Daniel did such a great job at our wedding on Friday! We heard tons and tons of compliments the next morning on how much fun his music was, and that everybody knew every song. =) He really kept the party going... I heard there was breakdancing while I was outside, and I am so sorry that I missed that. =)

Daniel also did the music for our ceremony, and was kind enough to review our choices and let us know what songs probably wouldn't work so well. He even edited down several songs, which we really appreciated.

Our coordinator even said how helpful he was during the set-up and tear down of the room; what a nice guy, too! We highly recommend him!

Disco Friend/Daniel is the absolute BEST DJ/MC to have at your wedding and ceremony.

Daniel is very professional and most important of all, experienced. Before getting into weddings he had industry experience of being a club DJ for many years so he knows how to get any crowd off their butts and he certainly did for ours. He has been doing weddings for years now so he is very knowledgeable on how songs effect the flow and feel of the event. He KNOWS his music. He was able to recommend songs of all genres and different periods from memory that set the tone for the various parts of our wedding. Not only is he a talented DJ but he was also able to make a custom mix of our recessional song and first dance song for us.

For our evening he provided a great MC voice. Daniel also had great equipment that provided the best acoustics for our venue.

Thank Daniel for making our night so memorable!

Daniel was wonderful!! Everyone raved about the music and the dance floor was never empty. Working with Daniel was so much fun, easy and entertaining. He really was able to read what we wanted even when we weren’t so clear on explaining it to him in the first place! From the monogram to the lighting and the ambiance, we could not be more pleased :) Thanks Daniel!

DJ Daniel Peterson was amazing! Music was really important to me and my family and we put a lot of time into looking into a classy and non-chessy wedding DJ. Daniel was perfect. He was professional, helpful, knows music inside and out, and he obviously loves what he does. My wedding dance floor was never empty and we all had the time of our life dancing. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

DJ Dan was FANTASTIC! I received numerous comments from our guests about the great party, music, and his perfect transitions. He also did a gorgeous job with the lighting. He suggested we end the night with an Italian love song (our honeymoon is in Italy) and the guests loved it. We also did a combination of slow and salsa dancing for our first song and he created a CD for us to practice. DJ Dan ranked first out of all our vendors, we strongly recommend him.

We almost didn’t hire a DJ. I was horrified at how expensive they were when I started researching. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized we needed someone that could emcee the wedding as well as keep the music going so I decided to make room in the budget for a DJ. Daniel was the only one we interviewed. I heard favorable reviews of him from someone people on The Knot and then heard his name again after another friend of mine met him. We clicked with Daniel right away and booked him on the spot. He is extremely responsive by email and phone. He is well versed in a variety of music styles and was able to come up with some awesome suggestions for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. Our group’s demographic was tough…neither of our families are really dancers and our friends – for the most part – aren’t into mainstream music. The age gaps were pretty significant too. However, Daniel was able to read the group and figure out what was keeping people on the dance floor. I was surprised and impressed when I saw every single one of the women in my family dancing at one point or another! The only hiccup was that there was some minor audio difficulties, but I suspect that may have had something to do with the venue and wasn’t necessarily Daniel’s equipment. In a nutshell, he was great! I have NO qualms about recommending him to others looking for a DJ.

My husband and I were married in June and we had an unforgettable wedding. Daniel was instrumental in making our special day such a great success! From the very beginning his professionalism and organization melted our stress away. He orchestrated every aspect of the event and gave us wonderful creative suggestions for fun and special touches. We truly could not have planned such a sensational wedding with out him. Daniel didn’t simply DJ the event, he hosted it. Everything flowed seamlessly and he had the dance floor packed for every song. His music recommendations were spot on. The biggest compliment to him is that so many guests raved about our DJ. Over and over again after the wedding, I heard what a terrific job he did. We honestly could not have asked for anything more. We were truly lucky to have had him and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Daniel Peterson was a great DJ. He was able to play everything the bride and groom requested and put it all in a mix that had everyone dancing non-stop, including our 89 year old grandmother who can barely walk. He was a pleasure to work with.

Vendor recommendation from NR3 Video Productions
01/29/2010

Daniel has a PhD in music and mixing! Daniel is such a sweet and knowledgeable person who goes out of his way to make sure he delivers a perfect performance each time. He always had his clients as well as their families and friends best interests in mind while keeping the dance floor packed. Unparalleled ability to read a room!

Vendor recommendation from Orange Blossom Events

Daniel Peterson is an amazing DJ. He brings his A Game to every event. The dance floor is always full and the guests always enjoy his mix of music. More importantly, is emcee skills are amazing! His attention to detail for the grand entrance is why I trust Daniel with any event. I feel announcing names properly for the grand entrance is one of the night's most important events. The DJ sets the tone of the event...why trust it to just anybody?

Vendor recommendation from VideoParty DJs

Daniel is the best mobile DJ I have seen in San Diego. He can please any crowd by using his club style mixing skills and excellent music selection. I personally attended many of his events (mostly weddings) and every time he does an outstanding job. Daniel loves his job and puts a lot of time in preparation for every event. I highly recommend him.

Describe your DJ style:
Having DJed years in clubs and for radio mixshows, I can bring the club mix flow to the wedding dancefloor. Ive also been a wedding DJ for about the same amount of time, and understand the special nature of this type of event, and how to keep all guests engaged in the night through the application of music selection and through the right type of MCing.
What is your usual attire?
A nice dark black suit.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
I can provide just about anything. I always look forward to learning from my clients as well, whether it is an idea for a cocktail hour or dinner music theme, or a special traditional ethnic style to mix in later on for the dancefloor. Music discussion is a huge part of the planning process, where we find a way to to integrate special requests of the bride and groom and their families into a mix that will keep all guests entertained.
How many other DJs do you work with?
I am an independent DJ, and am the DJ for every one of my events. So the same person you have been planning with is also the same person at the event DJing and MCing it. I do have many close DJ friends in San Diego that I have occasionally worked together with on big events.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
There is a four hour minimum.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Absolutely, and this is recommended. Typically there is an initial meeting, and if we move forward a final meeting about two weeks before the big day. In the meantime a lot of communication takes place with email. I have been able to do planning over the phone with out-of-town brides and grooms, if we have the option face-to-face meetings are recommended.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
I used to perform a mix show in Tijuana for the old More FM 98.9 and have a ton of great Mexican tracks, and can make announcements in Spanish. I have also had fun providing ethnic dancefloor sets that have included Philipino, Jewish, Italian, Irish, Croation, Arabic, African, Brazilian, Argentinian, Indian, British, Dutch, Armenian and French music selections. And I love learning new ethnic music as well!
Can the client submit a do-not-play list?
Absolutely, and this is something we cover in the planning meeting that takes place in my home office.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes, and I would bet a huge sum it is the best sounding wedding DJ system in the city.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Included in my service is a real dancefloor sound system (both subs and tops), wireless speakers for an even sound throughout the reception, wireless mics and dancefloor lighting. Additionally I can provide the options of uplighting, monogram/gobo projection, projector and screen for a photo montage and a separate ceremony sound system.
How much time do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site or client provide a table for you to set up on?
Two hours, three are prefered. I am a nut about being set up an hour before I need to be. No table is required, as I bring my own stand.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
I have a system that has that club DJ look, as I began on turntables. Yet it does not take up very much space at all.
Do you have a sign or banner that you use at events?
No, that is for the bridal shows.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
Absolutely. MCing makes all the difference in creating a successful flow through the various points of a wedding reception, and keeping your guests excited about each stage of the wedding celebration.
How would you motivate the crowd if no one is dancing?
The main thing is knowing what to play, when to play it and how to play it. Early on the right type of MCing sends the right message and welcomes your guests to the dancefloor for a fun party after the meal.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
No breaks are needed. No meal is required, but is very nice and is usually provided and I am very thankful when it is. During dinner I might grab 7-10 minutes to sit with other vendors and grab some nutrition. That is it.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Hasnt happened yet. It is rare to have this problem with any successful, self-employed vendor as we live off our reputations. If this ever happened I would draw upon my huge network of other DJ friends in the business. Again, this situation has not occured in 20 years of DJing for myself and earlier for other companies.
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day?
One event per day.
What is your overtime rate?
$150 each additional hour, whether you book it in advance or at the event.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Depends on the distance, and it is a nominal fee to cover time and gas.
What is the required deposit to secure your services?
One-third of the total secures myself as the DJ/MC for your event.
