(Late review for June 2022 service) The BEST DJ service my family has ever experienced! Hugo is extremely friendly, accommodating and fun! We had a smaller party of 80 people. I had given Hugo a small list of songs prior to the party. Just from the small list and observing the party environment he immediately understood the genres, vibes and dancing we enjoyed. He creates a trustworthy contract in a timely manner and is responsive via email and text messaging. Hugo's personality is what made the party great. He will absolutely be receiving business from us again. read more

I am a wish planner for Make-A-Wish and was working on a quinceanera wish for a young lady in San Mateo. I had the opportunity to work with DJ Hugo on this wish and he made things so easy and smooth from day one! His website has a great planning tool as well that came in handy for communicating key pieces of the party program. When it came time for the party, he was fast and efficient with set up and really on top of it with the program. The guests were loving the music and really active on the dance floor. Hugo's personality kept them all engaged and comfortable approaching him for any requests. We also utilized the photo booth and lighting services and it really pulled the party together perfectly! I highly recommend these folks, they did an excellent job! read more

We had Hugo for my oldest daughter Quinceanera, and he did a great job, we book photo booth, lights and DJ combo. He met with us a few weeks before the party and he worked with us on our play list. Our guest enjoyed the charging station for their electronics. I also had him, and his partner do two other company events. Our baby had her Sweet 16 last October (after postponing due to covid) and again Hugo didn't disappoint. If you need a DJ that will provide you with great service and exactly what you are looking for your even Norcal Dj's will take care of you. read more

1,000% would recommend this INCREDIBLE DJ to anyone in search of DJ, lighting, and photobooth services. Admittedly, I was apprehensive to book services as our committee of planners had relationships with other companies, however, Hugo and his team over delivered and were an absolute pleasure to work with. The DJ, lighting, and photobooth services were top notch creating completing the ambiance for our kids' 8th grade promotion (Outsiders thought that we were hosting a formal prom). The team is professional, experienced, accommodating, responsive, efficient, pleasant, and easy to work with. I wouldn't have changed anything - Our 8th grade class still talks about their promotion party till this day. Hugo and team, Thank you so much for being part of our kids' everlasting memories. We appreciate you tremendously and have you as the listed DJ for future years. read more

We hosted our daughter's Sweet 16 in April, and I'm glad we were able to have Hugo as our DJ! Communication from the very beginning was very clear, professional, and fast. He was our MC and DJ, we also booked his uplights, monogram, and photobooth services. It was so convenient to have everything done through him. He arrived to the event on time to set up and have everything ready to have our daughter and our 200 guests dance and have a great time. I will definitely be calling Hugo back for our next event. read more

Hugo Gomez is by far the best DJ! He feels the crowd and always creates amazing memories with his music!

We had the pleasure of having Hugo dj our wedding last weekend. He absolutely killed it! He had everyone on the dance floor, dancing all night. He worked with us before the wedding, getting a feel for the type of music and vibe for the night. All of the songs we requested were played when we wanted them. He didnt miss a beat. He made our night even that more special. He was so good, our family from Houston want to hire him out there for their functions. Thanks hugo! read more

Nor Cal DJs made my wedding day the best it could have possibly been. Photo booth was extremely fun, the Monogram was perfect lighting was perfect, the music had my guest moving the entire time. JASON PRO, CHUY GOMEZ and HUGO GOMEZ all helped make this special day for me and my wife happen!!!!! Thanks guys. My respects and god bless! read more

Amazing service, attentive and overall HUGO GOMEZ delivers and exceeds in service as a DJ and his photo booth is a hit! His lighting expertise create the perfect ambiance for any venue. Have attended several venues in which he is highly solicited and you immediately know he will play excellent music fit for the crowd. Never plays recorded mixes, he is always mixing every song requested live and knows how to read the crowd when it comes to music, this keeps the parties going. Song selection is superb, you name it he has it! He know's how and when to use the microphone. He will personally work with event coordinator and other vendors contracted with the event to keep the schedule on time and if any last minute changes occur he is quick to take the initiative by being able to see a problem, work it through calmly in his head, and think through to find the most logical, and all-around-best solution. He is extremely organized, a multi-tasker, great at time management, a problem solver, creative, a people person,and customer service oriented!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

Tony DJ'd our wedding and we could not have been happier with the night. He is a professional and has a wealth of experience in his trade. Tony did a great job as MC, even consulting my bride and me on timeline details that didn't make sense (he was right), and it felt like he understood us as a couple and our musical tastes while still surprising the dance floor with songs we didn't expect. We can't imagine having had anyone else DJ our wedding. Thank you, Tony! read more

Really wish I could recommend this DJ but our wedding was canceled due to Covid and we were not able to book them. You would think under the circumstances they would be understanding but instead they just said that our money was non refundable, shows what kind of people truly run this operation. I would absolutely not recommend these type of people for anyone's wedding in the future. I am glad we didn't use Hugo's services because he is the only one of our vendors that were not sympathetic to us and gave us our money back and I would just rather not do business with that type of person. read more

Hugo from Norcal DJs was my wedding DJ. When I was planning my wedding I knew that I wanted some fun, wedding appropriate music, "sweat running down my..." was just not going to work on my wedding day. I also wanted some Mexican corridos and a little banda...but if anyone played "Suavemente", I might just cry...oh wait, and I also needed my wedding DJ to play "Eh Magdalenha" for my samba dancers who would walk in right after I tossed the bouquet followed by a conga line to "Danza Kuduro." I wouldn't say that I was a bridezilla, my wedding was a blast, all the details were well worth it and boy did Hugo play a huge role in the fun that we had. The music was so good and so thoughtfully paired with all the events of the night that I had guests dancing in between courses. I'm not kidding!!! It was awesome!!! I had guests asking me for his playlist. The dance floor was always full, the DJ never had to motivate, because he just nailed it...I had non Latino friends and family getting down to music that they had never heard before. Saying that I was happy with my wedding DJ would be an understatement. Hugo was amazing. While I had a coordinator, Hugo played MC, introducing my bridal party and making announcements when appropriate. He also took care of my uplighting, which really dressed up the room. Hugo has been doing this for a long time, he's a professional. We met once to talk about what I wanted and then chatted on the phone leading up to the wedding to go over the timeline for the day. He really has it down and remembers everything that you tell him, and he speaks fluent Spanish, which is nice if you need a Spanish speaking DJ or one that is familiar with Latino customs. read more

This review is long overdue. Hugo was the DJ for our wedding back in October. He was on the preferred vendor list for our venue and came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator. ( He was the DJ for her wedding too) Not only did we use Hugo's DJ services we also used his up lighting and photo both services. Hugo was great! He brought the party and everyone had a great time! We are extremely happy with his services. I would recommend him for any party. Hugo, thanks for helping make are wedding so memorable!!! read more

Hugo! Hugo! Hugo! The man of the night ! Anyone looking for a DJ to set the perfect party up this is your guy! As a bride we are always on a mission to looking and finding everything that will make our day special. I was honesty stressing when my nephew told me he couldn't get him (as a prank ) and telling me about two weeks before the wedding that he was just kidding! My bridezilla self flipped "really "! My first thought was its late! I have met up with Hugo what am I going to do! Hugo was on it, we met up the day after discussed ideas and before we I knew it my party plan was set up he made things so easy and accessible that even if I had ideas pop up later at night all I had to do is go through his online program. The party turned out great! Overall the music was on point! he was very helpful in so many ways and I am forever great full with him and his assistant ! If your thinking of planning an event and looking for a DJ stop thinking or don't even think twice! This is everything you need to host your next event ! Thanks again guys !! read more

NORCAL DJS - Photo Booth Rentals Near Me

See all

We contracted with Hugo to DJ our wedding on May 1. He showed up early, was set up prior to guests arrival, and had a positive attitude and contagious energy that had our guests dancing all night long. He played all our requested songs and guest requests with a nice blend to appeal to the variety of our guest's preferences. Announcements were executed clearly and prompt. Hugo was instrumental to the success of our reception! Also, our photographer had some equipment issues and luckily Hugo was over prepared and had the necessary back-up equipment to help the photographers out! We were so lucky!! Thanks Hugo! read more

What can I say...Hugo Gomez... Nothing but great customer service and when it comes to family parties I only use NorCalDJs because they deliver and go beyond expectations! The bonus is the photo booth! It's absolutely a hit!! The downfall is I wish they can play till 5 in the morning, but most hotels do not allow it! Highly recommend!! read more

We originally booked Hugo for our wedding this past year, but we decided to change our date and he was no longer available. Hugo was then gracious enough to get us connected with a friend of his who is also a DJ!! We did however still use Norcal Dj's photo booth service for our wedding and all our guests loved it! They loved the props and their pictures!! Thanks again Hugo for taking such good care of us! I highly recommend Norcal Djs!! read more

Hugo DJ'd our wedding about a month ago- we couldn't be happier! We sent him ideas of what we were going for and he chose the best music for our reception. The selection of music got everyone dancing and having a great time! He also brought his photo booth- it was perfect. With so much to plan and worry about (including a difficult venue), I am so happy we went with Hugo at NorCal DJs, everything was seamless and we couldn't ask for a better DJ. Thanks Hugo! read more

Gracias Hugo!!! I love the music for my Wedding!!! You made our day special and funnnnn!!! Your work is professional and organized. Thank you, thank you!!! read more

Hugo was unable to DJ our wedding, but provided some great references who could. Couldn't have been nicer. Thank you!

Hugo did our wedding that was 3 weeks ago and he was amazing !!! I am still getting calls saying that the music was fantastic. He played Greek music which was a must for my wedding and had the perfect amount of Greek and what is popular on the radio. He also did our photo booth and he gives you copies of all the pictures which were very funny to look at after. He was very nice to work with he returned Every single phone call went to the venue to see if he needed to bring anything since it was a private estate he wanted to make sure he had everything that he needed. I would recommend Hugo to everyone I know that needs a Dj . Hugo thank you for making my wedding a fabulous event no one left the dance floor ! It was a blast !!!!! :) read more

I'm so disappointed in my experience with Norcal DJ's, especially given the high ratings here on Yelp and the reputation of Norcal DJ's. I booked my daugther's quinceañera roughly a year in advance. Hugo and I communicated mostly by email (which is my preference so I appreciated that). As the date approached, I wasn't receiving any information from Hugo, nor was he responding to my email requests without multiple follow-up emails - or he would answer one question from a string of multiple questions. When the party arrived he was on-time and set up both the photobooth and projection screen. The snow machine we requested (it was a winter wonderland party) was loud and barely worked. It was supposed to have been used multiple times throughout the night and was only turned on once and was barely visible. Hugo credited me back the cost of that service after I requested. The photo booth service was supposed to come with a USB of all the photos as well as an online gallery. It has been a month and a half and I have yet to receive these nor have I received a response to my multiple email requests. Hugo is a nice guy and the music he played was good (though too loud), but I'd recommend going with someone else. read more

Hugo did an amazing job at my daughter's Quinceañera! He met with me and my daughter in advance to understand exactly what experience we were looking for. My daughter is pretty shy, she felt comfortable with Hugo right away and let me know she was happy we had selected him for the DJ. On the day of the event, both Hugo and his event coordinator, Erika, made us feel at ease. They kept us on track and made suggestions that made the evening flow smoothly. Hugo also worked well with our photographer so that all the main events were captured. Hugo was well prepared. He had all the right mix of music in both English and Spanish. Everyone enjoyed themselves. I would totally recommend Hugo and his team. Thank you, Hugo for making my daughter's quince a memorable night! read more

DJ Hugo! Thank you sooo much for the fantastic job you did at my father's 70th birthday party!!!! It seriously was amazing - a few things that make a great party are the music and the food (see my YELP for BILLY BERKS in San Jose). People kept talking about how great the dancing/music was that night. DJ Hugo really knew how to work the crowd, he felt the audience and gave us everything we could have asked for in a DJ. I was very, very hesitant about hiring him. I found his YELP reviews as I was looking for another DJ and the comment that caught my eye was the one that said he would not have a party if DJ Hugo couldn't DJ. I thought "um, how lame", but I so see why they said that review!!! I think I would now do the same - for my next party, the only DJ I will ever hire would be this one. He played a mixture of Cumbia, Merengue, Salsa, and Top 40 40's. I can get a bit manic when I'm coordinating a party, but DJ Hugo worked with me and was spot on. Thank you DJ Hugo - because you were so great, both me and my mother's legs were pretty immobile 'cause of dancing - it is your fault your music was so good!!! read more

Hugo is not only a very sweet soul - he really knows how to party and make everyone just enjoy and have fun! He took into consideration what we wanted and made sure to deliver. Great DJ great man! read more

Hugo was very easy to work with. He was always responsive when getting in contact with him prior to the wedding. My now husband and I were very concerned because we could not find a bilingual DJ, so when we heard about Hugo we were very happy. He handled the announcements in Spanish and English very well and was always smiling! read more

100% Legit!! Hugo did our wedding reception. I have to admit, I didn't give him the greatest amount of prior notice, I didn't have a lot of direction, and I didn't have the greatest budget. He worked with me and my wife and he went above and beyond to make the experience memorable for our family. He had his son there helping out who helped out with entertaining the children, very accommodating with music, whatever we needed, he had, no matter what genre. I would recommend his services to ANYONE! I will definitely use him again when I have a major event!! Thank you Hugo for a memorable reception!! Much love bro! read more

In a nutshell: Hugo is extremely talented and professional from A to Z! From competitive pricing to overall DJ skill and savvy, he hits all the marks and goes beyond. My wife and I have grown up to Hugo and his brother (Chuy) DJ'ing local parties and events, so to say they are a Bay Area institution is an under statement. We contracted Hugo and Norcal DJ's to perform at our wedding and without any complications they agreed. We spoke to Hugo early on in the process, and although there was about six months in between our wedding date and from when we first signed our contract, Hugo maintained constant communication. Throughout the process, Hugo kept us on track by being transparent with his timing and which allowed us to plan accordingly and perfect our playlist the way we wanted it. The multiple packages that Norcal DJ's offer are fantastic and suit any size wedding. We had roughly 230 guests and went with an up-light package and an extra hour of service. We could not be more pleased with the sound quality, lighting schemes, and mixing of our playlist. Seeing that it was a multi-cultural wedding, it was no easy task! Definitely check these guys out and I would hands down use them again for any future parties/events. read more

Hugo is amazing! I've hired him for several events over the years and he has always been professional, upbeat & has always kept the party moving. I highly recommend him to others frequently and would not consider having an event unless I was assured of his availability. read more

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we ranked music as our # 1 priority. We needed a DJ that not only knew how to get a party started, but bring together two cultures, my Peruvian and my wife's Mexican family. My wife immediately knew who to contact and told me 'I know who to call, don't worry.... Hugo got this.' FYI I was aware of Norcal DJs but had never met Hugo or ever heard him DJing an event. As the wedding date got closer we were in communication and he was always responsive to our emails and texts. We added a photo booth, up lighting & customized monogram, which ended up being key, for our guests to enjoy as they took a break from dancing. Now, on our Big Day we were obviously trying to take everything in as time does go by quick. As we arrived to the reception from our offsite ceremony, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised to hear that we had an MC speaking in English & Spanish, and it wasn't Hugo lol. At that moment as we waited to enter, I turned to my wife and said 'You were right, Hugo got this!' For anyone needing DJ services I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed with Norcal DJs because they work with you and want to make your event the best it can be. It has been a couple of days since our wedding reception and most of the initial comments have been about the music. They loved how great the music selection was and how the dance floor was never empty. Thank You for making our wedding extra special & we couldn't have had it any other way. read more

Emily's Quince Hugo did an excellent job Djing for our daughter's Quinceanera. He brought his photo booth which was a hit for all the kids including the adults! His music was great and he has an excellent yet professional way with the kids in getting them to dance and have fun. He is a top of the line DJ and we will certainly use him again for his service and recommend him to everyone. We have been to parties where the DJ was so bad that the kids left or sat around bored. The DJ is the key element to making the party a successful one and HUGO certainly makes the party a hit. My daughters and their friends had a great time! read more

Hugo/Norcal DJ's, Thank you for making our daughters Sweet 16 the BEST! your services are highly recommended. The music was going all night long. Not one person was sitting for long! The variations of genres the flow was fantastic! The photo booth/props was a huge hit not only did the teenagers love it so did the adults. During the party guest's took pictures and we had a photo album to the side they would add to with a special note to our daughter for her birthday! At the end of the night we closed it up and it became a keepsake she will have forever! Many memories were made that night all because of great people like Norcal DJ's!!! read more

Music was on our priority list when it came to planning our wedding. I found NorCal DJ's on Yelp and after sending an inquiry through their website I heard back from Hugo Gomez right away. I felt pretty comfortable hiring him knowing that he was familiar with the kind of music we wanted played (definitely lots of Latin songs on our list). I was also excited to know that he could offer up-lighting and a photo booth at a reasonable price. The day of the wedding Hugo was one of the first vendors to greet me at our reception site. He was all set up on stage and the lighting in the room looked amazing; it totally transformed the space! I was really pleased with his work. Our guests had lots of fun using the photo booth during cocktail hour and the reception. Hugo even made sure to provide me the digitals of all the photo booth pics. Our guest really enjoyed the music! The dance floor was never empty and I have to give Hugo credit for keeping the crowd moving. Overall I had a great experience working with Hugo and our guest danced until the very end! Thanks Hugo. read more

Hugo - Thank you so much for doing an AMAZING job at my daughters' birthday party. The music was right on and photobooth was a hit! You are such a professional. Your punctuality was appreciated. This was a party they will NEVER forget! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! read more

My best friend and sister booked Hugo for my big 50th Bday which was 70's,80's and 90's themed. They found him on the internet. They said how easy it was to work with Hugo. I needed to contact him also to ask a few questions. He was extremely prompt, courteous and he was beyond accommodating. He turned out to be the best DJ I personally have worked with and he had everything I wanted. I brought some CD's just in case he needed to add songs I wanted to his playlist. He had all of it already and I was surprised he even had Sean Cassidy! Hugo is a pro and I would recommend him to anyone !! The only regret I have is that I didn't get a photo with him.. and he even took group shots of all of us!! Grazie per tutto Hugo!! read more

As soon as we began planning our wedding we knew how important the DJ is to a great party. My family has known Hugo for years and was the first DJ that came to mind. We booked him as soon as we set our date. When it came down to the big date he game planned with me to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. Since we had live music for dinner he would fill in their breaks and keep the music going. After the live music left he took over and really made our wedding the party to be at. I personally like anything from Spanish to hip hop to RnB even freestyle music. He played all types of music and did a great job putting it all together. The dance floor was packed the rest of the night. You want someone with experience that knows how to get a party going and keep it going till the nights over Hugo is your guy! read more

DJ Hugo Gomez is by far the ultimate DJ. KP Latino Association and many of our members have used him every year for our annual banquet. He is adaptable, flexible and has the best musica. He has been the DJ at our family functions as well. He is a part of our familia thank you DJ HUGO GOMEZ-YOU ROCK! Until our next fiesta... Amazing service thank YOU read more

Hugo and his crew were very professional and had great communication with our team at our school before the Jefferson High School Prom. The kids and staff were in line all night long to ge thier cool photos! I definitely recommend them for any party or occasion :) read more

We are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet Hugo and have him DJ for our wedding on September 3rd, 2017. From the time we started planning our wedding with him, he was easy to communicate with, always available to talk and very helpful with his expertise. The services we purchased from NorCalDJs were 6+ hours of DJ, a customized monogram, uplighting and photo booth. Hugo and his MC, Carmen, were the perfect fit for our wedding. They were punctual, flexible and helped the flow of the night go smoothly. Carmen accommodated our guests by translating in English and Spanish the whole night. We were short on time, but she was great at making sure all of our wishes for the ceremony and reception flow went to plan. Our guests loved our Cinderella carriage monogram that matched our fairytale wedding theme and enjoyed visiting the photo booth all night. Although we were limited on dancing time, Hugo played upbeat music to get our guests all on the dance floor and having a good time. We have already recommended NorCalDJs to our friends and hope to work with Hugo and his team again. read more

Let me start by saying that choosing Hugo to be our wedding DJ was one of the best and smart choices we made while planning our wedding. Our wedding was a success thanks to the great atmosphere Hugo's song selection created. He kept the party going and the guests dancing all night long. We also rented his photo booth services which was one of the highlights of the wedding. Guests couldn't stop taking pictures in the photo booth. His props were funny and they were not old or worn out. He provided one copy for us to keep and one for the guests. That's value added. His price was very reasonable and looking back in comparison to what other djs were asking for we definitely got great value, excellent customer service and awesome entertainment. read more
