DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (39 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

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.

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 can't recommend them enough!

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!

From our first conversation with Christina at L Rock Entertainment, we knew we had found the right DJ and MC for our wedding. She was responsive and thoughtful throughout the planning process, answering all our questions with helpful detail. Christina created the perfect playlist for our reception, and when our wedding party spontaneously started a limbo line, she smoothly switched songs without missing a beat. What really blew us away was her live performance—she sang a song we chose and her voice was absolutely beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it.

We had an amazing experience working with DJ Czar Entertainment from start to finish. They were super easy to reach whether we needed to text, call, or email, which made planning feel stress-free. On the day of our wedding, they showed up on time and delivered way more than we expected for the price—their energy and attitude kept the vibe perfect all night long. The music selection was spot on, and they clearly knew how to read the room and keep our guests dancing. We'd absolutely recommend DJ Czar Entertainment to any couple looking for a DJ who cares about making their day special.

DJ Lon Lee 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $800
  • 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.

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!

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!

After graduating, I began to sharpen my skills in the field of Audio/Visual by doing hundreds of weddings and special events for years to come.

Andrew is a must if you want your entire day from start to finish to be perfect when it comes to mc, cocktail hour, reception, partying and send off! Andrew also took the time to meet with my husband and I a week before our wedding and go through the whole music set he put together. He is very personable and team bride and groom! Countless times Andrew came up to my husband and I and asked us if we needed anything. My guests are still talking about Andrew and where we can use him next . To make it easy as well he has a very user friendly portal to upload your Spotify list, make payments and do all music questionnaire . This was very efficient . Can’t recommend enough! Thank you so much Andrew we had so much fun with you

Second song was incredible! They covered every single detail that goes with music and the ambiance of the reception. We had a harpist for ceremony and cocktail hour who was spectacular! Such a special touch. Our DJ, Cale, absolutely nailed it. Our friends were on the dance floor the entire night, the songs were spot on what we wanted and his communication with us prior to and during the wedding made us feel so confident and comfortable. Second song as a whole was SO easy to work with, organized and timely, we didn’t run into any hiccups with musicians, equipment, lighting, the Photo Booth - everything was perfect!!!

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.

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!
