Ohana Fest is an amazing event. I went to the third day of the 2025 event on Sunday with a good…read morefriend, and we had a blast. We arrived shortly after it opened since it was our first time at the event. We wanted to see and explore and experience all it had to offer. There are plenty of vendors offering samples, cool merch and even some free swag - like hats, bandannas, pins, sunglasses, towels, temporary tattoos and more. We sampled some food trucks and had a few fun beverages. The music was great: Green Day, Cage the Elephant, and James were all great. James was especially terrific. There were also a number of other cool bands that rocked the two stages. At the end, we were exhausted but looking forward to going back next year.

I arrived here at 3:45 PM today, September 26, 2025 and it was a madhouse! One of my girlfriends…read moreinvited me so I said why not. We had a lot of fun watching all the drunk people. There was so much alcohol and not a lot of food choices. The music was very loud. I think the best part was the art show, they have a lot of cool rock 'n' roll artifacts. The bathroom situation sucked, lines forever, I had to use the outhouse, I'm so grossed out! it's better to just walk on the beach and listen to the music.

With the caveat of needing more blues acts than any other type of music, it is a fun event and you…read morecan't beat the location.

I have been to the Doheny Blues Festival several years and every year I have enjoyed it completely!…read more It's basically just a chill day/weekend to sit on a chair, lay on a blanket or walk around. There are 2 stages of music, food booths, vendor booths and a great view of the beach and surrounding Dana Point. Seems the weather has always cooperated each year that I've attended (and if it didn't, I enjoyed the day so much that I've forgotten!) I love that you've got an event card to just keep on yourself and so not worry about money. Parking is awful if you come late, thank goodness for taxis ($5/person to drop you off closer to the main entrance... and $5/person to drop you off at your car door). A few years I've stayed at a motel/hotel during the event... THAT is the way to do it! Whether headliners are big names or not, the music never fails. Because of this festival I've become fans of some musicians and bands that I may never have heard of otherwise. Blues is amazing when heard live!! I'll always go back the the Blues Festival... made great friends, heard great music and had a great time every time! CHEERS!!!

Effren is the perfect wedding DJ. A huge part of what we appreciated most was everything *before*…read morethe day-of. It was clear from the intro call that Effren was a professional, and he gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly from the get-go. It was easy to work with him to arrange the schedule for the day, songs where we wanted them, and realistic timing. Our friends and family (let's be honest, mostly friends) had a few more off-the-wall selections that Effren both had available and incorporated into the event perfectly--all while keeping things diplomatic for the true no-play list. Indeed, day-of, Effren exudes the calm confidence of someone who has done this many, many times, and brings some much-needed zen to a chaotic day. He's a great emcee, DJ, and a person you will be glad was a part of your wedding day. Thanks Effren!

I was nervous about finding the right DJ for my wedding, because I know the DJ/MC can make or break…read morethe energy of the event. But from from our first call to wedding day, working with Effren was absolute pleasure! His talent and genuine passion for what he does is so evident and his fun, bright energy during our calls were some of my favorite moments during wedding planning. He encouraged us select music that reflected who we were as a couple, but he made sure to let us know not to over-stress as he could work with whatever level of guidance we gave him. Many of my close friends also DJ so it was important to me that I found someone that would impress my crew - and he really delivered! He is intuitive, adaptable, knows how to read the room, and has the cool factor you want in a DJ :) His MC skills were also very on point. Everything went super smoothly. If you want to work with a real professional he's your guy. So grateful he was part of our big day!
