A solid 10/10 for our experience with our MC Rocky at SpotlightLA! We recently used SpotlightLA for my son's bar mitzvah on 9/9/23. From our first call and hire of our MC, Rocky - until last minute of party - Rocky and his entire team were complete professionals and completely delivered on our expectations for our big night. This team knows how to run a party in and out, especially with Rocky leading the charge. From the beginning, we told Rocky that our main priority for evening is just to have the kids stay on the dance floor and to have fun. Rocky and his team delivered on this 100% we had all of our kids dancing the entire night. Every kid, every age. This team is also up on all latest trends, music, etc.. which is really helpful when entertaining teens! :) Both Rocky & the SpotlightLA team are also committed to making small details perfect (example showing up in my teen's favorite band t shirts - something they asked prior if would be ok). They are very concerned with making their service personalized to your own kid / family. This was much appreciated. They really go the extra mile. During our party prep they asked all the right questions. Their overall organization was top notch. Rocky also checked in on us throughout our party to make sure all is well and make sure nothing was being missed. Rocky and The SpotlightLA team were always available to me (and patient) for any questions that we had leading up to party, which was much appreciated. Rocky & the crew of SpotlightLA were truly fabulous hire in every way. read more

We loved Spotlight LA. I recently had a 70s dance party and Drew did a terrific job keeping us in the dance floor all night long! Joel, the owner, was extremely helpful in walking me through options and even sending me photos of decorations I could get-far outside of what was expected! But his counsel allowed me to think about some elements of timing and design for the flow of the evening which really helped. I'd highly recommend them for any celebration you're having. read more

11/12/22: Tori's party on Saturday was an absolute blast! Seth and his crew were incredible and I can't even tell you how many guests came up to me that night to tell me how awesome they were. Seth simply blew us away with his energy and elevated the party to a whole new level. Tori truly had the best night of her life and felt like a princess. The night was perfection. read more

Spotlight LA made our son's Bar Mitzvah so much fun! I would highly recommend using them again. It was so easy to plan everything with Joel. MC Seth, DJ Johnny, as well as dancers Bash and James had everyone up the whole night dancing. We also had Chris run the photo booth which was a big hit. We were blown away with the energy Spotlight LA brought and could not have asked for a better evening. read more

An amazing team - and very professional! They met with us before to workout the plan and get a sense of our goals. Then DJ Seth drafted a schedule for us, the caterers, and photographers - which made everything run smoothly. Daytime bar mitzvahs can be low energy -but this amazing team (DJ, MC and dancers) was fantastic and got everyone moving - from preschoolers to grandparents! The scavenger hunt/musical chairs games was a super big hit - as were the excellent selection of songs. We would hire this team again in a heartbeat. read more

SpotlightLA was really great! I used them for a school gala and they really knew how to keep the flow of the night and get people on the dancefloor. The party was so fun and they had a lot to do with it. Really liked working with them and made the process streamlined and easy. I plan on using them again for my next event. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We have used this company several times for HOCO and Prom. They are amazing! The kids love SpotlightLA - ask for Johnny!

Spotlight did an incredible job at my son's Bar Mitzvah! From the start, Joel was a pleasure to work with -- super professional, thorough, accommodating, and an all around great guy. Rocky was our MC and was absolutely incredible. Truly, the best MC I have ever seen! His high energy, infectious personality, and extraordinary talents keep everyone at our event engaged throughout the entire event. The entire team is top notch. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I really love this company. I hired Rocky to DJ Carpenter Community Charter's Halloween Carnival and he did such a great job. He was engaging, energetic, and flexible. We got so many compliments on him. I definitely recommend SpotLight LA if you want your guests to have a good time. read more

Spotlight LA is the BEST DJ /Production company. Rocky, Joel and their ENTIRE crew are beyond professional, friendly and very talented. They will truly create your DREAM event. Rocky and Joel were there for us every single step of the way, and I mean every step of the way.... From the first phone call, all the way until the very last thorough meeting to go over the specific timeline for the event evening. The amount of texts and phone calls that we had in between were numerous, but they responded to every single one (within minutes) and truly listened to our ideas in order to CUSTOMIZE our DREAM Bar Mitzvah for our third son. HANDS DOWN THEY ARE THE BEST DJ's and dancers around!! Thank you again for the most memorable party ever! read more

Thank you SpotlightLA, they did an amazing job as the DJ for our prom for special needs students. Joel always checked in with me, answered emails right away before the event, and Seth was fantastic making sure all of the students got on the dance floor and had a good time. We'll see you guys next year! Thank you. read more

SpotlightLA was truly sensational...a 5-star experience for us all three times we have used them: for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah (March 2017), our son's Bar Mitzvah (Sept 2018) and our most recent son's Bar Mitzvah (February 2022). We loved working with Seth, Mitchell, Jon and Joel and found the entire experience easy, friendly, helpful, professional and fun. They made every part of the process simple, no-pressure, and easy...and the day of we all had a blast - they took care of everything and made it all seamless and easy! Their music selections were excellent, kids all were involved and engaged and dancing, photo booth was awesome, and the video montage was perfect. Seth was an absolutely outstanding DJ and was so interactive with the kids, helped them with dance moves, got them involved and comfortable on the dance floor and kept everyone happy and enthusiastic. We recommend SpotlightLA without hesitation! read more

From start to finish, Seth, Rocky and Joel were easy to work with and did a wonderful job! Seth made the party REALLY fun and engaging for the kids and we all had a blast. Our party was in Aug. 2023. I highly recommend them! read more

This year was the second time our company hired SpotlightLA for our holiday party and once again they did not disappoint!!! As always, because of their professionalism and great skill, the party was a huge success. Seth kept everyone engaged and the dance floor was full the entire day! In fact, staff have not stopped talking about how much they loved Seth!!! He is fun, funny and full of just the right amount of energy. John played a great mix of music the appealed to our range of generations. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the entire SpotlightLA team for all that you do, from the first call to you checking in after the party, I know we are in great hands when we hire you!!! We can't wait for next year!!! read more

SpotlightLA DJ-ed our son's Bar Mitzvah recently. They were great to work with and we had a blast. Rocky was our MC and we had a dancer as well. They all kept the kids and adults dancing and entertained. From the initial planning stages to building a schedule to song choices, SpotlightLA (Joel and Rocky) rocked. We highly recommend them. read more

Joel and his team were THE BEST! We used them for our daughter's bat mitzvah. She was the first in her grade and everyone was RAVING about how great the DJ was (other people even booked them after because they were so impressed!). Joel was very organized and easy to work with in the planning stages and he executed the night perfectly. Everything was well timed and he worked with the people where we held the event to make sure all went smoothly. The music was super fun and the hype dancers were absolutely incredible. A perfect team! His lighting was also great and provided a really fun atmosphere. We used their photo booth as well and that was great -- got physical photos and digital images. Can't wait to work with them again for our next events! read more

A lifesaver! Our organization forgot to book a DJ and everyone we called was already booked. Reached out to Joel and he found us Johnny. We are so very thankful for Joel and DJ Johnny for saving our event. DJ Johnny was the best DJ. All the songs were great party songs and there was no lag in our enjoyment in his playlist. Highly recommend! read more

Spotlight LA (Joel) is a phenomenal company. Professional and conscientious to every detail. Rocky has so much energy and charisma during the event, everyone is up dancing and Drew picks the best music for the vibe at the moment. I would highly recommend Spotlight LA for any event! read more

The BEST decision I made for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah was choosing Spotlight LA. Joel is responsive, caring, and super creative and it's evident he loves what he does. He was our Emcee and kept 60+ kids engaged as well as the adults. The DJ and dancers were amazing. If you want a premium experience in the prepping of the event and a SPECTACULAR event call Joel now. Thank you, Joel and team, it was an amazing night. read more

I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing evening Spotlight LA turned my son's Bar Mitzvah party into. Every single person who approached me could not say enough about the incredible energy and electric party buzz that was ignited from cocktail hour all the way until the bitter end! MC Seth KILLED it - he has a brilliant ability to be so attuned to every different person in the room - he is beyond invaluable and I will vouch for his talented work and the whole Spotlight LA team anytime, any day to anyone who is asking about what it is like to work with SpotlightLA! I simply could not have asked for a better team to help create such a beautiful, fabulous party! read more

Spotlight LA was the hero of our event!! We were thrown major challenges in the 5 weeks leading up to our event and the Spotlight LA team was there for us every step of the way. They were patient, supportive and guided us like true pros. Now as for the night itself - we have gotten calls, texts, notes saying just how amazing the team was. Seth was incredible, working so hard to ensure that our guests, but most importantly our daughter, had the time of their lives. At one point EVERY SINGLE person in the room was on the dance floor. When does that happen?? This morning I ran into a mom at carpool who told me her son has been to a ton of mitzvahs and he said by far this was the best one he's ever been to - I am pretty sure we can attribute that to Seth and the team at Spotlight LA. So grateful to the entire crew!!! read more

We hired Spotlight for our school dance last Saturday and they were a hit! Joel was very helpful throughout the process. The team was extremely professional. Rocky made the night by hyping the crowd and getting the dance floor full. Definitely using Spotlight for every event. Thank you for making our Glow Dance Event a great experience! read more

Spotlight LA was the most professional, fun and thorough company to work with. Our Emcee, Seth made our event just incredibly fun, he guided our guests through the evening with ease and we got tons of positive feedback from our guests who said things like, "That was the best DJ at any Mitzvah I have ever been to!" and "Your DJ and Emcee were amazing!" I would recommend getting a dancer as well to help engage the crowd. Not the first event I have planned but I would use Spotlight LA again without hesitation for any party! I want to throw another party just so they can DJ again! They really were that fantastic!! read more

We had a great time with Spotlight LA at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah on June 18, 2022. Seth was our MC and everyone at the party couldn't believe the energy he and the team had. Chris, one of the dancers, was a crowd fav! Great energy all around - They kept everyone engaged for our 5 hour party. The kids had a blast playing games while everyone danced the night away. They are so experienced and their suggestions made the whole event that much better. My whole family uses Spotlight because they're so professional and guarantee the fun. With them, you don't have to worry about anything and that's the point when you're celebrating such an important moment!! read more

We had an amazing experience with Spotlight LA. Rocky was our MC and not ony did he have great energy but also kept the roughly 100 kids safe and happy on the dance floor. For the chora he brought a chair with a special seatbelt, which was amazing and made all of us feel so much more at ease and not worrying about being thrown out of the chair. He also did something a bit different and had all the women raise me up as the mom which was honestly such a memorable experience as I was being raised by all of my friends. We got countless compliments about it! Our son was nervous about the whole experience as he does not love to be the center of attention but really wanted a fun dance party. Rocky was able to create a grand entrance that felt super fun and engaging and at the end of the party our son commented how incredibly happy and at ease he was the entire time. Rocky was also really creative and had the kids play hockey on the dance floor at the beginning of the party which was a huge hit. Knowing that my son loved hockey he brought jerseys for the whole entertainment team to wear! The rest of the team - DJ Seth, Swizz(motivator), Chris and Zak (photobooth) were all awesome! We will definitely work with Spotlight again! read more

After researching many avenues to find the best DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, I found Spotlight LA! From the start, Joel, the owner, was very professional, reliable, patient, and easy to work with. He was knowledgeable and made you feel like everything was going to be taken care of from start to finish. Seth, our MC, was also amazing! He planned our timeline and even though our service ran over by 45 minutes, which would have thrown off our timeline, you would have never known. The event ran seamlessly. Most importantly, Seth had everyone on the dance floor, children and adults, the entire party. My daughter felt so special and excited during the entire event. Weeks before the Bat Mitzvah, friends warned us about kids being on their cell phones during the party. Because of Seth's experience and endless charisma and energy, not one child was on their phone during the party. It was full of fun!!! I need to give a shout-out to our dancer, who my daughter also loved, and who made my dancing skills look better than I could have ever imagined;-) Last but not least, our photo booth directors got in on the fun with our 93-year-old Aunt, who had a ball taking funny pictures! Getting all the digital pics after is a ton of fun to have as memories! I can't say enough about the entire staff at SpotlightLA!!! They're all amazing;-) read more

MC Seth was absolutely phenomenal for our recent event. He exceeded our expectations and everyone was raving that their kids has "the.best.time.ever." He kept the kids and adults entertained and held everything together. He also planned the entire evening down to the minute and had fantastic advice. On top of that, Seth and Joel and just really upbeat and nice guys who seem to really enjoy what they do. read more

Working with Joel and Seth was so fun and easy! Seth and his crew put together an absolutely amazing party for my daughters Bat Mitzvah! They had 60 teens on the dance floor all night long! Thank you Seth and everyone at Spotlight LA for all your hard work in making my daughters evening over-the-top special! read more

Working with Joel and Andrew was super easy. We had DJ Kelly and she was great. The kids and adults loved her and most importantly our daughter had a fantastic event. I highly encourage others to use Spotlight LA and have a meeting with Kelly. read more

Working with SpotlightLa was the best decision I made! The first time I spoke with Joel at Spotlight he listened to my vision for my daughter's bat mitzvah! He asked the right questions, made the right recommendations and continued to work with me for a year to bring my vision to life. From prep to execution Joel was open to ideas and guided me with his knowledge, experience and expertise in both the DJ and the scheduling of the perfect rhythm for the party to flow and be a success. The night of- May 7, 2022- WOW is the best way ti describe the party!! We had Joel as our MC, DJ Jon, VJ Andrew and 4 dancers!! We had the very unique interactive video wall and light up dance risers!!! From the entrance, hora, follow along dances, dance sets and games- the dance floor was packed and the kids were jumping and dancing with smiles glowing from ear to ear. We are two weeks out and I am still getting calls about the party- the dancers were professional, fun, friendly and talented- the video wall added an element never seen before, the risers were a blast that the adults and kids couldn't stay off of them, and of course the music mixed with Joel's energy made it one of if not the best party my guests have been to in a very long time!!! We will be back with SpotlightLa in 3 years for our next mitzvah!!!! Thank you SpotlightLa, Joel and team! read more

Spotlight LA did a fantastic job at our son's Bar Mitzvah. Seth and his team were incredibly professional and took care of everything. Seth had the right amount of energy and fun to keep the kids engaged. DJ, dancers, and photo booth folks were the best. We were very pleased with the experience and would recommend Spotlight LA! read more

The whole team at Spotlight LA was amazing. MC Rocky had the perfect balance to get people on the dance floor and keep the kids entertained. Dancers Swizz and Lily were amazing! They danced with the youngster kids to the teens to the adults. They were super friendly and had the best moves. We also had the video wall run by VJ Harrison. They displayed our logo and various images picked by my daughter. The wall was interesting, and I would recommend it to anyone booking Spotlight! DJ Johnny played all our favorites, took requests and even showed his equipment to our curious young guests. Lastly, Joel took the time to get to know us and paired us with the perfect team. All in all Spotlight LA made our party!! read more

We are so so so so grateful for SpotlightLA! We had spotlightla for our homecoming night at school, and the dj definitely nailed it. Everything was great, the transition, timing, song selection--words cannot express our satisfaction level. Without spotlightla it WOULD NOT turned out that great. Definitely recommend and we loved it so much. Thanks again! read more

We absolutely love Spotlight LA! If you are looking for a fun time with lots of energy and excitement, Spotlight LA is the way to go! We hired Joel and Spotlight to DJ our son's Bar Mitzvah. We are repeat clients, as we also hired Spotlight in 2019 for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. We had so much fun we came back for more! Joel and the whole team do such a great job from beginning to end. Joel made sure that my son and his friends had the time of their lives. The kids had a blast and were dancing the entire time and they were sad to see it end. Joel is also very patient, we had to make some last minute venue changes and Joel just rolled with it. Joel is very responsive and great with communication. He also spent time talking with my son prior to the event making sure he received input from him about the party. I highly recommend Spotlight for your event, you won't regret it! Thank you Joel for such a fun time! We love to party with you! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Spotlight LA for our wedding reception. We used them for DJ services in addition to our photo booth and both were fantastic. We had a little bit of back and forth to iron out logistics, but ultimately everything went off without any issues. Our guests continually told us they thought the music was fantastic which can be attributed to SpotlightLA's willingness to work with our requests. We would definitely work with them again! read more

What an amazing night, we had such a blast at our own party! Thank you to MC Seth for making our party everything that it was! The adults had a blast, the kids had a blast, the entire evening was fun and action-packed right up until the lights came on! Seth ran the party so smoothly. His energy was awe-inspiring and infectious! Seth and his team got the too-cool teens and the cantankerous seniors and everyone in between, all up dancing and laughing and involved all night long! My daughter said it was one of the best nights of her life! All of her friends texted her later that night and the next day to tell her what an awesome time they had. All of the adults had an equally fun night! After meeting Seth on Zoom, I knew that he would do a good job. After our party Saturday night, I am saying that "good" isn't even in the ballpark. Seth is the GOAT when it comes to MC's! Thank you to owner Joel for all the planning and care you and your team put into our party. You stayed on top of every detail in the planning. You were incredibly good at communicating every step of the way. You and Seth and your team made sure that everything was going to go off without a hitch and exactly the way we wanted things. We want Spotlight, and specifically Joel and Seth, to be a part of all future parties and events we host. We received praise about Seth from everyone in the room. I am sending Spotlight a very big THANK YOU with a very full heart! read more

We cannot recommend Spotlight LA highly enough! Our latest mitzvah was August 2021, and Joel & team knocked it out of the park! From the entire year+ of planning uncertainty, Joel was there for us every step of the way and completely flexible as circumstances changed and changed again. Closer to the party, Joel was totally on top of the schedule and always there to answer questions and help with the venue. And, of course, the party rocked! We loved DJ John's music and the awesome dancers who played super-fun games and led dances to break the ice for these kids who hadn't seen each other in a long while! By the end, adults and kids we all dancing and having a great time! Spotlight LA is the best! read more

If you want the Killer Bar Mitzvah Look no Further. Worth every Dollar - and it will be a few ! Jon, Cameron and his crew really made the night incredibly special. A lot of planning and as always, last minute details didn't make this any easier, but they were on target. The Music, The Photo Booth, the lighting, were all Spot-on! They will guid you to get the best event possible with out being too pushy on the Xtras. But this is a special event, so let them suggest more than the standard plan Jon was in constant contact with me, my wife and our planner to make sure we were all on the same page at all times. Many Thanks - as our Guests and My Son were very happy read more

From start to finish, Spotlight LA was the right choice for our son's bar mitzvah. Our event came at a busy time for my job, and I was overwhelmed with the details Jon was so patient with me, and reassured me that the music would be great. He was always offering help and ideas for the candle lighting, pacing, and many details of the event. Meanwhile, Franz brought great energy and positivity to the party. He made sure everyone had a great time, from the teens to the grandparents. Jon and Franz together were amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better team! read more

Words cannot convey how pleased and appreciative we are that we hired SpotlightLA to provide the entertainment for our son's bar mitzvah in March 2023! The entire experience from the very first phone conversation to the final debriefing following the event was nothing short of spectacular! Our MC for the evening, Seth, is the consummate professional in every sense: engaging and energetic, experienced, organized and respectful, and extremely concerned about customizing the event to meet our family's greatest aspirations. It is very clear that Seth aspires to make each event unique, personal, and incredibly FUN! Seth and the fabulous SpotlightLA team exceeded our expectations by their willingness to go above and beyond to make our son's bar mitzvah memorable for us and our guests. The entire team (Seth, Rocky, Joel, DJ, VJ, dancer) is tremendously customer service oriented and their aim is to deliver a FANTASTIC event that will create memories to last a lifetime. Hiring SpotlightLA was the best decision we made in planning our son's special day! read more
