“I cannot say enough great things about our band! I was completely blown away by the talent of every musician. I was on the dance floor all night! I provided them with song recommendations from their repertoire list, as well as other songs that I wanted, and they were able to accommodate everything I asked for. They were so talented, and Louis and his team were incredibly easy to work with and so patient with all of my questions. You can tell that Louis takes tremendous pride in his company and genuinely cares about making your day special.

“From the months leading up to the actual wedding and on the day of the wedding, Edgardo was incredibly sweet and accommodating throughout the whole process. He went out of his way to make sure that the violinist that I hired had everything that she needed to be able to perform. Even though we hadn't included the additional setup in the original quote, he gave it to us as a wedding gift. He was on top of all of the songs. Not once did I turn around and feel like he had left his station. He was managing the photo booth phenomenally while also providing every song that we had requested on time and with an enthusiastic behavior. He kept the crowd excited. He knew the right times to change the music and he was absolutely hysterical by joking around with our guests and even being playful when introducing key songs. He really cares about his work and the service he provides. He goes above and beyond to make you feel special and taken care of and is someone I would hire for any event that I throw in the future. I had a phenomenal time working with him. I will say don't be stressed if he doesn't respond to your text messages. He is definitely somebody that will answer a phone call more often than a text. But nevertheless, he shows up and provides incredible service with a smile and I couldn't have asked for our event to go any better. He really really did a great job. Just make sure that you put everything you want in his app because he uses that to make sure that he does what you're asking of him. All of your comments all of your needs. Any specific songs you want played are all in there, so be sure to stay on top of that so that you can guarantee a wonderful experience like I had. I can't say this enough. Hire him. Hire him, hire him. He did everything more than any DJ that I had requested quotes from!”

“Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!”

“I agree with the hundreds of 5-star reviews of Second Song, but I wanted to specifically give a shout out to DJ Tyler O! While Second Song made the process leading up to the wedding easy and seamless (and the cold sparklers were a hit), DJ Tyler did an amazing job at my wedding and absolutely CRUSHED the dance floor. My husband and I have differing music tastes, but DJ Tyler was able to find common ground and played banger after banger that kept all of our guests on the dance floor till the very end. As someone who goes to music festivals often, I was impressed by his mixing skills and appreciated that there was never an abrupt transition between songs. He also did an amazing job MC’ing and executed all of our requests for playing specific songs at certain times and starting songs in the middle. I don’t think you can go wrong with any DJ’s with Second Song, but I do highly recommend picking DJ Tyler O!”

“I am so happy to write a review for Seth and his team! From the very beginning, Seth has been a pleasure to work with. The first meeting I was very impressed by how he had researched the wedding venue and its layout so that he could ask us what our thoughts were on setup/DJ location placement etc. Our second meeting was then focused on how to set up the wedding playlist using the Vibo app. The app is fantastic, and an excellent way to keep track of the songs you wish to have played at certain time points (bridal processional, grand entrance, pre-ceremony, etc.). In the app you can request starting timepoints and leave extra notes for Seth to look over weeks before the wedding. Aside from these aspects, Seth went above and beyond to help us with other non-music related aspects of the wedding such as our wedding slideshow (that he helped give us step by step instructions so that the quality of the slideshow would be good for when it was projected on the wall of venue). He also created a mashup for my husband to dance with his mom ("Dance with me" mixed with "Just Dance"; it was amazing!). Even during the week of the wedding, when I had a mini-freak out, he was so kind and understanding. In the end, I 100% recommend Seth (and Matt too! He was at the Photo Booth, and he was so kind and was ready to help folks if any technical help was needed)! Seth's team is professional, kind, and has great attention to detail; if you can, book DJ Seth and his team for your wedding!”

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events

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
“You will not find a better wedding band than The Moon Units! (and it's way better than a DJ, trust). We chose them because we heard them at our friends’ wedding, and it was the best wedding band we had ever heard. They played songs that weren’t the typical songs you always hear at weddings (and get bored/sick of), and they sounded EXACTLY like the original version of the song - incredible musicians and vocals. My now husband is a former professional musician, so the music at our wedding was extremely important to us, and we knew they were the only choice. From their communication throughout our planning, to their extensive song list, to the option for them to learn specials songs just for us (which they crushed), The Moon Units were nothing short of spectacular. They are also all very kind people, which is the cherry on top and makes such a difference on a wedding day!! They will also be playing at another friends’ upcoming wedding soon too (that’s how impressed everyone is with them). We had so many people come up to us after our wedding to tell us the music was the best out of any wedding they have been to, and everyone had so much fun dancing! 100/10”

“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.”

“Working with Sam, Marco, and Julian was so seamless and easy. We really wanted to avoid a DJ that played tired 'wedding' music and actually created a fun night of dancing with our millennial Brooklyn crowd. We vibed with Sam immediately on intake meeting, who even 'scouted' our venue to confirm the existing audio setup worked (helping us save some on rentals). Coordinating with Marco and working with DJ Julian on the day-of was a breeze and delivered exactly the energy we had hoped for. Couldn't recommend enough!”

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!

There was not an empty moment on the dance floor, and the music made it feel like we were at a club in the best way. Everything was professional, fun, and seamless. She was also incredibly flexible.

There was also an option to request non-repertoire songs for a small fee. Of particular note, we were deciding between two different songs for our processional (including one off-repertoire), and Paulina sent us samples (for free!) so we could hear the arrangements and directly compare them before making our final decision.

“The best testimonial I can give is the story of how my husband and I found DJ Tyler and hired him for our wedding. A few months after getting engaged (and prior to setting a date or booking a venue) my then-fiancé and I attended a party where Tyler was DJing. We intended to leave the party after an hour, but ended up staying for three hours because Tyler was playing banger after banger. I approached him and asked if he performed at weddings, and I was happy to learn that weddings are DJ Tyler’s full time gig. About a year later, Tyler was the first wedding vendor we hired, as having the right DJ was one of our top priorities. Throughout the planning process, Tyler was communicative, responsive, and extremely professional. He gave helpful feedback on our proposed reception timeline and provided suggestions for building a playlist that would ensure a packed dance floor the entire night. Regarding our music, my husband and I gave Tyler the thematic suggestion “50% soul train and funk/50% early 2000s hip hop and pop bangers” (shoutout to millennial couples), and he understood the assignment more perfectly than I could have asked for. Our wedding was this past Saturday 6/28/25, and our guests cannot stop raving about how much they enjoyed the immaculate dance floor vibes that Tyler curated. Friends and family members commented that Tyler was noticeably reading the room to gauge which music the guests were enjoying most and adjusting the playlist accordingly. In addition to being a fantastic DJ and MC, he is also a super nice person who is awesome and pleasant to work with. We’re already thinking about throwing another party and keeping Tyler on as a “DJ on retainer” for all future special events”

“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.

“LA Muse Band was an exceptional choice that truly elevated our event and helped us raise record money. Our event was an annual fundraiser gala at MOLAA and we normally use a DJ but wow did we make the right choice by contacting Omar and LA Muse. Guests made it a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the exceptional band and incredible vocalist- and working with them was extremely efficient. For our event they did Latin jazz renditions of Top 40 favorites. Accommodating the beautiful but large venue (Museum of Latin American Art) outdoor and indoor - the sound was excellent - Everything was top notch! I highly Highly recommend.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“DJ Nahchey and DASH entertainment do a great job coordinating all your musical needs for any type of event - for us it was our wedding. From the beginning it went smoothly and he and his team are very thorough and responsive. We chose DJ Becca who is very nice and was up our alley of musical taste. Our goal was for a dance vibe type of wedding but there were a few miscues with the songs she played. We’d hope she would read the room better and continue to play songs that she noticed people were enjoying but her transitions between songs were a bit odd. Nonetheless, she was a joy to work with and maybe with a bit more direction (our fault, not hers!) this would be a 5 star review. Highly recommend reaching out to DJ Nahchey and DASH Entertainment, they have many DJs to choose from!”

Founded in 2005 by Ian Gotler and Tony Liebetrau, RedShoe is a boutique DJ collective based in Los Angeles. Our DJs are passionate music enthusiasts who enjoy collaborating with their clients. We believe music is the backbone of any successful event and strive to create the perfect ambiance for each phase of your party. Combining high-end event professionalism with superior technical skill and state of the art audio equipment, RedShoe DJs specialize in creating unique, memorable, and collaboratively-crafted soundtracks that bring your guests together – hands in the air – on a packed dance floor.

“My now husband and I admittedly had a hard time conceptualizing our wedding music. We felt it would be impossible to include my husband's favorite EDM music and capture the full scope of my music (I am a cross-genre mood-based music fan). Once we met with RedShoe, we immediately felt understood. The owner explained the vibe their company was founded on and it mimicked the music vibe we were going for perfectly. Other companies we talked to had so many DJ options that they wanted us to pick from, who all felt the same, that it felt overwhelming. RedShoe recommended one DJ, Tommy, saying they felt he would understand our music taste. That was the understatement of the century. From our first call, my husband and Tommy bonded over their shared favorite DJ, and it made us so excited for the big day. They also helped us secure a saxophonist to play alongside Tommy as a massive surprise for our guests. From the pre-ceremony music, which we could hear from our hiding place, my husband excitedly said "Oh wow - Tommy got the vision!" The music from start to end was perfect - perfectly weaving our eclectic taste into one huge party. Mix that with the fantastic saxophonist, Jordan, who absolutely KILLED, and my guests were completely wowed. Everyone kept coming up to us to tell us it was the most fun they'd had at a wedding. Thank you RedShoe, Tommy, and Jordan! We are so grateful!”
