We hired Dakota at Mountain Sound DJ about 10 months before our wedding. We were under the impression that he would be our DJ. About 2 weeks before our wedding we were reached out to by another DJ named Michael stating that he would be our DJ for the event. In total panic mode we reached out to Dakota who reassured us that he would be our DJ and that Michael was going to be there assisting him. We had our meeting with Michael before the wedding and we did not feel like Michael understood our vision, but we felt okay because we were under the impression that Dakota was going to be there for the entire night.
To our dismay, Dakota left after cocktail hour, abandoning us with Michael, the replacement DJ, who was unfortunately not the right fit for our celebration. Despite providing a carefully curated playlist that we had spent 10 months preparing, Michael chose to disregard our preferences. The dance floor emptied pretty quickly and we ended up cancelling our after party because a majority of the guests left early. It was an absolute nightmare.
Dakota failed to adhere to our agreement which resulted in a loss of trust and ultimately crushed our long-awaited celebration.
Our wedding had been carefully planned for an entire year to ensure an enjoyable and memorable experience, but instead, we faced a disappointing reality. If there is one lesson to take away from our experience, it's the importance of having a reliable DJ at your event. Unfortunately, our dreams of a joyous celebration were shattered, and we were left with a sense of humiliation.
To make matters worse, Dakota had the original review removed from The Knot, so we are reposting it. It makes us question what other negative reviews may have been removed. We were completely lied to by Dakota which resulted in a complete let down. It has been about 6 months since our wedding and the devastation has not worn off. We would strongly suggest against hiring this vendor.
Need a DJ? Look no further! Matthew was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I look forward to my next opportunity to work with him again! He clearly loves what he does, and cares about the people he works with. His care and concern about the bride and groom was obvious and he made us feel like family. Thank you Matthew for everything! 10 Stars!!
Dakota was amazing and provided the BEST music/sound for our mountain wedding. 100% recommend for any couple!!
Dakota and Michael did an amazing job at our wedding! They were very thorough in preparation and brought a great energy themselves to the day. The music they played perfectly fit what we were going for and helped make our day that much more special!
Thanks to Dakota, we had the best time dancing the night away at our wedding! He kept the partying going and read the room so well. He listened to all of our "do not play" and "definitely play" suggestions and would highly recommend booking with Mountain Sound. Thank you so much!
Dakota is super communicative, organized, concise, and a pleasure to work with! His mashups are a must and he does a great job of keeping your guests moving! Thank you Dakota!
We had Michael DJ our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! He listened to our requests and nailed the vibe for the night. Everyone was out on the floor dancing and we heard so many compliments about how great our DJ was. Highly recommend!
Dakota was so much fun and so creative! I asked him to do a few specific things (some mashups, incorporate certain songs, etc.) and he absolutely killed it. He also added in a few surprises which I loved. He was easy to work with and just generally made the DJ portion of our wedding stress free. I would highly recommend booking him for your wedding!!
Dakota is awesome to work with! Throughout the planning process, he made things so easy and answered all our questions. We will forever appreciate him going the extra mile to create a custom mash up for our first dance. Our wedding reception was a blast! For anyone looking for a high quality and great DJ for their wedding, look no further!
If you’re looking for a wedding DJ, your search is over! Dakota did an amazing job at our wedding. I asked him to keep the dance floor crowded, and he totally delivered! Every song he played from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing was spot on and exactly the right vibe. Plus, he was communicative, responsive, and thoughtful in the months leading up to our wedding day. Highly recommend!
Dakota was incredible!
My fiancé Sarah and I just completed our wedding weekend and we could not have asked for a better DJ. So easy to communicate with, email with and jump on phone calls with. We had some last minute details that were executed well! Everyone at our wedding raved about the music choices!
We had the silent disco as well and it was a hit!
Thank you Dakota for making our wedding fantastic!
Dakota is F*****G AWESOME! If you want a great DJ and someone easy to work with, then this is your person. My wife and I had a large variety of musical genres and he was able to blend everything perfectly. Even though we were busy during the cocktail hour and dinner (we didn't get to enjoy the music), I had all different types of guests come up complimenting the music. Dakota was the person that give us the idea to do our first dance outside in a unique way and it turned out perfect. The reception was a party with everyone having a blast. One of my good friends during the reception even come up and said "I wish your DJ did my wedding!". Another aspect I really appreciated was it wasn't just a plug and play like some DJs where it feels like a regular playlist. He did a phenomenal job combining genres and mash ups of the songs we requested. I could not recommend Dakota more!!!!
As a local wedding planner, Dakota was the first vendor we could not wait to book. The very very best, and we are still receiving compliments about our wedding night from our guests! Always on top of it with song choices and keeping crowds on their feet. Timely, professional, organized, and the kindest human. Will always recommend Dakota to our couples and we feel so lucky he was available for our day. Thank you for everything Dakota and making our day beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of! - S & P
Dakota had excellent communication and made sure everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch. He played great music and had everyone out on the dance floor.
We had an incredibly positive experience working with Mountain Sound DJ. We hosted a silent disco for our wedding in June in Colorado and it was an epic success. Dakota was very responsive and helpful during the planning process, and was very patient with all of our questions as this was the first time we hosted a silent disco. He showed up day-of with a positive attitude and DJ'ed an incredible dance party. We are SO happy to have worked with him and highly recommend Mountain Sound DJ!
Dakota DJed our wedding and did an awesome job! He seamlessly transitioned guests from one part of the venue to another and got everyone on the dance floor! He took a close look at our music style, song recommendations and curated a playlist that was absolutely perfect. He was also highly responsive and attentive to us during the planning process. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! Thanks Dakota!
Dakota was great. Nice guy to work with, on time, professional, made sure everything sounded good, kept everybody dancing, great time. Would definitely recommend using Mountain Sound to friends.
Dakota KILLED it on our wedding day!! He was flexible when we had some rain delays (and came prepared with his own rain jacket ha) and was AMAZING at mixing together songs and taking requests. We'd definitely recommend Dakota to anyone looking for a high quality DJ for their big day!
Dakota was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Very professional, attentive, and great equipment to make the party SOUND awesome. Great DJ too, his seamless beat-matching made for a great time and story through out the night. Dakota is awesome, thanks again, for making our wedding amazing!
We had such a great experience with Dakota! Our wedding reception was a blast and he kept everyone dancing all night long. The communication beforehand was always fast and clear, and he was patient with us as we asked all of our questions beforehand. I highly recommend Dakota's company for anyone in need of a DJ for their event!
Dakota was awesome!!! He played amazing music all night for our wedding, kept the energy really high, and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process!!! I highly recommend Dakota to any future brides planning their wedding! The dancing was the best part of the whole wedding!! Thank you so much Dakota!
Our wedding was on 08/29/22 at the Lyons Farmette, Dakota was incredibly accommodating when it came to music requests both before and during the wedding. Dakota and I even had a little zoom meeting before the wedding to discuss my husband and my wants and needs for the wedding music. Dakota made all of the wedding announcements and was great to have around!
Great communication, delivered great service!! Would definitely recommend Dakota for your event.
Dakota is amazing! He was so easy to work with and was very responsive whenever I reached out to him. We used him for silent disco and it was the highlight of our evening. Our guests had the best time and kept talking about it the next day. Would highly recommend hiring Dakota if you want to have a fun filled evening of dancing!
Dakota is such a fun yet calm presence to have as a DJ. He's a total pro, willing to roll with last minute changes and requests. Had our group of guests all out on the dance floor having a blast! Highly, highly recommend.
Dakota was a dream to work with! From his quick and efficient response times, to his flexibility and creativity in aligning with what we wanted, he delivered a fantastic silent disco dance party for our guests! Our guests LOVED the silent disco and danced right til the end. Dakota also MC'd during dinner and did an excellent job commanding attention with grace and keeping the timeline moving along smoothly. Thank you Dakota, we are so grateful we got to work with you on our magical day! :)
Mountain Sound DJ and Dakota did a great job for our wedding this summer! Dakota was professional and personable and all of our guests had a great time at the reception. The questionnaire and communication that took place before the reception helped the evening to really flow well and it helped to ensure that everything that we wanted was included in the evening. Dakota helped to make our evening very special!
Dakota made us feel so prepared leading up to our day and he let us infuse our own special songs into his playlist (which was so perfect, by the way). He had our guests tearing up the dance floor all night, and on more than one occasion we had guests sprinting across the lawn to the dance floor to catch their favorite song. Everything went so smoothly, and we couldn’t recommend Dakota enough. Thank you!!
Where do I even start!? When choosing a silent disco for our wedding I was instantly excited, but finding and booking Dakota was the icing on the cake! His communication was great! His questionnaire to get to know our music style was detailed and much appreciated. We went with three channels. We created two playlists….. and Dakota was live on the third. And let me just be honest, Dakota’s channel was THE BEST the entire night!!! Music was super important to my husband and I (especially me) and we really didn’t want traditional wedding music. Dakota listened. AND DELIVERED. The silent disco was absolutely my favorite part of the entire night. I danced from the second the music started playing til the end of the night. Thank you Dakota! I’m ready for our next celebration and silent disco! 🥰🥰 Don’t think twice, just book MountainSound DJ! You won’t regret it.
Dakota was our DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and silent disco!! We had such an amazing experience with Mountain Sound DJ. Dakota is extremely responsive and kind. He was professional, on time, and well organized. We are so thankful that we trusted him with our big day. The silent disco was the best decision we have ever made!! Our guests can't stop talking about it. My husband and I agree that the silent disco was our favorite part of the wedding day. I could not recommend Mountain Sound DJ and Dakota more!!
Excellent professional who knew how to read the floor and kept everyone dancing! Having the one live channel plus two curated playlists was great. Would recommend anyone to his services.
Dakota made our wedding day so special, he somehow managed to play music my husband and I both loved despite how different our tastes are. His set up was professional and sleek, and he is so kind and flexible to our needs. I would highly recommend working with him for your next event!
I cannot say enough nice things about Mountain Sound DJ. From start to finish, Dakota was responsive and knowledgeable. Prior to the wedding, Dakota sends a questionnaire which covers everything from song requests to timing to set up. From that questionnaire he creates the perfect reception for you and your guests.
Our wedding had been planned for outside however it ended up raining the entire day so everything had to be moved inside or under the covered patio including Dakota. Even though he was packed tightly under the patio to avoid the rain you would never know it by the quality of his set up and music. Through all the chaos and moving parts, Dakota was just to pleasant and always had a smile on his face. He even helped us to keep things on time by giving us ques for our dances and things which was a huge help.
On top of the rain, our venue also had stricter policies on noise and amplified music. We wanted to be sure we were respective at all times of our neighbors and the noise policy. Dakota did a wonderful job at managing the volume and when it was time to end the music that we never received one complaint.
All in all, I would recommend Mountain Sound DJ to anyone looking for a DJ for their special day.
I can not say enough good things about this DJ.
Dakota did the music for our wedding ceremony and our reception and it could not have been more prefect.
I HIGHLY recommend using Mountain Sound DJ for any events.
You will not be disappointed.
We had a truly stand out experience with Dakota as our DJ for our wedding! From our initial conversation to the completion of our event Dakota was responsive, punctual, and went above and beyond for us! He responded so kindly to some difficult requests for ceremony music, He even created a personalized compilation of songs for my dad to use for our father daughter dance without any problem! On our wedding day he came extra early to ensure that everything would go smoothly and ensure that he had everything running properly for us. You will not regret hiring Dakota, we can't praise him enough for making our wedding a beautiful success.
Worked with Dakota for a private, intimate event and he was amazing! Thanks so much! Responsiveness and punctuality was spot on!
We had an amazing experience with Mountain Sound. Dakota was so easy to work with. He took into account all our demands and really made it an unforgettable night!
I can’t recommend Mountain Sound enough. Dakota was professional, very responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Our dance floor was packed all night. So much fun!!
