Christina was our DJ. She responded to our initial inquiry within two hours and sent a form to get to know us better. She mixed in every song we selected and MC'd all of the special events within the reception. Not only that, she understood the crowd and set a positive vibe so that everyone felt included. We had a mix of four cultures and three generations as guests for our wedding, and everyone had a great time. From hip-hop to Afrobeats and reggaeton, along with oldies to soft rock, Christina managed to produce a set that was fluid and fun. EVERYONE, from our 86 year old grandpa to our college freshmen bridal party, asked where we found our DJ! She made our night even more incredible than we could have imagined!

The LoveTap (DJ + SAX)

San Diego, CA
  • DJ

This is YOUR wedding. Your wedding deserves a better DJ. A DJ with over a decade of experience playing events all around the world. I started as a nightclub DJ, playing 4-5 nights a week in San Diego's top nightclubs. I would also play in clubs in Las Vegas, NYC, CHI, MIA, SF, and even Europe (Ibiza, Greece, Switzerland, Amsterdam). I used to only DJ weddings for friends, but eventually found my love for DJing was better fit at weddings with the wide demographic of people allowing for more creative ways to blend music and surprise people. I bring club style mixing to wedding appropriate music. Option for LIVE SAX too!

When I was looking for a DJ for our wedding, I refused to have a standard DJ that would kill the vibe of our wedding (I have seen this pleanty of times at other weddings). I am so glad I found Conner!! He is unique to other DJs as he actually knows how to mix songs and make them fun to dance to. Our dance floor was alive ALL night. I had multiple people come up to tell me how amazing our DJ was. He played the songs we loved and requested while also playing a variety of songs that our guests would love too. He was very professional and organized throughout the whole planning process as well. He truly set the tone of the night which is why finding an amazing DJ is so important!! Our wedding would have not been the same without Conner! Highly recommend!!

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 met Jimmy Grizzley at the Uncorked Wine Festival durning the summer. He was absolutely killing it on the decks and I got his contact info because we were looking for a DJ for our wedding. I checked his reviews and it was reasuring to see how long he had been in the game and all the great stuff previous clients had to say about him. We hired him and it was so smooth working with him on our musical selections. He has a really easy process to use as I am not that tech savvy! Came our big day we knew he would kill it! I loved the lighting (we got the advanced/intelligent package) and the music was off the chart. He mixed in originals as well as some remixes and kept the dancefloor moving all night. I feel there is a big difference between the wedding DJ options out there and Jimmy Grizz brings an amazing mix of both professional class with some big time swag! Hire him if you want the best in the business for your wedding!

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!

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.

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations. This approach has allowed the 80'z All-Stars and MSE to flourish for 20+ years.

We had not heard them live, which made me nervous, but we took a chance and booked them anyway. Best. Decision. Ever. Our wedding was a BLAST due in large part to the band keeping the dance floor packed the whole time. We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context). We agree! Beyond their musical talent, The Mighty Untouchables were so kind to my husband and I on our big day, along with all of our guests. I am so thankful we got to work together. Just trust me: you won't regret The Mighty Untouchables. Thank you for helping make our wedding the most incredible day!

Just WOW - Tyler Varnell's contribution to our wedding experience was even more than we could have ever imagined! In addition to being an incredibly talented musician (he can literally improv over anything), he was incredibly professional, responsive, flexible, and went above and beyond to make our wedding day a customized experience. For example, he effortlessly infused top 40s and classic Bollywood music (which he learned specifically for our event) into our cocktail hour, giving all of our guests something to be effusively excited about. This brought a fun yet sophisticated vibe to our cocktail hour. Additionally, he seamlessly coordinated a saxophone solo into our first dance, complimented the DJ with a few saxophone covers during dinner, and even hopped on the dance floor and tore it up with some solos during peak party energy. Tyler truly elevated our wedding experience and will forever be someone we gratefully and fondly remember when reflecting on our special day.

Cello Joe proved to be the perfect DJ/MC for our wedding, and we enthusiastically recommend him. From the beginning, he was responsive and took charge of the planning process to ensure our day unfolded exactly as we envisioned. His creative ideas helped maintain a smooth and engaging atmosphere throughout the evening. Not only did he adeptly adjust the energy levels to suit the mood, but his skills as a cellist and his unique personality added an extra layer of charm. He even accommodated outfit changes between sets as requested! From entertaining the youngest guests to delighting the older relatives, he effortlessly catered to all ages. Our 18-month-old niece and 3-year-old nephew even held hands and danced to his music together! Despite initial doubts from our families about bringing in an artist we discovered at a music festival, they are now singing his praises. Cello Joe exceeded all expectations, from his classical cello performance during guest entrance to his cello covers during cocktail hour, and finally, his DJ/MC duties and original music at the after-party. If we could change one thing, it would be to extend his captivating original set longer into the after-party than we had planned—it was simply outstanding. Here's to Cello Joe for making our wedding unforgettable and gaining new fans along the way. No one else could have done it like him—truly perfect!

Our beached theme wedding ceremony in Coronado would not have been complete without the absolutely superb performance of DJ Trey. My now wife and I thoroughly researched to find a DJ with the skillset to entertain our eclectic guest at our wedding reception, at a seafood restaurant in Coronado. Based on the positive reviews and experience, we selected DJ Trey Money. From the very initial conversations with Trey he was very professional, organized and listened intently to our requests to customize a playlist that fit our special occasion perfectly. From the background music during the cocktail hour, to the songs that inspired guests to hit the dance floor during the dancing portion, all of our guests couldn't stop singing and dancing along to their favorite songs. It was obvious that our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music selections. On several occasions, guests approached us and complimented the DJ's epic performance and excellent delivery on music choice. If you are looking for a DJ for your special event, I highly recommend DJ Trey to deliver the exact experience you are looking for.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!

Bryan was absolutely amazing! And he had quite a journey with me. Our wedding was originally June of 2020, and Bryan helped me to sort out what to use for the ceremony, and helped to guide me toward good music for the reception. I was feeling reading, but of course COVID forced us to delay our wedding to June 2021. He was more than understanding, and helped us to delay with compassion. Fast forward to March of 2021, and due to a really devastating year on our family, we decided to cancel our wedding altogether. Bryan worked with my husband and I (we legally got married in 2020) to have an “unwedding” party, just some good music and karaoke in our backyard, to take our minds off of the tough times. It was so much fun, everyone had a great time, and Bryan helped us to lighten the mood to keep us distracted from what could have been a really sad day for us. I highly recommend him for weddings, parties and everything in between. Thank you Bryan for helping us through the crazy journey that was 2020 and 2021!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lark and her performance made our wedding reception into the unforgettable night we wanted and more. It was a dance party and sing-along like no other wedding we (or our friends) had seen before. It was perfect from start to finish. And when I say start, I really mean it. We met Lark a year before our wedding when she just so happened to be playing at the dueling piano bar where I proposed to my wife with Lark's last minute help. It was her perfect rendition of Bruno Mars's "Marry You" (which she learned on the spot) that really made the proposal perfect. We stayed in touch and were thrilled to learn that she played wedding receptions. We were even more thrilled when we realized that her very reasonable prices actually fit in our budget. Throughout the wedding planning, Lark was so accommodating. She was responsive to all our requests, made helpful suggestions, and was incredibly flexible as we were constantly changing timelines and floor plans. She was even more amazing on the day of the reception. Our biggest fear was that people would not dance at our wedding (smallish wedding with a very plain venue) but those fears immediately subsided as soon as Lark kicked off the night. She was our MC, vocalist, and obviously an amazing piano player. From the first note of "Livin' On A Prayer" to the last note of "Don't Stop Believing," the dance floor was packed and our guests loved every second. We lost count of how many people told us "best dance party ever!" To top it off, halfway through the night Lark presented us with the exact request card I gave her the night I proposed to my wife over a year earlier. She had it saved in a small frame so that we could keep it forever, which brings me to my last point. Lark will provide great entertainment no doubt, but what really sets her apart is the heart that she put into each event. We will cherish the memories we made with her forever and can't wait for an excuse to hire her again!

While planning our wedding, we found Shivan online and met with him in person before the lockdown. We found him to be incredibly flexible with meeting us in person and listening to our requests. He took detailed notes and made great observations and helpful suggestions along the way. He had a running list of many classic and pop songs that he offered to perform live, and also offered to learn new songs just for us – amazing! Throughout the shutdown, he continued to stay in contact with us over the phone, and was able to make adjustments to the plans as needed. Shivan was very generous with his time, and was always eager to bring our vision to life. We had a detailed itinerary and he executed the plan perfectly! Aside from his ability to entertain with great live music and DJ events, he is able to adapt on the fly. Due to unforeseen weather conditions, we had to move locations from outdoors to indoors and he had the patience, equipment, and skills to make all adjustments with little to no guidance.

We're live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We're here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Lucky Devils are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Visit our website for upcoming showcase dates where you can see the band perform LIVE before booking. You can also tailor the dream band to suit your style and budget. Reach out to get started! We also offer Photo-Video services!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding two years ago, we agreed right away that we both wanted a live band for the reception - it was the most important thing for both of us, as we knew we wanted that kind of energy in the room. As we researched bands (mostly through wedding-themed websites like Wedding Wire and The Knot), we came across the Lucky Devils Band and saw all of their good reviews. There are a lot of other bands you can find in and around Los Angeles, but they had one really big advantage that most other bands didn’t - regularly scheduled showcases where you could see them perform live. LDB were actually the first band we seriously considered, but we still did our due diligence and looked into a lot of other bands. We said to each other - we can’t just book the first band we find! Well, we ended up doing just that, and it was the best decision we made! Not only do they make it easy for couples to come see them live, they are also talented, professional, and truly affordable. Mike Smirnoff, the musician/producer who was our main point of contact was super responsive, friendly, and remembered us from early on (we ended up attending a lot of their showcases because we just enjoyed hearing them live!). The small downside to the band is that because they are essentially a collective, you won’t necessarily know which musicians will be playing on the day of your event, however, Mike took into account all of our specific requests for certain members we saw at each of their showcases, and he secured everyone that we had wanted. We had a six-piece band, which included two versatile musician/singers (Andrew on guitar & vocals, and Jason on keyboard and vocals) so we got the most bang for our buck. Kaitlyn was amazing on vocals, and Mark was killer on sax, with Dimitri on bass and Mike himself on drums rounding out the band. We got SO many compliments from our guests all night long - including from his parents, who are VERY picky about music, and from other friends who are composers/musicians themselves. Our wedding was in March, right as the pandemic panic was kicking into high gear - and we were very stressed about the cancellations and our own fears, but when the music started playing, we forgot about all of it and danced until we couldn’t feel our feet. We highly recommend the Lucky Devils Band to all couples!! Get yourselves to a showcase and see for yourselves how great they are!!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

When you plan a wedding, you hope for a day that's filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories. However, sometimes, life throws unexpected challenges your way. On our special day, "The Hook Club" not only delivered an exceptional performance but also showcased a level of dedication and professionalism that we will never forget. A sudden storm threatened to dampen our wedding day, and we feared our outdoor celebration at the North Fork Table & Inn would be ruined. That's when "The Hook Club" displayed their unwavering commitment by trekking through the storm to make sure they arrived, even when we least expected it. Their determination to be there for us touched our hearts. Once they arrived, it was clear that we were in for a musical treat. Their performance was nothing short of magical. "The Hook Club" created an atmosphere of intimate love and warmth that perfectly suited the occasion. The choice of songs and the way they played them resonated deeply with us and our guests. It felt as if they knew exactly what our hearts desired. Our wedding guests were not only impressed but also raved about "The Hook Club's" performance. Many of our friends and family commented on how well-suited the music was for the venue and the overall atmosphere. The band's ability to connect with the audience was remarkable, and they played a crucial role in making our day truly special. We cannot thank "The Hook Club" enough for their incredible talent, dedication, and their willingness to go the extra mile, even in the face of adversity. Their performance added an extra layer of magic to our wedding, and we will forever cherish the memories they helped create. If you're looking for a music vendor that not only delivers outstanding performances but also has a heartwarming commitment to their clients, "The Hook Club" should be your top choice. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any special occasion where you want to create lasting memories through music.

They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.
