If you’re looking for a DJ, look no further. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. Not to sound cliche, but Dave literally turned our wedding dreams into realities for ou...
r November 2025 wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Dave was helpful, supportive, and honest. He is really good at what he does. Really good. He really takes his time to get to know his clients at the planning meetings to ensure that everyone is on the same page about everything. Because of this, there were no surprises on wedding day. From the ceremony to the reception, Dave had everything under control.
Early on I expressed concern about my husband’s hearing impairment. I was worried that he would not be able to hear the ceremony, speeches, etc. We both expressed these concerns to Dave, who without hesitation, put in the work to figure out a solution. On wedding day, Dave worked with my husband before the ceremony started to make sure he would be able to hear everything. Dave brought extra wires/cables to connect with my husband’s hearing devices. He checked in with him throughout the night to make sure he wasn’t missing anything. I can’t put a price tag on this.
Thank you, Dave, for making our wedding the perfect day that it was.

We hired Spin Doctor Entertainment back in May 2025 for our wedding. They came highly recommended by our venue (The Heritage Hotel). We booked him for our reception, late night ka...
raoke and a Photo Booth. This was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Dave made everything so easy and convenient from the moment we inquired about availability. He is very laid back while being extremely professional and organized. A couple weeks before our wedding we had a meeting with Dave to map out the schedule. He went over the entire timeline, introductions to the reception, how to pronounce names, songs we absolutely wanted played, definitely did not want played, first dance songs, final songs and much more. We were having a traditional Cambodian wedding, and Dave was very accommodating with finding some of these Cambodian songs that we needed to play. From the first song that opened the dance floor, the energy was high and people packed the dance floor all night long until last call. We also added on the Photo Booth package so when people needed a break, they could capture a memory. We were upgraded to the mirror Photo Booth. This Photo Booth was a great experience and all of our guest were raving over it. Dave choreographed the entire night and we did not need to think about the entertainment for a second. We will be forever appreciative of how stress free of an environment he creates. A true professional. Our guest still talk about how much fun they had. We had people on the dance floor who said “I never dance at weddings but I was dancing at yours”. Dave strongly recommended doing a final private dance, just the two of us on the dance floor after all the guest leave. We are so beyond happy we did this. It is a moment we often look back on and cherish. It was an intimate final moment for the two of us to take in our whole day together. Just a small detail of care and attention you will get when you book Spin Doctor Entertainment. Finally, if you are looking to keep the energy going from the reception to 2 am, book the late night Karaoke in the tavern. Our guest were up there singing their hearts out. Thank you Dave and his team for everything.

ailed timeline builder, and a song selection tool where we could mark must plays, like to hear, and do not plays. He even had suggestions for key moments like the bouquet toss, cake cutting, and first dances, which helped a lot when we weren’t sure where to start.
We also used Dave’s drapery package, which completely elevated our venue and gave it a polished, high-end feel. His customizable DJ booth was another fun detail! It had our names displayed on the front and made for a great photo spot for guests!
On the day of the wedding, Dave was professional, attentive, and helped everything run smoothly. He checked in throughout the night and made sure we had a perfect private last dance, clearing the room effortlessly.
Highly recommend Dave if you’re looking for a DJ who’s talented, thoughtful, and truly cares about making your day amazing!

He even walked my cousin through officiating his first wedding, which was welcomed greatly! A huge thanks is owed to Dave for this. Our wedding was perfect because we heard every song we wanted to be played! There wasn't a time the dance floor wasn't full!
The amount of experience he has is a total benefit as well. Dave knew all the ins and outs of our Venue and kept the bridal party on task. When we were wavering on a first vs last dance he gave us plenty of examples on why the last dance is just a perfect end to the wedding. We are so glad we took his advise! My husband and I would be giving more than 5 stars if possible!! Please highly consider Dave and his team for your next event!

older songs for the parents/grandparents to playing the new tunes for the younger crowd. The dance floor was rocking all night! We highly recommend getting the photo booth that Dave’s team offers. It was a huge hit after receiving feedback from our guests. Dave’s ability to custom a couple key songs throughout the night was an awesome addition as well. Dave got there a couple hours before the ceremony to make sure everything was setup exactly how he wanted it, which eased our mind a lot. The preparation he showed was top notch. If looking for a DJ, look no further than the Spin Doctor!

We even received all of those recordings the night of our wedding which I was not expecting to get so fast!

I highly recommend Dave from Spin Doctor Entertainment. From the beginning, he was so responsive and helpful, plus the online planning form really kept me organized! The prices are...
SO reasonable for what's included. We opted for the photo booth package, WHICH WAS AMAZING! It was a huge hit with the guests and we got a copy of every photo strip printed. The ceremony and reception went flawlessly, even when there were some curveballs thrown in there. We originally weren’t planning on doing a cake cutting, but at the last minute (at the reception) decided we wanted to. Dave asked if we had a song in mind, made the announcement, and got it going in no time at all, you wouldn’t have even known it wasn’t planned! I cannot stress enough how wonderful he was as our DJ. The front of the DJ booth was digital and even had our names in a design we chose! I hadn’t seen that before, and everyone loved it! In addition, he also has a high quality sound system, provided his insurance info, and created us a song edit as our first dance song was a little long for us!
