“We couldn’t have asked for someone better, he did a phenomenal job from the start when guests arrived to the very last song. The music selection was perfect, it kept everyone dancing and was exactly what we wanted. DJ Pat made the whole wedding process seamless, his music app was amazing and we couldn’t work at our own pace. He was extremely responsive and gave us a great recommendation for our wedding game (which we keep getting compliments on!) I cannot recommend DJ Pat enough, he is the perfect person for the job!!”

Vibe Group Creations is a professional DJ & MC company based in Temecula, CA. My approach is simple: play music that makes people smile, feel good, and want to celebrate. Your playlists give me the blueprint, then I mix live, read the crowd, and adjust to the energy in the room. With 18+ years of experience and over 1,500 events, I’m confident I can provide the right soundtrack for your wedding. Check out my Instagram for actual footage of me DJing and MCing with real live audio. No music added over the videos. What you hear is what happened at that moment. Don’t hire a playlist. Hire someone who knows how to read the room and has the footage and reviews to back it up. Instagram: vibegroupcreations

“You absolutely could not go wrong hiring Conner for your wedding! We had the absolute best time ever, and our dance floor was packed all night long. Not only does he play awesome music, but he’s also an excellent emcee, and does a wonderful job of tailoring things to your specific vibe. He was organized & easy to work with, and ultimately just made me feel like we didn’t need to worry about anything at all, which is 100% what I was looking for in a wedding vendor. We honestly couldn’t be more grateful to him for setting the vibe!

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

We got a smaller dance floor because they say around 50-70% of the guests are at the dancefloor at a time but my guests were on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone loved the playlist! Jimmy also went above and beyond producing a remix of three songs for the father and bride dance.

I’ve spent the past 12 years DJing over 400 weddings, and every one of them has shaped my signature approach: luxury without stuffiness, energy without gimmicks. As a multi-award-winning DJ featured in national publications, I bring more than music… I bring an atmosphere. From the moment your guests arrive to the last song of the night, everything feels intentional, seamless, and unforgettable. My mixes are live, my MC work is polished, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding the one everyone talks about long after the lights come up.

“I mean this from the bottom of my heart... If you do not book DJ Cameron Martin for your wedding, you're missing out big time. I literally can't think of a time where I've had more fun. The dance floor was PACKED from the moment he opened the dance floor until the last song of the night. My husband was even crowd surfing at one point?! It was straight out of a movie and we are didn't even have a crowd of traditionally crazy party people. Cameron made sure that each guest of every age was having the time of their life. He read the room flawlessly and somehow knew just what to play and how/when to seamlessly transition without ever even hopping on the mic during the open dance portion (not one corny line was uttered). He's an industry icon (every one of my other vendors knew exactly who he was) and a musical genius and I give him the strongest possible recommendation to any and everyone until the day I die. that's kinda dramatic, but that's how seriously amazing he was.”

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

“We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!”

Jukebox Entertainment Live blends high energy live musicianship with seamless DJ coverage to create unforgettable celebrations and packed dance floors. Live band energy. Seamless DJ flow. Unforgettable weddings.

“Do not hesitate...book JukeBox!!!. I promise you will be in the best hands. I was lucky enough to experience JukeBox firsthand at my brother-in-law’s wedding, and I am not exaggerating when I say the band was THE highlight of the night. As a guest, my experience with them was a 10000/10. The range and variety of music, the talent of every single member, and the sheer level of performance brought so much fun and energy to the night. It truly felt like a private concert! Guests were crowding the front of the stage, every age group was dancing, and I genuinely did not want to leave the dance floor. After that night, I knew my husband and I had to have them at our wedding. When it came time to book entertainment, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Now speaking as a bride: Jon, David, and the entire team behind the scenes are professional, kind, responsive, organized, and genuinely wonderful people. Meeting with Jon to plan everything was seamless. We felt comfortable right away, everything was explained clearly, and there were absolutely no surprises. They truly care about giving you the best possible experience and work with you to make your vision come to life. Trust can be hard to come by when you’re wedding planning. You’re spending so much money, and it’s honestly nerve-wracking not knowing if everything will live up to what you’re hoping for — especially with such a huge day on the line. But JukeBox is NOT a vendor you need to second-guess. They are worth every single penny!!! David is an incredible MC who kept the entire evening flowing effortlessly. We incorporated a Filipino money dance into our reception, and I was so unsure about what music to use. David patiently worked through my many emails, helped guide me through the decision, and I never once had to second-guess that it would all come together smoothly. On the wedding day, it was seamless. They are a well oiled machine and they operate so flawlessly and are truly such a driving force to the party!! During the planning process, David was always responsive and attentive, and everything felt completely tailored to us. He even professionally cut and edited our first dance and father-daughter dance songs, and they turned out perfectly. Our dance floor was packed all night long & guests are still talking about how amazing the band was just like they still talk about them from my brother-in-law’s wedding. We cannot recommend JukeBox highly enough. They made our wedding reception unforgettable and truly brought our dream celebration to life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!”

Solo guitar, duets, and ensembles are available, with discreet amplification so every guest hears the music beautifully.

“Rob Andrew was the perfect choice for our wedding, and honestly, it wasn't our first time working with him since we'd hired him before for Spanish guitar at art openings where he created the ideal atmosphere. From our first conversation, he was easy to reach and always offered thoughtful suggestions that made planning stress-free. For our big day, he played solo during the ceremony and then brought in a talented vocalist, Sara, for Basso Nova music during the reception, which was exactly what we wanted. His skill and professionalism really shined through, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the entertainment. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Rob to any couple looking for a guitarist who actually listens to what you want and delivers.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“First of all, I was really impressed with their responsiveness and excellent communication skills. All of my questions were answered promptly in detail and they had also shared some valuable suggestions. On the wedding day, the DJ and live jazz trio that performed at our wedding were absolutely phenomenal. The jazz trio added such an elegant, romantic vibe during the cocktail hour and dinner and the DJ brought the party to life on the dance floor. They worked together flawlessly to keep the energy perfect throughout the evening. Both the DJ and musicians were professional, easy to work with and really understood the mood we wanted for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

San Diego born and raised DJ! When I first started DJing with my Dad, the things most important to us were music and customer experience. To this day, as I continue to plan and MC events, music, and customer service continue to be a cornerstone of my business. Throughout this past year, I spent a lot of my time speaking with families, friends, past and future clients, vendors, and business professionals. I learned that it’s best to be proactive rather than reactive. I dedicate myself to help in any way I can! We are devoted to providing great service in the industry!

“The Metric System Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was professional, thorough, and knowledgeable, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, their execution was seamless and exciting - they kept the dance floor packed all night long with a playlist that perfectly read the crowd. The energy they brought to our special day was truly unmatched, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding an unforgettable celebration. We cannot recommend The Metric System Entertainment enough to any couple looking for a DJ, MC, lighting, photo booth, or videography services.”

“Lily DJ-ed at our wedding in May 2024, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was friendly, responsive, organized, and clearly had a lot of valuable experience in the industry. She did an amazing job using our playlist as inspiration to keep everyone on the dance floor. She read the dance floor really well, making adjustments quickly to maintain the right energy. The vibes were great (all thanks to her!!), and many of our guests made it a point to let us know she did a great job. A friend even said DJ Tiger Lily was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding, which was a high compliment! We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!”
