DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (39 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves San Diego, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dominiq since 2009, and he has consistently been the key to elevating every event. His DJ skills are exceptional, with a diverse music repertoire that can energize any crowd—even those who seem reluctant to dance. Yet Dominiq’s value extends far beyond the music. He is a natural problem-solver, always proactive when it comes to event flow. If anything runs off schedule or unexpected issues arise, he steps in with solutions and keeps everything seamless. Dominiq’s MCing is charismatic and engaging, effortlessly connecting with diverse audiences—different ages, backgrounds, and preferences. No matter the setting—indoor or outdoor—his setups are flawless. From lighting to photo booths, he brings a polished experience. His communication is always clear, prompt, and professional. Every time I plan an event, securing Dominiq is my first step, because he brings it to the next level—every single time. Here’s a photo of Dom and I from 2014 when he DJ’d at Club Sutra in Orange County CA.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

With our online planning portal, event day add-ons and a range of personalized extended services you have the tools to seamlessly organize every detail, from pre-ceremony to grand exit, making your dream wedding a reality.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

I highly recommend GE production for DJ events! Jimmy was our DJ and he was great. We got a smaller dance floor because they say around 50-70% of the guests are at the dancefloor at a time but my guests were on the dancefloor the entire night. Everyone loved the playlist! Jimmy also went above and beyond producing a remix of three songs for the father and bride dance. I was also very reassured knowing in our consultation call that they match you with a DJ that best suits your event. Great DJ!

We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game. Wonderful to work with and highly recommend.

Brian Pierini, Saxophone was the best decision we ever made for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone kept telling us that the saxophone player was so good! Like literally everyone we talked to would say nothing but good things about his playing. We had guests come over from the Philippines and he played a few Filipino songs during cocktail hour, which we really appreciated because it made our guests from the Philippines feel more welcome and acknowledged. Brian's communication style was fast, reliable, easy, and collaborative, and the quality of his work and value was the best out there - it was worth every penny!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I still love what I do. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to events with 1,000+ guests. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, and I’ve even DJed weddings internationally. I keep things personal, keep things flowing, and make sure everyone is having a great time. I read the room, mix live, set the vibe, and know when to turn things up. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure your wedding feels like you.

Michael was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was so professional and fun and made our vision come to life! It was so nice knowing he was in control of the music flow as everything went exactly according to plan. He really did a superb job guiding the whole evening and nailing all of our requests. It was incredible enjoying the day knowing he was taking care of all the music and microphones and having everything flow so smoothly. We can’t speak highly enough about having him as our DJ. Thank you so much Michael for not only being a part of our special day and making it fun but by also taking the stress off of us by allowing the flow of the evening to go so smoothly with your guidance and expertise.

He got the dance floor going and played the songs we had selected in such a fun way, our dance floor was packed the entire time and the vibe was amazing!

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
San Diego, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

I’ve spent the past 12 years DJing over 400 weddings, and every one of them has shaped my signature approach: luxury without stuffiness, energy without gimmicks. As a multi-award-winning DJ featured in national publications, I bring more than music… I bring an atmosphere. From the moment your guests arrive to the last song of the night, everything feels intentional, seamless, and unforgettable. My mixes are live, my MC work is polished, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding the one everyone talks about long after the lights come up.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart... If you do not book DJ Cameron Martin for your wedding, you're missing out big time. I literally can't think of a time where I've had more fun. The dance floor was PACKED from the moment he opened the dance floor until the last song of the night. My husband was even crowd surfing at one point?! It was straight out of a movie and we are didn't even have a crowd of traditionally crazy party people. Cameron made sure that each guest of every age was having the time of their life. He read the room flawlessly and somehow knew just what to play and how/when to seamlessly transition without ever even hopping on the mic during the open dance portion (not one corny line was uttered). He's an industry icon (every one of my other vendors knew exactly who he was) and a musical genius and I give him the strongest possible recommendation to any and everyone until the day I die. that's kinda dramatic, but that's how seriously amazing he was.

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Charlie made my daughter’s sweet 16 unforgettable. He helped us plan the perfect lighting and music making sure everything was on point. He even thought of things I hadn’t considered like managing song requests from the teens. His choices for the event were thoughtful, fun and exactly what we needed. Charlie’s attention to detail really made the party and I’ll absolutely use him again for our next event.

Mama Said Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves San Diego, CA

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations. This approach has allowed the 80'z All-Stars and MSE to flourish for 20+ years.

San Diego, CA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $600

A female vocalist with pure soul, Dawn provides a romantic sound for your special wedding ceremony and a warm & nostalgic voice for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour or special event! Known in San Diego for her eclectic sound, Dawn sings familiar songs in a wide range of genres from jazz/blues to folk to pop and indie music. She will take requests to learn up to 3 songs outside of her regular playlist for your special day.

I am thrilled to recommend Dawn Mitschele, a phenomenal singer and guitar player I had the pleasure of watching perform at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Carlsbad, CA. Her captivating voice and masterful guitar skills truly left a lasting impression on me. When planning my “big” birthday party, I knew I wanted someone special to perform, and Dawn was the perfect choice. Her ability to engage the audience and create a joyful atmosphere was nothing short of extraordinary. She seamlessly blended various genres, catering to the diverse tastes of my guests, and her warm personality made everyone feel right at home. If you're looking for a talented musician who can elevate any event, I wholeheartedly endorse Dawn Mitschele. She has an incredible gift for connecting with people through her music, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
