"We had a great experience using DJ Buddy Holly. His set up looks great and proffessional, I was reallly impressed. His attitude is great, he was so nice and he really wanted to make sure that we were happy. He handled all the guest requests really well, and he got the guests involved in dancing. He has a great voice and you can really understand him on the microphone, which is really important for announcements. We had a large mix of people and he was able to make them all dance. = - )"

"We hired DJ Buddy Holly for a school dance. We are a small rural school in the middle of "nowhere." DJ Buddy Holly was delightful, and he arrived early so he could find us. His attitude was one of appreciation for us hiring him! We were so glad to have him drive so far to entertain us. The students just loved him and they said "it was the most fun they have had at a dance for as long as they could remember." They want him for our Prom in May. As an advisor I would hire him again and I would recomend him to any other school rural or urban. We would like to thank DJ Buddy Holly for a very fun evening!

"DJ Buddy Holly did an awesome job at our daughters wedding reception. He had people up all night on the dance floor. Everyone from 80- 5 years old enjoyed the mix DJ Buddy put out.
There was one song they requested not be played that did get played but I'm sure it was a request from individuals at the reception and he just tried to make everyone happy.
He was very accomodating to anything we wanted. He also provided his services at a reasonable rate... we would highly recommend David (DJ Buddy Holly)."

"DJ Buddy Holly was great, but I do have a few things to say about his professional presentation. HE played all the songs we requested, and did his best to get the guests involved. My only "complaint" was that he almost chased us for the $100 balance. My dad was ready to pay when the time came with cash and everything, but I was SO stressed before the ceremony, and he did not let it go. As the bride, I was not in charge of that, and I just wanted to get dressed, but he kept asking... Overall, Everyone loved the music and the DJ, but as the bride not so much."
