DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

When we were looking at a DJ for our wedding I talked to a lot of different DJs. No one compared to Preston. The expertise he brought was apparent from the moment I talked to him. He reinforced that feeling by his preparation for the wedding. He gave us a detailed document to fill out that made me reassured of the quality he would bring to our wedding. When I finally met him in person something else was confirmed. Not only was he a great DJ, he was a great person too. The care that he brought to our wedding was the exact feeling we were looking for and he was incredible. I cannot recommend Preston highly enough. Great DJ and a great person as well!

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!
