"There was never any dead dancing time."
They did a great job and are so easy to work with! I gave him a list of all my favorite songs and he made sure to play them all night — there was never any dead dancing time. He even decorated with all his different lighting and it looked amazing. Highly recommend!
Ricky & BriWedding · Northern California
We could not be happier! Not only affordable, but fantastic. He met with us several times to talk timeline and playlists and was willing to play whatever we asked. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ at our wedding.
Sean & AshleyWedding · Northern California
A huge reason our wedding was such a fun party. The perfect music kept guests dancing the entire night. Very professional and extremely talented — far exceeded our expectations.
Royce & KimberlyWedding · Northern California
There should be a 10-star rating — phenomenal job! You made everything smooth and kept the party going with excellent music choices. Thanks for making our special day even better!

Good questions
The things couples ask us first
How far in advance should we book our wedding DJ?+
Most couples book us 9–14 months out, and popular Saturdays go first. That said, it's always worth asking — send your date and we'll tell you right away if it's open.
What areas of Northern California do you serve?+
We DJ weddings across Modesto, Turlock, Stockton, Manteca, Tracy, Merced, the Tri-Valley (Pleasanton, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville), San Jose, the greater Bay Area, and Sacramento. Outside that radius? Travel can be added — just ask.
Do you act as the MC and keep the timeline on track?+
Yes — that's the heart of what we do. We handle the grand entrance, introductions, toasts, cake cutting, and every announcement with a polished, classy mic presence, while keeping your vendors and schedule perfectly in sync.
Can we request songs — and ask you to skip some?+
Absolutely. You get unlimited requests and a do-not-play list. We play family-friendly clean versions by default, every decade, and read the floor in real time so the energy never dips.
What does it cost, and what's included?+
Packages start at $1,800 and every tier includes a pro DJ/MC, Bose sound, a wireless mic, unlimited requests, and unlimited planning. From there you add hours, ceremony coverage, uplighting, and effects. See full pricing →
