Golden Bell was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Original versions of songs but accompanied by the energy of live instruments. Golden Bell was professional and communicative from start to finish and our guests have been raving about them ever since the wedding. If you book them, you will find that your guests who don’t normally like to dance or stay until the end of a reception will be on their feet the whole time with huge grins on their faces.

When planning our wedding at Glen Annie Golf Course in Goleta, CA, we knew that having a great DJ would be instrumental for the day of. Justin was a recommended DJ from our venue, and was also recommended by our photographer during one of our meetings. Immediately after that call ended, we looked at Justin's website and knew that he was exactly what we were looking for. His website was super easy to use, and his custom music he has on display was a great insight on what he could do. Justin was extremely helpful, polite, and incredibly efficient. There wasn't anything we as the bride and groom had to worry about in regards to announcements, music, etc. He not only catered to our music selection with great variety, but continued to read the room as the night went on.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!!

Full custom theme weddings from San Francisco's leading indie DJs. Share your love of music with family and friends. We're here to help you make your wedding sound like the mixtape you exchanged when you first met.

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!!

Listen DJ BSelecta aka Brandi was an absolute HIT at our wedding. Every single one of our guest was not expecting the turn up she provided. Our guest were on the dance floor all night.

Bryan was absolutely amazing! And he had quite a journey with me. Our wedding was originally June of 2020, and Bryan helped me to sort out what to use for the ceremony, and helped to guide me toward good music for the reception. I was feeling reading, but of course COVID forced us to delay our wedding to June 2021. He was more than understanding, and helped us to delay with compassion. Fast forward to March of 2021, and due to a really devastating year on our family, we decided to cancel our wedding altogether. Bryan worked with my husband and I (we legally got married in 2020) to have an “unwedding” party, just some good music and karaoke in our backyard, to take our minds off of the tough times. It was so much fun, everyone had a great time, and Bryan helped us to lighten the mood to keep us distracted from what could have been a really sad day for us. I highly recommend him for weddings, parties and everything in between. Thank you Bryan for helping us through the crazy journey that was 2020 and 2021!!

Keith was able to deliver excellent sound ,MC services, and a great time during my outdoor wedding a a thunderstorm! I was worried my vendors would leave when we got caught in a rare desert rain storm in Joshua tree. Although, Keith was understandably concerned about his equipment he stuck around a played all of our favorite songs. He has an online portal to input all of you song choices for ceremony and reception but I would recommend scheduling a call after putting in all that information. I unfortunately, waiting to the last minutes to put everything on the portal and I think I could have communicated better on a call or video chat. My wedding day did not go as planned but it was the best day of my life and everyone had a blast! I owe that Keith and the rest of my vendors who stayed in spite of wet clothes and flash flooding.

We had DJ Jimmy Grizzley as our DJ. We had met him at the bridal bazar in Del Mar and we could tell he was all business from how he was dressed. He made a great first impression with us and after we had a phone consultation we booked his services. He has a very easy system to work with regarding music selections and he even helped provide us with some guidance. He was in communication with our coordinator and they were on the same page for all the details of our wedding. When our big day rolled around we definitely had some things we were worried about however he was not one of them. My family is all about partying and dancing, and we have a diverse group. Jimmy crushed it with the grand entrance and as soon as the key moments were done, we were ready to party. He straight up crushed it. He played the majority or our list and worked in a few surprise tracks and even some Latin ones for my hispanic people! Bottom line was it was lit, and his mixing skills are off the chart.

I simply cannot emphasize how amazing Lily Press & Simon Linn-Gerstein are. After falling in love with their music from hearing it on their website, we got in touch with them to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.

Their organization, professionalism, and talent made this part of our wedding planning process (a generally stressful time) feel so effortless and happy. They were always quick to respond and communicated with us so well that we always felt we were in good hands (not to mention it has been SUCH a joy to talk to them). Lily & Simon were truly one of the few wedding vendors we had that I NEVER had a single worry or hesitation about and I cannot recommend them enough. Their beautiful music helped shape our whole ceremony and the custom composition they composed for us (ABBA’s “I Have A Dream”), which we used for our recessional, had everyone in happy tears. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their beautiful playing as much as we did and we will always remember what an amazing experience we had with them. Lily & Simon - thank you SO much!!!

When good isn’t good enough and your worst fear is getting that cheesy DJ that your guests don’t like or won’t remember, Sounds Elevated is here to help!

We had such an amazing experience working with Sounds Elevated for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication style was thorough, friendly, and fun. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly top-notch - they were creative, energetic, and flexible throughout the entire process. Having the John Varn Trio perform live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour set the perfect vibe right from the start. And when it was time for the reception, DJ Robin brought so much awesome energy to the dancefloor that had all ages out there partying all night long. There was never a dull moment thanks to the perfect blend of oldies, Bay Area hype, and millennial bangers that they curated. We would recommend the Sounds Elevated team to everyone - we don't think there is a better company out there to go with for your wedding or event!

  • DJ
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

Mehul, aka DJ Mistry, has been entertaining crowds for 10+ years. The journey began in California and now Jhakaas Entertainment offers entertainment services worldwide. DJ Mistry has proven his abilities as a top Indian-fusion DJ in the wedding industry by taking all genres of music and blending unique live mixes for your special event. There is a reason why even after being in business since 2009, Jhakaas Entertainment has seen continuous success through our professional client focused approach leading to 5-Star Reviews on Yelp.

We loved having Mehul DJ our wedding! We hired Mehul for both our sangeet and our wedding ceremony / reception. He was very organized and provided suggestions and templates to make sure everyone was clear on what songs should be played at which moments (first dance, cake cutting, entrances, etc.). He did a great job of incorporating songs we / our parents had requested and did a great job of balancing between newer music and songs that got our parent's friends on the dance floor too! He also made sure to find us at the end of our Sangeet and asked if we were happy with the music / if there was anything he could improve on before the wedding the next day - he did great but really appreciated that he did this to make sure we were happy! All of our guests loved it and we had a full dance floor all night, both nights!

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding in 3 short months was probably one of the craziest things my husband and I have done. The stress and chaos was pretty insane, especially meeting with different vendors and finding which ones were the best fit. Terry with Soundbytes Mobile DJ was such a blessing to find. His professionalism and charismatic personality made it an easy choice for us to have him as our DJ. He met with us prior and gave us a very thorough spreadsheet for us to fill out with important info, our music preferences, and wedding day timeline. Our guests complimented how wonderful Terry was with song selections, getting everyone on the dance floor, and his great sense of humor. A HUGE “thank you” to Terry for being a part of our special day and making it so memorable!

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and Her team were amazing!! We hired them for our Wedding in August 2023 in Newport RI and they were outstanding!! We had a Trio for Our ceremony outdoors, a Jazz Duo for our Cocktail hour and then we had a DJ with the fusion options and had an Electric Violinist and Electric Guitarists Play!! Hands Down the most amazing Music Service!!

We are Better Half - violinist Regina Tolley and guitarist Allen de la Rosa. Our violin + guitar duo enjoys playing romantic, classic, popular, and alternative music to set the mood for weddings, elopements, engagements, and any occasion people come together to celebrate!! Performing together since 2013, we both have a passion for music, entertainment, and travel (we've played together in the United States and Europe). Our favorite things are to work alongside our couples to create the perfect personalized soundtrack for their special day, and elevate the experience with a unique and memorable performance on the one-in-a-lifetime day!!

Regina was amazing to work with: punctual, prepared, attentive, and knowledgeable. Her professionalism is obvious with her planning process and no need to be nudged one way or the other on the big day. She's done this before and she knows how to make your day what you are looking for! Her violin blew everyone away, so so beautiful. If you're looking for a violinist or a guitar player Better Half truly is for you. We were so thrilled and couldn't have picked better. Thank you Better Half!

TREGOtheDJ is a professional wedding DJ service operating out of Tempe, AZ. Owner Andrew Trego knows how vital a role a DJ plays in your once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and he is ready to make every moment sound amazing. An energetic performer with years of experience, he has the skills and equipment to keep your guests on the floor from the very first song.

Trego is the best in the business PERIOD. We cannot say enough amazing things about him! And honestly every single guest at our wedding can’t stop talking about how fun and great he was still to this day. From the moment we had our first meeting with him we knew he was who we wanted to DJ out wedding. He was so easy going and it felt like we were meeting with one of our best friends. He asked all the questions to really get to know us and genuinely listened to the answers. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted, but didn’t feel the need to have a set playlist because we were so comfortable and confident he would give us the party we were looking for and he delivered!! He had every guest on the dance floor dancing until the end of the night. We keep saying we wish we could do it all over again it was truly the best night ever and a HUGE part of that is thanks to Trego! If you’re getting married and looking for a DJ you need Trego! Thank you for helping make the most important day so memorable and fun you’re the best!
