Taj Panganiban

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400

Hi! I’m Taj Panganiban, a DJ in the San Francisco Bay and surrounding areas. I’ve been DJing for 20 years total and have an understanding how to work with other professionals, make sure client’s have a good time and play the music people want to hear for the vibe that exists.

Taj was our DJ for our big day and I can’t thank him enough for his skills at mastering the perfect blend of music to cater to everyone of every age group in the crowd. How he managed to do it all and still keep things fun, hype, clean and respectful at the same time is amazing, especially this day and age where most DJs will compromise the clean edited things, he found a way to do it all and we so appreciated that. Our family and friends never wanted to stop dancing, we literally had to shut it down or the night would’ve never ended. If you’re looking for the best for your big day, don’t even think twice, just book him. Thanks so much again Taj!

We found Jackie after a long search for a vocalist with a distinct sound, and a beautiful voice. Jackie had both and more. When she sings, she lights up the room in the softest way possible. She was super flexible and accommodating and even did a virtual set for us so we could get a true sense of her performance. On our wedding date she stayed a true professional and delivered amazing performances.

The day we were scheduled to meet DJ Christie to interview her, it was just one of those days where I was feeling a step behind. Stuck in traffic, couldn't find parking, now late to our first meeting, I was ready to give up and tell Christie and my now husband to go on without me. Without skipping a beat, Christie suggested I find a place to pull over and the two would join me in my car to have our meeting - she wasn't phased one bit! She was chipper as can be and pivoted so easily to accommodate us. I knew right then that we had to bring her on as our wedding DJ! We had a lot of stereotypical things wedding DJs do that we didn't want, and she understood and honored that. We danced the night away! All of our guests raved at how much fun they had dancing to her mix of songs and how much fun she seemed to be having as well. We highly recommend the Heart of Gold DJs, especially DJ Christie!

DJ Wayne Noel
San Francisco, CA
  • DJ

I started DJ’ing as a kid with two boom boxes, cassette mixtapes, and a deep love for music. I got into Turntablism and DJ’ing as an art form after completing a term in the Air Force. That's when I expanded my love for music and worked my way through college DJ’ing and doing voiceover. At Cal State I earned a B.A. in Film & Audio Production, and I then went on to become a certified Audio Engineer. When it comes to DJing for private events/venues like club rentals, weddings, corporate parties etc, I love my clients, and thrive on making meaningful connections.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cello Joe was great to work with throughout the entire process--from coordinating prior to the event to setting up and performing on the day. I originally reached out to Cello Joe to have him entertain my party with his amazing cello skills, but ended up hiring him to DJ due to my restricted budget. When my schedule went a little awry, he graciously kept the party going past our agreed-upon time and even busted out his cello to elevate the atmosphere while asking nothing in return. When you hire Cello Joe, you not only get a professional entertainer, you also get a solid event-coordinating teammate. Do not hesitate to hire Cello Joe for your event.

This man is an absolute legend! We had so much fun at our wedding and got ENDLESS compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was. A DJ can make or break your wedding and not something you should skimp out on. We attended 9 weddings before ours, and a common theme we noticed is how big of a difference it makes when you hire a DJ who interacts with the crowd and is not afraid to step out of the box of original wedding music, and entertain the crowd. DJ Milk is that guy!!! From the moment we found and interacted through calls with him we knew he would deliver and provide a unique experience for our wedding day. DJ Milk had a detailed process to understand the type of music we wanted to hear, ensuring the dancefloor was packed the whole night. He executed on all levels! He started the night by warming up the dancefloor with some classics while mixing in the headbanging EDM and making the boomers and other guests go wild on the dance floor. He also let us spray the CO2 machine, and I think we ran it completely out. He did a fantastic job as the evening “Emcee” running the speeches, dances, coordinating our anniversary dance, and more! It felt like we were at the best dance party of our lives, and we were sad to see the night come to an end. I even saw my mother-in-law head banging, which is a sight I never thought I would see! The compliments on the music, night, and vibe from the wedding never ended weeks after our wedding. We even had the director of operations at the wedding venue come up from his office and enjoy the music. He said, “This is the best wedding music we’ve had at this venue”. For your wedding or any event, look no further. DJ MILK MAJER IS THE GUY!!!

The Cool Rulers

Brooklyn, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

Meet The Cool Rulers! A youthful, professional and world class dance band collective from Brooklyn, NY specializing in Motown, soul, funk, disco and more. Our videos and reviews speak for themselves. Made up of real friends with real musical chemistry and a true love and passion for the songs that we play, The Cool Rulers cater to clients seeking an alternative to your typical flashy top 40 event bands.

We could not recommend The Cool Rulers more highly!! They played our friends’ wedding, and as soon as we heard them, we knew they were the only choice for ours. Months later, our guests are still talking about how great our band was! Truly the BEST dance floor energy - the singers and musicians are all incredible and the setlist (which we were very hands off with other than asking for a few must plays / no plays) was impeccable. Charles was super responsive, helpful with all our questions, and made all of the (complicated) logistics work seamlessly. We paid for the maximum number of musicians and are glad we did. Book them!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sutherland Entertainment was one of our vendors at our wedding this past weekend at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA and we cannot say enough good things about Spencer! He was on the preferred list of vendors for this venue and we can see why. Spencer is detail oriented, professional and a great MC/ DJ. He has a variety of packages that offer AV, DJ-ing and even photo booth services. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we had zero mic feedback, great mic volume and clarity. He was able to read the crowd and kept the party going all night long! Before the wedding he made sure to send over a planning spreadsheet so he knew exactly what it was we wanted. He even helped put up some Chinese lanterns for us on the patio to really bring our vision to life. Day of, he checked in with us the whole day to make sure we were feeling good. We had a small issue with a table falling over and he was the first vendor to come over and reassure us that everything was going to be fine. Overall, Sutherland Entertainment is the DJ to beat and should be your first choice when looking for a full-service, awesome party.
