Preston is the BEST out there!!! From our first conversation, he was incredibly kind, professional,…read moreand patient--answering my millions of questions with total ease. He is super organized and has even the tiniest details thought out ahead of time, which made us feel so confident going into the big day. Our wedding itself was absolutely incredible. Preston kept everything running smoothly and made sure the timeline stayed on track without ever feeling rushed or forced. When it came to the reception, he kept the energy up, the dance floor packed, and the vibes so good all night long. He's also super flexible--here's just one example: the morning of the wedding, my dad asked if we could switch the father-daughter dance song to something different than we'd originally planned. I texted Preston and he instantly reassured me we could make it happen. My dad was so surprised and touched to hear the new song--it meant the world to us. We also changed around a few elements of the reception last-minute, and Preston rolled with it without missing a beat. He also provided a photobooth for our wedding, which our guests absolutely loved! It came with unlimited prints, a full table of fun real props (not just paper on sticks), and at the end, we received everything--gifs, photos, and prints--all neatly organized and separated. Such a fun bonus that made the night even more memorable. I can't recommend him highly enough for weddings or any event where you want the music and energy to shine. A quick note to other brides: one of the best things we did--and something I highly recommend--is adding a dedicated table for your vendors. It's such a small gesture, but it makes a huge impact. These incredible people (like Preston!) are on their feet for hours making sure your day goes perfectly, and giving them a seat and a real meal is a thoughtful way to say thank you. We got amazing feedback about it from our vendor team, and it truly helped everyone feel taken care of and supported. If you're still in the planning stage, definitely add this to your list--you won't regret it! Once I get some more pictures back, I'll add them in :)

It was a pleasure working with Preston A to Z. From our initial intake call to determine…read moreexpectations and alignment, to a thorough Google Doc template to ensure every moment was documented and assigned a song (as desired) in advance, to using our song list and melding it together with the perfect timing and transitions, Preston was truly a class act. He knows the roles of both DJ and sound engineer like the back of his hand, and provided great suggestions for how to make the evening go as smoothly and unobtrusively as possible (as it related to planned interruptions and announcements.) I recommend working with Preston to make any wedding and/or dance party a home run.

Okay, guys, Mark Huntzinger knows how to keep a party going…read more I have NEVER seen my friends and family dance so much in their lives. The dance floor was kickin' all night, and Mark managed to make an impression on pretty much everyone there. He contributed to our wedding perfectly, and truly do not think it would be been so fun if he was not there. Just, perfect. So, that's only part of it - that's right, there's more. Sure, the wedding day he's INCREDIBLE at what he does, but we cannot forgot all the fantastic advice, planning help and expertise he lends out the months before the wedding. My husband and I were totally clueless as to a proper timeline to a wedding, but Mark spelled it all out for us in black and white and made sure to give us great advice on "what works and what doesn't." This is clearly a man who knows his weddings, and I would recommend him to every single person I know. Seriously amazing work, at a ridiculous value for the money.

Mark was the DJ at our wedding in September. I can't say enough good things about Mark and his…read moretalents, which go way beyond just playing "DJ." My mother still talks about him and how he really made our wedding such a memorable and fun event. He looked at our reception as a whole and gave great advice on many aspects of planning that we might not have otherwise considered, and was willing to work with our budget. He is an engaging person, and kept everyone on the dance floor with different dancing games, but always stayed incredibly professional and unassuming, letting the wedding party and the couple be the focus. He was a huge part of making our big day run smoothly and on time, and the main reason that so many of our guests told us that it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to. I wish we could have that kind of party again! I would definitely recommend him to any friend getting married in San Diego.

I knew he was the person that was going to capture my vision and bring it to life and he definitely delivered. He produced a music video and skit for me that I shared with my guests at my reception which received an out pour of compliments. It was definitely unique and entertaining to say the least. He also produced my wedding documentary and high light video that I absolutely love watching over and over. He captured so many of the best moments and he really paid attention to the details and instructions I left with him and edited the video to my liking. Talk about real customization. He was easy and fun to work with and the communication was awesome. If you are you looking for the perfect person to capture your events memories? Look no further than Epic Affair.

Our Starlink dish died! Starlink sent a new unit, fantastic!…read more Our unit is mounted on the roof, my wife informed me that I will not be climbing on the roof to accomplish the mods for the new unit. I contacted Allen and made an appointment. Within the week he was there, he arrived early, he was able to use/adapt the existing mount and run the new cable via the existing route. My biggest concern was to not add new holes to my roof and my wall. Allen accomplished that goal. Allen was friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned his work area. Thank you so very much Allen (Allen Walker Entertainment) for installing our replacement Starlink system. You do great work and you are a pleasure to be around.

The first time I met Dennis it was clear he knew his stuff. I had a list of DJ's and even some…read moremeetings set and when I left I cancelled every one. He was the DJ at our August 2013 wedding and I couldn't be happier. The reason our night was as amazing as it turned out was in a large part due to Dennis. He is an incredible emcee and the night flowed so smoothly. There was never a dull moment. The thing that impressed me the most is that when my husband and I finally sat down at our sweetheart table he asked if he could get us a drink. SERIOUSLY?! Come on guys, that is rare and just seriously amazing. I had a few unique requests that didn't even phase Dennis! The most important to me was meshing two very different songs for my father/daughter dance. I wanted to dance to one song, more of a pop-type with my biological father and to a country song with my step dad, not an easy thing to mash-up! I also wanted the two to fade into each other and be cut down so the dance wouldn't be two full songs. The final product blew my mind, it was perfect. He even slowed down the country song so that it was more "danceable." The way he invited my step-dad out to the floor was classy and casual, it wasn't an awkward moment which was what I was concerned about. He absolutely did EXACTLY what I asked for. I got countless comments on the way the evening flowed. With Dennis you get way more than a DJ, he is an amazing emcee. So many people told me it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to. The music was SPOT on all night, it was a blast. The dance floor was constantly packed and even my older relatives were out there dancing because the music didn't alienate them. My husband and I told Dennis all we wanted was for people to have fun and dance, and they did all night. He found a way to satisfy everyone's music tastes (even though I like country, my husband likes reggae and my parents like classic rock!). Last minute we sprung for some up-lighting. It isn't my style to go outlandish and I was worried it would be too expensive, but I wanted the room to have a little something extra. Not only was the pricing totally reasonable, but Dennis actually made us a custom light color to match our accent color in the table linens. The room was bathed in a soft glow and looked absolutely perfect. He goes so far above and beyond what you'd expect from a run-of-the-mill DJ, and that's simply because he isn't one! (I don't think I'm being biased but) our wedding was hands down the most fun event I've ever been to and I think a large part of that is because of Dennis. He made us so comfortable and the night flowed perfectly because of his emcee talents. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for a DJ and book Dennis. You won't get one of those cheesy wanna-be comics trying to steal the stage from the couple. What you get is a truly professional DJ and emcee who REALLY knows his stuff (seriously just ask him for music suggestions and prepare to have your mind blown!).

We met Dennis at a bridal show in Del Mar. My husband actually ended up talking to him first while…read moreI was checking out Diesel Hair Salon (review on that too). We instantly liked his personality and he sounded like he knew his stuff. When we got home, we checked out his website, and I could tell my husband really liked the stuff he saw. We ended up scheduling an appointment with him to talk more details and to decide whether we would book him for our wedding in May. He was prompt, had sample music for us, and had great suggestions for music for the ceremony and the reception. I loved that he was so professional and organized and even had a wedding worksheet for us to fill out as homework to guide both him and us for what music should be played and how the night would be played out. We hired him and we are happy that we did. DJ Dennis is a REAL DJ. Not just one that plays a playlist from an iPod. We had a chance to see him spin during the dancing hour, and it was fun for us and our guests to watch. He had a great feel for crowd and had everyone dancing, young (6 years old) and old (80 years old)!!! Thanks Dennis for helping make our wedding a memorable night! http://www.sandiegocreativemusicdjs.com/japanese-friendship-garden-wedding/

Hiring SounDesign Entertainment was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding!…read more Randy was so great at personalizing his services for exactly what we wanted. We met beforhand to talk about generalities, he drove up to San Clemente the night of the rehearsal to check out the site and test sound, then was on hand all day of the wedding for last-minute changes or requests. It was so great to have all of the music, equipment and lighting come from the same trusted vendor. He found a super obscure instrumental song for us, and played everything we wanted! He created a custom playlist for us, and didn't play anything "cheesy" or cliche (very important to me). He also knew exactly what to do to get everyone on the dance floor!
