TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!

DJ Dominiq

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves La Mesa, CA
  • Offer

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.

Eric Morales was our DJ for our wedding in Temecula! He was absolutely amazing, helped keep us on schedule and kept the party alive the whole time! I had multiple guests tell me that they were so impressed with his style and loved how he got everyone on the dance floor for a group photo and then immediately started the party with everyone out there! It was so much fun, and if I ever need a DJ for something I will be hiring Eric! I also loved his use of the cold sparklers for our exit and even when there was a hiccup he made sure we got all the pictures! I cannot rave enough about how happy I was with our wedding experience and this company! 10/10 recommend! Also I know a big thing for brides is their playlist, and the platform we used to pick all our songs was so easy to use and Eric even checked with me to make sure everything was as I wanted it! He played great music all night and was able to capture all the genres we love!

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

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.

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! 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! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. 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. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game. Wonderful to work with and highly recommend.

DJ Cameron Martin

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

I’ve spent the past 12 years DJing over 400 weddings, and every one of them has shaped my signature approach: luxury without stuffiness, energy without gimmicks. As a multi-award-winning DJ featured in national publications, I bring more than music… I bring an atmosphere. From the moment your guests arrive to the last song of the night, everything feels intentional, seamless, and unforgettable. My mixes are live, my MC work is polished, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding the one everyone talks about long after the lights come up.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart... If you do not book DJ Cameron Martin for your wedding, you're missing out big time. I literally can't think of a time where I've had more fun. The dance floor was PACKED from the moment he opened the dance floor until the last song of the night. My husband was even crowd surfing at one point?! It was straight out of a movie and we are didn't even have a crowd of traditionally crazy party people. Cameron made sure that each guest of every age was having the time of their life. He read the room flawlessly and somehow knew just what to play and how/when to seamlessly transition without ever even hopping on the mic during the open dance portion (not one corny line was uttered). He's an industry icon (every one of my other vendors knew exactly who he was) and a musical genius and I give him the strongest possible recommendation to any and everyone until the day I die. that's kinda dramatic, but that's how seriously amazing he was.

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!!

Durell is so easy to work with and communicate with! There was a lot of back and forth of music playing between him and my DJ and Durell never complained once and collaborated so well with my DJ. However, the best part was we wanted to do a mash up of 2 songs my husband and I love as our First Dance and Durell created one for us! It was sooo great! It made our First Dance that much more magical and memorable. He accommodated all of my wishes and he was truly the highlight of our wedding! We had Durell perform my husband’s processional song (which Durell learned a new song for!!! How awesome is that!?), our cocktail hour, our first dance and continue performing music during the first half of our dinner. Please hire Durell for any Wedding (or any other) event!! You will not be disappointed !!! Thank you again so so much Durell! You are such an amazing artist, performer and person!

Backed by over a decade of professional experience, Jukebox Entertainment Live is known for versatility across every genre, polished professionalism, and bringing the perfect atmosphere to weddings, corporate events, and private parties.

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!!!!

From luxury brand events with Sephora, Macy’s and H&M to unforgettable intimate gatherings, I’ve performed at every type of event there is—but nothing compares to my favorite: the beauty of a wedding day. My journey began as a kid mesmerized by rhythm, inspired by how music could move people’s hearts. That passion has only deepened with time. Today, I bring that same childlike wonder and hard-earned mastery to every couple’s love story. For me, DJing isn’t just sound—it’s emotion, connection, and the art of capturing the heartbeat of the crowd that will be remembered forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I thought hiring a DJ was just about someone showing up and playing songs, but DJ Heartbeat (Bren) made it so much more than that. He kept the energy perfect, the timing smooth, and honestly he made the night stress-free for us. Before, I was so anxious about all the little details, both the music and our first dance and everything else but during the wedding, I didn’t think about them once. It all went so perfectly. That’s how good he is! A

DJ Tigerlily California 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves La Mesa, 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!

I hired Cheap Event Lighting Rental for an event at my son’s school and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Charlie was amazing to work with—he showed up early to go over the setup, took the time to understand our space and even added a few extra lights to make sure everything was perfect. His prices were very reasonable and the service was top-notch. The outdoor lighting looked fantastic and I would absolutely hire him again!

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!
