The Dapper DJs

just a pleasure to work with. Their communication was great. DJ Uriel listened to our ideas, offered suggestions, and we felt very comfortable letting him take control on things we were uncertain about. On the day of the wedding, their quality of service was exceptional. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and got the party started with ease. The music selection was perfect. They set the tone for the ceremony, they provided a nice atmosphere for the cocktail hour, and they kept the crowd coming back to the dance floor. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and professional DJ. They really helped make our wedding day something special.

t. Uriel made sure to test the microphones with our officiant beforehand to ensure the best quality. Same goes for the reception - songs played on time, announcements and timeline followed to a tee, and most importantly the music was fantastic. Uriel has a talent for feeling the energy of the crowd. Communication was also exceptional. We touched base 3 times over 6 months to discuss the wedding plan, with a final meeting the week of the wedding. Again, high recommend for Uriel and Dapper DJs.

wedding music. Would definitely recommend! 

tions. The day of was a blast and went off without a hitch! Uriel did a great job reading the energy and keeping people on the dance floor. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Dapper DJs again!

s/weeks after saying how wonderful he was. His bubbly energy was infectious for everyone, and he really made our day much more enjoyable. The planning process was also relatively simple, and he made us feel extremely comfortable from the first meeting. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

e paired us with Jeff based on vibes and interests, and my husband and I couldn't have been happier! He understood all of our requests, was super professional the day of, and made sure that at the wedding we only had to worry about dancing and having a great time.

efore the event. He explained everything that was included in the price - plus any extras we could add on - very clearly and never tried to upsell anything at all. He was so friendly and easy to chat with and was always excited for and receptive to our ideas of the vibe we were going for. Once we decided on Najee, Dapper DJ's sent us a portal link where we could upload songs and Spotify playlists for different parts of the event (ceremony, dinner, reception, etc.) which made everything super easy. They also included a section to add songs to “must play,” “play if you can,” and “do not play” lists. Signing the contract and making payments online also went smoothly. The day of, he had everything set up before we even realized he had arrived and had several mics (handheld and lapel) to choose from for the ceremony. Our venue was a café split over two floors, and he did an amazing job coordinating people for different parts of the evening that took place either downstairs or upstairs, so the transitions felt seamless. He was a great MC - introducing everyone who gave speeches, hyping up the crowd for hitting our pinata, getting the dancing started, setting up the bouquet toss, first dance, everything! During the reception, we had so many guests come up to us asking "Where did you find this guy?? He's awesome!" The music and transitions were perfect, and he played a great mix of both the songs we had requested and his own that fit the current mood. And he proved the accuracy of the Dapper DJ’s name, because several people said word for word: "He looks so dapper.” We were originally on the fence about hiring a DJ at all to try to save some money, but we are SO glad we hired Najee. To say he was worth it would be an understatement. He really made the wedding, and we could not recommend him more!!

ed him with a playlist with many song options to play throughout the reception. He easily gauged the crowd and kept people on the dance floor despite other competing activities guests could participate in. Dapper DJ was easy to work with for scheduling and finalizing a contract. Their portal was helpful to upload information and we found it great that Uriel was okay to have us share our Apple playlists with him. The whole experience was seamless and guests raved about the party continuing all night.

ith the whole team was clear, timely, and easy. I had an introductory call with Alex where we went over everything, and then a call with Marcos who eventually became our DJ. My husband and I clicked with Marcos immediately because we share similar music tastes. Both of these calls were quick to schedule and I found everyone very dependable to work with. Marcos did an incredible job as our DJ/MC. His management of our ceremony sound and music cues was perfect, and he did a great job guiding the reception. He had no trouble with timing or names for anyone, and made it such a good experience. Most importantly, his dancefloor management was flawless. He flowed easily between more current pop songs, the 2000s alt pop we told him we liked, and more classic wedding songs. His transitions were so great, no song went on too long and it kept people interested all night. The dancefloor was full the whole 2ish hours we were going! Many guests mentioned to me what a great job they felt he did, both at the event and in the days after. We can’t recommend Marcos or the Dapper DJs enough!

ccording to plan, but he was also flexible to the situation and requests from the bride (and guests, which he handled with grace).

ll talking about how great he was! The only down sides were that the website you add your music selections to is pretty dated and the process to get a contract together wasn't smooth.

eryone on the dance floor the entire night. Our guests had a great time and loved the variety of music played at our reception.

to modern day pop music that kept our guests on the dance floor all the way to the end of our event. The dance floor lighting was perfect and she was very amenable to even our last minute requests like making sure we kept our formal dances relatively short and incorporating a few on-the-fly special request songs. I highly recommend this company and Marisa specifically!

all our details in order. Cannot recommend enough - hire them if you want the best night ever!!!

vibe going strong all night!! We definitely recommend Dapper Djs, as well as Marcos, for your musical needs!

em dancing the night away!

e did get feedback that the ceremony audio was a little hard for some people to hear, but it was a tough room with a high ceiling so that probably played into it. The reception audio was good and he even managed to deal with some toasters with really poor microphone holding. We went with the Bee’s Knees or “least experienced” package and given that, we were definitely impressed by the quality of service and the value of the package. The Dapper DJs portal was a little clunky and didn't have enough options for the timeline section, but luckily we already had a detailed timeline that we shared with the DJ so this wasn't a big issue, just an opportunity for improvement.

ion was everything we wanted and he transitioned from song to song seamlessly in a way that kept our dance floor packed all night. We got so many compliments from our guests and would highly recommend the Dapper DJs!!

s that got everyone out on the dance floor. There were constant compliments not just from us but also our guests about his music choices and how he kept the party going all night long.

and then for the dancing later in the night. He suggested the anniversary dance, which was a big hit at our reception! We told him we wanted calm and classy for dinner and then to turn it into a 90’s dance party. He crushed it! Our friends danced their butts off and had a blast. We received so many compliments about Brent and how great the music was. They provided the mic for our officiant and for the string quartet for the ceremony, plus the uplights for the reception. Dapper DJs were amazing! We hired them because they did my friend’s wedding and came highly recommended. You will be happy you hired them for your wedding.

th several DJs to find the right fit for you and your event. They are very transparent during the entire process, and it was so great to work with the admin (Kendra) and our DJ (Najee) to make our event perfect. Najee was spectacular and our guests cannot stop talking about how personable and energetic he was during the event. We expected nothing less from the meetings we had with him. He is friendly, genuine, hilarious, and incredibly talented. From keeping the ceremony perfectly paced to keeping up with the energy in the reception, Najee is truly amazing at his job and we would recommend him and Dapper DJs for any event.

rfect music vibe the entire day and for multiple areas of our wedding. He did such a fantastic job of not only incorporating our requests but also adding in songs to round out the reception and create a party experience. Marcos created such a fun vibe that people were on the dancefloor from cocktail hour to the end of the reception! He also live-mixed songs into each other and included song mashups we sent in advance which added to the fun reception vibe - he wasn't just hitting play on a Spotify playlist. We highly recommend using Dapper DJs and Marcos!!

le. Jack went out of his way to take the time to get to know us before the wedding and understand what we were looking for. He was a delight to work with and numerous guests told us how much they loved the music!

so we looked them up. Their company had a look we loved and they had the attitude we were looking for: making our wedding what we wanted to the best of their ability and not trying to shoehorn us in to some template. They made the whole process pretty easy, from payments to selecting which songs we wanted, and just as importantly, letting us pick songs we didn’t want. When we had a minor communications snafu early on, Alex, the owner, helped out and made sure everything got sorted out and the process went smoothly from there. Our DJ, Chris, was fun to get to know (we bonded a bit over Star Wars, favorite movie songs, and my husband’s video game interests), and he kept emphasizing that he was there to facilitate, help our guests have a good time, but mostly to play the songs we wanted and create a memorable night. We especially appreciated his style of DJing: he was never intrusive, he helped things move along, he followed the flow of the reception in choosing songs, did his best to play nearly everything we wanted, and never did anything we didn’t ask him to do. He readily agreed to one of our main requests, which was to play full songs and not cut quickly between pieces of them as we’d experienced at other weddings. When my husband mentioned his affinity for video game music, Chris offered that he had a playlist of lofi (softer and quieter) versions of game songs and noted they made good background music as guests are eating and socializing. He happily customized it to include selections from some of my husband’s favorite games, and played that for part of the meal and then moved to his traditional love song playlist as we transitioned towards the dancing part of the evening. Throughout our planning and the wedding itself, we appreciated Chris being approachable, friendly, and even-keeled when there were unexpected changes. He even facilitated a fun moment when friends decided to dance to Bohemian Rhapsody towards the end of the evening. We enthusiastically recommend the Dapper DJs!

n!

wedding reception and DJ Limin’s music made that happen!

!

of their lost items throughout the night, and loved every second of dancing we did!

ally knew how to keep the party going and was an awesome and flexible MC (even playing along with a little prank our Best Woman planned). Dapper DJs was super easy to communicate with too, and the owner definitely knows how to match his DJs vibes with couples.

the vibe of the reception rolling, and was such a great presence and personality throughout. It's no mean feat to wrangle all the guests for a cocktail hour entrance, and Chris managed it with humor and aplomb. We received SO many compliments afterward about his DJing and hosting skills. As a sidenote, Chris even hung out for a little bit as we closed down to show the old gramophone to some interested folks in the wedding party. HIGHLY recommend Dapper DJs and Chris specifically.

a vibe that matched our style. We created a playlist for inspiration, and Alex turned it into the perfect evening we won't forget! Many of our guests specifically mentioned how great our DJ was - you can't go wrong with booking Alex of The Dapper DJs!

s up fast!

some flexibility. We went with the "bees knees" tier, which is the newest group of DJs and were not disappointed. Our entertainer was Najee and he was great to work with, very professional, flexible with last minute changes, and put together a great event. We received a lot of compliments on the cocktail hour music especially which featured a lot of unique covers of traditional pop and rock songs. There were some hiccups during the event, which is to be expected, a few instructions in the timeline were missed, but when we brought these up after the fact Najee was very professional and apologetic. Overall he created a great vibe for the event.

think our wedding would have felt so incredibly perfect. There was never a time in talking with him leading up to the wedding that I felt I had to worry about him being our DJ. Our wedding was fun, happy and the primary event was dancing and that's exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Alex!

ion, in Frederick MD. Alex contacted us right away to congratulate us and get the planning started. He's both fun and a professional - he had all the audio equipment we could want: wireless lavs, standing and handheld mics, uplighting, and he moved locations to suit our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Alex worked seamlessly with TLIC, our videographer and streaming video vendor, and our live entertainment.

sonal and easy to work with. I was happy all the songs we picked were perfectly tuned to each moment. He was able to easily set the vibe for our wedding day. We gave him some suggestions and he was able to pick the right songs after that. Very happy with their service would highly recommend!

big day. At our wedding, he did a fantastic job and we got so many compliments on the music. We had almost everyone dancing which was one of our top priorities for our wedding. Alex even honored my request to do an ABBA medley, lol! Can't say enough good things -- hire the Dapper DJs!
