We got married on 10/08/2023 and booked Joey for both live entertainment and DJ. We selected him because he's a beatboxing cellist/DJ which we thought was totally awesome, and he did not disappoint. He was incredible and so much fun to work with! Our vision was pretty quirky; our venue was a funky brewery in an old airplane hangar, our attire was Art Deco-style, we didn't want any tradition "wedding" music, and had a tasteful ode to Batman incorporated into our theme. Joey took our vision and ran with it. He had so many creative ideas and input throughout the whole planning process. Beginning with the ceremony, he played cello versions of non-traditional 80s, pop, and rock songs, which were beautifully interpreted and set the perfect mood for the perfect moment. During "Beer Hour", he shifted to playing the cello while beatboxing and singing to more non-traditional songs. I have to say we were not expecting him to sing, but were pleasantly surprised by his beautiful voice! We and our guests were thoroughly impressed by his talent and charisma. When we transitioned to the reception, Joey switched gears to DJ/MC mode. He and his wife who was assisting him were seriously the life of the party. We requested that our grand entrance song be the Batman Forever theme song, and he came up with a minute-long "movie trailer" intro for us. It was epic and hilarious, and the perfect way to set the tone for the entire evening. Throughout the night, he played both songs we requested as well as other songs that fit our vibe perfectly. We were on the dance floor all night (other than when my husband left when the Niners game started haha). He and his wife were also rocking out with us at the DJ booth. It's easy to see that Joey loves what he does. His passion for music and creativity shines, and we can't thank him enough for making our wedding day "the most fun wedding we've ever been to" according to every single one of our guests. It was the most amazing wedding ever and the best day of our lives. Thank you Joey!!!

Mark Addington Events

Mountain House, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Carmel Valley, CA

I’m Mark Addington, owner, founder, emcee, DJ, public speaker, and most importantly…creative at heart. I started my DJ career over 20 years ago for fun and fell in love with it along the way. My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process. I’m here to communicate and plan pre-wedding so you and your guests can leave it all on the dancefloor the day of the wedding.

Mark was the absolute BEST DJ. From the moment we chose him, up until the last second of the wedding night he was ON IT! He is very organized, personable, and outgoing which are all the qualities you want in a wedding DJ. We had a venue with the bar in a different room, so that is hard to keep people dancing ... but Mark worked his magic and had people in the dance floor all night! Not only did we love him, our guests couldn't say enough wonderful things about him!

There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. 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!

We were SO happy we chose Second Song to be part of our wedding day! The communication throughout the entire process was incredibly seamless, and their online planning portal kept everything streamlined and organized. Henry was our DJ and delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We also had a live sax player which was worth every penny! We were always on the fence about hiring a band or a DJ, but the DJ live combo was the perfect blend. The saxophonist was exceptionally talented and brought so much energy to the dance floor!

Ceremony DJs

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,999
  • Serves Carmel Valley, CA

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.

I will say without shame that my husband and I are a little snobby about music. Early in the planning process when we discussed what we wanted to hear at our wedding we agreed that we didn't want a "wedding DJ" at all...we wanted a good DJ who would just happen to be playing at our wedding. (No offense to Earth, Wind, & Fire, but if we never heard "September" ever again, it would suit us just fine.) With this as our North Star, we started looking and were mostly disappointed in the selection, until we found Ceremony DJs. I admit that I first reached out to Ceremony because I noticed they used a New Order album cover as their cover photo, and I assumed from this that they'd be cool. Well, I was right. From the moment my husband and I first spoke with Jamie Guzzi, we knew we were being understood and that our music was in good hands. Although his company is based in San Francisco, Jamie has connections in cities all up and down the West Coast and are expanding Eastward. Jamie hooked us up with an LA-local DJ, Aaron Castle, and we had an hours-long conversation about the music that shaped us, the artists we love the most, and what we definitely, not under any circumstances, did not want to hear. It was like having drinks with new friends and by the end, we were convinced we'd made exactly the right choice. On the day of the event, Aaron ran sound at the ceremony, set the vibe at the cocktail hour, and kept the dance floor packed at the reception. All night people were coming up to my husband and I to rave about the musical selections. My husband and I could not be happier with this vendor and we would recommend them to anyone. If you care about music, hire Ceremony DJs.

WOW, we cannot thank The Golden Bell team enough for our beautiful wedding!!! Truly, when we began wedding planning - our #1 priority was having an epic party and music, which is why we hired Golden Bell. We were SO excited for our big day and knew Marlon Aldana and team would execute flawlessly -- But Marlon and Sebastian really knocked it out of the park and exceeded our expectations! Our dance floor was going all night and so many of our guests and vendors were in awe of Marlon and Sebastian!!! We will be singing Golden Bell's praises forever! But really, Marlon and the Golden Bell team were truly the best vendor we could have asked for.

DJ P was a great choice to make our wedding reception unforgettable. From the moment we started working with him, we realized it was a partnership as we crafted the music for the night. He was willing and more than able to roll with things as plans changed. The one issue we had is that, partially due to the time constraints of our venue, some of our requested music was cut short or not played at all while other songs continued on for very long. Overall, DJ P did a phenomenal job!

DJ Keith was our first and only choice for our DJ and he still exceeded our expectations. He was the DJ for my sister's wedding and when I had to book a DJ I knew exactly who we wanted. Keith's mixing skills are unmatched and he knows how to get people up onto the dance floor and keep the party going! We had friends stay on the dance floor nearly the entire night and saw guests dancing that we never thought we would see cutting a rug! Keith also handled the sound system for our ceremony and the toasts, which all occurred without any issues. He even went above and beyond helping us put our photo slideshow together when we couldn't figure it out on our end and displayed it for us throughout our reception. He was professional, knowledgeable, and so easy going yet enthusiastic for the music and vibe that we wanted for our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, you can stop looking and book Keith now!

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Aysha as colleagues, and over the years I've worked with her, she has been one of the most capable, meticulous, reliable people I've ever met. When I asked her to play at my ceremony, she brought a whole new level of professionalism to the table. Her incredible wealth of knowledge from all her professional experiences over the years was very apparent, and she was so easy to work with. She guided us through the whole process -- including preparing a setlist for us to vet, figuring out the appropriate schedule / layout / dress code, learning two brand-new pieces (which she transcribed for harp herself after I gave her the original non-harp recordings), and more. Her professionalism extends to her playing, which is only matched by her world-class skill at the harp. For example, unrehearsed things were bound to happen, and she handled them all impeccably. Her harp music was the absolute perfect, elegant, beautiful -- and as an added bonus, stress-free! -- touch to our ceremony, and if I could do it all again, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tyler is one of those people that you interact with one time, and it becomes apparent within minutes that he is someone you’d want to hang out and be friends with after your event. The interesting thing about Tyler is his ability to fill a space with his humble, kind and charismatic personality, and he just becomes the embodiment of the musical atmosphere he creates. It felt almost as if his presence wasn’t real. You can certainly feel his energy of happiness while he is jamming in a crowd of people on the sax, and those vibes go out to everyone lucky enough to be in those moments. There’s not much else to say other than he made our wedding truly special, one that my wife and I will hold near and dear to our hearts for the rest of our lives. We are convinced at this point that Tyler is a wizard because nearly a month after our wedding our friends and family are still talking about how incredible he is. You put a spell on us and our peeps. Thank you, Tyler, for all you do, and we look forward to booking our next milestone event with you!

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.

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

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!

Always love working with Austin at LoudSound entertainment, working with him is always an easy day. Austin is always making guest and couples feel welcome, he keeps the party going and guests hyped through the whole night. From cocktail hour - grand entrances - end the night Austin is always on top of things. Sometimes working with other DJ's their mics cut out during the ceremony or speeches and is really distracting. But I've never had audio cut out or have issues with LoudSound they have high quality gear to limit distractions and give a higher quality experience. Make sure to ask about their dance floors too they are stunning!!

My husband and I absolutely love Cage and Aquarium! We utilized them for both photography and DJ services on wedding day. As for our photographers, they were incredible in their photography skills but also in supporting us on wedding day. They helped make the day run smoothly and were efficient in coordinating things such as taking large family photos and enduring our travels around the city between the ceremony and reception. As for our DJ, he was also amazing. He kept the reception running smoothly and was so personable and professional. I couldn't have been more impressed with the music selection our DJ chose -- so many of our guests said that we had the most amount of people dancing at a wedding that they'd seen. I can't recommend C&A enough.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
