I really try to be sure and write reviews for experiences I have with those that have done an amazing job, as so many like to write bad reviews and complain. I think it is just as important to let people know when you have a great experience....so, I couldn't miss letting everyone know that Doug Griffin was absolutely THE BEST! So glad we used him for our wedding reception. He thinks of every detail and has years of experience, which put our minds at ease. His communication was prompt and he was so patient with us as we planned out the details as it related to music before, during, and after the ceremony. He met with us before the wedding to discuss our desires and get to know us. He also met us at the venue a few weeks before the event and walked us through everything on site....even suggesting things we hadn't thought of and should have! :) He will tailor his services to you, however you would like. He truly is about making this day perfect for you in every way, and personalizes it exactly how you would like it to be. If you want him really involved during the reception, he will be. If you don't want him to say much, he doesn't. We made him a playlist of songs we liked and knew our guests would and he also took requests and followed our preferences on what we didn't want played. I think every genre of music from country to rock to hip hop was played! Every guest was on the floor dancing at some point and he knew exactly how to keep them there. We had kids from 2 years old up to 80+ all out there dancing at the same time...now that takes someone who knows exactly what he is doing!! BEST decision we made! He is also so reasonable and competitive. You won't go wrong with Doug Griffin!

Fantastic DJ For Our Wedding!
I contacted DJ Doug about providing DJ services for my outdoor reception for my wedding. He took time to know what my vision was for the reception as a whole and music specifically. We spoke on the phone several times and via emails a few times too. He coordinated with my other venders effectively. He did an exceptional job at helping keep the reception energized and moving at a steady pace. When adjustments needed to be made, he was quick and smooth about making adjustments. Overall he did a fantastic job and added significantly to our reception flowing how we had envisioned it! Thank you!!

Doug is awesome!
Doug was absolutely amazing. He was very thorough before the wedding which makes things a breeze on the day of. He has the entire wedding thing down to a science. Everything was played at the perfect time, songs for specific events/moments were cut at the perfect moments, we really couldn't ask for anything else. Doug was extremely professional, organized, and amazing at communicating with our other vendors for what needed to happen when and where. Our day would not have been as perfect as it had been without Doug.

Honestly the best DJ/MC for a wedding possible!
My husband and I, before we were married, attended two different weddings in a row with DJ DOUG as the DJ/MC and we were so impressed with how smoothly it ran and how classy and fun he was. We booked him for our wedding this past June and it could not have gone better. His voice alone is amazing but he also is professional during the profess and friendly and helped create the biggest wedding dance party I've ever seen! He was wonderful working with other vendors as well- We had a big swing band play during the pre-reception and dinner and for a dance set after dinner with some DJ songs played during breaks. He then finished out the night with about 2 hours of dancing. It was a pretty complicated schedule but again, it went PERFECTLY.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The best DJ ever!
Having Doug DJ my daughter's wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He was professional, friendly, reliable, and courteous from start to finish. He strove to do what my daughter and son in law wanted while offering helpful suggestions and guiding them in the planning of the reception. He did not just know how to do his job but also how to problem solve when there was a need. My husband and I felt like we could relax during the entirety of the reception because Doug was able to keep things running smoothly. We would highly recommend him. We got multiple compliments during and after the reception. If you are wondering whether or not to hire a professional DJ, I can tell you it was worth every penny!

Great experience: Wedding MC and DJ
Doug was the DJ and MC for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. He did a great job and was very good at getting requests from our guests. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an easy going, responsible, and fun DJ for their event.

All around amazing!
Doug was a phenomenal choice to DJ my wedding! He was so friendly and responsive to what I wanted. He was very straight forward with what he needed from me. He offered options on how to get the party going and once he did, we had a blast! He had everything lined out for the event and nothing was of question. Not to mention, he is very LGBT friendly! We didn’t do anything traditionally and he was more than okay with that! Thank you, Doug for making my special day just the way I pictured it.

Doug was incredible. He has such a kind heart and truly wants to do what you want. He perfectly balances listening to your hopes and plans and offering his suggestions and advice. I 100% recommend Doug for any wedding. He had people dancing at my wedding all night - and that was my goal!

Doug Griffin was amazing
Doug was absolutely the best DJ ever. My daughter could not have been happier!!! His music library had everything. There wasn’t a single request that he wasn’t able to play. The energy he brought to the event coupled with his attention to detail and preparation prior to the event was a welcomed breath of fresh air. Planning a wedding can be stressful at times but we never had to worry about Doug being on top of his game. He wouldn’t let the details he needed fall through the cracks. He went above and beyond and we highly recommend him!!!

Amazing, Easy & A Joy to work with
Doug was amazing to work with! He has a great way of compiling everything you want for your wedding. He had us fill out a form and then we had a call (we live in LA and had a wedding in Ireland) to talk through everything we wanted. Myself and my husband had already came up with a Wedding Spotify playlist so we handed that over to Doug to show him the ‘vibe’ we wanted. When the big day came he was great at hosting and getting all the guest where they needed to be. He was also great at feeling the vibe of the room and playing songs to get people on the dance floor. I would recommend him for any type of wedding you want! :) he makes your life easier!

The MOST AMAZING DJ & Keeper of All Things Running Smoothly
The MOST AMAZING DJ & keeper of all things running smoothly.
On our wedding day, Doug went out of his way to make sure that all details were in place for the best day ever. Let's face it, wedding planners are needed, but the MC is the true MVP keeping everyone on time with subtle music cues, not to mention, he has a charming personality that happily guided everyone to where they needed to be.
Doug is personal & makes you feel like you are working with family (minus all of the drama). He loves to get together for a face-to-face & hear what your vision is and even throws in some expertise if you want it (no extra cost..I mean come on! People charge for consultations & he just has you in mind)!
Doug has years & years of experience. He has the old school quality with all the modern tricks.
Now, I LOVE to dance. Having the right person to keep people coming back to the dance party was a non-negotiable. Doug didn't disappoint-- he kept the beats droppin' & my guests moving! No matter the music style, he has got you covered. He is so flexible & accommodating.
If you want your event to be a memorable experience. Doug is your DJ!! Choosing him will be the easiest & best decision you could make. Thank you again!! With love, the Hams

Wedding Reception
I hired Doug for my wedding reception and Oh my goodness- I don’t know where to begin! DJ Doug was unreal amazing! Since the wedding, I’ve had soo many people tell me how great the DJ and music was and I couldn’t agree more. I would hire DJ Doug again in a second. You won’t regret it if you hire him!

Man oh man. MR. Doug did a fantastic job. He was on a roll the whole night. I had people coming up to me saying how the music was amazing and how they just couldn't stop dancing. He was amazing when it came to any questions I had. He made sure everything went perfect. I would use him over and over. I cant thank him enough for making my special night even more amazing. Thank you Doug!

We were thrilled to have Doug come and DJ our wedding. Here are just a few insights in to his skill set. He is simply the best. We had heard him DJ at a few other events: a Christmas party and a birthday part. He has the unique ability to create the perfect playlist for the event and the crowd. At each event and our wedding, he played the right song at the right time to get the guests involved. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. Everyone had a great time. We would use Doug again on all future events that we plan.

From the very first contact to the very last dance of my daughter's wedding event, Doug was every thing I was hoping for in a DJ. I think its a big deal to hire someone to host/direct your guests at your own wedding reception and he was fun, courteous, sensitive to the group's music preferences and an all around delight to work with. I couldn't recommend him more. We were very thankful for his service.

Doug was AMAZING to work with! From the planning aspect to actually working the wedding, he was amazing! We got so many compliments about how great he was! We had some very last minute changes to the wedding party, and he took them in stride and our party was announced flawlessly. He worked off of my pre-ceremony Spotify playlist for the 30 minutes before the ceremony, and he took requests at the reception. We had a couple live songs done during the ceremony, and he had them set up and ready to go! From the minute the dancing started at the reception, he kept people on the dance floor all night! Everyone was dancing and having a great time! I would recommend Doug to anyone!

Doug was recently the DJ for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ! He turned out to be our favorite vendor we worked with. He was very professional and understanding from the very beginning. We met with him prior to the wedding to discuss our ideas and preferences, and he was very accommodating, relatable, and down-to-earth. He provided an outline for us both to work with, which provided clear expectations for both parties. Doug arrived early on the wedding day, as promised, with all of his equipment ready to go. He was very flexible when we decided to move the dancing from inside to outside because of the gorgeous weather. He gladly worked with our cellist and officiant to ensure all sound worked flawlessly. My guests and I all had a BLAST due largely to Doug! My friends and family have all told us how much they enjoyed Doug. His prices are very reasonable and hard to beat. Do not hesitate to hire DJ Doug Griffin--you'll be so glad you did! I know we were!

Doug is a true professional. His goal is to make it "your" wedding. He asks the songs/genre you want to hear and delivers. Doug asked us if he could go around and take requests from the guests. This made our guests feel special and able to hear a song they wanted to. He also made sure we were happy with song selections. I would highly recommend him.

We knew nothing about DJ's going into this – and my bride made most of the decisions about the ceremony. One thing I was in charge of – one of the BIGGEST things I was in charge of, was picking the DJ. I found DJ Doug online, checked out his site and booked him. He met up with us before the ceremony and was very professional – he knows his stuff. He's friendly and has the perfect personality for this kind of thing. We couldn't be happier with our DJ decision and even had a guest at our wedding ask for his contact info so she could book him for an upcoming event. We had a very special request that he play a specific version of a very old song for our first dance. He got the EXACT version we wanted – I had sorta forgotten about it until it started playing and my smile was a mile wide :) If you are planning a special day, make sure you invite DJ Doug. I now have a DJ!

I would like to say, I was over the top impressed with Doug! He communicated well prior to the event. Anytime I had a question or concern, he addressed it in a super quick manner and made me feel like the day was going to be perfect. As far as the day, he did the best job! He was there early, he communicated with me on time frames and if we everything was still a go. He was great with the guests: I had many compliment him. If I had another event I would for sure choose him!
