DJ Czar Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA
  • Offer

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.

Working with Desert Vibe Events was an amazing blessing! My husband and I were engaged for about 16 months and are both type A planners, but knew we wanted some assistance as we got closer to our wedding date so we could consider any missing details. Bianca and Claudia offered great support in the 90 days leading up to our wedding, and their set up team did a phenomenal job bringing our vision to life. Our family and guests were in awe of their work, and they were amazing at allowing my husband and I to enjoy our wedding day as guests of honor, rather than hosts. The biggest thank you to Bianca, Claudia and Alicia for making our day so special!

Notorious V.I.C. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Music has always been an important part of my life. With over 12 years of experience in the wedding industry, I fell in love with music at a young age, and being a wedding DJ has allowed me to share my passion with my clients on the most important day of their lives. DJing started out as a hobby; I wanted to do more than just listen to music, so I learned creative ways to blend my favorite songs together from different artists and genres to form an experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Vic did a fantastic job! Vic was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire planning process of the wedding. He provided us with a detailed shared sheet to fill out which not only helped us communicate easily with him but also helped us figure out what needed to be done on the music end. During the wedding, everyone was dancing and the music was perfect. All of the songs we had requested beforehand were played, he played songs suggested by guests, and it was a great time. We definitely would recommend Vic to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

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!

It was such a pleasure working with Seth and his team. Emmett (our DJ) was incredible!! So many of our guests have reached out to express compliments and how impressed they were with Emmett's work. Music was really high on our list of priorities for our wedding and, honestly, we couldn't be happier. Personally, I wanted to make sure the music felt like more than just a playlist running and Emmett's mixing did just that. My husband and I were having some trouble with pinpointing exact songs we wanted played so we talked to Emmett about a certain vibe we wanted and artists we liked. He worked with that and perfected the whole evening, from the pre-ceremony music through the reception. Seth was so incredibly organized and helpful leading up to the event which we were so grateful for. Having a vendor that we could trust was priceless!! They also invited us to an app where we could answer questions and add music to that was really helpful. I'd honestly recommend Vital Event Group to anyone!!

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.

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.

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. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!
