The Celebration DJ

  • 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 and his team did a fantastic job! Despite the cold weather, my wife and I and our friends and family had an awesome time. We enjoyed the sound from our wireless mics, the pacing of the dinner music, the props and funny pics from the photo booth, and the energy on the dance floor. We almost didn’t get the Photo Booth, but we added it in last minute and we're glad we did. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. Great vibes all around.

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

Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

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!!

We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

They brought the best energy to the day, with a perfectly curated playlist that had guests dancing all night long. Their positive vibes and ability to read the room kept the party going and created an unforgettable atmosphere. DJ Tye & Mike are true pros who know how to bring the fun and keep everyone on their feet. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for an energetic, talented DJ duo who can really get the party started! xx, Koral & Ko.

It was so easy to work with Exemplar Sound and we enjoyed having Christian as our DJ! We had an older crowd but me and my younger friends were on the dance floor all night and he made sure to keep the party going- even coming out on the floor to dance with us! The only suggestion I heard from my friends was there could have been a better job of reading the room- not many slower songs were played while the older couples were still there and I’m sure that would have gotten them on the floor. Overall our experience with Corbin and the team was smooth!
