DJ Steele is one of Tahoe’s premier Wedding DJ’s that consistently receives glowing five-star reviews on WeddingWire, the Knot, and Google. Couples praise his professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to deliver exactly the musical vibe they envision. Many reviewers note how he takes time before the event to understand your tastes — even asking what not to play — and then reads the room expertly, mixing songs seamlessly and keeping the dance floor packed all night. Beyond just playing music, he handles the logistics with care: managing ceremony sound, miking presenters, coordinating announcements, and providing professional level sound and lighting systems. Reviewers also mention his high-energy presence, friendly personality, and willingness to go the extra mile — several guests even paid for extra time because the party was so good. In short, DJ Steele is not only a reliable and flexible professional, but also a true crowd-mover who makes weddings feel fun and unforgettable!

Edgewood Resort Lake Tahoe
My husband and I hired Shawna as a partial planner for our wedding at Edgewood Resort, and she was truly a superhero! Shawna knows Edgewood inside and out, which made such a difference throughout the entire planning process. She helped us bring together all the final details leading up to the big day and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. From the planning stages to the rehearsal to the wedding day itself, Shawna went above and beyond to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for us. On the day of the wedding, I wasn’t feeling well, and Shawna didn’t miss a beat—she ran to my hotel room to grab my medicine and noticed when I hadn’t eaten dinner. She made sure food and ginger ale were waiting for me in our room that night. Her attention to detail, kindness, and calm presence made all the difference. I can’t imagine our day without her and would recommend Shawna to anyone looking for a planner who truly cares and delivers in every way.

Shawna and her staff are absolutely amazing! She helped us plan our dream wedding at Valhalla in August 2024 and we had the most beautiful day! Shawna was very organized and helpful throughout the planning process and was always quick to respond. We planned our wedding from out of state so she was very helpful in picking up various items and dropping them off on her way in and out of South Lake Tahoe during our wedding week. We were extremely impressed with all of her vendor recommendations and her bartenders and staff were equally impressive. Our wedding was completely stress free and she kept everything on time and organized. We would highly recommend Shawna if you are getting married in the Reno-Tahoe area! We really got to know her well and will certain miss chatting and catching up every month.

I've taken way too long to write this because we are in married bliss :).... THANK YOU SHAWNA for everything you did to make our day magical and one to never forget! I am sure many read about the tragic events that happened on the lake on 6/21/25, that was our wedding day. The day was so unexpected and unsure, however, after the insane storms that rolled through... Shawna and her assistant made the wedding of my dreams come true. They decided to postpone the ceremony by 30 min, the sky cleared, and it was like nothing ever happened. They put together the most beautiful ceremony and reception, making sure my husband and I were fed and happy :). We had met Shawna years before, but instantly knew she was the one to coordinate this day when she moved to the area and established her business. Daydream events is extremely responsive, can adapt to the needs of the couple, and will make your wedding daydreams come true!!

She was very detailed in her décor and made sure I (the bride) always had what I needed when I needed it. She was prompt to be sure we got some alone time after the wedding ceremony and provided food quickly for us to socialize like we wanted. Her staff was amazing as well, very friendly.

Shawna and Lisa were the absolute BEST!!! Made my day so carefree! If there were any hiccups, I didn’t hear about them, which is exactly how you want to spend your wedding day. I opted to use Daydream Events for Day of Coordinator services & for their Photo Booth. Shawna & Lisa kept the day completely on track, moved flowers for us throughout the ceremony and reception, made sure everything was in place and absolutely perfect, brought me my veil and flowers whenever they were needed for photos, & went above and beyond ensuring we had the drinks we wanted at our table during dinner! They helped arrange our large bridal party at the rehearsal, which was extremely helpful! There are so many things we would have never thought about, but Shawna and Lisa made them happen & went above and beyond to ensure the day went perfectly! So grateful they were there to help with setting up at the beginning of the day and packing up at the end of the night. So many things would have been missed without their help! Cannot recommend Daydream Events enough!!!!!
