“Gabriel and his team were absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish, they made our wedding the best night of our lives. The app they use was such a genius tool—it made planning so easy and fun, letting us customize our playlist while also trusting Gabriel’s expertise. Communication was seamless; Gabriel was always quick to respond, super organized, and genuinely excited to make our big day perfect. Gabriel was incredible in determining when was the right time to transition into slow songs or over to a faster beat. He definitely had an eye for how the vibes were happening during those moments. With half of our wedding party being diverse and Latino, we were so impressed by his deep knowledge of the different genres and dances. He effortlessly blended everything together and kept the dance floor packed all night long to the point that no one wanted the wedding to end! The photobooth was such a hit! Our guests had a blast, and we it was the perfect touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and team. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, hire Gabriel—you won’t regret it!”

“TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!”
