I’m Mark Addington, owner, founder, emcee, DJ, public speaker, and most importantly…creative at heart. I started my DJ career over 20 years ago for fun and fell in love with it along the way. My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process. I’m here to communicate and plan pre-wedding so you and your guests can leave it all on the dancefloor the day of the wedding.

Spencer was incredibly professional, organized, and created a super fun dance party for our wedding!

All Ears DJ (Bay Area & Chicago)

  • Offer

Music is everything. It’s your history, your identity, and your joy. It’s what moves you on the dance floor and what moves you to tears. Quite simply: it’s the most important decision you’ll make at your wedding. All Ears DJ is a premier entertainment group of highly-skilled performers led by owner/DJ/musician Richard Gintowt. Don’t settle for anything less than a DJ who can wow audiences with perfect blends, mashups & song selections. Talent matters, and All Ears DJs have shown up & showed out at more than 1000 weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area & Chicago during the past decade (as well as Los Angeles & destination weddings).

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

He listened to what we wanted and what we envisioned our wedding day to be, and took care of the rest. All of the band members were very warm, professional yet down to earth, and extremely talented musicians! Our first dance song we requested was "Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat." Having a live band performed this song under the stars was just chef's kiss. Everybody, i mean, EVERYBODY had the best time on the dance floor, singing and belting out songs alongside the main singer. Lots of memories were made on the dance floor, thanks to Garuda Blue. I cannot recommend Garuda Blue highly enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the best day ever!

The band offers flexibility in size and instrumentals, adapting to your specific vision and style and can provide live music for the entirety of your wedding, ensuring every moment is perfectly complimented.

Hella Fitzgerald, led by the amazing Lilan Kane, did a fabulous job at my son’s wedding. From the clear and timely communication with Lilan herself (no third party manager) over the months leading up to the big day about our budget and hopes and dreams, to the actual wedding day, it could not have been more perfect! The highlights were the epic brass band that led the 200 guests from the outdoor wedding ceremony to the reception, the mother-son dance (perhaps not the dancing skills but definitely the beautiful rendition of “What the World Needs Now (Is Love)” by Lilan and her band), and the song set with the glorious horns that kept the dance floor hopping (with everyone from the youngest guest to grandma) all night long! It went by too fast, but the memories will last forever! We could not have been more pleased! I could not recommend Hella Fitzgerald more!

My wife and I went in search of an incredible wedding band and we found it with Ruby Wedding and Party Band. The whole team, from the lead singers to the sound and light techs, was amazing to work with. Every step of the way they were courteous, on top of the details, and available to hop on a Zoom or respond to an email with our venue and our wedding planner. They took it upon themselves to make sure power and sound were all taken care of *and* they even tried to make sure we had tenting for the outdoor wedding (it wasn't even their job) just to take a load off of our plate. I'd hire this band again and again, and, if they'll do it for our 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary. Thanks!

  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Martinez, CA

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

The Celebration DJ was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, they were easy to communicate with, highly organized, and clearly very experienced in their craft. On the day of the wedding, they delivered an excellent performance that kept our guests dancing all night long. They were fun, high energy, and really played to the crowd, spinning a groovy mix of tunes that had everyone moving. At a couple points, the order of our events had to be changed on the fly, but the DJ was able to seamlessly roll with the punches and suggest the best way to adjust the schedule. They also did a fantastic job as the MC, expertly directing all of our guests and keeping the night flowing smoothly. We couldn't have been happier with the Celebration DJ and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding. Our venue and photographer both said they had never seen that many people on the dance floor before, a testament to how amazing he was!

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.

DJ Ray Reck totally understood our style and vision from our very first meeting and was an absolute GEM to work with - We couldn't recommend her more!!! On the day of our wedding, she was so calm, thoughtful, TALENTED, and played such a massive role in making our wedding the best (most fun) night of our lives. We even ended up extending our time with her because she was playing such good music that no one wanted to leave the dance floor! I can honestly say that choosing Ray was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process.

Rory was by far the best DJ ever! The ease of planning with the app he provided was simply amazing! Rory jumped on video calls with me and my wedding planner to talk through the timeline and music, he absoltuely knocked it out of the park! Everyone was commenting how amazing the music was and how beautifully he mixed/transitioned songs, the reception was a MASTERPIECE! Thank you so much Rory for making it our own little dance club for the reception with latin, house, pop, 80's and everything in between. He provided lighting and sound for ceremony as well! I will definitely be calling Rory for future parties!
