Spencer was incredibly professional, organized, and created a super fun dance party for our wedding!

Twin Spin Entertainment 

4.8

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Twin Spin Entertainment is a professional full service DJ, Emcee, Video DJ, Audio, Lighting, Video and Event Production company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We've been serving the event and wedding industry for over 25 years, specializing in high end exquisite weddings all across the United States. We have a team of Elite level DJs that each have a minimum of 25 years of experience as a DJ and MC. We specialize in weddings, corporate events and nightclubs. We also offer bilingual MC services in Spanish, Cantonese and Mandarin.

We booked twinspin as our DJ and Photo Booths. DJ 4.5/5 We recently had our wedding and decided to hire Twin Spin Entertainment, which came recommended by our venue. While the owner, Young, was already booked, he introduced us to James, one of his experienced DJs. Our initial meeting with James went smoothly, and we felt confident moving forward with him and Twin Spin. The booking process was straightforward and easily managed through their website's client portal. The client portal also had very thorough questions such as laying out the specific songs for our ceremony, grand entrance, and first dance, etc. The client portal was also how we communicated which songs were on our do-not-play list, ceremony, dinner, and dancing. James arrived early to have everything set up and by the time our ceremony rolled around everything and everyone was ready to go. James did a great job both as an MC and DJ. While there were a couple of minor hiccups with timeline and announcements, he handled them well, keeping the flow of the event smooth. Since we had a lot of our older Asian guests, the dance floor wasn’t always packed, but we appreciated how James kept the energy up and mixed the music to appeal to everyone. The sound quality was great, and there were no major technical issues. All the microphones, speakers, and lights worked perfectly. Overall, we were very happy with Twin Spin and James, and we would definitely recommend them for any wedding or special event! Photo Booth 4.5/5 We knew we wanted to have a photobooth in our August 2024 wedding as it’s always a fun activity having attended previous weddings. Twin Spin offered this option along with their DJ services, and we selected them knowing that it would streamline and alleviate working with multiple vendors. We found their pricing reasonable after comparing other photobooth vendors. On the day of our wedding, the photobooth attendant came early to setup. She wrapped up early and our start and end time was 6-10pm which was a bit early than the original 6:30-10:30pm time. Overall the attendant was cordial and assisted our guests during use. There were slight miscommunications regarding meal and setup time, but otherwise our expectations were met. Twin Spin was able to explain and clarify this miscommunication and we provided feedback for communication for future clients. The photos turned out well, and we hope our guests took advantage of the service. The only feedback we received from our guests was that setup time was a bit slow, which we learned that it was the attendant’s first time setting up. Our vendor had good communication and responded quickly regarding our photobooth selection and receiving the photos.

With over a decade performing and appearing on CBS, he has had the pleasure of providing music for Govenor Gavin Newsom, grammy-winning artists, Hollywood celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies.

Chris Nicklin was absolutely amazing at my husband and I’s vow renewal! We were looking for a musician who could play a romantic, magical, fun, and upbeat setlist—and he absolutely delivered! He captivated our guests with the diverse range of music he performed during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. During the cocktail hour, he even interacted with our guests, ensuring they had a fantastic time. Everyone couldn’t stop raving about his performances and, to this day, they still talk about what an incredible guitarist Chris is! One of the most special moments of the evening was when Chris accompanied me on guitar as I serenaded my husband at the reception. He was so patient and supportive, offering helpful guidance to ensure the performance was perfect. It was such a beautiful and memorable moment, thanks to Chris’s expertise. I highly recommend Chris Nicklin as a guitarist for weddings or any special event.

We had a fantastic experience with Second Song and our DJ Jeff Collins for our September 14th wedding. Everyone on the Second Song team (and Rob in particular) was very responsive and communicative. The virtual meeting with DJ Jeff went smoothly, and the shared Google Doc that Second Song provided to track the event details was intuitive and easy to use. Rob and his team helped us make custom cuts of our ceremony music at no additional cost. We also booked our uplights through their team, and they were beautiful. Not only could you select the color, but the lights could also be programmed to cycle through colors for more of a party vibe. I could not recommend DJ Jeff Collins more highly. He was professional and on time, and most importantly, had incredible energy. He hit all of our requests for the evening, both for the dinner portion of the night and the dance party afterwards. He worked seamlessly with our planner and made all of the right announcements at the right time, and a large part of the evening's success was due to his energy and enthusiasm. Thank you Second Song for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! If you are on the market for a wedding DJ (or a DJ for any large event), look no further!

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

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.

On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. 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.

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!!!
