that even the rain couldn’t keep our guests away!! Justin our MC really felt like he was just a funny uncle that was at our wedding cracking jokes and Chris our DJ was so good at reading the crowd that he played all the right songs to keep the party going! Trust me this vendor is going to be your best choice! Really made our wedding!!

nres that we wanted to be played and he just went with it and played hit after hit!! Our dance floor was NEVER empty because he kept playing the best of the best. After the wedding we had SO many guests tell us that he was the best wedding DJ that they've ever experienced and we have to agree! Do NOT hesitate to book Crichton and his team - you will have your guests dancing and having a great time all night!! Thank you Crichton for making our wedding day one to remember!

ad ever been too and Crichton and his team are to thank for that!

r (we were in WA State). We were so impressed on our wedding day and how he was able to entertain a bunch of strangers. Not only was he able to keep entertaining our guests with his MCing, but he was also able to transition music so smoothly. We also asked him for suggestions on song selections when we could not make a choice, and he gave us exactly what we needed. We loved the fact he didn’t try hard and knows how to read the crowd. We also want to give props to Angel for being so thorough and communicative with us every step of the way. The team was able to work with our coordinator in a timely manner. They executed perfectly. They are all easy to work with and are willing to work out every little detail with you in order to execute your perfect wedding day. Their payment system was easy and straightforward. Overall, they were SO worth it. I would recommend The Perfect Wedding DJ to anyone and tell them they won’t regret it.

we needed- DJ, MC and an officiant. While my (now) husband was not able to join the initial consultation call with Crichton, I immediately felt confident that they were the vendor to go with-Crichton was super nice, personable, and professional. He asked me questions that made me not feel like just another “number” but a respected client. While he did mention that he personally wasn’t available to officiate & MC for our wedding date, he assured us that we would have an amazing officiant, MC, and of course, DJ. The team at PWDs s was very organized and helped us keep on top of deciding songs for the ceremony and reception. I like that they created a google sheet that outlined everything we needed to think about, months out! Chris, our DJ, was also amazing to work with, and totally understood our vibe and vision for what kind of celebration we wanted to have. While there were changes to our officiant and MC close to the wedding date (1.5 month out,) we trusted the process and the team delivered! We couldn’t have imagined a better person than Kelehua to officiate. We loved that she incorporated Hawaiian and Filipino traditions into our ceremony, which meant so much to us. It was so heartfelt and meaningful, just a great start to the wedding festivities. Our MC, Justin really hyped up our wedding party and ALL the guests. He knows how to MC a party! Honestly, his MC-ing really helped make our wedding a night to remember, and for that we are so thankful. Lastly, we added uplighting through PWD and it was the cherry on top to our wedding at Kualoa Ranch, Moli’i Gardens. We highly recommend adding uplighting, you won’t regret it. We are so happy to have worked with PWD. Thank you so much for helping us bring our wedding vision to a life.

had to postpone the entire thing (until 2022) but Crichton was super flexible and accommodating for us and we are so grateful for it! From the very first consultation call, Gabe and I hit it off with Crichton immediately! He was very personable, friendly, and helpful! Admittedly, we were a bit sad when Crichton himself wasn't available for our rescheduled date two years later but we completely understood. After speaking with his team member Chris who was going to be handling our music for the wedding/reception we felt comfortable with him too and assured that we were in good hands! Looking back, a helpful tip I'd recommend (if you're a bride using them for your wedding) is not to spend too much time thoroughly compiling a song list for the dancing portion of the evening. I think that we might have spent too much time on ours though we probably didn't need to. They played all of our key songs for our program during the ceremony and reception which is the most important thing though a lot of the songs we put on our dancing list did not get played which we were a little bummed about but what was played was totally fine. We didn't get the chance to meet our emcee until the day of the event but he was FANTASTIC! Our guests loved him. He was super funny and friendly. Not to mention he kept our guests entertained the whole night through and his improve jokes were so on point! He could definitely read the crowd and knew that we liked to make jokes so it was a perfect fit! My husband is from Cali and I'm from Hawaii so we had a mix of local people and mainlanders and he entertained them all! We got a TON of compliments about them! You'll definitely want them for your event! People will always remember and talk about how awesome they were!

n I say Crichton and his team were the BACKBONE of our wedding day!!! Crichton has the kind of personality that commands a room while making it so fun! He in an incredible entertainer, and had all the locals as well as the out-of-town visitors roaring!! Planning a wedding or big event can be incredibly stressful. But from the moment we first met with Crichton, we rested easy knowing we, and all of our beloved guests, would be in good hands. With lack of experience, I failed to create a very detailed timeline and account for all the nuances that come with the coordination of a wedding day. But where I lacked, Crichton took initiative and absolutely killed it with his expertise. The value that Crichton and his team brought to our wedding day is priceless and something we are eternally grateful for!!

the process so easy! He even helped guide us in the right direction for other vendors. As we were getting closer to our big day, we reached out to him and asked him to officiate our ceremony. It was perfect!! Thanks again for being such a huge part of our special day!

e is worth it and more!

awesome. He made our ceremony short and sweet, just like we requested and played great music by reading the crowd. It turned out awesome! Highly recommend them!!

ame without him and his team. He was extremely communicative, wanting to ensure that he got to know us and understood our vision and what things were most important to us. He made the ceremony personal to us, comfortable, and a lot of fun. It was like we were standing up at the altar with a long time friend. And as a DJ, he brought the party! Our guests are STILL talking about the personality that he brought to both the ceremony and the reception, the amazing music, the dance floor party and the fun that they had. Crichton is the consummate professional and the best host and his team can do it all. The best decision we made was booking The Perfect Wedding DJs and we'd do it over and over again if we could!

at he was a really genuine, deep, humorous and awesome guy. He truly has great vibes and a depth of character and knowledge. So during the interview we learn that he also officiates weddings! We were happy and intrigued. Fast forward, he officiated our ceremony (beautifully) and also DJ'ed our dance party after the dinner reception (excellently). We recommend Crichton and his team 100%. You will not be disappointed.

lol. (I was dead set on booking him after he threw an epic party at a family member's wedding a few years back.) Fast forward, we had to cancel/reschedule our wedding 3 or 4 times due to COVID. Every new surge, lockdown, and variant was disappointing because it meant another reschedule. Crichton and his team stuck with us, and they were so reassuring throughout. Due to gathering restrictions, our wedding was ultimately 50 guests instead of 250. Nonetheless, there was lots of love and great energy thanks in big part to Chricton/PWDJ. He is so funny, so natural, and has a great "local" vibe that our guests loved. Everyone wants to be friends with him. What I love is that with Crichton it's more like a talented/funny friend or family member is MC-ing your wedding. He has an easy, likable, infectious personality - it's something you can't teach and you won't find it in any other DJ. His humor is clean, but super entertaining and on point. Crichton and his team were also prompt, professional, and expertly set up their equipment at our venue. Crichton will take the time to get to know you as a couple ahead of time, and he'll get a sense of your music vibe by having you fill out an excel-type sheet of what sort of songs you want (and don't want). We basically told him, "late 90s / early 2000s bangers" and left the rest to him. It wasn't the wedding we envisioned (due to COVID), but it was incredibly fun and memorable thanks to PWDJ. Can't thank you enough, Crichton!

music to our tastes - to the professionalism of being on time and ready for every moment. He is a very heartfelt person and takes care in making it the best day of your life. I would say he is much more of a friend then a vendor and we can't say enough of how he and his team are the best!!!

ontact us prior and get a good understanding of what we wanted for our wedding day. He had emailed us prior to have us answer questions about our partners and in all the planning of a destination wedding, we didn't have a chance to write any vows. He ended up reading those answers at the ceremony and I am so grateful because I was just going to wing it. He was so accommodating and solved problems I didn't even think of. Siyisgaas for making our day so special. Highly recommend.

-ceremony events in various areas of the venue that needed sound. We also had professional musicians in the family who had recorded music to be played during the ceremony. Everything was set up perfectly and the sound quality was top notch. Crichton knows how to walk the fine line between announcing and keeping everyone in the party involved, and not letting the day become too focussed on the MC. We have had multiple friends comment after the wedding as to how good our DJ's music choice was "not one song was skippable." He even went above and beyond before the ceremony and moved some items that had been left from underneath the tent out of the way of a passing rain shower. Of all the wedding vendors who helped make the day happen, Crichton was the most personal, and came over to check in and see how our day was going (great of course much due to his team). We would recommend the Perfect Wedding DJ's in a heartbeat.

me highly recommended by our friends whose wedding he DJed a few years beforehand. They even joked that part of the reason they were excited about our wedding was to see him again. Now that the wedding is over, we understand all the hype. Crichton met with us several times before the wedding to talk, put our minds at ease, and get a better feel for who we were and what we wanted from our wedding. It paid off. He was a great emcee for the program, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and had the feel we wanted. Then, when the program ended and the dancefloor opened up, he made sure it was at capacity and full energy until the venue told us to leave. The name says everything: We had the Perfect Wedding DJ.

dancing program. I would highly recommend him, and our guests loved the music played throughout our wedding day. Unfortunately, we had to stop at the designated cutoff time, and they did not want to stop dancing! He absolutely made our wedding day so magical and unforgettable!

e to ensure the PERFECT performance and the most memorable time colored in music, great communication dynamics (improv comedic laughters and cheers), capable of finding just the right music for your timeless event, time execution and management of all scheduled events within the ceremony, they’re all very personable and genuinely friendly, extremely engaging communication with the guests to include a detailed briefing of location amenities, also a very cool promoter for other local vendors who may be performing at your event. Bottom line up front!! BOOK NOW, because as the mandates of mask wearing are about to lift more events are to be scheduled and you don’t want to delay your event planning with this outstanding MC and DJ performance for your lifetime memorable event.

ever. It felt like family & it made it so special for us to celebrate a beautiful day with an amazing person. We are forever thankful for him & I will always refer him. Not only as a officiant but a MC and dj. We love you Creighton! You are part of the family now.

e being professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Perfect Wedding Dj’s to anyone planning an event!

ire night. Talk about a jack of all trades! On our initial phone call with Crichton I found out that he speaks Spanish, and I told him that my family is from Mexico and I would love if he could incorporate some Spanish into the ceremony. Crichton blew us all away. During our ceremony, he spoke English, Spanish, and Hawaiian. All of my family that spoke Spanish were in tears listening to his words and felt so honored to be included. It meant so much to me and my entire family, and I think that probably every single one of my family members went up to Crichton afterwards to let him know how amazing he did. I truly could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. In terms of the emcee/Djing, Crichton and his team crushed it!! He made sure that the entire night went smoothly, and had everyone rolling with laughter the whole way through. Crichton stuck with me and my husband through all of our crazy dance ideas, including our last minute Savage Dance that went over so well! The music he played was so spot on, and you had to fight for room on the dance floor with all the jams he was playing! I truly could not recommend Crichton and The Perfect Wedding DJs enough. One of the best choices we made for our wedding. We love you guys!! Mucho mahalo y muchisimas gracias!!

ped in and decided to graciously help us out. Then, 1 month before our wedding the Honolulu mayor came out with the new gathering restrictions of maximum 25 outdoors. We were heartbroken. We told Crichton that we wouldn't need dance music because no one would likely dance, but he assured us that he could get a party started. OMG, he was right! The music the entire night was spot on. He played everything we wanted, the timing of the music was perfect, and he was able to get our families dancing like nobody was watching! I like never see my family members dance, but he was able to create such a fun and positive vibe that everyone felt comfortable dancing. Every one of our guests said that our DJ/emcee was really great and entertaining. Besides the magic he was able to create on our wedding night, I loved how kind, personable, and professional he was. He met with us on several phone calls just to make sure we were on the same page. Even if the phone calls were short, I appreciate the effort he made to make sure he understood what we wanted. Crichton is the absolute best. Great guy, entertaining, and the best DJ and emcee. Thank you so much Crichton for making our night magical. You really are the best!

him, we felt like we had known him for years. He really made all our guests feel welcomed and went above and beyond for my in-laws by speaking to them in Spanish! The music he chose from of our selection list was on point, he got everyone on the dance floor, and he even brought some amazing lighting to add to the beautiful night! I would recommend that anyone getting married on Oahu get DJ/MC Crichton, you will not be disappointed!

s roles from planning to execution) and they were all such great people and so professional and easy to work with. They made the entire planning process so enjoyable and they made the day of the wedding so much fun! I won't go into the entirety of my wedding planning experience but I will happily say that The Perfect Wedding DJ team was the ONLY vendor I worked with that was just FLAWLESS. The entire team was so communicative and always available to reach out to. I loved how supportive they were and that they truly cared about their role in making our wedding day.. perfect! It meant a lot to me that the Perfect Wedding DJ team was always following up with me and if they weren't getting the information they needed, the planning team didn't just wait around and leave it for another day or say, "Oh well someone will tell us later".... they always made sure to stay updated and got things done in a fast manner!! I don't know how many times I can repeat that they were absolutely professional and amazing to work--- if you're thinking about having them at your wedding/event, just do it! You def won't regret it.

anish since most of family members first language is Spanish this was such a blessing he came when we were almost giving up on finding someone. We set up a phone call so we could get to know each other better and see if it was a good fit ( and how good his Spanish was) & it truly was exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding he preformed the ceremony marvelously. Many of our family members were shocked and in disbelief of how well he had spoken through out the ceremony. Thank you so much Crichton for going above and beyond for us.

re so impressed and comfortable working with Crichton that we actually changed our wedding date to accommodate his schedule and he took on additional roles of emcee and wedding officiant. Looking back, if we did not change our wedding date to the start of February 2020, we may have been in the unfortunate position of looking at postponing our wedding with the world in isolation.

rything about working with Crichton was easy and fun. They are truly professionals and know the details it takes to be a part of a wedding. It’s also a huge benefit that they have so much experience here in Hawaii. They know lots about local venues/layouts and they have work with a lot of other vendors I ended up hiring. Everything was smooth sailing from beginning to end and some of my favorite highlights of my wedding is dancing the night away. And that’s all thanks to Crichton ❤️

hat a great job he did (from introducing the guests and events to getting the dance floor rocking). When we jumped on an initial call with Crichton we knew he’d be the perfect DJ and MC. We ultimately had him officiate our ceremony as well. He has a fun personality, calm demeanor and is an attentive listener—just an overall cool guy you’d want guiding your guests along your big day. He did every role flawlessly, even learning some Chinese phrases to the pleasant surprise of our Mandarin-speaking guests. Not only does my husband and I highly recommend him, but hope we can throw another party and work with him again!

to walk us through the reception programming and make sure we were on the same page. He shared valuable insights and suggestions from his experiences doing other events. His experience really showed while he described what he thought would make a seamless program. Crichton provided an incredibly helpful framework that my groom and I could then tailor to our personal preference. He also went out of his way to meet our bridal party and rehearse, once again making the day of much easier. The reception itself was THE BOMB. Our guests raved about how much fun they had and truly enjoyed themselves. We are still hearing back from guests months after the event. Crichton made the night so simple for my groom and I that we could relax and go with the program we had set. Crichton took care of making sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone had a great time. Would recommend 100% . Thank you to Crichton and his team!

n’t thank Crichton enough for helping us shape our day into exactly what we wanted. He was pleasure to work with and was able to take elevate our ideas to the next level. Crichton was able to read the crowd and perfect the music selection so that the dance floor was full the entire night. What sets him apart were his MC skills - which kept everyone engaged throughout dinner, speeches, and dancing. His professionalism and leadership in helping to create a memorable day for our family and friends will stick with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you for being part of our day and giving us memories to last a lifetime!

, when you're planning a wedding, is huge! I felt like they really took the time to get to know our style, taste in music, and all the details that made our wedding program and playlist so personal. They played our must haves of course, but were so good at going off of the crowd - The dance floor was never empty! So many people told us that it was the best music they'd ever heard at a wedding and we absolutely owe that to the team at Perfect Wedding DJ's!

e goes. As soon as we met I knew he got the vibe we were going for and man were we right! He got what we were going for right away and assured us our reception was in safe hands. All of our guests raved about him - seriously every single one! He emceed with grace and shared historical background about our venue and the island which was appreciated by all. He read the dance floor perfectly and knew EXACTLY what everyone wanted to hear - including a Beyonce medley that brought the house down. He also made it super easy to end our formal dances gracefully - not an awkward moment in sight! I'm also compelled to mention that he was also incredibly kind and shared his giant fan with me as I may have been overheating just a tiny bit :) talk about above and beyond. I wish we had parties all the time so we could hire him all the time! Thanks, Crichton!

know how we met and really felt like he wanted to get to know us. We met him in person for the first time right before the introduction and it really felt like we've been friends with him for a long time. He got everyone up and dancing all night long. The only complaint I have is that we wish we could've danced all night long but venue had a 10pm curfew. Crichton is amazing! You need to have him for your wedding! Thank you Crichton and hope to see you the next time we're on the island!

eception was and that couldn't have happened without this BOMB wedding DJ team!! Thank you again for making our special day amazing and memorable. <3

ay we would 100% choose Crichton again. He was one of the few vendors that exceeded my already high expectations. From our initial conversation with Crichton, I knew he would be fun and we loved that he was local too. He was one of our most responsive vendors (ideal for the Type As out there) and he has a total rockstar of an Executive Assistant, named Sara. She coordinated all of the contracts and payment deadlines and just checked in with us in the months leading up to our event. She's a total professional, who pays attention to details. We gave her our list of 15 totally obscure (yet meaningful) songs we wanted to hear during the dinner service THE NIGHT BEFORE our wedding. While we sat there with our friends and family, we heard those obscure songs playing softly in the background. Crichton also served as our MC flawlessly. So smooth and confident and hilarious. He's a consummate professional, yet exudes the chill island vibe you want at your wedding. His Assistant the night of our wedding was Russell. Oh Russell, what a gem. He's a combo of Hype Man and that one guy that can get everyone to dance at a wedding (including my dad who's never danced in his life!). Not only did the two of them put on an entertaining show under their DJ tent, they hit the dance floor! They were dancing with aunties, leading us in the Cupid Shuffle...my own girlfriends kept asking them to dance with them. They are so charismatic, so fun and so professional. We were worried no one would dance at our reception. Crichton, and his The Perfect Wedding DJ's team, kept the reception flow running smoothly and on time, and they got our friends and family out of their seats and up dancing. We are so lucky to have found them and grateful to them for making our special day, a lot more special. Mahalo nui!

jams were so good...and most of all The Perfect Wedding DJs made our day extremely amazing and LITTY haha. We couldn't have been happier with Crichton and his brother. 10/10 recommend!!! On a serious note, I think I especially appreciated how accommodating Crighton was in making sure that all of the guests at our party felt comfortable. So comfortable that my whole family thinks their friends with him hahaha.

t Wedding DJs more highly. From the first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and interested in getting to know us. He’s a chill guy, friendly as anyone local would be, and he is a great listener. That skill is great when you’re first meeting and he’s getting a sense of your style, but it’s also key to his being a great DJ. On the day of the wedding, he was right there with the party, keeping things moving, taking requests appropriately, and playing music that kept folks coming back to the dance floor for more. Everyone walked out of the reception talking about how great the DJ was. We gave Crichton some guidance about our style - the physical aesthetic and the music choices, and we sent him some sample songs on a shared Google spreadsheet. He took it from there and got us everything we wanted. He even helped us find a live musician for the ceremony! Look, if our experience with The Perfect Wedding DJs was average, I probably wouldn’t have left a review. The fact is - take a meeting with Crichton if you can, and if you get along with him, go for it. You won’t be sorry.

e we had been looking for. Then, when meeting with him in person, we had the best time getting to know each other, and jammin' out sampling some of the music we had chosen for our ceremony and reception. It is clear that he genuinely loves what he does, and his radiating positivity energy is so infectious. DJ Crichton and his team perfectly executed everything we had discussed, and also went above and beyond, everything from being set up and ready in both ceremony and reception locations with time to spare, equipment and lights were fantastic, the enthusiastic emcee moments were excellent and on point (I thought his joke was hilarious), and I haven't even mentioned the dj-ing yet! The most important thing for my wife and me was that we have a DJ that can truly read the crowd's energy, play our playlist requests, flawlessly spin/cut/fade-in tracks etc, and avoid our do-not-play list.....AND DJ CRICHTON BEYOND NAILED IT!!! From the exact second the dance floor was open for dancing, it was entirely full with people dancing their behinds off and singing their hearts out throughout the night, down to the absolute last note to come through the speakers at the end of the night! We had (and still have!!) the biggest smiles on our happy faces, seeing our guests, of all ages and walks of life, dancing like there was no tomorrow, and we owe that to the perfect party/celebration tone set by DJ Crichton and his team. We sincerely recommend DJ Crichton for any event, and we cannot thank him enough for helping make our epic special day an absolute dream come true!!

't get to meet the DJ (I think his name was Kalei) on the wedding day unfortunately because we were so busy, but he did a fantastic job. The processional songs were timed perfectly and faded in and out right on the dot. Also, all of our pre and post ceremony songs were played and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Sometimes you don't realize how important the small details are with music until the day of comes. To put the icing on the cake, these guys are very affordable too! We wish we would have booked this company for our wedding reception as well because we don't have the same positive feedback for the company that did our reception. Highly recommended!

music was superb, and the DJ/MC team overcame obstacles of a light rain to make the semi-outdoor reception phenomenal. From the beginning, Sara was exceptionally responsive to our wedding planning questions and concerns. Crichton made the ceremonial song planning process a breeze and worked to make our song dream list reality. Chris kept the tunes flowing flawlessly as DJ on the day-of, and Bronson helped keep the evening lively as MC. Outstanding team, outstanding service!

someone due to the fact that it was going to be cheaper. My husband and I ultimately decided that we truly didn't want to or couldn't cut corners on such a big day in our lives. So we started looking and looking and when I came across the reviews for this company I was sold! And when I told our wedding coordinator that I wanted to inquire with this company she told me that this was a good one! (She's been in the business for a long time so she knew they were awesome ). We had inquired with them and i want to say within a day Crichton had reached out to me with all the information I needed! We were sold and we set up an appointment to meet him with our wedding coordinated present at that meeting. Before we met with them my husband and I were still scared, like maybe this wasn't going to work out or maybe something wouldn't be right. But after that very first meeting with Crichton and Taryn we walked away so pumped and excited for our wedding! We knew that everything was going to be perfect! We used The Perfect Wedding DJs for DJ/emcee. And let me tell you our emcee at our wedding kept the vibes good and everyone was laughing and having a good time the entire time. There was never any dead space. They provided beautiful uplighting that definitely added something to our ballroom! I would 110% recommend Crichton's company to anyone and everyone who asks who we used for our wedding!! They truly made it a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives!!
