Manny and his team were amazing. Before the wedding he made sure to ask if we wanted specific songs for different parts of the ceremony and reception. We didn’t have a ton of specific songs, but we made a list of music with the vibes we wanted. Manny took the list, ran with it, and really took care of us. The dance floor was packed all night! He even played Tagalog pop songs and managed sound for a Filipino folk dance group. We also loved the little details like the template for our photo booth photos, the lights for the dance floor, and our initials projected on the wall. Thank you Bay Pro DJs, we’re so glad that you were there to help make our wedding so special.

Ashley and her team from Fog City were absolutely amazing to work with! As a wedding vendor, it's not every day that you get to work with DJs who are communicative, organized, timely, and fun, and Ashely had all of those qualities. She communicated before the event, was early the day-of, was completely setup and ready to go without me having to ask, knew what was coming up next on the timeline, and was super flexible with any changes that needed to happen. She was always right on cue and did an amazing job getting the guests to join the dancefloor and give everyone that great experience they're hoping for at the end of the night. I heard so many positive comments from guests throughout the night about her and she really went above and beyond to make sure the couple and guests were having a good time. She was also prepared for last minute requests (additional mics, etc.). I can't recommend Ashley enough, go hire her right now!!! - Kaci Danae Events

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so glad we hired Spencer to DJ our wedding! He handled the audio for the wedding ceremony itself, MC’d the reception, played the music for the dancing, and also provided uplighting for the event space. Everything he worked on just went smoothly. The audio for the ceremony was high quality and just worked. He did a great job as MC, staying on time, announcing what was happening, and making everyone feel welcome. He did fantastically with the music too - we had a few specific requests, and he nailed them all, but most of the night we gave only vague instructions and he made a ton of great picks, keeping energy high on the dance floor. The uplighting he provided was beautiful as well and really elevated the space! Throughout the process, he was easy to work with, timely, communicated proactively, and was always on top of every little detail. We’d definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

Golden Bell is AWESOME! My partner and I hired them for our wedding at Stern Grove October 15th, 2022. We wanted both the flexibility of choosing our own music as well as the sound of live music, and they are the perfect combination! I was stunned how they listened to our whole playlist and learned the beats and also mixed them to add drums, trumpet and sax! Just WOW. So many of our guests commented on how awesome they were and how much fun they had dancing. We really didn't want all the classic wedding songs, and they honored that, as well as the playlist we gave to them, and put in their own artistic creation to create such a fun dance party! They were also incredibly professional and prompt in communication up to the event. All around excellent!

Music is everything. It’s your history, your identity, and your joy. It’s what moves you on the dance floor and what moves you to tears. Quite simply: it’s the most important decision you’ll make at your wedding. All Ears DJ is a premier entertainment group that boasts a ten-deep crew of highly-skilled DJs and musicians. Don’t settle for anything less than a DJ who can wow audiences with perfect blends, mashups and song selections. Talent matters, and All Ears DJs have shown up & showed out at more than 1000 weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area during the past decade.

cking a proper DJ for my wedding was probably what I was most nervous about, but I’m glad we found Richard because he killed it. We strayed a bit from the stereotypical wedding songs and instead went straight into party mode after our first dances. Richard kept the dance floor shaking until 1 am and blended our suggestions and “must plays” seamlessly with other bangers from his repertoire. If house, disco, booty bangers, and crowd pleasers is your jam, Richard has you covered. His communication was also always prompt leading up to the event and delivered the professional you’d expect.

When good isn’t good enough and your worst fear is getting that cheesy DJ that your guests don’t like or won’t remember, Sounds Elevated is here to help!

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include: -He played solo guitar for our ceremony -Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour -Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception -Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw) -DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception - stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception). He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost two years since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

What if community and relationships were built around intentional connection, curated music & environment with high energy and loads of fun? With a combination of professionalism and personality, I seek to create an experience that creates lifelong memories and a lasting impression on everyone I work with.

My husband and I have been to wedding with pretty corny djs with an affinity to clear their own dancefloors, which is the exact opposite of what we wanted. Ardi did EVERYTHING right: he understood that he had a strict pool of desired songs; he was flexible and communicative through the craziness of wedding day; he read the room well and kept the energy up for everyone at all time;s; and he played just enough of the best parts of every song. I can’t recommend him enough and I’m trying to make up an excuse/occasion just to hire him again.

Their sound is unique, upbeat, and their song selection is incredible - our guests are still raving about them. Charles made the process super easy and was very patient. He ensured that everything was taken care of from the ceremony (acoustic guitar, microphones and audio equipment for our officiant), to the cocktail hour (a trio), and reception (full band). We feel so lucky that this talented group was available to help us dance the night away. If you're looking for a band that hits all the right notes (literally) and sets the mood for an unforgettable event, look no further.

To have the latest and hottest music is a must for me, due to the fact that this is my full-time job and average 2-4 events per week. I'm also a bilingual M.C. (English/Spanish) who knows how to make all the announcements, entertain, and coordinate your event if needed. Visit my social media and see client reviews and the work I've done. Weddings, Sweet 16's, Night Clubs, Sports Bars, Festivals, Grand Openings, School Events, Birthdays. You name it; I've done it all!

We found DJ Erick V on a FB wedding page and we’re so happy we did! He was quick to respond, he worked with our schedule, and had great packages to offer. We found it pretty difficult to find an English/Spanish DJ In fear of a DJ playing too much English or too much Spanish but DJ Erick V was on point. He played the perfect balance and I swear, everyone one of our guest touched the dance floor. He followed our schedule, our playlist request, and everything he threw in between was more than we can ask for. He was there on time and had everything set up accordingly. I also want to mention he was a FUN MC who got our guest to interact and created a lively vibe for our big day. Our venue was pretty big but his lights looked amazing around the room. If we had to do our wedding again, we would hire DJ Erick V all over again and recommend him to anyone.

We're live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We're here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Lucky Devils are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Visit our website for upcoming showcase dates where you can see the band perform LIVE before booking. You can also tailor the dream band to suit your style and budget. Reach out to get started! We also offer Photo-Video services!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding two years ago, we agreed right away that we both wanted a live band for the reception - it was the most important thing for both of us, as we knew we wanted that kind of energy in the room. As we researched bands (mostly through wedding-themed websites like Wedding Wire and The Knot), we came across the Lucky Devils Band and saw all of their good reviews. There are a lot of other bands you can find in and around Los Angeles, but they had one really big advantage that most other bands didn’t - regularly scheduled showcases where you could see them perform live. LDB were actually the first band we seriously considered, but we still did our due diligence and looked into a lot of other bands. We said to each other - we can’t just book the first band we find! Well, we ended up doing just that, and it was the best decision we made! Not only do they make it easy for couples to come see them live, they are also talented, professional, and truly affordable. Mike Smirnoff, the musician/producer who was our main point of contact was super responsive, friendly, and remembered us from early on (we ended up attending a lot of their showcases because we just enjoyed hearing them live!). The small downside to the band is that because they are essentially a collective, you won’t necessarily know which musicians will be playing on the day of your event, however, Mike took into account all of our specific requests for certain members we saw at each of their showcases, and he secured everyone that we had wanted. We had a six-piece band, which included two versatile musician/singers (Andrew on guitar & vocals, and Jason on keyboard and vocals) so we got the most bang for our buck. Kaitlyn was amazing on vocals, and Mark was killer on sax, with Dimitri on bass and Mike himself on drums rounding out the band. We got SO many compliments from our guests all night long - including from his parents, who are VERY picky about music, and from other friends who are composers/musicians themselves. Our wedding was in March, right as the pandemic panic was kicking into high gear - and we were very stressed about the cancellations and our own fears, but when the music started playing, we forgot about all of it and danced until we couldn’t feel our feet. We highly recommend the Lucky Devils Band to all couples!! Get yourselves to a showcase and see for yourselves how great they are!!

  • Serves El Cerrito, CA for additional fees

Tiger (aka Dj Ceviche) started music appreciation lessons at the age of 3 and has continued with professional music production, performance, composition, blogging, curation, and djing for the last 3 decades. His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

We’ve all heard horror stories about the DJ ruining the wedding with bad song choices, inability to emcee, and poor timing, leading to a disjointed event. However, Tiger is the antithesis of this nightmare. He's a master of his craft, blending musical expertise with exceptional emceeing skills. From our first meeting, Tiger demonstrated a deep understanding of our musical taste and the wedding's flow. He curated a playlist that was not only reflective of us as a couple but also resonated with our guests of all ages. Tiger's skill in reading the room was unparalleled. He knew exactly when to ramp up the energy or tone it down, ensuring the dance floor was never empty. His transitions between songs were seamless, and his ability to mix different genres was remarkable. He also had a keen sense of timing, perfectly aligning songs with key moments of our wedding, like the first dance and cake cutting. What set Tiger apart was his emceeing. He wasn't just a DJ playing songs; he was a central figure in moving our wedding along. His announcements were clear, concise, and always delivered with an appropriate tone, whether it was excitement, humor, or sentimentality. Tiger's professionalism was evident throughout. He arrived early, set up his high-quality equipment without fuss, and coordinated well with other vendors. He was also incredibly accommodating, adjusting to last-minute changes with ease and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Tiger is a phenomenal DJ who played a pivotal role in making our day memorable. He's a talented artist with a knack for understanding his audience, an expert emcee, and a consummate professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend him to any couple looking for the perfect musical backdrop for their wedding.
