Amazing DJ!!!! Hire him! :)

Adrian was an amazing DJ - we had a blast and our guests had so much fun. He got folks dancing who had danced in years! Our families are Lebanese and Argentine, and the music really brought us all together! He was also very flexible and understanding for our unique requests. At the end of the night, he kindly extended his time by 30 minutes to help round out the evening. That was the perfect amount of time and a great way to end the night. Thank you Adrian!

Roaring 20s Indeed!

Adrian was an amazing wedding DJ. He was very responsive and understood exactly what we wanted for our themed 1920s wedding. We provided a playlist and Adrian gave good suggestions for both cocktail hour and reception dancing. He even helped us get a saxophonist to play for our wedding as well! He knew exactly the vibe we were going for.

Excellent DJ!

Adrian was the DJ for our wedding and did an amazing job! First off, he is very professional and I felt at ease as he asked very detailed questions about the setup, locations, speakers and music preferences. We had live music and Adrian worked with our wedding planner to make this go off without a hitch. He got the vibe right and the dance floor moving, I highly recommend Bay Area Beats!
