DJ Art was our main contact and he was very responsive via text. We booked our event very last minute 3 weeks out and he made it happen and gave us a competitive price. We were able to pay online with a credit card without any additional fees. The Photo Booth was very professional and the photos were available online within a week. It was very easy to download all the photos which I recommend you do bc they're only hosted online for 30 days. DJ Mada as great and accommodating. We would definitely recommend this company for your next party. read more

DJ Artistic is wonderful. He helped me create an amazing anniversary experience for my parents that worked within my budget. I spent 8 months planning this party and was such a wreck by the time the party arrived that I didn't even recognize the music I had selected. He was so kind to me in spite of my nervous fretting and he created a a really memorable experience for my family. Everyone was saying how great the DJ was!!! He is a true professional and you won't be sorry you chose him for your event. read more

DJ Art was amazing! A true professional and an awesome communicator. We're from Arizona and had our wedding in San Diego, and even with the distance, working with Art was effortless. Whether it was through text or a quick phone call, he made the booking process easy and comfortable. On the day of the wedding, Art was incredibly flexible. We had a timeline in place, but like most weddings, things shifted--and he rolled with it without hesitation. Every song we wanted to hear was played, and his mixes were fun, creative, and kept the energy up all night! Friends and family couldn't stop raving about the vibe and tone that DJ Art set. We're so grateful to have had him be a part of our big day! read more

Loved working with DJ Artistic for our November wedding! He is so professional when it comes to polishing the details and helping you plan for the big day - ensuring all the moments that matter most are complimented with the right tunes.

San Diego Best DJs - My dance with my son. DJ Art surprised us with the sparkle fountain! It was epic! - DJs Near Me

We hired Art as our wedding DJ and it was honestly the best decision we made for our big day. Art was professional and engaged from the start. He was responsive and reliable and truly made us feel so confident in his abilities leading up to the wedding. We had a concern of possible rain at our outdoor venue and Art not only had a contingency plan, but he also made us feel calmed in assuring us the day would be incredible no matter what. The night of the big day, he delivered!! Everyone had so much fun and multiple people said it was the best music they have ever heard at a wedding; this is saying a lot as many of our guests are musicians or work in the music industry. My husband and I agree the music was the best part of our wedding. The DJ can absolutely set the tone of a wedding and Art was reading the room at every turn. Everyone was dancing and having the best time. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

DJ Artistic was amazing!! We loved having him as our DJ & MC for our wedding ceremony and reception. He hyped our guests during our reception, and played all the popular music for us to dance to! We also used him for our Photo Booth, and our guests loved it! Highly recommend hiring him for your wedding! read more

I was referred to Art, by my son, to DJ our wedding. From the moment we started communicating with him regarding our event, we knew we were in good hands. He explained to us how would lead the night. He beautifully lead our ceremony and reception. Everything was so much more than we imagined it could be. we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a fun evening for our family and friends. One they will never forget. One they will always remind of us of. Fred Rebecca read more

DJ Artistic played for my friends wedding and was the nicest DJ i have ever met. Reception was outside and the music was perfect volume. He also played excellent get up and dance music with impeccable timing while navigating a treacherous line up of karaoke requests. Superior service and well done! read more

Had a corporate event for 2,000 guests in October and SDBDJ were the go to for us. DJ Artistic is very professional and skilled in crafting the best sound to match your event. The biggest compliments from our employees were thank you for hiring an actual DJ and not a playlist. Big thanks to Art for the quick turnaround and excellent production for our event. We will talk soon about the next one. read more

We booked Arthur for our wedding and could not have been happier! He was very clear and helpful during our phone conversation and was very communicative throughout the planning process. Each time we couldn't quiet explain what we wanted for our music selection/announcements, Arthur was able to piece together our words and recommend exactly what we were looking for and suggested creative ideas that were much better than we had envisioned! In short, if you're looking for a charismatic, friendly, and organized DJ, you wont be disappointed here. **Oh and the music was absolute fire. Our friends family never left the dance floor read more

I've encountered San Diego Best DJs (DJ Artistic, in particular) on multiple occasions from distant past all the way to recent events. Take it from me, who has been a lackey of a DJ for years. They are phenomenal. I understand that when searching for a DJ, there is often that worry if the DJ will actually be decent, or if the DJ will be the right fit for the client/crowd/venue/event. I will attest on the notion that over the years through multiple encounters, this is a very secure choice for a good time. The service is professional, personable, and geared towards the best possible experience. You will not regret hiring them. I mean, look at all the satisfied folks on Yelp, for goodness sake. read more

Art DJ'd my best friends wedding and did a FANTASTIC job. His ability to gauge a crowd was superb and he had the crowd dancing the entire time. He was super organized, on time and followed the schedule we gave him precisely. His mixes were so much fun and flowed so well into each other that there wasn't any of the awkward dancing pauses. He is also incredibly honest and at the end of the night we I went to tip him he told me that the bride's father had already beaten me too it. The photo booth that was set up was great as was the attendant that ran it. I could not recommend San Diego Best DJs enough! read more

Absolutely incredible! Arthur was truly the glue that held our party together. He just went with it with any last minute change or surprise hora dance and he made the night run SO SMOOTH. So grateful we went with him for our wedding day. read more

San Diego Best DJs - DJs Near Me

We hired San Diego Best DJ's for our 360 and PhotoBooth. Unfortunately, Art was already booked for our wedding otherwise we would have hired him to DJ after he was highly recommended to us from a friend who puts on lots of events and has worked with Art many times. Art is one of the kindest people you'll meet and you'll feel like you've known him for years right away. He's just a good person with a huge heart. Kira, our Photo Booth attendant was also a total sweetheart and we enjoyed working with her. From someone who interviewed many, many vendors I trust you'll be in great hands hiring Art for your wedding or event. Thank you Art and Kira for being a part of our big day! read more

We were provided Adam's contact (DJ Mada) from our wedding planner, and I have no hesitation in saying that hiring Adam was one of the best decisions we made. He is super easy to work with, and he perfectly executed both the ceremony music we requested along with the reception music which kept our dance floor occupied after dinner until our venue closed. Adam was also able to source a number of items for our wedding that we were struggling to find ourselves that wouldn't typically fall within the remit of a DJ (lighting, cold sparklers). 10/10 and affordable, couldn't recommend more. A number of our guests also mentioned that he was a great DJ. read more

A friend recommended DJ Artistic, and we were so lucky to have him be part of our wedding. We highly recommend him for any wedding or event you are planning. In planning our wedding, music was one of our top three priorities. We wanted our guests to be entertained throughout the entire reception and DJ Artistic went well beyond our expectations. He not only DJed the cocktail hour and reception, but he also provided uplighting and made recommendations for places to hold our wedding afterparty. Even a month after, our guests are still raving about not only how good the music was but also how much energy DJ Artistic brought to the big day. He set the mood during cocktail hour, played a series of singalong R&B songs during dinner that got our guests hyped, and played a high-energy set during open dance that got everyone on the dance floor. DJ Artistic was easy to work with and delivered on everything he promised. He met with our friends who were the MCs for the night as well as our coordinator the week before our wedding to ensure the entire night went smoothly. Our wedding was incredibly fun and he really helped to make it a party. We highly recommend DJ Artistic for your wedding or your next event. read more

DJ Albert was the DJ for the middle school dance I planned! DJ Arthur made sure he had all the info prior to the event! DJ Albert showed up on time with a crew! He was very professional and got the middle school kids dancing and having the best time! The music was so good the kids danced instead of eating all the ice cream and candy they could!! It was a special night thanks to the vibe DJ Albert brought to the party!! We also used the Photo Booth from Arthur and it was set up and run all night by a great guy guy with great props! I definitely recommend San Diego Best DJ to all! read more

San Diego Best DJs - DJs Near Me

DJ Artistic was amazing, I am so happy we booked him for our wedding! He took my song ideas and expectations and ran with it, taking the time to put together a perfect list of songs for every portion of the wedding day. He even heard my concerns about our first dance song being too long and seamlessly shortened it without any guests noticing any different. We also wanted Bohemian Rhapsody to be our last song of the night, and I honestly believe that that song would not have been nearly as magical and memorable without DJ Art. It was the perfect bookend to our wedding day, and I loved sharing it with all of my friends and family. Just do yourself a favor and reach out to DJ Artistic, you won't regret it! His professionalism and readiness to make our day the best it could be spoke for itself. He was awesome! read more

San Diego Best DJs - DJs Near Me

DJ Artistic made the vibe for our wedding. We gave him some unconventional requests (hyphy, pop punk power hour, custom music for father/daughter dance) and he pulled it all together seamlessly. He was an excellent MC and kept the energy up throughout the whole night. He provided us with a worksheet to outline all the major events throughout the wedding, which was wonderful because there were things on there we hadn't even thought of! We were even able to rent a piano and photo booth from him, which made logistics easier. Our other wedding vendors were even impressed - he got added to a few of their Preferred Vendors lists just from our wedding. Highly recommend to anyone getting married in San Diego! read more

San Diego's Best DJs did our wedding last weekend. We were recommended SD's Best by a longtime friend so decided to send them a message. DJ Artistic reached out in a timely manner and we set up a conference call. We knew right from the first call that this was going to be a great match. Art was super dialed in to how to move a crowd and keep the big day going. He had great anecdotes and insight and we could tell he was a true pro. We booked him literally the next day. In the months leading up to the wedding he was able to answer all our questions and even provided us with templates that were super helpful in planning the flow and music choice for the wedding and reception. On the big day Art showed up and was professional in putting together not one but two set-ups (our ceremony site and reception tent) in a timely manner. HIs soundcheck was non-disruptive and he was ready with the seating music before our first guest arrived. Once everyone got there, he seamlessly transitioned through our entrance music and hit every song on cue. He was able to pull out some obscure requests, which I have seen other companies gloss over with a "sorry I couldn't find that song". That was just the ceremony! The playlist he put together for cocktail hour was the perfect vibe we were going for even with limited instruction. Once everyone moved down to the reception area, Art really got the party going! He is not only an amazing DJ but an outstanding emcee as well. When we did our grand entrance he had the whole place on their feet and cheering, it was truly a memorable experience. All our special dances were perfectly cued and his pacing throughout the night was great. He followed our requests to the tee and was able to pick up the vibe and play other tracks that fit our idea and got the people moving! Our audience was quite varied and he was able to cross the gambit from country to hip-hop to edm and everything in between. Honestly he made the night! I have had multiple people hitting me up since asking, "Who was your DJ!?" and I am proud to recommend DJ Artistic with San Diego's Best DJs without hesitation. They truly are SD's best!! read more

San Diego Best DJs - DJ Artistic killin it! - DJs Near Me

Absolutely Amazing!!!!! We're a small school and planned our first Middle School Dance. We found SD Best DJs online. Arthur was quick to respond to our request and answered all of our questions along the way. He matched Albert as the DJ for our event needs and it was beyond our expectations!!! Albert made the event. He brought the energy and got the kids dancing and playing and having so much fun. That's not easy with a smallish size group of middle schoolers at a first dance. He worked hard the whole time playing great music and dance choices - Keeping the kids pumped including announcing dance awards. You would have thought the kids won the lottery. Thank you Albert!!! Arthur knew better than us and suggested a photo booth for the event and the kids swarmed to it. Again, he matched Kira to us as our photographer and she was so great with our kids. They gave us free choice on our photo template. The kids loved the props and the backdrop. And most importantly the kids walked away with a beautiful photo memory of their first valentines dance. Thank you Kira!!! Thank you Arthur and SD Best DJs for being a part of our event and helping create special memories for our children!! If you need a DJ book with them!!!!! You will be happy you did. We are!!! read more

Arthur and his group of talented DJs are amazing. They are professional through and through, from beginning to end, so simple to work out logistics for our family reunion event! Big shout out to DJ Kevin who handled our event with Ease!!! We had several talented performers, a few A/V gigs, a photo booth, and a few video montages throughout our six hour event. I cannot say enough good things about San Diego bass DJs. I can guarantee you you will have a professional, cool, current and hip To the skip DJ for your event read more

DJ Mada is incredible! Best DJ EVER! He's everything you want in a DJ. He's exceptional at his art and he truly cares about the quality of his performance. He doesn't have an ego but he's definitely confident in what he does. I asked him to use my playlist I had created for my wedding and he totally embraced my music. My husband and I had met with two other DJs before we were introduced to DJ Mada and he was our fit! I had a great vibe from him from just our initial phone conversation and when we met him he put off such an amazing energy. For me finding the right DJ is one of the most important elements of your wedding day and DJ Mada made our day so memorable and special. He's seriously one of the nicest people you will meet. I have nothing but love for my DJ! read more

My husband and I hired DJ Art for our wedding celebration in Malibu and could not be more satisfied with everything. From the first time I jumped on the phone with him, to the day of our celebration, you can feel his professional upbeat personality. He pays close attention to detail and is extremely communicative. Multiple guests complimented us on the music which just shows how important it is to hire someone who knows what they are doing and are good at it too! He definitely knows how to match the energy in the room. Thank you again for making our wedding celebration so much fun and eventful! :) read more

I was referred to DJ Artistic from my coordinator for my October wedding. He came highly recommneded, and I could not be happier with how it all turned out. He was amazing and very professional. He kept the dance floor going all night. He was such a great additon to the night and you could tell he enjoys his job. We also got a photobooth option which was a hit with all our guests and the photo strip was customized with our colors and names. I'll be sure to recommend him to all our friends and family members for any future events. Thanks DJ Art for such a great night! read more

I booked DJ Artistic for my wedding reception. Prior to choosing to use him, we had a 30 minute phone conversation where he and I discussed his services and ran through what the wedding reception timeline and events could look like. He had some good suggestions that I used, such as dismissing tables for the buffet line and having them come up to the stage with the bride and groom before grabbing a plate. (This allowed my husband and I to greet each guest and give hugs and ensure we had a photo, while also being able to sit down and eat during dinner). Prior to the wedding he sent a template so that I could lay out the song choices and work through the timing. We spoke the week before the wedding and discussed final details and logistics. The wedding day came and when my husband and I arrived, I could hear the music and laughter while standing outside of the reception hall with the door closed, which was a good sign. Throughout the night he was able to handle transitions between songs well and to both pump up and slow down the crowd, as appropriate. I did not have a coordinator, and he was able to keep time and work with the photographer to ensure we did events, such as cake cutting, and got the photos we wanted. Art was great to work with and I would highly recommend him! I also used his photo booth service, which the guests enjoyed. read more

DJ Artistic & San Diego Best DJs were amazing for our wedding. He did an amazing job as the master of ceremony and keeping the party going for the reception. The additional reception lighting really stood out and matched our wedding colors, we can notice them in every photo. The photobooth was a huge hit, and the attendant working seemed excited to be there with us and had great energy. The whole process was smooth and stress free with them, very professional and knows what they are doing. read more

All I can say is AMAZING and BEST DJ ever. We hired DJ Artistic for our wedding and this guy is the most professional vendor we dealt with for our wedding. We had a Moroccan themed wedding, I am Mexican and my husband is French Moroccan/American and he catered to all our guest. He played the best music to fit everyone at our wedding. Not only was he just playing music but he pretty much was also our wedding planner that day! He kept the party going and everyone loved him. I also had many unique entrance mixes I asked him to do and he made it happen. I recommend him! He also made my dream come true of a long soul train line lol he gathered all my guest on the dance floor to "take a picture" (great picture by the way) and he made everyone split to create a huge soul train line. Everyone thought it was a great idea! It got all the shy people that usually sit down to dance :) read more

DJ Artistic covered every detail for the music, microphone and speaker systems for our outdoor wedding and cocktail hour and reception. Everything flowed so beautifully and our guests had the time of their lives. We received so many compliments about how unbelievable the music was..............the dance floor was always packed! At the end of the night they were begging for more. We appreciate all the time and effort the DJ Artistic placed into answering our questions, assisting us with the planning process. He reviewed and executed our timeline for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, with great precision. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Arthur Mitchell "DJ Artistic" for all your wedding needs! We guarantee you will not be disappointed! read more

If I could give Arthur 10 stars I would. There are three people who runs your wedding that is the wedding planner, the photographer and the DJ. Arthur gave us one on one attention, walked us thorough the process for the ceremony and the reception. He respected our wishes for music selection without offering his preferences and gave us advice, options and suggestions based on the information we gave him. The dj creates the ceremony atmosphere. Ours said "we're married and happy and we want to celebrate!" And that is what DJ Artistic did, he had different cultures, generations, and preferences all up and dancing! At several points in the evening no one was in their seat Bc he had them up and dancing. The highlight of my night was Arthur planned with my 16 year old nephew where he would play our wedding song, fade out, and my nephew would play the remainder of the song on his guitar. It happened so seamlessly you would've never known they had just met each other! DJ Artistiatic is a fantastic team player, professional beyond expectations, and absolutely relevant. He knows the songs to get people dancing, he knows the ins and our of all things wedding, and more importantly his demeanor can get a crazed bride to focus on the important things: get married and have fun on the best day ever Aileen Coronel-Marut, MBA read more

Without a shadow of a doubt Best DJ I've ever had the pleasure of knowing! He did an amazing job helping us with our Grand ReOpening at our business! He kept it lively and fun and even had a Photo Booth which was a big hit! It was also Lunar New Year today and we have an employee's birthday that he assisted us with as well!! Never looking anywhere else unless he retires... so don't ever retire!!! He's amazing!!! Definitely booking him again! read more

DJ Artistic is a true professional and pleasure to work with. When we first met him for our consultation he walked us through the entire process. He gave us great examples of what he can do during a wedding, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Art definitely showed he can run point in any event and adapt when there was a delay in our wedding timeline. He made sure to check in with us for any questions. We especially appreciated Art bringing us two champagnes after the ceremony to help kick off the cocktail hour and appreciated that he asked if we wanted to eat before our first dance. He was very attentive to our needs from start to finish! We would definitely refer him to our friends and family and if we ever need a DJ we know who to call! read more

San Diego Best DJs - Dj Artistic Introducing The Rodolfo 2015 Bridal Party! - DJs Near Me

Arthur was the DJ for our wedding in September 2014. He is most definitely one of the best DJs out there! He was very helpful, very experienced, punctual, and owns a lot of equipment that really helps bring events together. He is also very thorough when it comes to making sure all events throughout the day is supported by the appropriate music. He met and exceeded all of our needs and even included many ideas for our wedding that we did not think of, it made the experience 100 times better! He played very appropriate music for all events (aside from the music that we requested, of course he played all of that) and really set the mood right for the whole day. We would highly recommend his service to anyone who has the opportunity to be able to work with him. Book him early because this man is a hard worker and you don't want to miss him! read more

Planning a wedding is chaotic, stressful, and overwhelming. From the beginning of our process, DJ Artistic made it so seamless. He calmed all of our nerves. He's so knowledgeable and personable. A DJ does so much more than play music at the reception - he provided us with a photo booth (with beautiful customized borders), he did mic and sound for my moms ceremony (for officiant & we had live singing for the processional) - he kept cocktail hour groovin and for the reception, he made everything run so smooth - the grand entrances, the toasts-- just everything! We were blessed to have him as part of my moms big day!! read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Art and his team! I only discovered him because my client requested him specifically for the event we were planning. That to me speaks volumes. She worked with him a few times prior and repeat business must mean they're doing something right, am I right!? From the first to last contact, Art was professional, friendly and communicated clearly. What I loved was how in command he was with each detail, and he put me at ease that we were in good hands and wouldn't let us down. DJ Ukeim was assigned to our event and what can I say...I'd hire him again, no doubt. Ukeim was friendly, on time, and quick to respond to all my many questions via text, even after hours. Look forward to working with these guys again. read more

Let me tell you about DJ Artistic. My now wife and I were looking up DJs for our wedding and saw what great reviews DJ Artistic had. When we first chatted with him about our event, I knew he was going to do an amazing job. You could immediately tell that he is an expert in the field, thinking intricately about how to create the perfect atmosphere for our wedding through music. He was super helpful in giving us an idea of how the wedding would run, which really helped our discussions with the wedding coordinator. On the big day, DJ Artistic absolutely crushed it. He was more than a DJ, he was the definition of an MC. The transitions between the music and different parts of the wedding ceremony were flawless. He was able to hype up the crowd for our grand entrances, encouraging them to spin their napkins around to hype us up, something we had never thought of. The music was so good, we danced for hours! I have not seen some of my friends dance like that since college. And to top it off, he did a touching tribute to my now deceased grandmother and uncle, which was an emotional moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. When you hire DJ Artistic, you get more than a DJ. You get someone who listens, who understands the vision you are trying to create, and will bring it to life in more ways than you can imagine. I cannot recommend DJ Artistic enough! read more

Getting DJ Artistic for our wedding was my wife's dream when we first talked about getting married. Fast forward a year later and there we were sitting in his office discussing our upcoming wedding. I took a sec while we was there in the moment and reminded her what she said then she realized her dreams had came true. We really enjoyed working with Art and his attention to details we never would have even thought about. We described what we envisioned and he executed to the T. Our wedding day was phenomenal, our family and friends enjoyed every moment. read more
