Good Times DJ Service 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

Hello, my name is Allen. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about the past, present, and future of my passion for music. My first DJ event was in 2010 when a couple of my friends wanted to have a New Year’s Eve party. The opportunity of using a friend’s professional DJ equipment came about. The rest is history – I haven’t stopped since! I am constantly learning more and more each day and having fun while doing it. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when I purchase a new piece of DJ equipment or get butterflies when someone books an event. I love playing music! Especially playing music people like.

We had a great experience working with Good Times DJ Service for our wedding. He was very communicative throughout the planning process, responding promptly to our questions over text, email, and phone calls. He took the time to understand our musical tastes and style, and it showed in his song selections at our reception. The dance floor was packed all night! He was professional, arrived on time, and kept everything organized. During the reception, he paid close attention to the crowd vibe and adjusted the music when needed to keep the party going strong. We would highly recommend Good Times DJ Service to other couples planning their weddings - he helped make our special day a huge success!

The compassionate and kind duo of Justin and Gabriel at Complete Weddings & Events made our wedding so much funner than I originally planned! If we are honest, we were worried because Gabriel only had 4 months or so of experience when hired, just not sure really what to expect! The day of, all worries left us because not only was Gabriel fantastic and kind, Justin, the manager, *also* accompanied *just to ensure things ran smoothly.* As we reflect on the day, there was also authentic enthusiasm and caring from the two. We could not recommend them enough to anyone looking for a DJ or any other services. We would give them 1000 stars if we could.

Wedding Day Rain must be good luck for us? It rained on our wedding Day and DJ Daniel put a "nylon speaker cover" over his outdoor ceremony system to play our wedding marches in the rain and our wedding coordinator had him do 'dinner and dancing' indoors out of the rain last minute and DJ Daniel was super flexibile and getting his gear and making announcements to let guests know about our change in plan :) He helped us plan our ceremony marches and 1st dances and we "changed" some last minute songs changes to father /daughter dance on the day of.

We hired Ryan about a month before the ceremony. He was super easy to coordinate with and was a great addition to our small ceremony. He was extremely responsive and was able to come in with minimal direction (we got married at an air bnb and i had no idea where anything would be until we got there) and perform. Thank you!

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo) 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
