I reached out to this business with the following inquiry: "Hi, I have a unique request. I'm looking to rent a microphone & speaker for a memorial that will be held in Oceanside on May 11th. Is this something you offer? We are not looking for a DJ or lighting for this event. Thank you! "" As part of the inquiry form, I had to specify the date I was inquiring about. I received a seemingly automated response, to which I replied, "I assume you did not receive my message? Thank you." I assumed he didn't read it because I was not inquiring about DJ services. Please see the attached image for his response. It was very unprofessional, to say the least. I would recommend booking someone else to save yourself the trouble. I'm thankful I dodged a bullet!"

Excellent Service!…read more I needed to rent a screen, DVD player, speakers and microphone to play a still/video montage at the end of my father in law's funeral in a very dark, stone church in Santa Ana. Jerry Sanden came to the rescue with all the right suggestions. He contacted the funeral home to set up the equipment 1.5 hours before the service, played a few seconds of the DVD to align the screen and then adjusted the sound. He also brought a microphone and speakers to the service so the many eulogies could be clearly heard. He used a 100" pull up screen, 3000 lumen projector, JBL speakers on stands, channel mixer and other equipment. Jerry also agreed to run the equipment and stayed throughout the service. I was very appreciative of the the movie like quality of the commercial grade projector; and screen which was easily visible throughout the church. It looked like a very large and expensive television. Jerry was very professional, followed up every call, and even reached the church before I did. I couldn't ask for better service and would give him 10 stars!

If You Care About Your Wedding Day, I Recommend Looking Elsewhere…read more I don't write negative reviews lightly, but if sharing our experience helps another couple avoid what we went through, it's worth it. We hired this company over two years before our wedding and worked directly with DJ Mike the entire time. During those two years, we met with him, planned our reception, discussed every detail of our timeline, and were repeatedly assured that he would be our DJ and MC. He emphasized that, as our MC, his job was to keep the reception running smoothly so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. The company had us use their planning app, where I spent countless hours entering every detail of our reception--from announcements and pronunciations to specific songs timed down to the exact second they were supposed to play. I trusted that all of that planning would ensure our wedding ran seamlessly. Then, about a week before our wedding, Mike essentially stopped communicating with us. It wasn't until our hired coordinator contacted the owner just two days before the wedding that we learned Mike would no longer be our DJ. We were never proactively informed. My husband eventually received a message from Mike stating that he had been reassigned to a corporate event. After two years of building a relationship and planning our wedding with him, we were simply replaced at the last minute. We were assured Javier would take over and that he was "great." Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Nearly every major musical moment during our reception was wrong. My husband's processional song was incorrect. Our first dance was incorrect. My father-daughter dance was incorrect. The mother-son dance was incorrect. We had to stop our own wedding reception multiple times to correct the DJ. Think about that for a moment. A bride and groom should never have to interrupt their own wedding to fix mistakes that should have been prevented through preparation. The most frustrating part is that every one of these songs had already been entered into the company's planning app months in advance. Instead of using the detailed timeline we spent two years creating, Javier appeared to be working from a handwritten sheet of paper covered in scribbled notes. It left us asking one simple question: What was the purpose of the planning app if none of the information was actually being used? The mistakes didn't stop with the music. Despite confirming pronunciations with both us and our coordinator, names were still announced incorrectly. What makes this especially heartbreaking is that my husband's parents both have Alzheimer's dementia. This was likely one of the last major family celebrations they'll remember. Moments that should have been joyful and unforgettable were interrupted by confusion, corrections, and preventable mistakes. Those memories cannot be recreated. After the wedding, we contacted the owner, Monique, hoping for accountability and, at the very least, some empathy. Instead, we received what felt like a dismissive response. We were told she had conducted a "review" which concluded everything went well minus two songs. Our experience as the bride and groom was effectively minimized. We were also told that our coordinator wasn't present for the entire reception--as though that somehow explained what happened. Yet we specifically hired a DJ who assured us he would also serve as the MC and keep the reception on track. That responsibility didn't disappear because our coordinator stepped away. Mistakes can happen. What defines a business is how it responds when they do. Unfortunately, what disappointed us most wasn't just the last-minute DJ change or the repeated mistakes throughout our reception. It was the complete lack of ownership afterward. We were left feeling unheard, dismissed, and blamed for problems that should never have occurred. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You don't get a second chance at your first dance, your parents' dances, or the memories made that night.

We had a great experience working with Mike from 1024 productions. From our initial consultation he…read morewas professional, quickly responsive, and very thorough. I had no idea how much a DJ could do on wedding day-- but it was truly amazing to have him cover the whole sound system, from mic'ing the officiant to playing transition music in different spaces as we move, to making announcements throughout the night, and of course creating a fun dance floor at the end of the night. He has great DJ software which allowed us to upload our playlists and song selections directly from Spotify or YouTube. His questionnaires are very comprehensive for every portion of the night, and he anticipated any potential needs or errors in our setup and timeline prior to the event. I also loved his sleek white (or black) DJ table and transition from elegant to fun dance floor lighting. Finally, he acted and dressed very professionally for the wedding. Would definitely recommend Mike!

We are very glad we didn't just jump at any vendor. In our research we found the prices for Lighting and DJ combos to be all over the place for pretty much the same service. We met with Ammon and instantly had a personal connection to him and liked what he and his company had to offer. He was more than willing to work with our budget, while still caring about how the venue would like and sound like. We were able to find a happy medium cost-wise and Ammon did his best to throw in even more than was promised because he cared about how the end product looked and sounded like. On the wedding day, both my, now wife, loved how everything looked and sounded. We had two rooms in our venue and we discussed having the main dining room feel "warmer." So Ammon suggested some nice soft pink uplighting along the walls while the other room was more of party room where where the colors were more of a deep purple. In regards to the music, Ammon offered a lot of great suggestions for specific music for different moments of the wedding which was very helpful. Once the dance floor opened, he did a great job of keeping the energy and the party going. He even ended up running the music longer because people kept dancing...a lot of the credit goes to him on that! The last dance of the night was the same song as our first dance....which was a very nice tough. Again, great experience and highly recommended.
