Sean DJed our wedding at the Seattle Aquarium earlier this month, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We had numerous guests remark to us starting form the cocktail hour how great the music was. Sean kept the dance floor bumping the whole night and was gracious about receiving requests. Many family members that don't tend to stay late at family weddings stayed and danced the night away. Sean was great to work with leading up to the wedding, letting us share moods with him through a Spotify playlist, and working with us to get the dance rituals (e.g., first dance) and entrances right. We recommend Sean to anyone in the Seattle area looking to host an event where people have a good time. Thanks Sean! read more

Leslie DJed our wedding in Snoqualmie last month and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. From the beginning, Leslie listened to us and was very communicative. She even sent us samples of her style but was also more than open to specifics we wanted to play at our wedding. Leslie was also a very authentic and warm presence at our wedding. We enjoyed having her and her assistant. They were very professional and made our day so special. read more

I had the greatest time at my friend's wedding but the best part by far was being on the dance floor with DJ Leslie. She was so energetic, was spot on with her music selections, and kept everyone having a blast on the dance floor all night. I would highly recommend! read more

I am a wedding planner who has worked with Sean at several weddings. He has always been incredibly punctual, professional and has done a fabulous job every time. Most recently we worked on a Sunday evening event together. While sometimes Sunday events wrap up a little early, Sean did a wonderful job at keeping guests engaged, and had guests on the dance floor until the lights came up. I also appreciate Sean's experience with the technical side of things. The ceremony was a tricky dock setup, and speakers were also needed on an overhanging balcony. Sean managed everything with no issue, including multiple microphones/lapel microphones etc. The sound was great. Finally, he has a great system setup for couples, or wedding planners, to enter information for the day of the event. It was easy to use, and the event ran smooth as could be. Thanks Sean and Seattle Parties! Manette Gracie Events read more

DJ Sean was very responsive and great to work with. We first spoke to him over the phone, and his willingness to help and easy-going personality made it clear that he would be a great MC. Furthermore, he did not balk at our request for some samples. His sample mix that he "just threw together" were incredible! Some other DJ companies flat out refused or complained that it wasn't part of the interview...um, how are we supposed to know if you are any good if we can't hear any examples? We interviewed 5 DJs before we decided to work with DJ Sean. He can actually mix songs, which is different from fade the previous song and then transition to a new one. Mixing actually requires skill, which Sean has! We're used to music talent from California (LA always has the latest) and Sean can stand his own with that crowd! We hired Seattle Parties for our wedding about 6 months before the event. Our guests were 75% under 30 (really into clubbing), 5% in their 30s, and 20% somewhere between 55+. Sean really knew how to read the crowd. We only gave him about 2 dozen songs that were on the "must be played" list a week before the wedding and he took it from there. He chose the right songs to match the mood and activity during the reception. The older crowd (parents age) were raving about how he selected the perfect songs for the mood - light during speeches, good pace for eating, etc. They asked us if we picked those ourselves - which we didn't. All that credit goes to Sean! For the majority of the wedding guests, the dance floor was THE place to be after 11pm (when the music really took off). Our friends kept coming up to us, surprised and excited by what Sean was playing. The dance floor remained packed until we had to kick everyone out at 1am. Everyone was really impressed by Sean's mixing abilities and wide range of musical selection from our top requests, recent favorites to our favorite 90s hits. His ability to coordinate with our wedding planner was also astounding. When we were running behind, he was able to help set up the uplighting as we had discussed months ago. His ability to remember and prepare for our wedding was much appreciated. He also had a great voice for announcing things that made people laugh and pay attention, depending on what he was trying to achieve. Sean - Thank you SO much for delivering such an awesome DJ set and overall AV experience for our perfect day. read more

I have known Lesle and Sean for over 24 years. I hired Seattle Parties for my wedding in Indianola in 2011. They traveled by ferry, staying until the guests left. The d.j. worked with me to help alleviate any worries. My bff hired them for her 2017 wedding at Columbia Tower. Sean's energy was perfect, the wedding was a blst. read more

DJ Leslie turned the dance floor at our wedding into an amazing PARTY. My wife and I (along with the majority of our guests) danced non-stop until they literally turned the lights on at the end of the night. She does a great job at reading the crowd and left us wanting more at the end of the night. Beyond the dancing, she did a wonderful job with the sound/audio for our ceremony, toasts and other music. I'll never forget when I heard Bittersweet Symphony start (the processional music) - the sound gave me goosebumps! If you are in the market for a DJ/MC, Leslie will make you look good. read more

Leslie and Sean are an Amazing team. Leslie plays a wide range of music and when she did my event there was ALWAYS someone on the floor dancing. She gets everyone going with the right kind of vibe. You wont regret having her host your next party!!! read more

A huge thank you to wonderful DJ Kristina! We met with her a few months before our wedding (which we had to completely redo in about 4 months due to external circumstances), and was amazingly professional and helpful. The facility that we used in Ballard had its own somewhat-prehistoric sound system, and she visited the facility beforehand to make sure that her equipment would be able to interface, and also brought her own backup speakers just in case. The sound system went off without a hitch, and she was spot-on with not playing banned songs while also adding some of her own filler music. Everyone was dancing during the reception, old and young. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Update: If I could give 6 stars, I would. Not only was the music great, apparently Kristina saved our playlist, so if in the future I want to use them for background music at another event, I can recreate it. read more

Hiring DJ Sean was one of the first and best decisions we made for our wedding. He has a very laid-back approach and we were immediately comfortable with him - he isn't about the bells and whistles, just wants to play great music and throw a good party. Our reception music was perfect and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Everything was exactly as we discussed and the songs transitioned smoothly; we got a lot of compliments about the music from our guests too. He also helped cut our first dance song to our desired length and provided uplighting. I couldn't recommend Seattle Parties more - they're affordable and Sean was so easy to work with. Thank you!! read more

Leaslie and Seattle Parties were a hit. They were priced right. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive either. The value Leslie delivered exceeded our expectations. Use them if they are available. Having Leslie MC, and help guide our wedding night along was done flawlessly. People couldn't stop talking about the music and from the time the music started, people didn't stop dancing until the end of the night. A blast was had by all. read more

DJ Mark was a completely fabulous DJ for our wedding in August! I cannot recommend Seattle Parties enough. From start to finish Mark was attentive, responsive and great on the actual day of the event. We are still getting compliments on the music and how he mixed all different styles and genres so seamlessly. I was nervous because I really didn't have time to micromanage any of the music or even our selection. We hired Seattle Parties on a recommendation from a friend, who had used Sean for their wedding. We didn't even interview anyone else. When Sean recommended Mark I basically just went with it. They have a great online tool where you can load up songs that you would like to hear at your event. I assigned this task to a very music savvy friend of mine who spent about 2 hours picking out a mix of about 60 songs. I then talked with Mark before the event and he said that he would pick another 40-50 songs to mix in - ones he knew were crowd pleasers at weddings. This made me nervous, but I just went with it, trusting from our discussions that he would choose genres I told him we liked (the online tool also let's you pick songs that you hate - a "no play" list, awesome!) Well, the night of the event was just smashing. We didn't have a lot of traditions that required Mark to say a lot for us (no parties to announce, no cake cutting, etc.) but when it came time for the music he was fired up! We even had friends who NEVER dance to hip hop on the dance floor. It was amazing! He was also so kind and generous to those making special requests including our 12 year old nephew who was so nervous to ask for the last song. It ended up being an awesome selection and he was so excited that Mark was so willing to chat with him about his selection. (Mark also got there early and set up audio for our ceremony, which went really well too.) So, I cannot recommend Mark and this team enough. We were very pleased customers! read more

We couldn't be more happy with Leslie and every thing she did to make our wedding memorable! She did a wonderful job of making sure everything stayed on track and stayed true to our music choices! She has a soothing voice and a calm demeanor. Her professionalism and attention to detail as the MC made for a great day all around. read more

DJ Leslie has been a part of our non profit fundraiser fashion shows for The Ruby Room for a number of years now. She is the consummate professional who 'gets it' and always brings her A game. She can MC an event or just be there to support you in the background. She innately has that perfect music to accompany whatever is going on at the moment. We lean on her to help us craft our sound for each event and she never disapoints. As a small business owner DJ Leslie has brought sophistication to our quarterly 'Girls Night Out' events. Even though her forte is higher end events with lots of moving pieces, she's nimble and flexible and able to elevate our small intimate event to the party that the neighborhood can't stop talking about. I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend DJ Leslie and her team of professionals for any event big or small. I will continue to make her a part of all of my party and business planning! read more

DJ Sean is the man! We hired him for our wedding on Whidbey Island and could not have been more pleased. He did a great job organizing the crowd without being over the top or distracting. Super professional and classy. He was very receptive to our pre-discussed music selections but also took recommendations and tailored to the crowd. He even let us use his projector at the last minute at no additional cost. All around great find. read more

DJ Leslie was amazing. Our wedding was a week ago and I am still getting compliments from our guests about our DJ, but all of the credit goes to her. She was more than happy to roll with some of our odder music selections and she made sure our guests were entertained with both her music and exuberance. She was extremely responsive during the planning process and I can only hope I need to hire a DJ in the future so I can work with her again. Thanks, Leslie for making our big day even better! read more

Leslie was incredible, liaising directly with the venue and getting her sound check and set up done before the party. She played chilled music when the party began and then rocked the house when it was dance time! She had asked for favorite dance tracks ahead of time and managed to play them all in the 3 hours she DJ'd. She was amazing and I would recommend her unreservedly. read more

I loved working with Sean for our wedding! Super easy to work with, straight forward, and knows his stuff. He goes with the flow and handles everything so you don't have to worry about anything. He did an amazing job picking out music despite my vague requests and all announcements were done seamlessly. read more

DJ Leslie made last night was such a **HIT** with the kids!! What a fun event and it was so awesome to see the kids doing all of their moves: The break dancing boys, the acrobatic girls...even doing a split! All the toddlers out their learning to move to the beat of the music. I have to say it was one of the mot interactive parties we have had yet. Of course the parents were thrilled, taking pictures and videos of their little ones as their faces beamed with pride. SO thank you Seattle Parties for making the night a hit and so much fun!!! You are the best. read more

DJ Leslie provided the music for our wedding, and she was fantastic. Very easy to work with, and very eager to provide you with an experience you'll always fondly remember. She had our entire party out on the dancefloor having a good time. read more

Sean is fantastic! Our videographer (Mitch @ Cabfare Productions) recommended him. He was very responsive and had the perfect laid-back nature that comes from DJing hundreds of weddings was still very interested in learning our unique desires. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time to compile lists of songs for him (which he said we could do), so he quickly diagnosed my style through several thoughtful questions. On the day of the wedding he was a complete joy to work with and stayed until the last person stopped dancing at 1:45 without an extra charge. Literally dozens of our friends told me how much they loved him. He somehow managed to keep our mixed age group of guests on the dance floor all night. Sean's a great person to have on your wedding team; get him early. read more

DJ Jo Ann helped make our wedding amazing! She brings a level of professionalism that can't be beat. Beforehand she met with us when we were first planning our wedding... And we immediately knew everything was going to be great. Jo Ann laid out a simple plan and made it super easy for us. She was at the venue 4 hours early to setup and finalize all the details we had been holding off on confirming. It was such a relief on our wedding day to know we were in such prepared and capable hands. I cant recommend her enough! read more

If anyone is looking for a fun and professional DJ for your event, please use Seattle Parties. You will not be disappointed! Sean was very highly recommended by our venue, and I am so glad we worked with him. He was also great with communication throughout the entire planning process. Sean thank you so much for making our wedding awesome! read more

As a local wedding planner I have worked with both Sean and Leslie of Seattle Parties, and they are amazing! I never have to worry about any of the sound, music, emcee or even lighting aspects when they are on board. They are enthusiastic about music and always get the dance floor going strong! I recently used Leslie for my own event, and she wowed everybody from the cocktail & dinner music on through to dancing. The guests from age 5 to 65 were all having a blast and that is not an easy accomplishment! I can't say more positive things about them!! read more

Seattle Parties is the best!! DJ Leslie knows how to accommodate any party to make you feel comfortable as well as have a great time dancing the night away to any type of music you request. They are great with weddings, corporate events, or even a sweet sixteen!! Contact them today you will be glad you did. read more

I've had the opportunity to work with Seattle Parties on a very special wedding in May of 2012. Not only did Leslie show up with top-of-the-line equipment and a professional, high-energy attitude, she literally set the mood from moment to moment throughout the wedding with her amazing and versatile lighting. From ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing, the ambiance of the space gracefully moved from mood to mood and really added a lot to the overall feel of the evening. Lighting is one of the best ways to create a unique and beautiful space, and Seattle Parties knows just what they're doing. I can't recommend this DJ company enough if you are looking for great entertainment as well as a one-of-a-kind lighting package. Superb! read more

Sean at Seattle Parties is great - communicative, professional, courteous, punctual, patient, and knows how to DJ! Highly recommend!!! Thank you! (Wedding was 4 years ago but apparently this review never posted???) read more

Sean played at our party last night and he was amazing! He was super professional and I highly recommend using Seattle Parties. We definitely will use them in the future. Thank you so much for doing such a great job at our event! read more

Leslie was and is a spectacular DJ. I just had her do the music at my 50th birthday party. She is a hell of a lot of fun, kept the pace going and had everyone engaged at the appropriate times. She has fantastic energy and was also fun to watch her grooving behind the booth to the music. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of hiring a DJ! read more

DJ Leslie was the DJ for our wedding and she is absolutely amazing! She was so incredibly easy to work with and willing to meet with us/check in as many times as we needed leading up to the day. Our guests raved about the music and had a fabulous time dancing. We can not recommend DJ Leslie enough- she truly made our wedding special! read more

Sean Wheatley was the dj at our wedding July 2012 and I have nothing but praises for him. The dance floor was full all night. There were smiles on all the faces as he rocked the venue. The announcements for all the events also went very smooth from pre dinner drinks, to dinner, cake cutting, and the first dances, Sean led the way. He also followed our recommendations of music choices yet had a good choice of his own music. We recommend Sean to anyone looking for an amazing dj!! read more

DJ Leslie was on time, enthusiastic and had a great attitude! She was positive, excited to be there and got the guests moving and dancing. She read the crowd well and mapped the songs to the group. I would hire her again, anytime! read more

Leslie was amazing! We love her! we were pretty specific about some of the music we wanted at our wedding. she was able to tie in radiohead at dinner, and even a NIN remix at the end of the night b/c it's my husband's favorite group. My biggest concern was having a dj that could read the crowd - don't put on Dynamite while my grandpa is on the dance floor, and if the floor clears when you put on a song, change it - Leslie was everything I wanted in a DJ and more! She read the crowd, threw in the stuff we love and wanted, but made sure people stayed on the dance floor and pleased everyone. Seriously, the dance floor was packed from beginning til the end. She even gave us a CD playlist of the songs from our ceremony and specific ones from reception. I'd hire her again in a second. read more

Sean and Leslie were amazing at an event I attended recently. They had people out on the dancefloor and kept the music mix lively and varied. Really knew how to read the crowd and play things to keep people interested. read more

We had Sean DJ and do lighting for our daughter's 15th Birthday/Quinceanera last weekend at the Mercer Island Event Center. There were 150+ guests with musical tastes ranging from Salsa to Hip Hop. He was amazing and kept the crowd dancing! He also worked with my florist/décor person and did all the lighting for the event. Perfect! So easy and wonderful to work with! Feel blessed that I found him here on Yelp and hired him! The evening was pure Magic! read more

Sean was our wedding DJ and he was fantastic! We didn't want a game show host-type DJ that would talk non-stop throughout the reception. Sean isn't like that at all! He is super low key and we knew he'd be a great fit for us. We met with him twice - once to interview, and once a couple weeks before the wedding. We had some specific songs we wanted, but we trusted Sean to play something good before the ceremony started, which he did. After the ceremony during dinner, we had told him a few bands we liked, so he played a selection of their songs. He got the party started after dinner and no one wanted to leave! We got married on new year's eve, so Sean took charge of the countdown to midnight. Sean also took care of our officiant's mic, the mics for the speeches, etc. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and there weren't any awkward moments of feedback/screeching on the mics. We didn't feel the need for a ton of fancy lighting, but Sean brought a few and I think it enhanced the feel when everyone was dancing. We highly recommend Sean! read more

DJ Sean is the best. My wedding planner recommended Seattle Parties to DJ for my wedding, and it was immediately obvious why. Sean is friendly, easy-going, responsive, and had really good advice about how to achieve the vibe we wanted. We had a friend officiate our wedding and Sean provided all of the microphone and audio equipment needed. He also provided uplighting that looked great in our venue. We had a number of 'must play' requests which he seamlessly incorporated into his playlist. He also did a fantastic job of matching the music to the audience: lots of fun kid-friendly songs at the beginning when all the kiddos were on the dance floor, then party music when the adults took over. I highly recommend Seattle Parties for anyone searching for a great DJ. read more

We hired DJ Leslie of Seattle Parties with the hope of hosting a classy yet FUN wedding reception at AQUA. Based on all her good reviews, we had high expectations and she exceeded our wildest dreams. Her music selection, her timing, her personality and her amazing voice were perfect. This was a second wedding for both of us, most of our guests were in their mid 50s, but we also had a nice crowd of 20 year olds and a sprinkling of 80+ year olds. The cocktail music set an upbeat tone, the dinner music was romantic and the dance music got EVERYONE on their feet...and I mean everyone, even people who claim they "don't dance". Several guests mentioned that this was one of the very best parties they've ever been to...and that includes some very experienced party-goers. :-) I recommend her highly. If you want to have the perfect wedding reception or an awesome party that people will be talking about for years, hire DJ Leslie. read more
