Terry rocked our backyard wedding and I have to tell you...He was AMAZING. As a DIY and busy bride, I was so relieved and grateful to work with such a patient and kind man. He was amazing. So calm, personable, dressed impeccably. Worked with our caterer for the timeline... But most of all -- I gave Terry some songs and a general idea of the music I wanted and he absolutely nailed the playlist. It was PERFECT. BOOK HIM ASAP! read more

We hired Terry for our wedding and it'll he was incredible, to say the least. So professional, so helpful, and super easy to work with. Most importantly, he crushed it with the music! Everyone had so much fun and danced all night long. Hire this man, stat! read more

Everything! Terry came early for the party to set up, played EXACTLY the kind of music I wanted, and got everyone dancing! I had so much fun and would definitely use him again. Highly recommended! read more

Peter and Terry are excellent DJs who know their craft. they have a pre-wedding meeting to establish expectations & wedding timeline. they have a list of music the client can choose what they like or do not like. very reliable, organized & on time... read more

Spinheads - DJs Near Me

Terry was the perfect DJ for my husband's birthday party. Prior to the event he asked for music preferences to be sure he was creating a music track/choice appropriate for the event. He covered decades of music and several genres. Personable and prompt. He also took requests and created a CD of the music played for all of our guests. We had an indoor/outdoor event at our home. He was present, but unobtrusive to the event. It was a perfect evening. read more

We recently had our wedding and Terry was without a doubt amazing! From our first point of contact with him until the moment he packed everything up...he was a pleasure to work with. He was very communicative throughout the whole process. He provided ideas for songs and was extremely supportive. He was a lot of fun throughout the ceremony and he even snapped some photos during our ceremony and reception and sent them to me. Our guests loved all the music and were dancing throughout the night. He truly catered to us and asked the important questions in terms of 'are there any absolute do not play songs', 'can people come up and request songs', 'can he sprinkle in songs that make sense', etc. Honestly, he wanted to make sure it was perfect for us. That kind of attention to detail and care was appreciated. We highly recommend Terry for your event(s). He is a true professional and ensure you and your guests have an unbelievable time. read more

Terry was amazing! Not only is he reasonably priced for the Bay Area but he also was very easy to work with. He was a great MC and also made sure the night flowed well. At the end of the night he gave us a CD with all of our music on it and it was the best gift. Our guests loved him and he played the best music all night long. We highly recommend him to anyone considering having a large party. Thank you Terry! read more

DJ Terry (and his brother Chris!) are awesome! Terry DJ'ed my brothers wedding, my wedding, and just recently my sisters wedding... Chris DJ'ed my brother-in-law's wedding and we all have nothing but the best things to say about the Spinheads! Highly professional yet easy going and fun to work with...very personable and laid back and more than cool with the typical last minute wedding playlist change ups :) My whole family (+ in-laws!) highly recommend! Thank you Spinheads for making all of our most special wedding days extra special - you guys are great!!! read more

Terry is so easy to work with! He made our wedding so much fun! He's a great communicator and had an awesome music selection. The dance floor was constantly packed. If you're looking for an amazing event DJ, Terry's your guy! read more

DJ Terry did an awesome job for our wedding! He orchestrated everything effectively, played our favorite songs, and helped our guests have a great time. Leading up to the event, he was very responsive and organized, and guided us through what we needed to have a successful event. We're big fans! read more

Terry Cole really did the perfect job at our wedding. He played the music we wanted, read the crowd well, and generally kept the party moving along according to plan. He was just a really professional, affordable DJ. Prior the wedding, we gave Terry a list of a few songs we wanted played, and a general idea of the music we thought people would like--he did the rest, choosing songs based on that information and on what the people at the party were responding to. There wasn't a bad choice the entire night. We got tons of compliments from the guests. An added bonus is that he's a pretty low-key guy, unlike some DJs we've come across, so there was no attempt to sound cool on the mic or be a personality or anything silly like that. We also really appreciated how carefully he listened to us. We'd had two choices for our "first dance" and had to jettison one, so we asked him to play it during dinner, just so we could hear it. Terry actually surprised us and played it at the end of the night as a last dance, which was a very nice touch. Our one concern prior to the wedding was that, because we met with Terry at his apartment, we saw him in t-shirt and shorts and had no idea what he would look like at an actual event. For the wedding (and an event we went to beforehand, just to check him out), Terry wore a black suit with a red tie--classy, understated and professional. We recommend Terry without reservations. read more

Spinheads - DJs Near Me

Terry was the DJ for our wedding on August 11th. He did a great job! We met twice before the event and he helped us figure out the songs for the dances, as well as made helpful suggestions for the music during the dinner and dancing. After the wedding, Terry thoughtfully put together a flash drive with our songs, as well as including a few CDs we could share with our guests and families. We appreciated such a thoughtful gesture! His music choices were great and he incorporated the occasional requests. The timing on songs for the dances was perfect (fading out at the right time). We would recommend the Spinheads and Terry for your event. Terry was a great pleasure to work with! read more

We hired Terry for our October wedding based on a recommendation from our coordinator, and he did an amazing job. We met with him once a couple weeks before the wedding to talk about music, and then sent him a list of songs we loved. He got everybody dancing, even though it was a smaller wedding! The challenge for us was that I'm from the US and my (now) husband is from Mexico, so we wanted a mix of a lot of music styles, including 80s and 90s music, cumbia, mariachi, Beatles... he mixed it up really well and we had compliments on the music afterwards! Terry also went above and beyond with his work when he responded to what we needed very promptly (like when we needed him to sign a contract ASAP for our venue, which we had forgotten about!) and also by keeping the whole wedding on schedule. He acted as our MC and kept things going with our first dance, the cake cutting, toasts -- everything. We didn't have to think about any of that on the day, it was almost like he was our second day-of coordinator! He even popped outside during our photos to let us know how the dinner was going inside, etc. It was relaxed and made the whole wedding less stressful so we could just enjoy. He also handed out CDs of the songs he played at the end of the night, and went around making sure important people got them. That was a nice surprise and something we can keep to remember the day better! read more

Chris DJ'd me and my wife's wedding earlier this month, and he was absolutely fantastic. We're maybe not that typical in that we didn't really have "a song" and struggled to come up with a lot of music suggestions of what to play, fearing we might not share the same tastes as our guests. Not to worry though, as Chris had it all in hand and everyone loved the music he played. He even indulged me and my best man singing an impromptu karaoke song which is best left forgotten, and he handled the night perfectly. He also had great suggestions for our intro/exit songs as well as timing for the night - he kept in contact in the run up to the wedding and we felt confident knowing everything was in hand. Highly recommended. We'd use him again in a heartbeat. read more

This review is coming way too late, but I cannot begin to say how wonderful Terry is! Terry DJ'd our wedding this past June and truly went above and beyond what we ever could have expected. He was so professional and had a great sense of what music to play when to set the mood. We had a quick call with him a month or so before the wedding to talk about what kind of music we wanted for our cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc. and how much he'd be expected to MC, sent him a few playlists of what we typically like, and he was able to hit the nail on the head, setting the perfect vibe for the entire evening. But, aside from how wonderful Terry was as a DJ -- he basically stepped into the role of coordinator when the day of coordinator we'd hired failed to do her own job. At multiple points throughout the evening Terry helped keep things flowing, making sure we stayed on schedule that everyone was where they needed to be and also, that we were all relaxed and having a good time. I CANNOT RECOMMEND A BETTER WEDDING DJ... thanks to Terry a GREAT time was had by all.. he is an all around great guy and does everything he can to ensure everyone is having a great time and enjoying the music!! Thank you so much Terry!!!!! read more

ok, so I came to realize we were an older couple getting married and the audience therefore not the same as all the younger ones reviewing. However, this didn't stop Chris from doing his job well and presenting the songs I had selected months before. He serenaded me on the dance floor with his fabulous voice to boot. I would highly recommend the Spinheads to anyone wanting a D.J. We had an easy communication from the beginning and felt he and his son enjoyed being with us at our celebration.

We had Chris Cole DJ my wedding in Sept of 2017. Chris was all around a fantastic guy and a great DJ. We connected a few times prior to the wedding to get everything set up - and I had a very special line up for him. My bride is El Salvadoran so we had a unique mix of Reggaeton, Latin Cumbia, Salsa, Top 40, Classic Rock and Roll, etc... We gave Chris a short list of recommendations and he really delivered. He was on time for the event, set everything up perfectly, let us use the microphone and his speakers for the actual wedding ceremony, and then blew us away with his energy and dedication to making sure that everyone was dancing and really having a great time. We are big fans and would recommend them for another party! read more

We hired Terry for our wedding and he was wonderful. The mic setup at the ceremony went smoothly, and the music at the reception was exactly what we wanted for our celebration. He was super friendly, responsive, and had every detail down perfectly. He even snapped a few photos of the ceremony that he sent to us right away, so thoughtful! Thanks so much Terry! read more

Three years ago, Peter Haley of the Spinheads was the DJ for our wedding. He did a fantastic job and got all generations out on the dance floor all night long. He worked with us before the wedding to make sure that we had lots of input to ensure we'd hear songs we would enjoy and that we knew our families and friends would enjoy. Afterwards, he gave us a set of cd's with the music from our reception of what he played that night We listened to those cd's this past week during our anniversary and the music brought us back to the great party, and the great job that Peter did. I recommend him for any reception! So, I now embarrassedly write this review, three years later than I should have written it. Peter, thanks for a great job and for all your hard work that night. read more

DJ Terry is wonderful! He did our wedding back in October in Larkspur and it was perfect. Terry is so flexible and easy to work with and fun! Great selection of music and he provided mic for officiant and speeches. He is a full service DJ. He did both my brothers and my sisters weddings several years ago so now DJ Terry has become a bit of a family tradition. Cost is very reasonable. Highly recommend him. Thank you Terry!! read more

As a self-professed music snob and control freak, I was very hesitant to hire a DJ for our wedding in May at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, thinking that we could just have an "ipod reception". Boy am I glad that we didn't go that route... Peter Haley came highly recommended by a friend and I quickly saw why. My husband and I were sure that we wanted to hire him immediately after our first meeting, and we (by we I mean mostly my husband ;) are the annoyingly analytical types that take days to weigh pros & cons before making decisions. :P Peter is clearly passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about the success of the event. And unlike another DJ we interviewed (who shall remain unnamed) that shied away from talking about whether he could play an eclectic selection of indie pop/rock, jazz, classical, and dance music for us, Peter was happy and excited to talk music with us. We spent a lot of time on our first meeting just hanging out and talking about the music that we liked to listen to. We met again about a month before the wedding and he sat down and helped us plan out the entire event schedule, which was really helpful for me and my husband, since we were planning the wedding on our own, without hiring a professional planner. Being very particular about the music, I sent Pete a document full of songs that I wanted for specific parts of the ceremony and reception. He made sure that he got all of them, and then added some of his own music that had the same feel as what I provided. Peter's very comfortable in front of the mic and will help you keep the night flowing, but he will not be "that obnoxious cheesy DJ" and thank god because who wants that? We got lots of compliments from our friends about the music (haha I had something to do with that so thank you very much!) and the DJ. Also, it is important to note that he kept the dance floor going, and we had two distinct and potentially incompatible groups. He decided wisely that the earlier portion of the dancing would be devoted to the older ballroom crowd and then as the evening progressed, he would pick up the energy for the younger folks. We had to make some last minute emergency changes: the slide show had to be shifted later because it was an outdoor reception and the sun set later than anticipated... which ended up also shifting the cake cutting earlier, and then we ended up canceling the bouquet and garter tosses to make more time for dancing. The scheduling changes caused a bit of confusion that can't be helped, but Peter smoothed things over for us, and the night was still a success despite some minor bumps. After the wedding, Peter gave us 6 CD mixes full of music that he used for our wedding, and we still listen to it in the car while fondly remembering our big night. :) If you want a reasonably priced DJ that truly cares about you and your event and is totally receptive to all your quirky ideas and particular tastes in music, Peter is your guy! read more

This review is for Peter Haley of Spinheads. Peter was the DJ for our wedding just this past weekend and he did an amazing job. During the planning process, he was prompt with his emails (which I totally appreciate and unfortunately, cannot say about all of our vendors) and incredibly easy to work with. We met with him several months before the wedding and he was very well-prepared at our meeting with a music list and was really trying to get to know us and what our wedding crowd would be like so he could tailor his music to our wedding. Fast forward to a couple weeks before the wedding. We met with Peter and went over a detailed timeline, song lists, do not play list, etc. Peter had great suggestions for the timeline and the flow of the night, which we incorporated. At the wedding, Peter not only played all of our requests and worked them into the flow of the evening, but our dance floor was pretty much packed the entire night. I remember looking around at one point on the dance floor and thinking how awesome it was that everyone was dancing. Now I will say that planning a wedding was not exactly my idea of fun and that throughout the process, I appreciated professional, courteous, responsive and responsible vendors. Peter was all of these and more. He was a great MC, followed our timeline and requests and was just so great to work with. We received so many compliments on the music -- he really made the night one we will always remember. For all the brides and grooms out there who are looking for a great DJ, Peter is your man. read more

Terry Cole DJed our wedding on July 19 and did an amazing job. He was so thoughtful about the playlist, balancing our musical style and requests with the beats that would keep everyone moving -- and I mean everyone (but especially my new father-in-law). In addition to being a deadly complement to our open bar, he was fantastic at keeping the reception schedule on track. Totally professional, knowledgeable, and friendly... and he even burned us a copy of the playlist at the end of the event. We were totally wowed. On a related note, if you're THINKING about putting an iPod on shuffle for your reception: we did a test run and ended up having horrible upswings and downswings in volume, awkward cut-offs, and weird transitions. Seriously, enjoy your day and leave the details up to the pros... we have no regrets. read more

My sister got married back in July and had Peter Haley DJ the wedding. He was absolutely AMAZING!! He did such a great job with MC'ing everything and making sure things ran smoothly, from the processional to the recessional to the speeches to the first dance to the last dance! It was such a great experience. He worked so well with my sister and brother-in-law, and even hung out with them a couple months before the wedding and had burritos in the Mission (don't ask...). Peter played a perfect playlist for the crowd - he was great at reading the crowd and picking songs that everyone had fun dancing too. He also took requests, which worked out well for everyone. He was a lot of fun, really funny, and really friendly! Everyone who got to talk to him LOVED him. He's a great guy. My fiance and I will be getting married in a couple of years, and will definitely be looking at Peter to DJ if we decide to go with a DJ'ed reception! He also played "California Love" for us. It's not a Bay Area wedding without Tupac. And he delivered. Gotta love a DJ that pulls through. read more

Peter Haley was the DJ at our wedding in November 2008. Of all of our vendors, Peter was hands down everyone's favorite. What a great guy! He couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating during the planning phase... and at the wedding, he kept everyone dancing and happy! If you hire Peter to DJ your event, you will not have to worry at all about the music, the timeline, or your guests having a good time. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Terry was the DJ at our wedding. I can't give him enough compliments. He worked with us from the beginning, was quick with the contract, and just knocked it all out of the park. He was easily able to play West Indian music at our blended wedding, and also play just generally great music that kept the party going throughout the night. There was no downtime and we had the best night ever. To top it off, Terry gave out CDs with the songs from our wedding to our guests. We have heard so many compliments from everyone. Thank you so much for making this an unforgettable night. Terry, you are the best! read more

I usually try to write reviews that veer more towards the sarcastic and (hopefully) humorous. I will dispense with that style for Peter Haley. His talents as a DJ do not deserve that kind of treatment. Peter DJed our wedding on November 7, 2009. He was nothing short of phenomenal. I cannot say it enough. Peter was simply amazing. We met with Peter months before the wedding, and he gave us play lists and a sample schedule to help plan the evening. He took the time to meet with us again about a week prior to the nuptials. We went over every song we wanted and what we didn't. He respected all of our wishes without questions. He made some great suggestions as well. While we were sitting with him, I mentioned a song that he did not have, and he instantly went on Itunes and bought it. No questions asked! The fact that he met with us twice before the wedding meant the world to me because he clearly wanted to understand who we were as a couple and tailor the music to us. He played all of our requests during the dinner hour, and more importantly he did not blast out the guests. He knew how to work the room. He read the crowd perfectly and kept the dancing going all night long. More than one guest commented on how great the DJ was. He also does not engage in cheesy banter. He introduced himself, but let his talent and the music be his voice. He is also a pleasure to work with. The grind of wedding planning and hiring vendors can be very depressing, but Peter was not. He is a genuinely nice guy. He has a very pleasant personality. When he tells you he has a passion for weddings, he means it. We cannot recommend him more highly. read more

This review is for Peter Haley. Peter was the DJ at our wedding in the Presidio's Log Cabin in Sept. '09. Peter was all around amazing and certainly one of the highlights of our wedding. Our wedding was split between two generations and all of our guests continue to comment about the fun and quality of the music. Peter is incredibly nice and easy to work with and didn't have any of the obnoxious tendencies some other DJ's tend to have. Peter has all of his own equipment and arrived on time. We had no issues dealing with him which was one less thing to worry about. I highly recommend Peter and if you're lucky enough to lock him down make sure you and your guests are ready to dance. read more

Peter Haley, a DJ at Spinheads, recently DJ'd our wedding. My husband and I got married at the Great American Music Hall and wanted a young fun vibe to the wedding, but also to be able to accommodate the older more traditional crowd. We met with Peter, who, in all honesty, we weren't sure about, but we had been given his name through a friend. He was absolutely perfect!!! He met with us beforehand and had such great song ideas for both the ceremony and reception. He "got" us right away--we wanted music from Frank Sinatra to Snoop. We wanted him to guide the evening, but not be too obvious. No cheese (no YMCA or chicken dances!). He took just a handful of songs we gave him and created an absolutely perfect playlist based from that. We had all our friends dancing, but also all the older crowd, too--even an 80-year-old grandma. Peter came to our rehearsal (for free!) and made sure he was ready for the night, but also played the music for the ceremony so that our wedding party would know their cues. His fee was TOTALLY reasonable for all he did and he was classy and a complete professional. Our friends and family have all since complimented how smooth he was and he intuited exactly what/how/when to play. My husband and I are in our twenties and were skeptical because we really wanted songs our friends would dance to, but also to have 'adults' out there, too. It was perfect. You can just tell that Peter is super experienced and can read a crowd effortlessly. He knows a ton about weddings and how they should flow. He's also just really nice. My husband and I both highly recommend him!!! read more

The rating-meter above says that 2 is what corresponds to "meh," and "meh" is how I feel. Peter Haley was our DJ for our wedding a couple of weeks ago. He seemed nice enough when we first met with him, and we were originally really happy with our choice. He also told us at the time that he would get in touch with us a couple of weeks before the wedding so that we could meet and go over any last minute requirements/changes of plans. This didn't happen, but that's OK since we were pretty busy anyway, and the email communication seemed OK (although a couple of times we had to ask him the same question more than once since if there was more than one question in an email... he wouldn't answer them all). On the day of the wedding, Peter arrived on time and set everything up well in advance, so definitely some props for that. Nobody wants to be running around on the day of their wedding looking for their DJ. Another positive point: He definitely is not the kind of DJ that has you play stupid party games. No beach ball throwing or any similarly dumb stuff. He plays the music, and does the required minimum of MC-ing. Good stuff. However, the rest of the experience is fairly blah. During dinner my dad asked him to play a fairly sad Hebrew song (and as a compromise, since I didn't want him to play it) my dad asked Peter to only play half of it. He played the whole thing. Not really a big deal. My (music snob) sister asked me during dinner if I asked him to play muzak. When I stared at her in confusion, she made some comments about how this jazz he was playing was terrible. I took it with a grain of salt since she really is a big music snob, so not that huge a deal either. For the first dance, he started the song before we were ready. We had to stop him and ask him to restart it once we were ready. Not really that big a deal either. And, unfortunately, after the first few songs, he really couldn't keep a lot of people on the dance floor. Part of that might be the fact that it was a late-ish evening wedding, part of that might be that we had several very disparate groups of people (Indians who only danced to Indian music, Russians, and mid-20s Americans), and maybe it was hard to kind of unite everyone and get everyone on the floor? However, during the Indian numbers a LOT of people danced, and then when Peter switched to some other stuff, there was a mass floor exodus that he didn't really react to. This was pretty blah. All in all, I'm a tad bummed out with this vendor choice. I hired a DJ because I thought that he could get a feel for the crowd and do what was necessary to get them on the dance floor, but that's not really what happened. Maybe if your group is more uniform in their cultures, ages and tastes, Peter would be a great choice, but I was disappointed. A lot of the things I wasn't thrilled about were not big issues, and if he had kept the dancing going throughout the night I would have ignored those and given a 5 star rating, but that's not what happened. read more

Our wedding was a few months away, we had decided on a disc jockey, and my wife had heard about The Spinheads from a previous wedding. We went to their site and looked them up. The Spinheads are DJ partners Terry Cole and Peter Haley. Peter wasn't available for our date, but Terry was, and we scheduled an appointment to visit him and plan our reception. He invited us to his apartment, and the first thing you notice is his wall of CD's ('and there are plenty more in the back'). The next thing you notice is that he is a genuinely nice guy; he listened well, was excited about working with you, and was open to almost anything we said (It's Your Day). There is little doubt that Terry had 'Been There, Done That.' He gave us a list of songs that were popular, but then it turned into an 'I Love The 70's/80's/90's' quiz show (which my wife and I are pretty good), and I don't think we stumped him once. He simply had, and knew, almost everything we've heard over a variety of musical tastes ranging from rock to classical to jazz. He took good notes, and we definitely felt like he knew what we wanted. He had an interesting life in San Francisco and it was fun chatting about that for a while. We concluded with a discussion of price, and I am glad to say that it was under my planned budget. He also had a lot of good suggestions for planning the reception, he knows the wedding scene and the venues, and he helped out a lot in developing the agenda. Next stop: Wedding Day. He arrived at the venue early and prepared well. After the reception, he had music playing in the background while the cocktail hour was going on, and he introduced us to the song we requested. He MC'd the planned toasts well, and he covered up for my drunken-relative non-scheduled, impromptu I-Love-You-Man-Family-Toast (ever notice the people you want to throw out of the wedding are the people that you can't?). He did go 'off-list' once or twice (we found out later it was from requests), but not obtrusively, and he knew how to bring crowds back on to the floor based on our selections. He was open to the other guests and kept them going until 11:00 or so, and wrapped it up at the time we wanted. He also concluded his business with me with a Special Surprise that I choose not to list; however, it was that little bit that made me add the extra star to the rating. All-in-all, there's a reason why the Spinheads only advertise by word-of-mouth, anyone who hires them will pass their information along to their friends. read more

I have known Peter for over 8 years. The irony was when I first met him, I was trying to sell him advertising (over the phone). Instead, Peter shared with me his philosophy and experiences as a Parcel Deliverer by day, and Spinhead by night. He always said he would love to DJ my wedding. And, he never bought any advertising from me. Two years later, when my good friends were getting married, I recommended Peter to them. They were very particular about their music (See Bekki J.'s review). TL;DR - Peter passed with flying colors. Four years later, my big day came, and the first (or maybe second... or third... tenth?) person I called was Peter. I was sold, but would my fiancee be? There are a few constants in life. Gravity will pull you down. A few laws on thermodynamics. Taxes. And Peter's charm will overcome all. I know it took me 6 years to get married (and let's be fair, that is more on me than Peter), but having anybody but Peter there that day would not have felt right. Peter was like perfect make up. He did not steal the show, but you knew he was there. I hope that it will not take you, yes YOU, as long as it took me to find your better half. And I also hope that when you do find your better half, that you remember to give Peter a call. So Peter, how about that advertising? read more

Peter DJ'd our wedding in April and we couldn't have been happier. He was great at responding to emails and we enjoyed getting together with him a couple of times before the wedding to talk music and plan. He was a joy to work with and we loved the music that he ended up playing for our dinner and reception. He got everyone on the dance floor, and they all stayed there until the very end. He even sent us on our way with CD's that had all of our songs on them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Super reliable, and a pleasure to be around. Thank you Peter!! read more

Terry was the DJ for our March 30, 2019 wedding (ceremony and reception) and did an awesome job! Terry was a joy to work with from our first point of contact all the way to that last song on our special day! He was responsive, friendly, and diligent. I didn't have to think for one second about any details on our special day - I trusted him to show up on time, work with my other vendors and have the timing down for all the music - and he did just that. I can't even remember where he was at all times or how he got set up in the various areas - it just happened seamlessly and perfectly without any issues. I can't think of anything more valuable when you're planning an event! Having vendors you can trust is the key to avoiding stress, in my opinion. Perhaps most importantly, the man knows how to get a party going!!! Every tune was perfectly timed and my guests had a great time boogie-ing into the night! Terry even made a few mix CDs of our tunes to share with guests and everyone who got them immediately popped them in their cars to continue the fun the next day. I cannot say enough good things about Terry - if you are a bride or are in charge of some event, do yourself a favor and hire the Spinheads! read more

Adding to the chorus of praise for Peter. I was shocked that someone could have so many 5 star reviews, but they are all well deserved. From start to finish, working with Peter was fantastic. He really enjoys what he does and it shows. He made great suggestions for dance music and ceremony music. He had every song we requested, no matter how obscure (and believe me, we requested some obscure songs). He was really fun to work with and the dance floor was never empty. Peter was a big part of why our wedding was a huge success and a lot of fun, and I recommend him 100%! read more

As you can see from the stars, I highly recommend the Spinheads. Peter Haley was the DJ for my wedding and before I describe the great job he did, I'll offer for added background that I first saw Peter DJ over ten years ago when he worked at my Uncle's wedding. I saw Peter some years later when he was working a wedding in my brother in law's family. Peter did the ceremony sound and music at that wedding in addition to the reception. Both weddings were great and people loved Peter's style. If you don't like long reviews and would rather skip my description of why Peter was so great, then here is the condensed version: He's an experienced professional who loves music, knows weddings, he's easy to work with, AND he's reasonably priced. Hire him. For those of you who want to know why I so strongly recommend Peter, here you are: So I knew that I wanted to contact the Spinheads while my fiance and I were planning our wedding because I'd danced to his sounds twice already. I knew he was a pro but my fiance didn't know him at all. She was completely won over after our meeting with Peter. We had a great time talking about music, sharing stories and sharing our thoughts about what makes a great wedding. It was obvious to us that Peter loved music and that he loved helping people celebrate with music. In fact, we planned some elements of our wedding based on ideas that came up in our meeting with Peter. He helped us create some of the very special memories that we'll always carry with us. In addition to Peter's friendly and welcoming demeanor, he was a seasoned professional. He knew all the right questions to ask and he was ready and able to work with our other vendors. For example, Peter did the sound for our ceremony and reception and we were fortunate enough to have the Mission Dolores Basilica Choir sing at our ceremony. Peter not only contacted the Choir director to discuss logistics but he also paid a visit to the church to make sure their keyboard would connect with his own equipment. He didn't overlook any details and it showed in the quality of his work at our wedding. The ceremony sound was perfect and his equipment was unobtrusive. Then from the moment he introduced us at the reception to our last dance, my wife and I did not once have to worry about the flow of the evening. Peter facilitated everything with efficiency and grace. His music for the dancing was right on the mark. We had given him some "must plays," and then a bunch of other songs and groups that we really liked. He had people on the dance floor the entire time. My wife and I had a blast. As you can tell, I fully endorse Peter as a DJ. He is enjoyable to work with and he is extremely capable, both musically and technically. He delivers high quality for a reasonable price. read more

We just had our wedding and culdn't have been happier with Peter. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the pre-planning to the actaul day. He was very thorough about planning and going over our ceremony, dinner and dancing. He was very helpful in provided a mic for guests to speak and also making annoucements on our behalf. Also, he had never worked at our location and went to Sepastopol to see the venue and meet with the on-site coordinator as well. We love Peter and you will too! read more

Peter Haley was very professional and helped to make our wedding awesome. He invited us to his home and also came out to our venue several times to make sure that he had a firm grasp of the layout. Our wedding and reception were spread over a large outdoor and indoor area and he made sure that he had a solid plan for setting up and moving around his gear. We gave him a pretty diverse song list: everything from oldies, motown, 80's, classic rock, hip-hop and everything in between. Not only did he know all of the songs, but he seemed genuinely excited about them and provided great recommendations for other songs that he thought we would like. He also had some great suggestions for the actual ceremony. On the day of, everything went off without a hitch , he kept the dance floor packed and all of the transitions went smoothly. All in all, Peter was a great choice and we highly recommend him. read more

We picked Peter to DJ at our wedding based on all the great Yelp reviews. At first we really wanted a band because we thought a band would get more people out dancing but then we just couldn't find the right band. And I'm so glad we didn't because Peter was awesome and the dance floor was packed all night. We had to extend the reception because no one would leave. People who I thought I would never see dancing were out on the floor. Everyone commented on how great he was. I can't think of anything I would have done differently with the music. It was perfect. Peter is so easy going and super great to work with too. In looking back at everything I'm really lucky because the music is such a major piece of the reception and I really didn't give Peter much to go on - but he nailed it! Thank you! read more
