"Wow! We could not have asked for a better DJ! I'm still not sure how, but you managed to balance our very eclectic music taste and we LOVED th subtle Disney touches you added. Everyone raved about how great the reception was and we owe that to you! Thank you for being a great MC and shoe game host. That was definitely a highlight!"

"You are a fantastic DJ! Thank you for creating the soundtrack to our wedding and flawlessly blending our music preferences. You really did help create a truly special night that Lauren and I will joyfully remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you for playing the Final Jeopardy tune while my best man was in the bathroom. I will never let him live it down! Thanks again!"

our wedding day music and we never left the dance floor. Very professional, but
also fun and accommodating. Highly recommend!"

"Wow! Thank you so incredibly much for being so awesome, for putting up with my
neurotic tendencies! You totally have gone so above and beyond to make all my wedding
music dreams come true. I appreciate you spending so much time to make this day
perfect, especially during one of the busiest seasons of the year. Thank you!"

"Andrew
DJ'd my wedding at The Red Horse Barn this summer and went above and beyond. My
wife and I live in a different state so he made an effort to meet with us
virtually to get to know us and get a feel for our music tastes ahead of time.
The music throughout the entire wedding was perfect, and the reception was next
level. My wife and I had the time of our lives dancing the night away and all
of our guests had a blast as well."
11.4.2021 AJ M., via Yelp!
"We
can’t thank you enough for your support and flexibility as we navigated wedding
planning while Jesse went through cancer treatment. Thank you for helping make
our dream wedding come to life."
6.18.2021 Jessie A. via Card
"Dannyel and I
wanted to say thank you again so much for being a part of our special day…You
completely nailed our wedding music from beginning to end and we got some many
compliments on the variety of music you were able to incorporate! It truly was
the perfect day and the perfect celebration!
"

"Andrew
was great to work with. He made sure my children were up dancing the whole
wedding. All the guests loved the music he played."
7.23.2021 Molly W., via Wedding Wire
"...we had to postpone our October wedding till May and
Andrew was very understanding...On our wedding day, he absolutely killed it! He kept things moving, read
the crowd really well when he had to choose what songs to play, and super
approachable. It's your wedding and he is there to do whatever he can to
make sure it's a special day. We had a lot of compliments from our guests
(even my mother who is super picky about everything). If you're on the hunt for a DJ who makes things less stressful for your
special day and keep things moving, you will not be disappointed with DJ
Andrew Yates!"
6.11.2021 Steven J., via YELP!
"I was a little nervous approaching our wedding because we
hadn't talked to DJ Yates on the phone or had an in-depth conversation with him
about what we were looking for. We did fill out the questionnaire that he had
sent us prior though, which was very detailed. On the day of the wedding,
everything. went. GREAT. Walking down the aisle, the music was crystal clear
and it was like a movie. He did ready to go and did AWESOME with each song for
the recessional, for the bridal party entrance (we had chosen a different song
PER couple that entered, and changed them repeatedly before the wedding
started) and DJ Yates was a trouper and just went with it and got all the songs
perfectly. Everyone loved the music, especially us. He got the exact vibe we
were going for. My family doesn't dance, but he got everyone moving, even my
dad who has never ever danced before! We even spent some time chatting with him
after the wedding when he was packing up and a tear came down his cheek as he
talked about all the weddings he's done. We also got to meet his dad who helps
him at every wedding, Poppa Yates! We loved working with him!
"

"DJ Andrew was amazing!!! We had the best wedding ever.
Our dance floor was full all night! I had a few people after my wedding tell me
how amazing our DJ was! I have his info saved for any other occasion, hands down
the best!
"
10.7.2020 Amanda M., via YELP!
"Very
professional and cares about what he does. My husband and I loved how easy it
was and trusted him to do everything we asked. He kept our wedding moving and
kept our guests moving, on the dance floor :) He spoke loud and clear and even
had some funny jokes in there. Thanks Andrew!
"
6.8.2021 Brooke S., via YELP!
"My
husband and I hired Andrew to DJ our wedding on 9/21/19 at the Red Horse Barn
in Huntington Beach. Saying that working with Andrew was easy is an
understatement! I admit that I was nervous about hiring a DJ for my
wedding as I've been to so many weddings & events where the DJ makes themselves
the center of attention and only wants to play the music they want to listen
to. This was definitely not the case with Andrew. From start to
finish-Andrew created an environment that had everybody partying! I sent Andrew
our music for the ceremony and suggestions for the cocktail hour and reception.
My husband and I are both fans of 90's hip hop and I gave Andrew the instruction of playing just that. Andrew
managed to play one hit after another that had everyone saying "Oh man, I
remember that song!" He put me and my husband at ease and handled
everything. I couldn't be happier with our choice to DJ/MC our wedding.
Hire this guy-you won't regret it!"

"My
wife and I recently got married at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington
Beach, CA. DJ Andrew Yates was awesome! He was the life of the party and
we highly recommend him!
"
2.3.2020 Bradley W., via YELP!
"DJ Andrew Yates did such an amazing job at our wedding.
We hired him for our ceremony music and to DJ for our reception. The music was
perfectly on point for the ceremony and he knew exactly what to play during the
reception to get everyone to dance the entire evening. Our wedding was perfect
and he definitely had a part in making it that!"
10.23.2019 | Tiffany S., via YELP!
"DJ Andrew Yates was amazing from start to end. When
picking Andrew for our wedding, he FaceTimed us and spent ample time going over
the details, answering questions and making us feel completely comfortable with
him. On the day of he was professional and made sure any songs we selected were
played. He has an amazing personality and make sure the crowd was having a good
time. At one point almost all of our guests were out dancing having a blast.
You won't be disappointed in choosing him as tour DJ!"
11.10.2019 Elise T., via YELP!
Oh My God! Best DJ EVER! Andrew was a huge part of making our wedding
the best day of our lives! We barely had to tell him what kind of music we like
and he crafted a playlist that fit both our styles perfectly! I'm not much of a
dancer
but when he cranked up the AquaBats, I couldn't help but grab my ankles and do
the skank (if you don't get it, ask Andrew)! It was a perfect day and
Andrew was the perfect DJ for the occassion.
10.17.2019 | Jordon S., via YELP!
"I got married thru AAIE on September
29th. We were extremely glad we choose Andrew Yates to be our
DJ for our special night!! My husband and I FaceTimed with him prior to the
wedding and gave our requests on songs for certain things. Had him
freestyle the rest. I can't even believe how fun my wedding was! The music
choices he picked were top notch! (And spot on to the crowd.) Can we talk about
the lights, they were amazing! My husband is a light fanatic! Andrew is very
talented!!! I would recommend him 100% for any type of event you want!! A BIG THANKS TO YOU ANDREW
FOR MAKING OUR DAY SPECIAL & MEMORABLE!"
10.21.2019 | Victoria B., via YELP!
"Incredible job at our wedding! Thank
you again for such an amazing night! Everyone had a great time and the music
was perfect. Our wedding and reception were perfect!"
10.15.2019 | Susi & Brian K., via EMAIL
LOVED working with Andrew! I’m so glad I found him. He’s easy
to talk to, and I was so excited to see everything come together. I got the top package, which included custom monograms. It looked GREAT on the
dance floor. And we had so much fun out there. And Andrew is such a nice guy on
top of that! Great day, highly recommend using him.
"
10.15.2019 | Callan T., via YELP!
Andrew
did an awesome job as the MC and DJ for my wedding, which was an outdoor
ceremony and reception on an overcast rainy day in May! He was prepared
and adjusted to the weather in style! Even though he could not set out
all the lighting he wanted to use due to the weather, we did not notice
anything lacking. The lighting was still cool, the music was awesome and
his upbeat personality, great voice, and adjustments to last minute
announcement requests were perfect! He implemented the songs we wanted
and sent him ahead of time and he also played our guests requests. We
were very pleased and were glad we chose him as our DJ/MC. He was fun,
punctual, thorough and so easy to work with. You will not be disappointed!
Choose Andrew!!! We would choose to use him again!
6.11.2019 | S.W., Tuscon via YELP!
Andrew
is awesome! I've been involved in A LOT of weddings, and when it came to my own
I knew I wanted a DJ who played fun music that got people moving and kept them
moving, and someone who would keep the reception events moving at a good pace.
We hired Andrew based on a fantastic phone interview, and he really delivered
on the day! He's hilarious and personable, quick on his feet (with funny
improved audio cues during speeches!), and played music that was fun, not
over-played, and kept the party going. I can't recommend Andrew enough!
7.1.2019 | Beth M., Los Angeles via YELP!
DJ
Andrew Yates was such a pleasure to work with! He was the MC and DJ for my
wedding at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach, CA and from start to finish
he ensured the music and the energy was on point. I knew from our first
conversation that he is devoted to his craft and making the musical experience
an amazing one. I really appreciated his willingness to use only songs from a
list of artists I provided and also ensured the songs from the "do not
play list" were never played. His easy going and fun, yet professional
demeanor made for a great experience. He is also very organized and ensured all
bases were covered far in advance. Not to mention, his lighting is super cool.
I have since recommended him to my friends with confidence!
9.8.2019 | Amy V., Irvine, Via YELP!
We got married in the beginning of November and decided to go with Andrew for our DJ. Best decision, ever. He went above and beyond our expectations and our wedding guests pretty much danced the entire night. We have had a TON of our guests ask about where we found our DJ and they commented on how amazing of a job he did. We are so thankful for Andrew and for making our night a party to remember! I know I speak for my husband and myself and probably for every other guest at the wedding that we highly recommend Andrew!
2.3.2019 | Taylor E., Carlsbad, via YELP!
DJ Andrew was our first choice for our wedding at Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach. From the minute we talked with him on the phone, he was so outgoing, personable, and enthusiastic. He was so organized and had a sheet to fill out what music you wanted for every part of the night with helpful songs in case you needed some suggestions. His lighting for the dance floor was amazing!! He definitely kept everyone moving on the dance floor. We couldn't be more pleased!
1.13.2019 | Michelle L., Huntington Beach, via YELP!
It was an encouraging sight to see all of our friends and family pay no attention to the rain and continue to party on. We owe a great deal of that to you...Without music the party would have been dead and people would have scampered for shelter. Instead you were a rockstar professional and kept everything grooving and moving.Your preparation for the weather and ability to fight the hurdles you mentioned...means a lot to us. It was great to have a committed DJ like yourself to keep everyone jubilant with good tunes all night long. The music was everything we could have asked for. When we decided to do business together you said your goal was to be in the background and not cause a scene, you did exactly that and handled your craft seamlessly. Great parties require great DJs and you were phenomenal.
10.26.2018 | Jenny & Keil via Email
The whole day was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. Thank you for everything you did, we have received so many compliments on the entire evening, including the great playlist of songs to keep the dancing going. We weren’t concerned that our group wouldn’t dance, but it’s so exciting to hear that we had one of the most energetic dance crowds. Thanks again!
12.10.2018 | Megan & Mike, Via Email
Thank you for being a part of the HDR Annual Celebration, it was a great evening! We enjoyed the music selection you did a great job on pulling the guest to the dance floor as the evening progressed.
9.24.2018 | Marlys, via Email
Andrew did a great job at our wedding. The dance floor was packed and he did a great job with the sound for the ceremony as well. Choose him with confidence.
8.28.2018 | Marcus B., Pittsburgh, CA.via YELP!
Andrew was an awesome DJ for our wedding. We're a young couple and we wanted to do some mash ups for our father daughter and mother son dances. Andrew made our songs for us quickly and they sounded great. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed our DJ. I would highly recommend him for weddings and any other event. Good energy!!
8.12.2018 | Taylor B., La Mirada via YELP!
Andrew did our wedding on July 14th of this year and was amazing. Our sound quality was flawless which I must say was amazing with the little bit of wind blowing on the mics. He also played everything we asked for and kept the same styles of music flowing perfectly. Andrew also set up some new lights he has and it really made the mood of the reception. Let's just say our guests and myself partied our asses off! Definitely recommend!
8.8.2018 | Dan C., Costa Mesa, via YELP!
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! You were so great and our guests still can’t stop talking about how much fun they had. You helped make the night perfect for us and we couldn’t thank you enough!! We will absolutely think of you for any future events we have! We had the best night ever and our friends and family danced as hard as we hoped they would all thanks to you. We hope to see you again in the future!
6.19.2018 | Brook & Dylan via Email
Rick and I are so happy we chose you to D.J. our wedding. I was pretty particular with all my music choices start here, end here, and you did everything perfectly! The entire ceremony and reception went without a hitch. You set the mood, and there was never a down time. I was really touched that you spent time with my niece, showing her the ropes of your job. Thanks again!
6.17.2018 | Nathalie G. Garden Grove, via YELP!
Thank you so much Andrew! Everyone couldn't stop talking about how great our DJ was! it was such a fun time and we loved every minute of it!
6.7.2018 | Lauren & Bradley via Email
Everything was wonderful!!! We got so many compliments about everything including one of our older guest saying she "loved" the music!!! Many blessings to you, your family and your DAD...what a big help he was!!
5.10.2018 | Tracy M., via Email
Everyone and everything was amazing. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Everyone had a blast! Some even saying the best wedding ever! And I agree! Definitely the party I was hoping for. And that's a huge thanks to you! Thank you so much.
4.4.2018 | Leah via Email
From the moment we met Andrew to the end of our wedding he was a perfect fit for our celebration! The weather was less then ideal for our big day but Andrew was able to get all set up with all of his equipment and made our day perfect! We gave Andrew a lot of creative liberty,boy did he deliver. With the rain and cold he had 175 people dancing all night. Literally! No one left early! He had everyone engaged and parting with us until the very last song! It was perfect, more then we could have imagined!
4.4.2018 | Krystin L. Brea, via YELP!
We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all your time and incredible work at Thoro's Holiday event. The lighting was far above our expectations and we were truly impressed! Thank you for being so accomidating and we look forward to working together again soon!
12.11.2017 | Colette & Janze Colette's Catering, via Email
My wife and I got married earlier this month, and having Andrew DJ was the best choice we could have gone with! We met him a little over a year ago and his professionalism and enthusiasm to bring you great music, lighting, mixing was exactly what we were looking for! He goes over in great detail what he can offer, what equipment he has, contingency plans for unseen mishaps, experience, and much more! Our wedding reception was AMAZING! We gave Andrew a list of music we wanted him to play and he made It happen! Our guests hardly had time to sit because they were dancing all night! We will definitely use Andrew for future events and parties! Thank you for making our day memorable!
11.27.2017 | Albert L. Fullerton via YELP!
Andrew was great! We had some options with the venue package we chose and Andrew was the first to reach out and introduce himself to us. When we met with him, we felt really comfortable with him and knew he would be the best choice for our wedding. Andrew stayed in constant communication with us leading up to our wedding day which I truly appreciated. The day of the wedding everything went perfectly and the music was great. We can't thank Andrew enough!
7.29.2017 | Michelle via Wedding Wire
He met with us months before the wedding to discuss our vision and then gave us a list of songs to choose from, but also let us choose every song we wanted to have played. On the day of he took and played every request or guest had. There wasn't one minute at our wedding that someone wasn't on the dance floor. We had so much fun! thank you!!
4.22.2017 | Brittani via Wedding Wire
Thank you for being our DJ at our HDR holiday celebration on Saturday, December 3! We appreciate all of your assistance throughout the evening. Everyone had a great time dancing. Wishing you a fabulous Christmas! Thanks from the Holiday Committee!
12.7.2016 | Debbie via Email
Thank you so much for everything! The day was quite scary at first, I still can’t believe how hard it poured!! The ceremony was amazing and from the photos you would have not a clue that it poured up until ceremony time. I hope all your equipment is okay, and I am glad it all worked out! It was quite cold and I am very glad my family stayed and supported us. Thank you for all your help, it was much appreciated!
3.28.2016 | Damon & Bri via Email
He is amazing to work with! Nicest guy, helpful, etc. He provided some extra lighting for the dance floor. We met up a few times prior to the ceremony to get everything in order. We had 2 songs for our first dance that he mashed up into one and I loved it!!! He was also my Mc for the night. Ceremony, he timed everything perfect. I can't say enough about him! Highly highly recommend him!!!!
2016 | Wedding Wire User 5411822
Andrew was great. We met with him once before the ceremony and sent him a few emails back and forth before as well, and without him our big day would not have been such a blast! We loved that he really listened to what both of us were looking for in wedding music, but also for the reception he got a feel for what all the guests were jamming to and went with that. He was easy to work with, adapted some song choices on the fly, and made the party amazing. Thanks Andrew!
2016 | Wedding Wire, User 5378152
Andrew was the DJ at our wedding at The Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach. He was amazing and completely validated our decision to have him as our DJ. He was truly the party starter and signaled to each of our guests whenever there was a transition...it was so perfect! I would highly recommend Andrew!
8.19.2015 | Kelly C., Huntington Beach, via YELP!
Andrew was the best! We met with him twice before the wedding. He was always very professional and very friendly. He brought in up lights and totally changed our venue (for the better) He played everything we wanted and everything we didn't know we wanted. He got a feel of who we are in just two meetings. Andrew is really great at what he does! The night would not have been the same without him!
2015 | Wedding Wire, User 4957047
Andrew just recently was the DJ for our wedding and he could not have been any better. Not only was he timely and prepared, but he created such a fun atmosphere for us and our guests the whole night. I so appreciated how collected and professional, yet personal he was. He definitely put me at ease about all the music details and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. If anyone is looking for a DJ for their wedding coming up, I would not hesitate at all to hire him.
7.3.2014 | Mindy T. Yorba Linda, via YELP!
My husband hired Andrew to DJ at my surprise 40th birthday party and we was great! Everyone was up dancing from age 6 to 70's. I highly recommend him and will use his services again!
6.29.2014 | Tara M. Newport Beach via YELP!
Thank you for everything! It was absolutely perfect and our guests kept telling us what a great DJ we had! I think you made Brandon’s night by playing the Fresh Prince song and the Austin Powers song!
9.23.2013 | Sarah H., via Email
Thank you for your awesome work at the reception. Music was perfect! We all had a great time... as you can tell :) We definitely hope to work with you or see you again at future events.
9.6.2013 | Yon & Diana via Email
Thank YOU, Andrew! We had a blast and I was even able to notice all of our songs we picked, even though everything was going on. The Arabic music was huge. It thrilled Nesreins' family and really was a unique treat to mine! Thanks again, and we will certainly keep you in mind.
8.23.2013 | Steve via Email
Andrew Yates was the DJ for my daughter's wedding on July 27, 2013. He did an excellent job in handling our outline of events throughout the ceremony and reception. He is professional and truly cares about the bride and groom and their needs during the event. We couldn't be happier with his performance!!
8.3.2013 | Cindi B. Riverside via YELP!
Thanks again for last night, everyone had a great time and you were excellent!
1.5.2013 | Bryan B. California Pizza Kitchen, via Email
We couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out and in our decision to have you be our DJ. We heard nothing but great things about the music all night and you will definitely be the first person we recommend to others looking for DJ's in the future. Thanks again for making the wedding so special and for those recordings!

Andrew provided the music for our wedding and we are so glad that he did! From the start to finish, he worked with us to find the perfect songs tocompliment every moment. The sound quality was beautiful everyone could hear everything played or spoken without being too loud as well! That night I even received MULTIPLE compliments not only on song choices but the superb job that the DJ was doing. Every event in the future we will be using Andrew for our music and sound needs.
