DJ Sir Edgar

We hired DJ Sir Edgar to play our wedding reception on 4÷30÷16 in Alameda. I found him to be very responsive and professional in all of our interactions. He also has extensive experience with weddings and was very helpful during our planning process. I wanted different styles of music during different parts of the reception and sent him a list of bands as reference. I trusted that he’d make a great playlists and he did! He also kept things on track during the reception with announcements (toasts, buffet, etc) and easily dealt with minor changes to the timeline. It was a pleasure working with him and I would definitely do so again for future events.

I was lucky enough to be referred to Sir Edgar from a friend. He beat all our expectations.
1) he started the party and kept it going from beginning to end. his playlist speaks for itself. I would honestly hire him just for this. He is the BEST DJ I have ever seen. So many guests came up to my husband and I to tell us how great the music was. we had a true dance party. no cheesy music. I really think the music was the best part of our wedding (after getting married of course).
2) he is professional. from the beginning he helped set up a time line for us, sent us a clear contract, made the payment process so easy. there were no surprises. He had mics set up for us. he came early.
3) great personality, super genuine, and always smiles.
I am so thankful we got to work with him.

I don’t often leave 5 star reviews but in this case it is justified.
Edgar was very professional. Got some input from us before the wedding on music choices. Was able to adjust to the venue and timing restrictions.
The event went off flawlessly and we couldn’t be happier. Most important, everyone was on the dancefloor till the venue kicked us out!

I hired DJ Sir Edgar for my wedding in Half Moon Bay. He exceeded my expectations! I got so many compliments on the music selection and had such a great dance party!!! We had guests fill out «marriage advice cards» and one of the feedback from a guest was «DJ WAS ON POINT!!!»
I met with him 10 months prior to the wedding and we discussed what I had in mind. What impressed me the most was before he gave me a quote, he did some research on my venue (2 locations) and asked me about the logistics. For example, how long would it take between both locations, which ballroom I was using, how I could set up a speaker. I’m the type to plan details in advanced so I was pleased he was asking those questions. The quote he gave me was more accurate because we had sorted out those details early on.
Jump ahead 10 months later, I completely forgot most details because it had been so long. Sir Edgar was very organized and was able to remind me what we had agreed. I was so happy that most of the logistics were sorted out. (It really saved me some time the month of the wedding!) I coordinated with him with my reception schedule and music selections. Even though both of us were VERY BUSY, he still managed to pull off a flawless reception.
Overall, DJ Sir Edgar and his assistant was wonderful and pleasant to work with. He made some good recommendations and seemed to «get» what i wanted. I can tell he is very mindful and pays attention to the details. I also had him MC my wedding (very minimal basic stuff). I did not want someone too cheesy. He was able to make announcements enthusiastically which is all I needed. I’d hire DJ Sir Edgar again for any events and will recommend him to all my friends.

DJ Sir Edgar is the best.
Seriously! This is why he has such high reviews.
We hired DJ Sir Edgar for our wedding on May 16, 2015. He was soo easy to work with and down to earth. Hands down one of our favorite people we hired for our wedding. He was very responsive to us and accommodating to our weird nocturnal shift schedules when we would meet. During the meeting, he really gets a feel of how you are. He listens to you and takes notes.
Day of the wedding. We got a little behind schedule, but he made sure to check in with us and make sure everything on his end was smooth. He got a lot of my family and friends to dance at the end of the night. I’d call you crazy if you didn’t hire him :)

We had Sir Edgar at our wedding in Palmdale Estates in Fremont. He was easy to work with, professional, approachable, and everything was setup how we wanted it. Everything went smooth, he adapted the timeline as needed as we took a longer dinner than planned, and setup the projector for the slideshow with no issues on lighting or sound. Music was of course great! But most importantly he always had a smile on and seemed to love what he was doing. We would hire him again.

I’m going to pile on with all the other good reviews, but DJ Sir Edgar deserves it, especially given the challenge we threw his way.
My wife and I got married this past Saturday at the Presidio in San Francisco. Our families couldn’t be more different. My «super caucasian» family loves the tried and true wedding music and poppy pop dance music. My wife’s family loves the R&B, hip hop, more trendy pop, etc. And for the most part, our friends aren’t big dancers. Edgar and I had a quick conversation before the party and I basically told him, «Good luck.»
He didn’t need it. He had EVERYONE dancing the entire night. Literally from the time the music started until we kicked people out, the dance floor was packed. Our only regret was ordering too small a dance floor (18×21 for 150 person wedding)… but it didn’t matter. People just started dancing on the carpet. The music was varied but upbeat, fun, and kept everyone going. I even had a few guests joke that they were exhausted from dancing so much, but never wanted to leave the dance floor.
My wife handled the fees but said he was fairly priced among all the quotes she got as well. As far as I’m concerned, he was a steal for the quality. Well done, Edgar.

DJ Edgar was amazing at my small wedding. His music selection was awesome, I got multiple compliments from my friends. He also helped MC and was great at setting a fun, positive tone. I gave a pretty detailed schedule and he was on it, not a flaw.
From conversations with him, I was impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, and his knowledge about different Asian cultures. I highly recommend him!

DJ Sir Edgar. He gets it. He has no ego and its not about him at all. I gave him a 100 things to do. Play top 40, play early nines hip hop, no music with swearing, lots of persian music, no slow music and my high maintenance list went on and on.
He delivered on all of that and then some all while being the most personable and easy vendor i worked with for my wedding. If my list of wants was not long enough, i should also mention i got married in SF City Hall which has a bad reputation for bad acoustics. The sound was also perfect!
He and John V. another fabulous DJ played the most incredible set of early 90’s hip top with all my favorite top 40 of today. On top of playing some of the best music ever he mixed in Persian music. Persian Brides who want persian music but don’t want the entire night to be persian music this is YOUR GUY! He felt the crowd out, took requests when appropriate and literally was smiling the entire time. I had multiple vendors tell me he was their favorite person to work with at the wedding.
I would hire, recommend, and work with him again in a heartbeat! Hire him no regrets.

Looked all over for a reasonable DJ to host a private party at a local restaurant on short notice. Searched and searched on Unilocal and finally found Sir Edgar. He was super reasonable and willing to book us with only about a week in advance!
The music was great! He played some old school stuff with a mix of new school, perfect for our little party and the mixture of people it had.
Thanks again for a great experience and the professionalism maintained throughout the event!

Had a great time with DJ Sir Edgar at our event!
Super easy to work with and helpful in the process of piecing together the music for our party. He’s got real DJ equipment and knows how to mix well (I used to DJ at parties but not professionally). He adjusted well to the list of genres and desired music selections we had and pieced them together to keep the dance floor moving! A professional all the way.

Edgar is super flakey and is not a true professional. I had serious problems trying to book him so we eventually gave up after squabbling over fees/​deposits. He is an ok DJ but he doesn’t really mix. He did our friends wedding and we danced. However, most of his stuff was premixed. So… he is really a gloried iTunes play list already pre-​mixed.

We first discovered DJ Sir Edgar at a friend’s wedding in 2013. Even though we weren’t engaged yet, we took his business card anyway. He was that awesome. And as soon as we DID get engaged, Edgar was the first vendor we hired.
Throughout the planning process, Edgar was great – he got our vision immediately and made really great suggestions. On the day of the wedding, he didn’t miss a beat. He and his partner set up and ran the audio for our ceremony, handled all the MC duties, and managed the photo booth. And when it came time for dancing, he was absolutely incredible – he had everyone dancing during his entire set, and he worked in all of our «must have» songs. He takes a lot of pride in unique sets he creates for each wedding, and it really shows.
You honestly can’t go wrong with Edgar.

We hired DJ Sir Edgar for our annual corporate event! It was a huge event with over 800 people. We hired over 13 vendors to make this event successful and Edgar was by far the easiest to work with. He was super responsive from the very first email I sent him! He jumped through hoops by making changes to his contract to satisfy our legal departments wishes. He was friendly, professional, prompt, and sharp! He understood everything we wanted and the vibe we were going for! We gave him a few songs as a sample and Edgar filled in the holes with a great selection of music! He was also a great emcee! We gave him a general timeline and he took care of all the announcements and giveaways! He played an integral part of our day! I would recommend Edgar for any event or wedding!

We hired DJ Sir Edgar to work an event at my company and he was fantastic! He played the exact music needed for our audience and at the end of the night, the #1 comment was «the DJ was fantastic!» From start to finish, he was completely professional. We specifically hired him for his MC skills and he delivered.
I highly recommend him for corporate events!

Edgar was absolutely fantastic at my wedding. I’m so happy that our last minute decision to have a dj (turns out picking music is kinda hard) led us to him.
We met at our venue and thoroughly discussed what we wanted to do about 2 weeks before the event. Edgar had a lot of really good input and we went with some of his ideas. On the day of event, he blew everyone away. As you can imagine, we had a few generations of people at our wedding and everyone was equally happy. He played something for everyone and just made things flow so well throughout the evening, I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you Edgar!!!

Edgar was great. We had our wedding in August at the Fairmont and he was able to work with the venue to make sure we didn’t have to worry about anything.
When we first met him, he asked a bunch of good questions and we really liked him. We met him in Oakland, downtown.
Once we decided to move forward with him, he gave us a very easy to fill out questionnaire for the music selection for the wedding. We even answered with some vague «play songs that sound like XXXXXX for the reception». He did wonderful!
Also, made sure he got everyone’s name correctly before introducing. This was a nice professional touch. We’d seriously consider DJ Edgar again for any thing we did that required a DJ!

We did not meet Edgar until the day of the wedding. We were a little nervous, since all the communication was through email only. But Edgar rocked the wedding. All the request that we made, such as song selection, introductions, MC, all exceeded expectations. He even took unusual song requests (college theme song) from the audience and played the song!
Overall, he was amazing and all of our wedding guests had nothing but great things to say about Edgar. I definitely would recommend him to future couples. Thanks Edgar!

It pains me to be Sir Edgar’s first negative review, but I wanted to share my story as a heads up to other brides/​grooms.
We set up a meeting with Sir Edgar because we wanted to meet him before the wedding, even though we were ready to book him on Unilocal reviews alone. He asked us to go all the way out to Fremont to meet near where he lives. We requested he meet us half way, but he insisted we go all the way to him.
When we got there he asked a lot of good questions and we really liked him. We told him we had a check with us and wanted to book him, but he decided to wait until that moment to tell us another couple was holding that date with him.
He knew he was probably booked on our date and he still made us drive 2 hours on a weeknight. When I emailed him to express our frustration he only got defensive and didn’t apologize. My advice to San Francisco couples is to insist on having Sir Edgar at least come to meet you in the city so if he ends up wasting your time, at least you can save yourself the bridge toll and gas.

We got five-​star DJing and five-​star customer service from DJ Sir Edgar for our May 2012 wedding at Sebastiani Vineyards. Unfortunately, the photo booth services justified only a two-​star ranking – thus the composite four-​star update.
First of all, Edgar and his assistant Rocky did a great job throughout the night playing quality music and being attentive to our needs. The music for our outdoor ceremony, our cocktail hour, and our reception was just what we had asked for. The transition from area to area to area was seamless. Edgar did a fantastic job of blending in to our wonderful evening and making the night memorable for us.
Our only qualm was with the quality of the photobooth pictures, which were unfortunately either unfathomably blurry, much too dark, or both. We had expected the same A+ quality from the photobooth images as we did from the DJ services. Quite simply, it was nowhere close.
Ex post facto, Edgar was incredibly easy to work with and gave us many offers to help rectify the situation. He and Rocky worked hard to retouch every photo, remail new copies, and provide the originals for us to update. We really did appreciate all his efforts to make things right, and we applaud that commitment to customer service.
I would absolutely recommend DJ Sir Edgar for audio services, but do caution that his photobooth services could use significant improvement.
