Chelsea R. Sent on 11/08/2023An incredible DJ and Wedding Organizer!
Where do I even start?? Rachel is an incredible DJ and wedding organizer! We planned our whole wedding from abroad and Rachel was with us every step of the way, calling with us viz Zoom and making sure we covered all the details and had our timeline all in order ahead of time. Our wedding day went off flawlessly and flowed so smoothly, and that's certainly all thanks to her. We really didn't have to worry about anything on our big day, and we couldn't be more thankful for all her time, dedication, and energy. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! :) Thank you so much, Rachel! -

Carley Sent on 10/29/2023Incredible!
Rachel was an amazing DJ and night of coordinator. She not only helped layout and set up a timeline, but helped to make sure that timeline was followed by all members of the wedding the night of. Her DJ skills were spectacular! She was fun, energetic, taught us a few line dances, and made the night magical! Highly highly recommend her for price that was extremely reasonable, and her fun energy!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you, Carley and John, for the amazing review! It was such a special evening with those family members and friends that matter the most! Thanks for letting be a part of it! -

Couldn’t ask for a better experience
Rachel is the mom of one of my friends and when she told me her mom was a dj I was expecting someone with speakers playing a Spotify playlist. Boy was I wrong!!! She was so helpful from the first steps, helping us plan not only the songs but timing for the ceremony and helping get all the nitty gritty details worked out on paper. She was responsive to any questions and made sure everything was in order. On the day of she immediately took charge and helped pull my bridal party together and even put the boutonnières on the groomsmen. The ceremony was flawless, no mic squeaks or music too loud. She started the reception and we played games and did dances, everything flowed together and wasn’t awkward silence. Nothing was too long or to short. I couldn’t recommend her more!! 1000/10!!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you, Racheal and Rhett, for the fantastic review! I had so much fun celebrating with you and your wonderful group of family and friends (especially that one bridesmaid that has my same last name. ;-) ) It was truly an honor to be there. It was an amazing experience. -

Couldn't be happier!
I'm the MOB and although we had a relatively small wedding of about 50 guests, I was in over my head. Rachel put together a timeline, and helped us walk through the flow. The day of the event, things ran late and Rachel was behind me the whole time adjusting the schedule and keeping us on track. She arrived early, was super professional and fun, and on top of her great organizational skills, the music was great, too. You can hire Rachel and relax knowing you've got someone else looking out for your special event.DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thanks for the great review! You did a wonderful job creating such a perfect day for your sweet daughter and her new hubby! I was so happy to help organize it and keep it flowing. It should be about the joy on days like that...not the stress! -

Valerie G. Sent on 03/15/2023Couldn't be happier with Rachel's services!
Her attention to detail in getting everything just right is remarkable. I love that she listened and cared about what we wanted. She's much more than a DJ--she also took care to get the ceremony music and line up right, and coordinated the schedule of events during the reception. I wanted to dance at my wedding and she provided the perfect, fun atmosphere. I also wanted a dance party that the grandkids could enjoy and that's what we got. I loved her teaching of the line dances. So, so fun!!!!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you, Valerie and Austin, for the great review. I had just as much fun as your grandkids! It was my pleasure and honor to be able to help you celebrate your new lives together. -

Ashley Sent on 01/05/2023Organized, creative, and a joy to work with: handles the stresses so you don't have to!
Rachel was INCREDIBLE. We did an all inclusive wedding through The Cottage in downtown Gilbert, who hired Rachel for us to be our DJ--we were a budget wedding, so we didn't have any outside wedding planner, etc.. This means Rachel practically served as our wedding planner: she reached out immediately to create a timeline, handled changes to it, reached out herself to people like our photographer and our Contra Caller (think Bridgerton type dances), found versions of songs which we love and could never even have imagined in our wedding (from a bassoon heavy cover of pachabel for our processional--yes, even with a contra bassoon--to an acoustic cover of the theme song of The West Wing that somehow worked as an opening to food and most people didn't even notice as anything different than standard wedding music), and was the person who made sure we stayed organized even when my partner and I were about 45 minutes late out of hair and makeup and having to rush through a lot of the early planning.
I see wedding wire lists specialties including music types, but Rachel can clearly do any music type you could dream of (do I think Rachel herself is actually a fan of the west wing or syfy channel original shows? ... Seems unlikely, but I suppose it's possible. Nevertheless she managed to find perfect music for people who were, with perfect instrument usage too, since my partner played the bassoon). I also had no idea how much a good DJ could do till we met Rachel, and we were truly blown away. We lucked out beyond what we could have ever expected with Rachel--although we were a budget wedding nothing about our experience with Rachel could be categorized as budget at all.
Throughout the process Rachel reached out to us and our vendors to make sure everything was on track and help organize things. I truly cannot express how great Rachel was. I am utterly serious when I say: If Rachel is available for your wedding day, hire her right now! I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job for us.DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you, Ashley and Lauren, for the amazing review! It was an honor to be a part of your special celebration. I enjoyed every minute of it! -

Ashlee J. Sent on 11/07/2022DJ Rachel is the BEST
DJ Rachel is seriously the best DJ ever. I’ve been to and in weddings where the DJ just doesn’t play what you like or listen to special requests even from the bride. That wasn’t Rachel at all!! She kept communication open throughout the entire wedding process and kept the wedding party and guests on track. She even hung out with the best man’s cardboard stand in! I would definitely recommend her again and again!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thanks, Ashlee and Dustin! It was a great day! Everyone was so sweet and fun to hang out with. It made my job super easy! Best of luck to you all! -

Annika S. Sent on 09/26/2022So helpful and kind!
Rachel was so sweet and helped us with our wedding timeline and gave great suggestions when we were stuck. We had a weird theme of dungeons and dragons and she made a great effort to intertwine that with her music and games. She also helped with my bustel when we were stuck! She was wonderful to work with!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you so much, Annika and Keving! I had the best time at your wedding and LOVED the extra personal touches you put into it. I will always love that Dragon Good Luck Toss! You are the sweetest couple and have a wonderful group of family and friends. Thank you for letting me be a part of it all! -

Heather Sent on 09/26/2022Go with the flow
All correspondence and communication with Rachel prior and right up to the wedding was organized and stress free. The day of the wedding, minutes before the ceremony, we were blessed with a big rain cloud. Even after getting soaked moving all her equipment, the show went on and she did it with a smile on her face. Nothing but rave reviews from all that were in attendance.DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
It was a crazy, fun evening, for sure! You and Mark were so chill and fun to work with. That rain was definitely a sign of good luck for you two! Thanks for letting me beat party of the celebration! -

Rachel was hands down the BEST DJ ever! She was super fun, beyond friendly, and took everything we wanted into consideration. If we weren't sure what to do or how to go about something, Rachel had suggestion ready.

Eryn W. Sent on 03/27/2022Best DJ for a School Carnival
I would highly recommend Rachel to DJ for your event! She was organized and helped me MC our Pie The Principal and Raffle events. She also was on the dance floor with our guests getting them involved in line dances. She kept everyone involved and was a huge support to me and our PTO board. Rachel is hilarious and I felt at ease and comfortable very quickly! I felt like I was working with an old friend! Rachel, thank you for making our carnival a success! It wouldn’t have been the same without you!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you, Eryn, for the great review! I feel like besties now, too! I was thrilled to be a part of that awesome party you put together. -

Leann O. Sent on 03/15/2022MC & DJ of our wedding dreams!!
I can't even begin to thank Rachael enough for an INCREDIBLE wedding party!! From the beginning of the planning, months before the wedding, Rachel was attentive, timely, and very professional with getting us on track for our BIG day. Weddings can be stressful with tasks and Rachel helped us SO SO MUCH with our wedding timeline as well as planning music choices, dances, and activities for our guests to enjoy throughout the night for continuous party energy. She is not only a DJ but an incredible MC and host. I will be recommending her to everyone I know in need of DJ services. Thank you so much Rachael!DJ Rachel Z Willes's reply:
Thank you so much, LeAnn for the great review. I had a blast celebrating with you and Jarod and your super fun group of family and friends! -

Exceptional
I'm 53 years young, not my first wedding or party. I told my then fiance my no. 1 request was DJ RACHEL!! She kept us organized, and she is detailed to the last second. I litterally chose my wedding date because it was her only open spot. Thank you for a memorable enjoyable evening Rachel. We love you!! -
