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.

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!

Can’t imagine our wedding without Tyler! He brought so much energy and joy. He was so intentional in making the night perfectly tailored to us. We danced for 4 hours straight and the dance floor was constantly packed. The saxophone is the best addition too - the second I walked into cocktail hour people were talking about how amazing it was and it only got better once he started playing and dancing with us on the dance floor.

"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.

With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

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!

I had the pleasure of experiencing DJ Cezar's incredible talent at my friend's multi-cultural wedding, which blended Korean and Mexican traditions. He masterfully incorporated contemporary hits along with cultural favorites, ensuring the entire crowd stayed energized and engaged. Having attended over 30 weddings in the past few years, I understand the critical role a DJ plays in setting the vibe and keeping the dance floor alive. Hiring DJ Cezar for my own wedding was an easy decision, and he exceeded all expectations. Our guest list spanned various age groups and backgrounds, with attendees traveling from Michigan, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, speaking both Spanish and English. DJ Cezar seamlessly catered to everyone, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere from dinner through the last dance. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high made our special day unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Cezar to anyone looking for a DJ who can effortlessly blend diverse music styles and keep guests entertained all night long.

We hired Trevor DJ Nighthawk/OC Party DJ for our Indian wedding (over two days), and they absolutely exceeded all expectations! The communication and client experience with this business was top notch. Trevor DJ Nighthawk responded to all our emails, texts, and phone call requests in a timely and professional manner and respected all our requests for the events. He arrived well in advance of the start time to ensure he was fully set up and ready to roll on schedule. From the sangeet to the baraat and the reception, he seamlessly blended traditional Indian music with modern hits, keeping every element lively and authentic. The baraat was truly memorable with high-energy beats that got everyone dancing, while the sangeet featured a perfect mix of Bollywood classics and crowd favorites. During the reception, his lighting absolutely accomplished the "cool" vibe we had requested, and the dance floor stayed packed all night; he kept all generations entertained. Trevor DJ Nighthawk also respected the cultural significance of our ceremonies and his emceeing helped the events flow effortlessly. We used him for DJ/emcee service and Photo Booth. He offers a package deal for that. A really neat thing about the Photo Booth is that he customizes the background of the photo prints to match the colors/theme/invite, so they are such a nice keepsake for your guests to take home. He has a 360 Video Booth, too, if you're interested. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our wedding is definitely one that guests keep talking about, and I know several people picked up his card. Thank you, DJ Nighthawk!

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.

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.

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!

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 photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

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.

Brandon is an amazing DJ that really brought out wedding together. He was so easy to work with and did such a good job executing our vision! His live music was a wonderful addition and he even learned a new song for our first dance - it all could not have gone better and I cannot recommend Brandon highly enough.
