“We knew pretty much from the moment we got engaged that I wanted Ashley Good from Fog City Entertainment to DJ our wedding. We had worked together multiple times before, so we already knew how incredible she was professionally. But having her there for our own wedding somehow made us appreciate her even more. Ashley was organized, prepared, professional, and completely on top of everything. The way she lays out the music, keeps track of requests, and makes sure the songs that matter to you actually get played gave us so much confidence going into the day. She also handled special announcements and little last-minute things without ever making anything feel complicated. And then there’s her personality. Ashley has this energy that is just contagious. She is warm, positive, fun, and genuinely cares about the people she is working with. When you hire her, you aren’t just getting someone to play music. You’re getting someone who really cares about your wedding, your guests, and making sure everyone has an amazing time. Our dance floor was alive, everything stayed on time, and she was incredibly interactive without ever making it feel forced. She read the room so well and helped create exactly the kind of atmosphere we hoped for. As someone who works in the wedding industry, we get to see a lot of DJs, and Ashley is truly one of the best. She made us feel so taken care of from beginning to end. Five stars honestly doesn’t feel like enough. If you are looking for a DJ, hire Ashley. We cannot recommend Ashley Good and Fog City Entertainment highly enough. She’s also one of those vendors who somehow makes us want to get married all over again just so we can hire her again.”

Our DJ was Ace, Sax Player Austin and singer Natalie. I booked 11 months in advance, had a phone meet and greet 6 weeks out and had several revisions to the itinerary as we got closer to the event.

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 did an amazing job at our wedding! From the beginning he was kind, friendly and professional. He was extremely helpful when choosing music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner, provided suggestions and he listened to our wants. He MC’d in both English and Spanish, which helped make everyone feel included. He was able to read the dance floor and play music, transitioning between American music and Mexican music. We highly highly recommend him!!”

“Working with Joey was an unbelievable pleasure. My now husband and I were quite nervous about hiring a DJ (naturally given it was our first time!), but the second I found and spoke to Joey over the phone in an introductory call, I knew we were in good hands. His warmth, charisma and incredible professional experience was apparent, even during those first few minutes. Joey is an unbelievably talented performer (he played live cello at our ceremony) and a well seasoned DJ. What we didn’t know when we first hired him, was just how much help Joey would be in helping us schedule and orchestrate the flow of our full wedding. We had multiple calls and meetings, well before the wedding day, where Joey kept us informed and confident all throughout. He helped us coordinate the music not only to the most important parts of the wedding, but also to all in the in-betweens, making sure that good vibes were always flowing throughout the whole thing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to make it all happen. Joey is also someone who is incredibly organized and pays great attention to detail and timing. He kept things moving (even though that was outside the scope of his work) and made sure everything was on schedule. Even when we ended up going overtime (not to the fault of Joey but family getting too carried away with speeches!), Joey quickly and expertly adjusted his set and made the final dance party something we will never forget. I truly mean this when I say don’t look any further. Don’t hesitate in hiring Joey—if we had to do it all over again, we would pick Cello Joe, every single time. —and to Joey: thank you so much for everything. You truly made our wedding a day we will never forget.”
