We recently used Crowd Control Entertainment for our wedding on 90/13/24 at Hawk Ranch in Murrieta, Ca. Genesis and Alex were so helpful throughout the entire process of our wedding. Genesis was very responsive and worked with us throughout the wedding planning process. We had Alex for our DJ and MC and he did such a wonderful job all our family was raving about him! Alex worked with us to customize our taste and build off our playlist for a memorable night. Thank you guys so much for everything!

Ivan was great, he was our DJ for our wedding at long shadow ranch winery, super professional and great to talk to. he personally called us Wednesday night before the wedding on Friday to cover basses and make sure everything was good.
i did have my doubts but they blew that out of the water. i gave him a list of the must haves and must plays. and then gave full range for the rest of the night. did a job of doing that, i will recommend for sure

Martin was the DJ for our wedding and we had an absolute blast! We had some specific song and timing requests and Martin took the time to meet with us before the wedding and was able to meet all of our requests on the day of!
We had an amazing time dancing at the wedding with a perfect mix of music that kept the dance floor full all night long!

Five stars isn't enough for this team!
We were an out-of-town midwestern couple looking for a wedding DJ for our Palm Springs wedding. From our first communication with the Crowd Control team, we knew we were in the right place. Not being in the state until the week of the wedding may have been stressful to some, but Jason and Aaron put our minds at ease and communicated efficiently leading up to our day!
When the day arrived, they did a wonderful job keeping the day and evening moving along, respected our requests for music, and absolutely brought the party. I have a couple of friends who have worked in the wedding industry that mentioned Crowd Control was the best wedding DJ they'd experienced, and we agree!
ABSOLUTELY would recommend their services!!

They did a wonderful job at my wedding. I loved the music and I couldn't stop dancing. However, he did play the wrong song for my bridesmaids but it turned out to be a great night. I just wish they played a few more of the songs I had requested. At one point I had to plug in my phone to get the songs I wanted. Again, they did great and I couldn't get off the dance floor. Will always recommend it. Their photo booth was an absolute hit!

Let me just say if you are looking for a DJ, you have come to the right place!
We had a wedding and DJ crowd control was used for our wedding with DJ Aaron.
As a type A bride, I wanted everything done perfectly down the music. DJ Aaron was amazing with keeping the crowd dancing! He was great at keeping my Do’s and Don’ts music’s in order.
We also added on a photobooth for our wedding through DJ crowd control and let me just say the lighting they bring makes you look amazing! They even let us customize our phototbooth prints.
Our night was great and so much fun!
We had the best wedding and we give so much thanks to our DJ and making the night so perfect!

We booked crowd control dj for our wedding, and we are very happy and pleased with booking them! Alex was our DJ, he was amazing! It was everything I envisioned, I wanted everyone to be having a great time and dancing, and he did exactly that! Crowd control was great with communication too, answered all of my questions quickly. I would 10/10 recommend!!

Crowd Control Entertainment (specifically Jason and Aaron) ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside! We hired them knowing they do great work but they EXCEEDED our expectations in every possible way. They had an awesome LED TV screen in front of the DJ booth with our names on it. They created the BEST ENERGY and read the crowd extremely well with the song choices. Jason and Aaron were able to create a completely customized song list for us (incorporating Russian music – for my side of the family, traditional Jewish songs, classic wedding hits for the dinner portion and the BEST dance mix for post dinner). We received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS from our guests that they’ve never heard better music at a wedding and they’ve never seen more people dancing and rush to the dance floor as soon as the music started. Prior to the wedding, Crowd Control Entertainment provided us with a music portal to help us choose songs and get ideas prior to the wedding – which was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. If you want the absolute best of the best when it comes to music, choose Jason and Aaron for all your MC and DJ needs. We’ll be using ONLY THEM in the future!

Really appreciated the prep questionnaires ahead of time, and all the important songs were played exactly as requested. The custom TV screen with our names in front of it was a fantastic touch and looked so great in the photos. The MCing was also great. They also complimented my playlists which I really appreciated. We did make a note to ask them to do the shoe game, then they asked us during dinner which questions they should ask (which I linked in the questionnaire). We ended up not even doing the game since people danced the entire time, but I do wish that part had been better. All in all, our guests loved the dancing and it was the most magical evening.

My Husband and I were completely blown away by how great Crowd Control Entertainment was, they made our Wedding even more memorable! From the first song we wanted played before the ceremony to the last song for our Sparkler Send Off, everything was perfect! Not only did our guests dance all night, but they were in awe over the Dry Ice Effect for our first dance. The entire room was flooded with a cloud that covered everyone's feet...It was beautiful!
Crowd Control Entertainment is a MUST for your Wedding or any special event! They are Friendly, Professional and go beyond expectations! LOVE THEM!!

Crowd Control was recommended by our venue since they partner up frequently for events. It was money well spent! They did such an awesome job. Music is the only thing I was particular about for our big day and they really listened to our list and asked questions to make sure our vibe was what we wanted. The team kept nearly all of our guests on the dance floor the whole night. It was incredible! The lights were amazing too and I wasn’t even expecting it all to LOOK as good as it sounded. We had so much and our guests were really blown away.

I contracted Crowd Control as a recommendation from another team member at my venue. We had contracted a DJ/MC AND videographer through them. To say they are the best is an understatement. Their administrative team gave me the confidence and reassurance that they will make it to our big-day prepared and ready to bring the entertainment. Alex & his assistant (our DJ) was AMAZING! He had everyone on the dance floor, hit every genre we had asked for, and was really getting everyone up on their feet. The guests praised them for the amazing music selection and vibes! Raymond our videographer was incredible. He was there moving swiftly to capture all of our moments on camera. He did a phenomenal job and we are utterly pleased with their services. I highly recommend for your wedding event! Great job everyone!

Jason went above and beyond and 100% recommend him. I would definitely hire these guys again in the future. Also, their digital photo booth was the best. My guests loved it and had a blast at my wedding. Thank you for the memories you helped us create.

Our wedding planner recommended Crowd Control for our wedding and we could not have been happier with them! We were a bit concerned with Palm Springs noise ordinance restrictions, but Crowd Control seamlessly found creative solutions that made the ceremony, reception, and dance party successful! Aaron and Jason were so nice and communicative leading up to the event, asking what type of music we liked and what songs we wanted. They completely delivered, including closing out the dance party with our absolute favorite hits. We absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a DJ for an important event. Thank you so much for making our special day a hit!

We last minute had to change locations of our venue due to a fire evacuation in Temecula. We had to find a new Dj and photo booth and luckily they were available with such short notice! They were quick at responding and planning with less than a day to plan! We appreciate them and their service

I could not be more pleased with my experience with Crowd Control! CC was recommended to me by our amazing wedding venue Monte de Oro in Temecula and I can see why they were highly recommended. We hired them for DJ services, uplighting at our venue, and a photo booth, and across the board they were fantastic. They were extremely professional, reliable, and punctual, expertly setting up everything the day of the event (June 2022). Prior to the wedding, they were flexible, communicative, and had this awesome easy-to-use portal for inputting everything from first dance songs to my Spotify playlists. I loved Aaron and the entire CC team. I sent them so many e-mails prior to the event and they did literally everything I asked for. DJ Aaron kept the party going and checked in with us throughout the night. It was the best wedding/dance party ever! I can't say enough good things about Crowd Control and sincerely hope I have an event to hire them for in the future. A million thanks to the entire team for making our wedding incredible!

My husband and I booked CCE for our wedding and Jason was really awesome. He was accommodating to our requests, and the communication prior to our event was honestly so good, that it always kept me at ease. They arrived on time to set up and even though our venue layout was kind of weird, they made everything work perfectly. I also loved how they kept into consideration our venues regulations while still making everything fun. Our guests were entertained and I loved how well Jason read our crowd. Will definitely keep them in mind for future events!

We are so happy with our decision to go with Crowd Control for our wedding! They were incredible from the very start - great communication, easy to use client portal, engaged prior to the big day, more than accommodating with schedule, requests, photo booth design, etc.. On the day of, Aaron did a fantastic job. We trusted him to curate the playlist and play music that would get the people on the dance floor, and he absolutely delivered. Our photo booth pics came out so good too, everyone loves them.
I can't say enough good things about this team, and if you are looking for a company that makes things effortless on your end but delivers a phenomenal and memorable product, these are the guys for you! Thank you Aaron & Jason & the rest of the crew!!

We chose Crowd Control for our wedding in the desert, and we were very satisfied. Aaron was a real professional. He checked in with us at the beginning, played a great selection for dinner and dancing based on our list of about 30 or so songs, and even had some personal touches on the DJ booth visuals screen for the wedding. We were very pleased with the service and would definitely use them again in the future for an event.

I cannot express how absolutely thrilled we are with Crowd Control and Aaron/Jason’s impeccable service! Having done most of the planning and design for our wedding on our own, we are really appreciated Crowd Control’s consistently prompt communication, can-do attitude, and overall chillness throughout our special weekend. Their DJ services for our welcome drinks were top notch, not to mention that Crowd Control’s karaoke set-up with the console/teleprompter far exceeded our expectations in terms of technology and ease of use. We've since received many compliments on the great energy on Friday night! On Saturday for our reception, they did an excellent job installing disco balls and the rest of our decor. We also received so many thank you's from guests who couldn't attend in person but really appreciated the Zoom livestream (which they coordinated) and how nice it was to be included on our special day. On top of everything, Crowd Control’s rates are very competitive and I am thankful to their team for providing such great value. Planning a wedding, it is easy to feel like you are getting gouged with prices at every turn and it was such a relief knowing that we could keep adding tasks to our event and that everything we asked for was going to be possible, and that their team would do it with a smile. Couldn’t recommend these guys more highly!

I'm so happy going with Crowd Control for my wedding. We got DJ Alex and he was soooo nice, fun, cool and just supportive. I am very satisfied with the music he played all night and his overall kindness. I would definitely recommend this company for any event and I would recommend Dj Alex as well, he was truly so kind and I'm so grateful we got him. He also took music recommendations and made sure we were happy and taken care of all night. Thank you so much Alex and Crowd Control Team.

Aaron & Jason are amazing! We originally planned to host our own music for our wedding, but after talking with the guys are Crowd Control we were immediately sold by their friendliness and professionalism. They accommodated all of our needs and made the process easy. Along with their helpfulness in getting prepared for the big day, when it came to the actual performance, they absolutely KILLED it! They incorporated all of our favorite music while keeping the good vibes going all throughout the night. All in all, Aaron & Jason are the absolute best at what they do, and their charm and demeanor made working with them a pleasure. 10/10 would hire again for any big event!

Crowd Control Entertainment was referred to us by our venue as their preferred DJ, and I can clearly see why. They had a great package deal that also included lighting which worked perfectly for our budget and timeline. Their online planning portal was top notch, and their team was so helpful in making sure they would deliver the exact experience we wanted. Ok so now to the music... it was AWESOME!!! They used the playlists we provided them for formalities and filled in any gaps with their own selections that complimented our style. Jason was not only a fantastic DJ, but also a great MC! His set up was very professional looking, he even had music videos playing on the front screen of his booth - a super fun touch. The dancing portion of our reception was a total blast! He nailed our style, we were on the dance floor all night. He was also open to our requests and played so many different styles of music that suited all of our guests. We are all still raving about how much fun we had. If you are looking for a professional, talented, and fun DJ for your next event - HIRE CROWD CONTROL ENTERTAINMENT!

Crowd Control Entertainment team! We were just raving about you guys to each other 😸. Just WOW. Incredibly speechless by how amazing the music was.
Joseph, you went above and beyond to make sure our music styles were integrated into our wedding day. The online portal is a standout feature which kept us organized when picking key songs. But really, everything came together during the check-in call with Joseph.
There were several moments where Zach and I just bursted with joy hearing our favorite songs. You really know how to feel out the vibe of our guests and as you can see everyone literally never stopped dancing!!! Several of our guests (I couldn’t keep count), raved about how great the DJ was. The vibe throughout the whole night was amazing. Joseph even extended the song and waited for people to find Zach until he dropped “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. It’s an extra special song because it was his grandparent’s first dance song. Our guests made a swaying circle around us while we danced (unreal!).
Zach and I are music people and we truly believe that the music made the wedding. You guys are very talented and I hope other couples get to experience the joy that you can bring with your services.
Thank you so much. We will be sure to recommend you guys to friends and family who are looking for a top notch wedding DJ experience.

Perfection!! Jason was the DJ for our wedding at Spencer's in Palm Springs in November 2021, and he was incredible. Their client portal was awesome, and helped make the event go off without a hitch. People were on the dance floor almost 100% of the time from when dinner ended to our last song (about 3 hours!!). 100% recommendation!!!!

Jim this is so great to hear, I have goosebumps reading it. It was such a fun wedding and ...
the very FIRST wedding that requested that there be no "Grand Entrance" which I was secretly nervous about, but it turns out you and Luke need NO introduction; the second you both made two steps into the room the crowd cheered....now that's Crowd Control!

I felt like I was listening to the best version of one of my playlist. I added some recommendations but Jason is the person who made it fun and funky! It was one of those weddings where everyone was talking about how great the music was afterwards. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding in Palm Springs, these are your guys!

Everything sounded great and our crowd had a blast on the dance floor, there was never a dull moment and he knew just how to hype up the crowd! We listened to everything from 80s, 90s, early 2000s as well as cumbias, merengue and salsa. He also provided a cloud effect during our first dance using dry ice which made it look like a fairytale wedding❤️ 10/10

We hired Crowd Control for our wedding at Longshadow Ranch Winery. Jason, Alex, and the team at Crowd Control Entertainment were AMAZING throughout the entire process!! It was incredibly easy working with the team and the conversation with our DJ the week of the wedding eased a lot of our nerves. On the day of the wedding, Alex was so helpful in getting the events of the day started!! Throughout dinner and the dances, Alex played all the music we had asked for and made sure that there were no gaps in the process. I would highly recommend using them for any event!! Thank you to Crowd Control and your team for making this a perfect day for us!!

If you ever have the opportunity to hire Crowd Control for any of your events... do yourself a favor and BOOK THEM!!!! My wedding was about a week ago and my guests are still talking about what a great time they had. They had our back from the beginning! Super organized, zoom calls, quick email responses, very professional--just beautiful people to work with. One of my biggest concerns was that we had my Latino family and his African American family and we needed a bilingual MC so that everyone would feel included. Not only did Aaron himself come, he also brought a Spanish speaking MC, and the diversity of music had EVERYBODY on the dance floor until it was over! My wedding was a dream and Crowd Control played such a big part in this. I look forward to working with them again!

We hired Crowd Control for our wedding in April. Being that we were still under pandemic restrictions I was very worried our guests would not enjoy themselves, but I could not be more wrong. So many people complimented Aaron and said they had a great time. Aaron was able to read the vibe of the party and played the best music all night, with a little something for everyone. He even handled the impromptu Bohemian Rhapsody performance with ease! Leading up to the wedding was very easy. Crowd Control has an online platform that allows you to enter all details and information, as well as request songs or list do not play songs. The whole process was stress free and easy to do throughout the wedding planning process. Aaron also called us a few days before the wedding to clarify ceremony music and ask questions, which we really appreciated. On the day of Aaron was on time and followed all vendor guidelines set by the venue. He also checked in during dinner and I was happy to hear he had talked with some guests who were ready to dance, which I think gave a sense of what was to come. I’ve been telling everyone our wedding was the best time of my life and a huge part of that is thanks to Aaron and Crowd Control!

After receiving a recommendation from our wedding coordinator at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage about Crowd Control Ent., we decided to reach out and we received a quick response back from Aaron. Throughout our entire experience from beginning to end, we received the utmost professional service, attention to detail, and stellar communication. We had Aaron as our wedding DJ and he did an amazing job at reading the crowd and kept the party going the entire time. I don't think the dance floor was ever empty and I haven't danced that hard in a long time! He was also a fabulous MC and kept the wedding events on track and made sure everyone was having fun. We also used Crowd Control's custom last name projection at our reception which added the perfect touch, and we rented their photo booth as well for a few hours. I highly recommend this, as we had so many guests tell us how fun this was for them and the employees working the photo booth were so nice and made sure it went smoothly! We did not have a single problem or issue at all using Crowd Control's services, and are so thankful that we used them for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ and entertainment service for their next event.

This company is amazing!! I won a basket at one of the last bridal EXPO's before Covid happened... I reached out to them as my wedding was rapidly approaching in July 2020. I asked about the coupon I had been given in my basket. It was for a set amount of lights to be given for free IF I used their DJ services.... Now my stepfather is a wedding DJ so I said ok no problem I don't need to use the coupon then... After just one day someone from Crowd Control emailed me back saying 'you know what, were going to help you and give the lights for your wedding anyway'!!!!!!! I was floored! In a world that was falling apart for every bride in 2020, this company came through even when they didn't need to. They dropped off lights day of and picked up next day even! I'm not saying they will do this again, but this company is by far an amazing company with a FANTASTIC work ethic for their customers. If I ever need a DJ again I will for sure be calling these guys again. Thank you for the most epic wedding lights and for going above and beyond for our big day. It was a blessing for sure :)

Three word summary: hire these guys! My wife and I hired Crowd Control Entertainment for our destination wedding taking place at Spenser's Restaurant in Palm Springs. We considered several DJ's listed on YELP and the wedding planning sites, and knew we had found the right DJ after meeting Aaron. We met and interviewed Aaron at length and discussed what we wanted and he listened well and made suggestions too. He immediately inspired confidence with his sound/lighting expertise, his experience in hosting & dj talents, likeability, his professionalism, and knowledge of our venue (Spenser's Restaurant in Palm Springs). For what it is worth, ours was a same-sex wedding and Aaron never blinked an eye at the prospect and he was fun, so helpful, prompt, and professional----even in 2020, one never knows if one needs to look elsewhere to "bake the wedding cake". Aaron and his team were great! Crowd Control's interactive website allows you to access their enormous music library to select various songs you would like played in addition to the talents of the DJ reading the crowd as well. We even had some songs that we asked to pull off of a couple You Tube videos that he incorporated seamlessly. Aaron and his team were great! Our guests are still talking about how fantastic it looked and sounded. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out!
Lastly, we were our own wedding planners and we learned so much about the number of vendors and "moving parts" that go into having a wedding. One of the best compliments we can give Crowd Control Entertainment, beyond just helping us throw a really fun and memorable event, was that every interaction with them was so professional. From our initial meeting through to the end to our wedding, we never had to think twice about them (and Aaron) showing up with their "A" game: they returned calls promptly, showed up for appts on time, were ready to go at each step of the way, including having a wonderful energetic reception party. We'd hire them again in a second for any event we have again in the future!

Crowd Control was referred to us by our venue but I couldn't have picked a better DJ. They were professional and organized during the planning process but kept the party going when it was time. I felt that they did a wonderful job reading the crowd and as a result, our dance floor was packed until the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married or throwing a party.

DJ Crowd Control is simply amazing! Our DJ was so fun and got everyone on the dance floor. Seriously, could you guys host all of my parties forever? It felt like they knew us for years, playing all our favorite music!! Super thankful for Crowd Control, they helped make our day absolutely perfect. If you’re looking for a DJ/Emcee that is professional, timely, talented, and kind.. look no further!

Booked Crowd Control for our wedding in Palm Springs area and they were great! Very professional, a full (easy to use) website for detailing out song requests and instructions, and great at entertaining.
I would definitely recommend their team (we booked for music and photobooth) for any future event

We have attended, and/or been involved in more than 30 weddings between the two of us. The music is always the “make or break” of the evening and Jason from Crowd Control went above and beyond. We gave him minimal guidance, and just basic references and he pulled off the most amazing set we have ever heard during a wedding. Friends and family said it was not only the best wedding they ever attended, but hands down the best DJ they had ever heard. It not only made the evening amazing, it allowed us to enjoy it from start to finish without having to worry about whether or not everyone was enjoying themselves. To put it plainly, he was perfect. If you decide to use a DJ for your wedding, I can say without a doubt you would be completely satisfied with Crowd Control. They are hands down the best.

After attempting to book a date for our wedding we finally were able to get a date to speak to a dj. Not only did he not call to confirm our appointment I had to call and confirm and then he asked me to drive all the way to the riverside location to meet with him. With this being our first time we drove all the way to riverside from Palm Springs to meet with him. When we got there we beet him to the building and had to wait for him. These people are very unprofessional. After our meeting we agreed on a price for just basic dj service for 450. We then get back home after thanks giving and. I have to keep bugging them so that I can pay them. Once I finally got a link to pay it was tripped the price we agreed now. I then emailed him back he then lowered it to 750. Now that’s 300 more then what I walked away thinking it was going to be. And now I can’t get a call or email back. I’m very disappointed in this company as I had high expectations. I’m less then 30 days till my wedding and now I’m screwed out of a DJ. Thanks Crowd Control you guys officially suck!

Michael, thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. This is the very first ti...
me we’ve ever gotten a review like this and we are taking it very seriously. We understand that you are not completely satisfied. Let’s get this fixed.
It was great to meet with you and Samantha in person to go over all the details. The good thing is that we still have a month to go until your wedding and we are completely available and you are on our calendar. You won’t need to worry about not having a great DJ for your special day! The only thing we need is the deposit then we will be good!
We are going to call, email and text you right now to make sure we get you taken care of A.S.A.P.!
-Aaron and Jason

This is the second wedding we used Crowd Control Entertainment for. They were fantastic each time. We also added lighting to the most recent weddding which accentuated the room. From the set-up, to ceremony, dinner, reception, and dance was all great. Dance floor was never empty, DJ rocked the house all night. Thank you Crowd Control Entertainment.

We booked Crowd Control for our wedding, and I must say, they were probably the easiest vendor to work with. These guys are professionals all around. We met once with Jason when we booked, about 1 year before our wedding to go over the general details. Our second meeting was about 3 weeks prior to the wedding date when we met Jason and Mario at a bridal show they were doing to go over the last minute details. Of course we had some special requests for the day of, and they came through with all of them. Professional, efficient, very affordable, and never any pressure to do things "their way" as we experienced with other vendors. Book 'em!
