Amazing DJ and Seamless Wedding Day
Josh was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and we truly cannot recommend him enough. We originally found him through Zola, and he responded quickly to our inquiry. Within just a few days, we had a Zoom/Teams meeting set up where he walked us through a full presentation covering his services, options, add-ons, and how he approaches weddings. From that first meeting, it was clear he was organized, experienced, and genuinely invested in helping us create the kind of day we wanted. After signing the contract, we were given access to his planning portal, which made the whole process so easy. The portal included forms for the ceremony, key people and contact information, song lists for every part of the day, and even questions about us as a couple so that when Josh spoke during the reception, he had real talking points and could make everything feel personal. Our wedding had two venues: Pasadena City Hall for the ceremony and my aunt and uncle’s backyard in South Pasadena for the reception. Pasadena City Hall was an epic pain in the butt logistically, but also so, so amazing — and Josh handled all of it beautifully. He worked around city restrictions and requirements, answered our many questions, and helped us think through the details of having two separate setups. Closer to the wedding, we had another Zoom/Teams meeting where we really hashed out the timeline for the day and how everything would flow. Because Josh had to manage two setups, it was something we needed to plan carefully, and he made the whole process feel calm and manageable. The day itself ran so smoothly because of that preparation. On the wedding day, Josh went above and beyond. He did his reception setup at the house before heading to City Hall, including uplighting, which I honestly did not fully understand until I saw it in person. It ended up being absolutely perfect with the backyard setup we had created — a bougie lounge vibe with blacks, silvers, and candlelight. At the ceremony, he had a clean, easily transportable setup that worked perfectly for the space. One of the extra things we loved was that Josh took photos throughout the day — at the ceremony, around the site, and during the reception. We had no idea he was doing this, and it was such a fun surprise. Since we knew we would only get a small handful of sneak peeks from our photographer while waiting for the full gallery, having those extra photos from Josh was incredibly special. Most importantly, Josh created an amazing party. When we gave him music ideas, we approached it as “these are the songs we would dance to, and these are the songs our friends said would get them on the dance floor.” He took that and turned it into such a fun, seamless dance party. The music felt like us, the flow of the night felt effortless, and our guests had the best time. Josh made the entire process easy, organized, personal, and stress-free. He was professional, thoughtful, flexible, and just genuinely great to work with. We are so happy we hired him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who can handle both the planning side and the party side flawlessly.
Joshua Smeaton•Jun 12, 2026Wow, thanks Allison! That was a wonderfully thoughtful and in depth review. I had a fantastic time with you and Kris and all of your friends and family. I'm glad you loved the wedding. I work hard to make sure my couples have an amazing experience the entire process and not just the day of. It's an honor to be entrusted with a couple's once in a lifetime event. Wishing you all the best in life and love!

Josh Is The Best.
Josh was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He kept the energy up all night and had the dance floor packed, while still playing exactly what we asked for. He was so organized and prepared — from detailed timelines to multiple planning meetings — which made everything feel seamless. If you are looking for a DJ who is professional, fun, and truly cares, Josh is your guy.
Joshua Smeaton•Feb 16, 2026Jacquelyn & Adam, thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute honor to celebrate with you at The Westin Pasadena. You and your guests brought incredible energy to the dance floor, and I’m so glad everything felt seamless from planning through the last song. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together ❤️

Get Events by Josh for your wedding!!
I absolutely loved working with DJ Josh for our wedding. He is highly professional and organized-I really love the system he uses for song requests and wedding details-it made everything super easy and actually fun to fill out. I also really loved his follow up emails that periodically sent a wedding checklist that helped me stay on track. Everything on the big day went seamlessly. I am also an event producer and will definitely be working with Josh again on my events!

DJ Josh Was the Perfect DJ for Us!
Josh is a top-notch, classy DJ. In our first meeting, he said "I am here to DJ the wedding that YOU two want," and he did exactly that. Not only was he a fantastic DJ, he was helpful all along the planning process. The web portal gave us so much control over the playlists. The reminder emails were quite useful. And I really appreciated his DJ style- he only hopped on the mic when something needed to get done or attention needed to be directed somewhere. And when it comes to the music, he blended tracks seamlessly. I can't recommend Josh enough.
