Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 14, 2025•From Williamsburg, VA
Craig/DJ PlayDAT was a big part of making my birthday party a success! He played a great mix of music based on the parameters I gave him, as well as my specific song requests. We didn't end up having many people who wanted to do karaoke, but he accommodated those who did. He also provided lighting, which really helped with the party atmosphere! Craig was friendly and easy to work with, and my guests and I loved him and his music. I would definitely book him again!

DJ PlayDAT did an outstanding job DJing my wedding reception. He was extremely accommodating of our requests (both in the planning stages and during the reception) and was a delight to work with. For context my fiance and I were fairly particular about the music we wanted to play on the dance floor, up to and including an entire playlist that we put together for DJ PlayDAT to mix (with priorities that we assigned individual songs). On top of taking special care to play our favorites, DJ PlayDAT mixed everything together flawlessly and kept the floor extremely lively. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their event.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 29, 2022•From Wakefield, VA
Absolutely fantastic! We hired DJ PlayDat to DJ my daughter's wedding reception. As the schedule shifted.. he rolled right along with it. He played exactly what the Bride and Groom requested for special dances. Then, when the party shifted into high gear everyone who could be on the dance floor was out on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! He was Amazing! We will definitely hire him again.
To those considering him as their DJ... give him your play list... but let HIM read the crowd and do his job. You won't be sorry you did. Everyone is talking about what a fabulous time they had!
We just had the best party EVER!

Craig served as the DJ for our daughter's wedding reception yesterday. We were extremely impressed with the job he did. He was quiet mannered and just kept the music flowing through the dinner and the dancing. He seems like a really nice guy, who behaved in a very professional manner. On top of that, we all came home talking about his mixing/fade talents and his ability to read the crowd and keep it dancing. I can't even describe how amazing the song fades were. You could hardly tell when one song magically changed into another. Awesome job! Very impressed. Would hire him again in a heartbeat! A welcome addition to your event, for sure.

DJ PlayDAT was a great addition to our Greek event! Our event was under an outdoor tent with about 300-350 people. He kept the party upbeat and took many song requests! He was very open to what songs/genres we wanted to play but overall he knew what vibe the event needed. We had a great time with DJ PlayDAT, and I very much recommend hiring him for future events!

DJ PlayDAT went the extra mile for our event. He showed up early, set up, and started playing which was a welcome surprise. He then extended his stay when attendees wanted to dance more. Really great to work with!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 5, 2016•From Mechanicsville, VA
Craig/DJ PlayDAT, exceeded my expectations for the 40th birthday celebration that I hosted. He made it a very special evening. He was very responsive to my questions, arrived early to set up, was very professional & adept at reading the crowd & playing music that suits everyone. The best thing about Craig is his warm & welcoming nature. Our kids & guests were invited to check out Craig’s DJ setup & were able to use the mic & the turntables. I have NEVER seen a DJ do this at other events. Kudos to him for inspiring young people to appreciate music and for making memories that they won’t forget. He is at the top of my list for future events!

My experience with Craig was great! From our very first meeting he listened to my ideas and shared his own, which was very helpful. The day of the reception he arrived in time to discuss last minute changes. During the entire night the music and play selection was point on and the entire crowd was enjoying the night!! I highly recommend Craig for any events you may have coming up!

I am sooo happy that I got Craig aka DJ Play Dat for my wedding on October 6, 2019. He was fantastic!!! He knows how to keep the party going and going! I didn't load him down with a bunch of songs we had to hear, I just told him to do what he does best and play off the crowd! My guests had an awesome time. We danced all night. If you're on the fence about about a DJ for your event, don't even hesitate, hire him now!!! You'll be so happy you did ??!!
