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!

Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional, getting everyone excited and joyful. They were also great communicators and wonderful to work with, offering helpful ideas and accommodating all our requests. If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Modern Highway. Highly recommended!

Tiger (aka Dj Ceviche) started music appreciation lessons at the age of 3 and has continued with professional music production, performance, composition, blogging, curation, and djing for the last 3 decades. His friendly, down-to-earth but professional approach to djing has won over the hearts and ears of people across the globe. He houses a large vinyl collection and 3 cats in his studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

Tiger is the best DJ ive ever seen at a wedding. Ive been to a million. He can tailor the playlist hugely based on what you like and keep things fresh. He also has no issue picking the perfect songs to lure people out onto the dance floor and KEEP THEM THERE. also his cocktail hour music was soo fun and dinner music was fantastic. He's also just super flexible if you need to add songs or swap them or change up the schedule. Hes just the best energy and super funny also. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music and will know and have any song you ever request. And if it just came out like two days ago he can quickly download it also. To sum it up, looking for a cool DJ is almost impossible, this guy is going to give you a good DJ set without any effort from you, he will just bring the party with him.

949 Studio met and exceeded my expectations for the wedding day! Our DJ Mike was considerate of our wants and met with us a few times before the wedding day to ensure everything was nailed down.

He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline. He was professional and kind and brought the energy to the wedding day! This team was incredible and made our wedding a night we will never forget!! Pictures don't capture just how much fun we had!

Our clients consistently commend us for the top-notch services we provide and our knack for keeping crowds engaged and entertained at every event. Our comprehensive offerings include DJs/MCs, Bilingual DJs/MCs (¡Hablamos Español!), Lighting, Sound, Monograms, Digital Displays, Special Effects (such as Cold Sparklers, Dancing in the Clouds, and more). We collaborate closely with you to accommodate every guest request, ensuring a seamless experience. Whatever your event entails, we are dedicated to delivering the finest entertainment, fostering the perfect atmosphere that you can rely on for an unforgettable occasion!

When considering the entertainment for our wedding, we immediately thought a band was the way we HAD to go. Taking a look at the pricing we thought we should at least consider a DJ to help curb the budget we were crushing. We set up a meeting with Diego and were immediately blown away by his professionalism and unique twist to your basic wedding DJ.   We appreciated the opportunity to sit down with Diego a couple times prior to our wedding to go over details and make sure we were comfortable moving forward. He listened to our ideas, offered his suggestions, and assured us that our wedding would be a party to remember.   He went above and beyond, orchestrating the music for our ceremony, creating a perfect atmosphere for our cocktail hour and dinner, and then an amazing reception atmosphere.   I would recommend Diego to anyone looking for a polished, professional, and fun DJ to add to whatever kind of party you’re planning.

Seps' Saxophone Experience

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

Here is a rundown of what I offer: • Top-of the-line audio equipment, including a wireless mic for officiant and speeches. • Pre-ceremony performance as guests arrive. • Customized ceremony music, including your chosen processional and recessional songs. I am happy to learn these. • Recorded music for cocktail hour. • Live music during dinner—this is my favorite part of the night! • Emceeing for dinner and the entire reception. I will also handle announcements that need to be made during ceremony and cocktail hour. • Performance of the first dance song. • DJing for the dance floor

For our destination wedding in Mexico, we wanted to create a unique environment for our big day… we knew our hidden hacienda in the jungle needed live music to set the tone for the night. Jonathan is an incredible singer and musician and from our first meeting, we knew he could create the cool vibe we were looking for. He played everything from Led Zeppelin as I walked down the aisle to Gin & Juice for our requested r&b/hip hop cover hour during dinner. As if he isn’t talented enough, Jonathan was also our DJ for when the party really started. We were lucky to have him be part of our wedding and will always be grateful for the amazing work he did!

You should most definitely consider booking Soundwave Productions for your event! One of their selling points was the ease of use of their website to select songs of yours and your guests' choice. During our consultation, Dj Wil sold us on his mixing skills. In addition, he gave us ideas on uplighting our venue (which he had worked several times), and even went through a mock timeline of how the night would unfold. Super helpful for someone to hear who hasn't been married or hired a DJ before. After meeting with their team, we knew we had to have them for our wedding. We also had their 'dancing on clouds' effects that completely helped set the mood for our reception and had everyone in awe. Dj Wil was amazing in getting our guests amped up and entertained. Not only that, Wil checked in with us through out the night to help make sure everything was ok. Almost a week later, our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding. THANK YOU, WIL AND CHRIS! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Second Song! Planning was super easy with the Rob team during the 9ish months leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, DJ Shredy was THE ICON of the night. We had built the playlist for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and he very much followed that our wishes. We really appreciated that because music is a huge part of our relationship. He was also very responsive over email and phone. He had a great personality on the day and was the perfect blend of an MC who was communicative but not overly on top of the mic. During the dance party portion of the evening, he rightfully threw in choices of his own that we hadn't thought of and I am so glad he did. He brought life to the party and we have gotten compliments since our wedding night about how much fun everyone had and how perfect the dance floor was. We are so grateful to him and the Second Song team. Thank you!

Full custom theme weddings from San Francisco's leading indie DJs. Share your love of music with family and friends. We're here to help you make your wedding sound like the mixtape you exchanged when you first met.

Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

BEST. DJ. EVER!!! We had THE best day ever and thank Seth for being such a HUGE part of it. It was a night we will never forget!! When my husband and I first started planning our wedding, we rated what was the most important to us that would make our wedding special and memorable...music being one of them. We started browsing around early on in the process, researched and interviewed with many bands and DJ's and came across Seth Vital as a recommended vendor from our venue. Not only did we instantly connect, but he lived up to the high expectation we had for our music. HE KILLED IT!! We got SO many compliments from our guests...whom some actually work in the music industry. From the very beginning, Seth worked with my husband and I and helped curate a set tone for the wedding. He provides an app that makes it easy to add songs that you like or dislike in order to make the wedding truly YOU. The transitions, the variety of genres, the flow, was ALL seamlessly in line with our expected tone of the night. Seth is not only a great DJ but a great person. We highly recommend Seth for your wedding. He will listen and provide you the best experience for the most special day of your lives. It was the greatest pleasure working with Seth Vital and we will refer him to all our loved ones and friends! Thank you, Seth!

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 :)

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that.

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.

Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

Listen DJ BSelecta aka Brandi was an absolute HIT at our wedding. Every single one of our guest was not expecting the turn up she provided. Our guest were on the dance floor all night. She had La Venta rocking that night. Brandi was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. From our first meeting, my now husband said, “she gets the vibe we want, that’s our DJ”. Music was extremely important for our wedding reception and Brandi delivered. I can not wait to have another event in California, BSelecta is the Young’s DJ for life!

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!!

Keith was the perfect DJ. Honestly! There is nothing that we would change about our wedding night, it was truly perfect. Keith is a class act professional who makes no compromise between quality and affordability. He values his clients and offers extraordinary service at an affordable price. I went in with high (but reasonable) expectations for our wedding night, and he definitely delivered above and beyond!! We had read other reviews of weddings that Keith had DJ’d where the clients were musicians and they had curated a specific type of music they wanted throughout the night, and he nailed it. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile, so I listen to a wide range of music, and I can also attest to just how amazing Keith’s music selection was! Part of a DJ’s job is to get you excited to go out on the dance floor, and we were already excited before the dancing began, because we just knew Keith was going to kill it (spoiler alert: he did!). He even mixed together multiple songs at once and it was amazing! Keith kept the atmosphere alive all night and there was never a dead moment. Most of the people were up and dancing, even people who have never been willing to dance before! It takes a skilled DJ to do that. It was electric. We had had a negative experience with another DJ company that we spoke to before we decided to look to Nocturnal Cafe, but just from the first conversation with Keith we knew he was our DJ. Keith was incredibly respectful to us, he was patient and understanding throughout the whole process, and he worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were going to have the best night of our lives. His process with his clients is great and made us feel very comfortable. He does a great job of avoiding the typical eye-roll cheesy songs (unless you request it, of course) and he picks songs that suit well for what you’re looking for. We gave him some songs/artists/genres we would like to hear (and some to songs to avoid) but we ultimately wanted to just give him an idea of what we were thinking and for him to use it as a guide more than a ‘must’. We gave him creative freedom to just let him work his magic and boy, was it magic that came out of those speakers!

He did an amazing job of combining the hispanic culture and Spanish speakers from my husband’s side and upbeat pop beats from my side. There was not a single dull moment on the dance floor and I spent half of my wedding getting to dance and drink with my support system. He made it a dream come true. Not to mention the lights made it feel sooooo bougie too!!! He also does a flawless ceremony and dinner service. Killed the entire ceremony from the moment he got there till the moment he left! Would hire him over and over again!

Bryan was absolutely amazing! And he had quite a journey with me. Our wedding was originally June of 2020, and Bryan helped me to sort out what to use for the ceremony, and helped to guide me toward good music for the reception. I was feeling reading, but of course COVID forced us to delay our wedding to June 2021. He was more than understanding, and helped us to delay with compassion. Fast forward to March of 2021, and due to a really devastating year on our family, we decided to cancel our wedding altogether. Bryan worked with my husband and I (we legally got married in 2020) to have an “unwedding” party, just some good music and karaoke in our backyard, to take our minds off of the tough times. It was so much fun, everyone had a great time, and Bryan helped us to lighten the mood to keep us distracted from what could have been a really sad day for us. I highly recommend him for weddings, parties and everything in between. Thank you Bryan for helping us through the crazy journey that was 2020 and 2021!!

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!
