Sam was great!!

My daughter hired Sam and he was fantastic! Attentive to detail and coordinated the reception with our venue perfectly. And he played all the songs I requested as the father of the bride!! :)

Sam is the best! My experience with Sam was absolutely wonderful! He was always responsive to all emails, questions, and concerns. In our meetings with Sam leading up to the wedding he offered a lot of guidance and advice throughout the entire process--he is such a kind person. On the night of the wedding, he was organized, was able to read the crowd and had the perfect music throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and open dancing. He kept us out on the dance floor the entire time. I would recommend Sam to anyone! Thank you for helping us make our night SO much fun!!

Sam was a great wedding DJ - he was very easy to work with and really wanted to make sure that our wedding music was what we wanted and accurately reflected our style. He did an awesome job of MC'ing without overtaking the day or being cheesy, which was perfect. I highly recommend him to DJ your wedding!

Sam was such a consummate professional. He was patient and suggestive with us throughout the whole process of choosing our music and key songs. He was also super awesome for guiding us through the timing of everything. You can tell he has a vast experience in his craft. On the day of our wedding, he showed up early and made everything run like a well-oiled machine. We had so many people come up to us after the fact saying how smooth and efficient he made our day. Can't recommend his services enough. We wish we could get married again just to book him. Thanks again, Sam. You truly made our day even more special!

Sam was absolutely amazing and was a huge part of making our reception perfect. Our original plan was to create our own playlist to showcase our favorite artists and songs and have a friend play it for us, worrying that a DJ would miss the mark on what we liked and the vibe we wanted for our guests. We gave Sam a list of some of our favorite artists and genres. The playlist he put together was better than what we could have done ourselves and completely validated that hiring a DJ was by far the best decision. We got so many compliments on how great the music selections were, how they were a great reflection of our taste in music and how well he kept the celebration going. We had more fun than we could have imagined and thank Sam so much for being a huge part of that. We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

We had such an amazing wedding day thanks to Sam!! From our initial phone call I could tell we were on the same page...Sam is all about reading the room and playing the right songs at the right time to make sure everyone stays on the dance floor. Sam did all of our music, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and party, and he was professional and organized. He communicated with my coordinator at my venue to work out the timing of our processional, and made sure to keep to the hotel's timeline of the evening, moving us along from dinner to our dance with our parents to the party. He even checked in with us throughout the night and made sure we didn't need anything. He was a great MC too! Our dance floor was jam packed all night long, and he really has a great sense of when to play the right song. Our guests loved him and his picks, and we had a large range of ages and music tastes in attendance. Sam is an amazing DJ, and he will make sure you have a great party!

Thanks to him, we went into our wedding day knowing that the reception was going to be a blast, and we weren't disappointed!

Sam was a fantastic DJ to work with. He was on time, professional, full of energy and made our reception a blast. He played the perfect combination of songs we requested through his online system along with his own mix that meshed perfectly and he played them all at the right times so the dance floor was always fun! Sam checked in with us leading up to the wedding to make sure he had the time of events right, the type of music, and even the right pronunciations for the wedding party right. His level of detail was so amazing he was so easy to work with. He also was sure to check in with us the day of throughout the night to make sure we were doing good and to see if we needed anything from him. We would absolutely recommend DJ Sam to anyone.

The success of our reception is owed to DJ Sam! He kept the music up the whole time and the dance floor was packed the entire time! He is very easy to work with and responsive. The type of music we wanted (and didn't want) was paid attention to and made it our night. He does a great job with mixing songs and blending them and paying attention to the feedback of the crowd (no just play on a playlist here!). We were referred from a friend and we have already referred him on to another friend!

We love DJ Sam! Leading up to our wedding, he was shockingly responsive, replying to emails within minutes and never making a stressed out bride wait. He worked with us to personalize our wedding to include our college fight song and tactfully handle a stepparent dance. Most importantly, he knows how to jam. He started out with some oldies and built up to rap, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. We had a blast thanks to Sam. You can tell he's passionate about his job - he's well worth the money. Thank you, Sam!

Wow!! Words cannot describe how happy we were with Sam Crawford! He was absolutely wonderful, easy to work with and just such a nice guy as well! Throughout our entire wedding he came up to me (Bride) to make sure I was happy and things were going as planned, which meant so much! We also had numerous guests complement that this wedding was the most fun wedding that they had ever been to!! He truly knows what he was doing. Thank you so much SAM, I will recommend you to anyone I talk to!

Sam was easily one of our favorite vendors from our wedding. We had such a blast dancing the entire night! Sam helped to make our party amazing and so much fun. Sam provided the music and equipment for all aspects of our wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and he also did the beautiful uplighting for our reception. The uplighting made such a difference in the room, and I love seeing it in the pictures we have now. Sam was incredibly easy to work with, and his online planning tool is so helpful. We had a few phone calls with him to coordinate everything, and he answered any questions I sent by email very quickly. We made a playlist for the reception, and he took that as a starting place and added more songs that we enjoyed. I am so grateful for how much fun the dancing was, and it went flawlessly thanks to Sam. We have received many compliments on Sam's work, and we would recommend him in a heart beat. Thanks for everything Sam!

Sam is like a hidden gem in the world of wedding vendors! Sam was recommended to us by our photographers, and we were so glad they did. Unlike all of the other cheesy or overly aggressive DJ's we'd previously met, Sam was down to earth, gave the best recommendations and really cared about what we wanted. Our dance floor was not only packed the entire night, but Sam was also so attentive during dinner. He checked in on us and ensured we always had a drink in our hand or would grab anything we needed, something I would have never expected from a DJ. He kept the music going and wasn't overtaking the mic with self promotions like other DJs. His style is on point too, even our groomsmen were asking him fashion advice :) If you want a DJ that is classy, yet still cutting edge, we would highly recommend Sam. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!.

We found the most incredible DJ in Pittsburgh on Thumbtack! From our first meeting all the way thru our wedding reception...Sam Crawford was incredibly professional and gave us exactly what we wanted. We fretted over wedding music, but Sam took the burden off our backs and everything flowed like a river. Don't hesitate for one moment to contact Sam for your music needs. You will be more than satisfied.
Sam, thank you with all our hearts. Best of all, we also made a new friend. Becky & Paul

A 5-star rating isn't high enough to accurately represent our experience with DJ Sam Crawford. We had been to 2 weddings with Sam as the DJ and he was the first vender we booked. My wife and I didn't really know how anyone would be able to engage all of our guests. After setting up a do not play list of maybe 4-5 songs we met with Sam and he took over. From the planning, us changing our minds on this multiple times, to the night of the wedding he made it smooth and effortless on us. I'm not sure there was a guest at our wedding that didn't mention how incredible the DJ was. If you're looking for someone with infectious energy who is going to keep every guest, of all ages in our case, on the dance floor the entire night this is your guy!

DJ Sam did a fantastic job at our wedding. We've been to many weddings and he was one of our friend's weddings and he really stood out to us. The dance floor was filled the entire time. He brought a lot of energy to the reception and played great music for all ages. The music flowed so well. DJ Sam was very personable and professional. He knew exactly how we wanted our atmosphere to be without us needing to be so specific and was able to provide us with some advise when we had questions and was very accommodating to what we wanted. I would 100% recommend him if you want your wedding to be a blast!

Sam is the absolutely amazing to work with. With every aspect of the wedding he was a huge help with wonderful advice. Our cocktail hour was held in a separate room from our reception and he was able to set up music to play in both areas. We were unsure of what music we wanted played at the wedding. We gave him a general idea of what we liked and asked him to just run with it. He was amazing. We received so many compliments during the reception and in days to follow about how awesome our DJ and the music were. He was wonderful at playing music that would not only get everyone on the dance floor but keep them on the dance floor all night long. He reads the crowd so well and plays music that appeals to all age groups so everyone has an awesome time! We absolutely love Sam and are so thankful he was a part of our day!

DJ Sam Crawford was incredible to work with and helped to make our wedding day perfect! We have received countless compliments about Sam and how fun our wedding was due to his music selections! A few weeks before the wedding, we asked if Sam could play pre-ceremony music for us also, and he was extremely flexible and so graciously used his equipment to not only play for us, but to help our musicians as well as they played during our ceremony. We were so thankful for his flexibility and his professionalism: he was able to find and play the obscure music for our pre-ceremony music, and he put together the perfect playlist for the cocktail hour/dinner music. As each song played, my husband and I looked at each other and said, "this is perfect!" Sam did a phenomenal job announcing the wedding party and following the timeline of our events. I did not have a wedding coordinator, and Sam kept the schedule perfectly and eliminated all stress for me and my husband. Our guests danced the entire night! (Almost 4 hours!) again, we received countless compliments about Sam and many said they haven't been to a wedding where everyone danced the whole time! We are so grateful for Sam and all that he did to make our day perfect. I would recommend Sam to anyone for any occasion - he was such a pleasure to work with!

DJ Sam Crawford gave us a night we'll never forget! We met with multiple DJs at wedding events and in person and did not connect with any of them until we met Sam. Sam was so likeable and easy to work with, we knew from the first meeting he was our guy. For the next year and a half of planning, any email, phone call, or text to Sam was responded to immediately (which is not the case with most vendors). This took one of the many stresses of planning away from us as we knew we were in good hands.

Sam was over prepared for anything that could have happened at the wedding and even handled a last minute change in the wedding party announcements flawlessly. Not to mention, he pronounced everyone's name perfectly for being an Italian wedding. He had the dance floor packed ALL NIGHT LONG. Any specials requests for songs to be played during dinner and the reception were fulfilled.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to book a DJ. Trust me, the DJ sets the tone for your wedding and we are 100% confident that you won't be disappointed!

I honestly can't say enough great things about Sam Crawford! We were really nervous about picking a wedding DJ, because having everyone on the dance floor all night was really important to us, but Sam was the perfect choice! He played all the songs we wanted to hear, and kept everyone dancing all night! He makes it extremely easy to request songs prior to the wedding, and he keeps the night running smoothly! He isn't cheesy at all like some wedding DJs, just keeps everything moving, and makes sure everyone is having a great time!

Sam was absolutely AMAZING! From the first time I spoke with him I knew he was the right guy for us. He was extremely responsive, listened to every request we had and made it a point to check in with us a week prior to the wedding to make sure he got every pronunciation correct for our bridal party. He even worked with my MOH to put together one of the best rap song/speeches ever.

Sam has an easy to use online planner that adds your entire wedding timeline and must play, play if you can, and DO NOT play. If we had a special request, Sam listened, was on point and executed. I asked that we walk into an exact second on a song and he timed it perfectly. If I thought of a song, I would email Sam letting him know we wanted to hear it and I think I heard every single song we requested I was SHOCKED at how packed the dance floor was all night. He was extremely professional and one of the most reasonably priced DJs out there.

Sam - We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so much FUN!

My husband and I met with eight (yes, 8!) DJs all around the Pittsburgh area before selecting Sam. As soon as we left our initial in-person meeting with Sam, we knew he was the right fit. Sam is super easy-going, really responsive and very professional. He works with your schedule and listens to what you want (and, what you don't want). When it came down to a couple weeks before our wedding, I realized that we hadn't added any specific songs to the online music library that Sam had provided to us. I emailed Sam a list of random songs that we liked and a couple that we definitely did not like, explained the "vibe" that we wanted and he came up with the most killer playlist for the entire evening. The music was perfect from cocktail hour to the last dance song. The floor was packed with people (all ages!) dancing all night. The dance photos from our wedding ended up being some of our favorites because everyone looks like they are having such a fun time. We received (and continue to receive) lots of inquiries from other engaged couples about who our DJ was. One of our engaged friends actually ended up booking Sam the month after our wedding for their own upcoming wedding, without even considering other options because they liked Sam so much. We would highly recommend Sam to any couple looking to have an awesome time at their wedding!

We could not possibly say enough great things about working with Sam. He was very detailed oriented from the start and really got to know our personalities and what we wanted and didn't want from our reception. His online system made it easy to keep track of everything we wanted played (and stuff we wanted to never see the light of day). During his phone call the week before the event, he went over every tiny thing to make sure it was all exactly as we wanted. During the reception he was very flexible with making a few changes, as we'd had some last minute hiccups. And even though our party ended up being smaller than we'd expected, he kept everyone dancing all night with the best mix of music. Everyone is still RAVING about him, days later. He was so much fun and energetic, but without being that typical, hokey wedding DJ. He was a serious pleasure to work with and we'd book him again in a heartbeat for any other event we'd have in the future.

We loved working with Sam Crawford as our DJ. He was easy to work with and extremely punctual in response to emails and questions. At the beginning we met with several DJ’s and they all tried to sell us these package deals with XYZ and didn’t really get to know me and my husband. Sam was and exception. For example at one of the first meeting I mentioned I love Taylor Swift songs. He made a note of that and at our wedding he played several Taylor Swift songs throughout the night.
Sam was also an amazing MCing the wedding day. We had our wedding and reception in the same place so we needed Sam to play the music for the ceremony (recession and procession music). He was able to seamlessly play that music, then transition into cocktail hour music then into introduction music, dinner music and into the party music. We gave him full range of what music should be played and he nailed. Ever part of the night required different music and different tempo and they worked perfectly together.
The most important part of MCing an event is to know exactly what was going to happen and when. He was on top of that and actually came up to the bridal suite during cocktail hour while me and my husband were relaxing to see when we were ready to be introduced instead of rushing us into cocktail hour before we had a chance to rest. It was a nice touch because the day goes by so fast.
After dinner Sam kept in touch with either me or my husband to see how everything was going and to see if anything needed to be changed. We are extremely happy that Sam Crawford did our wedding and reception.

Sam was AMAZING! I really can not say enough good things about him. Sam was referred to us through friends that had gotten married a few years ago and I am so very happy that they recommended him to us! He was incredibly responsive, fun to work with, listened to our requests and really understood what type of music we wanted to dance to all night. He helped with music suggestions when we were stuck on a few specific things and he was so knowledgeable! He helped me to feel very relaxed all night. He had the crowd dancing all night and he helped the entire wedding timeline move along very quickly. I would highly recommend Sam's DJ services for any type of event! You will not be disappointed!!

My wedding was just last weekend and Sam was our DJ for the event. All I can say is that he was WONDERFUL to work with. I was planning the wedding from California and Sam was more than willing to Facetime with us so we could "meet" him before actually booking anything. The DJ planning software that he uses is great because you are able to provide him with really detailed information for the reception so that he is fully aware of every aspect of the reception. The week prior to the wedding we talked with Sam on the phone and ironed out all of the last minute details for the reception. Sam had a lot of really great suggestions for us and we loved his enthusiasm. When we hung up with Sam after this last phone call, we knew that we would have nothing to worry about. Sam exceeded all expectations at our reception. He kept the music pumping but also knew when to bring it down for those softer moments as well. He is great at being able to read the crowd and played songs that kept our guests on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. He came up up to my husband and I at various points during the night to see if we needed anything at all and to keep us informed of what was up next on the agenda. My husband and I were so, so impressed with Sam and everything that he did to make our reception so wonderful. If we are every back in Pittsburgh planning another event, we will hands down go with DJ Sam again. Thanks for everything Sam. =)

DJ Sam was INCREDIBLE! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and make sure that the crowd was enjoying the music. So down to earth and very easy to work with, he made wedding planning from across the country super easy, and kept the wedding events at the reception flawlessly flowing throughout the night. I HIGHLY recommend him for any DJ events you may need - you will not be disappointed!

From the first time we talked to and met with Sam Crawford we knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was very easy to talk to and work with throughout the entire process. We communicated over the phone, in person, and through e-mail and he was always quick to respond and willing to help anyway he could. At the wedding, he did the most outstanding job!! We had the best time, and the music was a big hit...our guests are still talking about it! We couldn't have had the most amazing wedding/party/celebration without Sam Crawford as our DJ! We highly recommend him for any event or occasion! :)

Sam is amazing -- an absolute pleasure to work with and will make your wedding reception fun and wonderful! He is extremely prompt with e-mails. There were three easy-to-fill-out online forms regarding song selection, timeline of events, and wedding party details. All of the details that we requested (e.g., songs played during particular reception moments, order to announce entrances and wedding speeches, etc.) were flawlessly executed. He also got our friends and family on the dance floor! :) We highly recommend Sam for your wedding reception!

If you're getting married in Pittsburgh, hire this man as your DJ! My husband and I have been to over a dozen weddings in the past two years and we can honestly say DJ Sam is the best we have ever encountered. He was extremely easy to deal with, he helped us compile music, was open to all suggestions/requests, and after giving him a brief description of the type of music we like, he was able to create the perfect playlist for the entire night. He kept the party going for 4 straight hours...nobody left the floor! Our guests even commented on how impressed they were with him. He really set the tone for the entire reception and we couldn't be more happy that we found DJ Sam to DJ our wedding. What an amazing night!!

We reached out to DJ Sam around six months before our wedding. He got back to us within a day of us requesting some more information. From day one Sam was incredibly responsive, helpful, and professional. It's weeks after our wedding and friends and family are still talking about how great the party was, and it is all because DJ Sam kept us rocking all night long.

We spoke with four different DJ's throughout the Pittsburgh area, but Sam was the easy pick after our initial introductory conversation. He asked about our lives, seemed more genuinely interested in our wedding than all other DJ's, and really got a feel for what we were looking for. After we officially booked him we thought we were just paying for music but he pretty much planned out the whole ceremony timeline, and also sent it around to our photographer and reception venue to get everything set in place.

It was easy to select the music that we wanted because he gave us access to a DJ Intelligence service that let us select the songs and pick "definitely play", "maybe play", and "do not play". We only selected 15 or so songs and let him use his judgement for the rest, which was a great decision - the guy brought the house down.

In addition to the music, Sam also made sure the night ran smoothly, getting everyone prepared for speeches, special dances, and the cake cutting. In the end, we don't think our wedding would have been considered such a success without the help and experience of DJ Sam. If you are getting married in the Pittsburgh area (he actually traveled to Somerset for us) then I would lock him in as your DJ asap. You will not be disappointed.

Sam was such an amazing DJ at our wedding. He really made the party and we received so many compliments on how awesome the music was. I would highly - HIGHLY recommend using him. Everyone at the wedding danced all night. There was not a single song that didn't have 50 people on the floor. He was extremely professional and responsive throughout the entire planning process.

Thank you Sam!

xoxo Andrew & Amy

We first met DJ Sam in person, something only a few DJ's that we interviewed took the time to do rather than all over the phone. From there we felt very comfortable with the services, schedule, and value that he could provide. He had a very easy website to use to upload user picks, preferences, order of events, and likes dislikes of music. A week before he called to confirm the final details, the phonetics of names in the bridal party, Upon arriving at the reception we found him setup, all the uplighting set, and casual background music playing for our guests. From the moment we arrived to 6 hours later, DJ Sam was in complete control with all the timing of the events. His choice of music and mixing was greatly appreciated with several guests commenting to us how great he was able to transition and mix music! We had a great time and would highly recommend DJ Sam to anyone! Thanks!!!

At our wedding, we wanted a party, and a party is what we got! DJ Sam was so helpful on keeping us on track of when and where we should be. He made it so easy for us which left us stress free, and more time to have fun! Everyone at our wedding reception had a blast dancing all night, and the older folks loved the Anniversary Dance. DJ Sam played all of our favorite songs and even found a couple songs that we wanted that he didn't originally have. DJ Sam went above and beyond what we had expected and we have already recommended him to some of our friends that are getting married soon! Thank you DJ Sam!

DJ Sam was the best to work with! The DJ my family had used for my two older sister's weddings was unavailable, so my fiance and I did an internet search for recommended DJ's in the Pittsburgh area. After all the planning and the actual reception, there's no question in our minds that we made the right choice and we can definitely see why others loved working with him. My dad even called him to ask for advice about our Father/Bride dance and then sent me this email:

"Oh I like this guy!!! He knows good music…."

DJ Sam walked us through the planning process and answered all of our questions along the way. He did a great job of listening to our music tastes/requests and then incorporating songs along the same lines. We had everyone up and dancing until the end of the reception, we couldn't have asked for a better party!

Before we started really planning for our wedding, I knew that I was going to be super concerned with the selection of the music at the reception. We've been to weddings where DJs just absolutely decimated the mood at the reception by playing some random remixes or not really feeling out the crowd. It was weighing heavy on my mind (and honestly as the groom, it was one of the only things I really, truly cared about).

The DJ that we thought we would use for our wedding was already booked for another engagement, so we found DJ Sam on the Knot and set up a face-to-face meeting at a coffee shop or a Panera bread when we were back in Pittsburgh (Tara and I live in NYC, but are both from Zelienople). Sam was laid back and totally understood our vision for the mood of the reception. He took notes and came well prepared. We felt a real sense of trust with him.

Sam was very responsive throughout the planning process and we had a couple conference calls to go through the order of events at the reception (which was very helpful). Sam was able to guide us in terms of a good flow for our guests.

When the wedding day arrived, we didn't have to worry about anything. I actually wrote and recorded our first dance song and sent Sam a mastered version like the day before the wedding - he called me to ensure that he had received it and listened and everything sounded great. Those are the small things that really reassure you while you're nervous about everything falling into place.

The reception went off without a hitch and we had so many people tell us how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. Sam was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly. Please feel free to reach out to me for a reference or any other information!

I could not ask for a better DJ than Sam Crawford. He was very easy to work with, accommodated all our requests and put together music that made our entire wedding and reception fun for all our guests.

Sam was incredibly quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Our guests had a blast at the reception. I don't think I stopped dancing once.

We had an amazing dance party at our wedding, thanks to DJ Sam! Our friends all said it was the best music of any wedding they have been to. His interactive website allowed us to request all of the songs we wanted in an easy format. Any other requests we had were taken care of without a problem. Sam's fun personality and passion for music were evident to our guests. We would recommend him to anyone who wants to have an amazing wedding reception!

DJ Sam definitely surpassed our expectations at our wedding. Not only did he play the songs we provided, but he offered his own suggestions based off the types of songs on our song list. That to me shows true quality and professionalism in a DJ. He also kept everyone engaged and kept the energy going throughout the entire night! At the end of the reception, a lot of our friends and guests kept chanting "One more song, one more song!" because they enjoyed the energy that Sam brought through the music he played. And, of course, Sam generously played one more song! Sam was also very easy to work with leading up to our wedding date. I contacted him via e-mail, and he was always very good at responding quickly and not only answering our questions, but offering suggestions on the order of the reception and when this should be done and when that should be done, and he offered opinions on questions we had about what songs should be played for certain dances (ex: father/daughter dance.) Not only did myself and my husband, and the entire bridal party, LOVE DJ Sam and his energy, but even our guests were raving about him...and a neighbor got his contact information to use in HER son's wedding. DJ Sam definitely surpassed our expectations, and we would use him again whenever needed! And we definitely recommend using his services for not only weddings, but any event where you need a great DJ who knows how to keep the party going!

While planning our wedding, one of my biggest concerns was finding a great DJ - they determine so much of the atmosphere for your event! We were on a budget, and I needed someone who could provide outdoor ceremony & cocktail hour music and indoor reception music. We had been at a friend's wedding where Sam was the DJ, and my husband LOVED it. Like a lot of guys, he was not really interested in the wedding planning at all, but he made a point of going up to Sam at our friend's wedding and getting his card.
We spoke with Sam a number of times before the wedding to make sure everything was planned out - some of our choices had a number of different versions and he found & had the correct version for everything. I even sent him info and a few songs the night before the wedding around 11 pm, and he had everything for my wedding the next day.
Our timeline changed a number of times throughout the day of our wedding, and Sam did a fantastic job of working with us and changing things throughout the day. The transitioning from outside to inside was perfect! People were on the dance floor all night, but it wasn't so overpowering that people who wanted to sit at the tables couldn't talk. We received so many compliments on our wedding day and how much fun people had, and I know one of the biggest reasons was having Sam as our DJ. I've recommended him to several friends since our wedding in 2011 - you will not regret hiring him as your DJ for any event - wedding, party, etc.

We are so happy that we chose Sam to be the DJ at our wedding. He easy to get ahold of throughout the entire process, and even more important to us, he paid attention to the details in our wedding song selection. Sam kept the wedding rolling seamlessly. We were happy to have Sam play a huge part in our wedding. Music was very important to us, and Sam exceeded our expectations!

We honestly couldn't have had a better DJ. Sam was very professional, a great speaker, and very caring throughout our whole wedding process. He was punctual and very flexible. His equipment was excellent and he made sure the whole event flowed from the intro to last call! I have been part of many weddings and can honestly say I have never seen a better DJ!

My husband and I would highly, highly recommend Sam...we both truly believe that his DJ'ing set the whole tone for our day and made our wedding what it was! I told Sam that all I wanted was for everyone to have fun and dance the whole night and he exceeded my wildest expectations...the dance floor was packed the entire night and people are STILL telling us almost a year later how much fun they had dancing, singing and partying at our wedding. He is truly just a cool guy, super easy to get along with and flexible and knows how to turn a wedding into a party!

DJSamCrawford is a great DJ. I knew of him when he did my sisters wedding a couple of years ago, and since everyone had a blast then, I called him for my wedding. My fiance and I met with him and we shared ideas of what we wanted, he took all sorts of requests and was able to handle it with flair; for instance my family likes Tarantella's, an Italian style polka, and there are different versions, and when the songs played, everyone was on the dance floor. People had so much fun, most people stayed until the end. Sam also played classic hits and he has a repertoire of all sorts of different types of music. Most importantly, he works with you to pick the style of music and set the pace of your event. I've been to weddings where people go with someone on the cheap, and it shows with hardly anyone dancing and most people hanging out at the bar. DJSamCrawford really helped to make our wedding special, and I appreciate that.

We first saw DJ Sam Crawford at a family wedding reception. We commented that the only time you notice a DJ is when they are really good or really bad - Sam was really good. We were engaged and knew that we wanted Sam as our DJ for our wedding the following year. Sam's responsiveness to emails and calls was exceptional, he was willing to meet at our convenience, and provided suggestions while he was still willing to meet our requests. We had many compliments throughout the night and after our reception on how excellent the DJ was and how much fun everyone had. Sam played the music we requested and a variety that kept the party going. He kept the wedding reception on track with announcing the bridal party, cake cutting, garter/bouquet, etc. Sam's personality makes him easy to work with and planning more exciting. We highly recommend Sam for any event!

DJ Sam was one of the greatest assets that we had at our wedding. DJ Sam did his thing, picked up the slack of our other vendors who dropped the ball a number of times and really was our go-to guy for the night. The music was spot on, his professionalism was top-notch and my wife and I would recommend him to anyone.

Sam was the perfect DJ. He played all the right music and kept our guests on the dance floor. It is important to note that a DJs job is not just to play music. It is to get the guests involved and keep the flow of the wedding on time. Sam did an exceptional job in all aspects of the wedding from start to finish. Not once did I have to tell him what to do or how to pronounce a name right. Sam did his homework and performed it to the fullest. He exceeded all my expectations.

Everyone had a blast and kept say our Dj was good and that it wasn't just any other wedding music. Classics and new jams. Little something for everyone. He helped us all the way through the process and with advice on other aspects of the affair. He truely made it our day!!

DJ Sam Crawford was a phenomenal DJ and really made our wedding day awesome.From the get go, Sam was professional, buttoned up and worked with us on exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He met with us each time we asked him to and helped us plan out the flow of the day from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the events of the reception. Not only was Sam a fantastic DJ who kept the party going for hours, but he was a great emcee who made sure the flow of the wedding was handled so we could enjoy our day. I would highly recommend DJ Sam for any wedding. He was awesome.

My wife and I were married at the Barn at Ligonier Valley on 8/29/15. I HIGHLY recommend acquiring Sam's services. In my opinion, the DJ is one of the few vendors in which you should prioritize a large portion of the budget. First off, Sam has a great personality and is very easy to work with. He also is excellent at both DJ'ing and MC'ing. He can play ANY type of music, has a great feel for the crowd, and his online portal is simple to use and a very underrated asset of any DJ you choose. It really helps with the planning process. Sam spoke to us the week of the wedding and his experience really help calm our nerves and put us at ease. We made a great decision securing Sam's services. You will not regret it if you do the same. Good luck!
