Jennifer H. Sent on 11/29/2022Just hire him now!
Drew is simply amazing! He is not only a wonderful DJ but an even better person. He provided us and our guests with the exact musical experience we wanted and even surprised us with Dutch and German songs without us even asking! Everyone was in absolute awe of him and raved about how great he was. We added on live music (saxophone player) and were blown away he found someone so wonderful for our special day. We would 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking to have a memorable wedding DJ experience! He single handedly brought the vibe we wanted for our wedding alive. -
Sarah Sent on 06/29/2018Drew was phenomenal. He understood our eclectic music tastes and created exactly the dance party we were hoping for. His skill at mixing songs and reading the crowd is magical. Drew is great at communicating, meeting in person, and providing online resources to connect with him. When his busy season starts, he remains responsive with friendly auto-reply messages and getting back by phone/text.
Drew is a real person, not a cheesy wedding DJ. He is interesting, funny, and a pro at his job. I hope we have another reason to throw a sweet party someday so we can hire him again.
Drew's uplighting is also a great addition to a venue - talk with him, your photographer and venue coordinator about it in advance to see if it makes sense for your celebration. -

Emmanuelle Sent on 12/30/2017Have you ever met someone and you knew INSTANTLY you would get along with them? This was not the case. Why do I say that? Because my husband and I knew it BEFORE we met The Songstruck DJ, aka Drew.
We opted to drive down to San Diego from Los Angeles because we figured it was best to catch Drew on his home turf. Plus if we went over on time during our meeting (and we did), then we wouldn’t feel like he would have to rush home. We met him towards the end of August 2016 and had some of the best tacos ever, chatted and got to know each other, but when it came down to business, it was clear that Drew was definitely no amateur. The laptop cracked open and the focus began. We went through ALL genres of music, from the earliest of music days, to the then-current music. I was so impressed by how thorough he was, that I am pretty sure I spaced out at some point, just to gape in awe and wonder.
Although my husband and I knew we would book him based on comfortability, personality and the fact that Drew doesn’t play the typical top pop songs music list, what clenched the deal for us was a simple question he asked us during the meeting/interview: “What kind of music do your friends and family like to listen to?” Drew’s goal is to have the dance floor constantly full. Due to our wedding venue we didn’t need the additional lighting, but we wanted him there for the ceremony and although our ceremony started at 4, he showed up around 1 to setup!
It’s been over 3 months since our wedding and people are still saying things like, “Man… you guys had such awesome music playing, even before the wedding began. It was so different.” Remember: your wedding dj is the composer for the film that is your wedding. I don’t even know how to summarize how blessed/honored I was to have The Songstruck DJ there to make my day as memorable as he did. There just aren’t enough words (and WW doesn't allow enough space!). -

Hayley Sent on 01/15/2018Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in need of the ultimate wedding DJ, look no further and book Drew as soon as you can! There are so many things I could say but until you book him and see all of the amazing thing he does, you truly won't know what you are missing out on. I will start by saying that the DJ was in the top five on my priority list when it came to my budget and planning of my wedding. I truly believe they can make or break not only your guests but your wedding experience. I was really struggling to find a DJ that vibed with my husband and I, while also feeling i could trust that they could vibe the mix of older conservative and young partiers in the crowd. Immediately after contacting him, Drew sent me a detailed packet outlining the wedding minute by minute, with details I never would have thought of on my own. This helped tremendously and I knew I could trust him to do a great job. I got married in Temecula, in the July heat, at an outdoor, hilly, spread out venue with dodgy cell service. Drew got there before he said he would, and he seriously worked his ass off from start to finish. I don't give compliments lightly, and I can honestly say with all of my heart that out of all of my vendors, Drew was by far my favorite. He did everything we asked him to do with no attitude, he takes serious pride in his work, he handles the stress of a wedding day so well, and he truly seems to love what he does. He stayed until the very end. Drew is so much more than a DJ, he is worth every penny. Don't get stuck with a cheesy DJ that clocks in and clocks out for his payday! Drew will make your day!!

Jaclyn Sent on 12/29/2017I first met Drew at a Toasted event at Brick, the venue I ended up choosing. I think I was first struck by his eclectic mix of songs and high energy. I reached out to him and got a quick response with many details about the way he does things. He also included an e-book on choosing the best DJ for your wedding, which I think just blew me away. No one does that! I'd been to a ton of weddings where the DJ played the same ol songs. I didn't want to go too low on my DJ budget because I already knew that vibe he set would be the vibe set for the whole wedding. And he talks about that in his philosophy. I then met with Drew for a beer, and he was an awesome dude! He liked a lot of really good music and he was a true DJ, not someone just playing a tape. It mattered to me that he knew a LOT of music. This was one of the easiest decisions for me as far as vendors go. He was very thorough in all his responses. There was only one period when he didn't respond immediately and give me the initial music wedding packet, but he apologized and was quickly on top of everything again after a few back to back weddings. My fiancé and I met him again a few weeks before the wedding to go over our music choices, and I felt very confident about it all. We had an awesome night dancing and singing. Many guests have told me that the dancing was amazing at my wedding. The music matters! Drew is a real, down-to-earth guy who obviously cares a lot about what he does. I agree with Drew: it's worth it to invest in your DJ. Choose SongStruck!

Katharine Sent on 05/20/2016All the reviews here, so true.
Drew has been a pleasure to work with! He was super fun to chat with, very responsive with emails, and great at giving suggestions. He makes it very easy for you to plan your wedding, musically, by providing a Google doc/form that asks very detailed questions. He also combs through it to make sure that things makes sense and will give feedback so that your day runs as smoothly as possible. Planning with him is super easy/smooth! If you're wanting a certain vibe for your big day, he'll help you to create that with suggestions and guide you through and through.
On the day of, he also got to our venue very early to take his time setting up and make sure things were set up well. He even helped out some of our other vendors to lend an extra hand if he was already done with his own things. We also let him know that we would have a friend sing for our wedding and officiate for the ceremony. He helped to set ALL of that up. Brought wireless mics, got them each set up and ready to go. Seamless.
We opted to go for the whole package with ceremony, reception and lighting. Our ceremony was outdoors so he adjusted the volume to help compete with the cars that you could hear down the street. For cocktail hour, (from what I was told.. let's be honest, the day was kind of a blur for us), the music was very enjoyable (I left it to his discretion). The reception? Awesome! He played all our favorite tracks, even added in some choices of his own, depending on how the crowd was going. When it came to dancing, he was able to read everyone and played some awesome songs. The uplights were awesome. -
User2429330 Sent on 11/16/2015Drew met with my daughter and her fiancee several times to get to know them and determine what they wanted from the reception. He also came to the walk through at the venue and miked the officiant and Jason for the ceremony... and was on hand for back up for the guitarist just in case. We had a packed dance floor all evening and perfect music for the dinner hour. Our venue is a challenge accoustically and Drew was very considerate during the dinner hour of tamping down the volume to encourage conversation. He orchestrated the evening beautifully with the first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance. Then.. the party started and it never stopped... great crowd pleasing songs that worked for everyone. Highest recommendations!!!
