Testimonials

According to the American Disc Jockey Association (A.D.J.A.), A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.

What can we say about A Perfect DJ except that the name speaks for itself. Dennis understood exactly what we wanted and needed for our wedding. He came to our rescue more than once and helped us through a very stressful time by becoming an event coordinator himself.

Dennis even filled in at the last minute when our pianist was unable to perform. Within 5 days of our wedding, he was able to learn the songs we wanted, organize

them on guitar and turned them into a wonderful arrangement for our service.

He was part of every aspect of our event from live acoustic music for the ceremony, to playing the best music at our reception. I believe we were the lucky ones to have the privilege of working with Dennis and have him from start to finish, create the perfect sound track to our perfect day.

We look forward to working with Dennis and A Perfect DJ in the future and hope that everyone will have the same experience that we did.

Thank you Dennis Barela and A Perfect DJ.

“Your music was great. It’s a shame we had to quit at 10:00 P.M. because I know we all would have been dancing until 3:00 A.M. if we’d had the chance. I’d recommend you to anyone! You should put THAT on your website!”

Music: "Cross My Heart" is a male vocal pop/country song. Dennis did it all - writing, recording and mixing.

Recording: This is a heck of a good job for a one-man band. Dennis has written an absolutely radio-friendly song!

Summary: Hopefully, Dennis' song has found the ears of an A&R person, it's that good.

Dennis,

Thank you again for your professional service, attire, and flexibility with the event. I had a blast and it appears the guests did too. If you and I keep living the good life, we should look like them in our senior years.

A true compliment is that the children were very comfortable with you also.

Looking forward to using your services again in the future. More than happy to be a referral in the future if needed.

Best regards,

Date of Purchase:	10/04.
Service Performed:	They Dj'd our wedding.
Comments:	This was the best DJ service we have ever had. Dennis WAS the perfect dj. Dennis works very hard for you and really takes the time to find out what music you would like to have. He covers all the bases and really works with you to make the day PERFECT!!! He has a great personality and makes sure that what ever you want is what you get. I would recommend him to anyone and already have. We will now be using him in the future for any event that requires a dj. I highly recommend him. His rate is fabulous as well. It was our wedding day and one of the reason it was so perfect was because of A PERFECT DJ!!! Collene Belgin, Riverside, CA.

Hi Dennis, I called on your references and everyone had nothing but great things to say about you. The same message I kept hearing from people was how personalized you make the reception/party. One of the company's said that they used you for last year's Christmas Party and they said they are going to use you again this year. (did you know that?) Another talked about how they were in a jam a week before their wedding and you bailed them out.

Long story short, we would love to go with you. So what is the next step to booking?
