About David Newton Entertainment

David Newton Entertainment

DJ & MC

You know that one place that everybody fears: standing in a spotlight in front of a group of people, holding a microphone in their sweaty palm while looking into the face of an awaiting audience? Public speaking! Well, that scary place is the one place I feel most comfortable. My passion is to charm your audience with the same personality as if it were you standing in front them.

My South African accent sets me apart for sure. But, apart from that... I bring my 15 years of experience as an international standup comedian to the event world. Since moving to SoCal, I have worked more than 800 weddings and events, and have earned the trust of countless coordinators, couples, and many of the biggest names in business by carrying their big event day successfully... and earning over 120 five-star reviews. My goal is to make sure every guest leaves saying that was the best wedding/event they have ever been to. To that end, I make sure to provide a level of professionalism and care that I would if it were my own event.

    Wedding MC/DJ

    We highly recommend David! From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful with the planning process and made sure everything was organized and stress-free. On the wedding day, his execution was flawless—he kept everything running smoothly, captured our guests’ attention, and created an incredible atmosphere. Most importantly, he knows how to keep the dance floor packed! The energy, music selection, and ability to read the crowd made the night so much fun for everyone. We’ve recommended him to all of our family and friends, and every wedding we attend where he is the DJ is absolutely amazing. He truly goes above and beyond to make each event memorable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, engaging, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, we highly recommend him!

    Best Wedding DJ!

    David was the best DJ (and officiant) we could've asked for. Choosing a DJ can be very daunting and stressful since you don't really get to listen to their mixtape or anything beforehand. You can watch a few clips here and there on their social medias, but you really are just booking a DJ on a hope and a prayer. David did a GREAT job. He really knows how to read the crowd. He was very communicative, professional, and affordable. He takes into consideration your "must play" and "must not play" songs, while also getting a feel for what the crowd wants. He kept everyone on the dance floor and was able to hype up the crowd. A great choice for a DJ!

    Fantastic MC!

    We booked David Newton Entertainment for our wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice. From our first online meeting, David was professional and patient as we worked through the event schedule and music details. He made the planning process smooth and kept us feeling confident every step of the way. On our wedding day, David's energy as MC and DJ set the perfect tone for the celebration—he kept things fun while staying on track with our timeline. His dependable nature meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing everything was in great hands. I can't recommend David enough for any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making their day special.
