Hiring Dax and The Wedding Entertainment Collective was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Dax was extremely professional, organized and easy to work with throughout the entire process. His online portal was user friendly and allowed us to upload our playlists directly from Spotify. It also helped us communicate clearly to Dax so he knew exactly what we wanted throughout our reception. Dax had the dance floor packed all night long with his mixes and impeccable song transitions! I think almost every single guest complimented our choice of DJ!! We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Dax!
Hiring DJ Dax was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first meeting with him, I knew he not only matched our vibe but was also going to be extremely organized and help contribute to a stress free and fun wedding. Leading up to our wedding, he was extremely communicative and responsive. The day of, we had the absolute best party and an amazing dance floor. Picking a wedding DJ may fall to the bottom of the wedding planning list but a truly good DJ controls the entire vibe of the guests and party.
DJ Dax Parra is simply incredible. He was so unbelievably helpful with planning our wedding and selecting the music with us. All of his suggestions were top tier, he is truly a pro. My dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still raving about the playlist!
DJ Dax really went above and beyond for our wedding. He made sure everything was perfect for each transition in the wedding and rocked out with us all night. The photo booth and digital monogram was a great addition. He made everything very easy and was always very responsive. Would definitely recommend for any event!
DJ Matt Dorland from The Wedding Entertainment Collective was incredible to work with for our wedding. He provided us with great questions to help us find the vibe for the music for our wedding and gave us playlists to refine and perfect. He had a great set up at the wedding and nailed every cue and announcement. He kept the dance floor going and even overcame some technical difficulties with grace and poise. Our wedding reception party was a huge success in large part to DJ Matt. We got a ton of compliments about how incredible the DJ was at the end of the night. Thanks Matt for your part in our perfect night.
DJ Wet Carrot was a true professional and really knew how to mix the tunes. He kept our evening organized with his mcing. He was calm and really got our families dancing! I watched my parents dance for the first time in my life. I would 100% recommend!
As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working with DJ Dax for at a recent wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of his exceptional talents and professionalism. DJ Dax's easy-going personality and seamless communication made the entire wedding day experience smooth and enjoyable.
DJ Dax demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and dedication to his craft. His ability to keep the crowd engaged and entertained throughout the event was truly impressive. The energy and enthusiasm he brought to the reception created an unforgettable atmosphere that kept guests on their feet and dancing all night long.
I would highly recommend DJ Dax to anyone looking for a talented and experienced DJ who can elevate any event to the next level.
DJ John was helpful, responsive, and fun. Our guests complimented us on our DJ and choice of music numerous times throughout our reception and LOVED our photobooth. The monogram was also a fabulous addition - we weren’t sure what we wanted and he helped us pick one to fit our aesthetic. He sent us everything we needed to get him our created playlists, and did a final zoom call to make sure all was correct. He hyped up our guests and worked with our other vendors to make sure timing was correct and that the vibes were immaculate. PLEASE hire him (and his photobooth assistant!) for your wedding/events!! Thank you John!!
Dj John is absolutely amazing. My now Husband and John hit is off the instant they met. We went to River Garden for a open house and John was so welcoming and just has been amazing through this process. We wanted to be introduced in our grand entrance as The Hoffmans to poke fun at my mom who thought that was going to be my married name. It's not, Its Crawford. DJ John was happy to be in one the joke. We enjoyed how he made our night so fun. We gave him freedom to read the crowd and play songs that everyone would enjoy. Such a great night!
We had the pleasure of having DJ Dax for our wedding! What an amazing experience to have him for your wedding! You can see the passion, time put in, and sincerity through his work! We met him at an open house for our venue and just loved his vibes. We made large playlists with a variety of music we loved and told him to just do his thing, and go off vibes. We had followed him on social media for the year leading up to our wedding and to know Dax is to know you will get quality entertainment. We got so many comments about how awesome and on fire our DJ was! He even came to our rehearsal dinner with speakers! We are so grateful and thankful for you help on our big day Dax!
DJ John was great to work with! He is very professional and organized, and the big day went off without a hitch. He was super prompt with communication as well. The cordless speaker system was wonderful and the music sounded great. The cold sparklers were way bigger than I imagined and the Photo Booth was a hit as well! 10/10 would recommend.
The DJ is the most important vendor choice and DJ John killed it!! He was extremely communicative leading up to the wedding day, he kept in touch and ensured he got every detail of our day right. The set up was beyond perfect, the lights, sparklers, and mic system were great. Our guests loved the photo-booth too.
If I had to pick one word to describe John, it would be PROFESSIONAL. We reached out to John back in January 2023 to DJ our wedding reception in September 2023. He was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire year, and he met with us several times throughout the year to orchestrate an effective schedule for our wedding, recommend many different music playlists for each segment of our wedding (he put a great spreadsheet together where we could drop in music playlists), and advise us on all sorts of details that go into organizing a wedding reception. He even accepted last minute music suggestions from us the morning of (which he didn't have to do). On the day of the reception, he arrived early, set up everything quickly, and owned it as our DJ. He was attentive to all of our family and friends that had questions or music recommendations as well. You could not ask for a better DJ for any event you have in mind, and John is someone you can absolutely trust. You'd be in great hands with him, and I know friends of ours will be reaching out to him for their wedding receptions in the future!
Dax was an absolutely amazing wedding DJ! Leading up to our big day, he was extremely organized and made sure everything involving him and his role were planned for. He had several meetings with us to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted from him on our wedding day. The end result of his organization was an amazing day of experience. He knew exactly what our goals as the couple was for our big day and helped us to achieve them. Our biggest wish was to have an amazing party with lots of dancing that would get everyone involved and Dax helped deliver that to the max! He was amazing at reading the room/dance floor and playing exactly the right songs to get the party going. He was extremely responsive to requests, especially from the bride and groom. We rented a Photo Booth as well and all of the photos/memories from it will be cherished for the rest of our lives. We would recommend Dax to any couple looking for a wedding DJ, especially friends and family! Thank you, Dax!
Where do I begin!! DJ John was an absolute pleasure to have be a part of such a big day for me and my husband! His personality and how he carries himself immediately makes you trust him! John and all his staff are easy to talk to and can keep the party going. We had a rather small and intimate wedding but with John it never felt that way. He was always playing music that got our guests up to the dance floor. Our wedding day was so magical from our ceremony to the reception. John played a huge part in that. Thank you for all that you did, John. Our wedding was a day we will never forget!
We had an awesome experience with DJ Dax for our wedding. He went above and beyond with superior organization ahead of the event to determine the schedule and MC the event. We selected music using his platform and he even edited a few songs for us to get them just the way we wanted them. His sound system was excellent (I mean so good we got complements on it) - both outside (with wind blowing and everything) and the indoor one for dancing (no echo and good volume control). Dax was an awesome MC and even helped imagine our grand entrance from the balcony. Dax helped us stay on time, and on schedule and we had an awesome event with him. Highly recommend.
My wife and I couldn’t have been any happier with DJ Dax- he was our favorite vendor. From the very beginning up through the end, he was so organized, communicative, and committed to make sure our wedding was a success. He asked all the right questions and was more than open to answer any questions we had along the way. We were very satisfied with everything that came in his DJ package- it really set the tone for the night! The energy in the room was electric and that dance floor was pumping non-stop. If you want a DJ who is caring and fun and not “phoning it in” like other vendors then DJ Dax should be your choice- you will not be disappointed! - Eric & Olya
A huge Thank You to DJ John and The Wedding Entertainment Collective for making my wedding a dream come true! DJ John was there for me throughout the entire wedding process! He answered all my questions! He is so organized and detail oriented. Everything ran so smoothly! We couldn’t be happier with our wedding day! It was magical and DJ John played a huge role in making that happen!
The wedding entertainment collective was an amazing vendor to work with for my wedding. We had hired DJ John as our DJ and he made our night so special even when unexpected events happened DJ John supported us the bride and Groom. All my guest raved about the music selection and loved the option to make request. DJ John acted as another event coordinator which helped make our night go so smoothly. He had amazing communication and helped make sure we were on track and was open to last minute changes. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the wedding entertainment. Thank you again for making our night so magical and unforgettable.
DJ Dax, literally the BEST! We had such an amazing time at our wedding. Everyone says the DJ controls the reception ands it absolutely true. Dax was on it with our timeline, made sure everything ran smoothly, was an amazing MC/host. From the start The Wedding Entertainment Collective was super responsive, professional, fun, and easy to work with... I could not recommend them enough for your wedding. I am still getting requests from guests for his playlist, where to follow him on Spotify etc. Do not hesitate to book!
DJ Dax is the best! We had such a great time at our wedding. So many compliments from our guests about the music variety and the lights! The package choices were affordable, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing DJ John was. From the very beginning, he was super organized and extremely thorough with every detail. They always say a DJ can make or break your wedding. DJ John will make it with out a doubt. His energy, his vibe, his professionalism, his music, lighting, sparklers, photo booth, everything was absolutely top notch. He was so much fun to work with and he made sure he delivered on his promise to give us his all on our wedding night. I can’t thank him enough for making our special day the best day and night of our lives. Don’t look any further, hire DJ John, you won’t regret it, I promise you!!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!! Dax blew us a way by doing a far better job than we could ever imagine. Every step of the way was personalized to our specific wants. It was all very unique and styled to our desires perfectly. He worked very closely together with us to make sure our day was perfect and special. I would give 10 stars if I could.
DJ John was amazing! He was very organized, well prepared, fun and professional. He listened to all our wishes as well as our concerns and made our big day very special! I 100% recommend DJ John as you will not be disappointed!
DJ John was the best DJ we could have ever asked for our wedding. When you think of a DJ, you think of someone who is going to play music throughout the day. What we didn't realize is that DJ John goes above and beyond.
From sending us spreadsheets to being one of the most amazing hosts, DJ John was outstanding. He really brought the party to life, I've been to weddings where the DJ could not get a single person up to the dancefloor, but he knew exactly what to do and the dance floor was alive all night. Whenever we had a chance to talk, we could tell he was sincere and passionate about his work and it really made us excited for our wedding day.
Best of all, he played the music we wanted. He listened to our concerns, he had us send him the music we loved, and he crafted his playlist throughout the night perfectly. We got to listen to all of our favorite songs, dance to our favorite music, and just really enjoy the night.
But beyond all of that, the photo booth provided by DJ John was the next level. It was the standard that all photobooths should aspire to be. The props were clever, unique, and engaging. The attendants were there to help with every issue right away, making sure that everyone got their photos, and keeping everything organized and clean. It was perfection in its finest form.
Thank you DJ John! We would be more than happy to hire you for any other events we have.
John Was DJ for our wedding this past Friday and was great! He met with us several times by phone before the wedding to confirm the timeline of events, playlists, and general vibes that we were going for, and kept the dance floor full which is all you can really ask for! He’s very personable, a great MC, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any wedding or event!
From start to finish, DJ Dax was absolutely amazing to work with! His attention to detail is impeccable and he helped our special day run smoothly. He had great suggestions for our timeline and helped to keep the ceremony & reception on track. We included the photo booth in our package and absolutely loved it! Vero helped our guests with the photo booth and she was so fun and friendly. Our guests had so much fun taking photos it was a highlight of our wedding. I will definitely recommend DJ Dax to everyone I know throwing an event!
My husband and I would highly recommend DJ Dax Parra with The Wedding Entertainment Collective who was a DJ/MC/Host for our wedding reception in October 2021. He was really easy to work with, made it all about us and what we wanted, and customized the experience to us as a couple and to our families which made it extra special. He was friendly, kind, upbeat, uplifting and fun throughout the entire planning process and event which was a breath of fresh air during a naturally stressful time. He helped us to have the most perfect and fun time ever that we will never forget and I guarantee every event he works will reflect the same result.
