Darren is the simply best! If you are looking for a DJ for a wedding or any type of event look no further!!
We flew him in from London to DJ our wedding in California & we can’t recommend him enough! He brought the energy all weekend long!! During the reception he had everyone dancing & made sure the party lasted all night. He’s not just a DJ - he sings, he dances, he is truly an entertainer! He has a great ability to read a room to help amp the party up! Everyone absolutely loved him & he made the wedding weekend so special for my husband and I. He is also an amazing person & we feel we have gained a lifelong friend. We cannot thank him enough! ❤️
