Bass & Bliss

We cannot speak highly enough of DJ Alex, the master of music who kept our wedding reception alive and buzzing with energy from start to finish. His perfect audio quality at our ceremony, exceptional music choices at our reception, seamless song blends, and ability to keep our guests on the dance floor were nothing short of extraordinary. If you're searching for a DJ who will elevate your celebration to new heights and create an unforgettable dance party, DJ Alex is the one! From the moment the music started, DJ Alex had our guests hooked. His keen sense of the crowd's energy and song selection kept the dance floor packed throughout the night. His ability to read the room and play the perfect mix of genres and hits ensured that guests of all ages were thoroughly entertained and engaged. DJ Alex is capable of creating an unforgettable dance party that will have your guests talking for years to come. If you want a DJ who knows how to keep the party going and create memories that last a lifetime, DJ Alex is the one you need. We honestly can't thank him enough for CRUSHING it.

Would DEFINITELY use them again! Personalized our wedding vibe! Everyone danced all night. Their Photo Booth is a must!

From the get go, Alex was so organized, professional, and friendly. He made us feel at ease with everything. He understood the vibe we wanted at our wedding and delivered. Everyone complimented how great the music was at our wedding, with one of our guests saying it was the best music he's ever heard at a wedding. Everyone danced and sang the whole night. He seamlessly incorporated all of our musical tastes into the night, with great throwbacks to the 90s and 2000s, some pop, hip hop, house, cumbia, reggaeton, salsa, and Vietnamese songs. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and person to MC/DJ our wedding. 100% recommend.

Hands down the best choice of a DJ! I am so happy we chose Bass & Bliss to do our wedding. From the first meeting to review how it all works down to the day, Alex had everything lined out. Very organized, professional and easy to communicate with. He always responded promptly to any questions/concerns I had. Loved how he was able to even provide suggestions. Then closer to a few weeks out from our wedding, we had a video meet with Sean. Sean was great in breaking down everything, providing insight, and kept the communication going up to the big day. Everyone at my wedding had nothing but great reviews of Sean. He did an awesome job and was able to change it up to the vibe of the room for the music to play. We are so happy and can't thank Alex and Sean enough for helping make our wedding not just go off smooth but a day we can remember. Thank you guys!! If ever I know someone in the area again looking for your services, you will be who I recommend!

Stellar DJ. The dance floor was full all night, folks loved the music selection (nearly all the song choices were great), and in particular Alex had stellar transitions between the various songs. Book with confidence.

So so so happy I found Alex! He made everything so easy. His online portal let's you get into specifics and really plan every special moment with the music to match. I give Alex a lot of credit with how perfectly he picked up on our vibe; especially since we were not very forthcoming with the kind of music we like, or the artists, because we're big "genre" people and just let pandora play, haha. Despite our lack of direction (sorry, Alex) he killed it. Great night. Great music. Only good things to report!

These guys were great. They had everything super organized. They listened to everything we wanted. Loved their website- it was the most thorough thing we say between all our vendors. We put in EXACTLY the music we wanted (and didn't want). Dj Sean was who we got as our wedding DJ and he was very upbeat and had a great attitude. Also he wasn't cheesy which was a big thing for us. Pulled together an excellent elegant playlist for our ceremony, dinner and took all sorts of requests during our late dancing party. Thank you so much guys - you made our wedding day so special!

We had a blast with Alex as our wedding DJ. He took the time to see our venue and get to know our song preferences well before the wedding so that everything went smoothly on the big day. Throughout the night, he was able to read the crowd and adapt the music to fit the vibe and keep the party going. He even worked in a joke outro song for one of the wedding party's speeches that we thought was hilarious! Everyone said it was the most fun wedding they've ever attended. I'd highly recommend choosing Alex as your DJ!

Alex is a true pro! He was always on time, had great communication throughout the entire process, was easy and fun to work with, and not only was he organized the whole way through the planning - he really created a party vibe on the night of the wedding! We were the couple that said “nobody at our wedding will dance” and throughout the night the dance floor was never empty. All of our guests had a great time and even commented on how good he was as a DJ and MC that day. We also got the uplight package and felt like it really made a difference in the ambiance of the evening. We had to move our ceremony indoors due to bad weather and Alex was accommodating and prepared ahead of time. Would give him 5 stars from beginning to end and would highly recommend!

Bass & Bliss is the vendor you NEED for your next event! Alex Dj'd my wedding and I cannot express enough about how amazing he was! From our planning meeting to his online portal, he made the process incredibly easy and enjoyable. On our wedding day, his music choices were spot on to our vibe and he even threw in some of his own personal mixes! (Which my guests loved!) When it came to his M.C.ing, he did not miss a beat and spoke clearly and promptly when needed. We are so happy we booked Bass & Bliss for our big day. Thank you, Alex!

Bass and Bliss was a great hire for our special day! From the first zoom meeting to the very last dance at our wedding, everything was smooth sailing! Alex (owner) was always available and answered all questions and Sean (the actual d.j.) did an amazing job keeping the whole thing on track! Haha. They even gave us a gift card and a special wedding gift! Very thoughtful 👏. Thanks for the sweet jams!

Alex was an incredible DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning he was extremely professional and organized. He walked us through his online portal which was easy to use, and met with us before the wedding to really understand our event and the vibe we were going for. His communication was perfect and he took so much stress out of the planning stage. During the event he was super easy to work with and provided our coordinator and officiant a seamless experience. He hit all the cues during the ceremony and played the perfect mix during the reception. Literally every song was on point. We also rented the photo booth which was such a hit. I cannot recommend him enough!

Josiah was our DJ for a large wedding welcome party we had and immediately knew what type of music / vibe we were going for. He did a terrific job with the playlist and transitions, and we constantly had people coming up to my wife and I asking who the DJ was and if he had a playlist they could find! Would highly, highly recommend!

The music for our wedding reception was one of the most important things we wanted to nail, and Alex from Bass & Bliss straight up delivered! He was super organized and communicative leading up to the big day, providing a portal where we could submit our music selections for key moments and give him an idea of our music tastes. We were most impressed by his ability to read the crowd and adjust. Once he saw how our guests were loving all the early 2000s hip hop, he catered to the vibe and kept the party going strong all night! Alex is a talented DJ, and we highly recommend working with him for any event.

From the moment we hired Bass and Bliss, we experienced nothing but great communication, amazing services and fair pricing! Alex and Sean made our entire musical process easy and more importantly, fun! The online system made music planning feel effortless. The database was not only easy to navigate, but allowed us to include any detail (big or small) that we wanted. We had multiple communications with both Alex and Sean, who made every effort to ensure that our day went smoothly. They even reached out to our venue ahead of time to finalize any details. On the day of, my guests had nothing but compliments for Sean! He was entertaining without being overbearing, and kept our guests on the dancefloor all night long (seriously, I had to kick everyone out because they wouldn't leave!). If I had to do it again, I would absolutely hire Bass and Bliss!

Alex was AMAZING! Having a good DJ was such a necessity for our wedding, and Alex surpassed our expectations. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable leading up to the wedding, which we really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, he made everything run so smoothly and just perfected the vibe we were going for. In my vows, I mentioned that my husband was a Red Sox fan. Alex picked up on that and played "Sweet Caroline" just for him, which was a huge hit for my husband and all our friends. I really appreciated that moment because it showed how much Alex was paying attention to each detail to make sure our wedding was as personalized as possible. 95% of people were on the dance floor all night long (even the older folks), which is exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments on the music and many people told us it was the best wedding they've been to! Would highly recommend Alex to anyone and everyone!

Bass and Bliss was amazing! Very organized and helped us to make sure all the boxes were checked. They provided lots of check ins, a venue walk through and even fed the hungry swans during the ceremony so they would not be a distraction. The music all night was spot on! We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an amazing DJ.

Holy MOLY. Alex was PERFECT in every single way as a DJ and a MC. He made the planning process so fun and made it very clear he is not the traditional DJ.. and we loved that! Everyone was talking about how good the music was and he truly nailed our vibe so perfectly. He had all of the young crowd and the older crowd on the dance floor the entire time. The mash ups were so original and cool. Seriously everyone would not stop talking about the music. The up-lights also added such a vibe to the venue and I highly suggest you add those onto your package. This was not something I wanted to splurge on but trust me they are worth it! They really made the whole terrace look magical. Alex did not miss a single music cue for ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception and was so clear and concise with directions for our guests. The flow of the event was flawless because of him. Hire this man for any event you may have. DJ Alex Updike is an absolute 100/10!!! Xx Zoe & Justin Hauser

From a Wedding Coordinator, Bass & Bliss were GREAT to work with. The night went well and our clients and guest were very happy. The music was great and the party did not stop until the end! I highly recommend Bass & Bliss to all couples looking for someone who is going to get the party started!

We had an amazing experience with Alex. He was fully engaged with us during all our virtual meetings. His website was easy to navigate. Overall, made our interactions seamless. We trusted him to do his thing and he killed it! Thanks again Alex!

Alex was truly the best possible DJ/MC we could have asked for! Music was a big priority for our wedding so from our first call with Alex we knew we were in great hands! He made the planning process super easy and fun with the online portal, and he was always super responsive and easy to talk to if we had any questions. He covered every little detail in our planning meeting and everything was perfect on the day! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception and after party, everything flowed so well and we had so much fun! He was so great at reading the crowd during the dance and somehow made all of our random requests work too! Thank you Alex/Bass & Bliss for making our wedding so incredible!

We booked Bass & Bliss for our wedding in Indian Wells and DJ Alex was fantastic! The whole planning process was very smooth and easy. Alex's response time was quick and he made sure to follow-up with detailed questions to make sure that everything happened as planned. We also purchased the uplighting package, and Alex did a great job of lighting the room. The day of our wedding, Alex was great as well! He did a great job at MCing and reading the room and making sure everybody was having a good time. Would definitely recommend Bass & Bliss for your party needs!

Alex did an absolutely phenomenal job. He had 3 set-ups, one for ceremony, cocktail/afterparty, and reception and he made sure he was keeping the music going wherever the party was supposed to be. I got tons of compliments on the music from my guests who were dancing all night. He took all of our input and music requests from his super easy to use portal and turned it into a memorable playlist. I would recommend him for any wedding. Complete professional and adaptable to any situation you need to make your party great.

So even though we did not end up going with this vendor (ended up with a close contact to our planner), I just wanted to leave a review for the portion of the process that we did go through. Alex reached out to us promptly after I contacted him regarding our wedding in December. He supplied a helpful brochure and set us up with a zoom call. He proceeded to walk us through the entire process and had a presentation that answered most of my questions before I even asked them. I really appreciate his professionalism, and I would recommend his services to anyone who asked!

We had Sean DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and he was awesome! Very professional and entertaining! All of his set ups were discrete and he was very accommodating to our music choices and made the day SO FUN! I would highly recommend Sean and Bass and Bliss for your events!

Alex was amazing from the day we hired him. He got back to us in a timely manner always, helping in anyway he can, did a mix of two songs for our first dance. We appreciate the professionalism we experienced with him and would gladly hire him again he kept the party going all night long. ❤️

I just want to say thank you very much to Alex for an incredible ceremony and reception. I was very particular and hesitant when it came to DJs because I have such a diverse mix of friends and family. Alex was incredibly thorough from his client portal to his pre-wedding meeting to ensure that the day-of will go smoothly. He puts his clients' first and listens carefully to what they want the vibe to be for their special day. He understood the assignment and was able to adapt to last minute changes. We couldnt have asked for a better DJ. Thank you!

DJ ALex did wonderfully at our wedding. His music really set the mood for all parts of the wedding. He adapted to what the crowd was feeling while adding in our personal favorites as well! Thank you DJ Alex! Would absolutely hire again!

Alex, owner of Bass & Bliss was an exquisite DJ/MC for our wedding back in May. His preparation and communication exceeded our expectations. Alex sought to understand the vibe that we were looking for and also honed in on what we did not want as well. We gave him free rein on music selection (within our genres), with a few exceptions, and he KILLED IT. He kept the mood appropriate for each sub-section of our wedding, he ensured the wedding flowed well in partnership with our coordinator. We couldn't have asked for more. If you're looking for a stellar DJ for your wedding or event, Alex is your guy.

I have actually seen Alex Updike at TWO weddings (mine and a coworkers). Let me say that this man has range! His knowledges transcends various music genres and is an expert at reading the crowd. He is extremely flexible, kind, and is overall everything you'd want in a DJ. His website is really good too btw!

Alex made our wedding so much fun! He understood the vibe we were going after. He helped our vision of our wedding feel more like a party come to life and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thank you so much, Alex!

We wanted to take the time to send a huge THANK YOU to DJ Alex for helping to make our wedding day a huge success and keeping the party going all night!! Alex is fantastic DJ!! He is very professional and did such a great job engaging the crowd, taking requests and checking in from time to time with Emily and myself during the evening. If you are looking for a DJ who takes the time to get to know you and your partner as well as your music tastes look no further! Alex went above and beyond! Definitely recommend his great photo booth as well - was a massive hit with everyone at the wedding! There are so many great memories from that night and the music was a huge part of making it that much more special. Thank you so much Alex! Cheers, Emily & Jean-Claude

We booked Bass & Bliss for our wedding in Joshua Tree and Alex Updike could not have been better to work with!!! His second Dj Sean was the one who worked our wedding and he absolutely killed it!! We told him the vibe and had some songs we definitely wanted played and it was perfect. He listened to our requests and understood the assignment. We had several songs that we wanted to start at certain times and even our first dance song we wanted mashed up with another and he mixed it beautifully! The dance floor was going off!!!! Everyone had a blast and I can not recommend them enough!! Incredibly professional yet extremely personable!!! If you need a dj for any event, Bass & Bliss is IT!

I cannot say enough about Bass & Bliss and their DJ services. As a preferred vendor and partner, we have had the pleasure of working together on numerous occasions during the Spring wedding season. DJ Sean really stands out in particular as the ultimate professional. He is extremely personable, detail oriented and works diligently to create a special ambiance and the perfect vibe for each of our couples and their unique celebrations. Thank you, DJ Sean and the Bass & Bliss team, for all that you do. Much appreciated. Dorothy McCally Event Manager Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden & Labyrinth Yucca Valley, CA

I had an opportunity to work with Bass & Bliss this past weekend at one of my wedding events. Sean P was amazing!!! He was responsive, flexible, professional and all around easy to work with, a real crowd pleaser. I very much look forward to working with him again on future events.

Angelina R. We hired Alex as our dj for our wedding and from the start he was amazing! Responds so quick, had a portal that was easy to use, helped with song selections, and made our wedding day so fun! Our guests absolutely loved him. I would recommend him to anyone! THANK YOU ALEX 😊

Alex is extremely organized and efficient. His MC skills were on point and he didn't miss a beat or detail with all our requests, itinerary and specifics. Our dance floor was full the entire reception...SUCCESS!! Punctual and very professional.

Alex is very organized, professional and all a round great DJ. From making it easy to plan out music to following up with us and communicating back in a timely manner. Alex did an amazing job working with us to make our wedding great. Would highly recommend.

Alex is awesome, helped with way more than just choosing music, and we would definitely recommend his services! He was able to offer good suggestions for many parts of the events that would require music/sound/MC. He was super responsive and organized, and had a great platform for letting him know which songs should be played when. Alex also was able to hear what kinds of music we liked, and play songs that we were really happy with without us even naming them.

We are so glad we chose DJ Alex Updike! He was friendly, professional, and flexible. He was able to take our eclectic musical choices and turn it into a coherent playlist. We were impressed with how well it turned out and reflected our musical preferences! We had some last minute changes and requests which he was able to accommodate seamlessly and without any added stress for us. Our guests loved him, we got so many compliments about his services!

DJ Alex Updike is a MUST HAVE at your Wedding. Alex was quick to respond to all our questions and made sure our wedding day went as smooth as possible. Through the pre planning stage he took time to get to know us and our music preferences. On the wedding day Alex was punctual, polite and dressed exceptionally nice. Alex announced everything perfectly and right on cue. He made sure there wasn't a dull moment throughout the entire day. DJ Alex isn't just a great announcer he has a true gift for reading the room, mixing tracks and making seamless song transitions. DJ Alex Updike was the backbone of our entire Wedding day and we are so pleased with his performance. If you are on the fence about getting a DJ, I will tell you from experience, you absolutely need a DJ and you NEED DJ Alex Updike. He is the best there is!!!!

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding that Alex was a DJ for. DJs can really make or break a wedding and He is one of the best DJs I have ever worked with! He is professional, kept things on track along with my coordination, and was great about communication! He really captured the couples music wants! Most of all, he was entertaining with announcements and kept the party going!! The dance floor was never empty from start to finish!

From the beginning, Alex made us feel so supported. He listened so intently to what our vision for our wedding was and he totally delivered. We wanted our wedding music to be different & unique. Everyone at our wedding was blown away by Alex. We felt like we were at a Rufus Du Sol concert in the desert. He kept everyone on the dance floor for 4 hours. My mom even said her and my aunt were just chatting on the dance floor because that’s where everyone was and they wanted to be part of it. Thank you Alex for making the planning process and our wedding PERFECT.

Alex was an amazing DJ to work with for our wedding! He was extremely professional, punctual and flexible (especially when our band needed AV needs at the last minute). We cannot recommend him enough and our guests all loved his choice of music. We wanted our wedding to feel like a huge party and boy did he deliver!

Look no further- DJ Alex Updike is truly the BEST! He exceeded our expectations from the time of our initial Zoom meeting to the last dance at our destination wedding in Palm Springs (La Quinta). We can't say enough great things about DJ Alex Updike. He is personable, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and worked with us to create the fun, lively atmosphere we had longed for on our big day. We all had the time of our lives because of his ability to read the room and play songs that appealed to all wedding guests. Further, DJ Alex's online platform is user-friendly and there are package "add-ons" such as uplighting that will enhance any event's vibe! He made the entire planning process a breeze and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life! These will forever be special memories to us and DJ Alex Updike was, without a doubt, the best DJ we could have asked for. THANK YOU!!!

Alex was a fantastic DJ not just for our wedding but in the two YEARS it took us to finally have our big day (thx Covid). Alex not only checked in along the way, but he didn't miss a beat when the weekend finally rolled around. After speaking with a couple other DJ's, Alex was a welcome relief in accommodating our wants/playlists for the ceremony and dinner while also bringing his own heat once the dance floor opened up. Good taste while lacking some of the pretension of other DJ's we spoke to. Can't speak highly enough of him.

If you're looking for the best DJ that really caters to your likes and listens to your preferences, look no further! Alex was seriously the best DJ we could have had for our bIG DAY! He was so professional! From our first meeting when he talked about his company, to all the planning for our wedding day for our music through his DJ Portal, to meeting week of to talk details. Everything was absolutely perect. He played all the requests that we wanted and some! We told him the type of music that loved (and even the music we didn't) and he blew our expectations out of the water. He engaged with all of our guests and the ceremony and reception were such a success because of his expertise! I wish I could get married all over again just to have that killer party that he helped us throw for all our friends. All in all, DJ Alex is THE BEST and you definitely want him there on your big day to help you dance the night away!

Alex is the absolute BEST! He is a perfect blend of professional and fun. He was very attentive to all of our wants and needs for our wedding. He met with us multiple times before the wedding to understand how we wanted the ceremony to run, as well as what vibe we wanted for our reception. He uses a user friendly platform where you can upload the songs you want to be played throughout the event. But more than anything, he helped us throw an incredible event. He exceeded every expectation, and is just a good dude! USE ALEX FOR YOUR WEDDING!! You won't be disappointed.

Alex is the very BEST of the best. I was cringing at the idea of a cheesy wedding DJ and Alex is ANYTHING but that. From the very first meeting I was so impressed by him: professional, detail-oriented, responsive, and so much more. Exactly the kind of vendor you want on your wedding team. I cannot say enough good things about him or recommend him enough. Don't waste your time interviewing others; no one is better than Alex.

Alex DJ’ed for our wedding and it was everything we could have ever asked for! He was incredibly detailed and answered all of my questions right away. The music was perfect and we are so happy we found him! He also provided us with a beautiful framed photo of our first dance lyrics. Thank you for everything!

Alex was an amazing DJ! I told him our crowd was millennials and he KILLED IT. I had people complimenting me all night on how good he was. The dance floor was insane because he was playing the hits for our group. Highly recommend, he was so wonderful!

DJ Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very professional, organized and thoughtful. Not only is he a great DJ, but he's also a great MC. I would recommend DJ Alex to any of my friends or family.

Alex, thank you for the best day of my life! You really out did yourself. For someone who is not tech savvy, Alex will help you! Once you get access to his site as a bride/groom BOOM! He has it ALLLL! He is very tech savvy and if you don't know what you want he will help you out. I can not thank Alex enough for all of the coordination in took for him to help me to figure out what I wanted! Honestly, I did not think I needed it until we did the walk though before the wedding... and oh boy did I need help. You (Alex), were there through every step and offered help along the way with songs that I didn't even realize I needed. SO, THANK YOU! You are one of a kind!

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding that Alex Updike DJ-ed a few weeks ago and loved working with him! He was very professional and responsive before the wedding, answering all my questions and problem solving with me. Then on the wedding day he was an immensely positive presence and kept the dance floor going all night, transitioning seamlessly between songs (and bad transitions are a big pet peeve of mine) and making sure that everyone, especially the couple, had a great time. I would absolutely recommend working with Alex Updike to my future clients!

Alex was our DJ and MC for our wedding at Feast and Fareway in Coronado on Oct 2nd 2021. We knew he would be the perfect DJ for us when we heard one of his wedding mixes on Instagram. The fact that he was born in Iowa (where my wife and I are from) was the cherry on top! He did an awesome job of making the night flow smoothly and had a great set. All of our guests said he was the best DJ they have ever had at a wedding. He had everyone of all ages dancing all night long and even had my wife’s parents on the dance floor which I don’t think has ever happened! Most importantly for me, my wife was so happy with everything with all the services he provided. HIRE ALEX FOR YOUR WEDDING! You will not be disappointed!
