Hiring Dean was by far one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding!! I interviewed several DJs and many factors set Dean apart from the rest. He was personable, passionate and knowledgeable about his job, and had a keen ability to personalize things to our needs. What I liked about him most is that he respected what we (the bride & groom) wanted for our wedding. Which is a big "duh" but you'd be surprised how many DJs don't do that. We didn't want dancing during the reception (pandemic and all, and it's just not our thing) but we still wanted it to be fun and interactive for our guests, and Dean exceeded my expectations on making that possible. He has a great work ethic, and will take the time to walk you through the process of planning a great reception. One of my (picky) family members who's been to a lot of weddings said Dean was definitely one of the best MCs/DJs he's seen.
If you're looking for a DJ, STOP LOOKING AND BOOK DEAN! He's amazing and you won't regret it. Many guests came up to me after the wedding and commented on how much fun they had, and it's largely thanks to Dean and his wonderful energy and charisma!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Steven C.Los Angeles, CA215154Nov 25, 2017
As I look back at our wedding, it would not have been the same without Dean. He's not only an excellent business person (who treats you with the ultimate courtesy) but he's also an amazing MC. This is what sets him apart from the rest. He will absolutely bring your reception to life.
The MC is the one thing you don't want to miss on. It's very hard to find a good one. I would urge you to consider this fact - The person speaking at your wedding is what's going to make the difference. Anyone who touches that mic will be what separates your wedding from others. This is what I learned from having Dean as our DJ.
And surely our wedding was awesome!
Dean's fine-tuned, quality speaking is what truly makes him special. Others can get on the mic and speak. They'll say the words, they'll make the jokes, they'll introduce your party; but there's no command of the mic, there's no energy, there's no tone, there's no feel for those around them. And then there's Dean, and when Dean speaks, it gets the people going! This is what you need, if you want your wedding to be remembered.
Our guests could not stop laughing.
He was able to keep our guests engaged.
If your MC makes a joke, you don't want people to simply chuckle, you want them to literally laugh out loud. Dean absolutely helped to create the memorable experience we wanted.
When I think back at all the laughs, all the smiles, and all the fun, much of it was a direct reflection upon the atmosphere Dean created.
Dean is a supreme master of ceremonies.
I've been to a couple of friends weddings since Dean played host to ours. They actually requested that their DJ play the same games that Dean played at our wedding. However, the execution was not even close to comparison. I hate to sound rude, but it felt like a cheap imitation. Dean has mastered the art of delivery. You can play the same exact game, but it's the host who makes the difference. His detail and timing are surely amazing.
I can surely say, that all throughout our wedding, there was never a dry or dull moment.
Dean also gave us an anniversary idea that we cherish to this day. As a matter of fact, on our anniversary, it's one of the things we look forward to most.
Yes, Dean is truly a great DJ.
In regards to the music, Dean was humble enough to let us hand select our playlist. The music at our wedding is one thing that was easily controlled. Just give him a list of the songs you want played. This will ensure that you hear what you want. He played every single genre (and song) that we asked, and at no point during our wedding - was the dance floor ever empty.
We also booked his photo booth, and everything turned out perfect; high quality photos, excellent background, props, the whole shebang. The graphic was beautiful. The up lights were awesome. Everything was perfectly on cue. What a wonderful job that he did.
When it was all said and done, we're thankful we chose Dean.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Lita A.Azusa, CA1996Jul 25, 2021
We hired DJ Dean for our son's law school graduation/turned attorney party of over 100 people. Dean was awesome! He is pricey but worth every penny. Many of our guests commented on how great he was. He has a great personality and made everyone feel comfortable. The trivia games we played were so much fun! Dean was non stop entertainment! I highly recommend Dean for your special event. He was one of the highlights of our party and had a professional set up. Thank you, Dean, for a excellent job at our event!

If you are looking for a fantastic DJ, who will play the music you want, keep the party moving and entertain your guests, as well, look no further. Book Dean now before someone else takes your desired date!! He is so easy to work with and works to make your party a success. He is really the best!

We hired dean for our wedding, due to Covid we had to delay and push back our date, dean was a pleasure to work with and flexible with our needs. All our guests asked where we found him, he made our wedding memorable and fun. Hiring him was the best decision we made for our wedding.

During the course of planning our wedding, hiring Dean was probably the best decision we made. It has been almost a year and we still hear about how the DJ was the coolest.
Calling Dean a DJ is short-selling him quite a bit. He maintained the flow of the reception like a true master of ceremonies. He entertained the crowd throughout the event and made sure everything went per plan and schedule.
We had plenty of opportunities with Dean to hash out all the details that mattered. We provided him with a Spotify playlist and he was able to add to it based on our taste. He even gave us some advice on which songs to avoid and how to mix songs from three different cultures.
When it came time to end the night, everyone was having so much fun that we ended up extending the event by an hour.
Thank you Dean for an unforgettable night! It was perfect!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Becca J.Los Angeles, CA08Nov 13, 2022
DJ Dean is absolutely amazing. From the start, he was so prepared, organized, on top of EVERYTHING, and ensured that our wedding was going to be fun and engaging. Dean constantly communicated with us to ensure that our needs/wants were being met. Our biggest thing was that we wanted our guests to have fun, and Dj Dean brought that and more. Our guests still talk about how much fun they had our wedding and how the Dj was amazing. He has games/icebreakers really engaged the guests and while we were taking photos after dinner, we came back to everyone laughing, all guest tables participating, a little competition was occurring, and everyone having so much fun. Let him do his thing with all his icebreakers, games, and fun activities he has up his sleeve, you won't regret it at all. We also went with Dean for our photo-booth, which was everything and more. He personalized our photo strip, the backdrop, and our guests were able to get more than just 1 copy of the photos. If you're planning on getting married, Ultimate Events is the way to go. You will not regret it, and your guests will never forget how amazing your wedding was! We got married in October 2022, and people are still talking about how much fun they had from Dj Dean.

This is looooooong overdue, but we had Dean as our DJ in October 2017. Many friends of ours recall that our wedding was one of the most fun they've been to and I definitely think it's because of Dean. We had a bit of a wild and competitive crowd for guests and so I think one of the games Dean got them to play was a scavenger search/hunt. I'm pretty sure one of my guests gave him their underwear LOL! He played Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye toward the end of the night and we (50-60 people) danced in a hug/mosh pit while swaying to that song. It was just a grand ole time all around and he worked spectacularly well with our venue! I think they wanted to contract with him bc it was just that good. Everything flowed super well and seamlessly. This review doesn't do him justice, but we wanted to show him some love for such wonderful memories! Thanks Dean! You're the best!

Our wedding was exactly one year ago today, and it's great to think back knowing that, not only did it all go smoothly, but it was an absolute blast for everyone!
Ultimate Events is more than just a DJ. The timing of the whole reception was handled perfectly and everyone was inspired to get out of their seats and let loose for an awesome time, all thanks to the quality of entertainment.
The day of our wedding we felt so relieved that we did not skimp on this aspect of our wedding. Our guests made an effort to be there for us on our day, and we were so grateful to have provided an awesome evening! At the reception, the groom and I were able to happily drink wine, look at each other without worry, eat, laugh and dance. We are beyond satisfied and would book Ultimate Events again in a heartbeat!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
