OC Party DJ 
Rating: 4.8 (13 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves South Pasadena, 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!

Eric was friendly, professional and an absolute delight! We were so happy with him and so many guests commented on how amazing our DJ was. Also, when I was dancing and caught his expression his smile was so big, laughing with me about my goofy moves. There is not one thing he could have done better. My brother in law said that was by far the best dance party ever! Thank you for making our Wedding and Reception all we could have dreamed of!

Funk Almighty was hands down the highlight of our wedding! They brought the perfect vibe to our day. Everyone in the band is super talented and so kind - it was a pleasure working with them. Daryl was awesome and had great communication with us the entire process. All of the logistics were handled seamlessly - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, to after hours DJ. We appreciated that they traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding! It was truly a treat for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how awesome our music was! We were lucky to see Funk Almighty live at Joe's on Weed before our wedding but had them booked for our wedding well before that. We can't wait to see them live again! Thank you Funk Almighty!!!

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 had Second Song and specifically DJ Mac DJ our wedding. We had SUCH a blast at our wedding and heard after the fact from many people what a blast they had and how they couldn't ever leave the dance floor when constant hits were playing. Mac was so easy to work with and personable, and his charisma shined on our wedding day without ever taking away from anything. He was great at keeping up the energy. As the bride, I danced practically the entire time. He also did an excellent job with the sound set up for our ceremony. We also really liked working with Second Song in general - they made selecting a DJ easy and their music planner was super helpful. I'd highly recommend Mac and Second Song!

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.

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

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 an incredibly important piece of our wedding weekend, and weeks after the event we still have guests reaching out about how blown away they were by the band. They are an incredibly talented group of musicians, playing everything from Rush to Robyn and Steely Dan to Sir Mix-A-Lot. They were unbelievably good at working with and understanding the 'vibes' of my wife and I, curating an exceptional setlist that had something for every age and musical interest. Highlights for us included walking down the aisle to an acoustic version of "Champagne Supernova", and dancing at the reception to "Tom Sawyer", 'Bring Me To Life", "The Impression That I Get", and "Dancing on My Own", but they have a list of over 1,000 songs and can really do any sort of music you're looking for. They're professional, friendly, and talented, and my only regret is that we can't get married again to hear them play one more time. As one guest said to me at the wedding, "I've never seen literally every single person on the dance floor at a wedding before, but they had everyone partying for three hours straight".

Working with Sam, Marco, and Julian was so seamless and easy. We really wanted to avoid a DJ that played tired 'wedding' music and actually created a fun night of dancing with our millennial Brooklyn crowd. We vibed with Sam immediately on intake meeting, who even 'scouted' our venue to confirm the existing audio setup worked (helping us save some on rentals). Coordinating with Marco and working with DJ Julian on the day-of was a breeze and delivered exactly the energy we had hoped for. Couldn't recommend enough!

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
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.

Even the groom, who is not a big dancer (yet!), was super impressed with Joe's work - which is saying a lot. Tempoe provided great value and quality service that contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. Joe also helped a lot with getting us to think through some of wedding details. His input helped us be more sure as we finalized. If we have another party of any kind, we will hire Tempoe! Just so great overall!

His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

We found Tiger on Zola really early on in our wedding planning process and knew we had to reach out. We really wanted a DJ that felt different, less cheesy, that could help us create a vibe of a house party with all our friends versus a wedding ballroom. Luckily for us, he had plenty of experience with our venue and we quickly realized Tiger would be one of our vendors we didn’t have to worry about. He played vinyl during our cocktail hour, helped create the most seamless ceremony, added personal touches as our MC, and gave us the greatest dance floor we could have asked for. Super easy to work with, and most importantly we knew we could trust him with our night. If you’re thinking about booking Tiger, just do it, don’t look anywhere else. I said “this is the best night of my life” to anyone who would listen about 15 times during our reception

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life.

You know that one place that everybody fears: standing in a spotlight in front of a group of people, holding a microphone in their sweaty palm while looking into the face of an awaiting audience?

David was the best DJ (and officiant) we could've asked for. Choosing a DJ can be very daunting and stressful since you don't really get to listen to their mixtape or anything beforehand. You can watch a few clips here and there on their social medias, but you really are just booking a DJ on a hope and a prayer. David did a GREAT job. He really knows how to read the crowd. He was very communicative, professional, and affordable. He takes into consideration your "must play" and "must not play" songs, while also getting a feel for what the crowd wants. He kept everyone on the dance floor and was able to hype up the crowd. A great choice for a DJ!

On the day of, Josh did such a fabulous job DJing and MCing - the dance floor was poppin' all night long! He hit all the cues with the music we asked for and adjusted seamlessly to any requests I had. Surreal Soirees provided fabulous service for all aspects of the music for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ - thank you so much!

Juilliard-Pianist Paulina Simkin

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

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.

Paulina is a wonderful pianist who is artistically brilliant and passionate about her craft. She elevates any event she performs at with a mix of her signature charm and sophistication. I own Faye Fern Creative, a wedding design and planning house. Most of our clients enjoy having an element of live music at their events. They also expect a high touch experience in the lead up to their special day. I always feel confident recommending Paulina to our couples, knowing that she will deliver a refined performance and easy planning process. What truly sets Paulina apart from many other classical musicians in the industry is her warm personality and genuine talent at engaging with couples and their guests. Her repertoire includes a great mix of classical, jazz, pop, show tunes, and more. She tailors each set list to the clients' tastes and the mood of the event. Additionally, she offers custom song request add-ons. I highly recommend Paulina if you're looking for a memorable event pianist who is thoughtful, a breeze to work with, and genuinely invested in crafting a meaningful atmosphere through music.

You can't go wrong with DJ Tyler -- he's simply the best. My husband and I are high school sweethearts who love 2010s pop and Tyler knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. He was also so attentive pre-wedding to understand our vision for the event flow, and nailed every cue, from our ceremony music to announcing a surprise ping pong match. Trust me, you can count on Tyler :)

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!
