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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hi there! I'm Austin Boyd, DJ Austo 🕺 First of all, congrats on your engagement!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ AUSTO IS THE BEST WEDDING DJ. HANDS DOWN! Before we hired him he wanted to set up a zoom call to meet us and see if he was a good fit for our style. Right from our first conversation, he was so easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable. It felt like we've known him for years even though it was our first encounter. He was super friendly, amazing energy, and has a great personality. When it came to the music, he nailed it! He played exactly what we wanted, but he also added his own little twist that made it even better!! He totally understood the vibe we were going for and kept the dance floor packed all night long. What we loved most about him was that he gave us the freedom to choose. He let us have a say in every aspect of the music, from the special songs to the overall genre. It was so awesome to have that kind of control and he made it all happen seamlessly! He knew how to read the crowd like a pro! He had this knack for playing the right songs at the right time, keeping the energy high and the party going. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. SO HYPE! We were absolutely blown away by the amazing aesthetic he brought to our reception! The speakers and up lights he provided looked absolutely beautiful in our ballroom. They truly elevated the ambiance and added an extra touch of magic to the entire evening. It was such a memorable and stunning visual experience AND GET THE CO2 GUN! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding DJ. He was friendly, hype, energetic, personable, and played the best music. If you want someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, he's the one to go with. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!! We love you DJ Austo!!

I listen diligently to your dreams for the day and make sure you get the event you’re picturing.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

DJ Solstice

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

With many years of experience, our team of experts are trusted names in the wedding DJ business. Our DJs are great at reading the crowd & keeping the energy up on the dance floor with clean mixing and smooth transitions, while also knowing when to slow it down for those special moments or throw it back to some classics. Guests are blown away by the level of professionalism (and a good bit of fun) our team provides, with dedicated experts in lighting/sound design, photobooth, and MCing. With music catering to all generations, we excel in keeping the flow of the event and eliminating dead time, while PACKING that dance floor!

All the roses to this guy right here! My wife Rachael and I had our wedding at Aliso Viejo Wedgewood and DJ Solstice far exceeded my expectations and those of our guests! I spent excruciating days and hours combing the internet, listening to plenty of vlogs and samples from DJ after DJ, for anyone that can match the vibes my wife and I were seeking for our wedding and Matt absolutely delivered! He continued to work diligently with me as we worked through our vision for the wedding day and he was noting short of a consummate professional through the whole processes despite the obstacles, definitely worth every bit of time and budget we had set for him! Every single guest we had come up to us loved him from his transitions, to his control of the dance floor and vibes, and even his ability to MC was far above what we have experienced in other weddings! Not to mention all the lights, sounds, and CO2 cannons he brought out! Certainly at the grade and level he promised when we first met and more! We asked for an EDM Set and he gave us one way above anything we ever expected, and we've seen plenty! For a day we don't ever plan to replicate again in our lives, I'm glad my wife Rachael and I were able to share this day with Matt and his team and they have our highest recommendation we could give to anyone for ANY of your music genre needs! Matt, looking forward to seeing your future clips, gig logs, and your continued growth in the forseable future!

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!

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 :)
