I've never hired a DJ before! This was important! I was planning my own surprise birthday party…read more hahahaha! Checked out reviews on Yelp. Called the three that caught my eye. Talked to a few via tele and selected Events by Design. Mostly because John G. returned my call so quickly and the price was right! I coordinated with the owner John Gillon by phone and email. He couldn't have made it easier! He is an easy going guy. Pleasure doing business with him. He followed through on every promise and every one of my questions. He set me up with a DJ named John! I had a few special requests. Some mellow tunes for dinner then some dancing. Had to include some Persian tunes so I could watch my hubby 'shake it up' on the dance floor. Also, this party was in my backyard so DJ John recommended a visit to scope out the party pad! He stopped by at the time he promised. Hung out with us out back and discussed what we wanted and what he could do for the party. He was so nice! Offered to bring lights for the caterers, too. Plus, dance lights. He said he'd bring them and then he'd have them if we wanted to use them. We did --- it was a fabulous idea. He took the list of my favorite bands and solo artists. Suggested 40's during the mellow times. I loved it! Then dance tunes. He was very receptive to play for kids and adults. He asked if he could take requests from the guests. Absolutely yes. The night of the party. He set up even earlier than he said he would. He taped down the wires. Set-up the speakers. Checked in with me frequently but at the appropriate times (never intrusive). I had wanted a DJ to make it more about atmosphere and music --- rather than focus on the DJ (or even the birthday girl). He did a fabulous job at keeping the tunes rolling. Made the announcements for dinner and dancing. Yes, we did dance! Woop Woop HANDS UP IN THE AIR! Even announced when my daughter lost her first tooth. I cannot say enough nice things about the personal and seamless service! The end of the night. He taught the little girls to scratch. Sweet. He also stuck around and taught me and another mommy a few things about the dj world and music in his computer. I am so happy with the outcome of my surprise birthday party. Really, so much better than just me dj'ing with my Ipod and speakers. THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL AND MEMORABLE!

My husband and I hired Events by Design to DJ our wedding. We worked specifically with Scott…read moreZimmerman and had a FANTASTIC time working with him! Unlike other DJ's that some friends have worked with, Scott did a great job of playing almost all of our requests, filling in the "blanks" with songs that he knew we'd love based off of our requests, and completely avoiding anything on our do-not-play list. He could not have been a more nice, professional, or fun DJ to work with. Due to a few other "glitches" (not related to anything to do with Scott or EBD), the wedding/reception were running a bit behind schedule and Scott offered to stay and play a bit beyond his ending time so that the reception could wind down properly. We'd met with a few other DJs and were feeling a bit skeptical by the time that we met with Scott, but my husband and I really clicked with him and knew that he'd be perfect for our ceremony/reception as soon as we'd talked with him the first time, and we were right. Scott was awesome, and we highly recommend him.

They spent so much time coming up with different ideas for me and paid so much attention to all the little details and gave me amazing options. They were patient with me and really made me feel comfortable with every decision I made. The party was a huge success. They showed up and delivered!
