Raymond (Ray) was great! Very nice, on time and he definitely felt the vibe of the room and played music based on our guests. A lot of our guests were older (millennial and baby boomers). He played songs on our list and accepted request so that everyone could dance to music they like! Which was great! We received nothing but great compliments other than older people took Tylenol the next day as their knees were hurting from dancing so much! Lol

DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Santa Monica, 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.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dominiq since 2009, and he has consistently been the key to elevating every event. His DJ skills are exceptional, with a diverse music repertoire that can energize any crowd—even those who seem reluctant to dance. Yet Dominiq’s value extends far beyond the music. He is a natural problem-solver, always proactive when it comes to event flow. If anything runs off schedule or unexpected issues arise, he steps in with solutions and keeps everything seamless. Dominiq’s MCing is charismatic and engaging, effortlessly connecting with diverse audiences—different ages, backgrounds, and preferences. No matter the setting—indoor or outdoor—his setups are flawless. From lighting to photo booths, he brings a polished experience. His communication is always clear, prompt, and professional. Every time I plan an event, securing Dominiq is my first step, because he brings it to the next level—every single time. Here’s a photo of Dom and I from 2014 when he DJ’d at Club Sutra in Orange County CA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a fantastic experience with Second Song and our DJ Jeff Collins for our September 14th wedding. Everyone on the Second Song team (and Rob in particular) was very responsive and communicative. The virtual meeting with DJ Jeff went smoothly, and the shared Google Doc that Second Song provided to track the event details was intuitive and easy to use. Rob and his team helped us make custom cuts of our ceremony music at no additional cost. We also booked our uplights through their team, and they were beautiful. Not only could you select the color, but the lights could also be programmed to cycle through colors for more of a party vibe. I could not recommend DJ Jeff Collins more highly. He was professional and on time, and most importantly, had incredible energy. He hit all of our requests for the evening, both for the dinner portion of the night and the dance party afterwards. He worked seamlessly with our planner and made all of the right announcements at the right time, and a large part of the evening's success was due to his energy and enthusiasm. Thank you Second Song for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! If you are on the market for a wedding DJ (or a DJ for any large event), look no further!

I am so happy to write a review for Seth and his team! From the very beginning, Seth has been a pleasure to work with. The first meeting I was very impressed by how he had researched the wedding venue and its layout so that he could ask us what our thoughts were on setup/DJ location placement etc. Our second meeting was then focused on how to set up the wedding playlist using the Vibo app. The app is fantastic, and an excellent way to keep track of the songs you wish to have played at certain time points (bridal processional, grand entrance, pre-ceremony, etc.). In the app you can request starting timepoints and leave extra notes for Seth to look over weeks before the wedding. Aside from these aspects, Seth went above and beyond to help us with other non-music related aspects of the wedding such as our wedding slideshow (that he helped give us step by step instructions so that the quality of the slideshow would be good for when it was projected on the wall of venue). He also created a mashup for my husband to dance with his mom ("Dance with me" mixed with "Just Dance"; it was amazing!). Even during the week of the wedding, when I had a mini-freak out, he was so kind and understanding. In the end, I 100% recommend Seth (and Matt too! He was at the Photo Booth, and he was so kind and was ready to help folks if any technical help was needed)! Seth's team is professional, kind, and has great attention to detail; if you can, book DJ Seth and his team for your wedding!

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

1000/10!! Lucky Devils gave us absolutely the best wedding experience possible. All communication and planning calls were extremely professional, prompt, and easy. We had a prescriptive plan on our music taste and preferences, which Lucky Devils was happy to accommodate, but they also gave guidance based on their expertise, which we so appreciated. We put playlists together because we wanted certain songs playing, but by the time the band came on (we just gave them general guidance beforehand, nothing too prescriptive), their set list was exactly what we were looking for and they completely set the vibe and energy of the party with little direction. We hired them for our ceremony music, which they were able to do with the live guitarist as well as use a speaker for walk down the aisle songs. Everything went seamlessly and exactly how we imagined, but somehow even better. Working with Lucky Devils was an amazing experience from end. They were also very positive and lively on-site, which made us and the guests have so much fun. We have a family band and Lucky Devils even let them play a live song, which will always be one of our favorite memories from our wedding day. Lucky Devils is a one stop shop and can help you with anything, as they have such range- you can hire for your ceremony AND reception (even if in different locations) as an emcee, DJ, live band, etc. and that's exactly what we needed. They have tons of clients at one time but somehow made us feel so special and like we were their only client. Music is so important to us, and honestly I have been putting together a playlist for years, so we were looking for the best group possible to host the experience we were looking for. Lucky Devils was exactly it and it was so amazing to see this music come to life. They brought so much energy, fun, and connection to our guests, we still talk about it! We were honestly so blown away at how amazing the music was throughout the night. Would 100% recommend and do all over again if we had the choice. You will not regret hiring them and it's one of the best wedding decisions we made!!

VENUES WITH PIANOS ONLY - HAPPY TO HELP RENT A BABY GRAND BUT CAN'T TRAVEL WITH MY OWN :) Juilliard-trained pianist Paulina Simkin has performed at Carnegie Hall and toured across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. A Fulbright Fellow and Young Steinway Artist, she plays regularly at top wedding venues such as Carondelet House, The Ebell Club, The Biltmore, The Plaza, The Ranch at Laguna Beach, and just became the new pianist at the Chateau Marmont. Whether you envision ceremony music that is uniquely you two, a sophisticated cocktail-hour ambiance, or a modern, cinematic mood, Paulina curates each performance to match your style and love story.

We hired Paulina to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She did a beautiful job - exactly what we wanted! She sent us her repertoire even before booking, which was extensive and spanned classical, jazz, pop, and more, with plenty of songs we liked. There was also an option to request non-repertoire songs for a small fee. Of particular note, we were deciding between two different songs for our processional (including one off-repertoire), and Paulina sent us samples (for free!) so we could hear the arrangements and directly compare them before making our final decision. Ultimately, we were delighted by Paulina's performance and would 100% recommend her for an event/wedding. Thank you Paulina!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have asked for a better harpist than Liska Yamada for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was professional and responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way in a manner that truly put our minds at ease. What impressed us most was her willingness to learn a brand new song specifically for our ceremony and execute it flawlessly on the day of. Her playing was nothing short of stunning, and the way she coordinated with us showed her dedication to making everything run smoothly. Liska brought such grace and elegance to our celebration, and honestly, it could not have been any better. If we could rate Liska 10000000000 stars, we certainly would! We highly recommend her to any couple in a heartbeat!!
