I am a wedding and event planner and have worked with Jackie Gage on multiple occasions. As a planner, there are a few things we always look for in the event professionals we work with: ease of communication, kindness, team players, easy to work with, excel and are passionate about their craft. Jackie checks off all these boxes and much more! Jackie is always warm and welcoming in her communications, it was so easy to plan together. On event days, Jackie is communicative and works seamlessly with our team with the common goal of making sure the day runs smoothly. And her singing music is amazing! Whether it's for ceremony, cocktail hour, or ambient dinner music, it's a total VIBE. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie to all of our future couples and clients!

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.

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.

DJ Ashley was extraordinary to work with! She was so professional from the first consultation to the last, and we could tell she is an expert in what she does. Fog City Entertainment was the only business who seemed interested and enthusiastic about our music choices. It finally felt like we were having a conversation about music instead of a stilted correspondence about pricing. We had a lot of very specific music requests for our wedding (unusual first dance choice, very specific versions of processional songs, etc). Ashley was able to create custom remixes/mashups for us and provided them before our wedding so we could rehearse! We screened many DJs and a lot of them had strange personalities and energy that we didn't want to be the voice of our wedding. But Ashley is the total opposite of that! She instantly made us feel comfortable during our initial call, and continued to provide ease and flexibility up to and throughout our wedding. She also has a great platform for organizing your wedding music. She was masterful at managing the music and pace of the wedding, and despite some challenges with weather and setup, she handled it perfectly and worked great with our coordinator. Our guests even commented on her really great voice when making announcements. Her music selections were on point and overall she and her team were great to work with. What more could anyone ask for? Highly, highly recommend. Oh, and who doesn’t love a woman run business in a man's industry?

We had the pleasure of working with Second Song to provide DJ services, a photobooth, mics and cold-floor sparklers for our New Year's Eve wedding! Second Song was so easy to work with from the very beginning! Our DJ Lyn was amazing, worked with our playlist, and helped make our dancefloor unforgettable! He was very patient with us as we made last minute changes to our first dance and playlists. They perfectly mic'd up our ceremony and made everything feel seamless! The cold floor sparklers were such a cool touch! Our guests loved the firework-like experience on NYE! And our photobooth attendant was awesome!
