DJ Aykut is hands down the best in the business. We recently did our wedding and absolutely crushed it. I've never seen a more lively dance floor at any event. His ability to sense what the crowd wants is unmatched. He created the perfect flow of music to keep everyone and all generations on the floor. Safe to say he helped make our wedding more fun than we thought it could be. read more

Aykut is the best DJ you can have at any wedding. Our wedding wouldn't have beed the same without him. He was the most responsive and nicest vendor to work with. I emailed him 18 months before my wedding and the only question I asked was if he would come to Sri Lanka and he said of course!!! He did and AMAZING job at our weddingg. The smooth transition from Persian to hip hop to disco and finally to Sri Lankan music was unbelievable. He left no room for stress and the way he played the Sri Lankan music was just great. He basically did rock. Thank you so much Aykut. read more

I have had the pleasure of enjoying Aykut's talent as a DJ since the days of Pyassa!!! Aykut is a wonderful DJ and has the ability to integrate music from all over the world into amazing sets which makes you want to dance as if no one is looking... #truth. When I was planning my wedding, there was not a single question on my mind that I would try to have Aykut be the DJ for our reception. Planning a wedding is an extremely stressful process and being able to rely on good professionals is key. Aykut is extremely professional, attentive, talented, and knows how to keep everyone on the dance floor. He was timely, friendly and most importantly, reliable. Aykut, thank you for making my wedding reception dance floor flourish. It was such a memorable and fun experience!!! read more

We hired DJ Aykut for a backyard wedding. Given COVID and many of the stresses of planning a wedding, Aykut was very responsive and helpful. The crowd loved him and his music. He helped the wedding go as smoothly as possible and his music was great! I would highly recommend hiring DJ Aykut for any event and hope to use him again in the future! read more

I hired DJ Aykut for my wedding and couldn't have been more happy. Everyone kept praising the music (and we had an American/Persian family split) and about how great it was. His MC skills were amazing and led to such a seem less night. From a bride's perspective, he was SO easy to work with!!! I REALLY appreciated this. He honored songs I asked him not to play and respected my wishes when it came to music. I talked to a lot of DJs prior to hiring him and I can confidently say, he was the best to work with, hands down. He knows how to get the party going, has amazing music and has such a warm and positive attitude to him the whole time. 10/10 recommend. I cannot say enough good things about him read more

DJ Aykut kept the party going all night long at our wedding! Great as an MC and impeccable song choices. He is a true professional who clearly has significant experience with large events. Friends and family couldn't stop talking about how great the DJ was. Highly recommend him for your wedding! read more

We were so glad to have Aykut DJ my daughter's wedding last weekend. The event was multi-cultural with Scottish to Persian music. It was the wedding of the century according to many of our 150 guests, with not a single minute of the Dance floor not being full. Aykut masterfully included the bride and the groom, and my wife and my music selection throughout the reception. He was wonderful to work with, and helped us out during the ceremony in the best way to mic the speakers. We absolutely loved having Aykut DJ the wedding. Thank you read more

Aykut is the best DJ! He did a phenomenal job at our wedding. His professionalism and experience were evident throughout. From the beginning, Aykut was super easy to work with. We were planning our wedding from 2,774 miles away, and he was so flexible about doing as much as possible with us over the phone or email. From our initial consultation call he was very caring, and professional. I immediately knew I wanted to book him. He is extremely responsive and patient and will craft the perfect playlist and flow of events for your special day. He kept the dance floor busy and everyone enjoyed his work. He truly made our night unforgettable and I cannot emphasize how polite and nice he was. I highly recommend Dj Aykut for your event. read more

This review is long overdue! DJ Aykut performed at our wedding at the Westin St. Francis in February of this year. We are extremely happy to report that all the reviews are true - he is phenomenal. DJ Aykut is timely, professional, dresses the part, and will indeed keep your guests dancing all night. The preparation process was a breeze - we opted to take an easy, hands-off approach. We provided a short list of our 'must have' songs as well as an eclectic song request list provided by our wedding guests (we suggest adding a song request question to the RSVP process on your wedding website - we used withjoy.com which generated songs into an excel list). We gave Aykut full discretion to use or not use any of the song requests to keep the crowd dancing. Trust me - he can read a crowd and he 'gets it'. He used requested songs when appropriate and incorporated his picks as needed. There wasn't a point in the evening where the dance floor was empty. We highly recommend DJ Aykut for any event you want to leave dancing guests both impressed and exhausted, lol. read more

DJ Aykut was incredible at our wedding this month at the Brazilian Room. He was incredibly responsive via email, asked for the right set of information from us, and made us feel very taken care of in the leadup to the event. He had enough equipment to have music both in the reception hall and on the patio where we did the ceremony and dancing. He kept the event flowing smoothly and kept us all out on the dance floor until the end of the night. He was really excellent, we highly recommend him. read more

We hired DJ Aykut for our multicultural wedding on July 29, 2017. From the beginning, Aykut was great to work with. Aykut is super nice and professional! After talking to him about our guest crowd and cultures, he knew exactly what we needed! We right away knew that he was the right person to hire to DJ at our wedding. Aykut asked and answered all the questions and made the process flawless. The day of the wedding Aykut kept our party moving, and we had our guests jumping up and down dancing! We got so many compliments on the music as Aykut had something for everyone (we had guest ages 10-80) to enjoy. We loved Aykut and his professional approach to our cultures. We had a blast! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend hiring DJ Aykut for your next event! read more

Aykut was the DJ for our wedding this past weekend! Because of him, our dance floor was packed the entire time. Every time people tried to leave the dance floor, they couldn't because every song was on point. Also, Aykut pre-mixed multiple songs for our choreographed dances that happened throughout the night. He was professional, very responsive and awesome all around. Thank you Aykut!! read more

We had Aykut at our wedding last weekend and I can't recommend him enough! We wanted a mix of middle eastern and American music and my family insisted we hire a dj who spoke Arabic. However after speaking with Aykut and reading his reviews I knew while he didn't speak Arabic, he would be the right man for the job. At a middle eastern wedding the music is extremely important and Aykut knew what to play and when to play it, we gave him a list of songs and he did the rest. He followed the time line perfectly and was a great MC as well. He got the crowed hyped up for our grand entrance and he helped with the flow. He did a great job playing a mix of Arabic and English and I felt he really listened to the songs to prepare and know what to play. He was a breeze with setting up and accommodated my requests throughout the night. His pricing was also very reasonable given his experience and acclaim. Just hire him, no need to look any further I promise, he is your guy!! read more

We searched long and far for a great DJ and came across DJ Aykut. We hired him as he had excellent reviews. He helped us through every step of the planning process and I had no worries the day of the event. My friends and family still talk about how amazing he was. I saw him DJ'ing at French American Chamber of Commerce San Francisco's huge event back in November "La Soiree", what a night! He is the best around! read more

Aykut was AMAZING!!! I heard about him from my mom's friend and so after talking to him on the phone, I knew he would be perfect for our Persian American wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process he was so friendly and professional. Based on his reviews that I read, I had really high expectations, and not only did he meet those, he exceeded them!!! His professionalism and the way he interacts with the crowd is phenomenal. Not to mention his music choice- it was better than I could have even imagined!!! Our guests would get excited for every single song he played. My husband and I are sooooo happy we got to have Aykut for our DJ. He did a phenomenal job. Our guests keep telling us how much they enjoyed our wedding because of the music! We can't wait to have another event just so we can have Aykut there. :) read more

So we had Aykut DJ our wedding last November and he was amazing. He was super quick to get back to e-mails, is very professional and is super accommodating. At first we thought we were just hiring him to DJ the reception; but he ran the whole show, setup music before the ceremony while guests were rolling in, played specific tracks for different parts of the ceremony, did all of the announcements at the reception and rocked the dance floor. We picked some music ahead of time, and Aykut accommodated that no problem, and he also played some awesome tracks on the fly that really spoke to the audience. So he's really flexible, I'm sure we could have just said 'play some good music' and we would have been just as happy! Our wedding event facilitator was sick on the day of the wedding, so the schedule we had practiced was somehow lost in translation. Luckily for us, we had a schedule for Aykut and he picked up the slack no sweat, moving the event forward from the mic. He really really helped tie the event together, and we'd recommend him in heartbeat. read more

A true professional, outstanding DJ & MC... Aykut lived up to these standards in every way for our June 2017 wedding. We recommend him 100%. For example during the speeches he was the MC and kept it organized to ensure everything was on track timing wise. He made sure to pronounce the names of all speakers accurately. He provided us details he needed ahead of time (a list of songs we liked) and delivered on it seamlessly... People came back again and again to the dance floor, as he played the songs people wanted to dance to. He brought his own equipment and set up which was top notch including lights and recommended a live drummer (extra charge, well worth it). He was "super observant"... He noticed everything about the night, including when to encourage people to dance, or when a slow song was appropriate. He fed off the energy, but also brought the energy. He really was outstanding, especially compared to others I have worked with for private parties and events -- Everything about Aykut is first class, and his rates are market, even though his value is much more above. We wish him continued success, and would recommend him 100% to friends + family, and look forward to working with him again. Thanks Aykut for helping us make it a great night for us, our families, and our friends. All business, first class, really nice guy too... A pleasure meeting, and working with you! read more

Aykut is AMAZING!! I had him at my wedding and again several years later at my husband's 40th birthday. He knows exactly what to play to get the party started and how to keep the crowd going. He can read the crowd and is so great at picking the perfect songs. There is no better DJ! We can't wait to have him at our next event! read more

Aykut was amazing to deal with. Not only was he on the preferred vendor list for our venue (The Fairmont, SF), but his 5 star rating on yelp was reassuring. He was organized, helpful with recommendations and accommodating with our special requests. He handled all of our music/MC needs and lighting. He was polite, respectful and extremely professional. He was able to keep our dance floor full for the entire night. He was great about taking requests which were within the genres we selected and asking for our approval when it was something we had not discussed. A pleasure to deal with and would be happy to use him again for another event. Thank You for you playing such an important role in making our special day so amazing! You Rock! read more

Aykut DJs is AMAZING! Aykut hooked us up with Erick Santeros for our DJ at our wedding (~170 people), and he absolutely killed it. We gave him both extensive guidance for the open dancing and very little guidance for the cocktail hour, and he nailed both (i.e. he can operate with no guidance or heavy detail). He played an awesome mix of oldies/rock, electric pop, and raggaeton/latin. Erick and Aykut were professional, responsive, and kind. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. I can't recommend them highly enough, especially for weddings! read more

My Wife and I obtained DJ Aykut's services for our wedding recently. We were both, as well as all of our guests, extremely pleased with his work. His preparation in inquiring about the music we enjoy and his ability to sense what the mood called for at any time during the wedding both exceeded our expectations. He did a fantastic, professional job! read more

We had DJ Aykut for our wedding last week and he was very professional. We had our wedding at Sonoma winery and he prepared for mic/speaker for both indoor and outdoor perfectly and he also brought up-lights for our reception at barrel room without extra charge. He played music with perfect timing even on special occasions (e.g. bouquet toss, wine ceremony, and so on). We had our own MC and the DJ communicated with the MC very well so that everything went well. One more good thing is that he always gave us a quick reply! We highly recommend him for your wedding! read more

DJ Aykut is extraordinary! Stop searching and hire him! After two years and two postponements, he made sure our wedding would be remarkable (this summer). We sent him our song list lastminute and he incorporated all of our requests and then some; Aykut managed to stitch together Iranian + South Asian + American music seamlessly. His lighting left us in awe, his equipment was premium, and he mic'd our outdoor ceremony perfectly -- Above all, Aykut was a consummate professional and treated our guests as if they were his own! We're so grateful to have included him for our event. Our wedding MVP, for sure! read more

If you are in search of a rockstar DJ who will take your event to the next level with an outstanding music selection, superb professionalism and the certainty that everything will go as planned, look no further. As part of the UC Berkeley Haas MBA student association, our team hosted our Winter Gala in December of last year. After attending several events hosted by DJ Aykut over the last 10 years and witnessing first hand his ability to bring crowds to the dance floor, I knew he would be the perfect DJ to ensure our 400+ guests had a great time. He went above and beyond and helped us with several aspects of the event, including selecting an upscale venue, providing all AV equipment, and playing songs that made our super diverse group of guests become one on the dance floor. The night and the preparation leading up to it went without a glitch and the feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. I look forward to hiring his services for future event and would recommend Aykut to anyone looking to host a memorable event. read more

I have been to several types of events where Aykut was the DJ. The most recent event was a corporate party for Equinix. The people on my table were asking who was the DJ and wanted his contact information because they were so please with his style. I was really impressed on how he can play so many different styles. I had seen him play several times at his international parties, but it was the first corporate event that I saw him play. I also attend his international parties and he always does a great job catering to to a mixed international crowd. Besides that, I have also partnered with Aykut on a few Brazilian events where he also played and did an amazing job with the Brazilian music. read more

I recently referred Aykut to one of my best friend's wedding and he was amazing. Not only his fantastic music but his professionalism was second-to-none. We danced all night! Thank you Aykut!!! read more

Aykut was just phenomenal. He DJed our wedding and he was fantastic. I am Persian and my husband is American so we wanted a DJ that knows both cultures well. He played every single song that we requested on time and he didn't miss a single detail that I asked him. To my surprise he had a full collection of all new and old Persian songs and an incredible collection of American songs. Our guests danced all night and talked about our DJ days after. He was incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. I can't thank him enough for making our night so memorable. We hope to work with him again over the years for many more events to come. Cheers! read more

I don't know if we can say enough about the professionalism and quality you can expect from DJ Aykut. We initially booked DJ Aykut as the DJ for the dance portion of our wedding based on the excellent reviews we saw on Yelp. But we ended up using him for so much more. Two weeks before our wedding, we asked Aykut to handle the audio during our ceremony as well as emcee the reception dinner. We are so thankful we did. Aykut showed up on time, set up all of the audio, and flawlessly handled the ceremony with top-line equipment including lapel mics. During the reception dinner, Aykut took it upon himself to play classical music and the standards. It set the perfect mood for the dinner and ended up being one of the only times that a vendor provided perfect service without direction from us. His personality was warm and congenial and moved the reception speeches along without event--he even darted around to set up a stand mic based on one of the speaker's unexpected requests. And DJ Aykut's DJing skills are simply unmatched. It felt like Aykut was reading the minds of our guests (and us) as he played the exact genres we requested and ad libbed the song choices based on what got the most guests on the dance floor. Even if you do not book Aykut for ancillary services, do not look anywhere else for the highest quality DJ you can find. Seriously. We're convinced our wedding music was the best we have ever heard. One final note: working with wedding vendors can be very difficult. Long response time lags, no attention to detail, and the general pressures of throwing a huge party make wedding planning frustrating and difficult. But, DJ Aykut was one of our most professional vendors. He promptly replied to every message, anticipated our needs, and, again, provided an incredible quality of service. We would book him again, and will encourage everyone else to do the same. read more

Top notch DJ - we couldn't have been more happy with DJ Aykut, who kept our wedding crowd dancing all night long. He has a wide range of music, and was able to include all of our requests (even Polish folk music!) and fill in the rest using his own good taste. He was extremely flexible and coordinated with our vendors to make announcements and MC the evening. Absolutely loved working with him, and you will too! read more

Don't look for another DJ. I was just at a wedding and with all the challenging logistics, number of people, catering challenges, Aykut was in tune with the entire event, and knew how to keep 300+ people moving. More importantly, I was requested to be the MC due to my family relationship with Bride, and everyone thinks I did a great job, but the reality is, Akut was the one who was helping me and guiding me the entire night. I could not have done it without him His approach was so graceful that I always felt his care for me and wanted me to be successful, and no Ego on his side to show all his experience. He gave me some hints that saved the night for the Bride and Groom. He is so good with the music and all cultures and understands people and the crowd energy. He is such a likable guy. I wish I knew about him at my wedding. read more
