Showcase DJ

(My husband wrote this) It pains me that we took so long to write this review for showcase DJ. We had our wedding in January. We were very stressed out about how to chose a DJ. Do we ask for a sample? Do we crash some weddings? Luckily I have an amazing wife that was clever enough to find showcase DJ. Steven was the main reason our wedding was as fun as it was. I’ve been to a lot of weddings where the dance floor gets hot, then cold, then warm. I’m not bias when I say that the dance floor at our wedding was crowded all night! Steven got our vibe perfectly from his easy to use software that allowed us to add all the songs we wanted played. He even had an option for songs NOT to play.... hell no YMCA or chicken dance! It also kept us organized as he had separate sections for us to add songs for the father/daughter dance and other specific moments for the reception. I can’t recommend Steven enough. He was very well organized, attentive and talented. He truly made our wedding a night to remember.

Steve is the best! He listens to exactly what you want, and is always professional and helpful. He always responded to my emails quickly, even to the most mundane questions I had for him. My fiance was very particular about the uplighting for our wedding, and Steve nailed it! We also booked our photo booth with Steve, and my guests loved it. Extra bonus, we had our photo booth pictures the next day, and were able to look at them on our way to our honeymoon!

Steve was an awesome DJ! He walked us through exactly what to expect and was incredibly helpful. It’s awesome being able to choose what songs you want (and don’t want) and you can even see what other people chose as well. I brought a GoPro and he was taking videos while playing music and even took some in his phone that he shared later. All in all, Steve was a pleasure to work with and we’ve recommended him to many of our friends.

Steve was totally fantastic! He did such a great job for both my ceremony and reception. He really was very active throughout my wedding making sure we were OK and on track. He also took great cues from the dance floor and really knew what songs to play and at which times. It kept our guests dancing the whole time. His pricing was great and he was easily available to talk to, even with ideas that we figured out the day before the wedding. I would recommend him to any brides out there.

Steve did an amazing job at our wedding and my new wife and I couldn't have been more grateful. He played a lot of the requested music at the right times. Beyond that he was very helpful during the wedding itself. We have nothing but kind words for Steve. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends and family.

Steve is your DJ. This guy knows what he is doing! After my husband and I met with him for the first time we were like, Yup! He's our guy! Steve is professional, outgoing, honest, on time, and so helpful. He is felixible when it comes to contact and communication and just knows music! If you need a DJ that you won't have to worry about, he is your guy. Thank you for the most magical wedding!

Steve is GREAT! we had a mess-up with a previous dj and came across Steve at a wedding a couple months before our wedding and he killed it! such a great job! the night was perfect and we got so many compliments of the soundtrack and music everyone loved it!

Steve did an amazing job at our wedding! He is very organized and worked well with our musical tastes. He has exceptional tools in place in order to plan the order of events and put in place the corresponding tunes. I had several guests tell me how good the music was! He not only did a great job at the reception, he also nailed it as master of ceremonies. He subtly incorporated music throughout the ceremony that was both a surprise and yet perfect at the same time. He even calmed down my mom while she was getting all worked up about doing the bustle on my dress! All in all it was a great experience having Steve as the DJ at our wedding.

Steve was fantastic! I can not imagine a better MC for our special day! Honestly we got excellent feedback from our guests about what a blast they had, and that they did not want to leave the dance floor. We were so pleased. Our day was perfect. More than I could of asked for. Thank you Steve!!

Steve was amazing and my wedding was a huge hit, if I do say so myself! His wedding planning tools are awesome and I was able to plan out my day and music exactly as I wanted, even with a last minute mariachi surprise! We had a great party and I cannot recommend Steve enough.

Steve was so awesome! He really took what we wanted and made it happen and more! The dance floor was packed the whole night! He is very professional and wonderful to work with. He even mixed a special song for the father/daughter dance for us. The whole process from start to finish was a breeze and we highly recommend him! He played a big role in making our special day flawless!

Steve was AMAZING! Everything about working with him was simple, fun and relaxed. Great night dancing away with ZERO mess-ups.He made all the ceremony and first dance music flow so well. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!

Steve is professional at all times and does a great job. We gave him way too many dance songs :) and he knew how to play the right ones and keep the crowd on the dance floor at the end of the night. He's super chill too and made us feel at ease on the big day.

Working with Steve was SO EASY. From our first conversation I felt totally solid with his ability to provide our wedding guests with a fun evening. The planning tools on his website were easy to use, thorough and made everything simple. There were a few key songs we wanted to have played during cocktails and dinner and I'm positive we heard them all. During our final consult, I told Steve that I didn't care what music he played during the reception as long as people were dancing and having fun. Boy did he deliver!! Every time I was on or near the dance floor, he was playing a great song and people were dancing. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to provide a fun environment for the guests.

Our wedding day DJ Steve Sievers was awesome! Very professional and played the all music we requested. Thank you for your patience with the two year old that tried to assist you. We can't thank you enough for making our day great! We will recommend you to all we know. THANK YOU!

Showcase DJ was one of the very first vendors we booked when planning our vendor last year. He was recommended by our wedding venue, the Hacienda in Santa Ana. We were excited to book with Steve because he had already DJed at our venue before, his prices were reasonable, and he was super nice when we Skyped with him! He helped walk us through the entire day, and explained all the tools on his website, including recommendations for songs by event (i.e., first dance, bouquet toss, etc) and a playlist creator. On the day of our wedding, Steve was excellent with communication and continued to check in on us before every major event. Kudos to Steve for even helping me find a few Chinese songs to play during our Tea Ceremony and being the best MC ever, including announcing our nephew's birthday! Although we didn't fill up our playlist with tons of songs, Steve was excellent at figuring out our style and filled in the gaps. All of our guests loved the music and danced so much! We would highly recommend to anyone.

Steve was very professional and kept our wedding running smoothly. He kept the party going and got people dancing. I would recommend him to anyone !

Steve was absolutely great to work with. He (and the tools on his website) made it incredibly easy to customize our playlists and song requests, and he even went out of his way to make sure he had certain versions of songs and a few random and quirky ones we really wanted. He also had great up-lighting packages and helped us find the perfect color to compliment our theme. My favorite part was how personalized and professional he was, meeting with us in his office to make sure we were comfortable that he had a good understanding of what we wanted and to go through all of our options together. When it came to the big night, he kept everyone dancing and the party going smoothly. Everyone we've talked to said they had a blast, and a party just isn't a party without good music!

Steve is hands down a fabulous DJ and MC. We worked with him for our wedding ceremony and reception, and he truly made the whole process seamless and easy. He is extremely professional and his website makes the planning process go so smoothly. He was excellent with following up on every detail up to the big day. And then the big day came, and he helped to make it a beautiful, memorable and super fun night! Not only did my new husband and I have the night of our lives, but all of our guests had nothing but compliments on the overall sound, music selection and dance lighting. I would highly recommend Steve with Showcase DJ for your wedding or any other event!

Steve was great to work with. He was very flexible working with our schedule for meetings. He replied to emails quickly and answered every question we had. His website for making a playlist was easy to work with and made it easy for my wife and I to put together the songs we wanted. Steve was very professional the day of our wedding. He was setup on time and ready to go. He kept the flow of events moving and the mood light and fun. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking for a DJ.

DJ Steve is awesome and we highly recommend! He is very responsive, and has a great online program making it easy to load your playlists. Our guests had the best time dancing and it's thanks to Steve!

Steve was such an amazing part of our big day - we're so grateful we took my big sister's recommendation (he rocked her wedding too) and asked him to be a part of our wedding. Because that's really how it feels with Steve - he's with you every step of the way. He took the time to come out and meet with us in person to get an idea of how we wanted the day to go, and to get to know us as people. He guided us through the selection process (his music portal is so easy to use even I could do it), and checked in with us throughout to make sure we had everything ready. He did the photo booth for us too - which was such an awesome source of entertainment for our guests. It had a line most of the night and our guests were so excited to have keepsakes they could print and email themselves. The price was so reasonable - we did the photo booth instead of wedding favors and I think we came out ahead. I know our guests felt like they did. Steve is a thoughtful, experienced, and awesome DJ who can help guide your entire ceremony along. He's so experienced in weddings he can offer a lot of helpful advice on other pieces of the day such as your timeline as well. Since I self-coordinated my wedding, I really appreciated and relied on Steve as well as my photographer to make sure the day went well. Long story short - book Steve for your big day. He'll make it awesome. Diane Giulioni Recent Bride, Happy Customer!

Steve was really great. I had been to a wedding in which he DJ'd and that's how we knew about him. From the very first time we met him, it was such an easy choice to go with him. The communication before the wedding was so easy and his online program to organize all the music was exactly what we needed to know we were going to hear what we wanted on our big night. His product and service all around was great. He made sure our outdoor ceremony had the sound it required and then did a great job with the ceremony as well. My wife and I feel like we got tremendous value for our money and he is competitively priced. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Sievers and his company and I highly recommend you contact him if you are in the market.

If you want to skip the details below, just know that STEVE IS AWESOME!! Definitely hire him and you won't be disappointed. He is totally self sufficient, he shows up on time, quietly and quickly sets up, does a FANTASTIC job, and wraps up quietly and quickly at the end of the event. No surprises, just awesome service for a really, really good price. The thing I appreciated the most about Steve's service, other than the fact that he did an awesome job of playing great music to keep our guests happy, is that I didn't have to do anything in terms of telling him what to do. He's a pro, and you can believe he will do it right even if you don't have specific instructions for him. I could not be happier with the service he provided. Really professional, really great music choices, and he just all around kicked butt for us on our big day. Additional details: My wife and I spent a lot of time speaking with different DJs and MCs for our wedding in August. After dealing with a few shady characters, it was really great to finally find Steve. I initially planned to send him a list of all the songs I like and to go over all the details of what we wanted, but my girl and I just couldn't find the time to do that. So, on the day of the wedding, I told Steve some basic information about what genres we like and don't like, and from that 30 second conversation, he was able to pick back to back great songs all night. He also has a website that really lets you customize every aspect of his services from planning your timeline to picking exactly which songs you do or don't want. His sight actually makes it easier to plan your wedding because it has all kinds of features that give you an idea of how to schedule things along with recommendations for music for any given part of the wedding.

Steve is AMAZING at what he does! We couldn't have been more thrilled to have him as our DJ/MC! Our wedding was in the morning, starting at 11am, and Steve arrived super early (dressed to impress), got everything set up and had music playing before our guests arrived! Even before the big day, he asked to meet with us so that we could go over every detail, including the timeline, to ensure that everything went smoothly... and it did! During the entire planning process, whenever we had any questions regarding music, the timeline, and pretty much anything else, we would contact Steve and get an almost immediate response back! He's been in this business for a while and it shows through his professionalism and knowledge. His website is also user-friendly and packed with tons of resources and information that made it extremely easy for us! He also worked extremely well with the photographer and videographer during the wedding to make sure that everyone was on the same page. He'd also check in with us and let us know when the bouquet toss was going to happen, the cutting of the cake..etc, to make sure that WE were ready. We've been raving about Steve to our soon-to-be-married friends and we'll continue to recommend him! He's honestly the best in the business; you really don't have to look any further than Steve!!

Steve was fan-freakin-tastic! My husband and I were beyond happy with him as our DJ/MC. He was so easy to work with, always responded to emails and texts, and took the time to meet with us and discuss everything we wanted and needed. He was laid back, easy going, and easy to talk to. A few days before to our wedding, he set up a time with us to call and we went over all the details and confirmed songs and timeline. Honestly, it was so nice to just feel completely comfortable and confident with our DJ. I have heard from so many guests, young and old!, how awesome our DJ was! Seriously! He kept the dance floor full, the party going, and played great music all night! Tons of fun! Our friends are getting married next year and they asked us for his contact info. Definitely highly recommend Steve! Thanks again Steve! You rock! :) ~ Pete and Erica

We used Steve as our DJ for our wedding 3/18/16. I have known Steve for many years and did not hesitate to call him for his DJ services once I got engaged. Not only have I seen his popularity over the past number of years, I know that he is reliable and honest. His website was very user-friendly. His wedding planning and request forms were very useful for my husband and me. His forms helped provide organization for the night and the wedding coordinator appreciated using his forms for her reference as well. The day of the wedding, Steve arrived on time, dressed professionally and got his equipment set up quickly. It helps that Steve is familiar with so many local venues! He used lapel mics on the the officiant and my husband and then provided a hand-held mic for a family member who was going to say a blessing during the ceremony. All the mics worked well and we experienced no sound issue. Using lapel mics also allowed for mic free and mic stand free photos during our ceremony. Steve understands that no one wants to be photographed with a mic stand between you while saying your vows! Steve was on-point all night long with the music. There were no breaks in music, no errors and he was able to feel out the flow of the night and keep people on the dance floor. All our guests were commenting on how great he was! It is a bonus that we got all of the wedding songs played sent to us and I was able to download them and also make a CD so I can remember the music from that night and listen to it anytime! We couldn't recommend Steve more for any service you need him for! He is fun, honest, reliable, professional, down to earth and just "gets it!" Jennifer and Isaac C.

Can't recommend Showcase DJ and Steve enough! Steve went above and beyond to help shape our wedding in the perfect night! I think having the right DJ and music is important, because it can set the tone for the whole night. He was so easy going and friendly I knew just from a short phone conversation I didn't want to look any further. (I'd had a pretty odd meeting with another DJ and one that was completely unresponsive.) I could tell he was very laid back, which was just what we wanted. The others all pushed things that we completely did not want to do, and one straight up told me they wouldn't play our music because other people wouldn't enjoy it..(we weren't playing anything crazy..) We didn't want to do a lot of the traditional wedding stuff, just wanted good music and for everyone to have a good time. We are kind of picky with our music, we don't like a lot of top 10 stuff.. but Steve went and found all of our requested songs. His online tools made it super super easy to pick out all the songs you wanted and enter in all the info he'd need for the night. We also booked our photo booth through him and everyone had a great time using it. There was a separate person overseeing that to make sure it ran well. He was hilarious too. Lots of props and it was great how you received prints for every person in the photo, and there was an option to upload it to social media immediately. Steve definitely help keep things running smoothly all night and we really appreciate it. Overall, I believe his rate was slightly higher than what others quoted but it was 1000% worth paying a little bit more to have someone we were completely comfortable with than some of the other I spoke with. Worth every penny!

Great DJ! and awesome photobooth! Steve made things easy! fun! and affordable! it was a no brainer to choose showcase dj to host our wedding.

Steve was amazing to work with for our wedding! His calm manor, the large amount of knowledge he has about wedding intricacies, not to mention the obvious plethora of knowledge he has about music, all were very calming during a period of time that has many moving parts – planning our wedding. He was always available to answer any questions we had and was open when the plan had to change unexpectedly. In addition, his web site is so very helpful! It allows you to choose and listen to your music! And then he gives you the option to send any music in list form too! So great to be able to have “our own personal sound” for our event! And amazingly, he was able to play every song on our playlist! Wow. Everyone loved him and had a fantastic time. People were dancing during our entire reception to the very end. No empty dance floor here! That just says it all. Thank you, Steve, for helping us create the fun and personal sound for our special day. You are very appreciated!

We had an amazing night, as did all of our friends and family. Kurtis was great ... and kept the energy up all night. He was funny, upbeat, energetic, and never cheesy or inappropriate. He was also very accommodating with our playlist, and stuck to our list like we wanted. Our friends said they never had as much fun at a wedding as they did at ours, and they didn't want the night of dancing to end! Just a little something to show our appreciation for a job well done! Thanks!

Steve was recommended by our day-of coordinator, and I’m so glad we found him. Steve was so accommodating from our first meeting. He got to know us and our needs, and sent us to his website, which makes everything so easy. We were able to pick all our requested music in advance, and categorize it by our events (e.g. pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dancing). We were even able to add a do not play list. He ran the music for our ceremony and even though the party walked slower during the ceremony than the rehearsal and the song ended early, he mixed/extended the song without a hitch, so no one even noticed. During the reception, he was a phenomenal MC with the perfect presence when he needed to get people’s attention, without trying to steal the show. He kept the dance floor rocking all night long and was really able to read the room. He made all our requests happen and still managed to take requests from our guests. We also hired him for dance floor lighting and uplighting, all of which looked gorgeous. Look no further- Hire Steve immediately!

Steve was a great DJ! He played only the songs we asked for, was an awesome emcee, and called us ahead of time to make sure he could pronounce everyone's names properly. He was flexible and responsive to our requests - adding a projector to our package at the last minute so we could show videos at our wedding. The lighting was beautiful and Steve had good timing playing songs that got everyone dancing. I would highly recommend him for your wedding!

My wedding was on April 6, 2013. It was a wonderful day that got better with the wonderful DJ. Steve was our DJ & he was so nice. He was calm & collect. Even when we changed the timeline around on the day of the wedding, he was calm & accommodated the changes without a glitch. He had a great online tools to select your music which was very easy & convenient. He paid attention to the what got the guests to dance and played music to keep the party going. I would highly recommend Showcase DJ.

He really helped us pick out songs that worked well, and had an easy website that allowed us to say who and how we wanted stuff introduced. Very nice and easy to work with, helped make the day magical.

We originally went with Steve because he was referred to us and we saw his high reviews online. Comparing his response to other DJ's regarding our original inquiry, we quickly saw for ourselves how professional and helpful he was. Throughout the entire process he was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive, was always there to help with questions. He was very flexible, when we needed to move up our wedding time a half our early, he had no problem making the adjustments. He called us a week before the wedding to make sure he had the correct versions of the songs we requested as well as the correct pronunciation of names. The Showcase DJ website was great, we were able to choose the songs we wanted played as well as make a list of songs we did not want played. During the wedding he was amazing! Kept the party moving, making sure there was no long down times. He made sure everyone had a great time! I would recommend him to anyone, we had an amazing wedding and a lot was due to Steve!

Steve did an amazing job at our wedding. He was attentive and so easy to work with! He kept the mood of our day uplifted and celebratory! I would hire him again in an instant! All of our guests loved him! His website made it so easy to make sure we got all the songs we wanted and the timeline perfect. Steve was so flexible and easy going. He attend to our last minute requests with poise and with an easy-going, attentive attitude. He had all the extra fixings to make our day extra perfect! Thank you!

teve was great from beginning to end! His website made it so easy to choose which songs we wanted/did not want played at the wedding. He gave us great suggestions regarding song-specific activities such as the cake-cutting, entrance song, bouquet toss, etc. He is highly personable and kept people on the dance floor all night. I've gotten multiple comments from guests saying what a great time they had and what a great job he did. I would highly recommend his company and him in particular. Thanks so much Steve!

Steve from Showcase DJ was amazing! He was a referral from my friend and I am so glad I listened to her! He is super easy to work with, affordable and was great the day of. His online database was easy to use and allowed me to put the songs we wanted to play along with special songs like the first dance so that was all taken care of online prior to the event. He understand the kind of music we wanted to play and he kept to that. He was not overbearing or attention seeking like most DJ's. My guests kept commenting how amazing the music was and everyone was on the floor dancing. I highly recommend Showcase DJ to any bride-to-be!

DJ Steve made my wedding flow so well and the dance music he played was perfect! I would definitely recommend him.

Steve at Showcase DJ was on the approved DJ list for our venue. We met with him and liked him immediately. Very nice, easy going guy, we knew he would be the right person for our wedding. He has a bunch of great online tools to help build your timeline and song lists. Which was very helpful. We originally thought we didn't really need a DJ, that we'd prefer to just pick our own songs catered more towards us and our guests. But we are really thankful we hired Steve. There is a lot more that goes into it than we knew and it was nice to have him there to make suggestions, announce things and keep everything flowing smoothly. And we were still able to build the song list tailored to what we wanted for most of the evening and have him fill in the rest where we were lacking.(He even found songs we wanted that he didn't already have). The evening went so great and had such a fun, lively atmosphere. Exactly what we wanted, a party. :)

Steve was amazing as the D.J. for our wedding. His online tools allowed us to have a country only cocktail hour and a whole playlist planned for the reception. He has a gift with being able to read the audience and cater to what will keep the people out of the dance floor. I still get comments that ours was the first wedding people say the chairs empty and the dance floor packed, in a long time.

He was awesome! He listened to what we wanted and delivered on his promises. Everyone had a great time. We will definately recommend him to friends and family!

We gave Steve a list of songs that we wanted throughout our reception, and using that, he filled in the blanks perfectly. He found the perfect mix of music for our tastes without us having to give him every single song to play. He even checked in with us throughout the day to make sure that we were taken care of.

Steve was so easy to work with and was such a great DJ! I was very particular about what songs I wanted at our wedding. I cared more about this aspect of our wedding than almost anything else. Steve played all our songs and did a great job of mixing in others that our guests loved. We were all dancing until it was time to leave! It was awesome to work with someone so easygoing, yet professional and who listened to us.

Steve Sievers with Showcase DJ was fantastic! We hired him after our initial DJ company went missing in action and had incredibly poor customer service (they also took our deposit and ran!). Our wedding was down on the sand at Salt Creek Beach and Steve and team were more than prepared for the venue. Our music was beautiful, and the evening went off without a hitch! Would definitely recommend Steve to anyone as a trustworthy, reliable, professional DJ and overall nice guy.

Great DJ service! Would and have recommended to family and friends. Will definitely use again.

Steve Sievers was the DJ at my wedding and It couldn't have been better! He was extremely patient, understood exactly what I wanted, very professional, familiar with the location and its requirements, works with quality equipment, on time and affordable for the quality of work. I would definitely recommend Showcase DJ's services to a friend!

Steve was our DJ and we could not have been happier. He is energetic, without being cheesy or obnoxious. Our venue had ridiculous noise restrictions and he did everything he could to work around that and helped us out so much (: We had some obscure requests for songs and he got entire albums of the artists we were looking for to play during our cocktail hour.
