Reviews for Seattle Wedding DJ
I can hardly say how much I appreciate the couples below who have taken the time to share reviews of my DJ services. The couples I work with are simply the best.
What you see below is a comprehensive set of reviews, compiling WeddingWire reviews, The Knot reviews, Yelp reviews and more. It’s kind of long, I know, but I think it’s best for couples who are trying to find a Seattle Wedding DJ to have the chance to hear directly from other couples who have gone through it themselves.
“The glue of our wedding day”
Alan was the glue of our wedding day!
What I appreciate the most about Alan is how he took the time to really get to know us a couple.
His website was key to helping us plan and coordinate our day of events. Alan brings all the energy and professionalism. Our day rocked because of him!Katie Stokes and Johnny Snell
Married at the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed“Easily the best choice we made for our wedding”
Alan did our wedding on 8/18/18. He was easily the best choice we made for our wedding. He was dressed sharp, knew his job extremely well, and made DJing look easy.
We danced almost 3 hours thanks to him and each song was a great follow to the other. He was very helpful in structuring time management through music for our wedding, and being that we were the first of our friends to get married, he was a unbelievable wealth of knowledge to lean on.
Alan gets a 20/10 in my book, the only reason I rated him 5/5 is because this website restricts me from going higher.McKenzie Purdy and Andrew Halls
“He is truly an expert”
Alan was the perfect DJ for our wedding. We hired him on relatively short notice and luckily he was still available for our Sunday wedding. He was happy to work with the band we hired as well. He is truly an expert and gave us some great ideas and advice. (One of his ideas, the bouquet tossing song, turned into one of my favorite moments of the night…impromptu bridesmaid dance party!)
Overall, Alan is a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend him for your event!Lauren Hanson and David Applebaum
Married at Bostic Lake Ranch in Redmond“Helped us coordinate the music for every part of the wedding to our exact taste”
Alan was an amazing resource during our wedding.
Not only did he help us plan out the order of events, which we hadn’t even thought to do, he helped us coordinate the music for every part of the wedding to our exact taste. He also has an excellent read of the crowd. Our families are big on the 80’s, so when he hit the 80’s vein he knew to keep it right there!
I highly recommend Alan for your wedding. Not only is he invaluable to the planning process, he is sure to keep everyone dancing!
Thanks a ton Alan!Olivia Bronson and Aidan Blake
Married at Privately-owned Castle in Poulso“Really committed to helping us have the wedding of our dreams!”
Alan was the DJ/MC at my wedding and he did a fantastic job!
I have received multiple compliments from family and friends about how great he was in making our wedding fun and memorable!!
My husband and I are by no means expert party planners, and Alan’s overall wedding /event expertise was a great help to us in the planning process. He went out of his way to come to our area and meet with us several times in person to guide us and offer advice (but was also super open to any ideas we had).
His website is easy to use and has a lot of helpful tips. There is also a great planning form that you can fill out and really asks a lot of questions that helps the party flow, but that the novice party planner wouldn’t necessarily think to ask. Alan also has excellent music (duh!) with comprehensive lists of songs, helpfully grouped by what part of the wedding they are meant to be used in ( ie; grand entrance, first dance ect.). This was awesome in helping us find some perfect song choices that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own.
We also REALLY appreciated that all of his costs were up front and simple. Alan has a flat fee, and he is at your service for your whole event! No add-ons, hidden charges, or trying to nickle and dime you for extra time or special requests! Poof! so much stress gone, just like that!
On the day of the event, Alan was punctual, professional, and energetic (even though it was HOT and we were not his first wedding that weekend!). He came to the venue and set up all his equipment on his own with no special help. Throughout the reception he would come check in with my husband and I to let us know what was coming next and if we needed to be doing something, but was not at all intrusive or pushy.
Overall, he was just really committed to helping us have the wedding of our dreams!
Thanks Alan! Couldn’t have done it without you!Michelle Goncer and Sebastian Hesse
Married at The Fields at Willie Greens in Monroe“We had personal attention and commitment”
We didn’t have to worry about a thing. He knew his way around and everything was on auto-pilot.
Alan met with us in person on multiple occasions to make sure the event went as planned. He was responsive over email and responded to my initial DJ inquiry within minutes. We definitely felt like we had personal attention and commitment.
Delille presented several challenges that a first-time DJ would have had difficulties with, but with Alan, we didn’t sweat a thing.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect.Katie and Omer Burstein
Married at DeLille Cellars in Woodinville“Everything was planned down to the minute and it all went off without a hitch”
We interviewed a few different DJs before choosing Alan. When we asked some questions of the other DJs, one of them felt that a backup set of equipment was unnecessary. Another felt that they didn’t need to insure their own equipment, rather that the venue should do it for them. We definitely didn’t like either of those answers. Alan is insured, licensed, has a back up set of equipment, has his own website, and can take requests both on the fly and ahead of time.
Alan did an amazing job, we definitely felt that we chose the right DJ for our big day.
Alan was definitely more committed than “just a gig” that’s for sure. He went above expectations.
Alan spent a lot of time working with us to edit a song for our first dance as well as helped us chose a father/daughter dance song. He also met us at the venue so he could see it first hand and help us design a floor plan. He also helped gauge how long Cocktail Hour needed to be and assisted in our timeline making. It was above and beyond what we expected.
I think the timing and volume was excellent. And there were people on the dance floor all night long! The floor did nearly completely clear out at one point, but it was a song I had personally chosen. So that is on me. Ah well, I enjoyed dancing to it with my ‘new’ husband!
He wasn’t like a talk show host and I’m glad for that. A recent wedding I went to had a talk show host style MC which is what I was afraid would also happen to ours. I think he added just the right amount of cheesy-ness to our day.
I think it went rather smoothly! Everything was planned down to the minute and it all went off without a hitch. I think Alan played a huge part in that!Marissa Pleasants and Dorian Goettler
Married at McMenamins School House in Bothell“Impressed by his professionalism.”
My sister used Alan as a DJ for her wedding. My wife and I were both impressed by his professionalism.
When it was time for us to get married a year later, we knew we also wanted to use Alan for his services. His price was reasonable, he was very easy to communicate with, and he was very helpful setting up a timeline for our wedding reception (cocktail hour, food, first dance, etc).
Alan was amazing and my wife and I would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future!April Thompson and Nick Tarabochia
Married at The Cove in Normandy Park“Really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our wedding”
Alan was incredible! He really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our wedding – he felt like someone we could hang out with and talk to for hours!
When our officiant couldn’t make it to the rehearsal, Alan volunteered to come in his place.
The music was excellent and his emcee-ing kept our guests entertained and the event moving.
He was an integral part in making our wedding the perfect night that it was!Aubrey Buerstatte and Kristopher Dane
Married at Novelty Hill Januik Winery“You can tell he truly enjoys what he does”
Alan was the best choice for our wedding! Being a destination couple (we live in Arizona) we were nervous about the selection of our vendors. Alan was highly recommended by our venue and we got the opportunity to hear him DJ at an open house.
We knew that Alan was the right choice after speaking with him for the first time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and he takes time to meet with you and understand what you want to overall feel of your wedding to be. He spent a lot of time with us via phone and/or Skype and met with us in person before the wedding.
The day of the event Alan was early to set up and so helpful.
Alan knows how to keep the flow of the wedding going smoothly and he kept us on time. We didn’t need to worry about any details of what was next, Alan knew (due to our prior conversations) and he kept us on schedule.
He was friendly with guests, a great speaker, and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. We are so thankful to Alan for not only making our day special but being there for us and keeping everything running smoothly.
I would choose Alan again and give him the highest recommendation!Elizabeth Gonzales and Josh Lemster
Married at Robinswood House in Bellevue“Every song that was played that night was awesome”
Alan was an awesome DJ! He played everything we asked him to and was very appropriate with songs that he picked. Every song that was played that night was awesome and we loved!!
We were very happy with him as an MC as well. He moved things along and did not talk too much.
Pacing was important to us and he made sure that he stayed on schedule. He is among the more expensive options, but he will work with you and deliver exactly what you want.
He is very reliable, has good suggestions, creates a timeline for you, and is always available to chat if needed. He plays awesome music and knows what gets the crowd going.Marissa Alcorn and Andrew Johnson
Married at Sandpoint Country Club in Seattle“Such a key person in our wedding. He helped us plan, brainstorm, and he made our wedding the fun time that it was”
Alan is extremely personable. We liked the style and vision that he had. After meeting with him, he was able to answer all of our questions, he offered great ideas, and he was genuinely excited about our wedding. His excitement made us even more excited. He was extremely committed to making our day special. You could tell this wasn’t just a job he was going to. He truly was there for us and to make our day special.
At our wedding he went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone was up and dancing, there was a smooth musical transition to each portion of our wedding, and we got lots of compliments on how great he was. My husband and I did not want to do a bouquet toss/garter, instead we wanted to do the shoe game. I have a love for golden retrievers and Alan had a shoe for my husband and golden retriever stuffed animal for me. Everyone absolutely loved it and it amazed me. Just the little personal thought that went into setting that up touched me, and it was recognized by all of our guests.
Alan was essential in our planning. He helped us figure out the feeling we wanted and how we can choose music to help guide that feeling and flow of the wedding. He gave us a great ideas for our exit which our guests absolutely loved! He was extremely professional, a great MC, and musically he did a phenomenal job. We told Alan that we wanted to make sure everyone was up and dancing and told him to do his thing and that we trusted his choices. Every single person danced at our wedding. That meant so much to us since it truly was our goal. He really delivered. Alan evaluated the group and brought everyone together.
Alan was worth everything that we paid for and more. We would highly recommend him over and over again. When we started our search we were expecting to just find a DJ, however, Alan delivered so much more. He was such a key person in our wedding. He helped us plan, brainstorm, and he made our wedding the fun time that it was. He kept everything on track and got everyone up. We were so impressed. We knew after talking with him and planning what our idea of what we were expecting was, but he had his own personal touches just for us during the wedding that touched us so much. He delivered what he promised and so so much more. Our wedding was seamless and we owe that to Alan. Everything flowed, everyone had a good time, and it was perfect. We got so many compliments on how well Alan did and how great he was. The way he worked and communicated to make everything flow from ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing truly made the wedding the great time that it was.Kristen Foster and Cody Goodman
Married at Robinswood House in Bellevue“I wasn’t worried about anything because I knew Alan would take care of it!”
He really took the time to talk to us and listen to what we wanted, and most importantly, provided us with some really helpful advice right away! We knew that he had the expertise to help us with everything from planning to execution.
Alan was the most helpful in the months leading up to the wedding. We had so many little questions about flow and organization, and he always had good solutions. On the wedding day, everything was smooth and seamless. I wasn’t worried about anything because I knew Alan would take care of it!
I feel like he was personally committed. He made the time to talk to my family and people giving speeches. He knew what we liked and our vibe, and stayed very true to that. He also knew our group wanted a killer dance party – and that is what we got! We still get compliments today about how great the dance party was.
He also had a ton of good advice with flow, speeches, and dancing 🙂 He was funny, professional, and organized.
We spent hours with Alan in-person and on the phone before the wedding, hashing out even the smallest details. You don’t just pay for the day-of – you pay for access to his advice for months in advance!
Our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We wanted a laid back, intimate vibe. We didn’t want to be stressed and wanted to have fun. AND we wanted to dance the night away. Alan was great at keeping the night progressing forward and taking care of the details for us. And the dance party was exactly what we imagined.
Thank you Alan! We loved our wedding so much and have such amazingly fond memories. Thank you for investing the time and effort to make it so special!
Emily and Brad Fulkerson
Married at Ray's Boathouse in Seattle“A truly unbelievably, great DJ”
Alan is the complete package – thoughtful, thorough, and truly provides every little thing you don’t even know you need to make a wedding day AMAZING.
The music and sound and everything that needs a mic sets the tone of the day – Alan is professional and really understands what it takes to make a wedding day operate.
Our wedding day went swimmingly because he got to know us, provided any detail we didn’t even know we needed, and was patient as we changed our minds. A truly unbelievably, great DJ.Holly Lauer and Rich Galluccio
Married at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle“Personable, honest, and really knows how to liven up a party”
Hiring Alan as our dj was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was personable, honest, and really knows how to liven up a party. You will not regret working with him!!
Ashley Richter and Zach Cozad
Married at Sodo Park in Seattle“Alan was a key part of making it all a success”
Alan’s key qualities included professional, responsive, organized, good listener, really cared about the success of our event.
We didn’t have a planner and Alan helped to remind us and help solve a number of the details for the evening. It was a huge help.
It was great. Everyone danced all evening! A good mix for our guests, kids and adults.
We wanted minimal engagement and he did that, conveying mission critical information when appropriate.
Alan was a key part of making it all a success. Strongly recommend.
A big thank you!!!
Cathy and Doug Helton
Married at the Golden Gardens bathhouse“…the ultimate professional and a huge part of what made our wedding a success.”
Alan was a delight to work with!
From our first meeting, it was clear that this was more than just another “gig.”
He was instrumental in helping us design our day from the flow of the ceremony and our grand entrance to coordinating transitions and hosting a trivia game during dinner.
Most importantly, we were able to create the perfect playlist and Al delivered on an awesome dance party. We had multiple people ask us where we’d found him because in the words of one guest, he was “killing it.”
The bottom line is that Al is the ultimate professional and a huge part of what made our wedding a success.
Carinn and Elliott White
Married at Within Sodo“He’s extremely helpful, personable, professional, and genuine!”
He showed interest in not just getting our business, but getting to know who we are, and who we are as a couple. I of course looked him up and read his reviews and they were all really good. When sitting down to chat with him, he was accommodating, helpful, and not at all pushy.
He had so many ideas that I wouldn’t have even thought of. He went above and beyond. He wasn’t just music. He wasn’t just the “emcee”. He mapped out our whole night and made sure those events were hit at the right time, or when we were ready.
I definitely felt he was committed to making our day everything we wanted it to be. I felt he was very genuine and you can tell he really enjoys what he does.
He had tons of ideas and we bounced ideas off of him as well and he made a note of everything we wanted to do. If we had an idea that he hasn’t seen go over too well in the past, he was honest in telling us so. He knows what he is doing.
I’m pretty sure he played all the songs we requested. (hard to say). But our guests were dancing all night long, so that outta tell you something.
He was funny and he wasn’t talking too much. He had an idea to dismiss the guests for dinner by asking trivia questions about us. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Honestly, it was amazing. Little to nothing went wrong, everyone had a blast, and I know Alan played a huge role in that.
He’s extremely helpful, personable, professional, and genuine!

Married at Robinswood House in Bellevue“An absolute master at what he does and someone who kept the party rolling all night long”
Fun, professional and certainly knows his craft.
An absolute master at what he does and someone who kept the party rolling all night long.
When hiring a DJ you need to look at more than just fancy equipment (which he has plenty).
You need some somebody who you trust to direct the flow and pacing of one of the most important nights of your life.
As a wedding professional myself and someone who specifically chose Alan and Puget Sound DJ to be the DJ at MY wedding, I can’t express enough the importance of finding somebody with the right experience. Alan has that, and then some. You won’t be disappointed.
Dorothy and Reid Johnson
Married at Salty's on Alki in West Seattle“Alan gave me the gift of allowing me to be completely present during our reception”
First off, we had a blast and Alan contributed to it.
We wanted our wedding to be fun but honestly had no idea about the details. After our first meeting with Alan it was clear how thoughtful and committed he was in helping us create an event that mirrored us not him.
He’s not flashy or over the top, he’s genuine and with the subtly art of adjusting his energy level to match yours. We definitely felt it during the wedding and reception. When we were high, the music was pumping, which quite honestly was most of the night, and when things needed to slow down he eased into it without it being awkward.
We did have a little hiccup with our recessional music, but it added to the intimacy of the event along with giving some of our late guest a chance to say they witnessed our ceremony (at least a part of it).
I’m a planner and could easily of been caught up in the details during the event, but Alan gave me the gift of allowing me to be completely present during our reception because he was managing our pre-arranged goals. After a few items got ticked off without me needing to prompt it, i knew I could relax.
During the planning process he was excellent with guiding us through the “details” as well as being open to challenging his own comfort level after we decided to have an east coast style reception, with dancing in between courses. 🙂
Susie and Ari Cetron
Married at Pan Pacific Hotel in Seattle“Everyone is talking about how personal everything was”
We thank you for your hard work on our wedding day. We could not have imagined a better wedding for us. We’ve received numerous complements on the dance party and the thoughtfulness that went into everything, which speak loudly to you and your experience.
Yes, thank you so much Alan! We couldn’t have asked for a better MC/DJ!!
Everyone is talking about how personal everything was and saying it was the best wedding dance party they’ve been to, and so much of that is because of you. All the introductions and little touches you added really made it so special for everyone involved.
And thanks for making the dance party in the grass happen for as long as it did.
The night was honestly so perfect and we couldn’t have imagined it going any better!! We received multiple questions about where we found you and who you are – people were seriously impressed. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone who asks. We can’t thank you enough!!!!
Sarah and Kyle Dominick
Married at Robinswood House in Bellevue“I really felt so relieved every time we left a meeting with him”
Having Alan as our wedding DJ was SUCH a good idea!
I felt like Alan just knew EVERYTHING. We met multiple times to discuss details and he provided his opinion and thoughts on topics that I wasnt sure of. I had never planned a wedding before so his experienced input really helped us make some decisions on how our ceremony and rehearsal was going to run.
Alan met with us a couple of times for multiple hours to hash out details and I really felt so relieved every time we left a meeting with him. Just felt *phew,* got lots of details checked off the list!
On the wedding day, Alan ran everything so smoothly and helped keep us on schedule. He played all the songs I wanted and really made sure I (the bride) was happy and my needs were met.
We LOVE Alan! Thanks for all the hard work you put into our wedding! it turned out perfect.
Alison and Justin Rew
Married at Willows Lodge in WoodinvilleEveryone absolutely loved and adored you!
Thank you so much for being such an amazing DJ! Everyone absolutely loved and adored you!
You are awesome and I am so happy you DJ’d our wedding.
The music was great. You rocked and I can’t thank you enough.
My next big party (Mike’s 50th) I do plan on giving you a call!Jessica and Mike Fermo
Married at Wild Rose Weddings in Arlington“We felt as though we had nothing to worry about and I cannot say enough how meaningful that feeling can be on such a momentous day”
Alan was extremely friendly, easy to collaborate with and had such a passion for his work and music that it was hard not to make the decision to work with him!
Alan provided excellent service and became such a mentor throughout the process – something we definitely were in need of to help keep our heads straight.
He provided great advice that was thoughtful and catered to who we were as a couple – you could tell that he really cared about making the day special for us and something that we would always want to remember.Alan was extremely helpful in planning and also realistic which was such a refreshing experience. Our wedding day went a bit crazy in regards to weather and he was so prepared – adjusting the schedule and helping us make decisions that made the most sense for us and our guests. We felt as though we had nothing to worry about and I cannot say enough how meaningful that feeling can be on such a momentous day in our lives.
The music was amazing and really made the evening. Alan was so great in selecting and changing up the tempo at the appropriate times. The night flowed so well and the selections he made were perfect!We were expecting a 70 degree sunny day and were treated to thunderstorms and flooded tent – the best part about all of that was that neither my husband or I will remember that. We will always remember how much fun people had and what a great time we both were able to enjoy because of Alan’s choices and MC duties. He made appropriate decisions regarding guests that wanted to steal the show every so often and those moments made the night even more spectacular. When we received our photos back from our photographer our first response was “people really did have an amazing time”!
Our wedding was so spectacular – there was so much laughter and love – people dancing that shouldn’t have been and so many more memorable moments that Alan helped create.
He’s personal without being overbearing and professional without being pushy or opinionated – the best of his kind 🙂
We can never thank you enough for all your help and support during one of the most important days of our lives. Your passion for music and was so apparent in your approach – you made it fun and that was the absolute best way to celebrate how far we had come leading up to that day and exactly where we wanted to go in the future. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!Ryan and Audra Earl
Married at Newcastle Golf and Country ClubWe definitely feel like the value of Alan’s service vs. the price we paid was amazing! Alan’s services in our mind are priceless, he did such a fantastic job. He doesn’t nickel and dime you for every little thing like so many DJs do and this was so helpful for us.
Michelle and Brian Nagy
Married at Sanders Estate in Auburn“Was so helpful every step of the way, he really did play a huge part in making our day amazing”
The moment we spoke with Alan, we knew he was the right choice. He was so passionate about what he does and had so much information for us! He told us that he was more than just a DJ and that we were more than his clients.
Alan surpassed our expectations! He was absolutely amazing. We cannot express enough how thankful we are that he was able to be there on our special day. Everything from the ceremony up until the very end of the reception was absolutely perfect. He worked closely with both our photographer and planner to ensure that everything was running smoothly. He truly made our day special in more ways than one!
We 100% feel that Alan was personally committed to making our day what we wanted! During our multiple phone calls he gave us suggestions and made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted. We felt more like an extension of his family than his clients.
Alan was so helpful! I don’t know what we would have done without all of his great advice. He has so much knowledge and information, it is beyond fantastic! We had no clue a week before the wedding what songs we wanted for some of our major events but he was quick to give us amazing suggestions.
We had planned not to do a reveal and I as the bride was deadest on having my husband see me at the altar. Alan explained to us what he has seen in his previous experiences with reveals and we are so thankful we chose to do a reveal!!! It was such a special moment and we are so grateful that Alan shared his knowledge and experience with us! Best decision ever to do a reveal!
Alan was very professional. All of his equipment looked fantastic and his setup was very classy and looked great! He showed up looking very sharp and his overall approach was perfect.
Alan’s music choices were awesome! We had planned on creating an entire playlist from start to finish for the entire wedding but got caught up in the wedding planning. A week before the wedding, we only had a few songs picked out and were worried we didn’t have everything else planned out. Alan asked us some general questions about some different kinds of music that we would like to hear during cocktail hour, dinner, etc. He took that feedback and had a playlist for the entire event!! We were beyond thrilled, this eliminated so much stress on our end and our guests have done nothing but give us amazing feedback about how much they loved the music selections and Alan. The timing on everything was perfect and the volume was right where it needed to be.
He is great at what he does and is a phenomenal MC. On a scale of 1 to 10, we give Alan a 15! He was so on top of knowing when different events were taking place and he was really good at giving the guests direction and filling them in every step of the way.
We definitely feel like the value of Alan’s service vs. the price we paid was amazing! Alan’s services in our mind are priceless, he did such a fantastic job. He doesn’t nickel and dime you for every little thing like so many DJs do and this was so helpful for us. It put us at ease and the process was so seamless and not stressful at all!
Our wedding was so perfect! It was way beyond our expectations, I have been smiling for a week straight! We feel that Alan had a major impact on helping to make our day perfect. He kept the energy up throughout the entire night, created special memories for Brian and I that we will cherish forever, and he made us feel really special. He was so helpful every step of the way, he really did play a huge part in making our day amazing!
If a friend asked us about Alan’s services, we would say they are fantastic! He really cares about his clients and really strives to make your event a great one, he will take the time to get to know you and find out what is important to you. We will be recommending him to anyone and everyone we know! You can’t go wrong with picking Alan as your DJ, you will be so happy you picked him!
You have no idea how thankful we are that you were part of our special day! You really helped to make everything go really smoothly, which really eliminated a lot of stress for us and allowed us to just enjoy our day. Your communication with the wedding planner and Cait was so great! The memories you helped us to create will last a lifetime. Alan, thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts for sharing our special day with us and for helping to make it absolutely amazing!
Choosing Alan to share our big day with us was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Thank You so much, Alan!

Married at Sanders Estate in AuburnAlan had a couple of suggestions for how to make the event fun including two games that were interactive and especially engaging for our guests. Every step of the way, Alan infused his wit, humor and spunk into the occasion and many guests spoke highly of his service saying that he really added to the celebration and that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Married at Ray's Boathouse“Every step of the way, Alan infused his wit, humor and spunk into the occasion”
Having Alan as our DJ and MC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding celebration!
We met Alan was at a tasting at Ray’s Boathouse (the venue we had selected for our Wedding celebration) and signed up with him on the spot. We had been looking for someone to tie everything together and it was clear just from talking with him, that Alan has exceptional skill, diverse experience and the ability to communicate proficiently. We needed someone to bring people together who are from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. So, after talking with Alan just two minutes, we realized that he was our guy.
Working with Alan was a dream. He was full of amazing ideas to keep the crowd engaged, while simultaneously being attentive and open to our ideas, facilitating both planning and execution seamlessly and flawlessly. He asked us what we wanted our of our event, and after we went over everything, he helped us choose the right order, timing, and brought in his experience to work out all the logistics.
Alan was self-directed and considerate of our time. Both my husband and I have hectic schedules, as we both work full times jobs, so the fact that Alan could take the essence of what we wanted and weave it together himself helped us tremendously. We only had to meet twice, once in person, to go discuss the timeline and vision for the event and the next time over the phone to review plans and finalize details. Along the way he was responsive over email and we felt assured that everything was going to come together smoothly.
He spent just the right amount figuring out our timeline for the evening and did a fabulous job culling our long playlist, while at the same time making sure to include the songs that were most important to us. He was even able to scrub the Josh Krajcik version of At Last for our first dance.

Every song was perfectly timed and we ended up dancing all night along with many of our guests. Alan was even able to get all the Hindi songs that I had requested for the Indian guests who thoroughly enjoyed themselves dancing!
We highly recommend Alan without reservation!

Married at Ray's BoathouseAlan got a great feel for our music style before the event and pulled off the DJ/Emcee role perfectly for us.
We pulled that thing off without a hitch. Planning is key and Alan certainly was part of the team that made it great.
Alan got a great feel for our music style before the event and pulled off the DJ/Emcee role perfectly for us.
Alan helped tremendously with details we would not have been able to pull off (like the color-coordinated lighting.) Alan worked well with our representative at the Edgewater and listened to our plans. Alan was willing to work with our needs, not his.
It was exactly what we wanted.

Married at the Edgewater in SeattleThe day wouldn’t have been a success without him!!!
We had Alan DJ for our wedding last summer.
I didn’t have a day of planner so I needed a DJ who was able to carry the whole day and entertain all the guests.
Alan was perfect!! He was very organized and made a timeline for the whole day so we knew exactly what was happening when.
He took the time to get to know my fiancé and I so he could make it more personal, rather than some cookie cutter reception.
I had a few songs that I had to have at the wedding but other than that I left it up to him. The guests loved him. We were so happy we found him.
The day wouldn’t have been a success without him!!!

Married at the Fields at Willie Greens in MonroeHe takes full responsibility for everything at the reception, from the cake cutting to making sure the photographer is there for every important event. As a bride, this was amazing because I wanted no stress the day of my wedding and that’s exactly what that promise included.
Ellie and James Beckman
Married at Lord Hill Farms“We loved how personal you made the whole day feel and how you included everything we wanted”
We chose Alan because of his enthusiasm, his engaging and charismatic personality and the fact that he takes full responsibility for the reception. He was fantastic, engaging and all of our friends and family LOVED him! Also, he totally took responsibility for the reception which I loved.
He totally made the day about us and what we told him we wanted. He made it super personal, sweet and went with the flow which was amazing.
I loved that he met with us for almost 2 hours while planning for our reception. I LOVED the introduction of the wedding party, I had never seen that before and everyone loved it. It made it so personal and helpful for those who don’t know us a ton to get a glimpse of the people we surround ourselves with. He definitely had great advice as far as getting people down the aisle. Also, the shoe game was a fantastic idea. I had seen it once at a wedding and it was awkward so I was pretty hesitant to do it, but Alan made the game so fun and entertaining for the guests. People still remind me how fun that was for them to watch.
Alan was completely professional the entire time. He took the job very seriously but had so much fun.
We’ve had several people say “it felt like I was listening to my favorite playlist on my ipod!”
He was fantastic. I loved how he made everyone feel included in the day. He was funny, charismatic and all around great to listen to.
We originally weren’t going to have a DJ because of the cost, but Alan was an inexpensive option. Looking back on it now I would pay so much more for his services because of the quality he provides.
Honestly, our wedding was the best day of my life for so many reasons. it was just a really fun party with all of my closest friends and family and Alan played a huge role making that happen. He made sure that everyone that we wanted to have happened, he played all of our music requests, he included all of our guests in the reception.
I’ve already recommended him to several friends. The biggest thing that led me to choosing Alan was that he told us he takes full responsiblity for everything at the reception, from the cake cutting to making sure the photographer is there for every important event. As a bride this was amazing because I wanted no stress the day of my wedding and that’s exactly what that promise included.
James and I were amazed with your DJ and MC skills. We loved how personal you made the whole day feel and how you included everything we wanted. Thank you for all you did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.
Ellie and James Beckman
Married at Lord Hill farmsThe event felt like us.
Thanks for helping to make our big day so special. We wanted tunes that reflected our personalities, down-to-earth and off beat take to our wedding day. You helped us to nail it!
The dance floor was full. Everyone had a fantastic time. And the event felt like us. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Cheers!
p.s. Everyone keeps asking how you managed to pull off the BNSF train horn, perfectly timed as we were leaving the ceremony to Johnny and June singing singing “Jackson”? Now THAT is some serious audio pre-planning.
Jessie Israel and Matt King
Married at the Golden Gardens bathhouse“The day of the wedding, EVERYONE was dancing and having a blast!”
My husband and I met up with Alan and decided the same day that he was going to be the DJ for our wedding. He is such a friendly man. He worked with us to make sure he played music that we wanted.
He made tons of suggestions, which made it easy for us to make all the decisions. The day of the wedding, EVERYONE was dancing and having a blast!
People are still talking about how much fun they had at the wedding, how the music was awesome and how the dance floor was always full- which was exactly what we wanted!
He also made sure that the time line was running as planned, which is very helpful.
Thank you for bringing the fun to our wedding 😀 !!!
Marcelle and Bryan Carlile
Married at Wild Rose Weddings in Arlington“He took a lot of stress off of us during the wedding”
Alan is great to work with. You can tell he has a lot of experience and loves what he does.
He was very helpful right off the bat.
He is great at supporting you in finding how you want things done based on all the possibilities.
He was crucial day of the wedding as he coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything was running smoothly. He also coordinated with us without being pushy.
He took a lot of stress off of us during the wedding.
Julie and John Meyer
Married at Lake Wilderness Lodge“He was a major part in our day being so fun and lively (the dance floor was never empty)”
We hired Alan to DJ our wedding. Great decision.
As I’m writing this I am on the phone with my Mother-in-Love who has spent the last 10 minutes raving about Alan and his work.
We were very pleased with Alan (music and MC). Most of all I appreciate that he comes from professional background.
He handles himself in a business manner (professional-promptly answered emails, phone calls, etc), but understands that the events he DJ’s are very personal to the clients and each one has its own flavor.
He was the one who helped us figure out the timing for our wedding events (grand entrance, cake cutting, etc.) He was a major part in our day being so fun and lively (the dance floor was never empty).
I have already passed on his name/number to a friend who is giving it to her friend (our wedding was just a few weeks ago).
Mara and Nick Vogt
Married at the Hollywood Schoolhouse“Never a down moment or guests wondering what was coming next”
My first call to Alan cemented our decision, as he was very nice, informative, and fairly priced for what we needed.
He had great/useful advice.
He played great music that our guests all commented on favorably. He kept the flow of the day going so well.
Everyone said that our wedding was the best they had ever been to. Alan was a big part of that for us. Never a down moment or guests wondering what was coming next. He was exceptional.
I would say without question, hire Alan and relax knowing that he knows exactly how to bring your big day off!
Thank you Alan, you made mine and Kim’s day perfect!
Kim and Robert duRosier
Married at the Arctic Club in SeattleWhat I love most about Alan was his genuine care about how he could make the event a memorable one for both us and our guests. Even several days before our wedding, Alan voluntarily called us to check up on the details and even offered to bring additional lights and an outdoor speaker that could help improve the ambiance.
Joop and Jason Onoda
Married at the Georgetown Ballroom“He was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding”
5+++ Stars!! Working with Alan from the Puget Sound DJ is by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding this past weekend!
Even in the beginning of our communications, Alan was always very prompt in answering our questions or concerns (we always heard back from him within 12 hours of sending him an e-mail, most of the time even earlier than that!).
When we first had our initial meeting with Alan to discuss roughly what we would like for our wedding, we knew we found the right person. Alan is very knowledgeable in not only the different types of music but also how the wedding events flow. He’s really the best with not just as a DJplaying your favorite type of music but also as an MC who can make your event a memorable one (in a good way!).
On the day of our wedding, Alan even worked directly with our officiant and our venue person to make sure that our ceremony and reception went as smoothly as possible. In addition to that, he also made sure to work with our photographers so that they could help capture the moments for us with the best possible lighting.
What I love most about Alan was his genuine care about how he could make the event a memorable one for both us and our guests. Even several days before our wedding, Alan voluntarily called us to check up on the details and even offered to bring additional lights and an outdoor speaker that could help improve the ambiance. We were so thankful for his kindness. There were also soooo many aspects and details of our wedding event that, if it wasn’t because of Alan’s suggestions and perfect facilitation, the event wouldn’t have turned out as well as it did.
We HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Alan! He was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding event and we were extremely happy with how the event turned out.
Even my friend who happened to be planning a wedding elsewhere for her sister loved what Alan did and plans on incorporating the details that Alan suggested in her sister’s destination wedding.
If you wanted somebody who not only plays good music but also cares about how to make your event the best that it can be, pick Puget Sound DJ! It’s hard to go wrong with someone as dedicated and detail oriented as Alan is. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN ALAN! We love working with you!
Joop and Jason Onoda
Married at the Georgetown Ballroom“He cared about us first, which is hard to find in the wedding vendor community”
Alan and Puget Sound DJ did a fantastic job as the DJ for our rehearsal dinner and wedding in Seattle!
We had a baseball-themed wedding, which took place at Safeco Field, and Alan was the perfect fit for this event. His passion for baseball, professionalism as a highly trained DJ, and flexibility with our complicated logistical requirements, really helped to improve the quality of our event, and he was a joy to work with.
There are a lot of DJs in the Seattle area who care more about their paycheck than about their customers, and Alan was the exact opposite. He cared about us first, which is hard to find in the wedding vendor community.
We highly recommend Alan and Puget Sound DJs for your wedding DJ needs!
Patty and Manish Gaudi
Married at Safeco Field“…an invaluable part of what made our reception so much fun”
Thank you for the note, the pictures and for everything!
I can say with absolutely no doubt that our day would not have been as amazing without you. You were an invaluable part of what made our reception so much fun!
Thank you.
Tania Melo and Rachel Townsend
Married on the M.V. SkansoniaAfter a major storm prevented my maid of honor from making the wedding, he worked tirelessly to come up with a solution to make her present virtually. I was both surprised and overjoyed to walk into my reception and see my best friend on an iPad and a projector as they tested out the technology. Later in the evening, my MoH was able to give her toast from 3,000 miles away.
Margeaux and Jonah Hoskins
Married at the University of Washington Founder's Club“My husband and I danced virtually all night and had a blast”
“I cannot recommend Alan’s services enough. He is a consummate professional who is client-centered and cares about your event’s success. I interviewed a ton of DJs, all of whom were high pressure and high priced – at times, I felt like I was dealing with car salespeople. Our experience with Alan was a very welcome departure from that experience. Prior to our booking, Alan did an extensive phone consult with me. Later, my husband and I met with Alan and knew instantly that we had found our DJ. He knows his craft and it showed in that first meeting.
In our experience, Alan goes above and beyond to make your day complete. After a major storm prevented my maid of honor from making the wedding, he worked tirelessly to come up with a solution to make her present virtually, and he was a truly comforting presence in a hectic time. I was both surprised and overjoyed to walk into my reception and see my best friend on an iPad and a projector as they tested out the technology. Later in the evening, my MoH was able to give her toast from 3,000 miles away (even if the venue’s wireless was spotty at times). Without Alan’s hard work and dedication to his clients, none of that would have been possible – I will truly remember that experience forever.
As far as the music at the wedding proper is concerned, my guests were really pleased with the music selections throughout the night. We gave him a roadmap of music we liked, and he read the room accordingly. His suggestions for what we should do throughout the night such as choosing a song to close the evening or play the Shoe Game were on-point and very well received. My husband and I danced virtually all night and had a blast.Alan treats his clients as friends and, by extension, will certainly work hard to make your event a success. Between the rain and the missing bridal party, our event could have been a disaster. Thanks to Alan and our other vendors, it was perfect!”
Margeaux and Jonah Hoskins
Married at the University of Washington Founder's Club“Not only is he a great guy, he really made our wedding the wedding we had hoped it would be!”
Alan is AMAZING! We were planning a NYE wedding all the way from Dallas, TX. When we first reached out to him, he got back to us quickly and since we lived in Dallas at the time, he found time in the following days to call us on the phone so we could all talk in person.
Alan went above and beyond to make sure that we felt that we had all we needed from the start. He gave us tons of recommendations for vendors, was quick to respond to any questions, and really made sure our wedding was personalized to meet our needs. He made sure we had the music we wanted and even was creative enough to create fun and engaging introductions for each of the members in our wedding party!
He is personable, organized, fun, outgoing, prompt, experienced, and went above and beyond all our wishes!
He was more than just a DJ! Alan was very helpful in our planning. He was very honest about our timeline and gave advice on how to fit in everything we wanted. We didn’t hire a wedding planner and so he graciously offered to help us with our timeline and even made sure everything flowed smoothly on the night of our wedding.
Because it was NYE, we had our photographer leave around 10pm and a Photo Booth arrived to last us into the new year. Well… we all ended up on the bow of the ship (our wedding was on a ferry boat) to watch the fire works off the Space Needle at midnight and guess who was right there with a professional camera?! Alan! We are so happy we got to capture this moment. He truly is a man of all trades.
We had planned to wrap up our wedding around 1:00am. As 1:00am approached, we knew we didn’t want the party to end and Alan said he would love to stay later. We were ecstatic!
Our wedding was amazing. It was really the wedding we had dreamed about!
I cannot say enough good things about Alan! His price is way more than reasonable for his services! He is wonderful! Hire him! Not only is he a great guy, he really made our wedding the wedding we had hoped it would be!
Amy and Patrick McDonald
Married on the M.V. Skansonia“He asked us questions that we didn’t even think about”
We were so pleased with Alan as our DJ.
The music was perfect! Better than we could have even thought of for ourselves. Alan really took the time and effort to know what we wanted…and it turned out great!
Alan is so knowledgeable and helpful! He asked us questions that we didn’t even think about. He also had great ideas and recommendations for our special day! He takes the time up front to meet with you and get to know who you are and your tastes about music.
We would definitely recommend Alan and his services! If you are looking for a DJ that will take the time to get to know you and what you are looking for…then Alan is your choice! Thanks for helping to make our wedding perfect!
Jen and Jamie Wirick-Palmer
Married at 1927 Events in Seattle“He commanded attention without being overwhelming or becoming the center of attention”
Hiring Alan was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding day. We were originally going to just use an ipod for music, but I got cold feet about 6 weeks before thinking the ipod was a mistake. We ended up finding and booking Alan barely a month before and from that second on, I was so relieved.
Alan had a lot of experience and therefore a lot of knowledge of what worked and what didn’t. Alan listened to our tastes and our desires for what we wanted while simultaneously helping to guide us make good decisions about our reception program. Alan has the planning process down to a T, he asked me questions about things I hadn’t even thought of!
Using his website, my fiance and I had hours of fun picking the exact songs we wanted.
We collaborated pretty closely as the wedding approached to make sure we were on the same page for the reception. Alan was very knowledgeable and professional. Alan knew what we were going for and made it a very good experience. He had several pieces of advice from his vast experience that we took into consideration. I appreciated the input!
I felt that Alan had a good understanding of who we were and the vision of what we wanted. Alan really spent the time to get to know us, and put careful thought into how he was going to do our wedding, it wasn’t just another job for him. Even the day of, we had some unexpected events when a family member hired a surprise Mariachi band to preform for several hours without telling anyone. Alan was able to adjust our music plan on the fly and so graciously worked through that hurdle.
I loved all the personal touches he added, I never would of guessed he would of picked up some phrases in Spanish to throw out!
Music, timing, volume, was all appropriate. He played the right songs at the right times, picking up slight hints from the crowd. We had a particularly hard group to read for music tastes and he did a wonderful job adjusting on the fly.
Alan had a good understanding of our tastes, as well as a good understanding of old favorites that the crowd would like. He commanded attention without being overwhelming or becoming the center of attention. I felt that the wedding and reception went well. Alan did a good job facilitating the festivities, keeping us on track, and making sure the reception went smoothly.
Our wedding went great, if we had gone with our original plan of just an ipod, I don’t think the mood would of been near as party-like. Even things I didn’t think about like the lights made such a difference. I ended up feeling relieved being hands off the whole night, instead of worrying about someone touching the ipod or what if it stopped. I never realized how many different directions I was going to be pulled, and I thought I was going to be able to do it all. I am SO glad we went with the decision to hire a professional, and more so glad we were able to work with Alan.
Alan was amazing, I don’t think another dj would of been so patient or flexible with a hard-to-please crowd like ours. The personal touches he added to everything, made all the hours over the phone planning so worth it. I truly felt like he cared about our day and it wasn’t just another job to him.
I’d say that Alan did a good job for us and would be a good choice for anyone that needed a DJ. Alan, thanks for making our wedding reception such a success.

Nikole and Albert Kelly
Married at Daybreak Star Cultural Center in Seattle“Personally committed” does not come close to describing the level of service we received. In paying for DJ services, we received a wedding planner, day-of coordinator, MC, and DJ all in one. Based on multiple in-person meetings and phone calls, Alan truly took the time to tailor our perfect day, bending to our will when necessary and offering priceless advice when needed
Alyson and Brian Weiss
Married at Lake Union Cafe in Seattle“The photographer, videographer, and event staff were all coordinated to be in the right place at the right time to capture our special moments”
We loved the assistance in planning both the ceremony and reception, and our special evening was better than we could have imagined. Alan did more that live up to our expectations – he surpassed them.
“Personally committed” does not come close to describing the level of service we received. In paying for DJ services, we received a wedding planner, day-of coordinator, MC, and DJ all in one. Based on multiple in-person meetings and phone calls, Alan truly took the time to tailor our perfect day, bending to our will when necessary and offering priceless advice when needed.
Absolutely everything Alan offered was not only helpful, but also delivered in such a way that conveyed sincere interest in both meeting our needs and ensuring our day was memorable and enjoyable.
Alan was well-dressed, polite and warm to all guests, and was genuine in his desire to put on a perfect evening.
Every single person at our wedding danced, and everyone was raving about the party for months after.
Of all his talents, I’d say Alan shines the most as MC (even over DJ). Folks delivering toasts were coached ahead of time. The photographer, videographer, and event staff were all coordinated to be in the right place at the right time to capture our special moments. Attendees knew when their attention was needed and where to be for all of the night’s events.
The price was right for a DJ alone. Add to that the additional level of service we got with the planning and day-of coordination, and I’d say we got away with a steal.
Alan was instrumental in ensuring our wedding was absolutely perfect. It most certainly would not have been nearly as perfect had we gone with any other DJ. I would recommend Alan for any event, large or small.

Married at Lake Union Cafe in SeattleThe night of our rehearsal, our Officiant was not able to attend. I was about to have a heart attack. But one call to Alan from this pleading bride and he so kindly filled in, in his absence. That was such a huge relief for myself and my husband.
Chrissy and Chris Sutter
Married at Woodland Meadows Farm“Alan was very professional, kind and had a great sense of humor”
Alan listened to us. Alan cared about our opinions and how we wanted our day to go. He took time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple.
Alan absolutely lived up to our expectations. We felt that Alan was very committed.
Alan was so amazing when it came to the planning process. He was very organized both with his website and when we met to discuss how the day would go. This especially appealed to me, the bride. During the planning process he was able to break everything down into 15 minutes increments for how our wedding day was going to go. This made the process a much less daunting task.
He was very professional. Equipment was in excellent working order and set up to accommodate everything we needed.
He followed all our requests, which had to have been challenging with both our different tastes in music. Chris and I were very pleased with the music choices, timing and volume.
Ultimately, we did not want a cheesy MC. Alan was definitely not cheesy.
We did not have a wedding planner or day of planner but that didn’t phase Alan. He was able to navigate the ceremony and reception with ease.
We feel we got more than what we paid for in choosing Alan to be our wedding DJ/MC.
Looking back, my husband and I have very fond memories of our wedding day. Pretty much everything went just as planned. Without Alan, our wedding day would not have gone so smoothly. He took charge when needed but then blended in the background. Alan was very professional, kind and had a great sense of humor.
The night of our rehearsal, our Officiant was not able to attend. I was about to have a heart attack. But one call to Alan from this pleading bride and he so kindly filled in, in his absence. That was such a huge relief for myself and my husband.
Alan is very accommodating, experienced and equally professional. You can definitely put your trust into Puget Sound DJ.
Alan was so helpful and easy to work with. He had every moment of the wedding planned out and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. He went above and beyond to make our day special.
Chrissy and Chris Sutter
Married at Woodland Meadows Farm“Keeping our crazy group on track is almost impossible but you pulled it off!”
Alan is the best! The level of detail and effort that Alan put in to making our day perfect was amazing. The best part of our day was the ceremony. We had all parents and bridal party dance down the isle to Happy and I with my father danced down to Best Day of My Life.
Everything was prefect. When it came to the exit, well that was a surprise and yet again it was perfect! The famous James Brown danced is out! I feel good was exactly right.
At the reception, Alan kept the party going all night. I recommend that everyone play the shoe game. So many of our guests commented how much they loved the game too!
Thank you Alan for the most amazing day, keeping our crazy group on track is almost impossible but you pulled it off!
Gini White and Anton Gatal
Married on Camano Island“Alan made it so that we didn’t have to worry about anything”
He seemed really experienced, passionate about music, and was willing to work within our set budget. The music was great that night and we loved the flow of our wedding.
We felt like he was most definitely committed to making our day special.
He definitely helped in knowing the reception timeline and how long each portion would take. That was really helpful.
Very professional, and we loved how he took care of all the needs for both the ceremony and the reception. We also loved all the lights he brought to the reception.
He had a great idea of the crowd and when to introduce the newer music or when to play the family friendly music.
Our wedding was what we envisioned, and Alan made it so that we didn’t have to worry about anything.
He is really experienced with weddings, does a great job of keeping the flow/energy going, and was exactly what we were looking for.
Thanks Alan!

Married at Hidden Meadows“Alan is very passionate and will strive to do a great job”
Alan has been in the business awhile and is very passionate about his career.
We felt Alan was personally committed. Alan was very professional. He was on-time and came prepared.
Music options were spot on!
Alan was very upbeat and positive.
Our wedding day/night was fantastic. We were incredibly pleased with our vendors, including Alan.
Alan is very passionate and will strive to do a great job.
Martha and Brian Bauer
Married at the Crystal Lake Lodge in Woodinville“All the timing seemed perfect, everyone was very engaged and dancing”
I was hesitant to have a DJ as I am very particular about music and cheesy MCs. Alan was quick to respond and met with us in person multiple times. You could tell he wanted to make sure that he was the right fit for us. He took a lot of time to really connect with us personally and make sure he knew our exact wishes.
Alan was very attentive to our thoughts, wishes, and ideas. Although we had a few somewhat off-the-wall and extremely specific requests, he took the time to learn what we were specifically interested in and how he could match our expectations. Couldn’t have been happier with outcome.
He was connected with us, spent time preparing, seemed to be really feeling the vibe and matching our attendees’ demeanor.
Alan talked us out of some bad ideas and into some great ones. Especially with the introductions and timing of events – including the games he suggested – everything he thought of was great.
Musically, Alan seemed to stick very closely to our suggestions. He matched very specific and quirky requests with limited input from us with just what we were hoping for. The opening jazz music was especially great. (He totally deflected some rude comments from our guests and deferred to us when they wanted to play an inappropriate song from our past. Massive kudos to anyone who can shoot down our Irish family.)
As an MC, he did a great job. Rehearsed, timely, reactive, no worries.
It went great and I’m certain that Alan had a huge role in that. All the timing seemed perfect, everyone was very engaged and dancing.
I would strongly recommend him, especially to someone who is a little persnickety about music. Thank you so much for everything you put into this Alan! You made it a great day.
Niamh and Colin Petkus
Married at the Mount Baker Center in Seattle“He makes the vision of the day happen”
“We planned our wedding in Seattle while living in California. To cut costs we decided against having a wedding planner. Without a wedding planner, we knew that we had to make careful decisions with selecting our vendors as they would really assist us in making sure the day went smoothly.
We saw our DJ as our most important vendor. We wanted our day to be FUN and seamless. When we spoke to Alan, he listened intently to our vision of our wedding day, was witty and professional. He understood our concerns with planning a wedding from a different state and immediately eased many of our concerns. Bottom line was that we felt extremely comfortable and confident that Alan would do a great job.
Alan exceeded our expectations in every way. Our day was perfect.Alan is a very authentic and genuine person which transcends into his professional work.. We felt as if Alan genuinely cared for us and wanted our day to be absolutely perfect!
Alan’s professionalism was top notch.
At our wedding, we had 2 year olds and 82 year olds. And we wanted EVERYONE to have a good time and that started with getting people on the dance floor. We told Alan that we wanted to get everyone our there dancing and he made it happen. We discussed our playlist ideas, but we didn’t want to micro-manage Alan. We felt comfortable with allowing Alan to read the crowd and make decisions. After all, this is his profession!The reception was EPIC. Literally. Such a fun time and I saw every single person on the dance floor.
Alan as an MC was perfect! He is a great communicator, witty and confident! He can control a crowd. He put a lot of thought into the flow of a reception did a great job explaining things to us before the big day.Alan was scheduled until 11pm. The night was so epic that we wanted the party to continue. We asked Alan about playing on and he said yes without hesitation! We expected that he would invoice us later, but he did it without a charge!
Alan was a KEY piece in our wedding day. The day was absolutely perfect and we had at least 20 people tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Absolutely perfect!Alan is by far the best DJ I’ve ever come across. Not because he can scratch and mix, but because he makes the vision of the day happen! He takes it seriously. I would HIGHLY suggest Alan as a DJ.”
