I hired James aka DJ Big Cali for my 80 person wedding in Sonoma at MacArthur Place a few weekends ago and he GREATLY exceeded our expectations!
James loves what he does, and his passion for his job feeds into the energy of the guests, which c...
reated such a great vibe and fun time on our special day. Afterwards, so many of our friends and guests commented about how amazing our DJ was. We felt we got really lucky to hire him.
James is really well organized, and helps his clients by giving them an easy to use app which helps build out a timeline for their event. While my fiance and I had a good idea of the genres and vibe we wanted, we also gave James free rein to play music he thought our crowd would like, and they loved it.
James also did a great job as an MC during our reception which was super helpful in making sure everything went smoothly while hyping up our guests at the same time. I highly recommend hiring James if you can, he knocked it out of the park.
James DJ'd our wedding at Great American Music Hall and absolutely crushed it! He kept the party moving on the mic and did a two and a half hour dance mix that was just non-stop. It was everything we could have hoped for. We even had many of ou...
r guests ask where we found him! DJ Big Cali is so awesome!

t in making sure we had an amazing event catered to our specific crowd. He had a nice clean Dj booth setup with lights which helped add to the ambiance of our event, and he also helped host our event by keeping the program moving along. We honestly can't say enough good things about him. We had several guest come up to us after the wedding and rave about how on-point and amazing our Dj was! Having him as our Dj definitely made a big difference in the outcome of our wedding! We had a great time dancing until we were tired! I would no doubt use Dj BigCali again for any future events we have, we highly recommend him!!

Thank you David! Your wedding was a dream! Everyone was so fun!
Where do we start?! DJ Big Cali by far exceeded expectations! We had a tough wedding with a mix of Indian music, Mexican music, EDM, old school rap, todays hits, etc. and DJ if Cali absolutely rocked it with the mixes. I've been to many wedding...
s and I've never seen the dance floor so hyped and full the entire time! He was very responsive leading up to our special day and brought the energy we wanted the entire time! He did so well with requests as well from guests. I've been to weddings where the DJ will brush off requests from guests but everyone got what they wanted. I'm still getting texts about how much we killed it at our wedding. Wouldn't want anyone else doing our wedding. Thank you so much!!
My husband and I got married on April 10, 2023 at the Brazilian Room at Tilden Park in Berkeley, CA. DJ Big Cali (James) was our DJ and he literally MADE our wedding! Even the bartender said it was the most lit Monday wedding he'd ever been to ...
- and we definitely have to attribute that to James and the music.
Leading up to the big day, James was super professional and provided us with a planner app to track our timeline and songs for each part of the day, as well as track the minor details like names and pronunciations. A week before the date, we had a final meeting to review the timeline and discuss any outstanding questions, then he took it from there!
James was really great and understood the vibe of what we wanted for our big day. We really appreciate him making our special day even more special. If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding - PICK JAMES!
DJ Big Cali was a fantastic MC and DJ. He actually signed on with us when our other MC/DJ had to drop out very close to our wedding date. He took things over really easily, and made the whole process really fun. On the day of the wedding, he pl...
ayed all the right songs, at the perfect time, without a hitch, for everything from our wedding ceremony, to our cocktail hour, to open dancing, where he made the party happen! Would recommend him in a heartbeat.
I don’t even know where to begin. Dj Big Cali has been my go to referral dj for all of my friends, co workers, family. This guy has such a wide range of music. Different cultures, settings, age. His energy and easy communication is what sets hi...
m apart from other dj’s. I highly recommend him to my peers knowing he will make me look good solely off his quality of work. I can’t say enough about how many people have told me how happy they were to roll with DJ Big Cali and that they have already referred him to other family and friends. Don’t think twice. Book this guy.
Our wedding was pure perfection and Dj Big Cali was a huge part in its success. Prior to the wedding day Big Cali took time out of his weekend to attend a sit visit scoping the seen for the big day. During the visit Big James took notes and eve...
n gave suggestions on up lighting colors that would compliment the venue. After the walkthrough he schedule a time to talk about songs and even scheduled a separate call so that I could tell him my entrance song as I wanted to keep it a surprise. On the day of the wedding Big Cali arrived early for set up and had the crowd dancing before dinner even began. He kept the dance floor packed all night. If you are looking for a Dj look no further!

Thank you Alysa! Your wedding was so amazing! The energy that night was on level 10!
DJ Cali was extremely professional. He held my wedding down. He has these amazing packages that comes with your choice of up lighting, walking on clouds, a monogram, mics, and master of ceremonies to name a few. Everything you will need to have...
a great event. Everyone was dancing and he played all the hits plus my recommendations. He has an app that allows the couple to add all of their music choices for each segment of the wedding (ceremony, reception, first dance, bridal party entrance etc..). This made it the song selection process so much easier and organized. I was also able to print my selections directly from the app to give to my wedding coordinator. I highly recommend Cali if you want a professional and high quality DJ.

HIRE HIM!! Best DJ in the Bay Area. My sister hired him for my graduation a few years ago and he knew exactly the music to play. I recently got married and I knew I needed to hire him. James ...
is very punctual and works with you through every step of the way. We used an app to select music to play and it helped me create my wedding Itinerary. On the app you can also invite people to help add songs to Playlist which was a huge help. He stays on top of time and keeps the party going all night long!
Also, add the uplighting for your event, you won't regret it. Any future
