Hieu is hands down the best DJ/Emcee out there! He knows exactly how to hype up a crowd and get everyone on the dance floor. He played the perfect mix of music based on our preferences, and you know it's good when both the young folks and the elderly are out there dancing and having a blast! Thanks to him, our wedding was truly unforgettable--so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had attended all year! His wedding monogram added such a beautiful touch to the night. What sets Hieu apart is that he does everything himself, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. If you're looking for a top-tier DJ/Emcee in the Bay Area, we highly recommend Hieu. He will make your event one to remember! read more

X-Generation Entertainment - Party & Event Planning Near Me

We are so happy that DJ Hieu was available for our September 2024 wedding! BOOKING We were looking for a English and Vietnamese speaking DJ and received multiple referrals from our vendors to contact Anh Hieu. He responded right away to our email, provided a detailed document with his packages and pricing, and scheduled an introduction call to walk through our needs and budget. We got married at Silver Creek Valley Country Club and he has past experience working there for multiple weddings. We got along with him really well and decided to book him as our DJ/MC and included sound/lighting/photobooth/sparklers. PLANNING We had a 1 hour planning call 1 week before our wedding to walk through our timeline, script, important moments, music requests, lighting and music cues, and overall logistics to prepare on-site. We provided him our full song list and marked the ones that were on the do not play list. We also provided him practice videos of our dances and specific time cuts of our songs. He asked all the right questions and was very organized. We felt like we were in very good hands. ON-SITE Hieu and his crew arrived early to set up and were ready to go for the ceremony. We didn't run into any mic/audio issues that I'm aware of and everything sounded great. We were a bit behind on our schedule but Hieu was very flexible and patient as we quickly tried to speed up the program to get back on track. He was very dynamic and had a great entertainer's voice that was clear and easy to understand in both English and Vietnamese. He customized the lighting for different parts of the night and had a sick set up for our group dance that turned into open dancing. We requested a lot of 2010s EDM, hip hop and pop songs and everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! We asked him to play bangers the last hour and it was definitely a party! ADD-ONS: The cold sparklers were AMAZING! I 100% recommend getting them if your venue allows it. We had them light up during our first dance lift and group dance and everyone went crazy! The Magic Me photobooth was also super cool! We were able to customize the background, message and photo print design ahead of time and a team member was there to help take photos and keep the line moving. We received the digital photo gallery a few days later and it included both standard and animated GIF versions. BONUS: Their team took a super awesome video reel of our wedding highlights and posted on their social channels. It was so awesome to see the guests' POV and have a recap video while we wait for our official wedding video. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_88vxcS4WF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I highly recommend booking X-Generation Entertainment for your special day. Thank you Anh Hieu and team for everything! read more

Out of this world professionalism and technology! Loved every moment from beginning to the end. Working with Hieu made my wedding smooth and easy. My family enjoyed X-Generation Entertainment and how they set up the photo booth (mirror technology with fun themed props). The lighting made the pictures so beautiful. Everything was timed accordingly and we had an awesome time singing karaoke and dancing. Thank you again for making our wedding so special. read more

Call me insane, but I booked my DJ before I booked my wedding venue. I read great reviews on Yelp about Hieu and was very interested in his services because he is bilingual. He did not disappoint! He used to be a Vietnamese radio host so he is quite fluent in Vietnamese. In addition to the DJ/music services, he offers lighting and the mirror photo booth services as well. The mirror photo booth is of the latest technology. It's a mirror you look into and take selfies with a touch-screen that allows you to draw/sign/stick emojis on your photos. It's also interactive. It tells you to "scream" or do specific facial expressions. For lighting, he offers gobo lights, custom monogram lights, uplighting, spotlights, etc. He also offers projector/karaoke equipment. What I liked about his DJ service is that he has a website you login to to choose your top 100 songs you must have, maybe have (if there's time), and for sure do not want to have. The selection's vast (I was surprised Cashmere Cat was already on the list options) and you can input custom songs if you want something that's not on that list. He does a one hour phone consultation with you when you decide to book. You pay $500 deposit up front and pay the rest on the date of your wedding. He was familiar with the venue I chose (SCVCC) and had been there before so it was nice to know that he knew exactly where everything should be set up and how the room lighting was. I debated about going with a different venue before (Willow Heights Mansion) but that wedding didn't allow outside DJs and that was a major drawback for me. Regardless of if you need Vietnamese language services, you should consider Xgeneration! His English is perfect too. He is not a specifically "Vietnamese wedding" DJ. I couldn't be happier with Hieu. He picked up on details of my husband's vows and incorporated it into the reception. He kept us on track even after we were pushed off schedule. He made sure to not miss anything in our schedule and he was able to take guest's requests kindly. His Vietnamese is eloquent and professional and his English is also exceptional. My family was so impressed by him and many of my friends have tried to book him for their own wedding! It was so nice to feel at ease knowing that Hieu was m/c for my wedding. He incorporated small bits into his speech about my husband's Russian heritage and he had a sense of humor and gave shout outs to certain guests. Aside from dj or photo booth services, he also provided the lights for my venue. You can also add a fog machine option for your first dance if you want that romantic or dreamy look. Booking Hieu was 100% one of the top 3 best wedding decisions I made. Thank you so much Hieu for making my wedding day perfect! read more

There's a reason X-Generation Entertainment has nothing but 5-star reviews. Hieu does it all. He'll hook you up with some great up-lighting for your venue, monograms, fog machines... you name it, he can provide it. He was also our DJ and emcee (Vietnamese and English) for the night. He's like the equivalent of a Vietnamese Ryan Seacrest. He has that voice of a primetime TV/Radio host. He's there, but he's in the background and not stealing the show from the wedding party (but he probably could). He pours his heart into what he does and it shows. There's nothing this man cannot do. We found Hieu through my wife's brother and he did not disappoint. Even before the actual wedding, he gave us numerous ideas on what he thinks would look nice during the reception and even showed us some of his previous work at our venue. We pretty much just went with his best judgement and wow, he sure know how to light a place up. Everyone loved our simple, yet beautiful set up. We met with him on a couple of occasions prior to the wedding, and went over the timelines that we developed with our DOC. You will instantly know that he's been doing this for awhile as he gave us input for what he thinks will flow nicely during the reception. We picked our song list for entrance songs, 1st dance, father daughter dance, and he listened to them and told us where he would make the fade outs so as to let us know when to expect the song to end so that we could get some choreography going. He is constantly thinking about how to keep things flowing. Without asking, he even explained the meaning behind the song for the father-daughter dance for those non-Vietnamese speakers. It's those little things that sets him apart from the rest. We can't thank Hieu enough for all that he did for our reception and some of the pre-planning. I would highly recommend him to any friends and family. If anyone is in need of a DJ/Emcee, look no further. But book early, I hear he's very popular in the SJ area. read more

The #1 entertainment group for your wedding, hands down. My wedding was and will be crazier than yours. Trust me. PG&E shut down the power to our venue on the morning of our wedding. X-Generation was there EVERY STEP of the way. Let me tell you our story and you can decide afterward. 7:30 AM, PG&E shut the power down to half of the NorCal Bay area. I'm in shock. I call Hieu and he tells me his power is out at his house. I'm still in shock. My fiance is panicking, but I'm still in shock. I just remember telling Hieu the night before, "let's roll the dice, PG&E isn't going to shut it off." LOL! So imagine this day...everything we have planned up to this point is basically moot and we just had to wing it. X-Generation MADE IT HAPPEN. Without Hieu and his team organizing, it would've been a disaster. Just to call this out specifically, Hieu and his team even bought a wireless battery operated BOSE outdoor speaker the day before and had it Amazon Prime'd next day to accommodate us in case the power was out. BOSE speakers aren't cheap! So when that nasty PG&E decided to restore our power, Hieu quickly spoke with our coordinator and we were able to move our wedding back indoors when it got dark. Hieu was able to move his outdoor audio setup indoors while we did a sparkler exit so that when people turned to go back inside the venue, they were greeted indoors to a huge party room (we got married at Silver Creek Valley CC). Not only was the wedding not cur short, but we also ended up getting a 1/2 outdoor 1/2 indoor wedding with beautiful California sunset scenery. This does not happen and Hieu and his team set it all p so seamlessly that people thought our wedding was planned that way. Nobody knew about the drama from the morning with the power. All of this was just the setup for the audio! Let me mention we also got the photo booth package, additional lighting, MC/DJ, smoke, and unofficial coordinator! We weren't able to do all the things we wanted to do because of the power situation but it all worked out. Hieu was also like our support and backbone. When things started to look bad, he was there and advised us. He has a lot of experience and knew exactly what to do. My wife is also Vietnamese and so he was able to translate English into Vietnamese and it was really helpful because we had a lot of elders visiting from Vietnam. There is so much to add, but yea, X-Generation is the best. Hieu is probably booked but contact him anyway. You will not regret. read more

Believe it or not Hieu was the first vendor I had booked and made sure of securing before any other vendors once my husband and I had figured out our date. Thanks to Yelp, I had found an Hieu who not only speaks fluent English but also in Vietnamese. This was so important to me as I am the last one in the family to not only get married but the only one to step outside of the whole "traditional Vietnamese wedding" and had it at The Club in Ruby Hill. I wanted to have both side of the family understand what was going on during our ceremony and reception as well and let me tell you Hieu knocked it out the ball park. My parents were so impressed by his MC - once he spoke I felt like his voice was so similar and professional like Ong Nguyen Ngoc Ngan on Paris by Night but a much younger version. Hieu is an all in one package deal - MC, Lighting, Photobooth, DJ, Slideshows, Non Official Officiant that's right you heard it! I couldn't find an officiant in time for my wedding and had asked Hieu if you're going to MC for my wedding why not be my Officiant as well. Hieu took on the challenge and I'm so thankful he did. He interpret my husband's and I's vows and had both parents bawling their eyes during our ceremony. It was so much more touching and meaningful when both side of the family were able to understand what's going on. During the whole wedding planning process there are timelines, and music for each particular timeline as well as lighting. He goes off of your theme colors and will add his opinions which I believe are super helpful. When it came down to music selections for dinner time, table greetings, lighting inside the venue I had place all my trust in Hieu to make the executive decision. I had a surprise Flash Mob performance and Hieu executed the lights so well with the beat when I was watching it off a recorded Iphone. It looked amazing!! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect and we're so thankful to have Hieu be part of our special day. Thank you so much!! I have attached a few photos to give you a glimpse of his amazing work. read more

Hieu is the Man!! Where do I even start? From the very start Hieu has been extremely professional, helpful, and passionate about his work. We had to postpone our wedding three times due to COVID restrictions, but Hieu has been along side with us since the very beginning. He is not only an MC/DJ, but he specializes in lighting, audio/visuals, photo booth, and much more. We wanted to book an MC that was fluent in Vietnamese and of course without question, it had to be Hieu. Extremely well spoken in both English/Vietnamese, but would not surprise me if he pulled out some other languages from out his sleeve. From the bottom of our hearts, Carolyn and I would like to thank Hieu and his team for making our wedding such a blast. Now time to recover from our weeklong hangover. Thanks a million XGeneration!! read more

I don't think I can put into words how amazing Hieu was at our wedding and all the planning before the wedding. Hieu was the perfect MC and DJ for my wedding. He speaks fluent Vietnamese and fluent English. He is able to MC and entertain in both languages. He was able to translate Vietnamese speeches to English for our non-Vietnamese guests. Not only can he speak both languages, he is able to make jokes and entertain in Vietnamese, which is really difficult to find. Trust me, I looked up SEVERAL DJs and MCs. Before the wedding, we met with Hieu twice in person to go over logistics. He was able to convince us to have him handle our up lights at the reception as well as hire him as our DJ and MC. The up lights are wireless (no one tripping through the night, great with drunk guests), and he has full control of the lights all night. Hieu is very professional in demeanor and very easy to talk to. The second meeting with Hieu, we went through the timeline of the reception. Having done this several times before, Hieu knew all the questions to ask and knew everything we needed to do. Hieu has a lot of experience with Vietnamese wedding receptions, and so he understands everything that comes with it. During the reception, everything went very smoothly, and I would like to thank Hieu for this. Not only did everything go smoothly, the place looked gorgeous with his uplights. Because he can change the lights on the spot, I was able to tell him to change the colors to what I preferred. Our colors were teal and pink. Being a perfectionist, I am really particular with the teal I wanted. I also wanted to make sure certain areas were highlighted with a different color uplight. All this was done seamlessly with Hieu. As for music and entertainment, Hieu did a great job. I am more into the alternative scene for music, and I wanted to make sure that the music before dancing were my type of music. Hieu did a great job at playing all of my favorites, but also knowing when to switch it to a Top 40 song for the crowd. He had no issue playing my All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, or Pierce The Veil along with many other bands. I am eternally grateful for this. For the dancing portion, Hieu did an amazing job keeping the music upbeat and having a couple of slow songs in there to give people a break. It was such a great dance party, and my husband and I had a lot of fun. All of our friends and family loved the DJ. For the last song of the night, Hieu remixed one of my favorite songs by All Time Low to a more dancing song. He did this without me having to ask for it. He figured out to do based on our interactions and the requests I've made previously. I was ecstatic when it came on, and it meant the world to me. It was the perfect way to end the night. TL:DR - Hire Hieu and X-Generation Entertainment. You won't regret this decision. read more

I think all the great reviews already mentioned everything that you need to know about Hieu when considering an MC like him: 1. Fluent in both English & Vietnamese (Best in SJ) 2. Funny, professional, and knows how to work it 3. Book early! The man is very popular and busy! Thank you Hieu for hosting my wedding reception, you made the night run smoothly by making sure we stayed on schedule. My guests were thoroughly entertained! P.s. Thank you for throwing in the ceiling gobo lighting, you didn't have to but Huy and I loved every bit of it. We can't thank you enough for being such a cool vendor to work with. You definitely made our night! We got so lucky and feel blessed that we were able to book you last minute! :) read more

I am very happy that I went with Hieu! Being more Americanized than Vietnamese, I wanted a wedding that blended both cultures well. The music was important because my family LOVES to dance and the DJ had to be Vietnamese since 90 percent of the guests barely spoke English. He works with you up until the day of your wedding. Very professional, very accommodating, speaks English and Vietnamese fluently, doesn't talk too much. He has an electronic system that lets you pick out all the songs you want to play at your wedding. You have almost complete control of the playlist and what happens. At first I was thinking of separating the groups of people with a DJ in the ceremony room and a live band in the main room because I was so scared that there would be this divide. Play too much young people music, the old people leave and vice versa. The real reason I'm giving him 5 stars is because he was able to get EVERYONE out on the dance floor together and I do mean everyone. I specifically requested to have some time for the older generation to dance. That included some Vietnamese music. Soon everyone started joining in, even the young people. Everyone stayed even after the American music came on. It was such a sight to see my 60+ uncle dancing to Usher or something like that. My goal was for everyone to have fun and I got so many compliments from people of all ages about the music. Hieu was able to help me bring everyone together and dance the night away. I will always be grateful for that. read more

Guys, you don't need to read all the reviews. JUST BOOK HIM PLEASE! I found him on Yelp and it was the best decision I've ever made. My husband and I live and work full time in Sacramento so the only time we were available to meet up was on weekends when he was always booked for weddings. I was nervous at first but after getting on the phone with him, we trusted him 100%. He went above and beyond and made sure we had the best moments of our lives on our special day. He helped us plan our wedding timeline (like an event, exactly the way we wanted). We finally met him in person on our wedding day. Not going to lie, that made me nervous as hell because he was in charge of the lighting services besides DJ-ing lol. BUT omg Hieu was amazing. The way he placed all the lights enhanced our theme colors and brightened everything up. His MC skills were phenomenal. When he said he's fluent in both Vietnamese and English, he wasn't kidding. He knew where to come in to make our event go smoothly. He kept checking our timelime to make sure we were on track. His fog machine was extraordinary and he literally kept everyone dancing all night. That's how good of a DJ he is. He's one the BEST. We were so lucky to have him for our wedding. You gotta book him a year in advance though because he's super busy. All of our guests loved him and many wanted his contact. Thanks again for you all you did for our wedding, anh Hieu! Please feel free to check out our wedding highlight here to see all the lighting effects and fog magic :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4nyrtOEZ8w read more

Hieu was the DJ and MC for our 300-person wedding in San Jose back in January. My husband is Vietnamese American and I'm not, so it was important to us to have a DJ who spoke both English and Vietnamese fluently. Hieu did a fantastic job, from our initial meeting with him through the event. He was extremely professional and gave us lots of useful information to help us in planning our event. His website was great - he has a ton of music, which was organized in a way that we could find everything easily and share our preferences with him. He also was very willing to get music that he didn't already have (including a random song from Karate Kid, and Praan song from a YouTube video that we like). Thanks to him, the entire night was fun, smooth, and on-schedule. He adapted to last-minute changes and whims of the bride without missing a beat. Several guests commented on how great our DJ was. Points they mentioned included his extensive karaoke selection, skill at mixing, music choices, and smooth English-Vietnamese transitions. His pricing was very competitive, especially considering the high quality of service and sound system. He stayed until the bitter end...around midnight, for no extra charge. read more

We booked Hieu for our wedding and it was the best decision ever! His charming personality and witty sense of humor was a hit with our crowd! We needed a bilingual DJ, fluent in Vietnamese and English, and could not have been happier with Hieu's ability to smoothly improvise, while gracefully providing off-the-cuff translation of speeches and toasts. We also appreciated the valuable insight Hieu had regarding the flow of our ceremony and reception. He was able to identify issues and conflicts in our timeline that even our event planner had missed. Do yourself and your partner a favor, and book Hieu for your wedding! read more

One thing everyone should have when planning a wedding reception is a great MC. We first saw Hieu in action at our cousin's wedding last year and he was referred to us by several others. He's a great entertainer and he knows how to get everyone to have a good time. We had our reception in Vietnamese and English and he did a great job tying it all together! He recommended fun games and kept the crowd going all night. Couldn't have been happier with Hieu and his team! read more

Hieu is amazing! I booked without meeting him because he's just THAT good! Come on, look at all the 5 stars review PLUS word of mouth from friends and family :) He does everything from MC, lighting, and now photo booth! He has the latest technology and also has an online tool on where you can select your music choices without the email hassle. On my wedding day, Hieu showed up early to get his equipment set up. I was able to work with him on the spot to pick the lighting color that best suited for reception and dinner time. I loved his wireless technology which meant no drunk guests tripping on wires ;) He was a natural for the MC service. We had a surprise lion dance for our guests and Hieu was able to get everyone "hyped" up for it. Also, I missed the queue to toss my bouquet to the single ladies and he played it off so well- "guess the bride isn't ready to give up her bouquet yet!" Book him EARLY! He is so popular that he's usually booked out at least a year in advance. read more

Hieu is absolutely amazing! He does it all: DJ, MC, and Lighting. He is very prompt with replies, which we appreciated. Up to the wedding, Hieu was always open to meetings, to make sure everything was the way we wanted. He was super helpful, with plenty of recommendations. I didn't have too many song requests, and was very happy with the song selections he chose. We loved that Hieu knew how to speak Vietnamese respectfully to our parent's older guests and is fluent in English as well. All of our guests danced until the end of the night! We could not have been happier with his work. read more

Hugh was a excellent choice as a DJ, MC, and Karaoke service for our Vietnamese American wedding in San Jose. He definitely made it very special, glamorous, and was very professionally dressed.

He also has a easy online form to fill out with all the music we wanted. The adults and elders enjoyed the karaoke.

Hieu was the MC and DJ for our June wedding. My partner and I wanted to do a bicultural wedding and was determined to find an MC that was fluent in both Vietnamese and English. We found Hieu through yelp and are glad that we chose to go with him. At the wedding we found out that Hieu also MC and DJ'd my cousin's wedding almost 8 years ago! My partner and I had a very specific way of wanting the reception to be held. We wanted a bicultural atmosphere as opposed to a primarily Vietnamese or western vibe. We wanted classy, no jokes, no games, no frills, or boring as some would say. Hieu delivered the atmosphere and vibe that we wanted and it was received very positively by our friends and family. After the wedding, we provided Hieu with some feedback and he was very receptive. I appreciate those who genuinely care about their business and will listen to feedback without taking it personally. With that being said, I'd highly recommend Hieu. He is fluent in both Vietnamese/English, and can definitely deliver whatever kind of atmosphere you're looking for. He's also an excellent DJ- everyone loved he music! read more

Oh you people in the Bay area are so lucky to have this company around! I wish we could book him but unfortunately the reception is not in the Bay. I'll just have to cry for a few days for not having the best MC at our wedding. I've been to many weddings and no MC stood out like Hieu. When I attended our friend's wedding in Norcal, I was surprised how good he is. Not just that but he's fluent in Vietnamese AND English! Hieu is quite a character and would know how to entertain your guests. I recommended him to another friend that got married after and she booked him right away! He did a phenomenal job at her wedding as well. Make sure to book him in advance because he's quite popular. And trust me, he IS the guy when it comes to searching for a great MC/DJ on your big day! read more

Anh Hieu is awesooooome! I was able to book him a year in advance before my wedding for lighting and MC/DJ. His English is clear so my side of the family can understand, and his Vietnamese is fluent for my hubs side. He has a detailed website that creates a timeline and playlist for your wedding which keeps us on track and smooth sailing during the reception. He's high tech, I can send him my remix via text and have it playing crystal clear on my wedding day. All his lights are LED wireless and his DJ skills is excellent with good music playing all night. He controls the lighting to change the mood throughout the evening with an iPad which is super cool! I have seen him at a few of my friends wedding so I already knew I picked the right MC for us! Everything was perfect! Thanks so much for your hard work on our special day! read more

We booked with X- Generation for our wedding about 10 months in advance. Due to some unexpected circumstances, we had to postpone it for 2 years. Hugh is very professional, thoughtful and helped us throughout the way. He sat with us to design the event script and provided his experienced vision to guide our ideas. As the event drew near, we had last minute changes that we wanted, and Hugh flawlessly incorporate into the script. We had many guest comments that our wedding was one of the most fun wedding they had ever attended. And I'd like to attribute this to the quality and excellent work provided by Hugh and his team. If you can book Hugh, you won't be disappointed. read more

Hieu is the best in the business. I don't know how a perfect wedding can happen without Hieu as their MC/DJ. We live about 2 hours away and so meeting up with any of our vendors was hard to do. We google-chatted with Hieu once prior to booking him and once prior to the wedding; along with a few emails back and forth. He was VERY responsive when I had questions. Even with a few interactions in-between booking and the actual wedding date- I put all my trust into Hieu because I knew he was the best out there and saying he delivered was an understatement! Our wedding went SO smooth and I could have not asked for anything more from Hieu. I've been to plenty of weddings without Hieu as the MC/DJ and no MC/DJ I have encountered are up to par with Hieu. Money well spent. read more

Hieu was awesome! He followed our wedding timeline closely, was enthusiastic, entertaining, and super friendly! Everyone thought he was a great emcee. He is also fluent in Vietnamese and English. read more

Ngoc Hieu is truly a man of many talents - one stop shop for your wedding needs! His reputation as an amazing MC who can speak fluent Vietnamese and English drew us to him initially - we had to make sure we book him very early on to ensure our date. When we met with him, we were so impressed by how thorough and professional he is. In terms of keeping up with the newest technology, Ngoc Hieu has it all - wireless lighting, sound systems, photobooth mirror that also took our formal guest photos, fog machine - you name it! Through the process, Ngoc Hieu essentially became our wedding coordinator. There's nothing he can't do!! read more

This 5 star review is a month overdue. I met Hugh, the MC/DJ/owner 2 years ago at a friend's wedding. And on that day I had a wish that if I've ever got married one day, I would definitely book this MC like...for sure!! Well, guess what, I caught the bouquet that night and a year later my wish came true Besides MC/DJ, we also booked his Lighting and unique Mirror Photobooth services as well. It was such a pleasure to work with Hugh. He was amazingly professional and super friendly!! On the big day, Hugh and his team provided phenomenal services that guests were so impressed. Endless compliments kept coming our way on "your MC". His personality and bilingual skill blended so well with our wedding and kept everyone laughing. Especially the mirror photobooth was a hit! We were able to customize our own backdrop with our names and hashtag. The pictures came out in couple seconds and sent directly to guests via text messages. Everyone had so much fun taking pictures. Honestly, our wedding wouldn't be a success without Hugh and his team. THANK YOU for everything!!! read more

Hieu was wonderful!! We booked him well in advance (I think a year and a half prior) because he really is that popular. Our wedding party had a good mix of young adults and older folk, and half spoke only Vietnamese. Hieu was so smooth, charismatic, and professional. He knew how to cater not only to the bride and groom, but also to the crowd. Everyone loved his style, and he has such a smooth voice. He kept the entire party entertained and played a diverse set of music. He also handles hiccups with ease. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him. Our only regret was not having him sing! We completely forgot to request a few songs, but that guy has skills. As if that wasn't enough, Hieu does more than just DJ/MC. His lighting is AMAZING. The best in the business. Hieu's equipment is all wireless, meaning you're not getting any ugly cables running around the floor of your venue. He controls everything from his iPad or laptop. And just from our initial meeting we could sense the passion he has for his work. Lighting isn't something most brides and grooms think about, but it completely transforms a venue. The lighting was dynamic and changed with the mood throughout the night. So beautiful! He also helped us with our wedding timeline and song selections. We were so impressed with everything he did. Seriously, go book Hieu!! read more

Very Late Post!! But I feel like I should still write it. We feel we were very fortunate to have booked Hieu for our Wedding on Nov. 29 2014. I only had to worry about Music and Alcohol, while my wife managed all the other vendors. I procrastinated and waited till mid September to begin looking for a DJ for the wedding. It didn't become apparent how lucky I was to book Hieu until we met and he showed us his calendar which was solidly booked all the way through 2015 and early 2016. I lucked out and our date was previously booked but was canceled when I contacted him. We were only originally going to book Hieu for DJ services, but after speaking with him we were sold on obtaining the whole package (DJ, MC, Lighting). We cancelled our previously booked MC and took out the event lighting from the decorator contract, to go with Hieu. Our Parents had heard of Hieu and when we told them we were trying to book him and cancel the our previously booked MC, they were more than okay with it, they were happy we were able to book him. They had heard of Hieu from his time working on Vietnamese Radio. His English and Vietnamese was very good. The setup leading up to the wedding day was easy too. We worked with him to create our timeline and we met several times to ensure it went smoothly, or as smoothly as any planned event can go. He provided music for our ceremony at the ranch golf club (extra $ since its a second location), and it was raining hard in the morning. We had a huge downpour around 5-7AM, and it was light showers from then on, and I just remember our guests complaining that we were seating them out in the rain which was a nightmare. As I was standing there with the golf club coordinator, Hieu was signaling me to go for it and keep it in the rain, and so we did. As we all made the guests get in their seats, the rain stopped, and the sun came out. During the ceremony, it almost had a ray of light poke through the clouds. His event lighting (uplighting, ceiling GOGOs,) was truly amazing. We were wowed by it as it could. The lighting would be coordinated with the agenda and music, and dim as necessary or be bright for speeches. I would highly recommend this feature. It created an ambiance that regular single color lights can't give. All in all, it was pleasant to work with him and he did a fantastic job!!! read more

My husband and I were not locals when planning our wedding in Cupertino/Saratoga. Hieu was very prompt with responding to any questions and thorough with services rendered. I just had my 1 year anniversary, and long overdue to give Hieu a review. What stands out to this day, Hieu was very responsive and professional from beginning to end. My husband and I are Vietnamese and knew we would be going the bilingual route for the wedding introductions, Hieu masterfully MC'd no hiccups. It was a pleasure doing business with Hieu, and I highly recommend him for MC, DJ/sound, and lighting services. read more

Hieu is as good as it gets . He's a great MC and DJ. He speaks both Vietnamese and English. He has great equipment and the light show that he has is phenomenal. I've been to several events where he has been the DJ and he is just absolutely awesome. I'm planning a party for February, and he's my choice! Five stars, this company rocks! read more

Hieu was the MC for our wedding and everyone absolutely loved him. He's quick on his feet, his English and Vietnamese was on par! and he knows how to have a good time. We would definitely hire him again if needed and recommend him to everyone else! We hired him for our MC and Projector. His Projector is in HD so our slideshow was sharp and crisp! He also does full on DJ'ing and uplighting. Thanks so much Hieu!! -Annie & Kevin read more

Hieu was recommended to us by one of our wedding vendors. We decided to hire Hieu as our DJ, MC, and lighting person. Boy, we were not disappointed. On the contrary, we were blown away with his work! Hieu is an amazing guy in general. He took time to meet with us, answered all of our questions, and gave wonderful recommendations. On two occasions, he met with us for over an hour and even helped us coordinate our wedding timeline. On the day of, Hieu was a charismatic and funny MC! But the thing that topped it all off was his lighting. Because of his lighting, it set the mood of our wedding. It made our venue look so beautiful! I highly recommend Hieu! read more

See all

Hieu is a must at your wedding! We booked him way in advance since he is a hot commodity in the Silicon Valley, especially if you want someone who can DJ as well as MC. Hieu is a very nice, organized, and passionate about his work. My husband and I are still receiving compliments even after our wedding on September 1st 2017. His assistants were also very nice, and made sure we felt special on the day of our wedding. Hieu, thank you for an impeccable job and for making my family feel valued. read more

Hieu was our MC/DJ for our wedding as well as his new released service, lighting! Hieu was also recommended by our wedding coordinator, My-Dung. She was right! He was the best bilingual MC out there servicing the Bay Area. Not only his English was on par, but his Vietnamese was as well. Hieu made everything very easy for us with his fill out form he provides to his clients once booked. We met up with Hieu multiple times throughout the year discussing our wedding and providing him with any updates we may had. Hieu provided exceptional sound for our ceremony and reception at The Ranch Golf Club. Hieu has just upgraded his equipment, so you know you will have nothing but the best sound quaility and DJing services if you book him. All his equipment is top notch and wireless. He can handle just about any size wedding out there with his equipment. On top of his DJ/MC equipment, he has now just started his lighting services for weddings. His lighting services exceeded our expectations for our wedding. His lighting equipment is nothing but the best and really made our wedding really pop! All his lighting equipment is also wireless and can be controlled with one receiver on the fly. I don't think anyone has any kind of lighting services that he provides. Overall, we are exceptionally happy with our wedding and Hieu definitely exceeded our expectations. If we can do it again, we would definitely book Hieu all over again. We will definitely have no hesitation in referring Hieu to our friends and family. He is a must and he gets booked really fast, so I recommend booking him immediately if you need MC/DJ/Lighting services for your event. read more

I booked Hieu for my wedding on 6/6/15. Hieu is talented and most people will agree he is one of the best wedding MCs in San Jose. He is very fluent in both English and Vietnamese, and his style is very professional. I received good comments from family members and friends after the wedding. I've recommended him to many others in the past and will continue do to so in the future. read more

My fiance and I found Hieu through Yelp and decided to meet him and get a quote. At first I was hesitating to hire an MC/DJ for our wedding as we didnt think that was important. After meeting with Hieu, man were we wrong! We came to realize that having an MC/DJ was one of the most critical part of the whole wedding. He basically coordinated everything for us and ensure we were running good on time. Made the party fun and entertaining for our guests! Hieu was very helpful and most importantly very very professional. He was always prepared and had useful information for us during our meet ups. He even helped us create our wedding timeline. The prices were a little higher than I expected but Hieu was so awesome it didnt matter. Totally worth it. We had a blast at our wedding! read more

There are just a few options in the Bay Area if you are looking for a bilingual (Viet/Engish) DJ.. But really---There is only ONE option. X-Generation Entertainment, lead by Hieu, is the best you can get for your money. He is helpful, he has good ideas, and above all, he is a true performer. He keeps the crowd engaged with his personality and energy and he is extremely professional. Hieu, in the haze of my wedding in July, I'm not sure if I was able to properly thank you, but you are the absolute best. I would recommend Hieu for any event. read more

We were looking for a bilingual DJ and MC for our wedding in Oct 2010. We met with a small list of DJ's and Hieu was by far the most professional. We selected the standard DJ package with a slide show for photos and for Karaoke later. Hieu did a great job before, during, and after our event. Although he seems very conservative, he actually had quite outgoing during our wedding. He kept things going and upbeat the entire time. read more

Hieu was the DJ/MC for my wedding and he did a fantastic job. All of our guests had a blast and he was the reason why. He had a great music collection and was very entertaining. He was always available whenever we had questions and suggested so many great ideas that really made it a great party. He far exceeded my expectations of a DJ. He is fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so both my Vietnamese guests and non-Vietnamese guests were able to enjoy the performance. Many of my guests raved about Hieu and tried to book him for their events. Book him early, his calendar fills up fast! I was lucky that I was able to be in contact with him because in the interim of our meeting to officially sign the contract, someone else requested the same date. read more
