    Wedding 10/7/23

    DJ Sherwin was a great DJ and host! He was able to get the crowd dancing and the party going non stop. We got multiple compliments from guests after the wedding about the music selection and specifically asked for DJ Sherwin’s contact. He was very easy to work with throughout the process, great communication and responsive. Great value. Would highly recommend!

    Amazing DJ!

    DJ Sherwin is wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he worked with our budget. My husband and I had our wedding at an unconventional venue, where there was a loft and outdoor patio. DJ Sherwin attended our walkthrough and worked with our Day Of Coordinator to ensure that our vision for the wedding would come to life. We provided some songs to our playlist, but ultimately, we asked him to play certain genres and decades, and he delivered and exceeded expectations. Post-wedding, people could not stop raving about how amazing the DJ was. Our wedding was one of the few weddings we really saw almost EVERYONE on the dance floor at some point of the night. DJ Sherwin is extremely attuned to his audience and clients. On top of that, he is also very organized and professional, which made wedding planning that much easier!

    The Best DJ!

    My partner and I recently had the pleasure of hiring a DJ Sherwin for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we booked, right up until the last song of the night, he delivered an outstanding performance that elevated our celebration to new heights.

    From the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception, every transition was flawlessly executed. They skillfully blended our requested songs with their own selections, creating a perfect musical journey that had everyone on the dance floor.

    Hiring DJ Sherwin for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Their professionalism, attention to detail, ability to read the crowd, and overall musical talent made our special day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to create a magical atmosphere and keep the dance floor alive, we wholeheartedly recommend booking this talented individual.

    Brilliant Closer

    DJ Sherwin had the unenviable task of handling the last hour of our wedding, when guests were going to be tired and ready to call it a night. We also had a 13 piece band just finish a knock out set, and the bar was extremely high at that point. It was an impossible job, but DJ Sherwin came and turned the tables, and brought us all joyously into the late night with an energetic and brilliant performance. He folded in all of ours asks prior to starting the set, and then took our guests requests in real-time and made them work into the set brilliantly. DJ Sherwin was so reasonable, accommodating, and fun, and he really took an impossible situation and turned it into a rager of a good time party. 100% recommended!

    Excellent Service, Prepared

    DJ Sherwin will work with you to help you plan an amazing event. He provided a wonderful online planning tool to use to help plan the music throughout the wedding. It was a great help & I was able to search & preview songs & enter the ones to use for the wedding, including a do not play list section. When going over timeline, he drew on his years of experience and helped with suggestions and adjustments. My now husband had parts & pieces of a special song he wanted to use for the groomsmen's entrance & DJ Sherwin worked with him to get the exact parts and timing and sliced it together. He even provided us the tracks to help practice at rehersal. DJ Sherwin also came prepared - Of course things happen the day of the wedding, but we almost didn't have electricity to the entire venue (venue issue), but thankfully DJ Sherwin was brought his own backup generator and was prepared so either way, the ceremony, music, dancing, and live stream was a go. Thankfully power got restored in time, but it was a relief that he was prepared. The vocals for the live stream recording was excellent as well as he was able to plug the mics into the streaming service. Everything turned out great. I appreciate he listened to what we wanted & delivered!! I highly recommend himvto DJ you're next event!

    Best Dj experience at our wedding

    DJ Sherwin is a very rare and special Dj. He is very well diverse in his music and knows exactly what to play for the special event. He knows how to keep the party going. Never was there a dull moment on the dance floor. He has such a fun and youthful soul, which shows through his Dj-ing. We are a very satisfied customer, and would absolutely hire him again.

    What a night!

    We had a small backyard wedding, was supposed to be a lot bigger but ya know... Covid happened. Sherwin was flexible, his website was super easy to use to add songs, he responded in a timely manner every time. He even helped me with a timeframe for the night. He showed up early to set up, and oh my goodness the uplighting made everything pop! I still can't believe that was in MY backyard!!! It was magical, you could feel the music in your heart and it made the night. I would highly recommend Sherwin!! He was very nice and easy to talk to.

    So much fun!

    This is the 2nd wedding that we hired Sherwin for and he always delivers. Sherwin keeps the dance floor lit and the audience hyped. I provided the music and genres and wanted & it everyone loved the atmosphere. I didn’t want the night to end. Not to mention the lighting. It made our venue that much more beautiful.

    DJ Sherwin was more than I could have ever imagined!

    My experience with DJ Sherwin was great! He is very professional, organized and made me feel at ease with my wedding we planned in a little over a month! It was easy for me to get in touch and hear back from him. I have no prior experience in organizing/planning a wedding and DJ Sherwin made this process effortless for me. All I had to do was fill in the blanks and he did the rest! All my songs sounded lovely, the guests enjoyed themselves, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves, DJ Sherwin looked like he was having a good time as well, the other vendors and venue staff look like they did as well, and for me this is icing on the cake. It was more than I could have ever asked for. He is very flexible, very attentive and makes sure your wedding/event runs smoothly. Your wedding/event in DJ Sherwin's hands will exceed your expectations.

    Best DJ ever

    DJ Sherwin was awesome from day one when we set up our meeting to get to know each other. My fiance then, and I liked him instantly. He made us feel comfortable and confident that he would make our day special! If you are looking for a DJ who can play any kind of music don't look any further. He is the right guy for you. He did a Kenyan wedding and kept the crowd dancing all night! He did a great job and everyone was raving about the wedding and the music. Thanks Sherwin for an outstanding job!

    A dream come true!!!

    Sherwin really made our wedding unforgettable! He spent time getting to know my husband and my taste in music/preferences. The planning session with him was a lot of fun and we really felt that he cared about our event. He made sure to be in contact with our wedding coordinator and photographer. We had a pretty unique area for the DJ booth (speakers had to be placed inside the covered area, but could face outwards towards the ceremony area), and Sherwin was so adaptable! All I can say is WOW! We got so many compliments from our guests regarding the music and the up-lighting! Look no further! We highly recommend you to book Sherwin for your next event!

    Awesome service!

    Sherwin was amazing to work with! He was very detailed oriented and patient with us throughout the wedding planning process. We had our wedding last week in Costa Mesa and he exceeded our expectations with the pin lights, uplighting, dancing on cloud, entertainment, etc. I definitely recommend Sherwin for any event. He is friendly, professional, and will set the right mood and energy for your event.

    Sherwin was amazing ! He was not only thorough and professional, but he played everything we asked for - and more. We had a very diverse listing of music - and he had it all ! He ensured everything flowed - and our guests had the best time ever! It was a celebration that everyone will remember and he contributed to that memory! We could not have made a better choice !

    This review is long overdue! DJ Sherwin did an amazing job at our wedding on April 29! Not only did he take into consideration our likes and dislikes when it comes to our music selection, but he also made sure that all my guests were up and having a great time during the reception! He made sure to take in all my little requests for the ceremony songs, and made it transition so well that it wasn’t awkward switching from song to song! Also, our reception looked so amazing because of all the modern lighting equipment he brought in. It definitely was exactly what I envisioned, but so much better! Thanks DJ Sherwin!

    DJ Sherwin did an amazing job entertaining our guests during cocktail hour and the reception. He performed double duty as our MC and kept the energy up throughout the entire night. He catered to our every request and with very little guidance, understood our taste in music to perfection.

    At the least, I would recommend other couples to consider DJ Sherwin to be a part of their wedding. He would certainly be our choice again!

    Thank you Sherwin for being a part of our special day.

    Sherwin is amazing!! I'm so glad I have hired him. Not only is he a great Dj but he also provide great recommendations for songs, activities to for the guests, and what I really appreciate is that he had emailed all my vendors the final draft of my timeline and he kind of coordinates things. That has really help me in my finals days leading to the day of the wedding. I was so relieved he did because it was one less things I needed to worry about when I had out of guests, finalizing everything, etc. I love how when I wasn't sure of what songs to choose he would tell me what would be better and why. Lastly, I didn't know what to do in regards to my centerpiece giveaway, he recommended this game which I didn't really like but I went with it anyways because it was easy but it turns out my guest really love it and raves about it. Hire him!!! He would not disappoint!! I also truly appreciates that he always make that that's what I really wanted because he ensures me that it was my wedding and always make that what I truly wanted. I truly just loved him more because sometimes during the wedding planning process you tend to lose yourself. Anyways, He truly, truly does entertain the guests. All the songs that he played really got my guests on the dance floor even my parents guests which don't really understand american songs but they were out on the dance floor. I actually took a step back and notices that wow my wedding totally rocks. Look no further!! Sherwin is the guy for you. Thanks for rocking and making my wedding the one that everything raves about!! He worth than just a 5 star. I would give him 20 stars. I will always recommend him to everyone I know.

    Wow we have no words to describe Sherwin and his dedication to us the day of our wedding. He is professional and from day one he helped us with an event timeline and collected details about the event flow and music selection. Provided ideas and provided additional services that we could not afford. He is easy going and flexible and takes very serious every detail. He is excellent. Thanks Sherwin.

    I had a Birthday Boat Bash this summer and it was awesome. I received an immediate response from his website to get the quote. He was able to provide smaller smaller version of the lighting that enhanced the experience as well. The boat had two levels and the music could be heard on the lower deck just enough to allow my guest to dance if they wanted, but not too much where you could not hold a conversation. The music he played even lured the boat staff to dance while serving. Overall everyone had a great time!

    DJ Sherwin was amazing! He was extremely professional. He met with us to go through all the details before our event and made sure we were comfortable with everything. We had several changes, but he was very flexible accommodating our requests. On the day of, he arrived hours early to setup and to make sure everything was working properly. He made everything flow seamlessly and had our guest dancing all night! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.
