The Celebration DJ 
Rating: 4.9 (57 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google 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.

“My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to choose Joey (Cello Joe) and Brandon to help make our special day sparkle. Their attention to detail, guided by years of experience, allowed us to have the wedding we envisioned while avoiding many of the common pitfalls we might have encountered without them. They had creative ideas, were responsive to all of our questions, and brough an awesome presence on our wedding day. We highly recommend choosing The Celebration DJ Group for your wedding!”

“DJ Jas is an amazinggggg DJ. Not only is the skill and talent present, Justin is also extremely good at communicating, accommodation and making sure the client is getting what they hope for. His mixes are amazing and he knows exactly which song flows into the next. My wedding was full of musician guests and the amount of people (musicians and not) that came up to me saying this was the best DJ really tells you something. My sister has an upcoming wedding next year and I already recommended him as she loved the music and good times at mine. He really got the crowd excited and followed cue lines to introduce different events happening that night. He was extremely professional and on top of it. Any event that is in need of DJ/music I would recommend DJ Jas 100%”

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.

“We had DJ Blasé dj our wedding ceremony, and he did a phenomenal job!! He knew exactly how to keep our special moment romantic and memorable. He played music that created a warm, loving atmosphere, that didn’t take away from the focus of our wedding: us! He was engaged, but not to the point of overwhelming the ceremony. He was involved, but not distracting. Even better, he was kind and thoughtful. Thanks again, Blasé!”

“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!”

“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!”

DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (42 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. 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.

“DJ Dominiq was the DJ for our wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in October 2024, and choosing him was one of the easiest decisions we made. I’m also a wedding planner and have worked with Dominiq for many years on countless weddings, and that long-standing professional relationship is exactly why we chose him for our own wedding. My fiancé is extremely particular about music, especially transitions, flow, and reading the dance floor. We wanted a party that felt elevated, fun, and alive, without the undertone of a corny MC or over-the-top DJ personality. Dominiq absolutely nailed this. The music flowed seamlessly, the energy never dipped, and the dance floor stayed full because he truly knows how to read a room. Even though Dominiq knows us well and has worked with us many times, he still scheduled a final meeting a week prior to the wedding. That meeting meant a lot to us, it showed how much he genuinely listens and cares about understanding each couple’s specific wants and needs. We felt completely heard and confident going into the wedding day. From a professional standpoint, Dominiq is everything you want in a vendor: always on time, always prepared, impeccably dressed, and consistently professional. he also has the best equipment and the best speakers. Coming from a person who works with a lot of DJs. I have very often seen really terrible speakers used at a wedding which means you can’t hear the MC and everything is muffled that was not the case with Dominiq. He brings a calm confidence to every event and elevates the overall experience for both couples and vendors alike. I can honestly say, as both a bride and a wedding planner, I highly recommend DJ Dominiq. He is incredibly talented, reliable, and truly one of the best in the industry.”

They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day.
