Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional, getting everyone excited and joyful. They were also great communicators and wonderful to work with, offering helpful ideas and accommodating all our requests. If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Modern Highway. Highly recommended!

We are so happy we decided to work with Golden Bell for our wedding day music! My husband and I wanted the flexibility of a DJ with the high-energy and interactivity of a band, and Golden Bell delivered. The DJ/band hybrid got all of our guests out on the dance floor, and kept them there all night. We heard from so many guests that it was the most fun wedding reception they'd been to, and Scott and the team made that happen.

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.

So the music for our wedding was CRUCIAL for me as it had to be PERFECT. I knew that dance floor had to be LIT. I randomly came across an Instagram video of Justin mixing songs and knew he was the guy to pull it off. It was the exact high energy and excitement we wanted. Justin took so many calls and texts from us explaining each vision that we had from our first dance to special surprise dances and moments even custom mixing tracks for us. No matter the time or day or random thought I had he was totally reachable and ON BOARD. After the wedding we had so many compliments from people about our dance floor and music. Truly it was a BLAST and we could not have done it without Justin. Not to mention great MC skills he totally knew exactly when and how to queue us. The dance floor was going off so much so that we didn't even change songs for the cake cutting and kept it going till we had to shut down El Paseo. BOOK JUSTIN

### 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

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 Second Song and specifically DJ Mac DJ our wedding. We had SUCH a blast at our wedding and heard after the fact from many people what a blast they had and how they couldn't ever leave the dance floor when constant hits were playing. Mac was so easy to work with and personable, and his charisma shined on our wedding day without ever taking away from anything. He was great at keeping up the energy. As the bride, I danced practically the entire time. He also did an excellent job with the sound set up for our ceremony. We also really liked working with Second Song in general - they made selecting a DJ easy and their music planner was super helpful. I'd highly recommend Mac and Second Song!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Seth from Vital Event Group for our September wedding, and he exceeded every expectation! From the start, Seth’s professionalism and easy-going nature made the planning process stress-free. His use of the Vibo app was such a game-changer—it allowed us to easily upload our song selections and ceremony/reception timeline details, making communication and organization effortless. We gave Seth just a handful of songs to set the vibe, and he curated an incredible playlist that perfectly matched the energy we wanted. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to the dance floor—when guests weren’t feeling a particular track, Seth quickly pivoted and got everyone back on their feet. By the end of the night, the energy was sky-high, and our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had! On top of all that, Seth’s DJ booth setup was sleek and clean, and we loved being able to display our photos and videos on his screen—it added such a personal and unique touch to the night. We can’t recommend Seth and Vital Event Group enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, adaptable, and truly knows how to keep the party alive, Seth is the one! Thanks Seth!!

Tyler was AMAZING to work with! From start to finish, he was super responsive, amicable and bought some really fun ideas to the table. 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. Our guests were enamored with him and til this day are still talking about "the sax guy". No one left the dance floor all night, thanks to his energy and engagement. If you're still on the fence, the answer is yes... HIRE HIM!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’d experienced some strange DJ moments at other weddings - airhorns, over the top transitions, self advertising - so we were feeling picky as we embarked on the first DJ search of our own. Celebration DJ stood out to us, and the ability to hire a DJ who can also sing and play guitar was an enticing combo. Brandon did a fabulous job bringing his professional experience to the day - we really wanted a packed dance floor and he delivered. The photobooth and its quirky props were a huge hit with our guests, and the GIFs that were available afterwards are so fun and unique! We also loved that we could collaborate on playlists via Spotify - made it easy and now we can continue to listen to our wedding music for years to come. Thank you Brandon and the Celebration DJ team!

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!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!
