My wife and I booked Dale for our wedding. He was amazing fun and made the night extremely enjoyable, playing a wide range of genres everyone could enjoy. He welcomes all requests, even playing baby shark for my 2yr old son. I'd definitely have him back for any future events!
Dale recently DJ'd at our wedding and was AWESOME. He did a brilliant job and had people in the dance floor pretty much all night!! He even got up and joined in the dancing at 1 point which so cool to see. He was happy to take requests during the night aswell as play his own stuff. Finishing the night off with the Goodnight kiwi song was such a hoot. Thanks for doing such a stella job Dale!
Dj Dale was absolutely awesome! He took our song recommendations and was able to put them and some of his own music and his knowledge of how it all works and made it into the best party. He was able to get everyone up dancing which was a big deal!"
Hey Dale Thank you so much it was a pleasure having you play at our wedding, You definitely stole the show. We will be definitely recommending you to others. Thanks again Mrs and Mr Goman
DJ Dale has a huge heart and we were so very grateful that he rearranged his schedule to play for our Christmas party. He bought All the gear including lights and even let us borrow his cordless mic, he was on time, friendly and personable and his music was great. My pet peeve with DJ's is when they turn great songs into all the same doof doof beat - This wasn't the case with DJ Dale and I appreciated him playing a great range of music & taking our requests. Highly recommend him.Thanks again Dale Everyone had a great night.
AMAZING!!! DJ Dale you made our wedding night and we had so much fun!! You played awesome music & are easy going!! Highly recommend to everyone.
Thanks so much Dale who DJ'ed our wedding Saturday 20th of January you were great. Everybody had a blast great music choices & loved how u were so good with everyones requests even let us do a few karaoke songs. Highly recommend.

We are so glad we were able to have DJ Dale for our wedding on New Year's Eve! WOW! The dance floor was NEVER empty, and Dale knew the right song to play. Our guests are still raving! We were so impressed with Dale's skill, talent, professionalism, and his willingness to accommodate the many aspects of our day accommodate the many aspects of our day ceremony, pre-reception, and dance.We have no hesitation in recommending DJ Dale to anyone who needs an amazing DJ for their event.Thank you so much
Absolutely perfect! Party god!!! Thanks so much Dale for your input to our day, everybody loved you and you far exceeded any expectations we had! From your mad freestyle rapping to your epic song selection. You had the whole crowd chanting your name! DJ DALE, DJ DALE, DJ DALE!!!
Dale! I'm sorry this is a couple of months late, I have been meaning to give you a recommendation for the wonderful job you did at mine and Sophie's wedding. We were very impressed and everyone commented on how great the music was. So great that we had no noise complaints at all & everyone had such a good time. Thank you so much for your time
Dale did a great job at our wedding recently. He was a very person to work with, he was so professional and had a great sense of humour.
We were very lucky to snap this guy DJ Dale up for our wedding after almost giving up and searching for the right one. He knows his music to a T & most of all is a social butterfly who just attracts a crowd. We can not thank you enough for your amazing service and taking the time out of your day to spend it with us.
What a guy!!! had the most fantastic evening,his ability to read the crowd is amazing!!! We had a 21st with a range from 9-70 and all who attended wanted to do it all again the next night. thanks so much Dale, wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone that's asking. A genuine good guy and superb DJ.
Such an awesome DJ and can definitely get a crowed up and dancing an if u need a DJ message DJ dale he won't let you down.
So pleased we had Dj Dale for our wedding fantastic day from start to finish if I was to get married again (which i wont be lol) or have any kind of function that I needed music for he will be the man. Huge Thank you Dale for being a part of our big day.
We were fortunate to be able to book DJ Dale for a farewell function last night and having employed his services in the past for my daughters wedding reception I knew the level of professionalism that comes standard from him. Equipment was perfectly suited for the size of the venue and the lighting effects were also well executed. Music base and the ability to "read the crowd" was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending him to perform at any function from a school ball to a high end wedding.
Dale is the best DJ you could ever get! I will gladly have him play for me at my wedding if I get married one day. Ive seen him at the cup and show days and hardly anyone was sitting down. They were too busy dancing to his wonderful music. He even interacts with the crowd. Book him in fast before other people steal him
Highly recommend this service have used this dj for years for my kids bdays and my 21st use to enjoy his ding back at the nightclubs also very friendly great service
We hired DJ Dale for our Wedding in Christchurch and he was great! He played the songs we had requested & had the dance floor pumping all night long! Thanks DJ Dale for playing at our wedding :) Would recommend him for any event!
Dale did such an amazing job for our wedding! everyone enjoyed the range of music he played. He even came back to our after party and made sure that we all had a bloody good night! Setup & played for us in the lounge untill the small hours.Thanks heaps dale, we really much appreciated it.
DJ Dale was my daughters choice at her wedding in 2008. He was not only the DJ, he was the "MC" as well. He invited the guests to speak, and my Mum got up and did a fabulous "Welcome To Our Family" speech. Many many thanks DJ Dale. Many many thanks indeed!
Best DJ you will ever find for your special day and wedding reception. He also Djed my twin sons 21st birthday.A great night had by all. I'd also attended many night clubs & events Dale was djing over the years. Definately one of the absolute best.To anyone celebrating your wedding I highly recommend you snap Dale up. You’d be very lucky to have him. You won’t regret it.
Dj Dale is perfect if u want a dance floor full! Certainly some awesome factor from this Dj. He had the dance floor consistently pumping at our wedding. We were so lucky to & so glad to have him.
We had DJ Dale at our wedding on October 20th. What an amazing night! The dance floor was full all night as Dale had the BEST music pumping! All our guests were raving about how awesome he was and that they had so much fun. Many thanks! I highly recommend DJ Dale!
My wedding was saturday just gone and we had nothing planned for music as we threw our wedding together in 3 months we hadn't really thought about it till monday last week which was not leaving us much time to sort out or even imagine finding a dj that would be available to set up and play some wicked tunes on our special night! Dale played at my sisters wedding last year and I myself did not leave the dance floor until the venue closed from the time he played the 1st song!!! Such great music of all genres so awesome at keeping the crowd amped up and in good spirits he was amazing!! We also hired him to play at my mums birthday and once again i could not leave the dance floor the lighting and the amazing sound set up he had just kept my body dancing till i was out of breath and needed a drink or my legs hurt and i could not stand any longer! Knowing how great he was I crossed my fingers messaged Dale in hopes that he could bring that same energy to our wedding and I just happend to be so lucky he was available and I was 1 very happy lady my wedding came and went and I am still so impressed with the way he works the crowd the lighting and his set up. I will be highly recomending him to anyone who has an event coming up Dale is your man !!!! Thanks again Dale
Hi Dale Just wanted to say a big Thank You for your excellent DJ Services for our wedding. We are absolutely thrilled with the way everything went on our day - It was perfect! Your Music was great. Everyone had a fabulous fun time! I've also had great feedback back from friends & family about yourself So once again Thank You so much - You are the best, being awesome at what you do by giving people the chance to have a great time, and get down & dance the night away ...
Umming and Ahhing about having a DJ? Thinking perhaps a few playlists on your iPhone will do the trick?? Then you've gotta read this... because we, too, were in that same boat. But we've all been at the awkward party where the music is a little off and the dance floor is an empty void. For our wedding, the best day of our lives, there's no way we could risk it. With the wedding budget well and truly spent, we cautiously requested quotes from a number of Christchurch DJs... most of them were for limited number of hours, and for excessive amounts of money. We were losing hope before finding DJ Dale, who came with recommendations from Brides near and far. After getting in touch, we knew we had found the right guy. Dale's pricing is spot on, his skills top notch, and his attitude above and beyond. Living in Brisbane, we didn't meet with Dale until the day before the wedding ... despite this, he was emailing us the week prior offering to help out with any last minute bits and pieces, and offering his professional recommendations for other vendors we required. Dale arrived at our venue the night before to set up, and it was just like catching up with an old mate... you couldn't find someone more personable if you tried. On our perfect wedding day, Dale played from the beginning of the night to the end... (I think he finally crawled out of the venue somewhere around 2.30am!). The dance floor was never (and I mean NEVER) empty, and I believe the most valuable skill of Dale's is his ability to read the crowd... with guests ranging from 3 years old to 85, Dale played something for everyone.. with the perfect mix of requests, and picks from the Bride and Groom. There was just enough soppy love songs, but not enough to bore.. a splash of fun (featuring at least one dance off)... and a tiny bit of rock songs, much to the Groom's delight. Of all the vendors we chose for our wedding, I can honestly say DJ Dale is the one our guests have commented on most. I would happily say he's worth his weight in gold, and recommend him for your special day. You won't regret it. So, seriously, put that iPod away!!
We danced the night away with this wonderful Dj who played some awesome music for us our wedding.He definitely knows how to keep the people on the floor... When the next party comes along we are choosing the Best dam DJ we know.DJ Dale
