“DJ Daniel Mobile Music was the perfect choice for our 2025 Yosemite National Park destination wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fantastic - they were responsive, flexible, and really took the time to understand our vision for the day and traveled hours from home to provide music for our big day!!

Good Times DJ Service

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.

“We had a great experience working with Good Times DJ Service for our wedding. He was very communicative throughout the planning process, responding promptly to our questions over text, email, and phone calls. He took the time to understand our musical tastes and style, and it showed in his song selections at our reception. The dance floor was packed all night! He was professional, arrived on time, and kept everything organized. During the reception, he paid close attention to the crowd vibe and adjusted the music when needed to keep the party going strong. We would highly recommend Good Times DJ Service to other couples planning their weddings - he helped make our special day a huge success!”

“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.”

“They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!”
