Darius the owner was super easy to deal with, communicated well, and listed to our ideas. Honestly I was kind of a pain in the a** to deal with as I had a million questions but he was patient and understanding. The DJ did a tremendous job, was dressed nice, set up a really good sounding system, was punctual, and made the party a blast. Overall I'm very pleased and will be using their services again in the future. More...

DJ Artem and Blake DJed and brought the photo booth for my daughter's birthday. It was the best investment for my party. Everyone used the photo booth several times and everyone told me how cool it was to have a skilled DJ playing music ! Oh yeah they also brought the bubble machine which was huge distraction for the young kids (in a good way LOL)

I highly recommend a DJ and photo booth for your party and definitely hire this company (they bring the bubbles!) More...

Dear Darius, we are so happy to have found you for our wedding DJ services, & are eternally grateful to you for sending DJ Seth Felder our way for our wedding last month.

We really enjoyed meeting you during our preliminary phone call, &
we subsequently knew from our conversations with Seth that we would be in great hands: he was attentive to our needs, listened actively to us, made helpful suggestions, & was prompt with promised follow-throughs.

From beginning to end, Seth was absolutely pivotal in making our wedding a stress-free success.
He has a beautiful, serene presence, & made sure our wedding stayed on schedule with timing & announcements to the guests.

And when it was time to dance, he created an amazing, beautiful mix that got everyone up and dancing (even those loved ones who had pronounced beforehand that they just don’t dance!)

In short, Seth’s amazing presence & talents allowed us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day.
Much gratitude to both of you for all you do. More...

Thank you JT and Charles, we understand it is your big day and we truly do our best to meet expectations and it is always amazing to hear we exceeded them. We wish you two the best and many more milestones to come!

We had the pleasure of having Dwayne as the DJ at our wedding in Santa Cruz, CA, and we couldn't have been happier with his exceptional talent and professionalism. From the moment we reached out to him, he displayed excellent communication skills and a genuine enthusiasm for making our special day memorable.

Dwayne understood our musical preferences well and seamlessly incorporated our favorite songs into the playlist. The transitions between songs were flawless, keeping the energy on the dance floor high throughout the entire evening. He skillfully read the crowd and adjusted the music accordingly, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time.

Not only was Dwayne incredibly skilled at his craft, but he also went above and beyond to create a captivating atmosphere. His state-of-the-art equipment and lighting setup added a magical touch to the venue, transforming it into a vibrant and lively space that perfectly complemented the joyful atmosphere of the celebration.

Dwayne's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. He arrived well-prepared and set up his equipment efficiently, allowing us to focus on other aspects of the wedding without any worries. His warmth, kindness, friendly and approachable demeanor made him a pleasure to work with, and he effortlessly blended in with the guests, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and engaged.

Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we owe a great deal of that to Dwayne. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and personable DJ who will elevate their event to the next level. Thank you, Dwayne, for contributing to our magical day and creating memories that will last a lifetime! More...

Very transparent and gave a big picture with all the details in place easily over the phone.

Darius was the ultimate professional to work with! He worked attentively with the bride and groom leading up to the wedding to understand what they wanted their celebration to feel like. He achieved that seamlessly. He read the crowd and kept the dance floor filled the entire evening with his music choices. It was a party, and there is no question how important it is to have the right DJ to create that atmosphere. Darius is THAT DJ! He worked thoughtfully behind the scenes, before, during and after the wedding (we used his photobooth service as well, and he sent all of the photos taken throughout the night to us digitally), keeping the focus right where it should be - on the bride and groom!

We were looking for a DJ that could play a good mix of American and Bollywood music. DJ David was everything we could have asked for and more. We were very impressed with the whole process, as well as the professionalism and care that Darius and David both gave to making sure we got the experience we wanted. After an initial call with Darius, he matched us with David who is familiar with Bollywood. David met with us multiple times to make sure we were all on the same page about what we envisioned for our day. The whole wedding went very smoothly, and we were very impressed with David's flexibility and ability to get everyone dancing. We highly recommend Groove on Hyde Street! More...

We are so happy to be part of your big day. Multicultural weddings are the best! Best wishes to you both

Darius was just awesome. Super professional and knows how to host a party! Helped make our wedding day perfect.

Darius was an AMAZING DJ! Was really good at feeling the vibe of the room and keeping energy high, while also throwing in a few classic moments. Very easy to work with and had great suggestions. I wouldn't change anything about our experience! More...

We cannot say enough amazing things about Shawn!! From the moment we met him, my husband and I knew this would be an awesome partnership. Shawn was so kind and quick to accept our music requests. We wanted to start out with family friendly “classic” wedding music and then transition into true club music with lots of fading between songs. We were blown away with how he completely understood the assignment!! He really has a passion for music and DJing and we were lucky to have him at our rave in the woods.

We had a fairly spread out venue with our ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and dance floor all in different places. I was really concerned with how Shawn would navigate this but he was so professional and easy and ended up setting up his equipment in two different spots!! It was perfect and really was such a relief.

Not only was Shawn professional and talented, but he was also such a fun guy to have around!! Our guests absolutely loved him. They’re all still talking about “Sexy Shawn: dopest DJ in the PNW”

Our wedding reception was awesome and we really owe it to Shawn for giving 110% effort and throwing us a damn good party at an incredibly reasonable rate.

Definitely hire him (and Groove On Hyde). You won’t be disappointed! More...

It's true DJ Shawn is the golden ticket to a great night

Darius was amazing! He had everything organized, kept us on track, and we loved the song selections throughout the evening. A lot of our guests commented on how good of a DJ we had! More...

We are a DJ company named Puget Sounds and Darius assisted us at a wedding this past weekend. Our Bride and Groom requested more uplighting than what we have, so Darius brought uplighting and set them up. The Bride and Groom were also event planners, so their expectations were high. They loved the uplighting and also the new addition to our DJ booth (the white facade with uplighting). I can’t say enough about how organized, professional, and enthusiastic Darius is as a DJ. I would highly recommend him for any event and trust that any of our clients would be in good hands with him as their DJ. More...

Thank yo so much Dale, it is always a privilege to work with you

Darius and Dwayne were great to work with! We hired them later as our original DJ could not accommodate our newest date change. After filling out a questionnaire about our wedding timeline, events, and music preferences we had a one-on-one meeting to help describe our vision to the team at Groove on hyde. During the wedding, Dwayne was able to read the vibe and play appropriate music. He listened to requests and communicated to guests last call, last dance, etc. Highly recommend! More...

Thank you Blair we know its your biggest day ever so we take treat it as such. Best wishes to you both!

Darius was a fantastic choice for our wedding. We had a 2 cultures coming together and were worried about everyone being happy with how it turned out. The planning process with him was extremely easy and stress-free. Darius truly made it a night to remember. The music was fantastic, uplighting made for a cozy ambiance. Darius also provided us with sparklers for a grand, photo exit. It was truly a perfect night and Darius was a major part of making our wedding exaclty what we wanted it to be. More...

Thank you Ruvim. I loved the Russian food!

Shawn was awesome! The music selection was spot on. The transitions were executed well. Plus he was quite personable! I’m still hearing from guests who are raving about my wedding reception. One of my guests, Tom, who is 80 years old said it was the best wedding he’s been to. You and Shawn may have seen him cutting up on the dance floor. Lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. More...

DW was a fantastic DJ who played all of our requests and kept the dancefloor moving. He was our MC for the evening and did a great job. We would recommend anyone for his services. More...

Darius is truly a master of his craft. He is always putting his clients’ needs first and has a true passion for what he does. Very detail oriented, creative and most importantly fun. He is wonderful DJ and excellent professional. Highly recommend his services! More...

I’ve never looked for a DJ before, but my niece was having trouble finding someone available for her wedding day. Stumbled on Bark. com online and in less than 24 hours we have someone lined up. Very helpful! More...

Darius of Groove On Hyde Street was professional, personable and did a great job keeping the dance floor and flow of the night on point!

We had a great wedding experience with Groove on Hyde Street! We booked them pre-pandemic and they were very accommodating when we had to reschedule. I did most of my early communication with Darius, then later communication before the event with Dwayne, our DJ. Dwayne really helped us feel very calm and organized before the event started. He gave us a lot of input into different aspects of the evening while also balancing out with more popular tunes. I got lots of compliments on the mix of songs he played from my dad, bridesmaids, and more! More...

Darius from Groove on Hyde Street was awesome to work with! He played all right music straight into midnight and also was a nice all in one with a photo booth! Would definitely recommend Darius!! More...

Absolutely down to earth and can't wait to have them celebrate our special day.

Wow, where to start with Bunny on Hyde Street and DJ Darius... The flexibility? The affordability? The quality standard? The party No, I'm going to start with the most important part, the memories. That's what a wedding is all about when everything is said and done. Darius delivered on every aspect of our most special day and made perfect memories effortless. While he positions himself as a DJ, Darius is truely a master of ceremony. He took every opportunity to make our wedding flow and operate perfectly. We couldn't have been happier and our guests couldn't have been either. As far as music selection goes, from the beginning we weren't the easiest clients either. Our selections didn't include any classics in the wedding scene, virtually no pop, Motown, 80's in general. Somehow he made a perfect selection of songs, transitions, sweeps, and kept it going all night. Not an easy feat, and as I said, it was perfect. More...
