Twin Spin Entertainment 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Carlos, CA

Twin Spin Entertainment is a professional full service DJ, Emcee, Video DJ, Audio, Lighting, Video and Event Production company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We've been serving the event and wedding industry for over 25 years, specializing in high end exquisite weddings all across the United States. We have a team of Elite level DJs that each have a minimum of 25 years of experience as a DJ and MC. We specialize in weddings, corporate events and nightclubs. We also offer bilingual MC services in Spanish, Cantonese and Mandarin.

We booked twinspin as our DJ and Photo Booths. DJ 4.5/5 We recently had our wedding and decided to hire Twin Spin Entertainment, which came recommended by our venue. While the owner, Young, was already booked, he introduced us to James, one of his experienced DJs. Our initial meeting with James went smoothly, and we felt confident moving forward with him and Twin Spin. The booking process was straightforward and easily managed through their website's client portal. The client portal also had very thorough questions such as laying out the specific songs for our ceremony, grand entrance, and first dance, etc. The client portal was also how we communicated which songs were on our do-not-play list, ceremony, dinner, and dancing. James arrived early to have everything set up and by the time our ceremony rolled around everything and everyone was ready to go. James did a great job both as an MC and DJ. While there were a couple of minor hiccups with timeline and announcements, he handled them well, keeping the flow of the event smooth. Since we had a lot of our older Asian guests, the dance floor wasn’t always packed, but we appreciated how James kept the energy up and mixed the music to appeal to everyone. The sound quality was great, and there were no major technical issues. All the microphones, speakers, and lights worked perfectly. Overall, we were very happy with Twin Spin and James, and we would definitely recommend them for any wedding or special event! Photo Booth 4.5/5 We knew we wanted to have a photobooth in our August 2024 wedding as it’s always a fun activity having attended previous weddings. Twin Spin offered this option along with their DJ services, and we selected them knowing that it would streamline and alleviate working with multiple vendors. We found their pricing reasonable after comparing other photobooth vendors. On the day of our wedding, the photobooth attendant came early to setup. She wrapped up early and our start and end time was 6-10pm which was a bit early than the original 6:30-10:30pm time. Overall the attendant was cordial and assisted our guests during use. There were slight miscommunications regarding meal and setup time, but otherwise our expectations were met. Twin Spin was able to explain and clarify this miscommunication and we provided feedback for communication for future clients. The photos turned out well, and we hope our guests took advantage of the service. The only feedback we received from our guests was that setup time was a bit slow, which we learned that it was the attendant’s first time setting up. Our vendor had good communication and responded quickly regarding our photobooth selection and receiving the photos.

Spencer is such an amazing DJ! I have only positive things to say about him. He is calm, organized, structured, kind, and professional. He is able to read the room and adjust accordingly. There were no awkward lulls at our wedding thanks to him. He kept a great flow to both our ceremony and reception. I have never seen so many people dance at a wedding! My friends aren't dancers, so the fact that he got all of them out there was amazing! We gave him a list of songs we liked, and he was able to choose great songs from there. He also kept the dance floor fun and upbeat. He was the most organized person at the wedding. He did the microphones and speakers for our friends who played the violin for the ceremony and the person ordaining. He also did the lighting (which was magical). I cannot even say in words what a great experience we had. All of our guests told us later that he was amazing too!

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.

I’m passionate about teaching and calling community dances that bring people together to experience joy, appreciate down home country music, and celebrate love! I come with a 3 piece live band and have lots of experience calling and coordinating dances for groups of 12 to over 300 people. I call the monthly Barn Dance at Pie Ranch as well as other community, private, and wedding dances all around the Bay Area.

Nina Berry is a delight to work with! From our very first email exchange she was enthusiastic and professional and I felt confident she would make our dreams of a fun community square dance with all our friends and family come true! And she did indeed. It's not easy to shepherd a group of newbie dancers, but she made everyone feel comfortable and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere. There were huge smiles all around and everyone commented afterwards what a great time they had. Nina's band Gettin' Good was filled with equally as lovely and talented women, and it was a joy to be able to dance to their lively music. Nina and her band made it a truly memorable and joyful event and we whole heartedly recommend them!

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.

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.

Hi! I’m Taj Panganiban, a DJ in the San Francisco Bay and surrounding areas. I’ve been DJing for 20 years total and have an understanding how to work with other professionals, make sure client’s have a good time and play the music people want to hear for the vibe that exists.

Taj is the best in the business. Book him right now before it's too late! We were connected with Taj via our wedding planner when our original DJ had to cancel at the last minute. He saved the day for us! With only a few weeks until the wedding, Taj came in with the best attitude and put us at ease. The second we got on the phone with him, we knew we had to move forward immediately. We were very clear we wanted a party, we wanted everyone on the dance floor the entire time, and we wanted a wide range of music. Taj did not disappoint. During the three hour dance party I had countless guests come up to me saying, "This guy is amazing!" and "This is so much fun!" Even weeks after the wedding, people were still talking about how great Taj was. Our reception wouldn't not have been so amazing without Taj constantly reading the vibe of the room to decide where to go next with the music. He is positive, a great communicator, and so incredibly talented - he was open to listening to our vision and executed it perfectly - down to the second. Whatever you are looking for in a DJ, just know that Taj can do it, do it well, and do it with the most fun attitude. Will recommend again and again!

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.

Helped us solve some last minute change ups and made it look easy. 10/10 without a doubt. If I ever have a DJ shaped hole in an event I'm planning, I'm reaching out to DJ Stallion. Thanks for being a part of the coolest wedding.

  • Serves San Carlos, CA

What if community and relationships were built around intentional connection, curated music & environment with high energy and loads of fun? With a combination of professionalism and personality, I seek to create an experience that creates lifelong memories and a lasting impression on everyone I work with.

Party Ardi is someone who does it all! He was an excellent MC & he truly helped us plan our program out. We had no idea what we wanted as far as a “program,” but he didn’t hesitate to help us create a nice little timeline for our reception! Ardi also took the time to meet with us Via zoom prior to the wedding, to plan out the timeline & also discuss music of course! He provided all the vibes & played us exactly what we wanted. Our guests LOVED the old r&b love songs during dinner, I loved seeing everyone’s faces when he’d play certain songs! The custom light add-ons are definitely worth it too! I highly recommend booking with Party Ardi- not just because he’s our friend, but because he’s simply the best all around!! Thank you for everything :)

We currently service over 25 metropolitan areas throughout the lower 48, and provide musical entertainment for hundreds of events every year. Our past clients include The United Nations, Lockheed Martin, Nationwide Auto Insurance, The Shell Oil Corporation, and many more. No event is too small or large for us. Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Garuda Blue 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves San Carlos, CA

Garuda Blue is the hip and premier jazz and party band of the San Francisco Bay Area, specializing in authentic, high-quality jazz and party music for weddings, corporate functions, events, etc. Composed of the finest young jazz musicians around, the band prides itself in delivering high-quality, sophisticated, and authentic jazz and party music for any occasion. With slick original arrangements of well-known jazz tunes, burning solos, foot-stomping party music, as well as a youthful, fun, and hip attitude, the band is sure to bring good vibes and positive energy to any event.

I’ve been to many weddings and live music absolutely elevates the wedding compared to using a dj. But even amongst live bands, Garuda Blue is just top of the top composed of jazz musicians who all have their own flair and soul to their music. Their music is original and never the same and having them play at our wedding may have been the single best choice. From cocktail hours to dancing, the live instruments and absolutely stunning vocalist makes you really feel like you are at somewhere special. They’re also absolutely professional and kind and personable. I can’t say enough good things about them. Yes if you get a dj it’s cheaper, but you will miss out on a magical night filled with real music and what is life without real music. Don’t hesitate to think if it’s worth it or not because real great live music can transform an ordinary event to a magical one.
