My Name is Cesar [DJ Czar] – I have been djing for 14+ years. My passion for music started at a young age with a heavy influence from my family. As I grew older, the passion for music translated to learning to play different instruments which lead me to DJing. Almost 15 years later, I’ve been able to help create unforgettable memories on the dance floor for my clients. From birthday parties, weddings, business events, my goal is always the same: to deliver an experience that keeps everyone dancing, smiling, and having fun!

I had the pleasure of experiencing DJ Cezar's incredible talent at my friend's multi-cultural wedding, which blended Korean and Mexican traditions. He masterfully incorporated contemporary hits along with cultural favorites, ensuring the entire crowd stayed energized and engaged. Having attended over 30 weddings in the past few years, I understand the critical role a DJ plays in setting the vibe and keeping the dance floor alive. Hiring DJ Cezar for my own wedding was an easy decision, and he exceeded all expectations. Our guest list spanned various age groups and backgrounds, with attendees traveling from Michigan, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, speaking both Spanish and English. DJ Cezar seamlessly catered to everyone, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere from dinner through the last dance. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high made our special day unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Cezar to anyone looking for a DJ who can effortlessly blend diverse music styles and keep guests entertained all night long.

This review is long overdue! As a DJ myself, I was very particular in who I wanted hire for our wedding, and Dennis checked all the boxes with his Instagram DJ reels and our first meeting. Dennis is very professional, detailed, and easy to work with. From ceremony until the end, he executed the timeline perfectly. He worked well with our violinist and MC, and got the party hyped up all night with our playlist. He can provide simple edits to producing custom remixes if needed. He specializes in Hip Hop and R&B, but can adapt to any music genre. Our guests even wanted him to DJ at our after party, and that just shows how amazing Dennis was for our wedding. -Kim and Brian 11.22.24

My husband and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary in October and hired ‘DJ Notorious VIC’. We were so pleased with Vic. We had met with him before the event and discussed the type of music we wanted played. Vic exceded our expectations! He is kind hearted and professional. He arrived early to set up. We had a “Havana Nights” themed party. The music he played during cocktail hour was just perfect, it set the mood. He has an excellent music selection.We had a guest count of 250.

Roger & Katie were such a pleasure to work with during my wedding planning. I had 3 other DJs either ghost me or cancel on me and Faultline saved the day. My one request was to keep my guests entertained by keeping them dancing all night long. Roger far exceeded my expectations and I have had so many of my guests ask about our DJ. I see the other DJs cancelling on me as a blessing in disguise, because Faultline absolutely killed it at our wedding. Thank you, Faultine times a million!!!

We are so glad we used Second Song for our wedding! The whole process was super easy and whenever we had a question or wanted to update something (like add more uplights, which was a great addition btw) we always got a prompt and helpful reply. And our DJ Rob Goodmonson! We cannot thank him enough for the amazing work he did at our wedding! We loved his energy and all of his questions that he had for us during our phone call consultation. I in particular am very grateful that he was so willing to help me with a special song request which required mixing bits from two songs together for my Father-Daughter dance. He was more than up for the challenge and was so helpful with it! When it came to the actual wedding, he was so kind when introducing himself on our wedding day and did a beautiful job MCing. We wanted more minimal MC work and he nailed it perfectly! He was also super flexible with last minute announcement requests that we had. For example, we realized no one was noticing the anniversary cards we put out for signing at the dinner tables, so we asked him to make a little announcement about it and he did great doing that on the spot! Finally, the music all night was absolutely fantastic. He really listened to what we wanted and he delivered! The music felt very much like “us” and we had so much fun dancing all night long. Everyone kept talking about how great he was and several people said it was the best wedding music they have ever heard. If we ever need a DJ again, without a doubt, we will be hiring DJ Rob!

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!

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT. He played banger after banger making it impossible for myself and guests to leave the dance floor. He even included clips from some of the speeches that were given earlier in the evening. INCREDIBLE! I've had several people since, ask for his contact information to play future events! If you're looking for someone to keep the dance party flowing- call Conner! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!
