    Hire. This. Man.

    To sum up our experience with Chris as our wedding DJ and MC: the dance floor at our wedding venue literally BROKE because so many people were dancing their a$$e$ off (a repair-person on-site had quickly come to remove the broken floor tiles). For a little context, my now-wife and I went into our wedding worried that not many guests would be interested in dancing... So wow, Chris absolutely blew our (and our guests') socks off. We had a huge variety of guests including young, old, east coast, west coast, partiers, non-partiers, etc. And seriously everyone was on that dance floor. Chris did such an amazing job of catering the music selection, volume, decade, etc. to everyone. It was just an all around top-notch, rockin’ dance party that our friends and family are still raving about 6 months later. As an MC, Chris was a fantastic balance of classy and enthusiastic (the perfect vibe!). And don't even get us started on how much of a joy it was communicating with Chris leading up to our wedding- he's such a great guy and is simply a pleasure to work with.

    One of our very best decisions (and our most important piece of advice!) from our entire wedding planning process was trusting Chris with all the music/setlist decisions. Not only did this greatly simplify our to-do list, but Chris ran things like an absolute master. I wouldn’t give this advice for any other DJ/MC other than Chris - this is one of the huge benefits of hiring Chris. He’ll handle everything and do so in style! Chris is a professional who has seen it all: he knows how to get people on the dance floor and he knows how to work a crowd. Each any every song that would come on had our guests going “ohhhh!” and had people constantly rushing to the dance floor throughout the entire night. Chris read and ran the crowd amazingly and he did. not. miss. So please, for heavens sake, just hire him. (Thank you, thank you, thank you Chris!!!)

    Chris is the absolute BEST

    Chris absolutely made our wedding. Our wedding was in general not too grand, but there were a few things I knew I didn't want to skimp on: the food, the drinks, and the dancing (aka DJ). I am so happy we went with Chris. Our dance floor was the highlight for me of our wedding. He knows exactly how to keep the party going and makes sure the bride and groom are happy. He was great to work with during the whole planning process and I felt like he totally got the vibe we were going for. I am happy I just went with someone I could trust for everything - mics for speeches, music throughout, and the dance floor. I got so many guests commenting on how great Chris was - would 100% recommend!

    We Said 'I Do' - Chris made the wedding complete!

    We hired Chris originally for our 270 person wedding and used his services for our final 25 person ceremony. Through the multiple changes that occured this year, Chris never waivered to ensure our day was the best it could be. From the initial call to providing incredible energy the day of, Chris was absolutely amazing. We would HIGHLY recommend Chris for your wedding - if he is booked, change your wedding date to a time he is available!

    10/10 Hire. Him. NOW!

    Chris is everything you want and need in a DJ! We not only loved him for making our wedding unforgettable, but he is also just a cool guy you want to be friends with. He was so easy to work with, especially when we changed our venue location and size due to COVID-19. He is meticulous in timing music for the ceremony and also helped with the sound for our live stream. He went above and beyond and we would 100% use him again!

    Amazing DJ

    You can not go wrong hiring Chris Graves Music as your DJ. I can't imagine what our wedding would've been like without him. Chris will be the first to tell you how lit your dance floor will be, boy was he correct. I knew coming in that a lot of our guest weren't much of dancers. Chris had a the dance floor packed all night, everybody having the time of their life.
    Not only is he a fantastic, he is also one of the most genuine human beings we have ever met. We had photographer cancel on us 10 weeks out from our wedding day. Chris went out of his way to get ahold of his friend Loren with Alante photography to see if he would be willing to help us. Within a few days we had a contract signed. These two together are an unbeatable duo. I can't express how much I would recommend both of them. I can't imagine what our wedding would've been like without either of them. It was seriously perfect.
    Thank you so much Chris!

    Amazing!!!

    We had Chris DJ at our wedding on 8/6/2022 and it was absolutely amazing. Not only did Chris create the most epic dance party I've ever seen, he also took ownership over the flow of the entire event. From the moment our ceremony began, he was in control and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. Our entire event was outside, and I was nervous about sound quality, but his equipment was top notch, and all our guests could hear everything perfectly.

    I had many people come up to me the next day and say he was the best DJ they've seen at a wedding. So, do yourself a favor and hire Chris!

    One of the best things I did for my wedding was book Chris Graves Music. I never expected to have a DJ keep my wedding reception dance floor packed until after 1 in the morning, but Chris did just that. But the even more impressive part is how much more he did than just that. He is also an MC and kept the flow of the reception running smooth without a single hiccup or bump in the road all night. He is so talented and experienced with weddings and I could not be more impressed. He helped us pick an entrance song the day of (as we just could not think of one for the life of us in the weeks leading up), let us finalize our first dance song 15 minutes before it happened (we were between two), and kept us excited and dancing the entire day and night. He got everyone out on the dance floor from our grandparents to our college friends to our parents; there was never a time that the dance floor wasn’t full. Chris is so easy going and simply a dream to work with, booking him for your wedding is a decision you will not regret!

    When my wedding planner told me about Chris Graves as a potential DJ/MC, she completely raved about him, and I booked him right then and there. Trusting my planner, I had high expectations, and Chris did NOT disappoint. The first time we met him, my mom & I were blown away with how outgoing he is and how comfortable he made us feel. It was like I was talking to my best friend- that's how fun and easy to talk to he is! I left our meeting feeling so confident in him and excited. The day of, he delivered 100%. He made the evening flow so well with directing guests and letting us all know the sequence of events. When it came time for him to DJ towards the end of the night, he had the whole dance floor PACKED for 2 whole hours! My guests were sad when it was over, wishing we could dance longer! I truly believe Chris Graves is the best in the Seattle area and I recommend him without a doubt to everyone! He couldn't have been more perfect.

    Chris was such an amazing DJ! He served as a great master of ceremonies and was so helpful on our wedding day. He was always very professional and set the perfect mood for our wedding!! He has such a great sense of what songs to play according to the crowd; he kept our guest dancing ALL night, it was wonderful!!!

    Chris is amazing and his attitude toward our wedding day made us ever more excited. He worked really hard to make sure we had the songs that we wanted even if he didnt have them in his database of songs. Everything he did for us could not have turned out better he made sure everything ran smoothly and we didnt have to worry about a thing.

    Chris is a great DJ. My favorite thing about him is that he is a professional and not a cheesey DJ in the least. He also doesn't go off standardized playlists. He personalizes the music played to the bride and groom's taste.

    Chris is the very best DJ in the Puget Sound area!!! I've seen several weddings that he's DJ'd for, and no one even comes close!!! If you're looking for a DJ, your search stops with Chris.

    Chris was a phenomenal vendor! He surpassed every expectation that I had for music/emcee/DJ! His band was amazing, he knew how to keep the crowd on the dance floor, he was helpful before and during the wedding, he was by far one of the best vendors for my big day! I would recommend him to any bride.

    Chris was so fun to work with! He showed up super early, helped with all the set up, and made sure the whole night ran smoothly! He even coordinated everything with the other vendors so that our guest and photographer knew what was going on when! The dance floor always had people on it and he was very professional, NOT cheesey at all! I would book him again in a heart beat!

    Chris is the best you can buy. He did everything that we wanted. I wanted to suprise my new husband with his favoite song so Chris worked with his brother so they could get the notes right. No extra cost. He kept our friends happy so I felt relaxed. He was great. He is kind of pricey but it was the best money we spent..... Thank You Chris

    Chris was just awesome. When I hired him, I told him that our families could be sort of subdued and I wanted a DJ that could get everyone up and dancing without evoking either The Chicken Dance or YMCA. He delivered. Everyone had the best time and EVERYONE danced. There were people who hadn't danced in 20 years out there!

    This was a second wedding for both of us and so our focus was on the celebration itself, not on planning every little detail. I relied on Chris' expertise and I had him pick essentially all the music. We gave him a few songs for the ceremony and provided him with the general vibe we wanted and he did the rest. We also relied on him to guide the flow of events, from arrival of guests, to ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, toast, cake and dancing. He did all this very professionally. His touch was there but very subtly. He certainly wasn't center stage.

    He is expensive, but in my opinion, well worth it. He was always very prompt in returning calls and emails. We met with us before hand to get a feel about what we were like and to go over the schedule of events. He is at the event very early. He provided extensive lighting that set the mood.

    Our wedding was a great success and he was a large part of that. Couldn't be happier.

    Chris is a bit more expensive than the average DJ but not by much, and he is well worth it. He has a very professional demeanor and does all the set up of lighting and sound systems. An eloquent speaker who doesn't over talk or act cheesy but just makes sure the night runs smoothly. We filled out the online list of songs we wanted him to play but told him none but a couple were must and we trusted his judgment on what to play to please the crowd. The one think I would suggest is a day or two before the wedding talking to him on the phone and going over your musts besides your prior meeting with him just to make sure it is fresh in his head during the time he is prepping for your wedding anyway.
