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.

Where to even begin with Seth and his incredible service! From the get go, Seth was such a pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding can be so stressful and finding the right vendors takes time and effort. We are so happy we found him! His professionalism and DJ skills are beyond what we could have asked for. Seth offers such an amazing and organized process that he truly made our party come to life just as we imagined and hoped for. He takes the time and effort to get to know you as a couple, he makes the best recommendations when appropriate, he follows up as promised and executes what you plan with him just as you request. We had a special request for our ceremony in that we really wanted our song to be from our favorite Disney Pixar short film. We weren’t sure if it could be done because of the timing and editing required. Seth literally said “don’t worry I got you” and made it happen!!!:) It was an actual dream come true. What we appreciate the most though, is how easy he was to work with. He was very helpful and he truly is such a kind person! We didn’t have to chase him down with any questions because he is so proactive about giving the best experience to his clients. We could go on and on about how great he is but, point being is - book him now! We promise you won’t regret it!! :)

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Pasadena, 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.

Music is our passion and we want to share it with you and your guests. Our main goal here is to elevate and personalize your event so that it uniquely represents you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were SO picky about our DJ. We know that good music has the power to either elevate (or ruin) an event. We were super nervous but Dart Collective was the answer we needed. The benefit of booking through them is you're able to fill out a "Music Map" where you answer questions like "What is a MUST PLAY"? or "What artist(s) to avoid?" It's rather extensive (took us about 2-3hrs to complete). BUT - totally worth it. Through this map, they pair you with an available DJ, in your area, that has the experience the same music taste as you. It's a pretty great formula. We were nervous for the months leading up because we just weren't sure if they were going to match us properly. But, they definitely exceeded our expectations. Our only complaint is that it was SO GOOD that we wanted more, lol! Book! You won't regret it.

Hey! My name is Antonio McElroy, but you can call me Tony. I am a 32 year old Special Education teacher and DJ/MC. I began DJing under Robert Hilo of Hilo Productions in 2013. Under his wing, I learned all the ins and outs of DJing & MCing. My mission is to make sure you and your partner have the best time possible. From weddings to corporate & private events, I am here to help make the big day or event one for the books! I started this business with my wife, Jessica. We are committed to going above and beyond your expectations. We love to see our clients happy, and it's awesome that we get to do that together!

We absolutely loved working with TME! We booked Tony and Jess’ services for our small intimate wedding of about 40 people and we were more than pleased with how amazing they were to work with. From the very beginning they had great communication with answering our questions and we were able to set up multiple meetings before the wedding to chat about and orchestrate music for our big day. Tony was very dedicated to learning more about our vision and opinions and was very thorough when covering what music we did and didn’t want to hear. The day of the wedding, Tony and Jess showed up on time, were super professional and executed everything we discussed in our meetings perfectly. Tony was very charismatic on the mic and did an awesome job of blending the songs we requested with some of his own recommendations. We also amazed with some of the transitions he built in between songs to keep the energy going and our guests loved it! And on top of all of that, the pricing was more than reasonable as they provide different rates for different size weddings. We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect DJ for our wedding day and if we’re in need of a DJ again, TME will be my first call. Reasons we loved working with TME: -They’re insanely kind and professional -They have reasonable pricing -Great communication -Excellent services -Professional equipment -Massive collection of music

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Pasadena, 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!
