We are so grateful we had Tony as our wedding DJ! From the very first call, he made us feel confident that our day was in good hands. From the first meeting, he went straight to the music. He listened to our music tastes, took note of every detail, and created the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fun and smooth the evening felt — from cocktail hour to our last dance, every transition was flawless. Tony also did an incredible job with the announcements and coordinating timing with our other vendors, which made the night feel effortless. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to create the perfect vibe and keep the energy high, we couldn’t recommend Tony Mac Entertainment enough.

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had. I am so jealous that you, the prospective client, have the opportunity to book Paige & Holly for a future event. I truly can't hype them up enough.

When Tempoe is behind the booth, I know the timeline will be respected, the atmosphere will be electric, and the couple will be thrilled.

Raymond (Ray) was great! Very nice, on time and he definitely felt the vibe of the room and played music based on our guests. A lot of our guests were older (millennial and baby boomers). He played songs on our list and accepted request so that everyone could dance to music they like! Which was great! We received nothing but great compliments other than older people took Tylenol the next day as their knees were hurting from dancing so much! Lol

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.

Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional, getting everyone excited and joyful. They were also great communicators and wonderful to work with, offering helpful ideas and accommodating all our requests.

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 Dominq was a whole vibe as he hyped the crowd and set the tone in getting everyone on to the dance floor with his enthusiasm, energy and music. He even joined in on some of the dancing, which I loved, and after my wedding, many raved about his dancing and DJ skills. He made our wedding unforgettable! During the planning of my wedding, he always had timely responses and communicated professionally and was reliable. I would highly recommend him for any event and will definitely be using him again in the future!

"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!

DJ Czar went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ran smoothly. From planning to the day-of, Czar thought of everything so that we didn't have to worry about any loose ends. He is a great communicator and extends a sense of peace and positivity that allowed us to enjoy the whole process and go through our big day with minimal worry. We gave him a short list of must play songs, along with a couple of genre and artist preferences and he got the mix for our night perfectly. Our guests had lots of fun and didn't stop dancing until the end of the night. We recommend Czar 100% and hope to hire him again for any future family parties!

Jonathon was awesome from day one. A very laid-back and chill energy made planning with him feel non-anxious. He made us feel like he had everything under control and that he knew when to accommodate us and when he could use his knowledge to make sure everyone had a great time. In the pre-ceremony, he mixed it up between some pre-selected songs I chose and played some live. I am a musician, so many of our family and friends that were in attendance are all musicians and singers. They all immediately were drawn to his smooth voice and incredible playing. The ceremony went great and had minimal to no tech issues, the sound was clear, he helped us incorporate our musician friends to play a song during the ceremony. He played our First Dance song live, and absolutely knocked it out of the park! We did a small choreographed dance to Love Like This by Ben Rector. His voice was perfect, and I was able to send him an edited version of the song that matched with our dance. He played it flawlessly and the moment was special for my wife and I, and for our guests. During the dinner, he played an acoustic set consisting of covers of 90s-2000s R&B songs, which were a huge hit with us and our guests. He played with a loop pedal and was able to simulate a full band with just his guitar and voice! He had some moving and grooving, singing along during dinner, while others were still able to hold a conversation without distraction. I gave him many songs to include in the dance portion of the night. And while he included MANY of my suggestions, he also knew when to throw in some crowd favorites to keep the party going. The dance floor was PACKED all night, the transitions between each song where seamless, and it became a fun game for my and my friends to try and guess what song he was cueing up next! My wife and I loved every musical moment of the evening, and it was exactly what we dreamed of for that day. All of our guests loved the music, and were so impressed not just with his professionalism and on stage banter with the crowd, but his musicality and rich voice. I have worked as a wedding musician for a few years, and as a gigging musician and singer for much longer. I have always feared that I would spend my wedding day judging the Wedding Band/DJ because of my high standards for live music. Jonathan blew every single one of those expectations out of the water, and he was such a breath of fresh air during a stressful period of wedding planning. I cannot recommend Jonathan Blake Salazar any more for your wedding. He is a dream to work with, and will do an incredible job performing, Emceeing, and DJing your special day!

Brian was an incredibly rare find. From the very beginning of my search for a musician, Brian responded quickly, gave me an excellent quote, and helped me find another musician and handled the coordination for a duet. Brian is a great communicator and worked closely with us to find the perfect music selection for the event and even coordinated with us on what attire we wanted him to wear. He and his partner, Norm were excellent at our event - all of our guests said that their performance was the highlight of the night and I wholeheartedly agree. Both Brian and Norm were very professional. We appreciated that they were gracious enough to be flexible with their timing when our dinner went slightly longer than expected. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about our experience with both Brian and Norm. We would absolutely book both of them again and would recommend them to all of our family and friends.

  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

Lon rock parties! Check the videos, you will see he's hard to top. If you need someone to rock your party, look no further. Trusted by major brands (Nike, Disney, Macy’s) and countless private clients across Southern California, DJ Lon Lee delivers dynamic, high-precision entertainment for any event. Known for his ability to expertly read the crowd and spin virtually any genre (Pop, Hip-Hop, Latin, Rock, EDM, and more), Lon guarantees a packed dance floor. His DJ sets are to die for. Call me directly for the best prices.

He served as out DJ and MC but brought along Joey C to co-MC. With Lon on the mic and a second host working the crowd, the whole night had that high-energy club feel. The lighting, projectors and fog machines were fantastic, and he even created a "dancing on the clouds" effect for us. Our first dance as newlyweds felt truly magical. This is a DJ who genuinely wants you and your guests to have an incredible time, and he'll go the extra mile to make that happen. Lon exceeded every expectation, and it's obvious he loves what he does. Here's a comparison that really illustrates the difference between a great DJ and a bad one. The bad DJ (from a company with 500 reviews across Yelp, Thumbtack and other platforms): Two months before our wedding, we went to a friend's wedding handled by a different DJ, and it was a letdown. Despite receiving a list of requested songs - he ignored most of it. Rather than engaging with the guests, he mostly just hit play and disappeared to flirt with one of the servers. He'd also told the couple he wouldn't guest requests, yet caved every time someone approached him. By the end of the night, several songs had repeated two or three times. It makes you wonder if some of these companies pay to be featured on booking platforms and use that leverage to get negative reviews taken down. We later learned that the company had hired this DJ through Offerup for just 300 - clearly inexperienced. Do your research before booking a DJ. Some of these companies care more about profit than about whether their clients actually have a good time. The Great DJ - DJ Lon Lee: My husband and I have wide-ranging musical taste - EDM, R&B, Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, Cumbias, Reggaeton and more. As a bride who wanted every single song we asked for, respected our "must play" and "do not play" lists completely, and transitioned between them so smoothly it was unlike anything I'd heard at a wedding before. Whether it was the ceremony, recessional, entrances, cake cutting, dances, or the final song of the night, every cue landed exactly when it should have. I've already sent five friends who are planning their own weddings his way, and I'd hire him again without hesitation. One last story that sums up the night perfectly: several guests came to say their goodbyes at different points, only for us to spot them still dancing 30, 45, even an hour later. When I asked why they hadn't left yet, they told me "We couldn't, the songs were too good." Thank you, Lon, for helping make our day perfect.

I listen diligently to your dreams for the day and make sure you get the event you’re picturing.

Lark and her performance made our wedding reception into the unforgettable night we wanted and more. It was a dance party and sing-along like no other wedding we (or our friends) had seen before. It was perfect from start to finish. And when I say start, I really mean it. We met Lark a year before our wedding when she just so happened to be playing at the dueling piano bar where I proposed to my wife with Lark's last minute help. It was her perfect rendition of Bruno Mars's "Marry You" (which she learned on the spot) that really made the proposal perfect. We stayed in touch and were thrilled to learn that she played wedding receptions. We were even more thrilled when we realized that her very reasonable prices actually fit in our budget. Throughout the wedding planning, Lark was so accommodating. She was responsive to all our requests, made helpful suggestions, and was incredibly flexible as we were constantly changing timelines and floor plans. She was even more amazing on the day of the reception. Our biggest fear was that people would not dance at our wedding (smallish wedding with a very plain venue) but those fears immediately subsided as soon as Lark kicked off the night. She was our MC, vocalist, and obviously an amazing piano player. From the first note of "Livin' On A Prayer" to the last note of "Don't Stop Believing," the dance floor was packed and our guests loved every second. We lost count of how many people told us "best dance party ever!" To top it off, halfway through the night Lark presented us with the exact request card I gave her the night I proposed to my wife over a year earlier. She had it saved in a small frame so that we could keep it forever, which brings me to my last point. Lark will provide great entertainment no doubt, but what really sets her apart is the heart that she put into each event. We will cherish the memories we made with her forever and can't wait for an excuse to hire her again!

Awarded Best of Zola
You should most definitely consider booking Soundwave Productions for your event! One of their selling points was the ease of use of their website to select songs of yours and your guests' choice. During our consultation, Dj Wil sold us on his mixing skills. In addition, he gave us ideas on uplighting our venue (which he had worked several times), and even went through a mock timeline of how the night would unfold. Super helpful for someone to hear who hasn't been married or hired a DJ before. After meeting with their team, we knew we had to have them for our wedding. We also had their 'dancing on clouds' effects that completely helped set the mood for our reception and had everyone in awe. Dj Wil was amazing in getting our guests amped up and entertained. Not only that, Wil checked in with us through out the night to help make sure everything was ok. Almost a week later, our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding. THANK YOU, WIL AND CHRIS! :)

I am an acoustic singer-songwriter dedicated to bringing a soulful, intimate atmosphere to your most important celebrations.

My goal is to provide a seamless musical experience that enhances the natural emotion of your event.

Mari sang live when my husband proposed to me.. and since then, I instantly knew I needed her to sing at our wedding. She is a genuine person and when she sings you can feel the emotions in her voice. I asked her to sing “Can’t Help Falling In Love” while i’m walking down the aisle, and I swear to you her live voice plus live guitar sounded like it was pre recorded coz it was just perfect. She was able to convey all the emotions of love and affection while she sang. It was the perfect instrument that completed that meaningful moment of walking down the aisle to my husband to be. So if you are looking for a wedding singer, she is your girl and you won’t regret having her sing for you! We were fortunate to have her at our wedding and I completely recommend her to be at yours too!!

Music has the power to turn a beautiful wedding into an unforgettable experience. Based in Southern California, I provide elegant live piano music for ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and private events. From timeless classics and cinematic favorites to modern love songs, every performance is thoughtfully tailored to your vision. I love working closely with each couple, learning meaningful song requests, and creating an atmosphere that feels personal, sophisticated, and uniquely yours.

I honestly can't stop listening to my wedding entrance song. The Canon in D Interstellar piano arrangement turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. The transition from Canon in D into the Interstellar theme was so smooth and emotional. It gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. My fiancé and I both love Interstellar, so having it woven into our ceremony music makes it feel so much more personal and special. His God-given talent truly shines through in this arrangement. You can hear the creativity, passion, and care he put into every note. I have a feeling my future husband is going to bawl his eyes out when he hears this as I walk down the aisle... and honestly, I probably will too. Thank you for creating something so beautiful that will always be part of one of the most important days of our lives. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a gifted and talented pianist. beautiful work.
