Can't speak highly enough for DJ Dave of Ascent DJ Productions. DJ Dave was the DJ and MC at our wedding in June 2023 at the North Lake Tahoe Event Center. DJ Dave came recommended by our wedding planners, who curate a cream-of-the-crop vendor list, of which DJ Dave was at the top for their events. DJ Dave is top-notch, uber professional DJ and MC, and encyclopedic in his music knowledge. DJ Dave provided a template document of songs needed for the wedding event. Anxious about how to approach this, we put together a few Spotify playlists that were "of the ilk" or "in spirit" or the genre/styles of music we wanted for cocktail hours, dinner, and dancing. We were shy about the wedding music, knowing the kind of music we like, but also not necessarily being the person with the iPod or running Spotify at parties.... and also not knowing what songs we wanted for particular moments (ie, walking down the aisle!). DJ Dave was a patient and wise steward! About 10 days out from our event, we had nearly a 3 hour phone call with DJ Dave going step-by-step through the event. It was a SUPER fun back and forth that had us all rattling off songs and genres and then altogether singing along! He helped us re-vamp the playlist for dinner. Importantly, DJ Dave help set the context and scene for how the wedding day would go, each part of the event -- whether people would be up and chatting and the music needed to be more background, or else people would be dancing and rowdy and we need the music to bring the party! Altogether, DJ Dave MCd a perfect wedding day. He was cool, calm, collected, amazing organized, kept the day on schedule, moved the party between two different rooms at the venue seamlessly. He had speakers for inside, speakers for outside, lights, lapels, microphones, and more. Everything worked on the first go -- not a single blunder or blip. It could not have been a more professional set-up. Above all else, DJ Dave brought the dance party! Folks were on the dance floor from the first song to the last. Every song built on the one prior, feeling the energy of the crowd.

DJ Dave of Ascent DJ Productions is the best in the Basin. If you're hosting an event, professional AND fun, and you want to sit back and ENJOY the day, DJ Dave is your go-to.

Dave is such a great DJ to work with. He made everything every easy and was willing to attend our boring, long pre -wedding zoom. His guidance was a big part of the success of the wedding. AND, the music was great!

Dave was the DJ and MC at our wedding, and we had an amazing experience from start to end. He took the time to plan every part of the wedding with us, including many thing we hadn't even thought about. Much of our wedding planning was very last-minute due to an unexpected venue change one month out, and Dave was very flexible and helpful through everything. He patiently worked with us as we planned things out, giving great advice and accommodated a number of special requests. Before the wedding even started, we felt at peace knowing that Dave had everything under control. In the end, he had the perfect vibe for our wedding - relaxed but also very upbeat and fun. We highly recommend Dave!
