Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Second Song! Planning was super easy with the Rob team during the 9ish months leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, DJ Shredy was THE ICON of the night. We had built the playlist for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and he very much followed that our wishes. We really appreciated that because music is a huge part of our relationship. He was also very responsive over email and phone. He had a great personality on the day and was the perfect blend of an MC who was communicative but not overly on top of the mic. During the dance party portion of the evening, he rightfully threw in choices of his own that we hadn't thought of and I am so glad he did. He brought life to the party and we have gotten compliments since our wedding night about how much fun everyone had and how perfect the dance floor was. We are so grateful to him and the Second Song team. Thank you!

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.

Each member of the band is beyond talented and phenomenal. You must hire the Moon Units and I promise you will have the best event you’ve ever been to or hosted. The Moon Units performance at cocktail hour was incredible and then their performance for two dance sets was SO MUCH FUN! The bass player will even get on the dance floor and play with you which is just such a highlight! They are so versatile and know just about every song. Incredible. They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day. I could go on and on about how incredible and talented each musician is and how collectively they are just the best team and band. Your event will be phenomenal when you hire The Moon Units!

We cannot thank Tony Mac Entertainment enough for helping to make our wedding a fun and memorable event for everyone! Tony was wonderful, professional and personal. We met three times via Zoom to discuss the music. Tony's experience and suggestions were so helpful in figuring out the music for both the ceremony and reception. He totally "got" us and our vision, but was comfortable adding his own unique touch. We got so many compliments from our guests about how awesome our DJ was and we could not agree more. We highly recommend Tony for any event. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he knows how to keep the party going. Our wedding was in May, just as things were opening back up after Covid, and it was the first time that many of our friends and family had the chance to get together in over a year. We wanted our wedding to be beautiful for us, but also a reunion for everyone providing some much-need fun. Tony truly helped make the day one of love and joy for everyone, and we are eternally grateful!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Nahchey and DASH entertainment do a great job coordinating all your musical needs for any type of event - for us it was our wedding. From the beginning it went smoothly and he and his team are very thorough and responsive. We chose DJ Becca who is very nice and was up our alley of musical taste. Our goal was for a dance vibe type of wedding but there were a few miscues with the songs she played. We’d hope she would read the room better and continue to play songs that she noticed people were enjoying but her transitions between songs were a bit odd. Nonetheless, she was a joy to work with and maybe with a bit more direction (our fault, not hers!) this would be a 5 star review. Highly recommend reaching out to DJ Nahchey and DASH Entertainment, they have many DJs to choose from!

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!

Bryan was absolutely amazing! And he had quite a journey with me. Our wedding was originally June of 2020, and Bryan helped me to sort out what to use for the ceremony, and helped to guide me toward good music for the reception. I was feeling reading, but of course COVID forced us to delay our wedding to June 2021. He was more than understanding, and helped us to delay with compassion. Fast forward to March of 2021, and due to a really devastating year on our family, we decided to cancel our wedding altogether. Bryan worked with my husband and I (we legally got married in 2020) to have an “unwedding” party, just some good music and karaoke in our backyard, to take our minds off of the tough times. It was so much fun, everyone had a great time, and Bryan helped us to lighten the mood to keep us distracted from what could have been a really sad day for us. I highly recommend him for weddings, parties and everything in between. Thank you Bryan for helping us through the crazy journey that was 2020 and 2021!!

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.

If he can do this with my crazy family, I can only imagine how magical an evening he creates for sane families!

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!

DJ Carlos 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

My type of party is any party that involves cumbia, merengue, banda, norteno, reggaeton, and hip hop. Growing up in a Mexican household I know what the familia likes and will have the tias dancing no doubt about it or have your tios singing their heart out. I am also crucial in any Mexican American wedding because i can MC in English / Spanish and play hits to get the American side of the family dancing .

DJ Carlos is an absolute delight to work with. His communication style is amazing - they are incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions, and provide clear and detailed information. The music they play at weddings is high-energy and keeps the dance floor packed all night long. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding DJ.

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

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.
