The Celebration DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (41 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves San Mateo, CA
  • Offer

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon was an outstanding DJ who supported our wedding this last February. I loved that he had outfit options, as our wedding was themed "Love Through the Ages" and we requested all of our guests to wear attire from their favorite decade. It was fabulous that we were able to pick his super awesome outfit to stand out (and in theme) for the wedding. He curated the most amazing playlist, based on our theme, so we got to drift through music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and all the way through to current day. He is such a charismatic and engaging host and was able to convince folks (who I never thought would have danced) to get onto the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Brandon's talents and feel so grateful that The Knot had him on their vendor list for us to find.

We’re so glad we had the Cosmo Alley Cats as our wedding band, they brought such amazing energy and elegance to the evening. They looked sharp, sounded incredible, and created a romantic, lively atmosphere that felt both classic and fun. Emily, the lead singer, was outstanding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Bellissima Music highly enough. They performed for my engagement proposal this past Saturday, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I had a specific vision for the atmosphere I wanted to create, and they took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. Their guidance and professionalism made the entire process stress-free. One thing that really stood out was the music curation. I provided a list of songs that were meaningful to my fiancée and me, and Bellissima Music helped shape a setlist that was absolutely perfect. The song selections and transitions felt natural and created the exact mood I had hoped for. Hearing those songs performed live on violin made the moment even more special and memorable. My fiancee was in tears hearing the music and others at the winery came up to us asking questions about them/where did I find them. On the day of the proposal, everything was executed flawlessly. They eased my nerves of the proposal. Their performance added an elegant and emotional touch that elevated the entire experience, and several of our family members commented on how beautiful the music was. Thank you, Bellissima Music, for helping create one of the most important and unforgettable moments of our lives. I am incredibly grateful for your talent, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.

Golden Bell Music was worth EVERY penny AND MORE! It's been 6 months since my wedding and I'm STILL getting comments on how much fun all our guests had! Even my mother-in-law who doesn't dance did NOT sit down! I'm Lebanese and my husband is Israeli, so I had asked for help mixing songs to combine our cultures and then move into more western music. I'm still getting sooooo many compliments from our families on how we were able to combine our traditions and our music! And our guests LOST IT when they came out on the dance floor with their instruments and danced with us! I did this in lieu of a zaffet group because i wanted something more unique -- in lebanon a drumline would follow the bride and groom and dance/perform for guests -- and it was definitely the right choice!!! On top of their amazing performance, Marlon was **insanely helpful** both leading up to the day and on the day. I didn't have a wedding planner and was making last minute decisions/timeline changes myself the day of. I couldn't have done it so smoothly without Marlon being so helpful as an MC and being so willing to roll with it! He was absolutely fantastic!! Cut your budget wherever you can to make sure you can hire them. It's SO worth it! Thank you Golden Bell Music for making it the best day of summer (so i've been told. multiple times. by different guests.)!! I don't know for what occasion, but I'm 100% going to find a reason to hire them again.

We are so grateful for the role he played in making our wedding celebration a historical unforgettable memory.
