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.

Coming from a family of people who love to dance our DJ choice was very important to me. Keith was the best choice! He did an amazing job of combining the hispanic culture and Spanish speakers from my husband’s side and upbeat pop beats from my side. There was not a single dull moment on the dance floor and I spent half of my wedding getting to dance and drink with my support system. He made it a dream come true. Not to mention the lights made it feel sooooo bougie too!!! He also does a flawless ceremony and dinner service. Killed the entire ceremony from the moment he got there till the moment he left! Would hire him over and over again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

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

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!

I simply cannot emphasize how amazing Lily Press & Simon Linn-Gerstein are. After falling in love with their music from hearing it on their website, we got in touch with them to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the very start of this process, Lily & Simon have gone above and beyond to help make our wedding day special. Their organization, professionalism, and talent made this part of our wedding planning process (a generally stressful time) feel so effortless and happy. They were always quick to respond and communicated with us so well that we always felt we were in good hands (not to mention it has been SUCH a joy to talk to them). Lily & Simon were truly one of the few wedding vendors we had that I NEVER had a single worry or hesitation about and I cannot recommend them enough. Their beautiful music helped shape our whole ceremony and the custom composition they composed for us (ABBA’s “I Have A Dream”), which we used for our recessional, had everyone in happy tears. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their beautiful playing as much as we did and we will always remember what an amazing experience we had with them. Lily & Simon - thank you SO much!!!

When you have a family as large as mine chaos seems to ensue whenever there is a large gathering, add in an open bar and anything can happen. On multiple occasions Flobo seemed to magically keep the piece either through song choice, or dance off invite, or any number of other tricks he seemed to hide up his incredibly fashionable sleeves. I dare say this was the first wedding in the history of my family that didn’t have at least one disagreement break out. If he can do this with my crazy family, I can only imagine how magical an evening he creates for sane families!

With the right music, your wedding is the perfect opportunity to bring your two families together, uniting them on the dance floor as you begin this new chapter of your life.

Working with Gerry with California Music Group has been one of the best decisions of my event planning career. Explained what the client expected, discussed pricing, shared event information, signed on the dotted line and done! Worry-free and most importantly, guest-engaged events! For any occasion. Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, even non-profit events. He definitely knows how to read the room. So professional and the best part, he's a team player. It's like I added another member to my staff. I 100% recommend you work with California Music Group. You can thank me later. ;)

Echo Phi 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Santa Monica, 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!
