Absolutely Amazing DJ - Highly Recommend ! We had the pleasure of working with Spencer for our wedding on September 19, 2025, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! We were honestly so stressed about choosing a Dj, but after one phone call with Spencer, the stress was relieved. He made us feel completely at ease, and we knew right away we were in good hands. Spencer was incredibly helpful, professional, and detail oriented. As first-time wedding planners, we appreciated how easy he made the entire process, offering helpful suggestions from all perspectives, playlists and multiple music options, and a detailed planning method which made the planning process simple and enjoyable, not overwhelming. On our wedding day, Spencer read the crowd perfectly, and kept the energy up all night. Everyone had an amazing time, and we received so many compliments on the music and fun atmosphere. We also had the Photo Booth included in our package, and it was a total hit! It was easy to use, and our guests had a blast with all the fun props and filters. We loved that everyone got their photos right away, and Spencer even emailed us all the photos and boomerangs everyone took - Such a fun way to relive the memories and see everyone enjoying themselves. Even with a few last-minute changes, Spencer was on top of every detail, making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. His dedication to making everything perfect truly showed throughout our entire wedding. If you're looking for a DJ who's fun, professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making your event unforgettable, we 100% recommend Spencer & his team. He was a huge part of what made our wedding so special, and we're beyond grateful we chose him! read more

We selected Sutherland Entertainment from MANY of the reviews, as well as a direct referral from our caterer, as one of our vendors for our corporate holiday event. The organization, ease of planning, constant communication, and amazing "extra's" to choose from - made our event one of the best our teams have ever had. We selected outdoor games, photo booth, extra lighting (which really made a difference), DJ (who Spencer himself mc'd) as well as the most AMAZING entrance with a live guitarist as guests entered the space. Truly top notch and highly recommend for ANY event. read more

DJ Spencer was truly terrible at the wedding I attended a few weeks ago. He berated the maid of honor to the point of making her cry and forced myself and another guest, both groomsmen, to move his equipment during the reception. He was condescending to not only the coordinators but also the bride and the groom, completely ignoring their submitted playlist in favor of music he himself deemed appropriate. Not only that, but he also played songs in their entirety, which created an awful atmosphere at an otherwise gorgeous wedding. This got bad enough that the dance floor completely emptied out several times and the bride complained of not having the music she explicitly chose to dance to. I will not be recommending this service to anyone in the future and I hope the business chooses to remedy itself of this problem. read more

We had Spencer from Sutherland do our wedding. We gave him 3 names to interact with besides the bride and groom(myself), however he felt it necessary to ignore those names in favor of asking me all questions he had during the day. When he finally began interacting with our Day of Coordinator in favor of me, he quickly began yelling at her, I later found her hidden away crying due to how rude he had been, since she didn't want to concern us with this issue. After making her cry he decided it wise to continue pulling me away from my wedding throughout the reception, moving where our dance floor is, attempting to remove tables that currently had guests, pulling guests to move his equipment for him because it is "not his job" to move his own equipment and overall making me be his mouthpiece to other vendors as again it is "not his job". When it came time to dancing the music was fine, he did not play any song from our requested playlist until the matron of honor asked him to several times, and this resulted in multiple moments with no one on the dance floor (and a mass exodus at around 9:30pm because of music). Overall i would not recommend Sutherland for the price. read more

Spencer was the DJ, he didn't play any songs that the bride and groom requested and even yelled at my friends. He pulled other friends and guests away from celebrating to help him move his equipment and kept loudly testing his audio in the middle of dinner. He tried his best to ruin the night. Do not work with him unless you want an entitled, lazy, and horrible listener of a DJ. read more

I attended a wedding on June 1st and it was beautiful, but the DJ was horrible. He yelled at the maid of honor and made her cry (and never apologized), he was rude to the groom, who he was told to leave alone (because it's his wedding!!) and he didn't play any songs that the Bride and Groom requested. I also heard him say that HE was in charge of the wedding and what happens when... HE'S THE DJ IT'S NOT HIS WEDDING! Please fire that man he is very rude and unprofessional. read more

Sutherland Entertainment was one of our vendors at our wedding this past weekend at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA and we cannot say enough good things about Spencer! He was on the preferred list of vendors for this venue and we can see why. Spencer is detail oriented, professional and a great MC/ DJ. He has a variety of packages that offer AV, DJ-ing and even photo booth services. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we had zero mic feedback, great mic volume and clarity. He was able to read the crowd and kept the party going all night long! Before the wedding he made sure to send over a planning spreadsheet so he knew exactly what it was we wanted. He even helped put up some Chinese lanterns for us on the patio to really bring our vision to life. Day of, he checked in with us the whole day to make sure we were feeling good. We had a small issue with a table falling over and he was the first vendor to come over and reassure us that everything was going to be fine. Overall, Sutherland Entertainment is the DJ to beat and should be your first choice when looking for a full-service, awesome party. read more

Spencer was fantastic at our wedding at Ardenwood this month! I was drawn to working with Spencer as soon as he presented his planning spreadsheet during our first intro call. I'm already a type-A spreadsheet-obsessed type of bride so to have a DJ already have their own spreadsheet with all of the details outlined and thinking 3 steps ahead, it was a perfect match. With all of the information that we shared, Spencer was able to take that with just about a week of notice (because we were a bit delayed :) ), and executed our entire wedding flawlessly. My biggest priorities for the wedding DJ was keeping the wedding on time and keeping people lit on the dance floor - both of which were achieved. Thank you Spencer!!! read more

Spencer was incredibly professional, organized, and created a super fun dance party for our wedding! We've had guests asking for the playlist from our wedding because it was so on point and we owe it all to Spencer. Spencer also handled all of the lighting (indoor and outdoor) at our Brazilian Room wedding and worked with us to arrange a Photobooth. Everything looked fantastic and he graciously accommodated our special requests. Spencer provided us with a spreadsheet to help us get organized, and then he made sure we stayed on time and kept the speeches and other cues in line. We highly recommend Spencer!! read more

We reached out to Sutherland Entertainment for our May wedding at the Berkeley City Club, and knew as soon as we spoke to Spencer that we would be moving forward with his company. Spencer was incredibly insightful, experienced, and innovative in ways that challenge standard DJ services. He offered everything from full service music and audio with club-style transitions, to station and bistro lighting, and ensured that his equipment was elegant and well suited to the venue. His style incorporated both our personal music selections, crowd pleasers, and was able to adjust to the crowd. From the time our dance floor opened to the time it closed, it was never empty. Every compliment were received the morning after the wedding included some mention of how great the DJ was, and how our Tuesday night wedding had such incredible energy. Spencer had our wedding guests doing the worm, the splits, dropping it low, and singing like no one was listening. Thank you, Spencer, for making our special day incredibly memorable and a true party. read more

DJ Kevin did an excellent job at our wedding. He handled the timeline and speeches perfectly (including a surprise musical element to my dad's toast), he helped me with a unique mix we added to the playlist to surprise the groom, he kept the dancefloor full for a diverse crowd from start to finish and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! We also had a great experience with the photo booth. Our guests really enjoyed snapping their pics and our guestbook was full of great shots and nice notes. All in all, very pleased with the service and would recommend wholeheartedly. read more

We worked with Spencer directly for our wedding and highly appreciated his attention to detail, responsiveness, and flexibility throughout the planning process. We weren't super timely in delivering our playlists and song choices, and he was understanding and helpfully reminded us when we were getting closer to the big day. Additionally, he did a fantastic time MCing and working with our day-of coordinator to make sure the ceremony kept on-time (since our venue had a strict cut-off time). read more

I truly could not have been happier with the service provided by Spencer Sutherland and his team!! The live music, DJ, and photo booth were PERFECT and our guests had a blast. Everything went off without a hitch and it was instrumental to our wedding being seamless and so memorable. The guitarist, David, added a very special element to our ceremony and our DJ Kevin kept everyone dancing until the very end of the night! All of our guests loved the photobooth and I am so grateful for the hundreds of photos taken that I will cherish for a lifetime. During the planning phase, Spencer was proactive in making sure all details were determined ahead of time. The online planning forms made it very easy. During our initial call Spencer was clear in explaining all of our options and was quite responsive from start to finish. I would recommend Sutherland Entertainment to anyone I know and I look forward to working with them for future events. read more

Spencer made our wedding so much fun! He was easy to work with and gave the best suggestions. So many of our guests were saying how much fun they had and how great the music was. I would hire Sutherland Entertainment again in a heartbeat. read more

Working with Cody from Sutherland was amazing! Our guests continued to rave about him weeks after our wedding. We were particularly impressed with Cody's ability to find and mix in specific Chinese songs we requested. We were also really impressed by the quality of our experience with our extra request; to have a private dance outside on the patio after the reception. We expected the music to be playing from the speakers inside the Brazilian room, but he had set up the speakers outside, which made our experience so much more private and enjoyable. Also all the lights were beautiful, from the warm amber lights along the wall to the hanging lights inside, and along the walkway. I can't say express enough what a great experience we had and how grateful we are for the easy, responsive, and proactive experience we had! Thank you for making our special day so much more special! read more

Spencer came highly recommended by our venue owner and hiring him for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. He's thorough, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and a pleasure to work with. He was patient as we navigated the process and worked closely with us to create amazing playlists. We also had him play guitar during the reception and it was magnificent! Finally, when we asked for some last-minute changes, he accommodated them with grace and understanding. We recommend Spencer with our highest level of enthusiasm!! read more

Spencer is AMAZING! I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He was professional, organized, structured, kind, positive, energetic, and fun! He kept everyone on track (we didn't have a day of coordinator). I have never seen any DJ as good as him. After our wedding, we had about 20 of our guests tell us that he was so amazing! I was worried going into our wedding that there would be awkward lulls or lots of sitting around, but we had zero thanks to him! He kept the party moving. Good energy all around. I want to have another big party just so he can DJ it! He did our lighting, ceremony, and reception. No regrets! He is amazing. read more

Very professional and responsive. We hired Spencer to MC and DJ our wedding and were very happy with his services. Given that our venue did not have the best acoustics, Spencer did a great job making sure that we had the right sound set up. He was prepared for every minute of the reception and was careful to make sure that he got everybody's name in the program correct. With some general direction with regards to musical genres, Spencer picked a repertoire of songs that were perfect for our guests. His equipment sounded great and all of our guests really enjoyed the music and the vibes of our celebration. read more

We hired Spencer to play guitar during our wedding cocktail hour and DJ during the reception. Spencer listened to what we wanted even for songs not in his library. Before we hired him, he made me a "dinner music sampler" based on what I told him I liked, when I expressed concern about the music. We were really impressed with his doing so. As to the guitar playing during the cocktail hour, we unfortunately did not get to hear it since we were late to it. During the reception, Spencer did the minimal amount of talking. Everything went by so quickly the day of the wedding so I can't really say what was and was not played, but I do know that there were A LOT of people dancing to songs that I never thought I'd see them dance to!!! People seemed to have a great time on the dance floor, which was one of our goals. My guests noted that there was a good variety of music...that Spencer played something for every generation! We only wished we'd been able to dance more! Thanks, Spencer! read more

When we needed a DJ for our holiday party I turned to Yelp and I found Spencer. He was a pleasure to work with, he was very straight forward and his website was a great help to us when we made our decision. We told him we wanted a variety and he nailed the music selection and played something that was enjoyable for everyone. We also had a magician perform at our event and Spencer was able to coordinate and work everything out with the magician so the performance was smooth and flawless. I really enjoyed having Spencer be a part of our event and I highly recommend him! read more

We're so glad we hired Spencer to DJ our wedding! He handled the audio for the wedding ceremony itself, MC'd the reception, played the music for the dancing, and also provided uplighting for the event space. Everything he worked on just went smoothly. The audio for the ceremony was high quality and just worked. He did a great job as MC, staying on time, announcing what was happening, and making everyone feel welcome. He did fantastically with the music too - we had a few specific requests, and he nailed them all, but most of the night we gave only vague instructions and he made a ton of great picks, keeping energy high on the dance floor. The uplighting he provided was beautiful as well and really elevated the space! Throughout the process, he was easy to work with, timely, communicated proactively, and was always on top of every little detail. We'd definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ! read more

Spencer was great in communicating with us through 5 pandemic date changes. Kevin the DJ was the best. He was able to incorporate our eclectic requests smoothly and the music was terrific! Highly professional and made our event great. read more

Spencer was great to work with for our wedding at the Brazilian Room this past September 2019. He gave us just the right amount of guidance to recommend how to have our event run smoothly, while still allowing us to make all of the decisions in the planning process. As part of the package, the forms they provided made the planning process and putting together song requests for the DJ super easy. Our DJ, Derek, was so personable and played just the right songs at the end of the night for our crowd. Also, Sutherland Entertainment is a preferred vendor for The Brazilian Room in Berkeley, so if you're getting married there, they have a special package that's discounted, which is a great deal. They also offer lighting services, which we took advantage of, and our venue looked absolutely beautiful that night. read more

We discovered Sutherland through a friend who has used them many times for various functions. Cody DJ'ed for us at a farewell dinner-dance party at the Foreign Cinema. This was meant to be more of a casual thing compared to a wedding, so we didn't want to spend a ton of time arranging this, and Spencer made the process super easy. We were very pleased with Cody's work (our friend who made the original rec said he's used all of their DJs, and he's liked all of them). Strongly recommend. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Spencer Sutherland and His incredible staff of lighting technicians and DJ's! We used Sutherland Entertainment for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. What we were most captured by with Spencer was his patience and customer service. He was with us every step of the way with wisdom and advice and options to work with our budget. He was by far our best vendor! DJ Trevor was INCREDIBLE! He kept everyone dancing and was such a champ when thrown through a few hoops with the extravagant last names of our Wedding Party. He was so smooth and made it so special! Trevor we will always remember how you figured out how to play my grandfathers song for our first dance at the very last moment. Thank you Sutherland Entertainment for perfecting our Wedding Day, we pray an abundance of business to flow to you and blessings over your company!!! Thank you Thank you! read more

We used Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding ceremony. Spencer is a class act - organized, patient and talented. His process from the beginning is very clear with an online portal that was easy to use and communicate our preferences. Throughout working with him, he built my confidence that was executed flawlessly during our celebration. He played the guitar and DJ'ed for us, which each song leading into the next. Excellent selections! Lastly, I once called overwhelmed and he calmly brought me back to Earth. He is someone you want to have in your court when planning a party! Thank you, Spencer. read more

I came across Spencer for my wedding in Aug The wedding would be in the Bay Area fog His website was nice So I didn't think twice I bookmarked it, then I went out for a jog I said, "I have questions - can you answer them, please?" He gave me advice, and my mind was at ease Back and forth e-mails I know many females Would be happy that planning could be such a breeze He made one remark that got me quite teary: "I'll have limited time for your many a query" I was taken aback But I cut him some slack Most questions were answered, so I was not feary Guitar for cocktails - it was quite a good deal So we hired him and we promised a meal His prices were fair And he seemed to care He's professional and also knowledgable, I feel As the day drew closer and my heart was fast-beating Spencer and I scheduled a phone meeting I got no call He was AWOL Where was my DJ? Where was this leading? I was worried because I was waiting so long He finally said, "Sorry - I got the time wrong!" OMG, Spence! I was so tense! He sent me his timeline - I'll admit, it was strong On the wedding day, he was on time and prepared His coordinator skills, he generously shared Got all the names right No cheese that night No lame jokes, no weird games - we were all spared For dancing, I'd say the songs started out strong But then all the oldies went on for too long People got tired My friend was inspired To ask for current music, and she was not wrong After that, the party was hot - knock on wood! Dance floor was packed and the music was good He maintained the flow Even shy folks let go! They danced in ways I didn't know that they could! My notes said bouquet toss was for girls and guys During the meeting, I forgot to discuss this *sighs* He missed it - so sad :( It's partly my bad But I got over it quickly - I cannot tell lies! Four stars for Spencer - mistakes here and there But overall, good work - many good traits to share It's a tough job He didn't dress like a slob I'm done with my poem. Now, off to my lair! read more

Spencer is awesome!!!! We chose Spencer based on a recommendation from another vendor that told us that if we wanted a Dance Party...to hire Spencer. Wow...was that the truth!!! Spencer was completely professional, responsive and helpful during the planning process. He was accommodating and patient with any budget constraints and gave me a lot of great advice. As for the day of...he played the guitar for the ceremony beautifully and then was nimble enough to switch over and make sure to play the songs we needed from his sound system for our recessional. He came and scouted our location the day before (because we hired him to play down in L.A.) and was totally fired up and prepared to make sure everything went smoothly. He did a fantastic job of MC'ing the wedding...not talking too much but just making sure the guests knew what was going on. He helped us pull off a fun choreographed first dance on an entirely different dance floor and even helped my husband surprise me with a serenade by having a sound system/mic ready for that... and he kept the secret!!! :D He kept our dance floor absolutely PACKED all night!!! We even had to change our format a bit and skip some other things because people would NOT leave the dancefloor!! That is a high class problem!!! We thought that was going to be difficult because our dance floor was on a slant and we thought guests would not dance...forget about it! Spencer had them dancing so much that we actually pooled money together and paid him to stay an extra 3 hours (and he even threw in an extra half hour for us because he is so cool!) Then, he came up and shared a tamale with me at the afterparty...I love that he was cool and personable and I am thrilled that we hired Spencer!!! :D You can't worry about every little song that is played...if you do, then you should have an IPOD list and hire a friend to man it. Spencer has the gift of music and the ability to read a crowd. Let him do his thing and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Spencer Sutherland was a great choice for our wedding. During the ceremony he played Spanish classics on acoustic guitar which was beautiful and romantic. It really set the mood. He was also our DJ for the reception and kept the party going all night! The venue manager let him play one more song after closing time because people were having so much fun. Although we gave him a request list we told him to play what he thought was best. This was great because the dance floor was filled all night with all ages of people! I still have guests telling me how much fun they had. I also appreciate his suggestions too. My husband and I planned the wedding ourselves and weren't sure of details and Spencer was a huge help. I like that he was so detailed and filling out the forms helped us create the flow of the wedding. The whole time he was kind, professional, and flexible. I would definitely recommend Spencer Sutherland to anyone who wants to have a GREAT wedding! read more

We are very happy that we chose Spencer and his team at Sutherland Entertainment for our wedding. When searching for a DJ for our wedding, it was difficult to know who to choose, especially when looking from out of state. My now husband set up a phone call with the owner of Sutherland, Spencer, and felt at ease and confident that Sutherland Entertainment was the right choice. Spencer is genuine and honest. Throughout the many months of planning Spencer was available to answer questions and didn't miss a detail. Also, Sutherland was our top choice for the array of services they offer and for the reasonable prices. We were able to pick a package that fit all our needs; including, lighting, DJ and photobooth! The lighting was perfect with amber up lighting in the reception room, string lights on the patio, colorful lights on the dance floor and more. It all looked beautiful and inviting. DJ Cody was great at his job and kept the party moving. He was easy to work with, took our song requests and was there to help direct guests throughout the night. He was super friendly too! He was engaged with the party and didn't miss a beat. All his sound levels and timing were perfect. Lastly, the photobooth was a huge hit at our wedding. We are so glad we decided to add it in our package. The prime placement of the booth within the venue, plenty of fun props and prints available to print right away, email or text helped make this a highlight of the night. It was so fun to look through all the photos of our family and friends after the wedding! Overall, we highly recommend Sutherland Entertainment! read more

Kevin was our DJ. He did a fantastic job. He worked in all of our requests and did a terrific job when we left it up to the DJ. They were responsive. Highly recommend! read more

Spencer Sutherland is the definition of a professional. From the moment of our initial meeting in his chic studio (kudos on perrier) to the very last beat from the turn tables, he radiated class, calm, comfort and charm. The classical guitar was a touch our guests from NY to LA will not soon forget. The dance floor stayed jammed, he set everyone at ease during toasts, and allowed my beautiful bride and I to just enjoy our special time. In a nutshell, he is good peeps. Thanks Spencer! read more

Review is for experiencing Sutherland Entertainment's DJ services, and then hiring them for DJ and Photobooth services. We got to experience Sutherland Entertainment first at a friend's wedding. DJ Cody wasn't just putting on a playlist, but was actively watching what we were responding to and playing music that we liked. The bride and groom's first dance was Alesso, and so he kept the music in that theme, playing mostly EDM to the dance floor. He was regularly mixing and scratching as well, something that typically goes unnoticed. The girlfriend (at the time!) and I gave our kudos to DJ Cody, commenting that the trap music wasn't going as well as the EDM, so he knew which direction to go with the crowd. Awesome. Fast forward and my fiancee (the aforementioned "girlfriend"!) and I were looking for our own DJ. We got in touch with Spencer from Sutherland Entertainment, who handled all of our communications and planning. Spencer's attention to detail was much appreciated as we had missed in regards to music. (Who knew that there were different flavors of mingling/cocktail music?!) Spencer put us in touch with DJ Kevin (KEPIKmusic.com) as our official DJ for our reception. Throughout the planning process, DJ Kevin was very accessible via email and phone. Sitting on a phone call with him didn't feel like work and he was extremely accomodating, seamlessly splice a song for the Father/Daughter dance. Super easy going, fast to schedule, we never had conflict with him. Kevin was sharp and asked us for certain things, such as a script for the reception, which played a large role in people enjoying our reception. We had special announcements we wanted to make and Kevin absolutely nailed it. During the reception, he was constantly in touch with us keeping us up to date on where we were in our schedule. He was flexing to every event and did a fantastic job being the ultimate collaborator in the largest "one and done" party we've ever thrown in our lives. DJ Kevin was really hype at the reception himself. He joined in and made sure that the atmosphere was pumped up for our entrances and dances. The dance music itself was a hit and everyone stayed on the dance floor until the very end. DJ Kevin absolutely nailed it. I would absolutely recommend him to any of our other friends! Photobooth: We had a photobooth as well as a photo backdrop for greeting guests. Everything was set up before we showed up to the venue. The photobooth technician was warm, welcoming, helpful and had a great sense of humor as my friends all reported that the technician couldn't stop laughing and commenting on their creativity with the photos. The photoback drops were rather large, able to squeeze in groups of 8-10 people. I was able to create my own photo strip design and Sutherland was happy to accommodate so that I could give my own touch to the guest mementos. Sutherland Entertainment is a detail oriented, crowd pleasing entertainment company that has it together. I'd recommend them any time, anywhere! read more

We had DJ Cody play our wedding a couple of months. He was great and kept everyone dancing. Very professional, played all of the songs we requested, and even worked with our Best Man and Maid of Honor to ensure the A/V equipment cooperated for their surprise videos during the reception. They also provided the mics for the ceremony and everything went off without a hitch. Just one star off because some of the initial back and forth with Sutherland Entertainment was a little confusing. A lot of the email responses we received seemed like form-emails that were copied and pasted and sent off to us. They might have addressed our initial questions somewhere amidst all of the dollar amounts and itemized lists, but sometimes I just wanted a simple answer to "Why is this package more expensive than just buying xyz a la carte?" Also, because of the form-letter/template aspect of these emails I didn't always trust that we were getting the best deal. The emails seemed to be built around up-selling us and I just wanted an actual human being to tell me whether they honestly believed we NEEDED dancefloor uplighting or not. In the end, we were very happy with how everything turned out, but initially I was put off by how impersonal our interactions were. read more

We booked Sutherland Entertainment for our October 2015 wedding reception at The Westin St. Francis. We chose Sutherland Entertainment in part because they were a preferred vendor of the St. Francis and because they were highly rated on Yelp. I can tell you that Spencer did not disappoint, he was responsive, professional, accommodating and very easy to work with. His pricing is fair and competitive. And DJ Cody was fantastic! I had so many guests compliment him, he kept the party going and the music was great! If you need a DJ, then I would highly recommend Sutherland Entertainment, they are the best! read more

Spencer and his staff are top rate. I could not have asked for better service, coordination, and final presentation than they were able to provide. We utilized a wedding package through Sutherland Entertainment and it was money well spent. If i could go back, the only change would be to have taken more of Spencer's advice and added more uplighting in different areas. The lighting, the sound, the performers were all we could ever ask for. We used the guitarist David and DJ Von Woo. We highly recommend both these two options for anyone's event. Thank you so much for making our day even more special! read more

My fiancee and I booked Spencer for our wedding reception at the Park Chalet at the recommendation of the event manager there. After checking up on several other DJs, we picked Spencer because he offered a well defined service and seemed quite professional. Sure, i could have saved a few bucks by renting my own speakers, bringing an ipod, and putting one of my friends in charge of making sure the tunes kept coming but with Spencer, all of this was taken care of for us. I'm no music guy but I definitely appreciated the service and professionalism Spencer offered. Via his website, we sent him a list of music we wanted played (mostly 80s at the request of my wife), a list of music that we didn't want played (chicken dance and all of the cheezy wedding standards), and list of people to speak and times. Spencer called me to confirm the pronounciation of names, double check the schedule, and then took care of the rest. I didn't have to worry about anything else and my guests did appreciate the energy he brought to the dancing and drinking after dinner. Best part of the night? I didn't have to hear the chicken dance once. Thank you, Spencer. -g PS. His latin guitar music is quite good; we had him play it during the dinner hour. read more

Spencer was an excellent DJ for our wedding - he kept people dancing all night! I was amazed that he got everyone, from our just-graduated-college friends to our older relatives out on the dance floor. In fact, the only time the floor was empty was when he played a song I had requested, that he specifically told me was a bad idea, and I had insisted. He let it play for a short while, and then thankfully switched back to more dance friendly music. If only I had listened to him originally! Aside from the perfect taste in music, there were a few more things I really appreciated: - Turn Tables: these just looked cool! - Barely spoke at all: he was totally laid back and didn't draw attention to himself - Helped out with Ceremony mics at the last minute (like 2 days in advance) when my other vendor backed out read more

Spencer did a great job at our wedding reception; he played guitar during the cocktail hour and provided DJ service for dinner and dancing. He was super helpful during our first meeting, giving useful tips to help us choose our play & do not play lists, and even sharing recommendations for caterers and other vendors during our early stages of planning. Our reception presented a few challenges for any DJ . . . For instance, our venue had a very strict noise policy, and we were warned several times by our venue manager that the DJ absolutely must adhere to it. Spencer patiently answered my questions about this, and during the reception made sure we had music everyone could hear and enjoy without incurring the wrath of our venue manager. We also had a pretty mixed group of guests, with some wanting after-dinner conversation and others wanting to dance - Spencer kept both groups happy and kept us happy too. I especially appreciated the way he checked in with us during the last hour just to make sure there were no songs we especially wanted to hear that he had not played yet. Thanks for everything Spencer! read more

What a pro. Spencer met with us twice before our wedding at the Brazil Room and we exchanged lots of emails to make sure all the details were perfect. He discussed the pros and cons of the songs we chose for the procession and all the set up details It was obvious from the first meeting that he's not only musically talented, knowledgeable, and flexible but also very experienced. The live guitar during the ceremony was gorgeous and he even packed the dance floor at 1pm on a Sunday! All the announcements, first dance, cake cutting, etc. went off without a hitch and we didn't have to worry about a thing, which is HUGE on your wedding day! Spencer really gets it. read more
