David was awesome and did an amazing job at both the ceremony area and the reception. He was very flexible and allowed us to keep him over our original time frame. Thanks again David Kevin & Mystie read more

When my husband and I began to plan our wedding, we discussed how big or small. Courtroom or venue, dress up or casual. Once we made the decision to have an actual wedding and guests. We had to have a DJ and announcer. I turned to wedding sites like and Google. Up came David. The Family Friendly DJ. Reading his reviews he came highly recommended and when he and I talked I knew he was the one. David had a great worksheet he sent asking about music for the arrival of the guests, entrance of the wedding party and bride. He had questions about music for the first dance, father/daughter dance and so much more. He came prepared and he delivered. We had so much fun and David made our wedding and celebration after that much better!! Thanks David! read more

See all

David DJ'ed our wedding last week. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Right from the beginning he was extremely professional and easy to work with. We began with a phone call and a discussion about what we wanted, including music styles we like, what kind of reception we wanted, how much we wanted him to MC , etc. His vast years of experience really shown through, as he asked all the right questions, helped us think about things we hadn't thought of, and even helped us tweak our timeline. He made really good suggestions and gave his reasons for making them. But, was VERY flexible and was always trying to give us what we wanted. Consider this. He has seen over 2 decades of weddings. Most of us have not. David was perfectly punctual , set up multiple stations with no help needed, and was polite to everyone. He checked in with me (the groom) often to make sure we were ready, and that all were present and accounted for, for all the important moments like the special dances and toasts etc. Now the good part. The Music and dancing. He was perfect. Many DJ's will try to make your reception about themselves and their "DJ Skilz"... David made it about us. He read the room and people's response to the music, and kept people on the dance floor. HE KNOWS WHAT WORKS. We had such a good time dancing and partying into the night. He took our genres we liked and strung them together wonderfully. We had people in their 70s dancing, and teenagers dancing. And, ZERO people were bored. He's very smart, and will steer you away from "vibe killing" songs. (November Rain by Guns n Roses might be a classic, but it's probably going to kill your reception). He played very contemporary music, and classics that brought the house down. To sum up.. David made our wedding better, David made our reception fun, David made our wedding less stressful. read more

A Family Friendly DJ - DJs Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

David and his team were a wonderful addition to our All Service Academies Ball - All aspects were fantastic from simple booking process, billing and the BEST music and engagement with our event attendees. His family military service was also a perfect fit. We thank you for your service, David, and for putting the FUN into our event. read more

Our DJ David was absolutely phenomenal!! We went with a lot of classical music for our ceremony and that is not easy to do since many versions of classical pieces exist. He did a perfect job finding the exact versions of my favorite pieces. When it was time to boogie down and dance with family he played the absolute best lineup of songs that got even my non-dancing family on the floor. I gave David very little directiom as far as music goes and he exceeded any expectations I had with his music choices. A truly amazing night and a truly amaIng DJ!! Thank you for everything David!!!!! read more

Fantastic experience. Everthing you'd want from initial planning to executing an amazing experience. ​

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We used David for our wedding last weekend. He was very communicative with us during the entire process, beginning months in advance. He gave us tons of advice and tips when it came to the flow of the evening. He had a lot of great ideas about how to keep our guests involved (our favorite being the Anniversary dance). He showed up a few hours early to set-up and complete numerous sound checks, which definitely showed his professionalism and drive to want the day to go perfect. He even helped my (now) husband tie his tie, as no one at the venue knew how to! LIFE SAVER. Our timeline was thrown off due to catering issues. He checked-in with us during that time period to talk about how we should proceed with the evening. Long story short, when you need a DJ, call A Family Friendly DJ. read more

Mixed reviews with David from A Family Friendly DJ. Plus: he was prompt, well organized and timely. He was self-sufficient to set up and tear down all his equipment. He asked for music preferences and stuck to our "squeeky clean" choice. Minus: he was really inflexible on some things and that made it hard to work with. First example was the bridal march song that was chosen had a specific part that the bride and groom wanted the song to end on (due to a very meaningful lyric). David was absolutely immovable about working with this request and wouldn't even try to consider it saying he only would fade out the music when the bride arrived at the alter no matter what. I tried to reason that this was a very important request from the bride and groom and even the officiant was on board but he still would not budge. The second issue we had was when the bride and groom were ready to get the special dances going in order to stick to a tight timeline, David absolutely REFUSED to call the bride and groom out to start the dances until we had EVERYONE for the toasts (which came 40 minutes later) seated and ready to go. There were 3 other dances and cutting the cake that needed to occur before this but he would still not start until everyone was seated. This really interrupted people's time visiting AND set our timeline behind by 20 minutes. This caused the time available at the end to just party and dance to be cut very short and really disrupted the whole vibe of the reception. I would also mention that even though the music choice was "squeeky clean", the selection chosen was pretty out of date and could have been better. Just because we didn't want foul language and vulgar lyrics doesn't mean we don't want great music that is current or classic. read more

I met David as he was DJ'ing a wedding that I was filming, and we instantly hit it off. Some DJ's just start a music playlist and let things go, but David takes it up a level as his professionalism shines through his personality and ability to read the crowd. I was engaged at the time and pretty much decided on the spot that I wanted David to DJ my wedding, and he didn't disappoint. David's song selection was well suited to our wedding's style, he MC'd to keep things moving, and was very flexible and  attentive to our requests. There's never a dull moment when A Family Friendly DJ is behind the spin decks, I would highly, highly recommend him for you wedding, graduation, or pretty much any event that needs a skilled DJ to drop the beats! read more

David was so wonderful to work with! We hired him for our wedding in August, and he took so much time and care in helping to make our day truly special. From helping us find the music we wanted to coordinating the events during the reception, he made sure everything ran seamlessly. Would highly recommend! read more

David do-ed my wedding; he was amazing! Not only did he take the time to sit down and see what type of music theming we wanted, but he even went and got songs that he didn't have that we knew we had to have played. We knew that all our requests would be fulfilled, and he went above and beyond in engaging our guests and making it a fun party for everyone in attendance, from grandparents to little ones. Everyone had a blast singing and dancing about. His friendly mannerisms and welcoming spirit made for such a great party and I would have him do any event that I would throw in the future! read more

David was an amazing DJ! He asked all the right questions to really understand our musical tastes and the vibe we wanted for our wedding and reception, and he completely nailed it. He was right on time, completely professional, had himself set up and going before our guests arrived and the music never stopped until we were winding down. David also kept things rolling with our event as an emcee and started the event with such a strong understanding of what we wanted, that I never once had to worry about what he was doing or what was happening with our music. I can't recommend him enough and will for sure use him again if we ever need a DJ. read more

We were married last weekend at The Water Oasis in Newberg, Oregon and I couldn't wait to leave a stellar review for David. We are so happy to have had David with us as our DJ and emcee. I highly recommend his service! We had quite a few calls with him leading up to our special day as well as emails and text messages which helped to ensure all bases were covered. We really appreciate that. David wanted us to have the best day ever (we did!), and was very thoughtful and professional the entire planning process and day of. It was a longer drive for him to our venue, and he made sure to get to our venue with ample time to set up. He also made sure that my brother (who was our ceremony musician) had what he needed. Everyone was able to hear perfectly during our ceremony thanks to David. He played all of the music we hoped for, and was great at leading a game for us as well as the music for our specialty dances. David has great insight into receptions and what works well. We are so happy to have had you with us David, thanks again! read more

I have had the pleasure of experiencing David's DJ-ing services three times. two times were for my friends weddings. David is professional, easy going, and very customer friendly. One of the two experiences I actually got to work with him because I was the wedding coordinator and again, David was very professional, easy to work with. Every transition was very smooth and worry free. The third and most recent experience was for my own wedding. From the first planning phone call all the way up to the day before our wedding David was very patient, flexible, and responsive. His music choice is appropriate for the occasion. We even had traditional Chinese music which he had no problems playing. I would highly recommend David the Family Friendly DJ! read more

Dave was an awesome choice for a DJ. Our wedding reception was fairly short (only 3 hours), but he made sure that we understood his worries beforehand. He was upfront with everything and we had no surprises with him. We were a little stressed out going into the reception, but he was able to put our minds at ease as he worked his music magic. Every request we had was met with a good discussion on how he'd seen it done previously and how it may work out. All the music we asked for was present (including a few Spanish songs) and he made the night incredible for everyone! For example, even though it was our wedding day, it was also our niece's fourth birthday, so he invited everyone to sing to her. We think she was as happy with it as we were. read more

David DJ'd at my wedding in November of 2016 and he was amazing! I can't believe I forgot to review him back then. He kept the crowd going, had a great selection of music, and was a wonderful MC. He was very professional, and a pleasure to work with. What prompted me to write this review now you ask? Well, David is so awesome, that I have been looking up his information because I have recommended him to 3 of my coworkers with upcoming weddings, and one of them is already wanting to use him! He is reasonably priced, and great at his job. read more

My son was married last Saturday. Since he is an only child and we wanted to make a great impression on the brides family, we were very particular about the reception, cake, music, etc.. This DJ is by far the best. He worked with the bride to play the music she wanted. When things were not quite right ,he improvised with the coordinator to make it happen as if everything was planned that way. He covered our miscues and problems and made it all come together. True professional and a gentleman. Cant say enough good about him. read more

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with David for our wedding May 2018. David was professional and helped my wife and I through the process start to finish. His questions, comments, and years of knowledge were reassuring. David always worked with us and his suggestions when we didn't necessarily have preference, were perfect. He was set up and everything was ready beforehand. His music throughout the evening(6hrs) was consistently on point and perfect for cake cutting, announcement, toasts, dancing etc.. The dancing never stopped and people were incredibly impressed with the reception and enjoyment of the evening. The entire time David exceeded all possible expectations and truly made the experience working with him awesome. He was a great MC on top of being an excellent DJ. We would 100% absolutely recommend David, A Family Friendly DJ! read more

After seeing David do an awesome job at 2 different weddings, we had to have him for our event. David was the DJ at our annual Young Marine Ball. What an event it was! Never have I seen to many kids on a dance floor. We asked a lot of David for this event as he narrated important and special events during the ball for the cake cutting ceremony as well as the emotional reading for the POW Table. David did a fantastic job keeping the night memorable for our deserving kids. They danced the night away to great music and great energy. We will be asking him back each and every year! read more

David was the DJ for my son's wedding reception; it was awesome! He was helpful, professional, and timely. His music selection is wide and clean. David is easy to communicate with and flexible in his approach. Please consider him for your next event; you won't regret it! read more

David was great, he showed up for my daughter's 13th birthday with short notice, then had an awesome dj set up!!!! lights and all, He also was able to play everysong she had on her wish list is was a fun evening thanks to David!!! read more

David is an amazing DJ! I have been to several events where he's been the DJ. He has made each event so much fun! So when it came time to choose a DJ for my sons wedding the choice was clear! He made the whole process so easy. He gave us a 'Wedding Music Questionnaire' that helped us consider every detail, many I hadn't even thought of. He went over the whole thing with us step by step to make sure we were all on the same page. On the day of the wedding while I was busy greeting guest and enjoying the day David kept the party moving. I really think the guest stayed longer and had more fun because of the environment David created. So if you are planning an event and need a DJ I highly recommend David! read more

Looking for a wedding or party DJ? LOOK NO FURTHER! David Child was a perfect DJ for my daughter's wedding. He is incredibly flexible and responsive. He talked to the bride several times before the even to ensure he had a very good idea of their musical tastes, ideas, and plans. He didn't flinch at any request. At the reception, the music was flawless. He hosted for us by announcing each next event and kept the party going at a smooth and fun pace. He has an amazing set-up which includes dance lights (used only when appropriate) which made for great party and dance pictures. David happily accepted any musical requests which made it so much fun for those in attendance. We LOVED working with him and would and will hire him again in a heartbeat. David Child is a humble, kind, friendly and professional man and turns out to be the best DJ our family has ever worked with. We received many positive comments during the wedding reception from family and friends there. Need great party music? David Child is your guy! read more
