“DJ Inessa was absolutely wonderful! From the beginning, she was incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely invested in making our wedding feel like us. What impressed me most was how much she helped beyond simply being our DJ. She helped coordinate the flow of the reception, communicated with us throughout the process, kept track of important details, and helped make sure everything transitioned smoothly. When you’re getting married, there are a hundred tiny things happening at once, and having someone who notices those details before you even have to ask is incredibly valuable. Our wedding brought together two culturally different families, and she did such a beautiful job making everyone feel included. The music and atmosphere never felt like one side of the family was being asked to fit into the other. It felt like one celebration created specifically for us. One of our favorite moments was the flower girl dance. Our flower girls absolutely loved it! Seeing how excited and happy they were out there dancing was such a sweet part of the night, and it gave them their own special moment that they’ll remember. Their smiles said everything. Another moment that really showed the kind of person Inessa is was when she actually came out and danced in a circle with the little kids. She wasn’t standing behind the DJ booth simply watching everyone have fun. She got down there with them, joined their little circle, danced with them, and made them feel like they were an important part of the celebration. Watching the kids light up around her was incredibly sweet. That small moment said so much about how caring and kind she is. She was warm with our guests, flexible when things needed adjusting, and calm when we needed direction. Instead of feeling like we simply hired a DJ, it felt like we had another person on our team who genuinely wanted the night to go beautifully. We are so grateful for everything DJ Inessa did for us. She helped turn a complicated day with a lot of moving pieces into a happy, memorable celebration. I would absolutely recommend her to another couple. Five stars without hesitation!”

  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

We're live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We're here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Diamond Empire are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Our talented and professional musicians have performed regularly with touring and recording artists including Aretha Franklin, Bruno Mars, Charli XCX, Janelle Monae, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, The Lumineers, and Rihanna, as well as working and touring with numerous Broadway shows.

“Having a live band at our wedding was our top priority. We first went to a showcase for DEB, and immediately loved the vibes! We hadn't met or seen every member of the band in person before the wedding, so we weren’t sure what to completely expect day-of, but they kicked things off with Talking Heads (a nod to the jam bands we'd mentioned on our preference sheet) and it was perfect from there. They played almost every song we requested and kept everyone dancing the entire night, which honestly felt effortless on their part! What really stood out was how flexible and fun they were, rolling with our ideas while still bringing their own energy to the celebration. Our guests are still talking about the band days later!”

Good Times DJ Service

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

Hello, my name is Allen. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about the past, present, and future of my passion for music. My first DJ event was in 2010 when a couple of my friends wanted to have a New Year’s Eve party. The opportunity of using a friend’s professional DJ equipment came about. The rest is history – I haven’t stopped since! I am constantly learning more and more each day and having fun while doing it. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when I purchase a new piece of DJ equipment or get butterflies when someone books an event. I love playing music! Especially playing music people like.

“From our first conversation, Good Times DJ Service made it clear they understood what we wanted for our reception. The DJ showed up organized, stuck to our timeline, and kept the energy high all night long. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly when to play our favorite songs while letting us have control over the playlist. What really stood out was how friendly and professional he was throughout the whole process—he genuinely cared about making our reception fun for everyone. The communication leading up to the wedding was thorough and helpful, which gave us peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, and we'd highly recommend Good Times DJ Service to any couple looking to keep their guests dancing.”

“Review for CCMG (Day-of Coordinator: Bryanne, DJ/Officiant: Ontoneyo) Our overall experience with CCMG was very positive, and I truly appreciated the dedication and effort that went into making our wedding day special. Bryánne, our day-of coordinator, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, from start to finish. Her attentiveness and organization helped make the day feel seamless, and her thoughtful gesture of bringing a gift for our ceremony was incredibly kind and memorable. I felt completely supported by her presence throughout the day, and she handled every detail with care and professionalism. Ontoneyo, who served as both our DJ and officiant, brought great energy and worked hard to help set up for our reception. The ceremony itself went a bit differently than we had planned — I had written a promise for the officiant to read to our guests, but instead, my husband and I were asked to read it ourselves, which was challenging since my husband has dyslexia. This created some unexpected stress in the moment. Additionally, there were a few hiccups with music timing (our reception entrance song, for example), and the song selection during the reception wasn’t quite what we had envisioned. We were hoping for a mix that appealed to all generations, but a few choices felt out of place for our crowd. There were also a few personal announcements made over the mic that I felt took away from the professionalism of the evening. That said, both Bryánne and Ontoneyo were incredibly helpful in setting up and ensuring things ran as planned. I was especially impressed that they arrived earlier than our contract stated, which showed genuine commitment to making sure everything was ready on time. Overall, I’m grateful to CCMG for their hard work, positive attitude, and dedication to making our day special. I would definitely recommend them for day-of coordination services, as that part of our experience was exceptional. With a few refinements to music curation and communication during the event, CCMG could truly deliver a five-star experience.”

Planning a wedding is exciting, but let's face it, between the decisions, details, and about 10,000 moving pieces, it can get overwhelming. I believe the people you choose for your wedding should make things easier, not more complicated. As the owner and DJ behind Cocktails With a Twizt, it's about more than playing music, mixing drinks, or keeping things on schedule. It's about getting to know you, understanding what you envision, and helping bring it together. Some of my favorite parts of this business happen long before the wedding: hearing your ideas, tossing around possibilities, finding the perfect song for a meaningful moment, or creating a signature cocktail that's completely your own.
