Dennis is truly an expert in his work. We only met with Dennis a couple of times before our wedding day, but Dennis took plenty of time at each appointment to nail down the music l...
ist and preferences we had for the big day. He was professional and a pleasure to work with leading up to and the day of the wedding. He definitely knew how to feel the dance floor to keep the party going. For cocktail hour and dinner, he stuck to an outline of our planned music, but was also able to use his own expertise to make it a great night once the dancing started. Thank you Dennis!
My husband and I knew that the best way to bring our families together for our wedding day was through music and dance. My husband's family loves country and pop music. My family l...
ikes Spanish and Persian music. We both like reggae. It was an impossible mix to put together... But DJ Dennis Jones did an amazing job!!! Everyone at our wedding loved the music and the variety! Dennis was easy to contact and communicate with; our meetings were very useful; we meet on Skype initially and then in person the days before the wedding; he was very friendly and fun to work with; his knowledge of his profession completely influenced our wedding; he must have spent hours putting together these different styles of music for it to come out and transition so smoothly. Our wedding planner suggested Dennis and it was definitely the best wedding decision we made. The cost was very affordable and the value of the service he provided was beyond our expectations. All of our guest raved about the how fun the music and dancing was all night. The dancing and music was what really brought our wedding together. Thank you so much Dennis! We appreciate all the work you did for our wedding and truly it was an unforgettable night!
Dennis you are amazing, truly an artistic genius with a knack of understanding a crowd and creating the most exciting and electric atmosphere. When we met Dennis we knew right away...
the passion and love he has for his profession is above and beyond. His dedication and creative abilities truly brings your wedding to life. Dennis was extremely easy to get in touch with and I always received a response right away. When we met with Dennis the ease of collaborating and the time he took to just get to know my husband and I meant so much. Dennis developed a plan to make our wedding a dream come true, he established a step by step timeline that fit everything we wanted. When it came time to establish a playlist Dennis helped me tremendously pick music that would appeal to all our family and friends. He observed the crowd and understood what songs made everyone get up and dance. Our family and friends danced the night away! Dennis created the BEST monogram for us, he added a special touch to our monogram in remembrance of how our journey began. It was so meaningful to us, it made us speechless. Our family and friends were amazed by the detailing. When it came to our dances, Dennis’s visionary skills are unparalleled, he uniquely designed each song so it would last the appropriate time and have the meaningful parts of the song played while we were dancing, the tempo was perfect and timing excellent. Dennis was extremely organized and on point during the entire wedding. Dennis was quick to take initiative and helped us pull off a spontaneous money dance perfectly. Dennis’s emceeing was beyond fun and uplifting. We have received countless compliments from our family and friends of how incredible Dennis was. Simply stated Dennis made our vision for our wedding a reality. He was with us every step of the way, the value he provided was above and beyond everything we would have hoped for. Dennis is the only one I would refer and I highly recommend him!
Dennis kept the dance floor packed all night! If you want great music, fun times, and a well choreographed celebration, then hire the Creative Music DJ! Dennis was very thorough, ...
knowledgeable, and had great music selections. We weren't sure the exact type of music we wanted for our wedding, and Dennis walked us through having different playlists for each part of the day. His music selection was absolutely perfect and he was able to read the room and play the right songs all night. We had a total blast at our wedding and Dennis provided bespoke, personalized playlists. He was very flexible, responsive, and fun to work with. He even helped us edit specific songs for our first dances to make them just right. We greatly appreciate the personalized service that Dennis provided. We highly recommend Dennis for any of your music needs.
My husband and I were searching for a DJ for our wedding and were a little worried because his family is Indian and most of my family had never heard an Indian song in their life.....
so we needed to find the perfect balance to make sure everyone enjoyed the dance floor. We found Dennis during our search and saw he had 5 star rating on yelp so we decided to reach out. He responded promptly and sent us samples of wedding he had done in the past. We met 2-3 times to sample his lighting options and give examples of the music we wanted to hear at our wedding. He also gave us a handout and song ideas/suggestions for each part of the ceremony events and reception festivities which was extremely helpful! Dennis made every moment so special as all of our requests came to life. The dance floor was flooded the entire night until we were kicked out of the venue. I noticed he did a great job of reading the crowd knowing if they were feeling the moment or if it was time for a change of pace, he was able to smoothly transition from Indian to hip/hop and top hits and even played the classics in the earlier hours and turned up the younger crowd as the night went on. The music and lighting he provided made our wedding what it was. I would recommend him over and over!
Dennis is great at his job. He has enthusiasm for his work. He's a good planner and takes the time to find out what you want. He will also save you from yourself if you let him. ...
My wedding and reception were super fun and Dennis was largely responsible for the fun at the same time being subtle and unobtrusive. He was able to improvise on the fly to keep the reception flowing seemingly without a hitch. The dance floor was crowded almost the whole time. My guests were literally singing and dancing in the parking lot on their way to their cars. Although I happened to be the best groom that ever was Dennis made me seem better.
Dennis should get 1,000 stars! Our dance floor was packed all night. We kept getting comments from guests saying how they have never seen a DJ at a wedding work a room as good as h...
e did. We're so lucky to have found Dennis Jones. He is clearly passionate about his work and is very articulate and detailed throughout the planning process which I really appreciated. And he was super nice and easy to work with. Look no further, this is your guy.
Dennis did an excellent job at our wedding. He kept the flow going and guests entertained. He had to improvise during our anniversary dance and never missed a beat. It was a memor...
able moment and one of my favorite memories of the reception.
At the last minute, he assisted with extra lighting since our ceremony took place after the sun went down. The venue didn't have sufficient lighting.
Dennis also put together a beautiful video montage which was a surprise to my groom and the guests. It was wonderful and another fantastic memory of our wedding.
Dennis was easy to work with and you will not be disappointed if you select him! He went out of his way to make our wedding special and we are still getting compliments from our guests. Great DJ!
We chose DJ Dennis J as the DJ for our wedding, and we were really happy that we did. Dennis went above and beyond to deliver an awesome performance for our big day! We planned a...
surprise hip-hop rap/singing medley to perform for our guests. Dennis put in a lot of extra work in the months leading up to the wedding to iterate on the mix with us and get it right. When we broached the idea with Dennis, he was immediately excited to work with us on it, and put in a lot of time into it without charging us for the extra effort. He's the type of guy that truly cares about his craft and his clients, and will do what it takes to deliver. Dennis also knocked it out of the park on all of the more standard DJ items - solid musical selection, good with crowd control/event management, and a just a friendly guy to work with. We highly, highly recommend him!
Dennis was a fantastic addition to our night! When we were looking for vendors we purposefully wanted to find individuals who had great energy and a passion for what they do. Denni...
s hit both of these check boxes! He was very attentive to our needs and would provide intelligent and experienced feedback. The lighting he designed was beautiful and really encompassed everything we dreamt of. He is also able to gauge the crowd and keep the dance party raging all night!! Thank you Dennis for being an awesome DJ! You go above and beyond for your clients!! We are grateful!!
Dennis is the best! His engineering background and knowledge of all music genres is impressive! I have had the honor to work with Dennis as a wedding planner, and am so thankful ...
for his talent, skill, communication and passion to truly make his clients happy! He is a dream to work with and will not disappoint! Thank you for your excellence! Looking forward to working many more amazing weddingstory together!
Dennis was the DJ at a wedding I attended last year. He was able to read the crowd and adjust the musical environment accordingly all night long. An amazing artist and a rare gem. ...
I would highly recommend Dennis for your next event. Even the elderly people at your event will be up and on the floor!
I was a guest at quinceanera where Dennis was the DJ and emcee. The dance floor was packed to the very end of the event so I recommended his services to my newly engaged friend. Bo...
th my friend and her husband to be, were impressed with his professionalism and music knowledge. Their wedding reception was amazing. Dennis easily navigated their music selections and read the wedding crowd’s musical preferences and kept everyone dancing the entire night. Everyone still talks about their wedding as being the event of the year!! My friend was beyond happy with Dennis. I routinely recommend his services with confidence because I am confident that the end result will be nothing short of amazing!
Had our destination wedding in San Diego. Was so lucky to have found Dennis. He was so attentive and knowledgeable and blended our musical interests. Additionally, although we wer...
e paying for a wedding coordinator, it was really Dennis who kept everything rolling and organized.
Don't just take my word for it, interview Dennis to be your wedding DJ and you'll see you need to look no further.
We couldn't have had a better DJ! Dennis' knowledge of music is so vast and he had some great suggestions that were perfect! He could not have been better!
I interviewed Dennis to be the DJ for our wedding and although we did not end up hiring him, he was the best DJ I interviewed out of 5! Ok now I have confused you haha, my husband ...
is from another country so we ended up choosing a bilingual DJ so that my mother-in-law (who does not speak English), could know what was going on during the reception. We last min decided that we needed a bilingual DJ, and let me tell you, Dennis made that decision even more tough, bc he was great. We were initially going to meet at a starbucks for the consultation but apparently it was closed for a remodel! He was quick on his feet and suggested another coffee shop near by. He arrived early to the appointment so he knew the place was closed and took the initiative to find another place close by before I even got there. It was at that moment that I knew he was not only proactive, but professional, and also adaptable :) We went to the Coffee Bean and he asked about our taste in music and what we envisioned and wanted - he then had his laptop ready to show me his very impressive collection of tunes and went over artists that were spot on. He is a seasoned DJ and that was apparent. We would have hired him if we didn't end up going the bilingual route for the hub's side of the fam. I would recommend this DJ to everyone with confidence that they will be very happy. Remember a DJ can make or break a wedding, that is why I ended up interviewing more DJs than any other vendor! Dennis will not disappoint!!! :)
Dennis was absolutely awesome! His musical knowledge and expertise were just what we were looking for to make our wedding the Best. Day. Ever! He kept the dance floor packed all ni...
ght long, and we heard over and over from our guests how terrific they thought our DJ was. Thank you Dennis for making our celebration epic!
If your on the fence about contacting Dennis....call him now and book him NOW!
He's easy to work with, has a huge selection of songs and has amazing skillz. Would I recommend him? ...

DJ Dennis was amazing, incredible, every possible word to describe the best! I had so many guests tell me how perfect the music was and how professional and responsive he was. Di...
rect quote: "I requested a song and he played it right away! DJs never do that!" Hands down the best money spent. He is so good at what he does so go with what he recommends and take his advice. His worksheet before is so helpful and really gets you ready for the big day. We had him do our ceremony and sound--flawless. DJ Dennis is hands down the best wedding DJ I have heard (and not just because it was my wedding...others echoed that sentiment). Do not look any further!!
We recently got married at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego and had the pleasure of having Dj Dennis a part of our special day. He did a fantastic job helping us pick the ceremon...
y songs and reception entrance songs. We had a hard time deciding but he spent a lot of time showing us examples to help.
Dennis was extremely organized and was very passionate and fun to work with. The monogram he designed for our dance floor was amazing and added the perfect touch (we got so many compliments on it). He made sure to get all age groups engaged on the dance floor dancing the entire night.
Thank you for making our reception a blast for everyone!
Dennis Jones is the most knowledgable, professional, and talented DJ in Southern California! Our wedding was a month ago, and people are still talking about how it was the best dan...
ce party ever! I'm a total dance snob after years of dance training, so it was extremely important for our DJ to be awesome and mix the best dance tracks ever; Dennis Jones did it!! He is a total music nerd, and I mean that in the very best way! He knows his stuff! No cheesy wedding DJ with Dennis; he is a total professional. He uses high quality turntables, and will mix the tracks perfectly to fit your big day, and music style. Everyone song flows into the next song flawlessly. More importantly, he knows how to read the crowd, so there's never that awkward moment or song that no one is dancing too! He's super organized and will time your day perfectly! Everyone is still talking about our wedding, and how it was the best dance party ever! Plus, Dennis is just an all around great guy. My husband and I are so thankful we chose Dennis! The music for the entire day was perfect!!! Thanks Dennis!!
Dennis made the music planning part of our wedding stress-free, and made sure that our wedding was fun for everyone! Once I consulted with him about what we wanted, I knew he could...
take it from there. I trusted him to play the type of music we like and more importantly, to make sure everyone at our wedding had fun dancing. He gives great advice and is honest and straight-forward. He knows how to make your wedding fun and get people dancing. He is extremely professional, but he also feels like a friend. I highly recommend him!
We had Dennis DJ for our wedding in June. He is very professional, calm, polite, and extremely organized. He also did the music for our Hindu/Buddhist fusion ceremony beautifully...
. He coordinated with other vendors and transitioned through each part like a pro. He fused music for our entire day. He also kept people dancing the entire night. He got everybody, young and old, out on the floor. Thank you so much Dennis! Hire him... You will really be glad you did!
Dennis Jones exceed my wife and my expectations! Dennis took the time to understand our music style and incorporated everything we wanted into our wedding and more. He kept our gu...
ests entertained the entire night. He is very professional, respectful, accommodating, a great emcee and his sound equipment is state of the art. He made a custom GOBO for us that was amazing. The lighting he has is incredible and he even helped with audio/visual stuff when we needed it. I would recommend Dennis to anyone. If you don't want to worry about your night, leave the microphone and music to DJ Dennis Jones and have fun! Everyone who attended our wedding said it was the best they had been to in a long, long time and Dennis is a major reason why. Thanks Dennis!! John & Steph

d a blast and couldn't stop talking about how great a job Dennis did. He did such a great job on of our friends hired him to DJ their wedding, which he delivered yet again. If you are someone that loves music and wants a DJ that does to then Dennis Jones, The Creative Music DJ is the guy for you.

We didn't have a huge wedding, but the people who were there enjoyed the music and the dance floor. Based on Dennis's previous reviews, we knew we were dealing with a pro. He is ve...
ry thorough. He gives you a lot of information up front, then you fill out a worksheet which gets all the details and music you'd like to hear at your function. Dennis is truly there for your (the client's) benefit. He even gave us pointers and advice on certain hits related to planning. For any future occasions where we need a DJ, We definitely won't hesitate to contact Dennis again.
It's been nearly a year since our wedding and ppl still tell us what a great time they had, and as any wedding goes, the music/ambiance plays a huge role in that! Music selection i...
s key to any wedding. Dennis helped provide ideas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and the actual party itself. He paid attn to what we wanted and provided candid feedback to ensure we weren't off track.
Dennis was a true pro through and through, he went the extra yard and really paid attn to detail. We truly had a 5-star experience with him.
Dennis provided music, lighting, and emcee services for our recent wedding ceremony and reception and we were delighted with everything he brought to our special day! He met with u...
s in advance to get our input on every aspect, offered seasoned professional advice, and helped us plan the music and ambiance for the wedding day of our dreams. From ceremony seating to cocktail hour, and from dinner to the last dance, the music enhanced the mood and kept guests of all ages dancing the entire time. Guests are still talking about our wedding weeks later and we know they'll still be talking about it for years to come. We would absolutely use Dennis again for any event where we needed DJ, emcee, and/or lighting services. He's the best! Thank you, Dennis!
Dennis was a terrific DJ and MC! His style was exactly what we wanted. In terms of the MC, he was "non-cheesy," effective, and did a great job keeping us on schedule without us fee...
ling hurried at all.
We gave Dennis a lot of flexibility in terms of what music to play, with our goal to "keep people of all ages dancing," and Dennis absolutely delivered! We were really very happy to see people dancing the whole night. Not only young people, but Dennis was able to lure our older guests out onto the dance floor without losing the young guests. We had a number of people text us after the wedding to say how good the DJ was. Not only that, but he did manage to integrate nice personal touches into the playlist, something that is difficult to pull-off well, and was really impressive.
Moreover, he was flexible and accommodating and easily accommodated a wedding folk dance from Southern Europe!
So the music - amazing. The MC - really solid and great. We also had some uplighting, and that really added to the effect, really well done. All in all, Dennis was a fantastic DJ, he is super professional and organized, and he totally eliminated any stress in terms of organizing. His wedding prep sheet was quite helpful, do go through it in detail, and get it back to him early. If you can get Dennis as your DJ, you'll be lucky! -M & A, August 2015
Dennis was great. I thought we would meet him for a half hour and we'd be ready to go, but we had no idea how much went into being a DJ. Along with the coordinator, the DJ is the ...
emcee of the event, announcing toasts, first dances, etc. Dennis had a checklist for us to review for the wedding along with lists upon lists of recommendations for songs appropriate or used alot during weddings, which was SO HELPFUL! Dennis also went above and beyond by meeting us 45 minutes away at the resort we were getting married at to scout and help us with some lighting decisions. He's a great guy and it was neat to think that the coordinator I chose works with him at weddings all of the time which is a relief as they worked together so nicely. I would recommend Dennis, but was a little taken aback by the cost of the DJ (which is standard, just was surprised), but he was worthy every penny!
We were lucky to meet Dennis through our photographers and are so glad we trusted their referral! Dennis met with us from the very beginning and went through everything with us. It...
was so nice that he took that time and really made us feel like he cared. With all of his knowledge of music and friendly personality, we knew he would be a great DJ, and we were right! Dennis was spot on the entire night with the music that he choose. He did an amazing job and everyone had such a great time! We got many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had and how great the DJ was. We can't thank him enough for taking the time to get to know us and for such a great night!! We would recommend him a thousand times over!!
Dennis Jones is a true professional. He helped us along the way from day one getting music picked out. The dance floor at our wedding was packed from beginning to end. I would neve...
r hesitate to recommend him to anyone. We loved the music so much we asked him to stay an extra 30 minutes. Many guests complimented Dennis, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. BEST DANCE PARTY EVER thanks to Dennis.
I am very happy to give an amazing review for an outstanding DJ! I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but in this case I actually created a Yelp account for the sole r...
eason to compliment Dennis and make sure everyone knows they can be very confident about hiring him!
A good DJ is a key component to a fun and successful wedding. I admittedly did not understand how crucial their role was until you see a wedding (my twin sister's wedding) with a terrible, unenthusiastic DJ. It caused all kinds of stress and unhappy feelings, which every bride knows is the last thing they need! The point is, you don't have to worry at all with Dennis. there is A LOT of planning when it comes to a wedding, so make this your easy decision and get to planning the rest of it.
Dennis was very professional and prompt. My husband and I decided on a destination wedding in San Diego, so we had phone conversation meetings and they went very well due to his organization and experience.
My absolute favorite part of his work was how amazing he was at choosing the songs that would get everyone excited and on the dance floor! He sends you worksheets to help in planning the music throughout your wedding. One of the questions was, "How old are you?" and "How old is your partner?" Little did I know how important those questions were! He took the time and researched what songs were hit songs from back when we were in Jr. High/ High School/ College. It was so AWESOME!!! Seriously, my girlfriends and I would get so excited as we talked about the fact that we haven't heard these song in a while and how we use to love them! Most people know what that feels like, when they hear songs that bring them back to a specific good time, and that is exactly what it was. On top of that, my husband is hispanic with a BIG hispanic family and I forgot to mention that to Dennis. Therefore depriving him of any Latin music preparation time. Luckily he observed the crowd and took action. He played some hispanic music that got his family on the dance floor, it was so great! This is just one example of how equipped he is to provide a wonderful DJ experience. He is knowledgeable DJ with a background that allows him to be quick on his feet. All this equates to me and the rest of the guests just having a great time!
He is friendly with a great speaking voice and made sure to include all the songs I requested flawlessly. Long story short-- I highly recommend Dennis from "The Creative Music DJ!"
Thank you Dennis for everything.
Our wedding reception was EPIC thanks to Dennis! Our family and friends were on the dance floor all night long…it was great!!
Dennis was very easy to work with and is very know...
ledgeable about music and equipment. He gave us spectacular lighting, music, and was a great emcee. We have had nothing but positive feedback about our reception and we have Dennis to thank for that!
If you are simply looking for a "DJ" who will plug his lap top in and play music upon guests request than Dennis is not your guy. When my wife and I set out to look for our wedding...
DJ we wanted to make the music one of the focal points. Music has always been one of my passions, so I wanted someone who not only knew music but also knew weddings, and I must say Dennis did not disappoint.
Dennis met with us for over an hour to introduce himself and discuss our wedding and what he offers. We discussed music and we got to know eachother over a cup of coffee. He brought wedding timelines, ideas, music samples etc. and even brought my wife a little bachelorette gift. and this was all before we even decided on a DJ.Just based on his knowledge, organization, and professionalism we were sold instantly.
He is very organized and sets you up with an easy to use online account. You can log in whenever and go over your wedding timeline and set up your music to your liking. You can add songs from his drop down menu with ease and even request special songs that he may not have. The timeline actually served us great as it became almost like a coordinator on our big day. We decided to use him for our ceremony and reception.
Dennis met with us one more time prior to our wedding. This is where his expertise came into play. He suggested we change some of our playlists around so that the tempo of the music would cooordinate with the tempo of the wedding. He still played the music we chose but at the appropriate time (slower, softer music for cocktail hour and more upbeat during reception)so we made the necessary changes and it worked out beautifuly.
ON the day of our wedding Dennis did not disappoint. He was on point with every beat of the wedding. We got compliments from our first kiss,as the music played it almost felt unreal as if it were the ending of a movie, to our last dance. During our reception we all had a blast as most of my family loves to dance and dennis kept everyone moving throughout the night.
The only thing I can say I regret about the music that night, was that due to taking pictures I didnt get to hear alot of the music we chose. I was actually looking forward to listening to some of the suggestions Dennis had made during cocktail hour but I guess i had forgot that only guests get to enjoy that part of the wedding.
I hope this review will be helpful to anyone having trouble deciding on a DJ.I would recommend Dennis the creative music DJ to any family or friends. He is more than just a music player. He also works as a coordinator and his expertise go without saying. You will not be disappointed.
Dennis was a great DJ. He knows his music. Anyone who can figure out what song my mother is talking about knows his stuff!!! lol I thought i was totally confusing him because i cou...
ldn't really explain what kind of music i wanted to hear at my wedding but he understood me perfectly! I heard some of my favorite songs and songs i haven't heard in a while. I was on the dance floor all night long! I was hurting like crazy the next day but it was worth it!! the lighting was so beautiful, the ceremony music was perfectly faded out at the right time. Couldn't have asked for a better DJ. And he is the kindest and down to earth person you could ever meet! If you want a great and flawless Dj hire Dennis. You will not be disappointed!
DJ Dennis Jones was highly recommended by friends whose wedding he also DJ'd. After meeting with Dennis, it was clear that he knew exactly what he was doing and we had no doubt he...
would do an awesome job at our wedding. He has an impressive amount of knowledge about music and the DJ industry.
Dennis coordinated the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. My husband and I have different tastes in music and Dennis did a great job helping us find the perfect compromise. His planning worksheet is very thorough and definitely helped in the planning process. We had a pretty tight timeline to stick to and he was invaluable at helping keep everything on track. He read the crowd very well and had people of all ages on the dance floor. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they had. We also absolutely loved the photo montage Dennis put together for us - it was a special part of the reception that so many of our guests enjoyed as well. He went above and beyond and we cannot thank him enough for being a part of a very memorable day - he even stopped by our after party! We would not hesitate to recommend DJ Dennis Jones for any family or friends looking for a DJ.
Dennis was extremely professional, responsive, dependable, and fun! He spoke great on the mic and did an awesome job determining what music worked best for our guests consisting of...
mixed ages and cultures. We incorporated a variety of foreign songs that Dennis was happy to obtain and play. After the wedding, we received many compliments on the music played and all the dancing that was done-- Highly recommended!!
We love you Dennis! Thanks for being so helpful & honest with us throughout the whole wedding process. We really appreciate all your help. We definitely recommend using this Dj!!
I cannot say enough positive things about Dennis. He was absolutely incredible in more ways than one. From the initial meeting, he was professional, organized, and really made us f...
eel at ease. He was able to offer helpful tips about how to make a reception run smoothly and the type of music that works best for what we wanted.
During the actual wedding, he completely ran the show. He was more than just a DJ. He kept the wedding organized and made sure we stayed on schedule. His music was great and he kept the dance floor packed through the entire reception. He was also able to cater to every type of guest, from grandparents, to smaller children.
One of our favorite parts was the video montage he put together for us. It was so unique and personalized and so much more than your traditional slideshow. It was really personal and everybody loved it. Plus, we now have a keepsake of our entire life together. I would definitely recommend this feature.
He was such an essential part of our wedding and I know it would not have been nearly as perfect without it. I recommend him without reservation and suggest that everyone else do the same!
DJ Dennis was our DJ for our wedding this passed Saturday 07/13/13. His musical services went over and beyond what we expected! Dennis has much experience in being a DJ for weddi...
ngs, and it truly shows when he is playing his music. Our wedding was full of guests who were entertainers and performers, so it was a crowd that knew how to have a good time...if the music is right. And that night Dennis made sure the music was right. Our dance floor was pretty much packed the whole night. Not only that, we also had Dennis set up his computer-controlled uplighting (DMX) lighting which is lighting that changes according to the beats and the music. This was a great addition to the dance floor and added to the entertainment value of the night. We are so happy that Dennis were able to keep us, and our guests entertained the whole night. He was so good that at the end of the night, our guests were chanting "one more song! one more song!" But due to music restrictions he couldn't. They probably could have gone all night because the music was so good.
We mainly communicated through email, and he was very prompt in responding back. Dennis really makes sure to cater to his clients and their guests. And as for the value of his services, it is VERY reasonable. Comparing his services to other DJs, and his quality of services, he should be charging more. So his value is great for what you get in return. DJ Dennis really does know what he is doing, and has a wide range of knowledge in different genres of music. So if you are considering his services, I would highly recommend to book him!
We are so pleased and extremely satisfied with Dennis Jones. He sure lives up to the creative music DJ! Everything went so smooth. My guest were on the dance floor till the end and...
even chanting for one more song! Thank you so much Dennis for a memorable night to always look back and say we had the best DJ ever! I highly recommend you as a DJ....
Dennis DJ'd our wedding in June and I hate to use the word DJ because Dennis is much more than that. He is a master of ceremonies and Dennis is a true master of his profession. He ...
is definitely not the friend's friend you know who can MC your wedding for cheap and just runs through a playlist with barely a peep to get the crowd going.
From the start of our initial interview, I could tell right away that this was a person not only experienced with music but all the nuances involved with holding a wedding. He will run through each step of the ceremony from the bridal march to the entrance, reception, cake cutting etc. presenting several different options on what is the best type of music to play at each stage from current top 50 songs at weddings to listening to your requests and where to incorporate them on the big day. He'll even let you know why a music request you have may not be the best to play at certain times or point out words in the lyrics that may make it a downer at weddings - songs about breakups and cheating are a no no apparently. He even provides input on what dance floor lighting to use that is best for pictures. Some couples go for the crazy, cool dazzle effects that just look terrible in pictures hiding the subjects. His lighting was brilliant and gorgeous but also not so intrusive that it obscured guests in pictures.
For a couple that did not have a wedding planner and did not have an initial clue how to hold the ceremony and reception, Dennis was invaluable in helping us envision, coordinate and manage the wedding day with the right vibe. He knew just the right time to play certain types of music, when to lay low and when to get the crowd going. I was genuinely surprised that many family and friends whom I consider fairly conservative and low key were regulars on the dance floor.
And talk about a hard worker. He is a one man crew that with less than a couple hours set up sound systems at the ceremony site, the poolside area where we held our cocktail hour and in the reception area. He also set up an amazing light show on the dance floor. Everything looked and sounded awesome!
Finally Dennis is a great personality. He is one of the friendliest professionals I have had the pleasure to do business with. He never made us feel like we were just another weekend gig. Before the wedding I used to joke that no one remembers the good things about a wedding - only the bad. I will amend that a little and say that people remember a good DJ. Dennis was critical in making good memories that day and for the bride and I he is also a great part of that memory.
Dennis was the DJ at my wedding one week ago. He ROCKED it! Dennis is patient, professional, funny, and extremely helpful. It is clear he is passionate about music and this comes t...
hrough in his performance.
When we first met with Dennis he took as much time as we needed to go over the entire wedding timeline/process. The information could have been overwhelming but Dennis provided an easy to use worksheet, song suggestions, and a folder for us to put all our stuff in! Dennis took as much time with us as needed and I never felt rushed. My fiance is a huge music guy but Dennis kept checking in with me to ensure my musical tastes were also represented.
I remained in contact with Dennis throughout the wedding process. As the wedding date approached we met with Dennis again to go over everything. We did not have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator and Dennis did an excellent job of providing feedback and suggestions for our timeline. Again, I never felt rushed and Dennis took the time to explain everything...even some things multiple times since I was in a wedding "fog."
At the actual wedding, Dennis outperformed my expectations. He took the time and care to make sure everything ran smoothly. I felt completely confident in him. He even had a special surprise for us that really blew us away! The music was such a success. There were family members on the dance floor that I have NEVER seen dance in my life! My father-in-law and 80 year old grandma were even dancing! Dennis did a great job of playing music that represented my husband and I but also music that everyone could enjoy. He got the party rocking!
Overall, Dennis gets an A+. He is worth every penny! Going into the wedding I had no idea how vital the DJ is. Dennis kept track of timing, initiated events such as the parent dances, etc. The wedding would not have ran as smoothly without him! The next time I need a DJ I know who to call!
Creative Music DJ Dennis Jones was amazing! We got married on 1-19-13 and the day was perfect. One thing I will say is you get what you pay for. Dennis was honest right from the be...
ginning and was very thorough. Having a great DJ is one of the most important things when planning a wedding. When we were planning our wedding we interviewed various DJs. Dennis was the only one who took the time to get to know us. He fit our style and theme perfectly. There were people in our families that I have never seen dance before ever! The dance floor was packed the whole night. From the first dance to the last. Too bad we didn't have a bigger dance floor. I would 100% recommend Dennis to anyone planning a wedding. If you don't go with Creative music DJ you are for sure missing out. Thanks again Dennis you killed it!
Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful as all of you know. When it came down to finding a DJ, we sent out several emails to see who was available for our January 5, 2013 wed...
ding. We were getting married at Paradise Point in San Diego. We had several replies but when we received Dennis's email, we knew we had found our DJ. He responded with several links to weddings he had done in the past, samples of music he has done and all of his credentials. He had several questions for us about what we wanted and even had ideas of things we hadn't even thought about. From the first time we spoke with him, we knew our ceremony and reception was going to be amazing.........and they were.
We had Dennis do our ceremony music which turned out absolutely amazing. He helped us to lengthen music when we needed it longer for our entrance and you couldn't even tell it wasn't part of the song. We sent him what we wanted and he made sure it was perfect. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. The music was cued to perfection at just the right times during our procession, sand ceremony and recession.
The reception was at max energy the entire time. Our dance floor was never empty at all. Dennis knows how to keep everyone's attention on the bride and groom at all times. He is an amazing emcee. He has no problem going with the flow and makes everything run so smoothly. At the reception we had a custom dance in which he helped us with ideas for our music. He is amazing at mixing and splicing. It turned out to be great. Everyone is still talking about it. Our lighting (which he also supplies) was beautiful. He used uplighting and cake pinspotting in our colors of purple and aqua. It looked awesome in our pictures. I honestly couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. There was not one problem the whole night.
Dennis makes sure the music is high energy and never stops which keeps everyone entertained. Dennis is definitely the best in his field and a very talented entertainer. I highly recommend The Creative Music DJ for any events that you may need music for. He definitely gave our wedding the "wow" factor.
Dj Dennis was unbelievable, he handle my wedding like a true creative professional . There is only one word I can use to describe him overall and that is "AMAZING". He is a true 5 ...
star Dj. He built and composed two complex set lists for my wedding and he never missed a beat. I highly reccommend his service.
