My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process.

Mark was an amazing DJ and EMCEE for our wedding! He did a great job with the ceremony, reception, and leading the shoe game! Mark does a great job of reading the room and getting multi-generation crowds dancing together. He was also such a breeze to work with during the planning process and had lots of good recommendations. We highly recommend him!

We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!

Full custom theme weddings from San Francisco's leading indie DJs. Share your love of music with family and friends. We're here to help you make your wedding sound like the mixtape you exchanged when you first met.

We were married in Sonoma this year. I consulted with Ceremony DJs, and they took an incredibly thoughtful approach. They took my inspiration, and crafted a vinyl DJ set that completely blew away our expectations. They were very receptive to our requests around announcements or lack thereof. Our tastes and requests were pretty eclectic, ranging from disco to dreampop to Bossa Nova to reggae and beyond, and Benji incorporated it all in an incredibly cohesive set. The entire evening folks from teens to grandparents were tearing it up on the dancefloor, and it stayed popping all night! We've been getting compliments on the music for weeks since the wedding. Seriously, book Ceremony DJs, they are the best in the business.

I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty! We had Funk Almighty play at our wedding and they were easily the highlight of the night. The energy, song selection, and sheer talent were unbelievable! Daryl, the band manager, is highly communicative and helped tailor music for every aspect of our day; we had an acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for cocktail hour, and their 10-person band for the reception. We also used Funk Almighty's MC service for the evening and Jared did a fantastic job ensuring the events stayed on schedule. What sets Funk Almighty apart from other bands is their energy, they had everyone on the dance floor!

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

A month or two before the wedding, we went through all of the specifics and the vibe we were looking to achieve and he nailed it at the wedding!

All I can say is..... WOW!!!!!!!! Tyler truly made our wedding day. I know people came to see us get married, but they didn't realize they were coming for a show and a dance party. Tyler frickin rocked it the whole day!! From the keyboard before the ceremony, to you and our family friend singing making me hysterically cry down the aisle, to rocking it at cocktail hour (and remembering the songs we really wanted to hear), to perfecting mcing, to your At Last suggestion on the dance floor, to CRUSHING IT ALL NIGHT ON THE DANCE FLOOR. I have never had more fun or felt more alive. We knew Tyler would be great, but he exceeded all expectations. Tyler truly made our wedding perfect. You have no idea how many people loved you. My friend's husband, who I have never seen dance at a wedding (not even his own) was on the dance floor ALL night. Also I am so happy we went with the lights and light wands. It truly made it an epic dance party. The curation of the playlist was perfect and the mix of songs all night was great for everyone.

I was having trouble finding the right 3 piece band for my son's engagement party. I only had a small amount of space for the band but I wanted the sound of a larger band. Bingo, Modern Highway. Christina could not have been easier to work with, very professional and timely. They sang a lot of new music and entertained the whole crowd. She was the best female vocalist I could find and was just as good in person. Christina, can not thank you enough!!

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 that boasts a ten-deep crew of highly-skilled DJs and musicians. Don’t settle for anything less than a DJ who can wow audiences with perfect blends, mashups and song selections. Talent matters, and All Ears DJs have shown up & showed out at more than 1000 weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area during the past decade.

Richard was great. He was a Preferred Vendor for Saratoga Springs. He had a form that we filled out about a week ahead with music selections and do not plays. It was very thorough. He responded quickly when we reached out to him with questions. The music selection was mostly on me because my husband generally listens to instrumental. I listen to a wide variety of music, so I left it pretty open ended, which I was a little nervous about, but Richard pulled it all together. An eclectic mix, yet cohesive. We had a much smaller turn out than we were expecting and even more dropped out last minute, my guess is because of the weather. It was an outdoor venue and was rainy and cold all day, but managed to burn out by the time the party started. Only raining briefly after dinner (we had umbrellas for everyone). The music selection was great and everyone rallied and had a good time. The last song was All You Need Is Love and a kick line formed with the remaining friends and family. It was ridiculously amusing. 10/10 would recommend Richard to anyone. I spent a good amount of time listening to his mixes on Mixcloud and have really enjoyed them.

Love Tempo by DJ Ceviche

Los Angeles, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,499
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA for additional fees

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.

We’ve all heard horror stories about the DJ ruining the wedding with bad song choices, inability to emcee, and poor timing, leading to a disjointed event. However, Tiger is the antithesis of this nightmare. He's a master of his craft, blending musical expertise with exceptional emceeing skills. From our first meeting, Tiger demonstrated a deep understanding of our musical taste and the wedding's flow. He curated a playlist that was not only reflective of us as a couple but also resonated with our guests of all ages. Tiger's skill in reading the room was unparalleled. He knew exactly when to ramp up the energy or tone it down, ensuring the dance floor was never empty. His transitions between songs were seamless, and his ability to mix different genres was remarkable. He also had a keen sense of timing, perfectly aligning songs with key moments of our wedding, like the first dance and cake cutting. What set Tiger apart was his emceeing. He wasn't just a DJ playing songs; he was a central figure in moving our wedding along. His announcements were clear, concise, and always delivered with an appropriate tone, whether it was excitement, humor, or sentimentality. Tiger's professionalism was evident throughout. He arrived early, set up his high-quality equipment without fuss, and coordinated well with other vendors. He was also incredibly accommodating, adjusting to last-minute changes with ease and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Tiger is a phenomenal DJ who played a pivotal role in making our day memorable. He's a talented artist with a knack for understanding his audience, an expert emcee, and a consummate professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend him to any couple looking for the perfect musical backdrop for their wedding.

Taj was our DJ for our big day and I can’t thank him enough for his skills at mastering the perfect blend of music to cater to everyone of every age group in the crowd. How he managed to do it all and still keep things fun, hype, clean and respectful at the same time is amazing, especially this day and age where most DJs will compromise the clean edited things, he found a way to do it all and we so appreciated that. Our family and friends never wanted to stop dancing, we literally had to shut it down or the night would’ve never ended. If you’re looking for the best for your big day, don’t even think twice, just book him. Thanks so much again Taj!

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!

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

He was very organized and provided suggestions and templates to make sure everyone was clear on what songs should be played at which moments (first dance, cake cutting, entrances, etc.). He did a great job of incorporating songs we / our parents had requested and did a great job of balancing between newer music and songs that got our parent's friends on the dance floor too! He also made sure to find us at the end of our Sangeet and asked if we were happy with the music / if there was anything he could improve on before the wedding the next day - he did great but really appreciated that he did this to make sure we were happy!

DJ Demchuk (Daniel) did an absolutely amazing job during our wedding! The dance floor was bumping all night and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was, including from our older guests. Both the CA team and Daniel himself were super professional, kind, and communicative to work with throughout the planning process and during the night itself. We asked for some edits to our first dance song and Daniel made it happen flawlessly. He also sent us a full track list from the wedding within a few days so we can relive the party over and over. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and would recommend this DJ to anyone looking!
