DJ Li was amazing and 100% one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!…read more We had been searching for DJ for a while and couldn't find one we vibed well with until I found him on a wedding FB group. Immediately, we felt at ease with him. He was easy to communicate with and open to all our requests. The music list I had was quite diverse and he executed it with ease. We had one game that we played during our wedding that he hadn't been familiar with, yet he made it seem like he had been doing it for years. A DJ/MC can make or break a wedding. We've seen and heard of stories where they just don't execute or fall flat. With DJ Li, you can trust you are in good hands and guarantee you will have a great time! Our dance floor was filled the entire night and it was thanks to DJ Li!

I'd give DjKingLi 10 stars out of 5 if I could!…read more Li was hands down the best DJ/MC to hype up our small wedding of 50 guests. I posted on an online wedding group looking for an affordable DJ. We've never thrown a big event before, so I had no idea what to expect. Out of about 15-20 responses, DJ KingLi had the best energy. We messaged back and forth, with ease, finalizing all the details. Signed the contract and it was smooth sailing from there. The big day finally arrived and while we were scrambling to set up, Li quietly entered the venue and immediately started his set up. His energy and vibes were exactly what we were looking to have at our wedding. He knew how to feel out the crowd and did such an amazing job as our MC. He was so kind and engaging, we felt like he was part of the family. 6.22.23 was a day full of love and DJ KingLi was part of our dream team that made it oh so magical and serendipitous. Thank you Li. Looking forward to crossing paths again in the near future!!

We highly recommend hiring Thomas as your wedding DJ -- he's the perfect blend of professional and…read morepassionate. From the very beginning, Thomas was incredibly collaborative. He helped us shape our musical vision while offering thoughtful suggestions and music samples that we could accept or decline. We felt so supported and confident in his ability to bring the vibe we wanted to life. Thomas executed everything flawlessly. The ceremony audio was seamless, and the music paired with our reception slideshow (right before our grand entrance) sounded amazing. He truly elevated the atmosphere. Once the dance floor opened, it never emptied. It didn't even thin. His lighting setup made it feel like a club -- but filled with all our favorite people. Even family members who NEVER dance were out there having the time of their lives. Friends who are either DJs or work in the wedding industry had high praises for Thomas. Even some friends who got married before us wished they hired Thomas! The only hiccup was the music cutting out briefly during the very last song -- but honestly, it was such a minor blip in an otherwise incredible and memorable night. Thomas absolutely nailed it and helped make our celebration unforgettable. We're so grateful, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We recently hired Thomas Young from Above Average DJ Service for a fundraiser we hosted, and he was…read morefantastic from start to finish. Thomas showed up right on time, set up quickly and professionally, and was completely prepared before our first guests even arrived. That attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind. What impressed me most was how well Thomas read the crowd and tailored the music to exactly what we had envisioned. We had asked for a specific genre and vibe, and he nailed it--every song felt perfectly chosen for the atmosphere and the people in the room. Guests kept commenting on how great the music was and how smoothly the event flowed. Working with Thomas was stress-free, fun, and rewarding. He's reliable, talented, and clearly takes pride in his work. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat for any event, big or small.

My wedding was at the Grand Island Mansion and I wanted a DJ and photo booth person who knew the…read morespace well. Here comes Sylvan, who knew the place very well and knew how to set things up and play the right music at the right time. I didn't have to think about it and he took care of it without me having to stress. I designed the Photo Booth design (I wanted to), he was up for it. I gave him the list of music and songs I wanted, he did it. He cued the aisle song. Photo Booth quality was great and not fuzzy. That's all I wanted. He delivered amazingly!

Eugene and his brother are the best hype people in the Bay Area! We were referred to Macala…read moreEntertainment by our coordinator, Rosie at Rose to the Occasion. He was so funny and able to relate to our guests so well (since we're almost all Filipino). We have never seen any DJ/MC with so much energy and charisma. He was so popular, we had guests asking for business cards after the event. Preparation: We set up a call with Eugene and our coordinator, and went through the details of the event. Namely, trying to size up the "vibe" we were going for. It was a delight to sling words like "hyphy" or "Filipino time" when discussing this, it was like planning an event with friends except it was strictly professional. The music portal is easy to use, you can sort certain songs to most likely be played, might be played, and do not play. Eugene also accepts Spotify playlists, which I sent to him prior so they could gauge the type of music we wanted at the wedding. The music selection I sent isn't strict either, it's mostly a recommendation so he can prepare for the crowd at the event. Day-of: Eugene is spontaneous, funny, and charismatic. We had our itinerary, but I could never guess what he'd say to get us from one scheduled item to the next, nor how he'd fill the space in between. Eugene ensured the whole room was participating, up dancing, and having a great time. People were laughing, everyone (even the Lolas/grandmothers) was waving napkins in the air, hiccups (if any) were invisible and covered seamlessly, the entire night was a night to remember. For many, it was even their party of the year. Closing Remarks: Eugene and Macala Entertainment are a large part of why I consider my wedding day, to this day, to be the best day of my life. We highly recommend Eugene and Macala entertainment for all DJ/MC and hype man needs.

I have had the pleasure of working with Joe, owner of DeBorba Events for the past 5 years as I am…read morethe owner of Events by Rebecca! I've been a wedding planner even longer than that. Quite frankly it was a no brainer to hire him for my very own wedding this January. Joe consistently blows me away wedding after wedding... successfully DJing an event is SOOOOO much more than running a playlist. It's guiding the client in the planning process making sure they don't miss a single moment to have a special song play - joe did this beyond my expectation. Even as a professional I forgot so many things that he was totally on top of!! It's the quality of the sound system., mics, lighting, etc. Joe has top notch everything - zero glitches. It's being a great MC! Yep - your DJ is the guy who navigates your guests through the entirety of the event. Trust me when I say a bad MC can ruin your event. Joe is the best of the best! Right amount of enthusiasm, never makes it about it, and reads the room!! He's fantastic. It's most importantly knowing the right song to play and WHEN to play it. Like I mentioned in the beginning - it's SO much more than running a playlist. Joe flawless reads the room and vibe and plays the perfect next jam to please the crowd and keep the party going. I distinctly remember almost being frustrated (LOL) that I couldn't leave on "the next song" to run to the bathroom because he kept playing the BEST SONGS and I couldn't tear myself off the dance floor and risk missing it!!! If you want a fully sweaty, hair ruined, dance your A** off time - Joe is the MAN!!! I can't say enough good things about this man and his company. He's 100% worth the investment and then some. Please oh please don't risk your entire vibe, dance party, guest experience for a craigslist bargain or an iPod playlist. PLEASE. You will regret it. OH! And opt to upgrade by adding the dry sparklers - literally the most epic thing of all time. No joke!!! (Attached photo courtest of LUMI Photography)

Booking DJ Joe DeBorba was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planing process…read more Organized, charming and professional - Joe kept our reception right on schedule. He asked for all the details in advance, everything from our timeline, what to play, what not to play and details on the speeches. Joe served as a wonderful emcee as well, introducing our toasts, announcing cake cutting and our important dances and finally kicking off the best dance party when he opened up the dance floor. My friends are still talking about the boogie wonderland that was my reception. We are huge fans of DJ Joe and his work! We cannot recommend Joe and his services enough. Hire him and your wedding, party, or event will go off without a hitch.

Steve Buzzard was absolutely incredible--Zach and I loved him!!! He truly MADE our wedding…read more From the very beginning, Steve understood the vibe we were going for and brought it to life even better than we imagined. Even with a massive storm hitting during our wedding (seriously, it felt like a tornado outside), he didn't miss a beat--literally. He adapted seamlessly to everything, kept the energy up, and made sure the dance floor was packed all night long. His transitions were flawless, the music selection was perfect, and he did such an amazing job reading the crowd. Every moment--from our entrance to our first dance--felt smooth and special because of him. What really stood out was how calm, professional, and FUN he was. No matter what was going on, he kept the party going and made sure Zach and I were having the best time. We truly had the time of our lives, and so much of that is thanks to Steve. If you're even thinking about booking him--DO IT. You will not regret it!!!

We cannot recommend Steve enough!! He really cares about…read morewhat he does and we could tell from the start. Our first meeting he had this exciting energy we knew we wanted to book him for our wedding. He handled everything flawlessly. All of my songs and times I wanted everything played worked out great. He hyped up the crowed and kept our party going. He's really great at reading the room and pivoting if people aren't feeling certain things. A Dj can't seriously make or break your wedding in my opinion and I had full confidence in Steve that he would do great. He really made it a point to get content for us too and greet us through the night when there was time. If you're looking for a Dj for any event or a wedding specifically stop here and book Steve Buzzard!! Thanks so much for everything.

Nick DJ'd my sister's wedding and, in a few words: Everyone had such a great time!…read more As difficult as it was to plan a wedding during a pandemic, Nick made the process so easy and fuss free. He was so easy to communicate with in this remote setting. He responded with very thorough answers to any questions my sister and I had (and we had a lot!). My sister and her husband also chose several Japanese songs in their sets, so we weren't sure if it would be difficult for him to obtain high-quality audio of those selections. But he did it! And he made sure to verify with them that he found the right songs. On the wedding day, everything sounded great! He also provided mics for the ceremony and reception, and brought uplighting to add another level of ambience to the reception room. When the dancing began, he knew just what to play to keep the energy alive on the dance floor. Everyone - from our oldest to youngest guests - had a turn on the dance floor! Nick will be my top DJ choice for my next event. Thanks for everything, Nick! :) Here's a few words from the bride! - "I'm so glad we chose Nick to DJ our wedding. He did a fantastic job combining the J-pop, Pop and Oldie songs we requested and everything flowed so seamlessly. Not only that, he is so easy and fun to work with. I loved his fun personality. He really made the evening incredibly enjoyable and all my guests had nothing but good things to say about him. If I needed a DJ in the future, I would definitely ask him again."
