Our wedding

Drew was super easy to work with and very kind. He played great music the whole night and kept the dance floor alive just like we’d hoped for. He is also super flexible. He helped us with our ceremony when we had to make last minute adjustments and was easily able to pick up on the vibe of the night. My husband is military and for the final song he played a USA themed song in honor of my husband and his friends’ service. It was a perfect end to the night and everyone loved it. He also let us make last minute changes 2 nights before the wedding and executed it with perfection which we are extremely grateful for. The photobooth is also a must if you book with Drew. It’s super easy for everyone to use and a great way to get pictures with all your guests and create even more fun memories. Our guests were in it all night long if they weren’t on the dance floor. We cannot recommend Drew enough, if you need a DJ for an event book him!! 11/10.

summer wedding

Drew was fantastic to work with, he was very prompt and professional. The app used to curate the night was easy to use and helpful with customizing the night to our vibe. Drew did fantastic with all the announcing and made sure time frames were met. Our main goal was spending time with guests and he took all the thinking out of it. He orchestrated the whole night perfectly. We love music and dancing, Crimson Events does an amazing job, we had such a blast at our wedding. TY!!

Amazing DJ Experience

Drew with Crimson Events was truly one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. He made us feel comfortable and supported from our initial meeting where he really listened to what we wanted and asked good questions such as what we haven’t liked at other weddings or what level of involvement we expect a DJ to have in the wedding. After this initial attention to detail, we knew he was the DJ for us. Drew was extremely patient and kind throughout the whole planning process. He came to our final venue walk through which was awesome to meet him in person beforehand and he was super flexible with us because we were very delayed in letting him know the songs we wanted to use for the ceremony. He has a planning app which works great where you can input must plays, do not plays, etc and link the spotify music directly. We only filled this out the week of our wedding and Drew still knocked it out of the park. He made the logistics of the wedding flow very seamlessly and had all the right announcements and directions. And then most importantly, our wedding dance floor was incredible and more than exceeded our expectations. Drew played all of the songs we wanted and fed off the crowd. One of our friends told us that not a single song flopped and we agree. He kept the vibes up all night and truly made our wedding such a blast. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend him to anyone – thank you Drew!

The wedding of our dreams!

Drew was an exceptional DJ to work with. From the moment of booking, up until the moments before our ceremony, he was attentive, insightful, and engaging. Music and dancing were very important to us when planning our wedding and Drew delivered exactly what we had envisioned. We have received nothing but great feedback from all of our guests and the dance floor was never empty! I would recommend Crimson Events for anyone looking for an experienced DJ who knows how to capture your vision.

Fantastic Wedding DJ!

From our first conversation, Drew showed he genuinely cared about making our wedding day special. He stayed in touch with us constantly through multiple planning calls and a planning app, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. When we met with him at our final walk-through, it was clear they had paid attention to every detail we discussed. During the reception, he nailed the vibe we wanted by playing our song selections while seamlessly blending in tracks that kept the energy exactly where we needed it. Drew listened to what we wanted and delivered without compromise. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help us celebrate.

Our guest's favorite part of the night!

We rented the open air photobooth for our wedding kind of last minute & Drew made the process sooooo easy! There was a line formed during cocktail hour the second the photo booth was set up. Our guests had an absolute blast and the photos turned out so nice.

Crimson Events DJ - Amazing!!

We chose Crimson Events for our wedding DJ and wow, what an excellent choice that was! Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5+ stars!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
