Dave is the best!

We were so excited that Dave could DJ for our wedding! The whole experience was perfect. We loved planning the music and feel and flow of the reception with Dave -- he is super organized and took care of every detail, down to making sure we had a microphone at the ceremony. The reception itself couldn't have gone better -- we loved the music Dave played for the cocktail hour and dinner, and our guests were dancing all night after dinner! He even incorporated last-minute requests for a traditional Liberian Wedding March and shared videos of the dancing with us! And did I mention he plays vinyl? His setup is so cool! We weren't sure if we were going to hire a DJ initially (we were a little DIY-ambitious), but there is no way our wedding would have been as amazing as it was without Dave!

Amazing Vinyl DJ

We hired Dave to DJ our wedding reception and he did an amazing job. All of our guests loved the music and had a great time dancing. He was great at reading the room and having vinyl made it a great and unique experience. Highly recommend!

You Need Dave's Vinyl Records

DJ Dave is amazing. I knew right from the start I wanted something different for our wedding day, and Dave's vinyl records were just what we were looking for. We played primarily motown and music from the 80's and later... and everyone LOVED IT. We keep hearing rave reviews from our guests on the music selections. Please do yourself a favor and book Dave! He plays the music everyone should appreciate more (no more chicken dances and cha-cha slides). Thank you, Dave, for everything!
