Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important things for us was having a wedding reception where the dance floor was full and people were having a great time all night long. We were worried about finding a DJ who could pull that off, but DJ Sammy was the definition of perfection. Our pre-call with him was amazing, and we could tell he understood the vibe we were going for. We felt confident going into the night, but even our highest expectations were blown away with the way he ensured that everyone had a great time. I picked up on a few tricks of the trade he does that I’ve never seen another DJ do before, and they made a huge difference compared to other weddings I’ve been to. He even took the time to do a special cut in one of the songs we requested, which blew me away with his attention to detail. Although I’m limited to 5 stars in this review, I would literally give him every single star in every single solar system in the sky for how happy we were with his DJing services. Hire him, and rest assured that your evening will be perfect.

We booked Conner and his live saxophone player for our wedding in July and they were a HIT! Conner has such an awesome portfolio of experience he is truly changing the reputation of what it means to be a wedding DJ. He does so much more. He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Descanso, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carolyn was a god send for us in so many ways. We recently had a very DIY wedding with 120 guests, so as you can imagine there was a TON of work involved. Carolyn was with us every step of the way, from booking vendors, negotiating contracts, to-do lists, timeline and floorplans, you name it. But where she really shined is once we were there with her on the property. We had a million little details to think about and Carolyn was on top of it all. Many times before I even had to ask. She gave us the capability to actually relax and enjoy ourselves in the days leading up to the wedding, which we expected we would have had to be working the whole time. We were blown away by her hustle and work ethic, and even more-so, how she maintained a super positive attitude throughout it all. She was a delight to work with and helped us throw the wedding of our dreams. The same goes for her assistant! Amazing! There's so much more I can say, but just know, she is a true pro through and through and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her.

We planned a backyard wedding with about 4 weeks notice to vendors. Joy was quick to respond that she was available and I couldn’t have been more grateful! Her style was just what I was looking for- me, but slightly glammed up. Joy communicated her arrival and was on time! She was so gracious and considerate of the home we had our wedding in, she was lovely with my 7 year old daughter, she asked my thoughts every step of the way (seeing as we didn’t have a trial run), she interacted with my bridesmaids and the hairstylist with so much ease and comfortability! 10/10 would recommend Joy for any special occasion!!

Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with Stacy on several events, and she is hands down my favorite planner to work with. She’s incredibly communicative throughout the process, which makes everything flow seamlessly — not just for the couple, but for the entire vendor team. Stacy has a real gift for creating and managing timelines that actually work, which takes a ton of stress off everyone’s shoulders.

She’s passionate about wedding dresses and always makes sure her brides look absolutely gorgeous.

What a wonderful day and a more awesome team to work with :) Abbey catering was beyond amazing and blew our expectations! From the start Will, who signed us up, was most helpful and really knew his information. We clicked instantly and it was such a pleasure to talk with him and meet him in person. We signed up for the tasting before signing with Abbey Catering and that was such a great experience. We got to meet Will in person and there was so much food to try and luckily bring home. After meeting Will we really had a great feeling and signed up within that week. The food was incredible at the tasting, and it was hard choosing which entrée and hours d’oeuvres to choose from since everything was so good. Chuck, our wedding coordinator, was beyond great and so helpful. He was such an asset to have on our side and really made the day go smooth. He was also so friendly and great to work with. We really felt like we made friends with our Abbey team. There were absolutely no hiccups whatsoever and I was so calm the whole day. David, our catering lead, was another amazing team member. He was right there to offer us food first and make sure we had enough of our share. The rest of the catering team always made us a priority too and I was very hungry after the ceremony in between pictures so that was so great. We ordered the following for tray passed hors d’oeuvres: petite beef wellington, wild mushroom arancini, bruschetta, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. We opted for the dual entrée of the boneless short ribs, and the panko-herb crusted chicken with vegetables and the truffle smashed potatoes. All were so good and I wish I could eat them all again. Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They even made dietary restriction meals for several of our guests, and they said it was one of the best vegan/vegetarian meals they have ever had. We really were impressed with the food and so glad we went with Abbey as that was important for us to have really good tasting food. We opted for the whole package with their vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer, and cake. Best decision ever!!! We had Emerald and Ivy for the florist and my goodness Mishele, and the Abbey team put together exactly what I pictured in my mind! Such beautiful flowers and we rented bud vases and candles from her. DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for. The dance floor was a hit, and our guests were dancing the whole night. Everyone was telling us the DJ was so good! Misha, our photographer, was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful! The cake and mini cupcakes from Sugar Bears Sweet Provisions were out of this world! I’m so glad we saved our wedding cake because we ate it the next day. Our guests loved the mini cupcakes too and we even had enough to give out at treats and take home. We really are so grateful we decided to go with Abbey catering. They really went above and beyond. The whole team, Will, Chuck, David, and the caterers were 10 out of 10 Thank you so much and to the Abbey vendors for making our day even more special!

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ayleen did my makeup for my wedding day and she did a phenomenal job. She made me feel so beautiful and her products are high end. I trusted her enough to not do a trial session before the wedding day and she didn’t disappoint. I had a really great experience with her and she made me feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to have her do my makeup for my graduation again. Thank you Ayleen!

Kate truly goes above and beyond in every sense. From our very first point of contact through the day of our wedding, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and exceptionally organized. Communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring, and she consistently made us feel supported throughout the entire process. I’m very Type A and deeply involved in everything I do, so trusting someone else with the details does not come easily for me. Kate earned that trust completely. She handled every detail with such care and professionalism that everything ran seamlessly, allowing me to fully let go and be present on our wedding day. Her calm, steady presence made all the difference, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our experience. We are so grateful for her dedication and would recommend Kate without hesitation to anyone looking for a coordinator who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional at what she does.
