DJ Kaleb was amazing, professional, and empathetic. He did phenomenal at our wedding and would recommend this company and that man to work music at your wedding! Very responsive and communicative as well.
We had DJ Tsitsi at our wedding and we are sooooo happy we did! She did a wonderful job honoring the song requests I provided beforehand and did great feeling the vibe of the dance floor. Our guests were raving about how great our DJ was. About an hour into dancing, it began to rain (reception was outdoors) and the guests stayed dancing in the rain because the music she played was so fun! We eventually moved inside and DJ Tsitsi did a great job transitioning everything. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

DJ Allen was absolutely perfect for our wedding! He played great, vibey music during cocktail hour (a few guests even requested the playlist!) and then knew exactly when to turn up the energy for the dance reception. We also added on extras like a disco ball and uplighting, which made the dance floor feel so fun and really added to the atmosphere. He brought such great energy to the evening, and we couldn’t be happier that we had him as our DJ.
Since we were traveling from the East Coast for our destination wedding in San Diego, we didn’t actually meet Allen until the day of the wedding, but we never had any concerns. He took the time to listen to what we wanted, made it easy to submit song requests through his online portal, and truly understood the vibe we were going for. He was such a great addition to our vendor team, and we would recommend him to anyone!

She played all our music, helped us organize the day, and made the whole process so easy. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I genuinely didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even went out of her way to ensure she played our traditional Israeli music we were looking for.
If you’re looking for a DJ, do yourself a favor and book DJ Valen! She goes above and beyond just playing music and makes sure your day runs smoothly. We couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic! Professional, Prepared, and Seamless! DJ Valen was absolutely fantastic to work with for our daughter’s wedding! From our initial planning meetings through the very last moments of the celebration, she was professional, incredibly prepared, organized, and a pleasure to work with. One of the things I appreciated most was how effortlessly she managed the timeline. She knew exactly what needed to happen and when, followed our schedule perfectly, and kept everything flowing beautifully without anyone needing to micromanage or remind her of a single detail. She was attentive to the little things, including making sure everyone’s names were pronounced correctly during introductions. Those details matter, and she handled them wonderfully! There is SO much that goes into planning a wedding, and as the mother of the bride, you want to know that every vendor understands their role and will execute it well. DJ Valen did exactly that. She came prepared, communicated clearly, and followed through on everything we discussed. It allowed us to relax, be present, and truly enjoy such an important day for our family. What really sets her apart is that her professionalism was evident long before the wedding day. From preparation to execution, she was consistent, dependable, and genuinely wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend DJ Valen highly enough! If you’re planning a wedding and want someone who will take ownership of their responsibilities, respect your timeline, and help make your celebration feel seamless, she is an excellent choice. We are so grateful she was part of our daughter’s special day!

Words can absolutely not begin to describe how much we loved our Dj. For our wedding we had DJ Grande and he was absolutely fantastic. My goal for my wedding was to never have an empty dance floor and not once was that dance floor empty. He played consistent, amazing songs, he kept the vibes up and we were absolutely so impressed by it. He played a great blend of latino/mainstream party music which was well loved by all. If we were to have another event that required a DJ, I would only use DJ grande through dancing DJ productions. Can’t recommend enough!!!
Response from the owner · a week ago
We're so glad Grande helped make your wedding everything you hoped for! Having a packed dance floor all night is always the goal, and it's awesome to hear he kept everyone dancing from start to finish. Grande has a great ability to blend different styles of music and keep the energy going, so we're happy your guests loved the mix of Latin and mainstream hits. Knowing you'd choose him again for another event really means a lot to us. Thank you for having us as part of your wedding!
