CURATED FOR YOUR BIG DAY

We decided we wanted a DJ rather late in the planning process. So we proceeded to do a lot of research on DJs in the Bay Area for weddings. We poured over so many reviews, and one particular DJ/company stood out, and that was this one: Total DJ. We reached out to them, and heard back from Trevor (who I believe is the owner of the company). It was great talking with him on the phone, and we were immediately sold on having him booked for our wedding.

We were able to discuss our vision for the wedding, what specific songs we wanted played, what genres of music we loved. Over the last few months, we were able to add songs to a list on their website, that we wanted played, and of course songs we didn't want played!

Originally we were going to have Trevor have 3 different set-ups for our wedding, since they were in different spots at the venue: the ceremony, cocktail/patio area, and reception, but the rain had different plans. At the last minute we had to move everything to inside. As stressful as things were, we knew we didn't have to worry about Trevor getting everything situated.

During the ceremony, he was able to have our officiant and I mic'd. He also made sure we were moving along as our schedule dictated. I really appreciated his dedication to ensure everything went smoothly. Later, he provided microphones to the people who wanted to give speeches. Finally he was able to play the music we loved, as well as mix in different songs that really got people out on the dancefloor.

I highly recommend this DJ, especially Trevor, if you're ever having an event, especially a wedding! For those of you on the fence about getting a DJ, like we were previously, go ahead and do it! The peace of mind is priceless!

I researched a bunch of DJs before I chose Trevor. We had an initial call where we dove into details about music and timelines. He is very experienced and asked a lot of questions that made me think about the vibe we wanted for our wedding. I felt so good after I talked to him and knew he was the one.

I really appreciated how flexible he was. When we had to push our wedding out a year due to Covid, he was super easy to work with and updated our date without any charge. I loved that he was also willing to tack on time to his services last minute (literally during the wedding). Our venue didn't have noise restrictions but I wasn't sure if folks would be dancing after 11pm so didn't want to commit to 12am until the day of. My guests were having so much fun on the dance floor that I walked up to Trevor at 10:30pm and asked him if he could extend from 11pm to 12am. He did so with a smile and kept the dance floor alive.

He is also very honest and understanding. About 2 weeks before the wedding, we decided to move the dance floor from inside the barn to outside on the patio due to the mask mandate. We had originally rented uplighting from Trevor but when I asked him if we still needed it, he was honest and said it wouldn't make much of a difference now that the dance floor was outside. He let me remove it from the contract with no issues. I thought it was really cool that he was so chill and fair about everything.

He was a great emcee and gives off a great vibe. My guests all loved him and said he was super nice. We sent him a Spotify playlist of the type of music we liked for the ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, etc and he stuck with our genres and the feel we were going for. He let me bounce a bunch of questions off of him about the music for the ceremony, grand entrances, first dances and more. He arrived super early to get set up and make sure he was prepared. He also sent me some photos/videos that he took from the evening.

He was so cool and chill-- I would 100% work with him again. I will be referring him to all of my friends who plan to get married. Hire him-- you won't regret it!

If you need more than a DJ!

We hired Trevor Blake before the pandemic and immediately hired him because we could tell he was a true professional. After speaking with him we knew that he would be a great fit for us. He not only played songs that we asked, but he chose his own songs based on the vibes we said we would like and he made the perfect selections!

He is more than just a man who plays music, he will guide you through a smooth ceremony...he even helped me revise my wedding timeline because he knew how to make it flow better. The wedding coordinator we had bailed on us a couple of weeks before because of the pandemic, but Trevor really stepped up and he was essentially my coordinator and the whole day ran smoothly. I'm sure he wouldn't say he is in the "coordinator" business but he has enough experience and is so professional that he mastered it. We were receiving compliments about him all throughout the cocktail hour, dinner, reception and nobody wanted the party to end, me included, because he was great! Go with Trevor Blake and you won't be disappointed!
