Desert House Productions

If you’re looking for a DJ who can truly elevate your event, look no further. We partnered with DesertHouse Productions (specifically Drea Strickler) for our magical wedding in Arizona.
To this day—two years later—she remains the vendor we rave about most. She didn’t just play music; she engineered an atmosphere. From the reception to the after-party, she curated a soundscape that felt authentically “us.” Her instinct for reading the room is unmatched, and her range across genres—especially her house selections—took the night to another level.
As someone who is borderline obsessed with music and the ambience it can create, I can say confidently that she exceeded every expectation. Her taste is impeccable, her transitions seamless, and her presence warm and professional. She made what was already the most important day of our lives even more unforgettable.
Our guests still talk about the dance floor energy and the after-party she facilitated. It was the most fun, joy-filled night, and her talent was the driving force behind it.
We will be forever grateful for the magic she brought to our wedding. If you want a DJ who is both wildly skilled and genuinely wonderful to work with, she’s the one!!!!

Dave really made the night come alive and put a bow on our perfect day. We wanted something a little less traditional - more 80s and Dance/House music than classic wedding songs - and he delivered 100%. Took the time to consult with us several times to find out exactly what we wanted, and kept us dancing and the crowd engaged and interested the whole time. Really couldn't have asked for more!

Working with Desert House Productions for our wedding was amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience. They are extremely professional and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding throughout the night. Dave was our DJ and kept the dance floor alive the entire night. Our guests were so complimentary of the music choices he made thought out and nobody wanted the party to end. Look no further for the best wedding DJ.

We use Desert House Productions for our wedding DJ at the Boulders Resort this October and they did not disappoint! From the very first call they made feel at ease with our choice for our DJ. Both my husband and I work in music, so we wanted someone who would understand that we wanted to be able to pick certain songs and Desert House some certainly did. When we did the pre-wedding call with Alex, he was wonderful and walked us through every step. Told us reach out if we needed anything prior and even helped keep our father daughter dance a secret until the wedding day. We couldn't recommend them enough for your event!

Desert House Productions was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! We originally wanted a dj plus live instrumental players as well! Dave knocked it out of the park with the percussionist (Ali) and saxophonist (Rachelle) he found to go along with his amazing DJ skills. My husband and I have a big variety of musical tastes from country, rock n roll, present day bangers, etc and we could not have asked for a better selection on his part in making the night one to remember! Another worry of ours was that we just wanted everyone to be on the dance floor at all times. He was so great at reading the crowd and would sense if there needed to be any changes to make sure everyone enjoyed it. I can honestly say, no one left the dance floor! He absolutely knocked it out of the park! Thank you Desert House Productions, Dave, Ali, and Rachelle for making our wedding night absolutely incredible and a night we both will never forget!

We can’t say enough good things about our DJs—they were absolutely phenomenal! They made our wedding feel like the most epic party, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Their ability to create the perfect vibe and their passion for what they do truly set them apart. If you’re looking for DJs who will elevate your event, these are the ones!

We strongly recommend that you hire Desert House Productions for your events. In particular, Dave and Drea overcame one of our biggest fears- getting the music right for our wedding. What a difference it was compared to other DJs we interviewed. Their consults with us went much deeper than just finding out what songs we wanted to hear. They got to know us more so than any other vendor, worked to understand our vibe, our guests, and decipher our tastes in music. Dave and Drea are great listeners and communicators, it was clear that they cared, and we feel confident trusting them. Their collaborative process led to a truly spectacular reception, which included outdoor dinner music, an indoor dance party (where they played b2b), lighting and effects, and emceeing. We had so many compliments about them. Superb production and people; we cherish our time working with Desert House. - J&M

Hi all. My husband and I researched and interviewed several DJs in the Phoenix Metro area for our wedding in Sedona, AZ. Music is very important to us. We've been to loads of weddings where the music and DJ are trash (you've also been to them). We wanted someone who would listen to our musical tastes (ranging from pop to hip-hop to house to blue grass), our dislikes for routine wedding playlists, and our desire to entertain guests from 13 to 80. Dave at Desert House Productions fit the bill and crushed it. Period. If you think you're about to book a DJ and you haven't talked to Dave at DHP, then take a minute, send him an email, and set up a quick meeting. Check out his credentials - he's been in the music business for decades, and he takes all of his professional experience and caters them to your individual event. He also worked with our wedding planner, venue, and vendors to provide amazing lighting, the perfect space configuration, and some fun add-ons (cold sparklers are super fun). Also, all of this may sound like you're going to pay a super premium. We didn't. Dave loves what he does and will work with you and your budget. The next time we host anything requiring music (even outside of Phoenix metro), we'll be giving Dave a call.

Alex was absolutely incredible! He had an amazing ability to read the crowd and keep the energy alive throughout the night. What blew me away was his flexibility—without any prior discussion, he worked some EDM into the mix just for me, and it was beyond perfect!
The way he transitioned through music was flawless. Guests of all ages were on the dance floor, and the EDM moments were a total highlight for me personally. He went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was unforgettable, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you want a DJ who truly cares about making your night special, I would definitely recommend Alex!

Alex was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. I am not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was packed for the entire night. He took the time to find out what we envisioned and give recommendations based on our style. He really understood not only our, but also our wedding guests taste in music. The music/vibe felt perfectly curated for every point of our wedding - and my friends have not stopped talking about how perfect the music was. Could not recommend Alex and DHP more highly.
