Stop Scrolling... this is the DJ you want!

He is detailed oriented. He makes sure everything is on time and that your timeline is spot on. He keeps the crowd dancing and entertained. I thought he would just be playing music however everything he does is an art! He suggested things that I didn't even think of. He is very professional, fun and will make your special day spectacular! A+++++!!!! You need Big Daddy's Dream Machine at your wedding!

Darrin was very quick to respond, professional, and accommodating. I am very excited to work with him at my wedding in June. Thank you so much for making it easy to select a DJ when there are so many different options out there!

He's the best I was one of his first shows and I defiantly wouldn't trade it for anyone else! Thanks for everything you did to make our wedding night and reception amazing!

I attend as many public events as I can and that Darin's schedule allows (as he books up quickly during prime wedding months). Darrin always draws a great group of followers, with great attitudes and that want to have fun. Having fun is an understatement with Darrin, having a blast is more like it. It's always a downfall when the evening has to end, but he leaves us with knowledge of future dates to attend his shows. He does an excellent job of combining karaoke and his famous 'dance music' part of the show. Whether you are a rhinestone cowboy & karaoke diva, or just want to sing a classic 'Loveshack', or you are from out of town and no one knows you so you want to cut loose- Darrin is your dj.
If you prefer a dj that sits behind a table of equipment, with ehh-so so lighting and effects, who doesn't do much talking on the mic (and when they do it is not personable and can't understand what they are saying), someone who doesn't listen to your requests and can't continuously play songs to keep your party going then Darrin is not your guy.
The equipment combination produces great sound along with his musical abilitity to turn a knob here or there to perfect the sound. He speaks enthusiastically and clearly on mic so your guests will know everything that is hopping that you want to share with them. He mingles amongst the guests cracking jokes and sharing small talk so everyone 'feels' included. I truly feel you will not be disappointed with Darrin being a locally owned and operated entertainment specialist. Good luck
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
