RedShoe

his experience with our specific venue, which was so great. He did an amazing job with all of our requests, playing exactly the type of music we were hoping for during our cocktail hour and dinner. For the ceremony, he timed the songs perfectly for our walks down the aisle, and for the party and dancing he read the room and played the BEST music. We got so many compliments on the music and many guest asked who the DJ was. Jonathan was super sweet, and we really appreciated his help and his work! Highly recommend RedShoe and JCR!

ra particular when searching for a DJ. Our coordinator from XOXO weddings actually recommended RedShoe! We really loved how RedShoe showcases music mixes from each DJ on their website so we could narrow down which music style we were looking for. We loved Manny's mixes and happy that we got to work with him. He is very easy to work with, communicative, and has great taste in music! For our wedding day, we informed him what genres of music we were thinking of for each part of the day, and he perfectly compiled separate playlists for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He also was a great MC and really helped the whole night flow seamlessly. We highly recommend RedShoe and are so thankful to have worked with Manny! Thank you again, Manny, for your awesome work and making our wedding the best wedding ever!

ns. We wanted a DJ who could play music through the decades as the night progressed, without over-engineering and taking away from the simplicity of some of the classics we picked. Rob knew exactly what we wanted and how to handle it. Honestly, he’s just such a sweet and friendly guy; someone you want to have around just for his good vibes. He offered to help out other vendors when setting up, checked in with us frequently throughout the night, and truly made our night a blast. We had such a good time with him we even recommended him to our family who is getting married in a few months - looking forward to partying with him again soon!

laylist that included our favorite songs and he found unique ways to incorporate them into our day! He also helped us edit our ceremony songs. I spent pretty much my entire wedding on the dance floor and the whole night felt so effortless and fun. He made sure everyone from baby boomers to get z had a blast and felt included and we cannot thank him and RedShoe enough for making our wedding vibe feel fun and uniquely ours.

istened to JCR's mixed tapes on the Red Shoe website-which were excellent- while on a road trip last summer. He created a narrative and perfect ambience on our wedding day, making it a memorable evening for all. He told a story and it unfolded from start to finish. The only bummer about getting whisked away for photos during cocktail hour was that we didn't get to hear that playlist. I danced all night and this says a lot for someone who doesn't get up much at parties. He is a great collaborator, patient, and friendly. We hired the "A" team for our wedding and JCR was an integral part of that team. I didn't want the evening to end and nor did our guests. Thank you, JCR, I am still smiling!

. He totally caught our vibe for music and for every moment of the day where sound was the make or break, he delivered above and beyond. I wish I had more opportunities to book him, but that's why I'm telling you all to do it for me ;) you are in very good hands with RedShoe LA and more specifically, Manny. Thank you!!

all the music details. He was knowledgable and familiar with our venue, experienced, and professional. We definitely had a unique playlist for him to work from and he welcomed the challenge. I highly recommend Redshoe and Anthony!

er high-end dj, they would be our first choice! Thank you! Janelle & Cesar

where we just kind of stood around waiting while everyone watched us. I would say 8/10 for MC skills, but 10/10 for DJ skills. He was also just a cool guy to get to know and talk to.

with RedShoe immediately. Ian matched us with DJ A-Ko who was so wonderful to work with as we continued planning our wedding. (We have friends who coincidentally worked with him for their wedding and shared nothing but amazing things.) Unfortunately, our wedding was postponed (numerous times) due to the pandemic and we were unable to secure A-Ko with our date change. Despite the stress of re-scheduling a wedding, Ian and his team made it SO seamless and ended up matching us PERFECTLY with Manny Soto (DJ MS-1) who also works with RedShoe. You would be CRAZY not to work with Manny :) When we received our proposed playlists for all aspects of the event (Pre-Ceremony, Ceremony, Reception), we honestly didn't change a thing. He understood our music taste so clearly and created the perfect balance of songs that kept guests on the dance floor from reception's start to finish. It's so clear that Manny is passionate about his work, well immersed in the industry and KNOWS exactly what he is doing. I am honestly SO grateful for this team and how kind, professional, and patient they were during all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, date changes, etc. Manny MADE our wedding and we are so grateful. Hire RedShoe - You will not regret it. XO

he whole event work! He kept things light and fun and made such a magical playlist out of the haphazard list and vibe description we gave him. Absolutely hire Red Shoe - they're incredible!

the phone and later Soo put together a sample playlist based on a few of our favorite songs. Soo matched our vibe perfectly! We confirmed a few more details that week and then had a final review meeting about a month before our wedding, where we ironed out the specific songs we wanted throughout the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception and ran through the wedding timeline. On the day, Soo honestly killed it! He did a great job MC'ing the reception and many of our guests commented on how good the music was. We had a solid dance party going before we had to shut things down for the night. Throughout the day and the planning process, Soo was calm and easy to deal with and made the wedding super memorable by setting the perfect vibe we were looking for. I can't recommend Soo highly enough for your wedding or other events and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

nderstanding of the kind of music and party that we wanted to have. He is so professional, super responsive and gave a ton of great recommendations. He is also so cool and relaxed. Everyone loved him at our wedding! Jonathan also did a great job of making announcements and directing the evening without being over the top / corny like I have seen with other DJs at other weddings. He is a total pro. I felt like he was on my team and would go above and beyond to make sure that we were having fun - it was awesome! He helped us so much when it came to choosing entrance songs, cake cutting, etc. and he kept the party going! Our wedding ended at midnight and I thought that most people would start leaving around 10pm, but no.. everyone and I mean EVERYONE was dancing until the very last minute. Over 90% of my wedding stayed until the very end because they were having so much fun. I got a ton of compliments after our wedding saying that everyone had so much fun and that it was the must fun and best wedding they have been to. Jonathan, thank you so much for being part of my dream wedding and creating the best dance party I could have imagined! You are missing out if you don't choose JCR! :)

and offered insight when we felt stuck in selecting songs for other parts of the event. Rob kept the dance floor moving throughout the night and we had so many guests tell us it was the best music out of any wedding they had been to. We (the bride and groom) have different tastes in music (bride = movie soundtracks/scores/musicals, groom = punk). Rob seamlessly blended our tastes! Not an easy task. He also dealt with pesky parents with poise and patience. Can we be best friends with you now, Rob?

not disappoint. Jonathan did an amazing job of taking our playlist inspo and turning it into the most amazing night of dancing. He knew exactly what to play to keep all ages on the dance floor and knew exactly what to play at the after party to carter more towards the younger crowd. EVERYONE, young and old, danced the whole night away - we had numerous comments from people that they couldn't feel their legs the next morning because they danced so much and that he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever seen. It was literally our dream come true and we're so thankful to Jonathan for nailing it. Jonathan was also a pleasure to work with. So on top of it, so helpful and so collaborative. He helped nail a remixed version of the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to and even came to our rescue when our ceremony mic was dying. Jonathan, you killed it, you're the best, you knew exactly what we wanted for our party and you made it SO EPIC! THANK YOU!!

ing and music would be a top priority we knew we would need to bring in the best. We asked around town and were recommended RedShoe by multiple people. Not only were our musical requests and dreams granted, but our guests were dancing all night long! Even our other vendors were dancing! We danced so much our feet and legs were sore the next day. Thank you again JCR! We wish we were getting married again just to have another dance party!

e the change and came prepared with his own equipment to make the night a success. He didn’t miss a beat with the music cues we wanted and kept the dance floor rocking! I can’t recommend his services highly enough. Thank you for seeing our wedding through, Ian, you’re the best!

hat good. Even before the wedding, Rob always responded in a timely manner to my emails and communicated well. It was a pleasure to work with him and I recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

t at transitions and knowing when to speed up or slow things down, and his personality was perfect for us. We were a little hesitant to hire a DJ at all, having had a horrible experience at my husband's daughter's bat mitzvah (think yelling commands, taking over the mike, inserting his personality into every moment of the evening and playing music WAY TOO LOUD). DJ Swon allayed our concerns in our first phone call; he was laid-back, cool, so nice and knew exactly how to handle every situation we brought up (just one example: the song we chose for our first dance, Cat Stevens's "How Can I Tell You," begins with an instrumental interlude that is too slow for dancing, and he knew instantly where to begin the song.) We'd hire them again in an instant.

dance party that lasted until the end of the night! He saw our vision and executed it with his own spin and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. He even incorporated a special musical guest (our collegiate marching band) and Greek dancing for my husband! We could not be happier with our choice and highly recommend RedShoe and especially DJ Manny!

y with lots of dancing! So for us, the DJ was one of the most important parts of day. Jonathan totally made this dream a reality! He is very non-judgmental and detail oriented, which made planning our wedding both easy and fun. Our wedding was in Santa Monica, but we live in Illinois. Jonathan was happy to meet with us over facetime and help us plan remotely. He goes the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. He is happy to announce speeches, MC-ed the grand entrance, and just help out in any way he can! Thank you to RedShoe and to Jonathan!

hat Rob was our guy, because man is he beyond awesome. He listened to exactly what we were looking for and also made some great suggestions. He kept the party moving and flowing, and most importantly...kept everyone on the dance floor! Thank you for making our wedding a day that will will never forget. Highly highly recommend!!

is the most amazing DJ in the entire world! He exceeded my expectations ten-fold. It was the most fun party with the best music! We had a vision, and we had fears. We wanted an elegant evening, great music, and an evening of fun. We did not want a “me centric” DJ who specialized in loud actions and cheesy commentary. Most DJs either talk too much or don’t get anyone dancing. In other words, we wanted someone who could find great music to fit our taste while keeping evening moving and loose but also dignified. He delivered in every way. He lets the music speak for itself and he has an amazing ability to transition throughout the evening. I wasn’t sure how to explain the music my husband and I like, but Ian helped us and ultimately was on the same page. We cannot thank him enough.

o go over the final details I was again amazed by his professionalism and flexibility. He made us feel so comfortable sharing our personal choices. As the big day arrived Manny was everything my friends had raved about all along. He was so much fun, and he had a wonderful way of communicating with our guests. Everyone had a blast! His energy filled the room. Manny knew just what to play and when to play it. He followed our playlist requests and added in some other great tunes as well. It’s been a week and I am still receiving feedback from my guests about the reception and the music in particular. Manny was able to fill the dance floor with guests who may not normally put on their dancing shoes. Manny is a perfect fit for his profession, and I highly recommend him. Manny represents the company Red Shoes in the best way possible.
