Katie Sent on 05/13/2023Best DJ for a wedding!
Hans is the man!!! Do yourself a favor and have Hans at your event. He did our wedding in April and everything went off without a hitch. Everything that he said in his bio is true: he is a musician who is incredible on the guitar, he ran the show from start to finish, and handled any transitions and changes like a pro. We were also relieved from the beginning when our venue told us how much they loved working with Hans. Thanks you, Hans, for making our special night perfect. -

Flexible, open-minded, fun, professional, honest, detail-oriented, responsive, and calming! Just some of the words I would use to describe Hans. He is an outstanding guitarist, DJ, and MC. We are so happy we chose Hans, he is a MUST for your Tucson wedding! -

From the beginning of working with Hans until the big day, he was very professional and thoughtful with his interactions. We like to believe we got the dream team for our wedding with our DJ, photographer, and officiant and we have heard so many compliments since the wedding regarding our day.
Hands down, Hans is the right choice! -

Yjk Sent on 10/05/2022Great with specific requests, but also filled in many blanks where we could only offer generalities.
Hans DJed our wedding over Labor Day weekend and he was phenomenal. This was our post-COVID rescheduled wedding and we’ve had a baby in the interim, so our ability to spend time wedding-planning was limited. We had a few things that were important to us from a music perspective, but also a lot of things where we know what we like but cannot quite explain it beyond generalities. Hans did great with the live music and nailed all of our specific requests. He understood our vague preferences and was able to fill in the specifics nicely on his own. He’s friendly, approachable and just an all around professional. -

Excellent DJ!
Hans is absolutely fabulous! He is so easy to work with, knows his music, has great recommendations, and keeps the party dancing! We also took advantage of his guitar skills for the ceremony and it added the perfect touch to our day. We couldn’t have been happier with Hans! -

Hans was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was extremely responsive, easy to deal with, and just overall super fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to work with for our wedding. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a DJ for their wedding, or any event for that matter! Thanks again Hans!! -

Tom M. Sent on 06/07/2022Perfect music experience at our wedding!
We hired Hans to handle music at our wedding, and couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Hans was PERFECT, and the entire night was a smash hit. I’ll walk through the experience from start to finish.
Hans came highly recommended by other vendors we were working with for our big day. First off, in meetings Hans was professional and quick to reply to our emails and phone calls. He established clear lines of communication and outlined expectations from us to that we could get him what he needed to do his best job. Hans was incredibly easy to work with, and we were able to nail down the details with ease. He helped solve some of the problems that stumped us during the planning phase. As a DJ with many years of experience, he knows the typical flow of these events and where to make personalized adjustments. Hans was flexible with us sharing our playlists and music selection. He knew where to compromise and where to be firm with what would be best for the party. This was really helpful and made both my partner and I feel like we were in good hands during planning.
On the day itself, Hans was set up and ready to roll. We truly did not have to think about a thing. He had everything taken care of. Hans had also worked with our venue and was familiar with the staff. A huge plus.
Hans played acoustic guitar before our ceremony began, and while we walked out to the altar. This was a wonderful thing to have, and added an intimacy to our ceremony. It’s so great that Hans also offers this along with his DJ services.
Hans provided music for the cocktail hour which was outside. We provided him a playlist of songs that we liked, and he handled the rest— weaving together a tapestry of music that provided the backdrop for our guests to mingle. Hans is skilled at track selection and keeping the vibe going.
During the reception and dinner, Hans seamlessly handed mics out for speeches and kept the flow of the night going without a hitch.
When it came time for dancing, Hans’s skills as a DJ again shined. I don’t think there was even 1 minute where there weren’t people grooving on the dance floor, and many guests came up to us throughout the night to compliment the music and skills of the DJ. The vibe was just right, and kept going until we had to close down for the night.
In summary — Hans was the perfect DJ for our wedding. I can’t imagine working with anyone better. It’s a night we will remember forever, and I’m so grateful to have worked with such a talented and wonderful person! If you choose Hans to handle your event, know that you are in very capable hands! -

Nicole Sent on 05/23/2022Highly Recommend as guitar and DJ combo!!
We had a very positive experience with Hans and highly recommend him for your wedding guitarist / DJ!! Hans is very professional, easy to work with, responsive, and we were very happy not only with the planning, but he did an excellent job day of!! He played beautiful ceremony guitar and kept the night flowing perfectly! In planning for our wedding, Hans has a questionnaire that we reviewed together and he had great suggestions for the schedule, realistic times for things, songs in areas we were stuck, and all of that was very helpful! Throughout the night, he kept the guests informed as needed, but was not an overbearing DJ, which is what we were looking for. We really enjoyed working with him and highly recommend Hans!! -

Kerry Sent on 04/01/2022Absolutely amazing!
We hired Hans to be the DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! He was so professional and played amazing music that kept our guests dancing all night. He was in touch through the entire process leading up to the wedding and the day went perfectly as a result. I highly recommend having him play the processional and recessional on acoustic guitar- he is so talented and it’s breathtaking. Thank you, Hans, for everything!! -

Sara Sent on 02/21/2022Hans is a great 2 for 1: musician and DJ
Hans was great. He was recommended by both our venue coordinator and our florist/ planner and did not disappoint. You can tell he has great experience in the industry as he has wedding down. Our favorite part was that he plays guitar so we were able to have live ceremony music and our DJ for the reception all in one. Our guests had a great time as he played a great diverse playlist. If you are getting married in the Tucson area, I highly recommend choosing Hans -

Caitlin Sent on 09/14/2021The Best DJ!
Hans is everything you would want in a DJ. Period.
Classy and multitalented: Hans played a beautiful acoustic piece at the beginning of our wedding ceremony and later in the night, DJ’d a rave style dance party at the after party of our reception at our request. Tell him what you want and he will deliver! He also dresses to impress, which is good for any occasion.
Good music taste and judgement: Hans is happy to accommodate your guests’ must-have song requests, while making the intelligent judgement-call to not let your drunk uncle dominate the playlist.
Understands Crowd Vibe: Hans can quickly figure out what music the crowd enjoys and what to avoid. He also throws in tricks like playing a slower song to give the guests a break every once in a while if it’s a lively group of dancers. I’m sure he has other handy tricks up his sleeve!
Herding Cats: Hans can take care of the most frustrating part of any large event: transitions. Anyone who has attended a large event with multiple locations/rooms knows that getting people to all go to one place can be like herding cats. Hans understands this and will facilitate the movements. He was able to help relocate our 100 drunk guests to the after party we had set up. And he made it seem easy!
Thinks on his feet: Sometimes the little things you can’t anticipate come up. He is good at adapting to changing scenarios and saving the day when things aren’t looking great.
Great communication: From start to end, Hans was very easy to work with! Our wedding was out of state, but he made time for virtual meetings that were effective and fun. Planning our wedding schedule and playlist with Hans was a breeze, and his expertise with weddings was very much appreciated.
We are so glad we booked Hans and wish we could throw a party with him every year! Our wedding was so memorable and fun thanks to him!

Stop looking for a DJ or musician for your wedding! Hans is the one! Seriously, Hans is the best of the best. He made our intimate 40 person wedding everything we dreamed of with sweet acoustic guitar and a perfect playlist. As our DJ, he was professional, fun, and 0% obnoxious on the mic. If you're having a bigger gathering, he won't disappoint - our friends hired him last month for their bigger wedding and he made their day just as special as ours. Hans makes you feel like you've known him forever in the best way! Hire him and rest assured, your day will be lovely.

Kara Sent on 06/04/2021So much more than a DJ!
Hans exceeded every expectation. He was highly involved in helping us plan the workflow of the day. He gave us tips and insights that come with his years of experience. I can honestly say if it were not for Hans, the day would have had a lot more chaos. He took time to get to know us, our music preferences, and was very involved throughout the planning process. He showed up very early and made sure everything went smooth. He was punctual, professional, enthusiastic, and a skilled musician. He is worth twice the price quoted. I can not recommend him enough. -

Lauren Sent on 05/31/2021Hans kept the dance floor hopping all night long!
Hans is an excellent DJ and was really great to work with! He perfectly edited a song for the mother-son dance and created a great playlist for both the cocktail hour and reception. During the reception, he did an excellent job at reading the crowd and adjusting the music accordingly, which helped ensure the dance floor was crowded all night long! He even went above-and-beyond his DJ responsibilities to ensure that everything ran smoothly. When we had an issue with our transportation vendor, he offered to drive his personal car to pick-up the wedding guests. We would HIGHLY recommend Hans! -

Keaton Sent on 05/30/2021Hans is the best!
Hans played guitar for our ceremony and was also the DJ for our reception. He was amazing! We met with him several times and he helped us craft the perfect playlists for both events. He's very easy-going, great to work with and a very talented musician (the guitar music for our ceremony was beautiful). Highly recommend! -

Jessie Sent on 03/15/2021Great Sounds all Around
Hans was a pleasure to work with. He was very organized in helping us select all the weird songs we wanted to hear at different times during the reception.
Also his guitar playing during the ceremony was wonderful and really added to the excitement of the day -

Haley Sent on 01/03/2021Hans made our night perfect!
Hans was the perfect choice to have as the DJ for our wedding. Leading up to the big day, he was very communicative and helped us plan what songs we would want to have played throughout the ceremony, reception, and special events like cake cutting etc. He played his own guitar for the ceremony and has a great list of songs he can play.
The DJ sets the tone for the entire night, and Hans was perfect for our small, intimate wedding. We were concerned people would not want to dance, but he got the party started. He coordinated very well with our wedding planner to keep the night moving along smoothly. At the end of the night, my husband told him he would give him 6/5 stars on the review if he could. -

Amie Sent on 11/08/2020Made our Wedding 2020!
One of the few things we knew as we watched so many things changing in 2020 was that small guest count or not we had to have lots of music and dancing at our wedding. Hans delivered in the most amazing way, from acoustic guitar during our ceremony to Motown classics for our Brunch reception he was able to hit the perfect note. We danced all morning and had the most amazing time!! -

Amazing Musician/DJ
We picked out Hans to be our musician/DJ, because we heard him sing and play the guitar locally at a Hotel Congress event, and then found out he did weddings. He is one talented guy with an awesome laid-back character. He played the guitar as I walked down the aisle- setting the scene for a perfect goose-bump moment. He transitioned to DJ for the cocktail hour and reception- keeping the energy light and fun for the entire event. We love how professional, classic, and fun he was- creating the most awesome atmosphere on our wedding. We absolutely adore Hans and could not be happier with him being a part of our day! -

Lindsey Sent on 02/10/2019The Soundtrack for our Dream Wedding
We were absolutely delighted and honored to have Hans as our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour musician, as well as our reception DJ/MC extraordinaire! Yes -- he does it all! Seriously, do yourself a favor and book him for every event possible.
Hans is an incredibly talented classical guitarist. I loved listening to him play “Can’t Help Falling in Love” on acoustic guitar as I walked down the aisle. It is a moment I will not forget. Our guests could not stop raving about the beautiful guitar music he provided during our ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as his tasteful and fun music selections and MC work during our reception. His overall vibe/personality suited our event to a tee! He is so good at “reading the crowd” with the music selections he played, and he was helpful and understanding with any modifications we needed to make (like editing the length of our first dance song, adding an extra toast, or playing a song that our guests requested). Our wedding day flowed seamlessly thanks to the beautiful soundtrack that Hans crafted.
Hans' kindness and professionalism are effusive. He met with us prior to our event and graciously answered all of our questions regarding our timeline, music requests, and the flow of our event.
Hans is “Hans-down” (sorry, I had to) the best!

Antoinette Sent on 04/12/2017Hans played guitar for our ceremony and DJ'd and MC'd for our reception and he was absolutely fabulous! He kept everyone dancing and played the PERFECT music during our cocktail hour and dinner. I would highly recommend Hans to any and EVERY bride and groom in Tucson that's looking for someone whose truly a one-stop-shop for all things music for their wedding. If we ever need a DJ again, for any event, we would look no further than Hans Hutchison. -

He played the acoustic guitar during the ceremony, which was just an excellent touch, he's so talented! He had a nice flow to the evening, and really took the time to pay attention to details. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would hire him again, or recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! Best choice we could have made. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our day!
