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!

I can't recommend this company enough! From my first interaction with Rob to working with Nick on our wedding day, everything was so smooth and professional. I was looking for a non-traditional wedding DJ, someone who wasn't too cheesy or "in your face," and that is exactly what I found with this company. We loved working with Nick M. and had chosen him specifically because he was recommended for the type of music we prefer. He read the room and understood the vibe we were going for and was able to fill in the blanks in our provided playlists perfectly. We got so many compliments from guests regarding how good the music was, which made us really happy. Nick was also very flexible and accommodating as we had a lot of last-minute song choices (night before and day-of). He did everything to make sure we were on the same page with the song choices and song order, especially regarding the grand entrance and first dance songs. My only regret is that I didn't get to talk to Nick more amongst the craziness of the wedding day! I would highly recommend Second Song and Nick M. for all your wedding DJ needs!

Seth was the least stressful part of the entire wedding planning process! Great communicator, calm, sweet, helpful and knowledgeable in all types of music. From our first meeting, we immediately trusted him and felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing. A true professional who takes his job seriously. We hired Seth because we read reviews from other mixed race couples who said he blended music from all cultures perfectly. It was important to us that he honor both cultures, while keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. I also had a very specific request for him, that the music be "clean" and free of any disrespectful and derogatory lyrics towards women, and he FULLY embraced that request. I'm not exaggerating when I say that our very diverse crowd stayed on the dance floor ALL NIGHT (me and hubs included). All songs were mixed flawlessly, no awkward pauses in between. What an amazing party, and Seth gets a huge part of that credit. A text message from one of our guests: "I went to a wedding in Lake Arrowhead. It was boring. DJ was no bueno. Your guy had all the tunes dialed in" Your guests will remember a boring DJ. Do not skimp on the Entertainment! Seth is your guy! 15/10 Seth, we can't thank you enough! Talin & Tomas

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.

Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 600+ 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
The Moon Units made my wedding. It all started when my wife (fiancee at the time) forwarded me an Instagram clip of them because she knew I was set on hiring a live band. I took my sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!

My wife and I are so glad that we chose Tony to DJ/MC our wedding! In the months leading up to our big day, Tony was always available to meet with us throughout the planning process. 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. I saw everyone dancing, kids, adults, friends, even some people that I never thought would be out there on the dance floor! Tony made everyone feel welcome. I would definitely recommend Tony to anyone searching for a DJ. Tony and Jess, Thank you SOOO MUCH!!!! -J&J

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. From the very start of this process, Lily & Simon have gone above and beyond to help make our wedding day special. 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!!!

Like anything the devil is in the details and this is where David and his wife Andrea SHINE. He works a room, he can gauge when the music needs to be turned up to get people moving and his MC skills are on point. Even having the grooms back when a grandfather inadvertently bashed his new grandson :). When I say these two are the nicest people I have met I mean it. My bride got stung by a hornet after the ceremony but before reception and Andrea his wife came rushing over to help her and had an essential oil combination to fix it.

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.

So happy we went with RedShoe for our wedding! We worked with Jonathan (JCR), who was amazing. He was so helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding in discussing music choices and timing, and offered some really great advice based on his experience with our specific venue, which was so great. He did an amazing job with all of our requests, playing exactly the type of music we were hoping for during our cocktail hour and dinner. For the ceremony, he timed the songs perfectly for our walks down the aisle, and for the party and dancing he read the room and played the BEST music. We got so many compliments on the music and many guests asked who the DJ was. Jonathan was super sweet, and we really appreciated his help and his work! Highly recommend RedShoe and JCR!

The Moon Units played for our wedding and all of our guests commented on how great the singers were. The band showed up dressy in suits and cocktail dresses, they danced while they sang. They could sing any genre. Dylan who runs the band bookings is sooooo detailed. He will make anything happen for you. They played an instrumental song I love while announcing the wedding party for Grand Entrance- so authentic! I more than highly recommend this band. They will jump through hoops for their bride and deliver a great outstanding performance.

Echo Phi 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Operating out of Los Angeles, California and the Souther California Area, Echo Phi is a luxury wedding service that adds a profound spiritual dimension to your special day. Led by renowned sound healer DragonFire, they tailor each experience to the couple’s vision, from serene private sound baths to deeply immersive ceremonies with elegant alters.

Hiring Echo Phi for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made! DragonFire and his team created an experience that went beyond anything we could have imagined. We chose one of their high-end packages, and every part of it was exceptional. The pre-wedding sound healing session helped calm our nerves, and the custom altar they designed with luxurious crystals was a stunning focal point of our ceremony. What truly made our day unforgettable was the private sound bath for my husband and me—an incredible upgrade that added such a personal and intimate touch. It was a deeply spiritual moment that allowed us to feel grounded and connected right before the ceremony. Our guests also loved the sound bath during the reception, and many said it was unlike anything they had ever experienced at a wedding. DragonFire’s presence and energy are just extraordinary. We felt so supported and cared for throughout the entire process, and it made our wedding feel incredibly special and meaningful. If you’re looking for a wedding experience that’s unique and transcendent, Echo Phi is the way to go!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Michelle(aka Haute Mobile Disco) all the praise she deserves. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Michelle and Ian previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional. All of their paperwork to fill out in advance for which genres of music I wanted was super easy and helpful to get exactly the vibes we were looking for. They created the PERFECT playlist and had my guests on the dancefloor literally the entire night. I added a live Saxophone which was the perfect addition. He was incredible. It created such a fun and interactive experience for my guests that they are still raving about. Michelle was so flexible with all my crazy song choices, a few which weren’t easy to find, as well as my idea to have a re-introduction when I chopped off my hair during the reception and came back out in a sequin jumpsuit. She did the perfect introduction and made the dancefloor feel like a night at the Grammy’s instead of a humble backyard wedding. Cannot recommend Michelle and her team enough, they were everything we could have asked for and brought the best energy and vibes we were looking for!
