Best DJ Ever.

We interviewed several DJs and never felt comfortable with any of them. We finally found Sawyer and it was like finding a long lost friend. He is so nice and professional. He is super knowledgeable about the Tahoe area. He kept the party going to the last minute. Our fiends are still talking about how great the DJ was as a person and as a DJ! My husband and I talked about our favorite parts of our wedding day and the reception is in the top 3. Thank you Sawyer!!

Amazing Wedding DJ!

Sawyer was an excellent wedding DJ! Beyond making sure we had banger after banger to dance to (a top priority from me, the bride, as I wanted to be on the dance floor all night long, and I was!), he also helped us shape our wedding timeline, shot great little videos for social media, and worked so easily with the rest of our wedding team. Would recommend him for any party! Thank you, Sawyer :)

Review: DJ Sawyer Tahoe – Beyond Five Stars!

If you are looking for a DJ who truly "understands the assignment" and executes it with heart, look no further than Sawyer. From our very first phone call, his enthusiasm was infectious. We shared our vision for a "Pink Pony Club" dance featuring inflatable costumes, and he didn’t just say yes—he leaned in with genuine excitement. On the day of, he arrived impeccably dressed in a tuxedo to match our "black formal" dress code, showing a level of respect for our vision that set the tone for the entire night.

A Safe Haven and an Artist: As a gay couple, finding vendors who make you feel completely seen and safe is paramount. Sawyer wasn't just a professional; he was a sanctuary for us. He is more than a DJ; he is a sound artist. We gave him the freedom to mix from our playlist, and his transitions were seamless and inspired. What touched us most, however, was how he handled a deeply personal surprise. I wanted to play a voice recording of myself just before walking down the aisle. I was incredibly nervous about sharing such a vulnerable moment with a "stranger," but Sawyer immediately put me at ease. He protected that secret fiercely and executed the moment perfectly. It was one of the most precious memories of our lives.

The Full Experience: Vigilance & Care: Sawyer was there for us every step of the way, ensuring our day was stress-free. He even went so far as to stand watch from above during our first look to ensure no one entered that part of the beach or wandered into the background of our photos. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the small details couples often overlook, touching base often to guide us through the timeline with grace. His contagious energy is a reflection of a beautiful heart, and Denise is an equally wonderful soul who helped create these epic moments. If our wedding coordinator was our right-hand woman, Sawyer was undeniably our left-hand man.

Sawyer is a must-have. He didn't just play music; he helped protect and celebrate our love. Everything he did was, quite honestly, perfect.

Pro-Tip for Couples: You must get the upgraded lighting package! It made the dance floor an absolute blast, and seeing our professional photos afterward, the lighting truly brought the entire room to life.

From beginning to end, Sawyer rocked our wedding!

We loved working with DJ Sawyer! From the very beginning, he guided us so that we could curate our music selection to the extent that we wanted. He was so easy to work with- including helping us get some of our decor up to Lakeview lodge- not an easy venue to transport things to but so worth it. He kept the dance floor packed and the unexpectedly long guest speeches in check. He also helped us make our first dance fun and not too long- no pressure. I would highly recommend DJ Sawyer for a wedding. He made our day stress free.

Dj sawyer is the best

Sawyer is AWESOME! We hired DJ Sawyer for our October 2025 wedding in South Lake Tahoe and this was the best decision we could have made. The dance floor was FULL the entire night, and many guests have told us this was the most fun wedding they have ever attended. Sawyer took into account our requests while also assessing the vibe of the wedding and threw in some fun songs that really got the party going, with transitions that were seriously next level. DJ Sawyer was also just extremely easy to work with- he is experienced and professional, required minimal direction from us, and kept the entire event flowing, from the start of the ceremony, through the end of the night. He is more than just a DJ and truly was a key part of what made our wedding so unforgettable.

Everyone loved DJ Sawyer!

DJ Saywer delivered above and beyond our expectations - many guests passed along their compliments after the fact. In planning, we had a few particular requests with regards to timing for ceremony songs and a pre-ceremony dance party, and DJ Sawyer delivered on all our particular requests and took it above and beyond. He is super charismatic for any announcements as well. He took our song inspiration and elevated it and matched the vibe of the dance party. He mixed songs together for some fun transitions and mixes that nobody expected which was beyond our expectations. We had such a magical night and so did our guests! Next time I would try to remember to get behind the DJ booth too!

Romance and Vibes

This review is long overdue as our wedding was in April 2025, but our hearts burst with love and gratitude when thinking of Sawyer. 

We asked for the Bay to come to Tahoe and he really delivered the best party of our lives! We could reiterate what other couples have said before us: DJ Sawyer doesn't do corny overplayed wedding songs, he brings his own set-up and will provide mics, as well as MC for you. He's responsive and vibey....but, that doesn't really encompass how he contributed to our wedding day. 

Sawyer is thoughtful. When he noticed our late-night bites came out and the dance floor emptied from all of our friends, he adjusted the music accordingly and started to play Vietnamese music because our families were still there. We never asked him to play Vietnamese music. First of all, how do you even know Vietnamese party music and how did you adapt so quickly? 

Sawyer is creative. We gave him 3 playlists for inspiration (cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception), but otherwise gave him creative freedom. He had the best remixes to songs that kept us on the dance floor all night. How do you have such an expansive, eclectic repertoire and seamlessly transition them?  

Sawyer is more than just a professional vendor. He's a friend who truly cares about your personal experience with him and strives to make your wedding day as special as you deserve. He truly spends the time with you as a couple to reassure, give creative perspective and assuage your worries with care. 

DJ Sawyer is the best in the business and you would be doing yourselves a favor to have him as part of your vendor team. We did and were lucky to have him.

Best dj!

DJ Sawyer was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. While talking to him on the phone to prepare for the event he had such a good vibe and energy, providing great suggestions on the timeline and ideas on various things we wanted done. During the event he played music in a way that kept the vibe going as he continuously read the audience, as well as observing the guests and how the event was progressing along. He also helped so much with the timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with our photographer and videographer as well as food servers... and coming up with ideas as the event moved along to make different things in the timeline work out for the better. He helped make our event amazing and run smoothly! Anyone who hires him for their event will not regret it.

Thanks Sawyer!

DJ Sawyer is the best!

Sawyer went above and beyond for our wedding! The music was on point. He guided our wedding from before our ceremony until the very end. He made sure the wedding was about us and our guests. Sawyer is an amazing DJ and so much more. I remember him bringing us champagne, helping with our cake and checking in with us through the night in subtle ways. Sawyer is organized and flexible and really made us feel at ease. He is available, kind, communicative and a lot of fun. I cannot thank him enough for making out wedding more than we could ever ask for. Highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
