Our experience with DJ Ukeim could not have been any better! He was professional and attentive to our needs and special requests. We have a diverse taste in music and DJ Ukeim was able to get it all in. He helped guide us through the different ambiances for the cocktail hour and into the dinner and dancing portion. He was on point working with our wedding coordinator to keep us on schedule throughout the entire reception. His flexibility and easy going vibe matched our style. When it was time to get people out on the dance floor he knew exactly what to do. It was obvious he knew how to read the vibe of our guests. He kept the party going till the last song. We had such a great time!! Thank you DJ Ukeim for making our night so special!! We will always remember how much fun everyone had. Special shoutout to Will and Dancing DJ Production. You made the booking process so easy we loved how organized and helpful the planning portal was. - Gabriel and Felicia

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!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300

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.

DJ Preston Foreman

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700

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.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

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!

Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin… I received so many compliments from my guests saying how much they looooved listening and seeing Durell perform on our wedding day. Durell is so easy to work with and communicate with! There was a lot of back and forth of music playing between him and my DJ and Durell never complained once and collaborated so well with my DJ. However, the best part was we wanted to do a mash up of 2 songs my husband and I love as our First Dance and Durell created one for us! It was sooo great! It made our First Dance that much more magical and memorable. He accommodated all of my wishes and he was truly the highlight of our wedding! We had Durell perform my husband’s processional song (which Durell learned a new song for!!! How awesome is that!?), our cocktail hour, our first dance and continue performing music during the first half of our dinner. Please hire Durell for any Wedding (or any other) event!! You will not be disappointed !!! Thank you again so so much Durell! You are such an amazing artist, performer and person!
