The best!!

Alex was absolutely amazing, he worked with us before our wedding to make sure the day was seamless. We really appreciated that he was able to coordinate with our string instrument team during the ceremony as well. The team was fast to respond whenever we needed anything. Alex was the perfect addition and made the night so fun!

Soolah, DJ to the STARS!!

We worked with Soolah for our wedding and she was an absolute gem. She and the rest of the Dapper DJs team made the entire process a breeze. Their online portal was nice and easy and Soolah was communicative the entire time to ensure we had everything set up to go. We had some unconventional things during our reception (live singer for first dance, etc) and she made sure we knew it wasn’t the tiniest bit of an issue. During our reception, she had one of the co-owners with her as well, Jack. I got to have a lovely chat with him about their business, the job, and just various other things that was an absolute pleasure. In general, they’re just good people all across the board. Not to mention that Soolah kept the vibes up all night long!! Wonderful people, wonderful DJs, for a wonderful price!

DJ Najee killed it!

Booking the Dapper DJs for our wedding was one of the best choices we made during our entire planning process. They were very easy to book and communicate with. When it came to the actual wedding, our DJ, Najee, was a huge hit! So many of our guests told us how much they liked him and the energy he brought. Due to a weather mishap, we had to extend the dancing hours of our wedding but Najee didn’t miss a beat. He kept the energy high and the party going for hours and made the wedding an epic dance party of all our guests. We had a blast thanks to Najee!

You Need to Work with Dapper DJs (Especially Najee!)

We had the pleasure of working with Najee for our wedding and could not have had a better experience. You can tell he is passionate about his job, and it really showed on our wedding day. He was professional and brought great energy throughout the day. We received SO many compliments on the music during our reception. Would highly recommend working with Dapper DJs!!

Had Us Dancing All Night Long!

Brent was wonderful to work with! Walking through and building our playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was one of the top most (if not the top most) enjoyable part of the wedding planning process. Brent offered us a ton of fun ideas and, by the end of dinner, had just about everyone up on their feet dancing all night! Thank you so much for making our day so much more memorable!

They're the best in the business!

The Dapper DJ's are awesome!!! Najee was our DJ at our wedding and was so much fun! He read the room well and played great music! Several people came up to me during the reception and said how great our DJ was! Between my family and my husband's family, the Dapper DJ's have performed at 4 weddings, we keep going back!

Najee Wedding DJ

We hired Najee for our wedding and he was AMAZING! We talked with him for our initial consultation about Dapper DJ's, then another call once we had hired him, and one a few weeks before the event. He explained everything that was included in the price - plus any extras we could add on - very clearly and never tried to upsell anything at all. He was so friendly and easy to chat with and was always excited for and receptive to our ideas of the vibe we were going for. He is such a likeable guy that by the end of the first call you will want him at your wedding as a friend as well!

Once we decided on Najee, Dapper DJ's sent us a portal link where we could upload songs and Spotify playlists for different parts of the event (ceremony, dinner, reception, etc.) which made everything super easy. They also included a section to add songs to “must play,” “play if you can,” and “do not play” lists. Signing the contract and making payments online also went smoothly.

The day of, he had everything set up before we even realized he had arrived and had several mics (handheld and lapel) to choose from for the ceremony. Our venue was a café split over two floors, and he did an amazing job coordinating people for different parts of the evening that took place either downstairs or upstairs, so the transitions felt seamless. He was a great MC - introducing everyone who gave speeches, hyping up the crowd for hitting our pinata, getting the dancing started, setting up the bouquet toss, first dance, everything! During the reception, we had so many guests come up to us asking "Where did you find this guy?? He's awesome!" The music and transitions were perfect, and he played a great mix of both the songs we had requested and his own that fit the current mood.

And he proved the accuracy of the Dapper DJ’s name, because several people said word for word: "He looks so dapper.”

We were originally on the fence about hiring a DJ at all to try to save some money, but we are SO glad we hired Najee. To say he was worth it would be an understatement. He really made the wedding, and we could not recommend him more!!

Perfect Garden Party Wedding DJ

Dapper DJs delivered exactly what we wanted from start to finish on our wedding day. They took care of all things sound at the ceremony, cocktail hour, speeches, and dance floor. Each transition was seamless and per plan. Alex and Jack communicated with us throughout the process, understood the party we wanted to throw, and absolutely delivered.

We love Dapper DJs!

We LOVED our experience with the Dapper DJs! They were a perfect fit for us, and I feel like we got an amazing experience for the price we paid. From the beginning, communication with the whole team was clear, timely, and easy. I had an introductory call with Alex where we went over everything, and then a call with Marcos who eventually became our DJ. My husband and I clicked with Marcos immediately because we share similar music tastes. Both of these calls were quick to schedule and I found everyone very dependable to work with. Marcos did an incredible job as our DJ/MC. His management of our ceremony sound and music cues was perfect, and he did a great job guiding the reception. He had no trouble with timing or names for anyone, and made it such a good experience. Most importantly, his dancefloor management was flawless. He flowed easily between more current pop songs, the 2000s alt pop we told him we liked, and more classic wedding songs. His transitions were so great, no song went on too long and it kept people interested all night. The dancefloor was full the whole 2ish hours we were going! Many guests mentioned to me what a great job they felt he did, both at the event and in the days after. We can’t recommend Marcos or the Dapper DJs enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Alex with The Dapper DJs is an outstanding wedding vendor that I've personally worked with. He treats his clients with such respect and priority and his vintage theme is totally unique. He does the "Through the Decades" type music transition through the reception, usually making every guest (no matter what age) happy. My sister and brother in law were so thankful they chose him for their wedding and I've been recommending him ever since!
