Disco Royale

This review is long overdue, but I can't let Kevin down any longer. He slayed for us back in May 2015 on Whidbey Island. Long story short, Kevin is reasonably priced and unreasonably skilled. LOCK HIM DOWN FOR YOUR BIG DAY.

My then-fiancee and I have divergent music tastes, but Kevin saw beyond our specific requests and totally understood what kind of sound we wanted. Everything he played was a crowd-pleaser, perfectly apropos, from outdoor reception to post-last-dance wind-down. It was a ~long~ day, and Kevin was always on point.

Kevin was also extremely professional, and low-maintenance. He hit all his cues as MC, without us needing to manage him day-of. He knew the gameplan ahead of time, because he'd given us easy-to-fill forms ahead of time. And the equipment was great. More...

Kevin was incredibly nice, professional, and flexible. My husband and I were planning our wedding remotely, and Kevin was very flexible in agreeing to have Skype meetings instead of face-to-face meetings when we couldn't make it to Seattle, and he was full of great feedback and experience that helped make our day perfect. In fact, our very first discussion was over Skype, and Kevin was so easy to talk to, we hit it off right away. We used Disco Royale for DJ services and lighting, and Kevin also created a customized gobo for us which was absolutely STUNNING (and matched the font on our wedding invitations!!!!) and really transformed the reception space. He was very communicative throughout the music selection and other planning processes and I received great feedback from our guests about how nice and fun he was during our wedding reception. The music he picked was perfect throughout the evening and it helped get people on to the dance floor and stay out there! He also helped emcee our reception, which was a huge help in ensuring our guests didn't miss anything. In terms of value, Disco Royale is incredible - we looked at quite a few vendors before making our final decision, but the quality for the price was unbeatable. Thank you, Kevin, for making our wedding day so much fun and infinitely memorable! More...

Kevin was the perfect wedding dj. He was easy to work with and everything went off without a hitch. He was very accommodating in meeting with us at venue beforehand to get a feel for where everything would be located. He mic'd up myself and the officiant so we could be heard from the back. He accommodated two different setups: 1 for the ceremony, 1 for the reception area. He emceed the speeches, dances, cake cutting, etc. One of the main things we were looking for in a dj was someone who could beatmatch and mix dance music for the reception. We gave him a playlist of songs to show him what style we were looking for and then let him run with it. We couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. He brought a great sound system with him and the lights added to the good vibes. I would highly recommend Disco Royale for your event. More...

Kevin was a fantastic DJ and incredibly accommodating for us. The services he provided us went above and beyond providing music on our wedding day. He joined us during our first walkthrough of the venue and during our rehearsal to make sure the sound quality at the venue would be good enough and even provided extra equipment on the big day to enhance the sound on the rooftop, where our ceremony took place.

We were very intent on getting specific songs into each part of the wedding, and Kevin was more than willing to work with our playlists. We were even able to make some very last minute changes for the ceremony music without any problems from Kevin. In fact, from our first meeting on, Kevin was responsive to emails and very fun to speak with. Our guests loved the music, and given how busy we were, we can't exactly remember all the songs that were played, but Kevin's got that covered as well - he's sending us the complete playlists.

Kevin was definitely one of the best finds for our wedding. We'd highly recommend Disco Royale to anybody looking for a DJ! More...

Kevin did a great job at our wedding last weekend as our DJ. From the beginning he has been professional and has listened to our requests while offering great suggestions. On the day of the wedding Kevin also helped make things smoothly by being a great emcee (also helped us by asking questions we either didn't think of or forgot about prior to the wedding), and was on top of any last minute requests and schedule changes. Towards the end of the night Kevin was having some serious competition with the beautiful weather at our outdoor venue but he reeled people back in with the music. I'm so happy our wedding ended with a dance party.

Kevin's prices are extremely reasonable and competitive with other DJs I researched while wedding planning.

Kevin is very thorough, attentive, and patient, and has a very large repertoire of music. He is also creative and rolls with the punches: we gave him a huge list of songs for our planned 60-90 minutes of dancing, but we only ended up having about 20-30 minutes for dancing, so Kevin had to choose only the best songs, which he did very well! He even sends you a CD of your wedding music afterwards, so you can relive your special day. Highly recommend! More...

DJ Kevin was fantastic, start to finish. He not only played excellent music, but also (and way before the dancing) created a nice mood & flow with the crowd of 90. He cared enough to ask the right questions before, during, and after, and even brought a helper at no extra charge. His idea to have 2 separate locations for audio speakers also was wise, and he made that work as well for cocktail hour to toasts. Great guy, well-priced, great service. Cheers! More...

We recently used Disco Royale for our wedding ceremony and reception. Kevin did an AWESOME job! He was easy to work with and very flexible (we had some last minute music choices for the ceremony). Everything went very smoothly. I was worried about the sound and of course the microphone crackling or cutting out ( I have witnessed this at numerous wedding I have been to) but we didn't have any of those problems =) He had the speakers set up in the best position so everyone could hear the speeches (Our wedding was at The Canal, which has a very interesting layout for sound). He is very professional and great when it comes to talking to large groups of people. We had numerous guest mention how great our DJ was and that they loved the music selection. I didn't get to hear to much of the music since we went to take pictures, but from what I did hear during dinner I loved it. I would highly recommend Kevin to any bride and groom.

Kevin DJ/MC'd our wedding last month. He gave us a list of genres/artists just to get our gears turning, and was very flexible when it came to songs he did not know about. I requested songs from non-mainstream soundtracks, and he was able to hunt down and cut the songs to the exact places/lengths I wanted. He also provided us with a customization guide sheet to make sure we had the songs we wanted for key moments during the wedding. Kevin was responsive with his emails and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted, how we wanted it. When the big day came, he was spot-on with my request list and got my husband, my and my friends' music tastes so well that I had guests asking me throughout the night if I picked all the songs for the night! I barely had a chance to sit down because I couldn't get myself to sit out of any of the songs he played! The way he MC'd the evening was also perfect. Just the right amount of commentary and humor before going straight back to the course of events. When the night was winding down and only the closest friends and family remained, my guests spontaneously began circling my husband and I with candles and our send-off bubbles during the last dance. Kevin and his assistant Lauren joined right on in with the bubbles -- it was not at all necessary, but was very touching and showed me how much he cared to make our night special. Thank you, Kevin and Lauren!! More...

Love his form-based system, and his geniality. He did well with our last-minute requests to work the bride's brother in as MC & music director, and blended right into the background on the Big Day (in a positive way...

Kevin was wonderful from start to finish. He really seemed to understand our taste, and his "music menu" helped us think of danceable songs within the genres we liked -- this was extra important for us, since we're not big hip-hop/top40 fans but still wanted to play songs our friends would like and be able to dance to (and dance they did! ).

During the planning stages, we also appreciated that Kevin was very relaxed (important for stressed-out couples!) and so always professional -- never pushy, which was a vibe we'd gotten from some other DJs we'd talked to. Communication, whether by Skype, email, or in person, was a breeze because he was so responsive and friendly. We had a slightly nonstandard order of songs for the reception (we kicked things off with a hava nagila, with no real "first dance," etc.), and he was totally game to work with our plan.

On the day of, Kevin was gracious and flexible when dinner ran a little late and was able to wrap things up beautifully when our many east coast guests started to get sleepy. Most importantly, though, it was a great party, and friends of ours that we never expected to see on the dance floor were out there having fun. We had a bunch of weird requests, and Kevin was a total pro with all of them... Not everyone can make "Age of Consent" fit as a wedding reception song, but, somehow, he totally pulled it off. There was an impromptu soul train, a twist contest, and everybody went home tired and happy -- we danced all night! More...

Kevin from Disco Royale was so amazing! He met with us in person to chat and then was in constant e-mail contact. We got married on an island, so he was really flexible with bringing all of the supplies across the ferry. At the wedding he played all of the songs I had asked for and did a great job MC-ing. His extra song selections were all perfect for the crowd, people were dancing like crazy all night long! He was sick and yet still seemed high energy. Overall, I felt really cared for and would recommend this company to anyone! You also get a lot of 'bang for your buck', he was more affordable than some other DJs- and provided his own uplighting which was a great touch to the venue! Wonderful experience. More...

We met with a few other DJs first who just seemed really arrogant and expensive, but yet had very generic playlists and didnt seem to know much about music. Kevin from Disco Royale was a breath of fresh air and we were very relieved that we found him! From our first correspondence with him we knew that he was very professional and would be great to work with. He was very interested to hear about the types of music we liked and the vibe that we wanted for our big day. My fiance is really into a lot of different types of music and Kevin was very familiar with all of the names that my fiance threw at him and had a good sense of exactly what we were looking for. He definitely knows his stuff!
Kevin was also very prompt to respond to any emails I sent with questions or concerns. He sent song suggestions and had ideas for how to have ceremony and reception flow smoothly. He played all of the songs that we requested at some point throughout the night, and he had all of the right versions that we had requested. He made any announcements that we asked him to, but did so in a perfectly unobtrusive and professional manner. Kevin is very personable, easy-going, fun, and cool, and has a great attitude!
The dance floor was packed for most of the night and Kevin was extremely flexible and threw in a second "last" song since the groom missed the original last song. My only regret is that I was too busy running around for the first part of the evening to be able to truly enjoy the music and atmosphere that Kevin helped to create. But he has generously offered to create us a wedding CD with all of the songs on it from the day so we can relive it! It was a lovely event and we are extremely grateful that we had Kevin be a part of it! More...

DJ Kevin was absolutely in sync with the party. He is friendly, professional, and rather a dapper fellow, in person. We really enjoyed meeting him personally beforehand, and he geeked out over music with my fiancé. His music selections were thoughtfully organized, to help "prompt" folks who needed a little help finding the right direction. But truly, Kevin's genius lies in the party itself. I have never seen so many people beeline to the dance floor.
He found our totally obscure processional song (1800s northern swedish composer) without blinking. My husband is *still* talking about the version Virgina Plain (Roxy Music) Kevin played while everyone was on the dance floor. In chatting with folks about our wedding, everyone has brought up the "great music".
Kevin's skill to bring groups together was just awesome. Everyone was so comfortable and happy with the music, which can be hard to accomplish when you consider the actual lyrics of many popular dance songs.
Kevin ranks an A+ in our book, and if we ever have the pleasure of hosting another large event, he is our "go-to" man, hands down.
We can't recommend him highly enough. More...

I've been working with Kevin for over 10 years on a variety of parties so when it came time for my partner and I to get married there was really no question that Kevin would be a big part of making our wedding special. And true to form, Kevin was absolutely incredible at our wedding.

But the planning stage was super fun too. We talked about what kind of vibe we wanted, we talked about music that we liked in general... Truth be told we only gave Kevin a rough idea of the type of music we wanted during different parts of the event and he just rolled with it. That's because he doesn't need everything figured out ahead of time, just a sense of what you're looking for. Then he reads the room and plays stuff that he thinks people will jam on and they always do! That leaves room for fun surprises, like songs you haven't heard in a zillion years but love.

And he's got lights too to go with the huge music library!

If we could have we all would have danced all night long. And Kevin would have been right there leading the way. So much fun! More...
