Wonderful Service and an EPIC Party!
DJ Darla Bea is incredible! Don't think twice and hire her for your wedding. Not only did she do an amazing job DJing our wedding, but she provided outstanding service leading up to the big day. She spent time learning about both of our music tastes and how we wanted the day to go. We spent a lot of time talking on the phone and emailing. She was easy to get a hold of and genuinely excited about our wedding. She also helped us work in some Jewish traditions, which was really fun. Our friends AND family danced for hours straight at our wedding reception. It was unbelievable! We all had a BLAST. So many guests have reached out post-wedding to compliment the music and dancing.

Also, Darla checked in with us throughout the night and made sure we were happy (we were!). She handed out song request sheets and brought glow sticks. A great touch. She respected our "Do Not Play List" and joked around with our guests if they requested someone on it. It made for a really funny banter at the wedding between guests.
We HIGHLY recommend DJ Darla Bea. She is a wonderful person and knows how to host a wonderful party. If you want to dance and have fun she's your DJ.

The perfect DJ for our wedding!
Darla really has it all when it comes to weddings! She was a true professional before, during, and after the event, making our wedding easy, fun, and perfect in every way (her 5 star reviews and numerous awards are definitely well earned). It is hard to sum up her services in a quick review, but here goes:

- Professionalism: From our first meeting, it was apparent that Darla sets incredibly high standards for herself. Sound quality, song or genre choices, "banned" lists, and cohesiveness throughout the night are all thoughtfully planned out and executed. With all the craziness of wedding planning, it was such a gift to know that our DJ duties were covered without hesitation.
- Transitions: She had a perfect way of transitioning throughout the evening. Starting with a light but sacred ceremony, to a young and trendy cocktail hour, to a soulful and magical dinner, to a dance floor that kept all ages moving, she was able to link each part of the night seamlessly.
- Announcements: Her announcements throughout the night kept us on track, which isn't always the easiest as the night goes on. She has such a classy way of speaking as well, which is SO much more sophisticated than your typical "cheesy wedding DJ".
- Extras: During dinner, guests were able to fill out song request sheets, which was an added discussion starter / ice breaker. Once dancing started, she had giant glow sticks that were an absolute hit!

Fantastic wedding DJ!
Darla was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very helpful leading up to the wedding, making choosing songs simple and fun. During the ceremony and reception, she was professional, responsive, and fun. I'd definitely recommend her to a friend.
