OC Party DJ 
Rating: 4.8 (13 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

WE .MAKE .PEOPLE .DANCE. We specialize in high-energy DJ performances, packing your dance floors, and high quality photo booths for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. With over 15 years of experience, DJ Nighthawk delivers custom music mixes, from classic hits to the latest tracks, tailored to your event's vibe. We don't just play the hits—we professionally MC, engage your guests, and create an unforgettable experience from start to finish." We also offer fun photo booth rentals, complete with props, instant and unlimited prints all in one affordable package!

We hired Trevor DJ Nighthawk/OC Party DJ for our Indian wedding (over two days), and they absolutely exceeded all expectations! The communication and client experience with this business was top notch. Trevor DJ Nighthawk responded to all our emails, texts, and phone call requests in a timely and professional manner and respected all our requests for the events. He arrived well in advance of the start time to ensure he was fully set up and ready to roll on schedule. From the sangeet to the baraat and the reception, he seamlessly blended traditional Indian music with modern hits, keeping every element lively and authentic. The baraat was truly memorable with high-energy beats that got everyone dancing, while the sangeet featured a perfect mix of Bollywood classics and crowd favorites. During the reception, his lighting absolutely accomplished the "cool" vibe we had requested, and the dance floor stayed packed all night; he kept all generations entertained. Trevor DJ Nighthawk also respected the cultural significance of our ceremonies and his emceeing helped the events flow effortlessly. We used him for DJ/emcee service and Photo Booth. He offers a package deal for that. A really neat thing about the Photo Booth is that he customizes the background of the photo prints to match the colors/theme/invite, so they are such a nice keepsake for your guests to take home. He has a 360 Video Booth, too, if you're interested. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our wedding is definitely one that guests keep talking about, and I know several people picked up his card. Thank you, DJ Nighthawk!

This was an annual dinner meeting for Assistance League Santa Clarita, a nonprofit. Having Crystal Note DJ, Edgardo, there took this event over the top. We had women in their 80's and one aged 90, on the dance floor and having a good time. This was, without a doubt, the best December dinner meeting thanks to Edgardo.

We know how pivotal it is to be included in such a significant moment in your journey, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure the music you’ve chosen for your day is everything you imagined, and more.

The Duo Soli was the perfect choice for our small wedding. We had the pleasure of booking with Lisa and Sojourner for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner service and they completely made our day. When we arrived at the ceremony space we could hear Lisa singing La Vie en Rose in French as we took our last photos before walking down the aisle and it set the perfect romantic tone for the entire day. As the ceremony began, Sojourner began to play Canon in D, our requested ceremony march, and everything was perfect. They even learned our favorite Coldplay song as we left the ceremony space. For our cocktail hour, they played several of our favorite songs that we had requested and it felt like a trip down memory lane with my family. During dinner, they created spotify playlists specifically for our music taste and added in 15 minute live performances throughout dinner that made the whole evening feel so personalized. We were also able to use their wireless microphone for speeches so everyone could be heard. They really made our entire evening so special, and the entire planning process so easy. They always respond quickly to any questions and I so appreciated their attention to every request we made. Thank you so much, The Duo Soli!! We will see you at my daughter's wedding!!

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

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.

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 1,000+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Moon Units were the best part of our dreamy desert wedding! If it wasn’t an open, outdoor wedding they would’ve torn off the roof (while respecting local sound ordinances, of course.) They have such a deep catalog of hits and did a great job balancing the set list between bangers that appealed to guests who came to dance and those who were a little bit shy. They kept the energy level over the top from cocktail hour through a windy night that would have sent many vendors packing up. The wind knocked the venue power out halfway through the set, and they didn’t miss a beat while the venue got generators online for their electric amps. They kept the party going into the night, and looked like they were having as much fun as we were, despite falling amps and heat lamps! The guests were raving about them: - ‘I felt like I was back in high school, dancing with reckless abandon!’ - ‘ I have never seen my parents dance, but they didn’t leave the dance floor’ They couldn’t have been nicer to work with, and we are thankful for their part in our perfect day!

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.

Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

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!!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had. I am so jealous that you, the prospective client, have the opportunity to book Paige & Holly for a future event. I truly can't hype them up enough.
