A wonderful DJ for our wedding!

We’re so glad we hired Spencer to DJ our wedding! He handled the audio for the wedding ceremony itself, MC’d the reception, played the music for the dancing, and also provided uplighting for the event space. Everything he worked on just went smoothly. The audio for the ceremony was high quality and just worked. He did a great job as MC, staying on time, announcing what was happening, and making everyone feel welcome. He did fantastically with the music too - we had a few specific requests, and he nailed them all, but most of the night we gave only vague instructions and he made a ton of great picks, keeping energy high on the dance floor. The uplighting he provided was beautiful as well and really elevated the space! Throughout the process, he was easy to work with, timely, communicated proactively, and was always on top of every little detail. We’d definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

Best combo of lit vibes + organization!

Spencer was fantastic at our wedding at Ardenwood this month! I was drawn to working with Spencer as soon as he presented his planning spreadsheet during our first intro call. I'm already a type-A spreadsheet-obsessed type of bride so to have a DJ already have their own spreadsheet with all of the details outlined and thinking 3 steps ahead, it was a perfect match. With all of the information that we shared, Spencer was able to take that with just about a week of notice (because we were a bit delayed :) ), and executed our entire wedding flawlessly. My biggest priorities for the wedding DJ was keeping the wedding on time and keeping people lit on the dance floor - both of which were achieved. Thank you Spencer!!!

All of the Compliments We Received Were About the Music

We reached out to Sutherland Entertainment for our May wedding at the Berkeley City Club, and knew as soon as we spoke to Spencer that we would be moving forward with his company. Spencer was incredibly insightful, experienced, and innovative in ways that challenge standard DJ services. He offered everything from full service music and audio with club-style transitions, to station and bistro lighting, and ensured that his equipment was elegant and well suited to the venue. His style incorporated both our personal music selections, crowd pleasers, and was able to adjust to the crowd. From the time our dance floor opened to the time it closed, it was never empty. Every compliment were received the morning after the wedding included some mention of how great the DJ was, and how our Tuesday night wedding had such incredible energy. Spencer had our wedding guests doing the worm, the splits, dropping it low, and singing like no one was listening. Thank you, Spencer, for making our special day incredibly memorable and a true party!

Loved working with Spencer

We worked with Spencer directly for our wedding and highly appreciated his attention to detail, responsiveness, and flexibility throughout the planning process. We weren't super timely in delivering our playlists and song choices, and he was understanding and helpfully reminded us when we were getting closer to the big day. Additionally, he did a fantastic time MCing and working with our day-of coordinator to make sure the ceremony kept on-time (since our venue had a strict cut-off time).

Spencer rocks!

Spencer came highly recommended by our venue owner and hiring him for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. He’s thorough, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and a pleasure to work with. He was patient as we navigated the process and worked closely with us to create amazing playlists. We also had him play guitar during the reception and it was magnificent! Finally, when we asked for some last-minute changes, he accommodated them with grace and understanding. We recommend Spencer with our highest level of enthusiasm!!

Hire Sutherland Entertainment now!!

Spencer was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. His communication and website is so clear, he follows a helpful timeline, and he knows what questions to ask to make your wedding run smoothly. At our wedding, Spencer was professional, kind, and calm. His guitar playing is stunning and his DJing was perfect. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him. We wish we could get married again just to re-do the party :) If you are going to hire a DJ and/or guitarist, hire from Sutherland Entertainment!

Great DJ at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding

We really enjoyed working with Spencer Sutherland at the Haven in Tomales for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. Contracting was simple and he did a beautiful job with the lighting. He kept the entire evening moving at a great clip, played all the songs from our playlist, and handled the speeches extremely well. Most importantly, the dance floor was crowded for two solid hours and many of our guests commented that they have never danced more at a wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
