Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional, getting everyone excited and joyful. They were also great communicators and wonderful to work with, offering helpful ideas and accommodating all our requests. If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Modern Highway. Highly recommended!

Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat was awesome to work. The app he had us use to add music to so he could get a feel for what we like was very easy to use. He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. Their intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and they kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that. Our guests had a great time taking pictures and you get both physical and digital copies and we had so much fun looking through everyone’s photos after the wedding. Highly recommend!

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

San Diego born and raised DJ! When I first started DJing with my Dad, the things most important to us were music and customer experience. To this day, as I continue to plan and MC events, music, and customer service continue to be a cornerstone of my business. Throughout this past year, I spent a lot of my time speaking with families, friends, past and future clients, vendors, and business professionals. I learned that it’s best to be proactive rather than reactive. I dedicate myself to help in any way I can! We are devoted to providing great service in the industry!

The Metric System Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was professional, thorough, and knowledgeable, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, their execution was seamless and exciting - they kept the dance floor packed all night long with a playlist that perfectly read the crowd.

I honestly can't say enough good things. Do yourself a favor and book these guys for your event! Gary acted as our emcee and DJ, plus bandleader for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline.

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.

Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

Seth was incredible. He was so on top of things, understood the vibe we wanted at every point and absolutely crushed it. Multiple guests came up to me just to specifically tell me "Your DJ is amazing." From our first meeting (before we had even officially hired him) to the last dance, Seth was so easy to work with and absolutely delivered on the kind of dancefloor we wanted. We wanted someone who understood what we did and didn't want and who would keep people dancing -- nothing depresses me more than when a DJ plays the "wrong" song and the dancefloor empties out but the DJ doesn't read the room and adjust. We never had that, and we never had one "wrong" song. Seth is so good at reading the dancefloor and keeping the party going. And I know other reviewers have mentioned it, but his app is great and made the process of picking key songs and favorites and "DO NOT PLAY" songs so streamlined. We can't recommend Seth highly enough!

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.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared.

We highly recommend Tony for any event. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he knows how to keep the party going.

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. 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! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

Stephanie - Harpist 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Stephanie began her musical journey when she started learning the piano at age 5. Three years later, she started taking harp lessons after her dad suggested she learn the instrument. In high school, her teacher encouraged her to think of becoming a professional harpist. Stephanie received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Harp Performance at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB. Now as a professional harpist, she spends her time teaching harp and piano at her private studio, and playing for weddings, funerals, and other private events, and in orchestras and bands throughout SoCal.

I have been booking Stephanie for our clients for almost a decade now. She is very professional. Always on time, and able to accommodate clients' requests. Stephanie is very passionate about her music career. She is very easy to work with because she is organized and pays attention to every client in great detail. I highly recommend Stephanie and will continue to work with her as long as we are in the music industry.
