Scott did an amazing job DJing our September wedding at Saratoga Springs. He was friendly and professional. He took our input and filled in the gaps with songs which did a great ...
job to set the mood. We had such a great time on the dance floor because he kept the party going all night long! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone who needs a DJ for their event.
Scott is highly professional, organized, and helpful when deciding on both the flow of events and what types of songs would work for each moment. He was very knowledgeable of our v...
enue’s unique rules, the Seymour Center, and handled these with ease. The entire night went so smoothly, and I thought he did a particularly great job transitioning the music from more jazzy cocktail hour selections to adjusting the vibe later in the evening to keep the dance floor popular. He also did an excellent job of MC’ing the speeches, announcing key events, and working in a good moment for an impromptu thank you speech we had forgotten to make. We would highly recommend him!!

Scott was an absolute joy to work with, both in the months leading up to our wedding as well as day-of! He had some great music choices for cocktail hour and dinner, and had our gu...
ests on the dance floor all night long! Not only did he play fantastic dancing music, but he provided some MC skills to make everything move seamlessly. During the planning process, he was super responsive, friendly, very organized (he sent us a huge spreadsheet for song preferences!!), easy to communicate with, and just all around a great guy. We highly recommend Scott for any DJ needs you may have!
Planning a wedding means working with a bunch of different vendors and putting a lot of faith in people to make your special day go smoothly. Scott was the vendor we never had to w...
orry about, because he was always so on top of things and it was such a relief.
The DJ Music Packet he made was one of the planning tools that really made us feel like our wedding was coming to life. It made us feel organized and excited to get those details planned and once we sent that info over to Scott, he took care of the rest.
On the day of the wedding, he played the perfect mix of music to get all ages on the dancefloor. We were able to attend part of our cocktail hour, and the music from start to finish was great.
We don’t know if we will ever have another event that requires a
DJ but we wish we did, because working with Scott was so awesome. Thank you again Scott for all the work you did leading up to the big day and for being a part of our wedding.
We hired Scott for our wedding in early November 2022, and it was one of our best decisions! Throughout the entire process, Scott was super responsive, friendly, transparent, profe...
ssional, and so kind. We interviewed a couple of DJs before signing with him, and we liked his personality the best. He was also organized in his meetings to really walk us through the process, making sure we thought of all the important wedding songs, and even had a master playlist that we could go through to request songs to play at our wedding. He was a ton of fun on the day of, and we couldn't imagine anyone else being our DJ. We have so much love for DJ Trug!
Scott was absolutely incredible to work with! He’s so fun and makes it easy to plan your event with him. Scott is knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with his time. Everyone at o...
ur wedding loved him! If you’re looking for a DJ – you must book Scott! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the amazing night it was without him.
Look no further - you've found your DJ. There is absolutely no one more kind, responsive, professional, or fun than Scott. He replies to inquiries incredibly quickly, is beyond org...
anized and *very* reasonably priced, but most of all, he puts on a GREAT party. We gave him just a few genres/artists we liked, and he created an incredible playlist. He's not just a great DJ - he's an excellent MC who knows exactly how to make sure a wedding flows smoothly. I will never hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone looking for a DJ. Now we're trying to find an excuse to have another party that needs a DJ so we can hire him again!
Scott was amazing! He was one of the most responsive vendors we’ve communicated with and answered all our questions with tact. Scott is an incredibly kind and polite guy and was su...
ch a great addition to our wedding. He incorporated our requests, had first class equipment, and kept the celebration going. Thank you Scott, you helped make our wedding day a very special one!
We planned our wedding in 3 months and booked Scott about a month before our wedding. What we liked most about Scott was that he was very personable, thorough, and can tell he genu...
inely cared about making sure our big day went smoothly. Given the short time frame leading up to our day, we had two meetings with him over Zoom to go over our musical taste and the logistics. Scott was extremely patient with us as we were indecisive on our music choices and was very thorough in his follow ups to ensure we had all the details sorted out and he understood the run of day for both the ceremony and reception. He has a very extensive song list to choose from and any specific requests we had, he would be able to add it to our playlist.
During our reception, he was having a great time behind the ones and twos and read the energy on the dance floor. If you’re looking for a DJ/MC that’s affordable but delivers, we would definitely recommend Scott. Thanks Scott for the great time and making sure our wedding was so fun!
Scott Trugman came highly recommended as an excellent and budget friendly DJ from an event coordinator at our venue at Pajaro Dunes Resort in Santa Cruz County. We had Scott as our...
DJ for our 100 person wedding in September 2018 and we couldn't have been happier with our decision! From the very first communications Scott was personable, quick to respond, and very organized. His many positive reviews helped with our decision as well. Scott's DJ services were exactly what we needed as his price included portable microphone and speaker system for our beach ceremony. Scott was familiar with our unique venue as I was worried about flow issues and moving guests from two rooms and a deck area for the reception. His prior experience with this venue and confidence with dealing with our flow concerns put us at ease. Scott also has a wonderful event packet that walks you through your wedding and helps to guide what songs you want to use during the ceremony, first dance, parent dances, specialty dances, and even music during the cutting of the cake which I had never considered. He also has a master playlist that we used to rate songs so that he knew our music taste and preferences. Since we live out of state, most of our communications were over email and a few months before the wedding, Scott set up a phone interview to confirm all the details of the wedding and to get to know us better. We felt very excited to meet Scott at our wedding and his calm and organized presence over the phone translated in person. He was exactly the DJ we thought we were getting! Our wedding day was so perfect and a lot of that had to do with Scott! Our ceremony and reception flowed effortlessly and Scott played all the right music for our guests. We literally danced the night away!!!! We had a variety of ages like most weddings do and Scott hit it out of the park with his ability to appeal to the masses. We were also touched by the fact that Scott placed both of our names in Scrabble pieces on tile holders at his DJ table. We had briefly mentioned we had just finished playing Scrabble before our phone interview with Scott a few months before the wedding and he saved that little tidbit of knowledge and surprised us at our wedding. His thoughtfulness and attention to detail plus the fact that you will be dancing all night long make Scott the best DJ for a Bay Area/Santa Cruz County wedding. We are so dearly grateful for his assistance in making our wedding day so special!

as. His DJ skills and expertise were flawless on our wedding day but we were especially grateful for the assistance he provided leading up to the event. Scott provided us with a wonderful wedding coordination packet that helped us plan our music selections from the beginning of the ceremony to the last dance. His extensive music catalogue and understanding of our special requests made for an amazing event. Scott was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him for your DJ needs.
Scott was absolutely amazing! He made the entire process so easy and smooth. He was very organized and made sure me and my wife knew exactly what to do and how the order of events ...
go. I would send him an email and within minutes I would get a response. He made the whole process stress free and we never had to worry about how things were going to go. He is so friendly and overall a very genuine guy, it almost felt like we had known him for years. On our wedding day everything went off without a hitch and he was very flexible with our slight changes to the schedule the day of. His pricing was very reasonable and he played most all of the songs we had requested. We could not have asked for a more perfect DJ and will recommend him ten times over.

We had a wonderful experience in working with Scott for our wedding. Scott brought a great professional attitude, was very responsive, and had wonderful suggestions to help guide ...
us through the best song choices for our ceremony & reception. His quick responses and communication put us at ease.
On our wedding day, Scott arrived to the venue early to setup gear and worked diligently throughout the evening to ensure everything went without hitch or worry. He also worked very well with our wedding coordinators, proactively checking with them throughout the night to ensure everyone was in alignment.
Our guests mentioned they loved the song selection and variety as well. We requested a few songs that weren't originally on his list, and he acquired them without hesitation for our big day.
Scott's fantastic - we can't say enough good things!
Scott was very attentive in listening to all of our requests. He kept the timing in place and the music flowing. We had some indie rock music that he was able to put in to the flow...
