As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working with DJ Tye & Mike from Endless Summer DJs for Bailey and Tyler’s October wedding at Franciscan Gardens and they were absolutely fantastic! They brought the best energy to the day, with a perfectly curated playlist that had guests dancing all night long. Their positive vibes and ability to read the room kept the party going and created an unforgettable atmosphere.

When I say Christina is the best I truly mean it. We came across a L rock entertainment a week before our wedding after another DJ. Double booked us. From my first call with Christina she knew exactly the vibe we wanted and included not only our music but her spin on music as well. From the ceremony to the reception, she kept everybody on their toes with the music. As soon as it was dancing time, I don’t think anybody left the floor. Thank you so much for saving us on our special day. If you want to have the best DJ, please contact L rock entertainment, she won’t disappoint

As a fellow wedding professional, I cannot recommend Tempoe Entertainment DJs enough. From the moment they arrive for setup to the final song of the night, their team operates with a level of precision and energy that is rare in this industry. What sets them apart isn't just their ability to read a room—though they are masters at keeping a dance floor packed—it’s their seamless communication with the rest of the vendor team. They understand the flow of a wedding perfectly, ensuring that every transition is polished and every announcement is clear. When Tempoe is behind the booth, I know the timeline will be respected, the atmosphere will be electric, and the couple will be thrilled.

Heartbeat Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Carlsbad, CA
  • DJ

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.

He put together the best playlist for our ceremony, we asked him for instrumental emo music and he absolutely nailed it!

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 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.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. 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!

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I love what I do. I aim to make each event feel personal, fun, and real. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to 1,000+ guests. As a musician and performer, I bring a creative approach to my DJing. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure you and your guests are having a great time from start to finish. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures and have even DJed weddings internationally. I read the room, keep things flowing, set the vibe and make sure the night feels like you.

We are so glad we booked Michael. Music is really important to my husband and me, and after talking to around 10 different DJs, no one stood out the way he did. As soon as we spoke with Michael from Holmes Entertainment, we knew he was the one. He is easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. Working with him was just easy. He is organized and made the whole planning process feel simple and low stress. Anytime we had a question or needed to change something, he was quick to respond and easy to get a hold of. On the wedding day, he was so good on the mic. He kept everyone hyped, made our grand entrance so much fun, and kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Michael. We would absolutely book him again for another event in the future.

He got the dance floor going and played the songs we had selected in such a fun way, our dance floor was packed the entire time and the vibe was amazing!

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.

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!!

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!

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!!!!

Alicia and Chris (of Virginia James music) were truly incredible. They made our special day so magical with the music they sang and played. All of our guests separately commented on how amazing they were. They did such a great rendition of our wedding song as well which they learned just for us! They both complement each other so well musically. Aside from the music, they were also a complete pleasure to work with, professional from the get go and made planning such a breeze. We are definitely going to use them again if we ever have another need for live music in the future.
