Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!

Rob and our DJ Jordan B were so great to work with and were one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! The booking process was easy, and communication was fantastic. Any questions, requests, or info I needed was answered and addressed so quickly and efficiently, and it really makes the entire wedding planning process just that much easier. All our favorite songs playing throughout our wedding at key moments like our ceremony, reception, and first dance made the event feel so dreamy and cinematic, and I can’t thank Rob and Jordan enough for making our event so memorable. We also booked our photo booth (Feature Booth) through them, and it was the same amazing communication and day of execution. As a graphic designer, I wanted to customize the text around the photo to give it a little bit of a special touch, and they were able to accommodate this and send me a digital preview as well. They definitely know what they’re doing at Second Song and definitely a team I would recommend to couples for their upcoming weddings!

Can I give more than 5 stars?! Seth, by far, was the best decision we made with our wedding planning. We were really picky about our DJ/Emcee. My husband and I love to dance and having the perfect atmosphere accompanied by music was of utmost importance. Seth exceeded all of our expectations. He has the most amazing setlist that perfectly matches the energy we wanted to portray. He is easy to work with and works directly alongside you to ensure your vision comes to life. Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night - from start to finish. People of all backgrounds and generations had an absolute blast, from our youngest 6-month-old guest to our 97-year-old grandmother. Seth reads the room incredibly well. He knew exactly when to cut a song a little shorter and when to let songs play out. As an emcee, he is articulate and captivating, without being too over the top as you see with some DJs. He saw his role as the facilitator of the evening and that is exactly what he did.  In addition to his DJ services, we booked Seth's photobooth which was a BLAST. The quality of the photos was amazing. At the end of the night, the photobooth attendant noticed that my husband and I never got a photo just me and him in the booth - so he quickly pulled us aside before packing up to make that happen. The whole team truly went above and beyond. We felt so heard, validated, and loved by them in this process. I can say with absolute certainty our wedding day would not have been as amazing as it was without Seth and his team.

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. I am the Resident DJ for Première Los Angeles (premierelosangeles on IG). Let's team up and create memories! 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.

Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 600+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that Dylan and the Moon Units MADE our wedding, I am not exaggerating. They not only delivered, the exceeded our already high expectations in every way possible. Music was extremely important for my husband and me, and we knew immediately that we wanted a live band to elevate the evening. We found Dylan and the Moon Units' information online, and after finding that they were very within our budget we reached out and Dylan invited us to one of their gigs in Hollywood. We loved their vibe and booked them. We asked Dylan to play both our ceremony and our reception, as well as play preset playlists for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. Now, I must admit, because music was so important for my husband and my special day, we had *very* specific ideas for what we wanted. Dylan was extremely communicative, answering all of my extremely needy and detailed emails in a timely manner and doing everything he could to reassure me that we were in good hands. We made selections from the list of songs they knew, and also asked them to learn about 10 new songs for us, ranging from unique arrangements of existing songs to deep cuts from 90's movies. Dylan's communication was warm, expeditious, and professional, and I felt really well taken care of. At our wedding, though, is where they exceeded our expectations. The live music they played was amazing, and set the tone for our wedding in the exact way we were hoping for. At the reception, they kept the energy up with a perfectly curated playlist of our requests (and we had quite a lot!) songs they knew would keep the party going. Their song choices appealed to the older crowd as well as the Millennial crowd. Dylan even help me set up a surprise performance for my husband, where I sang one of this favorite songs ("Go Cubs Go") with the backing of the Moon Units band. It was an incredibly special moment. And creating special moments was what Dylan and the Moon Units did best. Somehow, they managed to keep the dance floor packed the entire evening. Months after our wedding, our guests have continuously called out Dylan and the Moon Units as an absolute highlight of our wedding, saying that it was musically one of the best weddings they have ever been to. All-in-all, I cannot recommend Dylan and the Moon Units enough. As someone who was VERY specific about the music at my wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations. Book them for your wedding ASAP - you will not be disappointed.

I can’t stress the amount of compliments we received about the talent and just overall vibe. They were a major highlight for every single guest. They are a truly talented group of individual artists and performers, who seamlessly come together collectively to put on an amazing show. But more importantly, they could not have been any more lovely as humans. They really made a magical weekend that much more magical, and we cannot say enough positive things. The team worked back and forth on the setlist and specific sound queues throughout the event. We likely weren’t the easiest to work with because of how specific our vision was for those individual moments throughout the run of show and the team really killed it when it was time for the event! I don’t know when we’ll ever host a party like this again, (though we won’t look any further than Dart) but we will certainly shout our referrals from the rooftops if any of our friends, families or coworkers are ever planning an event.

Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein are truly REMARKABLE. We hired them to play the harp and cello at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside and we could not be more pleased. Lily is A DREAM to work with - she is thoughtful, detail-oriented and so talented. All of her email correspondence were well articulated and prepared, the phone conversations we had with her were a delight, she is thorough and always prepared and organized. Lily and Simon provided us with a complementary song list to choose from, filling in the blanks for us along the way, when we needed help, and even created a custom song ("Simply the best") for our Ceremony! We LOVED it. In addition to all of this, we appreciated the small details - Lily went as far as to ask what her and Simon should wear to the event so they could be coordinated to the wedding "look" we were going for. Lily and Simon are truly the best of the best and should be your #1 choice.

I had the pleasure of having Josh from Surreal Soirees as the DJ for our wedding, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. I first crossed paths with Josh while working at a nightclub together, where he spun incredible sets, and I was a photographer capturing the moments. When it came time to choose our wedding DJ, it was a no-brainer to reach out to Josh, and he delivered beyond our expectations. One of the standout qualities about Josh is his unwavering commitment to understanding and accommodating our musical preferences. We had a long list of song requests that ranged from classic hits to more obscure tracks, and he made sure to incorporate all of them seamlessly into the evening's playlist. Josh's ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly ensured that everyone, from the grandparents to the party animals, had a fantastic time on the dance floor. Another aspect of Josh's service that truly impressed us was his professionalism. He arrived at the venue well ahead of schedule, taking care of all the setup and sound checks without any fuss. Throughout the evening, he maintained a polished and courteous demeanor, interacting with our guests and responding to their song requests with enthusiasm. His attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day special was evident from start to finish. Josh and Surreal Soirees brought an exceptional level of energy and expertise to our wedding celebration. Our guests are still raving about the music and how it added to the overall ambiance of the event. We couldn't have asked for a more talented, professional, and accommodating DJ for our special day. In summary, Josh and Surreal Soirees exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who not only listens to your music preferences but also elevates your event with their professionalism and skill, Josh is the one to choose. Thank you, Josh, for making our wedding unforgettable with your incredible music and exceptional service.

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.

Natural born life of the party. Bringing people together to have a good time would be my super power. Not only do I love my job but I love being able to give my wedding couples the wedding experience they dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before choosing Makai, my partner and I watched videos of at least a dozen DJs. Based on the energy and interactions we saw from Makai, we knew he was the one for us and our wedding day. From our first video call with him, we knew we had struck gold. What was meant to be a one hour zoom call turned into three hours of laughing and sharing stories as if we were old friends who had been separated by time. Makai was patient at every step in our process. He came prepared - he provided us a very helpful packet which enabled us to better organize our event. My partner and I did have many of our own ideas, and Makai graciously worked with every single idea of ours. When our ideas were incomplete or needed tweaking, he came up with creative solutions that incorporated our wants and his experience. After getting off our zoom call with Makai, my partner and I shared a big sigh of relief. In months of planning, most things had been stressful, but working with Makai felt almost too easy. We were very well taken care of. On the day of our event, Makai was early. Makai generously helped with things that were not at all his responsibility. Makai was loved by our guest; he contributed to a great vibe. At our request, Makai helped us stay on track for the whole event, and because of that, everything continued smoothly throughout the evening. Every time I looked at Makai, he had a beaming smile on his face. Even while continuing to enjoy the festivities, Makai’s music was on point. Amongst a handful of other vendors who were also awesome, Makai stands out because his contributions to our day were so impactful. I can’t recommend Makai enough.

You know that one place that everybody fears: standing in a spotlight in front of a group of people, holding a microphone in their sweaty palm while looking into the face of an awaiting audience? Public speaking! Well, that scary place is the one place I feel most comfortable. My passion is to charm your audience with the same personality as if it were you standing in front them.

Awarded Best of Zola
David was the EmCee for my wedding and was the real star of the show! (Okay I guess my wife was, but whatever.) He was instrumental in helping us keep the flow of our wedding go off without a hitch. He got a bunch of old white people shaking their booties with 90s dance music and The Spice Girls. (He asked permission for that one ahead of time.) On a serious note, I asked David to make sure I didn’t make a fool of myself at my own wedding and he memorably told me “I’ll wrestle you to the floor if I have to!” David was truly great. I’m so grateful to have him as part of our memories and to have had him running the show on our special day.

I cannot recommend Raymond enough. He’s a master musician, a true professional, and the nicest guy you could ever work with. I hired Raymond to play my beach ceremony and I could not have picked a better musician to play my wife down the aisle. He made the entire process of booking him, picking songs, etc. so easy and stress free. She walked down the aisle to “You Ain’t Going Nowhere” by Bob Dylan and Raymond made his own classical arrangement to the song. We loved it so much that we asked him if he could make a recording of the song for us so we can listen to it for many years to come, and he did! If you’re looking for a musician for your wedding, it doesn’t get any better than this.

My type of party is any party that involves cumbia, merengue, banda, norteno, reggaeton, and hip hop. Growing up in a Mexican household I know what the familia likes and will have the tias dancing no doubt about it or have your tios singing their heart out. I am also crucial in any Mexican American wedding because i can MC in English / Spanish and play hits to get the American side of the family dancing .

DJ Carlos is an absolute delight to work with. His communication style is amazing - they are incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions, and provide clear and detailed information. The music they play at weddings is high-energy and keeps the dance floor packed all night long. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding DJ.
