WEDDINGS

A Unique, Caring, and Professional Experience — Elevated for Every Couple!

As a professional DJ/Emcee, classically trained guitarist, and singer-songwriter with over 1,000 weddings to my credit, you’re choosing one of the most experienced and well-regarded entertainers Southern California has to offer. But beyond the extensive experience and confidence I bring, the main reason I excel at what I do is simple: I truly love my job. It’s a dream come true to be living my passion as both a live musician and DJ.

There’s nothing quite like the joy of making people happy through music on one of the happiest days of their lives. Whether I’m performing guitar during a bride’s processional down the aisle or keeping the dance floor packed as a DJ, every moment is a thrill.

While hiring a DJ company is certainly a good choice—there are many talented ones—the personal attention, meticulous detail, and extensive experience I offer are truly unmatched. I invite you to explore my website further and discover how I can help create an unforgettable celebration tailored just for you.

And be sure to visit my VENDOR REFERRAL PAGE for additional recommendations and resources.

DETAILS
During the planning stages of your wedding, I will always be available to you as your planner and guide, helping you chose your music and create a custom timeline.  I handle timeline details with great care as they are a critical step toward a successful wedding day (details from ceremony program music and staging, cocktail hour repertoire, grand entrances, special dances, toasting...and the list goes on).  I also provide you with an online login planning area at my website where you can create DJ playlist and customize all of your music - no detail is overlooked. 

As a professional DJ, guitarist, singer and emcee, I provide you with a unique combination which may be utilized in anyway imaginable.  Adding live music during your ceremony and cocktail hour (even during dinner if you chose) adds elegance and class to your special day which no DJ can reproduce!  There is no right or wrong way to mix up live music and DJ'd music.  You may even have me DJ your ceremony if you wish or certain songs. The point is, you have lots of options with me! 

When you consider the vast age differences and generation gaps among your guests (grandparents, parents, siblings, friends and children) a variety of music usually lends itself well. 

Here is a creative example of how you could utilize me (programming your music is a personal decision and there are limitless combinations): 

Pre-Seating: live instrumental classical guitar (or with mellow vocal covers) played approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony. Alternatively, I can pipe in DJ-style background music of your choosing. 

Ceremony: a special selection for the seating of the grandparents and parents. Classical prelude and processional for the bridal party and bride.  A beautiful instrumental selection during the candle lighting ceremony.  After the exchange of vows and pronouncement, I sang a special song the couple had me learn for them.  Ending with a recessional instrumental song as they walked down the isle as husband and wife. 

Cocktail Hour: directly following the ceremony, I moved locations to the cocktail hour where I sang upbeat cover songs providing a nice background ambiance. 

Dinner / Reception:  began DJing with high energy grand entrances, once the bride and groom were introduced and on the floor, I performed their first dance for them live followed by DJ background music as we moved into dinner.  After toasting and dinner was complete, I DJ'd for the next four hours as everyone danced feverishly into the night celebrating!

EQUIPMENT & LIGHTING

Perfect Sound: 

A typical wedding involves three different locations: ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner/reception. You will be provided with a sound system for each location, all set up and ready before your ceremony’s pre-seating music begins. This ensures smooth transitions from one area to the next.

*** I travel with backup speakers for every location where I perform. All speakers are self-powered, which not only minimizes the failure rate—holding the industry’s lowest—but also delivers superior sound quality and performance.

*** I carry a backup digital audio player. In the unlikely event that my main system (MacBook Pro) were to fail, the digital audio player would serve as a reliable emergency backup!

Equipment Highlights:

  • Main Speakers: RCF ART 915A (15-inch)
  • Backup & Cocktail Speakers: QSC K12 & K10
  • Wireless Microphone Systems: Shure QLXD4
  • DJ Music Delivery: MacBook Pro 2025
  • Dance Floor Lighting: Chauvet Wash Lighting Systems

Emergency Power Backup

Power outages can happen unexpectedly, and even a brief interruption can disrupt your entire celebration. To safeguard your special day, I pack commercial-grade backup batteries in my van. These batteries are capable of powering the speakers and sound system if an emergency power outage occurs, helping your wedding continue without a hitch.

CEREMONY SOUND: 

For your ceremony, I provide a State-of-the-Art sound system—from the microphone or lapel mic for the bride, groom, and officiant, to special readings by family or friends, and background music.

We’ve all been to weddings where the audio was hard to hear, feedback interrupted the vows, or the sound was either too loud or too soft. Many wedding planners overlook how crucial professional sound is during the ceremony—delivering clear, natural, stereo sound so that even elderly guests in the back can hear and enjoy every word spoken.

Many venues include sound systems in their packages. Be sure to ask whether a trained sound engineer will be monitoring the system throughout the ceremony. Unfortunately, many locations, even five-star hotels, leave equipment unattended once set up—risking technical issues or wind interference without anyone on site to troubleshoot. Professional live sound requires years of study and hands-on experience, which I bring from hundreds of weddings, as well as high-profile events like presidential speeches and live concerts for major classical and pop artists.
