Araiza Events

sts too. My guests were around 80-100 people and I honestly did not expect much response from my guests but with Peter’s help, I was surprised how my audience was able to enjoy the whole night. From beginning of the program until the end of the dance party. My guests even wanted to continue the night but we are over the allotted time for the venue. I can tell that all my guests enjoyed the whole night. Overall, it was a great experience working with Peter and he has very reasonable rates. I would definitely recommend him.

develop an entire timeline before the wedding which helped me tremendously since I wasn’t really sure how to run the reception. He helped keep us and the vendors on time. He also made sure that everyone was doing what they needed to without bothering me. He kept reminding me to just enjoy myself. It was so incredibly helpful! Our photographer was so impressed too. Peter clearly has a lot of experience and passion for weddings. I’m so glad I chose Araiza Events. They truly made all the difference.

. I honestly wish I had another reason to use a DJ and when I do, I know who I’m going to call! He used to be a wedding planner so he’s extremely familiar with the process flow AND to top it off he is also a dance instructor! You will not find a more qualified, kind, and enthusiastic DJ than Peter. FYI his Photo Booth is a MUST - it was so fun and everyone loved it!!

going better with anyone else. Incredible in every way

to show up the day before the event to set up and Peter was there. Checking sound and setting up so that he wasn’t scrambling the day of the event. The sound for the event was perfect. The lighting for the reception was beautiful and our guests were dancing the entire time! Peter understood our music taste and was able to read the guests and keep them dancing. His equipment is also top of the line, which makes a difference in sound quality. Breakdown was fast and easy. We have absolutely no complaints. Hire him. You’ll be happy you did.

d a host recommended for anyone looking for a good time and everlasting memories. Thank you Peter and will definitely keep you in mind for upcoming events.

provided all the microphones speakers, sound equipment and lighting for our beach ceremony and indoor reception. So many of my guests told me how much they enjoyed Peter as the DJ. You won’t be disappointed when you hire Araiza Events!

ktail hour to a salsa/bachata mix during the reception. The photo booth he provided was also a great hit! He allowed us to work with him on creating a custom frame that utilized assets that we decided to design ourselves and incorporate elements that he was able to update the interface with. Highly recommend him, especially if your group needs someone to keep the party live!

een that we rented from him and everything was run smoothly, without hassle, and at an affordable price. His MC skills are great and you won't have to worry about an unprofessional or self-promoting MC! We can't recommend Peter and Araiza Events enough!

g night an unforgettable night. Would recommend Peter to anyone who is looking for a fun/professional DJ!

nd this Dj to all of my friends and family. My sister already booked him for her wedding.

rd. But after meeting with Peter, he really helped us beyond belief! From filling out a worksheet with everything from what songs we liked and disliked to timelines of the event and names of parents, wedding party to special people. I had no idea how important these things are! If it wasn’t for Peter who would have known how the event would have turned out. We gave him a playlist and he put it all together added a few and made our day so much fun! Everyone we talked to has mentioned how much fun the wedding was and it was in large part to the dancing and music. He kept the music mixed up so perfect that I had to sit for a min to regain my breath. then back to the dance area for more fun! Also I need to mention the lighting that was placed throughout our backyard made everything so magically perfect. Peter, you kicked butt and I’ll never forget how amazing you are! You’ll always get my referrals and definitely use you again for any other event!

wledgeable, professional, and was there every step of the way. My husband and I were overwhelmed in some of the aspects of wedding planning, but Peter was always a call away. He is incredibly thoughtful in suggesting suit shops, wedding shoes, music and so much more during this process. Peter went above and beyond and made sure the event ran smoothly and kept our guests dancing all night. We could not have asked for a better DJ. Our friends and family absolutely love you. Thank you Peter and Araiza Events. You were more than a DJ, you were a friend to us through this journey. We appreciate you and everything you did for our wedding!

ter has shown nothing but genuine interest in our story and event being taken place in addition to showing professionalism that was beyond compare. From day one peter brought up plenty of ideas and questions that an engaged couple did not think of such as lighting and events during the wedding i.e. shoe game /garter removal. He took it to a different level when he introduced his google form that was so detailed from songs to dance to to songs not to dance to, entrance songs. If Araiza events had a magic sauce that form would be the recipe. Peter was very flexible when it came down to meeting times and also songs of choice as I wanted a medley for the first dance. I gave him the cues and everything went smoothly. He was always honest and upfront with us if something can or can’t be done or would come off bad for example my original idea for garter removal could’ve been taken as insulting my new wife. However peter gave me a different perspective and im glad I changed my plans. On the day of the event peter was the best friend i needed on the other side. Meanwhile my best man/best friend helped me take care of decorations and ensuring my daughters and their nanny were taken care of, Peter ensured i was taken care of from making sure i had utensils to ensuring I had some food in my stomach. He was my rock reminding me to breathe and ensuring no matter the chaos / party bus arriving late / people showing up early / running out of time for the open bar / that everything will turn our great and it did. On top of everything his DJ skillset is amazing. He guided us to make playlists and he incorporated some of my favorite songs during the cocktail hour and dinner. Many times I found myself singing along to songs or catching guests singing with me. These were times where I was going to request a song and before I can even step towards Peter the song is already on. He found and used songs that weren’t not available on streaming services to use for the mother son dance. For the last song my wife and I requested a song that isn’t common however as it was on our playlist it was ready to go. That created a special moment of drunken bliss that will never be forgotten. Id like to thank Peter and Araiza events for giving me and my wife such a beautiful event to which we will cherish in our memories forever. I hope to get lucky and have him for every vow renewal / wedding / baptism /sweet 16 any event i can get him for.

movement. Peter was very involved and active in the whole process and he did an amazing job at our wedding. We are very particular with our music selection, and amazingly (unsurprisingly I’m sure), Peter went above and beyond during the wedding. We had people dancing all night, and we had many compliments from our guests on the music selection. Peter really made the whole night flow very smoothly and he was extremely patient, calm, and confident. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ honestly. If you’re looking for a superb DJ that you’ve been close friends with, I would go with Peter.

as a DJ and emcee, but is also incredibly organized and communicates well. We appreciated how thorough and transparent Peter was during the planning process(es). He has an extensive questionnaire and checklist that helped us better define our vision for our event, and gave us questions to bring to our other vendors. He checked in regularly to make sure that we were hanging in there and followed up quickly after our planning sessions. And as our wedding approached, he went above and beyond to help us finalize our timeline (including thinking of things like where a bathroom break could be squeezed in) and made suggestions that made the event flow much better. As an MC and DJ, he had everything running perfectly and the dance floor full all night until the last song. We would work with Peter again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for DJ and event services!!

l! He really helped with picking our songs for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. I would highly recommend Peter for any event!

hallenge like a champ, and was so incredibly professional, enthusiastic, and patient with us through out the 6 months he worked with us! He was very easy to work, communicate and coordinate with. He was very creative with the choreography by utilizing our strengths and abilities and made us look good despite our limitations. And yet, Peter made sure we hit all the signature moves from the movie! He was so awesome with us; I guarantee he would be the same working with anyone! I strongly recommend Peter for any services he offers for weddings and events! This guy knows what he’s doing!

nator. Thank you Araiza Events for your amazing work and being apart of our special day.

rstanding to keep our date on stand by due to a change of date or continuing to keep our date. During that period Peter was extremely kind and understanding. During our first meeting, he gave us a pamphlet presentation on the services he offered as well as advised us on all the important music we needed to pick out for special events throughout the night. Peter really knows how to read the crowd and was and was an INCREDIBLE MC and engaged with our guests during the most memorable moment of our wedding day which was the garter toss. We are so grateful to have had Peter as our DJ and would highly recommend this company for any big events.

mely communicative, which put my wedding-planning mania to rest, and answered every panicked question with total confidence. The day of, he was prompt, efficient, and once the party started, he totally ran the show. There was never a dull moment, never a lull in fun, and he had everyone dancing. As one of those hostesses who cannot stop worrying that her guests are entertained, it was a massive relief and allowed me to really enjoy my own reception. Peter, you're a rock star - thank you so much for everything!

orry about a vendor it’s a blessing!

s see that we could add better visibility and mood lighting throughout the property. Anything he didn’t already have, he was able to secure through his resourcefulness and at competitive pricing. What’s even more impressive, he managed to tackle this for my event in Santa Barbara and his home base is Long Beach. I highly recommend him for any event, he will elevate anything you want to put together.
