We hired Daley DJ's to provide ceremony musician , a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and to provide DJ equipment so our friend could DJ the reception. We could not have been happier! Liz was professional, helpful and flexible. The ceremony music was amazing, our guests were so impressed with the jazz trio and the DJ equipment worked well. We appreciated that they were willing to be flexible our needs and I would like to thank Liz, the musicians and the Daley DJ staff for making our wedding perfect and memorable!

Liz was a valuable asset to have before and during my wedding. Although she is on the more expensive side she is worth it. She is flexible and friendly, but don't get on her bad side. We had a few struggles with my venue and she was able to step right in and tell them that they were wrong. On my wedding day she battled to have my wedding stay outside where I wanted and not indoors. Luckily the rain held off :) Liz's sound system was state of the art and everyone had a great time. I really enjoyed working with her and wish I could again. I think that Liz pays attention to her customer's needs and doesn't just slap together a bunch of songs and call it day. Instead she makes sure you know what your getting and when your getting it. I would gladly do business with her again. She served as my master of ceremonies as well as my DJ and I would have been lost without her. Thanks Liz!!!

Liz Daley saved our wedding reception.

When we first met Liz, we were extremely impressed with both her emphasis on creating a personalized, successful reception dynamic and her enthusiasm. We planned extensively and in great detail and, when we had last minute suggestions and changes, she handled them with professionalism and aplomb.

On our wedding day, Liz's talents were put to the test, as we unfortunately experienced a significant problem with our reception venue. Despite the loss of the dance floor for a large portion of the evening and even the potential for injury to herself and damage to her equipment, Liz adapted, and made certain that our guests felt welcome. She mentioned during one of our planning sessions that she has a "show must go on" ethos, and we and our guests got to witness it in its full glory. Once we re-gained access to the dance floor, Liz made sure that everyone had a fantastic time.

We will forever be grateful to her for what she did. Her determination and skill saved the day. Other DJs would have thrown in the towel. The obstacles thrown in our way -- her way -- at our reception have one distinct positive: We got to see Liz at her best and she was awesome.

What can I say about Liz? She is simply amazing. If you are looking for someone to help you put together entertainment for your wedding that is based on your personality and dreams, and creates spectacular memories, she's the only one to call. Her service and professionalism? She took care of everything - we had no details to worry about. Her creativity and help were phenomenal. We enjoyed the planning process just as much as we enjoyed our wedding - and we had a blast at our wedding! Our guests have said we had "the wedding to beat" and my mom (who was upset at first when she heard we hired a dj), said on our wedding day that "Liz is family". You can shop around if you want to, but Liz is the one who will help you create your perfect wedding.

Liz is the best. She is fun to work with and really just wants your wedding to be as fun and special as she can make it for you. She is very easy to work with and is always willing to meet with you to talk about what you would like for the wedding. She does a wonderful Love Story for you that really helps to personalize the wedding. Many of our guest commented on how good our DJ was and how she keep the party going. She is so good at what she does that during the wedding you don't even realize how much she is helping with making sure all the different parts of the reception are going smoothly because of her.

Liz Daley was the perfect DJ for our September 25th Wedding in the Outer Banks! From the beginning, Liz gave us plenty of time and attention. Though she is a highly desired DJ in the area, she made us feel like our wedding was her top priority. She met with us in person several times before the wedding, and she was extremely quick at responding to e-mails and phone calls. She was also highly organized and helped us to plan out the wedding and reception time-line step by step. We had a nightmare situation with our caterer (Kim Epps). When the caterer informed me that she may not be able to make it to our wedding, Liz quickly eased my fears and provided me with plenty of plan B solutions just in case. Since she is so well known in the wedding industry, she has a lot of contacts outside of the DJ world, which was very comforting to us. Liz arrived to our wedding about 4 hours before the event to allow plenty of time for set up. We had originally planned an outside set-up around the pool, but it ended up pouring down rain. She was very flexible with moving her equipment inside the beach house. During the ceremony, my wedding coordinator (Kim Epps) was not doing her job once again, so Liz quickly stepped up to the plate and coordinated the ceremony for us. Throughout the evening, Liz went above and beyond all of our expectations. She was so good at reading the crowd and filling the dance floor. She also provided a great karaoke set-up later in the evening that everyone loved participating in. All of our wedding guests had a blast and to this day we still have guests coming up to us raving about how wonderful she was. We can't thank her enough for all of the work that she put into our wedding to make it magical. Thanks Liz!!!

DJ was very good in meeting with us repeatedly at her home in the months prior to the wedding in order to get a feel of what type music we enjoyed and what type crowd the wedding would be. We felt that she helped shape what we liked along with what usually works at weddings. Actual reception was less responsive, playing songs that we had specifically said not to play, playing versions of songs that we hadn't heard, and not listening to bride/groom requests. In speaking with guests, they were overall happy and the dance floor was occupied. However, my wife and I felt like our previous conversations had been partially ignored in interest of "what works", versus what the bride wants. She is a good DJ, just need to be very clear as to what songs must NOT be played, along with what versions of songs MUST be played. No detail too small.

Daley DJs responded with the following comments:

I am compelled to respond to this review based upon its numerous inaccuracies.

#1 Based upon the final approved agenda and playlist, every “must play” song was included and ALL “do not play” songs were excluded.

#2 The bride only had one request during the event, and that was to play more 80’s, which immediately happened.

(The entire event was video taped by me from the DJ booth, so the above statements can be verified)

It should be noted that the bride NEVER responded to any of my repeated phone calls or emails regarding the final agenda in the 30 days prior to the wedding. This final agenda included the “must play” list and “do not play” list. However, the groom did respond via email approving the agenda and the play list. He also encouraged me to “read the crowd” and do what I felt was best.

In reviewing the video, the only songs with multiple popular versions were “Cha Cha Slide” and “Shout”. It’s always good to be specific if you have a favorite version.

It should also be noted that during the time I was playing the alleged “do not play” selection. The bride and groom were captured on video, in the middle of the crowded dance floor - - - dancing - - - for the entire song.

The dance floor was packed the entire night, and the last 30 minutes of the party, which was all 80’s music, by request of the bride and groom, left the crowd singing along and asking for more.

We were not mentaly prepared for the cost of DJs but were very pleased with the value we received from Liz. We ended up with her instead of one of her employees and found her very helpful in exicuting the event, pacing the event and can't think of one person who didn't enjoy the wedding.

Liz was awesome!! She worked with us to give us everything we wanted. She offered alot of suggesetions of what works and what doesn't. She was very professional and went well beyond what was expected of her. In my opinion a DJ either makes or breaks a reception and Liz really made this reception! Everyone had a blast! We want to do it again!! Thanks Liz!!!

Liz was an exceptional DJ and wedding coordinator. Prior to the wedding she was more than generous with her time. The DJ and coordination was an important decision for us and she completly wowed us during our first meeting. Her creativity, class, knack for planning and overall knowledge of seemingly every aspect of the wedding is why we choose to book her for our wedding. Liz was extremly helpful with vendor recomendations and in helping us develop creative personal touches for our special day. Liz truly understood what type of reception that we were going for and exceeded our expectations. Guests are still raving about how much fun the wedding reception was and how the dance floor was packed all night long. We had everyone dancing from the childern to the grandparents and everyone in between. She was very responsive and handled the drunken groomsmen toasts and every other detail of the reception with class so that we were able to enjoy ourselves without thinking about the details. Highly recomend liz for your special day!

Liz was extremely professional, provided amazing guidance and helped to make our reception unique and perfectly fit to us as a couple. She was very flexible with our requests and ideas and helped us customize the experience to fit who we are. She went above and beyond her outlined duties by meeting with us upon request and assisting us with putting music to a slideshow, which she then performed live during the actual slideshow at the reception. She also added a personal touch to our first dance song by including our individual interview sound clips about one another. Liz also helped to plan out our schedule and helped maintain the schedule throughout the night. She ran the show behind the scenes and kept the party lively. Liz has the ability to make your night magical, memorable, and perfectly you!

Liz was AWESOME!!

We were very empressed with every aspect of her process. The pricing of her services were made immediately available. The initial meeting, Liz was very professional and patient with our questions. The final contract was flexible to allow more of her time if the reception was going over our time estimates. At the final planning meeting, Liz was fun to be with and very professional to be sure every detail was discussed. And most of all, the reception was fantastic and everyone had a GREAT TIME!!!! Liz did a beautiful job as master of ceremonies and is very in tuned to her audience.

We highly recommend Daley DJs.
