"We're so thrilled we chose Drew to DJ our wedding! From start to finish, he was extremely professional, organized, and knew how to read the room. The dance floor was packed all night, exactly as we hoped! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had. Drew seamlessly blended top hits with Persian music and catered to all our guests. We highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for an experienced and talented DJ for their event."

We absolutely loved working with Drew - he nailed the set for our wedding and was completely on point in terms of mixing our music tastes, tracking the vibe over the course of the evening, and brought a killer sound and light setup to boot. We got loads of compliments on the music and the dance floor was constantly packed. And he was responsive and friendly in the lead up to wedding, which we so appreciated. 10/10 would heartily recommend.

One of the best decisions we did for our wedding day was hiring Drew. He is so different from your “typical” wedding DJ. He knows exactly how to read and work any crowd and keeps everyone out of their seats ALL night long. We had the most amazing time thanks to him and we still get positive comments from our guests about Drew’s performance. His communication is amazing and his talent is beyond words. If you’re looking for the best DJ for your event honestly look no further and hire him!!

Drew and the team at Heart Beat Events were the perfect music curators for our wedding this past week. Drew took extra care to get to know both of us and our music stylings well before the day and even sent us sample sets to ensure our day went off perfectly. The pre ceremony music set a great tone  and the dance floor was on fire all night. Couldn’t have asked for a better team. Special shout out for being so accommodating to some schedule changes and additions.

Drew was an incredible DJ and such a great spirit to have at our wedding! He kept the party going all night, there was never a dull moment and the dance floor was always full. He hit every cue we asked for during the ceremony and even had us mic’d so all of our guests could clearly hear our vows, which meant so much to us. Everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish.We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our day so fun and memorable. We cannot recommend Drew enough!

Drew is seriously the best DJ we could have ever asked for. From casual lounge vibes to hype dance beats, he had us covered the whole night long. We're so grateful to work with him and his wife at our big party — they brought an insanely professional setup to bring the ambience to a new level! Don't hesitate booking them for any occasion 👏
