  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300

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.

DJ Ray was phenomenal!! He kept the party going all night long! I couldn’t have picked a better DJ to share on our special day. He read the crowd very well and he played the right songs at the right time. If I ever have another major event, I will definitely be booking with him!

With our online planning portal, event day add-ons and a range of personalized extended services you have the tools to seamlessly organize every detail, from pre-ceremony to grand exit, making your dream wedding a reality.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

DJ Pat was incredible. The app he used to help us come up with the playlist was very easy to use, and made it easier to come up with a playlist that we wanted. Choosing the music was one of the more stressful parts of planning the wedding, but Pat made it much easier for us. He also had most of the wedding on the dance floor for most of the wedding, and surprised my bride and I by choosing a blink 182 song for the last song, and had the entire wedding on the dance floor for it. Best day of my life, and DJ Pat was a huge part of it. Thank you!!

Golden Bell was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Original versions of songs but accompanied by the energy of live instruments. Golden Bell was professional and communicative from start to finish and our guests have been raving about them ever since the wedding. If you book them, you will find that your guests who don’t normally like to dance or stay until the end of a reception will be on their feet the whole time with huge grins on their faces. My wife and I could not have been happier with how things turned out.

We hired DJ Kaleb to DJ our wedding and reception. We couldn't imagine a more seamless process. From the beginning, Kaleb was very communicative, very open to any ideas we had, and really enjoyable and fun to work with. He let us give him a solidified list of songs along with our full wedding vibe (funky/disco). Kaleb understood the assignment. He played all of the songs we really wanted to hear while also finding some other songs that fit our vibes to a T....also made sure he didn't play songs we didn't want to hear. We asked him if he could give our wedding guests certain queue's and guide the wedding on the mic...the day before, we even asked him to say a few things word for word on the microphone. He did just that and absolutely killed it. Dancing DJ productions was a very communicative, organized, and professional company throughout...plus had a very competitive price. Thanks so much for making our big day so special and groovy!

GE Productions is the industry leader in California. We have an elite team of three DJs who combine over 40 years of experience. We define professionalism and separate ourselves from the competition with our dedication to achieving the clients vision. Our detailed and step by step process ensures that at the end of the day we exceed all expectations by creating everlasting memories. Our awards and reputation are unparalleled, however without amazing, energetic clients and their guests who LOVE to dance, we are nothing.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I've worked with GE Productions on countless weddings for years. He consistently delivers professional, customized service and cares for each of his clients. In his planning process, DJ Jimmy Grizzley is incredibly thorough regarding song selection for the most important moments of the wedding day. During the event, he will never push play on a playlist and step away from his DJ station. He curates music and actively mixes it together on site keeping energy high and your guests on the dance floor. He works well with other vendors following timelines meticulously. As the coordinator hired for Alex M's wedding (see below), I'm confused by the disappointment expressed. Alex's guests danced the entire reception. The cake cutting was both announced, staged, documented, and well-attended. He played their special song during the process as well. These clients were challenging, but DJ Jimmy Grizzley knocked it out of the park as usual!

Brian is AMAZING!! He started the party from the get go. I'm at a loss for words with how awesome he is, all of our guests were obsessed with him and said he was a highlight of the wedding. He is a great person outside of how well he plays the sax and truly took his time to make it perfect. He executed everything exactly how I visioned. Will be hiring him for events in the future.

He's done cocktail hour (piano & singing) as well as playing throughout dinner... its unreal how talented he is. REALLY COOL - I've seen him do live renditions of whatever the couple chooses for their first dance and/or parent dances and he even has the ability to change a few words to make them unique or more applicable to the couple's love story. Can't reccomend this guy enough!

We even had one friend tell us that, after this, he would refuse to go to a wedding without a live band again. Rewind! was super warm and professional, but also in our budget in these crazy inflation times. They even worked with us to create some special touches, which made it all the more memorable.

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.

We hired About Music Pro for our February 2020 wedding and it was the best vendor decision we made in terms of professionalism, communication, organization, and results. We loved working with Gary throughout the planning process and he was professional, friendly, down-to-earth and honest. We met with him in person and communicated via email and text. He was always quick to respond and thorough in his responses. We also loved working with Gary and his band on the day of our wedding. We decided to skip our sendoff just so we could keep dancing! I honestly can't say enough good things. Do yourself a favor and book these guys for your event! Gary acted as our emcee and DJ, plus bandleader for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was smooth and professional, and the music was so amazingly perfect for us throughout the reception and into the dance party. Our guests of all ages had a blast - people couldn't stop talking about how great the music was! Thank you!! :)

Mama Said Entertainment

San Diego, CA
  • Band or Ensemble

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations. This approach has allowed the 80'z All-Stars and MSE to flourish for 20+ years.

Awarded Best of Zola
This is an incredible band to work with and I highly recommend them. This is a talented group of musicians that can fill a dance floor. The energy level is fantastic and they know how to get the crowd moving. They know how to read a crowd and to keep the party going.

Offering jazz, blues, Latin, funk, soul, dance, and instrumentals of pop and rock favorites, Kevin loves entertaining and starting the party with his big sax sound and professional backing tracks.

Kevin has been able to play for us on multiple occasions and each time he has knocked it out of the park, he played "Perfect - Ed Sheeran" when we got married at the San Diego Courthouse as a surprise for us. It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it! He is extremely professional and worked with us to make sure that his performance matched our vision. He also played during cocktail hour and did a great job with our guests and playing amazing music!

We are so happy to have had Fred at our wedding. He offered to let us use his PA system and in the stress leading up to the ceremony he was a true professional, everything was set up before I (the groom) arrived. Everything worked and it was one less thing to worry about, which was more comforting than I would have expected while I waited nervously. The music he played was wonderful and he seemed so happy to be there to play for us. He was accommodating and a very pleasant guest. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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.

Ohh friends, look no further! Preston and his company is nothing but the best! He's prepared, punctual, dresses for the job (this one matters to me!), and is the personality you want on your big day! Despite his clear talents, he is a top notch human being. I've loved that he doesn't like to takeover. He does an incredible job, but it's always very clear it's the couples party, not his. You don't want to say, "I wish we booked him", just do it! :) You won't regret it!

We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context).

Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

I needed a DJ for my wedding and 949 Studio was the perfect DJ. Michael, the owner, always takes the initiative to reach out to me to make sure I got everything I needed before my big day. His responses are quick and are within 24 hours. I felt at peace knowing that things will be handled when my wedding day comes. I didn't have to worry and Michael made sure I knew that. And because of these reasons, I strongly recommend Michael "949 Studio" to be your DJ for any events. Matt (MC) and Brian (DJ) were assigned to be a part of my wedding day team. Both were welcoming and both were filled with energy. They made my wedding very memorable. The guests enjoyed the music and vibe. Thanks to them, my wedding day just gotten much better.

As a lot of my fellow brides know, wedding planning during a pandemic (and immediately following a pandemic) is exhausting and even depressing. It can really put a damper on things. Enter Seth! From my first video conference with him I knew he would be the DJ we wanted to hire. He is so friendly and helpful and informative and he really helped to get me excited about the big day. He also designed and utilizes a great app for couples to choose all of their songs for every special moment. He was great on the day of our wedding and did a great job as MC and pumped up our guests for dancing. If ever we need a DJ in the future, we will definitely be calling on Seth. We couldn't be happier!

We originally discovered www.azbestdj.com through a Google search and got those good vibes when we did a 15 minute video chat before we booked. After we booked, Working with our DJ was a breeze—super chill and gave us total confidence in planning our ceremony and reception music to our taste. The wedding dance floor was a hit, and the music was absolutely fantastic. We hit a minor snag at the first 5 or 10 seconds start of the ceremony with the wireless microphone acting up, but our DJ swiftly pulled out a second backup mic. Just 30 seconds into our pastor speaking, our DJ made the mic swap, and everything flowed smoothly. Major props for having that second backup and being on top of things!

Our beached theme wedding ceremony in Coronado would not have been complete without the absolutely superb performance of DJ Trey. My now wife and I thoroughly researched to find a DJ with the skillset to entertain our eclectic guest at our wedding reception, at a seafood restaurant in Coronado. Based on the positive reviews and experience, we selected DJ Trey Money. From the very initial conversations with Trey he was very professional, organized and listened intently to our requests to customize a playlist that fit our special occasion perfectly. From the background music during the cocktail hour, to the songs that inspired guests to hit the dance floor during the dancing portion, all of our guests couldn't stop singing and dancing along to their favorite songs. It was obvious that our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music selections. On several occasions, guests approached us and complimented the DJ's epic performance and excellent delivery on music choice. If you are looking for a DJ for your special event, I highly recommend DJ Trey to deliver the exact experience you are looking for.

DJ Shane was amazing! He helped create the perfect mood and soundtrack for our big day, was super professional and personable at each step, and I couldn't be more happy! He had the best attitude, played the best songs, at the best time, and even got through a few of our crazy traditions (the dabke dance and soul train dance off). Sadly (or happily?), we won't be getting married again but, if we did, we'd 100% choose DJ Shane and Dash again.

Keith was able to deliver excellent sound ,MC services, and a great time during my outdoor wedding a a thunderstorm! I was worried my vendors would leave when we got caught in a rare desert rain storm in Joshua tree. Although, Keith was understandably concerned about his equipment he stuck around a played all of our favorite songs. He has an online portal to input all of you song choices for ceremony and reception but I would recommend scheduling a call after putting in all that information. I unfortunately, waiting to the last minutes to put everything on the portal and I think I could have communicated better on a call or video chat. My wedding day did not go as planned but it was the best day of my life and everyone had a blast! I owe that Keith and the rest of my vendors who stayed in spite of wet clothes and flash flooding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before choosing Makai, my partner and I watched videos of at least a dozen DJs. Based on the energy and interactions we saw from Makai, we knew he was the one for us and our wedding day. From our first video call with him, we knew we had struck gold. What was meant to be a one hour zoom call turned into three hours of laughing and sharing stories as if we were old friends who had been separated by time. Makai was patient at every step in our process. He came prepared - he provided us a very helpful packet which enabled us to better organize our event. My partner and I did have many of our own ideas, and Makai graciously worked with every single idea of ours. When our ideas were incomplete or needed tweaking, he came up with creative solutions that incorporated our wants and his experience. After getting off our zoom call with Makai, my partner and I shared a big sigh of relief. In months of planning, most things had been stressful, but working with Makai felt almost too easy. We were very well taken care of. On the day of our event, Makai was early. Makai generously helped with things that were not at all his responsibility. Makai was loved by our guest; he contributed to a great vibe. At our request, Makai helped us stay on track for the whole event, and because of that, everything continued smoothly throughout the evening. Every time I looked at Makai, he had a beaming smile on his face. Even while continuing to enjoy the festivities, Makai’s music was on point. Amongst a handful of other vendors who were also awesome, Makai stands out because his contributions to our day were so impactful. I can’t recommend Makai enough.

He had a running list of many classic and pop songs that he offered to perform live, and also offered to learn new songs just for us – amazing! Throughout the shutdown, he continued to stay in contact with us over the phone, and was able to make adjustments to the plans as needed.

Aside from his ability to entertain with great live music and DJ events, he is able to adapt on the fly. Due to unforeseen weather conditions, we had to move locations from outdoors to indoors and he had the patience, equipment, and skills to make all adjustments with little to no guidance.
