    The Perfect Evening

    Tony with Ray the DJ was outstanding. He completely understood our vibe and our guests. Everything we discussed went off without a hitch, including special shoutouts and information about us. He made the right amount of announcements without making too many interruptions. Tony was very kind and easy to work with. We couldn’t imagine a better DJ!!

    Simply Phenomenal

    We were SO happy with Tony at Ray the DJ for our wedding reception! The music was perfect and we had a great time dancing and singing the night away. Would recommend to anyone!

    Best DJ Ever!!!

    Marcus was very professional and kept the party going! Marcus was exceptionally good at communicating with the bride and groom regarding the music flow and reading the dance floor. After the wedding all of our guests talked about how amazing the music and atmosphere was. All of our party animal guests, grandmas, and kids were pleased! We highly recommend Marcus to DJ at any wedding!

    Tony is The Man for Matrimony!!!

    We cannot say enough about Tony, and Ray the Dj services! First off let’s go back two years ago when we experienced Ray the Dj services at multiple weddings, one being my brother and sister in laws. So we knew when we got engaged, Ray the Dj was our first deposit for the day! Tony was amazing. Communication, zoom calls, emails, whatever we needed he was fast to respond and his attention to detail of our vision was phenomenal! Trust in him, when it came down to it we knew what songs we wanted, but we weren’t sure where to cut them off for ceremony and trusting him was the best thing we ever did; because he’s a damn good Dj and he did his research with everyone of our songs. When it came to our reception the feedback from everyone was, that’s the most fun they had at a wedding in a long time! The request to Tony was keep us on the dance floor and that’s exactly what he did! Our entire bodies hurt for three days that how well he kept the party going. 😂 the party wouldn’t have been what it was without Tony and Ray the Dj services.
    We will be sending Tony some videos as well!

    Competitive pricing & kept the party going all night!

    I HIGHLY recommend Ray the DJ! Our assigned DJ was Marcus--we had a great initial phone call with him where we discussed our taste in music and our vision for our big day. He even suggested we do a special anniversary dance for all couples, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. We used his online tool to list our favorite songs and must-plays. During the reception, he kept the events flowing and introduced everyone perfectly. The dance floor was PACKED ALL NIGHT. Our wedding guests love to dance, sure, but all the fun was largely because of Marcus keeping the party alive. He played many songs off of our list but played other songs we didn't previously think of to fit the mood and vibe. Our guests kept telling us how amazing he was and how they had never seen so many people dancing. We highly recommend Ray the DJ and Marcus!

    Set the tone for an excellent time

    Our wedding DJ, Tony, was absolutely incredible! Not only did he keep the dance floor packed during the reception, but he also did an amazing job incorporating our different cultural traditions into the music selection. We had guests from all over the world, and everyone had a fantastic time. I still get so many compliments on the music. We couldn't have asked for better DJ and MC services for our special day. Thank you so much, Tony!

    Perfect experience!

    I hired a Dj through Ray the DJ and was so happy with them! Teffanie was my wedding DJ and she was so organized and helpful! She was very open to some of my nontraditional ideas and was able to make them come alive. She worked seamlessly with my day-of-coordinator and they skillfully keep the wedding on schedule and kept the party going! I had a smaller wedding so I was worried that there wouldn’t be a lot of dancing but she was able to get everyone going until the end of the night. I gladly recommend working with Teffanie and would do it again in a heartbeat!

    Choose Ray the DJ!

    We had Dan from Ray the DJ for our wedding, and it was the best decision we made! The music was super important to me because my family loves to dance, so we knew we needed a DJ who could keep the party going all night long. Dan did just that! He took care of the audio and music for our ceremony, and from the dinner music to the dance music, there was one great song after the next! Dan also checked in with us throughout the wedding to ensure that we were happy with how things were going. He was such a kind, fun, and all around great guy. Everyone agreed the music was absolutely fabulous, and I didn't even want to leave the dance floor to get a drink! My whole family said that even when it was time to leave, they wanted to keep dancing the night away. Choose Ray the DJ for your next event to make sure it is a blast!

    Extremely talented, and very professional!

    Tony absolutely knocked it out of the park for us. We had a bit of a last minute hic up, and Tony was able to turn heel and save the day. Outside of that, he was both extremely professional and accommodating.

    He went out of the way to play some Greek music for us, which was never something we asked for and it had honestly ment so much to the groom and his side of the family. We had the entire venue busting it down on the dance floor with modern hits for the younger crowd and classics for the older generations.

    I would absolutely go through Tony again for any future events we may have.

    Wonderful Experience with a Great DJ!

    James Mennes is a pro. We needed a DJ quickly and he exceeded all of our expectations and did exactly what we had hoped for! It was easy working with Brenda and RaytheDJ team. A true pleasure and we are so thankful we chose them. Our venue also changed last minute and James jumped right in. Definitely consider this firm!

    Ray the DJ's reply:

    Thank you Rich!

    James very much enjoyed being part of your celebration - last minute venue change and all! :)

    Superb Service

    In the words of our 7 year old nephew, "BEST DJ EVER"! Everyone from 2 to 82 absolutely loved Ray and the music played. Ray understood how important wedding is to us both and how we did not want to treat our wedding like a sporting event. He perfectly planned what he would play when and made sure the dance floor was never empty!

    Ray the DJ's reply:

    I knew from the moment we met that we were definitely on the same wavelength regarding the power of music. I totally enjoy playing for a variety of ages & witnessing how the music unites everyone. So happy to hear that your 7 year old nephew enjoyed himself as well :-) Also it was especially meaningful to know how special the ceremony song "Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana" was. Your planning was perfectly personal as epitomized by the intimate "family feasting table." Thank you so much for including me in your celebration. I wish you the very best always & in all ways.

    James with Ray the DJ

    As a wedding planner, I have worked with dozens of DJs and they are not all created equal. A great DJ is highly skilled at mixing music and reading the crowd and James was just that…a GREAT DJ! From our first point of contact he was responsive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Everything about the ceremony and reception flow of music was flawless. The dance floor was packed and the bride and groom we very pleased with the level of service James provided.

    So Great to Work With!

    We hired Ray the DJ through our venue, Villa Siena in Gilbert. The online planner was a big help in deciding what songs we needed for different aspects of our event (different parts of the ceremony, dinner music, special dances, etc.), some that I had not thought of. Marcus Trollmann was assigned to our wedding and I would request him again in a heartbeat. He is congenial, flexible and really nice to work with. I'm a bit of a control freak, but found myself comfortable leaning on his expertise. I described the feel we wanted for different parts of the wedding/dinner/reception and he executed it beautifully. The mark of a great DJ is being able to read the crowd and get them up and dancing - Marcus is a master.

    Dan@Ray the DJ is Excellent!

    Dan from Ray the DJ did a wonderful job at our daughter's wedding! He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The ceremony and reception flow of music was flawless and the dance floor was full all evening. Everyone had so much fun! Before the wedding day he took the time to meet in person with my daughter and her fiance to finalize their wishes for the music and flow of the evening.
    We are very happy we chose them and highly recommend Dan!!

    James @ Ray the DJ was GREAT!!!

    We would like to say a special thank you to our wedding DJ, James Mennes! James was extremely professional, and after our first zoom chat, I knew we were in the best hands. He not only was a pro at formatting and itinerary, James was familiar with all of our music and made it a point to customize the playlist to Merril and I, from start to finish. You went above and beyond for us James, not only the icing on the cake, but the cherry on top! If you are looking for a DJ, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND James to make your big day truly amazing!

    Ray the DJ's reply:

    James said that you and Merril were easy to work with, very relaxed and fun! He especially enjoyed the wide range of music that you and your guests liked and had fun reading the crowd to keep everyone happy. Your guests were very kind and hospitable and wanted to dance! It was nice to have such an enthusiastic and loving group that wanted to have fun in the face of the Covid situation.

    James also said “We should all be so lucky to have family and friends like theirs…”

    Amazing experience

    James was a wonderful DJ, very responsive and spent time with us before the wedding to make sure it was how we wanted it. We could not have been more pleased with him. Our wedding guests loved him and he made our wedding special and VERY fun! From the ceremony, to the reception and first dances, to the dance floor -- it was all great and very memorable! Thank you, James, for being you! We had a blast.

    Ray the DJ: Marcus our Hero!

    We had Marcus from Ray the DJ and he made our evening a dream come true! Not only did he help procure a playlist perfectly tailored to us as a couple, but he was super flexible and even helped provide us with uplighting and dance lighting. He was extremely knowledgeable and walked us through so many great ideas about how to make our reception unique and heartfelt while never missing out on our party time. He helped me keep my cool as a bride through the whole event and made sure the evening was everything we wanted. We cannot recommend this company or Marcus enough!

    Best DJ Service!!!!

    Hiring Ray the DJ for our wedding was the best decision we have ever made. Marcus was our DJ and he wasn’t just the best DJ we could’ve ever had, he has now become a friend to my husband and I. We got engaged in April 2019, with a set plan of having our wedding at Villa Siena on October 3, 2020. When we signed our contract at the venue they told us, trust us, you want Marcus to DJ your event and we will do everything we can to make that happen. We get the email shortly after that Marcus is our DJ and we have our first meeting with him. I knew right from the beginning that it was going to be a fun event. He brought energy to the table and had some amazing ideas about song selection. He also has a business called Phoenix Uplighting and he can provide you with personalized monograms, beautiful up lights and sparklers to take your event to the next level. We were so excited to have our wedding on October 3, 2020, but then Covid had other plans. We were devastated and didn’t know if we should postpone or not. We made the difficult decision to hold off hosting our wedding celebration until April 16, 2021. There was one problem though, I wasn’t sure if Marcus was going to be available for the new date. So I called him, pretty sure I was crying and he told me don’t worry, I’m available, we will make all the changes we need to make and he helped put our minds at ease. My husband and I ended up getting married on our original date and planned on doing everything again, ceremony through reception on April 16th with all of our family and friends. Marcus communicated with us every step of the way. Marcus made our event what is was. He was professional, up beat, and had the best song selection. Marcus also helped mix two songs together for the father/daughter dance! Our guests keep asking about him. He did a beautiful monogram for us that included our original date with gorgeous up lights and surprised us with sparklers during our grand entrance into the ballroom. We danced the night away and having Marcus there made the night truly unforgettable. He also speaks four different languages including Italian which I am. He introduced us in Italian as well as English and my Nonna was so excited about it. It was the personal touches that made it so very special. We are blessed to know Marcus. If you guys are looking for a DJ service in the Phoenix area, look no further, Ray the DJ is where it’s at. And trust us, you want Marcus!

    Hire Jeremy immediately!

    Hiring Ray the DJ was one of our very best decisions when planning our wedding! Jeremy was the very best DJ we could have asked for--he was communicative, helpful, efficient, and he had the absolute BEST music choices throughout our Sunday brunch wedding! We had no idea what type of music to play at a brunch wedding, and he really stepped up and could not have done a better job. He even found great acoustic covers of some songs we'd put on our recommended list! Plus, we were SO appreciative of how he kept the entire ceremony and reception running smoothly without being too talkative or over-the-top. Thank you for making our wedding so fantastic, Jeremy!
