DJ Sota Entertainment was amazing! Dakota and his team are with you the entire way. From the moment I hired them until the end of my wedding, they were helpful, accommodating, and there every step of the way. They had great ideas for me and took every single one of my requests. I had DJ Dave as my DJ and MC for my wedding. He played all the music I asked for, had my guests on their feet and dancing and at the end of the night all my guests were raving about how amazing he was. I also had a photo booth there and Jason was amazing too. Jason handled a crowded and demanding line of photo booth goers with ease. He had props, music, and lights in the photo booth and made each experience unique. I would recommend Dakota and his team to any bride in need of a great DJ and photo booth. Thanks to them foraging my wedding entertaining, fun. And memorable.

Working with DJ Sota entertainment was great. DJ Sota was always very helpful throughout the whole planing process. He was not the DJ playing at my wedding, but he helps a lot with different details needed for the day of the wedding. The DJ at our wedding was DJ Diego who was great at playing most of the songs we requested, and made our wedding super fun!!

We had DJ Sota for our wedding on March 30, 2013 and I can only say that he is an amazing DJ. First the Music selection was great...We left the selections up to DJ Sota and he guided us on which types of music that should be played during each setting. Second Timeline, the weeks heading up to the wedding we starting making our timeline for the reception and DJ Sota contacted us and gave us recommendations to how it could flow better. He also coordinated with the reception location, photographer and videographer to make sure that all the special events like first dance, flower toss, anniversary dance, and cake cutting would be synched with them so that those special events won't be missed. DJ Sota kept it upbeat by bringing in different types of music from oldies to current selections so that the guests from all ages would enjoy the dance floor. He even got the dance floor started by having people come to the dance floor to do special dances like the harlem shake, cha cha slide, electirc slide, and cupid shuffle. He even got onto the dance floor to show everyone how to do it which was highly appreciated. All in all our wedding went great and I really think alot of it had to do with DJ Sota being able to coordinate everything with our other venders and more importantly being able to keep the wedding upbeat. My wife and I highly recommend him and we mean do truly mean it.
PS my sister in law is getting married in November and she booked DJ Sota for her wedding too.

DJ Sota Entertainment provided up lighting for my reception. The up lighting gave the room the extra touch it needed and made it more beautiful. It took the room to the next level and looked great in all the photos! He was very professional and worked well with my wedding planner and his team.

DJ Sota was AMAZING! He is young, fun and hip, but not to be lacking any professionalism, punctuality and performance. He is very knowledgeable about music selection and is up to date with his accessibility. He suggested my ceremony song and I immediately cried! So I was very comfortable in trusting him with song selections and knowing I was in good hands. It's so nice to be able to text, call or email him and get a speedy response every time. My guests loved that he was a great MC, taking song requests and he nailed the timing with each event. His voice and mannerism were perfect! He offered THE BEST value package too, he couldn't be beat. Trust me, you will be very happy with DJ Sota! He really made our wedding day!

Dakota was one of the first vendors in a line of wedding vendor experiences and he definitely got us started out right. He has a very professional and personable demeanor and we instantly connected with him. He was upfront with his services and how he could help us enhance the reception with lighting, music, and other elements. We knew after meeting with him that he would be our DJ. As we got closer to our wedding day, he presented us with a lengthy (but super informative) packet of song ideas with our event information to fill out. This also consisted of all of the details he needed to know but that we never would have thought of on our own. He listened to our needs, made suggestions based on us as individuals and the type of wedding we were having, and more importantly, he proved himself on the day of- our guests had a great time and we got to hear all of the key songs we had requested. Two additional things that stood out for us-- On our RSVP cards we left a line for guests to fill out that said "I promise to dance if you play___" We got quite the mix and somehow Dakota managed to slip in the important ones at just the right time. We also had several guests request the money dance during the reception, which we had initially said no to. Dakota came up to us during the night to get our permission to do this because of all of the requests. We really felt like he had our best interests in mind and wanted to give us a great wedding experience. The true litmus test- our guests danced until the music stopped; even my 93 year old grandma got out on the dance floor!

DJ Sota Entertainment far surpassed my expectations from a vendor at my wedding. Dakota just had knee surgery, so he sent DJ Sal in his place to work my ceremony and reception and he played all the music we liked and tailored the playlist to what the guests reacted to. It was perfect!!

I first heard of DJ Sota while working wedding with Paige Ashlyn Weddings and Events. Watching Dakota work from the vendor side won me over and I knew that when my day came, there was no one else I'd rather hire to DJ/ MC my wedding.

DJ Sal did a phenomenal job and I'd use and refer them to everyone I know. You can't go wrong with this company. Dakota goes above and beyond, providing his own detailed timeline and also makes himself available throughout your planning process to help with the music selections. I was a little unsure of what to pick at first and at the initial meeting, he played a few different versions of the wedding march, which I had my heart set on walking down the aisle to. He has it ALL!!

When it came time to dance, the music was a hit! DJ Sota Entertainment MADE my reception. The ambiance was kept fun and upbeat, just the way it should be.

Dakota DJ'ed at our wedding and I am so pleased that our guests had a fantastic time thanks to how well he MC'ed and kept the flow going from beginning to end. The music selection was very important to us, we had a very particular nostalgic/laid-back theme and Dakota was able to put together a song list that was right on the ball with what we were looking for. He gave us valuable feedback and suggestions, all of which we would never have thought about or even considered on our own. Dakota kept everything professional, organized, upbeat, and he even went the extra mile to work hand-in-hand with our wedding coordinating team on the day-of to ensure a perfectly executed event. It's really rare to have a DJ that is keen on the details and Dakota is just that!

I used DJ Sota and one of the DJ's that work for him, DJ Dave and they both went above and beyond my expectations for the event. They were both very professional and brought a great energy to both my wedding and also my work holiday party. I would recommend them both to anyone!

Dakota did a great job! He kept the party lively throughout and really made the night special for both of us. He also provided lighting that helped make our space more inviting. The song selection was great and he managed to get everyone on the dance floor, even those who were a bit shy. We had a great time and Dakota was a major reason.

Dakota's excellent performance left me, my new bride, and our families all in awe after our wedding. Our "wedding coordinator" contact at our venue ended up disappearing and doing nothing for most of the day, and Dakota stepped up and kept us on schedule and the wedding moving. He could do this because he actually sat down and went through our whole wedding with us for an hour a few days before the wedding, down to phonetically spelling the names of our wedding party for the grand entrance. He even drove to our venue to check it out for his set up! While many DJ's are obnoxious and annoying, DJ Sota encouraged people to get out on the dance floor and have fun, even at our hot, daytime wedding, all the while being professional and classy, as well as fun.
To sum up: book DJ Sota Entertainment. I'm telling everyone I know that he is quite simply the best in the business. For professionalism, class, peace of mind and an excellent wedding day experience, you can't do better than DJ Sota Entertainment.

No matter how well you plan a wedding, no matter how beautiful the venue, how perfect the cake looks, and how fantastic the flowers are, all of that can go to waste if the MC is not able to tie it all together. That is what DJ Sota did on our magical night. He played the perfect music, got people out on the dance floor and he kept the whole night in order. The night started late due to other reasons and he was able to adjust and make the necessary adjustments so the whole night was seamless.

The success of our wedding night was a great balance of the right vendors and DJ Sota came highly recommended to us and I have no problems recommending him to anyone who is looking to have a magical night to remember.
