Larry was great at understanding what we wanted and explaining certain things that we didn’t understand or didn’t know what the usual was. He did great with playing the music we wanted when we wanted and for coordinating the timing of things.
Larry and the Reno Tahoe DJ Company were amazing for our reception! Larry is so well organized and communicates with you so well from the date of hire all the way up to your wedding and reception. One of the things my husband and I wanted from going to other weddings was an emcee or DJ who would inform the guests of everything there is to do and what the schedule was so guests don't feel like they are just sitting and waiting. Also, another important factor to us was a DJ who could keep guests dancing all night. We had so many of our family and friends come up to us after the wedding to tell us how great our DJ was and how he played a great variety of music. If you're looking for someone who knows how to read the room, keeps people on the dance floor, keeps the schedule flowing, and is very charismatic, then Larry at Reno Tahoe DJ Company is your guy!
Larry was our DJ and officiant for our wedding in October. We could not have picked a better person for the job. He was extremely easy to work with, had an excellent playlist, and engaged our guests. Even our guests commented on his great job and that he made the reception entertaining and fun. I would hire Larry again for any event that I have in the future.
DJ Larry was absolutely fantastic! He worked with us at every step of the process to make it incredibly stress-free, even when we had to reschedule the ceremony due to the pandemic. We had so many compliments on the music choices AND the games. Even managed to fit in all those Meatloaf songs that my husband specifically requested. :)
He knows what he's doing. Not only should you hire him you should listen to his suggestions. He's never pushy but he is a PRO! He'll work with you and he can roll with the punches. Our ceremony started hours late and he still made it an incredibly fun night.
Larry, the owner of Reno Tahoe DJ Company, was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Even during the hectic state of the world and needing to move our wedding date, Larry was very accommodating. He had several lengthy phone conversations with us leading up to our day, and provided in depth music questionnaires for us to fill out to ensure the music during our wedding was what we wanted. On the day of the wedding he arrived on time and was prepared. We paid for the Gold Standard package, which we felt was worth the money. Larry gave our officiant a clip on mic as well as us for our vows during the ceremony. Everyone greatly appreciated this touch because they really felt like they were apart of the ceremony. During the reception Larry suggested several fun and interactive games (totally optional) for us to do with our guests. This was a super fun way to included everyone in our wedding day also. Once the day was over we received so many compliments on the music played at our wedding as well as how great Larry facilitated the flow of the whole day. We would recommend Reno Tahoe DJ Company to anyone!
DJ's can make or break a wedding. Larry absolutely made our wedding one of the best I have ever been to (I may be biased)! But in all seriousness he made everything so easy from start to finish. I let him have free reign on everything and we couldn't have been happier. We have gotten so many compliments on how he was able to get everyone involved and his song selection was perfect. Not once did I think the night was dying down. I would recommend Larry to every person who is planning a wedding! Thank you again!!
Larry was the perfect addition to our magical wedding day. Despite smoky skies and ash falling, he made our wedding celebration one to remember forever. The DJ is an integral part of the wedding day and Larry was everything we could have hoped for.
Larry was more than amazing!
Having to postpone twice because of Covid, he worked with us and our changing schedule/venue. He was also very responsive. The music was perfect and he was great about reading the room and playing the music the quests were most excited about. Can’t recommend him enough!
Hiring the Reno Tahoe DJ company for my wedding was absolutely perfect! Larry provided an interactive and personalized experience for the Bride&Groom as well as our guests attending. He had so many fun ideas and ways to incorporate everyone who attended. From the start there wasn’t a dry eye during our ceremony which led us into a blast of a party dancing the night away to our favorite hits. I highly recommend The Reno Tahoe DJ company!!
The Reno Tahoe DJ Company exceeded our expectations for a DJ. Larry sent us easy forms to fill out about the songs we wanted to play and we heard every one! He also got back to us right away when we had questions. He went above and beyond with activities throughout the wedding. He truly made everyone feel like they were a part of our big day. I would highly recommend this DJ company!
Working with Larry and Cooper could not have been better and our experience was so wonderful. Communication with Larry was always easy and thorough, even through having to postpone our wedding date. Larry spent the time to answer all of my questions and really made me feel at ease about everything. Cooper did such a fabulous job the day of, and even perfectly executed a very last minute change we made to our first dance. He made the night flow seemingly effortlessly and played the most perfect playlist. I would absolutely recommend the Reno Tahoe DJ Company.
Reno Tahoe DJ Company were such a perfect crew for our wedding day! We went through a pandemic together and Larry made us feel like our day would still happen even when we didn't think it would. We are so thankful to have had worked with such a wonderful crew. Larry and Cooper go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect! They played the perfect playlist and every guest danced the night away! We are truly grateful to have had the perfect DJ for our wedding and would highly recommend them to everyone for any event!
This is, hands down, the BEST DJ you will EVER pick. Don't go for cheap, go for creative and professional. Larry created the most fun games for my small wedding, which actually got my guests engaged and ready for the night. He is such a sweetheart and gets the crowed involved! We received compliments all night about how fun he was and how personalized Larry made our wedding. Thank you, Larry!!
Working with Reno Tahoe DJ Company was a huge help while planning my wedding during the crazy year of 2020! Larry Williams was quick to respond to my emails and questions, and was flexible when plans had to change. The pre-event planning forms really helped dial down almost exactly what I wanted music wise. And the DJ, Cooper Johnson, did such a wonderful job - a lot of my guests personally told me! I would highly recommend using Reno Tahoe DJ for any event!
After the reality of 2020 set in and the original plan to have friend marry us became impossible my husband (fiancé at the time) needed to find an officiant that would be available for a small ceremony at a private residence in Reno. I honestly had no idea where to begin, so I just started reading bios of random local officiants. I was initially intrigued by Larry’s website and description of his services—specifically, the Love Story Presentation. I immediately showed my fiancé for his input, and he was all in. Interestingly enough, my fiancé had worked with Larry at Harrah’s which is a sentimental place for the beginnings of our relationship. Larry also has several gigs around town, so it was a cool that our paths will most likely cross again. We both knew Larry had the right background to perform a ceremony that would have the perfect blend of elegant and extravagant (exactly what we were looking for).
Prior to the wedding we had a phone interview with Larry where he talked through the general outline for the ceremony. This even included the smallest details such as where everyone would be standing. He actually brought up a great point when it comes to the officiant being in all of the photos. The fix? Larry mentioned that he could perform the ceremony while standing to the side to create a more intimate experience for the couple. Yes, please! Next, he asked us lots of questions to get a good understanding of how we met and fell in love, how the proposal happened, and the details about “us” and our world. Even though the interview was over the phone I felt like the three of us bonded and got to a great place of familiarity. After the interview portion Larry also talked to us about various “rituals” that he could incorporate into the ceremony. I was relieved that he had so many suggestions, because I had given up even thinking about an additional ritual after the fifth Pinterest post that suggested a “sand ceremony.” Finally, Larry also gave us some guidance for writing your own vows.
On the day of I did not even think about the officiant, because he had such confidence and compassion during the pre-marital consultation I knew everything would go smoothly. The Love Story Presentation that Larry crafted was so beautiful and took me back to all of our wonderful experiences. I would highly recommend every couple include the Love Story for any size ceremony. Larry delivered the lovely ceremony, got signatures from our witnesses, and was promptly on his way. He also filed the paperwork! Larry helped make our wedding day memorable and worry free.
Planning a wedding in 2020 was, as you may suspect, an incredible challenge. After COVID-19 restrictions prevented our good friend from being able to officiate our wedding, my wife and I turned to the internet to find a capable officiant. While I attended a Zoom meeting, my wife compiled a short list of potential officiants for me to review. One name on that short list stood out to me. Larry Williams. Larry and I had worked together previously at Harrah’s Reno. He in a DJ role and myself as an audio engineer. I told my then fiancée that Larry Williams has that “golden voice” and that we should absolutely reach out to him first. I sent an inquiry email and Larry responded quickly and professionally. After a short phone call we were absolutely certain that Larry was the man to officiate our wedding.
Larry scheduled a follow up phone interview with the two of us and discussed the wide range of a la carte services that he could work into our ceremony. Larry led us through a beautiful stroll down memory lane as we divulged to him the entirety of our love story. After going over a few other concepts we wanted to include, Larry had everything he needed to put together a beautiful ceremony.
On the big day Larry was punctual and professional. His calm demeanor put me at ease and he even came through with a Tic Tac to erase the scotch from my breath. He handled my last minute instructions with ease and delivered a perfect ceremony for my wife and me.
Larry is an absolute professional and I could not recommend him enough for any type of ceremony you are looking to put together.
Book Reno Tahoe DJ Company!
Larry DJed for our wedding and was absolutely amazing. You get the perfect music, energy, and expert service with this company. Larry was extremely professional and was super easy to work with. He was patient, kind, and asked questions to make sure to give us the fun night and atmosphere we were looking for. Years of expertise and care really shine through with Larry. He helped us create a really enjoyable night despite all the things going on in the world (2020’s been quite a year haha). We are beyond happy with the service Larry provided.
Larry did an amazing job! Very professional, and did exactly was we discussed prior to our wedding. I highly recommend using his services.
Working with Larry made the MC/DJ aspect of our wedding painless. His professionalism and experience added so much to our wedding. Seriously our guest feedback was consistently about how good Larry was and how he made the wedding. Everyone was part of the event and the way he kept the event moving was exactly what we wanted and needed.
Larry was fantastic to work with, helped us through the entire process on timing, what the best music set would be to fit our needs. Our actual DJ for the wedding was Cooper, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was super attentive that entire night and helped everything go super smooth. I appreciate them both so much, and highly recommend them!
The Reno Tahoe DJ Company did such a great job with the music and overall flow for our wedding. Our DJ was Cooper and he was so nice and did a great job MCing the whole night. This company made picking our song selection easy and we were able to get a different version of a few songs that we really wanted no problem. Larry (the owner of the company) was easy to work with and available to communicate literally at any time which was great for our busy schedules. Overall a great experience and we would recommend this company for anyone!
Larry was great. Professional, timely, fun games, charming and our guests loved the interaction and environment Larry created. I couldn't ask for a better person for the job. Well worth the money and we gained a new friend in the process. Glad to have shared our special day with Larry. I would gladly use his services again in the future. Doug & Denise Larned.
All we wanted was for our guests to walk away having a good time which is what we got with Larry. He is a true professional and made our wedding extra special. He had a lot of ideas to personalize our wedding, I received a lot of positive feedback from my guests as well. I would recommend him to anyone who asks.
Larry was awesome! He was our officiant AND DJ. The ceremony was great, it was short and sweet but had just enough of our story and words on marriage to keep our guests attention. His DJ skills were amazing, he listened to all our wants and requests for wedding songs that we wanted played. He even went out of his way to purchase songs from our list(which was pretty extensive) that he didnt have. He contacted us multiple times before our wedding so that he had every detail correct and to ensure he met every single expectation we had! Larry is awesome and we 100% recommend using him!
It's amazing how much a DJ becomes part of your day. It's so important to pick the right one as they set the mood, flow, and are the voice of the wedding. We could not have been happier with Larry at our wedding! He, without a doubt, knows his stuff! His pre-wedding meeting with us made us so comfortable with him and his plan. He promised he wouldn't surprise us with anything we didn't want and walked through every crowd interaction activity with us in advance. It was so reassuring to know that we had complete control over how our evening would flow and that he truly cared about customizing everything EXACTLY as we wanted. He got all of the songs we requested, mixed in genres based on our interests, and helped with music suggestions when we weren't sure. He added so many special moments and memories to our day and made us feel like true stars of the show. We would recommend him without any hesitation! HE IS AWESOME!!!
Larry did a fantastic job! He knows how to stir up excitement at the reception and get everyone moving. In our reception we did something unusual. Larry doesn't ordinarily allow karaoke; but since I am a singer, he made an exception and allowed me to sing "Just the Way You Look Tonight" to my bride as "the first dance." It was the highlight of the evening for me, and one of the highlights of the reception for everybody! Thanks, Larry!
Larry was tremendous, from planning to coordination to execution. He was top notch in every respect, and put on one heck of a party. Will definitely be looking for any reason to work with him again!
Larry was both our DJ and officiant and KILLED IT. We had a few requests for him:
1) Keep the guests entertained
2) We want every song to have an "oh I love this song" reaction
Larry did that and MORE for our wedding. He brought fun ideas that made the evening unique and memorable. You know when people come up to you after the wedding talking about how awesome the DJ was it was a good choice. Thank you so much, Larry, for your bright personality and passion for entertainment!
Larry was great through the whole process of officiating and DJing our wedding this April. He essentially led the entire wedding. He gave me, the bride, extreme peace of mind knowing there was someone keeping the whole party going. His music choices were great and his officiating got us through the tears! He even made the ceremony music changes seamlessly with a remote while officiating!
I would recommend Larry to anyone in the Tahoe/Reno area.
There are absolutely no words to describe how incredible Larry Williams was! He made our day the most memorable, fun loving, and amazing time! We partied it up with our loved ones and celebrated our marriage. He was so kind, helpful and wonderful throughout our wedding planning journey and was patient with us. As everyone is still saying we had the wedding of the year, we truly owe it to this man for making that happen!
As the mother-of-the-bride, there were quite a few things to worry about but RT DJ was NOT one of them! Larry was great! The wedding was out of Eureka (NV) he was so good to work with , had no problem coming a long ways, it was so easy to work with this company. He had people on the dance floor all night and even went an extra 2 hours because everybody wanted to keep dancing! He played the music we asked for and kept the program going with ease. Anyone looking for a professional, easy to work with person to keep your reception flowing should use this company!
Larry provided a wonderful service highlighting the joining of our two families. He was extremely easy to work with and very professional throughout the whole process. This was an outdoor wedding in a park with a reception following afterwards. He also was able to recommend an excellent Photographer. The DJ at the reception following, provided a smooth transition from the ceremony to the reception. We were able to select the type of music and set the songs for the wedding in advance, which allowed us to enjoy the day.
I endorse with enthusiasm the Reno Tahoe DJ Company! From the moment of first contact eight months before the wedding (which took place September 16, 2017 at the Nevada Museum of Art), Larry was quick in his responses to my questions and requests. He was friendly, exuded professionalism, and made me feel confident that a DJ from his company would provide great A/V and master of ceremonies services.
DJ Cooper did a fantastic job the day of our wedding. The music and microphones for our outdoor ceremony worked perfectly. I appreciated that there was both a lapel mic for our officiant and a hand-held mic for our reader. Larry and I discussed in advance our desired timeline for the post-ceremony events, and DJ Cooper helped everything flow beautifully. We chose the types of music genres that we wanted at various points in the evening, and DJ Cooper chose excellent suggestions and made sure the music was loud enough but not too loud. I can't believe how many of our friends and family members danced: even my boss, who told me afterward that he and his wife had never danced in public before! DJ Cooper faded out the music perfectly where we wanted it during the parent dance songs, and our first dance was coordinated splendidly to the music just as we wanted.
Some of my favorite memories of the reception are dancing with my friends to an awesome 1940s swing tune and the crescendo of the pace of the last song of the night, which started out as a slow dance and then got rollickin'. I'm not sure how I had never heard Donna Summer's "Last Dance" before, but I'm so glad that DJ Cooper played it. We had distributed glow sticks for the grand exit right before DJ Cooper started that song, and seeing all my friends and family dancing under the dimmed lights, waving their glowsticks is one of my most joy-filled memory from our wedding day. Hands down, I recommend Larry Williams and his Reno Tahoe DJ Company to all my Reno area friends, family, and internet strangers.
My husband and I got married on 9/23/17 and had a fairly large wedding and some specific requests in regards to the style of music, ceremonies, etc. We were looking for someone who would manage the ceremonial activities in a timely manner, show us where we need to be when we need to be there, and facilitate a fun environment for us and our guests. We never could have even imagined how far beyond our expectations Reno Tahoe DJ Company would go. We were lucky enough to have Larry perform our ceremony as well as DJ the reception, and it could not have been more perfect. He told our love story during the ceremony, managed the activities during the reception beautifully, and absolutely handled everything flawlessly. On our way to the honeymoon my husband and I both were talking non stop about what an incredible job Larry and Reno Tahoe DJ Company did with our wedding. Prior to the wedding I had no idea how important it would be to have a DJ that was able to handle all that Larry did, but I can not stress enough how incredible it is to have someone who is so good at managing the reception the way Larry did. If I could give ten stars, I would. Larry takes the time to actually get to know the couple, their story, the whole history, and even takes time to honor the parents/family of the bride and groom to truly make the ceremony all about you and your love for each other. I can't recommend strongly enough the Reno Tahoe DJ Company, and Larry specifically although I'm sure everyone in the company will give a stellar performance for your special day.
The Reno Tahoe DJ company provided the perfect compliment in wedding day pre ceremony, ceremony and reception music. Larry Williams was so helpful through the entire process with song selection ideas and taking the pressure off of the bride. I spoke to him multiple times about the songs, he directed me to the long list of songs for different categories of dance on his website but also played music over the phone to help me select the perfect songs for my big day. He was very prompt in his responses to me every time I e-mailed him with any questions. My DJ on the wedding day was excellent as well. He checked with me regularly throughout the reception, he kept the guests dancing the whole evening. I had to extend the reception twice because people were dancing and having so much fun. This was exactly the experience I was hoping for! Thank you Larry and Cooper!
We recently got married at the Resort at Squaw Creek and DJ Cooper and his assistant, Jesse, were absolutely amazing! It was an intimate wedding--only about 50 guests, but they had the dance floor going until the farewell song. I requested a few unusual songs for the recessional and specialty dances, and the Reno Tahoe DJ Company made sure to acquire them at no additional expense. We were so impressed by the professionalism of the whole staff, including Larry, who made a few phone calls in the weeks leading up to ensure that everything would go according to plan. They were extremely accommodating and set up special speakers after I decided that I wanted our first dance in a different location. All of the music that we requested was played at the right time and Jesse even helped with our slideshow so that we could enjoy the presentation along with our guests. Larry genuinely wanted our day to go smoothly, so he sent an extra assistant and this was a very pleasant surprise. Overall, a perfect combination of music and a stress-free experience. DJ Cooper kept everything on schedule and was the epitome of a professional. I've been to many weddings where the DJs talk way too much--this was absolutely not the case! We would recommend the Reno Tahoe DJ Company 100% and could not be happier with this choice for our wedding.
Larry Williams of RTDJ was the DJ/emcee for our recent wedding. Larry made our wedding day flow smoothly - with lots good music that was appropriately timed, and guiding us through the entire process - from walking down the aisle to cutting the cake, to the last dance. Our guests continue to comment how much they enjoyed the event, citing the good music and fun and timely commentary provided by our DJ. Larry was personable and pleasant through the entire process, and we highly recommend his professional service for any event you may be planning.
We had Cooper... he was amazing!
I had been to a wedding that he played at and was blown away and booked him immediately!
The music was completely perfect and gave our wedding the exact feel that we had hoped for!
The owner, Larry, is wonderful and very involved in the process.
If you are looking for the perfect DJ, look no further!
Larry did an excellent job for our wedding. He kept in touch with us to keep up on what we wanted for our wedding and helped with ideas on what would make it OUR wedding. I highly suggest using the Remarkable Wedding Package. This makes your wedding so unique and one you won't forget.
Larry was one of our best vendors; he was always responsive and worked with us on every aspect of our whole day! He was more prepared than our wedding planner. He cared about us and what we wanted. He made suggestions, but untimely, it was up to us and he did everything we requested. Reserve him early! It is a little more, but if you start early, you can make payments to him. We did the fantasy into and just as Larry said, each guest told us they had never seen anything like it. We were shocked how many people were there until the end because Larry kept the party going and everyone was on the dance floor!
