I cannot say enough about working with this company for my wedding! I feel like Darren and his colleagues went above and beyond to make it a great experience. Darren kept everyone laughing. Darren was our officiant and kept everything fun and personal and everything he read for our ceremony was perfect for us. Oh! Make sure you use Christina Perris's 'A Thousand Years' for your ceremony 😉 Darren was our DJ as well and kept everyone dancing all night long! They were also able to provide a photographer for us with our package which worked out great. Thanks again DMV for helping to make our day so wonderful!

Darren DJ'ed our wedding reception on October 11. I was impressed that he was willing to travel to La Porte, which is quite a ways from where he works out of at no extra fee. When we first came in contact (from Thumbtack) we arranged a meeting to get to know each other. He was very accommodating to our musical requests and we felt he handled the emcee duties professionally and in an entertaining manner. He was there on time and even stayed an extra hour beyond our original agreement (for a cost of course). He stated that he usually has a second person to help set up and tear down but was by himself for our reception. I felt like he worked around his disadvantage flawlessly and can't thank him enough for his efforts. He even went so far as to help us find other services needed like a photographer, baker, etc. Though we ended up going elsewhere for those services, he was helpful in that regard. Really great experience. Would highly recommend!

I can't explain just how grateful I am for Darren and his team. First off they're all such genuine and kind people. My husband and I planned our wedding in Kentucky all the way from Texas. I found Darren on thumbtack, he called us and I was sold. Because we're dual military we didn't have time to meet with Darren until the wedding, he called,texted and emailed us throughout the whole process. When we finally got to meet it felt like Darren was a family friend. Everyone absolutely loved him and his team. We hired him as our officiant, DJ, photographer and videographer and it was well worth it. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and that's all because of Darren. I highly recommend Darren for your wedding, I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you so so much Darren, Carlos and Ben! Chris and I are so grateful for you guys :)

Darren was FANTASTIC!!!! We were in from out of town this Thanksgiving, and last minute decided to do some family pictures. We only had one day, and it happened to be the day after Thanksgiving. I never want to take someone away from their family, but he was so kind and wanted to make sure that we had something special! He took time out of his day to find a location for us, and spoke with me on several occasions, even late in the evening, to make sure we were getting everything we wanted!! Never once did he act like it was a problem, nor did he ignore any questions or concerns I had!! Such a sweet guy, and very accommodating! It ended up turning SO cold, he never once tried to rush and he took his time with my family. He continuously asked for anything we wanted, and made sure we had it. We had my parents four legged baby with us, and he even did so much to make sure she was a part of it!! She can't hear, so he took extra time getting her to look at him, and took multiple shots with her! Even as he was preparing our pictures, he would snap a pic and send it to us!! We can not wait to get them all!! He went above and beyond, and gave us even more shots than we discussed, and even more so in the photographer himself!! Anyone looking for someone who is personable, kind hearted, willing to truly put an effort into your pictures, or anything else, make sure you hit the hire button!! If you make that great choice, you will for sure be VERY satisfied!! I know who to call when we are take pictures again, or anything else we might need, as he is pretty much a one stop shop!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Darren!! We can not wait to work with you again!!!
