Super responsive and followed up

We love Alan!! Alan was super responsive and great at follow up!!! He listened to what we were looking for and found us the right DJ for the vibe we wanted.

Alan is the DJ for your wedding that you never thought you needed!

Alan Waltz was recommended to us by our venue coordinator and after our first call there was no point in searching for another DJ. There were many aspects of the wedding planning that were stressful, but this was not one of them. Alan helped us more than we helped him. He asked us questions that as first timers we never even thought of. He provides you with an easy to fill out planning form. In addition a suggestive list of Top 100s, genres, and categories to choose from if you're having troubles selecting your music. He always made himself available for phone calls and encouraged us to ask any questions or express any concerns that we might have had. Other than choosing our songs for our processional, recessional, and first dance we gave Alan genres of the type of music we wanted played during dinner and during the PAAAARRTAAY time...least to say, he killed it!!! My wife and I didn't want to be control freaks since we are not DJ professionals, therefore, we put our full faith in Alan's hands. We got the Up right LEDs, which definitely made the overall atmosphere a club vibe (highly recommended if that's your thing). As soon as the house lights went out and the bass dropped, it really felt like one of the greatest wedding parties that I have ever been a part of (our guests said the same). On a side note, thank you for including a few country songs for my Texas family that were visiting. To my surprise that was a hit that got all our guests to enjoy themselves on the dance floor. The following day, many guests reached out to me wishing that the night had not ended...I'll give all the credit to Alan. If you're stuck between two DJs I highly recommend Alan and his team!

Great Communication

We hired Alan to provide DJ services, up-lighting, and a photobooth for our wedding. Alan had great communication throughout the planning process. A few months into planning, my reception venue fell through. Alan was very supportive and even offered venue recommendations.

He did a wonderful job at cutting all of the songs for our ceremony processional/recessional, and played all of our requests. The up-lighting added so much dimension to our space and the photobooth was a guest favorite. His props are clean and organized, and he has thousands of photobooth templates to choose from to match the event. He also provided all of the photobooth photos in digital form. This was an unexpected bonus!

During our reception, we played the ‘Newlywed Game.” Alan had the newlywed game theme song and the sounds for the right and wrong answers on cue. It added so much to the guest experience, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. If you are looking for a kind, organized, genuine, and professional entertainment group, hire Alan Waltz Entertainment.

Organized and Thorough

We hired Alan for our 2022 wedding. He did a really fantastic job. I've seen some wedding DJs who make too many announcements or play too loud or don't know how to read a crowd. Alan really makes the day about you. We gave him a list of example songs we liked for different parts of the night and the music was absolutely perfect in volume and style. Excellent song changes (our guests did not leave the dance floor until our exit). He's a great emcee and he's got all the lights and equipment needed for a fun party. I hear he also has photo booths also, but we didn't use it. He is very responsive and clearly cares about making sure your wedding turns out the way you want. He is polite, professional, and I highly recommend him!

"Making dreams come true!"

Mr. Waltz's tagline should be, "Making dreams come true". I had called Alan almost a year ago and just told him what I was looking for. When he told me that he had worked for Disney Fairytale Weddings, I knew it was fate. Alan has impeccable artistic timing. Once I have my video I will post it, my chest is ready to explode every time I think of that moment when I saw my father walking out to wait for me at the top of the staircase. I still have guests sending me messages about the music for the ceremony. Alan made all my dreams come true and I promise I feel like I have known him in another life. He is as detailed as any Bride would hope for and is easy to talk to. You will not be disappointed!!

So Much Fun!

We used Alan as our DJ for our wedding celebration and were very pleased with our choice. We was friendly, responsive to our emails, and delivered exactly what we had hoped for during our event. Good music, a great atmosphere, and a packed dance floor. He played all my requests, and even songs I loved I had not thought of. Highly Recommend!

Great DJ, Fair Price

Alan was a fantastic DJ! He played all of the songs in my "must play" list and also was able to cater to the crowd as far as playing what they felt like dancing to. He is very professional and welcoming. I recommend him to anyone for their future wedding!

Above-and-beyond DJ

Alan is an amazing DJ!! He’s really dedicated to what he does. For our wedding reception, our main request was that he play dance music to keep the floor alive, and he delivered big time. We sort of had 2 different crowds: a lot of friends who like the early 2000s (plus some more recent stuff and classics like Michael Jackson) as well as a bunch of friends from India who love dancing to Bollywood music. Alan knew just what songs to play (from all of these genres) — and, he was really skilled at watching the dance floor and jumping back and forth between the genres to make sure everyone was having a good time. Not only that, he really went above and beyond: I had asked for group dances, but then forgot how to do the electric slide (!!!)…so he came out onto the dance floor and taught everyone! He wanted to make sure we were happy, and it showed. Thanks, Alan, we’re so glad you were our DJ!

Exceeded Our Expectations

We had an outdoor wedding reception and Alan Waltz made sure to set us up with a DJ that really understood and shared our taste in music.

Our DJ was Huy. My husband and I love video game and movie sound tracks as well as a variety of other types music spanning across many genres. We had some pretty specific requests for songs and Huy went above and beyond our expectations!

Our guests had an amazing time and we still get compliments on how awesome our DJ was! Huy played along with our guests and read the party perfetly. (We had a huge mix of older and younger adult guests).

We also included mood lighting and the photo booth in our package and it was 100% worth it. So many beautiful memories and they set the mood exactly to our liking. I absolutely recommend using their services. I couldn't imagine having a better DJ for our wedding!

Alan was our wedding DJ and he definitely made the night a party! A few weeks before the big day, we had a call to touch base and go over details and he let us know that he had a photo booth that wasn't being used on the date of our wedding, so we gave us an awesome rate to add the photo booth and uplighting to our reception. It definitely helped create a party atmosphere and the photo booth was used all night long. Alan knew just what music to play - our guests were on the dance floor non-stop! Thanks so much Alan for making our wedding reception one of the best parties our guests have ever been to!

My wife and I hired Alan Waltz Entertainment for our wedding at Wente Winery in Livermore, CA, and we were extremely thrilled by the DJ. If you're looking for a DJ to play 90s hip/hop and R&B, I would definitely recommend Huy. He nailed it with the music and EVERYONE was dancing all night. I coordinated with Alan prior to the wedding and the planning forms made it really easy to ensure that all of the music, from the processional to the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, was executed without a glitch. Alan was easily accessible and answered questions in a timely and attentive manner. I have already recommended Alan Waltz Entertainment to other people who need DJ services in the Bay Area. To top it all off, the DJ Services were affordable and reasonable. You won't have to break the bank if you go with Alan Waltz Entertainment.

We had Alan Waltz as the Dj for our wedding and he was absolutely wonderful! Alan Waltz Entertainment was on our preferred vendor list and from the moment we spoke over the phone I knew he would be a perfect asset to wedding day. Throughout the wedding planning process he was always so responsive and accommodating and was very flexible when I asked to add the Photo Booth and uplighting close to the wedding date. My husband and I spoke with him several weeks before the wedding to go over final timeline and music and he gave such great guidance and advice, making us feel very at ease. a couple days before the wedding he even sent a text to check in and on the day of the wedding he did an incredible job as the mc and playing such great music. Many of our guests commented on how great the music was and I didn't leave the dance floor the entire night because of all the fun music! He really has a feel for which songs will get people dancing. The Photo Booth was so much fun and our guests really loved it - great addition to our wedding! I would definitely recommend Alan Waltz for any event!!

Alan was truly an asset to making our wedding the great day that it was! He is very professional and helpful through the entire process. He played music that was enjoyed by all ages and adjusted based on the crowds responses. He provided music, lighting, speakers, and photo booth at a reasonable price. Overall great experience.

We used Alan Waltz Entertainment for our wedding on May 19, 2018. We originally had arranged to have Alan himself as our DJ, but he learned he had a family engagement he couldn't miss. He instead sent his right-hand man, JJ, to be our DJ, and JJ did NOT disappoint. Both JJ and Alan we're helpful and happy to do whatever we wanted. They have a very user-friendly client portal, wherein you can advise them how hands on (or hands off) you want them to be throughout the wedding (i.e. should they take requests? should they encourage dancing if everyone's sitting? are they also acting as MC? etc.). Beyond that, they called us 2 weeks prior to the wedding to iron out final details (we had some interesting song choices for our ceremony, and it went off perfectly). Alan and JJ are true professionals. Their setup is "modest" in nature, but they pick up on the type of music you like (based on your "must play" and "no play" lists) and do a great job nailing all the fun songs you want to hear that get people on the dance floor. Their service is not "club-like", but they have up-lighting and honestly, their work is pure class.

I think for the service they provided, the cost of services was incredibly reasonable.

For reference, we are a "younger" couple (at least we like to think so!) in our early 30s, who generally like to party and tear up the dance floor at weddings. Alan Waltz Entertainment fit the bill for us perfectly.

DJ JJ did an amazing job! Everything went so smoothly! Even though it was cold outside, DJ JJ made sure everyone was having a good time dancing and took requests from everyone. He was a great MC and made sure all the guests knew when and where the next event was happening. Neither my husband nor I were stressed at all on our wedding day! Would definitely recommend Alan Waltz Entertainment! Very accommodating, easy to work with, and affordable!

We were very happy with our choice to use Alan Waltz DJ services for our wedding. I read a lot of reviews before selecting a DJ for our wedding and the common thread I saw for Alan’s reviews were: they were flexible and really listened to the bride & groom, they do a good job reading the crowd, they’re great emcees, and were overall very enjoyable to work with. I agree with all of those things!

We worked with Alan specifically and he was wonderful. He provided his professional opinion when we asked for it, but was also very flexible and open to us doing our own things. He was a great emcee: pronounced everyone’s name right, played all of the right songs, made good transitions between events. And was a really great DJ; the dance floor was packed throughout the entire event (which is exactly what we wanted) and he did a good job mixing up oldies and more contemporary dance music. The price was very reasonable, and the service was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Alan Waltz DJ'ed my wedding reception in Gilroy. He was pretty reasonably priced compared to other DJ's I was scouting, and the clincher was how super responsive he was via email and phone.
The process for getting started with Alan Waltz Entertainment was a bit intense -- there was a form we put off filling out for a really, really, REALLY long time. The form basically asked for our schedule, song requests, genres, etc, some of which we didn't know until pretty close to the wedding. I was worried we wouldn't get assigned a good DJ since we put off the form for so long, but after talking to Alan Waltz, he assured me they would do a good job matching our event to a DJ. I told him we wanted nostalgic 90's/2000's music and he hit it right on the nose. We didn't really have any specific song requests (except the last 2 songs of the night) and Alan Waltz did a great job picking songs that kept people dancing.
He pretty much saved the reception -- I was getting worried that people weren't dancing due to poor transitioning on our part. However, Alan played some ice-breaker songs that got everyone on the dance floor and it didn't empty out again for the rest of the night. He knew just when to interact with the other wedding guests to get them dancing, and I had so many compliments from guests on what a fun party/DJ we had.
I think some of the compliments we got was specific to the photobooth and the guy that manned it. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the man who was helping out at the photobooth, but he was absolutely wonderful! He was one of the first people dancing and his enthusiastic personality helped make the photobooth fun. There were some hats towards the end, but this photobooth didn't come with as many props as I've seen with others. However, I think the lack of props actually led to some funnier and more sincere photos -- we got pictures of our friends rather than props.

Alan was an awesome DJ and really helped make our wedding special. After talking with a few other DJs we chose Alan due to, not only such a reasonable price, but his fun personality and his experience not only as a DJ but as an MC.

Alan really has the planning process down. His website had a bunch of tools to help us plan not only the music but also the overall schedule and flow of the event. In addition Alan is thoughtful in giving feedback and pointing out blindspots we may have missed in our timeline.

When discussing our music for the reception we decided to just provide a few guidelines and must play songs then trusted Alan to feel the crowd out for the right timing and type of music to play. Leading up to the wedding Alan remained responsive and handled last minute changes with ease.

When the big day came Alan did not disappoint. Alan was able to keep the crowd moving and was extremely flexible even when a last minute request came for music not in his catalog. As an MC he had the right amount of engagement, guiding people with important announcements while keeping things light and fun, the vibe we wanted for our wedding.

Alan worked hard to deliver an amazing wedding and I would highly recommend him.

Alan was perfect for my wedding at Saratoga Springs. The planning form for before the event and list of popular songs were very specific/detailed/helpful and easy to edit, and he was open to getting songs that were not on his play list.

Alan was friendly and quick with phone/email communication/responses, played song requests and genre while reading crowd energy. Last minute day of changes were made without issues. Helpful with extra mics, announcements, and perfect transitions from dining music to dancing.

A+ excellent DJ, professional and experienced with fun events, would love to work with Alan again in future :)

Thank you so much for DJing our wedding! We loved the music! Excellent work choosing songs to set the mood. We especially liked the slack key guitar during cocktail hour. Of course, dancing was tons of fun, too. Thanks for making the planning process easy, even from afar. Our wedding was even better than we could have hoped for, and we thank you for helping it all happen! Do let us know if you're in Honolulu.

I have been to many weddings and it is obvious that a DJ can make or break it. Being a destination wedding, I was worried that I would not find a good DJ. After looking around online and reading some reviews, I decided to call DJ Alan. It only took 10 minutes on the phone to know that he would be perfect for my wedding. He knew exactly what I wanted before I could even say it. Dancing was my main focus for my wedding and DJ Alan knew how important it was to me. I even threw him a curveball two weeks before the wedding and told him about a secret dance my Dad and I wanted to do. Even though we were only able to talk about it over the phone, he executed it flawlessly! I would highly recommend DJ Alan to anyone who wants their dance floor to be filled all night! We had such a blast and all of my guests kept talking about how great the DJ was. Thanks DJ Alan!

Alan Waltz exceeded my expectations as DJ, MC, and sound at my wedding and reception. Alan was also terrific helping me to plan. The day of was flawless. Alan is professional as MC to help guide things like toasts and cake cutting. As DJ he is exceptional. He had a group of non-dancers on the floor all night. He interacted with the kids who, a month later, are still talking about the dance moves he taught them. The music was exactly as requested. And where I relied on his judgement he delivered appropriately. I cannot imagine a better DJ. I back this up with the countless glowing comments from my guests about Alan during and after the event. 5 stars, thumbs up, highly recommended, will definitely work with Alan again!

Holy cow - Alan is amazing. He was our wedding DJ this weekend and boy did we have fun. One of the biggest compliments my husband and I got about our wedding was the music. Our guests wouldn't leave the dance floor! Alan is incredibly professional, fun, and skilled. The communication was fantastic, and he returned my emails and phone calls quickly. He even called the day before the wedding just to see how I was feeling and to reassure me about everything. Highly recommend.

Alan was an amazing DJ. Right from the start he was excited about doing our Halloween Themed wedding. He had great communication and was always available during phone/email if we needed him. He was also able to help bounce ideas around that enhanced our event.

On the day of the event, he showed up and was able to help out however we needed him to. His upbeat personality was just what we needed to get the party started, and keep it going.

I would defiantly recommend his services to anyone!

Everything overall was great. We felt that Alan understood perfectly the atmosphere we were aiming for based upon our requested song list, which was our main concern overall. He seemed to work well with our wedding coordinator, was extremely helpful in planning, and was on time with everything we asked him to do. Overall, we were happy to have Alan there as the entertainer.

Alan was the perfect DJ and emcee for our wedding reception at Hiller Aviation museum. Meeting with him, I felt like he knew exactly what to do so we didn't have to come up with plans or micromanage our reception. Alan is a licensed pilot, and came to our gig in costume and in character, and made announcements throughout the event like an airline pilot. Awesome! The music was spot- on, we told him what artists we liked and who not to play, and he knew exactly what to do. The final song was phenomenal, and we couldn't have asked for a better send off to the start of our Journey.

Based on our requirements, Alan suggested RJ as our DJ and he was awesome! We received so many compliments about the music! I have already recommended him to several of my friends and I know that one of them is using him.
Having Alan help us with our DJ was one of the best decisions I made regarding our wedding.

I can't think of anything that would have made the night better. Everything about Reggie and Alan was professional from the pre-event meetings that we requested to the night of the reception.
The event went as great as I could have ever hoped for. The music and the flow the entire night was unforgettable. I appreciate Reggie going over the allotted time a little to satisfy the party hungry crowd. I'm sure that is a fine line to straddle to please the crowd an

Alan did a fantastic job as the DJ/MC for our wedding ceremony and reception. We spoke on the phone early on while my wife and I were deciding on our DJ and Alan gave us advice on things to consider in the selection process that we weren't thinking about. We had a couple meetings at the event venue to discuss logistics and our requests for the reception, and Alan made suggestions about our timeline for the day which we found very helpful. Alan was even able to attend our rehearsal to meet everyone and do the walk through. The ceremony went exactly as planned, as did the reception. We discussed our music preferences with Alan and he was able to feel out the crowd and made great music selections for the dance party at the reception. Everything was fantastic and sounded great, and Alan knew how to get the energy going. On top of that, everything was absolutely worry free and we always felt like we were on the same page as Alan."

These reviews are from so long ago that I just wanted to make sure people know that Alan is still excellent! We hired Alan for our Nestldown wedding in 2014. He did a really fantastic job. I've seen some wedding DJs who make too many announcements or play too loud or don't know how to read a crowd. Alan really makes the day about you. We gave him a list of example songs we liked for different parts of the night and the music was absolutely perfect in volume and style. Excellent song changes (our guests did not leave the dance floor until our exit). He's a great emcee and he's got all the lights and equipment needed for a fun party. I hear he recently got a photo booth also, but we didn't use it. I highly recommend him!

We had our wedding at the Presidio Golf and Country Club in San Francisco. Alan came highly recommended by Molly Star the facility coordinator. I trusted Molly when she recommended Alan and it turned out to be a great plan. Thank you.

Alan helped us make our event every bit as amazing as we dreamed it would be. He played the music that kept the mood of our party upbeat and wonderful for our guests, but he also made our ceremony beautiful and meaningful. Not only was Alan a great DJ, but he helped us plan the schedule for our evening...something that we greatly needed.

I would highly recommend Alan to anybody looking for a DJ in the Area!

We loved working with Alan. He was recommended to us through a friend and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding partner. We met with Alan before our wedding to get to know each other and talk about our vision for the wedding. He's very friendly and down to earth which was exactly what we were looking for. I though I knew exactly what I wanted (had even already picked all the songs) but Alan provide constructive feedback and new ideas and the music for the wedding was even better than we expected. Alan provided music for the ceremony and reception and even came to our rehearsal upon his suggestion. He kept us on time during the reception and people were dancing all night long. Every single song he played I'd say, "I love this song!" We very highly recommend working with Alan. Such a great guy.

Alan provided the ceremony and reception music for our wedding and he was fantastic! We had several meetings with Alan in preparation for our wedding day to discuss the events of our day. He is very easy to work with and available anytime for questions; music related or not. Alan has been in the business a long time and it shows! Whatever your event or occation you can be sure Alan will take care of you and your guests.

DJ Josh is amazing!

Alan and DJ Josh did an amazing job at our wedding! Everyone had so much fun and it was so cool to have a BBoy DJing (many attendees were also bboys/bgirls). Guests kept asking if we knew him before the wedding since he meshed so well with the group. DJ Josh asked to double check about line dance songs etc. before playing them and in general was super respectful and a pleasure to work with.

JJ was a hit!

JJ was a hit! So many of our guests told us that our wedding had the best music of any of the weddings they've been to this year.

JJ could always tell the mood and shifts in the crowd, and even picked on some cues made during speeches to play certain songs. Thanks for making it a party!

Mostly Good

Pros:
• Alan was generally professional throughout the wedding, and pleasant in our meetups beforehand
• He had a bit of a sense of humor during his announcements at the wedding which we appreciated
• We hired a photobooth through him as well and it had amazing lighting that made for fantastic pictures, and the helper running it helped everything go very smoothly

Cons:
• Alan’s attention to small details wasn’t the best. He got a few small things wrong on the day that we had specifically talked through during our prep phone call earlier that week, nothing major but just small annoyances that were unnecessary on the day.

Unfortunately Our Only Mediocre Vendor

EDIT: Wanted to note that Alan reached out after this review directly with a very kind apology and an offer of refund of services. I think we were a rare case in a proven history and wish Alan and Josh all the best moving forward.

Unfortunately a very mixed bag with this company. We were not going to write a review but one was requested, so we would like to preface by saying that Josh is a fantastic and funny DJ who everyone should hire once he is wrapped up with grad school. All of the stars we're giving are going directly to Josh!

We hired Alan Waltz in Spring of 2021, and apparently a lot changed between then and our wedding in October 2022. When we touched base a few weeks out from our wedding (our first contact since initially booking), he greeted us with remarks about how much he dislikes working at our chosen venue (Waterfall Lodge in Ben Lomond, CA), informing us how difficult we were making his job with our music selections, and even making a snide remark about one of our vendors - all unprompted. This was within two minutes of pulling up our information and saying hello. It was so close to the wedding we just decided to roll with it and hoped that he was just having a bad day.

Sadly, the day of the wedding didn't go much better. Thankfully Alan was only in charge of the ceremony and left to let (amazing!) Josh take over as dinner MC and reception DJ. Alan was openly rude to our officiant in front of guests and our wedding coordinator. He also played the wrong song for our processional, despite us going out of our way to give them detailed directions and sending back ups of all important MP3s. Later, he said he had a wonderful time meeting my husband and I, which is odd because he never greeted either of us. Unfortunately, his disinterest in our event led to Josh not understanding the timeline properly and so we missed out on some of our must plays. All around just a mediocre experience - and not for cheap!

Apologies for the length, but wanted to be honest as to why we aren't giving 5 stars.
