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!

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!!!!

DJ Seth was beyond prepared for all of our prep meetings, and is extremely knowledgeable so we knew we could trust him to take good care of us. To be honest, he sold me from the very first introductory meeting when he had a powerpoint presentation (!) to share, and then locked it in with my husband when he showed us the app that we would be using to share our music selections. Music is such a critical component of a party, and the one thing we were certain of was that we wanted everyone to have an amazing time and dance the night away. He definitely delivered on our request for pop music, blending in hit after hit, and got a rousing chant for an encore at the end of the night! We didn't know much about uplighting, but since it came with our package (plus he upgraded us with some fancier lights) we went with it - and looking back at the photos, it truly helped set the mood for the entire party. One slightly different request we had was met with ease - we had some cultural dancers during the reception who had their own music track, and Seth was so accommodating. He also provided the sound system for the string quartet that we hired to play during the ceremony; since it was outdoors, it was nice to have them amplified so they weren't drowned out by the ambient noise. We are so thankful to Seth for helping us throw the best party of our lives! VERY HIGHLY recommend!

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
DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

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

We had Lily and Simon play for our pre-ceremony music as well as the music during our wedding ceremony. They are both incredibly talented and dedicated musicians, individually and as a duo. Everything about working with them was easy and professional. We didn’t have a strong opinion about the pre-ceremony music, so Lily suggested we give them a time period/genre and they could put the rest together, which was so great to have taken care of. We had only one song request, In My Life, for when we left the ceremony, which they arranged for us. It was absolutely beautiful! Communication was very clear and they both so clearly care about not only the quality of their work, but also about making such an important day as special and seamless as they can. We had so many guests comment on how wonderful the music was as well. You can’t go wrong with Lily and Simon and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

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.

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.

Josh is hands down the world's greatest DJ. It was hit after hit—I have truly never had so much fun on a dance floor--it was MAJOR. From start to finish, everything about working with him was easy. Most importantly, we felt included in the process. There were a lot of songs that I wanted to hear on the dance floor, which I was able to easily request in advance through their portal, and Josh was fantastic about playing those requests and keeping the dance floor packed with songs that fit the vibe. He was warm, easy to work with, the communication was great....he was just the best. I want to throw another party just to hire him again!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Hiring a live band for wedding entertainment adds a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere to the celebration. Hire A1 to perform at your wedding and be confident that we will make the entertainment top notch and memorable. Live music offers a personal touch, allowing for customized playlists and special song requests that reflect the couple's unique tastes. A live band's presence brings a sense of authenticity and excitement that recorded music simply can't match. The visual and interactive elements of a live performance, including the band's engagement with the audience, contribute to a lively and festive ambiance.

Well would you ask for a review if for one moment you thought that it would be anything less than a full 5 stars? Our big day was one of joy and fun helped enormously be the entertainment and live band.

Music plays a pivotal role in your individual heritage, and that is why picking the right DJ is the most important decision you can make in planning your wedding day. 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. ;)

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.
