The communication prior to the wedding was timely, efficient, and professional. He listened to all our requests and gathered all the info needed to make sure the day ran smoothly.

  • Serves Forest Knolls, CA
  • Offer

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brandon and his team did a fantastic job! Despite the cold weather, my wife and I and our friends and family had an awesome time. We enjoyed the sound from our wireless mics, the pacing of the dinner music, the props and funny pics from the photo booth, and the energy on the dance floor. We almost didn’t get the Photo Booth, but we added it in last minute and we're glad we did. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. Great vibes all around.

Not only is Precise Blend (James) one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of working with, he is also very creative, responsive, professional and flexible when making your event come to life through music. He took time to really get to know us and it was important to him that we were happy and not stressed for our big day. He DJ'd our Sonoma Valley wedding and it was such a magical evening. His photo booth, music and lights really brought the venue to life and guests had a great time dancing. I love that his equipment is sleek, not bulky and doesn't stand out in photos. The app he works through is user friendly and I love that we were able to invite different collaborators to add songs to the dancing playlist. His team truly did a quality job on making the night memorable and I'm so glad we chose them as our music vendor! There is not enough good things I can write about Precise Blend and James. We had a few zoom meetings set up for DJ's and he was our first zoom call. We knew from the moment we talked to him that he was perfect for us and our wedding. We booked him last minute (probably 2 months in advance) and he was so accommodating. If we needed anything, he was a quick text away. He has a wonderful app to pick all your music and organize it from the processional, to the cocktail hour music, etc. I sent him a few songs that I wanted to surprise my now husband with to walk down the aisle and he put them together for me and made it perfect for us. Another great aspect was that our photographers Photo Booth broke from another wedding so we reached out to James and he made sure that we had a Photo Booth. It was amazing and the pictures from our family and friends are so fun! James has a wonderful team and made our night amazing and fun! We consider him family now. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you forever James. We cant thank you enough! You are truly one of a kind and made our wedding amazing and so much fun! Sincerely, The Farleys

That's the DJ came HIGHLY reccomended and I am so glad we didn't hesitate to book them for our wedding! As someone who loves to dance, my biggest stress was the music & DJ Alex & his team squashed that fear from day 1 of planning & song 1 played the night of. As Christians, we wanted a variety of music, both worship & dance hits, without explicit or vulgar language. The whole night was so much fun with every age group singing & dancing & his uplighting an incredible addition to the vibes! I also can't thank them enough for being so supportive to making sure our live musicians had what they needed equipment wise for our procession & first dance. They also kept the flow of the night on point from announcing our grand entrance, any toasts, and final last words. The whole night was a dream & our guests keep telling us how much fun they had. My only complaint is that our wedding didn't last longer!

Your wedding deserves more than beautiful music—it deserves a soundtrack that captures the emotion of every unforgettable moment. As a professional cellist, guitarist, and singer, I specialize in creating elegant, deeply personal musical experiences that elevate your celebration from the first guest’s arrival to your final dance. With years of professional performance experience spanning classical, contemporary, folk, jazz, pop, and original music, I bring the artistry, versatility, and attention to detail expected at world-class events.

Christian Dupree Music made our wedding reception unforgettable in ways we never expected. From our first conversation, Christian was responsive and organized, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. He beatboxed while I rapped in a battle against my wife, then switched gears to play guitar for her diss song back at me. Christian has this incredible gift where he can hear a song and play it back immediately with multiple instruments because he just knows the notes, and he can freestyle rap on top of it all. He turned the dance floor into something interactive and hilarious that our guests still talk about. We can't recommend Christian Dupree Music enough for couples who want a musician that goes way beyond the typical playlist.

Our DJ Joey Moon was incredible! I have never experienced a DJ like him. Joey has the best energy and really knows how to read the room. Myself and my husband have slightly different music tastes and Joey blended the genres perfectly. Joey made us feel confident before the wedding as he answered all our questions and checked in with us on the lead up. All of our guests commented on how amazing Joey was. Thank you!

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Trained by his late father, the legendary DJ TeddyB, music is in his DNA. Every beat he drops carries a legacy of passion, precision, and pure joy.

Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services! I will post more pictures once available.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding. We're extraordinarily grateful that Cello Joe made the trip up to Portland and very much look forward to seeing this musical genius again in the near future!

Chris was absolutely amazing! From the start, he made sure we were both on the same page about the timeline and music, which made everything run so smoothly. He came prepared with backup plans for every possible scenario, which really helped ease my stress on the big day. I loved that I could put together a playlist, and he built on it perfectly — the mixes were incredible! If I ever need a DJ again, I will 100% be working with Chris. Highly recommend!

I'm Turker, a San Francisco Bay Area wedding DJ and MC with over 20 years of experience creating memorable celebrations for couples throughout Northern California. From the ceremony through the last dance, I provide professional sound, lighting, music planning, and MC support while keeping the experience personal to each couple. I take the time to learn your music preferences, must-play songs, do-not-play list, cultural traditions, and the atmosphere you want for your wedding. My goal is to create a celebration that feels like you—not a generic wedding playlist.

We had the best wedding and DJ Turker played a huge part in that. We requested he mix Afghan, Persian, Bay Area, top hits, 2000's hip hop, etc. and he delivered perfect music all night long. Our dance floor was full the entire night and no one wanted the party to end. He is very communicative, timely, and affordable. We are so grateful we were able to book him and we just want to throw another party already so we can book him again! You will not regret him for your DJ needs.
