Dominic was the DJ at a friend's wedding and as soon as we experienced his energy and the atmosphere he brought to their wedding, we knew we wanted the same for ours. I've been to COUNTLESS weddings and had never been overly impressed by a DJ until Dominic. I expected his pricing to be on par with the rest of the industry, but was incredible relieved to find out he's not only talented, but he's super affordable for any budget (and flexible when it comes to customizing a package for your needs). Dominic was a DREAM vendor - the fastest of any of my vendors to respond to emails, super warm and friendly, and 100% reliable. He showed up on time and I'm pretty sure stayed later than contracted. He genuinely loves what he does and it shows through his authentic enthusiasm. His sound system was great quality and he had an easy online portal for us to request songs and add our do/do not play lists as well as any ceremony/reception notes. I highly recommend hiring Dominic. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the music at our wedding. My biggest fear was an empty dance floor, but there was never a moment where guests weren't out of their seats dancing. This is one area of your wedding where you can save a little money, but won't have to worry about sacrificing quality whatsoever. read more

Five stars for the actual sound system working well, for both the ceremony and reception. 3 stars for our DJ whom I found a little annoying bc some of our preferences on the music form weren't followed, and he messed up the anniversary dance. I was a little annoyed at our dj at our wedding. We purposely put one minute for our first dance because we did NOT want to dance to a full length song, not even dancing for 3+ minutes. The dj didn't follow this and it was so painfully awkward around minute 3 that we just stopped dancing & walked off the dance floor. For the anniversary dance, our dj messed it up. He had people get off the dance floor too quickly, and when there were only two couples left he goes 43, 45 basically at the same time. Then both couples left the floor at the same time. Why would you do that? Then he asked them how long they had been married for and it was 44 and 45 years. It was so freaking annoying. Usually they count th years slowly to let people dance and slowly get off the floor. People want to dance so why rush this game? We were the first ones off the dance floor and by the time we got to our chairs he was on 45 already. Literally lasted like 30 seconds. And the last people were my parents so it would've been awesome to see them dancing for a little bit. But the actual music (other than repeating two songs) were good and the sound system for the ceremony worked well. So just make sure you vet who the dj will be and schedule a call with them beforehand to answer any questions they may have. Overall he was good (he told me my hair flowers were falling out) before cake cutting so I appreciated that. read more

Dominic from Sunset Mobile Music was great! We hired him for our wedding. He was very professional and courteous throughout the whole process. Whenever we emailed him with a question, he responded to us right away. He was very enthusiastic and our guests loved him. He was also reasonably priced. Dominic made everything very easy and painless. He arrived at the venue early and made sure everything was ready to go. Dominic definitely made our wedding special. The only critique I had was some of the music selection. We had a set music playlist from his online portal that wasn't followed very well. He did play some of the songs on the playlist just not many of them. The songs he played were still good, I just wished that more of the songs we selected were played. I would advise anyone who contracts with Dominic to be clear and very explicit about what music you would like at your event. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Sunset Mobile Music - DJs Near Me

I'll get straight to what my beef is: In preparation for my wedding, they had me separate my musical choices into three categories: must play, might play, and do not play. Obviously 80% of our music desires went into the "might play," with 2-3 groups on the must play, and 2-3 groups on the do not play. Well, you guessed it: the 2-3 groups on my must play never even got a song, and one of the artists on my do not play got about 4-5 songs. So the question is, why am I paying exorbitant fees for a wedding DJ that won't so much as take my musical wishes into consideration? Use someone else, wedding DJs are a dime a dozen. read more

Sunset Mobil Music was our Choice this year for our employee appreciation event at the Layfette Hotel. Everyone was over joyed with the DJs personality, Dominic kept the party flowing. I highly recommend Sunset Mobic Music. He will Definitely be our DJ every year and years to come. Thanks again Dominic read more

Sunset Mobile Music was fantastic to work with for our wedding. Their website is easy to use and they make sure to take care of your special requests. We worked with both Dominic and Jason for our DJ needs. Jason was great at keeping the dance floor going and fulfilled all of our guest's special requests. We also worked with Carolynn as our week-of coordinator. She was pleasant to work with and took care of all our little details from the setup to the tear down. The best part was that we were able to hand over all of our decoration items to her prior to the wedding so that I wouldn't have to make any drop offs the day of the event, which saved a ton of time and stress. Our wedding was at the UCSD Martin Johnson House and they did an awesome job! read more

We had our wedding at Karl Strauss Brewery and Sunset Mobile Music was part of their wedding package. Prior to the wedding, we completed the online request form (songs to play for specific parts of the wedding- walking down aisle, bouquet toss, cake cutting...etc, songs not to play and songs we liked). I found the form itself to be very useful. Day of, Dominic was awesome. We noted on the form that guests could request songs and many of our guests did. Dominic was great at working in the requests and keeping the part going. The night turned into a party and guests were dancing all night- Dominic was a huge part of that. read more

Sunset Mobile Music was the preferred vendor for our wedding at Karl Strauss in San Diego, and when I saw the reviews, I was optimistic. I'm happy to report that Dominic is amazing and far exceeded our expectations. He is a kind man with a great smile and knows his stuff. Many of my guests had fun conversations with him prior to the event. The music was great and he kept the party going. Any minor challenges were quickly addressed. He set up our lighting and everything looked gorgeous. Dominic assisted me in surprising my groom and brought out a guitar post-ceremony RIGHT ON CUE. The timing really could have ruined it but he was spot-on. Additionally, my grandma began to wander a bit during dinner and he kindly escorted her back to her seat. This man is my hero. Do not hesitate to hire him. Would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

Victor was our DJ for our wedding in July 2014 and he was excellent!!! We provided about 20 must play songs via their sunset mobile website and Victor filled in the rest perfectly! The dance floor was packed the whole night and our guests rated it as a top 3 wedding, for a fraction of the cost. Victor helped keep us on time with the timeline we provided him. He also honored all of our requests as listed on our profile via their website. I set the event up with Dominic who was very professional and very responsive to all my requests. You cannot beat the service they provide for the price. I highly recommend. read more

Dominic was awesome! We had our wedding at Karl Strauss and Sunset Mobile Music was part of the package. They have an online music selection feature that was really easy to use. Dominic reached out to us prior to the wedding to see if we had any questions or special requests. He was extremely professional. During the wedding, he helped with the announcements and kept the energy up. He did an amazing job with the music! He took the selections we requested and built a music list that all of our guests loved. That was the one thing everyone keeps taking about...the DJ! Everyone loved Dominic....the cake and Dominic. My advice to anyone getting married - get a great cake and hire Sunset Mobile Music. Your guests will love your wedding!! read more

I highly recommend Dom and Sunset Mobile. While we were searching for djs we never really found what we were looking for. Then we met Dom and saw his website. Man, it has nearly every song and allows you to select songs you want played or don't want to hear. I think my wife spent close to 20 hours carefully selecting all the right music. He allows you to enter everyone's name beforehand and spell it phonetically instead of telling the dj before he introduces the wedding party and hearing last name's be butchered. A really nice touch I thought was the inclusion of a space to include any family issues or recent events he should be aware of. With that we were able to list subjects that shouldn't be discussed or jokes that may offend some guests. During the event, and during my dad's speech my dad mentioned me loving Jump! by Van Halen as a child. Dom then proceeded to add that song to his list without being prompted and started playing it as soon as the speech was over. It's those personal touches that make me feel like Dom was the best dj for our event. He doesn't just play the top 100 songs and then call it a night, he enjoys his job and everyone at the wedding felt that and had a amazing time as a result. I highly recommend Sunset Mobile and hope you check out what they can provide for your upcoming events read more

Dominic from Sunset Mobile Music was absolutely, by far the best DJ I have seen since my wedding 21 years ago. You can have a nice event with an average DJ, but a great DJ makes a great event! Dominic set the tone and read the audience perfectly. He knew exactly which songs to play at the right time and all of the music was CLEAN as we requested. Sunset Mobile Music was professional, early, and excellently priced (we couldn't afford him, but he worked with us). He set up quickly and efficiently and worked our crowd of preschool thru high school girls and their fathers perfectly. He gave us a list of the 50 most popular Father Daughter songs. Our high schools girls chose their favorites from that list and he played those songs along with their other requests during dinner and dancing as appropriate. Can't say enough good things. Hire them! read more

Dominic is hands down the best DJ in San Diego area. The day we got our venue booked, we booked Dominic as well. He was a must have for our wedding day. We previously attended 3 weddings with Dominic as the DJ, and at all 3 weddings there were ALWAYS people on the dance floor. We had a nice consultation with Dominic and he got to know us and our music styles. He has a very detailed questionnaire for you to fill out so he can make sure the wedding music is just what you want. I also really liked that one of the questions was about how the DJ should dress, and the level of energy he has. I honestly think a DJ can make or break a wedding... and he made ours AMAZING! I to this day have people coming up to us and asking about our DJ or complimenting him. We also had multiple people get his card so he could be their DJ (and they are even engaged yet!) Words can not express how lucky I feel that Dominic was part of our big day! I hope to attend many more weddings with him DJing in the future. Oh and we decided to add uplighting and it was such a great decision. It brought the whole room together. He had no problem adding it on just a few weeks before the wedding. You won't be disappointed if you book Dominic! read more

Dominic was the DJ for my wedding and he was awesome! I still get compliments about how fun and great the wedding was and I do attribute that to Dominic's skill at getting everyone to dance and have a good time! He kept things moving smoothly between the speeches and also did a great job with the couples' dance and the centerpiece giveaway. I also appreciated Sunset Mobile Music's playlist-maker which allowed me and my husband to figure out what songs we wanted, didn't want, and might want. It was easy to use and we ended up with the best wedding ever! Thanks Dominic! read more

Sunset Mobile Music was a DJ for our recent wedding at La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla and I couldn't be any happier with their performance! The music flowed perfectly, the dancing never stopped and they made myself and my new husband feel so special :-) If we lived in California, they would do all our parties!! Kathy and Ruben Rivera El Paso Texas read more

Great job Jason, thanks for making our party great!!!! Natalie Bullock & Hitson Family!!! read more

Dominic is absolutely wonderful! He DJ'd for our wedding on February 14th, 2019. We received so many compliments about him and kept the dance floor going all night. He is very enthusiastic and has great energy! Dominic is very easy to work with and does a great job about incorporating your music suggestions. We would definitely hire him again! If you are looking for someone who will make a magical impact on your special day, look no further than Sunset Mobile Music! read more

Sunset Mobile Music was the vendor that our venue uses, so we didn't have a choice on DJs, but they did do a good job. They were very prompt on contacting me once we booked our reception site, and have a great online website for selecting music and making music choices. They did an amazing job of selecting music for the cocktail hour, as well as during the dance. My only complaint was that for our first dance song, the version they played was from a TV show, and had voice overs on it. It kind of ruined my first dance to hear characters from The OC talking over my song. I wish they would've listed to the entire song before playing it, or asked me to send them the album version without a voice over. Other than that, no complaints! read more

Dominic was the DJ for our 5K. He was filled with energy and transmitted that to the attendees. He knew how to read the crowd and was super helpful with making unscheduled announcements, etc. Thanks Dominic for helping make our event a success! read more

Our wedding coordinator highly recommended Dominic to us for our wedding and we were so happy she did! He was so easy to work with and made changes to our song list as last minute as the day before the wedding. We so appreciated how he took charge announcing certain events without hesitation and added humor and fun to the night! Our guests loved him too!! His experience and passion for his job is very evident! We look forward to working with Dominic again in the future as we plan on celebrating a lot in this beautiful life! read more

Dominic did it again! On Friday evening, our girl scout troop had their daddy,daughter dance. Dominic came prepared to not only play music the girls would enjoy, but also music the dads enjoyed all while making sure everyone was entertained and having a great time!!! We cannot thank you enough Dominic. Can't wait to plan our next event with you soon! Heather read more

Used them for our wedding. I was impressed with Dominic with his responsiveness at first but the week of the wedding, I was unimpressed. I updated this review from a 1 to a 2 star because Dominic sent an apology letter to make amends, which is the right thing to do but doesn't erase the following: The WEEK of the wedding, he told us he would absolutely not play music without a generator. That was a surprise to us. He said he refused to be liable with cords on the ground if we didn't get one-- okay so we get that, but it would have been nice to know 6 months prior when we wrote up the contract. He said he could get us a generator for $100. We agreed. He sent me an invoice later for $140. I get that $40 isn't that much, but why not honor what you originally said?! Or at least acknowledge and explain the difference before sending it to me?! To his credit, once I asked about it, he did honor the price he quoted me. His online system is not the most user-friendly, but I suppose it's better than nothing. There was a section you could put 25 "Must Play" songs and 25 "do not play" songs. HOWEVER, the DJ he sent us (Frank) did not follow what we had requested. After he played 3 consecutive songs from our DO NOT PLAY list and started taking requests (which we also said, please don't do), we were really confused. Did Dominic not give him the list of songs we spent HOURS on? In his amends, Dominic said it was because of the "heat and unbearable bugs" that he must have chosen the wrong playlist. In addition to playing songs we REALLY didn't want played (i.e., YMCA), he gave my husband the microphone for an impromptu speech. My wedding coordinator sent Dominic the detailed MINUTE-BY-MINUTE schedule for the DJ the week of the wedding, and a speech from us was definitely NOT in it. We never once even mentioned something of that nature in the 7 months of working with Dominic. Frank announced, "And now the bride and groom have something to say to the guests." WHAT?! We didn't have any time to even prepare before the mic was in our face and all 150 of our guests were staring, in silence. In Dominic's apology, he said it was because "most bride and grooms" give those speeches. Well, I guess we're mutant freaks. read more

We recently had a wedding in San Diego and hired Sunset Mobile Music as the DJ. Their website was useful and allowed you to customize all the special songs for the night. They had a wide selection to choose from and even found one they didn't have at our request. Unfortunately, a week before the wedding, we logged on and found that all our songs had been deleted that had been previously saved! It took us hours to input all our information again. Dominic, the DJ coordinator, was very friendly and called a few times before the wedding to offer any assistance and answer any questions. During the wedding, the DJ was very friendly and played all the songs requested. The speakers sounded fuzzy so the announcements could not be understood by our guests. Event announcement had to be repeated a number of times and as a result, we fell slightly behind schedule. It did not ruin the mood of the wedding but we've been to weddings with better DJs. read more

Dominic Dj'd our wedding and he was amazing! So friendly and always enthusiastic. Our guests couldn't stop talking about him and the music the next day! Thanks to Dominic and Sunset Mobile Music - you were all awesome! read more

Sunset Mobile Music DJ'd my wedding at the Karl Strauss Brewery in Sorrento Mesa, San Diego. We went for something different and opted for karaoke, and it was a BLAST! Very professional DJ, he kept checking on me (the bride) throughout the evening to ask questions and make sure things were going smoothly. Needless to say all my guests had a very fun and memorable night. I would recommend Sunset Mobile Music to anyone in the area looking for an event DJ. read more

Dominic was great! It was clear that he is an experienced wedding professional. He looked great and was very familiar with the Martin Johnson House. He was extremely responsive to my calls and emails, always getting back to me right away. The wedding went off without a hitch, and it was the greatest party ever! I told him I wanted dancing and he made it happen! It was a small wedding so the dance floor was small, but there was so much energy and so much fun! Would hire him again without question. Thanks! read more

See all

I would HIGHLY recommend Dominic of Sunset Mobile Music for any DJ needs! I was referred to him by Bernardo Winery, and I can see why! He is professional and punctual, has an easy song database to request and reject songs, and really was a fantastic emcee on our wedding day! He downloaded songs that were not in the database for us, and even played my dad's band's songs that I sent him. My Dad was delighted and shocked to hear his own tunes! Dominic has a great voice, and lead our guests through every step of the night. We had no problems with speakers or microphones- even during our windy ceremony-and the sound level was perfect. My family even complimented us on our choice of DJ. Dominic has a great personality, and is a genuinely nice guy! You are in good hands if you book him! read more

Sunset Mobile Music provided the DJ services for our ceremony and reception at Karl Strauss Brewery Gardens. Victor was our DJ, and we could not have been happier with the service. Pros -Their website is easy to use and very informative. The attention to detail really helped in our ceremony/reception planning -Prompt, professional correspondence from Dominic (owner) in the many months preceding our event. -Flexibility! They had the ability to tailor our soundtrack to our liking, and work with our videographer to capture the ceremony audio for clarity. Cons: NONE I plan on recommending Sunset Mobile Music to anyone in need of a DJ for their upcoming event. Thanks again for helping our event go so well! We had lots of compliments :) read more

We had our wedding at Karl Strauss, for which Sunset Mobile Music is the DJ (they don't really give you an option). Not having options made me a very very nervous bride. I didn't know if they were good, terrible, if they cared about what they were doing, or anything. So my fiance and I spent two weeks putting together a complete playlist from the time people were finding their seats before the ceremony to the very last dance of the evening. We didn't want to leave the music to chance! Our DJ was Dominic, the owner, and I got to speak with him over the phone a couple times to outline what we wanted. Hah, outline. The poor guy probably thought I was mental, but he was really extraordinarily sweet and reassuring. I was still nervous, so we burned all the music we picked out on CDs and gave them to him, and crossed or fingers. Well, I feel really silly for worrying so much. Dominic was amazing the entire time. He loved our playlist (which was good, because we loved it too!), stuck to it as requested (though we did agree that he needed some wiggle room in the song order for the dancing part of the evening), and added some special touches that just made everyone's time that much more fun. He's got a great personality, and super fun energy, and just goes with the prevailing energy of the room. We had so many compliments on our music, which wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been flawless in playing it and presenting it. He was great with the speeches, even hooked up our guitarist to speakers so my processional could be heard above the ambient noise of the koi pond, and mic'd our officiant. Everyone heard the ceremony, it was crystal clear, and then the entire dancing part of the night was non-stop amazingness. All our guests danced their feet off - I've never seen such a consistently packed dance floor at a wedding in my life! And that was my big fear - that no one would dance. Our wedding was the best party of my life, and Dominic gets a huge chunk of the credit. read more

Dominic definitely went above and beyond our expectations! He was always very responsive to any of our questions via e-mail and when it came down to our wedding day, he was fantastic! While my husband and I were eating our dinner and other guests were being served, we noticed Dominic was going around to some of our tables chatting with our guests - we REALLY loved that and our guests all commented on how nice he is. His energy is contagious and we are so happy we chose him to be such a big part of our wedding day! Thanks, Dominic!! read more

Sunset mobile music is the best dj to book your wedding in the San Diego area. We had our wedding package booked through San Diego destination weddings. Our coordinator Jacquelyn Mendoza knows her stuff and booked the best dj for our wedding. The dj Jason put on all the songs we requested and was very accommodating and kept the party rolling all night from our first dance to the cake cutting to the last dance of the evening. Before the wedding started jason was in constant contact with us to make sure we get everything we wanted for the evening. He even did a special request to put my favorite movie song during dinner which was ghostbusters. When your having your wedding make sunset mobile music your first choice! read more

We hired Sunset Mobile Music for our wedding last year. I can't speak on all the DJs, but my guests and I LOVED Dominic! He was very friendly and professional and truly knew how to let the party flow, yet still inject energy when necessary. Everyone was on the dance floor all night. Our wedding was held at a private home, and Dominic brought in all equipment and made the space work. Also, their rates were much more reasonable than comparable DJs in town. read more

Wow! I had my wedding at Karl Strauss on July 18th and included in the package is DJ service by Sunset Mobile Music. It was so great- they have an awesome website where you can pick as many or as little songs as you want. I picked most of the songs for the 'events' of the wedding (first dance, father/daughter, cake cutting, garter, etc) and also picked a few 'must play' songs. I worked with Dominic throughout the choosing process and he helped me with some input and was very responsive. Victor was our DJ at the wedding and he was amazing!!! The dancing and music was some of the best parts of the wedding. Multiple people came up to me during the wedding and after raving about how great the music was. I did choose a lot of the songs however Victor took a lot of my suggestions and added to it which was great. He really added to the base that I provided and his additions went with the whole vibe of the wedding. I couldn't say more good things about it Victor, Dominic, and Sunset Mobile DJ experience in general, it was great! read more

Dominic was the best!! He was so easy to work and such a nice guy! The website was easy to use and it had great song suggestions. We let him choose some songs as needed throughout the night and he did a wonderful job! The party kept going and he knew exactly when a particular type of song was needed. Almost all my guests got up to dance at some point and it was such an awesome time. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted and it couldn't have been any better. We were beyond happy!! read more

Dominic was the DJ for my wedding 1 week ago. From my first email/call Dominic really went above and beyond. My fiancé and I live in Long Beach and when Dominic made a trip nearby he suggested we meet. This saved us a long drive to San Diego (awesome when there is so much else going on). It was clear from our interview that Dominic really knew our venue, Bernardo Winery. Other DJs I interviewed were less familiar with the venue and seemed less experienced with weddings in general. Another big help was that he cut a song up for my fiancé's father-daughter dance which turned out fantastic. All the other music for the event was selected specifically to get guests out on the dance floor laughing and having a good time. We received tons of compliments about how great the music was. All this and Dominic's price was better than other DJs I interviewed. I couldn't recommend him more! read more

Dominic was the DJ for my wedding and he was great! We booked our wedding with Karl Strauss and Sunset Mobile Music was part of the package. Dominic reached out to us early on and we got access to a very easy to use website to choose our music. He was very accomadating and understood our needs. We're a very low key couple and our families, likewise, so he was able to choose the right songs to play during the wedding. There were also a few last minute changes to the schedule, but Dominic was able to handle everything with ease and grace. My friends and family all think Dominic was very professional in demeanor and skill. If you are in the San Diego area, I highly recommend Sunset Mobile Music and Dominic, in particular, to play at anyone's wedding or party! read more

Sunset Mobile Music did a fantastic job at our wedding! They were thorough, engaged, and have an excellent selection of music. They even got the special song that we asked for! Dominic replied to my emails promptly and had everything very well organized! Highly recommended! read more

Dominic was great! My family loved him and he was a true professional. He played ALL the music we wanted him to and at all the right times!! He made our wedding so fun!! Even though we are from LA my family want to hire him again! read more

Dominic DJ'd my wedding and did a great job! Everyone loved the music and he kept it lively. I didn't have a coordinator for my wedding (big mistake), but I had an outline for my timing of events that I gave to Dominic 2 weeks before the wedding. Of course, on the big day I was pulled in a million directions and had no concept of time. Dominic was awesome and would come tip me off that it was time to end cocktail hour, do the first dance, etc. Thank goodness we hired him because he kept our wedding and reception on track and everyone dancing! read more

Hi Dominic, Now that the dust has settled, the family has gone, and the honeymooners are in another country I can take a minute to say thank you! You were so awesome Sunday! I truly appreciate how you took charge of the event. You put me at ease right away....you were one of the only vendors I did not have to worry about or have issues with. ( you and our photographer were the most awesome). The sound quality at the ceremony was outstanding. I really appreciate how you accommodated our speaker and the extra songs at the end. I heard every word and appreciate that so much. You kept the entire event on pace without feeling rushed. Your interaction with our guests was awesome. I appreciated how you personally dismissed the tables for dinner, very classy. The intro of the wedding party was so fun and really set the mood for a party. My mom and dad even had fun and danced:). My legs and feet still hurt from dancing so much. Most of all Cari and Kyle had so much fun. Again thank you so much for everything. I will definitely be recommending you to all of my friends and family! read more
