The Celebration DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (41 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Carpinteria, CA
  • Offer

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon was an outstanding DJ who supported our wedding this last February. I loved that he had outfit options, as our wedding was themed "Love Through the Ages" and we requested all of our guests to wear attire from their favorite decade. It was fabulous that we were able to pick his super awesome outfit to stand out (and in theme) for the wedding. He curated the most amazing playlist, based on our theme, so we got to drift through music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and all the way through to current day. He is such a charismatic and engaging host and was able to convince folks (who I never thought would have danced) to get onto the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Brandon's talents and feel so grateful that The Knot had him on their vendor list for us to find.

First of all, the booking process with AZBESTDJ Team was a breeze . We booked directly with DJ Daniel, the owner and team leader of AZBESTDJ Team. About a month before our wedding, he let us know he would personally be our DJ on our big day which made us even more excited. A few weeks before the wedding, Daniel took the time to go over our music ideas, from the ceremony to the dance floor. On our wedding day, he timed our processional music perfectly and gave a heartfelt introduction before my dad's toast that meant a lot to our family. If you want a DJ who truly listens, cares about the details, and puts your music first, we highly recommend AZBESTDJ Team.

Working with Ryan (DJ Tempoe), Joe, and Marlon from Tempoe Entertainment DJs was such an amazing experience from beginning to end. As a wedding planner, I work with my fair share of wedding vendors, and it's easy to tell early on which ones are not only professional and skilled at what they do, but also friendly, kind, and easygoing good people to work with. From the beginning, Ryan and Joe were both so communicative and responsive, making all the pre-event planning a breeze. On the wedding day, Ryan, Joe, and Marlon all brought such professionalism and good energy to the day that kept the bride and groom, all their guests, as well as all us fellow vendors calm and at ease throughout the event - even when faced with some unique challenges. 10/10 I highly recommend hiring Tempoe Entertainment for all your DJ/MC, officiating, and photobooth needs - you'll be happy you did! :)

In just over a decade, Hecktik has established himself as one of Santa Barbara County’s most skilled and popular turntablist and club DJ. Hecktik’s combined experienced as a radio show producer and large venue performer has helped solidify his reputation as a high energy and professional talent. From the studio to the stage, Hecktik has performed and recorded with hip hop legends like Too Short and GZA from Wu Tang Clan.

DJ Hecktik (Josh) was the absolute man. We gave him a list of songs, and he did the rest. His transition skills are the stuff of legends. He had the dance floor rocking all night! He's very versatile too. He switched from oldies to throwback rap bangers to slow dance songs seamlessly! Everyone kept saying "the DJ is killing it". He's also just genuinely a good dude! I felt very comfortable on calls with him and was very happy to have him MC my wedding day. If you are lucky enough to book DJ Hecktik, I cannot recommend enough!

When planning our wedding at Glen Annie Golf Course in Goleta, CA, we knew that having a great DJ would be instrumental for the day of. Justin was a recommended DJ from our venue, and was also recommended by our photographer during one of our meetings. Immediately after that call ended, we looked at Justin's website and knew that he was exactly what we were looking for. His website was super easy to use, and his custom music he has on display was a great insight on what he could do. Justin was extremely helpful, polite, and incredibly efficient. There wasn't anything we as the bride and groom had to worry about in regards to announcements, music, etc. He not only catered to our music selection with great variety, but continued to read the room as the night went on. All of our guests spoke highly of the DJ and how much fun they had on the dance floor, and it's something we will forever cherish! 5 stars is not enough to showcase just how amazing and dedicated he is. If you're looking for a DJ for a wedding or any special event, Justin is absolutely the man for you.

We had a great experience working with DJ Joe and cannot recommend his services enough! From the very beginning we got great vibes from Joe and did not feel embarrassed to tell him about some of our silly music choices. Joe kept the dance floor alive all night and was professional and quick when it came to answering any questions we had throughout the process. He was able to help my husband set up and sound check for a surprise live music performance he gave for the reception and was able to keep it a surprise for me as well. Joe also was very prepared for working with our videographers and offered to set up a tripod for my maid of honor who ended up not being able to make it so we could FaceTime her. Thanks so much for everything Joe!

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!

With all the energy and hype of a live band and the flexibility of a DJ, you won’t have to decide between hiring a band or a DJ for your next event or wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Golden Bell traveled to New Orleans to play my wedding, and they put on the set of our dreams. We skipped all of the expected wedding songs and handed them a playlist of all of our favorite disco and funk songs (with a sprinkling of Phish jams) and they delivered an absolutely mind-blowing set. I pretty much missed the rest of my reception because I was on the dance floor All. Night. Long. (Please see photos below of me LOSING MY MIND). Our wedding was 8 months ago (yes, this review is super late) and people are STILL making comments about how good the music at our wedding was. If you are a funk/ disco fan, hire Golden Bell. If you are a Phish fan, hire Golden Bell. If you can’t decide between a band and a DJ, hire Golden Bell. If you want your wedding to be a vibe unlike all the other weddings, hire Golden Bell. Just hire them. It was epic. No notes.

We danced for 4 hours straight and the dance floor was constantly packed.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Seth from Vital Event Group for our September wedding, and he exceeded every expectation! From the start, Seth’s professionalism and easy-going nature made the planning process stress-free. His use of the Vibo app was such a game-changer—it allowed us to easily upload our song selections and ceremony/reception timeline details, making communication and organization effortless. We gave Seth just a handful of songs to set the vibe, and he curated an incredible playlist that perfectly matched the energy we wanted. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to the dance floor—when guests weren’t feeling a particular track, Seth quickly pivoted and got everyone back on their feet. By the end of the night, the energy was sky-high, and our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had! On top of all that, Seth’s DJ booth setup was sleek and clean, and we loved being able to display our photos and videos on his screen—it added such a personal and unique touch to the night. We can’t recommend Seth and Vital Event Group enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, adaptable, and truly knows how to keep the party alive, Seth is the one! Thanks Seth!!
