“Everything went great, we are really happy with the
music and you were a wonderful DJ. Yes, there are a lot of newly engaged
couples in our circle and I will be recommending your services to them. The
music was great, I have no complaints, we heard everything we wanted to hear
and nothing we didn't, and you have an amazing talent for co-ordinating with
the MC and everyone else in those unplanned moments that arise. Thank you again
for everything and if I ever again find myself in need of a DJ you will be at
the top of the list.”

“We recently had DJ Sage play our wedding and it is a
pleasure to offer this testimonial. From the early planning stages to the
wedding night itself, DJ Sage was gracious, organized, and professional. Given
all the small details that one worries about when putting together a wedding,
it was a great comfort to Anna and I that we didn't need to worry about our dj!
Perhaps most importantly, DJ Sage played a fantastic set, seamlessly fusing our
song requests with his own impeccable selections. Since the event, we've heard
nothing but positive feedback from our friends, both young and old, with
regards to the music which I believe is high praise indeed. Without hesitation,
I would give him our highest recommendation.”

"DJ Sage" was
originally forwarded to us by another fine couple. Through a couple of
meetings & a handful of emails with some of our requests, his work was
enjoyed by everyone. Not only are his rates great, but he provided awesome
suggestions such a diverse blend of music. The only thing that we regret was
not having to have checked him out at clubs & other events in the past.”
Jennifer & Gary -
Pinnacle Hotel – September 7th, 2014 #JENGAido
We feel incredibly lucky to have had DJ Sage for our
wedding. It was clear from our first meeting that he
wanted this to be our evening; he asked us about songs that we
liked and pretty quickly got a sense of our taste.
He flawlessly incorporated the music we love into the evening and had our
guests up and dancing from the beginning to end. He is professional and
personable and we would not hesitate to recommend him. Many of our guests
and even some of the event staff said he was the best DJ they had ever
heard, and at a busy wedding venue that is a pretty high compliment! He
was so easy to work with and returned our emails promptly with
knowledgeable answers or suggestions. Without a doubt the success of the
evening was largely due to him. Thanks Dale!!
Quinot & Rhonwen –
Vancouver Golf Club – September 13th, 2014
“Thank you a lot for the great music throughout the
night! You really know how to keep the party rolling even for a relatively
small crowd. My guests made very positive comments on the DJ and were
particularly impressed by some top hits and group dancing. I'll definitely call
you again next time I throw a party and refer you to my friends.”

“In our
opinion, DJ Sage is one of the best wedding DJs we have heard at a
wedding. I have recommended to him to
our friends and family. He is very
professional and detailed oriented. DJ
Sage will get back to you quickly if you have any questions or concerns. He was very helpful and gave us a lot of good
suggestions for our wedding. DJ Sage met
and exceeded our expectations. He was
very easy to work with. We planned our
wedding from the US and he made it very stress-free. The song we chose for the mother-son song was
only released to radio and he worked hard to secure a copy for our
wedding. That is superb customer
service!
DJ Sage
is one of the few DJs who still mixes.
Our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed the night. Our 85 year old grandmother, who has NEVER
danced at a wedding, got up and danced!
We have received so many compliments from friends and family about the
music. Thank you for making our night
enjoyable and stress-free!!”
Valeria
& Dave – Living Room – August 16th, 2014
“It was
an amazing day! Everyone enjoyed it very much! Thank you for creating such a
relaxing, fun, and lighthearted environment for the day. Music is so important
for any event, and you nailed it! We love how you remixed the songs together
instead of just playing the original version, and some of the remixes you did
were absolutely dope! We'd have no hesitation to recommend you to anyone!
:)”
Jaret
& Jamie – Furry Creek Golf Course – August 3rd, 2014
“Thank
you so much for being a part of our wedding, we had such a great day! We
received lots of positive feedback about your music choices and how well you
'read the crowd'. You integrated a great mix of old and new music and kept the
party going strong til the end. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful
job, Dale!”
Jason
& Cassandra – Hertiage Hall – August 2nd, 2014
“Thanks
again for being part of our day last Sunday. You did an amazing job with
the music, from the cocktail hour, through dinner, and then of course the dance
party! You read the audience and the mood of the evening to a tee and timed
everything perfectly. Everyone had TONS of fun on the dance floor you got
everyone dancing HARD! We really appreciate that you took the time to consult
with us in such detail before hand and asked all the questions we didn't even
think of. We hope it won't be long till we see you at another event or a
wedding.”
Simone
& Steve – Shaughnessy Restaurant - July 6th, 2014
“A
pleasure to work with from the first email until way after the planned event.
His deejaying abilities far exceed others I have heard/seen and he really knows
what he is doing.
When DJ
Sage is playing the tunes, everyone wants to get up and dance! He knows his
music, he knows his equipment, and I look forward to working with him at my
future events!
Not to
mention that he is easy-going and his pricing is affordable and well worth the
quality experience you will receive.”
Dararius
& Safnaa – Fraser River Fishing Lodge – April 26th, 2014
“We
really enjoyed the party and a big part of that was because of your DJ’ing. We
have quite a diverse group of employees who are different ages and everybody
had a great time and was up and dancing. Thanks for arriving early and being so
organized and your help with setting up the presentations, it was greatly
appreciated.”

“We were
lucky enough to have DJ Sage referred to us for our wedding. He was very
attentive and accommodating during our many pre-event emails and consultation
and played all of the music that we had requested as well as many songs that we
had not even thought of but loved. Almost all of our guests as well as
many of the servers and staff at the venue commented on how much they loved the
music. We would highly recommend DJ Sage for any event and am
looking forward to seeing him again at my wife's company Christmas party.”
Joy &
Christopher – SFU Alumni Diamond Centre – October 18th, 2013
“If you
want good music for any type of event, DJ Sage is definitely the right choice.
For our wedding, DJ Sage was professional from start to end. From our initial
meeting with venue location, song selection, and other audio and visual
requests to the actual wedding day, DJ Sage was most accommodating and easy to
work with. And if you are unsure what type of music will work for your event,
DJ Sage will provide recommendations and suggestions that will work the best
for your event based on his solid experience. Overall, we were extremely
satisfied with DJ Sage’s outstanding services and utmost professionalism.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of
attending two weddings where Dale was the DJ and we were so impressed with him
that we knew we had to book him for our own wedding in August 2013. Hiring him
was one of the easiest decisions we had to make during the whole wedding
process. He made us feel very relaxed during the consultation, listened to what
we wanted and provided great suggestions for our bouquet and garter toss.
Dale did not need a lot of instruction
from us and followed our itinerary effortlessly. Our guests had a blast on the
dance floor and Dale kept the party going until the very last minute!
We couldn’t have been happier with
Dale’s services. He is professional, reliable and skilled at what he does. We
would not hesitate to book him again and have already recommended him to
friends.”
Veronica
& James - Kirin Seafood Restaurant Richmond - August 31st, 2013
“I have
hired Dale many times over the years and he has always been excellent! I
first began working with him when I was the General Manager of the Mountain
Shadow Pub almost 10 years ago. He was our DJ every Friday night and it
was by far our busiest, most energetic, fun night of the week. Dale knew
what our crowd wanted to hear and he kept them happy, dancing and spending
money!
I then
opened my own bar in Kits, Migz BBQ, and brought Dale in for every big
event. He read that crowd perfectly too and kept the party going.
Customers were always so happy to have him there and stayed longer to enjoy the
atmosphere.
When it
came time for me to get married, I had no doubt who to call! My husband
and I really wanted to focus on the party so we hired a live band AND Dale to
DJ. He worked really well with the band and our emcee to make sure the
night went off without a hitch, the sound was clear and there was no dead air.
It was the party of the year! I have recommended Dale many times
both professionally to other bar owners and personally to friends getting
married. I have always gotten great feedback from my recommendations as
well. Dale is professional, can read a crowd well, has a broad music
selection and charges reasonable fees. I will definitely be hiring Dale
to DJ for me again and again!"
Cristina

“We used
DJ Sage for our wedding reception and he was GREAT!! He was very quick at
returning phone calls and emails and had great suggestions making me feel like
I was in great hands at all times. DJ Sage was very accommodating to
our schedule, had an abundance of music choices, was able to read the
guests and adjusted the music choices to accommodate everyone.
He kept the dance floor busy and was able to incorporate any and all requests
that were thrown his way.”
Angeline
& Cameron – Coyote Creek – August 16th, 2013
“We knew
when planning our wedding that music would be extremely important to us. We
wanted to make sure that all of our guests had a good time and stayed to dance
until the very end and having a good DJ that we could trust was key. Dale met
our needs and exceeded our expectations. We have been to many weddings and I
have even helped others plan their weddings and I was impressed by Dale's
professionalism and attention to detail. We sat down with him to go over our
'must play' and 'must not play' lists so that he could get a good idea of our
crowd and their taste and he was great at feeling them out throughout the night
and mixing through the songs to keep the party going. We had so many of our
friends and even older family members come up to us to say what a great time
they were having and how much they enjoyed the music. During the dinner portion
he played classics mixed with R&B and slow old school songs (no elevator
music!) which people enjoyed without being too intrusive and during the dancing
portion he really gauged the crowd to make sure everyone was enjoying the music
and got out onto the dance floor!
Dale was
easy to work with, listened to our needs and asked all the right questions. It
was great being able to trust him in setting the tone for our special day and
we can't thank him enough!”
Will
& Melanie – Fairmount Pacific Rim – June 29th, 2013
"We hired
Dale (DJ Sage) as our wedding DJ on the recommendations of our friends and we
couldn't have been happier with his work. Dale was a professional through the
entire wedding process. He provided us with a number of song options for the
grand entrance and cake cutting that would fit within the general wedding
atmosphere we constructed. We gave very little in the way of guidance regarding
what we wanted played during the evening, giving Dale freedom to play what fit
the night. Our guests were exceptionally impressed with the music during the
night. We were told countless times how great the DJ and music selection was,
which touched from classic tunes to modern, and was inclusive for the various
age groups.
Dale's choice of music kept everyone dancing
late into the night, and he offered to stay for an extra hour over and above
our initial agreement.We would not hesitate to hire Dale again, and will be
recommending him to our own friends. "
Ava and Bryan - Rosewood Hotel Georgia – May 19th, 2013
“As an event coordinator, I have had the pleasure and
displeasure of working with many different DJs in the Vancouver area. Without a
doubt, DJ Sage has been the best DJ in terms of service, cost and coordination.
He is very professional in his approach, and always delivers an entertaining
music set.
I first booked his
services over three years ago, and have continually chosen him first for all my
events, which have ranged in cost from a $2K to $30K. His versatile style and
ability to judge the crowd has always resulted in rave reviews from attendees.
From small to major events, he has always stayed on top of the coordination and
managed to create the perfect playlist for the occasion. He will interact as
much or as little as needed, depending on the event.
He always charges a
fair amount, and there are never any surprising charges on the invoice. The
times that I have had to book other DJs, I have been left disappointed with
their service, fees, or combination of both. I would and do recommend him to
all my contacts, and have already reserved his services for our two events in
the upcoming year.”

“I have
been hiring DJ Sage since 2008 and have enjoyed a wonderful working
relationship throughout that time – and know we will continue do so.
Offstage he exhibits a superb blend of professionalism and amiability and I
really appreciate his quiet, strong energy. Onstage he mixes wickedly and
receives continual walk ups from customers asking him to either turn up the
volume (a very good sign things are going well!) or to compliment him on his
artistry. I have predominantly used him in our student pub but also in
our Great Hall (a much larger venue) to great success. I also love a DJ
who brings all his own gear and I can leave alone to take charge. DJ Sage
(Dale) is reliable and fantastic at short notice. He makes my job easy as
pie!”

“I just
want to say a big THANK YOU for DJing at my wedding. At first, my husband was
hesitant about hiring a DJ and didn't feel it was necessary. I'm not very good
with electronics and it would be difficult to pick music that both of us would
like as he enjoys rock and I like top 40's. I did not want to worry about music
and lighting and etc so I got referred to Dale, who was very professional and
accommadating to my busy schedule. I am so thankful to have found Dale and have
him DJ at my wedding. Everyone was on the dance floor, even the kids were
breakdancing. My husband who doesn't dance was also on the dance floor and at
the end of the evening he said it was a great idea that we had hired a DJ. A
lot of people told me how great the DJ was and they got his contact information
that night. I can't wait to see him again at one of the weddings!”
Sharyn - Rainflower Seafood Restaurant -

“DJ Sage
is one of the most underrated DJ's in Vancouver. In my opinion the best wedding
DJ. I have recommended him to friends and family and when it came to my wedding
it was a no brainer to book Sage. You won't find another wedding DJ that plays
at a club, has his own radio show, puts out mixtapes and DJ's weddings. Sage is
a true music fan you won't find anybody else with the same passion for music
that he has. Sage is definitely Vancouver's best kept secret that everybody
needs to know.”
Jasmine

“Sage did
an amazing job for us on our Wedding day and the days leading up. He was very
easy to communicate with and knew exactly what kind of music we liked after our
initial meeting. We had guests that varied in ages and he was able to cater to
all of them. Highly recommend for future events!”

DJ SAGE
(Dale) Bernice and I never got a chance to thank you at the end of a busy
wedding night and tell you that you did an incredible job. Our crowd,
being in their late twenties and early thirties, really loved your choice in
music and it was pretty evident throughout the night as everyone stayed very
engaged. You did an amazing job of keeping the music very classy
throughout the dinner portion of the evening and then really amping it up
during the dance. Great selection in the Blue LED lights for the dance
floor. You are very responsive to our email questions and gave great
creative insight. We also loved the special first dance song that you
mixed for us as that song will remain original and special to us forever. We
will definitely be recommending you again to any of our other friends that
get married in Vancouver and the surrounding areas and feel free to pass along
my email address if anyone is looking to ask more questions.”

“When
planning for our wedding, my wife and I were determined to make sure it would
be fun for both us and our guests. We knew that for everyone to have an
enjoyable time good music would be the key element. I have to say that
Dale did not disappoint. Right from the beginning he was professional and
cognizant of what we wanted. He provided a private consultation which
gave us a chance to touch base and left us feeling confident that the music for
our night would not be generic but that it would represent us. The night
on a whole was a great success. The music itself was diverse and captured
the mood we were going for right from the cocktails, to the dinner and through
to the dancing. Dale had everyone on the dance floor, young and
old. It provided us, our family, and friends with some great times and
better memories. We have had numerous people tell us that ours was one of
the most fun weddings they had been to and I give a lot of the credit to Dale
for keeping everybody's spirits up.”
Philip

“We had
attended a wedding at the Vancouver law courts where DJ Sage (Dale) had spun -
my wife and I were impressed with everything from the classy cocktail hour, to
the dinner ambience, to the dance party which got going later in the evening.
We booked Dale for our own wedding which we held at the Van Dusen
Visitors centre in July 2012. Dale was very accommodating and
professional throughout the entire process. We had a quick consultation
at his home, where we went over the flow of the evening and the different song
types to be played. The night was a huge success and we are extremely
pleased that we booked DJ Sage.”

"It
is with honor that I write this letter of reference for Mr. Dale Cheyne. We recently celebrated our wedding
reception in New Westminster and had the pleasure of hiring Dale be our DJ for our event. The service
that Dale provided was excellent from start to finish. Dale was very flexible, accommodating, efficient and
very skilled. From our first meeting
with Dale, we were confident in his abilities. Dale was able to
immediately find music (that we only new a couple of words to) and when
asked, was able to offer alternative songs. Planning for a both
a destination wedding and local wedding reception was stressful with
the exception of
the music. Dale was readily accessible,
responded promptly to any questions we had and arrived punctually for the few appointments that we actually needed.
On the day of our
wedding reception, Dale arrived promptly and
began setting up his equipment. Dale was highly skilled and able
to adjust to last minute requests that we made (as bride and
groom). For every request that we made, Dale promptly provided a
positive response.
The service Dale offered
was outstanding and his professional manner
was well received. The music he played for our wedding reception was
thoroughly enjoyed by guests of all ages. He was able to provide a
blend of music to meet the tastes of all our guests. Since our reception,
guests have stated that they had such a great time at the reception
and that it was one of the best dance parties that they had been to.
Dale is a
skilled, professional DJ whose service we would hire without a doubt in
the future! Thank you Dale for helping to create memories of a
lifetime."

“Music is one of the
important elements that goes into making a memorable experience at a wedding or
event and DJ Dale definitely knows how to keep the party going. We
have worked with him on numerous occasions and he is wonderful to work with and
why we recommend him to our clients. He has a great selection of music,
is always on cue and knows how to roll with the punches.”

"DJ Sage was
awesome, really organized, punctual and really made my life easier during
wedding planning craziness - I didn't have to worry about anything with him in
charge of my music, sound and lighting. Price was super reasonable, great
service and my wedding guests partied hard at the Aquarium thanks to him!
I've referred him to many other friends for wedding/Christmas parties,
make sure you book early since he's a busy guy!"
