Bethany T. Married on 05/07/2022Absolute Bestest DJ!
I can't say enough positive things about how awesome of a DJ Darla Bea is!
She made our wedding reception! I think I will remember my aunt bopping along to the music in her wheelchair for the rest of my life.
Everyone was talking about how good the music was. And the LED glow sticks DJ Darla provided were so, so fun!
Everyone from toddlers to Septuagenarians enjoyed playing with the LED glow sticks and running through the tunnel of lights at the reception.
DJ Darla Bea was flexible enough to work with us for over three years as our reception was postponed twice due to Covid and family circumstances.
For a small fee last year, DJ Darla Bea created a Spotify playlist of the music to be played at our reception, and this has become the go-to playlist I listen to while at work.
Darla Bea was also a great MC. We had quite a strict timeline due to constraints imposed by our venue and the county, so DJ Darla Bea did an excellent job making announcements and keeping tho ha on schedule. She even explained the hora to my side of the family raised Catholic. -

John S. Married on 05/14/2022Couldn't imagine a better DJ
Darla went above and beyond for our wedding! She did a great job handling my requests and guest requests. She also added songs that fit the vibe as needed. The dance floor was packed all night and we loved her glowsticks. Even some relatives who never dance at weddings were up on their feet. Darla even stayed for an extra 20 minute encore! Darla hit us with some local Santa Barbara trivia and was so fun to talk to throughout the night. Many of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they've been to in a while and we owe that to Darla for keeping the party going. Thanks for the amazing time Darla! Would highlyyy recommend! -
