    The perfect wedding playlist

    We had an absolutely incredible time at our wedding and have received so much positive feedback from guests about the music. The dance floor was packed the entire night with all ages and types of people. We feel like it was a smashing success! Jackson was a wonderful DJ and working with the entire Dart team through the whole process was so smooth and easy. We're really appreciative of how simple and supportive the entire Dart team made this. There are so many things to track and worry about when planning a wedding and the music was never something had to stress about. We had full confidence in Dart and they delivered!

    TLDR; Don't sleep on DART Collective.

    TLDR; Don't sleep on DART Collective.

    When it came to planning our wedding, DART Collective was the MVP! From the get-go, they brought the party vibes with their enthusiasm and professionalism. Santi, Mason, and DJ Cory were rockstars, making the whole process a breeze with their responsiveness.

    On the big day, DJ Cory crushed it. The music flowed seamlessly, keeping the energy high all night long. And let's talk about those vinyl records - they added a cool, retro vibe that our guests couldn't get enough of!

    Seriously, wedding music is the heartbeat of your day, and DART Collective knows how to set the perfect tone. Saying goodbye is bittersweet; I'll miss working with them and hope to catch one of their DJs or bands at a future event!

    If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, don't skimp on the tunes. Music moments are more than just the dance floor and really set the tone for the entire event!

    Great Vibes!

    We can't recommend Dart Collective enough! Sam really took the time to get to know our musical interests and what we wanted out of our wedding reception (to keep as many people dancing for as long as possible) and he did not disappoint! Our musical taste is quite broad and he was able to integrate a wide range of songs seamlessly. He brought so much good energy and kept the dancefloor full of guests of all ages from start to finish!

    The best in Austin!

    Dart collective brought down the house for my wedding! Seriously our guests could not stop talking about how cool and vibey our DJ Cory + our wicked awesome 3 live musicians were! If I could rate them 10 stars I would! Cory was so cool, easy going, and he was the EXACT DJ I was hoping to have for our wedding and the Bongo man was going wild it was THE BEST! Our guests never left the dance floor and the dart team accepted last minute requests and made it work! Highly highly recommend Dart as they really made our big day so so fun!! We had a great experience from the planning all the way up to the big day. Thank you so much Dart team!

    Fantastic DJ

    We hired Dart Collective for our wedding and they were fantastic! We had a call with our DJ, Jonathan, leading up to our event to talk through the timeline and hear his suggestions. We received many compliments on the playlist throughout the evening. Thank you!! Would highly recommend

    Dart is amazing

    We hired the Mosaics with Dart Collective for our April 2024 wedding at Calamigos Ranch. Every single guest said the band is unreal and our dance floor was more packed than any wedding I have been to. Not only did the band blow our socks off, Dart helped us with processional music, recessional music, and an amazing playlist for the cocktail hour. I was nervous to have a band that sounded like cruise ship karaoke, and instead got an all-star team of insane musicians. They are amazing. I would hire Dart again in a heartbeat.

    Get the party atmosphere going

    We loved using Dart Collective! My husband is a big music guy and he loved the music mapping process that they use to help organize everything. My husband and I have very different taste when it comes to music and they were able to meld both of our styles perfectly. To top it off, they were affordable enough for us to be able to add a little extra special something to our wedding music experience and hire a live saxophone player to play for the night. Our guests absolutely loved it and we could not keep people off the dance floor.

    Highly recommend!

    I cannot recommend Dart Collective more highly! From our first conversation with the team, they were receptive to our requests while offering creative ideas to enrich the experience. All of the coordination leading up to the event was professional and seamless, and the band and DJ were world-class and kept the energy and dance floor going all night. Thank you so much to the Dart Collective team for bringing our wildest dreams to life!

    Impeccable Vibes

    Dart DJ is a vendor who we will recommend to ANYONE who is getting married. I have been to weddings before that have cleared out early because the "DJ" was either playing music that was not part of the wedding vibe or was loud and in the guest's faces. Dart DJ is NOT one of those DJs.

    Dart works with the couple to understand both their music preferences, the desired vibe of the wedding and then seamlessly puts together a night of music that fits the moment - from the processional to the final song of the night. Dart met with both of us to learn about us as humans, they built a relationship with us before the wedding so we were all familiar with each other the day of the wedding (even though we have a wedding planner).

    Everyone after the wedding was raving about how amazing the music was at the wedding. Thank you Dart DJ and Andrew for making our night so perfect and giving our guests a night to remember.

    Best in the Biz

    The Dart Collective team was amazing since day 1! They helped curate the perfect music for our wedding day. Everyone was super kind and accommodating. From organizing our live music to finding the perfect DJ, we had the best time. We never left the dance floor. 100/10!!

    Unforgettable Musical Experience with Dart Collective!

    Look no further. Dart Collective made our day THE BEST.

    We opted for a string trio for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and the seamless transition between classical elegance and contemporary melodies was nothing short of spectacular. The musicians exhibited extraordinary skill, setting a sophisticated tone that perfectly complemented the different parts of our celebration.

    Dart Collective struck the perfect balance between jazz sophistication and upbeat fun. The combination of a DJ, saxophone player and a drummer for the reception created an atmosphere that had our guests raving. Numerous attendees told us it was the best musical and dance experience they've ever had at a wedding, and we couldn't agree more :)

    The team effortlessly adapted to the changing vibes of our celebration, ensuring that each moment was accompanied by the perfect soundtrack. They understood our vision and brought it to life with an energy that had everyone on their feet.

    Our decision to include La Hora Loca in the reception was one of the highlights of the evening, and Dart Collective made it absolutely perfect. The energetic beats from the DJ, the saxophone adding flair, and the rhythmic beats of the drums created a lively and unforgettable experience. It was exactly what we envisioned and more.

    Working with Dart Collective was not only a professional experience but also a genuinely enjoyable one. The team was approachable, responsive, and took the time to understand our preferences. Their enthusiasm for our day was evident, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Shout out to Julia!

    Our deepest gratitude to Dart Collective for creating the soundtrack to the most important day of our lives. If you're searching for a musical ensemble that leaves a lasting impression, Dart Collective is the ultimate choice.

    Thank you, Dart Collective, for making our wedding day truly extraordinary!

    Sincerely,
    John & Sydney

    A fantastic choice!

    You must hire Dart Collective for your wedding! They really listen to what your music interests are and pair you with someone that is totally in line with your taste. Our DJ, Zeh, put together a spectacular playlist that had every single one of our wedding guests dancing all night. In fact, one of our guests said, "I've never been to a wedding where not a single person sat down after the music started." We gave him an idea of what we wanted (along with some examples of specific songs) and Zeh threw in some surprises that delighted everyone there. The following day, people couldn't stop talking about what a great job he did. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

    Classy, Professional DJ with Impeccable Taste

    Dart Collective was absolutely the right choice for our wedding. From our first inquiry to the last song they played the night of our wedding, we were more than pleased with their professionalism, communication, taste, and presentation. They were quick to respond to any question we had when first chatting with them, providing detailed answers while genuinely wanting to get to know about us, our event and our music tastes. They were well experienced with our venue as well, so it was totally plug and play when planning the night. The "Music Map" they provided was exactly what we wanted. We were able to provide playlists and favorite songs for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing. They asked for "Must Plays" to ensure our favorite songs were played at specific points in the evening, as well as "Do Not Plays", so we could avoid any music that we don't like (so crucial!) They absolutely nailed our specific song cues for processional and first dances, and even had the right start and end time for each track. They also double checked they had the right version of each of those cues before the wedding. Besides all of those professional bits, and just as importantly, our DJ (Eddie S.) had SUCH good taste when it came to reading the dance floor, picking up on the actual vibe of the wedding guests, and doing really impressive live mixes of our favorite songs using vinyl records. A lot of our guests (many who are also DJs, musicians, audiophiles and dancers) came up to us during and after the wedding to gush about how great the music was. We had so much fun on the dance floor! Eddie was also incredibly gracious and professional, a great MC for the evening with his calm, warm and genuine speaking tone and overall fun vibe. 10/10 would recommend you go with Dart Collective for your event if you want to make sure the music is on point, you want your guests to have a great time dancing, and you want a professional feel to your event.

    Dart Collective Hits Every Note!

    Had an absolutely amazing experience with Dart Collective as the premier DJ service at our recent wedding in Malibu! We danced all night long, and our DJ Zeh did not miss a beat. The accompanying live music services (we chose saxophone) were a blast and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We can't recommend Dart Collective enough for your next event or celebration!

    The music sets the tone for the entire night and was the most important vendor choice we made for our wedding. Fantastic choice going with Dart.

    My husband and I were soooo happy to work with Dart Collective for our wedding. We had a specific vision for what the vibe of our wedding dinner and dance floor would be. For us, the music sets the tone for the entire energy of the evening and can truly make or break a wedding. We knew we had to hire a team we could trust 100%. Our initial meeting with Jesse felt so right—we just vibed and talked about music and our taste and our vision. We instantly knew that hiring the Dart team would be a good decision for what we were going for. The customer service and communication throughout the planning process was amazing. They sent us a music map in which we outlined what we were going for, including genres, artist, songs, and even an energy shift that we wanted to happen over the course of the night. Our DJ Dani pulled it off perfectly. The dance floor was lit all night; we all had so much fun!!! There was something for everyone, and yet it was still unexpected and nontraditional. Overall an amazing experience with a fantastic team.

    Best decision ever

    I seriously couldn't imagine our wedding without Dart - hiring them to DJ our wedding was the best vendor decision we made. DJ Dent was amazing - super high energy and so fun. He really made our whole wedding flow so easily with the song choices he made throughout the night. Our music map was all over the place with genres and styles, but he blended them all together beautifully! We LOOOOVE to dance and it was such a huge concern of ours to make sure the songs were on point. He played banger after banger and everyone kept saying that the next song was better than the last.

    The whole process was seamless thanks to Jesse, Schuyler and Ruby - they were wonderful! We are so grateful for Dart and Dent - cannot thank you enough!!

    10/10 Recommend Dart Collective!


    We hired Dart Collective for our wedding and they delivered 10/10 and then some! We had Django Foxtrot play for our ceremony + cocktail hour and The Half Moons perform for the reception/dance party. Each of the musicians and vocalists were so incredibly talented and our family and friends were completely blown away by the brilliance and energy of both bands. Our guests are still talking about how awesome the music was throughout the night! In addition, the staff behind the scenes were so helpful and professional in coordinating all of the logistics with our wedding planner and venue and making sure the music repertoire was exactly as we envisioned. We can't recommend them enough. The energy at our wedding was off the charts and we owe it to Dart Collective!

    10/10 Experience!

    From the very beginning booking the Dart collective was such an easy and pleasant process! They have a catalog of amazing djs, bands, and artists, and matched us up with Jason, who was amazing to work with. He did a fabulous job of encapsulating the vibe we were going for and him and the team at Dart Collective made us feel so special every step of the way.. He played amazing music all night and our guests had the best time because of them! I highly recommend booking them for any parties or weddings.

    Wedding Reception Good Times

    Thank you thank you for delivering such a special and unique musical experience for our wedding reception. We are so grateful we got to work with Dart Collective. We all had such an amazing time. Our DJ was such a joy to work with and delivered the good times from beginning to end. From the music at cocktail hour and dinner to dancing, Dart Collective helped create something special for us that was truly unforgettable. Dart is definitely unique and sets the bar high.

    Awesome music!

    We did DJ (Kyle)+ Live (live sax, unfortunately I didn't catch their name) for our wedding and it was awesome! Jesse and Ruby were really fast to reply and made planning out our music selections so fun. After we filled out our music map and included playlists for all parts of the night, they sent us a dropbox that had songs that would be played for our review.

    The good:
    - We got a live saxophonist and it was AWESOME. Our first dance song has a sax solo in it, and it is one of our favorite songs of all time. It's hard to believe that the live saxophonist could make it better, but they really did. It was so special, and I really can't wait to see the video of our first dance.
    - Music for the entire day except for the end of night dancing was perfect. Played at the right volume to fit the vibe, and a perfect mix of the songs we requested and selections from the Dart team that matched what we were going for.

    Could've been better:
    - I'm not sure where things went wrong, but MANY songs from our dancing part of the night weren't played. These were songs that were actually in the Dropbox link we got from Dart (I checked after to confirm I didn't miss something), so we thought we were on the same page that they would be played. We were waiting all night, thinking that maybe they were saving up our favorite songs to close the night with, but it never came :(. We put so much effort into all of our playlists, but especially put a ton of effort into the dancing playlist. A lot of songs getting skipped was a pretty big let down, but of course we still had fun. The music that got played was fine but just really not our taste.

    Overall I'd still recommend dart, but I highly recommend that you ask your coordinator or someone else to keep an eye on whether the songs you want are actually getting played.
