Awarded Best of Zola
Rob and all the staff we worked with at Second Song were great! I vetted several DJs for my husband’s surprise 70th birthday celebration and selected Second Song live DJ because they were able to provide a soloist and a sax player to compliment the overall DJ experience. 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. Any changes , questions or ideas I had were promptly acknowledged, answered and collaborated on which continually reassured me that Second Song took a personal interest in making our night one to remember. I also found out that Second Song is frequently hired by my employer, Providence Medical Center in Torrance, for their Foundation events.

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. I am the Resident DJ for Première Los Angeles (premierelosangeles on IG). Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue person). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 600+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that Dylan and the Moon Units MADE our wedding, I am not exaggerating. They not only delivered, the exceeded our already high expectations in every way possible. Music was extremely important for my husband and me, and we knew immediately that we wanted a live band to elevate the evening. We found Dylan and the Moon Units' information online, and after finding that they were very within our budget we reached out and Dylan invited us to one of their gigs in Hollywood. We loved their vibe and booked them. We asked Dylan to play both our ceremony and our reception, as well as play preset playlists for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. Now, I must admit, because music was so important for my husband and my special day, we had *very* specific ideas for what we wanted. Dylan was extremely communicative, answering all of my extremely needy and detailed emails in a timely manner and doing everything he could to reassure me that we were in good hands. We made selections from the list of songs they knew, and also asked them to learn about 10 new songs for us, ranging from unique arrangements of existing songs to deep cuts from 90's movies. Dylan's communication was warm, expeditious, and professional, and I felt really well taken care of. At our wedding, though, is where they exceeded our expectations. The live music they played was amazing, and set the tone for our wedding in the exact way we were hoping for. At the reception, they kept the energy up with a perfectly curated playlist of our requests (and we had quite a lot!) songs they knew would keep the party going. Their song choices appealed to the older crowd as well as the Millennial crowd. Dylan even help me set up a surprise performance for my husband, where I sang one of this favorite songs ("Go Cubs Go") with the backing of the Moon Units band. It was an incredibly special moment. And creating special moments was what Dylan and the Moon Units did best. Somehow, they managed to keep the dance floor packed the entire evening. Months after our wedding, our guests have continuously called out Dylan and the Moon Units as an absolute highlight of our wedding, saying that it was musically one of the best weddings they have ever been to. All-in-all, I cannot recommend Dylan and the Moon Units enough. As someone who was VERY specific about the music at my wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations. Book them for your wedding ASAP - you will not be disappointed.

Living Jade was the best decision we made for our wedding vendors. They played at our engagement party in Santa Barbara and our actual wedding in San Francisco. Steve encountered an issue with a band member. The singer got sick the day before the wedding, but he found a replacement that was outstanding. His network of musicians allowed him to resolve a major issue. My husband and I were happy that our contract was respected. On top of that, the energy of the band was amazing on stage. We were so happy that our guests were all on the dance floor. I never sweat so much on a dance floor.

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

Susie and her musicians are all so talented. They are very versatile and their huge song list includes many genres of music. The music reaches all generations from millennials to octogenarians. Music is very important to my wife and me, so when we decided to get married the first thing we did was call Susie. We picked a date for the wedding based on the band’s availability. Susie was so easy to work with and helped us in so many ways. She suggested the venue we used, acted as our MC, and she even learned a special song to which we walked down the aisle, “There’s a Place for Us.” It was a wonderful event thanks to Susie. An older friend said it was the best wedding she’d ever been to, even her own!

David was the EmCee for my wedding and was the real star of the show! (Okay I guess my wife was, but whatever.) He was instrumental in helping us keep the flow of our wedding go off without a hitch. He got a bunch of old white people shaking their booties with 90s dance music and The Spice Girls. (He asked permission for that one ahead of time.) On a serious note, I asked David to make sure I didn’t make a fool of myself at my own wedding and he memorably told me “I’ll wrestle you to the floor if I have to!” David was truly great. I’m so grateful to have him as part of our memories and to have had him running the show on our special day.

So happy we went with RedShoe for our wedding! We worked with Jonathan (JCR), who was amazing. He was so helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding in discussing music choices and timing, and offered some really great advice based on his experience with our specific venue, which was so great. He did an amazing job with all of our requests, playing exactly the type of music we were hoping for during our cocktail hour and dinner. For the ceremony, he timed the songs perfectly for our walks down the aisle, and for the party and dancing he read the room and played the BEST music. We got so many compliments on the music and many guests asked who the DJ was. Jonathan was super sweet, and we really appreciated his help and his work! Highly recommend RedShoe and JCR!

DJ Ryan was AMAZING at our wedding! DJ Tempoe Entertainment as a whole is very organized and always made me feel comfortable and confident. Ryan is a music genius and knew exactly what to play to get the party started. He also was very cooperative in my song requests. For instance, I told him I really wanted to focus on 70s/80s hits and 2010s nostaglia, and he totally nailed it!

With the right music, your wedding is the perfect opportunity to bring your two families together, uniting them on the dance floor as you begin this new chapter of your life.

Working with Gerry with California Music Group has been one of the best decisions of my event planning career. Explained what the client expected, discussed pricing, shared event information, signed on the dotted line and done! Worry-free and most importantly, guest-engaged events! For any occasion. Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, even non-profit events. He definitely knows how to read the room. So professional and the best part, he's a team player. It's like I added another member to my staff. I 100% recommend you work with California Music Group. You can thank me later. ;)

The Moon Units played for our wedding and all of our guests commented on how great the singers were. The band showed up dressy in suits and cocktail dresses, they danced while they sang. They could sing any genre. Dylan who runs the band bookings is sooooo detailed. He will make anything happen for you. They played an instrumental song I love while announcing the wedding party for Grand Entrance- so authentic! I more than highly recommend this band. They will jump through hoops for their bride and deliver a great outstanding performance.

Echo Phi

  • Solo performer

  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

Operating out of Los Angeles, California and the Souther California Area, Echo Phi is a luxury wedding service that adds a profound spiritual dimension to your special day. Led by renowned sound healer DragonFire, they tailor each experience to the couple’s vision, from serene private sound baths to deeply immersive ceremonies with elegant alters.

Hiring Echo Phi for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made! DragonFire and his team created an experience that went beyond anything we could have imagined. We chose one of their high-end packages, and every part of it was exceptional. The pre-wedding sound healing session helped calm our nerves, and the custom altar they designed with luxurious crystals was a stunning focal point of our ceremony. What truly made our day unforgettable was the private sound bath for my husband and me—an incredible upgrade that added such a personal and intimate touch. It was a deeply spiritual moment that allowed us to feel grounded and connected right before the ceremony. Our guests also loved the sound bath during the reception, and many said it was unlike anything they had ever experienced at a wedding. DragonFire’s presence and energy are just extraordinary. We felt so supported and cared for throughout the entire process, and it made our wedding feel incredibly special and meaningful. If you’re looking for a wedding experience that’s unique and transcendent, Echo Phi is the way to go!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Michelle(aka Haute Mobile Disco) all the praise she deserves. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Michelle and Ian previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional. All of their paperwork to fill out in advance for which genres of music I wanted was super easy and helpful to get exactly the vibes we were looking for. They created the PERFECT playlist and had my guests on the dancefloor literally the entire night. I added a live Saxophone which was the perfect addition. He was incredible. It created such a fun and interactive experience for my guests that they are still raving about. Michelle was so flexible with all my crazy song choices, a few which weren’t easy to find, as well as my idea to have a re-introduction when I chopped off my hair during the reception and came back out in a sequin jumpsuit. She did the perfect introduction and made the dancefloor feel like a night at the Grammy’s instead of a humble backyard wedding. Cannot recommend Michelle and her team enough, they were everything we could have asked for and brought the best energy and vibes we were looking for!
