“As a fellow wedding professional, I cannot recommend Tempoe Entertainment DJs enough. 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. If you are looking for a partner who is as technically skilled as they are easy to work with, look no further!”

  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA

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 :)”

“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.”

“From the very beginning, working with Joe was an incredible experience. Joe was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process, and he made himself available for phone calls whenever we had questions or wanted to go over details. The music planning forms were easy to use and made organizing everything—from our ceremony music to the reception—simple and stress-free. Our venue had several different areas that all required separate sound setups, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, and everything transitioned seamlessly. One of the biggest challenges was that our ceremony location didn't have electrical power, but Joe came fully prepared with a system that worked flawlessly. Every ceremony cue was timed perfectly, and hearing each song start exactly when it was supposed to made the ceremony feel even more special. Throughout the reception, Joe kept everything running smoothly. The sound quality was excellent, announcements were clear, and he did an outstanding job reading the crowd while also honoring the atmosphere and music we wanted. The dance floor stayed full all night, and we've had so many guests tell us how much fun they had. If you're looking for a professional, organized, and talented wedding DJ, I can't recommend Joe enough. He exceeded our expectations in every way and played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable.”

“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.

“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.

“There aren't enough words to describe Tyler's impact on our wedding. From the months of thoughtful coordination leading up to the day, to the energy and effort he brought to reate something truly unforgettable, his work was unmatched. From start to finish, Tyler and his team were on-site and locked in. His attention to detail and passion for his craft are noticeable from the very first email. He has this incredible energy for turning ideas into reality, and it never lets up. When we started planning, we had a lot of ideas but no real vision for how to execute them. Tyler changed that. We'd send him a handful of songs and he'd come back within days with custom remixes to react to. If we had a thought for a certain moment in the night, he'd help us shape it into something that would actually land. Having his experience to lean on throughout the process was invaluable. The day itself was something truly unforgettable. Watching everything we had envisioned come to life was surreal. From the piano welcoming guests as they arrived, to the surprise saxophone as we walked back down the aisle, to the incredible light show and DJ set at the reception, every moment felt intentional and unique. Tyler created an atmosphere unlike anything we had ever experienced, and he was easily the most talked-about part of the night. Our guests are still raving about him and the experience he created. If you're looking for a wedding DJ, look no further. This is the full experience, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice passing on the opportunity to work with Tyler on your day.”

“Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!”

He was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to understand our vision for the music and vibe of our wedding. On the day of, Dominiq's energy and enthusiasm were infectious - he really got my more reserved family members out on the dance floor, leading them in fun group dances like the Macarena. The music was perfectly timed, and he even helped make our first dance extra special by cueing the song at just the right moment. As a busy veterinarian, I really appreciated how on top of communication Dominiq was when it came to finalizing the song choices. Our wedding was almost 6 years ago, and to this day my family is still raving about how amazing the music and overall vibe was thanks to Dominiq's fantastic work. We couldn't recommend him more highly! He even captured this amazing photo of our first dance! It’s beautifully displayed in our living room.
