Seattle Parties

"Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed working with DJ Leslie throughout the entire process of planning our big day...but I will do my best here. From all the music coordination, to the lighting services, to everything else, the moment I met Leslie, and all the communications we had over email, phone, and in-person meetings, Leslie and her husband Sean at Seattle Parties are the true definition of professionals (and being REALLY, REALLY good at what they do!). Leslie worked with us on all the entertainment down to the smallest details as we planned our wedding, and that allowed us to have such an incredible and successful day! From being extremely flexible to our desire in music to the type of music we wished to have played at various different events, she exceeded our expectations and was just super awesome to work with. I don't know if there is any other DJ out there who would go to such great lengths like she did to make one's wedding day so special and something that we, and all of our guests, will always remember. Leslie, THANK YOU for everything that you did for us, from the beginning, all the way to the end. We can't thank you enough for...well everything...it meant so much to us, and you became a friend of ours along the way, we were lucky and fortunate to have met you at the Open house the year before. Your coordination, work ethic, and (again) flexibility to work with us and our music tastes was probably the best customer service a business owner and DJ could give to someone, it was truly amazing, and I wanted to thank you again. I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Leslie and the entire team at Seattle Parties for your next big event, be it your big day or any other celebration, she will deliver the results and make you very happy :) Thank you!!" –John T

"DJ Sean was very responsive and great to work with. We first spoke to him over the phone, and his willingness to help and easy-going personality made it clear that he would be a great MC. Furthermore, he did not balk at our request for some samples. His sample mix that he "just threw together" were incredible! Some other DJ companies flat out refused or complained that it wasn't part of the interview...um, how are we supposed to know if you are any good if we can't hear any examples?  We interviewed 5 DJs before we decided to work with DJ Sean. He can actually mix songs, which is different from fade the previous song and then transition to a new one. Mixing actually requires skill, which Sean has! We're used to music talent from California (LA always has the latest) and Sean can stand his own with that crowd! We hired Seattle Parties for our wedding about 6 months before the event. Our guests were 75% under 30 (really into clubbing), 5% in their 30s, and 20% somewhere between 55+. Sean really knew how to read the crowd. We only gave him about 2 dozen songs that were on the "must be played" list a week before the wedding  and he took it from there.  He chose the right songs to match the mood and activity during the reception.the older crowd (parents age) were raving about how he selected the perfect songs for the mood - light during speeches, good pace for eating, etc. They asked us if we picked those ourselves - which we didn't. All that credit goes to Sean! For the majority of the wedding guests, the dance floor was THE place to be after 11pm (when the music really took off). Our friends kept coming up to us, surprised and excited by what Sean was playing. The dance floor remained packed until we had to kick everyone out at 1am. Everyone was really impressed by Sean's mixing abilities and wide range of musical selection from our top requests, recent favorites to our favorite 90s hits.His ability to coordinate with our wedding planner was also astounding. When we were running behind, he was able to help set up the uplighting as we had discussed months ago. His ability to remember and prepare for our wedding was much appreciated. He also had a great voice for announcing things that made people laugh and pay attention, depending on what he was trying to achieve.  Sean - Thank you SO much for delivering such an awesome DJ set and overall AV experience for our perfect day." –Alrick H

"Hiring DJ Leslie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.  She was funny, kind and easy to work with, delivered exactly what we asked for, while still managing to surprise and delight with her musical additions. I enthusiastically recommend hiring her for any event.  Friends and family all commented on what a great job she did - she's a consummate professional and lovely person - we really enjoyed meeting with her and she used her sense of humor to help lighten the mood a bit when my partner and I were stressed about the planning.  She was ready and willing to work through and handle every detail, including the live bagpiper portion of the ceremony. Can't recommend her enough!" –Jameson R

"Sean was our wedding DJ and he was fantastic!  We didn't want a game show host-type DJ that would talk non-stop throughout the reception.  Sean isn't like that at all!  He is super low key and we knew he'd be a great fit for us.  We met with him twice - once to interview, and once a couple weeks before the wedding.  We had some specific songs we wanted, but we trusted Sean to play something good before the ceremony started, which he did.  After the ceremony during dinner, we had told him a few bands we liked, so he played a selection of their songs.  He got the party started after dinner and no one wanted to leave!  We got married on new year's eve, so Sean  took charge of the countdown to midnight.  Sean also took care of our officiant's mic, the mics for the speeches, etc.  We didn't have to worry about a thing, and there weren't any awkward moments of feedback/screeching on the mics.  We didn't feel the need for a ton of fancy lighting, but Sean brought a few and I think it enhanced the feel when everyone was dancing.  We highly recommend Sean!" –Elly E

"WOW. DJ Leslie absolutely killed it at our wedding!! The sound system throughout the ceremony, drinks on the patio, and reception was top notch with tasteful and fun uplighting. She read the room perfectly while simultaneously hitting it with our musical taste. We met with her once and she just "got it" from that one meeting exactly what kind of feel and experience we were going for. We are seriously blown away. We got so many comments from our guests saying she was the best DJ they'd ever experienced - we are not hyperbolizing! She maintained a great energy throughout the entire evening - pretty sure the dance floor wasn't empty until the party was pushed out for the brides' sendoff. It takes a special kind of DJ to keep almost 100 people still dancing until closing time. THANK YOU LESLIE!!!" –Alyson P
