    The wedding of our dreams

    Drew was an exceptional DJ to work with. From the moment of booking, up until the moments before our ceremony, he was attentive, insightful, and engaging. Music and dancing were very important to us when planning our wedding and Drew delivered exactly what we had envisioned. We have received nothing but great feedback from all of our guests and the dance floor was never empty! I would recommend Crimson Events for anyone looking for an experienced DJ who knows how to capture your vision.

    Above & Beyond!

    Crimson Events was a breeze to work with from start to finish. Drew, the DJ, kept everything running smoothly and made the whole planning process feel effortless. He brought incredible energy to our reception and got everyone on the dance floor all night long. The photo booth he set up was a hit with our guests and gave us some hilarious memories to look back on. Drew really knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going, and his rates are fair for the quality you get. We'd absolutely hire him again and strongly recommend Crimson Events to any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making their day special.

    Fantastic Wedding DJ

    From our first conversation, Drew showed he genuinely cared about making our wedding day special. He stayed in touch with us constantly through multiple planning calls and a planning app, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. When we met with him at our final walk-through, it was clear they had paid attention to every detail we discussed. During the reception, he nailed the vibe we wanted by playing our song selections while seamlessly blending in tracks that kept the energy exactly where we needed it. Drew listened to what we wanted and delivered without compromise. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help us celebrate.

    Wow. What a party!

    We were absolutely thrilled with how our Drew tailored the music to the vibe of our crowd. He was super adaptive to every last-minute change, and honestly, his acoustic guitar sets for our ceremony and cocktail hour were just perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests, and he was truly a joy to work with.

    Perfect set

    Drew with Crimson events was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the first zoom meeting, to booking, to the night of the wedding, he really showed that he cared about making the day great. He provided sound systems including mics for ceremony and reception, we added string lighting to our dance floor, and he had up lighting for the dance floor that really made the space pop. He met with us at our venue for a 6 month walkthrough, which helped conceptualize the DJ capabilities. He also utilizes a planning app where you can upload all your music, which made the collaboration process super easy. We received many compliments from our guests about the good mix of oldies and new music. We really enjoyed working with Drew & would definitely work with him again in the future!
