CCE DJ’d our wedding, and they made the process so easy! Aaron was our DJ, and he was AWESOME! We filled out the music survey that they gave us and gave him specific songs to play for key events (ex. The ceremony procession, first dance, walk in song, etc) and the kind of music we liked, and then for the dinner and dancing, we didn’t give a playlist, just trusted him to play and mix songs based on the vibe, and he absolutely killed it! He read the room and played exactly what worked for the reception, and was willing to change the song if he could tell our guests weren’t feeling it. He had pretty much everyone dancing all the way until midnight! Our reception was an absolute blast in large part because of Aaron and CCE!
We also used CCE for our photo booth, and our guests LOVED having that as an activity during cocktail hour! They were so kind and accommodating, and we so appreciate the photo booth picture guest book that they put together for us as well! Their sunglasses props also came in super handy when we were short a couple pairs for a family wedding tradition :)
We chose CCE for our wedding Jan 2024 and they made our event fabulous! We were the first wedding of the year for them at The Ranch at Silver Creek in San Jose; they partnered with WedgeWood Weddings and provided a memorable experience for our special day. I am a bilingual bride and it was priceless to have DJs that understood my culture and the beauty of our music. We also had a "dancing in the clouds" moment where they had a fog machine release clouds on the dance floor--which amazed not only us but our guests! We got so many compliments from our guests in regards to the music and it was so wonderful to see everyone having such a great time. We were able to upload songs from our Spotify account onto their online portal which was so much more practical than having to write it out. I can only say wonderful things about CCE; they were the perfect team to host our wedding and it turned out as fun and special as it did because of their help. Thank you so much CCE!
Leo and his team did an awesome job organizing and making sure our wedding experience was to our liking. Leo also went above and beyond to elevate our wedding experience and make our guests feel welcome and have an awesome time. I can't speak highly enough of Leo and his wonderful personality and high standards of service and experience.
Amazing team. I’ve worked with CCE for multiple events. The most recent was my wedding.
Leo, Elia and their team are amazing. Our MC was great, DJ was good. The team that set up our draping and up lighting did a fantastic job. Adding such great detail to our beautiful backyard wedding.
Our SLO-based wedding planner recommended Javier for his professionalism, kindness and attention to detail. After our initial phone call, we knew it wasn't necessary to meet with any other DJ's - Javier was a perfect fit!
On the wedding weekend itself, Javier made a point of attending our rehearsal and cut special, shortened renditions of our Reception songs. He went above and beyond to make our wedding special and can't recommend him enough!
The whole team at CCE was exceptional and amazing. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had a change of plans and had to plan our wedding in two weeks. Leo and his team took the time to ensure they had a deep understanding of our music preferences and they helped us create a vision of our wedding despite only having less than two weeks to plan. By the end of our meeting with Leo and the team, we felt like they were part of our family. Our wedding surpassed our expectations and I would highly recommend CCE to anyone looking for professional, creative, caring entertainment services.
Central Coast Entertainment was the DJ/MC vendor Carmel Fields provided for our wedding. They did an amazing job for our wedding and we received so much compliments for how professional and to the point our MC and DJ were. No extra fluff, no non-sense, just pure entertainment for guests and us.
I believe our MC's name is Ivan and DJ is Victor. They were super kind and fun. We also got Karaoke with CCE and Jerry did a terrific job setting things up and manning the process.
Highly recommend working with CCE, whether you're going through a wedgewood venue or not. They are professional and the best.
Thank you CCE!
i am so glad we picked CCE to dj and mc our wedding. Leo and his team were the best. From the first meeting, to final meeting, to the big day. DJ Israel and MC Ivan were amazing. So many guests asked us who each was and said nothing but good things about both. Ivan pumped up the crowd from the beginning and Israel kept the dance floor full.
I am also so glad i also added the floating on clouds affect and cold sparklers. if you're thinking about both, get both!! Thank you CCE again!
Central Coast entertainment did an amazing job. The whole night went seamless and they were easily able/happy to accommodate our bilingual wedding! Would highly recommend.
Leo and his team at CCE were truly amazing. I don’t have enough words to explain how well they took care of me and made my experience so wonderful. Leo is professional and personable, he made us feel very safe and secure in our choice to have his team at my wedding. He is very detailed about what is offered, what to expect, and what can be done—and you bet he will do whatever he can to satisfy his clients on their big day!
Leo accompanied me to one of my venue walk-throughs and was extremely helpful and took care of all the details regarding my big day. He made sure that he took photos of the surroundings, asked questions about how I would like the set up and how I would like the day to go in terms of music and any special things that I felt I needed. When I was stressed during the meeting he came to me and said, “don’t worry we will figure everything out and we’re going to make sure your day goes perfect.—Do whatever YOU want.” He was almost like my second wedding planner with all the great tips! His character speaks volumes and he is wonderful to work with. I truly can’t wait to continue to pass his team along to others in need of his services.
Our DJ was Lupe who also takes care of all the mixing and special songs. One thing I knew about my wedding was I was going to be specific about the music played, for me it was a make it or break it experience. Not only does Lupe have awesome mixes on his Instagram to make you feel reassured, he is passionate about what he does. (Also, Leo is an amazing DJ and you should checkout his Instagram too). Lupe really helped me feel comfortable about sharing all my playlists and making sure that what I liked was going to be played, especially because they knew music was a very important part of my day. We had a good time planning and he knew exactly what I wanted and that made me even more excited when I found out he would be my main DJ & MC at my wedding. He did an amazing job, mixing my ceremony songs and hyping me up when I picked some non-traditional songs, but he made sure my vision came true— and it did! The music was just perfect and everyone was complimenting the playlist. I’m so happy that they actually take into consideration, your likes, and your dislikes, and not just doing whatever they please, because that is often a very big issue with other DJs. They respect your decisions and your style and they go with it because they want to make you as happy as you can be on your big day and they absolutely did that for me! Lupe is so uplifting that he is always pumping up the crowd and you can see him running around everywhere and making sure that everything’s going good and everybody’s happy.
Their team is so caring and thoughtful throughout the entire process and even after your wedding day, they are the type of people to check in on you and make sure you’re doing well. I really cannot say enough positive things about CCE. They aren’t just in the business to get as many events under their belt. They really care about you and want to make sure your day is the best that it can be and they will go out of their way to make things happen and that’s what I truly love about them. They’re very easy-going and very respectful. They care about their clients.
I’m not the type to write reviews if I don’t mean what I say. And I always have a lot of great things to say about CCE. I hope to work with them again in the future!
Thank you again Leo, Lupe, Elia & the entire CCE team! We love you!
