From the moment I mentioned having a wedding planner to this DJ, it was a battle. I gave him a copy of the timeline written by the wedding planner to which he reacted by slapping his hand on the paper exclaiming "this is all wrong"! Eventually and after a few "discussions" it appeared he had accepted his role as a DJ and not the wedding planner but that was the calm before the storm. First at the reception it appeared he did not care about anything other than his own schedule. David Daniel started by botching up the wedding party names and announcing everyone out of order. We shrugged this off joking that he must be taking advantage of the open bar but the rest of the night proved his absence of professionalism, lack of organization and indifferent manner were obvious. He followed a timeline written by himself and entirely disregarded the timeline we and all other vendors were given by the wedding planner. Because he took it upon himself to ignore the timeline and go by his own agenda, many important moments were lost. Significant events like the cake cutting, garter toss and special slide shows were missed by many family members because he was not following the agreed timeline but instead following his own itinerary which he never bothered to share. One point he bragged at our first meeting was he would make sure all key people would be gathered for important photo opportunities BEFORE they happened. This did NOT happen at all! He made ABRUPT announcements giving no consideration who was present. In addition, he was asked repeatedly to make announcements such as reminding guest to sign in, help themselves to the candy buffet and take home cupcakes. Not once did he make any announcements we asked for, even when asked repeatedly. Through the evening he totally ignored request by the guest and played NO songs from the Bride's provided playlist. He actually played songs the bride had crossed out to NOT play. As the night progressed our reception went downhill. Our guest moved the dancing outside to a patio area and plugged in a phone because the DJ would not take request. His responses were "the songs are inappropriate" or "my Wi-Fi is not working". I heard the request being made, they were not inappropriate and most popular radio songs have clean versions. (a DJ should know this?) The Wi-Fi was working on everyone else's devices but he still would not allow us to plug in to his system. This DJ started shutting down roughly 2 hrs. early without my consent. To this he will say the wedding planner told him to wind down starting a 930 but at what point did major decisions such as that get taken from my hands? Was the wedding planner paying him or was I? I never never agreed to that! I know he will reply with answers that will be very convincing but keep this question in mind. What DJ takes the order of events into his own hands when he was clearly instructed otherwise and also closes a reception down when HE wants? Is your wedding worth hiring this guy who is more expensive, has bad reviews and undermined my wedding planner to ruin our reception? The only person who ultimately paid the price was the bride by not having family around for special moments and having her reception party brought to an abrupt halt. You can get a far superior DJ at a much lower price especially since he had it on auto play a large part of the night. Don't fall for his ex-military spiel either. He likes to talk up the fact he is ex-military that gives a discount when actually he charged us more than his normal rate. One last thing to check prior to considering him for your DJ is speak with your venues before hiring him. There is a chance he may actually be banned due to his behavior and so many unhappy clients. Venues do not like working with vendors like him that ruin one of the biggest days of a woman's life. I should have read reviews prior to employing him and been warned by the horrible experiences 3 of my vendors had with him. This is not the case of getting your money's worth by hiring the most expensive DJ, he was just an overpriced disappointment. No David Daniels I do not want to discuss this with you, I hope to never run into you ever again! You took great pleasure in ruining my daughters reception. You gave a horrible experience and I hope this review prohibits you from ruining any future weddings. read more

BUYER BEWARE--- Buyers beware of the Disc Jockey (Master of Ceremonies) services of Daniel David. As the bride working with him was the only negative experience of my wedding. It is completely unacceptable to threaten to quit minutes before the wedding rehearsal and think the couple would be satisfied with the services rendered. I actually had a member of the wedding rehearsal call up her friend that is a DJ (wish I know have known that information earlier) and have them on-call in case Daniel quit or did not show up. The fact that I was actually worried about that as a possibility couldn't be sadder. Lack of his preparation had created a disagreement between us about five days before the wedding as Daniel informed me (the bride) that he had not completed the agreed upon tasks due to being busy with other weddings. Who says that to a bride?!? To which I told him that he should not have over-extended himself. I was paying way too much money ($1200) for Daniel to give me excuses for why he wasn't going to be prepared. Daniel was highly upset by my straight-forward, simply statement of overextending himself and that he had never been so insulted in his life. I was baffled that he was getting mad at me instead of working to improve my opinion of his abilities! That is when we got into an argument (while my wedding party and pastor were showing up for the rehearsal) when he threaten to quit. Turns out he informed us the voice recordings of our messages to each other that were supposed to be incorporated into the first dance did not record well and may not be able to be used. This should be been done far in advance to ensure proper recording and audio quality. Instead, it was brushed off until the night before so at the rehearsal the groom had to re-record his (without the proper written material he had prepared in advance) and the bride was up until 1:30pm the night before the wedding trying to record her portion again. I should have NEVER had to wonder about that getting done as we had recorded our portions weeks prior. If there had been a problem we should have been notified before the wedding rehearsal. Instead, blamed was placed on groom for not holding the phone properly, when Daniel was in the room with him and should of corrected him if that were a problem. I still have no idea why he had a problem with my recording. Daniel's attitude during the rehearsal was TERRIBLE and done of my wedding party enjoyed that experience, to the point one member wrote a negative review without my knowledge, but I fully support her view. I am posting this review so other couples can avoid the same unpleasant working conditions that my husband and I endured. I will admit that I enjoyed the actual wedding because I was overjoyed to getting married and I was not going to let a DJ conflict ruin the most important day of my life. His performance at the wedding was better than I expected after the disaster of the wedding rehearsal so I was relieved. I did have to ignore the fact that Daniel chose to play none of the songs I requested on my playlist that I spent hours making to give him a selection of songs we liked, the fact that Daniel replayed a couple songs, or he had loud feedback noise when my singer was performing during the actual wedding. Lastly, I will conclude with reiterating how unprofessional it is to threaten to quit at the wedding rehearsal because you were so offended that I dare tell you in a professional manner that I felt you overextended yourself and did not prepare my materials in a timely manner. Last minute and with a BAD ATTITUDE is no way to conduct a business, especially when it is the joyous occasion of a wedding. You did not give us a "special moment and reduce stress" as promised, in fact I feel Daniel was the threat of harm to my special moment and caused me more stress than anything during my wedding time. The only thing I would change about my wedding would be using another DJ. Daniel supposedly had a back money guarantee (if you requested your money back within 14 days) which I did not because couples are so busy after they first get married. In addition, I did not want to have further contact with him. I was trying to focus on how wonderful it felt to marry my best friend. It took me 3 months to write Daniel about how disappointed I was in his services. Of course, I got no money back at that point. However, I could not write about the experience until now. In the initial consultation Daniel promised to "reduce stress" and instead he directly caused my stress to grow ten-fold. By the way, I should have been super easy to work with as I had a laid back approach to the wedding; my flowers came from Kroger instead of a florist, I had a friend do my hair, etc. The last thing I wanted was to be stressed and Daniel was my only source of major stress. Beware if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding! read more

This guy ruined my daughters wedding!!! He fought with my wedding planner and refused to follow the timeline, play requested songs and shut down earlier than the contract agreed. Do yourself a favor and get a DJ that listens and does not cost a small fortune. Don't risk this important day! There are a ton of DJs in Lexington that are much more professional and pleasant to work with. If you do hire him be prepared since you will be expected to read a huge wedding reception book, fill out an extensive questionnaire, and go through an outdated songlist only to have him ignore it at the reception. Brides Beware!!!!!! read more

I am writing this for a friend's wedding. Daniel showed up at the rehearsal to go over final arrangements. He didn't prepare a previously discussed audio clip of the bride and group, and said it was because he ran out of time working on other weddings. When my friend, the bride, questioned his professionalism and over booking, Daniel stated he didn't feel respected and threatened to not even show up for the wedding and would write out a check to return the money! After knowing the set up for the wedding (he was at the entire rehersal), he decided to set up an 8x6 area with his things where the groomsmen were supposed to stand! During the reception, he did a fairly good job coordinating (his package included DJ and coordinating). The special touches he incoorporated were really nice and guests seem to have a great time. However, whenever anyone asked him a question, he'd give a sarcastic answer or excuse. A lack of professionalism, smart aleck, and threatened to not even show up...he's not worth the special touches. read more
