DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, 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.

We first met DJ Dominiq at a wedding expo in 2017 and were immediately sold! He was high energy, versatile, personable, and had the same vision for our reception which was a non-stop party atmosphere! From the start, he was an excellent communicator and was very organized to ensure we had every song played at the right time and that no songs were played that we did not want. He help us capture some fun pictures, got us some drinks from the bar, and even came out break dancing on our dance floor! He was able to capture our music taste (country) and mix it with fun party music, which was SO AWESOME! Our guests still talk about the experience he created on our special day 7 YEARS ago! Both my sister and brother have used him as well for their weddings since he really is that good! Booking him is the EASIEST and BEST decision anyone can make. The absolute best in this business!

I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I love what I do. I aim to make each event feel personal, fun, and real. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to 1,000+ guests. As a musician and performer, I bring a creative approach to my DJing. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure you and your guests are having a great time from start to finish. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures and have even DJed weddings internationally. I read the room, keep things flowing, set the vibe and make sure the night feels like you.

We had Holmes Entertainment San Diego as our DJ and they absolutely made our reception. From our first conversation, they were responsive and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process smooth. On the night of the wedding, they kept the energy going all evening and did a great job reading the room to play what our guests wanted to hear. The MC work was solid and they coordinated everything perfectly with our timeline. If you're looking for a DJ that will keep your dance floor packed and actually engage with your crowd, Holmes Entertainment is the way to go. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

DJ Kaleb was so great! He was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. He delivered day of the wedding too! DJ Kaleb did such a great job helping the flow of the event run smoothly and even added a couple ceremony songs for us right before I walked down the aisle; it blended seamlessly with everything we had planned out. Thank you for your hard work, well worth the price :)

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.

He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. Their intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and they kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

I highly recommend GE production for DJ events! Jimmy was our DJ and he was great. We got a smaller dance floor because they say around 50-70% of the guests are at the dancefloor at a time but my guests were on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone loved the playlist! Jimmy also went above and beyond producing a remix of three songs for the father and bride dance. I was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!

We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game. Wonderful to work with and highly recommend.

DJ Cameron Martin 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA

I’ve spent the past 12 years DJing over 400 weddings, and every one of them has shaped my signature approach: luxury without stuffiness, energy without gimmicks. As a multi-award-winning DJ featured in national publications, I bring more than music… I bring an atmosphere. From the moment your guests arrive to the last song of the night, everything feels intentional, seamless, and unforgettable. My mixes are live, my MC work is polished, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding the one everyone talks about long after the lights come up.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart... If you do not book DJ Cameron Martin for your wedding, you're missing out big time. I literally can't think of a time where I've had more fun. The dance floor was PACKED from the moment he opened the dance floor until the last song of the night. My husband was even crowd surfing at one point?! It was straight out of a movie and we are didn't even have a crowd of traditionally crazy party people. Cameron made sure that each guest of every age was having the time of their life. He read the room flawlessly and somehow knew just what to play and how/when to seamlessly transition without ever even hopping on the mic during the open dance portion (not one corny line was uttered). He's an industry icon (every one of my other vendors knew exactly who he was) and a musical genius and I give him the strongest possible recommendation to any and everyone until the day I die. that's kinda dramatic, but that's how seriously amazing he was.

New to Zola, but trusted at weddings and events throughout Southern California for OVER 15 YEARS, 500+ WEDDINGS. Jukebox Entertainment Live blends high energy live musicianship with seamless DJ coverage to create unforgettable celebrations and packed dance floors. Live band energy. Seamless DJ flow. Unforgettable weddings.

Do not hesitate...book JukeBox!!!. I promise you will be in the best hands. I was lucky enough to experience JukeBox firsthand at my brother-in-law’s wedding, and I am not exaggerating when I say the band was THE highlight of the night. As a guest, my experience with them was a 10000/10. The range and variety of music, the talent of every single member, and the sheer level of performance brought so much fun and energy to the night. It truly felt like a private concert! Guests were crowding the front of the stage, every age group was dancing, and I genuinely did not want to leave the dance floor. After that night, I knew my husband and I had to have them at our wedding. When it came time to book entertainment, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Now speaking as a bride: Jon, David, and the entire team behind the scenes are professional, kind, responsive, organized, and genuinely wonderful people. Meeting with Jon to plan everything was seamless. We felt comfortable right away, everything was explained clearly, and there were absolutely no surprises. They truly care about giving you the best possible experience and work with you to make your vision come to life. Trust can be hard to come by when you’re wedding planning. You’re spending so much money, and it’s honestly nerve-wracking not knowing if everything will live up to what you’re hoping for — especially with such a huge day on the line. But JukeBox is NOT a vendor you need to second-guess. They are worth every single penny!!! David is an incredible MC who kept the entire evening flowing effortlessly. We incorporated a Filipino money dance into our reception, and I was so unsure about what music to use. David patiently worked through my many emails, helped guide me through the decision, and I never once had to second-guess that it would all come together smoothly. On the wedding day, it was seamless. They are a well oiled machine and they operate so flawlessly and are truly such a driving force to the party!! During the planning process, David was always responsive and attentive, and everything felt completely tailored to us. He even professionally cut and edited our first dance and father-daughter dance songs, and they turned out perfectly. Our dance floor was packed all night long & guests are still talking about how amazing the band was just like they still talk about them from my brother-in-law’s wedding. We cannot recommend JukeBox highly enough. They made our wedding reception unforgettable and truly brought our dream celebration to life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations.

Hello, my name is Melanie Rae Reynolds. I am a local artist and music professional. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of California Riverside. I have been entertaining audiences in Southern California and beyond for the last 10+ years.

From the moment we reached out to Flute by Melanie Rae, we knew we were in good hands. She responded quickly to our questions and was incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel effortless and stress-free. On our wedding day, her flute performance during the ceremony was stunning; guests were captivated as they walked in, and she truly lit up the room with her artistry. Melanie's technical skill is obvious, but what really stood out was how much emotion she brought to every note. We cannot thank her enough for contributing her beautiful music to our big day and making it feel so special. If you're looking for a flutist who is both professional and genuinely wonderful to work with, Melanie is absolutely the right choice.

A female vocalist with pure soul, Dawn provides a romantic sound for your special wedding ceremony and a warm & nostalgic voice for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour or special event! Known in San Diego for her eclectic sound, Dawn sings familiar songs in a wide range of genres from jazz/blues to folk to pop and indie music. She will take requests to learn up to 3 songs outside of her regular playlist for your special day.

I am thrilled to recommend Dawn Mitschele, a phenomenal singer and guitar player I had the pleasure of watching perform at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Carlsbad, CA. Her captivating voice and masterful guitar skills truly left a lasting impression on me. When planning my “big” birthday party, I knew I wanted someone special to perform, and Dawn was the perfect choice. Her ability to engage the audience and create a joyful atmosphere was nothing short of extraordinary. She seamlessly blended various genres, catering to the diverse tastes of my guests, and her warm personality made everyone feel right at home. If you're looking for a talented musician who can elevate any event, I wholeheartedly endorse Dawn Mitschele. She has an incredible gift for connecting with people through her music, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
