We are so happy we decided to work with Golden Bell for our wedding day music!

Modern Highway was absolutely FANTASTIC at our wedding! Their setlist of 80s, 90s, and 2000s hits had everyone on their feet all night. Christina’s voice is unforgettable, and their rendition of "How Far We’ve Come" by Matchbox 20, a song very special to our family, was particularly memorable. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional, getting everyone excited and joyful. They were also great communicators and wonderful to work with, offering helpful ideas and accommodating all our requests.

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!!!!

Oh my God, I don’t know if we could say enough about Seth! From the very beginning, he communicated well. Immediately got back to us about our inquiry here in Zola and set up a meeting time. Was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. Handled all of my wedding coordinators questions, adapted with us when we needed more time, and had a good structure which helped us think of things we would have totally forgotten. And the day of the wedding, he was amazing! Our venue had a slightly difficult layout, and he adapted and made our day fantastic! Also, we wanted a true DJ for our wedding because we love dancing and clubs. He delivered! We needed to mix both of our cultures, and he made that happen! An absolutely amazing playlist and every one of our guests had something great to say about Seth! 100/10, would book for any event again in the future and recommend him to everyone

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 bass player will even get on the dance floor and play with you which is just such a highlight! They are so versatile and know just about every song. Incredible. They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day.

As a wedding photographer, I've been to hundreds of weddings over the last decade and have heard countless performances by musicians. However, Lily and Simon still stand out as the most talented and professional artists I know. Their dedication and commitment to their craft is evident not just in their work with weddings but in the albums they've recorded and artists they've collaborated with. Lily and Simon are a remarkable duo. This sets them apart from other musicians as they are able create and practice custom arrangements together prior to a wedding--a true synergy of communication and harmony. They work seamlessly to provide a level of professionalism and quality I haven't seen elsewhere, and every performance (even if I've heard them perform a song before) feels unique and distinctive each time. Over the last 6 years, I've had the pleasure of working many weddings with Lily and Simon, both in the greater Boston area and Southern California, and it always feels like I had the opportunity to experience something truly exceptional and unique when they perform. I highly recommend them without hesitation or reservation.

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!!

DJ Nahchey and DASH entertainment do a great job coordinating all your musical needs for any type of event - for us it was our wedding. From the beginning it went smoothly and he and his team are very thorough and responsive. We chose DJ Becca who is very nice and was up our alley of musical taste. Our goal was for a dance vibe type of wedding but there were a few miscues with the songs she played. We’d hope she would read the room better and continue to play songs that she noticed people were enjoying but her transitions between songs were a bit odd. Nonetheless, she was a joy to work with and maybe with a bit more direction (our fault, not hers!) this would be a 5 star review. Highly recommend reaching out to DJ Nahchey and DASH Entertainment, they have many DJs to choose from!

Josh is a phenomenal DJ. We hired him for our wedding and the event was hailed as (not just one of the best weddings) but as one of the best parties our guests had ever attended. Josh took our music preferences and added to them, making our reception incredibly high energy and fun. Pretty much everyone was up and dancing the entire time. In terms of organization, Josh is incredibly attentive and communicative. He learns about you in order to run your event perfectly tailored to who you are and what you want. The entire process was very personalized and we felt very taken care of. We highly recommend Josh for any event you need DJ'd.
