  Dave is the BEST!

  Dave is incredible! We could not have had our day run more smoothly and I owe it to Dave & his daughter. He acts as a day of coordinator and is so knowledgable. He brings his expertise and your vision together to make an amazing event.

  Dave is the BEST!!

  My mom lives in Redmond, OR & listens to Dave on the radio and suggested we book him for our wedding. My husband and I live in WA, but came down to OR to get married. The communication with Dave via e-mail was always timely, never had to wait long for a response, and he was always very flexible and accommodating. We met with Dave a few days before the big day so we could meet in person, discuss the timeline, the vibes for the wedding, and the music selection. He is a PLEASURE to work with. If you are stuck on any sort of song selection, he is quick to respond with ideas. He also has the BEST personality! Great sense of humor, very authentic & genuine. All around great person. He did not take over the show at the wedding because he wanted it to be all about us. He walked us through what was happening throughout the night so we were never surprised, and he stayed on track with our schedule! I would hire him again and again! I definitely recommend him for your next event that needs a DJ! Also, if you are getting married, make sure to play his shoe game..it was a HIT at our wedding!

  Perfect DJ for our perfect day!!

  Everyone told me it was going to be the best day ever - and it WAS! I was so thankful for the amazing people who helped me to get there, especially Dave. Dave was so thoughtful to meet with me ahead of time to find out what kind of music we wanted for each element of the wedding and he totally nailed it. Dave is a local DJ in Bend and I suppose when you are on the air a lot you have to be really chatty, but when I met with Dave he described himself as wanting to take a back seat and making sure the bride/groom shine on their big day - which is exactly what he did. He made sure to keep things moving along but was always kind of in the background just making things happen. He had a really easy website to use to enter in recommendations you have for music and even offered an extensive list of "top songs" for things like first dances and ceremony and such which was really helpful. Plus he was just super nice and fun to work with. I'd definitely recommend Dave!

  Experienced, Professional, Easy to Work With

  Dave was easy to work with and professional. We took the option to give him a few must play songs and let him come up with the rest of the playlist. He read the crowd very well and kept folks on the dance floor all night. Dave also helped facilitate the evening by making announcements and introducing speakers. We would definitely recommend Dave to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

  Dave was fabulous from start to finish! We hired him for both the ceremony and reception and we wouldn't have been able to keep our timeline on track without him.

  My husband and I are so happy we chose to work with Dave Clemens for our wedding. Dave was incredibly professional, organized, and fun! He played great music the whole night and did an amazing job MC'ing the wedding. The night ran so smoothly because he kept us on track and kept everyone engaged. We would highly recommend him!

  Dave did a wonderful job DJing our wedding. He is very responsive and has a lot of great ideas. He kept the wedding fun and lively. I was a little worried to pick Dave because his prices were better than all of his competition in the area, but if you don't need the strobe lights then Dave is an awesome choice!

  Dave Clemens is the MAN! He's a radio DJ that really cares about making your special day his priority! After listening to one of his live shows I was sold! He's very professional and his website really makes your wedding music timeline a piece of cake. Thank you Dave!

  Dave is extremely professional and way more than a DJ. I have nothing but compliments from our wedding, and a lot of that credit needs to go to Dave. He knows how to keep the party flowing, engaging, and everyone had a great time. He is flexible with last minute changes, and does a great job of communicating and creating a "feel" that fits your vibe. I honestly do not think I would allow a loved one to have a wedding in Central Oregon and have any other DJ than Dave.

  Dave was wonderful to work with. He was great at music selections, very responsive when we contacted him, and very reasonable compared to other DJs in town. He kept the flow of things going at the wedding without being over the top. When I initially was getting quotes for DJs in town, Dave was the first to respond and answer all of my questions in a very timely manner. Anytime I had a question throughout the planning process he answered immediately. He was very pleasurable to work with and we would highly recommend him!

  Dave was great to work with. He and my photographer worked together wonderfully to help run the reception smoothly and take any worry about logistics away from me.

  As father of the bride, I found Dave excellent to work with, professional, and with a huge variety music. He did a great job and made the party fun for all ages.

  eh - should have splurged on someone else

  I would not recommend Dave to friends getting married. He played music and brought the equipment so that was fair, but he did not listen to my requests as a bride and he messed up our first dance. I specifically stated I wanted the explicit versions of songs and he ONLY played the clean versions. Then, I wrote out a very long explanation of how we wanted our first dance and asked if he had questions. He assured me he did not but when it came to our wedding day, he did not follow my request and our first dance was ended abruptly and awkwardly. We took lessons, practiced for months, everything and then had this moment ruined for us - that sucked. Our dance floor was busy but that was because 1. I made a specific list of the songs I wanted and gave LOTS of direction prior and 2. we had light up cowboy hats (purchased by us) that set the tone it was a party. It had nothing to do with Dave as a DJ.

  Dave leased us a fellow DJ he had hired as he was busy on our wedding day, however the week before our wedding that DJ backed out and he assured us the new DJ he had found for us was even better. However, I could have done better than he did. The DJ or Dave failed to even call us before the wedding to figure out a timeline and to make sure everything was on track to run smoothly, even after I had told him what times I was available for a phone conversation (emails don't just work all the time). THE WORST PART IS, HE PLAYED THE WRONG SONG FOR OUR FIRST DANCE. He then had to play another first dance after me and the groom were terribly upset. The DJ had no idea what he was doing, he was not competent enough to even run the reception on his own and family friends kept having to tell him what to do. He seemed like he was in his own little world the whole time and didn't care whether or not things went according to time. I specifically asked him to have the garter and bouquet toss before the photographer left, which didn't happen. He didn't stick to the list of music we gave him, we said mostly country and we got a weird pop mixture the whole time it seemed like. He also didn't even play some of our must play songs. The DJ can make or break your reception, and in our case he broke it. None of our guests had even known that we had our first dance, or that we cut the cake because the DJ failed to announce it or make sure the guests knew. He also couldn't even be competent enough to usher our guests to their table. The groom and I were outside ushering people in. IT WAS A WRECK. IF YOU HIRE DAVE MAKE SURE YOU GET DAVE AND NOT ONE OF HIS INCOMPETENT DJ'S. Dave sent us a post card saying he "hoped everything went somewhat smoothly" like the DJ had told him himself that it was a wreck.
