Our DJ at Deer Park Villa was DJ Jason and he made our reception incredible. The handoff from our live ceremony performers into his sets was seamless, and his intros and timeline cues throughout the night were spot-on. He read the room so well. Our dance floor was one of the absolute highlights of the evening. One moment stood out: there was a mix-up with our first-dance song file and the wrong version played at first. He adapted immediately, and once the correct file reached him that same night, he made sure we got to finish our dance the way we'd planned. read more

they created the most beautiful vibe for my event lighting. Sound music I highly recommend for anyone that wants to do an upscale event of any kind, corporate or wedding. Mine was an offsite after party. read more

David was our DJ for our wedding at St. Francis Vineyard and he provided the most fun and enjoyable experience. Meeting with us beforehand to discuss our music preferences for the event was very helpful. We were able to review what songs we wanted for our intro, cake cutting, dances and final song. He reviewed everything briefly with us the day of the event and after that he took over. The cocktail hour and dinner music selections were perfect and enjoyed by all of our friends and family. When we moved to the dancing time, he played everything we asked for and more. Our friends did not want to leave the floor. He was so nice and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for any special event. Please see attached image for how much our friends and family were enjoying the music! read more

David was so great for our wedding! He went above and beyond to make sure that everything was organized, the schedule flowed, and the music was amazing! He was so nice and all of our guests thought he was wonderful! Thank you Runaway DJ for making our day amazing! read more

Hiring runaway DJ played a huge part in our wedding day being the best (and smoothest) day ever! We first had our consult with David, who was super flexible on what and day we could meet. He got our initial vibe, asked us good questions, and made us feel like we were moving in the right direction. Then, a week before our wedding, we had our final call with DJ Carlos who is the BEST! He took an hour with my husband and I to go over our wishlists, day of timeline, announcements, etc. And then on the big day, he brought the vibes, was the ultimate MC, and made sure that he announced certain things that we wanted announced in a specific way was done! He even took some videos from our ceremony and sent them over to us which was so kind :) he really brought the dance floor alive, everything was so well paced, and he played almost all of our must plays, and then some! David and Carlos, thank you so much for contributing to the success that was our wedding, and for helping us throw the best party ever. Cheers! read more

Dom was our wedding DJ at Deer Park Villa and he was awesome!! He easily handled all our song requests, from the processional to the last dance. I surprised my groom by singing a song and he perfectly kept it a secret, and it was a magical moment. We also had a guest who we knew wanted to do a special dance (long story haha) and Dom handled his *NSYNC medley on the fly like a pro! The dance floor was a blast all night long and the lighting was the icing on the wedding cake ;) Thanks Dom! read more

If you don't book Runaway DJ for your wedding, you've made a mistake. My wife and I wanted a lot of high-energy dancing at our reception, and DJ Jonathan absolutely delivered. EVERYTHING he did at our wedding was perfect. Communication in advance, and on the day, was clear and smooth. All of the music he chose during the welcome, cocktail hour, and dinner was spot-on and fit our vibe perfectly. He made things easy for the readers at our ceremony and our family members giving toasts at our reception. But the dance floor was really the standout, and Jonathan made it the highlight of our entire wedding. He hit all of our must-plays, but he seemed to know EXACTLY when to play each one based on the energy of the floor and the timing of the night. We had 3 hours of dancing, and my wife and I were on the floor the entire time--we literally couldn't leave, the music was so good. Our friends and family have not stopped talking about how great the dance floor was since the wedding. We are so appreciative of the ease and responsiveness of service of Runaway DJ in advance of our big day. Jon and David make the process very clear with their consultations in the weeks and months leading up. All in all, I can't imagine a single thing they could have done differently. Pick them--and if you can, get DJ Jonathan! read more

Runaway DJ is the preferred DJ for our venue, Deer Park Villa. We connected with them, and they were great. David was our assigned DJ, and a few weeks before the wedding when we had our final walk through call, he understood the assignment. He had our toast list and kept the microphone on lockdown (per our request). He guided guests through every part of the night, mic'd up our officiant, and took our inspiration Spotify playlists to make an amazing musical experience. Not only that, he was FUN! So great to talk to, so easy and fun to work with. We loved him! read more

David was our DJ for our wedding and he went above-and-beyond for us. He was very communicative, stuck to the requests we had, and overall amazing. We would definitely recommend him to any of our friends getting married in the future! Thank you so much again David! read more

We wanted to thank Runaway DJ so much for all of your hard work for our wedding. David set an excellent vibe throughout the ceremony, he helped keep things moving, and were so incredible in putting up with all of our unusual av requests to ensure our friends could perform. And on top of all of that he did an excellent job of getting the dance floor started after we had such a chaotic transition over from dinner due to our own running around! We're really so grateful for his expertise, energy, and attitude. I know our wedding would not have been so smooth, memorable, or joyous without him. read more

We got married at Deer Park Villa this summer and their preferred DJ to work with is Runaway DJ. We weren't sure what to expect initially, but we could be more pleased with how the night turned out. DJ Ed from Runaway DJ & Lighting was an absolute joy to work with! He listened to all our requests, which were very specific and sometimes ridiculous. He had a full understanding of our playlist and pretty much played everything that was a must hear, while at the same time being able to pivot based on the crowd's response He made the night about us, which not all DJ's do. Not to mention his attitude was positive and his excitement for all things music was infectious! A true professional. My only critique is I was not a fan of the colorful disco lights on the dance floor - but no one else seemed to care...they were too busy dancing and enjoying themselves : ) Thank you DJ Ed! read more

Runaway DJ was the absolute BEST! Working with David is so easy and helpful. They sent us DJ Armin to host our wedding and he was phenomenal. Armin was such a professional and knew how to keep things moving along at the right pace. Everything from the mic'ing up for the ceremony, the toasts, special dances and party, Armin made it all happen so seamlessly. He was engaging, kind, and most of all he made my bride and I feel like we're the only wedding that has ever mattered to him even though he does many weddings professionally. We didn't feel, in any way, that we were just another gig, but rather the stars of the show. We had a lot of unique songs to be played at certain moments of the event, including a song from a Muppets movie and a specific live version of a Grateful Dead song, as well as a few obscure instrumental versions of popular songs. Armin found all of the songs, listened ahead of time and made sure they were included as special moments in the event. Our guests were never going to be to biggest dancers, but Armin got everyone engaged immediately. There are moments on that dance floor I will always remember. I also want to thank him for playing my parents' wedding song 'Cruisin'. If your looking for a team of professionals that really prioritize YOU on your most special day, Runaway DJ, especially DJ Armin, is the way to go. read more

David was our DJ for our wedding at deer Park Villa he was everything we could've asked for and more. In the months leading up to the event he was in close contact with us to figure out exactly what we wanted for each moment of the event. During the event he was impeccable with regards to both his timing and satisfying our last minute requests. Our wedding would not have been nearly the same if we had not of hired him. David was also critical in the planning of timing events at our wedding. He helped us decide what would be best for our us and our guests and his decisions were on point. Everythinf from timing of songs to timing of speeches to the length of songs, he had it all down. We are so grateful for his services and could not recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a DJ for any special occasion. read more

I love this business. This DJ service is the best. David made it really easy for my wedding day to pick the songs I wanted. We were very generic on the type of music we wanted and we were not too specific on the songs the whole time, just the genres, and David did a great job with the type of music that was played throughout the entire wedding! Definitely recommend Runaway DJ for any type of event! Wish I could have my wedding all over again just to hear the music! read more

We hired Runaway DJ Services for our May 2019 wedding and we couldn't be happier. I worked with Jon and David initially and they were great. They gave me some initial guidance when I booked them in advance which helped with the planning and timeline. They were able to provide additional outdoor speakers for our ceremony and even ordered an omni-directional microphone that our officiant requested, it allowed the 3 of us to share one microphone during the ceremony that picked up all of our voices. For the actual day of the wedding we had Armin perform as our DJ and he was awesome. He played the list of songs that we wanted to hear both during the cocktail reception and the main reception. We had a very specific song for our first dance (we took tango lessons) that you couldn't find in iTunes or the Android store so we emailed him the file and he played it without incident. Armin was great in that he was also the MC for our event, he helped invite people into the reception from the cocktail hour and did a great job of announcing the bridal party's entrance. We also had them provide upgraded uplighting for our dancefloor which looked really nice. Overall I definitely recommend them and would use them again for planning another event. They were very courteous and responsive when we had questions. Thank you, Runaway DJ!!! read more

Jon Moore of J&M Entertainment just DJ'ed my wife's birthday party and he did such an amazing job! He was on time, his sound system was amazing, his lights were out of control, and he did the best job keeping the party going! When the energy level started to fade he would get on the mic and get everyone pumped up instantly! Jon and his crew are timely, professional, and affordable. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Chris was the DJ for our wedding in September 2016. He has been doing weddings for 20 years, and his experience really shines through. I had a relatively small wedding of around 70 guests and I was afraid we wouldn't have a critical mass of people to keep the dancing going. We ended up dancing for almost 3 hours straight because Chris pivoted when the people were slowing down and switched up the tracks to keep the energy up. Everyone keeps telling us they can't believe how much they danced and how great the party was! He really selected a great combination of newer music that kept everyone on the dance floor, and oldies to keep all ages interested! In terms of logistics, Chris was very flexible about coming to the venue early to setup so that he wouldn't get in the way of the ceremony. I also thought that the questionnaire they sent us about what music we liked was well-thought out and incredibly organized, and Chris did a great job of honoring our wishes. I especially appreciated that he stayed away from those obnoxious songs that are popular at every wedding for some reason (chicken dance, anyone?) The only tiny, minuscule complaint I had was that Chris is pretty busy and hard to get in touch with beforehand at times. That being said, as we got closer to the date he came through and executed just perfectly, so it didn't end up being a problem at all. Overall we are very happy with our choice and would definitely recommend him. read more

Runaway DJ was an absolute HIGHLIGHT of our wedding! We were so lucky to work with David as our DJ, and he kept the dance party going until 2AM! I had multiple friends comment on how much they loved the music, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. David was also a delight to work with during the planning process - he was super upbeat, enthusiastic, and responsive. We knew we were in good hands. If you're thinking about booking Runaway for your event, let this be your sign! read more

Jon and David did an amazing job for us at our wedding (May 2012). I actually heard about them through a friend that used them for their wedding when I was first gathering info for DJ's last year. After hearing their name over and over again from different acquaintances I thought "I need to give these guys a chance!"... I'm so happy that I did. Choosing wedding vendors is very hard, for us food was #1 and music was #2. Both of these vendors met our expectations (we used "Out to Lunch" Catering). Each meeting was professional and valuable as Jon walked me through some of the logistical points of planning the wedding that didn't even occur to me. Me an my husband planned our own wedding but it was very helpful to have some pointers with planning a schedule and thinking about how long each wedding "line item" takes. From the end of the ceremony to the cake cutting it is a DJ's job to keep everyone on schedule and basically run the show, I thought that David (our DJ) did that perfectly. Jon and David came out and did a site visit at our property which was helpful and made me feel good that they were as familiar as possible with our site. The days leading up to the wedding David checked in with me and did a little summary of each part of the wedding (this eased my mind and worry). We had not chosen an exit song yet (one to walk down the isle after being married) and David recommended Stevie Wonder's "Sign Sealed & Delivered" and it was a brilliant choice. At that point I could not bear to make one more decision as i was overwhelmed by so many other tasks since my wedding was a day or two away. I was very impressed by the amount of music that they had. Me an my husband love all types of music but we really like electronica (deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Dub Step). I wanted some of this music to be Incorporated with out scaring some of the older guests away. I feel like David did an amazing job of transitioning into some of these song requests. We had grandparents and older guests dancing for hours then as the night got later we had a Barn Fresh Rave. It was epic and the best party of my life! The equipment they was very good and they rocked our 100 year old barn (where we had our reception). I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat if I had another event. To sum it up they get 5 stars for their professionalism, price, music selection, and overall delivery of services. If I could give Runaway DJ's a better score I would! read more

Our wedding was during labor day weekend this year, 2015. We had the pleasure of working with DJ David Craven. From the first meeting to the wedding event David was attentitive, professional and personalized our wedding music for us. We felt completely comfortable leaving many of the song choices up to our DJ after reviewing what genres we were hoping for. I can't explain enough how great David and his team were. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed his work and we all felt he was a fantastic DJ. I would recommend DJ David Craven with Runaway DJs to anyone looking for music at their wedding or whatever type of event they are having. He helped get our guests cheering for our grand entrance and made everyone of all ages comfortable and in the dancing mood. Thank you Runaway DJ company!! -Mike and Andrea read more

When my husband and I attend weddings, he pays a lot of attention to the music played. He has strong opinions about making sure people are having fun but not just playing ONLY the classic wedding songs. So when we were looking for a DJ for our wedding, the stakes were high. We put together a fairly detailed list with must plays, suggested songs, Cocktail hour songs, etc. DJ Ed jumped on the phone with us and was super high energy and enthusiastic about our list of "bangers". We knew he would be great day of, and our guests absolutely loved him. We got so many compliments on our music selections! I was also worried the lighting might be too "middle school dance" so we asked for things to be a bit more subtle. The lighting was perfect! It lit the trees at Vine Hill House without being too much strobe. Overall, our guests and my husband were thrilled--cannot recommend Ed enough! read more

David was such an amazing DJ to work with from start to finish for our wedding! He was so friendly and helpful through the planning process and executed perfectly with the music, MC'ing and reading the tempo of the room! Our guests loved him and the music and he truly made our wedding so memorable. We would highly recommend working with David for any event! read more

My husband and I wanted our reception to be the highlight of our wedding day, so choosing the right DJ to create a fun, energetic atmosphere was really important to us. We interviewed a few DJs and when we met David, the owner of Runaway DJ, we knew we'd found the right company. He was so professional, walked us through all of the options, and helped us come up with a DJ and lighting package that best suited our needs and budget. He assigned DJ Ed to our event and we clicked with him right away. He was so friendly, easy-going, upbeat, really listened to what we wanted, and answered all of our questions. About a week before our wedding we met with Ed again to go over our timeline and list of songs we liked and disliked and he totally got what we were going for. On the day of our wedding he didn't miss a beat. He was such a great MC (so fun and not cheesy at all), played all the songs we liked and none of the ones we didn't, and kept the party going late into the night. Even after people had started to head out, Ed was still full of energy, having a great time in the DJ booth. He even helped us break down the tables and chairs at the end of the night. Our guests raved about the DJ and the lighting they had installed to set the mood. I would highly recommend Runaway DJ for your event! read more

David is simply the BEST. David was the DJ for our wedding earlier this month at Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club; and we had people complimenting his work both that night and after! He really knew how to read the dance floor and everyone had a blast dancing the night away. Even people who don't normally danced spent the whole evening dancing!! We chose to have him provide up lighting along the walls and it really made the difference. He took the room from beautiful to stunning. He has portable DJ booths as well as his main station so we had music and an excellent PA system for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. We also utilized the photo booth option he provides, and it was a huge hit! The props were so fun--that Jason mask was a riot! I knew I was going to get a copy of all the photos, but I didn't realize it was going to be that night! So efficient and fun to be able to see them right away! David's fun, easy going, and knows his business well! Don't bother looking anywhere else for your DJ--David is your man! read more

We chose Runaway DJ to do our wedding and we could not be more pleased. David, the DJ how did our wedding, was FANTASTIC! He did such a great job planning with me how the flow of the wedding would go, he was the glue that held the whole day together, allowing each event to flow beautifully into the next. He was really good with corresponding with me during the wedding planning, either by phone or by email. David did such an amazing job of mixing our play-list choices with other popular songs that really made the dance floor come alive. We also loved the songs he played during the entire wedding. He is great with the mic, great with the guests, we are so pleased with his work! Thank you! read more

David was great to work with and I would highly recommend asking for him or his brother John to be your DJ! Unfortunately the DJ we ended up with for our wedding wasn't great. I'm not sure if he was new or there was a lack of communication. David had us fill out a packet before the wedding for music preferences. While filling it out I wrote down that our guests and ourselves were more into early 2000's or 2010 type music. A lot of us having grown up in the 2000's. Unfortunately music that way played was more from the 80's and early 90's. I appreciate that he was there early and had everything set up on time. Although I wish he would have communicated more with our event coordinator Colleen; as well as read the room and our packet a little better. Everything was about 30-45 minutes behind which unfortunately left my husband and I stressed. I'd recommend the business but not the specific DJ again. read more

I worked with David for our company event in Sonoma in early May. Not only he is professional, he is also very responsive and nice. He came almost 2 hours before the event to set up and his DJ booth set up got his own table which makes it easier. Everything is pretty much portable yet professional. Will definitely recommend his service! read more

We just used these guys for a Deer Park Villa wedding. Top notch!! Dave was so great, used all the songs we requested and picked fantastic songs of his own throughout the night.

He doesn't play "toxic" songs?!? What the heck does that mean?? It doesn't sound good, and if anything, I'm sure "toxic" songs are the ones I probably have the best time dancing to! So, I was a little hesitant about the DJ choice for my brother's wedding. I was the Best Man, and the DJ is generally my duty, but since the wedding was far away, I had to concede this duty to others. AND, IT TOTALLY WORKED OUT. Jon and his crew from J & M were AWESOME! He worked with my brother & "new" sister early on, and this made for an awesome event and party. The wedding was on the beach at Bodega Bay/Doran Beach. The reception afterword was at the Bodega Harbour Yacht Club House on the water. Jon hooked up a PA System on the beach. This was very useful since along with a great day, we also enjoyed some raging onshore Pacific gales. The PA system allowed everyone to hear the ceremony. For dinner at the Club, Jon and his crew were extremely helpful with ensuring a flow to the evening. They had a PA system set up upstairs in the dining area, and also their DJ system and lighting downstairs for the dancing later. Jon served as the MC during the dinner. I was nastily nervous about my Best Man speech, but Jon was pretty good at calming me down and making it easy and not out of place. As for the post-dinner festivities, we had a SLAMMIN' party! Yes, our crew is hella cool, and we know how to rock the house, but Jon and his crew totally helped to make it go down! They played all kinds of music (I didn't have to worry about the lack of "toxic" tunes). Y'know, I can see how it IS hard to DJ for events like this. You have a mixed crowd. You have all kinds of generations to appease, and get out on the dance floor. It's tough, but Jon did what he was supposed to do: help create a fun time! By the end of the night my suit coat was off, my tie went from my neck to around my head, my button-down shirt was stripped off and twirled skyward, and I was on the floor break-dancing. Another momentous night. read more

I am giving Run Away Dj services 1 star, only because you cannot give a business 0 stars. I am going to go into detail into all the aspects that DJ David Craven fell short in Dj'ing our wedding on November 7th in Napa, CA. Preface: We had met with DJ David Craven at his home months before to go over the detail of our wedding and talk about the finer points. My wife and I put extensive amounts of care into picking our wedding DJ. There were emails, excel spread sheets and contracts that explicitly had all details needed for our wedding. This was talked about and reviewed twice on a conference call before the actual wedding weeks before. 1. During the ceremony, there was only one song to be played. No transition! No fade out! No room for error! What actually happened is, when our families, my self, my grooms men and the brides maids walked up a COMPLETELY different song was played that was NEVER talked about, selected or discussed!!! Thankfully when my wife came out he decided to play the right sone. That will be the highlight of our wedding video... Thanks! -How do you make that error unless you have no idea what you are doing and who you are working for???? 2. The time line and schedule was completely ignored. He started announcing things out of order and at wrong times. Toasts, dances, and introductions were made at the wrong times throughout the night. It was great because timing and food arrival times are not important. - Again, did you just ignore the detailed sheet with times and the order that things went in that our wedding planned, my wife and the venue host that was in charge of the wait staff and kitchen all discussed with you??? 3. When introducing people to speak its really best if you don't call the father of the groom by the best man's name... - Broken record, the contract and the excel spread sheet that had all names and who they were and when they would be speaking.. 4. Most of the items above can be ignored if you are able to proved and great night for the guest with music and energy. This was one of the worst aspects of the evening. We filled out a survey months before with music taste and sections of what we liked, didn't like and import song selections.... Again ignored. The DJ besides the bride and groom has the most amount of attention at a wedding. They set the tone and really shape the night by their attitude and ability to read the guests and literally set the stage for a great night. None of this was done. People stated that the wedding was great but we got tired of hearing that the DJ wasn't up to par. What a disappointment! 5. I actually walked up to the DJ at 10:30, 45 minutes before the wedding was scheduled to be over and told him to play the last song because the dance floor was nearly empty. In conclusion, all in all the night was successful because the rest of the staff that picked up the slack for Runaway DJ and worked with his lack of organization and improvised. For that I thank the Mertiage Resort in Napa. As for Runaway DJ and David Craven, I urge you all to keep looking down your list and pass them by. I tried to contact David Craven via email, multiple voice-mails after the wedding to discuss what happened and never heard back. Thats great customer service values that you stand behind. read more

We booked David Craven for our wedding and couldn't be more happier with our decision! Our venue, Trione Vineyards & Winery had Runaway DJ on their recommended vendor list. David was easy going, friendly, and had a fun personality. I had a phone conversation with him before booking and immediately knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. David was responsive and always answered any questions I had. He was organized and sent me all the information I needed for our wedding day. David listened to what we wanted to do with our grand entrance dance and gave great suggestions and recommendations. Everything was really clear on what was going to happen and he made sure every detail was organized. He gave us a detailed list of what songs we liked, did not like and what genres of music we preferred. It really could not get much easier than that! David arrived earlier than planned and made sure everything was running smoothly for our big day. He played most of our songs we wanted to have played during our open dance time frame and knew how to keep the party going! Our guests absolutely loved him! We had music indoors and outdoors and knew how to set up both easily. David provided dance floor lights, which was another plus to when it got dark on the inside of our venue. He was really familiar with our venue which was great! One of my biggest fears was that the dance floor was going to be empty, but this was not the case at our wedding! Everyone loved being on the dance floor and the songs he played were awesome. We wanted a variety and a good mix and he definitely came through with all of it! David is REALLY easy to work with and a great DJ for your wedding! I would highly recommend him to any couple getting married in Sonoma County. You will not be disappointed!!! THANK YOU DAVID FOR BEING OUR DJ! You were amazing!!! read more

David was our wedding DJ in June, and he did an amazing job! From the first time I called their business, and talked/laughed with Jon, I knew Runaway DJs was going to be perfect for us. Jon recommended that David be our DJ because he was more our style. I couldn't agree more! David was awesome! He was extremely helpful and professional, and walked us through the whole process of making sure our wedding was exactly how we wanted it. All of our guests had a wonderful time (young to old) and danced like crazy. Our music ranged from classic R&B/Soul, Hip hop (new and old), reggae, pop and everything else that fit in. David was a part of our family that night and that is completely due to his warmth, passion, and fun-ass attitude. Thank you thank you Runaway DJs! read more

I chose Runaway DJ mostly based on their rave Yelp reviews and I'm adding my review to let everyone know that Yelp was right! Runaway DJ was awsome! I really wanted to walk down the aisle to a specific song and they made sure it was cued absolutely perfectly (as well as our recessional). The sound during our outside ceremony was flawless and everything flowed seamlessly. My husband and I got lots of compliments after the wedding about how much fun people had dancing. A bridesmaid even told us that the bartenders commented on how packed our dance floor was the entire night--they had never seen people have so much fun! Runaway DJ was great at reading our crowd and made sure everyone had the time of their lives. If you aren't sure who to choose for your wedding DJ, (I know it's hard to make all those decisions!), you will not regret Runaway. They are professional, fun, and pay attention to detail (perfect for brides!). read more

Runaway DJ Services deserves more stars! Jon Moore did an amazing job as our DJ at our wedding this past weekend!! From my first phone call with him to our last meeting he was professional, courteous, and really easy to work with. He is a great DJ because he is a great people person. He knows exactly how to read the vibe you would like for your party and then go out and create it. We had our wedding at our house so we were extremely busy up until the last moment preparing our yard and house for guests and did not have time to give him a detailed list of songs we wanted (ie. didn't pick out our "first dance" song, etc). I had to trust that Jon knew what we wanted and would come up with something special and he did. With so many details to keep track of for your wedding, it is invaluable to have great people surrounding you to create an unforgettable event. Thanks Jon for being one of those people! Our wedding was a very personal event to my husband and I, with a lot of our family and friends pitching in to add special details. Jon added to this by setting up special lighting around the dance area, being our MC to announce different events during the night and to keep the energy on the dance floor going until we couldn't dance anymore. Our ceremony and reception were both at our house and Jon played the perfect music throughout the night. He brought our older guests out dancing with the younger ones, started several dance offs, and somehow brought the running man out of my muscle memory - "Go Hammer, go Hammer, Go!" It turned out to be an awesome party and we are still receiving compliments from guests on how fun the music and dancing was. I highly recommend using Runaway DJ Services for your wedding!! read more

I chose Runaway DJ because I had seen them at a few other weddings and loved their energy! They really cater to any style of event and give you exactly what you want. David was my DJ and I absolutely loved working with him! He played all of the music I wanted to hear, stuck to my timeline, and got all of my guests excited to get out on the dance floor. I wanted him to act as the emcee of my wedding, with lots of announcements and such, and he did exactly that. From announcing my husband and I for the first time to announcing the last dance (in a way that actually made people excited and not angry :) ), Runaway DJ was one of the best vendor decisions I made. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to party at their wedding!! Thank you David and Runaway DJ!! read more

We booked Runaway Dj back in October for our wedding on July 18th, 2015. My fiancé took on the task of finding the perfect Dj, and within minutes of his phone conversation with David, he knew he needed to look no further! We kept in touch with David, who gave us all the paperwork to fill out and made an appointment to meet and see the site. We loved him from the moment we met!! He was calm and confident, and at the same time very laid back and go with the flow! We were super happy!! About a week before the wedding, we found out there was a scheduling mix up, and that our Dj was actually going to be Chris. David assured us we would be totally happy with Chris, and set up another appointment to meet at the site with both himself and Chris. If we had any worries about a change in Dj- they were instantly erased the moment we met Chris. Very much like David, he was laid back, calm, confident, and fun! He was super thorough as he looked through our list, and contacted us with an easy to understand breakdown of the day with any remaining questions he had. It was MUCH appreciated! He knew his stuff, and we were happy to have him! All our feelings were confirmed during the wedding- Chris ROCKED it!! Such an amazing Dj. He did a wonderful job, music was spot on, and he made the wedding flow feel smooth and flawless (even though behind the scenes it was crazy!!) :) the music and dancing was definitely the best part. We had such a good time, and would highly, highly recommend Chris for any wedding. We will be recommending for all future weddings we hear of! :) Thank you so much, Runaway Djs! Love, Sarah and Patrick read more

Runaway DJ Services - DJs Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Such a professional and friendly DJ! We used Runaway DJ for our postponed wedding reception and were not disappointed. We were able to select all of the music we wanted and David added music that was on theme as needed (after checking with me- so nice!) Prior to the reception, we had multiple meetings where I told them everything I envisioned- super quick and to the point. Day of, David was super friendly and really attentive to everything we wanted. Our friends had a great time and complimented David immensely! If you're thinking about hiring David, do it! read more

Runaway DJ completely rocked our wedding. Jon and his brother executed everything perfectly and had the perfect blend of our requests and their professional opinion. More than that, Jon is just an awesome guy. He worked with us throughout the process, and was laid back the whole time, which means a lot when it comes to wedding vendors! We got a chance to Skype with Jon before the wedding and really finalize things and I have to say, it was one of the funniest conversations and at the same time put us at ease- even with our wedding one week away! He excited the crowd, he was fun, he interacted with us when needed at the wedding and never disappeared (I know, sounds strange, but our caterer definitely did when we needed the cake cut!). Jon was the best vendor at our wedding, I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! read more

I had one request for my wedding: to have an epic dance party and David fully made that happen! David was super easy to work with and very patient with constant song requests. He read the crowd well and consistently checked in with us throughout the night. So many people commented on how fun our wedding was because we were always on the dance floor! He made my vision of an all-night dance party come to life! I highly recommend! read more
