DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

DJ Dominiq was the DJ for our wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in October 2024, and choosing him was one of the easiest decisions we made. I’m also a wedding planner and have worked with Dominiq for many years on countless weddings, and that long-standing professional relationship is exactly why we chose him for our own wedding. My fiancé is extremely particular about music, especially transitions, flow, and reading the dance floor. We wanted a party that felt elevated, fun, and alive, without the undertone of a corny MC or over-the-top DJ personality. Dominiq absolutely nailed this. The music flowed seamlessly, the energy never dipped, and the dance floor stayed full because he truly knows how to read a room. Even though Dominiq knows us well and has worked with us many times, he still scheduled a final meeting a week prior to the wedding. That meeting meant a lot to us, it showed how much he genuinely listens and cares about understanding each couple’s specific wants and needs. We felt completely heard and confident going into the wedding day. From a professional standpoint, Dominiq is everything you want in a vendor: always on time, always prepared, impeccably dressed, and consistently professional. he also has the best equipment and the best speakers. Coming from a person who works with a lot of DJs. I have very often seen really terrible speakers used at a wedding which means you can’t hear the MC and everything is muffled that was not the case with Dominiq. He brings a calm confidence to every event and elevates the overall experience for both couples and vendors alike. I can honestly say, as both a bride and a wedding planner, I highly recommend DJ Dominiq. He is incredibly talented, reliable, and truly one of the best in the industry.

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! :)

  • Serves Encinitas, 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.

I highly recommend GE production for DJ events! Jimmy was our DJ and he was great. We got a smaller dance floor because they say around 50-70% of the guests are at the dancefloor at a time but my guests were on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone loved the playlist! Jimmy also went above and beyond producing a remix of three songs for the father and bride dance. I was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Jukebox Entertainment Live blends high energy live musicianship with seamless DJ coverage to create unforgettable celebrations and packed dance floors. Live band energy. Seamless DJ flow. Unforgettable weddings.

Do not hesitate...book JukeBox!!!. I promise you will be in the best hands. I was lucky enough to experience JukeBox firsthand at my brother-in-law’s wedding, and I am not exaggerating when I say the band was THE highlight of the night. As a guest, my experience with them was a 10000/10. The range and variety of music, the talent of every single member, and the sheer level of performance brought so much fun and energy to the night. It truly felt like a private concert! Guests were crowding the front of the stage, every age group was dancing, and I genuinely did not want to leave the dance floor. After that night, I knew my husband and I had to have them at our wedding. When it came time to book entertainment, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Now speaking as a bride: Jon, David, and the entire team behind the scenes are professional, kind, responsive, organized, and genuinely wonderful people. Meeting with Jon to plan everything was seamless. We felt comfortable right away, everything was explained clearly, and there were absolutely no surprises. They truly care about giving you the best possible experience and work with you to make your vision come to life. Trust can be hard to come by when you’re wedding planning. You’re spending so much money, and it’s honestly nerve-wracking not knowing if everything will live up to what you’re hoping for — especially with such a huge day on the line. But JukeBox is NOT a vendor you need to second-guess. They are worth every single penny!!! David is an incredible MC who kept the entire evening flowing effortlessly. We incorporated a Filipino money dance into our reception, and I was so unsure about what music to use. David patiently worked through my many emails, helped guide me through the decision, and I never once had to second-guess that it would all come together smoothly. On the wedding day, it was seamless. They are a well oiled machine and they operate so flawlessly and are truly such a driving force to the party!! During the planning process, David was always responsive and attentive, and everything felt completely tailored to us. He even professionally cut and edited our first dance and father-daughter dance songs, and they turned out perfectly. Our dance floor was packed all night long & guests are still talking about how amazing the band was just like they still talk about them from my brother-in-law’s wedding. We cannot recommend JukeBox highly enough. They made our wedding reception unforgettable and truly brought our dream celebration to life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We could not recommend him more highly.

I recently hired San Diego Music Group to play at my wedding and they performed for my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I had the quartet perform classical music (the 4 seasons, Mozart, etc) for the prelude, and chose custom music for the ceremony. The best memory I have is having the violinist perform a custom arrangement of a very special song to me for my first dance as a couple. I strongly recommend!!!

We were blown away by the combination of the DJ and live jazz trio at our wedding! The jazz trio set the perfect tone during our cocktail hour with beautiful, classy music, and the DJ kept the energy going all night at the reception. The transitions between the live band and DJ were seamless, and they both knew exactly how to read the crowd. They made the entire evening unforgettable, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with DJ Steve! We knew that music was going to be such an important part of our day! He provided us with an app that let us add playlists from Apple music, spotify, youtube or select individual songs for each part of our day. It was extremely straight forward and easy to use. He got the dance floor going and played the songs we had selected in such a fun way, our dance floor was packed the entire time and the vibe was amazing! Steve was so amazing to work with and we had multiple people afterwards say how amazing the DJ was. I would definitely suggest Steve for your wedding!

San Diego born and raised DJ! When I first started DJing with my Dad, the things most important to us were music and customer experience. To this day, as I continue to plan and MC events, music, and customer service continue to be a cornerstone of my business. Throughout this past year, I spent a lot of my time speaking with families, friends, past and future clients, vendors, and business professionals. I learned that it’s best to be proactive rather than reactive. I dedicate myself to help in any way I can! We are devoted to providing great service in the industry!

Danny was so helpful throughout the whole process ! My husband and I were both deployed and he understood how to communicate the best with us ! He really was the most helpful and valuable there ! Loved the music and how he introduced our families and even had a photo booth that everybody was having fun with ! HIGHLH RECOMMEND !

DJ Tigerlily California

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

San Diego’s premier female DJ & MC, getting shorty fire-burning on the dance floor since 2012! With her exceptional skills in DJing and MCing, she has become the go-to choice for all types of events, ranging from elegant weddings to large corporate events, intimate house parties to dancy bars and clubs. You will typically catch DJ Tigerlily mixing between hiphop, pop, rock, house, electro, funk, disco, and latin tracks, old school to the new. No two playlists are ever the same with this DJ as she thoughtfully prepares for each event based off her client's musical tastes and later builds off the crowd's reaction.

Lily DJ-ed at our wedding in May 2024, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was friendly, responsive, organized, and clearly had a lot of valuable experience in the industry. She did an amazing job using our playlist as inspiration to keep everyone on the dance floor. She read the dance floor really well, making adjustments quickly to maintain the right energy. The vibes were great (all thanks to her!!), and many of our guests made it a point to let us know she did a great job. A friend even said DJ Tiger Lily was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding, which was a high compliment! We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!
