AMAZING experience with this team. From the moment we booked them, all the way leading up to the wedding, it was a pleasure working with this them. They helped us curate an amazing...
experience for our wedding and our guests. From the sparkler add ons, club lighting, specifically selecting almost all of the songs for our day, and making sure the audio for the ceremony and reception sounded flawless, this is a company I would hire again and again for how painless they made the entire experience. Not a penny was wasted and if you have an opportunity to book this company, you will NOT regret it. 10/10 experience and will book them again if we throw another party for our vow renewals! Thank you so much again Crowd Control team!!
Crowd Control is outstanding! From the first introductory email, to the day of our wedding, we always felt heard and taken care of. I would 100% recommend!
My husband and I are so glad we went with Crowd Control Entertainment for our wedding! The communication was great leading up to the wedding so we knew everything was handled. Alex...
was our Dj and he was awesome! We gave playlists and talked about what kind of vibes we wanted for our cocktail hour and for the reception and he nailed it. Our timeline got changed on the fly due to outside circumstances and Alex was flexible and kept us on track with our revised timeline. He was kind and upbeat and kept people on the dance floor the whole time!! He took song requests from our guests as well. We were very happy and glad we went with the Crowd Control team. 10/10 recommend!!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with DJ Aaron C and the entire team! Aaron was our wedding DJ, and he absolutely nailed it from start to finish. The lighting, set-up, an...
d vibe were just how we imagined it! He brought the perfect energy, kept the timeline flowing smoothly, and read the room better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Every transition was seamless, every announcement was spot-on, and the dance floor was packed the entire night. They all were genuinely invested in making sure our day was perfect by communicating and planning with us. Our guests were raving about the music all night, and we felt completely taken care of.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding and make it unforgettable, Aaron and his team are the ones. Truly a 10/10 experience. We’re so grateful they were part of our day!
Crowd Controls exceeded all expectations for our wedding. From our initial call, we knew we were in the right hands. They understood what we were looking for and immediately made u...
s feel like we were going to be in good hands. They were very communicative, lad a great portal for us to fill out timelines, song requests and everything wedding. We even had our wedding on Zoom for friends and family that couldn't join us in person. Crowd Control set up the camera, put microphones on lapels and handhelds that directly linked into Zoom. It was a standout service. The music was exactly right, from little direction from us. DJ Seph called in advance to get our vibe and knocked it out of the park day of. We couldn't be more grateful to Crowd Control.
What a great, comfortable, smooth experience it was working with Crowd Control! This review will not do them justice as it's hard to explain how efficient and communicative they we...
re throughout the entire five months of working with them to produce the music, lights, and sound for our wedding.
Genesis is over the top efficient and Aaron and his crew were precise and professional. Our guests were so pleased with every aspect of their work.
Highly Highly recommend!
Crowd Control Entertainment did such an amazing job at our wedding last month! They use a platform where you can upload all the music you want played at your event (there is even a...
section for music you definitely DON’T want played lol). The platform makes it so easy to communicate & organize which music you want playing at certain times, like for us we wanted more slow love songs at our cocktail hour and dinner, but at dancing time we wanted more lively music. ALEX, our DJ for the evening, was so great at reading the crowd and giving us exactly what the moments called for. Would highly recommend Crowd Control for your next event!
We used Crowd Control for our recent wedding. We were extremely satisfied with them and with our DJ/MC, Alex. Alex was very detail-oriented, knew the right questions to ask, and ha...
d good suggestions. He is also a very pleasant person. We enjoyed working with him before and during our event. He aims to please and he certainly accomplished that!
Crowd Control was incredible! We used them for our wedding at The Saguaro. They made the process super easy. We filled out the online forms to supply our favorite songs. The online...
process and consultation call with our DJ helped us plan for our event. In addition to great music, Crowd Control also did the lightning and our photo booth. Our guests really enjoyed the booth, and it was a hit! We loved our experience with them, and we would highly recommend them to other couples. If we ever throw another large party, we would absolutely go with Crowd Control.
Crowd Control Entertainment made our daughter's reception amazing!!! They were on top of everything, from microphones for the toasts and the wedding officiant to the non-stop music...
and fun!! The dance floor was full all night! Thank you for making our daughter's wedding so much fun!
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 weddin...
g. 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 Fr...
iday 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 ab...
le 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!
AMAZING!!! I cannot recommend Jason and his team enough. Definitely set the right mood all evening and had everyone dancing! Wish our wedding reception could've lasted even longer...
.
Very responsive and very helpful when it comes to getting your music choices together for your big day.
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 wa...
nted 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 d...
o 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 fa...
ntastic 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.
We were so thrilled with the services provided! Aaron brought the energy, expertise, and intuitive song selection to our ceremony and reception. He kept everyone dancing and was ti...
mely in communication, planning and final steps leading up to our big day! I would highly recommend crowd control for your wedding or any event that would be elevated with DJ services!
Song selection on point. He is so professional, and I will hire for all future events!
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!!
HIRE CROWD CONTROL..they won’t disappoint. The team at Crowd Control was fantastic to work with especially Jason. He was so helpful in planning and so responsive to all our calls ...
and emails! Crowd control as a team was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. Customer service was on point!!!
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 particu...
lar 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 underst...
atement. 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 was our DJ and he did an awesome job at our wedding. He understood the vibe of the crowd and went with it. He met all of our requests and definitely made our wedding unforget...
table. 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 no...
tice! 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 prio...
r 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 fo...
r 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 an...
d 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 friendli...
ness 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 bey...
ond 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.

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

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!!

ph needs a raise! This guy was so amazing! I heard at least three times that this was the best wedding DJ that they’ve heard!!! I would 100% recommended them for any special event! They do not disappoint!!! They Have a wonderful online planning platform so all your details of the special day are highlighted and exactly the way you want! Loved having crowd control apart of mine and my husbands special day!
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 talki...
ng 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!
