    Sam Houdek Rocks!

    From our first conversation, Dart Collective (specifically Sam Houdek!) made it clear they understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. They were responsive and straightforward to work with, which took so much stress out of the planning process. What really impressed us was how they brought the party without needing us to micromanage every detail—they just knew how to read the room and keep our guests engaged all night long. Their rates were competitive compared to other DJs we looked at, and honestly, the energy and professionalism they delivered was worth every penny. We'd absolutely recommend Dart Collective to any couple looking for a DJ that will make their reception unforgettable.

    Dart collective review

    My husband and I are big music lovers and prioritized music for our big day and dart did not disappoint! They were extremely communicative and made sure the music was exactly what we envisioned. Everyone has been telling us it’s the best wedding music they’ve ever heard and no one left the dance floor. We also had a saxophonist and he was extremely professional the day of.

    Wedding DJ Brooklyn NY

    Working with Sam, Marco, and Julian was so seamless and easy. We really wanted to avoid a DJ that played tired 'wedding' music and actually created a fun night of dancing with our millennial Brooklyn crowd. We vibed with Sam immediately on intake meeting, who even 'scouted' our venue to confirm the existing audio setup worked (helping us save some on rentals). Coordinating with Marco and working with DJ Julian on the day-of was a breeze and delivered exactly the energy we had hoped for. Couldn't recommend enough!

    HIRE THEM!

    Dart's service is so professional and their DJs have great taste. They are ON IT: great communication and really honored our music choices throughout the night. DJ Jordan crushed it.

    All bangers

    We enjoyed every interaction we had with the Dart Collective team leading up to our wedding. On the day we had Will and Jessie and they were fantastic! The dance floor was full all night long and multiple guests complemented the music afterwards.
