Would hire again in a heartbeat

Fantastic experience from start to finish!  Dave was really professional, asked a lot of great questions and really took the lead when I had no idea where to start.  The music was so good, and I know he spent time prepping the playlist.
His questions helped organize me and keep the event (my 60th birthday) on track.  I highly recommend Dave and would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Dave also had equipment (lights, speakers, etc) that helped make the event extra special.

Just book him already!

Dave and Johanna were absolutely phenomenal and truly deserve to be recognized as one of the best DJ teams out there. From the very beginning, they were incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. On the wedding day, they went above and beyond to bring the bride’s vision to life and keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes.
Dave is a master at reading the room—he knew exactly when to switch things up, what songs would get different groups on the dance floor, and how to keep the energy high all night long. The dance floor was never empty, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. His transitions were smooth, his timing was perfect, and he balanced our must-play list with crowd favorites in a way that felt effortless and personalized.
Johanna was just as incredible, taking such thoughtful care of the bride and groom throughout the night. She made sure we had drinks in hand, checked that we actually got to eat, and gently kept us on track with the timeline without ever adding stress. Together, Dave and Johanna felt less like vendors and more like a professional, caring team fully invested in making our day perfect.
Communication with them was a dream—they were easy to reach, open to ideas, and offered helpful suggestions based on their experience while always honoring what we wanted. They truly advocated for our vision, from ceremony music and special dances to the overall vibe of the reception.
If you are looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, incredibly easy to work with, and genuinely cares about your wedding, book Dave and Johanna. They didn’t just play music; they created an unforgettable experience and were a huge part of why our day felt so magical. Five stars isn’t enough.

"OMG who is your DJ they are incredible"

Dave Mancini is, without a doubt, the best, most engaged, most professional, and liveliest event DJ we have ever met or seen. Every other guests told us the same thing, and our wedding reception could not have gone better. We actually feel so lucky we got to work with him. From the planning process to setup, to event time, he's just on point. He also worked hard to understand our vision and music preferences for the entire evening - from cocktail hour to party music to lighting and MC duties. Memories to last a lifetime, thank you Dave!

This is actually the second wedding we've seen him work on and each event was distinct in music and style. He really caters the entire evening to your vision and executes on that flawlessly.

Best. Wedding. DJ. Ever.

We truly cannot recommend DJ Dave highly enough! From the moment we first connected, he made it clear that he was invested in us — not just our playlist. He spent extra time in our pre-wedding meeting getting to know our personalities, our love story, and the overall vibe we wanted for our big day. That personal touch made all the difference.

On the big day, DJ Dave absolutely delivered. He helped coordinate a seamless transition for our traditional Korean attire change, which was super meaningful to us and so important to have done right. He made it feel like a natural part of the evening’s flow and kept the energy going strong the entire time.

And the dance floor? Packed. All. Night. Long. Even late into a Sunday night! He got everyone from our grandparents to our officiant out there dancing — it was amazing to look around and see every generation having fun together. Guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

On top of all that, Dave was incredibly organized and professional. He worked closely with us to plan every part of the reception so it all flowed beautifully, and he handled last-minute changes like a total pro.

If you're looking for a DJ who cares deeply, knows how to throw an unforgettable party, and will make your day feel completely you — DJ Dave is the one. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made.

The Best DJ Ever!

My husband and I had the true blessing of having Dave as our MC and DJ for our wedding in August. We are so grateful for him and everything he did to accommodate us and make our day perfect. I had a less than optimal venue coordinator who made me quite nervous for the wedding day and Dave comforted me and ensured that my day would go smooth. He made sure she stayed in line and that we, the bride and groom, had a great time. We can’t thank him enough! You’d be making a huge mistake if you didn’t hire him! We love you Dave and sorry this review took so long to make (haha!)

Best Wedding Ever!

I can confidently say that our wedding was absolutely magical, and a huge part of that magic was the incredible DJ music that kept everyone dancing all night long! From the very first song to the last, Dave perfectly read the room and played the ideal mix of tunes to keep our guests engaged and energized. The flow of the music was flawless, transitioning from romantic ballads to upbeat dance hits.

He even took the time to personalize the playlist to match our tastes, which made the experience feel even more special. The energy was electric, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the music. The sound quality was top-notch, and every transition was smooth. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to bring our wedding day to life.

If you’re looking for a wedding with a perfect soundtrack, look no further! Dave made our day unforgettable. Thank you for creating memories we’ll cherish forever!

Dave is the BEST!!

Dave and his wife, Johanna, were amazing - we simply could not have found a better MC. We planned on interviewing 2 or 3 MCs before making a decision but from the moment we met him, we knew he was the perfect fit for our vision of our wedding. He is fully vested in you and wants to ensure that your day unfolds exactly the way you dream it will. He asks all the right questions so that on the big day, there are no questions - all you have to do is show up and he and Johanna take care of the rest. We have the best memories of our day and Dave had such a big part in it! We will definitely hire them again for any big event and you should too!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
