Drew was our wedding DJ and he did an amazing job! He helped with the flow of the evening and was just wonderful to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Drew is an amazing DJ! He was so easy to work with, solid communication, on time, professional, kind and walked us through everything to make our wedding successful. He exceeded all of our expectations and I would recommend him to anyone. He was so affordable - it's unheard of to have someone with his skills and level experience charge a reasonable rate. He got all the songs we requested - he handled everything without any stress on us. Drew is the real deal - hands down the absolute best! read more

Drew was fabulous!! We booked him to DJ our wedding, and it was such a fun party! Drew is wonderful to work with, communication was very clear, and we really felt he understood the vibe we wanted and was instrumental in how much fun we had. Highly recommend, and I'm looking for another occasion so I can book him again. Thank you, Drew!! read more

Drew is a magician. He doesn't just play great music, he reads his client. Implements an energetic strategy and adjusts it as if he was a conductor. I can wholeheartedly recommend him and his company. read more

Drew is one in a million! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! From our wedding to our birthday celebrations, the music, energy, and professionalism were absolutely perfection. He knows how to read the crowd every time, kept the dance floor full, and created an incredible atmosphere that our guests still talk about. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to set the mood, keep the party going, and deliver an unforgettable experience, look no further. Highly recommended--we wouldn't use anyone else! read more

So good! Best vibes and dance my face off. Have hired him myself, but also have attended events where he is DJing. His karaoke game is A+ too. read more

We love Drew! He always brings the energy and the best music. He doesn't just DJ! He engages with the people to make sure he's keeping the crowd moving. read more

Drew is true professional. We had him DJ a large gathering for us and he did a fantastic job. He knew the exact music to play to engage the audience and set the mood for the event. I would highly recommend him for any engagement. Drew took the time to work with us and make sure our event came off without a hitch. read more

Drew is the man! We first saw him do his thing years ago and were so impressed we booked him for a birthday party. So professional, friendly, easy to communicate with, and so good with the crowd -- and his set was just so fun. He helped make the party one to remember and cherish. Definitely will try to book him for future events. Highly recommend him - you won't regret it! read more

Drew is great. We have used him for our company Christmas parties for years. He does a great job of getting people up and dancing and is everything you would want in a DJ. Very professional and easy going. read more

Are you kidding me Drew!!! We COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU! Unbelievable wedding. Nothing but showering of reviews from our guests about the music and flow of the evening. The ceremony music was on-point. Nothing ever skipped or cut out. Breaking in the action to announce toasts came at the perfect time. Being able to break our tables to go to get food in our buffet line??? I can't exactly say that was your job. Thank you!!! Finally, great communication. Awesome personality. Positive momentum. Very professional and easy to work with. Can't wait to dance/interact with Drew again...where you ask?...at YOUR wedding or event!!! Thanks for the invite! ha! read more

We hired Drew for our recent wedding after attending a friend's wedding and based on her recommendations. One of the best decisions ever! Drew was easy to work with, always responsive through email and called us a week before the wedding to discuss details. Although he had never been to our venue before, he got there 2 hrs ahead of time to set up and scope out the place and you would have never even known he hadn't worked there before. He not only is a DJ but also helped keep us on track throughout the night and acted as emcee (super helpful as we did not have an official venue day of coordinator). His rate was also almost half as much as what others quoted (even after including a little extra for playing ceremony music) and no deposit required. We highly recommend Drew for anyone looking for a DJ!! read more

Drew was the DJ for my wife and I's wedding this past month and we could not be happier! He was so easy to work with and helpful from the beginning. We had an initial meeting as soon as I had reached out to him, and then he stayed in touch periodically up until the week of the wedding. He accommodated all of our requests and gave ideas when we couldn't come up with something. We had a phone meeting the week before our wedding to review all of our choices and to make sure everything was correct. At the wedding, he was flexible and able to set up in the time we were given. He did a great job of playing music everyone would love, and also making requests happen. When doing crowd involvement dances (i.e. cha cha slide) he would come out and show people how to do it. Everyone loved him and the music he played. We would absolutely recommend Drew to anyone looking for a DJ. read more

Groove Entertainment - Thanks for an awesome wedding, Drew! - DJs Near Me

Where do I begin? Well, we hired Drew for our wedding last weekend, based not only on reviews from Yelp but also from friends and having been at a wedding that Drew DJ'd several years ago. From the start, we were impressed with Drew's professionalism and honesty. If you're looking for a sullen hip DJ to stand in the corner, looking cool, Drew isn't it. He's lively, involved, and just a cool guy. As for the event, he didn't disappoint. He played the perfect music for each portion of the cocktail hour and reception, and once the dancing started, he was on the floor, leading dances - the electric slide and the shuffle. We all loved his energy and enthusiasm, and multiple people commented on how awesome he was. Can't stop raving about Drew - hire him for your next event! read more

Great DJ at our sons wedding. He really worked with us to make sure he played the songs they wanted and he kept the patty going!

My wife and I got married this past August, and by far the best vendor we dealt with was Drew. Hands down. We had gotten a recommendation from friends & family about Drew and we were excited to work with him based on the reviews we had already heard. Our first consultation was thorough and easy-going. Drew asked us several questions about what type of music we were into, what kind of a party we were trying to have, and I could really tell he was trying to get to know who we were so that he could deliver an awesome time. He did. As time went on, Drew was extremely easy to work with. He didn't stress us out by any means and always demonstrated that he had everything under control. When it came time for the wedding he did an immaculate job in both the ceremony and the reception. We couldn't have asked for a better job. Our reception went all night (5 hours) and the dancing literally lasted the whole time! Went things got quiet he knew the perfect song to get the dancing going again. He navigated the reception flawlessly being the MC as well. Thanks Drew! read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Drew. From the moment we met him, his calm, cool, collective persona was impressive. We felt very comforted in knowing that not only did he understand our music style, but also that he had such a diverse background in the events industry. Drew was very easy to talk to and extremely professional, and we could just sense that he was an all around nice guy. Our wedding was so much fun, and I give credit to Drew for keeping the party going. He played the songs we requested and mixed in some great party songs. He felt out the crowd and got everyone out on the dance floor. He kept the energy up and helped make the night memorable (he even got my husband and his friends from middle school to do some old-school break dancing moves!) Drew was a great MC and paid attention to all of the details. He made sure we did everything on time and would check in with us throughout the night to make sure we were having fun. He even helped smooth over some behind the scenes issues we had in a very professional manor. I would recommend DJ Doughboy to host any event you have, not only because of his many talents and awesome professionalism, but because of his genuine kindness. He will make sure you are taken care of on your special day. Thank you Drew for making our day so memorable! read more

Drew was such an incredible DJ for my wedding. He is so easy going and very flexible to work with. I wanted to plan a surprise song to sing to my husband and Drew was great working with all the last minute changes. I had two friends accompanying me, one with a ukulele who needed a music stand. So we had to sneak on a music stand and an additional microphone without my husband noticing, and it went so smoothly. He had no idea!!! My husband said when I sang the surprise song, it was one of his favorite moments from the wedding. Drew kept the dance floor hopping. Great song selections. He really helped me to not feel nervous about the song I walked down the aisle to. We wanted the song to repeat at a certain part for when I made my entrance, and he did a smooth transition into that. He also kept the whole wedding moving along. There were no awkward moments in between toasts and cake cutting. It was all seamless, which is exactly what we needed on our wedding day. I highly recommend Drew for your next event. He was FANTASTIC!!!!! read more

See all

My husband and I were married July, 2011, and choosing Drew as our wedding DJ was one of the very best decisions we made. My husband and I had absolutely no clue where to begin with wedding music. Had we been left to our own devices, our poor guests probably would have been bombarded by some strange hybrid of Eagles and Journey meeting Barenaked Ladies and Paula Abdul. Let's just say, it wouldn't have been pretty. Drew sat down with us before the wedding to plan out music for the whole evening. Processional, Recessional, Dinner background music, Cake Cutting Music etc etc etc. Drew helped us go through step by step through the night to figure our which events we WERE doing (mother-son dance, sister-brother dance) and which ones we were not (bouquet throw, garter toss). Then, night of, when suddenly there was a new song for the mother-son dance, there WAS going to be a garter toss and bouquet throw and we had to vamp for time while people came in from all corners of the venue, Drew went with the flow easily and with such grace that guests had no idea anything unplanned was happening. Perhaps more important than all the details leading up to the big night is the music itself. I don't know if it is typical for wedding guests to rave about a DJ, but let me tell you, MINE DID! And best of all, during the days that followed, we talked to so many guests who were sore from all the dancing they did. Drew's ability to keep the music rolling in a way that kept the dance floor moving and the crowd on it's feet was unbelievable. (If you don't believe me, just check out photo #4 - that's MY wedding, and those are MY guests gettin' down ;) ) Drew has a warm, kind demeanor that makes him incredibly approachable. His attention to detail and ability to tailor music to each moment of the night is impeccable. If you are planning an event of any kind, and certainly if you are getting married, do yourself a huge favor and call Groove Entertainment! read more

Voted "Best Yelp Find of 2015" By Josh & Zohra. We were so lucky to have found Drew on yelp when we were looking for a DJ. After countless emails back and forth with DJs in the Seattle area, we were overwhelmed and nervous about hiring one. Some you don't even meet until the week of your wedding... but not Drew. We reached out to Drew via email, and set up an in person meeting over the summer. He came to the meeting prepared with a DJ form that he uses full of all sorts of stuff we hadn't begun to think about. He was very easy-going and low pressure about booking (which we totally appreciate). When we finally made the (best) decision and booked with Drew, he emailed us a copy of his form, and we began to work on the document. When we submitted it to him, he provided us thoughtful suggestions, and we eventually scheduled a meeting to talk on the phone. We reviewed the document, filled in any gaps and felt confident for our wedding day. Our big day finally came and Drew worked with our day of coordinator and officiant to make the day flawless. If anything went wrong, we don't know what it was. The ceremony music was great - the transitions between ceremony/cocktail hour/reception were smooth and the music choices were spot on. Once people started dancing - they did not stop! Now even after the wedding, people still tell us how much fun they had, how they loved the music selections, and all the dancing. Thanks Drew for making our day memorable! read more

Drew is as good as it gets. My wife and I got married in September here in Seattle and wanted to keep each little detail local & low key. Drew was both. He was genuine & professional throughout the entire planning process and made sure to iron out each detail with us before the big day. He was spot on @ both our service & our reception. He played all of the songs we requested and kept the overall tone of our wedding (Motown/Soul) in check. The right music & energy can make a wedding. Drew will bring both to any event. Thanks Again DJ Doughboy , Joe & Shannon read more

We've had Drew DJ a Christmas party for us - and we've hired him back twice since then! He's a cool guy you're happy to hang out with: mellow, respectful, and ready to back you up on the vocals. As a DJ, he's the best! Sets the mood, gets the karaoke rolling, and has a great feel for the crowd. He also has a huge library that's always being updated, and he usually gets in touch to find out if there are any specific requests prior to the party, to make sure all the bases are covered. We were really happy to have him at our parties - looking forward to the next one! read more

Drew is an incredible DJ! He's also an awesome guy to work with. We had the best time working through songs and the vibe we wanted to create for our wedding this past July. Drew helped ensure what we wanted was executed and also helped MC the event, which was tremendously helpful. We highly recommend working with Drew for any DJ events you need. He has an amazing ear and truly feels music in his soul. Thanks again Drew! read more

Drew is as good as it gets! He was super easy to work with, very responsive and clear in communication. From the first meeting my husband and I felt like we were in very good hands. Drew's passion for music showed during our wedding because he was able to read the crowd and get the party going all the way until the end of the night. We hired a wedding coordinator and it was her first time woking with Drew. Once she took over communicating with Drew, they handled everything so effortlessly that it was as if they both knew each other and worked together for years. What is best about Drew is his down to earth approach and easy communication style that helped a couple of clueless newlyweds take away a few extra worries off our backs. read more

I can't say enough good things about Drew. Like everyone else here is saying, he was super professional, helpful and accommodating from start to finish. He arrived early, totally took care of his own setup, and was ready to go well in advance of my husband's 50th birthday party. He chose the perfect background music for the hour or so as guests arrived, helped facilitate the toasts, and was 100% ready to go when it was time to dance. His music was perfect, exactly what we wanted (70s funk/disco) and he knew exactly what to play to keep people dancing for several hours. My favorite part was seeing how much he clearly loves the music himself--it makes it that much more fun to know that the DJ is having a great time too. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him without reservation. read more

We LOVED working with Drew as our wedding DJ in mid-August of this year. He was exactly what you would hope for in someone playing such a key role in that type of event: professional, energetic and fun. He went above and beyond for us and was much more than just a DJ. Aside from spinning some killer songs that kept the dance floor full, Drew also served as our emcee and behind-the-scenes-problem-solver, asking us if he could take care of any non-music issues throughout the evening so we could focus on having a good time. The best part of working with Drew is a combination of his kind demeanor and his genuine enjoyment and pride in his work. He truly likes what he's doing, which is obvious from seeing his head-bobbing while playing the tunes. Drew asked us which specific songs we wanted to hear, those which we didn't and did the rest from there. If we ever need a DJ for any other events, we will undoubtedly work with Drew again. Pick Drew for your event and relax knowing that you have the best event DJ in town on your side. He's also quite the karaoke host and is a great backup singer, if karaoke is your thing. Just another weapon in his arsenal! read more

Drew was recommended to us by two separate friends who hired him as their DJ for their wedding. The minute we sat down with him for the initial meet and greet (about 6 months prior to our wedding) we knew it was going to be a great fit! He's very easy to communicate with, very personable and has a ton of experience in the field. He provides great advice on song selections if needed and was supportive of the songs we chose as well! Our guitar player, who was to play during the ceremony, backed out a week before the wedding and Drew was quick to the rescue and able to provide the music we needed last minute. Our guests (and me!) danced all night long, the energy was amazing! One of my favorite memories from the night is my 68 year old Dad getting down to Sir Mix a Lot's, Baby got Back! :) Hire Drew- you will love him! read more

DJ Doughboy is professional -- on time, has a great demeanor -- and talented. He is able to accurately read a crowd and can access diverse and unique music genres with ease. Well versed on current trends, he can flow effortlessly to suit the ambiance. From a dinner lounge atmosphere to a dance party, Groove Entertainment is always my #1 choice for a party. I am so grateful to have access to this caliber of entertainment abilities and look forward to a long relationship! read more

We just used Drew as our DJ for our June 21st wedding. He was so easy to work with.. a really genuine person. Informal, no deposit required up front. He arrived very early, fit in with our group seamlessly..and the dance floor was full the whole evening. We also saw Drew out for his Funk Night at a local neighborhood pub - loved it! read more

Drew is professional, dependable, organized, calm, fun, and great at his craft! He really made our wedding day wonderful...from the ceremony music, cocktail hour and dinner music, first dance recommendations and then getting the party going and everyone on the dance floor! I really can't say enough about how helpful Drew was before our wedding day and during. He worked with all our other vendors and really made the day go smooth and on schedule. We highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for a great DJ for their special event! read more

I can highly recommend Drew. He is a great DJ and host. He worked with me to figure out my musical tastes and what others at the wedding would enjoy. I was very particular about not having generic wedding songs and not too many slow dances. We went over songs I wanted to definitely hear or not hear. During the wedding he was great and kept me and my friends dancing to the wee hours! In addition I have also attended two other weddings where he was the DJ and they were a very different style from mine - mine was nearly all adults and mostly in their 30's vs having a huge wedding with tons of family and kids. He accommodated those differences very well. And again the dance floor was always packed and people were very happy. read more

Drew was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was recommended to us by our day of coordinator and it is obvious why. He was prepared, easy to work with, and created an amazing dance party! He listened to our music tastes and also changed things up during the night to please the crowd, even taking requests! If you are looking for a straight forward, professional DJ, that knows how throw a good party Drew is your guy! read more

AMAZING!! Drew has a heart of gold and is an amazing DJ!! He DJ'ed our wedding and we could not be more happy! He had everyone dancing all night long and was on top of everything. He kept everything on schedule, during the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Drew to anyone and everyone. We had majority age 22-35 and EVERYONE was dancing and having a blast. He MADE our wedding what it was and I cannot tell you how WONDERFUL he is! He is truly the nicest, most professional and a top notch guy! Such a pleasure to work with! His reviews don't lie.. he is as good as it gets!!! THANKS DREW! We will be recommending you as much as we possibly can!! BEST DJ IN SEATTLE!!! read more

Drew is an outstanding DJ and all around enjoyable person to work with. He was recommended to us by a friend and we will certainly be doing the same for others. Deciding to work with Drew for our wedding was one of the best choices we made. He took the time to have an introductory meeting with us to gain an understanding of what we were looking for and explain his background and style. One thing we wanted was a consistent dance party and Drew not only made this happen without any lulls, but mixed in music that had all ages happy they could participate. In addition, Drew was very accommodating with additional equipment and support for the technical aspects of live music during our ceremony. He did a fantastic job, was reasonably priced, and so easy to work with. Can't recommend him any more highly! read more

My wife and I were married at the Space Needle in May of 2012 and I was in charge of finding the DJ. I found Drew on Yelp and saw that his ratings were flawless. We set up some time to meet Drew and we were immediately impressed with his organization, his professionalism, and his calming demeanor. One of the most underrated qualities about Drew, which I have yet to see in his reviews to date, is his voice. He's got a made for radio deep voice. The things that set Drew apart for me when selecting the DJ for our wedding were: 1 - This is not Drew's day job. Drew is a teacher and an actor which was important to me because I knew that there was no financial pressure on me from Drew to select him. DJ'ing is something that Drew really enjoys and he does it in his spare time. 2- Cost. Because he enjoys to DJ so much, Drew prices himself $100 below his competition. You won't find a better DJ for the price. I have been to a lot of weddings in Seattle, each with a different DJ, and I feel confident in saying that Drew is dollar for dollar the best DJ in Seattle. My wife and I both came away from our meeting and said he's the perfect DJ for our wedding and on our wedding day we were not dissapointed. My wife and I constantly hear from our guests that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. Drew was very respectful of his audience and was conscious of playing music for the older crowd early in order to get them on the dance floor before they would inevitably leave early. As the younger guests continued to pressure Drew to play some newer upbeat music he politely asked the bride: 'is it ok to play music with swear words now? I think most of the older guests have left.' This left a very big impression on us as we gave him no limitations from the beginning. Drew kept the dance floor packed the entire night and capped it off with one of the best last songs ever. Journey - don't stop believing. The entire dance floor created one big circle with their arms around eachother and belted every word of the song together. For my wife and I, it was our favorite part of a very special night. One we won't soon forget, thanks Drew! read more

Drew was fantastic!!! our guests had a great time, we had specific requests for our songs, and he put all of them into considerations and our reception was more than we were hoping for. His pricing is very reasonable, and he is very very flexible to work with!! read more

My only nightmare about planning a wedding was that the DJ would be some punk kid trying to turn my wedding into the club. Well, my fears were laid to rest when I hired Drew because he was fantastic! He was the ultimate professional, very personable and fun, but also humble and sincere. He was so laid back to work with, and was on top of things 100 percent of the time. He did a great job of blending the songs that I requested, along with knowing what would keep people dancing, as well as catering to my guests song requests. Everyone had such a great time! Drew absolutely knows how to DJ a wedding, don't let his fantastic price fool you, this guy is an ultimate pro! read more

Our group of friends heads to the Mandarin Gate about once a month for karaoke, and Drew is the reason why. He's the perfect karaoke host--fun, positive, keeps the energy up, and if you need a little help on a song, he jumps right in to give you some support. We always have a great time and look forward to returning. read more

Drew is awesome!!!! He listened carefully to what the bride and groom wanted to hear, to what we, as parents wanted and somehow managed to mix the two together for a great night. The dance floor was never empty! He even stayed late and played as the family and friends were clearing out. There were several "this is the last dance" announced. Thanks for making the wedding party a wonderful memory Drew! You're amazing!!!! read more

Drew was fantastic! We just had him DJ our wedding, and I had only been to one other wedding before, so I was really leaning on him to choose what would be best, and everything was perfect. He kept everything on schedule and was always making sure everything was going the way we wanted. He was so calm and confident it really relieved a lot of stress I was having. I will definitely recommend him to all I my friends! read more
