This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision. I believe a good DJ is one who is intuitive and can read an audience, and a good photographer is one who can capture moments without you being aware. Thank you Michael, Aubrey, and Xavier for making my moment memorable for me and my guests. I highly recommend A Better DJ & Photographer!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Corey from COS Celebrations was absolutely unreal. I have never seen a dance floor that packed for that long at a wedding literally everyone was dancing, all night. Multiple guests told us it was the best music they’ve ever experienced at a wedding, and they were not exaggerating. Corey read the room perfectly, kept the energy high, and somehow managed to hit every age group. The flow of the night was seamless. We also did the photobooth and live saxophone, and WOW adding those was next-level. The sax brought the party vibe to a whole new level and the photobooth was nonstop fun all night. If you’re on the fence: choose Corey. If you’re comparing DJs: stop looking and book COS Celebrations. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him. Still getting compliments. Still smiling about it. Absolute 10/10.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

We are so grateful to The Xclusive Deejays Team for helping make our wedding day (April 10, 2025 at Paradise Cove) truly unforgettable! From start to finish, our DJ Andy Jimenez was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was prompt, responsive, and incredibly organized. Their planning app made it so easy for us to input our song choices for each moment of the day, leave notes, and answer any key questions. By the time we had our final meeting with Andy, we felt completely at ease knowing that all of our music, sound, and performances were in expert hands. We had a family member as our main MC, and Andy was so flexible in collaborating with them, stepping in seamlessly when needed. We also added a photobooth and CO2 bubbles through Xclusive Deejays, both were huge hits! We were able to work with Andy to customize the photobooth print design, and the CO2 bubbles added such a wow factor to our dance party. Speaking of the dance party...it was AMAZING. Our dance floor was packed all night, and the energy never dropped! A special shoutout to Tiffani from the team, who captured and edited incredible video content of our wedding. She was so discreet and never intrusive, yet somehow managed to record the most joyful, candid moments. She also sent us all the videos after the wedding, which has meant so much to us as we relive the best night of our lives. Thank you, Xclusive Deejays, for your professionalism, talent, and all the little touches that made our celebration so magical. We can’t recommend you enough!
