Spencer was incredibly professional, organized, and created a super fun dance party for our wedding! We’ve had guests asking for the playlist from our wedding because it was so on point and we owe it all to Spencer. Spencer also handled all of the lighting (indoor and outdoor) at our Brazilian Room wedding, it looked fantastic and he accommodated our special requests. Spencer provided us with a spreadsheet to help us get organized, and then he made sure we stayed on time and kept the speeches and other cues on time.

Hello world! You can just call me Shy :). When it comes to the types of music I listen to and play, I am all ears. Sure, I have seasonal genre favorites but I seriously enjoy a collection of it all. So yes from funk, to Motown, classic rock, Bollywood, EDM, afrobeats, house, blues, reggaeton, latin, cumbias, pop, lo-fi, jazz, alternative, experimental, hip-hop, punk rock, synth. It's also time and place, sometimes you're at the gym and I want rachet music, or you're staring off into the rain and want nothing lyrical. Overall, if you are looking for a fun and flexible DJ feel free to reach out :).

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 really don't think I could have found better people than James and Benji from Ceremony DJs to prepare an awesome playlist for our wedding. Benji was the one DJing on the day of our wedding. Working with them was definitely, by far, the most fun part of the wedding planning activities! James and Benji really exceeded my expectations! I knew they were going to be good, but what they ended up delivering was pure magic. They worked really hard into assembling a perfect playlist for our wedding, and they really put a lot of thoughts into it, and they definitely cared about us. Their passion of music really shined during the months leading up to our wedding and on the day of. I was so impressed by their extensive knowledge of music through so many genres and decades. Having a DJ who could spin actual vinyls was a must for me, and I liked that they could also pull up digital files seamlessly if needed. They definitely helped a lot in making our wedding day the best of our lives so far. We met over video a couple times before the wedding to discuss our musical preferences, where they asked us about bands and artists' names we liked. They 100% listened to our suggestions, and I never felt judged, and they were able to mix both our diverging musical preferences together on the day of. We also gave them a Spotify list containing about 200 songs in total to help preparing the final playlist. I think they must have played all the songs we requested on the day of, and Benji who was spinning vinyls for us that day and evening (4:45pm to 11:15pm) even found a way to play some more really good songs that were not in our initial playlist! The after-dinner party was so epic and everyone had a blast on the dance floor! I think the best part is that Benji even accepted to play some of my vinyls that I had brought to the Palace, and when he slapped on Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky as we were sitting down for dinner, I almost cried of happiness, it felt like a dream. One of my sisters and my mom actually said those words exactly, that the wedding day and evening felt like a movie, just like a dream. My only regret is that our wedding was at the Palace in SF, and they forced us to leave at around 11:15pm, and I feel like we were just getting started, it felt so good I could have kept dancing until the early morning. I will be recommending James and Benji at Ceremony DJs very strongly to friends and family.

I hired Jackie to sing at my wedding reception Dec 3rd 2022! When I heard some samples of her voice on YouTube, I knew she has was the one I wanted singing at my wedding!! She has a beautiful beautiful soulful voice that you can get lost in for days. Jackie was super flexible, shared her ideas and suggestions when I I didn't know what direction to go with songs ( wedding planning was stressful) but she made it easy to plan and make suggestions based on my song choices. I had her sing and play the piano for 3 different songs Father daughter dance, mother son dance, and cake cutting! Looking back, being someone who’s goal was to have more entertainment then speeches, id had her perform the whole time! Our guest raved about her voice, her performance, and how beautiful her renditions sounds. She was SO SO EASY TO WORK WITH.. With a wedding being crazy expensive.. She was accommodating to our budget! There’s no doubt I’d hire her again! She can sing anything! Love love love her

The day we were scheduled to meet DJ Christie to interview her, it was just one of those days where I was feeling a step behind. Stuck in traffic, couldn't find parking, now late to our first meeting, I was ready to give up and tell Christie and my now husband to go on without me. Without skipping a beat, Christie suggested I find a place to pull over and the two would join me in my car to have our meeting - she wasn't phased one bit! She was chipper as can be and pivoted so easily to accommodate us. I knew right then that we had to bring her on as our wedding DJ! We had a lot of stereotypical things wedding DJs do that we didn't want, and she understood and honored that. We danced the night away! All of our guests raved at how much fun they had dancing to her mix of songs and how much fun she seemed to be having as well. We highly recommend the Heart of Gold DJs, especially DJ Christie!

DJ Wayne Noel
San Francisco, CA
  • DJ

I started DJ’ing as a kid with two boom boxes, cassette mixtapes, and a deep love for music. I got into Turntablism and DJ’ing as an art form after completing a term in the Air Force. That's when I expanded my love for music and worked my way through college DJ’ing and doing voiceover. At Cal State I earned a B.A. in Film & Audio Production, and I then went on to become a certified Audio Engineer. When it comes to DJing for private events/venues like club rentals, weddings, corporate parties etc, I love my clients, and thrive on making meaningful connections.

We had the pleasure of having Cello Joe handle the music for our wedding at Hans Fahden Winery in 2019, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Joe asked for, and listened to, our requests in advance, making our day extra special. He played the cello beautifully during the ceremony, and his original music set a wonderful backdrop for the cocktail hour. But Joe didn't stop there; he also did an excellent job MCing and DJing with a personalized playlist for the reception. His versatility and talent truly shone through, keeping the energy high and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We're so grateful for the incredible job he did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented musician and entertainer for their wedding.
