DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (39 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

DJ Dominiq was the DJ for our wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in October 2024, and choosing him was one of the easiest decisions we made. I’m also a wedding planner and have worked with Dominiq for many years on countless weddings, and that long-standing professional relationship is exactly why we chose him for our own wedding. My fiancé is extremely particular about music, especially transitions, flow, and reading the dance floor. We wanted a party that felt elevated, fun, and alive, without the undertone of a corny MC or over-the-top DJ personality. Dominiq absolutely nailed this. The music flowed seamlessly, the energy never dipped, and the dance floor stayed full because he truly knows how to read a room. Even though Dominiq knows us well and has worked with us many times, he still scheduled a final meeting a week prior to the wedding. That meeting meant a lot to us, it showed how much he genuinely listens and cares about understanding each couple’s specific wants and needs. We felt completely heard and confident going into the wedding day. From a professional standpoint, Dominiq is everything you want in a vendor: always on time, always prepared, impeccably dressed, and consistently professional. he also has the best equipment and the best speakers. Coming from a person who works with a lot of DJs. I have very often seen really terrible speakers used at a wedding which means you can’t hear the MC and everything is muffled that was not the case with Dominiq. He brings a calm confidence to every event and elevates the overall experience for both couples and vendors alike. I can honestly say, as both a bride and a wedding planner, I highly recommend DJ Dominiq. He is incredibly talented, reliable, and truly one of the best in the industry.

We hired DJ Dylan-G for our wedding, and he was fantastic! He helped keep the dance floor packed all night with a great mix of music tailored to our taste. Communication was smooth, and he arrived early and organized. We received so many compliments from our guests.

I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I still love what I do. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to events with 1,000+ guests. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, and I’ve even DJed weddings internationally. I keep things personal, keep things flowing, and make sure everyone is having a great time. I read the room, mix live, set the vibe, and know when to turn things up. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure your wedding feels like you.

Michael was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was so professional and fun and made our vision come to life! It was so nice knowing he was in control of the music flow as everything went exactly according to plan. He really did a superb job guiding the whole evening and nailing all of our requests. It was incredible enjoying the day knowing he was taking care of all the music and microphones and having everything flow so smoothly. We can’t speak highly enough about having him as our DJ. Thank you so much Michael for not only being a part of our special day and making it fun but by also taking the stress off of us by allowing the flow of the evening to go so smoothly with your guidance and expertise.

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT. He played banger after banger making it impossible for myself and guests to leave the dance floor. He even included clips from some of the speeches that were given earlier in the evening. INCREDIBLE! I've had several people since, ask for his contact information to play future events! If you're looking for someone to keep the dance party flowing- call Conner! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

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.

I highly recommend GE production for DJ events! Jimmy was our DJ and he was great. 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 was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!

Hi, I'm Leon! I grew up in the Bay Area, worked in radio, studied music and culture in grad school, and spent years at a large DJ company where I was a manager and the highest-reviewed DJ. When I realized that our values weren't compatible, I left to build something different—a space where every detail matters and showing up for each other is just the baseline.

Leon was easy to work with from the moment we met him. He was communicative and matched our vision for our reception. He played our favorite songs and mixed up the vibes when needed to keep people on the dance floor. He worked seamlessly with our coordinator to keep the night on track. I 100% recommend Leon for your DJ needs

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.

We had THE BEST time at our wedding!! Everyone was beaming about how much fun DJ Cameron was and how much fun they had on our dance floor! DJ Cameron Martin was the best! He didn’t just play from a playlist but actually live mixed the music and DJ’d the same way you'd hear at a nightclub... unlike so many weddings we’ve been to. We danced for hours and he kept the energy at a peak from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. THANK YOU DJ CAMERON!!

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!!

His performance was the perfect addition to our wedding, and our guests were raving about him all night.

Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin… I received so many compliments from my guests saying how much they looooved listening and seeing Durell perform on our wedding day. Durell is so easy to work with and communicate with! There was a lot of back and forth of music playing between him and my DJ and Durell never complained once and collaborated so well with my DJ. However, the best part was we wanted to do a mash up of 2 songs my husband and I love as our First Dance and Durell created one for us! It was sooo great! It made our First Dance that much more magical and memorable. He accommodated all of my wishes and he was truly the highlight of our wedding! We had Durell perform my husband’s processional song (which Durell learned a new song for!!! How awesome is that!?), our cocktail hour, our first dance and continue performing music during the first half of our dinner. Please hire Durell for any Wedding (or any other) event!! You will not be disappointed !!! Thank you again so so much Durell! You are such an amazing artist, performer and person!

New to Zola, but trusted at weddings and events throughout Southern California for OVER 15 YEARS, 500+ WEDDINGS. 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!!!!

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.

San Diego’s premier female DJ & MC, getting shorty fire-burning on the dance floor since 2012! With her exceptional skills in DJing and MCing, she has become the go-to choice for all types of events, ranging from elegant weddings to large corporate events, intimate house parties to dancy bars and clubs. You will typically catch DJ Tigerlily mixing between hiphop, pop, rock, house, electro, funk, disco, and latin tracks, old school to the new. No two playlists are ever the same with this DJ as she thoughtfully prepares for each event based off her client's musical tastes and later builds off the crowd's reaction.

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!

He was always quick to respond and thorough in his responses. We also loved working with Gary and his band on the day of our wedding. We decided to skip our sendoff just so we could keep dancing! I honestly can't say enough good things. Do yourself a favor and book these guys for your event! Gary acted as our emcee and DJ, plus bandleader for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was smooth and professional, and the music was so amazingly perfect for us throughout the reception and into the dance party. Our guests of all ages had a blast - people couldn't stop talking about how great the music was! Thank you!! :)

Heartbeat Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

For over 25 years, I’ve been turning music into memories. From luxury brand events with Sephora, Macy’s and H&M to unforgettable intimate gatherings, I’ve performed at every type of event there is—but nothing compares to my favorite: the beauty of a wedding day. My journey began as a kid mesmerized by rhythm, inspired by how music could move people’s hearts. That passion has only deepened with time. Today, I bring that same childlike wonder and hard-earned mastery to every couple’s love story. For me, DJing isn’t just sound—it’s emotion, connection, and the art of capturing the heartbeat of the crowd that will be remembered forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re both huge music people, so finding the right DJ was a big deal for us. We didn’t want someone who’d just press play — we wanted a real vibe. Brendan completely got it. He mixed everything so seamlessly it felt like a live concert. The transitions, the drops, even the slower moments — it all felt intentional. Before, I worried the energy would dip after dinner. Instead, it just kept building. People were sweating, laughing, losing their minds in the best way.

Rewind! is a rock dance cover band, featuring music from the 70's to present (with a focus on the dance hits of the 80's!) We are an experienced wedding band based out of San Diego, CA. Although the band itself was formed only in 2021, its members have been members of other rock bands for several decades. From Blondie to The Pretenders, Tom Petty, the Doobies, U2 and the Cars to Journey, sprinkled with contemporary songs Rewind! entertains with crowd pleasing, generation spanning, Rock & Roll. When it comes to adding life, music and fun to your wedding, you can count on Rewind!

We had the most wonderful time having Rewind! play our wedding, and we got sooo many compliments from our guests. Mel was an awesome emcee, and the band played the best 80s hits and got the crowd up and dancing. We even had one friend tell us that, after this, he would refuse to go to a wedding without a live band again. Rewind! was super warm and professional, but also in our budget in these crazy inflation times. They even worked with us to create some special touches, which made it all the more memorable.
