Tempoe Entertainment Djs were an excellent choice for our wedding. Their communication style was thorough, clear, and upbeat throughout the planning process. On the day of, they kept the party going strong even when my husband and I were pulled away to other things. The people at the reception had so much fun dancing the night away thanks to Joe, the DJ, who was excellent. Joe led the guests in fun dances and kept us all pumped up! Even the groom, who is not a big dancer (yet!), was super impressed with Joe's work - which is saying a lot. Tempoe provided great value and quality service that contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. Joe also helped a lot with getting us to think through some of wedding details. His input helped us be more sure as we finalized. If we have another party of any kind, we will hire Tempoe! Just so great overall!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

On Sept 21, my lovely new wife Annie and I were married in Santa Barbara. Prior to the wedding, we'd spent weeks trying to track down a DJ who could both provide our reception with great music, but also provide live-sound for our beach-wedding. DJ Nico not only provided the microphones on the beach so our guests could hear our vows clearly, but also played the music before hand for our guests to enjoy.

He's very versatile too. He switched from oldies to throwback rap bangers to slow dance songs seamlessly! Everyone kept saying "the DJ is killing it". He's also just genuinely a good dude! I felt very comfortable on calls with him and was very happy to have him MC my wedding day. If you are lucky enough to book DJ Hecktik, I cannot recommend enough!

We are so glad we used Second Song for our wedding! The whole process was super easy and whenever we had a question or wanted to update something (like add more uplights, which was a great addition btw) we always got a prompt and helpful reply. And our DJ Rob Goodmonson! We cannot thank him enough for the amazing work he did at our wedding! We loved his energy and all of his questions that he had for us during our phone call consultation. I in particular am very grateful that he was so willing to help me with a special song request which required mixing bits from two songs together for my Father-Daughter dance. He was more than up for the challenge and was so helpful with it! When it came to the actual wedding, he was so kind when introducing himself on our wedding day and did a beautiful job MCing. We wanted more minimal MC work and he nailed it perfectly! He was also super flexible with last minute announcement requests that we had. For example, we realized no one was noticing the anniversary cards we put out for signing at the dinner tables, so we asked him to make a little announcement about it and he did great doing that on the spot! Finally, the music all night was absolutely fantastic. He really listened to what we wanted and he delivered! The music felt very much like “us” and we had so much fun dancing all night long. Everyone kept talking about how great he was and several people said it was the best wedding music they have ever heard. If we ever need a DJ again, without a doubt, we will be hiring DJ Rob!

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians. They always arrive on time, are professional, and execute exactly what the bride and groom envision, flawlessly.

We booked Conner and his live saxophone player for our wedding in July and they were a HIT! Conner has such an awesome portfolio of experience he is truly changing the reputation of what it means to be a wedding DJ. He does so much more. He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception.

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon was an outstanding DJ who supported our wedding this last February. I loved that he had outfit options, as our wedding was themed "Love Through the Ages" and we requested all of our guests to wear attire from their favorite decade. It was fabulous that we were able to pick his super awesome outfit to stand out (and in theme) for the wedding. He curated the most amazing playlist, based on our theme, so we got to drift through music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and all the way through to current day. He is such a charismatic and engaging host and was able to convince folks (who I never thought would have danced) to get onto the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Brandon's talents and feel so grateful that The Knot had him on their vendor list for us to find.
