We recently had our wedding at Miller's Landing in Lake Arrowhead and Chad was on our recommended vendor list so we reached out! We initially had a zoom call to meet and go over expectations/ideas/and just kind of get to know each other to make sure we were a good fit. We thought he was great so we booked! He asked us to start adding music to our Spotify playlists over the next year so he gets an idea of what we like. We gave him our Do Not Play Playlist and requested that nobody was able to request songs (he held strong with that I know we had a few haha). He checked in the week prior to the wedding to go over changes and specifics and said we were in good hands. And we were! He did great the day of, everything went smoothly and everything was perfect. We did a table photo frenzy with Chad and our photographer, and a shoe game which was great! Our dance floor was popping majority of the night and we are so grateful he helped make our day so perfect. Thank you!! read more

Chad was amazing!!! Whenever I have attended weddings before, the music usually always sounds the same. It's standard, predictable, and sometimes fun but just traditional. Chad was completely different, he used our playlists so it actually felt like our wedding and he also constructed the songs in a sequence that kept the night going the entire time. The music was amazing but the best part of Chad was honestly him. He is so charismatic that he kept everyone engaged from start to finish! He also knew how to really work a microphone and that is not an easy skill. I highly recommend him to anyone for any event!! read more

Chad was absolutely incredible to work with! From start to finish, he was so kind, professional, and thoughtful. He really took the time to meet with us beforehand, listened to our ideas, and patiently helped us shape the flow of the night. We felt so understood and supported throughout the entire process. He was organized, flexible, and made everything feel easy. On our wedding day Chad really brought our vision to life. The dance floor ended up being the highlight of the night. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and made sure everyone--family, friends, and even guests who usually don't dance--were out there having an amazing time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the vibe was exactly what we had hoped for (and more!) We got so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had on the dance floor :) If you want someone who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your event special, Chad is your person. We would recommend him 10/10 times over! read more

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and we owe so much of that to Chad. From the very beginning, he did an awesome job prepping us to make sure we had all the big and little details set for our big day. He was an amazing MC and even more amazing DJ-making sure everyone was enjoying themselves on the dance floor. We never stopped dancing and had an incredible time. If you're on the fence, this is your sign! Book Arrowhead DJ NOW! read more

We got married at Pine Rose in Arrowhead about a month ago and Arrowhead DJ was part of our package BUT I would choose Chad at Arrowhead DJ to host any wedding, party, event, etc 1,000 times over!!! I was super overwhelmed with the timeline and flow of the day but Chad was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with all of my questions leading up to the day and felt like he really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and had all my questions answered. Going into the day, I felt 100% confident Chad and the team had my big day under control. And let me tell you they absolutely did, we heard so many compliments from guests about awesome he was and that he felt like a friend by the end of the night. If you are looking for a DJ.. PICK CHAD! read more

Best DJ around!! We wanted to get married outdoors among the trees and found Pine Rose Weddings in Twin Peaks, CA They have packages and you get to pick your DJ. From the moment I saw Chad and Franky's website I knew they were the DJ's for us! Chad was super responsive and appreciated all my musical choices. He helped me surprise my husband and kept 100 guests dancing through the night! We had a blast!! I we ever need a local good DJ again, Arrowhead DJ is our go to for sure!! Thanks again for a wonderful wedding DJ experience. read more

Leaving this review as a courtesy to all the fellow engaged couples - due to unforeseeable financial troubles we had to halt the wedding process. Kelly was our coordinator and her knowledgeable, kind, humorous, and transparent demeanor throughout the process was beyond a blessing during such uncertain times. I know in the future when we are financially able Pine Rose will be at the top of our list. The venue area was beyond beautiful and offers a refreshing change of pace from city life. read more

Chad was the DJ for our wedding in September and he was absolutely wonderful!! My dad has drummed all his life and is a massive lover of music and upon our vendor date, I knew Chad had everything taken care of with how well he clicked with us, my dad, and the rest of our family. He had wonderful music suggestions and did great with blending multiple genres cohesively. He does a great job in getting to know his couples and is as great a MC as he is a DJ! We have a handful of introverts in our family, and his music even had them dancing which shocked us all and made for such precious memories in our family. Thank you much for your wonderful talent and expertise in making our wedding a day and night that will forever be cherished by us and our families! read more

Chad with Arrowhead DJ was the party master! He kept the vibe going on the dance floor all night and we all had a blast dancing the night away! We threw him a challenge with our grand entrance and he totally nailed it, both the wedding party and guests loved it so much! He made the flow of the evening and moving guests around to where they needed to be go so well. The online form he has for creating our music playlist, requests, and special songs (first dance, etc) made it easy to stay organized and submit everything to him. read more

Highly recommend booking Chad to DJ your wedding! We got married at Twin Peaks Pine Rose and Chad helped orchestrate the events of the evening by guiding our family to the next event and making sure everyone felt the magic of the speeches and music. Gave us great tips on building playlists and made the process very smooth and stress free. Thank you Chad for everything! read more

Chad DJ'd our wedding he was absolutely the best! From the first time we met him and all the way up to the wedding day, he was not only patient with us but he exceeded our expectations. Our guests were non- stop on the dance floor! He truly knows what he is doing, I hands down would recommend him for any future event. Thank you for making our special day even more amazing!! read more

Franky is an amazing officiant! We were referred to her by our photographer when our previously booked officiant went MIA at the last minute. Even on short notice Franky put together a beautiful personalized ceremony for us and handled sending off our license. read more

Chad was amazing! So glad I picked this DJ to work with. The website he uses for inputting songs for your day and writing up the schedule is very user friendly. We had a couple follow up calls after the initial meeting to just make sure everything was correct and it was. I was very specific with music timing for my walk down the aisle and it was PERFECT. Exactly how I imagined it in my head 500 times. I also want to applaud Chad for his upmost professionalism with dealing with my brother and friend. My brother got EXTREMELY drunk. My friend was so so drunk. But when they teamed up together, man... it was like they had it in for the DJ. My brother told him he paid for his services (um no I did) and paid for his tips (um no me again) and he should be playing whatever song he requests because he is financing the night (yeah no...) My friend was being a pain too but maybe not as much as my brother. Both of them were extremely rude to the DJ and he handled it very well. I am sorry they had to deal with it, but the fact that they handled it quietly is really impressive. It could have gotten out of hand and I wouldn't have even been mad because my brother was out of control. He would have deserved it. Thank you, Chad! You and your team are top notch! read more

Chad just DJ'd our wedding this past weekend, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. He was very responsive to what we wanted played, but also had a real feel for the crowd and added the perfect mix to complement our choices. The dance floor was packed all the way to closing time, and many guests raved about how much fun they had. Also, Chad was happy to oblige with particular song orders, as we had some line dancing songs scattered throughout. Thanks for everything, Chad! read more

Holy cow! What a night! Chad & Frankie are the best! We hired the dynamic duo of Arrowhead DJ for our wedding. They met with us twice before the big day, once for the overall planning and again to make sure we hadn't changed anything on them since then. They were so responsive and helpful throughout the process. They arrived early and had their setup all ready to go well before the early-bird guests began to arrive. They were totally flexible when time frames shifted during the event and we almost didn't notice that they had adjusted to the changes! Chad kept the music going and changed up the music based on the mood of the dance floor. He even created some awesome mixes right there on the fly! We highly recommend Arrowhead DJ for any and all of your events. You simply can't go wrong! read more

Chad is an awesome dude! My wife and I recently got married at Pine Rose Cabins Hidden Creek site, and Arrowhead DJ was our music for the evening. During the course of planning, Chad let me have free reign to plan all the music for the night. And He didn't stray from what we requested. Now for a DJ to do that is great, but I definitely had some obscure songs requested from Big Band/Swing to Old Blues. Chad played it all. And if he doesn't have it, he will get it. And he did. The other great addidtion he has available is the photo booth! It was such a hit at our wedding and we got to design the photo card too! Chad is an awesome guy; he went out of his way and beyond to make our wedding special. Super nice guy who is definitely big on guest service and customer satisfaction. Kenny & Shuree S.

Chad is AMAZING!!! I can't even begin to explain how much my husband and I appreciate him and his services. Our wedding on 12/12/12 was about to be musicless as of 11pm the night before the Big Day. When our family friend dj decided to inform me (the night before) that he didn't have any of the genre of music I had requested! I almost died! But instead calmly told him no problem, just don't plan on coming we would figure it out. So my bridesmaid and I got on the computer and Aroowhead DJ popped up. What were the odds they weren't already booked? What were the odds we would even be able to reach them in time, it was 11pm? But on their website included a cell number that said call or text, so we started texting. To our amazement Chad responded immediately. We explained the situation and he just took control. He told me not to worry, get some sleep, he gave me an outline of what he needed and swooped in the next day effortlessly and put together all of our music needs! Again, I CANNOT MORE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES AS WELL AS HIS AMAZING BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! If you are in need of a DJ in the Lake Arrowhead area or specifically at the Lake Arrowhead Resort using Arrowhead DJ is a MUST! Eternally Grateful! read more

Chad was amazing! My husband and I liked Chad and Frankie from the first meeting we had with them. We felt like we had control of our music but could still rely on their expertise if we were stuck on something. His quick thinking saved our wedding at Arrowhead Pine Rose when he moved the dance floor out from the rain. Even though it was cold and rainy, the atmosphere Chad made was so fun that our dance floor was never empty. Over a week later, people are still praising us for the good time they had and we owe most of that to Chad. THANK YOU for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!

As a wedding photographer myself, I have worked with Arrowhead DJ more times than I could count. They never disappoint, are always on time, professional and SUPER friendly! Not to mention that they always go the extra mile for you! Chad has the best DJ voice, and does such a superb job of balancing great direction without being overbearing. To me, some DJ's talk TOO much and some don't talk enough, leaving the crowd confused and irritated, either way. Chad meets right in the middle for a beautifully relaxed wedding day or event, every time. I confidently recommend them to my own clients :) Plus! They have awesome lighting for your events, too! read more

The best wedding dj of all time! The dj makes or breaks your wedding. We had an amazing time!

Chad with Arrowhead DJ and Events wonderfully handled the DJ and MC duties at my wedding earlier this year. I had a lot of special requests - the music was the one area of the wedding where I had very specific desires, and I was concerned I was asking for too much or for too complicated of a ceremony. But Chad never hesitated to help me get what I wanted, and he always worked with me to try to make it work. When our officiant started going "off script" so to speak, Chad was on his toes to adjust and improvise as much as possible. Chad was also a great MC for the festivities, and worked closely with us ahead of time to learn the kinds of things we'd like. He even picked up on some of our specific music tastes just based on our requests and was able to fill our parts of his playlists with all the right tones & themes. read more

Chad was fantastic!! I told him I wanted a dance party for my wedding and that's exactly what he gave me! My dance floor was full the whole night and I danced the night away! He was so easy to work with and very helpful. He even collaborated with my maid of honor to play a secret recording of my best friend who couldn't make it to the wedding during the toasts and I was completely surprised and obviously cried. There were no issues with the mics during the ceremony or reception. I couldn't have asked for better! Thanks Chad for helping create the most wonderful wedding a girl could ask for! read more

We had Dustin for our wedding this February for our wedding at the Lake Arrowhead resort and he was FANTASTIC! We had very obscure songs for the entire ceremony and he had zero issues getting the songs for us. We gave him mostly free reign for the reception as well and he definitely delivered! The entire night went by incredibly smooth (Except for 1 very minor hiccup which was planner error, ie. ME), and everything was handled perfectly. We've been getting non stop compliments from our guests about the setup, back lighting, and overall tone of the night. Would not have been possible without a great Dj. Thanks Dustin!

Chad and Frankie Hobart, owners of Arrowhead DJ are Awesome! Their service and professionalism are amazing along with their state of the art equipment. We have enjoyed their services on several occasions at the Yacht Club, Country Club, local Bars and our own wedding. Along with the DJ service Franky is an accomplished event coordinator, she's very knowledgeable and extremely capable of making your event run seamlessly. For any event I highly recommend Arrowhead DJ. read more

Chad and Franky Hobart are awesome! We hired them for our wedding last year and they made the night perfect. They have a great sense of timing, ideas and energy that brings the extra something to your special event. read more

Chad DJ'd my clients wedding in Lake Arrowhead this February. Aside from being great at reading the room and adjusting to the guests energy levels he is such an even keel kind of person. He can amp it up for the dancefloor but when he's talking to you and your vendors he has a calming personality which is great in high stress situations. I was nervous about the weather, being completely unfamiliar with the mountains, but he kept reassuring me the snow wouldn't stick and actually helped me keep calm which I needed to do for my bride. Chad was able to get the party going and maintained that energy for the entire event. If you're looking for a DJ, definitely give Chad a call. read more

This husband and wife duo is the best money we could have spent for our wedding! We intended on saving money by using and iPod to run our wedding. SOOOOO glad we found Chad and Franky. We had relatively little requests during the wedding and didn't really know what we wanted. Chad and Franky took our list of wants and don't wants and totally ran with it...and ran it WELL! I loved this team from the coordination of the wedding to the very last song played. My only regret was that the party had to end. You won't be disappointed hiring these guys! read more

Chad was absolutely amazing! We instantly liked him the first time we met him and could tell he was a true wedding professional. He went over and beyond our expectations and kept our wedding flowing seamlessly in a classy and professional manner. He hit every special song we wanted and kept the dance floor going and was anticipating what songs were getting everyone up and dancing. He really understood the kind of mood we were going for and played all the perfect songs for each moment, from the arrival of guests to the final songs. I could go on and on! He was that good and has really mastered his craft! From meeting him, you can tell he is a pro and truly knows what he is doing and cares about his work as well. He is fun and personable and all around made us feel comfortable on our wedding day. I had zero worries the day of and he nailed everything! We were thrilled =) Thank you again Chad! Our wedding would not have been the same without you!!!! Love, Danielle and Stephen 10/05/14 wedding read more

Chad was a hero of the wedding evening! He set the perfect mood for our whole wedding at Pine Rose Cabins. He read the crowd, he played what we wanted and got everyone out there dancing. The uplighting was beautiful and the photobooth was incredible and a huge hit! Chad really took the time to make sure he had everything set understood all our requests before our big day. He really takes pride in making this day perfect and special for you and your guest. And he really did. thank you Chad! read more

Chad is awesome! Most of our guests are from overseas; thus, a few songs in our mother languages are needed in order to keep our guests entertained (Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese, etc...). Chad mixed these songs so well that there weren't any conflict between different languages. Our party was filled with happiness and laughter, I cannot ask any more from him. Thank you, Chad!! read more

Great DJ in this or any other area, plus their photo booth is really fun!! Great mix of music. They are very in tune with the crowd and know just the right timing to create the perfect mood. Highly recommended. read more

Arrowhead DJ and Events were so wonderful. We went a different route with music for our wedding, but Chad and Franky helped us with the lighting for our big day. The lights were perfect, and they were prompt and professional. They got everything set up so quickly and were so flexible. They helped create the most magical ambiance I could have ever imagined. All the while they helped with suggestions and tips for hosting a mostly DIY wedding which was very very helpful and needed! I highly recommend these two supportive and kind and amazing people. They were perfect read more

I was part of a committee to help with the entertainment for our 20 year high school reunion in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Chad was part of my graduating class, so it was a given we were going to use him, he was DJ-ing parties 20 years ago (when the 80' were "in" for the first time...) I thought he would be a good fit because we had history as a group, but I was really blown away by how far he has come. Very professional, uses cutting edge technology, and has the biggest music repertoire I've ever seen! Chad was so helpful and friendly that we all got a clear idea that he has a great passion for what he does and his enthusiasm is contagious. Should I ever get married he will be my absolute first choice for entertainment. read more

Arrowhead DJ is a top pick for DJ services on or off the mountain! They have DJ'd a few of our friends weddings and events and are a step above the average DJ. They both have wonderful personalities and know how to make a party fun. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the best in DJ services. read more

We had our wedding just about 2 weeks ago! & we are so thankful to of had Chad as our DJ ! He is pretty awesome and truly knows his craft. So happy how the wedding music played out. He is on point and kept our dance floor moving! Thank you Chad! I wish we could do this all again! We had a blast! read more

My wife and I got married on Aug 19th 2016! This review is a little late but definitely deserved. Chad was an awesome Dj that really likes his job, it shows! He listened to the crowed and played what we felt and liked! Everyone enjoyed what ever he played. There were even people I didn't think would dance dancing! Thanks for making our wedding fun! read more

Chad (and Frankie of course!) were wonderful for our Arrowhead Pine Rose Wedding. His enthusiasm for his craft does not go unnoticed. He truly cares about your event and making it a fantastic party for everyone. Chad went beyond my expectations by making multiple custom mixes on behalf of my dad, who wanted a special father/daughter combo song and couldn't make up his mind. He also helped me when I didn't know what type of songs I wanted for cocktail hour by picking them all himself. Everyone raved about the music, they loved the energy and the eclectic mix of fun songs. Thank you Chad for making our night so much fun with all the amazing music!!! read more

I've been to a couple of weddings now that Arrowhead DJ has performed. I love their music style and I've always heard good things from people that have worked with them. Highly recommended! read more

On June 8th we hired Arrowhead DJ for our sons 18th birthday / graduation party. It was hosted at Back to the Grind in Riverside, CA. The parking and traffic make it a tough place for unloading equipment, but these guys were 100% professional. Timely, (actually they arrived early in anticipation of poor loading / unloading conditions) They were set up on time and playing music before the first guests arrived. They are charismatic and handle themselves in a completely professional manner. They were able to accommodate a couple of spontaneous games / events that happened during the party. The students decided to roast the birthday boy and Chad was there with the wireless mic and had the audio adjusted perfectly. We also did a round of blindfold musical chairs and Chad handled the announcing and MCed the game flawlessly. Chad has a great voice, mixed music with precision and provided an absolutely perfect atmosphere. On the flip side, he wasn't over bearing and did not make the event about himself, as I have experienced with other Dj services. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Highly recommended, you wont be disappointed. read more

Chad is great. He fit in all the music we wanted and even edited a song to fit or need for our wedding. Many of my guests commented on the playlist and had a great time. He showed up dressed to impress and did an awesome job instructing the events before, during, and after the ceremony and reception. Thanks Chad! -Tina & Robert read more
