His communication was prompt and professional, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. The kids had an absolute blast and the adults were so impressed and had THE BEST time. I can't count how many people said they want him for their next party. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using him for all of our future events!

One of the best choices we made for our wedding was including DJ PTK…read more Our wedding involved some challenging venues - a friends farm and then a beach-party reception - but DJPTK made both settings sound great and even provided an impressive light-show for the beach. We also had some unusual and obscure music requests, but DJPTK had them all lined up and ready to go and played them at the perfect moments. Wedding planning is super stressful and I'm really grateful for the way he made his part of things totally stress free for us - he always responded to messages within minutes, was always willing to accommodate our changing plans, was really generous in working with us to find a price that fit our budget, and was always ready and willing to do whatever it took to help our vision come together. For example, it turned out we had to move the reception party further down the beach at the very last minute but Paul didn't even bat an eye - he just adjusted and made it happen. It was such a relief having someone there who was committed to making everything work no matter what. Overall, it was an awesome party, a totally stress free experience, fantastic value for the money, and most of all you could really tell that this wasn't just a job for him, he actually cared about making our day special and fun. He wanted to understand our vibe (from exiting the ceremony to Ja Rule to playing anime theme songs at the reception) and really worked to make sure it wasn't just some generic party - it was our party. Couldn't be happier with the result, I had an absolute blast and the whole thing felt so "us". 10/10 would recommend, and would hire him again in a heartbeat. An absolutely fantastic experience

We had DJ Doug on for our after party, 10-12 and he preemptively asked us for a list of songs we wanted to play, had a system to input those songs for his usage, and was diligent about the process (no requests, lighting, etc). I would recommend him 100%. Thanks so much for the best night of our lives!

They problem solved when the location presented access challenges and got four tents (one large hex and three 20x20) set-up in half of the time we expected. Darren and his team were friendly, hardworking, and professional. They even lent us their ladder for decorating when they noticed that we didn't have one. Hiring Victoria Party Rentals was one of the best decisions we made for this event! We had over 200 people attend the dinner and countless guests remarked after about how much fun they had in such a beautiful setting.

I am so, SO glad we found him. He fit us in for a consult that same week, and he was great to work with. When we said, "Uhhh... we don't really have strong music preferences... at all," I was worried he wouldn't know what to do with us, but he easily figured out what we were going for, and he played the perfect mix of songs. He also did all the setup for our friend who played guitar and sang for our processional, and it sounded amazing. We achieved our goal of getting people to dance at our brunch wedding, and there's no way we could've done it without Mike. People are still thanking us for how much fun they had, and Mike was a HUGE part of that. I can't say enough good things about him.

They happily took down my contact info and my visa/debit number - stating that if I DID take off with the 50 glasses, and it didn't work, they'd track me down over the phone. Honor system... I like it! The catalogue is decent, the prices are fair and there isn't a return "time" (I have been nailed with before 9am return times... they are not pleasant) - really, what more do you want with an event rental place? Bonus points: they sell some of their old stock at insanely good prices, so if you see a little woman carting 100 martini glasses around Victoria next weekend... you'll know why.
