    What an evening!

    We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and entertainment team for our wedding! From the very start, the process was seamless. The communication was top-notch; he was always quick to respond, attentive to our requests, and he made sure every detail was covered. My wife and I had the best big day at a stunning private estate in Beverly Hills. It was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was due to the incredible talent and musical atmosphere created by Dominic. The formalities flowed effortlessly, and when it was time to dance, the energy in the room was electrifying. Dominic had everyone on their feet, from our grandparents to our youngest cousins! The music was perfectly mixed and catered to all tastes. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We lost count of how many guests told us that the DJ absolutely made the wedding. Thank you for making our day so special. We highly recommend DJ Carpe DM and his team to anyone looking to create an unforgettable wedding!

    Best DJ there is!

    Dominic is hands down the best DJ there is! I found him at a corporate event 10 years ago and hired him for my wedding, since then multiple of my friends have hired him for their weddings and he is phenomenal. He is the DJ of choice at all the industry events I attend. He is professional, fun, and truly cares about the work that he is doing to ensure your event goes successfully! I can not recommend him highly enough!

Yes, I am fully covered up to $1 million. I can provide the certificate of insurance (COI) to the appropriate parties for your event.
Depending on each event and what is needed. Events or Receptions: 1-2 hours before start time or guest arrival. Full-service wedding: 2-3 hours before the ceremony guest arrival.
I specialize in a wide range of genres, including Top 40, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, Indie, Dance, Electronic, House, World, and Latin. My extensive music knowledge allows me to adapt to any event, and I am always open to learning new music to suit your needs. Having performed in diverse clubs worldwide, I bring a versatile and global perspective to every event. I carefully customize the music selection based on the event and client preferences.
Dance Floor: Color washes, effects, spotlights, backlighting, and moving heads -Uplight: Ambiance and dramatic texture enhancements for rooms, walls, and spaces - Pinspot: Focused spotlighting for decorations - Monogram: Custom images, texts, or logos on walls, floors, and ceilings - Cold Sparks: a special effect that creates the look of fireworks without the dangers of traditional pyrotechnics - Club CO₂ Cannon: a device that shoots out high-pressure carbon dioxide gas to create visual effects like smoke plumes and fog to enhance the party atmosphere.
DJ - MC - Live Streaming - Playlist Curation - Music Programming - DJ + Live: DJ & Live Musician blend - Video DJ: Music videos playing while DJing - Silent Disco: A party where people dance to music played through wireless headphones instead of loudspeakers to not disrupt neighbors or venue space with loud music.
Whether it's music selection, special event requirements, or unique setups, I work collaboratively to make your vision a reality. I pride myself on being highly adaptable when it comes to music selection for each event. Some clients prefer to curate the entire playlist themselves, while others entrust me to select the perfect music to suit the vibe and energy of their event.
Weddings - Corporate events - Private parties - Dayclubs and Nightclubs - Bars and Restaurants - Television and movie studio/production companies - Music Festivals - City and street fairs - Milestones and more... In my 20 year career, I have experienced many different types of parties and celebrations and can perform for most occasions. If you need music or emcee services, I got you covered.
Pricing varies depending on the type of event, duration, location, and equipment needed. Sound, lighting, visuals, and party enhancements are all different for each event and the size of the location or venue.
Yes and No. Every event calls for different styles of music and moods. I have plenty of clean and radio-edited music directly from radio stations and music subscription services. On the flipside, we are also adults and every crowd is different. I always ask my clients when at an event. You know your audience and if you want to party, sing, or dance explicitly, then you should always be yourself and I will play to you. Obviously, reading the room and crowd comes first.
I always have an extra computer, hard drives, cables, batteries, and microphones directly on hand. When it comes to hardware—speakers, controllers, lighting, and more—I have trusted vendors and reliable connections to call on if anything unexpected happens. My equipment is top-quality, meets industry standards, and is less than five years old, ensuring optimal performance for your event. This is RARE but in case of an emergency, I have a network of DJ colleagues I can call upon who are of equal talent that I trust to step in. I also ensure everything runs smoothly by setting up and conducting a thorough sound check before guests arrive.
Because they don’t want another vendor — they want someone who loves and knows music, directs the flow, keeps guests engaged across ages, plays music that is classic and contemporary with flair, and eliminates stress with solid experience.
A celebration that feels effortless, sounds amazing, and stays energetic from first entrance to last dance.
