DJ
Music for all occasions was willing to customize our party. We enjoyed playing games like “Name that Tunes,” as well as, dancing.
Mason
DJ
Deryl was awesome from beginning to end. He was very personable and keen on us having the best time at our wedding. He was able to download and use the music we requested with only minor hiccups. We would definitely recommend him for creating a nice ambience for dinner music and getting the whole party out on the dance floor. We also were adamant about having clean music and he made sure to keep every song clean and family friendly. One thing that could have been nicer was if he played more of the music we had requested previously. Overall though, I’ll give the whole experience a 9/10. More...

Daryl did a great job with the wedding. We couldn't be happier. He was able to read the room and play the right songs at the right time. He stayed engaged with the crowed and got folks to dance. He was very attentive and worked with the photographer and wedding coordinator to ensue a great experience. Everyone there said he did an incredible job. More...

Deryl was amazing. Very responsive, and punctual. Going into the event I wasn’t fully sure what I was looking for. I explained why I was leaning for and Deryl did an amazing job doing what I thought I needed and ended up flipping it around to be more enjoyable to all the guests. Such a fun time. Will be using him again at our next function More...

Music For All Occasions (MFAO) did an EXCELLENT job at our function. They provided great music, and worked with special requests that our participants had.
When working with a diverse audience such as ours, one needs to be versatile and knowledgeable of various music styles, and MFAO was able to please even our pickiest attendees with requests that may have sent the average DJ "running for the hills." MFAO was on-time with set-up as well as breakdown, and provided all of the equipment that was necessary for the production. We only needed to provide electricity, which was comforting since we had enough with which to concern ourselves. We happily give them a 10!

DJ Deryl (Music For All Occasions) was fantastic. We hired Deryl to play music for our fundraising event. There were approximately 150 people of all different age groups at the event.
DJ Deryl read the crowd perfectly, and played music of all different genres to keep everyone entertained throughout the evening. I was approached many times by guests asking me where I found Deryl, and telling me how much they enjoyed the music. The service Deryl provided really made the night and I would hire him again for all future events! -Jarrod W
