San Diego, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300

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.

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

San Diego, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

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.

We had THE BEST time at our wedding!! Everyone was beaming about how much fun DJ Cameron was and how much fun they had on our dance floor! DJ Cameron Martin was the best! He didn’t just play from a playlist but actually live mixed the music and DJ’d the same way you'd hear at a nightclub... unlike so many weddings we’ve been to. We danced for hours and he kept the energy at a peak from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. THANK YOU DJ CAMERON!!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

During the cocktail hour, their repertoire created a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that our guests couldn’t stop talking about—many assumed the music was a recording because it was that flawless.

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’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 are so glad we booked Michael. Music is really important to my husband and me, and after talking to around 10 different DJs, no one stood out the way he did. As soon as we spoke with Michael from Holmes Entertainment, we knew he was the one. He is easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. Working with him was just easy. He is organized and made the whole planning process feel simple and low stress. Anytime we had a question or needed to change something, he was quick to respond and easy to get a hold of. On the wedding day, he was so good on the mic. He kept everyone hyped, made our grand entrance so much fun, and kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Michael. We would absolutely book him again for another event in the future.

It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it! He is extremely professional and worked with us to make sure that his performance matched our vision. He also played during cocktail hour and did a great job with our guests and playing amazing music!
