Dave DJ'd our wedding reception and people are still asking us for his number for their own weddings! He listened to our music requests/taste and incorporated them into a perfect playlist for our special day. He was a great, fun MC and really kept us on schedule, but made sure everyone had a blast. He is fun, easy going, and a pleasure to work with! We've attended many weddings with DJ's that were half as talented at double the cost. Winsor Weddings is an investment you won't regret!

Dave Winsor was an awesome DJ. He was great about planning and setting up times to meet and really helped us in terms of setting up a timeline of the wedding. He knew all the right questions to ask and made an effort to truly personalize our wedding. The music selections were perfect for our reception. He was an excellent speaker and really knew how to keep the guests of our wedding interested and happy. He gave great introductions to our wedding party and was extremely flexible. He really caters to the bride and groom. I don't have a bad thing to say about Dave Winsor and his DJ services. I do want to add that he provided a music setup for the cocktail hour outside as well as the reception inside. He happily allowed a friend who was singing at the ceremony to use his equipment. Thanks for making our day extra special!!

Dave Winsor was more accommodating than we could have ever imagined. Dave came to meet us prior to the wedding at our campground (Which Dave, if you're reading this, your are more than welcome to come back and hang anytime we'd love to have ya!). We went over ideas and he asked all the right questions to get a feel for who we were and what made us tick as a couple. He took that information and like Rembrandts brush paints an image, he told our story through the songs he played...it was phenomenal!

Dave also went WAY above and beyond for our first dance as a married couple. Our song was "This Old House" by Matt Epp. As we took the dance floor and prepared to get under way, much to our surprise Dave told us he had a message from Matt Epp all the way from Canada. Somehow, Dave managed to get in touch with Matt's people and worked magic in getting him to record a special message tailored to us mentioning our names as well as our 1 - year old chocolate lab Sammy! As we stood there in awe, it was tough to take the first step in our dance because it came as that much of a surprise!

Dave knew exactly when to approach us during the night and direct us in moving toward the next event (i.e. - cutting the cake, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances). He was perfectly involved.

The dance floor was packed from the minute it opened to closing time at 11:30pm. Dave did so well in fact that when we left the wedding, the party had to continue at a local pub because there was so much energy he brought to the table.

We honestly can't say enough about Dave and how he made our special day even more memorable. We'll treasure that day the rest of our lives and Dave played a huge role in it. Thank you Dave, we appreciate it more than you'll ever know!

Dave did an awesome job at our wedding and reception. We had planned many things out but had left a few things up in the air not knowing how the ceremony and reception would go. Dave was able to make everything run smoothly and coordinated with the event staff, our officiant, our photographer and live performers. He provided the music we wanted and was visible when we needed him and blended into the background when needed, providing support and music during the ceremony. We would definitely use his services again at future events.

Dave was very helpful with my wife and I in planning our wedding. He more than met our expectations. I put heavy expectations on Dave and he came through and then some. My wedding guests couldnt stop talking about how great he was. He played the perfect array of music and made my wedding reception better than my wife and could have ever imagined. Thank you!

Dave is a friendly and professional DJ who was a pleasure to work with. Our meetings with him leading up to the wedding were fun and productive. Dave's breadth of experience allows him to provide great insight, feedback and suggestions which we found very helpful in the planning process. His stand out moment at our wedding was when he told our love story to the delight and joy of all who were in attendance. His touches of humor and poignancy during our story were just right and made for a very special moment. He did an excellent job at preparing the wedding party and guests for the various moments of the reception and provided outstanding sound and lighting equipment. Thanks so much Dave!

We felt like this stranger we had just met, really wanted to do something special for us on our very special day. We gathered at a local venue and proceeded to drop a million things on his plate. Through the questions and the chaos of our very particular list of dos-and-don’ts, the needs and the must haves, Dave continued to comfort us with his charming personality, ensuring that whatever we wanted could be accomplished. With all the crazy planning and decorating for our wedding day, never once did we feel anxious or worried about our DJ selection. He was our most dependable vendor throughout everything. The reoccurring comment from our wedding guests that is still circulating today is, “I’ve never seen an introduction like that at anybody’s wedding before.” Dave personally introduced each member of our 20 person wedding party so that the entire reception knew who they were celebrating with. Including humor and complementing each bride’s maid and groomsman, he brought the whole reception hall together as if there were no strangers at all. He then told our love story and explained to our guests how we had met, the romantic moments of our engagement, and how we were the perfect couple for one another. People were laughing, family was crying, parents were glowing. We couldn’t have asked for anything better as he brought so much more imagination and creativity than we could have envisioned.Grandparents were boogying with children, aunts and uncles were showing off dance moves even they didn’t know they had, and we had a blast. As our family and guests came to say goodbye the following day, everyone stated how sore they were. Their faces hurting from smiling so much, their voices were raspy from singing along to their favorite songs and their legs were jello from dancing all night long. SUCCESS!!

Dave did what most DJ's simply cannot do - he made the music, microphone and event all about the event. He did not attempt to over shadow the event with his voice. It was professionally done and I would hire this gentlemen all over again!

It's so important to find a classy DJ who won't talk too much, play silly songs, and play lots of cheesy games. Dave is totally professional and keeps the dance floor packed. Plus, he's just a really nice guy.

I worked recently with Winsor Weddings and I immediately added Dave Winsor to my admittedly select list of DJs that I love working with. Thinking in terms of the bride, he is at once: professional, clear, confident, unobtrusive, pleasant, articulate, and ensures that the day is not "about him" but rather knows and acts that the day is about the wedding, the bride, the groom, their friends and family. He has a vast selection of musical genres, uses a seemingly (to me anyhow!) state of the art digital system to access the music, and here's an important one---his sound system is just about the best sounding I have ever heard. No big hulk speakers hanging off some huge stand, just thin and svelte Bose speakers with tucked-away subwoofers that make clear, distortion-free music at whatever sound levels you ask for. And, well adjusted to perfect dinner music levels too. Not an easy task, he kept a daytime wedding hopping right to the last dance. In fact, this was one of those gigs that was disappointing to have come to an end. I highly recommend Winsor Weddings, and this is coming from someone that attends and works at 50 weddings per year!
