    The best!!!!

    We couldn't speak more highly of Dart. Sam was the absolute best to work with, responsive, easygoing, and very open to working with us to try to achieve our music vision. On the actually day of our wedding everything was totally seamless and we couldn't have had more fun - all our friends were raving about the music. So thankful to Sam and team for both being extremely professional and also bringing the best vibes!

    Dart is the goat

    Hiring Dart Collective was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! DJ Paul + sax had everyone on the dance floor from the second it opened up until it was time to leave. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend using Dart Collective. They made the process extremely easy on us during the wedding planning stage and blew the event portion out of the water. Thanks again Dart and DJ Paul!

    Dart is the best! :)

    John and I could not thank you and the team enough for being such an integral part of our day. We’re BIG music people and it was so important we found someone who just “got” the vision and what we wanted for the night - Dani and the team killed it and we could not be more grateful!

    Cabo wedding called "Most Fun Wedding Ever" by many attendees. Thank you Dart!


    We hired Dart for our wedding in Cabo in the Spring. 
    We went with the 3-piece horn band and DJ, and they were amazing! Many of our guests even told us it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. We attribute a lot of that to Dart! 

    The entire process was easy, and their service was top-notch. Our wedding was nearly postponed due to a family health crisis, and Dart was accommodating in helping us explore our options. Fortunately, we were able to continue with the wedding as originally planned. 

    We provided a bunch of playlists in advance, and they paired us with a great DJ. Phil and the horn section killed it with a funky set that kept our 180 guests of all ages and music tastes dancing all night.

    At 10, we transitioned inside to an “after party” with more of a disco/house vibe, and Phil switched it up like a pro. 

    I work in music and used to be a DJ myself. My wife and I have a very eclectic music taste, and I could not be more critical. These guys knocked it out of the park. If you are considering hiring Dart for your function, they are worth every penny, and I cannot recommend them more highly. 

    We also hired a solo performer to soundtrack our walk down the aisle and play for our guests during cocktail hour. He was great as well!

    10/10 - Great DJ and easy to work with

    From the beginning Dart was extremely responsive and professional. They provide a form for you to fill out to get a sense of your taste. After that, we were able to have a quick call with our DJ, Jordan, to go over our vibe and any musical cues, announcements, and specifics.

    Jordan really understood what we were going for and provided his own suggestions beforehand. We were so happy with the final result and have gotten countless complements on the music at our wedding. Could not recommend Dart enough.

    Amazing wedding DJ!

    I'm so happy we hired DART to DJ our wedding. The team was super professional responsive throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, everyone was on the dance floor all night. The best part was def the live sax. Cannot recommend enough!

    No Frills DJ and Entertainment

    We found Dark Collective after a thorough online search, and their vibe matched our energy perfectly. Sam, our point of contact, was super communicative and made us feel very comfortable about their services. They were professional and organized, providing a music map app to streamline our preferences and minimize back-and-forth communication. Most interactions were via email, but they were always available for important phone calls when needed.

    On the wedding day, Isaac, our DJ, and the performers coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinators, and everything went smoothly. They were kind and professional, and their performance greatly enhanced the vibe of the night. The live saxophonist and percussionist playing along with Isaac kept our guests engaged and energized the room. The music selection was spot-on, adhering to our preferences perfectly.

    We absolutely recommend Dark Collective. They were fun to work with, delivered everything we asked for, and maintained clear communication throughout. There was no miscommunication, and they put on a great show. We would definitely hire them again.

    - Professional and organized with excellent communication.
    - Seamless coordination on the wedding day.
    - Live performance enhanced the atmosphere and kept guests engaged.

    BEST dance party

    hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. The entire DART team are so talented and our DJ Misha was amazing to work with. They provided such a detailed outline of what we needed to provide to make our wedding customized to us and our guests are still raving about how fun the dance floor was. If you're looking for a fun party-hire DART Collective today! You won't regret it!

    Wedding in Northern California

    We hired Dart Collective for our wedding in northern California. They did a fantastic job. We provided them a sampling of music we liked and they curated it into a full-day collection for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Would 100% recommend.

    The perfect vibe!

    Music was everything to us, and when we pivoted from our plan of having a live band, I knew we needed an amazing DJ. I had already saved Dart Collective on Instagram, so when they were on our venue’s (SmogShoppe) recommended vendor list, I knew I had to reach out. It was one of the easiest tasks to check off our list, and every interaction was seamless and easygoing.

    We had our DJ Paul for the entire event – from pre-ceremony to dancing – and he absolutely nailed our vibe. We gave him a lengthy song list on our mind map, allowing us to hear our favorite songs while allowing him to craft perfect song choices, transitions, and flow. The energy on the dance floor was exactly what we hoped for, and people came up to us all night saying how incredible the DJ was. It felt like they really understood our vision and brought it to life. I would work with Dart Collective again in a heartbeat!

    Hannah & David's Wedding with Dart!

    This company is phenomenal. Our DJ, Phil, brought REAL records for his DJ set at our wedding and played all the songs we wanted plus some songs that were in the same genera. They were not the boring/typical DJs that are seen at weddings usually, the set up is cool, the mixing is top notch and the sound was perfect. We had a wedding of over 135 people and not a single person had anything bad to say about the DJ. 10/10 would work with them again. Go Dart go!

    They were the best!!

    Dart and DJ Zeh was awesome!! We were recommended them through our wedding planner and had a specific sound in mind for our wedding and Jesse was so patient with finding us the perfect DJ in Zeh. After the wedding, I had so many people comment on how much they loved the wedding music and how Zeh had such good energy. He made our day exactly what we were hoping. Also worth noting, we were worried about the ceremony microphones and sound because we had been to a few weddings with terrible ceremony sound issues, but Dart's setup was perfect and there were no issues at all. Thanks Dart and Zeh!!

    Wedding Day - DJ & Live Musicians

    We couldn't have asked for better wedding entertainment than Dart Collective. Their combination of DJ services and live music was perfect for our event, and they helped create the magical atmosphere we had dreamed of. We highly recommend Dart Collective to anyone looking for top-notch entertainment for their special day.

    Gotta Go with Dart!

    I think the included picture of my wife's uncle on the dance floor at our wedding says everything you need to know when it comes to booking Dart Collective! Our main goal for our wedding was to be a big, fun dance party for us and all of our guests (I love to dance at weddings) and Dart Collective helped make that a reality!

    We were originally drawn to Dart Collective, after a recommendation from our wedding and interacting with their booth at a vendor open house, because we had the idea of our favorite Talking Heads song being played by a string trio as we walked down the aisle, and Dart's The Strings group already had the song in their repertoire! Once we got chatting with Schuyler and Jesse (and later Boon), who were all super helpful during the entire process, we booked Dart for both the string trio and our reception DJ.

    Ahead of the wedding, Dart Collective shared a "music map" living document for us to fill out with our music tastes and must-plays and so on so that they'd already have an idea of what we wanted well before the wedding day. The Strings played from invitation time through the ceremony and cocktail hour and our guests were VERY impressed with them. then the DJ Lucy took over for the dinner and party, keeping everyone dancing almost the entire time. All of them were amazing and did an awesome job. We and our families and our guests all had the time of our lives, largely thanks to Dart Collective.

    THE Premium Option

    Sam and the whole team were a dream to work with.
    I'll break down why:

    * They took our date very quickly. We were late to inquire, and after a great chemistry call, they locked it in within the week.
    * Had a reasonable rate and worked with us to make it happen.
    * Their interface for sending references and preferences was easy and integrated, and most importantly WORKED. Our songs got played perfectly on the day.
    * Used our inspiration and built on it in a way that made the dance floor electric.
    * Gracefully avoided requests, but allowed the ones we wanted.
    * Came with 3 set ups, so all our locations were pre-set up in every location.
    * Zero feedback, awkward "is this thing on" moments, or struggling to hear speakers, even when they're bad with holding the mic.

    From the music, to everything in between, you can't go wrong. We triple-bid the project, and Dart was easily our strongest choice.

    Great experience

    Dart Collective was recommended to us by our venue manager as the “coolest” option and that reputation definitely held up! The process of working with them and putting together a music map for inspiration was super easy — and they were very patient with us waiting until the last minute! DJ Jackson’s picks during the reception were exactly what we were hoping for and got everyone dancing at the right time.

    Eddie is the best!

    Best DJ company to work with for your wedding! They are very professional, really good at listening to what you want for the day, and overall just very talented DJs. We had Eddie as our DJ for our wedding and he was just the absolute best! Fully understood what type of vibes and music we were looking for :)

    The Nightmove or bust

    so beyond grateful we were able to have The Nightmoves as our wedding band - they absolutely crushed it and had our guests dancing all night long, which was exactly what we wanted!! Many of our guests asked how we found this incredible band and complimented how talented they were. Seriously 10/10 would get married again just to party with them :)

    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.
