Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
We reached out to Sutherland Entertainment for our May wedding at the Berkeley City Club, and knew as soon as we spoke to Spencer that we would be moving forward with his company. Spencer was incredibly insightful, experienced, and innovative in ways that challenge standard DJ services. He offered everything from full service music and audio with club-style transitions, to station and bistro lighting, and ensured that his equipment was elegant and well suited to the venue. His style incorporated both our personal music selections, crowd pleasers, and was able to adjust to the crowd. From the time our dance floor opened to the time it closed, it was never empty. Every compliment were received the morning after the wedding included some mention of how great the DJ was, and how our Tuesday night wedding had such incredible energy. Spencer had our wedding guests doing the worm, the splits, dropping it low, and singing like no one was listening. Thank you, Spencer, for making our special day incredibly memorable and a true party!

I recently had the pleasure of booking Cello Joe to perform at my wedding and what a special experience it was!!! Joey is a true professional on all levels! From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11. It was an honor to have such a talented musician perform and such a fun character to hang out with the rest of the event. Cello Joe's set was the musical highlight of our wedding.

Taj was our DJ for our big day and I can’t thank him enough for his skills at mastering the perfect blend of music to cater to everyone of every age group in the crowd. How he managed to do it all and still keep things fun, hype, clean and respectful at the same time is amazing, especially this day and age where most DJs will compromise the clean edited things, he found a way to do it all and we so appreciated that. Our family and friends never wanted to stop dancing, we literally had to shut it down or the night would’ve never ended. If you’re looking for the best for your big day, don’t even think twice, just book him. Thanks so much again Taj!

We are an elite team of professional event planners, audio/visual technicians, chefs, and DJs who share Zhaldee’s passion for food, music, and community. You can trust our 25+ years of experience to help you create exciting, vibrant events and memories!

Where do I begin?!? DJ Zhaldee is not only one of the most AMAZING humans I’ve ever met, he’s also talented AF! He’s professional, reliable and goes out of his way to make everyone’s experience that much more lively and fun! My husband and I got married in the Spring and it took me this long to write a review because I’ve been absolutely lost for words. Through all the crazy BS we had to deal with at the restaurant on our wedding night, Z was 1000% present. From smooth transitions, quirky and sentimental announcements to impromptu dance battles, Zhaldee is the life of any party. He kept eye contact and consistently checked in on us to make sure we were good and staying present. His vibes literally calmed me down so that I can actually enjoy our special day. The icing to our cake was the dance party. The biggest complaint I got from our guests were that their feet hurt from dancing all night! Even my mother in-law said every time she tried to sit down, the DJ was playin’ another hit. Every single guest complimented us on having such a dope DJ and we would recommend Zhaldee for any event! I’m looking forward to working with him on some more events at his new venue! Y’all should go check him out!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve been to many weddings and live music absolutely elevates the wedding compared to using a dj. But even amongst live bands, Garuda Blue is just top of the top composed of jazz musicians who all have their own flair and soul to their music. Their music is original and never the same and having them play at our wedding may have been the single best choice. From cocktail hours to dancing, the live instruments and absolutely stunning vocalist makes you really feel like you are at somewhere special. They’re also absolutely professional and kind and personable. I can’t say enough good things about them. Yes if you get a dj it’s cheaper, but you will miss out on a magical night filled with real music and what is life without real music. Don’t hesitate to think if it’s worth it or not because real great live music can transform an ordinary event to a magical one.

My wife and I went in search of an incredible wedding band and we found it with Ruby Wedding and Party Band. The whole team, from the lead singers to the sound and light techs, was amazing to work with. Every step of the way they were courteous, on top of the details, and available to hop on a Zoom or respond to an email with our venue and our wedding planner. They took it upon themselves to make sure power and sound were all taken care of *and* they even tried to make sure we had tenting for the outdoor wedding (it wasn't even their job) just to take a load off of our plate. I'd hire this band again and again, and, if they'll do it for our 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary. Thanks!

The Celebration DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Port Costa, CA

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Brandon Bosch from The Celebration DJ at our wedding. His meticulous preparation and professionalism before the event ensured everything ran smoothly. Brandon's ability to keep us on schedule was invaluable, and his flexibility allowed us to effortlessly include an additional speaker during the speeches. The bundle package he provided was fantastic and truly enhanced our venue. The photobooth was a massive hit with our guests, and the sound quality of his equipment was flawless. Brandon's exceptional service made our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend him for any special occasion!

The band offers flexibility in size and instrumentals, adapting to your specific vision and style and can provide live music for the entirety of your wedding, ensuring every moment is perfectly complimented.

Hella Fitzgerald, led by the amazing Lilan Kane, did a fabulous job at my son’s wedding. From the clear and timely communication with Lilan herself (no third party manager) over the months leading up to the big day about our budget and hopes and dreams, to the actual wedding day, it could not have been more perfect! The highlights were the epic brass band that led the 200 guests from the outdoor wedding ceremony to the reception, the mother-son dance (perhaps not the dancing skills but definitely the beautiful rendition of “What the World Needs Now (Is Love)” by Lilan and her band), and the song set with the glorious horns that kept the dance floor hopping (with everyone from the youngest guest to grandma) all night long! It went by too fast, but the memories will last forever! We could not have been more pleased! I could not recommend Hella Fitzgerald more!

David was a preferred vendor for our venue. After reading all the amazing reviews and our initial contact, we booked David for his DJ and Photobooth rental services (which also included a monogram projection to add a little special touch!). David provides reasonable packages and is very professional. As wedding planning could be really stressful, we naturally had many questions for David during the initial interview. His communication stood out to us because he answered all of our questions patiently and made sure to reach out and jot down all the small details that are often overlooked. In preparation to our wedding, David made sure to highlight and communicate what works well and what doesn't in his experience, which was greatly appreciated. During our planning session, we communicated to David our concerns about having a dryer/slower dance floor as well as loud noise levels. David was very encouraging and understanding. On wedding day, David and his wife (who attended the Photobooth) made sure everything ran smoothly. David consistently checked in with us as well. We appreciated that he heard our concerns and catered towards us. At the end of the night, our guests wanted to kept the party going because David knew how to engage them and our guests had fun (which is what we hoped for!). One last item to add, the Photobooth quality was awesome. All the pictures were printed quick and in high resolution. The lighting was great as well. We were able to get the link to all of our photos within a couple days. I highly recommend David and will keep him in mind for future events!
