I work with Ashley and all the fog city DJs frequently -- primarily at weddings. They are ALWAYS the DJ we refer to. Ashley and all of her employees are kind, lovely, organized, and great at their job. It makes it 10 times easier to do my job when I know I don't have to worry about a DJ doing set up or making sure to communicate with me about the flow of events.

We had the pleasure of having Cello Joe handle the music for our wedding at Hans Fahden Winery in 2019, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Joe asked for, and listened to, our requests in advance, making our day extra special. He played the cello beautifully during the ceremony, and his original music set a wonderful backdrop for the cocktail hour. But Joe didn't stop there; he also did an excellent job MCing and DJing with a personalized playlist for the reception. His versatility and talent truly shone through, keeping the energy high and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We're so grateful for the incredible job he did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented musician and entertainer for their wedding. Thank you, Cello Joe, for making our day even more memorable!

DJ Barnett Entertainment

5.0

Winters, CA
  • DJ

Troy Barnett, founder of DJ Barnett Entertainment has been entertaining people from coast to coast for over 35 years. In 1988, Troy started playing music for school dances in Northern California at the age of 15, which inspired him to make DJing a career. In 1995, Troy started his first DJ Business "Real Music & Co." in Jacksonville, FL which was huge a success at a very young age. In 2006, Troy left his position as Cruise Director for PBP Cruise Lines and moved back to his hometown in Northern California to be closer to family. With many years as a professional DJ/MC and Wedding DJ he started DJ Barnett Entertainment.

Our experience with Troy began with an initial meeting, which was difficult due to my wife and I's conflicting schedule and far distance from our venue. Troy was extremely flexible and agreed to meet on FaceTime. Once we decided to hire DJ Barnett Entertainment, Troy was extremely responsive over the next couple months. His website was easy to navigate and very detailed, which helped more than we realized when the last minute details of the wedding started to add up. All our requests before the wedding were promptly and thoroughly answered. When wedding day came, Troy was the first outside vendor on site. He was organized and set up with more than enough time to spare, which was important since our wedding was the third of the weekend at our venue. He worked with the venue, our wedding coordinator and other vendors flawlessly. His actual DJ'ing (announcements, mic set-up, music) was also flawless. He had a happy, easy going and positive attitude the entire wedding, which truly made a difference. We had several songs we wanted to be played, which Troy did, but we also allowed him to read the crowd and left a lot of the music choice up to him. Troy made perfect choices that led to a huge 3 hour dance party. Everyone had an amazing time. If we were to do it again, we would not have had Troy do anything differently. He had an amazing attitude throughout the entire process and exceeded all of our expectations!!

Periodically up until our wedding, he would reach out and see if we had any questions or concerns. Before the wedding, he gave us a detailed sheet about what music we wanted played, when to play certain music, and it was very customizable. Would highly recommend him for anyone in NorCal looking for a professional, friendly DJ!

We had a shotgun wedding and inquired about DJ Jo-El last minute and thank God he was available… He went out of his way to make sure we got all the information on the itinerary as well as helped us with our playlist and gave suggestions. His knowledge in Spanish music helped a lot and also being bilingual was a great addition he was able to translate our speeches from English to Spanish and vice versa.

Golden Bell is AWESOME! My partner and I hired them for our wedding at Stern Grove October 15th, 2022. We wanted both the flexibility of choosing our own music as well as the sound of live music, and they are the perfect combination! I was stunned how they listened to our whole playlist and learned the beats and also mixed them to add drums, trumpet and sax! Just WOW. So many of our guests commented on how awesome they were and how much fun they had dancing. We really didn't want all the classic wedding songs, and they honored that, as well as the playlist we gave to them, and put in their own artistic creation to create such a fun dance party! They were also incredibly professional and prompt in communication up to the event. All around excellent!

My wife and I went in search of an incredible wedding band and we found it with Ruby Wedding and Party Band. The whole team, from the lead singers to the sound and light techs, was amazing to work with. Every step of the way they were courteous, on top of the details, and available to hop on a Zoom or respond to an email with our venue and our wedding planner. They took it upon themselves to make sure power and sound were all taken care of *and* they even tried to make sure we had tenting for the outdoor wedding (it wasn't even their job) just to take a load off of our plate. I'd hire this band again and again, and, if they'll do it for our 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary. Thanks!

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include: -He played solo guitar for our ceremony -Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour -Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception -Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw) -DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception - stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception). He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost two years since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

My husband and I have been to wedding with pretty corny djs with an affinity to clear their own dancefloors, which is the exact opposite of what we wanted. Ardi did EVERYTHING right: he understood that he had a strict pool of desired songs; he was flexible and communicative through the craziness of wedding day; he read the room well and kept the energy up for everyone at all time;s; and he played just enough of the best parts of every song.

I would absolutely book him again and would recommend him to any friends in search of a DJ. He was amazing at reading the crowd, always had a smile on his face and many of my friends went out of their way to tell me how much they loved him as well. He’s worth far more than he charges, and made everyone’s night. One of my husband’s and I’s favorite memories of our wedding was dancing the night away. Nobody wanted him to leave! Thanks a million again Matt.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

We contracted with DJ MC Duke (Michael) for two events in April. Each event was about as different from each other as you can get....one being a company appreciation party with only adults and the second being a family festival geared towards kids with 4,000 plus in attendance. Michael was amazing at both. Michael is not just a DJ, we had him MC at both events as well and he did an amazing job at both! Michael created specific material, play lists for each audience and really interacted with the kids at the festival....the kids had a blast. He was entertaining, fun to work with, funny, professional, on time, flexible, and at both venues lived up to our expectations in a HUGE way! I have worked with a lot of DJ's and he is the BEST I have ever worked with all the way around. We will hire him for all of our events from now on.

When you are in that age where all of your friends are getting married you're always looking for ways to make your wedding stand out from the rest. We did our best to implement unique elements into our wedding since we had a small wedding of less than 50. Even though many aspects of our wedding were non-traditional and perhaps more memorable than most, Tyler is single handedly the one element people will remember. From the second he started performing, we were getting compliments left and right. All of the to-be-married couples asked us for his contact and rate because of how impressed they were with his performance. Tyler will be the unique addition to your wedding, his saxophone performance is truly incredible. Tyler also managed to make our small wedding feel big and epic because of how much he was able to rally everyone around the dance floor. Leading up to the wedding, he kept us on track and planned everything so beautifully far in advance as to reduce our anxieties. For all my type A brides out there, he will meet your planning standards without a doubt. If we go back in time with a fraction of the budget, he would be the only service we'd sacrifice everything else for. Thank you Tyler, we now have to throw an anniversary party just to have another reason to work with you!!! -Elle & Jordan

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing.

Popular Demand is very very good at what they do. I worked with them at a wedding last year and they were the life of the party. Great talent, excellent song choices, easy to work with, and very professional. They allowed me to plug in my audio recorder during the ceremony and even monitored levels for me (you guys are the best). If I were getting married, Popular Demand is my number one choice!

Welcome. Kevin DelMastro brings a visual and musical spectacle to lounges, cocktail parties, weddings, romantic dates, and corporate events. Offering jazz, blues, Latin, funk, soul, dance, and instrumentals of pop and rock favorites, Kevin loves entertaining and starting the party with his big sax sound and professional backing tracks. He specializes in giving a unique experience to his clients by catering to their taste and style.

Kevin has been able to play for us on multiple occasions and each time he has knocked it out of the park, he played "Perfect - Ed Sheeran" when we got married at the San Diego Courthouse as a surprise for us. It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it! He is extremely professional and worked with us to make sure that his performance matched our vision. He also played during cocktail hour and did a great job with our guests and playing amazing music!

We worked with DJ JaronB for our October 2023 wedding ceremony and reception. He was great! There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!
