Golden Bell was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Original versions of songs but accompanied by the energy of live instruments. Golden Bell was professional and communicative from start to finish and our guests have been raving about them ever since the wedding. If you book them, you will find that your guests who don’t normally like to dance or stay until the end of a reception will be on their feet the whole time with huge grins on their faces. My wife and I could not have been happier with how things turned out.

Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

Oh man, let's talk about Daniel and his www.azbestdj.com crew! From "booking us" to "being there at last dance of the night" Daniel seriously rocked our wedding day! I mean, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and exactly how we wanted it. Communication was on point, and he really took the time to understand us and make the music choices for day uniquely ours. I had my special "1st Dance" and "Ceremony music" already picked out, but for "our 8 year olds to 80 year old crowd" I didnt know what to pick for "fast dancing" trusted Daniel to keep the party going and he totally nailed it! We've got some Greek family on my mom's side, and by request from a family member, he even played a sick Greek song later in the night that got everyone grooving together. My aunt led a traditional greek dance step, and it was a blast! Seriously, so many of our guests complimented Daniel and the dance floor was never empty and I liked how the microphones, DJ lights and DJ/MC and even "planning time" were "all included". I can't stress enough how awesome he was as a DJ. If you're looking for the best DJ ever, Daniel's your guy! Highly recommend!

Southcoast Production Group

San Diego, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $799
  • Serves Calimesa, CA

Welcome. Southcoast Production Group is a wedding entertainment and DJ service based in San Diego, CA. A husband-and-wife duo, this team works together to offer endless entertainment to their clients. Thanks to years of experience and a talent for reading the crowd, this DJ offers an exceptional service. They understand that every celebration is different and work closely with each client to create a tailored performance for their special day. Southcoast Production Group caters to events throughout Southern California. They supply all the equipment needed, letting you relax and dance the night away as they play your favorite hits.

We had great first impression with this company, and we felt that we weren’t being over charged or DJ services plus a photo booth. Emailing back and forth was pretty straightforward and they got back to us in timely manners. The only thing: I had asked if we should have a phone conversation the week of the wedding for details and timeline purposes, and the vendor said it wasn’t necessary. On our wedding day as he’s announcing us into the reception, my name gets pronounced wrong. It’s not a huge deal but something that probably wouldn’t have happened if he spoke to us a few days prior. There were issues with timeline throughout our wedding but that wasn’t completely the dj, that was mainly on our wedding coordinator failing to go over everything with him. The photo booth we booked with this vendor too was great, absolutely zero complaints about that. All our guests loved it. Overall we were satisfied with this booking, just wished a few loose ends could have been tied up beforehand.

DJ Keith was our first and only choice for our DJ and he still exceeded our expectations. He was the DJ for my sister's wedding and when I had to book a DJ I knew exactly who we wanted. Keith's mixing skills are unmatched and he knows how to get people up onto the dance floor and keep the party going! We had friends stay on the dance floor nearly the entire night and saw guests dancing that we never thought we would see cutting a rug! Keith also handled the sound system for our ceremony and the toasts, which all occurred without any issues. He even went above and beyond helping us put our photo slideshow together when we couldn't figure it out on our end and displayed it for us throughout our reception. He was professional, knowledgeable, and so easy going yet enthusiastic for the music and vibe that we wanted for our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, you can stop looking and book Keith now!

Lark and her performance made our wedding reception into the unforgettable night we wanted and more. It was a dance party and sing-along like no other wedding we (or our friends) had seen before. It was perfect from start to finish. And when I say start, I really mean it. We met Lark a year before our wedding when she just so happened to be playing at the dueling piano bar where I proposed to my wife with Lark's last minute help. It was her perfect rendition of Bruno Mars's "Marry You" (which she learned on the spot) that really made the proposal perfect. We stayed in touch and were thrilled to learn that she played wedding receptions. We were even more thrilled when we realized that her very reasonable prices actually fit in our budget. Throughout the wedding planning, Lark was so accommodating. She was responsive to all our requests, made helpful suggestions, and was incredibly flexible as we were constantly changing timelines and floor plans. She was even more amazing on the day of the reception. Our biggest fear was that people would not dance at our wedding (smallish wedding with a very plain venue) but those fears immediately subsided as soon as Lark kicked off the night. She was our MC, vocalist, and obviously an amazing piano player. From the first note of "Livin' On A Prayer" to the last note of "Don't Stop Believing," the dance floor was packed and our guests loved every second. We lost count of how many people told us "best dance party ever!" To top it off, halfway through the night Lark presented us with the exact request card I gave her the night I proposed to my wife over a year earlier. She had it saved in a small frame so that we could keep it forever, which brings me to my last point. Lark will provide great entertainment no doubt, but what really sets her apart is the heart that she put into each event. We will cherish the memories we made with her forever and can't wait for an excuse to hire her again!

If you're considering booking The Mighty Untouchables for your wedding, stop considering and BOOK right now! We were new to the San Diego area when we got engaged, and our wedding planner recommended The Mighty Untouchables. We had not heard them live, which made me nervous, but we took a chance and booked them anyway. Best. Decision. Ever. Our wedding was a BLAST due in large part to the band keeping the dance floor packed the whole time. We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context). We agree! Beyond their musical talent, The Mighty Untouchables were so kind to my husband and I on our big day, along with all of our guests. I am so thankful we got to work together. Just trust me: you won't regret The Mighty Untouchables. Thank you for helping make our wedding the most incredible day!

We had the pleasure of having The Moon Units perform at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! We enjoyed working with Dylan, he was incredibly accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process. From the initial planning stages to our big day, Dylan and the band were very professional, helping us sort out all the specific details well in advance. One of the highlights was when they specially learned a song for our first dance. It was such a personal touch that made the moment unforgettable. They also performed a beautiful acoustic rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" for our ceremony, which was perfect. They kept the energy high and the good vibes all night long. They curated a great set list for us and played a wonderful mix of oldies, classic rock hits, and modern pop that we and our guests loved. We can't recommend The Moon Units enough. They made our wedding night super fun and memorable. Check out their youtube/instagram and see for yourself why you should book them. I suggest just reaching out for an initial email/phone call w/ Dylan, who is friendly and a pleasure to work with.

We were recommended to GE Productions through our wedding coordinator Holly Kalkin. She knew we wanted someone who was more than your "basic wedding DJ." Sure there are many DJs out there that can get the job done, but we wanted someone who could really create our vibe as we are really big music lovers and wanted a large range. She recommend DJ Jimmy Grizzley of GE Productions and from our first phone call, we knew he was dedicated to his craft and his clients. After signing our contract he sent us private lists that helped us sort through different music we wanted to hear at the various segments of the day/night. There were lots of little details that we didn't think of, but he asked us in advance...... like how long we anted to have our first dance and a suggestion for the Grand Entrance as we had a big production planned. When it came to our big day, the lighting looked amazing, the music was off the chart, and he did such a great job emceeing the wedding. He really did a good job of mixing in a few older tracks (that we didn't originally want) because we wanted our older relatives to feel included (his suggestion). My dad ended up giving him more of a tip ..... bah ha ha. In the end everyone was happy, and most of all me n my hubs. Thanks Jimmy, you're the best!!

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!
