DTB Productions was the preferred DJ vendor at our venue - specifically, DJ Mike was picked for our wedding! For me, it was a relief not having to worry about how to find a good DJ considering myself, my husband, and our guests are all from the midwest. However, I was still a little nervous of course! But trust me, ALL of those nerves left the second my husband and I first met DJ Mike over a Zoom call! He was energetic, full of ideas, and offered his honest opinion whenever we asked! We ended up trusting DJ Mike so much that we asked him to hand pick all of the songs for our ceremony prelude, cocktail hour, and dinner (while keeping our discussed genres in mind). He absolutely NAILED it!!! With that, his sound quality was AMAZING throughout the entire day! Our wedding was the first wedding where we actually could understand ALL of the DJ announcements! DJ Mike seriously did whatever he could to make myself and my husband happy, and we will forever appreciate that! He always had the biggest and brightest smile on his face and treated us with nothing but respect! Such a cool and fun guy to work with! NOTE: Ourselves and our guests have a very wide variety of music that we like and listen to - ranging from classic rock, mix jazz, country, 80s, mix pop, etc.

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

C West Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Mayer, AZ

C West Entertainment was founded by Javier Carlos in 2014. As years went on, he reached out to colleagues and family who had a similar passion for music and entertainment. Over the years, we have grown into a team of dedicated individuals who want to continue the growth and passion of live entertainment. We aim to pave the way for future DJs and entertainers in the state of Arizona. From weddings, private events, and school dances our team wants to shake up the norms of the valley. No more cookie-cutter events and button pushers.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to Javier at C West Entertainment for their service on our wedding day at the Nardini Manor. From the moment we booked them, Javier was an absolute gem to work with. His communication was outstanding, always prompt and clear in his responses. He took the time to understand our vision for the music and atmosphere we wanted to create. Javier stayed in communication with us and kept us on track for making timelines and deciding what we truly wanted at our wedding. We even had the pleasure of meeting Javier at a vendor event at our venue just weeks before our wedding, it was just a solid added bonus! On the day of the event, while our assigned DJ had a few hiccups with timing. Our guests never even noticed because we chose vendors who worked with each other frequently and they knew how to work together without us overseeing the situation to get everything back on track. Javier handled everything with such professionalism and grace. His experience and expertise were evident as he effortlessly managed any challenges that arose. Despite the minor bumps in the road, the music was fantastic, and the dance floor was packed all night long. I wish I had more photos and videos to add to the review, but there was never a time the dance floor wasn't packed. The DJ kept the energy high throughout the evening. It was clear that he was dedicated to making our day memorable! I highly recommend Javier at C West Entertainment to any couple looking for a reliable, talented, and professional DJ service for their wedding. Javier truly goes above and beyond to ensure their clients' happiness, and we are so grateful for everything he did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Custom Fit Dj Services

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Mayer, AZ

Custom Fit Dj offers a personalized DJ service for music lovers gathering with friends/family to create once in a lifetime memories. We are a smaller team that specializes in adapting to each clients unique tastes. Our planning app makes it super easy to upload your playlist for cocktail hour or the party and have input on the music for each special moment.

We are SO happy we chose DJ Mike and Custom Fit DJ for our wedding! From the moment we met Mike, we felt an instant connection. He’s not just a DJ—he’s a true music lover and vibe PROFESSIONAL. We booked “The Mike Experience” to have him, the owner, personally DJ and emcee our wedding, and it was worth every penny. During our planning calls, we’d chat about music we both loved, and Mike immediately understood the energy we were going for. He also suggested songs and artists that matched our tastes, which made the process fun, collaborative, and completely personalized. Three ways he went above and beyond: 1: Mike’s planning tools are top-notch. He uses his own beautifully designed planning app/website to organize everything—full of comprehensive questions and prompts that made it easy for us and our wedding planners to stay on track and ensure the sound for the day went smoothly. 2: His team handled all the sound for our outdoor ceremony. Even with a surprise windstorm (hello, haboob!), the audio was crisp and clear—our guests could hear every word of our heartfelt vows perfectly. 3: Our reception was held under a large, open pavilion, so we opted to upgrade the sound and lighting setup with them. The audio quality was fantastic, with zero mic feedback issues during speeches and toasts. And because the venue was such a spacious, open area, even with 200 guests, there were plenty of spots for people to roam and enjoy themselves. Guests told us it felt like a festival! The music carried beautifully across the space, so even when people weren’t on the dance floor, they were still bopping along, vibing, and having a great time wherever they were. As an emcee and host, DJ Mike kept everything running on time and hit every key moment, just as we had discussed in our planning calls. He brought the perfect energy—not over-the-top, not too formal—just the right mix of chill and hype that we wanted. The rest of his team was amazing, too—highly professional and friendly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could truly enjoy being in the moment. Our guests are still raving about the music and what a great time they had! DJ Mike helped create a night that felt so joyful, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you're getting married in Arizona (or anywhere else he’ll travel), we 100% recommend DJ Mike and Custom Fit DJ. We’re already looking for an excuse to party with him again in the future. Hire Custom Fit DJ now—you'll have zero regrets!!!

Began our Company 15 years ago after an article was published with an alarming stat: 99.3% of Weddings no one could remember anything about them 6 months afterwards. Centerpieces? What the food was? Nothing. In Marketing terms that means that the event was not Memorable. Our thought was, if you are spending this much time (and money) it had better be memorable! So, we've devoted all of our efforts to providing you the ability to make your event as fun and memorable as your hoping that it will be.

I have worked with Greg at Gold Ring for multiple events and have always had a great experience! He is professional and helpful and the services he offers have really taken our events to the next level! We will definitely continue to use him for cocktail hour piano playing, lighting, and Photo Booth services!

DJ Nate Murray is a consummate professional. He met with my wife and I before the wedding, gave us helpful and knowledgeable advice, and listened to our concerns. During the wedding reception he played the songs we requested for the first and second dance, and then (as agreed upon before) went into a playlist of songs he had arranged for the occasion, all of which were well-chosen and helped set an appropriately festive and easy-going mood. He interacted well with the guests, and set the right tone for the occasion. In short, I give him my highest recommendation.
