As a fellow wedding professional, I cannot recommend Tempoe Entertainment DJs enough. From the moment they arrive for setup to the final song of the night, their team operates with a level of precision and energy that is rare in this industry. What sets them apart isn't just their ability to read a room—though they are masters at keeping a dance floor packed—it’s their seamless communication with the rest of the vendor team. They understand the flow of a wedding perfectly, ensuring that every transition is polished and every announcement is clear. When Tempoe is behind the booth, I know the timeline will be respected, the atmosphere will be electric, and the couple will be thrilled.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Seth from Vital Event Group for our September wedding, and he exceeded every expectation! From the start, Seth’s professionalism and easy-going nature made the planning process stress-free. His use of the Vibo app was such a game-changer—it allowed us to easily upload our song selections and ceremony/reception timeline details, making communication and organization effortless. We gave Seth just a handful of songs to set the vibe, and he curated an incredible playlist that perfectly matched the energy we wanted. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to the dance floor—when guests weren’t feeling a particular track, Seth quickly pivoted and got everyone back on their feet. By the end of the night, the energy was sky-high, and our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had! On top of all that, Seth’s DJ booth setup was sleek and clean, and we loved being able to display our photos and videos on his screen—it added such a personal and unique touch to the night. We can’t recommend Seth and Vital Event Group enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, adaptable, and truly knows how to keep the party alive, Seth is the one! Thanks Seth!!

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Bell Gardens, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 1,000+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Moon Units made my wedding. It all started when my wife (fiancee at the time) forwarded me an Instagram clip of them because she knew I was set on hiring a live band. I took my sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

Tiger (aka Dj Ceviche) started music appreciation lessons at the age of 3 and has continued with professional music production, performance, composition, blogging, curation, and djing for the last 3 decades. His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Tiger on Zola really early on in our wedding planning process and knew we had to reach out. We really wanted a DJ that felt different, less cheesy, that could help us create a vibe of a house party with all our friends versus a wedding ballroom. Luckily for us, he had plenty of experience with our venue and we quickly realized Tiger would be one of our vendors we didn’t have to worry about. He played vinyl during our cocktail hour, helped create the most seamless ceremony, added personal touches as our MC, and gave us the greatest dance floor we could have asked for. Super easy to work with, and most importantly we knew we could trust him with our night. If you’re thinking about booking Tiger, just do it, don’t look anywhere else. I said “this is the best night of my life” to anyone who would listen about 15 times during our reception

From the months leading up to the actual wedding and on the day of the wedding, Edgardo was incredibly sweet and accommodating throughout the whole process. He went out of his way to make sure that the violinist that I hired had everything that she needed to be able to perform. Even though we hadn't included the additional setup in the original quote, he gave it to us as a wedding gift. He was on top of all of the songs. Not once did I turn around and feel like he had left his station. He was managing the photo booth phenomenally while also providing every song that we had requested on time and with an enthusiastic behavior. He kept the crowd excited. He knew the right times to change the music and he was absolutely hysterical by joking around with our guests and even being playful when introducing key songs. He really cares about his work and the service he provides. He goes above and beyond to make you feel special and taken care of and is someone I would hire for any event that I throw in the future. I had a phenomenal time working with him. I will say don't be stressed if he doesn't respond to your text messages. He is definitely somebody that will answer a phone call more often than a text. But nevertheless, he shows up and provides incredible service with a smile and I couldn't have asked for our event to go any better. He really really did a great job. Just make sure that you put everything you want in his app because he uses that to make sure that he does what you're asking of him. All of your comments all of your needs. Any specific songs you want played are all in there, so be sure to stay on top of that so that you can guarantee a wonderful experience like I had. I can't say this enough. Hire him. Hire him, hire him. He did everything more than any DJ that I had requested quotes from!

I launched my own DJ business in 2021, but I’ve been a professional DJ and MC for over five years, working with top Southern California companies like Second Song, SoCal DJ Ent., Vital Event Group, and N-Effect. I’ve performed at premier wedding venues, including Calamigos Ranch, Bel-Air Bay Club, The Fig House, and Rancho Las Lomas. Beyond weddings, I’ve been trusted to bring the energy to private events for high-profile clients like DSW Shoes, Google, SpaceX, and the Academy Museum. With a deep passion for music, seamless event execution, and keeping the dance floor alive, I’m excited to bring my expertise to your next event.

The best testimonial I can give is the story of how my husband and I found DJ Tyler and hired him for our wedding. A few months after getting engaged (and prior to setting a date or booking a venue) my then-fiancé and I attended a party where Tyler was DJing. We intended to leave the party after an hour, but ended up staying for three hours because Tyler was playing banger after banger. I approached him and asked if he performed at weddings, and I was happy to learn that weddings are DJ Tyler’s full time gig. About a year later, Tyler was the first wedding vendor we hired, as having the right DJ was one of our top priorities. Throughout the planning process, Tyler was communicative, responsive, and extremely professional. He gave helpful feedback on our proposed reception timeline and provided suggestions for building a playlist that would ensure a packed dance floor the entire night. Regarding our music, my husband and I gave Tyler the thematic suggestion “50% soul train and funk/50% early 2000s hip hop and pop bangers” (shoutout to millennial couples), and he understood the assignment more perfectly than I could have asked for. Our wedding was this past Saturday 6/28/25, and our guests cannot stop raving about how much they enjoyed the immaculate dance floor vibes that Tyler curated. Friends and family members commented that Tyler was noticeably reading the room to gauge which music the guests were enjoying most and adjusting the playlist accordingly. In addition to being a fantastic DJ and MC, he is also a super nice person who is awesome and pleasant to work with. We’re already thinking about throwing another party and keeping Tyler on as a “DJ on retainer” for all future special events
