Cheesy DJs belong in movies. And maybe other people's weddings. As a bride, the last thing I wanted…read morewas the whole chicken-dance, money-dance, hokey-pokey type of wedding DJ. Lucky for me, Dolce Entertainment was the polar opposite of that. Michelle Gregory, our wedding coordinator and the owner of the Jones Victorian Estate, works with Dolce a lot for her events. Gotta love referrals. So much easier than doing all the legwork yourself. Michelle gave Dolce all my contact info, and Lisa Muir at Dolce emailed me the paperwork a few months before our event. I was a real slacker when it came to getting back to her, but Lisa was very patient. She'd just email me occasionally to check in and ask if I had any questions for her. The planning guide she uses covers all the basics, including: -What genres of music you'd like played. -Which songs you want to use for all the special dances. -Names of all the parents and wedding party members for the introductions. -Which traditions you do and don't want to include in your reception, such as bouquet toss, garter toss, special dances, etc. -Special song requests and dedications. -And, most important of all if you ask me, the songs you absolutely DON'T want played under any circumstances. Lisa also includes a list of their most-requested songs to help give you ideas. (Since a lot of the popular stuff is pretty Top 40-focused, most of it wasn't really our style. But hey, if nothing else it can help you come up with the list of stuff you don't want played.) I finally got the completed planning guide back to Lisa after a couple months, and she didn't mind at all when I asked later on about requesting specific songs for the cake toss, cake cutting and last dance. My husband also spoke to Lisa over the phone just to go over a few things about our music preferences, make sure they had music for the hora, etc. I'm sure we could've scheduled an in-person meeting if we'd wanted to, but we never felt the need. Jon (Lisa's husband, I think) is the DJ part of Dolce Entertainment, and he was exactly what I was looking for in a DJ. He looked a little like a member of the Secret Service in his dark-suit, dark-glasses combo, but that was fine by me. Jon was very friendly and professional and did a great job of playing the type of music we liked throughout our event, including our specific song requests. He never tried to sneak in any country songs or silly theme dances, both of which we'd banned entirely from our playlist. And you know it's gotta be soooo tempting as a wedding DJ to take over and play what you want. All in all, if you're looking for a DJ who gets it and won't try to hijack your event and play obnoxious music you don't like, Dolce Entertainment is definitely worth a look.

We hired Jon Muir of Dolce for our wedding in Newport Beach and we were extremely happy with our…read morechoice, as he exceeded our expectations on the big day. The connection process was quite simple, as we filled out electronic forms about us and about our wedding day plans. We sent them over and then met Jon at a Starbucks about a month before our day. Our wedding planner was lagging in getting back to us so we were very thankful for Jon because he essentially set the timeline for our entire wedding ceremony and reception in that initial meeting. He has set playlists if you are not very particular about your music choices, as well as the ability to customize playlists if you know exactly what you want. He helped steer us in the right direction for appropriate playlists for before the ceremony, during the cocktail hour and during the dinner hour. He was also brilliant in adding in some fun extras to keep the guests entertained throughout the night. I'll save the details for him so as not to spoil them! With approximately 15 years (I believe that's what he told us), he definitely knows how to run the party. He is the timekeeper of the flow of the party and he has great instinct with knowing when to play certain types of music to ensure everyone keeps moving and enjoying themselves throughout the night. Our guests are still raving about what a fun party it was and how awesome the dance party was all night. He even stayed later than planned when we decided to extend the party for a little while longer. sidenote: I found out later that the power had gone out during the ceremony (we were married in a backyard at a private residence) but Jon had backup speakers and system in place and nobody ever knew, except for him and the wedding planner. This is also a kudos to him as this was the first wedding at this location, with multiple levels and he did great with the sound system reaching everyone. He definitely knows his business!

Booking with Location DJ was one of the best decisions I made. They were so easy to work with and made that part of wedding planning a breeze. I loved having the ability to create a "must play" list and a timeline of events all online. They have a great email system for reminders and follow up as well. The day of service was amazing! The Location DJ crew showed up on time set up the lights and sound system without a hitch. My venue had some restrictions for noise and how the speakers were to be set up and it was never an issue for Michael and his team. Everything was flawless! I would highly recommend Location DJ!!

There are so many services that are a complete guess whether or not the sound, lighting, decorations etc will actually turn out good. I can say without a doubt that our corporate party turned out amazing. Michael and the team planned everything from the start, were on time to the venue and had brand new equipment (we ordered sound equipment, DJ, lighting and trussing with uplights) that looked and sounded amazing. We have these guys already contracted to do all of our future events because I now know I can fully trust their amazing work and everything we ask for will go according to plan. If you have ever planned events, you know that everything that happens is a reflection on YOUR own planning and research to find good companies. Selfishly, these guys made me look good to my leadership team and I am thankful for that.

I will definitely consider him for future events!

We hired him for a live music package during cocktail hour and the guests said it was so special and a wonderful addition. The groom wanted to surprise the guests with a special performance of his own. He asked Adam if it was possible to use his equipment to play two songs during the reception. Adam was excited by this request and immediately jumped in to help support this special moment. Adam let us make a playlist for dinner, so the groom heard all his favorite songs. Our dance floor was filled ALL night long. We had these dog cut outs and people were dancing with them and he started to play Who Let the Dogs Out and it was such a great moment!

I am a Zumba Fitness Instructor and have been in the fitness industry for over 3 years, hosting many Masterclasses over that time. Every year in the month of October there is one event that stands out above the rest because it is a fundraising event in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. I have always used the same DJ for this event until he moved to the East Coast this year. As you can imagine I was worried about being able to find another DJ that I could trust to help me execute my vision for this important event through music, which is the entire focus of the party. Miguel eased my worry as soon as I spoke to him over the phone, he understood what I wanted to do and assured me he was the right man for the job. He was right! During the event, the music never stopped and the transitions were flawless, just as I had requested. I provided him the complete playlist and he played each song seamlessly and effortlessly. Miguel had great energy, style, attitude and demeanor and rocked the party with myself and the 2 other Instructors the entire duration of the event. We had over 150 people in attendance and everyone raved about Miguel after the event saying what a talented and cool DJ he was. I am so proud and honored to have had him at our Breast Cancer Awareness Masterclass and look forward to working with him again. If you are looking for a professional, hardworking DJ who absolutely knows his stuff and who will bring amazing sounds and memories to your event, call Miguel-- you will not be disappointed! Thank you Miguel for everything! Can't wait to work with you again for our next Masterclass! You're the best!
