Your guests musical tastes are important too!

Most Incredible DJ!!!!

Wow!!! We could not have asked for a more amazing DJ for our wedding! My husband and I got married at The Red Horse Barn early November. From the first phone call with Andrew regarding the music choices, we knew the experience was going to be wonderful. He was SO knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and answered all of our questions. He also gave some amazing suggestions on music options and genres for certain parts of the wedding. We had a range of ages at the wedding from toddlers to grandparents, and EVERYONE was up on the dance floor the entire time! We received multiple compliments on how amazing and fun the music was. We would highly, highly recommended Andrew to anyone in need of a DJ!

Loved this guy! Made our wedding SO special

I was a little nervous approaching our wedding because we hadn't talked to DJ Yates on the phone or had an in-depth conversation with him about what we were looking for. We did fill out the questionnaire that he had sent us prior though, which was very detailed. On the day of the wedding, everything. went. GREAT. Walking down the aisle, the music was crystal clear and it was like a movie. He did ready to go and did AWESOME with each song for the recessional, for the bridal party entrance (we had chosen a different song PER couple that entered, and changed them repeatedly before the wedding started) and DJ Yates was a trouper and just went with it and got all the songs perfectly. Everyone loved the music, especially us. He got the exact vibe we were going for. My family doesn't dance, but he got everyone moving, even my dad who has never ever danced before! We even spent some time chatting with him after the wedding when he was packing up and a tear came down his cheek as he talked about all the weddings he's done. We also got to meet his dad who helps him at every wedding, Poppa Yates! We loved working wtih him!

Hire DJ Andrew!

DJ Andrew Yates did such an amazing job at our wedding. We hired him for our ceremony music and to DJ for our reception. The music was perfectly on point for the ceremony and he knew exactly what to play during the reception to get everyone to dance the entire evening. Our wedding was perfect and he definitely had a part in making it that!

LOVED working with Andrew!

He was the first vendor I booked, and I’m so glad I found him. I actually never talked to another DJ, I just had such a great feeling from our intro call. He’s easy to talk to, and I was so excited to see everything come together.
I got the top package, which included custom monograms. It looked GREAT on the dance floor. And we had so much fun out there. And Andrew is such a nice guy on top of that! Great day, highly recommend using him.

An awesome DJ for our Wedding

DJ Andrew Yates was such a pleasure to work with! He was the MC and DJ for my wedding at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach, CA and from start to finish he ensured the music and the energy was on point. I knew from our first conversation that he is devoted to his craft and making the musical experience an amazing one. I really appreciated his willingness to use only songs from a list of artists I provided and also ensured the songs from the "do not play list" were never played. His easy going and fun, yet professional demeanor made for a great experience. He is also very organized and ensured all bases were covered far in advance. Not to mention, his lighting is super cool. I have since recommended him to my friends with confidence!

Awesome! Great experience!

Andrew did an awesome job as the MC and DJ for my wedding, which was an outdoor ceremony and reception on an overcast rainy day in May! He was prepared and adjusted to the weather in style! Even though he could not set out all the lighting he wanted to use due to the weather, we did not notice anything lacking. The lighting was still cool, the music was awesome and his upbeat personality, great voice, and adjustments to last minute announcement requests were perfect! He implemented the songs we wanted and sent him ahead of time and he also played our guests requests. We were very pleased and were glad we chose him as our DJ/MC. He was fun, punctual, thorough and so easy to work with. You will not be disappointed! Choose Andrew!!! We would choose to use him again!

Best DJ, Ever!

We got married in the beginning of November and decided to go with Andrew for our DJ. Best decision, ever. He went above and beyond our expectations and our wedding guests pretty much danced the entire night. We have had a TON of our guests ask about where we found our DJ and they commented on how amazing of a job he did. We are so thankful for Andrew and for making our night a party to remember!

I know I speak for my husband and myself and probably for every other guest at the wedding that we highly recommend Andrew!

Great person, Great music, Great lighting

DJ Andrew was our first choice for our wedding at Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach. From the minute we talked with him on the phone, he was so outgoing, personable, and enthusiastic. He was so organized and had a sheet to fill out what music you wanted for every part of the night with helpful songs in case you needed some suggestions. His lighting for the dance floor was amazing!! He definitely kept everyone moving on the dance floor. We couldn't be more pleased! If you want someone organized, super friendly, and has great music and lighting - Andrew is your DJ!

Andrew was great to work with for our wedding! He responds quickly, met with us in person, and provided an easy to fill out music list which gave me a great idea of the timeline for the wedding.

I gave him some Spotify playlists for cocktail hour and dancing music - I really appreciated that he took the time to look over my suggestions to get a feel for the type of music we wanted played.

He was also able to accommodate an acoustic guitar that we wanted played during the ceremony.

I'm incredibly thankful for all that he did. It's so nice to have such a positive energy on your wedding day!
