TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!

Eric Morales was our DJ for our wedding in Temecula! He was absolutely amazing, helped keep us on schedule and kept the party alive the whole time! I had multiple guests tell me that they were so impressed with his style and loved how he got everyone on the dance floor for a group photo and then immediately started the party with everyone out there! It was so much fun, and if I ever need a DJ for something I will be hiring Eric! I also loved his use of the cold sparklers for our exit and even when there was a hiccup he made sure we got all the pictures! I cannot rave enough about how happy I was with our wedding experience and this company! 10/10 recommend! Also I know a big thing for brides is their playlist, and the platform we used to pick all our songs was so easy to use and Eric even checked with me to make sure everything was as I wanted it! He played great music all night and was able to capture all the genres we love!

DJ Joseph was great!! I recently had him DJ (and his son helped out at the photo booth) for my wedding this past weekend. From start to finish, DJ Joseph brought incredible energy, kept the dance floor going, and made the entire evening flow seamlessly. He was professional, communicated well, and was able to make changes when we asked for it. The music selection was great—he took our playlist and added and took away songs (with our permission) that kept all ages dancing. Our guests are still talking about how fun the reception was, and we know DJ Joseph played a huge role in that! His lights and photobooth add ons were perfect too, it was a HUGE hit with my guests. Thank you so much Joseph!! :)

Golden Bells was PHENOMENAL! Marlon and the entire band absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Not only is every musician insanely talented, but Marlon curated the night perfectly -- easing in with oldies to get our parents and older guests moving, then seamlessly shifting into the EDM, pop, and Bay Area rap we love. It felt like the soundtrack of us, and everyone could feel that. One of the highlights of the night was when the band came onto the dance floor with drums, trumpet, guitar, and trombone -- and even let us drum in a bit. The energy was unbelievable. And Hava Nagila with a full live band? Unreal. The band/DJ fusion setup made the entire reception feel elevated, unique, and unforgettable. They're truly a one-of-one. We got so many compliments throughout the night and later about the music, the vibe, and the experience the band created. Everything ran smoothly -- from emceeing to sound to transitions -- and you can tell the quality of their equipment and professionalism is top-notch. We can't thank Marlon and the Golden Bells team enough for making our wedding feel like a celebration we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend them!

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.

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.

I used this company for my dj, Photo Booth and cold sparklers and lighting for my wedding at Bal Hai and I was 10/10 happy with their services! I paid extra to have an attendant stay so I could use the cold sparklers multiple times which was great! Him and the photo booth attendant were both very kind and easy to work with. DJ Erin was fantastic! I had some technical issues with the website not allowing me to add my songs online but after our phone calls I felt like I could trust him and was able to share my Spotify playlist to him which made my life so much earlier and less stressful. He edited a song for me perfectly for my walk down the aisle and was always quick to respond ahead of the wedding if I had a question. I very much would trust this company in the future and I wouldn’t change one tiny thing about my wedding! A dj can make or break a party and he made mine! I got lots of compliments about the music selection and variety of songs and genres that were played. Also Nicole made my planning process very easy and was always quick to respond to questions via email as well.

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 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.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams.

He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

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!

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!!

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.

I’m a working DJ and musician based in North County San Diego (Oceanside), passionate about creating unforgettable experiences through music. I regularly DJ at bars and clubs and also love performing at weddings and private events. Whether it’s setting the vibe at a downtown venue or curating the perfect soundtrack for a couple’s big day, I bring energy, professionalism, and a deep love for music to every event.

Fotakis was the perfect wedding DJ for our wedding. From the very first interaction, his communication style was chill, transparent, knowledgeable, easy going, and informative. This guy was super attentive, adaptive, professional, versatile, and inclusive throughout the entire planning process and event. Without us even asking, he brought extra microphones to ensure great sound quality took the time to add comparable songs to our music selections, he really catered to bringing the life to the party and went above and beyond what we expected. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding so memorable and fun for all our guests. Highly recommend Fotakis!

We could not have asked for a better Wedding DJ than Party Pam. From our first meeting, she was incredibly communicative, understanding of our goals, and flexible. On the day of, she made sure the music was perfect for our ceremony, MC'ed our speeches and cocktail hour to keep us on schedule, and kept the dance floor moving all night. We have heard so many great things from our guests about how much they enjoyed the dance floor! She is also incredibly kind and she helped us get excited and feel supported on our wedding day.
