Dart DJ

My husband and I used Dart DJ for our wedding in September. I cannot say enough great things about them. We are both really into music and wanted DJs that played music that fit our style (indie rock, 70s, funk, etc) and weren’t tied to Top 40. After the first call with Jesse I was sold. Yes, their prices are maybe a bit higher than other DJs, but for us the cost was worth every penny. The dance floor at our wedding was crowded the entire night and several of our guests commented on how great the DJs were. I highly recommend Dart DJ!

Dart DJ’s were fantastic! Jesse was great helping to coordinate DJ’s for our Wedding. Our guests loved the playlist and the DJ’s were so much fun. I would defiantly recommend Dart to anyone planning an event or in need of a DJ for their wedding! Thanks Jesse!

We loved Dart DJ! From the very beginning Jesse was very communicative and organized. We had a quick call with Aaron, our DJ, prior to our event to ensure he knew what we wanted from a music standpoint. The team was attentive and everyone was dancing all night! Thanks Jesse and team! We highly recommend Dart DJ for your wedding or party.

I am extremely opinionated about music, as is my now husband. We are music snobs, there, I said it. So much so, that we spent a TON of time researching bands and DJs for our October 2015 wedding.
We stumbled upon Dart DJ and we are so happy that we did! Jesse was quick to communicate openly and directly, made working with Dart a breeze. We used them for the dinner and party and they worked smoothly to change locations from outside to inside throughout the night. This was the least stressful vendor that we worked with and in our opinions, one of the very most important.
My husband and I sent over some songs that we knew we wanted for specific moments in the wedding, asked for suggestions and ultimately said «you do you» to them. Dinner music was totally appropriate and added a sophisticated flair to the evening.
The party was SO much fun, they listened to our suggestions and made the party look and feel so polished and fluid. Their timing is spot-​on and they are amazing at reading a crowds’ mood. One of my favorite memories of the wedding was watching my (old) family members dance like crazy. My retired father even said that he had so much fun dancing, he now wants to take a class– how cute is that?
We also worked with an SF band, Gaucho, for the ceremony and cocktail hour. At one point, Gaucho was not playing music when they should have been and Dart was quick to fill in and play music during the cocktail hour.
Highly recommend, they are hip, easy to work with, and will show your wedding guests a REALLY fun time. I hope I find another opportunity to work with the Dart crew again!

We had two dudes from DJ Dart work our wedding and it was a dance party success. Everyone burned over 1,000 calories. The dj’s were friendly and accommodating to my friends requesting all their silly songs. I’d would hire them again in a flash and I would recommend you calling them now to book your event! Their music selection is unique and so danceable. The only thing I would mention is that it got a little too loud for our small room but I should have stepped up and told them to lower it a tad for the old folks. Not a big deal! Great job to you and your team.

We used Dart DJ for our wedding reception in SF a few weeks ago and they were great! The guys played some of the songs we had given them beforehand and said we loved, were on point with their selections that were «in the family» of the stuff we said we liked, and did a really good job of reading the crowd and changing things up at just the right time if they were losing the crowd. For our first dance we didn’t want to dance to the whole song (too long) and asked them to start X seconds in and cut it off at min X. I had been pretty nervous about this but it went as planned! They also served as our MCs for the evening and did a great job with that. I’ll also say that communication leading up to the wedding with Jesse was great. He was super responsive and I had no doubts that we’d be good to go come the day of the wedding.

We loved Dart DJ for our wedding in Sonoma. They were easy to a hold of throughout the planning process and listened to all of our ideas and requests. They were also very flexible when we made some last minute adds and changes. One thing that I run into often when attending other weddings is a poor sound system. It can really put a damper on the ceremony and speeches when the mics are crackling or low, but the sound quality was perfect for everything. We couldn’t have asked for better!

Dart DJ did our wedding in August 2015 and we could not have been happier with them. Their playlist was amazing and made the evening even more incredible. They also helped us cut some songs down for some of our dances and were just so accommodating, warm, friendly, and communicative. We highly recommend them!!!

UPDATE: Jesse from Dart DJ was kind enough to reach out to me and express what I felt was a pretty genuine apology. I’ve modified the review slightly to better reflect the result of that conversation, but the substance of it remains the same.
My wife and I used Dart DJ for our wedding two weeks ago. I wanted to allow some time to pass before writing this review, so as to be as objective as possible.
While nearly all of the vendors were fantastic and either met or exceeded our expectations, this wasn’t the case for Dart DJ:
1) Their prices were considerably higher than many of the other quotes we received for the same service;
2) We were given the impression, based on our initial consultation, and the sample music they have available from their website, that they wouldn’t be simply playing music from some a playlist — anyone can do that — but that at the very least there’d be *some* sampling involved, let alone, transitions between songs, otherwise, what do they need turntables for? This requirement was apparently not made explicitly clear to them;
3) When the recessional began for our ceremony, there was a super long, awkward delay for the recessional music to begin while my wife and I waited in silence, as did the rest of our guests. Not the end of the world but it felt like a rookie move.
Initially I thought issues #2 and #3 were really noticeable to just my wife and I, but both family and friends voiced similar gripes afterwards, particularly about issue #2.
None of this diminished how awesome our day turned out, and people definitely had fun dancing during the reception (an open bar can help). And maybe not everyone needs to have great music being spun at their wedding, or to have exemplary service prior to and after the event, but if that’s the case, you can find a cheaper option.

Our original wedding DJ cancelled on us weeks before our wedding. In a panic, I let my wedding planner know, and she immediately recommended Dart DJ. We reached out to Jesse and he was extremely friendly and reassuring that they would be able to work with us even with such short notice. He had a contact sent over within 30 minutes of our phone call, and had us fill out a music map with our favorite dance songs. It was extremely important to us that we got the most dancing time out of our reception, and the two DJs at our event kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! It was so hard leaving the dance floor to go mingle because every song that they played was fantastic. People of all age groups danced the night away, and they even played an encore for us, which I greatly appreciated. The DJs were professional and kept on schedule. Their setup is extremely professional and I loved the use of vinyl (we are total audiophiles). They played a great mix of oldies and new music, and everyone had a great time. Thank you, Dart, for coming on board at the last minute and making our wedding so memorable!

My wife and I had a serious problem when trying to find a DJ: She likes pop and I like industrial, and it can often be difficult for us to find a middle ground. Jesse from Dart DJ assured us they could strike a perfect balance, and he was right!
We had Dart DJ our January 1^st wedding in Mill Valley, and despite being the day after a big night for DJ’s, they delivered without a hitch. They wired up the ceremony for sound, had a mobile setup for patio cocktail hour, and did an awesome set on the dance floor that both myself and my wife approved of! Jesse and Wyatt were extremely friendly, and we’d definitely hire them again for our next event in need of dancing.
