We are so happy we decided to work with Golden Bell for our wedding day music!

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

3STYLEDJS 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Escondido, CA

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.

Conner and Chris are the epitome of what a seamless execution looks and sounds like! These two are phenomenal to work with, during the entire wedding process, Conner was extremely proficient and thorough in asking what my now wife and I wanted, he started off by asking what kind of vibe we wanted and man did him and Chris execute it! Conner was a great MC, strong, chill and knew exactly when to chime in. The DJing was seamless, transitions perfect, music choice top notch, after the wedding we got so many compliments on the music and still do to this day. Conner filled in moments that got the older generation grooving and knew when to throw down a good beat. Chris, the Sax Player and long time friend, talk about bringing the vibe! These two working in tandem was honestly one of my wife and I's genuine highlights of our big day. Chris is a fire musician and when he got rippin on the sax, people would come out of the woodworks to get down on the dance floor. He definitely delivered on the live music vibes and could play jazzy and classy and knew when to bring up the heat. 10/10! To sum it all up, the music element was extremely important to my wife and I and we couldn't recommend these two any more. Both of them are fun, professional, a pleasure to work with, efficient and just great vibes. My wife and I definitely will be hiring them again for the next big event because they know how to have a great time and know exactly how to make it happen. Thanks Conner and Chris!!

Jimmy did an outstanding job representing the musical vibe that we were looking for at our wedding. He was super professional from the beginning, outlining exactly how he works, what equipment he has and also provided a lot of playlists to get started with. In the end I created several playlists with the type of music we wanted for each part of the day that was different and he was able to create a beautiful mood and hyped up party vibe. For the dance party he really impressed with mash ups of old and new bringing everyone to the dance floor. Jimmy was truly able to customize his sets to my taste very easily and make it feel authentic to our style and not just any typical wedding. I would highly, highly recommend GE Productions for any DJ needs.

Brian Pierini, Saxophone was the best decision we ever made for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone kept telling us that the saxophone player was so good! Like literally everyone we talked to would say nothing but good things about his playing. We had guests come over from the Philippines and he played a few Filipino songs during cocktail hour, which we really appreciated because it made our guests from the Philippines feel more welcome and acknowledged. Brian's communication style was fast, reliable, easy, and collaborative, and the quality of his work and value was the best out there - it was worth every penny! Thanks again, Brian, for making our wedding so dreamy!

He's done cocktail hour (piano & singing) as well as playing throughout dinner... its unreal how talented he is. REALLY COOL - I've seen him do live renditions of whatever the couple chooses for their first dance and/or parent dances and he even has the ability to change a few words to make them unique or more applicable to the couple's love story. Can't reccomend this guy enough!

You will typically catch DJ Tigerlily mixing between hiphop, pop, rock, house, electro, funk, disco, and latin tracks, old school to the new. No two playlists are ever the same with this DJ as she thoughtfully prepares for each event based off her client's musical tastes and later builds off the crowd's reaction.

Lily DJ-ed at our wedding in May 2024, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was friendly, responsive, organized, and clearly had a lot of valuable experience in the industry. She did an amazing job using our playlist as inspiration to keep everyone on the dance floor. She read the dance floor really well, making adjustments quickly to maintain the right energy. The vibes were great (all thanks to her!!), and many of our guests made it a point to let us know she did a great job. A friend even said DJ Tiger Lily was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding, which was a high compliment! We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!

We loved working with Gary throughout the planning process and he was professional, friendly, down-to-earth and honest. We met with him in person and communicated via email and text. He was always quick to respond and thorough in his responses. We also loved working with Gary and his band on the day of our wedding. We decided to skip our sendoff just so we could keep dancing! 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 was smooth and professional, and the music was so amazingly perfect for us throughout the reception and into the dance party.

Kevin has been able to play for us on multiple occasions and each time he has knocked it out of the park, he played "Perfect - Ed Sheeran" when we got married at the San Diego Courthouse as a surprise for us. It was a fantastic performance and completely unexpected. He did a great job setting up and "hiding" away until it was the right time to come out. Then for our reception, Kevin played "Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis" while the bride walked down the aisle and nailed it! He is extremely professional and worked with us to make sure that his performance matched our vision. He also played during cocktail hour and did a great job with our guests and playing amazing music!

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

Ohh friends, look no further! Preston and his company is nothing but the best! He's prepared, punctual, dresses for the job (this one matters to me!), and is the personality you want on your big day! Despite his clear talents, he is a top notch human being. I've loved that he doesn't like to takeover. He does an incredible job, but it's always very clear it's the couples party, not his. You don't want to say, "I wish we booked him", just do it! :) You won't regret it!

We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context). We agree! Beyond their musical talent, The Mighty Untouchables were so kind to my husband and I on our big day, along with all of our guests. I am so thankful we got to work together.
