Introduction

I'm basically a music nerd that loves getting people to dance. Once I get in the zone with a crowd I do not let up. I love being a part of someone's special day. My job is to make sure that not just great music gets played, but the couple and all of the guests have a great time.

My wife and I hired Dave to emcee our wedding and he helped make the night a very special occasion. We still have people who attended the event say how much of a great job he did. Dave was able to keep the event flowing and the people dancing all night. We felt at ease with his experience and knowledge. We would definitely recommend Dave to anyone who is in need of DJ entertainment for their event.

Dave dj-ed our wedding last year and was wonderful! He was hilarious and created such a warm, fun atmosphere. He took all the stuffiness out of a wedding, which I really wanted. His choice in music was perfect and appealed to our age- and culturally diverse guests--everyone was dancing! I would recommend him to anyone.

Dave is fantastic. He DJ'd our wedding almost a year ago, and we still have friends mention what a fantastic job he did! He's easygoing, non-pretentious, and has an amazing level of musical knowledge... and best of all, he really wants you to have a good time. Dave is happy to work with you to select a great mix of songs that are meaningful to you on a personal level, and he's equally comfortable gauging the interest of the crowd and catering to their tastes and energy level. He is highly professional, communicative and timely. I can't recommend him enough. His musical selections are one of my favorite wedding reception memories.

DJ Dave was amazing!!!!!!!! He played exactly what we asked him to play. I work at a bridal store so we had him dj while the store was open for regular business. The staff and customers loved his mix of 70's, 80's, 90's and today. He had us dancing all day long. Later that evening we hosted a prom fashion show at the store. The models were working it as they were strutting down the runway. You could see how much the models and the crowd loved the music. We were all ecstatic with DJ Dave's work and plan on using him again in the future! The staff from Impression Bridal

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm willing to work with almost any budget. I NEVER turn down gigs unless I am already booked. Don't have a ton of money? I will work something out with you. I know I'm not the cheapest DJ on Thumbtack, there are people here that buy a controller and a couple of speakers and now they're a pro...beware of anyone with super low prices. I've seen some of them work, they don't know how to read a crowd, they're clumsy with their gear and the volume.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, a phone consultation and then an in-person meet and greet...usually over coffee.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been DJing in some capacity since I was 15. I worked as a radio DJ for 4 years...in 2009 I gave DJing in public a shot and loved it...since then it has been non-stop. I have also been a sound engineer for 9 years, I worked at a music store for 4 years so I have extensive knowledge of sound equipment and lighting.
