What an incredible experience! As a wedding planner, I know that having the right DJ is really the backbone of the party. DJ Von sure took that job to heart! Absolutely amazing and professional. Can't wait to work with him again! read more

If I could say "absolutely 1000% yes" to "Do you recommend this business?" I'd click it immediately. DJ Von Woo is truly the best in the biz. He DJ'd our whole wedding evening, from cocktail hour to dinner to speeches and toasts and til the night ended. He is so organized and spent so much time with us to listen to what we needed and curated an incredible set. He also tailored his music to how the crowd was grooving and kept the energy going for HOURS. He even recommended an amazing second DJ to do the late night bass and electronic music (AND lasers). He has seen it all, done it all, and made it the most memorable evening. If you're looking for someone to help you relax and enjoy your evening, for someone to take care of you and your guests, look no further. read more

Vaughn is a legit pro and a consummate professional. He gives you everything you want and nothing you don't. Plus he's a good dude as well. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Hire him with confidence! read more

Agree with everything the prior reviewers have said - Vaughn is incredibly competent, professional, fun, and will give you everything you're looking for in your wedding or event. Vaughn DJ'd perfectly for 2 nights in our wedding, and also helped out a ton with the ceremony, even going above and beyond to deal with some last minute requests. The planning process was super easy - he did a perfect job of learning about our tastes but also reading the room and using his skills to keep the party going. Highly recommend! read more

DJ Von was amazing! He kept our wedding after party going until 1:30am and played such FUN music. Throughout the entire process, Vaughn was communicative - he asked our preferences early, took into account any playlists we shared, and hopped onto a call the week before to finalize our requests. He did a great job of playing music based on the crowd and knew exactly when to change songs based on the vibe and energy in the room. Best wedding DJ we could ask for! We've been to a bunch of weddings and I can say unbiased that DJ Von was the best we've experienced. Highly recommend - he is professional, kind and fun! read more

Vaughn was DJ at our wedding and it was a blast! From the beginning, he was friendly, professional, calm, had a clear process, and was really good at his job (at the ceremony and reception) -- these are all characteristics you want from the people helping you at your wedding. All our guests had a blast and we got several comments on how good the music was. Don't think too hard about it, get DJ Von to handle your event, it'll be great. read more

My lovely wife and I had Von DJ our wedding and he was seriously amazing! My wife works in the event industry and had seen Von at work a few times before, and immediately thought of him when we were looking for a DJ. Not that I don't trust her, but I wanted to do a little research, and after listening to 5 minutes of his soundcloud I could tell he was really talented. He has a diverse and vast knowledge of music, and was super helpful in the planning/lead up to the wedding. He even took a kinda 'tinny' YouTube audio song and did some magic to make it sound way more high quality for the processional song. He was amazing at reading a room, and did an amazing job with pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner music, and the all-important dance party. Beyond being a seriously talented DJ, he's also a wonderful person and was great to have around our wedding. He showed up real early to make sure everything was setup and was an overall calming/positive force. Really don't know what else to say, he's a great choice for DJing any event you have! He's obviously been in the music scene for a long time and loves music, but doesn't have any ego that sometimes comes along with being a talented artist. Perfect blend of good person, professionalism, and talent! I don't write many reviews but definitely wanted to do something for Von since we're so thankful of the amazing job he did for us! read more

I cannot recommend DJ Von highly enough - he is amazing! After extensive research, I can say without a doubt that he is the best DJ out there. Not only does he know how to get - and keep - people on the dance floor, but he is extremely knowledgeable and was able to ensure that all sound and music throughout our entire wedding day was executed flawlessly. As our wedding was a mix of Turkish and California cultures, we had quite a few particular needs - between a mix of American/Turkish/European music, adding live percussion to DJ Von's set, and the coordination of a live band for our ceremony - DJ Von stepped up and ran point on everything and there was not one hiccup. He was always able to meet over the phone to discuss our music selections, add input, advise against missteps, honestly, we were high maintenance and he was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. The dance floor was packed the entire night.....I have never seen anything like it. Music and dancing was extremely important to us, and my husband and I (and our guests) did not leave the dance floor - literally. DJ Von exceeded every expectation we had. Trust me, if you're particular about music you need to book DJ Von. You will not be disappointed. Now, I just need to find an excuse for a party so I can hire him again! read more

HOLY CRAP. DJ Von is seriously amazing. He is, hands down, the best DJ we have ever heard - at any event, wedding, club - and we were lucky enough to have him at our wedding!! We ended up having him spin for almost 7 hours!!! 1.5 hours for the cocktail party, and 5+ hours for the reception. There was literally NEVER a dull moment, and once we opened the dance floor, it was never empty. We had an awesome but strange blend of a play list (its hard to please everyone from 1 - 80 years old, from all over the world... we had over 200 people), which included country for the rednecks, rock, hip-hop/pop/r&b, and everything in between. Von seamlessly flowed from one genre to another, reading the crowd, and always keeping the party going. Seriously, people could not stop talking about him. I want to get married again just to have another dance party. AND to top it off, he's super chill and laid back, and a pleasure to work with! Definitely 100% recommend!!

Hands down best wedding DJ ever. I should clarify, Von is not going to be your typical wedding DJ (a la Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer), but if you actually want a DJ who can spin, read the crowd and incorporate exactly the kind of music you want at exactly the right time, then he is your man. Von was an absolute delight to work with prior to the wedding, at the wedding, and even after. He was even so kind as to offer to recreate the set he spun for us so that we could save it and listen to it for years to come!!! I don't know anyone else who has had such an amazing DJ and i will be recommending him to all my friends getting married in the future. read more

Von was such a great DJ and was really helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. He has a lot of experience with weddings and events and was able to provide us with some tips and guidelines to make sure things ran smoothly. I would even say he was more helpful than our wedding planner!! We were planning our wedding from New York, so you can imagine there were a lot of 'blind planning' involved. I loved that Von really wanted to get to know both me and my husband to really understand both of our musical tastes - because it's night and day!! lol With differing music tastes, I was worried it wouldn't flow very well together, but he made everything work and even offered suggestions, which was really helpful. We had our ceremony outdoors, above the cliffs, and I was really worried about the sound quality. I cannot emphasize enough how much Von put my mind at ease when he found out all the details from the venue to make sure the music would be loud enough for everyone to hear. He is also very knowledgable about mics, speakers and such that I did not have to worry about any of it. When the day came, everything was perfect and all our guests loved the music!! :) He also knows how to read the crowd, and everyone had a really good time dancing at the party - even my Mum and Dad got on the dance floor! Thank you Von for all your help and for helping us make our big day wonderful! read more

Vaughn is FANTASTIC! He was super easy to work with, had a very chill vibe, and provided fantastic music for our wedding. Everyone had a great time, and I had so much fun on the dance floor. He has a really great sense of timing, which was incredibly helpful since I knew NOTHING about how to space things out at the wedding. Also, I have to say his prices are way more reasonable than the competition. read more

DJ Von Woo - Our first dance! - DJs Near Me - Petaluma, California

I tell everyone who will listen that DJ Von is hands down the best wedding DJ out there. I've been to weddings where the DJ was a bit intrusive, (on the mic a lot), couldn't read the crowd, and clearly didn't take the time to get to know the couple and their guests. None of this applies to Von. My best friend hired Von for her wedding a year or so before I got engaged. I knew then that there was no way I'd hire anyone else. I don't think I sat down once at her reception, (and I'm usually the type to sit quite a few out). Prior to our wedding Von took the time to get to know me and my husband. He asked us some questions that I didn't really understand at first, like "what year did you and the majority of your guests graduate college," but it became totally clear to me when the dance floor was packed and my guests were dancing like maniacs to songs that we loved in our early 20's. We had a small wedding, (60 or so people), and it can be an awkward party killer if you don't have quite a few people dancing. Von kept my guests dancing up to the very end of our wedding. We have quite possibly the most hilarious photos I've ever seen of my husband and his friends going nuts to one of Von's many perfect song selections. I've had several guests ask me for Von's info after our wedding. I still get inquiries almost a year later. That's the kind of impression he made. Hire him! You won't be disappointed. read more

DJ Von was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was super professional to work with and took the time before our big day to make sure he was going to tailor the music and experience to exactly what my wife and I wanted. Guests came up to my wife and I throughout the evening telling us how great the music selection was. We had all generations dancing throughout our wedding. He simply nailed it! When choosing a DJ on your wedding day its also important to make sure you like that person and will enjoy being around them on one of the most important days of your life. DJ Von is exactly that guy - he has a ton of experience but is also a great guy that made us feel like our day was as important to him as it was to us. I cannot recommend DJ Von highly enough. Look no further and don't forget to ask about extra lighting and what else he can offer. We sprung for the lighting at the last second and Dj Von used it selectively to make it have the best impact. Thank you DJ Von! read more

DJ Von rocked our wedding and the compliments from our guests were full of superlatives. He had everyone dancing, young and old, all night till 2am. He is easy going and wonderful to work with. No superstar hangups even thought he is a superstar. Highly recommended! We are trying to figure out what party we can throw to have him DJ again. He was the highlight of our wedding and we would give him 10 stars if we could. DJ Von - thank you, thank you. Hope to see you soon. Ron and Ashley read more

DJ Von Woo is a dj's favorite dj. He has the musical knowledge of a true crate digger, the showmanship of a true entertainer and is always in-tune with his crowd. A guaranteed floor filler ! read more

DJ Von was FANTASTIC! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding DJ and ceremony/dinner emcee. He met with me on the phone multiple times to get a sense of what I wanted and made sure that he would fit the bill. He offered multiple times to meet me in person or Skype, but I was unable to do either for a variety of reasons. My husband and I planned our wedding from 3,000+ miles away (in Boston for a wedding at Barndiva in Healdsburg, CA) and didn't meet any of the folks doing the ancillary things (flowers, DJ, photographer, etc.) until either the day of, or day before, the wedding. We relied on Yelp and word of mouth from others in the wedding industry. DJ Von was recommended to me by the photographer that we chose who said that he had photographed many weddings at Barndiva and had seen some real flops from a music standpoint including blown speakers and no shows. He said that DJ Von was by far the best he'd seen and gave his top recommendation. Vaughn worked with us on special requests as well. My mom is a DJ, having done many weddings herself (she also thought he was great!), and I wanted to work in her announcing a song or two but not having to DJ the whole wedding. Vaughn seamlessly worked her in at the time that I asked and even called her up a second time to announce another song which made her very happy. We also asked him to play the music and do the transitions for our ceremony - which he did perfectly. He has done many, many weddings and had great recommendations about what works where well for the ceremony and reception but was open to whatever I wanted to do. He has a very informative website that highlights samples of his work. If you don't find what you like there, however, I have no doubt that he can tailor something to fit your needs. While my personal taste is along the lines of many of the samples, he was good about incorporating more things that appeal to a variety of ages and music tastes - it was a wedding, after all! As requested, he also avoided all things that fall into the category of "bad wedding DJ." Finally, his rates seemed very reasonable to me and I can't imagine finding a decent band for anywhere close to what we paid. He also let us add on time the night of to extend the reception - a huge plus in my book. The party was still going strong with lots of dancing at the time we had originally planned to stop and it was great to hang out and dance with our friends and loved ones as long as we liked. Overally, I'd give him a 5/5 and would absolutely recommend him to a friend for their wedding. read more

DJ Von is a PRO! Was at an event where DJ Von was spinning records and handling announcements and such and was just super impressed with how he carried himself. Not only was the music he chose to play hip ad relevant, we was very professional at MC'ing the event when introducing speeches, dances and transitions. He even set - up and facilitated the photo booth section which i though was great too. Overall, top notch quality and would certainly recommend highly. read more

DJ Von Woo is the fantastic! As the Event Sales Direcor at the Clubhouse at Peaocck Gap I cannot tell you how many happy clients I have becuase of his skills. He is always a pleasure to work wiht, and he always keeps the party going. I am happy to have him as one of our Highly Recommended vendors. read more

This is so overdue.... Not only is DJ Von a talented artist, but he goes above and beyond what you'd expect from any other DJ. When it came to the music at our wedding, we've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests - of ALL ages (7 - 70 years old, really). Thank you, Vaughn, for keeping the dance party going throughout our entire reception - not a dull moment on the dance floor. read more

Von DJ'd our Friday night wedding in Walnut Creek for ~125 guests. We'd give him more stars if we could! He did a fantastic job with setting up sound systems for multiple sites, running the reception, and getting people on the dance floor. He was very easy to work with, and was willing to play whatever we wanted. The wedding was on a Friday night, but even though people were tired his music kept the dance floor moving. He did a great job as an MC as well, making just the right announcements so that our guests were aware of what was happening, but he didn't go overboard with talking or jokes, which we really appreciated. He was very professional and friendly throughout the night. He was also easy to work with beforehand and very helpful as we planned music selections for both the ceremony and the reception. read more

We worked with DJ Von (Vaughn) for our April 2016 wedding at the Berkeley City Club in Berkeley, CA. Vaughn provided a number of services, including MC and music for the reception, ceremony sound, and some reception lighting. Vaughn was great to work with and did a phenomenal job -- we highly recommend him! We first reached out to Vaughn after our day-of coordinator (They So Loved Events) gave him a glowing recommendation; the fun mixes he has online also helped. The planning process was pretty painless and was mostly handled by email. We also had a video chat, which was a great way to get to know Vaughn before our big day and to help him get a feel for the types of music we were interested in for dinner and dancing. We also traded playlists and requests/ideas back and forth, which was helpful since we had some strong music opinions. Vaughn did a wonderful job on our wedding day. Everything was set up and worked without a hitch: ceremony sound (incl. multiple mics and my brother-in-law's guitar), reception sound, and lighting. He had great attention to detail, and the up lights and dance lights he set up really added to the space and atmosphere for our reception without being too over the top, which was important to us. Vaughn was also a great MC, helping introduce people and moving the evening along, and he was a calm and happy presence the few times we spoke with him. And perhaps most importantly, the music for dinner and dancing was a great! A lot of what Vaughn played was music we specifically requested ahead of time, but he also did a good job of picking songs that fit with our taste and worked well with the crowd. And it was all a big hit! The dancing held strong from the moment it started until the end of the night. What a great time. DJ Von is a great person and a wonderful wedding DJ. We're really glad we decided to work with him for our big day! read more

See all

I just had my wedding with DJ Von on 9/5/15 and I can't say this enough, he was the absolute best wedding DJ ever. Our number one goal for our reception was to get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there and DJ Von did just that. He knows how to read the crowd and play the right music at the right time. His MC-ing is super casual and flows incredibly well with the event. He was extremely helpful during the planning process, very responsive, and made the entire experience so easy. His music selection was perfect - great mix of oldies, trendy music, and a lot of awesome remixes. I highly recommend working with him - it'll be one of the best decisions you make while planning your event or wedding. read more

Von Woo DJ'd our wedding last month and he was the hit of the reception. The music was spot on, he kept the schedule flowing and nobody was ready to leave when the facility made us cut the juice! Von did a great job communicating with us before the event, was able to track down all of our song requests and even brought a wireless speaker for the indoor part of our reception so nobody missed a thing. A BIG recommendation for sure. read more

DJ Von did our wedding in July 2014 and he was by far our favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding. From start to finish DJ Von was really easy and efficient to work with. DJ Von really nailed exactly what we were looking for in terms of music and managed to fit in all our requests, even with a shortened timeline for dancing. Everyone has commented on what a great job he did and we couldn't have been happier. We'd recommend DJ Von to anyone looking for a fantastic experience. read more

If you LOVE music and care about the mix at your event then DJ Von is the only DJ for you. He not only is down to earth and kind, but absolutely a power house at the DJ stand. I loved talking to Vaughn about music, he asked just the right questions so that we knew he was going to play what we wanted at our wedding. Vaughn travelled for our event and had two fantastic set-ups to provide music and a sound system at an outdoor venue. I was totally impressed with the good quality of the sound for the outdoor ceremony and dinner. Then the dance party was indoors and he rocked the playlist. I was a dancing/sweaty bride all night! It was the best and I hope I have an excuse to have another party where I can hire DJ Von again!! Thank you Vaughn and thank you to Moira with parties! parties! parties! for recommending Vaughn!! read more

We've hired Vaughn twice now and we've been so happy. He is really the perfect DJ to hire for a party because he has such a great presence and totally knows his stuff. It was almost like he was psychic: We gave him a little direction on what to play and he nailed it. We couldn't have been more pleased. When you bring some one in to work at a party you're having - it's nice to have a personality fit too, and that's another thing we liked so much about Vaughn. He is such a nice guy, knows what he's doing and is extremely pleasant, aware and easy to have around. Very highly recommended. read more

I can't say enough great things about DJ Von! He was our wedding DJ a few weeks ago and was the best fit. What I loved was that right from the get go when you start communicating with Vaughn, he is very honest about who he is as a DJ and what he does. He takes an interest not just in playing music for your event, but instead getting to know you and create your "soundtrack." That is exactly what it felt like from the beginning to the end - he set the right mood and found a way to please the crowd AND make it so us! He was an absolute joy to work with - so kind, caring, professional, and fun! I would recommend him over and over again for any event... but especially a wedding!!! read more

DJ Von did our wedding in June 2014 and he was great and really easy to work with. He totally respected our play list and significant moments and then added some of his own music later to keep the temp going. this made our night relaxed, easy and seamless. From start to finish DJ Von was really easy and efficient to work with. The best recommendation i can give is that he had 100% of our wedding on the dance floor. We'd recommend DJ Von to anyone looking for a fantastic experience. read more

DJ Von Woo, was our wedding DJ, and spoiler alert: He killed it. Start to finish top notch service. He was great in upfront communication via email, and ultimately ended up meeting us for a first time consultation visit. He instantly "got it" and understood the type of wedding we were looking for. Leading up to the wedding Von, was great with helping us pick our music and giving us some ideas. He gave example lists to get the creative juices flowing. Day of wedding completely on time, was setup, and needed zero oversight. He really knew his stuff about mics, and was able to help us understand how to get the best sound quality out of our ceremony. The actual ceremony itself went off without a hiccup. Perfect quality. During dinner, had awesome play list. Used our initial list of music, but honestly we were not that prescriptive in what we wanted. Generally told him what we liked and he took it from there. Our table kept saying how much they enjoyed the music. Quickly on the dancing, he nailed all the first songs, and ceremony type stuff. He isn't a "hype man" and that's not what we wanted. He talked only when he needed to help usher the groups around and made sure the attention was on the bride (like it should be) and groom. Dance music started off solid and got more aggressive as the night got later and the old folks went to bed. Long story short, hes awesome. Highly recommend him, and please grab him before his schedule fills up. Reach to me with any questions. read more

Von is not your typical wedding DJ who just plays song after song. Von has a real skill and talent for mixing songs and keeping the party going non stop. Recently he DJ'd our wedding and guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing and how DJ Von Woo was awesome. He played music in a way where all age groups felt intrigued to get down and boogie! DJ Von Woo is talented, organized and really made our wedding special. I highly recommend DJ Von Woo! read more

DJ Von Woo is amazing. There really aren't words to describe how satisfied my wife and I were with his performance at our wedding, not to mention how much our guests loved him too. At the end of the night, we had guests going up to him and begging him to stay longer. He read the crowd perfectly, he literally had every person on the dance floor at one point or another, and there was not a time that the floor was empty the entire night. He kept the party going, transitioned into scheduled events like cake cutting, toasts, etc., flawlessly, and even gave some great advice on things to do in the area during our honeymoon. I don't think we could have asked for more; hands down the best entertainer I've ever worked with. read more
