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

Spencer was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. His communication and website is so clear, he follows a helpful timeline, and he knows what questions to ask to make your wedding run smoothly. At our wedding, Spencer was professional, kind, and calm. His guitar playing is stunning and his DJing was perfect. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him. We wish we could get married again just to re-do the party :) If you are going to hire a DJ and/or guitarist, hire from Sutherland Entertainment!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Golden Bell for our wedding in the Bay Area earlier this month. We can't say enough positive things -- Marlon was our lead DJ/drummer - he and the other two musicians were amazing. Our guests loved them and had an outstanding time. It was exactly what my husband and I were hoping it would be. Marlon did an incredible job beforehand, talking through the type of music we liked and wanted to hear. He also gave us some great advice and assured us he could flex if the dancers weren't feeling a song, and easily move on to something else. The night of they were on point, and Marlon was super responsive when I asked him to play a certain artist or song. If we ever have another big party, we will for sure bring them on.

We love to share the fun, complexity, and intimacy of chamber music with new audiences.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wedding in July 2019 and wanted to have live music played at the ceremony and cocktail hour. Bay Area Strings did not disappoint. Jen Mathers was highly responsive during the process and very easy to communicate throughout the planning process, which goes a long way. She provided us with a list of songs the group would be able to play for us, samples of performances, and a list of options for ensemble. We chose a string quartet and the pricing was very reasonable. We had requested a song that wasn't on the playlist and Jen had the ensemble learn the sheet music - beyond thrilled! The music was breathtaking and our wedding ceremony would not have been the same without the group's performance. Looking back at our wedding day, the live music is something we will always remember, thanks to Jen and Bay Area Strings.
