When I got engaged, Aykut was the first person I contacted, I knew he had to DJ my wedding. He had been the DJ for my brother wedding five years earlier and people still, to this day, talk about what a fun party it was. We had a multi-cultural wedding as I am Persian and my husband is American, but Aykut kept everyone on the dance floor all night, perfectly blending together music that everyone was able to enjoy and dance to. Aykut is so professional, kind and very easy to get in touch with. He never made me feel like any question or request i had was silly or unreasonable. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to think twice about him arriving on time, setting up properly or executing the days work to perfection. I would absolutely recommend Aykut to anyone looking to throw a great party! Already looking forward to working with him again. read more

Aykut was absolutely perfect for our wedding. My husband and I have slightly difficult to pronounce banners and he got them right every time during announcements which is truly so nice. He was so easy going and communicated well. He took all our requests and made our night go so smoothly! I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an event DJ read more

Aykut just did our wedding this weekend in San Jose and he killed it! We had a very unique requirement in that this was a Persian / Arabic wedding so we needed the perfect blend of traditional music from both of our cultures but also young, cool modern American music to keep the party going - Aykut delivered all this and more. The music selection was flawless and transitioned so seamlessly. But probably the most important and under-rated point was that every detail from the microphones to the volume level etc was perfect - no mishaps whatsoever which was very important to us. Thank you!! read more

Despite the stress of Covid during our September wedding, Aykut aided in making ours a dream come true! He helped us curate our playlist, which included a variety of modern and classic US songs and Iranian music. Both of our families and friends were up on their feet dancing their hearts out.

We had our wedding this past Memorial Day weekend at a winery in Sonoma, CA. And I will start off by saying DJ Aykut was not our first choice for DJs. Being from Georgia and attending a ton of weddings, I've always had a list of vendors in mind that I wanted to use for my wedding. We had decided on a family friend based out of Atlanta who had years of experience DJing weddings, got him approved by the Winery, and had him visit the Winery / meet with the venue coordinator. But then after some miscommunication, he decided that he was going to book two other weddings in Atlanta that weekend and then tell me afterwards. So then we were back to square one. We decided to find someone off of our venue's preferred vendor list so that we wouldn't have to go through the process of getting another vendor approved. Our wedding planner recommended AMS Entertainment. So I spoke with Joe H over the phone, and I just didn't get a good vibe from him. The pricing and the disorganization of the call, I was feeling uneasy about signing with them. He also just felt very pushy and kept wanting us to sign a contract. So I decided to reach out to a few more vendors on the list, and I will say that Aykut immediately impressed me with how quickly he responded to my emails. He provided all the information that I asked, and it was within our price range. So he informed me that he was booked that weekend but that we would have DJ Dave Gilles if we decided to go with them. I set up a call with Dave, and he was very easy to talk to, and I could tell he had a lot of experience doing weddings. Fast forward a few weeks before our wedding, we were doing the order of our wedding a little different. And I wasn't quite sure if DJ Dave understood what we were trying to do but on the day of, he blew it out of the water. He was so great! The day felt like it moved very smoothly, and when the dance floor finally opened up, everyone flooded the dance floor. It was super epic. Everyone was dancing all night long and had a great time! So after this long winded story, the point is, sometimes the best things are unexpected. read more

DJ Aykut is the best!! My wife and I had him DJ our wedding and we were not disappointed. He took all of our suggested genres and playlists and blended them with his own style. Aykut MC'd dinner perfectly, working with the coordinator to manage the timing,speeches, etc. And after dinner, the dance floor was not empty for a single moment. He read the crowd and played the music that everyone wanted/needed. He was also able to incorporate some slower songs seamlessly here and there for some of the grandparents. DJ Aykut, our wedding was better because of you. Thank you again! read more

I had discovered Aykut on Yelp, when in the process of trying to find a DJ for a Grand Opening Bunch. I was a little stressed about ensuring the music selection was on point and up to par with the ambiance we were trying to create. I honestly could not have made a better choice! Aykut was very professional and prompt throughout the whole process. I gave him very little direction in terms of the type of music we would want, and the tone he set really made the event! Every song choice and transition was so smooth and fitting. This will definitely not be the last time we use Aykut for an event, and I can not recommend him enough! read more

We hired DJ Aykut for our wedding based on his Yelp reviews and were so happy! He communicated throughout and always responded to my emails. He was not only professional but dressed for our formal wedding, which I really appreciated. Most importantly the music was UNREAL! We had guests from 80 years old to my sorority girlfriends on the dance floor the entire night. He also always played what fit the mood throughout cocktail hour and dinner. If you want everyone dancing at your reception than I'd highly recommend. read more

When we were planning our wedding reception, we knew we wanted a great DJ as we love to dance. I conducted extensive research evaluating over 30 different DJs in the Bay Area and whittled the list down to 8 to interview. Of all of the 8, Aykut stood out from the rest. From our very first conversation, I felt an immediate connection with Aykut. He really listened to understand and his patient demeanor was very much appreciated. He understood the diverse group of people attending our reception and was prepared for all types of music. We also took song recommendations from all of our guests and he weaved them into an amazing evening of laughter, fun, and frivolity. His experience as a club DJ was evident and his skill at guiding the evening while making sure everyone was having fun was impressive. I was nervous when I had the task of choosing the DJ. Dance and music are so incredibly important to my now wife and I didn't want to mess this up. The DJ really makes the evening a success and Aykut exceeded our expectations. We had such a good experience that we plan to go see Aykut perform at one of his public events. I would use him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him! read more

Aykut has been rocking our lives for 15 years! We first met him at a campus party, then we started going to events he organizes, then we hired him for our wedding party (people still talk about that night). Since then we love it when he DJs any event we might attend: wedding, gala, holiday party etc... With Aykut, it is guaranteed that people will be dancing and having fun. An Aykut event, is going to be a fun event. I particularly recommend Aykut for any multi-cultural crowd. Aykut knows his audience, and tailors the music to match. From pop to disco, Latin to Middle Eastern, its always someone's turn to have a blast and show their moves! read more

I had Aykut DJ my wedding and he did an amazing job! Our wedding was a bicultural wedding (Irish and Persian) he did a great job in helping us meld the two cultures. He also did a great job generally MCing the event. When our parents were starting their speeches Aykut made sure that the videographer was present before we started to ensure we captured the moment. He does a great job doing his own duties and also ensures that other vendors do the same. I would highly recommend you hire him for your next event. read more

Let me start by saying: Wow, what a great person, what a great DJ! We hired Aykut for our wedding. He had to move between locations, he had to deal with different cultures, we had several special requests and were very particular what song needed to be played when and starting at which second (yes, second!) during our ceremony, first dance, etc - but Aykut got everything 100% right. And while I started to feel bad about asking for so many very particular things, he just seemed to enjoy that we challenged him a little bit. The music he played during our party was perfect and got everyone going. In fact, the party got so good that we stretched the time a little bit as no one wanted to go home yet. He was so easy to work with, very accommodating and did everything he could to help make this the perfect day for us. On top of that, Aykut is such a friendly, happy and "real" person. He sends out so many positive vibes that you can only smile when around him. I would hire him again any time! read more

My husband and I made our music selections and left the rest up to him. Our entire Wedding party was on the dance floor until he announced closing at 2am. It not only met but exceeded our expectations!! Music selection was perfect!! Our guests loved him and danced to all his music selections (Persian, American, Middle Eastern songs)!! Thank you Aykut for helping make our day memorable!! Sepi & Soso read more

His experience and professionalism made the whole process easy, giving us more time to stress about the caterer. :P  We gave the most minimal song selection and guidance as to what we wanted for music and it was as if he had read our minds! Every song was magic and all the guests felt it as they were all out of their seats and danced for hours!!

Aykut was fantastic! He was super flexible and easy to work with for our budget and event needs. AWESOME awesome DJ'ing at the actual event - killer music that everyone loved. We did a 275-person corporate event with a 1920s theme; he helped us set the mood with up-lighting and a patterned wall lighting to create an amazing vibe. So good that I definitely want to go his other events. Book him! :D read more

DJ Aykut did a fantastic job at our wedding. (February, 2019). I was struggling finding a DJ that could entertain both my Persian/Filipino Side, and my Husbands Irish background. Our wedding was a black tie event and one would automatically assume a Band would host the party. I was torn, because I wanted to include Persian Music, which would be tough for a Band to perform. After searching the web, I finally decided to reach out to Aykut. A decision I will never regret! It's important for a bride to feel at ease, and to trust your vendors. Any bridezilla question I had, DJ Aykut put my mind at ease. Great communicator and an amazing HOST!! He knew how to keep people on the dance floor and I did not regret my decision in hiring him. read more

Weddings can be a tricky crowd to please. You've got people from all generations and the level of stress for the bride and groom normally just add more fuel to the fire. Aykut was a fantastic MC/DJ who completely met our expectations. We received many many compliments on the music and our dance floor was packed for the entire 2 hours of our dancing portion of the wedding. Also, we wanted some Persian music mixed in with electronic, popular, and Latin and he totally delivered. We would hire him again in an instant. Thanks Aykut! read more

We hired Aykut for our wedding this past weekend, and it was a great decision. He played alongside a middle eastern band we hand hired. Aykut was able to seamlessly transition from the band set to his set. He also had a tall order of mixing American top 40 songs along with Persian, Arabic, and Armenian songs. It was flawless, and he rocked it. Aykut was professional, super helpful, fun, energetic and lit up our dance floor when he came on. We got a lot of positive reviews from our guests about his DJ set...my only regret, I wish I had him play for longer! We had people young and old on the dance floor having a blast. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for wedding or any other occasion. Aykut's very easy to work with, humble, personable, and professional. read more

DJ Aykut- Awesome Job. We needed a DJ for a large event at the Convention Center for two days, to create an ambiance at the lobby area. The thought about DJ came to us two days before the event date and Aykut made it happen, despite of the last minute call. While we were expecting some nice background lounge music, we did not expect the crowd to be swept with Yakut's music and start dancing in groups. He was excellent and everyone seemed to have a great time. Lots of attendees mentioned how good he was. Easy to deal with, great to listen, I would definitely recommend him Thank you Aykut. read more

DJ Aykut is hands down the best in the business. We recently did our wedding and absolutely crushed it. I've never seen a more lively dance floor at any event. His ability to sense what the crowd wants is unmatched. He created the perfect flow of music to keep everyone and all generations on the floor. Safe to say he helped make our wedding more fun than we thought it could be. read more

We booked Aykut for our wedding and reception this July. The TL;DR: He was professional to the utmost degree AND provided an extremely fun party for our family and friends. The full scoop: He was easy to communicate with throughout the process, providing prompt email replies and arranging skype sessions to discuss details when needed. He guided us through what information we needed to furnish, and once we had nailed down songs (processional, first dance and parent dances, etc) he took that information and turned out a flawless event for us. His dj skills during our reception kept the dance floor full! He asked us to provide some basics (a few must play songs, a list of do-not-under-any-circumstances-even-if-the-bride's-brother-begs play songs), but otherwise we trusted the party to him. And we were very happy with the results! We couldn't leave the floor the whole time, because it was non-stop fun. Of note, we also had a mixed crowd of American and International guests, which Aykut handled with ease. We can't say enough good things about Aykut and would happily book him again if we needed someone for another event. Thank you so much, Aykut! read more

What a successful evening thanks to Aykut! Many of the team members said it was the best holiday party ever! He was extremely easy to work with and knows exactly how to gauge a crowd.

I found DJ Aykut on Google for my engagement party, literally typing "best DJs in the Bay Area". once I saw that he had the highest reviews, I found his Instagram and YouTube to check him out. I found that my cousin's wife follows him, and getting such high reviews from someone I knew made it that much of an easier choice for me; sure enough, my fiancé and I's party was a huge hit, seriously getting compliments on the DJ. Almost the entire night was spent dancing away, except of course during dinner, and everyone having a blast.
