Loved the service received!

A Ran Music service was raved about after the wedding was over! They kept everyone dancing and the vibe upbeat! They also created a CD at the end of night with our songs we chose throughout the night. I am so glad we chose them for our DJ!

From that moment that we met with them we new that they were the vendor we wanted for our wedding. Nikki was so helpful and went out of her way to make sure that they had the songs that we wanted for our ceremony and reception. Our friends and family are still talking about how unique and amazing our wedding was. From the music at the ceremony, our first dance to the last dance and everything in between it was perfect. Thank you so much for making our wedding day everything that we wanted! Travis and Jeanne Maahs

DJs that honor diversity and give you a great time!!

A Ran Music Service was an absolute delight to work with and it’s so clear that the DJs at this company are deeply passionate about music! Initially, for our wedding, I wanted to cut costs by just having a spotify playlist running. However, after attending a few weddings with my now-husband , where the DJs were not always on their A-game, he insisted we absolutely had to hire a professional. Since we come from a Taiwanese background, I went on a deep-dive for DJs that could handle cultural music and making sure the dance floor was packed, when I stumbled upon A Ran. With a review below stating that they had honored another couple’s requests for Taiwanese and Korean music, I was sold.

Niki was so delightful to work with and so professional! Even when I was a little grumpy due to jetlag at one of our final meetings, she remained so kind, patient, and calm. She assured us that all we had to do on our big day was to just have fun, and they truly lived up to that! The sound systems were great the day of and the music was FANTASTIC! They went above and beyond in honoring our requests for Taiwanese music and did their due diligence to find the songs that I had sent to them, carefully comparing the Chinese characters in the song titles. As another example of them going above and beyond, my husband and I wanted to do a violin-piano duet and Niki graciously allowed us to borrow her personal keyboard for it, as the one we own is up in Canada. Finally, we were so worried that none of our friends and family would dance, but they again, lived up to their promise that the dance floor would be packed!! I saw my mom dancing, which I have NEVER seen before. Ran and Faylon were so lovely as well!

Hiring A Ran Music Service took such a huge mental load off of our minds and we are SO glad that we went with them instead of the spotify playlist! They excel at rolling with the punches and being flexible the day of, and the love that they have for their work permeates into the atmosphere of a wedding. I appreciated that they played the clean versions of songs, as we were worried that some songs may end up being too much or offending others, and they were so intentional in their song choices. We would highly recommend hiring A Ran Music Service for your wedding – you won’t regret the choice.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
