Exceeded all expectations and brought our party to LIFE!

Rian and his team are absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I were drawn to his great music taste and passion for music, but were sold on him after our consultation call— he really is as cool and passionate about music as it seems!

Rian also made the entire process easy and fun! The questionnaire given before the wedding left us at ease and gave us the opportunity to share our preferences and tastes.

He captured our essence with his selection of music. After hearing the brief mention of Star Wars in our vows, he threw out a Star Wars remix during the dance party without us even asking for it. That made my husband’s night!

The moment I saw my father, who has NEVER danced in his life, sober dancing his heart out, I knew that everyone else also knew how great of a DJ/artist Rian was.

Dancing the night away to an incredible music selection, beautiful lighting, immaculate vibes, and the coolest people mixing music was a highlight of our wedding!

Our friends have not stopped talking about how fun the dancing was. I cannot recommend Rian enough, and hope to see him again at our friends’ future weddings.

Thank you for everything!!

Traveling Discotheque Is The Absolute Best!!

Rian and his team are the absolute real deal!! Watching them do their thing is like poetry. The choices, the aesthetic, and the way they get crowd moving... it's just amazing! As a wedding photographer I've worked with Rian multiple times now, and every time I've been so impressed. I work with DJ's every weekend, and I can easily say that Rian is at the top of my list for who I'd hire for my own wedding. If you're looking for the best, you can stop your search and hire Traveling Discotheque right now for your day. You will be glad you did!

Disco DJ Magic

We had a memorable and positive experience with Rian as our wedding DJ. He stands out from the rest of the crowd with his unique style and personality (the 70s tuxedo helps!). Oddly enough his website, which is refreshingly quirky and interesting, made him a top option when we were DJ searching.

From our initial call, he was very fun to get to know, and while satisfyingly honest about personal tastes, is still more than happy to fulfill your vision and preferences. He also offers uplighting as an add-on, which was an absolute steal compared to what our venue was offering. We worked with him a few weeks prior to the wedding to get an abridged cut of our first dance song, and Rian thoughtfully provided us several edits to choose from.

For the reception, we created a playlist of starting suggestions, and he did a great job playing a mix of our recommended tracks with a blend of his own selections across a wide range of genres. At one point a cousin shouted from the dance floor, "How is this all music I grew up with!?!?!" amid the opening beats of Be My Lover (what a great pick, we didn't suggest it but wow, did it fit perfectly). We also come from immigrant families, and so we wanted to include some non-Western music in the mix. Rian had taken the time to dig up some classic nostalgic standards from our families' cultures and play them during cocktail hour.

Every single "must play" was played, every "do not play" was respected to a T. We danced so much, we even forgot to get dessert. He and his assistant Sam were super polite and effusive and made our wedding night fly by. Thank you guys!
