We cannot say enough wonderful things about Riverview Entertainment! From the very first conversation through the last dance of our wedding day, Dan treated our celebration with professionalism, energy, and a personal touch that made everything feel uniquely “us.” DJ Dan absolutely nailed it. He took our playlist wishes and mixed them seamlessly with crowd favorites so that every moment—from the processional to the first dance to the party—felt perfect. The transitions were smooth, the announcements clear but not overbearing, and the vibe was electric without ever feeling forced. The photo booth setup was a HUGE hit. Guests of all ages had so much fun grabbing the props, striking silly poses, and making memories we’ll treasure forever. The setup was stylish and easy to use, and the printed keepsakes (plus digital versions) gave us an extra blessing of fun and memory-making. We absolutely loved having the video guest-book option. Instead of just signing a book, our guests left heartfelt, funny, spontaneous messages that we’ll watch and laugh at for years. It added such a meaningful dimension to our wedding night—so many guests commented afterwards how much they enjoyed participating. Thank you Dan and the Riverview Entertainment team for helping make our wedding dream come true!

We cannot recommend using Dj Dan for your wedding enough! He was funny and charismatic but incredibly professional. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about his crowd work skills! His website planning forms are super simple to use, he is easy to communicate with, and we LOVED the audio guestbook. Thanks for everything Dj Dan!

I use over a decade of experience in local nightclubs to bring professional and authentic club style (and LIVE!) DJ mixing at your wedding. My goal is to give you the celebration you deserve and a night your guests won't soon forget! Not only will I provide DJ entertainment, but I'll be your host and ensure your night runs smoothly. You can relax and enjoy your night with friends and family, knowing I'll ensure every moment happens just the way you envision it. Here's how Riverview Entertainment can help bring your vision to light and provide you with the day you deserve: ●Receptions include 5 hours instead of the standard 4, so your guests can enjoy a cocktail hour, and you won't feel rushed. ●A 1-hour rehearsal is included with my ceremony add-on. I'll bring your music so we can practice and ensure everyone is on the same page. Live streaming for up to 100 guests is also included! ●Lapel mics are available for ceremonies for a cleaner look and improved audio quality. ●Have an oddly shaped room or a beautiful patio your guests are sure to use? Sounds like a perfect place for my wireless speaker! No cables, no generators, and no outlets needed. Perfect for outdoor ceremonies too! ●A retro phone VIDEO guestbook is now included and is a new, exciting way for your guests to say congratulations! Pick the phone up, look into the camera, and leave a message! Send me a message to learn more! Riverview Entertainment DJ Services, LLC offers DJ services for weddings and events in Saint Louis, MO.

I have been DJing in local St. Louis clubs since 2012. I use that experience to provide an authentic, club style mix and entertainment for your wedding. Besides the entertainment, I am your host for the evening and I will facilitate your timeline so your evening goes as smoothly as possible while you and your guests have a great time. I have the passion, skill, experience and tools to make sure my job is done right so you can have the night and celebration that you deserve!

reception. Dan was incredibly easy to work with and was readily available to come to our rehearsal to make sure things went smoothly the day of our wedding. He also was instrumental in making sure the timeline continued as plan. The optional photo booth with prints of all of our guests ' photos was so much fun and a huge hit and everyone loved it.

DJ Dan did a really fantastic job at our wedding! He kept the dance floor full the entire night which made our night! He was able to cater to what we wanted our wedding dance floor...

vibe, and we partied hard! The only complaint I had was Dan arrived late to our rehearsal, which then caused some extra stress on the bride and groom due to having other time sensitive commitments that night. However, DJ Dan did a wonderful job in the ceremony, reception, and the photo booth and kept the entire night full of fun! I would highly recommend DJ Dan for any event or celebration as he knows how to keep a party running!

was super flexible, using the random cover song I chose from YouTube as my processional song and editing it so that I walked down the aisle at the perfect moment in the song. At the reception, Dan was a great MC, keeping everyone entertained and on track, and the music selections were exactly what we requested! The dance floor was never empty! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests saying that our wedding was one of the most fun weddings that they had been to and we owe a huge thanks to Dan for that. I highly recommend booking Riverview Entertainment!

As a bride, it was such a relief to know I could leave my reception in his hands and it would all go perfectly. In addition, the photo booth was one of the best I’ve ever seen, and we received a beautiful album with all our guests’ photos in it at the end of the night. Our guests had nothing but compliments for Riverview’s work the entire night and said it was the best and most entertaining wedding they’ve ever been to. Super fun, super personable, super professional!

From the beginning, Dan met with us to help determine what we were looking for and catering an offering to our exact needs. We needed Dan for sound support at the ceremony as well ...

as to be our MC and DJ at the reception (two separate venues). As an MC, he kept us on track and helped seamlessly shift between activities. When it came to the open dance floor, Dan knows how to read a crowd and mixed that dance floor into a continuous sea of bodies for the rest of the night. Long story short, Dan killed it.

s we wanted versus hated, etc, then called to confirm all details a couple nights ahead of time to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. He coordinated colors and lighting, his own attire, etc. At the wedding, he pretty much ran the show for me, which was such a weight off my shoulders. He did the music for both the wedding and reception. Since the wedding, we’ve heard nothing but compliments from all of our guests who say it’s the best wedding they have ever attended! Thanks so much Dan! We love you!

ty, song selections, timeline of events, etc. He met with us in person before the reception to make sure everything was good to go. The moment Dan stepped into the venue he was much more than our DJ, he became our announcer and entertainment. He made sure we remained on track with our timeline and was very energetic with our guests. We asked him to play any mix of genres throughout the night and there was not a single moment that the dance floor was empty. Many of our guests complimented Dan's services during and after the event was over.
