Reviews for Ray the DJ
GUEST




Randy is one of the most flexible and attentive DJ's out there. He truly made our reception a memorable event and we couldn't thank him more for being such an excellent vendor to work with. Everyone at our reception (including the venue) wanted to get his information for their next event.
GUEST




Let me just say - WE LOVED OUR DJ! Jeremy Cullum was fantastic. He kept the whole wedding running smoothly, he was upbeat, was open to requests, and played perfect songs the whole night. Jeremy was right on time and had everything set up before I could even blink.
It's so important to have a good DJ and we nailed it by picking Ray the DJ. I highly recommend Jeremy - he was a great DJ and great person! Thanks again!
GUEST




Jeff was our DJ from RaytheDJ. And he was great. He is the funniest guy. He kept the party going even when my husband and I had to step out of the party a few times for pictures and other things. He made great song choices and was overall an excellent DJ!
GUEST




I cannot strongly enough emphasize how INCREDIBLE Ray the DJ is!!! We actually had Ray himself as our DJ, and I could not have been more impressed by his quality of work both before and during the wedding! We needed the music for first dance cut, and he did so quickly and easily. Also, my aunt and cousin offered to sing during our Father-Daughter dance, but they needed the song in a special key. He first provided us with a website that has instrumental songs in several different keys, but the key they needed wasn't on the website. When they gave him the specific key they needed, he found the song easily! I only tell this drawn out story to illustrate how hard he works for his clients.
During the reception itself, he had all my guests dancing ALL NIGHT!! He read the crowd really well, playing a great mix of fast/ slow songs as well as older and modern songs. I received SO many compliments about him, and I could not be happier! If you want to have the greatest reception ever, BOOK RAY...
GUEST




I had DJ Marcus from the company Ray the DJ. This guy was beyond fantastic! He listened to my every word about the type of music I like and don't like. He gave me suggestions and sent over documents on the most requested songs for different parts of the wedding like the processional, first dance, bouquet toss, etc. There are a lot more decisions to be made when it comes to the music than most people think and this DJ helped me through it all. He even went above and beyond and mixed/cut songs for my first dance song and my entrance song. He kept mixing them until he came up with the perfect cut for me, which he definitely didn't have to do. I appreciated it so much. All the music he played was fantastic and really got all my guests up and having fun on the dance floor. He was a great MC and did everything perfectly. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would recommend him to anyone!
GUEST




Hi Randy,
I just wanted to send you note letting you know how much we appreciated all you did for us on our wedding day! We received so may compliments on the music and on you personally. Words cannot express how much it meant to us to not have to worry about what was being said or played and also having our requests met exactly how we asked them to be. I will always recommend you personally as well as your company to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you again!!
Sincerely,
Matt, Natalie and Payton
GUEST




We loved Jeff from Ray the DJ! From our first meeting 6 months before the wedding, I knew he was going to be a great fit. The day of, he arrived hours before the ceremony and reception to make sure everything was up and running. During the reception he did an amazing job of reading the crowd and keeping the party going. Up until the last dance, everyone was out having a great time. Thanks Jeff!
GUEST




Ray the DJ had plenty of DJ's to choose from and their was a bio on each one so you could fit your taste. We had Jeremy and he was GREAT! He was able to provide a wide range of music for different ages and genres. Jeremy definitely contributed to my special day being PERFECT!
GUEST




Randy from Ray the DJ was awesome! He was very receptive to what we wanted (and didn't want) him to play, and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with his service! We talked on the phone several times, making sure every detail in our song choices and timeline was perfect, and he kept our day running smoothly! He provided music for both our ceremony and reception, and even downloaded songs we wanted that he didn't have. Some of our song choices were a bit non-traditional (alt-rock music for dinner, instead of the classics, for instance), but Randy kept to our list and created a memorable musical backdrop that our guests enjoyed! He played all of our dance music requests later in the night, and knew how to keep people on the dance floor all evening, despite our small number of guests! He was open to guest requests and could not have been friendlier throughout the night. I can't recommend him, and Ray the DJ, more highly! They were wonderful to work with!
GUEST




We worked with "Jeff" at Ray the DJ. He was awesome and easy to work with. We received several complements from our friends and family. Affordable and excellent service. You won’t be disappointed.
GUEST




We absolutely loved working with Jeremy at Ray the DJ. He was professional yet laid back. He had so many ideas and helped a lot with the planning of the songs and the overall flow for the night. He kept the wedding day moving and did a lot to keep me calm. He read the crowd and played all the right songs and did not hesitate to stay an extra hour when the crowd was not quite ready to call it a night. It was a pleasure working with Ray the DJ and Jeremy specifically. I recommend him to everyone.
GUEST




We couldn't be more pleased with having Jeremy DJ our wedding. He was friendly and responded quickly to my many emails. At our meeting he asked us very good questions because he seemed to care about us as a couple. He did everything that was asked of him, and boy did I provide him a list of 'must plays'! Lol Finally when our Tuesday wedding started to dwindle down earlier than anticipated, Jeremy was flexible and made us feel comfortable. I can't possibly recommend him to enough brides! Thank you for everything Jeremy and Alicia.
GUEST




Jeremy we can't thank you enough for all that you did at our wedding. You were awesome to work with both before and during our event.
Highly recommend Ray the DJ and Jeremy specifically
GUEST




One word.....FANTASTIC!!! We had Jeff as our DJ for our wedding and we could not have asked for a better person. We had asked our venue for someone that liked to joke around, was great with a younger crowd and played a wide range of music. She instantly told us she had the perfect DJ for us and after our first meeting with him, we knew she was right! He completely understood what we wanted and made us feel very comfortable. Jeff played great music throughout the night, walked around to work the crowd and got everyone (literally everyone!) dancing at one point. We had several of our guests tell us how much fun he was and what a great time they had with him. He truly made our reception everything we wanted it to be and will forever have great memories because of it. We would use him in a heartbeat for any future events that we have. Thank you again Jeff!
GUEST




We had Jeff from Ray the DJ and WOW he was amazing! We were planning a surprise dance with the song from the wedding singer that sounded like it was skipping and went into "What I Like About You." I told him what I was thinking and he put the song together and sent it to us and it was perfect! He went out of his way to make sure we had all of the songs we wanted and played so many of the requests. He went with what he saw on the dance floor to gauge what song to play. He also walked around to make sure everyone was doing well or needed anything. My mom also planned a "mother of the bride rap"... yes an actual rap! He was very accommodating with her and was really laid back and funny throughout the night! I highly recommend him!
GUEST




We hired Jeff from Ray the DJ for our ceremony and reception music. We loved him! He has such a great personality, wonderful sense of humor, works well with other vendors and ensures the day is running smoothly. He goes above and beyond what most DJ's do. We did the Newlywed Game at our reception and he kept it so funny! We had a great time, and our guests were always on the dance floor because he is great at being able to read a crowd and feel what music is good for the moment. We also had a complicated Grand Entrance music compilation and he pulled it off flawlessly. We wanted a variety of different music and he had it all (Big Band & Swing Sinatra-type for the cocktail hour and dinner, Indie music, Top 40 songs and classic reception dance songs). The prices were affordable and the staff is very friendly and easy to work with. Thanks so much for a great wedding day!
GUEST




Ray the DJ was an incredible and professional service to work with. Ray himself was professional on the phone each time I called and talked to him, and the value could not be beat. Jeremy was the DJ who was selected for our wedding, and WOW! He was great! Very professional, yet fun, and all the guests loved him. He was on time and went above and beyond to make sure that our day was exactly the way we wanted it. Highly recommend Ray the DJ, and ask for Jeremy!! :)
GUEST




Jeff was our DJ for our wedding, and we could not have found a more perfect match for our reception. He kept the evening upbeat when it needed to be upbeat, and toned it down when it needed to slow down a little. His announcements were perfect and right on queue, and he bent the night's schedule any time I needed him to because a person was missing or had wandered off (like my maid of honor, who never would have forgiven me if she missed the cake cutting).
Amazing music selection, and he provided a stellar evening that no one is soon to forget. I could not recommend Jeff from Ray the DJ...
GUEST




Ed from Ray the DJ was very professional, we met couple times before the wedding and planned the whole thing out. He will try to accommodate to any of your music and entertainment need. He is very entertaining on our wedding day
GUEST




Jeremy at Ray the DJ was simply fantastic. I met with at least 6 other DJs before finding Jeremy. Not only were his prices $250 below all the others, he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I got what I wanted. He offered several add-ons to my package, but never pushed. He communicated with me regularly and gave suggestions, but never tried to steer me away from the music and vision I had for my reception. I loathe the cheesy DJ thing, and he was the epitome of class and professionalism. My guests danced the entire time, and that is the true mark of a great DJ.
GUEST




Jeremy at Ray the DJ was really great to work with. He was laid back and he let us decide what music we wanted to add as well as providing us with suggestions where we were stuck. He and his assistant Alicia also made beautiful uplighting and a specialized monogram for us. Jeremy made our night very special! I would highly recommend Ray the DJ and Jeremy!
GUEST




Jeremy from Ray the DJ was our wedding DJ and I could not say enough good things about him! He was very easy to work with, knew all the latest hits as well as some of the oldies, and provided entertainment for all guests. The dance floor was hopping all night and people didn't want to leave! His uplighting created such a wonderful ambiance that people still talk about it today. I would highly recommend Ray the DJ and Jeremy to any bride and groom. Thanks, Jeremy!
GUEST




Jeremy of Ray the DJ was fantastic! Guests still comment on how great the music was and how much fun they had at our reception. He kept the party going all night long with great music and took the stress out of the day for us by keeping our reception running smoothly. He is a great person too, and very professional. He also did our uplighting and gobo for us, which "made" the look of our reception. We still have guests commenting on how beautiful and classy our reception was and we owe it all to Jeremy. For anyone looking for the best DJ who can also provide top notch lighting, go with Jeremy!
GUEST




We hired Jeff through Ray the DJ and he was awesome! He was easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, and very professional. On the wedding day, he'd walk around and ask the guests what they wanted to hear. Afterwards, we heard how much the guests appreciated that. The office staff at Ray the DJ was very responsive and easy to work with. They were one of our top vendors that we hired and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
GUEST




We had friends who had used Ray the DJ before. They loved them. We booked Ray himself and we couldn't have been happier. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He requested that we fill out papers about what we liked and didn't like. He listens to what you want and will give you exactly that and more. The things we looked for in our DJ was:
*To keep everyone up and dancing
*Don't break the flow of the evening
*Knowledge about what to do and when to do it
*To play only the music we wanted
He was phenomenal, we got so many compliments about him! He far surpassed our expectations! Thanks Ray!
GUEST




DJ's are so important for the flow and overall feeling of a wedding. And let me tell you....Jeremey ROCKED it! Wow, Chris and I couldn't have been happier with the way the reception turned out. So many guests complimented how great the DJ was. It was a dream wedding and I couldn't have imagined it to have been any more PERFECT! Mostly because everyone in the room was dancing ALL night, we even had to extend the reception.
SO SO MUCH FUN. Jeremy you sure know how to run a SHOW! Thank you!!
Chris and Chelsea
GUEST




Ray The DJ is the best. The DJ was very profesional and super about keeping the event on schedule. The music was perfect. It was a perfect add to a perfect night.
GUEST




I met Ray at an open house event at Sassy! I immediately knew that I wanted Ray to be the Dj at my wedding! He was so out going and got people dancing at the open house I was at! Ray was on time, dressed to impressed, and kept the party going all night! He listened to everything that I wanted done with the music selections! He even got on the dance floor and danced with us a couple of times! He was a great energetic person! I would recommend Ray for anyone who wants to have a great time dancing at their wedding!
GUEST




We had Jeremy! He was so great throughout the entire process. Met with us several times to ensure our needs were met. Our guests did not leave the dance floor! He knew what music to play and when to make the night a blast! Would highly recommend!!!!
GUEST




WOW! We had Jeff who was chosen through our venue. We could not have been happier. Music is a huge part of my life so I am very picky. Plus, I wanted people to be on the dancefloor the whole time which he orchestrated without missing a beat (no pun intended). He took the time to meet with me and go through every part of the wedding/reception. He is an organized profressional with a great sense of humor. You can tell he truly loves what he does and he's amazing at it. The DJ company also gave us a referral to a company that did our uplighting for our reception. They also did an amazing job. It's no wonder that everyone we talked to raved about Ray the DJ. Being there first hand, Jeff was amazing!
GUEST




Ray was amazing truly best of the best! You want an experienced DJ not an amateur. Ray, your the man! Thank you thank you! Anny and Brian
GUEST




Jeremy was more than patient and courteous to us during our planning stage. We had more than enough questions and he even took the pressure off coordinating with the Princess some of the responsibilities I should have handled myself. The one thing my new wife and I talk about is how as soon as the music started everyone danced the entire time and quick it felt because everyone had the best time....cannot begin to tell you how many guest said it was the best wedding they have ever attended and most fun they ever had during a wedding and Jeremy had a huge role in this.
Thanks again man!
Really appreciate the patience and professionalism you displayed throughout the entire process.

GUEST




Jeff from Ray the DJ was fantastic! He had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Having the perfect DJ can either make or break your reception, and he definitely made our reception a success! Thanks Jeff!!
GUEST




Jeff was our DJ and he was awesome! He did our ceremony music and DJ/MC'd our reception. He was so fun and easy to work with. He also did a wonderful job playing a variety of music an made sure my husband and I were having a good time. I highly recommend Ray the DJ and his staff.
GUEST




I had Mike the DJ and he was great! He kept everything on track and did an excellent job! I would highly recommend them!
GUEST




DJ Jeremy was the best DJ I could have asked for. My wedding was in Flagstaff, so he made a special trip from Phoenix without charging me extra or trying to rush to get home towards the end of the night. I would recommend him 10 times over. He kept me on the dance floor for almost the entire night. He was fun to work with and made the wedding agenda planning easy.
GUEST




Working with Dave was easy and he was so considerate about everything. He really did a great job. I wanted to leave this review because I was so impressed with his all around service and thought this might help his business, Audio Inferno.
GUEST




Ray was very easy to work with. He called to confirm everything and provided song suggestions. He listened to all of our music requests and blended everything together seamlessly on our big day. We had so many compliments from our guests about the music. Definitely recommend working with Ray!
GUEST




Everyone at Ray the DJ was fantastic and especially our DJ Jeremy. He worked with us via phone and e-mail since we live in Yuma and he made sure every detail was covered and correct! Our guests had a wonderful time with him and we are so pleased with how professional and caring a person he is. I highly recommend this DJ company to anyone!!
GUEST




We interviewed 3 or 4 DJs before making our selection. Off the bat, Ray the DJ company was the easiest to work with. Jeremy, our DJ was awesome! Jeremy and Alicia were very responsive, and also helped to keep me on track. He met with us several times before the wedding and we had all of the right timing, songs and other questions figured out. I knew the night would run smoothly, and it did!
GUEST
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! Jeremy and Alicia were extremely responsive and professional. Our guests complimented the dinner music, and Jeremy had us dancing into the night. Highly recommended!
GUEST




My Wife and I took the time to set up interviews with 7 well known DJ's in the phoenix area. We were both happy to chose Jeremy with Ray the DJ. The price was very reasonable and we got everything that we wanted with out any hassles. Jeremy and his wife work as a team to make sure that you get all the answers you may have before your big day to make sure that the day goes smooth. My wife and I would send out emails to Jeremy at least once a week and he would get back to us that same day. When planning a wedding time is important and they made sure that we were not wanting around for answers which was great. I would recommend Jeremy to anyone who is looking for a DJ that shows up to the venue early and plays everything that you tell him to play and more. Jeremy is all about making sure that he does what you want and nothing else. Many DJ's have ideas of what they want your wedding to be like and Jeremy is the opposite. He meets with you a couple of times before the wedding to double and triple check that everything that he has is right and there is no mistakes. What more can someone ask for. There were about 100 people at my wedding and everyone was pleased in the music and how his timeline for the wedding went so smooth. My wife and I are very happy that Jeremy and his wife got to be a part of our big day.

GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ and he did a fantastic job. He met with us prior to our wedding not once but twice. Alicia and jeremy were in constant contact with us and flexible in the changes we wanted to make. He was touching base with us during the ceremony and played all the music that the guests requested throughout the night. They did a fantastic job and were extremely happy with the night and all they did for us.
GUEST




Ray was our DJ for our 5/6/12 wedding. He is so thorough and friendly and passionate about his work. He understood the importance that music plays, had great suggestions, and listened to my ideas and turned them into something better than I imagined. He interacted with guests and kept us on track with a timeline. We had a great time! Thanks Ray!! I wouldn't have had it any other way!!
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ for our wedding and he was great! He played everything that we wanted (even when I requested song after song). He made sure the reception ran perfectly and he made me feel very comfortable with the whole evening. His assistant Alicia always returned my emails promptly and was a great help!
GUEST




Jeremy did absolutely everything we asked, and played all the music we wanted. He was very flexible with out unusual reception plans, and was extremely professional and accomodating. He also found some unusual music we wanted. We highly ecommend him!
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ and he was absolutely AMAZING!!! He met with us twice and gave very helpful advice from all of his experience. Everyone at the wedding had so much fun and he really kept the party going. He showed up early to make sure everything was running correctly. He also was very professional and allowed us to make music changes up until the end. It was such a pleasure working him and his wife Alicia. We would highly reccommend him!!!!
GUEST
GUEST




Andy did a fantastic job on my wedding and catered to everyone's taste in music, even if someone requested something odd.. :) the Company itself Ray the DJ is amazing. I highly suggest anyone to this company for any event!!
GUEST




Jeff was our DJ and he was EXCELLENT. I had a mix of adults, young adults and kids at my wedding and was approached more than once to let me know that the Music was "AWESOME". He kept the crowd informed and the night exciting! Jeff was amazing and I don't think my day would not be as great without him! He also did the "newlywed game" for us and it was a total smash it with the crowd!!!
GUEST




Couldn't have asked for anything more! Jeremy played all the best new and old crowdpleasers at the perfect times. The music allowed the night to flow perfectly. Choosing a DJ was not something we took lightly and I can honestly say there isn't a thing I would have changed. Thank you Jeremy!!
GUEST




I LOVE RAY !!!! He is so funny, and easy to work with! Everyone loved his choice of music and he kept the party going!!
GUEST




We worked with Randall from Ray the DJ's services. He called before the wedding to go over our preferences and followed them to a T. He chose great music and didn't play anything that we wanted to avoid (like the Chicken Dance... yuck). I would recommend their services for any event!
GUEST




Music is so important to the tempo, mood and overall enjoyment of a wedding reception ...Jeff @ "Ray the DJ" was so great in listening to our styles and implementing them. We had a blast and thanks to his attitude, humor & personality it made our day even more special. He was a perfect fit for our character and kept the dance floor full all night!
GUEST




Jeremy from "Ray the DJ' was our MC for the night and what a fabulous job he did. Matt and I were looking for someone who would keep the crowd going but was not overbearing and Jeremy was exactly what we were looking for. He was very personable, was able to make great suggestions and incorporated all of our wished into a wonderful evening. Many people commented that the dance floor was filled all night long. Jeremy worked with us prior to the event to make sure we had everything covered, kept us to our timeline and sent us off on a wonderful evening with many happy memories.
GUEST




Ray the DJ was great for our wedding. Jeremy and his assistant Alicia worked very hard on the details to make sure everything flowed and was organized. Their professionalism made it easy on so many levels. When you use Ray the DJ especially ask for Jeremy.
GUEST




DJ Robert performed above and beyond the call of duty for my wedding. He was fexible with our meetings before the wedding, and respectful of our very different requests concerning our ceremony and reception. All my guests at my wedding commented on how great the music selections were! He read the crowd, and kept the energy up all night! I was glad that I put my trust in DJ Robert for song selection for the reception (open dancing) rather than selecting all the songs to play.
Ray the DJ (the company) worked with my budget, and every email was replied to rapidly. I'm so pleased with the service they offered, and would recommend them to EVERY BRIDE in the Phoenix...
GUEST




Ray was amazing. There are other djs in his business, but I would highly recomend Ray! He knows how the keep the party going and get everyone involved. He also has special uplifting that made our ballroom look beautiful. He did our ceremony and party and was outstanding. He listened to what we wanted and was a blast!!
GUEST




We worked with Jeff Barga for our wedding DJ and he is AWESOME! He was very accommodating with our requests and he made sure to play all of the music we requested. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long thanks to Jeff.
Everyone that works in the office is wonderful as well. They were very responsive to my phone calls and emails. If you hire Ray the DJ you will be...
GUEST




We used Jeremy from Ray the DJ and he was wonderful! We met a couple times and he was very organized and gave some useful song choice information. The company was very prompt and dedicated to making my wedding exactly what I wanted. Jeremy was friendly and flexible to do some specific things I wanted. I would recommend him for your wedding!
GUEST




Jeremy did such a wonderful job at my wedding! So easy to work with, and I couldn't have imagined things going any better than they did. Everyone has been telling me how fantastic the music selection was and how much fun they had dancing. Jeremy can certainly count on future business from me and my family!
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ for our wedding. We are very laid back couple and didn't help him with planning out any directions, except one... We just want everyone to dance all night. He made it happen! I am so glad that Ray the DJ service was reccomended to us. We talked with other DJ's, but they just weren't for us. I can not tell you how much fun our guests had, a great portion to how Jermey kept the music flowing. We would reccomned this professional service to ANYONE! Love it!
GUEST




I love Ray! He really made the day just phenomenal! We asked him for all these crazy things, and he was more than willing to make that happen. He listened to all the requsts that I asked for, even took the initiative to understand how to pronounce everyone's name, and took care of last minute requests. At one point in the night, I had asked him if he could hold off on announcing the cutting of the cake, he was more than willing to do things like that. He was like a member of my family at the wedding. He was always willing to ensure that I was taken care of, always touched bases with me, and he tried to cheer me up when I was upset about all the tragedies within our family happened around the time of our wedding. He worked well with all our vendors, he was very attentive to our calls and e-mails getting to them within that day. Great service! Great attitude! He is definitely worth the money we put into his service.
GUEST




DJ Ed Russell was amazing!!! As a musician and a major music geek, I was definitely more than apprehensive about selecting a DJ for my wedding. Ed was not only great with the planning and preliminary stuff (offering great ideas for special dances and moments throughout the reception), but he really showed up on game day as well. He was able to blend perfectly my very specific playlists with a selection of "dance songs" and "crowd pleasers" which gave me everything I wanted my wedding to be, musically, while keeping my guests happy and engaged. I could not have asked for a more perfect reception, and I owe a great deal of that success to (along with having the perfect bride) Ed Russell!!! Throughout the night I felt as though he had known us for years. He knew exactly what to play and when to play it. I would gladly swear by Ed Russell for any occasion.

GUEST




We have had Ray twice for my two daughters weddings. There is non better than Ray. He always keeps the party moving and knows just the right songs to play. He is AWEsome!
GUEST




Marcus from Ray the DJ was awesome to work with! At one point the groom was getting a drink at the bar and the bartender commented to him that she's worked hundreds of weddings and never seen the dance floor having such a good time. And our friends are not traditionally the cut-loose-on-the-dance-floor types. To think I was nervous we'd have an empty floor! He knew just what to play at the right time to masterfully keep the party going - young/old/in-between were all out there having a blast. The do not play list was respected. What more can we ask for? You rock Marcus!
GUEST




‘Randall Lee from Ray the DJ was worth EVERY penny to be the DJ & MC for our wedding. We met with Randall prior to our wedding, he had lots of helpful ideas, we had a few very specific request regarding song timeline plays, and he matched everything perfectly! There were times when we wanted people to dance their booty’s off and others when we wanted it to be very elegant, intimate and romantic…..not matter what time during our wedding it was Randall set the mood accordingly. He was absolutely WONDERFUL, he spent time with us working on our grand entrance song to fit our specific needs. We only wanted an instrumental portion of the song played during our entrance so he wouldn’t be talking over vocals while trying to introduce our bridal party, and he perfected it! Thank you Ray the DJ and especially thank you Randall Lee for making our more perfect than we could have dreamed of.’
GUEST




Jeff the DJ from Ray the DJ is by far the greatest DJ ever. He was able to make the entire evening flow even when things went a little off schedule. Jeff is so much fun and listens to exactly what you want for your wedding music. He was able to go from beautiful jazz music to Lady Gaga all in one night. He had everyone out on the dance floor the entire time. He even continued playing when our car failed to show up to pick us up for our exit. He is extremely professional but also makes your wedding the one where everyone has a great time from Grandma to the ringbearer. If you want to have great music not matter what you like Jeff is the best DJ in town!
GUEST




Jeremy was a great DJ at my wedding. I would recommend him to anyone. He was very helpful with song choices, planning the timeline for the reception, and very friendly.
GUEST




Jeremy DJed for my wedding and was amazing! Him and his assistant were both so great to work with. They were very professional in all dealings and were very reliable. They did just what we asked for, provided exactly the mood we wanted and were very easy to get a hold of and communicate with. I would use them again in a heartbeat! He knows his stuff and is a really good DJ, I highly recommend.
GUEST




We had Ray the DJ for our wedding. He was amazing and everything we could have hoped for. Throughout the evening he played music for all ages and was able to feel the crowd out well! He communicated with us the entire evening to make sure we were ready for all of the events and to make sure everything was going well. We got several complements from our guest and there was always a crowd on the dance floor.
GUEST




We couldn't have had a more perfect wedding without this DJ team. We are so thrilled to have the memories that we have for our special day. They were right on top of everything from the very beginning of the ceremony to the end of the reception with professionalism the entire time. Our requests were met and then some, our crowd was thoroughly entertained, this has been the comments we have heard from the guests themselves. The event moved smoothly without incident, it was obvious that this team took a personal interest in the success of our wedding day. My husband and I do recommend this team for any occassion. Thank you Jeremy and your lovely assistant for exceeding our expectations.
Sincerely,
David and Cara Hartman
GUEST




Jeremy with Ray the DJ was fabulous! He did a wonderful job at really listening and understanding what type of event our wedding to be at it was perfect......a great party with people dancing all night long!! Jeremy's music was perfect and he (and everyone else with Ray the DJ) was amazing to work with.
GUEST




Jeremy was my DJ for my wedding in September and he was fabulous! Throughout the entire process we communicated with each and we even met to discuss the night of the event. He goes above and beyond! Why look else where, when the best is right here!
GUEST




Jeremy was amazing and absolutely wonderful to work with! He walked us through the process and met with us a couple times before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page and comfortable with the timeline. Not only was he fun and the perfect MC for our reception but he played exactly what we wanted throughout the entire night. I was also surprised that he had every single song that was requested by us and our guests whether brand new or super old. I would recommend him to any bride who wants a stress free experience with her DJ. Jeremy was perfect!!!!!
GUEST




Ray was so great!! He was totally on top of everything leading up to the wedding- he called me to go over pronunciations of names and to make sure he had the correct versions of our special dance songs. The day of the wedding he got the wedding party fired up for our grand entrance and kept the party going all night long. He played our must-plays and did a great job of incorporating other fun music. The dance floor was full all night long!!
GUEST




Ed Russell was the perfect DJ for our wedding. Classy yet casual, he immediately got the tone we wanted to set for our ceremony and reception. Planning a Phoenix wedding from Boston wasn’t easy, but he made the musical element so seamless, even working with our friends who sang the processional music to provide them with instrumental backup. He nailed the wedding party welcome at the start of the reception, and kept us on schedule with the cake cutting and last dance. Guests raved about him and were on the dance floor the whole time. He even helped with my brother with a surprise brother/sister dance, followed by a break dance routine my brother did that our families are STILL talking about! He was so great to work with, and we were so happy with the results. If we lived in the Phoenix area, we’d hire him for all of our celebrations!

The very moment I booked this DJ service, everything was exactly the way I hoped it would go. Simple booking process, Brenda the Office Manager was easy to work with, get ahold of, answer any questions. Then she booked Jeff as our DJ and I cannot tell you how amazing he was. We met with him went over song lists, likes/dislikes and he was so easy to talk with. He also can do music editing because my husband is a big sublime fan so we did our grand intro to Pawn Shop and he edited it to loop with the bridal party entrance song. Super cool! He played awesome music all night, was a big part of keeping the crowd alive and dancing. He also made rounds to each of the tables to get feedback and song requests. Nice touch. Thank you for making our night magical!

We LOVED DJ Jeremy!! I don't think there was a single time in the night where the dance floor wasn't packed with people. We had many comments from people in attendance about how good he was. We also had a slideshow and he played music videos throughout the night. We haven't seen that at any of the wedding we've been to.
The whole Ray The DJ team was helpful throughout the planning process. Whenever we had a concern or question they were very responsive and helpful in answering us. I can't imagine you could go wrong with anyone on their team.
GUEST




What a guy!!! Fun, outgoing really got the party started. He was a joy to have for the evening MC our events. He started the introduction of family and wedding party to "Let's get the Party Started"!!! Before we event got food started everyone attending was on the dance floor and the dancing continued all night long. Definaltely you need Jeff at your event. He will kick it up to the level you want and expect.
GUEST




We worked with Jeremy and it was a seamless planning experience, which was amazing considering we were planning a wedding from Milwaukee! Jeremy was fabulous and sent us song lists and suggestions before we had our Skype meetings. He understood our style completely and created an incredible night for us that exceeded our expectations. I think everyone's feet were hurting by the end of the night because he had ALL of us up and dancing! I have had friends who attended our wedding that ended up booking Jeremy because of what a wonderful job he did. I'm so glad we chose him and if I had to do it all over again, I'd choose him again. Thank you, Jeremy!
GUEST




Jeremy was great! My husband and I found him very easy to work with. We asked for a few mixes for dances and Jeremy was great at helping us with our special requests. He was very friendly and professional and will help you along through the planning process as much as you need. We certainly recommend Jeremy!
GUEST




We had heard great things about Ray and when we sat down with him we knew he was someone we could trust. A little older but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to get down with the hip stuff as well. He listened to all our requests and really made our night wonderful! Would HIGHLY recommend... he won't let you down!
GUEST




We were very pleased with our experience with Jeremy of Ray the DJ! We planned a destination wedding in Scottsdale, AZ and relied heavily on preferred vendor lists that we received from various venues. Ray the DJ was constantly on each list and we then found countless positive reviews online as well. Jeremy and the entire Ray the DJ team were very professional and prompt with all communication prior to the wedding. Jeremy took the time to discuss our music preferences at length and provided strong recommendations when needed. At the actual wedding, Jeremy did an amazing job and kept all the guests danced. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Jeremy and the Ray the DJ team and would highly recommend them to other brides and grooms!
GUEST




Ed Russel from Ray the DJ was amazing. When we found out just five weeks before our wedding that the DJ we had originally hired was out of business, Ray the DJ immediately stepped in and Ed put all our fears at bay. He found all the music we requested, and kept the party going for an extra hour! He understood exactly what we wanted for our reception, and we had an absolute blast. Thanks, Ed!
GUEST




Mike and I were looking for an interactive and fun DJ and we got just that with Jeff from Ray the DJ. He was great and he really knows how to do this job well. A DJ is much more than playing music for guests, its interacting with the guests. Jeff went to every table and introduced himself and encouraged requests. So many of our guests commented on how nice this simple gesture was. Mike and I are passionate about our music and it was important that the music represented “us”. When we met with Jeff, Mike had prepared a rather lengthy listing of music for Jeff to play. Jeff was appreciative of our music passion and everyone was up dancing that evening.
GUEST




Ray was Awesome! His music will play forever in our hearts. We would highly recommend him to be your DJ.

GUEST




Ray the DJ was amazing! He was very professional and attentive to our needs. He met with us twice because we didn't have many ideas of what we wanted and was very patient. He kept the party going by changing up the music when people started to sit down. He wanted to ensure he got everyone's name correct so he had us tell him how to pronounce the names. I would definitely recommend him.
GUEST




I really can't say enough good things about Jeremy with Ray the DJ. When Jon and I met with Jeremy- we had some very specific requests for our music choice. We wanted to focus primarily on 60's, 70's, and 80's, and wanted to veer away from any top 40. My husband and I prefer rock, punk and old school country music and were very deliberate in our requests. I must say- Jeremy carried our crowd like it was a piece of cake. I got SO MANY complements on the music! Jeremy was a joy to work with and a lot of fun too!
GUEST




Absolutely hire Ray the DJ and request Ed Russell to be your DJ - HE IS INCREDIBLE and did an awesome job at our wedding. I can't say enough good things about Ed, he had some of the best ideas, understood our vision 100%, is a blast to be around, and allowed us to have an amazing party at our wedding reception. Leading up to the wedding he was wonderful to work with and took care of a lot of special requests from us - and of course, the wedding reception was amazing as well. Highly highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.
GUEST




We had Randall from Ray the DJ at our wedding and he was absolutely fabulous. When we first sat down to talk with him a few weeks ahead of the wedding, we felt so comfortable with him - we sat at starbucks for multiple hours just talking about life! We knew that he had a good feel for us and what we wanted and that made me rest easy. He played exactly the right songs to keep everybody energized but also still played enough variety to satisfy all the different ages and types of people in the room. I couldn't even tell you at this point which songs he even played ... all I remember is that he kept it feeling like one big constant party the whole time and that is exactly what we wanted! Great job Randall, we will use you again whenever we have the need! Thank you so much!!!
GUEST




Ray was amazing! He was so great to work with in the planning - he had great suggestions and ideas. And the night of our wedding, it could not have been better. He helped keep us on track, even despite the lengthy speeches. His timing with our our requested music could not have been better. Our guests (and us) could not wait to hit the dancefloor. Thanks Ray!
GUEST




We used Ray the DJ on recommendation from our venue and ended up working with Jeff who was absolutely wonderful. We knew when we first met him that he would be a perfect DJ for our wedding. He was just fun to talk to, had a great sense of humor and was always laughing. He ran our ceremony and reception perfectly, keeping all of our guests dancing all night long (and this was on a Sunday night!). My dad and I did a surprise hip hop dance for our father-daughter dance and Jeff worked with us on cutting music and put the whole thing together for us. He was the perfect DJ and I would recommend him to anyone!
GUEST




DJ JEREMY was awesome! He played great music and did an amazing job catering to our needs. our music was a little complicated and he did an amazing job making sure that everything went smoothly. He did a great job hosting the evening and playing appropriate music at the appropriate times. The wedding was a great success due to Jeremy's profesionalism and talent as a DJ. If you want to make sure everyone has a great time at your wedding, book DJ JEREMY!
GUEST




If anyone knows how to get the party going its the DJ. Ray did not disappoint! Our guests had an amazing time and the dance floor was packed all night! There is definitely a reason why he is one of the number one DJs in AZ!
GUEST




Jeff at Ray the DJ did such an amazing job with our Ceremony and Reception music. My guests had so much fun.

Originally, my uncle was supposed to provide the entertainment for our wedding. However, plans changed as my uncle retired from DJ'ing and was able to sell his equipment. Ray the DJ stepped in and did a great job. My uncle said that Ray was definitely a professional and was amazing. We enjoyed Ray's real enthusiasm (some DJ's just act fake) as well as his attentiveness. His song selection outside of what we asked for kept the reception going and everyone having a good time. Our reception was a blast and that is mostly due to Ray's work.
GUEST




Jeff was AWESOME!!!! He made our wedding sooooo much fun! I wish we could have another wedding just so we have another party with Jeff. He honestly enjoys what he does - and you can totally tell. He makes everyone feel comfortable. We had a smaller wedding - of about 83 guests - but he made sure the dance floor was packed most of the night. We don't like traditional "cheesy" wedding music - so I had created a hug "do not play" list. Jeff totally made it work. And, everyone LOVED him. I cannot say enough nice things about him. He is amazing!!!!
GUEST




In the hands of professionals!
Andy Arns was the DJ for my wedding and he did an excellent job! Everything went off without a hitch (even when he needed to improvise a little bit). He has a great deal of experience and that was evident when the big day finally came. I was pleased to have Andy and Ray the DJ as my vendor.
Ray is a wonderful DJ and emcee. He listens to what you really want and gives exactly that.I have personally worked with Ray Grace and give him my highest recommendation.
Ray the DJ is AMAZING and so great to work with!
Ray The DJ, is definitely the greatest Wedding Entertainment Service in existence. Ray, helped me grow my business, and myself as a person when I was starting off. Ray is a fabulous MC, an unbelievably great DJ, and the greatest Mentor. The entire team of Ray The DJ is great and heart-warming. I strive to be as great as Ray, and although I fall short, I will continue trying. There are very few other DJ's I recommend when I dont have availability for a Wedding, but my first recommendation has always been Ray.
Ray and his team are incredible to work with. They know exactly how to keep the party going and will make sure your wedding will be a memorable event!
Not only is Ray himself a good man and a lot of fun, but any and all of Ray the DJ professional disc jockeys take care of their clients with honor, dignity, and class. They are fun to work with and keep the party moving! ~ Adam & Amy Van Liew, Owners, Life's Story Studios

Best DJ around, really listens to the client and plays all the right music.
Love working with him.
I have the chance to see lots of different DJ's at wedding receptions. When Ray the DJ or any of his professional DJs are there - it's sure to be an amazing night. I can't remember a single wedding where the dance floor wasn't packed when Ray the DJ was working his magic with the music.
I have worked with Ray the DJ and their staff and DJ Jeff are impeccable. Love the great service.
Ray the DJ and all the DJs with him are awesome!! We have been using them for years and have never been disappointed. They will always be a part of our preferred list of vendors.
Ray and his associated DJs really listen to what couples want and make sure to incorporate what you have said into the evening. Professional Wedding DJ's like Ray and his associates make a HUGE difference in how well the evening ultimately turns out. We wholeheartedly recommend Ray and his DJ's!
Ray is one of the absolute finest DJs and we highly recommend his services!
If you want a DJ who will definitely please your guest--Ray's your guy. I have heard some awful DJ's, and Ray is head and shoulders above the rest. He realizes that his speakers are not to be the focus of everybody's attention at the reception! (And how many times have we heard DJs that blast you out of the room! He plays appropriate music at a reasonable sound level that lets your guests converse. And trust me, that's important! He's prepared, professional, and smooth as silk!
Ray has a knack for getting the crowd motivated while remaining professional throughout the event. I love working with him and I know his clients do too!
I nicknamed Ray the DJ 'Silk' because he is such a smooth DJ. He is very experienced and can work with any type of group. He is very polished and instinctive, not to mention he has some great tunes.
Ray is awesome and a real joy to work with!
From a professional bridal consultant's perspective, working with the caliber of entertainment specialist such as Ray the DJ is simply divine. He makes my job and your wedding flawless! Thanks Ray!
