Manny and his team were amazing. Before the wedding he made sure to ask if we wanted specific songs for different parts of the ceremony and reception. We didn’t have a ton of specific songs, but we made a list of music with the vibes we wanted. Manny took the list, ran with it, and really took care of us. The dance floor was packed all night! He even played Tagalog pop songs and managed sound for a Filipino folk dance group. We also loved the little details like the template for our photo booth photos, the lights for the dance floor, and our initials projected on the wall. Thank you Bay Pro DJs, we’re so glad that you were there to help make our wedding so special.

Mark did a truly amazing job MC'ing & DJ'ing our wedding. From our first meeting, Mark understood what we were looking for and exceeded expectations. He helped us refine the vibe that we wanted in our entire wedding, from guest arrival, dinner music, to the dance floor. We had our brother in law (who does not usually do weddings) play keyboard during our ceremony and first dance and Mark seamlessly connect the piano to his system and ensured we had the correct connections for the model we had provided. Mark is the ultimate professional, his charisma and commitment to ensuring not only us but our guests had an amazing evening. Highly recommend Mark for any event, can't wait to work with him again!

We’re so glad we hired Spencer to DJ our wedding! He handled the audio for the wedding ceremony itself, MC’d the reception, played the music for the dancing, and also provided uplighting for the event space. Everything he worked on just went smoothly. The audio for the ceremony was high quality and just worked. He did a great job as MC, staying on time, announcing what was happening, and making everyone feel welcome. He did fantastically with the music too - we had a few specific requests, and he nailed them all, but most of the night we gave only vague instructions and he made a ton of great picks, keeping energy high on the dance floor. The uplighting he provided was beautiful as well and really elevated the space! Throughout the process, he was easy to work with, timely, communicated proactively, and was always on top of every little detail. We’d definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

DJ Stallion (aka Anthony) is one of the best DJs in the business. His vast knowledge of songs and musical genres makes him a one-of-a-kind DJ. I'll never forget a wedding we did together where the groom picked only 90s heavy metal rock as the musical choice. I was mortified as the planner, that it was going to be a terrible celebration with that genre; but DJ Stallion nailed it! He was able to deliver the groom's request and also keep the guests happy and on the dance floor. We've worked together for years and he will always be my first call when looking for a DJ.

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!

I am all about making sure you’re 100% satisfied. I bring the music and all the equipment necessary to have the best wedding or rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party or engagement party. I like to DJ the music that’ll bring a crowd together and get them dancing. I do accept song requests and I always have my notebook ready for the guest to write down what they want to hear. Some past clients have said it is the most fun they’ve ever had & best night of their life’s when I DJ their event.

I recently worked with Whitney at an event at a retail store. You can tell Whitney is passionate about what she does. She brings life and fun energy to whatever environment she’s in. Her music selection was perfect for the event! She took requests and went out of her way to make everyone feel special! If you’re looking for someone to add that extra personal touch to your event then Whitney is the one to hire!

One thing about me, I’m going to leave a review! Having officiated several weddings over the years, I've witnessed a myriad of bands take the stage, but this particular band stands out. Living Jade’s remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and passion elevated the atmosphere of the entire ceremony and reception. It’s refreshing to have musicians who understand volume control during the ceremony. I could actually hear myself think and I didn’t have to compete with their playing when moving the service along. Their ability to read the crowd, catering to both young and old, ensured the dance floor was never empty. The soulful melodies during the vows brought tears to many, and their vibrant tunes during the reception brought uncontainable joy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple seeking a musical experience that resonates long after the last note. Exceptional in every sense!

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.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

We had such an amazing experience working with Sounds Elevated for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication style was thorough, friendly, and fun. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly top-notch - they were creative, energetic, and flexible throughout the entire process. Having the John Varn Trio perform live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour set the perfect vibe right from the start. And when it was time for the reception, DJ Robin brought so much awesome energy to the dancefloor that had all ages out there partying all night long. There was never a dull moment thanks to the perfect blend of oldies, Bay Area hype, and millennial bangers that they curated. We would recommend the Sounds Elevated team to everyone - we don't think there is a better company out there to go with for your wedding or event!
