    DJ Dan was very responsive and professional. He arrived at the venue early, was set up quickly, and…read moredid a great job as an MC. His rates are fair and he made sure that we were well-prepared leading up the reception. Highly recommended!

    We're very surprised by these 5 star reviews because we did not have a good experience with…read moreDan/Party Down DJ. We first met Dan over a Zoom call in October to discuss DJ'ing our wedding in August. He seemed great at first and had 5 star reviews so we decided to book him. After signing the contract and paying the deposit, things started to get a little disorganized. First, the deposit receipt showed someone else's name on it. We had not received any communication from Dan clarifying the mix-up or confirming he indeed received our deposit, so we had to send him a follow-up on that. Then, fast forward to a couple weeks before our wedding and he asked for our meeting availability to check-in before our wedding. He shared a few days he had available, and we responded with our availability right away. A few days passed and no response. Then a week passed and still no response. It was the Monday before our wedding that we started to go into panic mode. We were getting concerned that we hadn't heard from Dan about securing a meeting date, especially given that we were less than a week before our wedding. We thought he was ghosting us or that something had happened to him that made him unavailable. Monday morning, we texted Dan asking if he had seen our emails. No response. A few hours later we call him as a final contact attempt - still no answer. We ultimately had to make the decision to cut ties and scramble to hire a new DJ since Dan wasn't responding. Since we were only 5 days from our wedding, we expectedly didn't have much hope we could secure a plan B in time. After we booked our new DJ, Dan finally texted back (many hours later) saying he was on a camping trip with no cell reception and that he dropped the ball by not responding to our previous contact attempts. What didn't make sense to us was that he offered meeting availability on dates that he was supposedly out of town. Overall, we would have understood if we knew he was going to be on vacation (with no cell/email service) ahead of time, but it was cutting way too close to our wedding. We panicked and felt like we were essentially forced to find a new DJ as we didn't know when or if we would hear back. He knew our wedding was coming up, and yet all we got leading up to it was silence. It takes 30 seconds to send a quick email to your clients letting them know you might be slow to respond over the next week - that would've saved us a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. The lack of communication in general, especially so close to our wedding date, was completely unprofessional. If you're considering Party Down DJs/Dan, this is a warning to read over his contract thoroughly. His contracts are written deliberately so that you will be on the hook regardless - even if you're put in a position like us where you're forced to cancel and find someone else.
