Vibe Group Creations 
Rating: 5.0 (90 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

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

“If you're reading this review, congratulations, you can stop your wedding DJ search! DJ Pat is without a doubt the man you are going to want to keep the party going on your special day. We hired Pat for both our ceremony and our reception and he completely knocked it out of the park all day long. The app that he provides his clients makes it SO EASY to setup the songs you want to play and even lets you put together a schedule for the day, which we found to be incredibly useful during planning. On the day of the wedding, Pat showed up early to setup his equipment at two different sites and because he is a professional, he didn't need to worry us with questions about where things needed to go. Thanks to Pat, our day went as smoothly as we could have dreamed. He delighted guests at our ceremony with his extensive backlog of lovely instrumental music, even some really niche ones. He also provided a microphone for our officiant so no one had to shout as our ceremony was outdoors. Then during cocktail hour, dinner, and finally open dance, he kept the party going with suggestions we added to his app, requests from our guests, and his own surprises that he tailored to us as a couple. We seriously cannot recommend DJ Pat enough. Thanks to him, our wedding day was truly magical.”

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.”

“Dancing DJ Productions was the most incredible DJ I have ever worked with. As someone who dated a club DJ and being a wedding photographer who meets a lot of music professionals, my standards are pretty high. But DJ Grande exceeded all my expectations. His communication style was friendly, concise, timely and accommodating throughout the planning process. The quality of his work and value was exceptional - he provided a smooth transition between songs, was flexible in accommodating my song requests, and was thorough in going through the timeline to ensure all my music was accounted for. He played every single song I requested, which was super important to me. I also really liked that this company was a one-stop shop, as I added on up-lighting, cold sparklers, and a photo booth, all of which were very affordable. Dancing DJ Productions helped make our reception feel like an old middle school dance vibe, which was exactly what I was going for. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Conner made our wedding beyond perfect. He did an amazing job with preparation and the day itself. Before the wedding, we met with him a couple times to go through his spreadsheet to map out songs and playlists on a clear timeline for the day. He was both super organized and very flexible, offering suggestions and asking questions to understand exactly what we wanted. He absolutely nailed EVERYTHING, from our ceremony songs, to cocktail hour, to reception speeches/dances/announcements, and finally music on the dance floor. We have a wide variety of friends and family with different ages and tastes in music, and he got EVERYONE (even people we thought wouldn’t dance) on the dance floor ALL throughout the night. Transitions were perfect, he kept the energy so high, and we had the best night ever. On top of all of that, he also handled the mic setup for the ceremony. Every wedding I’ve been to has had problems with the mics, or people can’t hear, but Conner set everything up perfectly and even walked our officiant through everything before the ceremony. Conner was one of the main reasons our wedding was so perfect. Thank you Conner!”

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 was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!”

“We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game.

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!!”

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!!!!”

We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!”

“We hired About Music Pro for our February 2020 wedding and it was the best vendor decision we made in terms of professionalism, communication, organization, and results. We loved working with Gary throughout the planning process and he was professional, friendly, down-to-earth and honest. We met with him in person and communicated via email and text. 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!! :)”

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.

Hey! I’m Pat, a solo guitarist and singer based in San Diego. I’ve been performing for over 20 years and love creating the perfect atmosphere for each couple’s special day. Whether it’s a relaxed cocktail hour or a lively reception, I tailor my set to fit the moment and bring good energy through timeless classics and feel good favorites. Music has always been my way of connecting with people, and it’s an honor to help make weddings unforgettable through the songs everyone loves.

“Patrick made our elopement on Sunset Cliffs absolutely magical. His live versions of They Love Each Other by the Grateful Dead and In the Morning Light by Billy Strings fit the moment perfectly. He’s talented, kind, and intuitive exactly the kind of musician you want for a meaningful event.”

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!”
