We were very happy with the band we chose for our wedding. They brought great energy, played a solid mix of music that kept our guests dancing, and added a fun vibe to the night. They were also flexible which i really appreciated. They were willing to work with our unique setup, including performing on a backyard stage we built. Most importantly, they really listened to what we wanted and tailored the music to match the tone we envisioned. Their professionalism and adaptability helped everything go smoothly. We’re really glad we had them as part of our celebration and would definitely recommend them to other couples.

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.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Brandon Bosch from The Celebration DJ at our wedding. His meticulous preparation and professionalism before the event ensured everything ran smoothly. Brandon's ability to keep us on schedule was invaluable, and his flexibility allowed us to effortlessly include an additional speaker during the speeches. The bundle package he provided was fantastic and truly enhanced our venue. The photobooth was a massive hit with our guests, and the sound quality of his equipment was flawless.

Spencer is such an amazing DJ! I have only positive things to say about him. He is calm, organized, structured, kind, and professional. He is able to read the room and adjust accordingly. There were no awkward lulls at our wedding thanks to him. He kept a great flow to both our ceremony and reception. I have never seen so many people dance at a wedding! My friends aren't dancers, so the fact that he got all of them out there was amazing! We gave him a list of songs we liked, and he was able to choose great songs from there. He also kept the dance floor fun and upbeat. He was the most organized person at the wedding. He did the microphones and speakers for our friends who played the violin for the ceremony and the person ordaining. He also did the lighting (which was magical). I cannot even say in words what a great experience we had. All of our guests told us later that he was amazing too!

DJ Stallion (aka Anthony) is one of the best DJs in the business. His vast knowledge of songs and musical genres makes him a one-of-a-kind DJ. I'll never forget a wedding we did together where the groom picked only 90s heavy metal rock as the musical choice. I was mortified as the planner, that it was going to be a terrible celebration with that genre; but DJ Stallion nailed it! He was able to deliver the groom's request and also keep the guests happy and on the dance floor. We've worked together for years and he will always be my first call when looking for a DJ.

Trained by his late father, the legendary DJ TeddyB, music is in his DNA. Every beat he drops carries a legacy of passion, precision, and pure joy.

Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services! I will post more pictures once available.

SF Wedding Violinist

  • Solo performer
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

This is about you-- not about me! Your day, your taste, your style, your passions is where my focus is from our first interaction through the event. I have played on concert stages across the world, with renowned orchestras including the SF Symphony, and with artists including ODESZA, Yandel, Beck, the Eagles, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Sigur Ros, Kygo, Faye Webster and too many others to list. But most of all, I love creating a totally customized and memorable experience for my wedding clients-- I play over 150 weddings a year and am a preferred vendor at SF City Hall, Mountain Terrace, and many other venues.

We couldn't have been happier with SF Wedding Violinist Ilana's services. Her performance was unforgettable and she put us at ease immediately from the very first contact. She clearly has SO much experience and her resume is incredible, she's been onstage with literally all of our favorite artists, everyone from Andrea Bocelli to Kygo, Odesza, Yandel, and even classics like the Eagles and Beck! Her playlist has 1500 songs and counting, plus she takes requests, so we were able to create a totally custom playlist which represented our unique (and very different!) tastes. Her contracting process was easy and her prices seemed like a bargain compared to many of the other vendors we initially reached out to. We hope we can book her again-- or that all of our friends do! Also, we liked that she runs her own business and plays her own bookings, so we weren't just getting a random member of a group managed by someone else who happened to be free that day.

Dj Airsun Aka Ersson Bartle. It’s not a party if people don’t dance. DJ Airsun has been putting people in the mood to groove at parties, events, and clubs since 2011. Airsun’s experience spinning for diverse groups with different tastes means the dancing at weddings and private parties is always a blast and always curated for the people of the hour. “Whether it’s Latin or country, or hip hop or electronic, getting to learn the different styles through new clients, there’s always something new.” Airsun is fluent in an open format, commanding popular music of all eras and styles, so guests of all ages want to get on up and shake it on down.

AJ Airsun did an absolutely wonderful job DJing our wedding and was lovely to work with from start to finish - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! We wanted a dance party, with songs that get everyone up and moving and she definitely delivered. The setup was perfect, even with the ceremony and reception in two different places (one of which was an outdoor park - they tucked the setup behind a tree!), and included really tasteful and fun mood lighting. My husband even told me about a couple last second changes (adding a new song to the processional while we were all lined up ready to go, and wrapping up one of the dances a little early) that she executed perfectly in the moment. Our reception was at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley - a historic building and small town that both have a lot of rules about sound levels, and it all went perfectly while still feeling like a high energy dance party. We can’t thank Ersson enough!

Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!

We had jonny as our dj. We were looking for a bilingual dj in our area. We had difficulty finding someone here locally so we began looking out of state. Jonny’s profile on instagram came up and thought he was a great fit. We talked to chris and he went out of his way to make the travel, the hotel accommodations, and even the dj rentals outside of their own equipment to make our day work! Jonny took part in all of our meetings. They both where great to work with as we went through our song choices, the timelines, and gave us a lot of great advice in how we planned our day. The day of jonny took great care of us. He was there early to set up, got with the event coordinators, and adjusted to any on the spot changes needed. The music was great, as a bilingual couple, the music, the ability to MC and communicate everything in both english and Spanish went by smooth!

Nationwide Wedding DJs - A Better DJ And Photographer did an excellent job at our wedding. Their communication style was clear and reassuring - they asked clarifying questions to ensure they understood our preferences and made us feel confident they would execute everything perfectly. The quality of their work and value was great - the DJ listened closely, paused when needed, and incorporated all the special song requests and event announcements I had provided. They played our special songs at just the right moments and helped our reception flow smoothly with their professionalism. We were thrilled with how Nationwide Wedding DJs contributed to making our wedding day so memorable.

We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Chris Georgios! From start to finish, he absolutely crushed it at our wedding. He read the room perfectly, kept the energy high, and created the exact vibe we were hoping for. Every transition was smooth, every song hit just right, and he truly made the night feel like us. Our guests are still raving AND will continue to, about how fun the dance floor was! Chris was also incredibly professional, extremely personable and easy to work with leading up to the big day. We honestly felt like we had known him for years. He would stop and call me right away if I needed something. He listened to our preferences, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure the timeline flowed seamlessly. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable experience he created. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to throw a party and keep the magic alive all night long, DJ Chris is your guy! We loved YOU!!! P.S. the impromptu "One last breath by Creed" karoke from Walker was a HIT and so fun. - The Andersons
