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!

The people at the reception had so much fun dancing the night away thanks to Joe, the DJ, who was excellent. Joe led the guests in fun dances and kept us all pumped up! Even the groom, who is not a big dancer (yet!), was super impressed with Joe's work - which is saying a lot. Tempoe provided great value and quality service that contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. Joe also helped a lot with getting us to think through some of wedding details.

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!

He was open to our ideas too and provided 3 custom song edits for our wedding. His talent stretches far beyond just DJing -- he played piano for our ceremony and saxophone during cocktail hour and reception.

TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!

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 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.

Tyler was absolutely incredible - one of the true highlights of our wedding! He was so easy to work with from start to finish and put so much thought into every song, creating beautiful instrumental versions of the pieces we requested. We had him play for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and grand entrances, and he absolutely nailed every moment. His communication was excellent - always quick to reply and genuinely went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about him all day! I can’t imagine our wedding without him.

DJ Czar went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ran smoothly. From planning to the day-of, Czar thought of everything so that we didn't have to worry about any loose ends. He is a great communicator and extends a sense of peace and positivity that allowed us to enjoy the whole process and go through our big day with minimal worry. We gave him a short list of must play songs, along with a couple of genre and artist preferences and he got the mix for our night perfectly. Our guests had lots of fun and didn't stop dancing until the end of the night. We recommend Czar 100% and hope to hire him again for any future family parties!

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!

DJ AUSTO IS THE BEST WEDDING DJ. HANDS DOWN! Before we hired him he wanted to set up a zoom call to meet us and see if he was a good fit for our style. Right from our first conversation, he was so easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable. It felt like we've known him for years even though it was our first encounter. He was super friendly, amazing energy, and has a great personality. When it came to the music, he nailed it! He played exactly what we wanted, but he also added his own little twist that made it even better!! He totally understood the vibe we were going for and kept the dance floor packed all night long. What we loved most about him was that he gave us the freedom to choose. He let us have a say in every aspect of the music, from the special songs to the overall genre. It was so awesome to have that kind of control and he made it all happen seamlessly! He knew how to read the crowd like a pro! He had this knack for playing the right songs at the right time, keeping the energy high and the party going. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. SO HYPE!

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 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!)

We hired Dj MikeB for our wedding in North County San Diego. We were so grateful that he and his assistant, Joanne traveled to our wedding and helped us with having the best day ever! He was responsive from the start when I first inquired about his services. What stuck out to us was his level of professionalism including his website and having his packages clearly listed out, unlike other DJs we were looking into. In addition, what ultimately helped us decide to go with Dj MikeB was the fact that not only does he specialize with weddings, but he also DJs at nightclubs and we saw that he focuses on salsa/bachata which was important to us since my husband’s family is Mexican. He was able to read the crowd and kept our guests on the dance floor throughout our night! We wanted a variety of different music played and he was able to provide that. Also at the end of the night, we wanted our reception to turn into a mini rave which he was able to do! Dj MikeB and his assistant went out of their way to make sure we had a great time! He allowed us to come into the DJ booth and mess with the cdjs. Also, we later learned from our guests that they helped make sure her phone was charged and even brought her phone to her later. Also, the dancing on clouds, was something was included in our package and made for the most beautiful pictures! Thanks again Dj MikeB!

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 .

We hired Second Song to DJ our wedding and we are totally happy with the results! Rob was great to work with and provided different options for the services. We ended up with a great balance of great cost and services that met our needs. Rob was equally great during the contracting process since we wanted a few updates to their standard contract. Rob then lined up Kev the DJ and Kev was fantastic! We had a couple of meetings to work out the music we wanted Kev to play, and he provided really good suggestions on how best to organize the music. On the day of the wedding Kev joined us at our hotel before the wedding for a quick rehearsal of the ceremony. At the wedding Kev brought incredible energy as the MC and kept the music flowing perfectly as the DJ. Kev was so great sometimes I was hanging out with him. Suffice it to say that we highly recommend Second Song as your first choice to DJ your wedding or another event!

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians. They always arrive on time, are professional, and execute exactly what the bride and groom envision, flawlessly. I highly recommend Tara and her team to anyone looking for top-tier live musicians for their wedding or special event.

My family and friends kept asking me “Is this your playlist?” and I said, “No, that’s our DJ’s”. We gave Dennis a few songs to play and rest was up to him. And he did an awesome job! He kept everyone singing and dancing all night! We’re so glad we booked him.

We booked Conner and his live saxophone player for our wedding in July and they were a HIT! Conner has such an awesome portfolio of experience he is truly changing the reputation of what it means to be a wedding DJ. He does so much more. He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception. If your goal is to create an elevated, luxurious guest experience, BOOK HIM! P.S. Our photographer said our wedding had the most packed dance floor the entire night that she's ever seen... only a killer DJ could do that!
