Dj Tim was very engaged from the start! We wanted someone that can provide the same vision and same energy! And he did exactly that! Super cool MC host, created a great mix of old school songs and then turning our dance floor into a rave just how wanted! We requested so many different songs along with our saxophonist! DJ Tim was the right choice all the way! Thank you again!

We absolutely loved DJ Slim Tim! He did an incredible job keeping our 300-person wedding energized and the dance floor packed all night. We had two different cultures represented at our wedding, Mexican and Persian, which can be challenging to balance musically, but he did an amazing job reading the crowd and seamlessly switching between different genres. Our guests had such a great time, and we had so many people compliment him afterward! We also added the lighting package to our DJ package, and it truly brought so much more life to the party. Our venue was huge, and the lighting was more than enough to fill the space and create the fun, energetic atmosphere we wanted. He was also incredibly flexible and professional. We reached out only three months before our wedding, and he was still so accommodating and kind throughout the entire process. He even offered to help us put together a wedding timeline since we didn’t have one. Whenever I went quiet for a while, he would check in to make sure we were still on the same page, which I really appreciated. Our reception ended up having quite a bit of unexpected chaos with the schedule changing for reasons completely outside of his control. DJ Slim Tim handled everything so smoothly that our guests couldn’t even tell things weren’t going according to plan. He transitioned between events, announcements, and music seamlessly and kept the reception flowing without making the changes feel disruptive. The sound quality was also fantastic. With 300 guests in a huge venue, the music was loud enough to energize the entire room without being uncomfortably loud. He was funny and kept the energy high with his jokes, but never made himself the center of attention. He truly knew how to read the room and give us the kind of reception we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would absolutely recommend DJ Slim Tim!

My name is DJ Slim Tim! I'm from Sacramento, CA. and I have been a professional DJ for over 5+ years. I've always had a deep understanding of music and making people dance and have great time! I decided to become a professional DJ because on my wedding day, I had a not so great experience to say the least. The DJ did not follow any directions or suggestions I made, they did not play the right songs at the right times, and they did not talk to me prior to the start of the wedding. This infuriated my wife and I. I promised to always leave my clients with a stress free, happy feeling as if it was the best night of their life! That is why I love doing what I do and making my couples feel amazing!

the entire wedding day. Being so organized, this helped with my wedding day anxiety. He kept everyone laughing as an emcee! He kept the energy up while guiding guests and announcing dinner, cake cutting, and calling out of the wedding party. We all thought he was so funny! The lighting setup was absolutely stunning! he had the tube lights to highlight us as a wedding couple which was a nice touch! He also included some uplights that danced with the music and danced with the music. The dancefloor was packed all night!

DJ Slim Tim is the best MC I could've ever asked for! When we talked to him beforehand he was super kind and professional. He had everyone dying with laughter at his jokes and was ...

amazing at hyping everyone up on the dance floor. If you wanted a specific song to be played he would do is best to incorporate it in his set! We had so much fun with him as our DJ/MC for the night we would definitely book again.

Tim really came through for us, really nice guy and great energy. He played amazing songs and was able to play all our requested songs. My wife and family had a great time!

Julian V

Tim did a great job and kept the dance floor packed! Our family and friends had such a great time. Can’t go wrong with Tim as the DJ for your next event!

It was a pleasure working with Tim! He was a great communicator; discussed our reception timeline well in advance and even when I had some last minute changes, he adjusted. However...

, the organization could have been a little better - there was a mixup and the song that was supposed to be played during the father-daughter dance was played during my husband and his mom’s dance. Luckily, Tim thought on his feet and played a nice song for me and my dad. Other than that, I think it was the most I’ve seen anyone dance at a wedding! The energy was amazing. We are very happy we chose this service.

tric and the lighting we paid for was totally worth it. Uplighting was great and worth the money. I wish we did the dancing on clouds but it wasnt in our budget unfortunately. We definitely appreciate their attention to detail and they played the songs we wanted. Shout out to DJ Slim Tim! The best in the business!

ely took the time to prepare beforehand and even played games with the guests. Our guests loved it but no one loved it more than my mom! He listened to her even though she can be quite a handful, but he made her feel heard and listened to her requests no matter how detailed it was. The music and the vibe was better than me and my husband could've ever dreamed of. They will take care of you!

hing. DJ Slim Tim was an amazing Emcee as well. He kept everyone laughing and made announcements loud and clear, especially for some of the elderly crowd who had a hard time hearing. Once the dancing started, the dance floor stayed packed the entire night. They did an amazing job reading the crowd and keeping the energy up. So many of our guests kept saying how fun the music was. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

c play. The dance floor was packed way more than I expected, and even people who never dance were out there. He’s also genuinely funny, which made a big difference. His timing on the mic kept people laughing without overdoing it, and it just made everything feel more relaxed and fun. At one point I looked around and realized pretty much everyone was on the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted but didn’t know if we’d actually get. That was all him. What really stood out was how many guests kept coming up to us saying how good the DJ was. We’re still hearing about it after the wedding. Super easy to work with too and just made the whole night feel stress free. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.
