Hiring Greg Lowder (Affairs to Remember) is one of the best event-related decisions we made for our wedding. Affairs to Remember was referred to us by our wedding planner, as one of several deejay / emcee "options" to interview. After reviewing each vendor's respective website, we elected to meet Greg, and, after that first meeting, we never looked back. We appreciated how Greg framed the DJ / MC decision as one that would set the tone for the wedding reception. He did so in a straight-forward way that helped us understand this instrumental role of the vendor, representing himself and his services well without coming across as a used car salesman. He was incredibly prepared for each of our subsequent meetings, of which there were two or three. My wife and I appreciated that Greg wanted to know what kind of music we like, what we wanted to hear during different parts of the reception, and also how we wanted the atmosphere to feel. Greg worked woth us to build a musical repitoire that everyone, regardless of musical preference or will to dance, could enjoy. He is dedicated to his craft, staying current on the business and musical aspects. On his feet, Greg did a great job of engaging guests in fun activities and reading the crowd. We are super happy with his professionalism, hard work, and the reception music and atmosphere. We had a blast, and would absolutely hire Greg again. read more

It wasn't until after the ceremony that we heard someone comment that Greg of Affairs to Remember was "the godfather of the Seattle DJ scene", and it's easy to see why. Greg's energy matched what we wanted from our wedding: Laid-back lounge during happy hour and dinner, then dancing until closing time. He expertly em-ceed the transitions between our formal entrance, our first dance, speeches, and even had songs ready to go for each "award" that we gave out during our thank-you speech. We appreciated Greg's thoroughness leading up to the wedding, too. Neither of us had wedding parties, so the ceremony itself was short, but Greg encouraged us to take the time to think about the songs we wanted to walk to. Thank you, Greg, for making ours an affair to remember. read more

See all

As a fellow DJ in the industry, I can attest that Greg is seen not only as a leader in this industry, but a local super star. It's hard to find a wedding vendor who doesn't know Greg (they all rave about him and adore him). He is not only one of the best in Seattle, he's one of the best in the country! read more

Everyone is still talking about how "that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding," and " I don't think I've ever had so much fun!" Greg Lowder with Affairs to Remember made our day perfect. Our guests (including my 90 YEAR OLD GRANDMA) danced their butts off all night and had the time of their lives! Another thing that was really great and sets Greg apart from other DJ's in town is that he worked with us throughout the planning process. By the time the big day was here he knew all my other vendors and we were all friends on facebook so that by wedding day it was beyond fun! I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes to have a team of vendors like we had! If you want your wedding to be an event your family and friends rave about for years to come then call Greg! read more

Affairs to Remember took THE best care of us at our wedding!!! As a bride thinking about wedding costs, I was really skeptical about spending the money on a DJ - we could save the cash and use an iPod, right? Then as we got closer to the date, people started making song requests, we had to decide who would be the emcee, I started worrying that a drunk relative might get hold of a mic and be embarrassing - and it clicked that I NEEDED a professional to handle the details so my guests could be GUESTS and enjoy the night and so I didn't have to worry about the details. I was also spared having to nag my fiancé & family to help build a playlist when we're all crazy busy - Affairs to Remember did it ALL. Greg with Affairs to Remember came and met us at our home, talked us through the ceremony and reception, asked us questions about our preferences, got the list of PLEASE do NOT play songs/artists, and made suggestions on how to make the night flow smoothly. Greg knows music genres and eras, movie soundtracks and theme songs INCREDIBLY well. He made poignant suggestions for songs and instrumentals for times when we hadn't even thought about music. One example - we told him we're golfers and some of our friends would be holding up golf clubs for us to walk under as we would enter the reception (a take on the saber arch from military weddings) - Greg suggested we use the music from The Masters telecasts & together we came up with something "golf broadcast-esque" for him to say as he introduced us as Mr. & Mrs. for the first time. It was an absolute HIT and the highlight of the night. I can't recommend Affairs to Remember ENOUGH!!! read more

Great did a great job you did at our wedding!! It was just the style and energy we were looking for and our guests really did enjoy and have fun! The ceremony went off perfectly and I thought everything flowed so smoothly. I noticed the bassa nova during dinner and all the other touches or "must hear" artists that we discussed. Most importantly, we loved that the crowd was dancing (and dancing, and dancing) until midnight. Greg was easy to work with and fun to talk too! I also really enjoyed our planning session at home he brought great ideas when we didn't know what we wanted. read more

We had the pleasure of having Greg as our DJ for our Wedding in June. So helpful throughout the wedding planning process - gave me so many ideas with other vendors as well as recommendations to keep the night flowing smoothly. We met several times, answering all my questions as they came. He was fantastic the night of, we had rave reviews from several guests. He kept the night rolling so smoothly - as well as kept the guest dancing. Very personable! I HIGHLY recommend him!! read more

Greg Lowder (Affairs to Remember) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was timely and our guests were particularly impressed with how Greg kept the party flowing. Everyone had a great time, and Greg was able to keep the dance floor filled all the way until the end of the reception. Guests also remarked how Greg kept the volume at the right temperature throughout the event so that those guests closest to the speakers could easily talk to others. We had a Jewish wedding and Greg played a great version of the Hora. Greg was also instrumental in helping us pull off several fun events, such as a teddy bear toss for the children and some fun jokes we played with the bouquet and garter toss. He did a masterful job of moving us through all the events of the night to keep us close to the timing schedule we put together, and he did this without making us feel rushed. One thing that really impressed us about Greg was that he went above and beyond in helping take down some tables when the venue was being converted to have a bigger dance floor. This type of work was not in the job contract with Greg but with his help, we were able to transition from eating dinner to the rest of the activities more quickly. We will always be appreciative for the awesome job Greg did in helping to make our wedding day one of the most fun days of our lives and we would highly recommend Greg! read more

Greg was the DJ and MC for my wedding this past Sunday, 6/5/16. As part of the package he offers for wedding DJ services, he met my (now) wife and I, learned what we are like as individuals and as a couple, and tailored the music and the atmosphere to suit us perfectly. He was amazing! I've been to weddings where the DJ is much more interested in being "Deeeee-jaaaay-whoever!" than on supporting the couple being married; Greg is the polar opposite. If I could give him 10/5 stars I would in a heartbeat. In hindsight, Greg offers a much more comprehensive package than what my wife and I needed; we definitely underutilized him compared to what he's capable of and what he prepares for, but he took it in stride and gave us the wedding reception we imagined. Thanks Greg! read more

Amazing service! Greg put his heart and soul into the music at my wedding and reception. So much thought and effort was put into the choices of my music and lighting. read more

We honestly did not realize how much of a huge positive impact a great DJ/MC could have until we worked with Greg for our wedding. We went into the music portion of our wedding planning completely blind and directionless. Greg helped guide us with immensely helpful forms defining which portions of the ceremony and reception could have music and great examples and recommendations for everything. He was so game for all of our ideas and it was clear that he had experienced all styles and approaches with his past clients, so we knew he would understand and execute no matter what our vision was. His communication with us and with our wedding planner was nothing short of excellent. He flawlessly helped our day progress through our timeline with his MC-ing and when it came to dancing he read the room incredibly and created such a perfect mix of music. His extensive experience in the industry cannot be understated or underappreciated!! We had the most perfect experience with Greg and are forever grateful! read more

This is a long-deserved review for Greg (was looking through Yelp for kids event planners). Greg emceed my marriage reception in 2008, and we still talk about how great a job he did. He took care of many of the details of announcing, timing and of course, was a great DJ. His attention to detail and professionalism could not have been better.We recently attended a wedding where they could have REALLY used a Greg Lowder! So glad he's still doing his thing - he's probably only gotten better, which is hard to imagine! Come to think of it, we will probably hire him for our 10 year annversary party if we can! read more

Greg is a phenomenal DJ who quickly became a true friend of ours during the process. He loves what he does and I believe that makes all the difference. His original presentation won us over as he made us feel that he's invested in and excited about our day, that he didn't just view it as another gig. We were able to meet for dinner a few times throughout planning and it helped us build a great relationship. He had an endless amount of great music and entertainment ideas. Our ceremony was outside in the field away from any power, and I was nervous about logistics. Greg assured us everything would be just perfect with the small generator, and it was! The shoe game was a hit with his fun questions and commentary. He kept the day running smoothly from arrival, to ceremony, to dinner, to dancing, to send off. He was flexible through any challenges and provided us with a wonderful wedding experience. His skill is invaluable! read more

Greg Lowder is AMAZING! Definitely book this guy as your event DJ and MC! He did our wedding, and everything worked out so well and so perfectly. We met with him a few times, but were planning our wedding long-distance, but he had no problem creating the perfect sound track for our wedding! He really listened to everything we said and perfectly accommodated our widely divergent musical tastes throughout the evening and played something for everyone once the dance floor opened as we had a wide range of ages attending! People were on the dance floor at all times! He kept the party moving seamlessly. He is extremely professional but very relaxed and easy to get along with. He also gave excellent recommendations and feedback in our meetings, which I so appreciated since I've never planned any such event before! Definitely book Greg! read more

As the DJ and MC of our wedding reception, Greg provided so much more than just a set list and an order of ceremonies - he helped us build a soundtrack for our day and turned our mid-day wedding reception into a full-on dance party! Nearly a month after the wedding we are still having friends tell us our wedding was the most fun they've had in ages. Greg consulted with us multiple times prior to our wedding. He had some great event planning tools that made music selection and the flow of events within the reception go much more smoothly than if we had tried to plan the specifics without his help. Throughout the process, Greg remained focused on understanding our personality as a couple and ensuring that our hopes for a fun, energetic, and family-oriented event would echo throughout the day. During the reception, he demonstrated his vast experience in weddings with his ability to flex our timeline based on his observations of how much fun our guests were having - he was truly engaged in the events and knew how to read a crowd and build the atmosphere we were hoping for. We're so glad Greg was our DJ and would recommend him wholeheartedly! read more

Greg Lowder was a fantastic guy to work with! We met with Greg a couple of times before the wedding and always had a great time. On the day Greg was great at moving things along smoothly so that everyone always knew what was going on. The music Greg played was exactly what we were looking for - from the wedding ceremony songs to the music which everyone was dancing too it was all brilliant! When I say everyone, I mean everyone, at some points all of our guests were up on the dance floor. Greg kept the song genres mixed enough to keep a few people dancing at all times which made for a great night. Some of our guests were Russian and Greg was able to play a couple of their native songs also which were definitely a hit! Overall it was definitely a great decision to hire Greg as our DJ and we would highly recommend him to anyone! :-) read more
