    Best DJ Out There

    Clay was an excellent piece of our wedding puzzle. Without his knowledge, hard work, and advice, our special day would not have been the same. The wedding planning process can be stressful and busy, but Clay made sure to keep in contact with us over the course of a year. He was always kind and patient, offering great advice and gentle suggestions. We never felt unheard and the day came out just perfect. If you're looking for a trustworthy DJ, who has a TON of experience, Clay is your guy.

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thank you Chris! And thanks for sharing this pic - it's a rare moment... you caught me in "no-shave November" mode - the beard was a fleeting thing! lol... I loved all the personalized touches that you two incorporated. Great vibe... fun times. It has been my pleasure to work with you...

    The best DJ we could have ever asked for!!

    I would hire this company over and over again! Clay was the perfect DJ and helped us create the best wedding! He took all of our requests and made the best playlist to dance to all night long. I cannot recommend him enough!

    AMAZING. We loved working with Clay.

    Clay was suggested to us through Milestone Events for our October 2023 wedding. Sorting through tons of vendors for a huge event that you [hopefully] only host once in a lifetime was very stressful, and Clay truly calmed our nerves. During our first phone call, he efficiently outlined to us what exactly a wedding DJ can provide, including keeping your whole evening on track. There were parts of the evening where we really leaned on Clay, and he was able to suggest many great options. He is a superb listener, and took the time to get a sense of what we were after through just phone calls and emails. He is experienced and professional. Clay timed our whole ceremony and reception perfectly. Seriously, everything ran so smoothly. Our dance floor was tons of fun, and we are grateful to feel like we truly collaborated on the whole vibe of the day. Clay's transitions from the welcome party to the ceremony to cocktails to dinner (loved the dinner playlist, thank you!) and then to dancing were seamless. Thank you Clay!!!!

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thank you Emily, and thanks for sharing those pictures! So great to see everyone enjoying themselves. I really appreciate you trusting me to be part of your day, and I'm so glad that you were pleased with the outcome. Cheers!

    Best dj ever!!

    Clay was the MVP of our wedding!!! He was sooo knowledgeable and helpful about everything music, but also had very valuable and helpful insights about things that we didn’t know about or think about. He guided us on things like sequence, crowd engagement and gave us so many great recommendations and tips. His playlists whether for use or “inspo” were so helpful. Clay made our wedding the best night ever!

    Clay is great! :)

    Amongst all of our vendors he was one of my favorites. He is very easy to talk to and takes the time to know you both as an individual and together as a couple. His knowledge and experience with weddings and our specific venue was a great resource to lean on.

    Everything he did leading up to and on the day of our wedding was spot-on perfect, from the music selection and timing of events to emcee-ing the reception. We couldn't be happier with our decision in picking him as our DJ :)

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thank you Christina. I really enjoyed getting to know both of you, and especially your quirks and varied musical tastes. Thank you for letting me be a part of it! Cheers....

    Clay was available for us every step of the way, rom his music selection to his attention to detail in putting together a reception playlist that kept everyone on their feet! We so appreciate the work he did to help make our wedding the absolute best it could be!

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thanks Matt! I loved your unique music tastes, and how we were able to work those songs in to make sure it really felt like you two. We went pretty hard! lol... Fun times.... thanks!

    Our FAVORITE Wedding Vendor!

    Clay was amazing! Honestly our most helpful vendor we had. He is thorough, organized, positive, and an active listener. Not only was he a great DJ making the dance floor THE place to be; he actually helped create our wedding timeline and make sure the day was going to plan. Can't recommend him enough!

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thank you Emma! I had such a great time with you guys... what a fun party! Wishing you two the best!

    Hands down the best DJ

    We originally weren’t going to hire a DJ. Clay has been great since we interviewed him. We ended up meeting with him over zoom due to us being several states away. He told us that his price was set and he didn’t expect any tip or anything extra. We began planning our songs and sets with him with his organized list and timeline. He was extremely flexible and helpful with putting our vision together. When we met him at our wedding, he was incredibly kind and did a killer job especially with the quick “think on your toes” moments. My wedding planner said there were very few DJs she would work with again and he was one of them. All our guests kept telling us what great song picks he had and how much fun they had. We did end up giving him a tip because he went above and beyond! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring a DJ and HIGHLY recommend hiring Clay.

    Excellent, HIGHLY recommend.

    Clay at Premier Productions was great to work with. Our wedding featured a ceremony on a bluff, a cocktail hour next to a barn, an outdoor dinner, and a reception indoors -- Clay provided sound to all four of these locations. His set up was discreet, the sound was great. He gave concise, non-intrusive instructions to anyone who needed to use a microphone for speeches. In addition to being extremely prepared and flexible from a technical perspective, he allowed us to curate playlists, and worked with us to play the music we wanted, and was able to fill in with music selections that fit the vibe of our wedding and songs that our attendees loved. Most importantly, we got along with Clay extremely well and were excited to plan our wedding with his help and input.

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Thank you, Joe. You KILLED it with your disco-fabulous vinyl set... your crowd was right there with you, and it was my pleasure to back you up before and after, and to help things flow along with the subtle approach that you laid out for me. I appreciate your kind words... wishing you and your wife the best!

    Cheers-
    Clay

    Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!

    Clay was the perfect DJ for our wedding! His reputation leading up to the event was that he was the best DJ for Wine Country and he absolutely lived up to his well earned reputation. We had several calls with Clay prior to our wedding to ensure we were on the same page and Clay absolutely delivered on the big day. He is very detail oriented and also helped us with the song for our first dance!

    His ability to read the room and set the tone is unmatched and I can't recommend him enough for newly engaged couples.

    Thanks Clay for making our experience a great and memorable one!

    DJ Clay Rocks!

    Clay was really great to work with from start to finish. He was responsive, very fair priced, and accommodated my husband and I, who are both VERY particular about music, every bit we wanted. We had several meetings to go over planning, timing and vision and my husband and I both really felt like we were going to be in good hands for the wedding to run smoothly because we went over every detail with Clay, and he never made us feel like we were being too particular. During the wedding he executed everything we wanted and planned to perfection and was overall incredibly cheerful and fun to work with as our wedding MC. Highly recommend working with Clay!

    Premier Productions Is Fantastic

    Working with Premier Productions was an absolute joy! From the planning process through the reception, I did not have to worry about any issues. The first dance lessons were a huge help. The ceremony was flawless and the music at the reception spot-on channeled the energy of the guests. I will confidently continue to recommend Premier Productions.

    One of the Best Vendor Decisions We Made

    We couldn’t have been happier choosing Clay with Premier Productions as our wedding DJ! We’ve had the pleasure of enjoying his talents while attending other weddings as guests, and it was a no-brainer knowing his talent and personality that we had to work with him for our special day! Not only does Clay hit above the mark for his technical and professional talents, but he consistently had great communication with us during the entire process and gave thoughtful advice and feedback that we look back on and are so grateful for. He listened to our wishes and ideas and ensured that he respected the music choices we knew we wanted to incorporate and was cognizant and understood the vibe of the day we were going for and could fill in the gaps for the places where we weren’t sure of what to choose. The music fit perfectly for each part of the day but still felt like “us.” Our dance floor was busy the entire night and guests have been giving us compliments months after the wedding on his work! He worked harmoniously with our other vendors leading up to and on wedding day as well, and it made all the difference. We are so grateful to him!

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Hi Sam - It was such a pleasure to work with you and your husband on your wedding. I appreciated your attention to detail and clear vision for both specific music to include, as well as which traditions to include (or skip) and overall vibe. It was truly a collaboration with you to create the right feeling. I still chuckle thinking about everyone joining in to sing along with an old 4H? camp song during the toasts? That was definitely a first... love it.

    Wishing you the best on this stage of your life together!

    Cheers-
    Clay

    Clay is a professional

    Wedding planning can be really stressful and having the right vendor makes all the difference. Not only did our wedding day off without a hitch, but Clay went the extra mile to help us figure out our entire timeline and made really helpful suggestions on how to make it all flow together. He's an emcee, DJ, and wedding planner all-in-one. You're the man Clay!

    Hire Clay immediately for your wedding!

    Clay was incredible. He listened to our music preferences and had a playlist that our family and friends loved. People danced all night at our wedding as a result. The quality of his equipment and production is perfect. Not only is he a great DJ, he is extremely knowledgeable about wedding flow and production. His wisdom and advice throughout our planning process was invaluable and on the day of the event. You cannot go wrong by hiring Clay!

    Hire Clay!!

    Clay did an amazing job and went above and beyond! He helped us figure out some lighting, power, and dance floor logistics in addition to the obvious DJ skills. A ton of our guests commented on the great music and he definitely kept people dancing all night. We were slightly lost in terms of what we wanted for music and events, and he patiently guided us and gave us lots of time and options to choose from that would reflect US best. Definitely would recommend working with him!

    Wonderful to work with!

    We had a handful of changes while planning our wedding between the CA wildfires and the pandemic and Clay was so helpful and flexible through all of it! He does a great job making the day about you, while still playing his important role throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a DJ!

    Clay was extremely helpful and accommodating during COVID

    We initially had Clay lined up to DJ our wedding planned for April. Before COVID hit he was really helpful in planning the flow of our wedding and helped make decisions to get the feel we were hoping for. Ultimately, though, COVID led us to have to cancel and start from scratch. We considered live streaming our wedding and Clay even met up with us on our back deck to test everything out. He was so incredibly accommodating and amazing to work with. In the end we decided to just have a private elopement and share photos so we could focus on the moment and have a party later. We will absolutely go straight to Clay when we have the opportunity again to throw a big party.

    Extraordinary service, exceeded our expectations

    We can’t imagine how how different our wedding would have been without Clay as our DJ. He realiy was the Master of Ceremonies, from the planning stages until the wedding day. His professionalism and expertise were over the top amazing. He was flexible and made extraordinary efforts to make my daughters wedding day spectacular. I Highly recommend Clay for any event.

    Great Quality

    We worked with Clay during several calls and planning sessions leading up to the wedding, and he made the process really easy and fun. He has a really good approach to planning your day using his expertise and he was happy to share recommendations as well as to get a feel of what we were looking for. We really enjoyed Clay and were really looking forward to the day that we had planned with him. We weren't ever able to experience his DJing, because our wedding was impacted by COVID, but he was very reasonable and flexible and made the process of planning a breeze.

    Premier Productions's reply:

    Hi Mark-

    Appreciate your kind words. Bummed that we didn't get to work together all the way through as planned, but such is the crazy world we live in.

    I wish you both the best!

    Everyone tells us "It was the BEST WEDDING EVER"

    Working with Clay was so easy and fun. I was impressed from our very first contact with how thorough he was. We did initial consultations over the phone and email and then as our wedding day approached, my husband and I went to his studio to create a plan for the day, as well as select special songs for different key events throughout the night (e.g., grand entrance, cake-cutting, dances, etc.). He took as much time as we needed to really get an idea of what we wanted our reception to feel like and how he could help facilitate that. Clay was so much more than an DJ for us- he was also our MC and kept a perfect flow throughout the evening, effortlessly moving from one part of the reception to the next. In addition to proving DJ and MC services, we also utilized his special lighting services (up-lighting) and a dance lesson. Clay taught my husband and I some basic dance moves to help spice up our first dance from the typical sway and shuffle. The dance party portion of our reception was pretty wild and the dance floor was packed from the beginning until the very end (I mean VERY end, including an extended hour from our venue). Quite literally almost every person who talks to us about our wedding tells us it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to- I think Clay had an integral part in that. The financial investment in DJ services for your wedding should not be something to skimp on, since it can make or break your big day. I think Clay's services are extremely reasonable for all he did to make our reception perfect!
