We would 100% recommend Joel for any event! His energy is contagious and his personality is perfect for an MC/DJ. He worked with us to curate the perfect flow for cocktail hour, sp...
eeches, and the dance floor. He is thorough and thoughtful. The dancefloor was a main focus for our reception and what we were most excited for and Joel had our dancefloor PACKED the entire night! He is truly exceptional at what he does.
Joel was absolutely phenomenal and exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding DJ. From our very first phone call, we clicked right away and knew he was the right choice for us...
based on his positive energy, enthusiasm, and flexibility. He seamlessly handled both our ceremony and reception music, keeping everything flowing perfectly. Joel brought such great energy to the day, and his voice and presence as an emcee was engaging, lively, and not overbearing. His taste in music is fantastic—not only did he nail our must-play list, but he also added amazing songs in a similar style that fit the vibe perfectly. He created an incredible atmosphere that kept the dance floor full all night long, and many of our guests commented on how great the music was. We couldn’t recommend Joel more highly!
Cali West DJs was great for our wedding! Joel was incredibly helpful and guided us through the process. The planning process was easy and detailed. The day of the wedding I didn't ...
even have to think about the music, as it was all already handled by them. I would highly recommend!
We worked with Joel for our wedding in May and he was so awesome! Our initial call we got a really good vibe from him and knew he would do a great job. He always responded quickly,...
had great insight and advice, and most importantly, he kept our dance floor packed the whole night! I love that he’s also an excellent MC because it really helped our guests know what was happening/coming next and that made the day way smoother over all. Thank you Joel!!

pted a perfect series of music. I could not ask for a better DJ! He was super easy to work with too!
Joel played all the music we wanted. It wasn’t your typical wedding music and he made it so fun. Any song we wanted he found, even if it wasn’t already in his list.
Before our bi...

utting your DJ search off until the last minute, but if you must, Joel is your guy! I'm not sure how he did it, but he created the perfect vibe with a brilliantly curated playlist, after only knowing us for a short amount of time. Thank you, Joel, for being a true professional and a master of your craft!
Joel was an incredible DJ for both our wedding ceremony & reception! He made it so easy for us to upload our songs and executed everything perfectly. Our guests had an amazing time...

Joel was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was super professional and easy to contact throughout our wedding planning. He provided all the necessary equipment that our band needed ...
during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was a great MC and kept the party going for the whole dance. So many people told us that our wedding was the best they've been to and I think Joel had a huge role in that :)
We had an amazing wedding and reception thanks to Joel! He was professional, responsive, and so much fun. We had a few game-time changes at our wedding and he handled it effortless...
ly, guests never knew any different! I recommend confirming playlists and sound needs earlier rather than later, because I did all of this the week before the wedding which was a little stressful (not Joel's fault...mine!). Still went off without a hitch. Thank you Joel for everything.
Joel was a real pleasure to work with. We decided to hire him after our initial inquiry call. He was friendly, he had a quick responsive turnaround time, and was very accommodating...
to our song choices. I'd definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding!
We (I) accidentally hired our first wedding DJ for the wrong date and ultimately this was a blessing in disguise! Joel was awesome - super responsive, great to work with, and every...
one at the wedding was raving about the music. I'm a super type A organized planner, so his interactive website that you can log on to once you book him was SO helpful and appreciated. You can play around with your list of songs (for specific events/dances and also general reception and ceremony) until right before the wedding. There's even suggestions for popular wedding songs and genres if you need help. Highly, highly recommend!
Joel was seriously amazing! He zoomed with me before the event to make sure he knew our timeline, what was important to us, and how to pronounce everyone’s names! He stuck to the t...
imeline, checked in with us and worked with our wedding planner seamlessly. His music selection was PERFECT and he played every song we asked him to!!! We are so thankful for Joel, he was perfect! Hire him!
Joel was so invested in making our night a night to remember. He really put his heart into everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!

was packed the entire night and everyone raved about the music being played! Thank you so much, Joel!
Joel killed it! He was present from the beginning! He made sure to get all his details long before the wedding with a detailed worksheet. He had a meeting with us 2 weeks before to...
make sure he understood all the little things we wanted. Great conversationalist. Ceremony was perfect, cocktail hour was perfect, reception was perfect. Great voice! He was very accommodating. When I wanted a song to be changed he would do it! He would have stayed longer if the venue allowed. He was worth the money and I am thankful to have found him. He made our day magical! I don’t think I could recommend anyone else but him. I’m am extremely grateful.
Joel was the best DJ we've every had the pleasure to work with. He was SO on top of it and made our wedding day even more perfect. Everyone loved him and he was so fun to talk to....
I cannot say enough great things about his skills and how sweet of a person he was. We will literally have another event just to work with him again. Thanks for the best wedding day ever, Joel!
