Golden Bells was PHENOMENAL! Marlon and the entire band absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Not only is every musician insanely talented, but Marlon curated the night perfectly -- easing in with oldies to get our parents and older guests moving, then seamlessly shifting into the EDM, pop, and Bay Area rap we love. It felt like the soundtrack of us, and everyone could feel that. One of the highlights of the night was when the band came onto the dance floor with drums, trumpet, guitar, and trombone -- and even let us drum in a bit. The energy was unbelievable. And Hava Nagila with a full live band? Unreal. The band/DJ fusion setup made the entire reception feel elevated, unique, and unforgettable. They're truly a one-of-one. We got so many compliments throughout the night and later about the music, the vibe, and the experience the band created. Everything ran smoothly -- from emceeing to sound to transitions -- and you can tell the quality of their equipment and professionalism is top-notch. We can't thank Marlon and the Golden Bells team enough for making our wedding feel like a celebration we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend them!

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!

One of the most important things for us was having a wedding reception where the dance floor was full and people were having a great time all night long. We were worried about finding a DJ who could pull that off, but DJ Sammy was the definition of perfection. Our pre-call with him was amazing, and we could tell he understood the vibe we were going for. We felt confident going into the night, but even our highest expectations were blown away with the way he ensured that everyone had a great time. I picked up on a few tricks of the trade he does that I’ve never seen another DJ do before, and they made a huge difference compared to other weddings I’ve been to. He even took the time to do a special cut in one of the songs we requested, which blew me away with his attention to detail. Although I’m limited to 5 stars in this review, I would literally give him every single star in every single solar system in the sky for how happy we were with his DJing services. Hire him, and rest assured that your evening will be perfect.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Heartbeat Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

For over 25 years, I’ve been turning music into memories. From luxury brand events with Sephora, Macy’s and H&M to unforgettable intimate gatherings, I’ve performed at every type of event there is—but nothing compares to my favorite: the beauty of a wedding day. My journey began as a kid mesmerized by rhythm, inspired by how music could move people’s hearts. That passion has only deepened with time. Today, I bring that same childlike wonder and hard-earned mastery to every couple’s love story. For me, DJing isn’t just sound—it’s emotion, connection, and the art of capturing the heartbeat of the crowd that will be remembered forever.

I thought hiring a DJ was just about someone showing up and playing songs, but DJ Heartbeat (Bren) made it so much more than that. He kept the energy perfect, the timing smooth, and honestly he made the night stress-free for us. Before, I was so anxious about all the little details, both the music and our first dance and everything else but during the wedding, I didn’t think about them once. It all went so perfectly. That’s how good he is! A

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

I highly recommend GE production for DJ events! Jimmy was our DJ and he was great. We got a smaller dance floor because they say around 50-70% of the guests are at the dancefloor at a time but my guests were on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone loved the playlist! Jimmy also went above and beyond producing a remix of three songs for the father and bride dance. I was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!

We had guests come over from the Philippines and he played a few Filipino songs during cocktail hour, which we really appreciated because it made our guests from the Philippines feel more welcome and acknowledged. Brian's communication style was fast, reliable, easy, and collaborative, and the quality of his work and value was the best out there - it was worth every penny!

We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game.

Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST!

Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Choosing a DJ for your wedding can feel really overwhelming, and can truly make or break the atmosphere of your day.

DJ Misha absolutely nailed it. We worked with him to share playlists of songs we wanted to hear, and he used that direction to create the perfect soundtrack for the night. He seamlessly blended everything from disco and deep house to sing-along crowd favorites in a way that kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night long. Guests of every generation were up dancing, it truly brought everyone together and made the night unforgettable. In addition, DJ Misha also handled all of the sound for our ceremony and reception. We had an outdoor ceremony at Scripps Seaside Forum on a very windy day, and he took care of all the audio setup for our vows and speeches, making sure everything went off smoothly. He also managed the transitions throughout the day—from the ceremony to cocktail hour to indoor dancing—flawlessly and without any stress on our end. He was organized, easy to work with, and reliable, which gave us the peace of mind to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Everything ran so smoothly, and we never had to worry about a thing.

Our guests of all ages had a blast - people couldn't stop talking about how great the music was! Thank you!! :)

DJ Tigerlily California 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

San Diego’s premier female DJ & MC, getting shorty fire-burning on the dance floor since 2012! With her exceptional skills in DJing and MCing, she has become the go-to choice for all types of events, ranging from elegant weddings to large corporate events, intimate house parties to dancy bars and clubs. You will typically catch DJ Tigerlily mixing between hiphop, pop, rock, house, electro, funk, disco, and latin tracks, old school to the new. No two playlists are ever the same with this DJ as she thoughtfully prepares for each event based off her client's musical tastes and later builds off the crowd's reaction.

Lily DJ-ed at our wedding in May 2024, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was friendly, responsive, organized, and clearly had a lot of valuable experience in the industry. She did an amazing job using our playlist as inspiration to keep everyone on the dance floor. She read the dance floor really well, making adjustments quickly to maintain the right energy. The vibes were great (all thanks to her!!), and many of our guests made it a point to let us know she did a great job. A friend even said DJ Tiger Lily was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding, which was a high compliment! We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!

Rewind! is a rock dance cover band, featuring music from the 70's to present (with a focus on the dance hits of the 80's!) We are an experienced wedding band based out of San Diego, CA. Although the band itself was formed only in 2021, its members have been members of other rock bands for several decades. From Blondie to The Pretenders, Tom Petty, the Doobies, U2 and the Cars to Journey, sprinkled with contemporary songs Rewind! entertains with crowd pleasing, generation spanning, Rock & Roll. When it comes to adding life, music and fun to your wedding, you can count on Rewind!

We had the most wonderful time having Rewind! play our wedding, and we got sooo many compliments from our guests. Mel was an awesome emcee, and the band played the best 80s hits and got the crowd up and dancing. We even had one friend tell us that, after this, he would refuse to go to a wedding without a live band again. Rewind! was super warm and professional, but also in our budget in these crazy inflation times. They even worked with us to create some special touches, which made it all the more memorable.
