DJ Ryan was AMAZING at our wedding! DJ Tempoe Entertainment as a whole is very organized and always made me feel comfortable and confident. Ryan is a music genius and knew exactly what to play to get the party started. He also was very cooperative in my song requests. For instance, I told him I really wanted to focus on 70s/80s hits and 2010s nostaglia, and he totally nailed it!

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. If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Modern Highway. Highly recommended!

Tiger (aka Dj Ceviche) started music appreciation lessons at the age of 3 and has continued with professional music production, performance, composition, blogging, curation, and djing for the last 3 decades. His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

Tiger is the best DJ ive ever seen at a wedding. Ive been to a million. He can tailor the playlist hugely based on what you like and keep things fresh. He also has no issue picking the perfect songs to lure people out onto the dance floor and KEEP THEM THERE. also his cocktail hour music was soo fun and dinner music was fantastic. He's also just super flexible if you need to add songs or swap them or change up the schedule. Hes just the best energy and super funny also. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music and will know and have any song you ever request. And if it just came out like two days ago he can quickly download it also. To sum it up, looking for a cool DJ is almost impossible, this guy is going to give you a good DJ set without any effort from you, he will just bring the party with him.

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!

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. Could not recommend him enough!!

"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.

Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

Jonathan Blake Salazar

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Here is a rundown of what I offer: • Top-of the-line audio equipment, including a wireless mic for officiant and speeches. • Pre-ceremony performance as guests arrive. • Customized ceremony music, including your chosen processional and recessional songs. I am happy to learn these. • Recorded music for cocktail hour. • Live music during dinner—this is my favorite part of the night! • Emceeing for dinner and the entire reception. I will also handle announcements that need to be made during ceremony and cocktail hour. • Performance of the first dance song. • DJing for the dance floor

For our destination wedding in Mexico, we wanted to create a unique environment for our big day… we knew our hidden hacienda in the jungle needed live music to set the tone for the night. Jonathan is an incredible singer and musician and from our first meeting, we knew he could create the cool vibe we were looking for. He played everything from Led Zeppelin as I walked down the aisle to Gin & Juice for our requested r&b/hip hop cover hour during dinner. As if he isn’t talented enough, Jonathan was also our DJ for when the party really started. We were lucky to have him be part of our wedding and will always be grateful for the amazing work he did!

The husband and I just got married earlier this month and we had the pleasure of hosting our celebration with DJ Wil as head entertainer of our event, and we could not be more thrilled with how the party turned out. DJ Wil did an impeccable job not only as a DJ but also as an emcee, which we feel is is so, so, SO hard to find these days. All the props to him because we were some of the pickiest people you could probably run into these days. First, we had some untraditional choices for our processional and recessional (i.e. Nujabes and Moguai, lol) and he had no issues with either of them, and had all of the songs ready when we came to our DJ meeting. He was also able to cut and mix whatever parts of songs we liked for other memorable moments like the cake cutting and speeches, and what we liked was he's also able to use his own judgement and expertise when suggesting the timing and vibe of certain songs as well. Second of all, we threw some wedding trivia at him so he could release our tables to the buffet lines and he did a STELLAR job at not only quickly and efficiently running through the questions, but also engaging the audience by walking around the tables, and memorizing the questions and the answers. He didn't just stand at the DJ booth and read off of papers, he was participating with the crowd and it absolutely made the experience 100% better. His introduction of the bridal party, as well as special guests and visitors from other parts of the country was also great, and we feel as though his energy level was perfect. Finally, our "do NOT play" list was probably filled with some of the most popular wedding songs you could think of - they are probably what you'd find in most people's wedding playlist and for DJ Wil to work around that and still keep our dance floor moving non-stop (bride, groom, bridal party - we were up on our feet until the grand exit!) has got to say something. He did an absolutely amazing job at feeling the crowd and his song choices were on point. We said no to line dances, mostly no to 85% of the songs on the radio these days, and like to keep it 2000's and 90's hip hop/R&B and some EDM to end the night. DJ Wil definitely followed through. There was only 1 song change requested, and when it was brought to his attention, he transitioned it out like an absolute pro -- the track was gone in no time, but the transition was smooooooth. And speaking of transitions, there were NO awkward transitions to be found AT ALL this evening and that is something I would be darn proud to say. My wedding had kick *** music, which is also the feedback I've received from several guests, and it's all thanks to DJ Wil. (side note: we were guests at 2 weddings the week following our own and you truly don't know what you have until it's gone--the DJ's at these other 2 weddings only made us appreciate DJ Wil even MORE. No joke, they were rude, telling guests what to do, yelling at guests to be quiet, talking over people's speeches, just "pushing play" i.e. all you see is a macbook at the DJ booth, HORRIBLE at feeling the crowd and playing the absolute WORST songs at the WORST times i.e. wtf I can't dance to this song what are you thinking.... ugh seriously DJ Wil was amazing and we couldn't have had a better DJ. If you want to avoid any of these thoughts during your own wedding, do yourself a favor: book DJ Wil, and be specific in what you want and do not want when it comes to your music!)

Rob and all the staff we worked with at Second Song were great! I vetted several DJs for my husband’s surprise 70th birthday celebration and selected Second Song live DJ because they were able to provide a soloist and a sax player to compliment the overall DJ experience. Our DJ was Ace, Sax Player Austin and singer Natalie. I booked 11 months in advance, had a phone meet and greet 6 weeks out and had several revisions to the itinerary as we got closer to the event. Any changes , questions or ideas I had were promptly acknowledged, answered and collaborated on which continually reassured me that Second Song took a personal interest in making our night one to remember. I also found out that Second Song is frequently hired by my employer, Providence Medical Center in Torrance, for their Foundation events.

Full custom theme weddings from San Francisco's leading indie DJs. Share your love of music with family and friends. We're here to help you make your wedding sound like the mixtape you exchanged when you first met.

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!

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played!

Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up.

We had the pleasure of having The Moon Units perform at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! We enjoyed working with Dylan, he was incredibly accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages to our big day, Dylan and the band were very professional, helping us sort out all the specific details well in advance. One of the highlights was when they specially learned a song for our first dance. It was such a personal touch that made the moment unforgettable. They also performed a beautiful acoustic rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" for our ceremony, which was perfect. They kept the energy high and the good vibes all night long. They curated a great set list for us and played a wonderful mix of oldies, classic rock hits, and modern pop that we and our guests loved. We can't recommend The Moon Units enough. They made our wedding night super fun and memorable. Check out their youtube/instagram and see for yourself why you should book them. I suggest just reaching out for an initial email/phone call w/ Dylan, who is friendly and a pleasure to work with.

DJ Nahchey and DASH entertainment do a great job coordinating all your musical needs for any type of event - for us it was our wedding. From the beginning it went smoothly and he and his team are very thorough and responsive. We chose DJ Becca who is very nice and was up our alley of musical taste. Our goal was for a dance vibe type of wedding but there were a few miscues with the songs she played. We’d hope she would read the room better and continue to play songs that she noticed people were enjoying but her transitions between songs were a bit odd. Nonetheless, she was a joy to work with and maybe with a bit more direction (our fault, not hers!) this would be a 5 star review. Highly recommend reaching out to DJ Nahchey and DASH Entertainment, they have many DJs to choose from!

We were beyond impressed with Justin as our DJ and MC for our wedding at Rancho De Las Palmas! Justin was highly recommended by our friends and did not disappoint. From the very beginning his professionalism stood out. We met before booking and the session was extremely informative. Justin also has his own site where you can add all your music preferences and add the information for your wedding day. Justin took time to meet with us multiple times leading up to our wedding to make sure we were completely comfortable with the flow of the day. He was on time, had all his own equipment for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, did a MIC check with our officiant, provided wireless microphones for ceremony and reception and included uplighting in our reception space. What was most impressive though was our dance floor being full ALL NIGHT. Justin truly knows how to read a room and keep guests of all ages engaged. We had an absolute blast dancing the night away and are still receiving tons of compliments about the music at our wedding!

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

Keith was the perfect DJ. Honestly! There is nothing that we would change about our wedding night, it was truly perfect. Keith is a class act professional who makes no compromise between quality and affordability. He values his clients and offers extraordinary service at an affordable price. I went in with high (but reasonable) expectations for our wedding night, and he definitely delivered above and beyond!! We had read other reviews of weddings that Keith had DJ’d where the clients were musicians and they had curated a specific type of music they wanted throughout the night, and he nailed it. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile, so I listen to a wide range of music, and I can also attest to just how amazing Keith’s music selection was! Part of a DJ’s job is to get you excited to go out on the dance floor, and we were already excited before the dancing began, because we just knew Keith was going to kill it (spoiler alert: he did!). He even mixed together multiple songs at once and it was amazing! Keith kept the atmosphere alive all night and there was never a dead moment. Most of the people were up and dancing, even people who have never been willing to dance before! It takes a skilled DJ to do that. It was electric. We had had a negative experience with another DJ company that we spoke to before we decided to look to Nocturnal Cafe, but just from the first conversation with Keith we knew he was our DJ. Keith was incredibly respectful to us, he was patient and understanding throughout the whole process, and he worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were going to have the best night of our lives. His process with his clients is great and made us feel very comfortable. He does a great job of avoiding the typical eye-roll cheesy songs (unless you request it, of course) and he picks songs that suit well for what you’re looking for. We gave him some songs/artists/genres we would like to hear (and some to songs to avoid) but we ultimately wanted to just give him an idea of what we were thinking and for him to use it as a guide more than a ‘must’. We gave him creative freedom to just let him work his magic and boy, was it magic that came out of those speakers!

He listened to and accommodated all of our song requests, including songs we did NOT want played, and took the time to check in with us during the wedding to make sure we ate and had a good time. After the wedding, my family kept commenting about how “great the DJ was.” We are so grateful Makai was a part of our big day! 10/10 would recommend!
