The Celebration DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (41 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Santa Barbara, 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 the perfect DJ for our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens! Our venue had multiple tricky constraints, including needing to break down all equipment immediately after each area was used. Other DJs told us that this venue was a nightmare for them in the past, but Brandon and his team had experience at the gardens and a plan for how to handle their particular rules. Brandon was organized, communicative, fun - and his blazer matched the occasion perfectly! He also kept things classy and never felt like a hypey club DJ the night of our wedding. Highly recommend him and his team :)

First of all, the booking process with AZBESTDJ Team was a breeze . We booked directly with DJ Daniel, the owner and team leader of AZBESTDJ Team. About a month before our wedding, he let us know he would personally be our DJ on our big day which made us even more excited. A few weeks before the wedding, Daniel took the time to go over our music ideas, from the ceremony to the dance floor. On our wedding day, he timed our processional music perfectly and gave a heartfelt introduction before my dad's toast that meant a lot to our family. If you want a DJ who truly listens, cares about the details, and puts your music first, we highly recommend AZBESTDJ Team.

Hiring DJ Jas was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend. He handled everything: our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, Baraat, ceremony, reception, choreographed dances, and the full dance floor - and absolutely crushed every single moment. From day one, he was incredibly thorough and intentional in his preparation. He met with us as often as we wanted, took the time to really understand us as a couple, and made the entire collaboration feel effortless. He welcomed our playlists and suggestions, but also took creative ownership in a way that elevated everything. The result? There was never a dull moment. The dance floor was electric. Truly. He had it rocking all night long. Multiple guests came up to us throughout the weekend saying how incredible the DJ was and how much the music stood out across all of our events. And the Baraat… that was next level. This is a non-traditional element for many DJs, but he embraced it fully and CRUSHED it. Mobbed down State Street with him by our side, music blasting, our friends and family dancing through the streets - it was one of the best moments of our lives. He understood the cultural importance and delivered beyond what we imagined. Beyond his talent, he genuinely cared about us. He was easy to talk to, always available for questions, calm, collaborative, and fully invested in making our wedding unforgettable. We truly couldn’t imagine a better DJ for our weekend. If you want a packed dance floor, flawless execution, and someone who deeply cares about getting it right - DJ JAS is your guy. Could not recommend more.

### Review for Ozella Events We hired Ozella for our wedding in Ojai in 2021, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day, she was incredibly easy to work with and professional in every aspect. Ozella's performance was absolutely stunning. She sang all the songs we requested as if she had known them for years, bringing a level of emotion and authenticity that moved everyone present. Her piano abilities were equally impressive, adding a beautiful, live element to our ceremony and reception. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our specific requests made the planning process stress-free. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and versatile singer for your event, we highly recommend Ozella. She made our special day unforgettable. — Lou & Simon Ojai, 2021

DJ Blasé 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Santa Barbara, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Hi! My name is Tommy - AKA, DJ Blasé. I've been a DJ for 6 years now - I love being able to bring people together through the power of music! I DJ events ranging from weddings to birthday parties, brunches to dances, and each time, I find myself getting the most joy from watching strangers connect with each other on the dance floor. To me, that's the most important part of my job: helping people connect with one another.

Working with DJ Blasé was a seamless experience from start to finish. His communication throughout the planning process was efficient and timely, making it easy to coordinate all the details leading up to the wedding day. What stood out the most was how they took the time to learn which songs were meaningful to us as a couple and incorporated those into the reception while still keeping the dance floor packed with tracks everyone wanted to hear. They brought a unique and conceptual approach to the night that elevated it beyond just playing music—it felt like they genuinely understood the vibe we were going for. If you're looking for a DJ who delivers both professionalism and fun, DJ Blasé is absolutely worth booking.

DJ Nico curates unforgettable nights through sound. Known for blending modern beats with timeless energy, he brings a sleek, high-end touch to every celebration. Whether it’s a luxury wedding, private event, or dance floor takeover, DJ Nico creates moments guests remember — and vibes they’ll never forget. He specializes in small-to-mid-sized weddings where couples want a personal, high-energy experience with zero cheesy DJ stuff.

On Sept 21, my lovely new wife Annie and I were married in Santa Barbara. Prior to the wedding, we'd spent weeks trying to track down a DJ who could both provide our reception with great music, but also provide live-sound for our beach-wedding. DJ Nico not only provided the microphones on the beach so our guests could hear our vows clearly, but also played the music before hand for our guests to enjoy.

We had a great experience working with DJ Joe and cannot recommend his services enough! From the very beginning we got great vibes from Joe and did not feel embarrassed to tell him about some of our silly music choices. Joe kept the dance floor alive all night and was professional and quick when it came to answering any questions we had throughout the process. He was able to help my husband set up and sound check for a surprise live music performance he gave for the reception and was able to keep it a surprise for me as well. Joe also was very prepared for working with our videographers and offered to set up a tripod for my maid of honor who ended up not being able to make it so we could FaceTime her. Thanks so much for everything Joe!

DJ Hecktik (Josh) was the absolute man. We gave him a list of songs, and he did the rest. His transition skills are the stuff of legends. He had the dance floor rocking all night! He's very versatile too. He switched from oldies to throwback rap bangers to slow dance songs seamlessly! Everyone kept saying "the DJ is killing it". He's also just genuinely a good dude! I felt very comfortable on calls with him and was very happy to have him MC my wedding day. If you are lucky enough to book DJ Hecktik, I cannot recommend enough!

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.

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.

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!

I am so happy to write a review for Seth and his team! From the very beginning, Seth has been a pleasure to work with. The first meeting I was very impressed by how he had researched the wedding venue and its layout so that he could ask us what our thoughts were on setup/DJ location placement etc. Our second meeting was then focused on how to set up the wedding playlist using the Vibo app. The app is fantastic, and an excellent way to keep track of the songs you wish to have played at certain time points (bridal processional, grand entrance, pre-ceremony, etc.). In the app you can request starting timepoints and leave extra notes for Seth to look over weeks before the wedding. Aside from these aspects, Seth went above and beyond to help us with other non-music related aspects of the wedding such as our wedding slideshow (that he helped give us step by step instructions so that the quality of the slideshow would be good for when it was projected on the wall of venue). He also created a mashup for my husband to dance with his mom ("Dance with me" mixed with "Just Dance"; it was amazing!). Even during the week of the wedding, when I had a mini-freak out, he was so kind and understanding. In the end, I 100% recommend Seth (and Matt too! He was at the Photo Booth, and he was so kind and was ready to help folks if any technical help was needed)! Seth's team is professional, kind, and has great attention to detail; if you can, book DJ Seth and his team for your wedding!
