DJ Brentano did an absolutely amazing job! He met with my husband and I multiple time before the wedding and attended the rehearsal dinner to make sure everything went smoothly. I didn’t have a day of coordinator or wedding planner and he was able to step in, keep everything on track, and MC the whole wedding ceremony and reception. So many guests complimented me on my choice of DJ because he did such a great job. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 15/10 would recommend!

Brentano is LITERALLY the best you could hire for you DJ/MC needs. He not only goes above and beyond, but he is funny and fun to be around. Not only did he take care of our music/MC needs, but he even took it upon himself to pour our cider for our toasts so that the family members that helped could enjoy themselves. He is worth more than his weight in gold. He’s THE BEST.

A much overdue review! RDJ is worth every penny and more! Brentano was amazingly flexible and worked with my husband and I as are wedding first time round wound up getting canceled a month prior to the wedding! A few years later he worked with us again to make our wedding perfect in every way. Not only are you getting a DJ, but you get a coordinator, comedian and more. He brought life, joy, and a sense of peace and smoothness I could have only hoped for on such a fast pace and special day. You will not be disappointed!

RDJ Collective's reply

Oh my, I totally did not expect to wake up this morning and read this review from you Christina. what kind words! Thank you so much. I think of you guys every time someone mentions that they want to get married at Curleys. Let’s just say, if Christina and Edgar ever want to hire anyone else out there in the world for something they are a great and amazing couple to work for. I give them a perfect 5 star rating! Thank you Christina and tell Edgar I said hello!

Brentano was ABSOLUTELY the best host/dj for my mom’s 60th Birthday! The amazing engagement he had with the whole party, taking control of all of our left feet and loose hips! The app to suggest music was really easy to use and even tho we only added a few, you caught the vibe and slayed! Keep it up! We will be requesting your services for any and all of our future events! 10/10 recommend for ANY function! Thank you my friend!!!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Standard rates are typically $300 an hour for local gigs (Spokane/Coeur d'Alene) for the 1st 4 hours for any wedding and debatably for gigs out of town. If it’s a corporate event, private party, etc then the rates are based on where the event is and how many guests and duration of event. Everything is debatably and most of the pricing is determined by length of engagement, distance traveled, how much prep work has to go into the event & how much gear is required or do it. If we have to travel a long distance and if there is over-night accommodations, say for things like destination weddings. Discounts for all branches of the Military, M.T.F.U. members.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I like to let them know what all we do to make there event a success. I like to keep all correspondence through Thumbtack and than a meet & greet somewhere of their convenience to sign contracts and go over details of there event. Maybe a venue check if it is at a place that I’ve have never done or haven’t been to in a real long time. I really try to give people as much as I can to make their event look amazing, sound amazing and be as memorable as possible without the customer having to do anything other then enjoying themselves!

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  My education has all been based on my life experiences in the business of music in one way, shape or form or another. After more than decades of being a musician who can actually play an instrument, other then just 2 turntables, DJing, hosting, emceeing and promoting thousands of events and over 700 weddings myself. I feel I continue to educate myself with each new event, each customer has different tastes and needs and there is always new music everyday to listen to.
