“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!”

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (37 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,400

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 1,000+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Moon Units made my wedding. It all started when my wife (fiancee at the time) forwarded me an Instagram clip of them because she knew I was set on hiring a live band. I took my sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!”

“We had an amazing experience with DJ Emmett and would absolutely recommend him! What I really loved about him was his style and taste. It meant we didn’t need to micromanage the music or over-plan every detail. We gave him a few must-plays and a general sense of the cocktail hour vibe, and he took it from there. He knows how to read a room! The uplighting he provided as part of the package also completely transformed the space. He was also an excellent MC. One of our favorite moments was the little couple trivia game he did to dismiss tables for the buffet. It was such a fun touch and guests really loved it.”

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

“Our DJ was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He was extremely reliable, professional, personable, and always communicated quickly. From the moment we booked him, I knew we were in good hands. He was not only an incredible DJ but also an excellent MC. He kept our wedding moving, made sure everything flowed smoothly, and knew exactly how to keep our guests engaged and having a great time. Our wedding felt seamless, and so much of that was because of his guidance, expertise, and ability to read the room. What I appreciated most was that he truly respected our budget. He never pressured us into spending more than we wanted to. Instead, he listened to what we wanted, gave us honest recommendations, and pointed us in the right direction to help us get the best and most effective outcome. Our guests had an amazing time, and we received so many compliments about the music, energy, and overall flow of the reception. If you're looking for a DJ who is reliable, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your wedding experience special, I highly recommend him! Thank you for helping make our wedding unforgettable! We are so grateful for everything you did!”

“1000/10!! Lucky Devils gave us absolutely the best wedding experience possible. All communication and planning calls were extremely professional, prompt, and easy. We had a prescriptive plan on our music taste and preferences, which Lucky Devils was happy to accommodate, but they also gave guidance based on their expertise, which we so appreciated. We put playlists together because we wanted certain songs playing, but by the time the band came on (we just gave them general guidance beforehand, nothing too prescriptive), their set list was exactly what we were looking for and they completely set the vibe and energy of the party with little direction. We hired them for our ceremony music, which they were able to do with the live guitarist as well as use a speaker for walk down the aisle songs. Everything went seamlessly and exactly how we imagined, but somehow even better. Working with Lucky Devils was an amazing experience from end. They were also very positive and lively on-site, which made us and the guests have so much fun. We have a family band and Lucky Devils even let them play a live song, which will always be one of our favorite memories from our wedding day. Lucky Devils is a one stop shop and can help you with anything, as they have such range- you can hire for your ceremony AND reception (even if in different locations) as an emcee, DJ, live band, etc. and that's exactly what we needed. They have tons of clients at one time but somehow made us feel so special and like we were their only client. Music is so important to us, and honestly I have been putting together a playlist for years, so we were looking for the best group possible to host the experience we were looking for. Lucky Devils was exactly it and it was so amazing to see this music come to life. They brought so much energy, fun, and connection to our guests, we still talk about it! We were honestly so blown away at how amazing the music was throughout the night. Would 100% recommend and do all over again if we had the choice. You will not regret hiring them and it's one of the best wedding decisions we made!!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better harpist than Liska Yamada for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was professional and responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way in a manner that truly put our minds at ease. What impressed us most was her willingness to learn a brand new song specifically for our ceremony and execute it flawlessly on the day of. Her playing was nothing short of stunning, and the way she coordinated with us showed her dedication to making everything run smoothly. Liska brought such grace and elegance to our celebration, and honestly, it could not have been any better. If we could rate Liska 10000000000 stars, we certainly would! We highly recommend her to any couple in a heartbeat!!”

“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.”
