    DJ Hot Chocolate is the best DJ ever! I've had the pleasure of knowing him for close to a decade and he is definitely the life of the party! (in a good way) He doesn't steal focus from a couple but he gets it started so the fun continues. I've photographed many weddings where DJ Hot Chocolate was the DJ and the fun never stopped. I recommend him to all my clients when they say I want a fun energetic DJ who knows how to read a dance floor and just keeps my party going. Look no further! He really has a passion for music and he is the BEST choice for your wedding/event.

    Best DJ to have at your wedding! He has unmatchable energy and is just so fun! He definitely brought the party to our wedding. We met online several times before the wedding and it was a pleasure getting to know him and him us so that he knew exactly what we wanted to make our day that special. All the guests complimented him and just how awesome he is. 10/10 would recommend!

    THE BEST DJ IN NORTH COUNTY AND SAN DIEGO! I have known Hotchocolate "Israel" for five years. He knows how to read the vibe from the crowd and spin the best tunes ever. If you want to get your party on the dance floor, I highly recommend you hire Hotchocolate. He will also get on the dance floor with the party to synchronize dance moves also. I book Hotchocolate for each of my events at the popular Vintana Wine and Dine. The management at Vintana love him and so does our group. Remember to book early and often because he books up fast. If you need a reference, look up my Meetup group, North County Wine and Social page. There are several events you can see when Hotchocolate was our DJ. You may also contact me there and I will provide you with an "Outstanding" reference for Israel. Words can't describe how much we appreciate Hotchocolate. He is like a member of our family.

    We cannot say enough great things about Mark from Sterling Productions. From the very beginning,…read moreMark was professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand our vision, music preferences, and the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding, and he absolutely delivered. On the day of the wedding, Mark was exceptional. He kept everything running smoothly, made clear and confident announcements, and transitioned seamlessly between each part of the evening. His timing was perfect, from the ceremony and grand entrance to dinner and dancing, and he ensured the night flowed effortlessly. The music was spot on all night long. Mark read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor moving with an amazing mix that had everyone, from our friends to our families, out on the floor. We received so many compliments from our guests about how fun the music was and how great the DJ had been. What truly stood out was Mark's professionalism and calm presence. Knowing he had everything under control allowed us to completely relax and enjoy every moment of our day. He played a huge role in creating an energetic, fun, and memorable celebration, including mixing in some personal musical clips as a surprise to us, which was very sentimental and appreciated. If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and experienced wedding DJ, we highly recommend Mark and Sterling Productions. They exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day truly unforgettable. And don't forget to ask Mark to sing Sweet Caroline, it was a highlight to our guests.

His announcements were effortless, not overpowering, and he stuck strictly to the schedule (but was flexible when we fell behind schedule). We told him we wanted 2010 throwbacks but some oldie throwbacks in the beginning of the night for some of the older crowd that might go home early and he delivered on all fronts. We had a meeting with him a few weeks prior to go over all of the little details and he was extremely organized. He also did the speaker system for the ceremony and worked with our minister to make sure we had enough microphones and speakers for our crowd to hear. Everything was amazing and I can't recommend Miguel enough!!

He ended up being out of town that weekend, but kindly gave me a couple of recommendations. DJ C-Zer came highly recommended and returned my call right away. After checking out his website and seeing all the great ratings, I knew we were in good hands. From the start, he was easy to talk to and very professional. One suggestion he made that really stood out was to gather music from the family ahead of time, especially for the Filipino folk dances, so everything would flow seamlessly during the celebration. That extra step made a huge difference. On the day of the party, everything was amazing! The energy in the room was there immediately. From the introductions to the folk dancing, open dancing, and even singing and dancing around my aunt, the atmosphere was joyful and full of love. My aunt was absolutely beaming the whole time and felt so special. DJ C-Zer was fantastic at reading the room. Whenever guests started leaving the dance floor, he would quickly adjust the music and bring everyone right back. The dance floor stayed full all night! To close the evening, he played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "My Way'." Those heartfelt songs were the perfect ending to such a beautiful celebration. You could truly feel the love in the room. It felt like one big happy family, and DJ C-Zer helped make my aunt's 89th birthday a night we will always remember.

    We had the most amazing experience with Pacific Entertainment at our wedding at Twin Oaks Garden…read moreEstate! From the very beginning, the music set the tone perfectly, welcoming guests before the ceremony, creating the perfect vibe through cocktail hour, and keeping everything flowing seamlessly into dinner. One of our favorite moments was during dinner when guests started singing along and reminiscing about when certain songs were big hits, such a fun and unexpected way to bring everyone together! And then came the open dance floor... DJ Bryan absolutely crushed it. The dance floor was packed all night, the transitions were flawless, and the energy never stopped. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and make sure every generation was having the time of their lives. The photobooth was also a total hit; our guests couldn't get enough of it, and now we have tons of hilarious and heartfelt memories captured forever. Thanks to DJ Bryan and Pacific Entertainment, our wedding was fun, energetic, and unforgettable from start to finish. If you want the perfect soundtrack to your big day, this is the team to book!

We had several calls with John to make sure we had everything needed - and he was so patient and helpful. He kept our dance floor FULL all night and nailed our grand entrances, special dances, etc. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was. Additionally, we had a photobooth (which was a hit) and the phone/audio guestbook. We had the recordings just a few days after the wedding. Highly recommend adding this to your package, the recordings were amazing. If you're looking for a DJ/entertainment company that is talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making your wedding incredible, look no further. HIGHLY SUGGEST REQUESTING DJ JOHN!!

It was so great to have MULTIPLE people come up to us and compliment how good he was and the playlist. The dance floor was full the whole night! He was so kind and very detailed asking how long we wanted certain songs and hyped the crowd up perfectly for grand entrances. There was a particular moment my (now) husband and I remember where he played a classic throwback from the early 2000s and all of our guest including us went wild because we're millennials and we grew up on that music. He read the crowds energy and mashed up 3 songs to keep it going, playing the most memorable parts to sing along to instead of having the whole 3 songs where the energy might die. It was AMAZING! Going into wedding planning I had a fear of DJs because I have been to many weddings where the dance floor was empty because of poor song choices, microphone feedback during speeches, etc but he smashed it out of the park. Everything went so smoothly and couldn't have been better! I even forgot my bouquet as I was about to go down the aisle and he was on top of it immediately and seamlessly looped the processional song without anyone noticing a thing. Absolutely made our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We couldn't recommend someone more.

He really didn't need to since it was as if he could read our minds and act before we even mentioned anything. His attitude and demeanor was professional and incredibly friendly.

A lot of DJs we spoke with were focused on throwing a rager but glossed over details that mattered to us, like making sure we'd be heard clearly during the ceremony. In our calls with Chris, in addition to trying to get a feel for the music we wanted, he took the time to understand what we wanted and did not want on our big day, and made sure we felt secure with what was going to happen. It was such a huge relief when we first talked to him. In the planning process, we gave full input on dinner and dancing playlists, which was our preference, but it was also clear he would've curated an amazing set on his own. He helped set realistic expectations for how crowds ebb and flow on the dance floor so we didn't stress when fewer people were dancing at certain moments. And he did an awesome job taking a massive list of guest song requests we'd collected in Apple Music using it to rotate through different styles and requests to keep different groups of friends and family dancing. Chris was also receptive to our additional requests and executed them flawlessly throughout the day and night, like reminding guests to use the photobooth and sign our guestbook, giving intro speeches before the bride and groom's tosses, and helping us cut songs like the first dance and mother-son dances to be the right length. We had an amazing time dancing. And the company also provided a photobooth assistant who was super helpful and made sure our guests were able to smoothly use the booth.
