We hired Ryan for our dinner/kickoff celebration in February, and he absolutely delivered. From the first message to the end of the night, communication was smooth, clear, and easy. He showed up prepared, read the room perfectly, and kept the vibe exactly where we wanted it. The music was on point all evening--great song choices, great flow, and a really natural sense of when to elevate the energy or keep things relaxed. Throughout the night, guests kept asking who our DJ was and telling us how much they loved the music. Overall, it couldn't have gone better. We'll definitely be hiring Carcano DJ again for future events. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Mike Carcano for our wedding on June 21st at Lido House in Newport Beach, and he was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, Mike went above and beyond helping us curate the perfect music selection, setting the mood with incredible lighting and decor, and even jumping in on his drums to jam with our Arabic percussionist! Mike masterfully blended our two cultures, Diane's Jordanian roots and my Cuban heritage and the result was pure magic. Both sides of the family were on the dance floor all night long. He kept the energy up, read the room flawlessly and created a celebration we'll never forget. Not only is he a talented DJ and performer but he's also just a genuinely great guy. Our guests are still raving about him and we can confidently say Mike is our DJ for life. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a next-level experience with someone who's very easy to work with.

We booked Carcano back in 2019 for our wedding in 2020, but as we all know, the pandemic happened and we landed ourselves a postponed wedding! We didn't have our wedding until 2022. Thank you to the Carcano team for being so patient and accommodating during that time of planning. We asked Carcano to provide drapery in the ballroom and in the rooftop gazebo, rented chairs, dance floor, and for DJ services. The team did amazing for the drapery, especially for the gazebo; Michael was hesitant to provide drapery for the gazebo at the time because they haven't done too many prior. The ballroom was gorgeous, the whole place transformed to a new place! Everyone was in awe as they entered the room. We had Max as our DJ. He was so friendly and kept everyone moving on the dance floor. We danced all the way until midnight! We had the best time and so did our guests. Thank you to the Carcano team for helping us bring our best day to life; it would not have been the same without them! read more

Mike was the DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah last weekend, and he was AMAZING! The kids had the best time and danced all night! He involved my daughter and me in every step of the process but gave me so much guidance - I never worried or had concerns. The girls were on the dance floor from 6-11pm and my son and his friends were obsessed with the games. We will definitely be booking again when my son has his event in three years!! Big thanks to Mike! read more

Professional DJ company with great service. Our company onhired Carcano DJ for a vip dinner in Long Beach with 140+ guests and it was imperative we had excellent sound for speeches and entertainment as well as during the dinner itself. Ryan, Debbie and Michael were all very responsive and helped navigate planned intro entertainment, speech quality, sound balancing and during dinner music. Ryan who handled set up and event itself was professional, quick in responding and provided excellent sound and support at the event. We look forward to working with Carcano DJ Audio Visual and Lighting again in the future. read more

Came across the carcano family business at an open house AND they came recommended by our coordinator. After chatting about what we wanted for the big day, and the family asking all the right detailed questions, I Instantly knew that they were the djs we wanted for our big day. I mean these guys seriously know what they're doing. Every meeting we had with them, I left feeling in good hands. Ryan killed it. We got so many compliments on the music at our reception. We also got the gobo and up lighting and it really transformed the space. Highly recommend going with them and paying for quality read more

We booked Carcano DJ for our wedding and we had absolutely no regrets about it! In addition to DJ services, we also booked their photobooth. Very reasonably priced services with plenty of package options to choose from. Communication was also easy! Ryan was our DJ and he was AMAZING.

I had Ryan as my DJ for the wedding, and I have to say this is definitely the right decision I've made because he's awesome! He pays attention to details, listens to you, and is very knowledgeable about his field. He knows what he does, and knows how to meet or even exceed your expectation!

Michael and Ryan, Thank you so so much for all that you did to make our wedding not only look beautiful but fun!! The twinkle lighting above the dance floor was absolutely perfect.

The dance floor was not empty once it opened up! Your service from the beginning to end was so professional! You were quick to respond to any questions as well as changes we needed made. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!! You guys are absolutely amazing! read more

We had an amazing experience with Ryan and Mike for our son's Bar Mitzvah! During the cocktail hour, they kept the kids totally engaged with fun, interactive games, and during the dance party, they had tons of personalized activities that made our son feel like the star of the night. They also played very interactive games that kept the young boys engaged and excited throughout the evening. The photo booth was a huge hit--we have so many fun pictures to remember the night! The team kept the energy high and fun, moving through the itinerary flawlessly and making sure everything ran smoothly. Even our other vendors complimented how professional and upbeat the Carcano team was. They helped with the planning process, played music that perfectly matched our son's taste, and somehow kept my wife dancing all night--which says it all. Huge thanks to Ryan and Mike, the incredible father-son duo--just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Carcano DJ was incredible. Mike did a beautiful job at the ceremony and the cocktail party. Then a fabulous job for the reception and dancing. DJ's are so important when it comes to a wedding. Everyone loved him, he was a great MC/DJ and entertained everyone ALL NIGHT. All the guests were complimenting the perfect selection of music he played. The flow of the wedding was flawless. They also did a beautiful job lighting the venue. We would give him 10 stars if we could, I can't say this enough, Mike was perfect. We highly recommend Carcano DJ for any party you have. They were the BEST. Gail Newport Beach read more

You cannot go wrong with them Stress free experience read more

The Carcano family is a force to be reckoned with. What I love about this family run business is how proud everyone is of each other as well as the work they do. They stand by each other and they stand by their work and when you're with them, you're feeling like you're a part of their family as well. We were lucky to meet the Carcano DJ fam at a Wedding Expo out of all places and we were intrigued because of the videos they've had from previous events but just the all around contagious and genuine energy we felt upon meeting them. Once we got their information, they invited us over to get an understanding of what kind of music we wanted as well as what kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. As someone who really appreciates music with clubs and music festivals, the Carcano fam knew immediately what kind of route I wanted to go and invited us to their showroom to provide a preview of what was to come. As the months built, the Carcanos were always quick to communicate and answer any questions I have as well as meet through Zoom when they could. I was specific with my music choices as I crafted a sentimental and touching pre-ceremony mix, a vibin' cocktail hour mix and then an absolute send for our wedding party mix. As much control as I had, I wanted to give the Carcano DJ squad creative freedom to feel the crowd and just play to keep the energy going. They understood that and was able to provide other things I asked for; confetti, CO2 tanks and big smiles all around. The Carcanos came down to San Diego to our absolutely beautiful and one of a kind venue and were able to visualize where everything needed to go so they could put on the memorable performance I had expected from them. Making these trips on their own, I appreciate the extra mile (pun intended) that they went through to make sure everything was covered on their end. Wedding day comes in and we are gifted with the all star team of Ryan, Max, Jason and Angelina. Angelina handled the photo booth that we also added as our package and our guests told us how much fun the booth was. I must say, once Ryan, Max and Jason were testing the music and sound upon arrival, the energy and enthusiasm I felt was immediate. And after all the zoom calls and the analysis of the music playlist I had shared through Google Sheets, everything musically was executed to perfection. Ryan, who was also our MC, did a phenomenal job with his announcements and making sure the guests were in tune with what was about to happen. Also, Ryan, if you're reading, a lot of the guests said you have that "voice", which got everyone pumped and smiling with the energy you had. After handling the music for the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour and providing the announcements needed, the peak of the night ended in the dance party which was delivered flawlessly. With Max and Jason helping create the perfect dance atmosphere and after meticulously planning our CONFETTI+CO2 GUN SURPRISE, we delivered with an explosion of cheers and gasps and awe. From that point on, with my influence, Ryan delivered with great music, creative mixing and always keeping the energy at a high until the venue had to force guests out because our time was at a near. To this day, our guests continue to excitedly tell us how epic our wedding was and it couldn't have been done without the Carcano team. BIG THANK YOU to Ryan, Max, Jason, and Angelina for being at our wedding and later enjoying the later parts of the night as we all got to let loose together. You guys are amazing and as someone who values family and just good energy, you would've thought we were related (we might be though, who knows). Also thank you for being respectful and helpful to our venue as originally they said no confetti but your wonderful team was willing to help clean and just go the extra mile to make sure this night was one we'd never forget and our guests would always remember. We hope you all were able to have an amazing time yourselves and we will always recommend your family for everything events related. Also big thank you for the big man Michael Carcano and Debbie being the reason why we came to you guys, I'd be proud to be a Carcano as well and you both did it right. Hope nothing but the best for your fam and any event that doesn't have the Carcanos doesn't realize what they're missing. read more

My husband and I had an introductory planning meeting with Mike and Ryan as well as a few over the email and phone conversations to plan our reception. We ended up using dancing on the clouds for our first dance as well as background lighting. Ryan had done a great job making sure he incorporated all of our requested music as well as a surprise performance for my husband. Ryan had even come in before the reception introductions to make sure he had pronunciation of names correct, which was appreciated. Ryan had our guests dancing for the entire four hours, kept the reception moving and honored all of our music requests. We are getting very positive feedback from family and friends as them having a great time. I would highly recommend Ryan and Carcano DJ Audio Visual & Lighting. read more

Carcano DJ was on the list of recommended vendors for our wedding venue. We are so happy we chose to go with their services. We found that they were a real value for our wedding day and provided wonderful insight as we were planning our ceremony and reception. For example, Michael suggested that we hire ceremony musicians instead of having him play our favorite songs during the ceremony. He noted it would help us have the more intimate ceremony we were looking for and bring an overall charm to our day. I'm so happy I listed to his advice and he really considered the quality of our day as opposed to simply taking the additional hour of DJ services. This is the type of thoughtfulness you can expect from Carcano DJ. I primarily worked with Debbie to coordinate all the services for our wedding day. I found that Carcano DJ was extremely helpful and understanding throughout the rescheduling process we had to go through during the height of the COVID 19 pandemic. They made it very easy to reschedule out wedding date. Additionally, they were extremely flexible with adding services. Last minute, I thought about how the venue would really benefit from some lighting for ambiance and they kindly and quickly obliged to make this possible. She coordinated with my day-of coordinator to ensure that all the important dances were accounted for and made it so people got up on the dance floor for some fun line dancing. Ryan was the DJ for our wedding. He was so upbeat and really made it easy for our guests to know the course of events for the evening. He was so friendly and made the dance floor a wonderful place to be for all of our guests. read more

Working with the Carcano DJ team for our wedding was a great pleasure. Mike, Ryan, and Debbie are such wonderful people, they really take care of you. When I first submitted an inquiry, Mike got back to me with a phone call and texted me details of their services. We met up with Ryan at their office for a further in-depth discussion of services and booked with them straight away for DJ/MC, lighting, and a photo booth. And Debbie followed up with us in emails and phone calls to make sure they had our details down to a T. We gave Mike some Spotify playlists to work off of for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He had such a great vibe going on during the dinner and for dancing afterwards. The Carcano team was also able to accommodate our wedding space - not just the ceremony sound system and music, but also our weird indoor/outdoor dinner and dancing situation. Our guests also had fun with the photo booth. Fun props were provided and you could get a lot of prints. Overall, my husband and I had a fantastic experience working with the Carcano DJ team. We definitely recommend them to other couples out there! read more

Carcano DJ was absolutely incredible for mine and my wife's wedding. Mike, Debbie, and Ryan Carcano were all a pleasure to work with. Ryan was my point of contact leading up to the wedding and was extremely responsive and professional. He was so friendly for our in-person consultation as well as over the phone and made sure all our requests were met with ease. Mike, who was the DJ on our special evening, kept the dance floor rocking the whole time - nobody left the dance floor and our guests have been telling us since the wedding that they had the best time dancing at our wedding with Mike Carcano as DJ. His attention to detail, ability to read the room, and interaction with the crowd was so smooth and you can tell he's been in the business for years. Not to mention he was the DJ of my parent-in-law's wedding 28 years ago. I was so impressed with their DJ, lighting, and audiovisual services. I wanted to play a montage for a part in the reception which they were able to provide the screen as well as a stage and lighting for a special part in the reception as well. They are the one stop shop for DJ, audiovisual, and lighting to make your special event one to remember. I highly recommend Carcano DJ and look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you Carcano family! read more

The Carcanos were very friendly pleasant to talk with from the consultation meeting all through the wedding day. They were responsive, accommodating, and executed exactly what we asked for and more! We went with Ryan since he was more familiar with our audience's music preferences and he did not disappoint - we gave him a lot of different genres to work with and he did such a great job that we kept getting complimented on the music throughout the night. The cold sparklers were an awesome touch and he executed them perfectly. They truly made our dream wedding a reality and we absolutely recommend them for any event needs that you have. read more

You can't go wrong with the Carcano's! After two different cancellations due to Covid, we finally went forward with the wedding in December and we couldn't have had a more successful joyous FUN event. Debbie was so helpful, patient with all our last minute changes and requests and just an all around pleasure to work with. Ryan was the DJ and he was the perfect person for the wedding vibe. The music for the ceremony had to be just perfect and he made it hit every mark - just perfect. You need someone who can keep the flow going during the cocktail hour, dinner, party and the send off and Ryan kept everything rolling on time and kept the dance floor full the whole night. We also rented their gorgeous chairs (see photo). All around a great experience, great service, great people. Don't hesitate for a minute. read more

My husband and I are extremely happy with the our wedding, especially having Carcano DJ Audio Visual & Lighting as our vendor. Mike, his wife Debbie and son Ryan are a great family, very professional, but also know how to have fun and make a wedding memorable. The playlist for our wedding was PERFECT, definitely a reflection of my husband and I. Everyone danced the night away, no one ever wanted to leave the dance floor. Also Ryan made a special mix for my father/ daughter dance, that I had requested, which made it unforgettable. It was exactly what I wanted! Thank you Carcano DJ Audio Visual & Lighting from the bottom of our hearts. We had the wedding of our dreams! You all are truly amazing. Bryan & I wish you guys all the best & success.

I am so grateful we met Mike and Ryan at a bridal expo, because they were just wonderful! They were organized, easy to work with, and helped bring our wedding to life. We met with them a few weeks before the wedding to go over final details and I was impressed at how organized and professional they were. They had all my notes, requests, and answered all of my questions. I had full trust that they would be great at my wedding. On the day of my wedding, they arrived on time, set up everything as planned, and honestly ran the whole wedding. They kept my wedding on schedule and running. When it was time to dance, they seriously knew how to turn up. We requested EDM and they threw down the bangerz. We got so many compliments from our guests on our music and DJ. Thank you so much for making my wedding so fun and memorable! read more

I had my wedding on May 7, 2022 and let me start off by saying that our wedding was more than what we had expected and desired. Carcano DJ definitely surpassed our expectations and deserves more than 5 stars. Everything about the wedding was amazing; from the DJ, to the draping, to the lighting, to the sparklers, to the dry ice, and the white dance floor. Because of the Carcano family, we had the wedding of our dreams become a reality and we are truly grateful for what they have done for us. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how beautiful and fun our wedding was that night. Thank you Carcano family for your amazing and beautiful work. We will definitely love to work with you again in the future. read more

Wow!! The Carcano Family for sure knows how to make your event great! My daughter wanted a very classic, elegant garden wedding at Summit House in Fullerton, with no photo booth, no uplights, mostly candlelight. I was a little concerned that the evening might seem boring to some, however, I could not be more wrong. Ryan got all the music for the ceremony timing down perfectly! He totally understood the vibe she wanted and made the evening so fun that everyone, and I mean everyone, from children to grandparents had the most wonderful time. We rented their X-back chairs and they were so comfortable! It was definitely worth it! Between, Mike, Ryan, or Debbie, someone always responded quickly. I cannot imagine ever using anyone else for any type of event! They have an ability to read the room and know exactly what to do. It was amazing to watch Ryan in action! Thank you Ryan for using your talent to make our daughter's wedding so beautiful and fun!!!! read more

Highly recommend Carcano DJ Audio & Visual. They just did my wedding back on March 13, 2022 and it was more than I could have ever dreamed of.

I cannot recommend a better DJ than the Carcano team! They were amazing from the very beginning, super responsive and easy to work with. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day ever! The fact that they're a family business is an added plus for sure! Ryan was truly the best!! He even made our first dance edit from 2 songs that we wanted to use. Their lighting options were endless and what we chose added the perfect touches throughout our reception, we also had low level fog that made our first dance so magical and the CO2 gun was definitely a crowd pleaser and one of our favorites!! Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone has since raved that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to! 10/10 recommend using Carcano for your wedding or any upcoming event, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Thank you for being such a big part of our special day. You brought the party to our wedding! Honestly we were so happy with your work! We had such a blast.

What a great event we had for our school's 8th Grade Dinner Dance Party with Carcano DJ! Michael and Ryan were awesome and kept the party lively and upbeat!

We could not be happier with the job that Michael and Ryan (and Debbie behind the scenes) did for our wedding. Until the actual day, I don't think I realized how important a role the DJ plays in the whole day. From the pre-ceremony music, to the announcements during the reception, the mood of the dance floor, Michael really was pivotal in making sure everything ran smoothly all night long. So many of my guests commented on how great the music was, especially on the dance floor. I remember that before the wedding, I was just worried about making sure that people had as much fun as possible. "How do you make sure that people have fun?", I asked. The answer is, THE DJ. Michael and his team were experts at making sure people had fun. As an added bonus, he even sent us some videos from the dance floor that he took, free of charge! Honestly, you couldn't do better than this team. They were the best decision we made. read more

Michael Carcano was our wedding DJ and he was absolutely amazing! He and his wife make a great duo, from preparation before the wedding with a couple phone calls and reviewing preferences, to executing flawlessly on the big day. We would absolutely use Carcano DJ again for future events! It was really important to us that our wedding DJ "read the room" and kept the music and the party moving with the vibe of the group - we never wanted to have stale moments - and Michael absolutely delivered. The Carcano's were great to work with, very professional and well priced. We loved having them DJ our wedding! read more

Michael and his son were the DJs for my recent wedding and they were AMAZING! Everyone absolutely loved the music and is still talking about the party. When we met with Michael, we were immediately impressed by his professionalism, studio, and the amount of experience he had. He even played us an entire set right in his studio! If you're looking for an incredibly experienced and talented DJ - look no further. We would absolutely use Carcano DJs again. read more
