I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Precise Blend. James and his wife Michelle made my special day so memorable and they were so personable. I was very indecisive about the music for the ceremony and the timing, James took initiative and helped with the flow of evening. Everything went so smoothly and we danced the night away! I can’t thank them enough!

Marlon!! YOU AND YOUR MUSICIANS ARE AMAZING!! All our guests can’t stop talking about how fun all the music details were and we have you to thank for all of it!

The Celebration DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Santa Cruz, 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.

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!

Working with HSLE Production Group was a fantastic experience for our wedding. From the very beginning, Aaron and his team demonstrated excellent communication, holding several Zoom calls with us to thoroughly plan out every detail of the event. They were incredibly helpful in figuring out all the technical aspects, and their level of professionalism was top-notch. On the day of our wedding, Aaron and his crew made sure that friends and family watching from home were able to live stream the ceremony, and they worked seamlessly with our event coordinator to ensure the timeline went off without a hitch. Aaron had been working with us for months leading up to the big day, triple-checking every detail to make sure everything happened exactly as we wanted. We are so grateful for the incredible service HSLE provided - they truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect.

DJ Shazam - DJ & Entertainment

Santa Cruz, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500

Your vibe at it's full potential. Based in Santa Cruz, CA, DJ Shazam fuses eclectic playlists with seamless production to give modern, multi-cultural couples a dance-floor story they’ll talk about for years—without the planning stress. Please see DJ Shazam up-to-date and in action on his Instagram: djshazam_sc

Do yourself a favor and hire Adam/DJ Shazam now.  Days after the wedding, we still had people reaching out to tell us how great Adam was: “DJ Shazam was everything.” “He was so good. That was the most fun we’ve had at a wedding since ours.” Beyond obviously bringing the party and good vibes, Adam was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We never expected our DJ to actually want to get to know us, but on every call leading up to the wedding, Adam made it a point to understand who we are and what we envisioned for the day. He asked thoughtful, detailed questions that showed how deeply he cares about creating something more meaningful than just a bomb set list (which, he absolutely overdelivers on). He builds an experience that feels personal, intentional, and wildly fun. Wedding planning can be stressful, but every time we talked to Adam, it reminded us why we were doing all of this and got us genuinely excited for the big day. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s extremely organized, professional, and able to take your ideas (or help you figure them out) and make them even better - hire Adam/DJ Shazam now. You want the classics? He’s got ‘em. You want a fresh twist on the classics that’ll get your crowd hyped, even if you don’t quite know what that looks like? He’s got that too.  Adam, thank you so much. You were truly a highlight of both the day and the entire planning process. We’d hire you 100 times over and crash any wedding you’re a part of!

There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!

He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

Keith was the perfect DJ. Honestly! There is nothing that we would change about our wedding night, it was truly perfect. Keith is a class act professional who makes no compromise between quality and affordability. He values his clients and offers extraordinary service at an affordable price. I went in with high (but reasonable) expectations for our wedding night, and he definitely delivered above and beyond!! We had read other reviews of weddings that Keith had DJ’d where the clients were musicians and they had curated a specific type of music they wanted throughout the night, and he nailed it. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile, so I listen to a wide range of music, and I can also attest to just how amazing Keith’s music selection was! Part of a DJ’s job is to get you excited to go out on the dance floor, and we were already excited before the dancing began, because we just knew Keith was going to kill it (spoiler alert: he did!). He even mixed together multiple songs at once and it was amazing! Keith kept the atmosphere alive all night and there was never a dead moment. Most of the people were up and dancing, even people who have never been willing to dance before! It takes a skilled DJ to do that. It was electric. We had had a negative experience with another DJ company that we spoke to before we decided to look to Nocturnal Cafe, but just from the first conversation with Keith we knew he was our DJ. Keith was incredibly respectful to us, he was patient and understanding throughout the whole process, and he worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were going to have the best night of our lives. His process with his clients is great and made us feel very comfortable. He does a great job of avoiding the typical eye-roll cheesy songs (unless you request it, of course) and he picks songs that suit well for what you’re looking for. We gave him some songs/artists/genres we would like to hear (and some to songs to avoid) but we ultimately wanted to just give him an idea of what we were thinking and for him to use it as a guide more than a ‘must’. We gave him creative freedom to just let him work his magic and boy, was it magic that came out of those speakers!

We had the pleasure of having Wedding Serenade, a talented violinist, perform at our wedding ceremony. From our very first interaction, they were incredibly responsive and communicative, answering all of our questions promptly and working closely with us to ensure the music perfectly complemented our vision for the day. On the wedding day, they arrived early and seamlessly integrated into the ceremony, playing a beautiful, elegant selection of classical and contemporary pieces that set the most romantic and joyful tone.

Owl Sessions Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Jay's communication was prompt, personable, and responsible. She was punctual in all of our planning meetings and incredibly friendly throughout the process. Jay demonstrated that she is a hard worker who is thorough and truly knows how to create a fun atmosphere. She made sure to ask about our music preferences and played all the must-have songs that got our guests dancing (even though we didn't have a dance floor).

San Francisco Guitarist and DJ Christopher Nicklin, that travels all over the US performing at Weddings and Private events.

With over a decade performing and appearing on CBS, he has had the pleasure of providing music for Govenor Gavin Newsom, grammy-winning artists, Hollywood celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies.

Chris Nicklin was absolutely amazing at my husband and I’s vow renewal! We were looking for a musician who could play a romantic, magical, fun, and upbeat setlist—and he absolutely delivered! He captivated our guests with the diverse range of music he performed during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. During the cocktail hour, he even interacted with our guests, ensuring they had a fantastic time. Everyone couldn’t stop raving about his performances and, to this day, they still talk about what an incredible guitarist Chris is! One of the most special moments of the evening was when Chris accompanied me on guitar as I serenaded my husband at the reception. He was so patient and supportive, offering helpful guidance to ensure the performance was perfect. It was such a beautiful and memorable moment, thanks to Chris’s expertise. I highly recommend Chris Nicklin as a guitarist for weddings or any special event. He has a remarkable ability to create the perfect atmosphere, tailoring the vibe to match the tone of the wedding and the energy of the guests. He’s truly exceptional!
