My wife and I booked Christian (Afterburn Productions) for our wedding reception in early June and…read morecould not have been happier. We got married in Hawaii and came back to the mainland to have a big reception with all our family and friends. With Christian's enthusiasm, he practically took control of the whole event - even things he knew he didn't have to do but wanted to. That was important to us and oh so helpful on the day of the event. He completely came through with everything we agreed on and then some. He did our lighting, the MC/DJ'ing, etc, etc. Even coordinated with all the other vendors we had going that day to make sure everything was just perfect for us. He Simply amazing. If you're looking for the absolute best DJ in all of Southern California, Afterburn is it. Want to ask me more questions about how well of a job Afterburn does, just contact me and I'll be more than happy to talk to you about it.

This review is long overdue, but I highly recommend Christian. I'm a DJ myself and I'm also a Yelp…read moreElite (currently 4 years in a row)... so I hope that speaks to my own credibility here, at least a little. As a DJ, I had a strong sense of what music I wanted including what a good DJ is versus a bad one. Plus, music was one of the few major wedding planning responsibilities I was given, other than showing up both on time and dressed properly :) Let's just say, I did not want to screw this up by hiring a lame DJ. Anyway, it was a few years ago... a perfect day in Malibu... and Christian arrived on time and ready. He has a system for working with his clients, which definitely influenced me in realizing how organized I need to be when preparing for a serious gig like a wedding. Christian has the experience and that allowed me to worry about one less thing on my wedding day. Like most cases, I think success heavily depends on communication and Christian always responded to all of my emails in a timely manner. One of our biggest concerns was for the reception to be fun, not drag on slowly like many do, and for everyone to enjoy themselves and dance!! He definitely met that expectation with great song selections, solid mixing (not abrupt stop/play or non-beat matched transitions.. one of my DJ pet peeves), and professional MCing (not cheesy) that helped lead the party along the planned timeline. The dance floor was filled all night! Finally, Christian will go above and beyond if need be. One example I clearly remember is when the projector screen became unstable due to the increase in wind (outdoor reception) and Christian jumped right behind it to keep it propped up (for the entire slideshow). How awesome is that?

Ovation Entertainment and Dj Mike did such an incredible job on our wedding! There were so many…read moretimes my fiancé and I were feeling overwhelmed and stressed during wedding planning, but every time we had a meeting with Mike, we always felt energized, accomplished, and excited again. Mike is very responsive, professional, and organized. Mike helped us plan out the timing of our events and recommended the perfect songs for moments where we hadn't yet figured out which songs to play. Mike even helped suggest non-music related things for us, like certain pictures we should have our photographer capture (we followed his recommendations and love those shots, btw.) Ovation's online portal is easy to fill out and add songs to. When it came to the actual wedding, Ovation did a great job at engaging the crowd and getting people to get on the dance floor. We'd recommend them to anyone!

When I left I was so relieved and felt a weight off of my shoulders, wedding planning is a lot. I received a quote a few days later and couldn't believe the price for delivery. The delivery was $300+ more than what my rentals were, and they do not help set anything up. I was told they would put the tables and chairs where they need to go but everything else, glasses and flatware would be in their crates and need to be set up by someone else. Same for pick up. You'd think for $1700 they would do that for you. There's always a catch, just a heads up. My delivery window for my venue was 1-3PM and pick up 10-11PM.
