949 Studio (DJ)

ng the dance part, but during other parts of the wedding as well (games, cake cutting, etc.) Michael was super helpful throughout the process, helping us curate a playlist. He was super receptive about what we wanted for our music. He did a great job bringing our guests to the dance floor. We've been to a handful of weddings, and Michael did such a great job compared to other DJs we've seen. We wanted a mix of EDM, pop music, and kpop, and was worried it would be too hard to mix but Michael did it very well! Not only that, Manli the emcee was phenomenal! Everyone was raving about our emcee as well. She did such a great job and had so much charisma. She also translated in Cantonese for us, and did a great job. She was a natural performer!

our reception dance party. Our guests let us know they loved the music and transitions (this is coming from actual dancers)! Would highly recommend as a wedding DJ!!

lighting and other audio. All in all such a great human being.

le planning process, Michael filled us with such reassurance and he brought a lot of care, warmth and ease to every step leading up to the big day. On the day of, 949 facilitated a very unique and creative game that all my guests enjoyed and the dance floor was so lively and fun the ENTIRE night! On my wedding day, I always felt that 949 was always considering and doing what was in our best interest as the bride and the groom and the 949 team worked so seamlessly with my other vendors. We booked the officiant services with Matt and he created such a beautiful ceremony script for us and Matt helped create a tone of warmth and community that carried on through the whole night. We are so proud of the vendor team we chose and 949 is seriously the best choice you can make for a DJ/emcee/officiant team. (not to mention the custom DJ booth with our initials and special lighting for the dance floor hehe).

st/mixes. Erin was our bilingual MC (Vietnamese & English) and she always had the room's attention every time she spoke. If you're looking for an amazing wedding your guests will continue to talk about, I highly recommend booking with them 100%!

rience they created for us. We needed a bilingual MC for our guests to translate between English and Cantonese and to keep the schedule moving- Manli did a great job managing the guests and maintaining a positive atmosphere. Music was an important aspect of our wedding and Michael met everything we wanted from our DJ. We incorporated many music moments in the timeline: the grand entrances, first dances, cake cutting, first and last song, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance party. He asked as about the vibes we were looking for, our favorite musical artists and genres, and our priorities. He really paid attention to what we liked, incorporating music from our curated playlists. Michael is truly an expert DJ! He created custom song mixes for us for our grand entrances and first dance. And the most important part, the dance party. The vibes were perfect. It was the perfect dance party experience, mixing in our musical tastes and keeping the party going for 2 hours. We wanted a club and party vibe, and that is what we got! Everyone had a great time and we received many compliments about the DJ and how much our guests had so much fun. Thank you Michael and the 949 Studio Team for an unforgettable night!

pretty picky and there were a few surprises that interrupted his flow, but he was flexible and helped make it our dream wedding. Matt was also the perfect MC for us. Upbeat but organized. Highly recommend these guys!!!

mments from our wedding guests at the end of our wedding night. His ability to create mixes from our preferred music genres flowed seamlessly and to read/feel the energy of the crowd made our wedding night memorable and a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend :) Whenever we decide to renew our vows and need a DJ, we know who we're asking hands down!

g job reading the crowd — the music was the perfect mix of upbeat favorites and meaningful moments, he played a couple of Cantonese songs that our guests absolutely loved. The transitions were smooth, and the dance floor was full all night! Usually at weddings I go to, it’s just the younger generation on the dance floor — but he somehow got everyone up dancing, even the older generation! It was so special seeing all our guests enjoying themselves together. Michael also provided the uplighting, and wow — it completely transformed the space. I was so concerned about creating a romantic atmosphere, but he absolutely KILLED it. The lighting was stunning and set the perfect tone for the evening. The MC, Manli was equally amazing — she was engaging and so natural switching between English and Cantonese. It made such a difference for our families and guests, helping everyone feel included and connected throughout the night. We got so many compliments about how great the DJ and MC were! If you’re looking for a team who truly knows how to keep the energy high and make your guests feel part of the celebration, we can’t recommend them enough!

include the planning process too!) When I first reached out to Michael and we set up the initial call, I knew right away he was our guy! He has incredible energy and confidence in his work -- two things that were really important to us. We started by giving him a general idea of our musical vibe, and he helped us build out the perfect playlists for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance hour. Throughout the planning process, Michael was super responsive and answered all our emails promptly. He's incredibly knowledgeable about music and gave us great suggestions whenever we were unsure about certain songs. His ability to mix songs and remixes to keep the energy high was an absolute masterpiece. We had our wedding on a Sunday, and the dance floor was still packed until the very last minute! Not once was it empty. Our guests kept coming up to us saying how amazing the DJ was as we danced the night away. We even added a few songs that had just been released a week before the wedding, and Michael seamlessly mixed them in to fit our theme perfectly. He's so thorough with his craft liking fading in and out of songs at just the right moments. His timing just elevated the all the moments in the wedding as in the movies. We also had Matt as our MC, and he was phenomenal at keeping the guests hyped -- whether it was during transitions or the wedding games themselves. We had both a Labubu and Pokemon card toss, Matt hyped the crowd up so much that both toss were incredible to watch that we also wanted to join in for the fun. They also have a unique game they play that let everyone join in the fun! Overall, we can't recommend the 949 Studio team enough. They're talented, professional, and just genuinely great people. We loved working with them and chatting with them throughout the night. They truly made our wedding unforgettable!

ter seeing our song preferences and our playlist, he recommended DJ Brian from his company to be our DJ and we couldn't have been happier! He executed the ceremony flawlessly and kept the energy going during the dance floor. We had a mix of hip hop and EDM and he did such a good job mixing the two. We also used 949 studios' MC, Matt, and he was equally amazing! People came up to us after the wedding and complimented both of them. We didn't even meet DJ Brian or MC Matt until the wedding, so Michael did an amazing job passing off al the details and information to them where the wedding went so smoothly with no issue. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

dance floor. He took the time to ask what kind of music we liked and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Their team also provided MC services, which made a huge difference for our families. Erin did an excellent job translating and keeping our Vietnamese guests informed and engaged during the night. They even suggested a few fun games that brought everyone together and made the evening even more memorable. When it came to the dance floor, Michael absolutely killed it, he got everyone dancing, from the younger EDC crowd to the aunties and older guests. There was never a dull moment! If you’re looking for a DJ who will keep the night smooth, fun, and unforgettable, I highly recommend Michael and Erin. They went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect.

stom DJ booth and the energy that they both had. Highly recommend them for your wedding!!!!!

xperienced and knows exactly how to get the crowd moving. He worked with us beforehand to build our playlists and gave great advice that really helped us make the most out of the evening. The dance floor was a blast thanks to him! Matt, our MC, was equally incredible. He brought so much energy and knew how to hype up the crowd while also being very attentive during speeches. He had a great way of carrying each speaker's stories or anecdotes into the next part of the night, making everyone laugh and keeping the flow seamless. His presence made the night feel even more lively and fun. We are so grateful for Michael, Matt, and the whole 949 Studio team for making our wedding unforgettable. We couldn't recommend them more to anyone looking for a DJ and MC team that truly knows how to elevate a celebration.

ur, and reception. Michael started us off our playlists to provide some examples but really encouraged us to make the music uniquely ours. He also recommended we get the foam dance sticks which really set up the mood for all of our guests to come the dance floor. The dance mix was so smooth; it kept the dance floor alive throughout the entire reception!! We also worked with Manli as our bilingual (Mandarin + English) MC since we have some family members who only spoke Mandarin. Manli did an amazing job with introductions and guiding our guests throughout the schedule. We are so content knowing that all of our guests were able to understand and participate in reception activities! Our wedding was a blast - it would't have been this way without these two!!

were great and understood the music genre and vibe that we wanted for our wedding. We couldn't be happier with how it all went! Brian was our DJ and I can confidently say that our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music during reception and dance hour. Jason was our MC and he did a great job of getting our guests engaged and entertained throughout the night. The games and trivia they suggested were also a great addition to the evening. We're truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Michael and his team. 10/10 would recommend 949 Studios for your wedding needs!

een segments of the ceremony and reception were flawless. The DJ games were an excellent addition and really completed the fun vibes we were going for to get the crowd engaged. We were also pleasantly surprised and impressed by Manli's MC'ing in English and Cantonese.

or our wedding (cocktail hour, dinner, dance, etc). Such a pleasure working alongside Michael as he's professional, super personable, helpful, and has the creative juices flowing to mix and match songs to the vibe of the crowd. Shout out to Michael and our MC Erin! Highly recommended for weddings, social gatherings, birthdays, shindigs, or whatever else you can possibly think of! Thank me later.

oughout and were really on it with playing some great mixes of songs - we were so lucky to have these guys DJ our wedding. It's always so nerve racking but these guys were on it throughout the process and were very thorough with the preparation especially the week prior to our big day! So SO Great!!!

e brought alllllllll the vibes and created the absolute best moments on our dance floor that we'll cherish forever. In the year leading up to our wedding, Michael constantly checked in on us and made the process so easy. He really takes into consideration the music you want on your day and the atmosphere that you want to set. Michael is also a true man of his art - he doesn't just press play, but really mixes the songs all night. We, including all of our friends, were so wowed :') We can only hope that more of our close friends decide to get married soon so that we can recommend 949 Studio to DJ their weddings lol! We couldn't be more thankful to this team. We would get married a thousand times over and use Michael and his team every time. P.S. If you're thinking about the dance floor lighting and the venue uplighting options, DO IT. They really create such a fun atmosphere and we were so happy we added them to our package.

of them were absolutely phenomenal, and truly brought our celebration to life from beginning to end. Michael went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, offering expert suggestions, seamless communication, and a setup that was nothing short of flawless. The audio, lighting, and music choices were spot-on--and we couldn't have imagined a better soundtrack to our day. Some personal highlights we'll never forget: Michael's thoughtful edit to our first dance song, giving it a longer instrumental lead-in, made our dance feel choreographed and professional--when in reality, we had put it together only a few days prior! His suggestion to do a practice dance during our room reveal ended up being one of our most cherished moments. Dancing alone in that space, with sunlight streaming in and everything finally done, was magic. Throughout the speeches and trivia game, we noticed clever, perfectly timed music cues and MC commentary that showed just how present and attentive both Michael and Brian were. It felt like everything had been planned down to the second, when really it was just their talent shining through in the moment. When we unexpectedly needed an extra mic for a surprise performance by my parents, Michael and Brian were on it without hesitation--making that moment seamless and unforgettable. Brian was a standout MC--charismatic, smooth, and completely in sync with the vibe of the crowd. The games they had planned were fun, creative, and brought so much joy to our guests while giving them a chance to learn more about us in a genuinely entertaining way. And then there was dance hour. Wow. The custom remixes, the transitions, the energy--it was next level. I couldn't stop coming up to the booth to tell him how much I was loving it. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding DJ experience they'd ever had, and honestly? We agree. We're looking forward to telling our friends to book them for their own weddings--and we're hoping to be guests at those just so we can experience it all again. Even the lighting and foam light sticks--which my wife was originally hesitant about--ended up being a game changer. The uplighting was tasteful and elegant, and the light sticks helped even the shyest guests feel comfortable getting out on the dance floor. It struck the perfect balance between classy and fun, and it was all thanks to Michael's thoughtful recommendations. As we shared in a note to all our vendors, my wife and I wanted to surround ourselves with people whose energy and presence made the day even better--and Michael and Brian were exactly that. We felt like we were working with friends who were genuinely invested in our day and brought their full selves to making it special. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael and Brian to any couple looking for a team that's not just technically excellent, but emotionally invested, collaborative, and fun! Our biggest takeaway--and our top tip for anyone planning their wedding--is this: choosing the right vendors makes all the difference in creating the perfect day. Choose the ones who are truly invested in their work, who care deeply about you and the final result. At the end of the day, you absolutely won't regret having them there--because they'll show up and give 110%.

r favorite song for our first dance!), but also helped so much with emcee duties and the flow of the entire wedding. He is prompt with his communication, is super easy to work with, has great ideas, and would definitely recommend!

ption)... It was the best decision ever! From the very beginning aka our first meeting, Mike was super kind and gave a lot of good advice from his vast past experience as a wedding DJ/MC. He helped us curate playlists for our wedding based on the songs we liked and he did such a good job! We last minute decided to have him set up a little bit earlier so he can play music as the guests are arriving at the venue and he kindly obliged. He's super easygoing and fun to work with. Our guests still talks about how good of a DJ he was because he created these mixes for the dance floor that'll surprise them. We highly recommend 949 studio!

listening to what we want. I also really appreciate the great communication. I can tell this is not just a job for them, but a passion. Thank you so much for making our wedding an unforgettable one.

stened to what we wanted and made the entire experience all about us. Our MC, Matt, kept the energy high all night—our guests absolutely loved him! He seamlessly guided the flow of the evening, making sure everything felt effortless and engaging. Meanwhile, our DJ, Michael, crafted the perfect soundtrack, blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that had everyone on the dance floor until the very end. Together, they worked flawlessly, not only with each other but also with our other wedding vendors, ensuring every part of the night was smooth, fun, and stress-free. Their hard work and attention to detail created an amazing night, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Our wedding is still talked about to this day how much fun it was by our guests! If you’re looking for an MC and DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further—this duo is simply the best!

and adjust to last minute timeline changes without a falter. We also had some non traditional wedding activities and they were able add just the right energy to enhance our vision. The playlist and vibes kept our guest partying to the last minute. I would definitely recommend 949 studio for any dj/mc needs. Not only are they professional, they were also personable and extremely pleasant to work with.

d it was the best decision! They were our officiant, MC and DJ team. It was so nice to have all three come from the same company as it's one less vendor to coordinate. It can be scary selecting a DJ as it's kind of tough to really know how the vibes will be without having used them before. So I hope this review confirms for you that everyone had the best time dancing and partying at our wedding. We believed music was one of the most important parts of a wedding and Michael really hit home run with this. He was so helpful through the music selection process and just picked up the vibes of the crowd throughout the night. We also had a K-pop dance routine and he got that on point with the grand entrances. He also met with us virtually several times and gave us some tips even if it wasn't related to music. Matt as our officiant and MC was such a great choice as well. He carried this kind and sophisticated manner throughout the entire day and brought some humor too when appropriate. When I have another event, I will definitely come back to 949 studio. If you are reading this, just book them. This is coming from a very picky bride

ifferent venues and we were able to lean on him quite a bit when building our timeline. Mike and his MC did such a great job and the event went together smoothly! Love that his mixes the songs we picked together and we were able to keep people on the dance floor until 11:30pm on a Sunday night!

hin our preferred genres. The MC service was great as well, he added a ton of energy to our reception and pumped everyone up. Michael's mix kept everyone on the dance floor all night and it was such a blast that the time flew by. One minute we stepped out onto the dance floor and the next minute it was over! Our experience was so memorable, and Michael as our DJ played a huge role in that! Thanks Michael!

ionalism and excitement. During our planning calls with Michael, he mentioned that it didn't seem that we had any lighting. Had he not mentioned this, our dance party would have been a bust. During the dancing, they played our favorites and incorporated some of their own. We have no regrets using 949 Studio and will recommend their services to friends having events in SoCal.

your wedding. In terms of the day of the wedding, Michael and his MC were incredible. I really want to highlight that the MC did an amazing job bringing up the energy of the wedding and responding to what the audience was giving to him. In addition, Michael really read the room and made sure that the music kept up the energy of the wedding. It was an incredible night, and I am so grateful for them!

n our proposed date, as my husband and I felt an immediate connection with him from the moment we met at our first meeting. From the beginning, Michael was incredibly attentive, reaching out to gather information about our vision, musical taste, and vibe we were hoping for. He made sure to review every single detail from start to finish to ensure everything went as planned. He truly spent so much time curating our playlists, which were perfect. What an incredible day it was - so much credit to Michael and Jason for bringing our vision to life from the moment guests arrived at the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the moment they stepped off the dance floor. His mixes were INSANE. Every single song/remix was an absolute hit with exquisite transitions. Our MC, Jason, was equally remarkable - such amazing energy, flow, and entertainment throughout the reception. Their team suggested a game to get our guests involved/hyped up, and it was a hit! Can't say enough about Michael and Jason. We wish we could get married again just to relive the excitement of the day they created. Looking forward to reaching out to them again for future celebrations.

s we had. On the night of our wedding, he absolutely blew us away! His music selection and mixes were incredible --our guests couldn't stop raving about them. He has an incredible ability to read the room and keep the energy high, making sure everyone was having a fantastic time. Erin, our bilingual Vietnamese/English MC, was just as amazing. She was so sweet and thoughtful, preparing translations ahead of time for the tea ceremony to ensure all of our guests could feel included in the celebration. Her presence was warm and engaging, and my family thought she was so adorable. Both Michael and Erin went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. If you're looking for a talented, professional team that genuinely cares, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael and Erin. Thank you both for making our wedding so special!

l he really puts his heart into every event he does, and it made a big difference in making our day truly memorable. Matt, the MC, was awesome to work with too. He was professional, well-spoken, and great at improvising and keeping the energy up all night. Both Michael and Matt were great at reading the crowd and ensuring everything flowed smoothly. Our guests had the best time on the dance floor! We're so thankful and will cherish all the memories. Highly recommend 949 Studio to make your wedding day unforgettable!

hour, to the reception so smooth. Everyone also had a blast during our dance party hour! We couldn't ask for a better DJ! Matt was our MC for the night and had worked so well with our friends and family. Even though we were all rowdy, he knows how to draw the crowd!! The games that I had planned were executed flawlessy and everyone had fun! Thank you 949studio team!!!

and you two brought so much life to the party. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us and helping us through everything. All the song selections were chefs kiss and we had so much fun. You’ve been so wonderful to work with and we cannot thank you enough.

or--hip hop, RnB, and some great throwback tracks--and he nailed it. The music he played throughout the night was perfect. It had everyone vibing, from the cocktail hour all the way to the last dance. Multiple guests came up to me afterward to say how much they loved the music. The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy was incredible. DJ Mike knew how to read the crowd and kept the party going with the perfect mix of songs. Our MC Matt was also amazing! He brought so much energy and fun to the night. He really got the crowd going, and his presence added a great touch to the overall atmosphere. Both Mike and Matt were an awesome duo--professional, fun, and exactly what we needed to make the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who can create the perfect vibe and keep the dance floor full, DJ Mike is your guy! Highly recommend him and his team for anyone who wants a memorable, music-filled wedding.

more reserved response on the dance floor, as most of our guests were Chinese. Based on his suggestion, we added lightsticks and incorporated some karaoke into the event, which worked perfectly. Definitely recommend him for any type of wedding!

around, we still had over 50 people dancing their hearts out on the dance floor, all thanks to Michael's phenomenal music and infectious energy. Coming from a family of musicians, we have high standards when it comes to music, and Michael did not disappoint. His ability to mix tracks and bring people together through music is unparalleled. He was very communicative and made sure we created a Spotify playlist before the wedding with all our favorite songs, ensuring the night was filled with tunes we love. Michael is not just a talented DJ but also a fantastic person to work with. His professionalism and dedication to making our event special were evident from start to finish. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience and a great time. If you want your event to be a hit, look no further than Michael Tran from 9iv9 Studio.

on the dance floor, and the vibes were perfect! My wife Sharon and I had a blast, and we’re already thinking about how we can book him for our next event. Highly recommend! :)

ded him, and it's easy to see why! From the moment we started working with Mike, it was clear that he was a true professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, the vibe we wanted for our big day, and how we envisioned our guests enjoying the night. We were a bit worried that our guests would be shy and not dance throughout the night, but in the planning process, Mike had a few tricks up his sleeve that ended up working out really well! For our reception, we had Matt as our MC and Mike as our DJ and this combo kept our guests entertained throughout the night. Their ability to read the room and get everyone to the dance floor was nothing short of amazing. As the evening unfolded, Mike perfectly matched the music to the energy of the crowd, effortlessly getting everyone to stay on the dance floor. His seamless transitions and spot-on song choices kept the party alive, and our guests raved about how much fun they had. If you're looking for a DJ who can make your event unforgettable, look no further than Mike and 949 Studio. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch DJ who truly knows how to bring a party to life. Thank you, Mike, for making our wedding day so special!

fun. I would definitely recommend Michael and his team for your event!

for us to have great music during the planning process. Mike was quick to respond whenever we had a question, and guided us through every step of the way when it came to music selection for our wedding. Jesse was our MC and did a fantastic job engaging with our bi-lingual audience of Mandarin and English speakers. Mike DJed our open dance perfectly, never playing too much of one song yet mixing and transitioning songs seamlessly. We got so many compliments from our guests that they had the best time ever during open dance! I'd highly recommend Mike and his team. :)

o have a lot of energy, and they delivered. Michael spent a few hours with my wife and I discussing vibes for each part of the wedding. Arrival, cocktail hour, dinner, reception, and after-hours. He sent us song recommendations according to the vibe of each, and we removed some and added a lot. He helped us successfully go from soft and sweet, to more upbeat, to bay area, to edm and hiphop. Based off our tastes he was live mixing our recommendations with his own flair. He helped us craft an absolute amazing wedding. At the end of the wedding I heard comments like " The DJ was lit" "Who was that DJ? His mix of X was amazing." A few folks asked for his contact information because they have upcoming socal weddings as well. Book him while you can.

big day. His responses are quick and are within 24 hours. I felt at peace knowing that things will be handled when my wedding day comes. I didn't have to worry and Michael made sure I knew that. And because of these reasons, I strongly recommend Michael "949 Studio" to be your DJ for any events. Matt (MC) and Brian (DJ) were assigned to be a part of my wedding day team. Both were welcoming and both were filled with energy. They made my wedding very memorable. The guests enjoyed the music and vibe. Thanks to them, my wedding day just gotten much better. On top of that, their prices were very reasonably compared to other companies. With wedding expenses through the roof, it was nice to know 949 Studio still had affordable pricing.
