We had a great experience working with Nathan from Too Hot to Stop! He was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and provided top-quality service throughout the process. Multiple guests commented on the quality DJ service and the vibes on the dance floor were all time! The only area for improvement was flexibility with song selections for our ceremony, as having to source and provide MP3 files for certain songs was a bit challenging. Overall, we were very happy with the service and appreciate the professionalism he brought to our wedding!

I HIGHLY recommend Nathan with Too Hot to Stop DJ! He took our wedding to the next level! Nathan was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. From the moment we reached out, he ...
was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited to make our day perfect. He worked with us to create the perfect playlist, incorporating all our favorite songs while reading the crowd like a pro to keep the dance floor packed all night long.
His energy and professionalism were infectious, and he had everyone—from toddlers to grandparents—dancing and having the time of their lives. Nathan also nailed the timing for our ceremony and special moments, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly, including a pre-recorded message for the groom! Our guests are still raving about the incredible music and beautiful vibe they created, and well as raving about how fun the event was!
Nathan and his crew were incredibly affordable compared to other DJ vendors, and this really was a steal for the price we paid especially for the level of expertise we got for it! Nathan even went above and beyond to help me have a last dance privately with my groom even though it was cutting it close to the time of his departure from the wedding. He did EVERYTHING with grace!
If you want a DJ who cares as much about your big day as you do, Nathan is the one. He truly made our wedding unforgettable, and helped make my lifelong dream and vision come true, and we can’t recommend him enough!

We highly recommend Too Hot To Stop as a DJ for a wedding venue! The owner, Nathan, is very professional, easy to contact, very thorough and organized, and easy to work with. We ...
did not have a wedding planner or coordinator. Because he is so experienced, he had a wedding schedule that guided how the wedding would flow and when different music would be played. Our DJ for the event, David, was so amazing. We got lots of compliments about people enjoying the music throughout the night. David communicated with us throughout the evening and provided us with suggestions about what would work well when we transitioned to a different activity in the evening. He also collaborated wonderfully with our other vendors which helped the evening run incredibly smooth. We deeply appreciated everything Nathan and David provided us for our wedding and cannot thank them enough. You will not be disappointed with their service!

ly what we wanted and making sure every detail was covered before the big day. What really stood out was how he tailored the music for each part of our celebration—the ceremony felt intimate, cocktail hour had the perfect vibe, dinner kept things classy, and the dance floor was absolutely packed all night. His energy was infectious and he read the room like a pro, keeping our guests entertained and on their feet. For the quality and care Nathan brought to our day, the value was unbeatable—we'd recommend Too Hot To Stop to any couple in a heartbeat.

From the very first time we met him, we knew he was going to be ...
our guy. Leading up to the wedding, Nathan communicated so well and made everything incredibly easy. He was always available, responsive, and organized. As the big day got closer, he checked in with us, went over final details, and provided a really helpful guideline for how the night would flow. Even when we made a few changes, he rolled with it effortlessly and made the entire process stress-free.
On the wedding day, Nathan was exceptional. He kept the party going nonstop. Our guests are still talking about how packed the dance floor was all night long. He MC’d the entire evening flawlessly, kept the energy high, and made sure everything flowed perfectly. The vibe was unreal.
We are already looking forward to hiring him for another event because we truly cannot believe how much fun we had — and it was all thanks to Nathan.
We appreciate you so much, Nathan. Thank you for hosting the party of the century!!!

yet his quality and professionalism were unmatched.
Nathan’s energy and enthusiasm carried the night — he kept our guests dancing nonstop and even coordinated seamlessly with our live band to ensure every song transition was smooth and perfectly timed. With his help, even our venue team said it was one of the best weddings they’ve seen at La Fonda!
He’s kind, organized, and truly passionate about what he does. You can tell he’s at the top of his game and genuinely cares about every couple’s experience. We also highly recommend adding the uplighting package — it completely transformed the room and elevated the entire vibe.
If you’re still looking for a DJ — stop now, this is your guy! Nathan is simply the best in the business.

Nathan was great up front about communication and leading up to wedding. He was professional, courteous, and informative.
Day of wedding was a disaster.
1. DJ could not get mic...
rophone working during ceremony.
2. DJ kept asking me questions about the timeline and what I wanted next, even though we had a written timeline prepared for her.
3. No one could hear her all night. No one knew cake cutting happened, no money dance because no one heard it. I stood up there awkwardly for a whole dance and no one knew what she had said and she didn’t repeat it.
4. She wouldn’t play any songs requested unless I requested them. So guests kept coming to me to ask for songs and then I had to go request them.
She was really sweet and nice and did tell me she’d only just started DJing but when you spend this much money, you really hope for quality and experience which was not provided.
Response from Too Hot to Stop DJ & Photo Booth Service
In response: At the end of the night bride came up to my DJ and said good job and gave he...
r a tip.
DJ and officiant did a sound check before the ceremony and mic was working perfectly. Officiant turned off the mic during the ceremony and may have been by accident. Mic worked the whole night while DJ did announcements with NO ISSUES.
Yes my DJ's will check with the bride at times to make sure everything is going on time and if changes need to be made.
As for the money dance she did announce it a few times, but is always hard getting people to participate.
Then bride change her mind and did NOT want the money dance.
In reviewing our timestamp and music log shows every song that the DJ played.
Our #1 rule is play the songs that they picked and DJ did play 80% of their songs.
Our DJ has been with me for 4 years and has done over 120 events, so she is not new at this.
Bride was out on the dance floor about 60% of the night having a good time.
All In all everyone had a great time.

Nathan was not only an amazing DJ but also incredibly professional. He spent a significant amount of time with me beforehand to figure out the best placement for his setup, ensuring everything looked great and worked seamlessly on the day of the event. His attention to detail and dedication to making the party perfect truly stood out.
His ability to read the crowd and keep the momentum going was truly impressive. He seamlessly blended tracks, keeping everyone dancing and having the time of their lives. I received so many compliments from my friends about how great the music was, and it’s all thanks to him!
If you're looking for a talented, professional, and charismatic DJ to elevate your event, look no further than Nathan. I highly recommend him and would love to have him at my future parties!
