Matt did an incredible job not only DJing but also performing at our wedding. He was super thorough, walking through all our music preferences and was on top of including all our specific requests/adjusting the songs to seamlessly flow through the event. I received so many compliments from our guests on his guitar performance and it fit perfectly with the overall mood of the ceremony. Highly recommend Matt to anyone that wants a stellar performer, someone knowledgeable in event sound requirements, and overall nice guy that cares about making your event special. Thank you, Matt! read more

Matt is an all-star! As a former wedding planner, come bride to be, I knew exactly who I needed to hire for music and to keep the party going! As soon as my Fiance, now Husband, and I booked our venue, Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms Estate in Palm Springs, we knew that Matt would be our DJ. The venue, while absolutely picture-perfect has very specific sound ordinances. Matt was more than prepared for these challenges and had a great game plan ready for us the day of. Matt knows and loves music, so when we came to him with our very eclectic list of likes and dislikes he was on it. He read us without issue and knew what to add to our playlist and what not to. The day of the wedding was absolutely seamless. Matt knew what the crowd needed on the dance floor and read the room like a god of music. It was f'ing perfect! I cannot recommend Matt enough. If he is available for your date, don't hesitate to hire the man! You will not regret it! read more

DJ Matt was awesome at our wedding! From our first conversation, I could tell he was really passionate and knowledgable about music - he basically is a walking music history book. A couple weeks before the the big day, we had a call where we went through the timeline and Matt asked us how we felt about various genres. He had a lot of great recommendations and helped us as we finished our song selections. The day of the wedding could not have gone better.. the dance floor was active all night long and Matt was incredibly friendly. He even went up to us several times and offered to get us drinks! I can't recommend Matt enough. 10/10 read more

Matt rocked it at our wedding in Point Loma, CA. He was extremely helpful all the way up to the big day by offering great suggestions from everything to the flow of the music, to the best music to keep our guests on the dance floor when it came to that point. He worked closely with us throughout the process to make sure the music that played at the wedding matched our personalities. Matt was super personable throughout the wedding and very accomodating with any requests during the event. I would hands down choose Matt over anyone else for any wedding in the San Diego area! read more

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Matt. We hired Matt for our Palm Springs wedding and we're so happy we did. From the first meeting we had with Matt, we knew he was a total professional and truly listened to what music vibe we were going for for our special day. Throughout the planning process he was extremely helpful and provided great recommendations all the way through. At the wedding he did an AMAZING job, and we literally danced our asses off - which is exactly what we were going for! After the wedding our friends were asking us who this special DJ was and how our wedding music made for the absolute best dance party. Matt is warm, kind, and a total pro. We highly recommend him for weddings or any other special event! read more

DJ Matt was incredible! From the first interview we had with him, until the moment he played our last dance, we felt as if he truly cared about us and understood that he was contributing to one of the most important days of our lives. We are low key, reserved people, and at first were hesitant about hiring a DJ that would make it too much of a clubby scene. Before we had a chance to tell him so, he started introducing himself, and his vision for weddings matched closely to what we had in mind. We told him our vision, and not only did he not judge us, but he also totally understood and was happy to help us make our vision come true.After our interview with Matt, we looked at each other and both knew we wanted to hire him. There were other great candidates for sure, but we knew it in our gut after one call with Matt. Another great benefit of hiring Matt, is that he also provides the option to play live music. Although we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour, when he was playing live, we were able to listen in the background and he sounded great. He even learned a song we asked him about two weeks before the wedding and played it. He built the playlist around what genres we like and filled in songs to fit the vibe and the crowd. The night was so much fun. The music vibe made everyone feel happy and comfortable to dance. It was such a special moment when all of our family and friends dancing together. Throughout the entire night, we had so many guests come to tell us how amazing the DJ was. A guest who himself is a DJ told me "your DJ is great". We would frequently hear "oh I love this song!" from the crowd. We even had a guest come to tell us she was so impressed with the choice of prelude music. We will always cherish that Matt was part of our wedding. Last thing to say is, on the day of the wedding, he had such a friendly and comfortable vibe, and we could tell that he was genuinely happy to be there and celebrate with us.  DJ Matt is a great DJ and more importantly, a special person. Thank you, Matt! - T&J read more

Matt is the absolute most chill, non-cheesy DJ of all time. He was so easy to communicate with, listened to all of my and my now-husband's random music requests, and kept the atmosphere flowing smoothly throughout the night. He is very responsive to emails/questions, which I really appreciated, and kept our wedding music free of any Ed Sheeran! (Yeah Matt!) It was such a relief to have him at our wedding, he did an amazing job and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, talented, and friendly DJ for their big day. read more

Matt came recommended from our awesome wedding planner, Molly Starks. We spent roughly 9 months corresponding with Matt via Skype and email since we were flying into San Diego for our destination wedding. In short, Matt went above and beyond what any typical DJ would do. Throughout the planning phase, there were countless numbers of email exchanges to narrow down the music for our wedding. He provided us access to a national DJ website that allowed us to narrow our selection of music. The San Diego Wedding DJ website was essential in mitigating the frustration of having to do our own research to select the right song for the processional, recessional, first dance, father-daughter dance, etc. Anytime that we came across an crossroad, we could always count on Matt to provide sound advice. Matt was extremely accommodating in every sense of the word. My wife and I have careers that demand long hours which leaves us little time free time during the evenings. Matt understood this and adjusted his schedule time and time again to ensure that we stayed on track. A couple weeks before the wedding we had a hiccup with the pianist that we hired, therefore, we had to make some adjustments to our music selection. We had our hearts set on having live music play during the ceremony and for the processional. We asked Matt to learn how to play the song. He didn't disappoint. In fact, he made the moment that much more personal for us. One of the brides maids wanted to "rap" the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song. He accommodated her wishes and we have to admit that it was one of the highlights of the night. Matt provides various services that are not only top notch, but extremely affordable. He even applied a military discount for me. We interviewed several DJ's and we simply could not see ourselves with anyone else besides Matt. If a sense of professionalism, comfort, and security are a priority, Matt Phipps is your guy. read more

Matt is the best DJ in San Diego! Hands down! If you are still looking for a DJ your search might be over. It was fun to work with him from beginning to end. He schedules several consultations with you before the wedding to make sure everything is perfect. You can pick songs you like and dislike on his webpage, he writes down every detail of your wishes and really gets to know your music preferences. And he is probably the best equipped DJ in San Diego. He offers uplighting and intelligent lighting, monograms etc. We decided for all three and I have to say the intelligent lighting was incredible. That and Matt's incredible mix really made our reception. Our guests kept rocking on the dance floor until the very last song. Thank you Matt for making our wedding perfect! read more

DJ Matt Phipps was an incredible wedding DJ at my sister's wedding!! The music selection he played was perfect for the occasion, he kept the mood up and everyone was dancing all night long. He was also really great at giving the appropriate cues for all the dances, the bouquet toss, the maid of honor and best man speeches, he seriously did a fantastic job! Matt was friendly and professional and even lets you pick out a few "Must Play" songs that he'll play when you want him to. He has a great ear for making the moment more magical. Thank you for everything Matt Phipps! I'd highly recommend him to anyone, you won't regret it! read more

We got married on 9/21/2013 Hands down, Choice Entertainment's Matt Phipps made our Wedding as smooth as it possibly could be. We hired him based on a referral, and he did not fail to impress. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine excitement about his profession made him the best MC/DJ for our wedding. Going into hiring a Wedding DJ, it can be intimidating. Sure, most people will "have a friend that is a DJ", and they will do it cheap. DO NOT SKIMP ON A DJ. We found that there were a few levels of DJs out there in San Diego, and by far, Matt Phipps' Choice Entertainment is at the TOP. During the planning phase, he walked us through his whole setup, gave us many ideas and recommendations, and ultimately held our hands through the difficult task of selecting music/entrances/events for our evening. I trusted that Matt would make the best decisions off of his vibe that he was feeling for music, so we left much of the music selection to him, and we provided him with a few genres that we liked. I didn't hear one song that made me think "ugh, please change this song". For MCing, he has a clear, well-spoken voice. His sound setup with lapel microphones and stand up speakers were high quality, and I felt like our guests were in good hands for being able to hear us during the Ceremony and reception. He was able to get people onto the dance floor, and kept them moving there for the whole reception. His ability to read the crowd, and play the right music to keep the flow going was spot on! Even when the Catering company dropped the ball, Matt kept the vibe going as if everything was OK, to our guests. Matt made sure the whole event was seamless, and has had our guests talking to us about him on several occasions since our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend Choice Entertainment for your Wedding needs. I want to go to his next gig so I can just dance it up :D Thank you Matt, you really made our day special, and it wouldn't have turned out NEARLY as good as it did if it wasn't for your on-the-ball thinking, and ability to react. Immense gratitude doesn't begin to explain our feelings towards your company, Mr. Phipps. read more

I'm a wedding photographer and I've worked with tons of DJs but I've never seen a DJ more passionate and effective than the one and only MATT PHIPPS! He's also smart with timing and always know what song selection to play or announcement to make in order to keep the crowd going all night long! I get the best photos of people dancing and going crazy at the reception because of Matt! He also provides lots of other services and options. Matt is well worth your buck for a wedding DJ. He's so experienced in his years, super professional and always prepared. Best yet, he cares about his clients and works closely with other venders (like me) to make sure we're always ready for the next move at the wedding! Matt's the best, I love this DJ, and you'll be happy I'm sure =) read more

Matt is awesome! Our wedding was in June and the dance floor was packed all night. We were VERY picky about what DJ we would have because music is so important to us. Matt set our minds at ease the first time we met with him. He was professional yet personable, and he clearly had good taste in music. We were very impressed with his advanced online system- we got a login and could choose our songs from there... SO easy, and very efficient. He met with us multiple times prior to the wedding and even came out to the remote location to do a short walk through so that he could be 100% prepared. He played all the songs we wanted and was very flexible to any last minute changes we made. He was NOT cheesy whatsoever, and only spoke on the mic when it was absolutely necessary. He kept the party going! Thanks for the time of our lives Matt!! Casey & Brandon read more

We are so glad we found Matt!! We were referred to Matt from our wedding planner, Tres Chic Affairs. We got married at the Seaside forum in May 2019. During our initial questionnaire call with him, he gave us some incredible ideas that we actually decided to use on our wedding day. For example, an intimate cake cutting & anniversary dance which were a big hit. He reviewed my Spotify playlists, and totally understood the vibe we were going for and helped curate the mood the entire night. He was super chill, didn't talk to much and when he did it was perfect, and our guests kept raving about the classic Rock dinner jams! Thanks Matt for being so awesome!! read more

We met with a quite a few DJ's while trying to find the right person to DJ our wedding. We are both music people and it was important for us to hire someone that understood our musical taste, as well as someone who didn't come across as the "cheesy wedding DJ" type. As soon as we met with Matt, we knew we had found a DJ who embodied what we had in mind and hiring him was a must! Matt's knowledge of music is impressive. This came across in our first meeting when he dropped a few of our favorite indie bands, and we immediately hit it off! As we got closer to the wedding, we built or relationship and we were even able to seamlessly share our playlists via Spotify in order to get on the same page. A few other things that impressed us about Matt: I wanted to surprise my wife by playing our first dance to a vinyl version of the song, so when I asked him if he could play records with his equipment because, he jumped at the idea. I also needed Matt's help to create a surprise mash up for the Mother/Son dance, which he was stoked to work on and definitely worked to get the party started! Finally, he threw an epic party without the distracting announcements or goofy games, which was also very important to us. All in all, Matt was excellent to work with and was so excited to partner with us on executing our vision. He worked closely with out other vendors that night to ensure all executed seamlessly. The dance floor was packed all night! I would 100% recommend his services for anyone who's looking for a DJ who is a true music expert and who uses the music get people dancing, not his voice on the mic! His is a genuinely great person and we absolutely loved working with him! read more

We hired Matt for our wedding at The Thursday Club and could not have asked for a better DJ. From the start, he was super nice and accommodated our music requests while giving us suggestions on what songs would pair well and even helping us plan out our day-of timeline so our reception flowed better. We had about 3 hours of dancing at our wedding and it made me so happy to see that Matt had our guests on the dance floor for the majority of the night! He even worked with us to create a cohesive mix that would incorporate salsa and reggaeton for my Puerto Rican family, while still playing the classics and more modern music for our younger guests. It was the perfect night and we could not recommend Matt enough for helping to make our wedding one we'll never forget! read more

Hi All! If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding then you have found the best one in San Diego! FOR REALS!!! I first heard of Matt through my best friend. He was the DJ at her wedding. My best friend got married on New Years Eve and Matt was amazing! It definitely made me want to meet with him and talk about my wedding! After meeting with Matt in person and seeing his professionalism and attention to detail, my husband and I knew that we made the right choice! Matt is a one of a kind guy! He is really intelligent in his craft and honestly just a very nice and laid back person. When you are a stressed out bride, this is the type of DJ you want to work with! Matt was super helpful with helping my husband and I choose our music for our wedding ceremony. He helped us choose some great songs and I will never forget how beautiful our ceremony was and how much Matt added to that because of his music! Our reception, was unbelievably fun! Matt was able to keep the energy going even until the last song! We got so many compliments from our friends and family that our DJ was so good, and honestly I will tell you, HE IS THE BEST! So thank you again Matt!! You helped us make our wedding day unforgettable! read more

Matthew Phipps is the owner/operator of Choice Entertainment. I was referred to him by Kevin Thornton of Kevin's Bartending Services. I recently hired Matthew as the DJ for my birthday party . From the very beginning he was great. From our very first conversation I knew he was the guy for the job. He was excited about my party and in turn got me even more excited about my party. He kept in touch with me via email, asking me to put 75 songs into three catagories: Must Play Maybe Play Do NOT Play. Matt said that between the three catagories he can tell what type of music to play at the party. He was right, he hit my music profile dead on. On the day of the party Matt called me to let me know he was on his way to the venue so I wouldn't stress out. He set up and started playing within 20 minutes of arriving. Thankfully Matt is not one of those DJ's that constantly jabbers on into the Mr. Microphone and annoys the hell out of all the party goers...he just plays lots and lots of fun danceable music. I have never hired a DJ before so I was a total newbie at this but thankfully I found Matt. He was great, took requests from my guests and played music constantly the entire time. I can' t begin to say how many emails I have received from the guests to tell me how great the party was AND how much fun they had dancing. Matt was the key helped to make my party a true success. read more

Only had 4 mos to plan the wedding in San Diego and coming from Pasadena, i relied on Yelp and online reviews :) i am SO BLESSED to have found Matt on Yelp!! he's so easy to work with and replies right away!! My husband and i felt comfortable from the beginning(which is so important)! he was the first one we met with and never looked anywhere else! he absolutely rocked our wedding!!! i wasn't as organized as other brides and just gave him a gist of the songs we want to be played and he got them ALL! it was perfect! we actually met just thrice prior our wedding (45 mins max per meeting) and amazing how it all just fell into place on our wedding day! I highly recommend him :)) read more

We would give Matt 6 stars if possible! His passion for his craft was evident from our first meeting. I've had friends from our wedding ask for his contact or if he made playlists that they could listen to! We have an eclectic taste in music but Matt kept a perfect vibe in each phase from seating to cocktail hour to reception to *dance party*. His professionalism and initiative took a lot of stress out of our planning, and he did a fantastic job as MC, especially for the reception and traditional dances. I know DJs get tired after a couple years, but I hope that Matt will continue pursuing his passion for a long, long time because his talent and dedication *made* our wedding. read more

Matt is simply wonderful. We were lucky enough to not only have Matt there to DJ or ceremony and reception, but we had him and his beautiful wife singing throughout cocktail hour and for my father/daughter dance. It was so special and personal. Matt was such a joy to work with throughout the planning process. He is easy going, relatable and has a love for music. His website planning tools were so easy to work with as well. I had several people come up to me while they were eating and say they loved the music he had been playing and the dancing hadn't even started yet. We were dealing with rainy weather and had a lot of last min. changes. Matt was great through the process. Thank you Matt for making our wedding so much fun and being so flexible with us. My husband and I would recommend you over and over again! read more

As a photographer, I've worked at a couple events with Matt and he has always been amazing to work with. No matter the size of the wedding, he always gets the crowd going, creating an energy that is contagious! With the energy he brings, it has helped me get way better photographs of everyone. He is always professional, laid-back, flexible and fun to work with. read more

Matt was the DJ at our wedding!! He has now become a friend, and like family. We will never forget how extra special he made our day. I highly recommend this man! read more

DJ Matt was one of the best decisions we made with wedding planning! We live in Washington DC, but the wedding was in La Jolla. No problem, he met us in a Panera when we visted the summer before the wedding, calmly explaining all the little details, and asking all the questions to get to know us better as a couple and what our musical tastes are. Gay wedding, with pop diva music as a theme? NO PROBLEM, he was so excited about it and had some many great ideas. On the big day, so many little details I was anxious about, I had no reason to be. He mic'd the officiant, had mics for the readers, played music before the ceremony and as our recessional in coordination with live artists. Unlike some wedding DJ's, he did NOT make the reception about him, constantly giving needless commentary and cracking bad jokes, he was very low-key and stuck to the introductions and major announcements and such. People were dancing all night long, to the best music. Such a talented great guy, we're thrilled with our choice to hire him. read more

I would give Matt 10 stars if I could. And honestly, I am not sure where to begin. It is May 12th. Our wedding was 6 days ago... that is how excited I am to write this review. From the very beginning Matt was on it-- professional, kind, attentive. I did A LOT of research for DJs. Music was probably the MOST important thing for us. Matt was the ONLY DJ who responded with a personalized email that included a quote for our event as well as pictures. He even made recommendations as to what would work best. There were a lot of DJs that responded with their generic spheel and you could tell they didn't care. I think that may be the main difference-- Matt cares. I booked him immediately, and he insisted on a FaceTime meeting to get to know us. Again, he didn't treat us like we were just another bride and groom. He wanted to get to know us. During our call we told him how important music was for us and explained that we would like to be in control of the playlist.... no problem! Matt has an online portal that you can upload music to, and he was happy to take as much or as little direction as we wanted. He even took time in the following months to meet us at the venue and discuss lighting options (as we was providing up-lighting for us as well). Fast forward to our wedding... We gave Matt our final music list a week before the wedding. We even gave him the order we wanted the first and last half hour of music to be played in. His response, "I will deliver." I cannot even explain how happy that made me. And as for the night of the wedding... I have no words. We got so many "best wedding ever" comments that night, and our dance party was EPIC. I can honestly say that for three hours straight the dance floor was packed. We also opted for Matt's intelligent lighting. I HIGHLY recommend this. It was exactly the dance party vibe we wanted with absolutely NO "cheesy wedding" feel. We got so many great comments on the lighting as well. To sum Matt up-- he cares and he delivers. On our first walk through (A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE THE WEDDING) I told Matt how the only thing I wanted were covers over the uplights. I never told him again. I walked into the ballroom and there they were-- covers. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about him. I didn't have to check in with him. He didn't even call me when he arrived that day. He just showed up and did his job. And he EXCELS at his job. He took our music list and brought it to life, and his lighting recommendations were spot on and gave our wedding the exact feel we were going for. I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of Matt. I will continue to hire him and would highly recommend him to anyone. THANK YOU MATT!!! read more

We were married on 8/16/14. My wife and I met with a few DJs before we met with Matt. But from our first meeting we knew he was the guy for us. His passion and knowledge of music, his approach to being the emcee for our event and his planning process were a perfect match for our style. He was fun, knowledgeable and full of great ideas. His planning process was great and he had a lot of great suggestions for us to consider. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious in person and via email; he was great to work with from day one. Of course where it counted most was on our wedding day. Matt was there early, set up both the ceremony and reception site and everything was great. He worked great with our wedding planner and with our Officiant and everything went off without a hitch. Sound was great during the outdoor ceremony as he had the knowledge and experience to ensure his setup could counter the wind from a beach wedding. The reception itself was GREAT! Matt kept things flowing and everyone had a great time. He had a great command of the energy of the room; settling folks and setting up the 'events' and keeping everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night. He was very in charge in a good sense of the word to keep things flowing but you wouldn't know he was there from a loud-annoying way. He has a great balance for engaging folks but not making the event about him. Most of our guests were still at the reception and dancing up until the end. There were many disappointed faces when last dance and time to say good-bye to the newlyweds was announced as everyone was having such a great time. In short we can't recommend Matt enough. He is awesome and you'd be very lucky to work with him for any event. Thanks Matt for making our day wonderful! read more

Matt is a good guy, easy to work with, detail oriented. He thought of things we should add to our wedding playlist that we hadn't considered, and helped us weed out some things that wouldn't have fit. He came prepared, his equipment was ready to go, and he kept the show running on time. Great job. read more

Matt was our DJ for our wedding at the Martin Johnson House, and we were so glad we chose him. We really wanted a non-cheesy DJ, and he provided exactly that--he is NOT one of those DJ's who gabs into the mike all night, but is more of a quiet presence in the corner, doing his thing and rocking the dance floor. His planning layout within his website is so organized (his strong organization is actually one of the things that sold me on him in the first place), and because he has so much experience working at weddings, he is a wealth of knowledge on the traditional timeline and features of a wedding so he can really help you structure your day well. I did give him a LOT of music to work with, but he did a great job with it all and the dance floor was full. I would highly recommend Matt without reservation--super talented DJ and just overall a good person! read more

My husband and I were just married last weekend at Falkner Winery in Temecula and chose Matt Phipps as our DJ. He did an absolutely amazing job. From coordinating timelines to ensuring maximum dance time, Matt was a spectacular DJ. Knowing that he had everything under control made it so much easier for us to enjoy the night. All of our guests were very impressed with the music as well as the progression of the evening. We heard over and over again that our wedding was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. In fact, the music and ambiance were referred to as "epic" by more than one person. We definitely couldn't have pulled it off without Matt. But Matt isn't just a good DJ, he is also a really nice and approachable person. He met with us in person twice before the wedding and discussed our music tastes and preferences extensively. He also was great responding to emails and answering any questions we had. Originally, we had developed a timeline that didn't leave us too much time for dancing. Matt pointed this out and worked with us to create something that met and exceeded all of our needs. During the ceremony and reception, he made sure everything ran smoothly without seeming rushed or stressed. This definitely helped us maintain the same attitude all night while having fun and dancing like crazy! Thanks again, Matt. You definitely helped make our night an amazing one! read more

Matt was a pleasure to work with. He came highly recommended from our wedding planner due to his value, which was important to us. We locked him in about a year in advance. During the 3 months leading up to the wedding, we realized we would need his help for indoor lighting and sound amplification for our ceremony. Matt was very flexible and helped us get all of our needs met without breaking the bank. At the wedding, he was fantastic as well. Solid music throughout with a good dance party going. He also helped my husband think through some of our key songs, such as our exit and our "first guest dance song". I highly recommend Matt to anyone in San Diego! read more

I'm a wedding photographer and have worked with many DJs. Matt is one of the best! He obviously cares about providing his clients with a great experience on their wedding day. He's professional and experienced, but also creates a great & fun vibe for the party. read more

Hands-down this is one of the best DJs I have ever worked with. I am a fellow wedding vendor and have seen a ton of DJs, and he is a master of his craft. Matt is genuine and truly cares about his clients special day. He's methodical and puts a significant amount of thought into each wedding he services in getting to know the brides/grooms and thinking about creative ways to make the day special. I was quite impressed at the end of the night for the send off of the bride and groom, to learn with that was, you'll have to ask him yourself :). Amazing job Matt keep up the good work! read more

Choice Entertainment Wedding DJ - Matt at the oceanview room. All guests in attendance are on the dance floor! - DJs Near Me

We chose Matt to DJ at our wedding cocktail hour and reception at the Catamaran Resort in November. He was perfect! I met with him twice throughout the planning process and loved his online planning system. It was great for setting up play lists (and maybe even more important, do NOT play lists!). He was excellent at understanding our taste in music and choosing songs to go along with that and also keep the party going all night long. Matt did an amazing job of keeping to the schedule. I loved that he is not "cheesy" (we hired a DJ not a comedian), is tasteful with his setup (no advertising on his equipment or handing out business cards), and was the perfect volume (you don't want to have to wear earplugs at a wedding). He is great at mixing to transition from one song to another before you get bored of dancing to the first song. People liked him so much, they even started dancing during the "dinner" music :) He designed uplights to perfectly match our mint accent color and set the mood for our nautical wedding and even took the time to edit a song for my father-daughter dance so the first verse merged seamlessly with the last chorus. We have gotten so many compliments on the music at our wedding and it is all thanks to Matt! read more

Matt is awesome!! We seriously could not have found a better DJ. I am so thankful to my friend for referring us - we got to see him in action at her wedding and we knew he was going to be beyond perfect for ours. Matt is extremely organized and professional and kept in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding day. He was very attentive to what type of music we wanted (and didn't want) played at our wedding and did a great job helping us organize the whole flow of the event. He also had amazing ideas about where to place lighting to make the most of our venue. We couldn't have done it without him. :) read more

I learned of DJ Matt Phipps from when he DJ'd my sister's wedding. Three years later, I decided to contact him to DJ for my wedding because he was that great! He played all the music we wanted and kept everyone who attended engaged throughout the wedding. read more

We love Matt! He did a great job at our wedding. We got married at a rustic outdoor venue with some pretty rough terrain, so we knew it wouldn't be the easiest venue to lug a bunch of equipment around but the sound went off without a hitch. The ceremony sound was great and the reception music was exactly what we had asked for and more. During the planning process Matt made everything really easy on us. I didn't have to spend an hour explaining our taste in music and what we thought was cheesy - he got the vibe that we were going for right away. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a great DJ! read more

Can't say enough about Matt! He was the perfect DJ for our wedding. Prompt with email and phone responses from the get-go and met with us multiple times before the event. He was organized and clearly invested in playing the music we love. At the wedding, he read the crowd perfectly and his transitions were impressive to say the least. We recommend him whole heartedly! read more

Matt was the DJ at our wedding on August 20th, 2011, and we could not have been happier with his performance. Matt executed perfectly, keeping all of our guests entertained and keeping the whole reception on schedule throughout the evening, all at a very affordable and reasonable price! Matt spent many hours with us during the planning stages, and was quick to respond to all of our communications in the very timely manner. Matt uses a web-based tool to customize the music and the timeline for the whole wedding, which was very convenient and easy to use. We were able to choose the songs we want to play and not play, as well as pick the music for all of the specific activities (processional/recessionals, garter toss, etc.) from the comfort of your home and at your own pace, which was very convenient. Matt has an extensive collection of music, and what he doesn't have, he was willing to get or use our own music. Matt met with us several times before the wedding to discuss the specifics and work out the details. Matt also spent time with us to walk through the ceremony and reception sites beforehand to put us at ease and make sure no details were left out. Matt has at his disposal high-quality equipment. He was able to set up his wireless and cordless system, including battery-powered speakers and wireless microphones for our ceremony and cocktail hour, as both of those were outdoors for us. That worked out perfectly. Matt also used uplighting at our reception to complement the decorations, which worked out perfectly. Matt also created and used a custom-made monogram which he displayed on the dance floor, which was amazing! Matt's sound system was also flawless, just like the rest of his equipment. Matt also worked with us to customize toasts and accommodate some of our guests that incorporated visual presentations into their toasts. Matt stuck to our agreed plan for music selection, and played only the music that we wanted. He kept the guests entertained and the dance floor full of people throughout the night. We could not be happier with his service, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a very professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and affordable DJ. read more

DJ Matt Phipps is awesome! He is friendly, reliable, and makes the experience very stress free! We were able to set up a song request prior to the event which was a major draw to our group. His equipment setup was pretty simple, and great quality. I would recommend him for any size event. Our event was for a Navy command, and had over 600 guests. Hire Matt, and you won't regret it :) read more

We truly could not have asked for a better DJ! Matt DJ'd our wedding on 5/21/16 at Bandy Canyon Ranch in Escondido, CA. He kept the party going until midnight and none of our guests wanted to leave. They even asked him to play an additional song after our designated "last song" which he happily obliged. Everyone was on the dance floor, young and old - it was awesome! In addition to being an amazing DJ he was also super responsive during the whole planning process. My husband and I planned our wedding out of state so a lot of our communication was via email and skype. Matt was so responsive and we always felt very confident about having him manage the entertainment portion of our wedding. He also took care of the sound for our ceremony, which was spot on! And he helped us with a special request for our first dance song. I seriously cannot say enough great things about him. I would absolutely recommend him as a DJ to all my friends and family! Thank you Matt for helping to make our wedding day/night so memorable for us and our guests! Crystal & Mauricio read more
