DeOndre did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding at the end of February. We found him through our coordinator, and we're so glad we did! All of his communication before our wedding day was incredible quick, and our two meetings with him were incredibly thorough. He did a great job at explaining things we were unsure of, and he had great recommendations regarding timing and pacing of our wedding day. Our wedding day ran incredible smoothly, and he did a great job of adapting and being flexible even when our open mic speeches went over the time we had planned for. Music all night was great! You'd be in good hands booking with Dre Motion Entertainment! read more

Do not hesitate to book DeOndre!!! He is truly the best. From start to finish, he had the perfect balance of keeping the energy high, reading the room, and making sure everything flowed seamlessly. The music was such an important part of our night, and he absolutely nailed it. Every song was exactly what we needed in that moment. He is not only an incredible DJ but also has the perfect voice and professionalism to be the perfect MC. He pays attention to detail to make sure you stay on track with your timeline. He also plans the day with you before the wedding to make everything as stress free as possible. I wanted to do a father/daughter dance with multiple songs. DeOndre took the time to mix a special song and it turned out PERFECT!!! Guests are still talking about it. So many of our guests have already told us how much fun they had on the dance floor, and we couldn't agree more. Deondre truly helped make the night unforgettable for us and everyone else who attended our wedding. We were so grateful he was a part of our big day! read more

For those of you shopping around for a DJ/MC for your wedding day or other special event, let me save you the hassle...If DeOndre is available for your date, stop what you are doing right now and book him. Don't think, just do it. Seriously, he's that good! DeOndre is a professional in the truest sense of the term. He's worth every penny and will make your day unforgettable. He listened to all our concerns and respected all of our wishes when it came to our introduction and unconventional song selections. He's kind, sincere, and genuinely wants to make your event the best it can be. I know he did for us! Our wedding was on the smaller side but DeOndre killed it with his playlist that was curated perfectly to our taste. He kept the dance floor lit all night and never eased up. We can't thank you enough for helping make our wedding the best day ever DeOndre....Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

Working with DeOndre to plan our wedding was great. He was easy to get a hold off and was very personable in our calls together. He communicated all necessary steps and details in an easy-to-understand format and made us feel comfortable with our to-do list. His online portal also makes it easy to keep track and input details about the wedding and music selection. During the wedding, DeOndre was a great MC and he also read the crowd and adjusted his music accordingly during our late night dancing. He kept the energy up and everyone was having a great time dancing! Thank you for keeping our guests entertained and ensuring all necessary audio was queued correctly! read more

Deondre was my wedding DJ and MC that took place June 2023 (last week)! My girlfriend at the time (now wife) attended the Bridal Bazaar a few years ago and Deondre caught her attention because of a nice mix that he did between two songs. The two songs that he mixed was "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen and "Cheerleader" - Omi. Such a great mix and it really sold her on choosing him as our DJ for our special day. Deondre was very professional and accommodating throughout our planning that took about 2-3 years. Email was our main avenue of communication and Dre was professional, genuine, and understanding throughout the entire process. The best part was my surprise that I wanted to hold for my wife at our wedding reception. It was difficult because I had to keep it secret and also, I added this a bit last minute about 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding event. I wasn't sure if this performance was going to be possible, but thankfully, we were able to organize it together alongside the coordinator. He was able to provide me with the mic stands and other equipment needed for my performance and it turned out literally like a movie. So thank you Dre for doing that for me. I HIGHLY recommend Deondre and I can't wait to have another event with him again in the future. His music selection was great. We were also able to create a playlist of songs that were our personal requests that we wanted to play during our open dance floor. He offers great options on who can requests it during his set, but we opted for OUR requests only and to ignore everyone else :) -- because you know, things happen so fast during a reception so great songs are a must. And the songs choice that were played really showcased my wife and I's personality and people loved it. Dre, I thank you so much once again for such a splendid and unforgettable event. I have heard many DJ's in my lifetime, but Dre's effort and respect he has for his craft is second to none. Thank you for being a part of my forever and I hope to see you again soon. STOP READING THIS NOW! GO BOOK HIM! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I are still over the moon from our wedding a few weeks ago and we are so happy that we hired Deondre! He has the most vibrant and fun personality that will get the crowd bustin a move! We greatly appreciated how efficient he was in responding to emails and most importantly being so accommodating just a few days before the wedding. His website is easy to navigate and we were thoroughly impressed with the mixes he has which had a big influence on us hiring him. We enjoyed listening to his mixes while working on other wedding planning details! Another trait that we admired about Deondre is his attention to detail. He took the time to really get to know us and what we like. For example, we mentioned that we're big fans of 90's pop and Disney and one of the songs he played at the reception was "I to I" by Tevin Campbell (The Goofy Movie), this blew us out of the water as it is one of our favorite Disney movies. His customer service skills exceeded our expectations and more. When we met with him over zoom, our first impression of him is that he has such a great, positive aura that made us feel very comfortable with him. He exudes confidence, is talented and passionate about what he does and it is truly reflected in his work. When we met Deondre in person the day of the wedding, he was dressed to the 9's! His outfit complemented his personality, professional, organized and very stylish. We didn't get to attend much of our cocktail hour but after hearing our requested violin covers on friend's Instagram stories, I felt overwhelmed with joy. Our venue was at Scripps Seaside Forum so the views of La Jolla Shores accompanied with sweet soothing violin covers was the icing on the cake. We cannot thank Deondre enough for executing the most ideal wedding atmosphere while getting our wedding guests pumped up! Thank you for everything Deondre! read more

Deondre was absolutely amazing! From our very first meeting, my husband and I felt confident that he truly understood the vibe and energy we wanted to create for our friends and family. Deondre was the captain of every special moment throughout our wedding day. From the start of the ceremony to our last dance, he provided the perfect music and atmosphere. Everyone stayed on the dance floor all night! He skillfully played and transitioned between every song. So many tears, laughs, and smiles were shared on the dance floor, and Deondre was instrumental in leading all of those special moments. There are not enough thank yous I can give to Deondre, but I am truly, from the bottom of my heart, so thankful! read more

Booking DeOndre for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! DeOndre was such a pleasure to work with from the first point of contact all the way up to the event. He took the time to get to know us and our taste in music and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. My husband and I were clueless when it came to weddings and DeOndre made the entire process seamless and stress free, he made sure everything was perfectly suited for us. We have gotten countless compliments on how great the music at our reception was and we couldn't be happier with the vibe he set for the whole night! read more

DeOndre was hands down the best DJ we could've had for our wedding. His playlist he used was the reason our dance floor was PACKED the entire night. We had numerous people come up to us during and after our wedding saying he was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding. Words can't describe how thankful we are! read more

DeOndre was an exceptional wedding DJ. He met with us multiple times in advance to get a feel for the types of music we wanted played during each phase of the wedding. He was also aware of the varying music tastes and collection of generations present at the wedding. With all of this in mind, he nailed it. We received so many (undeserved) compliments for how well he did mixing music, engaging with the crowd, and bringing positive energy. In reality, guests should have been complimenting him directly. One of the things we asked him about early on, was whether he would feel comfortable and happy in this setting. We all know the weddings where the DJ is standing alone at the table looking bored and lonely. Well, according to our friends and family, you would have thought DeOndre was having just as much fun as us. We appreciated all of his efforts. Unfortunately, we can't give higher than 5 stars. read more

Best DJ ever! Working with DeOndre was amazing from start to finish and we were blown away his performance the night of our wedding. He really was able to cultivate the vibe we wanted throughout the entire night and kept everyone dancing until the last second! read more

Deondre was AMAZING!!! Our friends are former wedding photographers in San Diego and recommended him. I knew from our first initial call he was going to be great. He's very knowledgeable about all different genres of music and how to blend them well. He helped give us some direction and gave us his opinion when needed to make sure our ceremony and reception music went smoothly. He is very organized, replies on time, and has the best presence on the dance floor. 10/10 recommend! All good vibes! read more

First off, one of the top things that was important for me for our wedding was the music! My now husband and I loveeee music, so choosing a the right DJ was super important to us! DeOndre was amazzzinggg!!!! He was our DJ/Emcee at our wedding this past November! From the time I schedule the appointment to meet with him till the very end of the reception, DeOndre was on point! He was so professional, fun, and sooo great at what he does! In our first meeting he was getting to know me and what type of music I liked and what I was hoping the vibe to be like at the reception...a few minutes later..BOOM! He mixed on the spot exactly what I was hoping for! Our ceremony and reception were in two different locations, and DeOndre took care of both! He was so organized and knew the schedule so well! All the songs we chose were played exactly when they needed to. We also added the light features and GOBO to our reception which was sooooo fun! It made everything look so great! The lights changed with the dancing, and the GOBO shown beautifully on our dance floor! We definitely recommend DeOndre for your next event!! He takes partying to the next level!! You won't regret it!! read more

If you're looking for a TASTEFUL yet CLUB-WORTHY, TALENTED DJ for your wedding, DeOndre is IT! There are too many mediocre wedding DJs out there. Most people think they can put on a playlist, hang up some lights, say some names and call it a day. But if you want someone who will really put the time & effort to blow you & your guests away, look no further! DeOndre is not like any other wedding DJ you will ever find! I have so many great things to say about DeOndre that this review is quite lengthy, but I've tried to divide them up for quick & easy reading! WHY DJ DREMOTION: He is EDUCATED. Not only does he come from a family of musicians, but he has STUDIED MUSIC himself. This allows him to BLEND SONGS FLAWLESSLY! He also STUDIED RADIO. His VOICE is SHOW-WORTHY! This means when he says your name, you will feel like the STAR OF THE SHOW! He actually DJs. He doesn't just put a playlist on a computer, he actually MIXES! He is EXPERIENCED. He was part of a company where he became one of the most requested DJs before deciding to go solo. He CARES! He cares about ALL the DETAILS that go into a wedding+reception and it SHOWS! You can tell he truly LOVES what he does! HOW WE FOUND HIM: When we realized we couldn't nor did we want to hire a family-friend for a DJ, I quickly began the search for a wedding DJ. I looked over all the TOP-RATED DJs on Yelp, but there was one review that led me to DeOndre. Someone actually rated their DJ poorly and said if they could do it again, they would hire the DJ who did their friend's wedding - DeOndre Essex, a.k.a. DJ DreMotion. Curiosity led me to research his name and I saw nothing but rave reviews. A few days later, I realized he was actually one of the top RECOMMENDED VENDORS from our WEDDING PLANNER! Talk about MEANT TO BE! We felt so lucky that he was still available only 6 months until our wedding! HOW WE KNEW HE WAS THE ONE: His website has plenty of impressive samples of him at actual weddings. My husband also found a clip of him coming out on the dance floor getting the crowd pumped! At our first meeting, DeOndre made us a mini-mix ON THE SPOT! All he did was ask for our favorite genres and as he talked with us, he created a mix in FIVE MINUTES (maybe less!) and it was PHENOMENAL! He had ALL the songs we LOVED and he mixed them so smoothly! PRE-WEDDING: Remember how I mentioned he blends songs flawlessly? Well this came in handy for our choreographed dance! We took dance lessons and their studio has a person who cuts & edits music complimentary. Well DeOndre does this as well. But the person who cut the music at the dance studio did such a mediocre job in comparison to DeOndre. When DeOndre CUTS & EDITS music, he doesn't just fade out one song and start another (which is what the dance studio did). He even gave us 2 options to choose from and we didn't give him songs that were easy to blend! Still, the first slow song FLOWED so nicely into the next upbeat song! I only wish I could attach a sample so you could hear it! His website makes it so easy to plan everything! He even has a spot for your guests to make SONG REQUESTS, if you allow them to! A month before our wedding, he called us to make sure he got the PRONUNCIATION of EVERYONE'S NAMES correct! I don't know about you but I've seen one too many weddings where the DJ just butchered the wedding party's names! He also made sure we had songs for ALL the little details that I didn't even think about (I almost forgot we needed a cake-cutting song)! OUR WEDDING DAY RECEPTION: Before our grand entrance, DeOndre checked AGAIN with the wedding party that he was about to PRONOUNCE everyone's name correctly! He truly CARES! Everyone at our reception LOVED HIM! Because of his showmanship, a lot of people said it was probably the MOST FUN WEDDING they had ever been to! And we honestly did not do anything else fancy (ie. we used our venue's banquet chairs)! Our dance floor was NEVER empty! Even the KIDS danced ALL NIGHT! He actually did COME OUT from behind his table and showed us all how to do the CUPID SHUFFLE! He also showed us another dance later that I forgot, but the point is he came out more than once! What kind of DJ actually dares to go outside his box and dance with you!? We were sad our venue required us to leave so early! We would've danced 'til dawn! But it's probably a good thing we ended early because I didn't realize how much my feet hurt until the lights came back on and I realized I had blisters on my feet! It was so worth it though! We can't thank you enough, DeOndre, for making our wedding reception a NIGHT WE WON'T FORGET! We all couldn't stop talking about how much FUN we had! We're still talking about it over a month later! I'm hoping my brother & his fiance will hire you too, so hopefully this won't be the last time we experience you as the DJ! FINAL NOTE: HIRE HIM NOW! You won't regret it! :D read more

This review is long overdue as our wedding was August 2021, but I wanted to make sure it was known to anyone looking for a DJ the DeOndre is your guy! He came highly recommended from our venue, and after a quick FaceTime call with him both my hubby and I knew we didn't need to look any further. I come from a Hispanic family that loves to dance so long as the music is good, and he did not disappoint. He took on the task of playing a traditional New Mexican wedding song and was introduced to the tradition and happily did so. Our wedding day wouldn't have been as fun without him! read more

DeOndre was an outstanding DJ/Emcee for our wedding! We found him through attending another wedding and are so glad we did. From start to finish he was professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure he gave us the best experience possible. You can tell he has a deep appreciation for music and creating a great atmosphere. His music choices were on point and he had all the intangibles to make our guests feel welcome and excited to hit the dance floor. We have had multiple people ask for him to DJ at their events based on the positive experience at our wedding. Highly recommend! read more

DeOndre lit up the dance floor all night long! His knack for reading the crowd and curating the perfect mix of songs kept everyone on their feet. His infectious energy and enthusiasm effortlessly blended our song requests and special moments into the reception. Our guests had an absolute blast, and we couldn't have asked for a better entertainment experience. We highly recommend extending your time at the venue and adding extra hours with DJ Dre because our guests simply didn't want the party to end! read more

DJ DeOndre Essex of Dre Motion Entertainment was such an incredible part of our event! In addition to the initial call, we had 1 planning phone call to go over all of the details we submitted to the form on his website and he took care of everything from there. He's incredibly professional - he's more than a DJ. He's a performer and really is able to adjust to the style and tone of your event. We also utilized his lighting services. We did uplighting throughout the reception ballroom and pinpoint lighting on our cake. It was all perfect and we highly recommend using him for lighting because he basically sets the entire mood with his lights/sounds. We went through all the details by completing a detailed form to provide him with a lot of information about us, our bridal party, and our preferences. He then took that information and was able to put together an incredible flow for our event, including introductions, announcements, reception traditions (like bouquet toss), etc. He's thorough and will give you examples of different tones he can use for intros, etc. and he'll be as involved in getting your party going as you want. You'll also get a client login to his website where you can make song selections and another login for your guests to make requests ahead of time (we included the link on our wedding website/RSVP page). ALL of our guests commented how awesome he was and how good our music was. Months later, we're still having people tell us how much fun they had dancing at our reception and that's all because of DeOndre. We gave him a sense of what we liked but gave him the space to do his thing and he delivered! He's great at his craft, so let him get creative and you will not be disappointed. read more

I literally can only say the absolute BEST things about DeOndre! After our first conversation with him, we knew he had the same vision as us. DeOndre is extremely responsive and overall his customer service is phenomenal! The star of the show is his craft and being a great DJ! He took our ideas, as limited as they were, and executed flawlessly. From the guests entering the venue, to cocktail hour music, to the endless dancing on the dance floor, DeOndre had everyone captivated. I am still talking about how amazing the music was. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. When the end of the night came around, I was genuinely sad he had to stop playing. A DJ like no other!! I hope to cross paths with him again and use his skills in another setting! Thank you for everything DeOndre, I couldnt be more appreciative. read more

I recently got married and my husband and I are so happy to have had DeOndre as our DJ and emcee! He was very professional, organized and easy to work with leading up to our wedding and definitely came through on our wedding day. All of our guests complimented the music and what a great time they had! DeOndre was even able to get my modest, reserved and shy aunties out onto the dance floor which is a huge accomplishment!! He worked amazingly with our vendors and family members giving speeches in order to keep everything flowing nicely with our wedding timeline. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how great DeOndre was a month later! We would highly recommend DeOndre for any of your DJ and emcee needs! read more

DeOndre was absolutely amazing at our wedding! We had a black tie attire, wanting the wedding to transcend from elegant and sophisticated ambiance to a fun club worthy experience on the dance floor. And let me say he delivered to the highest expectation!! He was a lot more than just a DJ and helped set the mood the entire night from cocktail hour, dinner to dance floor. He presented the introductions and toasts so elegantly and also dressed absolutely remarkable! I had so many complements on how amazing he was! We wanted our guests to dance all night and that is what we got, people are still telling me it was the funnest wedding they've been to. His energy is everything you want when hosting a wedding! We also always had accessibility to him during our wedding planning, meeting with him twice in person and going through every detail throughout the process. And even a walk through at our wedding venue before hand. I'm so thankful for the most wonderful night he helped create! I can't wait to be at another event he hosts and DJ's at! I highly recommend him for all weddings and events!! read more

DeOndre was an amazing DJ at our wedding! He met with us several times to discuss the day's events to make sure he got everything right. He was extremely professional and did an incredible job day of, from the announcements to music. He even made great suggestions when we weren't sure what music or verbiage to go with for certain things. We highly recommend him for your next event! read more

DeOndre made our wedding day the best day of our lives-- did you hear that? ! He is impeccably organized and thoughtful to creating a blend of music that honors the hosts while also inspiring the guests. I didn't know it would be possible to dream up a playlist that spanned generations and varying tastes. People were dancing till we got kicked out of the venue, just the best!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you are looking for a DJ, please go with DeOndre :) you will not forget your special day read more

Book DJ Dre Motion aka, Deondre Essex NOW!!! Seriously, don't waste another second- he is THE absolute best in town! We gave him some ideas of what to play and he totally took those suggestions and ran with them and not to mention added a little bit of his spice to it too! On the very first day we met him, we told him our wedding goals, one of which was to have the entire dance floor packed as often as possible. He didn't let us down. We were so incredibly impressed by his attention to detail and how well he could read the energy of the crowd. The entire evening, the dance floor was flooded with people dancing the night away! My brother is a also a wedding DJ and he too thought that Deondre took it another level. My brother also couldn't stop talking about Deondre's amazing MC voice!! Thanks so much, Deondre for making our dream wedding a reality! read more

Deondre is the best!!! We are so glad we had him MC & DJ at our wedding. He was very professional, quick to respond to emails and did a great job on our big day. He listened to the kind of music we wanted during each part of our wedding and was totally spot on. I was nervous about having a small wedding (~60) and not being able to get people out on the dance floor, but he kept our guests energized and we ended up with a fun dance party! Could not recommend Deondre enough! read more

Seriously can you ask for anything else! Dre Motion is the entire package for any event! He definitely made our wedding a blast for us and our guests. Also very professional & great customer service!

Definitely made our wedding memorable. read more

If you are looking for an amazing DJ that is going to light up the dance floor and keep your guests dancing all night long DeOndre is your man!!! We cannot thank him enough for the phenomenal job he did and booking him was the best decision we ever made. Don't hesitate! Book the best DJ in San Diego!!! read more

Y'alllllllllllllllll. If you're looking for a Dj/MC/Hype man, Deondre is your man. We booked Deondre for our wedding in 2020 originally, after rescheduling a few times we ended up getting married 5/21/21 and we had the most wonderful night. The music was spot on, guests were dancing all night (and me let's be honest). He was a wonderful MC and really guided guests through the evening and worked with our planner to ensure our timeline was being met at all stages. We had a great mix of Latin music, edm, Hebrew/Persian and Russian music which is non small task to mix and Deondre did it masterfully. Cannot recommend him any more highly. He's exceptional at what he does and is a true pleasure to be around. 10000000/10 read more

My wife and I could not be happier with DJ DeOndre and Dre Motion Entertainment for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives. I knew from the day I interviewed him that he was our guy. He is a true professional through and through. Picking a DJ is probably the most important vendor selection of the wedding process and you can't go wrong with this man! He was extremely organized and process oriented, probably because of his military background, and he has veteran skills mixing music, with a big personality to make him the total package. The important details (song selections, flow of the event) were discussed beforehand, but he was able to feed off of the guest's energy during the moment and keep the party going. His online tool was so helpful while we were gearing up for the big day. He also allowed some customization, like using different "walk out" songs for each bridesmaid/groomsmen combo. He took control of the room as a true professional and made sure everyone left a sweaty mess from hitting the dance floor. Again, thank you DeOndre, and to anyone making the important choice of picking a DJ, look no further...he's the man! read more

We hired DeOndre for our wedding and are so glad we did. His level of detail from the interview call to the day of execution was flawless. He made us feel confident with what we should have expected day of and delivered as such. Our guests complimented his energy and his ability to mix one great song after another. Looking forward to working with him in the next event that we need a DJ for. Thanks DeOndre! read more

DeOndre was such an amazing DJ and emcee!! He kept our NYE wedding and party going all night!! We received so many compliments from our guests on how awesome the music was. We had a meeting a few weeks before the wedding to go over details and he had so many amazing ideas and recommendations. I highly recommend him to anyone! read more

Book him NOW, doesn't matter what the event is, book him!!! Deondre was beyond amazing!!! Super professional, sharp looking, on top of his game... oh and did I mention the best DJ-hypeman- wedding host you could possibly imagine!!! Deondre helped us pick the perfect songs, created custom uplighting to match the ambiance of the moment, got out on the dance floor with us and even he made us a custom ceremony blend and first dance mash up (and executed it flawlessly). He was also super easy to work with even in those hectic last days leading to the wedding. Overall, he kept the dance floor packed and really nailed the vibe of the entire day. I can't count the number of compliments we got about our wedding being the best and it absolutely was because of Deondre. He's the missing piece to your wedding/event you never knew you needed!! Seriously book him now what are you waiting for?!? read more

DeOndre was the absolute best in making sure we had the greatest entertainment at our wedding! I don't even know where to begin. He was committed to making sure the music and styles fit our personalities and kept the party going all night!! When we did the first meeting with him, after seeing his demo, it was a no brainer. Every meeting after that, and on the wedding day itself, he blew us all away. All our guests were complimenting us telling us we had THE best DJ they have ever seen. Trust me, if you're looking for someone who takes music seriously and is also able to host just as good, THIS IS YOUR GUY. He made our wedding so special, so epic, and 2 months later we are still getting comments about how our music was amazing. Put it this way, DeOndre is so good we have been trying to think of another reason to throw a party and book him just for fun. I can't recommend him more!!!!!! Thank you DeOndre for not only helping orchestrate the wedding of our dreams but for amping the party up and keeping it going ALL NIGHT. You are THE BEST!! read more

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding with DeOndre as our MC and DJ and we couldn't have asked for a better person to run the show. DeOndre was professional and extremely easy going. We had two video conferences (10 - 11 months before the wedding and one month before the wedding) to go over details. He was also present at our venue walk-through. DeOndre took time to get to know us and was patient to explain his client portal which was extremely easy to use. DeOndre understood our vision for the reception and executed flawlessly. My husband and I were specific with our song choices due to the fear of an empty dance floor so we went overboard with the song requests on DeOndre's website. We realized we wasted so much time and energy worrying about the music when all of our guests were on the dance floor having a blast. Again, DeOndre is a professional and he knows how to command the dance floor. He's attentive and knows the type of songs to keep the crowd going. Aside from the music, we used DeOndre's uplighting, spotlight for the cake and gobo lighting for our monogram which were all fantastic. DeOndre's experience far surpasses the slim 27 reviews on Yelp. He has a strong presence on Yelp with a different group in San Diego and all were positive reviews. So don't hesitate and book Dre Motion! Ps. We have a fear of MC's being overtly cheesy and old school. DeOndre was far from it. Our reception was lit AF all thanks to DeOndre. Check out his gram and you'll see. read more

DeOndre did an amazing job at our wedding! We had to switch our venue ONE day before the wedding due to the Malibu fires. DeOndre was more than accommodating. He arrived to our (new) venue ahead of time to check it out and see where he was going to set up. The sound during the ceremony was great! The music was GREAT! Everyone had a good time. My dad, a man that never dances in public got up and danced! It was a night that I'll remember forever! DeOndre, THANK YOU!! I would definitely recommend DeOndre for any event! read more

Amazing wedding DJ! We met DeOndre at a Bridal Bazaar and decided to speak to him but because it looked like he was having so much fun at his turntable! After performing a demo for us where he was mashing up hip-hop and Latin music, we couldn't stop smiling and hired him on the spot! DeOndre made the wedding a great experience, the energy was high and the dance floor was never empty the entire night! Great personality, fun to work with, and extremely organized - DeOndre effortlessly coordinated with all our vendors and led the ceremonies perfectly. All our guests loved him!

We had the pleasure of having DJ DeOndre as our wedding DJ and he did not disappoint. He made us feel comfortable, prepared, and well-cared for starting months before our wedding. The day of our wedding went smoothly and the music was exactly as we wanted and envisioned. He was the life of the party and the dance floor was packed the whole night! DeOndre was thoughtful, professional, and fun! He made our special day even more special and would recommend him to anyone having a wedding/event in the San Diego area. If we have an event that requires a DJ in the future, we are going straight to DeOndre. read more

My wife and I hired DeOndre for our wedding a few weeks ago. Let me just say, he exceeded all expectations from what i thought a wedding DJ could/would do. Being the groom, my biggest fear was something going wrong and my wife noticing, but from the minute DeOndre stepped onto the venue he took control and any worries about music, dancing, or overall flow were gone. It was very relieving to know someone had my back and wanted the night to be as special as i did. There is a reason why all of his reviews are all 5 stars! 100% recommend for weddings, or any type of event or party for that matter. He is energetic, personable, and extremely professional. Thank you DeOndre, it wouldn't have been the same without you! read more

Check him out!!! By far one of the best DJ's in SD! I'm so glad my husband and I booked him for our wedding. We knew we needed a crowd mover and someone who had a energetic/clear voice to introduce our wedding party as well as direct the crowd. We love Deondre for so many reasons, here are a few on the top of our heads: 1. Response time! He responds quickly via email where I don't have to sit around and wait. As you know with wedding last minute detail quick response is much appreciated. 2. Super Thorough! We met in person and went over all the songs we should pick, when it's played, which portion of the song etc. a couple weeks before the wedding, we video chatted to make sure he has all the details to make the day seamless and in deed it was! 3. At our first meeting, we mentioned what type of music we like with a few specific songs and guess what?! He went over to his table and showed us what he can do! And man my butt was itching to dance then and there lol! 4. Crowd mover! Not only did he get the crowd dancing, he even joined us on the dance floor to lead "the wobble" pretty awesome 5. Great voice! He announced everyone's name clearly with such energy! Ladies and Genta super important for your wedding 6. He's very kind/patient. Lord knows I can't make up my mind ever when it comes down to what I want. So let's just say I reached out to change a few things a few times, last minute and he delivered with no issues. Also, with his experience he has great recommendations if you need some help. 7. Intelligent uplighting! I was wth is that? Come wedding day I was like heck yes! Basically lighting that he can control, change through various colors and goes with the music. Really helps to set the mood Overall, had an amazing experience and wish we could have another wedding to have him DJ for us! Thank you Deondre!! It was a pleasure working with you! read more
