949 Studio met and exceeded my expectations for the wedding day! Our DJ Mike was considerate of our wants and met with us a few times before the wedding day to ensure everything was nailed down. He double-checked our chosen songs and made suggestions if he thought one of them wouldn't work. He really brought the party to the wedding day! Our MC Matt was top-notch. He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline. He was professional and kind and brought the energy to the wedding day! This team was incredible and made our wedding a night we will never forget!! Pictures don't capture just how much fun we had!

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Tyler was absolutely incredible! Having a live saxophone player at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made—and Tyler was the perfect choice. From start to finish, he brought so much energy, soul, and fun to the party. He knew exactly when to step in with the music to elevate the vibe, and when to let the moment breathe—never too much, never too little. His timing and feel were spot-on. Funny enough, we actually went to the same college—what are the chances? Such a small world, and it made the connection even more special. Super talented, very professional, and just an all-around great presence to have on the day. Our guests are still talking about how cool it was that we had the sax! Highly, highly recommend Tyler!

My Name is Cesar [DJ Czar] – I have been djing for 14+ years. My passion for music started at a young age with a heavy influence from my family. As I grew older, the passion for music translated to learning to play different instruments which lead me to DJing. Almost 15 years later, I’ve been able to help create unforgettable memories on the dance floor for my clients. From birthday parties, weddings, business events, my goal is always the same: to deliver an experience that keeps everyone dancing, smiling, and having fun!

We recently had DJ Czar play at our wedding, and I can't say enough good things about him! From our first meeting to the last dance, he was exceptional. He took the time to really understand our vision and was super attentive throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer questions and even joined us for a walk-through of the venue to find the perfect setup spot, which made us feel so much more at ease. The Zoom meetings we had before the big day really helped to clarify our itinerary and address any concerns we had. The day of the wedding he had everyone, young and old, up on the dance floor. Our guests were raving about how much fun they had, and it truly felt like a party all night long. He read the crowd perfectly, mixing in everything from our requested songs, classic hits, to the latest tunes that got everyone moving. The MC was also fantastic, keeping the event flowing smoothly and making our announcements without being over the top, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. It really felt like they were part of our celebration, rather than just hired help. The photo booth was a hit with our guests! It had a great selection of props, and everyone had a blast taking pictures. We ended up with a fun guestbook filled with memories to look back on, and it created a wonderful way for our guests to take home memories from our big day. Overall DJ Czar went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Thanks to him, our wedding was flawless. We highly recommend him if you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your day memorable!

DJ AUSTO IS THE BEST WEDDING DJ. HANDS DOWN! Before we hired him he wanted to set up a zoom call to meet us and see if he was a good fit for our style. Right from our first conversation, he was so easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable. It felt like we've known him for years even though it was our first encounter. He was super friendly, amazing energy, and has a great personality. When it came to the music, he nailed it! He played exactly what we wanted, but he also added his own little twist that made it even better!! He totally understood the vibe we were going for and kept the dance floor packed all night long. What we loved most about him was that he gave us the freedom to choose. He let us have a say in every aspect of the music, from the special songs to the overall genre. It was so awesome to have that kind of control and he made it all happen seamlessly! He knew how to read the crowd like a pro! He had this knack for playing the right songs at the right time, keeping the energy high and the party going. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. SO HYPE! We were absolutely blown away by the amazing aesthetic he brought to our reception! The speakers and up lights he provided looked absolutely beautiful in our ballroom. They truly elevated the ambiance and added an extra touch of magic to the entire evening. It was such a memorable and stunning visual experience AND GET THE CO2 GUN! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding DJ. He was friendly, hype, energetic, personable, and played the best music. If you want someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, he's the one to go with. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!! We love you DJ Austo!!

As a DJ, percussionist, and singer, I bring a unique energy to every event, blending creativity with a deep love for music. I started performing at 10 years old in my father’s band, and that passion has only grown stronger. With years of experience at weddings, private parties, and cultural events, I understand how to read the crowd and deliver the perfect vibe, from romantic ceremonies to high-energy dance floors. I treat every couple’s special day like it’s my own, making sure the music sets the tone for unforgettable memories.

DJ Divine absolutely blew us away at my daughter’s wedding! From the ceremony to the last song, the vibe was perfect. Once the party started, the dance floor was wall-to-wall, people were sweating, screaming lyrics, and dancing like it was a concert. She kept the energy sky high and was super interactive the whole night. We partied so hard the venue had to shut us down. Guests are still saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. If you want a DJ who will turn your wedding into an unforgettable celebration, DJ Divine is the one.

All our favorite songs playing throughout our wedding at key moments like our ceremony, reception, and first dance made the event feel so dreamy and cinematic, and I can’t thank Rob and Jordan enough for making our event so memorable. We also booked our photo booth (Feature Booth) through them, and it was the same amazing communication and day of execution.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

Golden Bell offers a unique musical blend that packs a high-energy punch! The DJ/live fusion band, or DJ/live band hybrid, is always anchored on a DJ set but supported by live musicians. With all the energy and hype of a live band and the flexibility of a DJ, you won’t have to decide between hiring a band or a DJ for your next event or wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Okay, seriously, if you're planning an event and thinking about a band/dj hybrid, you have to look into Golden Bell Music. Our wedding on June 27, 2025, at Viansa Winery in Sonoma, CA, was everything we dreamed of and so much more, and honestly, a huge part of that credit goes directly to them. We spent 11 months planning every detail, and booking Golden Bell Music as one of our very first vendors was hands-down the best decision we made. The band/DJ hybrid concept? Pure genius! It absolutely delivers the best of both worlds, and they pulled it off flawlessly. But really, the biggest shout-out – and the core of this whole review – belongs to the phenomenal Marlon Aldana, our DJ and drummer. We first spotted him in action on Golden Bell's Instagram, and it was an instant "that's our guy!" moment. You can imagine our excitement when we found out he was available for our date! Working with Marlon from the very beginning was just an absolute pleasure. He wasn't just playing music; he was genuinely feeling the room, intuitively knowing when to let a song build or transition to keep the energy up. All of our "must-plays" were there, the do not-play was respected, and the dance floor never once emptied And talk about flexibility! We had a last-minute idea to add an extra instrument, and the Golden Bell team didn't blink. They jumped right in, helping us find the perfect addition without any issues. Plus, we had a separate violinist for our ceremony, and it was so impressive to see how effortlessly all the vendors collaborated. No drama, just smooth, professional teamwork, which really speaks volumes about Golden Bell's commitment to making your day seamless. Now, for the ultimate highlight: our after-party! We decided to do something a little different and host it in a wine cellar, and Marlon and his team elevated it beyond anything we could have imagined. When they brought in a fog machine, the entire atmosphere transformed. It wasn't just a party; it was an experience! That fog machine honestly MADE the party, turning the space into something truly epic. I genuinely can't picture it having the same incredible energy without it, so a massive thank you for that unexpected, perfect touch. And because we had a masquerade theme, I asked if the DJs would wear disco masks and they SAID YES and wore them the entire time, even after I told them they absolutely didn't have to for more than one song! It just created such an amazing vibe, and we've got the pictures to prove how much fun everyone had! There's just so much to appreciate about this incredible group. If you want your special day to be filled with fantastic music, seamless execution, and an unforgettable atmosphere, you absolutely have to choose Golden Bell Music. They truly are exceptional!

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

We are so glad we chose Sound Prodigy for our wedding DJ! DJ Pat was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He uses an app that was easy to use and helped us curate our music preferences during our ceremony and into the reception. The app allows you to create a timeline of events and add specific songs so that everything goes smoothly throughout the event. We got so many compliments during the reception on the song choices. DJ Pat really knows how to choose the best song order to keep the party going, and vibes were high throughout the evening! We also highly recommend the lighting option he provides, this really added to the ambience for the reception. We would highly recommend him to DJ any event. Thank you DJ Pat for making our wedding a night to remember!

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.

We found Brandon through our wedding planner Christine Garrison of CMG Events. She suggested him because we were interested in having someone play acoustic guitar and singing during the wedding. After chatting with Brandon, we hired him to play the guitar for our ceremony, act as a wandering minstrel during the cocktail hour, and DJ the entire event. Our ceremony took place outdoors in an open lawn area. Brandon did a great job with setting up the sound. Everyone was able to hear both us and the officiant clearly. The acoustic rendition of Heartbeats (Jose Gonzalez) and Wildflowers (Tom Petty) he played for our processional and recessional were beautiful and really set the mood we were looking for. Brandon also did a great job DJing the event. He was able to take a small number of songs and expand the playlist to not only fit our tastes but keep the party hopping. We had expected that we would have minimal dancing and that our crowd would mostly just sit around chatting. However, Brandon was able to keep the energy up and the dance floor going throughout the night. It far exceeded our expectations and made the night really memorable. He was extremely professional throughout the planning process. We had several calls leading up to the wedding, and he made it easy to communicate what we were looking for in the event. We added songs to a few different playlists which he used as a jumping off point. He also provided suggestions for all the important moments (e.g., processionals, recessional, first dance, grand entrance). His contract and other documents were also clear and always sent promptly. On the day of Brandon arrived on time for set up and did a great job with all aspects (sound, DJing, acoustic performance, and lighting) of the event. He looked extremely professional and was communicative throughout the day, constantly checking in with the planner and us to make sure everything was going well. If he wasn’t sure about a song, he’d ask before playing it. Best of all, he was extremely reasonably priced. His assistant, Josh, was also very nice and did a great job.
