DJ Mark was the DJ for my daughter’s Halloween Themed wedding. Mark was amazing! He was everything we could have hoped for. The communication prior to the wedding was timely, efficient, and professional. He listened to all our requests and gathered all the info needed to make sure the day ran smoothly. We thought the planning app was a perfect touch for everyone. DJ Mark handled the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and special dances perfectly. He had great energy and kept the dance floor going strong all night long! DJ Mark was the best!!! Highly recommend him and his Team!

The band, comprised of 6 talented musicians, draws from several decades of exhilarating American dance music to deliver a fun and engaging performance with a dynamic, soulful delivery.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired the Cosmo Alleycats for our wedding and it was by far one of the best choices we made. Working with Emily and the Cosmo Alleycats is a dream. First up, they are obviously very musically talented - their style is fun for everyone of all ages and they are open to working with you for your preferences. They went above and beyond by making a special arrangement of our first dance song. We wanted to practice dancing to their rendition before the big day, so Emily shared a recording of it with us which was extremely helpful. Emily is a true professional, helping us organize all of the details and logistics in addition to emceeing for the evening and bringing her gorgeous singing voice, and each member of the band brings their own talents and flair. I cannot recommend them enough. Live music at a wedding is a top-notch experience for you and your guests and you won’t regret hiring the Cosmo Alleycats for your special day.

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to choose Joey (Cello Joe) and Brandon to help make our special day sparkle. Their attention to detail, guided by years of experience, allowed us to have the wedding we envisioned while avoiding many of the common pitfalls we might have encountered without them. They had creative ideas, were responsive to all of our questions, and brough an awesome presence on our wedding day. We highly recommend choosing The Celebration DJ Group for your wedding!

Not only is Precise Blend (James) one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of working with, he is also very creative, responsive, professional and flexible when making your event come to life through music. He took time to really get to know us and it was important to him that we were happy and not stressed for our big day. He DJ'd our Sonoma Valley wedding and it was such a magical evening. His photo booth, music and lights really brought the venue to life and guests had a great time dancing. I love that his equipment is sleek, not bulky and doesn't stand out in photos. The app he works through is user friendly and I love that we were able to invite different collaborators to add songs to the dancing playlist. His team truly did a quality job on making the night memorable and I'm so glad we chose them as our music vendor! There is not enough good things I can write about Precise Blend and James. We had a few zoom meetings set up for DJ's and he was our first zoom call. We knew from the moment we talked to him that he was perfect for us and our wedding. We booked him last minute (probably 2 months in advance) and he was so accommodating. If we needed anything, he was a quick text away. He has a wonderful app to pick all your music and organize it from the processional, to the cocktail hour music, etc. I sent him a few songs that I wanted to surprise my now husband with to walk down the aisle and he put them together for me and made it perfect for us. Another great aspect was that our photographers Photo Booth broke from another wedding so we reached out to James and he made sure that we had a Photo Booth. It was amazing and the pictures from our family and friends are so fun! James has a wonderful team and made our night amazing and fun! We consider him family now. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you forever James. We cant thank you enough! You are truly one of a kind and made our wedding amazing and so much fun! Sincerely, The Farleys

🎶 AMS Entertainment: Bringing epic parties and amazing energy to Wine Country weddings since 1996! 🍷We’re not just DJs—we’re music enthusiasts with a knack for turning your big day into a personalized, unforgettable experience.

We booked AMS Entertainment for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Alex was responsive throughout the planning process and really listened to what we wanted. We gave him a few ideas about the vibe for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and he nailed it. During cocktail hour, my husband and I actually found ourselves walking around singing along to the songs he picked because they were exactly what we had in mind. What stood out to us was how much Alex advocates for his couples and pushes to play what you actually want to hear, not just what he thinks works. He's knowledgeable about music and how to read a crowd, but never lost sight of our preferences. We'd recommend AMS Entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ who will truly partner with you to make your reception feel personal and fun.

Your wedding deserves more than beautiful music—it deserves a soundtrack that captures the emotion of every unforgettable moment. As a professional cellist, guitarist, and singer, I specialize in creating elegant, deeply personal musical experiences that elevate your celebration from the first guest’s arrival to your final dance. With years of professional performance experience spanning classical, contemporary, folk, jazz, pop, and original music, I bring the artistry, versatility, and attention to detail expected at world-class events.

Christian Dupree Music made our wedding reception unforgettable in ways we never expected. From our first conversation, Christian was responsive and organized, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. He beatboxed while I rapped in a battle against my wife, then switched gears to play guitar for her diss song back at me. Christian has this incredible gift where he can hear a song and play it back immediately with multiple instruments because he just knows the notes, and he can freestyle rap on top of it all. He turned the dance floor into something interactive and hilarious that our guests still talk about. We can't recommend Christian Dupree Music enough for couples who want a musician that goes way beyond the typical playlist.

Highly recommend! Second Song were so easy to work with from start to finish. I loved their process of choosing a DJ - it meant we found the perfect match for our wedding. Their communication was excellent. When booking, we thought we needed some extra lighting but Second Song had a look at our venue and confirmed we wouldn’t need it - I really appreciated their honesty!! Our DJ Joey Moon was incredible! I have never experienced a DJ like him. Joey has the best energy and really knows how to read the room. Myself and my husband have slightly different music tastes and Joey blended the genres perfectly. Joey made us feel confident before the wedding as he answered all our questions and checked in with us on the lead up. All of our guests commented on how amazing Joey was. Thank you!

Ashley and Sampson were a great team for DJing our wedding! We had a very DIY venue that was a pretty blank slate, but the lighting and ambiance created by Sampson as our DJ really allowed people to dance (which we were pretty anxious about as non-dancers ourselves!). All the organization of the night went really smoothly too, things were announced exactly as we were hoping, tables got served food in great time, and we got to do our dances, cake cutting etc at a good pace. And I appreciated when our DJ double-checked with my husband on how long we wanted our first dance song as that was the part of the night we were most nervous about! I also appreciated the communication and planning ahead of time, and ability to send over tracks we'd like played or avoided in an easy to use website. We truly had all the songs we loved played, and all of the additions made were super fun and worked really well. My friends really enjoyed the night, and there was some good dancing for the older family members too. We had a lot of fun at our wedding in large part to Sampson's expertise!!! And Ashley was so lovely to work with in coordinating and scheduling, and was so professional with our coordinator when we had timeline changes. Thank you!!!

Golden Bell Music was worth EVERY penny AND MORE! It's been 6 months since my wedding and I'm STILL getting comments on how much fun all our guests had! Even my mother-in-law who doesn't dance did NOT sit down! I'm Lebanese and my husband is Israeli, so I had asked for help mixing songs to combine our cultures and then move into more western music. I'm still getting sooooo many compliments from our families on how we were able to combine our traditions and our music! And our guests LOST IT when they came out on the dance floor with their instruments and danced with us! I did this in lieu of a zaffet group because i wanted something more unique -- in lebanon a drumline would follow the bride and groom and dance/perform for guests -- and it was definitely the right choice!!! On top of their amazing performance, Marlon was **insanely helpful** both leading up to the day and on the day. I didn't have a wedding planner and was making last minute decisions/timeline changes myself the day of. I couldn't have done it so smoothly without Marlon being so helpful as an MC and being so willing to roll with it! He was absolutely fantastic!! Cut your budget wherever you can to make sure you can hire them. It's SO worth it! Thank you Golden Bell Music for making it the best day of summer (so i've been told. multiple times. by different guests.)!! I don't know for what occasion, but I'm 100% going to find a reason to hire them again.

Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services!

Jonny Botello with Pantera Event Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. His easy-going and fun personality shined through in our initial consultations and on the big day. He was punctual, professional, and kept the energy high from cocktail hour through the last song. He expertly read the vibe of our guests and played songs that kept everyone on the dance floor, of ALL ages, having an amazing time. He made every second of the night count and stuck to our timeline, and had a great flow. His talent and passion for DJing contributed so much to the success of our wedding celebration. I would give Jonny and Pantera Event Productions my highest recommendation for any couple looking for outstanding, top-notch musical entertainment that is worth every penny on your special day. I included some screenshots from his Instagram story (I love that he videos bits and pieces throughout the day). So fun!

My husband and I got married this past August and I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while but we had a big move and time got away from us. As a wedding vendor myself I know how important it is to have a DJ that can balance fun and professionalism, but Joey Chang did just that. He was punctual, detail oriented, and our guest couldn’t stop talking about how good he was, both as a musician and as a DJ. I really appreciated the time and effort he took to insure that no details were missed. We booked a lighting package as well and our ceremony space looked even better than I could have imagined. Joey made sure the ceremony audio was perfect. Everyone could hear the whole ceremony which was really important to us. And when he played cello for our processional and recessional, the sound really filled the space and sounded beautiful. During our cocktail hour he played cello and did some beatboxing, we were so impressed and our guests loved it as well, they were talking about how good he was and how they could hardly believe it was live music. After dinner the dance floor was full the whole night. Even months later we still have people telling us how much fun they had dancing, how great our playlist was, and how much they liked our DJ. If you want your wedding to be classy, romantic, a total rager, and go off without a hitch, I would highly recommend hiring Cello Joe!
