Vibe Group Creations 
Rating: 5.0 (90 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

Vibe Group Creations is a professional DJ & MC company based in Temecula, CA. My approach is simple: play music that makes people smile, feel good, and want to celebrate. Your playlists give me the blueprint, then I mix live, read the crowd, and adjust to the energy in the room. With 18+ years of experience and over 1,500 events, I’m confident I can provide the right soundtrack for your wedding. Check out my Instagram for actual footage of me DJing and MCing with real live audio. No music added over the videos. What you hear is what happened at that moment. Don’t hire a playlist. Hire someone who knows how to read the room and has the footage and reviews to back it up. Instagram: vibegroupcreations

“Dennis knew what to play and when to play songs. We haven’t danced that much in a long time — maybe since our dating days :) We gave him our special songs and he handled the rest like a professional. Dennis was great and we highly recommend him!”

From the moment they arrive for setup to the final song of the night, their team operates with a level of precision and energy that is rare in this industry. What sets them apart isn't just their ability to read a room—though they are masters at keeping a dance floor packed—it’s their seamless communication with the rest of the vendor team. They understand the flow of a wedding perfectly, ensuring that every transition is polished and every announcement is clear. When Tempoe is behind the booth, I know the timeline will be respected, the atmosphere will be electric, and the couple will be thrilled.

All of our guests separately commented on how amazing they were. They did such a great rendition of our wedding song as well which they learned just for us!

“If you're considering booking The Mighty Untouchables for your wedding, stop considering and BOOK right now! We were new to the San Diego area when we got engaged, and our wedding planner recommended The Mighty Untouchables. We had not heard them live, which made me nervous, but we took a chance and booked them anyway. Best. Decision. Ever. Our wedding was a BLAST due in large part to the band keeping the dance floor packed the whole time. We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context). We agree! Beyond their musical talent, The Mighty Untouchables were so kind to my husband and I on our big day, along with all of our guests. I am so thankful we got to work together. Just trust me: you won't regret The Mighty Untouchables. Thank you for helping make our wedding the most incredible day!”

“Jimn was such a great pick for our wedding. Before our wedding we went on this website filling out music for our wedding, a week before we had a phone call going over the music, talking about ourselves and feeling each others vibes. I was worried because my husband and I have awkward families so I thought no one would dance. Jimn told us we can trust him and he’ll make it happen. Jimn answered any questions we had. Day of our wedding Jimn played all of our favorite music plus more. Right before our grand entrance he came and checked in with my wedding party making sure everyone’s names were right and hyped us up!! Our grand entrance was super fun and definitely hyped everyone up! Jimn definitely felt out the vibe of our guests and knew exactly what to play. Once Jimn realized how much I loved Justin Bieber he made sure to play a lot more which I loved lol!! He chatted with us a few times and was great to talk to. Jimn is definitely someone you would want to have at your event kind, interactive, hypes everyone up and really knows his music. We can’t thank him enough for making our wedding night so much fun and special. We paid 1175 for 4 and 1/2 hours”

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.

“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!”

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.”

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!!”

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!!!!”

“Ryan Hiller from Socal Wedding Music was the perfect choice for our wedding music. From the beginning, his communication style was punctual and responsive. The attention to detail he put into customizing the music for our event was exceptional, ensuring the performance perfectly matched our tastes and got all of our guests on the dance floor. His live music was of very high-quality, and his DJ/MC work kept the party going all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience on our special day!”

Rob Andrew - San Diego Guitarist 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

Your wedding day deserves music as beautiful as the moment itself. I'm Rob Andrew, a classically trained guitarist with 200+ weddings performed across San Diego County, including The Lodge at Torrey Pines, Rancho Valencia, and Paradise Point. I hold a Master of Music from San Diego State and a BA in guitar performance from UC San Diego, with training from the legendary Los Romeros quartet. From ceremony processionals to cocktail hours of Latin, Bossa Nova, and Flamenco, I tailor every performance to your vision. Solo guitar, duets, and ensembles are available, with discreet amplification so every guest hears the music beautifully.

“Rob Andrew was the perfect choice for our wedding, and honestly, it wasn't our first time working with him since we'd hired him before for Spanish guitar at art openings where he created the ideal atmosphere. From our first conversation, he was easy to reach and always offered thoughtful suggestions that made planning stress-free. For our big day, he played solo during the ceremony and then brought in a talented vocalist, Sara, for Basso Nova music during the reception, which was exactly what we wanted. His skill and professionalism really shined through, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the entertainment. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Rob to any couple looking for a guitarist who actually listens to what you want and delivers.”

Although the band itself was formed only in 2021, its members have been members of other rock bands for several decades. From Blondie to The Pretenders, Tom Petty, the Doobies, U2 and the Cars to Journey, sprinkled with contemporary songs Rewind! entertains with crowd pleasing, generation spanning, Rock & Roll.

“We had the most wonderful time having Rewind! play our wedding, and we got sooo many compliments from our guests. Mel was an awesome emcee, and the band played the best 80s hits and got the crowd up and dancing. We even had one friend tell us that, after this, he would refuse to go to a wedding without a live band again. Rewind! was super warm and professional, but also in our budget in these crazy inflation times. They even worked with us to create some special touches, which made it all the more memorable.”
