Are you kidding me Drew!!! We COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU! Unbelievable wedding. Nothing but showering of reviews from our guests about the music and flow of the evening.
The ceremony music was on-point. Nothing ever skipped or cut out. Breaking in the action to announce toasts came at the perfect time.
Being able to break our tables to go to get food in our buffet line??? I can't exactly say that was your job. Thank you!!!
Finally, great communication. Awesome personality. Positive momentum. Very professional and easy to work with.
Can't wait to dance/interact with Drew

Drew was such an incredible DJ for my wedding. He is so easy going and very flexible to work with. I wanted to plan a surprise song to sing to my husband and Drew was great working with all the last minute changes. I had two friends accompanying me, one with a ukulele who needed a music stand. So we had to sneak on a music stand and an additional microphone without my husband noticing, and it went so smoothly. He had no idea!!! My husband said when I sang the surprise song, it was one of his favorite moments from the wedding. Drew kept the dance floor hopping. Great song selections. He really

Drew was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was recommended to us by our day of coordinator and it is obvious why. He was prepared, easy to work with, and created an amazing dance party! He listened to our music tastes and also changed things up during the night to please the crowd, even taking requests! If you are looking for a straight forward, professional DJ, that knows how throw a good party Drew is your guy!

Drew is an outstanding DJ and all around enjoyable person to work with. He was recommended to us by a friend and we will certainly be doing the same for others. Deciding to work with Drew for our wedding was one of the best choices we made. He took the time to have an introductory meeting with us to gain an understanding of what we were looking for and explain his background and style. One thing we wanted was a consistent dance party and Drew not only made this happen without any lulls, but mixed in music that had all ages happy they could participate. In addition, Drew was very accommodating with

Drew is an incredible DJ! He's also an awesome guy to work with. We had the best time working through songs and the vibe we wanted to create for our wedding this past July. Drew helped ensure what we wanted was executed and also helped MC the event, which was tremendously helpful. We highly recommend working with Drew for any DJ events you need. He has an amazing ear and truly feels music in his soul. Thanks again Drew!

We hired Drew for our recent wedding after attending a friend's wedding and based on her recommendations. One of the best decisions ever! Drew was easy to work with, always responsive through email and called us a week before the wedding to discuss details. Although he had never been to our venue before, he got there 2 hrs ahead of time to set up and scope out the place and you would have never even known he hadn't worked there before. He not only is a DJ but also helped keep us on track throughout the night and acted as emcee (super helpful as we did not have an official venue day of

Drew is as good as it gets! He was super easy to work with, very responsive and clear in communication. From the first meeting my husband and I felt like we were in very good hands. Drew's passion for music showed during our wedding because he was able to read the crowd and get the party going all the way until the end of the night. We hired a wedding coordinator and it was her first time woking with Drew. Once she took over communicating with Drew, they handled everything so effortlessly that it was as if they both knew each other and worked together for years. What is best about Drew

Drew was the DJ for my wife and I's wedding this past month and we could not be happier! He was so easy to work with and helpful from the beginning. We had an initial meeting as soon as I had reached out to him, and then he stayed in touch periodically up until the week of the wedding. He accommodated all of our requests and gave ideas when we couldn't come up with something. We had a phone meeting the week before our wedding to review all of our choices and to make sure everything was correct. At the wedding, he was flexible and able to set up in the time we were given. He did a great

Drew was recommended to us by two separate friends who hired him as their DJ for their wedding. The minute we sat down with him for the initial meet and greet (about 6 months prior to our wedding) we knew it was going to be a great fit! He's very easy to communicate with, very personable and has a ton of experience in the field. He provides great advice on song selections if needed and was supportive of the songs we chose as well! Our guitar player, who was to play during the ceremony, backed out a week before the wedding and Drew was quick to the rescue and able to provide the music we needed

Drew was absolutely amazing to work with!!! I had been recommended to use him by two of my friends, who also used him at their weddings and were very pleased. I can now see why! The entire process was very smooth with Drew. He is a genuinely great person, and an awesome DJ who knows how to keep the party going :) Would highly recommend for any event. Extremely priced well too... looked around and no one could even compete with his pricing. A+!

We were so lucky to have found Drew on yelp when we were looking for a DJ. After countless emails back and forth with DJs in the Seattle area, we were overwhelmed and nervous about hiring one. Some you don't even meet until the week of your wedding... but not Drew. We reached out to Drew via email, and set up an in person meeting over the summer. He came to the meeting prepared with a DJ form that he uses full of all sorts of stuff we hadn't begun to think about. He was very easy-going and low pressure about booking (which

Our group of friends heads to the Mandarin Gate about once a month for karaoke, and Drew is the reason why. He's the perfect karaoke host--fun, positive, keeps the energy up, and if you need a little help on a song, he jumps right in to give you some support. We always have a great time and look forward to returning.

I can highly recommend Drew. He is a great DJ and host. He worked with me to figure out my musical tastes and what others at the wedding would enjoy. I was very particular about not having generic wedding songs and not too many slow dances. We went over songs I wanted to definitely hear or not hear. During the wedding he was great and kept me and my friends dancing to the wee hours! In addition I have also attended two other weddings where he was the DJ and they were a very different style from mine - mine was nearly all adults and mostly in their 30's vs having a huge wedding with tons

Where do I begin? Well, we hired Drew for our wedding last weekend, based not only on reviews from Yelp but also from friends and having been at a wedding that Drew DJ'd several years ago. From the start, we were impressed with Drew's professionalism and honesty. If you're looking for a sullen hip DJ to stand in the corner, looking cool, Drew isn't it. He's lively, involved, and just a cool guy.
As for the event, he didn't disappoint. He played the perfect music for each portion of the cocktail hour and reception, and once the dancing started, he was on the floor

Drew is professional, dependable, organized, calm, fun, and great at his craft! He really made our wedding day wonderful...from the ceremony music, cocktail hour and dinner music, first dance recommendations and then getting the party going and everyone on the dance floor! I really can't say enough about how helpful Drew was before our wedding day and during. He worked with all our other vendors and really made the day go smooth and on schedule. We highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for a great DJ for their special event!

AMAZING!! Drew has a heart of gold and is an amazing DJ!! He DJ'ed our wedding and we could not be more happy! He had everyone dancing all night long and was on top of everything. He kept everything on schedule, during the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Drew to anyone and everyone. We had majority age 22-35 and EVERYONE was dancing and having a blast. He MADE our wedding what it was and I cannot tell you how WONDERFUL he is! He is truly the nicest, most professional and a top notch guy! Such a pleasure to work with! His reviews don't lie.. he is as good as it gets!!! THANKS

Drew is as good as it gets. My wife and I got married in September here in Seattle and wanted to keep each little detail local & low key. Drew was both. He was genuine & professional throughout the entire planning process and made sure to iron out each detail with us before the big day.
He was spot on @ both our service & our reception. He played all of the songs we requested and kept the overall tone of our wedding (Motown/Soul) in check.
The right music & energy can make a wedding. Drew will bring both to any event.
Thanks Again DJ Doughboy ,

My wife and I got married this past August, and by far the best vendor we dealt with was Drew. Hands down.
We had gotten a recommendation from friends & family about Drew and we were excited to work with him based on the reviews we had already heard. Our first consultation was thorough and easy-going. Drew asked us several questions about what type of music we were into, what kind of a party we were trying to have, and I could really tell he was trying to get to know who we were so that he could deliver an awesome time. He did.

My husband and I were married July, 2011, and choosing Drew as our wedding DJ was one of the very best decisions we made.
My husband and I had absolutely no clue where to begin with wedding music. Had we been left to our own devices, our poor guests probably would have been bombarded by some strange hybrid of Eagles and Journey meeting Barenaked Ladies and Paula Abdul. Let's just say, it wouldn't have been pretty.
Drew sat down with us before the wedding to plan out music for the whole evening. Processional, Recessional, Dinner background music, Cake Cutting Music etc etc etc. Drew
