Hey Mr. DJ

Hey Mr. DJ was the best of all of our vendors. The owner, Rich, is incredible in how he transitioned from one part of our reception to the another. He had so many great ideas to help make our day SO MUCH FUN! My wife and I love to dance and he played all of our requests. We did not get off of the dance floor! The most amazing thing though was seeing my 90-year old grandmother dance. (She did not dance at my sister's wedding!) It was a very special moment that I will always remember. Rich did an amazing job and I can't say enough about him.

Rich is great! He does such a fabulous job as an emcee and keeping everything flowing well. He is easy to work with and does all he can to keep you happy. I had a lot of songs that I wanted him to play at our wedding and he played them all. He also threw in some others and he times them out perfectly. To our surprise, we actually had a full dance floor though many of our guests were rather conservative and not really the dancing type.

I had high expectations from Rich, as I had already seen him in action at my sister's wedding. He did not disappoint us, but rather, exceeded our expectations.

Hey Mr. DJ provided the music for our wedding reception at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, on September 18, 2004. We had such a wonderful experience working with Rich! He was very responsive and professional. Rich played all of the 80s music we requested, and all of our guests' non-80s requests too!! What I will always remember from that night is the comments from our family and friends about Rich. They loved how he was part of the reception...laughing, smiling, talking, and having fun just like everyone else!We look forward to calling upon Hey Mr. DJ for any special occasion in the future.

Rich did a fabulous job at our wedding! He was very patient meeting with us before the wedding helping us pick songs and plan the flow for our wedding. He arrived to the wedding early and did everything he said he would. After the wedding we got many compliments on the music choice and the professionalism of our DJ. We would highly recommend Rich again.

Rich Amooi is the owner/DJ. I met him personally before I hired him and I immediately liked him. He's friendly, easygoing, and he's all about making your wedding as fun as can be. You can tell he really enjoys doing weddings and you want that positive energy on your wedding day. I certainly did. I chose him because he has a great reputation (he came highly recommended), has lots of experience and had played at my venue before so he knew the setup, is a complete professional from beginning to end (he dresses in a tux, sets up early, will stay longer if you need him), not cheesy, has public speaking experience, and is just a good quality vendor. I wanted to be guaranteed good music all night and someone that was a professional as a MC and DJ. He has a large music selection and if he doesn't have the song, he has no problem getting it for you. He exceeded my expectations and I received many compliments from my guests at the end of the night. I highly recommend Rich. He's the best!

Rich was great! We searched endlessly for a DJ-knowing that they can really set the tone of how your reception can go. We were very nervous that the DJ would play songs on our do not play list or be too hokey. However, once we found Rich we knew he was the right decision! He was great! He definitely knows how to keep the flow going. My dad had told me that most of his friends would leave after the cake was cut and they ALL stayed to the end-shouting "one more song" with all the rest of our friends. No one wanted to leave! He was great! I truly recommend him-but he books up fast so don't hesitate! We almost lost out on him because I was traveling before we could meet-luckily the couple that had booked him had to reschedule.

Absolutely the best disc jockey in existence. The owner himself, Rich Amooi, came to our wedding and accepted requests form all our guests. He was so friendly, and there wasn't a single glitch or mishap in our entire party thanks to his continuous music. Do yourself a favor and hire him now!

EXCEPTIONAL! PHENOMENAL! TERRIFIC! If I were allowed to give a 6/5 rating, I definitely would on all the categories. The owner himself, Rich Amooi, deserves a ∞/5! The guy was great; transitioning flawlessly from one song to the next, and readily accepting all our requests. Even towards the end of the party, nobody wanted to leave because he was so good! Please do yourself a favor and forget all other disc jockeys. Just go with this one; you'll NEVER regret it.

Rich is AWESOME! We picked our DJ last minute, and this man was the best choice we could have made. He knows his stuff, and he knows how to keep the party going. He listens to everything you tell him, takes notes, and even practices how to pronounce your name, and the name of your wedding party, so everything is literally to the "t". His wide knowledge of music will meet all of your needs. His relationship with the crowd is immediate, he has the ability to keep your attention, in many ways, first of all with the music he plays, secondly with the crowd by announcing and talking on the mic, third with the crowd while the music is playing, and lastly in individual conversation. By this I mean, he was in conversation with my brother-in-law while playing music I PROVIDED (none of his music skips or jumps, my CD had the issues, can't emphasize that enough) and during that conversation he was playing the CD I asked him to play, which skipped, and without being rude, he maintained the conversation and fixed the music problem before anyone even noticed!! (I asked my bridesmaid if she heard it and she said no). This man was on his game! The quality of service, friendly and fun attitude, plus the fact that he listens to my every desire, and played everything I asked for and more, it doesn't get better than that. Oh and he even got into contact with my venue on his own to coordinate what he needed! Wow, that's service. I've been to a few weddings where the DJ was just ok, and before that I never realized how much a DJ really means to your day. So, Ladies and Gentelman, if you want a stress free, fun, relaxing, entertaining occassion, Rich w/ Hey Mr. DJ is your guy.

We hired Rich for our wedding and we were so happy with him. First of all, Rich was one of the only DJs we interviewed who really wanted to know what we wanted for our wedding. He listened well and made lots of great suggestions. At the wedding he didn't miss any of our requested songs. He kept the crowd happy and dancing all night long. We highly recommend hiring Rich to be your DJ!

As "Hey Mr. DJ" does have "DJ" in it and he does fall into the category of DJs, Rich is much more than a DJ. He was the MC, he helps you plan out the timeline of the evening, keep everything on schedule and coordinates with the photographers and venue staff. Guests at our wedding have raved to us about how great the DJ was and that the music selection was amazing. One recommendation I would have is just give Rich a few "must play" and "don't play" if you have any, and they just give him preferred genres of music and let him feel out the crowd and determine what to play. That was our plan and it worked out beautifully. We are so happy with the service we received, how quickly he was able to respond and how he knew exactly what to do all times. If you are looking for a wedding DJ there is nobody else I would recommend, and if you are considering a band I recommend you consider Rich instead, he not only contributes to the music and dancing, but also helps the night flow smoothly as an MC.

We hired Rich as our wedding DJ after he did such a great job as my sister's wedding DJ the year prior. We didn't explore any other DJ's when we got engaged-- we knew we wanted Rich! Not only is he phenomenal at selecting the right music to fit the party mood, he also brings great energy and a terrific personality. He kept our guests laughing at the right times, especially during his emcee duties. He was also very responsive during our planning stages, which is very important to any busy/overwhelmed bride! 5 stars for sure!

Rich is one of the main reasons why all of our guests had SO much fun at our wedding reception. When my husband and I first met Rich we both had a good vibe - his professionalism and easy going personality put us at ease. We planned our wedding from NYC, so it was very important to us to hire someone we knew who could get the job done -and Rich exceeded our expectations. He got the party started right from the beginning of the reception and the dance floor was packed the entire night. He listened to our needs and made sure all of our requests were played throughout the evening. From Mexican cumbias to Tupac - Rich has it all and if doesn't own it he'll make to sure get it. And to top it all off, he was also our MC. This man does it all. We can't thank him enough. He truly loves his job and that enthusiasm is contangious.

I've been to a lot of weddings, and have also dealt with a few DJ's in my time, but Rich proved to be a diamond in the rough. Hands down, he is the best out there and is the complete package.If I was able to post 10 stars, I would. Rich Amooi, of Hey Mr. DJ Wedding Entertainment, is just THAT good. From the moment we first contacted Rich, until even after our wedding, Rich was nothing short of a true professional as an emcee and is just a fantastic person all around. He was open to negotiations, made planning a breeze, has a wealth of musical knowledge from all his years as an emcee and had a way to put me, an anxious bride, completely at ease. Searching for a DJ was difficult for my husband and I, as it seemed like most DJ's were all about a price tag and "selling" their service versus Rich, who was all about getting to know my husband and I so he could fine tune the music so it matched our, and our variety of guests, personalities and was proved completely trustworthy.On the day of the wedding, Rich had an eye for adjusting the music so no one wanted to leave the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted, plus he was able to throw in all the songs we requested at just the right time. He was all about making sure we were on schedule according to the timeline I gave him - which was much appreciated as the day got carried away; i.e., when my 3 older brothers got a hold of the mic and decided to roast me for an extended period of time, Rich caught on quick and pulled the plug on them very humorously by playing the Jeopardy theme song. Everyone, including the "roasters," thought it was hysterical and was the perfect hint for my brothers to realize that their time was up.I believe Rich also emcees events outside of weddings, and if that's the case, then my husband and I will be using Rich again for any upcoming celebrations where dancing and a good party is needed, as we know Rich will deliver just that and then some.

We appreciate how responsive he was to our needs before and during the wedding reception. He played all of our requested songs and gave excellent advice. He did a good job in reading the audience and keeping a festive mood.We spent more than we would have liked, but we would not hesitate in recommending his services.

We were so happy we chose Rich as the DJ for our wedding. He was a preferred provider by the San Jose Fairmont, and when they suggested him I realized his name was very familiar. I then remembered he was a favorite radio DJ of mine when I was in high school. We met Rich for the first time just after meeting with another DJ service. Rich was a million times more professional and classy. We knew that we would have no worries if we chose Rich just after that first meeting. He kept in close contact with us making sure he knew every detail of our reception. Rich is genuinely concerned with making sure you are completely satisfied.

Rich Amooi of Hey Mr DJ did an amazing job at our wedding reception at Testarossa Winery. Having a mixed crowd of mostly older adults and some younger ones, we were having a tough time picking music that our guest would enjoy, much less get up and dance to. Boy were we surprised when Rich somehow got them all to get up and dance. Our dance floor was overflowing all night! He made the evening so enjoyable that we were surprised when it was done too soon. Rich is fun to work with, very professional, really knows his stuff, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Rich!

Rich is great! He does such a fabulous job as an emcee and keeping everything flowing well. He is easy to work with and does all he can to keep you happy. I had a lot of songs that I wanted him to play at our wedding and he played them all. He also threw in some others and he times them out perfectly. We actually had a full dance floor though many of our guests were rather conservative and not really the dancing type. I had high expectations from Rich, as I had already seen him in action at my sister's wedding. He exceeded our expectations.

The best!

If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or party LOOK NO FURTHER! You have to hire RIch Amooi of heymrdj.com. I just had my wedding 2 weeks ago and he was AWESOME! He completely takes care of you from beginning to end. It felt like he was a wedding coordinator and DJ all in one. He got a sense before the wedding of the kind of music we wanted and he nailed it the night of the wedding! We also had some very specific requests that he also took care of. I had my father and brother in laws play music and he arranged it all so that it went smoothly during the reception. I'm serious if you are looking right now for a DJ. Stop looking email rich. You will not regret it. If I ever need a DJ again it will be him. hands down!

If you're looking for a professional DJ as well as a master of ceremonies (MC) at an affordable price, then this is your guy. Rich will tailor your event however you'd like or the best part is if you don't know what you want that's okay too because Rich will suggest things that have worked well in the past.For our wedding, we met with Rich a couple of months prior to the event. He tries to get a sense of what you're looking for - as wedding receptions can vary greatly. For ours, we wanted him to act as the MC and make it comfortable for people to get the party going on the dance floor. As it turned out, Rich exceeded our expectations at both. He has a calm, energetic delivery that makes people feel he is part of the family. I remember he was pretty funny too - got the crowd laughing and energized. As for the music selection, he really stayed within what we wanted. Our crowd was about 2/3 older and 1/3 younger people so wanted to have the music age appropriate. I wanted the older crowd to have a blast and not feel uncomfortable with too much current music. Rich mixed it beautifully - which I know for a fact because our officiant had his tie tied around his forehead by the end of the night!Since our weddding, I've been to about 8 other weddings and I can tell you first hand that Rich is way better than anyone else I've seen. He comes highly recommended in my book.

I don't think that you'll find a better DJ. Rich was an absolute pleasure to have involved in our wedding. He had all of the songs that we requested, played them appropriately, and eventually had EVERYONE dancing. He deserves his reputation as the best. Thanks again Rich!

Rich Amooi (Mr. DJ) was the emcee, and DJ for our wedding at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose last August, 2008.Rich was very professional, reasonably priced, and was a pleasure to work with. He made song selection and planning very simple and straight-forward. During the ceremony he had the perfect combination of professionalism, and humor. He also did a great job of keeping things rolling along smoothly.I'd strongly recommend Rich to anyone considering a DJ for a wedding, or any other event. I'd also like to point out that Rich is a great guy who at times appears to even donate his time / DJ services to charitable events.Thanks Rich!

Rich was SO fun! He pleased EVERYONE at the wedding with his music choices and read the crowd very well!

Rich Amooi is a cool guy. We did not choose our "first dance" song until late the night before the wedding, and he handled getting the song (which was relatively obscure) and gave a personalized introduction to it at the reception as if he'd known us for years. He was responsive by phone and by email, and took care of arrangements with the reception site well ahead of time.

I found Rich during my extensive research for wedding entertainment. He has been awarded many times as one of the best wedding DJs in town and trust me those awards are well justified. Being a good wedding DJ is not just about playing great music which he does excellently, but also about MIC presence. Always keeping the crowd entertained with his charm but never corny.I highly recommend him to anyone who is having a wedding. Thank you Rich you made our wedding a smash hit.

We appreciate how responsive he was to our needs before and during the wedding reception. He played all of our requested songs and gave excellent advice. He did a good job in reading the audience and keeping a festive mood.We spent more than we would have liked, but we would not hesitate in recommending his services.

Rich is great!! He really made our day special. He was highly organized and played or included everything we asked for. We did a fun movie-themed dance for the bridal party introductions and his comentary made it a huge hit. Our guests are still talking about the fun music and how much they enjoyed dancing!!

Absolutely the best disc jockey in existence. The owner himself, Rich Amooi, came to our wedding and accepted requests form all our guests. He was so friendly, and there wasn't a single glitch or mishap in our entire party thanks to his continuous music. Do yourself a favor and hire him now!

Great and enthusiastic DJ. Made dancing much more fun.

We like the people who gave the service to us. We would recommend this to you if you want DJ.

Our DJ was great! he was personable and friendly. He was easy to work with and really listened to our music choices. I would recommend this company!

“There are so many DJs out there that really don't know much more than what buttons to push on a console. Rich is something special - he can read your audience and know what's the right direction to take your event. I highly recommend Rich to anyone needing a quality Master of Ceremonies or DJ.”

“Rich Amooi is the BEST DJ in the valley. My bride and grooms love working with him because is he knowledgeable,personable and he gets their guests up, dancing and having a great time!! He always gets 5 stars from my clients who book him and they recommend him to their friends as the DJ to have!!! He also is pleasure to work with from the service side of the house due to his excellent work ethics and award winning personality:)”

"Richie is one of the best DJ's in the country. If you don't hire him, you are absolutely nuts!".

"Rich,

You did such a great job for us at our wedding reception! Everyone had so much FUN! The music was PERFECT! Thank you again for making our day extra special!"

"Hi Rich!

We were so pleased with your work!! Feel free to offer our contact info to any people considering you for hire if they want to talk to people you’ve done events for in the past. I would love to tell them what a professional and outstanding job you did!! We actually got a lot of compliments about you from our guests; Mike’s mom had someone call her the day after the wedding and mentioned how professional you were. She said that usually at a wedding during dinner, you either can’t hear the music or it is too loud to talk to those at your table. Yours was just perfect! Everyone had a blast. Not sure if I ever passed that on to you but thought you should know how highly our guests thought of you. Thanks again!"

"Hi Rich!,

We just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to tell you again how impressed we were with you. You ran the entire evening, and yet, you were never an intrusion. You seemed to feel what kind of music people wanted to hear and when to switch from slow tunes to dance tunes. And you knew how to get people out onto the dance floor. We had a wonderful time at our wedding and you contributed to that. You created a fun and happy atmosphere and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you so much. You can count on us to recommend you every time."

"Rich is the number one DJ that I refer to all of my clients. He is very talented. In fact, I trust him so much, I hired him to DJ my own wedding. And it was SO MUCH FUN ! I highly recommend him."

Rich,

Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did at our wedding! Both Scott and I couldn’t have been happier. We had several people come up to us after the wedding commenting on what a great DJ we had hired. I really didn’t think people would stay until the very end, but you keep us all dancing and having a great time!

The other thing we appreciated was how easy you made it to plan for what we wanted. Your checklist was quick and easy to fill out and we knew exactly what to expect. That took the worry out so we could enjoy our big day. Our wedding day was a dream come true and you were part of making that happen. We don’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know looking for a DJ. You are the best!! Thanks again!"

Dear Rich,

Thank you for doing such a fantastic job as our DJ and master of ceremony on our wedding day. We loved all of the music selections and are grateful you remembered all of our special requests. Also, you were terrific to work with, very professional, accessible, responsible, and FUN ! We would be delighted to serve as a reference for you anytime.

Once again. THANK YOU! We hope our paths cross again soon."

“Dear Rich,

Two months have passed and we are still delighting in the memories of the day that Stephanie and Tom were married.

I want to thank you for the enormous part you played in making that day one of the greatest days of my life. I know that Gary, Stephanie, and Tom feel the same way. You made the reception so much fun. From your opening remarks, to sharing the significance of the cake top, to the final dance, you made it all so personal. Countless people have told us that they have never had so much fun at a wedding reception. You kept the dance floor full all evening and everyone, young and old, had a chance to enjoy their type of music.

You have a genuine gift for using music to spread joy. Thank you so much for sharing that gift with us."

Rich is one of the best DJ's in the wedding business and is very dedicated to providing the best customer service. I have no reservations about recommending Hey Mr. DJ for your wedding. He is classy, prompt, and very professional, as well as fun to work with.

Rich is the definition of a great DJ. His mixing skills can be learned, but his personality can never be copied. There might be many DJs who can spin good tunes, but putting together a successful event involves many skills that they don't teach in school. Rich is a great MC, and knows how to get a party started and keep it going. No gimmicks, no shtick, just honest and genuine personality. Hire Rich and you're in great hands.

I network with Rich Amooi because he is such a great DJ and has become such a good friend. He is very professional and I continue to recommend him to brides when I am booked and cannot offer my services. When looking for a professional entertainer, look no further. Rich will rock your party : )- Jessie Garcia/playitlouddj.com

I had the honor of working with Rich (Hey Mr DJ) at an event I photographed for my Brides America Project.us project in San Jose, CA. Besides being an absolute gentleman, he knows music and his trade very well. In my opinion, it's extreme;y important for the person who is providing the music and entertainment to have a handle on the vibe of the guests. Rich did an outstanding job at reading the guests at this event and kept the festivities rolling. There was never a dull moment, as I suspect there never is at any event that he covers.I only wish that other DJ-MC vendors would strive to do what Rich what so effortlessly and eloquently accomplishes while simultaneously helping the client to enjoy their event to the maximum.

The best word to describe Rich of Hey Mr. DJ is classy. I've worked with him on numerous weddings and have referred him to many brides who were looking for a DJ. One thing you may also appreciate about Rich is that he always comes dressed appropriately for the occasion. You don't need to worry about your DJ coming dressed as if he was at a backyard party. I know upon arriving at a reception and seeing Rich that the evening will go by smoothly. He is very professional, prompt and fun to work with. My clients always thank me for referring Rich to supply the music for their wedding.Charles Le,Charles Le Photography

Rich of Hey Mr. DJ is extremely professional and easy to work with! His transitions and humor make the crowd feel at ease and I highly recommend him for any event!!!

I have worked with Rich a few times and every time is it such a pleasant experience! Rich is amazing. He is very professional in his field. He is always on top of things and always very organized. But most importantly, Rich knows how to get the party started so that ALL your guests will go to the dance floor, and he knows how to make it FUN for everybody. Your guests will have the best time ever if you have Rich at your wedding.

Hey Mr DJ is hands down one of my favorite DJs to work with. He has a gift for reading the crowd, and playing just the right music depending on the mood to keep the party going. There's never a dull moment, and his parties keep on going all the way to the end. It always amazes me how seamlessly his receptions flow ... from the introductions to the bouquet toss ... he keeps things on schedule and makes sure that everyone is having a great time. I highly recommend Hey Mr DJ!

If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, you will definitely want to talk to Hey Mr. DJ. It's always an amazing treat to work with Rich. He has a talent that is rarely seen with other DJs. He doesn't just play music, he creates a mood and an experience appropriate for the moment. It is always impressive to be able to see him feel the crowd and listen to their mood in determining what music to play next. Rich is charming and fun to work with. He knows how to get a party going and make an event enjoyable for everyone. When we saw he was voted "Best in Silicon Valley" 2 years in a row, it didn't surprise us at all. When you are looking for a DJ for your event, just say "Hey Mr. DJ".

I have been in business for over 20 years and have seen many DJ's come and go. Rich has been there as long as I can remember and is truly a incredible DJ and personal host for every kind of event, especially weddings. He is very loving, fun and is always the DJ at your wedding. Be careful, he books fast and way out on the calendar. I highly recommend Rich for the most important day of your life, your wedding and for guest to be truly entertained for the whole evening.David EthridgeOwner/Producer AVR Films

I have done a number of weddings with Rich during which he was the DJ and I served as the officiant. Rich is a consumate professional and one of the best people possible to work with. Rich does much more than simply play music: he creates an engaging environment that sets just the right tone for the wedding and the reception. I'm confident you'll find Rich to be just the perfect fit for your special day!

Mr. DJ is a pleasure to work with.
