Ray the D.J. Professional Mobile Disc Jockey Service

as to be dancing all night and that’s exactly what happened. The dance floor was packed and grooving the whole time! DJ Fred, thank you so so much for helping to make our wedding night the best night ever!

ugh of plans, made everything go over so smoothe! And thanks for taking all my guests song requests haha

as and his personalized approach. I couldn’t have asked for a better Dj. Thank you Dj Fred!!

o help Marcus outline the best and most memorable experience for your wedding reception. The more complete your answers are the more personalized the program is and moreover you’ll be able to set up Marcus to materialize your vision for a fun and super memorable reception. This said, our wedding was the best (yes incredibly biased statement) but I mean it wholeheartedly because we worked in tandem with Marcus to create the playlist and order of events that worked for us with our guests in mind. The comments from our guests have been this was amongst the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding. You cannot go wrong with Ray the DJ company and you’ll hit a home run with Marcus as your DJ and MC.

be part of our day. He was a fantastic MC and made everything flow seamlessly—from the ceremony to the reception and even collaborating with the live entertainment we added. The dance floor was packed all night, and we got so many compliments on how much fun people had at our wedding. Highly recommend!

views, Marcus was the DJ everyone raved about. After booking him and celebrating our big day with him, I can promise you that those reviews were spot on. He is truly one of the kindest and most exciting DJ’s around. He was always in constant communication with us, guided us through the DJ party planning process, was quick to get back to us with any questions we had, he supported ALL of my visions, and he made sure that I felt special on MY big day. He kept the party going and had people on the dance floor all night long. The entire night ran smoothly and we all had so much fun. I got married over a month ago, and I still have people telling me that it was the most fun they have ever had. DJ Marcus is truly the best, I highly recommend him for your next big event.

ovided was very easy to use and he was there to answer and questions. We just picked the main songs we wanted played and he was able to put together the perfect mix based on our list and the vibe of the room at any current moment. Would highly recommend Fred! My mom’s name is Becky though, not ‘Becca.” ;)

tails and was willing to help in any way he could.

he wedding run so smoothly! Also, our dance floor was never empty all night!!! People of all ages were dancing because Marcus masterfully mixed songs that all generations like. From today's hits, to 80's songs. Our biggest worry was that no one would dance, and boy was that worry relieved fast because it was a party all night!

you only get married once, and there are no redos. Ray the DJ was a part of our contracted services with Desert View Wedding in Apache Junction. DJ Fred was assigned to us. I used their online portal and uploaded all of our specialty songs, special requests, and dancefloor music guidelines. I wasn't too concerned with the DJ, as I assumed they had all the tools they needed to deliver since it was all written in stone. Nonetheless, the week of our wedding came, and I thought it was strange DJ Fred still had yet to contact us, so I sent a highly detailed email breaking down the flow of our day, the specialty songs, and when/how to play them. I abbreviated the songs in this email because he had the exact artist/song name in his portal. BIG MISTAKE. When we chatted on the phone with DJ Fred the day after I sent the email, he was a disorganized and chaotic mess. He clearly did not take the time to prepare for our call and look over our email or the portal. I let our wedding planners know that he seemed disorganized and told them to send him our timeline ASAP so he had even more tools at his disposal to piece the day together (it was simple... we didn't do anything beyond normal). He even called my husband the day before our wedding to ask him what our last dance song was since my husband surprised me with the song choice, which, again, was in the portal—the day of, DJ Fred played the wrong song for our bridal party walking down the aisle. I uploaded Everywhere (acoustic) by Fleetwood Mac into the portal, and he played Everywhere by Michelle Branch. This is a HIGHLY personal moment, and the fact that he screwed it up would've been enough to leave this review, but it gets worse. He kept skipping our speeches and told our guests it was time to eat THREE times! He clearly didn't read/utilize the timeline (our DOC was sick, so we got stuck with the owner of Kristi Marie Events, who was absolutely the worst ever; you can see their review for their nightmare of a performance. But, my only thought is that our original DOC didn't add the parent speeches to our final timeline even though we emailed about it the month of). Moving on.... our Last Dance. Maybe I am the idiot here, but a last dance is when the couple is solo on the dance floor having a private moment. DJ Fred threw it on when my husband and I weren't even together and ruined what was supposed to be a very special moment for us. We ended up having him play an alternative song so we could still share that closing night moment, and DJ Fred threw it on and walked away in a fit. Truly, it was the worst experience from start to finish; I should've called out the red flags after the first phone call, but given their highly-rated reviews and how utterly clear I was with my directions, I trusted DJ Fred to do his very simple job of just playing the right songs at the right time. My advice? If you work with this company, overcommunicate and do not trust that your DJ "gets it." I know it's easy to think, well, they do this for a living, and how hard can it really be? But I was shocked at how poorly he did his job. Proceed with caution.

day special. His music selection was flawless, seamlessly blending our musical tastes and keeping the dance floor packed all night long, especially for a Sunday night wedding!!! Not only did he play all of our requested songs, but he also read the crowd perfectly, ensuring that everyone from our youngest guests to our grandparents had a blast. Fred truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We can't thank Fred enough for his incredible talent and dedication, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who will take their event to the next level!

es what he does which I think is so important. I had some specific ceremony requests that he handled wonderfully, and for the reception I gave him the vibes and free reign and he matched the energy perfectly. It was a full dance floor all night and we got so many compliments on what an amazing DJ we had. Could not recommend enough!

hat he thought was best, and his selections were bangers! Highly recommend

e speeches or not and Marcus just rolled with it. Very professional but he kept it fun! Would 10/10 recommend every time

me out. Whenever I had any questions along the way of planning he always responded quickly. You know you have a good DJ when the dance floor is kept full the entire night.

umental disney sounds playing in the background as guests arrived so he worked with me to make sure he found what I was looking for. We also had to start our processional and recessional songs at a certain time within the song and he had those all queued up per my requests. We had a phone call weeks before the wedding to talk about what energy and vibe we wanted from our music and then we continued to stay in contact up until the big day. He arrived early and set up for the ceremony and reception and got the mics ready for the ceremony. He was great at taking requests and playing music to keep the dance floor full. He even mixed some of the songs as one ended and the next began which was awesome. We highly recommend Ray the DJ company and working with Gustavo.

ered great suggestions for various parts of the ceremony and reception. On the big day, DJ Dan's timing and transitions were impeccable. From the heartfelt melodies during the ceremony to the high-energy beats that had everyone tearing up the dance floor at the reception, every moment was perfectly complemented by the music. What truly set DJ Dan apart was his ability to read the crowd. He effortlessly gauged the energy of the room and adjusted the playlist, accordingly, ensuring that everyone from our families to our friends had a fantastic time. His equipment and setup were top-notch, providing crystal-clear sound and a lighting setup that added an extra layer of magic to the event. Plus, they were professional and unobtrusive, letting the music take center stage without unnecessary interruptions. In summary, DJ Dan exceeded our expectations in every way. If you want a DJ who not only plays great music but also understands the intricacies of creating an unforgettable atmosphere, look no further. DJ Dan was so awesome, and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Thank you for making our day even more memorable!

ounce my grandfathers last name for the prayer, and even spelled it out phonetically for him, and he still mispronounced it on the day of the wedding. Also, I had emailed my DJ prior to the wedding day saying that prior to open dancing, I wanted him to announce all of the guests to the dance floor for a group photo prior to open dancing, I also reminded him of this during dinner and he still somehow forgot and started playing music without the announcement. My husband had to go remind him mid song and he abruptly cut the song which had all our guests very confused. Further, he forgot to announce last call for the bar. Additionally, he told us we paid for the 4 hour DJ package, so we scheduled other musicians for cocktail hour, but a week before the wedding emailed me saying we paid for the 5 hour package and offered to play later when he knew our reception had to be done by a certain time, so later was not an option. We were not offered any sort of refund for the additional hour that we had paid for already, even though it was his miscommunication. Overall, there were just a lot of issues with our DJ, and if I wouldn’t have given him a very specific list of must play/do not play, I do not think the music would have been good. Going back I would have picked a different DJ service.

essionalism throughout the whole process. He was prompt in his communications, came to the venue a week ahead of time so as to avoid last minute surprises, and showed up ready to go. My guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks Dan (and Ray)!!!

great personality and was so easy to talk to! Our night had such a great flow to it. I would absolutely recommend booking with this company!

m not lying when I say the vast majority of our guests were still partying hard until the very end of our reception, which was at midnight. That's what everyone wants for their wedding reception. Great investment!

bout the music and had so much fun! We’re so grateful to him, truly a great person and DJ! Thank you for everything Dan!! We wish we could give more than 5 stars!!!

Great party and experience.

ved seeing all of our guests on the dance floor enjoying our wedding. We are so happy with our decision to hire Ray the DJ and that we got Tony as our DJ. The website to put in all our song requests was also easy to use and navigate which was very much appreciated.

highly recommend Ray the DJ

ly listened to our likes and dislikes and worked with me to create a playlist for every aspect of our event (prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, reception, banging dance party). He was a very congenial MC and really got our crowd going. It was a perfect night!

e also made our family feel special. Thanks so much Ray!

easy to work with and you can select a DJ based on their profile on the company’s website. They were prompt, well organized, and did an amazing job managing the day and getting the crowd going during the reception. Everyone is still raving about what a great job the DJ did! We highly recommend using Ray the D.J. You will be so happy you did!

as fantastic. He made sure to interact with our guests, take cues from us and keep the dance floor hopping. It was the most fun I have had in years. He was also very caring and kept the music quieter during dinner so all of our guests could converse- very important since family functions have been kept to a minimum for almost 3 years d/t COVID. My husband and I are so happy that we went with this service and worked with James. Thanks for making our day so special.

e wanted and had everyone at my wedding dancing all night long! He played a great variety of music that had everyone out on the dance floor! Not only was Ray so nice understanding and easy work with his whole office and team were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process we truly appreciate everything they did and being such an all-around great team to work with! I told Ray at the end of the night I’m going to book him for our 10year anniversary party😂💃🕺🏼🥂

loor. He is also the nicest guy and cares about the bride and groom!

tions. He communicated efficiently, was timely, and was so nice to work with. He took every single one of our requests and made sure they happened. We received so many compliments from our guests about how they're "not really dancefloor people, but this was the most fun wedding they had ever been to"! DJ Marcus had the crowd on the dancefloor all night and the entire event went off seamlessly. I cannot thank Marcus enough!!

red him, we knew instantly he was the perfect fit. James helped us think about how we wanted the night to look, how we wanted things to flow, and helped us make it all happen. We really wanted our guests to feel comfortable and have fun. He walked us through scenarios that would help us achieve that goal. The music he played was great and he worked with the playlists we sent to him. We already have recommended him to all our friends and would absolutely recommend him to anyone else looking.

nderful job! we communicated a lot before the wedding to really nail it down. while other crazy things happened on the wedding day, the music was the most smooth sailing thing. jeremy made sure our day went well and made sure we would be happy throughout the night.

company. Ray the DJ, specifically James, went beyond what I could have hoped for. Music for my now husband and I was the hardest thing to nail down. James walked us though everything step by step and how to set up the flow of the day with music. He also helped with suggestions on games, dances, and overall fun and flow for our wedding. The music for our entire wedding day was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests and there was never a dull moment. He checked on us all throughout the night, asking if we needed drinks or anything to make our night better. Couldn't believe his attention to detail and attention to us having the best night. We found out later that his van had been hit by a bad driver on our street before the wedding and had to be towed. We had no idea. He didn't let on to anything happening. He was happy, professional, helping, and just all around an amazing guy. I couldn't recommend James or Ray The DJ enough. 10 out of 5 stars. Amazing.

usband and I. We got engaged in April 2019, with a set plan of having our wedding at Villa Siena on October 3, 2020. When we signed our contract at the venue they told us, trust us, you want Marcus to DJ your event and we will do everything we can to make that happen. We get the email shortly after that Marcus is our DJ and we have our first meeting with him. I knew right from the beginning that it was going to be a fun event. He brought energy to the table and had some amazing ideas about song selection. He also has a business called Phoenix Uplighting and he can provide you with personalized monograms, beautiful up lights and sparklers to take your event to the next level. We were so excited to have our wedding on October 3, 2020, but then Covid had other plans. We were devastated and didn’t know if we should postpone or not. We made the difficult decision to hold off hosting our wedding celebration until April 16, 2021. There was one problem though, I wasn’t sure if Marcus was going to be available for the new date. So I called him, pretty sure I was crying and he told me don’t worry, I’m available, we will make all the changes we need to make and he helped put our minds at ease. My husband and I ended up getting married on our original date and planned on doing everything again, ceremony through reception on April 16th with all of our family and friends. Marcus communicated with us every step of the way. Marcus made our event what is was. He was professional, up beat, and had the best song selection. Our guests keep asking about him. He did a beautiful monogram for us that included our original date with gorgeous up lights and surprised us with sparklers during our grand entrance into the ballroom. We danced the night away and having Marcus there made the night truly unforgettable. He also speaks four different languages including Italian which I am. He introduced us in Italian as well as English and my Nonna was so excited about it. It was the personal touches that made it so very special. We are blessed to know Marcus. If you guys are looking for a DJ service in the Phoenix area, look no further, Ray the DJ is where it’s at. And trust us, you want Marcus!!!

yed during different parts of your wedding. It was so much fun to hear the songs that we picked out throughout the night. He kept the dance floor going and lead the night’s events smoothly. The sound quality for both the ceremony and reception was amazing, we had no issues and our guests really liked him! I’d highly recommend working with Ray!

e had the absolute BEST music choices throughout our Sunday brunch wedding! We had no idea what type of music to play at a brunch wedding, and he really stepped up and could not have done a better job. He even found great acoustic covers of some songs we'd put on our recommended list! Plus, we were SO appreciative of how he kept the entire ceremony and reception running smoothly without being too talkative or over-the-top. Thank you for making our wedding so fantastic, Jeremy!

like, the variety in our guests ages, and made sure that all of our custom songs were correct. He took our music selections and used it as a jumping off point for the whole night while keeping everything fun and moving. He kept a good pulse on the tone of the event and matched it appropriately. Overall the company as a whole was very easy to work with, communicative, and has an easy to use planning tool to shape the entertainment for your special day.
