This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision. I believe a good DJ is one who is intuitive and can read an audience, and a good photographer is one who can capture moments without you being aware. Thank you Michael, Aubrey, and Xavier for making my moment memorable for me and my guests. I highly recommend A Better DJ & Photographer!

Diamond Empire Band 
Rating: 4.6 (15 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,990
  • 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!

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 fantastic experience working with Allen from Good Times DJ Service. His communication throughout the planning process was friendly, easy, and clear - he made the music selection process smooth by providing us with helpful forms to share our vision. On our wedding day, Allen brought so much fun energy and kept everyone dancing with his personalized song choices tailored just for us. He handled all announcements and coordinating with the other vendors professionally. Overall, Allen's services were a great value - he helped make our wedding reception personalized and special with his musical talents. We'd highly recommend Good Times DJ Service for your important event!

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.

From the first inquiry, Jason responded almost immediately and was very thorough and informative in his communication. We set up a phone call about a week later and we just knew it was going to be the right fit! The show was amazing and the entertainers really wowed the crowd.
