Dean brings a palpable addition of professionalism to an entire wedding experience

We had our DJ drop out 2 weeks before the wedding, and less than 24 hours after that we'd already had a video interview with Dean and knew we were in safe hands.

Our wedding was relatively DIY, and while our friend who acted as coordinator did an amazing job (get some stage managers in your life if you're getting married), having Dean's eye and wedding experience behind us added so much to our confidence level that everything would go smoothly on our big day. Anything that reduces stress levels when it come's to your wedding is much appreciated, so we were very grateful to have him on board. He gave amazing advice during our consultation before the wedding, and rolled with every weird request we made.

We gave him a relatively eclectic batch of recommended songs, and he absolutely captured the vibe we wanted. He gave us all the fun requests that guests made, and also appropriately told my dufus friend that he would not be playing dubstep for him when that was requested. He's a great emcee as well, and though we had friends take over a lot of that role, Dean did a great job of filling in all of the missing spots that required a fun/authoritative figure to hop on the mic and keep all of the wedding's moving pieces in motion.

He was recommended by our venue, Reptacular Ranch, and they were absolutely right to do so because he knows how to perfectly navigate that space. No easy task since the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all in different parts of a ranch. Dude even showed up early and helped me and my hungover friends and family put up decorations the morning of the wedding as he got his own setup ready.

On top of everything, he offered to work within our budget without us even needing to ask. It genuinely felt like he cared about making sure our night went well. And, yeah, the British accent doesn't hurt :)

Our guests LOVED Dean!

Dean was the DJ for our friend’s wedding, so we decided to reach out to him for our own. SO GLAD WE DID! From start to finish, he was a delight to work with. Dean is friendly, organized, and professional. He provided us with some valuable tips as well. We had multiple guests approach us during and after our wedding with such positive compliments on how he led the night. We cannot recommend Dean enough to host your event!

Classy and Sophisticated

I wholeheartedly second what other reviewers have written. He is so responsive to an email or text and quickly makes any edits such as slowing the music if needed. And then emails the songs to you so you can practice dancing to them.

Instead of the first dance immediately after the grand entrance, he suggested the groom ask the bride for their first dance after their welcome speech. We loved that, and it made the first dance so special!

He helps you with your timeline so your event is as smooth as possible!

I have been to weddings and have watched YouTube videos where the DJ keeps talking over the music and thinks they are encouraging the guests, but that is so annoying, and I mentioned that I didn't want Dean to do that. He said he didn't need to do that as the music is enough to get the guests motivated to dance. Almost all the guests were on the dance floor and stayed until the end of the event! Guests didn't want to leave!

If you want a classy and sophisticated DJ and emcee with a lovely British accent for your special event, Dean is your man! And he is so fun to talk to, he has wonderful stories!

Absolutely the best

This review is way overdue. Dean made everything about our day perfect. From helping with the timeline, to going over songs and planning the music, even helping us celebrate a birthday on our day. Dean made everything easier and he brought the party. Will be using his services for any party we have. Thank you so much for making our day even more memorable and special!

Dean truly did such a great job, I would hire him for any event! Great man, good at what he does!

I am so glad and thankful that we were lucky enough to have met Dean, he did such an amazing job and is so friendly and professional! Our Wedding was on June 11th, 2023. Dean made us feel so comfortable, was very accommodating in all aspects, and you can tell he is very good at what he does! I am 4 months pregnant and we actually did a Gender Reveal while cutting our cake, he helped think of some creative ideas in which I am very appreciative. Dean was very good at listening to our needs/wants, being so considerate and thoughtful, he really made us feel at ease and stress free. When I first spoke to him on phone, I knew right away he was the one! He really helped make our Wedding so fun and special! He definitely has a great sense of humor as well, I think that's such an important quality to have when doing this job. So all in all, if you're looking for someone that will keep everyone continuously entertained, and guaranteed to make you feel happy through the entire event, HE IS YOUR MAN! We would recommend him to everyone, trust in him like we did and he will help make your Wedding even more unforgettable!

Fun Fun Fun

Dean helped us make my Mardi Gras wedding the most talked about wedding any of our guests have ever been to. Everything went smoothly and as planned. He catered to everyone's tastes from old school to new school and even my Hispanic family. Thanks so much dean for all your creativity in making my wedding so much fun, and interactive.

Highly, highly recommended DJ for any occasion!

Wedding 5/13/23. Throughout the wedding DJ process, Dean Henderson was professional, funny, and (thankfully) patient with us. During our first Zoom call, he led us through many of the key decisions we would need to make, including timing, the structure of the ceremony and reception, and more. He gave us great advice that went beyond the music and much of which we incorporated into our day. He expressed a level of strategy in how songs were played that was so much more than we expected. He said he kept an eye on where key people would be during the reception to make sure they were present for any songs requested. He also said he alternated music genres to make sure all groups had something to dance to, and he would deviate from his planned music as needed to adjust to the crowd and make sure people were always dancing. And all for a very reasonable price that kept us under our entertainment budget! Dean made sure to let us know that we could reach out to him anytime with questions or advice, and he was very prompt in responding to all of our emails. He was extremely methodical and strategic about ensuring that we–as well as our guests–would have the best time possible.

When our wedding day came, Dean truly went above and beyond in making sure all of the details were finalized and that we were all on the same page, including making sure the venue was doing its job to keep us on schedule. He also provided some fantastic advice to us that made a *world* of difference. Since my mom had been seriously ill leading up to the wedding, my wife and I had been torn on whether to change the combined father-daughter/mother-son dance to just a father-daughter dance. Dean told us that it was completely our decision but also that, if I had any desire to include a mother-son dance, I would almost certainly regret it if we left it out. Once Dean said it, I knew that he was completely right. I am so grateful to Dean for his insight because it was such a wonderful moment with my mom and an experience that I will never forget. Dean was a consummate professional and balanced both my and my wife’s song requests and ideas, which was not easy given our very different tastes in music. So many of the guests told us that the music selection was perfect! Thank you so much Dean for making our wedding that much more special!

Simply the best

Your wedding DJ is also the MC and one of the most important decisions you will make. If you have the chance, pick Dean. It's your big day and you'll have questions and Dean has all the answers. He puts you at ease and is the most punctual person I've ever dealt with. I called him to introduce myself and see if he would be the right person for our big day. Unknown to me, he was on vacation in Thailand and answered my call at 3 AM. He's an incredible resource and we would absolutely recommend Dean - it'll be one of the best decisions you make!
Thanks so much Dean!

Dean really made our night sparkle!

Dean is an absolute joy to work with! He has such a fun personality and really enjoys the meaning behind what he does. Another huge plus is that he makes the night ALL about YOU! He's fun and entertaining and gets the attention of guests (we had 300!), but directs the attention onto the people he works for.
He is much more than just a DJ; he helped us plan the events of the night and gave sound suggestions and advice based on his many years of experience. He really helped us make sure that the main players (bride, groom, parents, and family) and the guests were all honored appropriately.
Dean responds very promptly through email and is extremely flexible. I emailed him about a change in the Daddy/Daughter dance song a couple days before the wedding and he quickly and gladly changed it. He also can change/shorten any songs for you if needed.
On the day of the wedding, Dean was very helpful in making sure the night run smoothly (Including both the ring ceremony and reception). He followed our itinerary closely and made sure we had time to eat. Dean chose most of our songs for the night and they were all wonderful and fun. Our 300 guests all enjoyed grooving to his music on the dance floor. He also threw in some beautiful uplighting which added a nice touch to the reception.
His price is so reasonable for all the help and services he rendered. We're forever grateful for him and definitely recommend him whole heartedly!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
