Super Fun and Professional DJ!!
Rian was a superb DJ and had the crowd rockin' all weekend. Very reasonable price for driving across the state for our destination wedding. He was everywhere he needed to be on time and kept the party going. We developed a playlist for him to integrate over the course of the weekend and he hit all the marks. His own music taste was very in line with our own, and he was able to seamlessly integrate music for every mood. The other really important aspect was he audio equipment skills. We had people speaking constantly, singing songs, doing little performances, and everyone could hear them with no feedback. This was something we were a little stressed about and it all went really smoothly. Rian also looks rad and dressed the themes of our wedding which was fun. I'd recomend him to any friend or family member getting married or having an event.

The perfect addition...
We met them at a wedding expo and were immediately excited about hiring them. Rian is easy going, flexible, and wanting to provide your exact vision. He did a great job for us and as a bonus. he had recorded some speeches we didn't have ourselves so it was such a gift. 10/10 experience.

thank you :)
Rian went truly above and beyond for our wedding. We hosted a party at our house the night before with some of our favorite local bands and lost our sound guy right before. Rian offered to step in and help out and did a flawless job including some DJing after the bands were done. The wedding itself was a blast. He included a solid mix of songs from our list and went with the flow of the crowd and ended up playing some 90s hits, finishing off the night with one of my all time favorite lcd soundsystem songs and one of our favorite slow songs. Totally nailed it. Thanks dude!!

Traveling Discotheque is phenomenal!
We had a great time working with Rian. We really loved Rian's passion for music. We provided a list of songs for Rian and he did a great job curating the music and his additions worked very well. His mixing was smooth and clean!
Our wedding venue was in a remote location and Rian was able to provide equipment for three separate sites with only one site being indoors with outlets.
Rian was also responsive and clear during our email correspondences prior to the wedding. He was on time and his setup occurred without a hitch.

Our dream DJ team!
Traveling Discoteque delivered an absolutely incredible experience for our wedding! One of the highlights was their talented live saxophone player, who added an amazing layer of energy and sophistication to the music. DJ Ryan's skill at mixing different genres was phenomenal - he seamlessly blended tracks and kept everyone engaged on the dance floor throughout the night.
What really stood out was how they created the perfect vibe for our celebration. They struck that ideal balance between keeping the party energetic while maintaining the elegance of a wedding reception. Their ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly helped create unforgettable moments for us and our guests.
If you're looking for a DJ service that goes above and beyond with live music elements, professional mixing skills, and an incredible atmosphere, Traveling Discoteque is an outstanding choice. They helped make our wedding truly special and memorable.

Amazing musical experience!
We cannot recommend more highly using Traveling Discotheque for your wedding musical needs! Working with DJs Rian and Sam was a dream – starting with an initial meeting where they got to know us, our musical tastes and what aspirations we had for the musical vibe at our wedding. They are professional and knowledgeable and also just really fun and easy to get along with. We utilized their DJing along with multiple live brass instrumentalists for our ceremony and reception. They worked hard to practice songs we wanted to hear with the instrumentalists. The mood they set for the reception and after party got everyone moving – I know that we never wanted to get off the dance floor as it was so fun! Rian and Sam crafted a soundtrack to our big day that was more perfect than we could have imagined and is the backdrop to all the amazing memories we have!

Traveling Discotheque is the best
I can thoroughly recommend Traveling Discotheque! All of the music and emcee services were flawless, from pre-ceremony to the end of the night - we were taken care of.
I consider myself to be very particular about how music choice can affect the vibe of something, and going into planning my wedding I knew that DJ choice would be paramount to creating the right atmosphere that also reflects my and my bride's personality and taste.
We kept saying "This is the biggest party of our lives", and the DJ is the life of the party. I'm so glad I found Rian Souleles and Traveling Discotheque. The sample mixes on their website had a good vibe that I knew I'd enjoy at my own wedding, so I reached out.
Very promptly we had a video call, he asked me to provide some of our music tastes ahead of time and we talked through those choices and he gave me his perspective on how he guides the energy of the night. I was sold then.
My bride and I then made some sample playlists for different times of the night, and Traveling Discotheque took those and were able to excellently weave those throughout the night, as well as accentuate our playlist with additional choices to match. Transitions were smooth, energy of the crowd was managed, and we were dancing all night.
We got so many compliments from our friends about the DJ, I don't know what else to add - they're great!
