This review is way overdue. Dean made everything about our day perfect. From helping with the timeline, to going over songs and planning the music, even helping us celebrate a birthday on our day. Dean made everything easier and he brought the party. Will be using his services for any party we have. Thank you so much for making our day even more memorable and special! -

Jessica Sent on 06/27/2019Dean really made our night sparkle!
Dean is an absolute joy to work with! He has such a fun personality and really enjoys the meaning behind what he does. Another huge plus is that he makes the night ALL about YOU! He's fun and entertaining and gets the attention of guests (we had 300!), but directs the attention onto the people he works for.
He is much more than just a DJ; he helped us plan the events of the night and gave sound suggestions and advice based on his many years of experience. He really helped us make sure that the main players (bride, groom, parents, and family) and the guests were all honored appropriately.
Dean responds very promptly through email and is extremely flexible. I emailed him about a change in the Daddy/Daughter dance song a couple days before the wedding and he quickly and gladly changed it. He also can change/shorten any songs for you if needed.
On the day of the wedding, Dean was very helpful in making sure the night run smoothly (Including both the ring ceremony and reception). He followed our itinerary closely and made sure we had time to eat. Dean chose most of our songs for the night and they were all wonderful and fun. Our 300 guests all enjoyed grooving to his music on the dance floor. He also threw in some beautiful uplighting which added a nice touch to the reception.
His price is so reasonable for all the help and services he rendered. We're forever grateful for him and definitely recommend him whole heartedly! -

Traci Sent on 08/10/2018Dean made our wedding! Definitely the best DJ I’ve ever seen. He was a joy to work with and was so organized that it made things easier for myself and the wedding coordinator. He was very professional but also hilarious and very entertaining. My husband and I gave him a short list of requests and let him take it from there. He did not disappoint and we received several compliments on how great the DJ/music was. Highly recommend Dean for a wedding or any event! -

Jessica Sent on 06/09/2016If you are looking for a DJ/MC Dean is your guy! He was the DJ/MC at my wedding and he made it fun. He made sure that everyone got on the dance floor. If you are stuck on what songs to play at your event he had quite a selection for you to review which was very helpful for me and my fiance. He made sure that we kept to the wedding timeline and everything went wonderful. My guests very enjoyed his accent. I highly recommend Dean for your next event! -

Mirna Sent on 05/03/2014I did no want to leave this review yet as I have yet to email Dean to thank him for his amazing talent at our wedding. But I have started leaving reviews because I am THRILLED with everyone and everything that was part of our wedding. Dean was a huge hit. From the first conversation we had, to the very last, he is such a funny guy with such ease for a fun event. Music was one of my main priorities and we nailed it with Dean because everyone had a great time! he made our timeline flow easily Nd included every single request we had and was very understanding through it all. He was part of an unforgettable night and we couldn't be more thankful. Thank you Dean!!!- michael and mirna -

Michelle Sent on 05/25/2012I can make this review very short ... HIRE DEAN! You will not be disappointed! Our wedding was perfect and that was in large part to him. He kept the party going and did a great job of keeping all the necessary "events" on task. Thank you so much Dean!!! -

Alicia Sent on 12/12/2011Dean was great!!!! You won't be disappointed! You do not want to get stuck with a bad dj on your wedding, so you have to trust me when I say that you will not have to worry about a thing if you hire Dean. He is so responsible, easy-going, professional, and has a great personality and sense of humor. Played the songs we wanted and kept everyone entertained!!!!
Thanks Dean! -

Natanya Sent on 08/24/2011Dean was absolutely amazing in every sense! He did music for both our wedding ceremony and reception at Malibou Lake Mountain Club in Agoura Hills, CA (which I 100% recommend) and everything was perfect! He was the best MC and DJ ever - every song was "my favorite" and so much fun to dance to that I had to force myself off the floor to eat cake hahahaha. Dean is friendly, fun, responsive to emails and calls (returns them within an hour), flexible with meetings, relaxed and cool at the event and is a great judge of guests in terms of finding music to keep everyone happy. I would recommend him in a heartbeat for anyone and everyone! -

Katy Sent on 10/07/2009Dean did an incredible job at our wedding! From the beginning he gave us TOP SERVICE! He always drove to our place when it was convenient to us to go over details and was very accomodating with all of our requests. Our reception was perfect and I have absolutely no complaints. Dean really takes care of everything and we didnt have to worry at all! He is very professional and had people dancing all night!!! I highly recommend Dean for any occasion! -

Dee Sent on 07/15/2009Did an extraordinary job handling the music for the ceremony, and reception. All my guests at one point were out of their chairs, jumping up and down dancing. There was not a guest who didn't dance! And Dean the DJ played all of our selected music, even took requests from the crowd. I was very happy. He was very flexible with his scheduling. He also came out to the rehearsal, and played the music at the rehearsal for all of us to practice to. And the accent comes with the price! -

Liana Sent on 05/16/2009Dean was AMAZING!!
My mother found him via wedding wire and narrowed down our choices so I could book a DJ. We had a destination wedding so it was difficult for us to meet with everyone in person. All it took with Dean was one phone call though and I was sold! After I sent him an email, he responded right away, and we talked on the phone that same day. He has some amazing ideas on how to get people involved in our themed-wedding and was cracking me up in the first few minutes.
He took time out to drive all the way to our location to meet us once we were there (we had to do all the planning in one week in LA) and spent lots of time walking through the location and figuring out how things would work. He was very helpful and had great ideas, but let us have the final say in preferences.
Leading up to the wedding, our music was the last thing we worked on, so he didn't get our requests until the day before / day of the wedding. We gave it to him typed up and disks/mp3s of the requests and everything went seamlessly (and if there were any behind-the-scenes hiccups, we didn't know. Our wedding ran late because of unusual traffic (we got married on Palm Sunday) in the area but Dean still went with the flow and kept us on-track throughout the ceremony and reception. He played some great songs we didn't pick plus our requests and requests of our guests, and added humor and fun to our reception. Plus, our guest loved his English accent!
I'm a wedding photographer and I work with a LOT of vendors, and you can tell Dean loves what he does. He was so into his job at hand he refused to eat the meal (all of our vendors had a place to sit with the rest of us, as per my request).
Dean was amazing to work with and I'd HIGHLY recommend him for any wedding or event!!

Helen Sent on 03/13/2008The most important things for our wedding were Music and Alcohol! Hiring Dean was the BEST decision for our wedding. Not only he was our DJ, but he also acted as our wedding coordinator. He made sure everything flows smoothly and he exceeded our expectations! All of our guests were so impressed with Dean, he knows when to change music to bring people right back onto the dance floor. Our guests danced ALL NIGHT and many claimed the best wedding they've been to! We let him decide when to stop the music and he closed at the perfect timing!! Everyone left with the BEST memory ever!!! The sweetest thing was that, he found a song that you can't find anywhere online for my mom, and when he played that song...my mom burst into tears immediately. He even burned us 2 copies to bring home! I can't say enough how happy we are with Dean's service and his professionalism. He can make your event unforgettable, for sure!!! -

Highly, highly recommended DJ for any occasion!
Wedding 5/13/23. Throughout the wedding DJ process, Dean Henderson was professional, funny, and (thankfully) patient with us. During our first Zoom call, he led us through many of the key decisions we would need to make, including timing, the structure of the ceremony and reception, and more. He gave us great advice that went beyond the music and much of which we incorporated into our day. He expressed a level of strategy in how songs were played that was so much more than we expected. He said he kept an eye on where key people would be during the reception to make sure they were present for any songs requested. He also said he alternated music genres to make sure all groups had something to dance to, and he would deviate from his planned music as needed to adjust to the crowd and make sure people were always dancing. And all for a very reasonable price that kept us under our entertainment budget! Dean made sure to let us know that we could reach out to him anytime with questions or advice, and he was very prompt in responding to all of our emails. He was extremely methodical and strategic about ensuring that we–as well as our guests–would have the best time possible.
When our wedding day came, Dean truly went above and beyond in making sure all of the details were finalized and that we were all on the same page, including making sure the venue was doing its job to keep us on schedule. He also provided some fantastic advice to us that made a *world* of difference. Since my mom had been seriously ill leading up to the wedding, my wife and I had been torn on whether to change the combined father-daughter/mother-son dance to just a father-daughter dance. Dean told us that it was completely our decision but also that, if I had any desire to include a mother-son dance, I would almost certainly regret it if we left it out. Once Dean said it, I knew that he was completely right. I am so grateful to Dean for his insight because it was such a wonderful moment with my mom and an experience that I will never forget. Dean was a consummate professional and balanced both my and my wife’s song requests and ideas, which was not easy given our very different tastes in music. So many of the guests told us that the music selection was perfect! Thank you so much Dean for making our wedding that much more special! -

Abigail Sent on 10/26/2017We absolutely LOVED having Dean as our wedding DJ. We met him early in our wedding planning process and he gave us the most amazing advice, not just about music, but about the flow of the ceremony and important ways to make our family feel honored throughout the evening. Dean has years of experience and really could be not only your DJ, but also your coordinator! And once the floor opened for dancing after the toasts and first dance, Dean really made sure we had a good time. He also made sure to play all of our salsa faves. Thanks Dean!
