I’M ALL ABOUT MAKING MY COUPLES FEEL LIKE ROCK STARS AND TRANSFORMING THEIR WEDDING INTO THE EVENT OF THE YEAR.
Hey, I’m Tony Schwartz
You won’t find anyone who loves what they do more than I do. Here’s a bit about me:
My DJ career began at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. I earned my stripes DJing in fraternity basements, at house parties, and in local college bars. It was loud, chaotic, and a total blast.
After graduating, I landed gigs at Seattle nightclubs but soon realized that scene didn’t bring the fulfillment I sought as a DJ. Despite this, my passion for DJing and performing never wavered.
So, while employed in the finance industry during the week, I spent my weekends DJing private events. Among these events, weddings were the ones that truly allowed me to unleash my creativity as an open-format DJ. I became obsessed with mastering ‘The Art of the Wedding MC & DJ’, immersing myself in entertainment planning, design, directing, hosting, and curating the perfect soundtrack for each wedding.
I found my calling, my passion, and the one thing I eagerly anticipated every weekend. I was determined to excel at it.
In early 2009, I received word from the firm I worked for that they were undergoing layoffs, and I was on the list. Faced with an uncertain future and a newfound mortgage, I realized if I was ever to take a risk, this was the time to take one. So I decided to take a chance and to try to establish myself as a full-time, professional event DJ.
It turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
Fast forward to today: I’ve had the privilege of mixing music at weddings and private events up and down the West Coast, including opening for prominent names in the country music industry such as Tim McGraw. From intimate gatherings to entertaining crowds of up to 25,000 people, I’ve honed my craft to deliver unforgettable experiences. In addition, I’ve founded two successful companies in the private events space: PLAY Event Rentals and The Puget Sound Photo Booth Co.
However, my aspirations now extend far beyond the West Coast. I dream of DJing weddings and private events across the country and around the globe. Furthermore, I have a career goal of becoming the official tour DJ for one of my favorite country music artists.
I’m deeply grateful for the blessings and opportunities this career has bestowed upon me. It’s truly an honor to even be considered as your wedding’s Master of Ceremonies & DJ. If my mixes and videos resonate with you, and you’re eager to create magic at the biggest party you’ll ever throw, I’d be thrilled to connect and discuss how we can make your event unforgettable.

Tony was our MC and DJ for our Bellevue wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Planning from Texas, Tony made everything easy – he was flexible, responsive, and incredibly professional. From our first meeting, it was clear he had the experience and passion to deliver an exceptional event. On the day of, his team was on point – ready before anyone else, even with all the extra lighting and sound we requested.
Tony guided us seamlessly through every moment, kept things running on time, and brought the exact energy we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night with guests of all ages. The photo booth and custom monogram were perfect touches. Everything was flawless – thank you, Tony, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Choosing Tony Schwartz was hands down the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. Entertainment sets the tone for how guests experience the celebration, and Tony exceeded every expectation.
I had a very specific vision for each part of the day – ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing – and Tony brought it all to life flawlessly. His unique mash-up style kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and the music flowed perfectly from start to finish. Our guests are still raving that it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding.
Tony was responsive, creative, and an absolute joy to work with. He truly was the backbone of the party, and I wouldn’t even consider hiring anyone else.

While Tony absolutely delivers on great music, his true superpower is flawless event execution. As our MC, DJ, and de facto day-of coordinator, he ran the show seamlessly and created an incredible experience our guests are still raving about.
I trusted Tony with the flow of the reception, and he worked absolute magic—custom music edits, perfect crowd reads, and a packed dance floor all night long. Even our parents and extended family couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was. Our only regret? We wanted more time to dance!

Hire Tony – you won’t regret it! His approach is unlike any other DJ I came across. From start to finish, he was deeply involved in the planning process, helping us create a personalized, detailed timeline that reflected us as a couple and ensured everything ran smoothly.
On the big day, Tony was fantastic. His personality clicked with everyone, his MC skills kept everything on track, and his live music mixing was next-level. The dance floor was packed all night with hit after hit. I’ve been to a lot of weddings, and I’ve never seen a dance floor like ours – it was unforgettable. Every request was met, and every expectation exceeded. Tony is simply the best!
