Who you'll be working with

Not just a playlist — your night, run right.

We are a Northern California mobile DJ service built entirely around weddings. Our approach is simple: keep your night on schedule and keep everyone on the dance floor.

From your first planning call to your last dance, you get a real partner who reads the room, cues every moment, and handles the timeline so you can actually be a guest at your own wedding.

  • Wedding specialists. Ceremonies and receptions are all we do — and we obsess over getting them right.
  • On-time, every time. We keep vendors aligned and the schedule flowing, so nothing feels rushed.
  • Family-friendly & flexible. Clean versions, every decade, unlimited requests — your vibe, your call.

"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!

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.

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 →
