The LoveTap (DJ + SAX)

5.0

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!

A DJ was one of the most important things to me for my wedding and I am so glad that I picked Conner to DJ our special night. Conner is not your typical wedding DJ - He has bar and club experience under his belt so he is not going to be playing a spotify playlist, he is actually going to be mixing the songs together, reading the crowd and playing the right song next! I'm Indian and my wife is Mexican, and he was able to play all genres of music to be able to cater to everyone! His equipment is top of the line stuff! I am an audiophile and used to DJ, and sound is super important to me. When I heard what equipment Conner was using, I knew that this was the right guy. His speakers and sub created an surreal sound stage and his Shure Mics made speeches and the ceremony vows crystal clear. Plus he was super professional and punctual throughout the whole process. Thank you Conner for making our special night one of the best nights of our lives! So many of our guest came up to us to let us know that you were amazing!

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.

My husband and I had Ray as the DJ for our wedding reception Sept. 2022 and he was definitely 10/10 would recommend! It was a priority for us to make sure the music and vibe was right since we know that is what is going to make or break the party. Ray delivered that evening and kept the party going! Our family and friends genuinely enjoyed their time and even shared it was the best wedding they have attended. It was the right combination of good music, vibes, and people. He had the best mix of top hits, our favorite songs, and the good ol line dancing to fit the different musical interests. I was grateful to see the diversity in the crowd hitting the dance floor throughout the night from our friends to our young nieces/nephews to our parents and Titos/Titas. We truly could not of asked for a better DJ for our special night. Ray is a man of his craft and it is evident how passionate he is about his work and making sure his clients have an enjoyable time. He is professional and easy to talk/work with. We can’t thank Ray enough for making our reception extremely memorable. If you’re looking for a DJ that will fit your party needs, we would highly recommend Ray as your DJ!

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!

Working with Danny was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting to our very last- Danny was so professional and such a breeze to work with! We were confident he was going to be able to read the room and include a multitude of different genres throughout the evening. Our guests absolutely loved the music and were dancing all night!! Thank you Danny!!

Gary is the owner of About Music Pro. He is a Professional Musician, Band Leader, DJ / MC and Event Coordinator.

Also plays Piano, Guitar, Bass, Percussion, Ukulele, Vocalist Band leader, DJ / MC, Sound Engineer, Singer Song Writer, Composer and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston.

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!! :)

I have over 15 years of experience working in the music industry. As a DJ and sound engineer as well as a stage and lighting designer, I has developed the skills over the years to transform any event into an unforgettable experience. His creative vision combined with his passion and dedication to providing top-quality DJ and entertainment services has led to the building and expanding of his team at Dance N Groove DJs. From hosted parties at nightclubs, raves, and festivals, to corporate events, fundraisers, school dances, and weddings, I have done it all. His commitment to excellence is evident. He is always there for his clients.

Heath and his team are so awesome to work with! I work on the BTS (behind the scenes) at a hotel venue, so communication is key. The whole team is professional, friendly and easy to put an event with. I've worked with them numerous times throughout the past three years I've been a Catering Manager, and each time they always exceed our clients' expectations. You can't go wrong with Dance N Groove -- they're sure to keep you dancing and having fun all night long, even if you are that shy type!

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!
