Matt absolutely killed it at our wedding! As a DJ & MC, he really knows what he’s doing. My fiance and I were in the market for a DJ who knew how to mix all types of music (primarily hip hop and edm though) and after we saw his videos on YouTube, we knew he was the guy. We supplied him with different sets of songs for cocktail hour, reception & open dancing and he knew exactly what to do with them! The whole time throughout the wedding, everyone was vibing and having a great time. When open dancing hit though, Dj Solstice popped off and had everyone dancing! Aunts and uncles included! I highly recommend Dj Solstice for your event or wedding!! 10/10!!
OMG THIS DJ!!!!!!! There are not any compared to this one. Matt totally met all those pin pints and made our wedding day come to complete life! Our guests were totally feeling it and so were we. Thank you so so so much Matt! All the lights and music levels and base drops were just AHHHHH speechless!!!!!! Speechless!!!!!! This guy also put together a dope schedule for the timeline as it was so so organized as well for the foam batons too. THANK YOU MATTY you were the reason behind a badass wedding!!!!!
DJ Solstice and his team was amazing! He was great at communication and was patient with us. He listened to our wants and the lighting was awesome. We were glad to have them! 10/10 recommend!
Any questions?
Dj Solstice was the best Dj we could have asked for at our wedding. He always responded quickly to all our messages during the planning & was super on top of everything. The music was amazing & the dance floor was packed THE WHOLE NIGHT! We also got so many compliments on the mixes and different styles he played. 10/10 recommend for an absolutely amazing party.
Matt was fantastic at our wedding! They kept the dance floor packed all night with a perfect mix of songs. Professional, attentive, and fun – Matt truly made our day special. Highly recommend!
We hired Matt to DJ/MC our wedding & he was just so great! From the very beginning he was easy to talk to & understood the vibe we were going for. A lot of other DJs didn’t have sample mixes to listen to so I love that he did & it’s what won us over! Day of he was great! We got behind on the timeline but he kept everything going smooth & played every single vibe we wanted! Thank you Matt!! Highly recommend!
One non-negotiable for our wedding: having DJ Solstice as our DJ. We even chose our wedding date based off his availability!
Matt really understood the vibe we were going for which was alllllllll over the place lol (Hannah Montana, E40, One Direction, Morgan Wallen, David Guetta, NOTD, Cheat Codes, Gryffin, Backstreet Boys and so much more).
He is so easy to work with and is very responsive. He is also sooo hype and really knows how to work the crowd.
Our friends were talking about how lit, hype, and fun our DJ was. Felt like we were at a music festival. Many of them asked for the playlist!
Highly recommend booking DJ Solstice for your wedding or next event! You will not regret it!
DJ solstice and his team were amazing!! We had the privilege of having Carlos as our actual DJ (since we requested bilingual) while DJ solstice facilitated everything leading up to our wedding. We utilized their photo booth and audio guest book, CO2 gun, cold sparklers, and LED foam sticks, all of which were huge hits at our wedding. All were so easy to use and the turn around time for photos and audio guest book messages was so quick! The dance floor was jam packed the entire night, and our friends and family will not stop raving about the dance floor/ music.
DJ solstice also helped me put together a father/ daughter music mash up, which was also such a hit at our wedding!
Overall, 10/10 recommend DJ solstice and his amazing team, book them for your event!
I do not have the words to express how incredible DJ Solstice was! I would give him 10 stars if I could. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! His set was absolutely incredible and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. He seamlessly blended songs, keeping the energy high and the mood just right. From the first dance to the last song of the night, Matt knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the party going. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had, and it's all thanks to Matt! I will 100% be hiring DJ Solstice for all my future events, I will recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much for making our wedding so amazing!!
I cannot even put into words how amazing the music at my wedding was. I’ve never had so much fun just dancing with all my friends and family. DJ Solstice hands down was the perfect DJ for our wedding. There wasn’t a single moment the whole wedding there wasn’t someone on the dance floor. He played the perfect songs and made all my special requests happen. It was banger after banger, I truly didn’t not sit down the whole night. I cannot recommend enough!
We hired DJ Solstice for our wedding in April 2024 and it was one of the best decisions we made! As big EDM fans we really wanted to have lasers, great lighting and CO2 effects and he delivered above and beyond. If it’s in budget, I’d def really recommend the ultimate package. The extra effects, especially the handheld CO2 cannon, were hits! We also love hip hop and Solstice did a great job of mixing EDM and hip hop with a sprinkle of oldies and kpop to cover all our guests wants. Some guests even asked for the playlist after which Solstice was kind enough to quickly provide. His setup looked great in all white and his speakers bumped. If you can fit his set up next to the dance floor it’s really worth it. His photobooth turned out awesome too. And the CO2 cloud he created for our first dance was huge, it was awesome! Lastly, he was great communicating with us throughout the whole stressful wedding process. He even jumped on a call with us about power supply needs last minute that really helped us out. No hesitations, 11/10 recommend!
Matt is absolutely amazing! He made our wedding perfect and people could not stop talking about how great he was. I'd give him a million stars if I could. I want to throw another event just to hire him again. If you want people dancing all night you need him for your event. I also had the Photo Booth and he had the funniest props and had everyone lining up to take pictures. 100% the best dj I've seen for events and so glad to have had him and his team. Thank you Matt for bringing the energy I wanted.
We can't recommend DJ Solstice and his team enough! From the very beginning, they were responsive, easy to work with, and happy to accommodate all our requests. They took the time to understand our musical tastes and vision. Donny did a phenomenal job at our wedding. He read the crowd well and kept the dance floor packed despite the rain. Donny received a bunch of compliments from our friends and family!
From the moment we began planning our wedding, we knew that the music and MC would be an integral part of our celebration. After an extensive search, we were fortunate enough to find DJ Solstice, who came highly recommended. And let me tell you, he did not disappoint!
From our first meeting, Matt was incredibly attentive and eager to understand our musical tastes and the vibe we were aiming for. He was professional, personable, and showed genuine enthusiasm for making our day special. He even made suggestions based on the research he did from our wedding website.
On the big day, Matt was nothing short of spectacular. He arrived extra early to set up and ensure everything was perfect, including a sound check to ensure the sound quality was impeccable.
But what truly set him apart was his ability to read the room and keep the energy high throughout the night. His music selection was spot-on, blending our personal favorites with classic hits and unexpected gems that kept the dance floor packed. He seamlessly transitioned between genres and eras, ensuring that guests of all ages felt included and had a blast. Moreover, the MC’ing was top-notch. He had a great sense of timing, knew exactly when to amp up the crowd, and when to let the music speak for itself. His interactions were always tasteful and added a personal touch that many of our guests complimented.
We've received endless praise about our wedding, and a significant portion of that praise is due to Matt’s outstanding performance. He didn't just play music; he created an atmosphere that was electrifying, joyful, and utterly unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who is passionate, talented, and genuinely cares about making your event memorable, look no further than DJ Solstice. He was the heartbeat of our celebration, and we're so grateful to have had him as a part of our special day. THANK YOU!!!! for making our wedding not just a party, but a celebration that will be cherished forever!
got married on 2/24/24 in Temecula and had Matt provide the photobooth floral wall for my wedding.
I met Matt at the bridal expo in Orange County and he was so kind, professional, eager to work with and had an amazing presentation of equipment. The best presentation for both DJ and photobooth services out of all the vendors that were present that day. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for the quality work provided and the service provided from the initial moment I contacted him. Being a bride, having a vendor who is very responsive and excited to work with the vision you have e for your day takes an immense amount of stress off my shoulders.
Prior to the wedding my husband, me and Matt spoke on the phone and outlined what we wanted for our wedding. Matt was so friendly, flexible and so incredibly easy to work with. He listened to our likes and provided us with the exact vision we discussed.
On the actual wedding day, Matt and his team arrived early! (Huge plus and less stress for me). The set up was just stunning! He set up the flower wall photobooth before heading out to work at another event. The 2 attendants that were working our event were so kind, professional, attentive to my guests and had a perfection presentation of props.
My venue already provided a DJ, if they didn't, without a doubt I would have also hired Matt to be my DJ! This guy has a passion for what he does. Honestly I felt like he took it upon himself to treat my wedding as if it was his own. This is your guy, please please book him! He is worth every dollar and all your guests will rave about his work!
PS - I love the color pink which were also my wedding colors. See attached flower wall that I had for my wedding!
Matt and staff, thank you all for being such a pleasure to work with !!
- Your 2/24/24 Temecula Bride :)
As huge music fans (my now husband and I are both ravers/concert lovers)with music taste that spans anywhere to emo/pop punk and all the many subgenres of EDM we were very picky with who would be our dj. I am so happy to say Dj Solstice did not disappoint.
Communication before and up to the day of the wedding was very straightforward and professional. His set up from the lights, booth and mixing equipment is all professional grade and all top of the line with the acoustics of the venue in mind. He even made a magical moment happen by playing a song by our favorite dj at such a perfect moment. Even towards the end of the night when most of the older crowd left Dj Solstice still kept the energy going and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor.
Dj Solstice knows how to cater to the crowd but still keep your preferences in mind. Many guests who have never been exposed to our music taste was begging for the playlist post wedding. I am just waiting for an excuse to book him again for my next event !
I recently had a wedding and Matt was our DJ. I received so many amazing feedback from my guests the morning after. My guests could not stay off the dance floor because that's how amazing Matt was. He will give you your dream wedding vibes. He is very organized, super professional, and such a GOOD DJ (I would pay to see him play again lol). He's so easy to work with too.
We booked him for DJ, uplightings, cold sparklers, smoke gun, monogram logo etc... Thank you Matt for making our wedding so FUN and so memorable. It was the night we will never forget. My guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had. We appreciate you!!!!
Matt provided a big beautiful cloud for us to dance on, with firesparks. Beautiful effects and my dream first dance. A projection with our initials on the wall and it animated - loved it thank you!
Solstice is the mannnn. As a fellow DJ myself, I wanted someone I could trust to deliver a high-energy banger dance party, with music from EDM to Spanish. Obviously I know what other DJs bring to the table and knew this guy was who I wanted. He crushed it. Even let me hop on the decks and throw a set while he handled the MC and lighting to complement it. Photobooth was dope too.
He was our MC/DJ, provided the photo booth, up lighting, and our neon sign. He provides WAY more, but our venue had restrictions and we could not utilize everything. This DJ really wants you and your guests to have a good time, and will go above and beyond to do so. Matt absolutely met every expectation and you can tell me loves his job.
Now this next part is a HUGE example of a great DJ, and a terrible DJ, and why you want the great DJ...
The Bad DJ-
We went to a friend's wedding the week after our wedding, DJ'ed by someone else, and this DJ did not listen to my friend's requests at all! They provided him songs to play and he did not play even half of them. They love Frank Sinatra and had a few of his songs on the list. Their DJ played all the Sinatra songs back to back.. They did not know he would just press play and walk away and flirt with the coordinator the whole time. Second, they stated no song requests from guests, yet when guests walked up, he would play it! Later on we realized that we heard some of the same songs 2-3 times.
The Great DJ (a.k.a) DJ Solstice-
My Husband and I have a broad taste in music. We love Oldies, R&B, Rap, Club, Hip Hop, Alternative, Banda, Cumbia, Reggaeton, etc. And I was a very involved bride and made a playlist for each event and had every song picked for every moment, all very different. I sent DJ solstice all these playlists and he played every song we requested, and did it well. He abided by our must and do not playlists. His transitions were literally perfect. I've never been to a wedding and heard something like that before. Even with our broad taste in music, he was able to make everything flow so well. My husband loved it so much that he asked him if he could have the set list, which he did give us haha! Every song we requested for the ceremony, recessional, entrances, cake cutting, dances, last song, every request was fulfilled and on time. I danced with both of my dads and mother, and he was so accommodating to play each song just long enough as to not have the guests get bored with 3 different dances. Also, there was a particular Mexican line dance told him was a must and that he could not play it without me. When he decided it was right to play the song, he made sure to call the Bride over the mic so I didn't miss it! He would not let the song officially start until I go to the dance floor! Ugh we just loved Matt! The lighting elevated everything! It was in sync with the music perfectly and the colors were so vivid. We got our photobooth photos the next day! A month or so after the wedding our link expired and I was not able to download them, but Matt was very accommodating and resent the link to me. The photobooth was great and the photos came out bright and clear! My husband is 6'1 and hates having to crouch for photos, but the booth was adjustable and made it so easy for taller guests and big groups! You get to pick your own template and text. And for the neon sign you get to pick the type of lighting, and color, and comes with a mount and a remote for when you take it home.
We had multiple guests come to us at different times during the night to say their goodbye's, but then 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour later, we would still see them on the dance floor! I walked up to them and asked "I thought you were leaving?" Their response: "We couldn't leave, these songs are too good."
Thank you again for everything Matt, and for being a part of making our day perfect.
DJ Solstice set up early, and kept the party rolling. He did our ceremony with excellent music. Then the dance party was off the chain. He did karaoke then some dancing songs, old school. We got the cold spark machine for pyrotechnics. It was awesome. He stayed throughout the 5-hour event and kept the party rolling all night long. We added on a photo booth which I highly recommend. We took 254 photos and everybody said whatever price you paid it, was worth it. Very funny photo collection. Plus Matt from DJ Solstice gave us a thumb drive with all 254 pictures on it in full format, The photo booth machine takes three pictures at a time and spits out a personalized photo strip for each person that takes a photo. I highly recommend Matt and DJ Solstice. He made our wedding very memorable.
There are truly not enough words to express the amount of love and gratitude we feel for Matt and his team. My husband and I got married a few weeks ago and we are still on cloud 9 from our wedding day. Matt truly overdelivered in more ways than we could have ever imagined. The cold sparklers, to his epic sound system and lighting setup, to the incredible dance floor vibes are why we never left the dance floor at our wedding. We also booked his photobooth service and absolutely loved it! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how incredible the night was. 1000/10 recommend DJ Solstice if you are looking for top tier service and want to have an extremely memorable event - you will not regret It!
We hired Matt for our wedding and he was incredible. If you are thinking about booking a DJ for your wedding/event you should book him.
He was incredibly communicative throughout the wedding planning process. On the wedding day, he showed up early to set up the sound systems for the ceremony and the ceremony musicians. His playlist for the dinner was perfect for setting the mood and then he REALLY got the party going after dinner. He played all of our 'must-plays' and weaved together songs that would appeal to all demographics and both family's cultures (American & Mexican). Our dance floor was completely packed the entire night and so many of our other vendors commented that it was the most energy they have ever seen on a dance floor. He was so professional and made the evening a night everyone will remember for years to come. I highly highly recommend him!
I found Dj Solstice at a premier bridal expo last year. What sold me on booking with them for our wedding was two things:
1. they had the best quality of Photo Booth prints when I compared their Photo Booth prints with the other 4 photo booths at that bride expo.
This was important to us since the photo book prints were our party favors, and we weren't giving out any other type of favor at our wedding.
The Photo Booth also included digital copies to be texted to our guests, and the quality of the digital photos were outstanding.
***Bonus: all digital copies were given to my husband and on a flash drive at the end of the night.
2. The dj had a great presentation at the bride expo with slideshows of previous weddings and all the ways and things that they do to make weddings so fun! They have special effects with their packages such as sparklers, fog effects and a smoke gun to smoke show the dance floor.
The night of our wedding went so flawlessly. the sparklers that went off when we had our grand entrance, and when we had our first dance enhanced our experience. We forgot about the fog/smoke gun and were just as surprised as our guests when we got to use it on the dance floor. It was absolutely incredible and the music was fantastic!
Every guest raved about our dj and music playlist. The dj went above and beyond to deliver a great evening for us and we wouldn't have changed a thing about our music and dance floor experience.
Thank you Matt for such a wonderful night and for being the best DJ we could ask for. I am so glad I went to that bride expo and met you that day.
Our wedding was like a dream, thanks in large part to DJ Solstice! Met at a wedding show, discussed our wants, and he put together a packaged deal that would deliver on all fronts. He was quick to communicate with and easy to work with, which is saying a lot because we had a bunch of small details and traditions we wanted to incorporate into the night. I also had a very unique vision with lighting and setup inside the barn for our reception, and let me tell you - I walked in and it was PERFECT! The lighting, photobooth, and execution.
In terms of music, we had a very long list of songs we wanted and he mixed it perfectly all night. Truly grateful we found him. Thanks Matt!
We had DJ SOlstice as our DJ & MC for our beachside venue wedding. As there was a band who would primarily be playing for the dancing part, we didn't think much of the DJ's role. However, he truly created an energetic and lively environment when the band played with his great lighting setup. It looked like a freakin' concert in there. He was also great on the mic with introductions and keeping events moving throughout the night. He's got our stamp of approval ✓
We hired DJ Solstice based off seeing him at another wedding. Ours was a bit more challenging as my family is all French-speaking and thus wanted a ton of their music played. Matt Solstice stepped up and delivered! He mixed in classics, our English requests, and a wide variety of French music that my family loved and danced to all all night.
His audio guestbook was also a great addition and we have these messages from our guests to cherish for years to come. Highly recommend
Such a blast! We had the pleasure of having Matt (DJ Solstice) for our wedding at Ole Hanson. Our music taste is eclectic to say the least. Matt did an excellent job listening to our feedback, capturing the spirit of our favorite music, and then blending it with what we can only describe as an Epic wedding arrangement that kept everyone on the dance floor. All of our guests are still commenting on how "great the dj was" and we concur. World class! Book them now.
After being so nervous to find the perfect DJ for our wedding we were so lucky to have found Matt! He listened to our requests and created the best set list for our wedding! Our dance floor remained full until the very last song and no one wanted the party to stop! We highly recommend booking him if you want to have the best event!
DJ Solstice, “ The solstice (combining the Latin words sol for “Sun” and sistere for “To Stand Still”). You definitely live up to your name! He definitely made the event a lifetime to talk about! Time stood still for us that day & everything was beautiful 🤩. Thank you for making the party & bringing the dance floor alive!
What is not to love about Matt. I to met him at a Bridal show last October and I am so happy that I did. Matt is so easy to talk to, very personable, easy-going, and professional to work with. My now-husband and I shared great conversation with Matt to share the vision of what we wanted at our wedding. One professional thing that I really enjoyed about Matt, was the fact of how quickly he would respond to any question I had regarding the package we selected, the variety of backdrops provided, and the selection of neon sign font and color. He really takes pride in his work, and ultimately wants the best for your wedding. Another thing I enjoyed was that he arrives on time to your venue and honestly creates a work-of-art for your photos. My husband and I selected the green and white floral wall with the beautiful neon pink sign hung above that reads "The DeGrees." The Photo Booth was a major hit at my wedding and the take-home photo-strips were high quality. The best part is that Matt provides a flash drive of all the photos taken by your guests. My husband and I enjoyed going thru each photo and re-living the best night of our life. I highly recommend using DJ Solstice as your go-to man for an epic time!
They did such an amazing job at our recent wedding! We had found them through another wedding we attended, and they made the atmosphere fun and effortless! We had MULTIPLE people come up to us during the wedding reception, mentioning how they loved the music. Set up and breakdown was seamless and they were professional on all levels throughout the evening. 10/10 would recommend DJ solstice and his team! You won't regret it.
DJ Solstice was amazing! We immediatley booked him for our wedding, and he did above and beyond for our wedding. He communicated with us any updates and made planning so easy, our wedding guests cant stop raving about the enviroment he created at our wedding! And the CO2 gun is a must for anyone who is on the fence about it!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED having Matt (DJ Solstice) play at our wedding!! He was so awesome to work with during the planning process, answering any and all questions we had promptly and professionally. I mean, what other vendor can you text at all hours and they respond right away?
Matt kept the energy high throughout the reception, which was a huge task considering it was 100 degrees with limited shade. However, once we got to dancing he turned it up again and it was one INSANE dance party! I got so many compliments on the dance floor about how fun DJ Solstice was. One comment shouted over the music to me was my bridesmaids saying "YOUR WEDDING IS LIKE A CLUB" which is exactly what we wanted! I wanted the energy to be crazy on the dance floor and Matt truly delivered. The dance floor was packed all night, and guests of all ages - even my grandfather-in-law - were out there getting down.
I 1000% recommend hiring DJ Solstice for your DJ, he's truly the best! The pictures speak for themselves, and he even captured content for us to share. Thank you so much for everything!
DJ Solstice was the perfect pick for our wedding. We met Matt at a Wedding Expo and he was very personable and knowledgeable about servicing weddings. He had an awesome set up that was visually appealing and great packaging options for events. He was also highly recommended on The Knot. DJ Solstice provides more than just music - he provided us with different lighting options, sparklers, and a custom LED sign with our last name which really set the environment and our wedding turned out beautiful! Matt was very responsive during the planning process. He was prompt and accommodating on any requests that we had for his service. He was a great MC for the night and kept a solid schedule of events following what our coordinator had sent to our vendors. The sparklers and CO2 guns were such a wonderful added touch - my husband and I were very happy with them. The guests LOVED the interactive touches to the night! We sent playlists/song requests to Matt which he played and added in his own mix and that worked out great! Matt nailed our Grand Entrance for the lighting, music, and vibe - he pumped up the crowd! The dance floor was full of guests dancing the entire night - we had a blast! He knows how to read the crowd and set the energy for a fun time. Overall, we can’t say enough great things about how well he executed everything. We highly encourage you to book DJ Solstice, you won’t be disappointed!! He’s the best! - Tara and Casey
My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ than DJ Solstice. He flawlessly read the crowd and mixed English and Spanish music, creating an awesome atmosphere that kept everyone dancing. His seamless transitions and high energy were amazing. Professional and talented, he made our wedding truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Hiring Matt & his dream team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He curated each moment perfectly- and the evening moved from romantic cocktail hour vibes, to jazzy dinner and then really brought the party! We got so many compliments about how FUN our wedding was and about how great the playlist and DJ were. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a professional that completely understands your unique tastes and listens to your requests. Lots of hip hop and Armenian music were requested and he executed perfectly!
Thank you so much Matt!
Matt (DJ Soltice) was referred to me by a work colleague who used him for her wedding - which was amazing let me just say. I had high hopes, and he delivered on all of them, if not above and beyond! The planning process was so easy with his templated emails and Spotify playlists we could provide for music inspiration of the night. The day of, everything went flawlessly, including our specially timed sparkler entrance to the beat of the song. Dance floor was full all night and he played all our requests, adding in a ton of great jams in-between. Friends were raving about how great the DJ was, and we couldn't agree more. Will definitly be booking him again!
Our reception was WILD thanks to this guy. Incredible DJ, turned our venue into a mini EDC, which is exactly what we wanted. 11/10
He made our wedding LIT - literally! Sparklers surrounding us for our first dance and grand enetrance, creating truly incredible photos. Music was everything we hoped for and more, with stuff for our families, friends, and of course myself and fiance. It was all mixed smoothly and the reception flowed with no issues or awkward moments/pauses. White setup and decor to match. Thank you matt, truly.
Matt was an excellent DJ with a professional service. Flower cannons when we kissed, sparkler fireworks when we entered, great music, fun photo booth. Everything we had hoped for and more.
What a smoking hot deal! Matt brought the bangers and the club vibe we were hoping for! My husband and I woke up the morning after our wedding with THE MOST compliments about DJ Solstice and his incredible talent! Ge brought the bangers, MC-ed in the perfect way to herd cats, and keeping the party going. It was EXACTLY what we were hoping for and tailored to the crowd perfectly. He got people going for so long we had to kick out everyone at the end because no one wanted to leave. Literally the best DJ ever.
Don’t skip out of the CO2 cannons because it was a huge hit!
Incredible!!
When I say he rocked it, I mean he ROCKED it. Our wedding was unforgettable thanks to DJ Solstice - perfect selection of music for us and our family and friends, including Afrobeats jams. Went above and beyond to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. Thank you again.
DJ Solstice puts on an absolutely epic show. I’m picky with music, and I never wanted to leave the dance floor. He exceeded expectations by a long shot, and we had more than a few guests at the wedding wanting him to book him for theirs!!! Book him, you won’t regret it!
Matt, beyond CRUSHED keeping the dancing vibes all night! We had a unique mix of Latin, R&B, country with a sprinkle of funk and people kept telling us how great the DJ was, with not only the music but the setup as well. The dance floor was never empty, couldn’t recommend Matt enough!
Had such an amazing time, DJ Solstice always matched the ambiance perfectly and definitely brought the vibes all together. Loved the way he was able to stick to our preferred music while also tying in his own style. Definitely got the party going and kept it going all night! Thanks again, we had an amazing time. :)
Stop looking for your DJ immediately.. Matt is the ONLY option!! Such a rad guy and was the best DJ we could’ve asked for! You need him at your wedding!
DJ Solstice helped make our wedding the energetic dance party we were looking for. We had a blast and the whole crowd was on the dance floor all night long. Seriously. Our guests kept coming up to us, telling us it was the best wedding dance floor they have ever seen and we are still getting texts weeks after about how awesome our DJ was! We also got the Photo Booth through DJ Solstice and our guests had so much fun with all the props he brought. Pictures came out fire too. Couldn't be happier with our choice to hire DJ Solstice for our wedding!!
We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Solstice for your upcoming wedding! His mixes are absolutely incredible and the dance floor was packed the entire reception. A solid playlist of tunes and a premium guest experience was high on our priority list of things we wanted at our wedding and DJ Solstice delivered.
From his lights that are synced with the music (felt like we were in Vegas in the BEST way) to the premium photo booth with a custom neon sign featuring our new last name (that we got to keep!), DJ Solstice helped make our event everything we wished for an more. We had so many friends and family say it was the best music they've heard at any wedding and we couldn't agree more.
We found DJ Solstice at the bridal expo and the energy he brought already had me wanting to book him. He was so accommodating to all our our special requests for both the ceremony and reception. He worked well with our violinist for the ceremony to make sure we had all the proper equipment. During the reception he really catered to all of our requests and really understood what kind of party we wanted. He had our guests vibing to music during dinner service and got them so excited to open the dance floor. He blended 90s-2000s hip hop and rap with Bollywood music that had our guests going crazy! Our dance floor was PACKED through the night. We had roughly 220 guests and they had to rearrange some tables to accommodate all of the guests who wanted to join in on the fun.
So solstice was absolutely amazing! The music selection was outstanding! He had all my friends & family out on the dance floor! Highly recommend!
Matt was amazing! We cannot thank him enough for DJing our wedding. We sent him a Spotify list with songs and genres to go off of, and he nailed it. We had little programming because we wanted the night to be a giant dance party for us and all our guests. The dance floor was never empty and the song transitions were seamless. We absolutely know we picked the best person for us and our wedding. You can tell Matt absolutely loves what he does and has so much passion, making it easy to trust him. You can tell hes having a blast because he dances in his booth the whole time which is just so fun. If you don't follow him on Instagram yet, you should. His stories and posts kept excited leading up to our day, and he posted footage from our wedding that he took with his 360 camera the day after, which just kept the party going for us. He really made our night spectacular for every single person in the room.
PS - Get the Sparklers! Our guests were just blown away and the photos and videos were next level. He had them going multiple times throughout the night. Really. Get them!

Hey Kari! Thank you so much for the amazing review. I absolutely LOVE what I do and I'm glad you could see that through the dancing haha! The sparklers are always a hit and I'm happy we were able to use them and provide an epic experience.
We learned about Matt (DJ Solstice) when we went to the California Bridal & Wedding Expo last September 2022. From the moment we started inquiring about their services up until the actual wedding day, Matt has been very accommodating/considerate of our needs and very easy/flexible to communicate with. The actual DJ services, tube lights, uplighting, neon sign, animated monogram and fog machine etc. used during the reception were spot on and elevated the whole look/ambiance of the banquet hall. DJ Solstice is one of our top vendors during our wedding and we’d definitely recommend him to our friends/family and possibly, book him for our future events. Thank you so much, DJ Solstice (Matt) for making our wedding all the more memorable. More power and much love to you guys! 🤍
DJ Solstice was such a hit at our wedding last week! Our day of coordinator even told us that Matt was the best she's ever worked with! He was informative and answered our questions very quickly. He was willing to work with us and our budget as well. He was on time and flexible throughout the planning process and on the day of. My parents suprised us with a mariachi band and he was quick to adjust on the spot. I'd highly recommend DJ Solstice for your next event!
Matt and his team did and amazing job with our San Clemente wedding. Excellent lighting and sound quality, but even better professionalism and customer service.
Through all the stress of wedding planning, DJ Solstice (Matt) made finding and booking a DJ plus photo booth package extremely enjoyable and easy. From the very beginning, Matt was very responsive, friendly, helpful, and flexible. I had asked him a number of questions when I first inquired and he provided very detailed responses usually within minutes. He would always provide photos and videos for reference and we were very impressed by what he had to offer. There was also a few times we had made updates to the contract and Matt was very accommodating. For the day-of, Matt was extremely professional and reliable. We had requested particular genres of music for pre-ceremony, cocktail, and dinner reception; Matt played exactly what we were looking for. For the dance party, we were also very specific with genres, song choices, etc. Matt did an excellent job of mixing a wide variety of genres together and keeping things lit (figuratively and literally) on the dance floor. The ambience he created with his lighting and effects were awesome to say the least. He also offers a CO2 gun to rent and all the guests loved it and couldn't get enough! Overall, Matt was very adaptable and has a very good sense of the overall flow of a wedding and it seemed like he knew exactly what to do and when, even if it may not have been specified earlier or on the schedule. Overall, I would highly recommend Matt for any wedding and would love the opportunity to book him in the future.

Hey Leo! Thank you so much for the amazing review. It was an absolute blast to DJ for you and your guests. Congratulations!
Matt made our night so much fun! We loved the sparklers so much and the fact we had a neon sign included in our package was so awesome. Matt kept the crowd dancing until the music had to be cut off. He was so awesome and we are so so happy to have found him!
Matt was nothing short of perfection throughout the entire process of wedding planning. He is no amateur and knows exactly what he’s doing. His communication is flawless and expeditious. Of all the vendors we used for our wedding DJ Solstice was the easiest to work with. He is very accommodating and he works his ass off to ensure your day is flawless! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about him! I have to say the top two compliments we received about our wedding were how great the food was and about how awesome our DJ is. I highly recommend you stop your search for a DJ and book him to save yourself the headache. Before booking Matt we did our research on at least 10 other DJs and it was Matts perseverance and willingness to work with us that sold us. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him for any other future events of mine. Aside from him being so personable his skill set is impeccable. Not once did our microphones squeal annoyingly, not once was a song abruptly stopped, nor did he miss a beat on any of the special requests we made. He really knows how to read a room. I specifically requested he play a song for my daughter and I to dance to and he saw how the emotions were running through the song and instead of playing just the snippet I asked him to play, he played a little more until he could tell we had had enough. It made for a great memory and great pictures! Thank you Matt we really appreciate your hard work on that day, you are really great at what you do and we were honored to have a guy like you by our side.
Initially we weren't expecting or planning for dancing, we didn't even have a dance floor! But with an hour before the end of the night and all activities finished, Matt turned it into an absolute party that we and our guests LOVED! Superb on the mic, with a fun sense of humor that's not cheesy or lame, which kept our guests engaged and entertained. Also provided a neon sign and mounted it above our cake for us, which was such a special touch. The up-lighting looked gorgeous too. Would 1000% recommend.
DJ Solstice was absolutely AMAZING for our wedding. It was a flawless experience and he was so incredibly easy to work with! We had an untraditional setting for our wedding on a farm in Pala, CA. We also had a live band in the midst of it all. Transitions were easy between DJ and band and everyone had a great time and there was 0 hiccups!
THANK YOU!!! YOU MADE OUR SPECIAL DAY DREAMS COME TRUE!
HIRE DJ SOLSTICE!!
One of the most important considerations for our wedding was having a GOOD DJ. My wife and I both knew if we did not have a good DJ, there would be no party. We took our time shopping around and were left disappointed. Then one day, an AD for a Bridal Expo came across us; we went with the hope of finding a DJ. It just so happened that DJ Solstice was the MC for the event. After hearing him work, we were so impressed we went up and booked him the same day!
Thank you, DJ Solstice, for an absolute fairy-tale wedding. The role of the DJ is to create a mood for the event and to keep the guests (MOST IMPORTANTLY THE BRIDE & GROOM) entertained. Let me tell you! This DJ brings it! If you are looking for a DJ, Matt is your guy!
In addition to the DJ service, he also provided a KILLER Photo Booth. The Photo Booth pictures are great, and I'm so glad we have a keepsake of the night. We even got to take home all the photos taken in the booth on the same night! EVEN MORE!! We were provided with a custom LED neon sign with our last name (we got to pick the LED color and Font prior to the wedding day). I can't tell you how many compliments I received from guests about how beautiful it was. The Photo Booth was an absolute HIT!
Killer DJ, rocked our wedding and my company's corporate holiday party (which is how we found him!). Also DJing two of our friends' weddings that's how incredible of a performance he gave. Thanks Solstice!
If you are looking for a DJ who will absolutely keep the party going all night long at your wedding, you should go with DJ Solstice. Even though it ended up raining on our wedding day (and we were supposed to have an outdoor wedding), our wedding really exceeded our expectations because of the music, lighting, and effects that DJ Solstice provided. He was extremely cost effective, especially considering he provides all of his own equipment, offers a high-quality photo booth with a beautiful backdrop, and a very cool custom neon sign. He not only handled a large 170+ person wedding, but really just did such an incredible job, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night and playing all of our favorite songs. Multiple guests and vendors commented on how great of a DJ he was and that they believe our wedding had the best music/lighting/dance floor of any wedding they’ve been to, and DJ Solstice really deserves all of the credit. I can’t recommend him more.
Don’t even waste your time looking for someone else than DJ Solstice! Fair price to what they bring to the table. Very professional, reachable and understanding your needs to make your day very special. DJ Josh set the mood the entire night at our wedding and even came out and danced with us! Photo booth and sparklers were a hit as well. Highly recommended!!!! Give Matt a call.
Matt was the best DJ we could have asked for ! He’s a one stop shop offering music, lighting, sparklers, and even a photo booth set up. I was so luckily to have met him at a bridal convention. Me and my husband really wanted our wedding to feel like a nightclub and that is exactly what we got ! Matt stayed strict with our music choices while providing the most amazing lighting effects and the biggest wow factor was the CO2 cannon and hand held CO2 gun. Our guests were blown away by everything ! We also got a neon sign that we were able to customize and keep after our wedding.
Matt will definitely be the DJ we go to whenever an event calls for it !
Dj Solstice was so great for our wedding. He played all of our requested songs and non from our do not play list. Everyone at our wedding came up to us saying he was the best wedding DJ they’ve heard and complimented how full the dance floor was all night. You killed it Matt! Thank you :)
DJ Solstice was our DJ a couple weeks ago and it was the P E R F E C T night. From the Mcing to the song selections and DJ work it was executed impeccably. We send over a playlist for him to get a feel for our musical tastes and he played those songs and ones like them and had our guests dancing all night. Our sendoff he coordinated and got the timing for that and our grand entrance just right. Thank you soooooooooooo much!
DON’T HESITATE - JUST HIRE MATT! We hired DJ Solstice for our wedding and had the BEST night of our lives dancing with our favorite people to his amazing song choices. The dance floor was legitimately packed the entire reception which is exactly what we wanted! He did an amazing job of balancing blending the different genres of our choosing. Moreover, Matt is incredibly responsive, kind, patient and accommodating - something every bride and groom desperately want in a vendor. On top of the bad ass DJ services, the photo booth add-on was SUCH a hit. Again, I do yourself a favor and hire Matt for your next event - You won’t regret it!
What an experience! He made our special night better than I can imagine! He was professional, and kind and just a master at getting the party started! Can’t thank you enough Matt!
We absolutely loved DJ solstice! He was super professional and honestly helped our day go smoothly. He kept the energy up and played all of our "must plays" and non of our "do not play" songs. We would definitely recommend!
DJ Solstice was incredible! Being an older couple from Texas, we had lots of regional Texan music and freestyle songs we wanted to hear, along with Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and Reggaeton. He mixed it flawlessly, had the dance floor going all night (4 hours!). He met us at the venue a month out to go over setup and placement, which we admired being not from the state. Uplighting really added a nice touch to the small room to make it feel more intimate. Thank you so much
If you are looking for an INCREDIBLE DJ to keep your party going all night long seriously look no further. DJ solstice was absolutely AMAZING!!! We went with the ultimate package and it was the best decision ever! We had a neon sign, the dancing on a cloud effect, CO2 canons, flashing glow sticks, cold sparklers and a photo booth (which was a huge hit!!) Our guest cannot stop talking about how awesome the DJ was. We seriously could not be happier!!! THANK YOU DJ SOLSTICE!!!
Solsitce was hired to provide photobooth services for our wedding. We went with the white floral backdrop and it was absolutely beautiful, blending in seamlessly with our decor. The quality of the pictures were superb - I am a professional wedding photographer and even I was impressed. Easy to use, friendly service, and fun props & prints.
We hired DJ Solstice for our wedding on September 10th. He sent out DJ Ceelos for our big day, and they were both amazing to work with! Throughout the whole process they were both very quick to respond to any questions and DJ Ceelos set up a call with us before the wedding and listened to what we wanted, and he nailed it! Everyone commented on how great the music was at our wedding. My now husband had a designed a light show on his computer for our first dance and DJ Ceelos took the time to review everything with him to make sure it went off without a hitch. We also rented our photobooth from DJ Solstice and the quality was amazing! The photobooth attendant was also great to work with. I highly recommend this company for your event!
We booked DJ Solstice for our wedding on sept. 2 2022 and would absolutely recommend! We were provided with a Google doc to keep our playlist/song choices organized, and there were lots of recommendations for playlists for all different times of the day/night ( guest arrival, grand entrance options, dancing etc). But we were also able to share our own playlists which is what I did. And when I told him that I'd work on cutting down my 6 hour long dancing playlist he said not to worry about it and that it was his job to read the room, which he did very well! Our friends and family had a blast, dancing and screaming the words to a bunch of the songs he ended up choosing. So glad we trusted him with the music for our day!
DJ Solstice was contracted for our initially small backyard same-sex wedding. Then we added 100 guests and changed to a waterfront venue! LOL! He was able to change up and adapt his setup to the new venue no problem, and we also added the Photobooth which our guests and us loved. We gave him a generic direction of pop and country and he absolutely delivered. Read the crowd, played all the jams, and had us dancing all night. The lighting added to the ambiance and made it even more beautiful. Had so many guests comment afterwords about how much fun they had. Recommend x10!
Matt was overall amazing as an MC and DJ for our wedding! We found him at a bridal expo & he was one of the few who were really hyped up & exciting to watch. He followed up after the expo & shared his rates for the packages he offered. Quick communication through email & text. Pricing was reasonable compared to other DJ services. We gave him playlists in advance, varying between English/Spanish songs & he mixed them with smooth transitions. He read the room really well during the dancing part & would switch up the music with shoutouts over the microphone to hype our crowd up! We got light up sticks & a neon sign included in his package. He went above & beyond by playing a perfect song for our first look, which wasn’t asked for. We appreciate these little details. Minor hiccup when announcing something, but overall very satisfied with his service! Highly recommend.
We are so happy we hired Matt for our big day. He truly brought the party and delivered everything perfectly all day long from ceremony to night. Not only that but he really is a great guy too and our family and friends loved him. We couldn’t have asked for a better party thanks to him. Thanks so much for an epic day and we will definitely be looking at hiring DJ Solstice for future events!!
