Dart DJ

Loved Dart DJ! My wife & I hired them for our wedding. I chose them based off of their Unilocal reviews & vendor recommendations from Instagram. Jesse & his team were on it from the beginning! My biggest upfront concern was that we would be technically successful since our wedding was at a new venue (their first wedding!). Jesse did a walkthrough & thorough tech check with the management per my request which put me at ease. They made sure we were all set sounding good for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had. In terms of music, we were a bit specific with our taste (80s New Wave, 90s Hip Hop) & provided inspirational playlists by which their DJs pulled from. The crowd was grooving the whole time & everything went flawlessly thanks to Dart DJ!

My husband and I chose Dart DJ for our wedding reception and we have absolutely no regrets. We met with other DJs, but it was clear that Dart DJ was the best. We have been to so many weddings and all of the music is the same and there is always a corny MC telling bad jokes. That’s not Dart at all. These guys know their stuff and they are super talented.
Since we live out of state we had to coordinate via email and Skype, which can be challenging. But Jesse and his Dart team were responsive, professional and very easy to work with. Their comprehensive music map helped us organize our night, and it was flawless.
We had a small wedding with a good mix of younger and older guests, and I was nervous that the dance floor would be empty. But Dart did an awesome job of reading the room and really getting our guests involved and EVERYONE (even my 80 year old grandma) was on the dance floor. It was incredible how much the playlist was tailored to us — I can’t tell you how many conversations with our guests I had to cut short because they were playing «our song» all night long. The DJs turned down requests that we had specifically put on our «Do Not Play» list, which we so appreciated
Music is such an important part of a wedding, and Dart DJ really went above and beyond. We had such a blast and highly recommend Dart DJ for any event.

If you know what is good for you, you will book Dart DJ for your wedding or event. They are the best.
For my husband and I, the main thing we wanted for our wedding was a huge dance party and Dart DJ came through on our wish. Jesse is great to work with leading up to the day and made me feel at ease. At the wedding everyone of our guests danced and so many of them were raving about how fun the music was. The DJs in the dart crew are so talented.
Now, I’m trying to think of excuses to throw another party, so I can hire Dart DJ again.

I cannot recommend DJ Dart enough. They were easy to work with throughout the planning process. We have them a list of songs and they translated that into an incredible playlist that both satisfied my husband’s music snob tastes and kept the dance floor active all night long.

I feel like I’m just going to echo all the accolades of others, but here it goes anyway!
We had such a wonderful experience with Dart DJs. We actually heard them at a friend’s wedding, which is why we decided to book. They were so awesome at our friend’s wedding that we didn’t even look around, we just emailed, got a quote and booked!
We sent them a few mp3s of particular song versions we wanted to dance to (for key moments, like walking down the aisle). They also sent us a dropbox link the week before the wedding so that we could verify they had the correct versions for each key moment in the ceremony/​reception (like processional, recessional, first dance, cake cutting, etc.). It really set our mind at ease that each of those songs (which were important to us) would be played the way we wanted. The cuing of each of them was seamless.
We also sent a list of songs beforehand to give them a sense of our musical taste. They played many of those songs and selected additional ones to fit with the vibe. I would say they matched perfectly. Many people commented on the awesome music selection at our wedding (which we have excellent taste of course, but Dart supplemented it beautifully :) One of their mixes was so great, my husband requested a copy of it after the ceremony so that we could remember it (which they so wonderfully obliged — thanks guys!).
They were also incredibly professional, on time, and really easy to work with. I also received several comments on how cute our DJ was. Not a reason to pick one of course, but the ladies were very impressed regardless.
Book these guys! You won’t regret it!

Our wedding was a non-​stop dance party, thanks to Dart DJ! Everybody danced all night long at our backyard wedding, including 4-​year olds, my 89 year old grandmother and everybody in between. Some people told me that our wedding was the most dancing they’ve ever done in their lives at one time. Others told me it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding. Dart DJ accommodated our eclectic international music taste and made the evening seamless, stress-​free, and oh-​so-​much-​fun!
We must have looked at 20 different DJs. Dart DJ came highly recommended to us by friends who had attended several weddings in the area. We worked closely with Jesse during the planning phase and he was really easy to work with. DJ’s Tim and Chris were amazing and very professional. My brother-​in-​law also chose Dart DJ for their smaller wedding (~100 instead of our ~180) and it was another incredible dance party (with different DJs). You can’t go wrong with Dart DJ.

Dart DJ was the DJ at our wedding and we can’t recommend them enough! We had a relatively small wedding but we wanted everyone to dance. We chose Dart because they had good reviews — and we thought the console table was rad and perfect for our Palm Springs event. From the first song, the music was perfect and they had everyone dancing all night. The guys were awesome!

Dart DJ crushed it. From the vinyl spinning to the non-​stop dace-​party they cultivated, they helped bring our wedding to life and got everyone on the dance floor from the get-​go. Professional and polite and helpful and on top of all the stages of a wedding, Spencer the MC walked us through the afternoon flawlessly.
Can’t thank them enough for just nailing it. Totally super-​open to any song suggestions toward the end of the night and put us out on a high-​note!
I’d recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks Dart DJ.

My wife and I decided to use Dart DJ for our wedding after hearing great things from people we trusted. Our expectations were far surpassed as Dart was probably the best vendor we had the pleasure of working with — and it was a great team all around.
Everyone at the company clearly cared about the day and our experience. They were beyond prompt in their responses, detail oriented in how the day was run, and providing great insight throughout the process as the «party» aspect of the affair was really important to us.
The entire Dart team was extremely professional and it seems like a really well run company. Can’t speak highly or recommend them enough.

These guys ROCK! After listening to what felt like 100 DJs for my wedding that was two weeks ago we were told recommended Dart. We listened to the mixes from them for all of 30 minutes before we decided they were perfect!
We gave them a pretty crazy list of songs to play from hip hop to Hall and Oats and they mixed them together in an epic fashion. Everyone danced til they dropped and and i still cant feel my toes. Even though that may have been due to wearing 6 inch heels all night, i like to think its because i danced for 4 hours straight (i didn’t even leave the dance floor for dessert)!
I will recommend these guys to anyone that ask — Jesse, Chris and Wyatt were the best — Epic night guys! We are still getting comments on how awesome the music was. THANK YOU! :-)

You want a full-​on dance party where everyone is having the best time ever? Hire Dart DJ!
My husband and I hired Dart DJ for our wedding in early Sept 2015 at the Fig House. DJ’s Eric and Wyatt killed it! Our guests hit the dance floor, including people I’ve never seen dance before. They played a fun range of music and afterward I had people telling and texting me how much they loved the music that was played.
Dart DJ was so easy to work with. They had sent us a music map to complete in advance. We had requested certain genres during guest arrivals, cocktail hour, and dinner, which they were able to fulfill. Jesse, whom we worked with during the entire planning process, was super responsive, detailed, and friendly.
Another thing we loved is Dart DJ’s super cool custom wood console. (
) It was so on point with the look we were going for, and it worked well with the venue environment.
Thanks Jesse and team — great working with you!

My wife and I hired Dart DJ for our wedding and we could not be more pleased with them. There was none of the typical wedding DJ schmaltz and they tailored the music selection to our tastes excellently. They were great to work with.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ (unless schmaltz is your thing.)

Highly recommend these guys! They know their music! We first heard them at our friends wedding and instantly knew we wanted them at our wedding which took place at the Fairmont Miramar Bungalows in Santa Monica. They go through a music mapping process to ensure they understand the type of sound you want at your event. Both DJ’s were very accommodating and helped us set up mics for the ceremony and vows. They even helped MC and make announcements and helped out with the game we had planned. We worked with Jesse to coordinate the wedding details and Ian and Evan were our DJs. All around very friendly cool guys that acted very professionally. Very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Dart DJ is where it’s at if you are looking for great music for your wedding. From the moment we reached out to Dart they were responsive and accommodating. Jesse was amazing and answered all of our emails and returned our phone calls promptly. We really enjoyed the opportunity to have a chance to sit down with the DJ’s, talk music and give them a sense of what music we were into.
Our wedding had a ton of rain and nothing happened the way we planned it originally, however, the music kept everyone moving and they made it work despite the weather conditions. We were lucky enough to have Chris and Dent be our DJ’s and our guests were dancing the entire night. If you want DJ’s who excel at being professional and playing excellent music, this is the only place you need to look. My wife and I could not be more pleased with our experience.

My partner and I just got married about a month ago and we couldn’t be happier that we hired Dart DJ for our wedding. We corresponded with Jesse regarding wedding details and provided a musical map for the event outlining our tastes, likes/​dislikes, etc. Jesse is a complete pleasure to communicate with. He’s very professional and responsive, as well as a super talented musician in his own right. I knew we were in good hands because I’m a big fan of the Dart DJ’s style and other projects Kisses & Classixx.
Dan & Spencer were our Dart DJs for the night and they were so cool & awesome to interact with the entire night. Above all they completely got our tastes. We are music aficionados with pretty eclectic and obscure tastes. They blew me away when they played one of my more obscure requests Sandra de Sá on vintage vinyl. I’m still coveting that record! The night was magical because of the music. They know how to read the room and get everyone dancing. Even my dad who doesn’t dance, danced the night away with my mom — truly a memory I’ll never forget.
Bottom line, we couldn’t recommend Dart DJ more. They have incredible taste, are super professional, a pleasure to interact with, and all around a class act. The absolute best.

My husband and I love Dart DJ. We reached out to them about our wedding after having spoken with a few slightly pushy, cheesy wedding DJs. We loved the diverse mixes on Dart’s website (stuff we could just put on and groove to), and after speaking with Jesse, we were decided.
From beginning to end, it was a complete pleasure to work with Dart DJ. Jesse is super responsive and friendly, and he was thoughtful enough to let us know when he was going to be out of the office for a bit and put us in touch with someone to contact in the interim. Every one of our conversations just left us feeling good and excited about our wedding.
As for the day of, they did a fabulous job keeping our wedding guests on the dance floor and were so accommodating when we had, unexpectedly, a small group of wedding attendees under the age of 10 make special «music requests.» Dart had us put together a music map sketching out pieces we enjoyed dancing to, prior to the event, and they did a great job working with that map as a starting point for the night, without adhering to it too literally (which is why we hired them!).
We couldn’t recommend Dart enough for anyone looking for a wedding DJ, but more, for anyone trying to avoid the stereotypical «wedding DJ.» They’re friendly, diverse in talent, fun, professional, the whole nine yards. In case it matters to you, they actually seem to love music – sounds strange, but what was really strange was talking to other wedding DJs who seemed like they hadn’t listened to a fresh piece in years and were mentally checked out. Not so with Dart.
We hope we can run into them again at another event soon!

My wife and I cannot sing higher praises for Dart DJ’s job on our wedding. All we kept hearing from our guests was «you had THE BEST wedding dance party EVER!!» Our DART DJ deejay, Aaron Castle, and his assistant Spencer killed it behind the turntables. It was clear that they understood our musical tastes (from our correspondence before the wedding) and they also read the vibe of the crowd. People that I didn’t know had hip bones were shaking them. The amount of sweat pouring off everyone could have saved the drought problem. It was magical. Aaron is a deejay I’d go out and see and luckily I can because he has a residency at Honeycut DTLA every Saturday night
In short… If you’re tired of the same old wedding playlist that leaves the dance floor empty. If you’re tired of cheesy ad libs coming from the DJ. If you’re tired of seeing your single Aunt shake it to Wobble with her eyes on the Groomsmen. Call Jesse at Dart DJ, he is the owner and was very responsive and easy to work with leading up to our event. You have enough hard decisions to make for your wedding, with Dart DJ, you’ve got your music covered.

Dart DJ made us look way cooler than we are :)
These guys are seriously the best. I was under the impression that all wedding DJs are cheesy and play typical songs. Dart DJ is anything but that. I fell hard for their retro turntable (aesthetics are important to me) and their eclectic sampling of work. I was already sold just looking at their site so it was icing on the cake to find out they’re also super nice, professional, and could work with our budget. Jesse, the owner, always responded to our emails quickly and understood my style even though I gave vague descriptions («uh… I like stuff they play on Morning Becomes Eclectic?»). Wyatt and Spencer, our DJs, were raved about by a lot of our guests. We appreciated them sticking to our playlist even when guests requested changes that didn’t match our style. They even stayed a little longer to play an extra song after the intended final one at our guests’ plea. It was a huge hit just like they were!

My husband and I just had Dart DJ work our wedding in Palm Springs. They were really great– from start to finish of the event we had everyone on the dance floor– the music and timing was immaculate, and the vibe was spot on. They know what they’re doing — we were and are very happy and we are also big fans. The process of working with them was very personalized. Jesse met with us to discuss likes and dislikes, and also just to meet us so we could put a face to their business– which was fantastic. They got a great feel for what kind of mood we were setting and everythign came out magically– honestly the music was hugely important and sets so much of the feel for what plays out at a wedding, a cocktail hour, and a reception… Dart nailed it. We are so grateful for their work.
Thank you!

We were very happy using Dart as our DJ for our recent wedding. They were recommended by our venue and showing up on blogs so it was one of the first decisions and best we made choosing our vendors. They are not a typical wedding DJ they create a much more current and hip atmosphere, DJ the mood of the night. I danced my butt off at my Wedding and it was the most fun I had all night!
Jesse who runs the business end met with us face to face over coffee and explained his services, he wasn’t our DJ but the 2 guys who were held up the brand. They also have great free playlists online to give you an idea of the sets, but they had us fill out a musical map to include our taste into the night. I am not so into music that I wanted to pick every song, so it was nice to send them a list of «this is the kind of stuff we like» and have them intemperate that into a great party!
They did announce things like the speeches and dinner, but VJing is not their strong point, although I was made aware of this so there were no surprises there, and I like that they don’t hang out on the mic.
Overall we got A LOT of compliments on the DJs and I think the biggest show of all was that the dance floor was always full of people having fun– which was my biggest goal for this event!
Highly recommend for any occasion!
