I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I still love what I do. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to events with 1,000+ guests. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, and I’ve even DJed weddings internationally. I keep things personal, keep things flowing, and make sure everyone is having a great time. I read the room, mix live, set the vibe, and know when to turn things up. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure your wedding feels like you.

“Michael was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was so professional and fun and made our vision come to life! It was so nice knowing he was in control of the music flow as everything went exactly according to plan. He really did a superb job guiding the whole evening and nailing all of our requests. It was incredible enjoying the day knowing he was taking care of all the music and microphones and having everything flow so smoothly. We can’t speak highly enough about having him as our DJ. Thank you so much Michael for not only being a part of our special day and making it fun but by also taking the stress off of us by allowing the flow of the evening to go so smoothly with your guidance and expertise.”

“We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit”

“I used this company for my dj, Photo Booth and cold sparklers and lighting for my wedding at Bal Hai and I was 10/10 happy with their services! I paid extra to have an attendant stay so I could use the cold sparklers multiple times which was great! Him and the photo booth attendant were both very kind and easy to work with. DJ Erin was fantastic! I had some technical issues with the website not allowing me to add my songs online but after our phone calls I felt like I could trust him and was able to share my Spotify playlist to him which made my life so much earlier and less stressful. He edited a song for me perfectly for my walk down the aisle and was always quick to respond ahead of the wedding if I had a question. I very much would trust this company in the future and I wouldn’t change one tiny thing about my wedding! A dj can make or break a party and he made mine! I got lots of compliments about the music selection and variety of songs and genres that were played. Also Nicole made my planning process very easy and was always quick to respond to questions via email as well.”

Hi, I'm Leon! I grew up in the Bay Area, worked in radio, studied music and culture in grad school, and spent years at a large DJ company where I was a manager and the highest-reviewed DJ. When I realized that our values weren't compatible, I left to build something different—a space where every detail matters and showing up for each other is just the baseline.

“Leon was easy to work with from the moment we met him. He was communicative and matched our vision for our reception. He played our favorite songs and mixed up the vibes when needed to keep people on the dance floor. He worked seamlessly with our coordinator to keep the night on track.

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.

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!”

The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning.

Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST!

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!!!!”

Your wedding day deserves music as beautiful as the moment itself. I'm Rob Andrew, a classically trained guitarist with 200+ weddings performed across San Diego County, including The Lodge at Torrey Pines, Rancho Valencia, and Paradise Point. I hold a Master of Music from San Diego State and a BA in guitar performance from UC San Diego, with training from the legendary Los Romeros quartet. From ceremony processionals to cocktail hours of Latin, Bossa Nova, and Flamenco, I tailor every performance to your vision. Solo guitar, duets, and ensembles are available, with discreet amplification so every guest hears the music beautifully.

“Rob Andrew was the perfect choice for our wedding, and honestly, it wasn't our first time working with him since we'd hired him before for Spanish guitar at art openings where he created the ideal atmosphere. From our first conversation, he was easy to reach and always offered thoughtful suggestions that made planning stress-free. For our big day, he played solo during the ceremony and then brought in a talented vocalist, Sara, for Basso Nova music during the reception, which was exactly what we wanted. His skill and professionalism really shined through, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the entertainment. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Rob to any couple looking for a guitarist who actually listens to what you want and delivers.”

Although the band itself was formed only in 2021, its members have been members of other rock bands for several decades. From Blondie to The Pretenders, Tom Petty, the Doobies, U2 and the Cars to Journey, sprinkled with contemporary songs Rewind! entertains with crowd pleasing, generation spanning, Rock & Roll.

“We had the most wonderful time having Rewind! play our wedding, and we got sooo many compliments from our guests. Mel was an awesome emcee, and the band played the best 80s hits and got the crowd up and dancing. 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.”
