    Dancin Shoes is the only way to go!!!!

    Stop looking around for other vendors and just pull the trigger on Dancin' Shoes DJ like now!! My big things for my wedding were good food and good music. Cate far over exceeded any expectation I could have possibly had for what our DJ was supposed to be like. My husband was busy most of wedding preparation season with law school stuff, and Cate basically turned in to my wedding planner. She was so organized, cut some amazing music to match the vision I had for the wedding, and just tore the dance floor up with her tracks. I don't think our guests have ever laughed so hard than when she played "It's Raining Men" at a gay wedding :D

    It was the best day of my life and Cate gets a lot of credit for that. She was willing to help out in so many ways and it was absolutely wonderful to work with her. Dancin' Shoes DJ is the only way to go for a Colorado wedding!!!!

    Absolute blast!

    Mike DJed my in-laws wedding a year before mine, which made it extremely easy to pick our DJ.

    He's fun, enthusiastic, easy to talk to, and extremely willing to guide you through the process, making recommendations and/or decisions when you're not sure what to do. His "day of" sheet makes it very easy to plan everything out and talk it over with your partner.

    Night of our wedding, the dance floor was full all night, which is exactly what we wanted, so needless to say he did a great job at our wedding as well.

    I think what really speaks to his abilities is that my in-laws have somewhat different musical taste relative to ours and so while the playlists had some overlap (you know the usual wedding classics) they also had some signficant differences that were very tailored to the couple, the guests, and the atmosphere, making sure everyone was having a blast.

    Fantastic Night with Fantastic Music

    Mike was the DJ for our wedding, and he did such a fantastic job. He was so helpful with suggestions on how we can pick music to play for the different generations of guests at our wedding, as well as explaining all the different times we may want a specific song to play. We had so much fun dancing to all the hits and favorites he played throughout the night, and he totally nailed our vision.
    We would highly recommend him and his company for anyone's special day!

    Unforgettable DJ Experience!

    Our wedding DJ Cate was absolutely incredible! From the moment we booked her, she was attentive, communicative, and offered valuable professional advice that ensured our big day would be a hit.
    On the wedding day, she executed everything flawlessly. The music selection, timing, and transitions were on point. She didn't just play songs; she curated an experience that had everyone on their feet.

    Her equipment was top-notch, and there wasn't a single hiccup in the audio or lighting. Our dance party was a blast, thanks to her fantastic mixes and ability to read the crowd.

    We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to set the tone and keep the party going. She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you for making it an epic celebration!

    Couldnt be happier

    We were absolutely thrilled with the incredible service provided by Anthony, our wedding DJ! From the initial planning stages to the last dance of the night, Anthony demonstrated unparalleled patience and professionalism. He took the time to understand our musical preferences, ensuring that the playlist perfectly reflected our vision for the celebration. Anthony's ability to read the crowd and seamlessly transition between genres kept the energy on the dance floor electric throughout the entire evening.

    What truly set Anthony apart was his unwavering commitment to creating an atmosphere that allowed us to fully experience the magic of our special day. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, effortlessly blending our favorite tunes with his own expert selections. Anthony's enthusiasm and passion for his craft were infectious, and it was evident that he took great joy in contributing to the joyous atmosphere of our wedding. Thanks to Anthony, our dance floor was alive with laughter and pure joy, making our wedding day an unforgettable celebration filled with love and fantastic music!

    Thank you for helping create our dream wedding from start to finish! You really kept the mood high, and played exactly what we wanted! You killed it and we can’t thank you enough! The lights were awesome too!

    Great Team, Awesome People to Work With

    Cate is so great to work with. She did a fabulous job of explaining everything and gave us great advice for the ceremony music. We actually ended up playing the artist she recommended.

    Johnny was our DJ. He played all the requested songs, kept everyone dancing, and was super nice. Carolina, who also worked with him, sent us some videos where we all danced as a group (our videographer was gone by that time, and it was so great to have this moment recorded).

    Personalized attention and well crafted DJ experience for our event

    We hired Dancing Shoes for our DJ at our wedding and the service delivered was not only amazing but well crafted for the eccentricities of the event. He listened to our requests and helped pull off an event that our friends and family are still talking about months after. We cannot recommend Dancin' Shoes DJ and Lighting enough and will make sure to spread the word how good the service we got was to everyone we know looking for a DJ. His understanding of our guests, event, and desired music floored me as a former music major.

    Simply the best

    Cate was THE BEST DJ!!! She helped make our wedding so fun and special, and the dance floor was packed all night. Everyone at Dancin' Shoes was kind and easy to work with, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ.

    Magical and Perfect Wedding

    Sean and Dancin' Shoes were the best DJ experience we could have asked for! Sean was very fun and professional, along with being communicative, personable and responsive the whole night. He helped keep us, our wedding party and wedding guests on track and groovin' smoothly all evening. He played exactly what we wanted to hear and stuck with our disco dancey vibes, along with the appropriate lighting which helped set the mood. He was smiling and enjoying himself, which we feel inspired others to do the same. Everyone danced through most of our cocktail hour and through the entire dance party at the end of the night. We feel the playlist was everything and we'll be listening to it the rest of our lives.

    We highly recommend Sean and Dancin' Shoes to anybody who is getting married, throwing an event or a spectacular dance party. We can't speak they're praises enough!

    Thank you to everyone at Dancin' Shoes!

    Love,

    The Sabucos

    The perfect choice in DJ/MC

    As the owner of a Denver based event planning company, I work with A LOT of MC/DJs. But when it came to choosing the perfect fit for my own wedding, there wasn't even a question of who we would pick. Michael is passionate about what he does, he's got a great positive energy, and he can read the room like it's his super-power. On top of that, he is organized, thorough, and easy to work with from beginning to end.

    As if all that weren't enough, Dancin' Shoes also has a ton of really awesome lighting options! IMO lighting is probably one of the most bang-for-your buck upgrades you can add to your event, and this team absolutely nails it!

    I am so grateful we were able to book Michael with Dancin' Shoes for our wedding, can't recommend them enough!

    Thank you for keeping everyone dancing the night away!

    The Dancin' Shoes team was incredible to work with for our wedding from start to finish. They were communicative, professional, and extremely helpful in providing us with an inclusive song guide and uplighting options. The whole team took the time to respond to emails and hop on calls with us leading up to the event. And day of, Sean, made everything flow perfectly from his song transitions to MC announcements. We received many compliments on how much people enjoyed the music we had and how personable Sean was. Our dance floor was packed from the first song up until the very last song. We cannot thank or recommend them enough!

    What a party!

    Mike did an amazing job with both our ceremony and reception. The lighting also looked fantastic, AND he was able to book and coordinate with our photo booth people giving us one less thing to worry about. He did a fantastic job with the music genres we picked and our guests spent the entire night on the dance floor. Our venue staff even commented on how fun of a wedding it was for them to work! Dancin' Shoes DJ is a FANTASTIC choice to have for your wedding.

    Party all night long

    Mike from Dancin' Shoes DJ was an absolutely fantastic choice for our wedding! He was super easy to work with from the very beginning, and was so knowledgeable and has thought of every aspect of our day which made the planning process a breeze. On the day of our wedding, he truly kept the party going with an incredible selection of music that had everyone on their feet and was also just a genuinely great guy. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special day. Thank you Mike for making it unforgettable!

    DJs/MCs make or break events and I would never choose anyone else!!

    Mike and Carolina did a fantastic job at our wedding on both the DJ/MC portion AND photography. We could not have asked for a better team to celebrate our special day. The amount of devotion to make sure we got the perfect playlist and photos was unparalleled. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a next level event!!

    Fantastic DJ, sound engineering and lighting

    Mike was fantastic DJ- we are so glad that we went with the top package to include lights and sound engineering. Mike was easy to work with and on the day of he made the event go smoothly. Our guests loved the music and everyone went out on the dance floor. We would definitely recommend his company for any event!

    I would recommend to everyone!!

    I cannot speak highly enough about the entire process of working with Dancin’ Shoes DJ and Lighting. From the beginning, they were very responsive and willing to work with us to customize our package to fit our budget. After we booked, we were sent a google doc, and my husband and I got to go through and list specific music choices, along with genres and artists we liked. Cate DJ’ed our wedding and she is so incredibly talented and professional. She helped to keep the entire reception on time, with introductions, toasts, and other announcements. She took the time to get to know my husband and I before our wedding, and that was absolutely reflected in the music she played. Everyone was immediately out on the dance floor and having a great time. I thought we’d have a challenge getting people out to dance, but the music was so fun that the dance floor was almost always filled. And the lighting was just perfect. So many people said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and that is largely because of the music! Thank you, Cate for the absolute best party of our lives! I would recommend her (And Dancin’ Shoes DJ and Lighting, generally) to all of my family, friends, and anyone else who would listen!

    Seamless, perfect entertainment

    Cate completely knocked it out of the park with our wedding. She was extremely easy to work with the entire team, including some miscommunication (on MY part) that she promptly stepped in to smooth over. The lighting was fantastic, and the guests were dancing all night long. I really couldn't imagine a better DJ/MC and I would 100% choose Cate again if I did it all over again. Everything about her operation was smooth and stress-free, which is exactly what you want on a wedding day.

    Best DJ Ever

    When I say that Michael and his assistant Carolyn were fire at our wedding, I feel like its an understatement. It was really important to my husband and I to have a DJ that could sense the energy in the room throughout our wedding day and keep the party going during the reception. Leading up to the 9 months of our wedding, I never once had worry or anxiety about our DJ. Michael was super communicative, organized, and gave us all the information we needed to feel at ease. The sound/audio for our ceremony was flawless! Michael was the perfect MC for our dinner, kept things moving with toasts/speeches, and picked the perfect music over dinner to match the energy of the room. I had 4 different people come up to me during the dancing at our reception saying how obsessed they were with our DJ! Two of them are girls getting married and they're already talking about reaching out to DJ Dancin' Shoes for their own wedding day! From start to finish, you guys were perfection. Thank you SO much for helping make the best day of our lives possible! It wouldnt have been the same without you! 100/10 would recommend :)

    Above and Beyond

    Every once in awhile, if you are lucky, you have a customer service experience that truly makes a difference in your life. I had one of those experiences with Dancin’ Shoes DJ and Lighting. My dear friends were getting married and asked me to sing a song at their wedding. Of course I said yes, but to pull off the performance, this music entailed several notable challenges that were beyond me to solve. I needed help not just from someone with digital competence, but also someone with musical expertise. Much to my relief, Cate Osborn has both. She used her mastery of both domains to help create the accompaniment I needed to sing for my friends, and she and her team gave me the support and encouragement I needed on the big day to deliver my musical gift as I had hoped. Every contact I had with Cate and her Dancin’ Shoes crew was professional and friendly. I cannot speak highly enough of Cate and this agency. I will forever be grateful to Cate for going above and beyond. And by the way, they also put on an epic party for the reception as well. This is a business to support and these are people you want to work with for your most momentous events. Thank you Cate and Dancin’ Shoes!
