The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. 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. We can't recommend the Lucky Devils Band highly enough - they were total professionals and our biggest splurge, but SO worth it I’d do it a million times over!!

Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!

Where to begin... From our initial consultation with Seth, all the way through after our wedding, Seth was absolutely amazing. He was communicative, professional, friendly, organized - everything you could possibly want from any vendor on your wedding day. He listened to every single request we made, and was such a delight on our big day. His calm demeanor put all our worries at ease. He kept the dance floor packed, and all our guests raved about the music. So much so, that a cousin ended up hiring him for her wedding as well. If we could give him more stars, we would!

Second Song has a great process to make sure you have input into the music selection at your wedding! Bryan was super helpful in reviewing our preferences/playlists and was very clear that he wanted the day to be about us! Bryan did a great job including our preferences while also making sure that he didn't just follow our playlist if the wedding guest weren't loving it or the vibe was different than the songs we selected. We had the best time at our wedding and we appreciate Bryan for all his hard work!!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. I am the Resident DJ for Première Los Angeles (premierelosangeles on IG). Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue person). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 650+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that Dylan and the Moon Units MADE our wedding, I am not exaggerating. They not only delivered, the exceeded our already high expectations in every way possible. Music was extremely important for my husband and me, and we knew immediately that we wanted a live band to elevate the evening. We found Dylan and the Moon Units' information online, and after finding that they were very within our budget we reached out and Dylan invited us to one of their gigs in Hollywood. We loved their vibe and booked them. We asked Dylan to play both our ceremony and our reception, as well as play preset playlists for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. Now, I must admit, because music was so important for my husband and my special day, we had *very* specific ideas for what we wanted. Dylan was extremely communicative, answering all of my extremely needy and detailed emails in a timely manner and doing everything he could to reassure me that we were in good hands. We made selections from the list of songs they knew, and also asked them to learn about 10 new songs for us, ranging from unique arrangements of existing songs to deep cuts from 90's movies. Dylan's communication was warm, expeditious, and professional, and I felt really well taken care of. At our wedding, though, is where they exceeded our expectations. The live music they played was amazing, and set the tone for our wedding in the exact way we were hoping for. At the reception, they kept the energy up with a perfectly curated playlist of our requests (and we had quite a lot!) songs they knew would keep the party going. Their song choices appealed to the older crowd as well as the Millennial crowd. Dylan even help me set up a surprise performance for my husband, where I sang one of this favorite songs ("Go Cubs Go") with the backing of the Moon Units band. It was an incredibly special moment. And creating special moments was what Dylan and the Moon Units did best. Somehow, they managed to keep the dance floor packed the entire evening. Months after our wedding, our guests have continuously called out Dylan and the Moon Units as an absolute highlight of our wedding, saying that it was musically one of the best weddings they have ever been to. All-in-all, I cannot recommend Dylan and the Moon Units enough. As someone who was VERY specific about the music at my wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations. Book them for your wedding ASAP - you will not be disappointed.

His insights and experience were key to bringing everything together; he thought of so many details that we hadn't thought of, I really don't know what we would have done without him. Tony and his wife Jess are very friendly and easy to work with. It felt like we were working with our friends and not strangers that were there just to do a job. They really cared about making our wedding the best night of our lives, and it really was! Tony was great at reading the room and playing music that kept everyone on the dance floor.

Lily Press and Simon Linn-Gerstein are truly REMARKABLE. We hired them to play the harp and cello at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside and we could not be more pleased. Lily is A DREAM to work with - she is thoughtful, detail-oriented and so talented. All of her email correspondence were well articulated and prepared, the phone conversations we had with her were a delight, she is thorough and always prepared and organized. Lily and Simon provided us with a complementary song list to choose from, filling in the blanks for us along the way, when we needed help, and even created a custom song ("Simply the best") for our Ceremony! We LOVED it. In addition to all of this, we appreciated the small details - Lily went as far as to ask what her and Simon should wear to the event so they could be coordinated to the wedding "look" we were going for. Lily and Simon are truly the best of the best and should be your #1 choice.

I had the pleasure of having Josh from Surreal Soirees as the DJ for our wedding, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. I first crossed paths with Josh while working at a nightclub together, where he spun incredible sets, and I was a photographer capturing the moments. When it came time to choose our wedding DJ, it was a no-brainer to reach out to Josh, and he delivered beyond our expectations. One of the standout qualities about Josh is his unwavering commitment to understanding and accommodating our musical preferences. We had a long list of song requests that ranged from classic hits to more obscure tracks, and he made sure to incorporate all of them seamlessly into the evening's playlist. Josh's ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly ensured that everyone, from the grandparents to the party animals, had a fantastic time on the dance floor. Another aspect of Josh's service that truly impressed us was his professionalism. He arrived at the venue well ahead of schedule, taking care of all the setup and sound checks without any fuss. Throughout the evening, he maintained a polished and courteous demeanor, interacting with our guests and responding to their song requests with enthusiasm. His attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day special was evident from start to finish. Josh and Surreal Soirees brought an exceptional level of energy and expertise to our wedding celebration.

We hired Bob Gail Music and Entertainment for our wedding and could not have BETTER things to say about them. They are professional Rockstar's. It was by far our easiest decision, and probably the one thing guests remembered most from that night. They help with everything, from picking band members, to song selection, to creative suggestions for your special day. My husband comes from a Mexican family, so we wanted to incorporate some Latin tunes into the set list. They made it happen! While keeping with my traditional live music requests. Brian was our band leader and he kept the night moving smoothly from first dance, to toasts, to getting our guests up on their feet. And the BAND members themselves are incredible. Amazing vocals, and even better personalities. We jumped on stage with them at the end to sing the last song. Music is as important, if not more, than the small details of any wedding/special event. It really makes for lasting memories and I'm so glad we chose BG Music to jam the night away with us. RUN, do not walk, to book them.
