Matt
Owner
DJ Solstice is a high-energy, dance floor packing, experienced and professional DJ who makes client satisfaction his number one priority. He has a true passion for music and prefers not to play the 30 exact other songs all wedding DJs play, and instead innovates with remixes, hyped up classics, and dance jams (but can be traditional if you request). Always wanting to give clients the best, he has spent years programing and tailoring light shows to the audiences to create a spectacular production.

We had the pleasure of Matt come and DJ and MC our wedding, and he did such an amazing job.
He was a fantastic MC and announced key timeline details during our wedding night. He ...
was a natural at it.
And as a DJ, he knocked it out the park. We had many of our friends and family ask about him and some even wanted his contact info. The sounds and lights setup were fantastic and he played an amazing set - high energy with all our guests joining in and having fun.
If you want a DJ who can make the dance floor the best part of your night, book with Matt. Can confidently recommend him!

We cannot say enough good things about DJ Solstice (Matt). Music was one of the most important investments for our wedding, and we fully trusted him to crush it. He absolutely deli...
vered. From the very first song, he had complete control of the dance floor and kept our family and friends up and moving the entire night. The vibe he created was immaculate, and even guests who we weren’t sure of if they enjoyed the same music as us were dancing until the very end. That's something special that he got our parents dancing together with us to EDM ^_^
We also chose to do a lighting upgrade and it was so worth it. Combined with his sound system, which was impressive, the whole space transformed into a true festival atmosphere. Our guests kept raving about how fun and lit the dance floor was, and so many told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to.
Matt is truly talented and made the night feel really fun without needing much direction. He listened to our vision, delivered it expertly, and elevated it beyond what we imagined.
If you want a DJ who knows how to read the crowd, create incredible energy, and make your wedding feel like an epic celebration, that's Matt. We are so grateful he was part of our vendor team and highly recommend him.

DJ Solstice was our wedding DJ last weekend and he absolutely killed it!!! A friend used him last year and once we experienced the party that he threw we just knew he was the only ...
option for us! He was our first vendor picked. We had a wide range of music that he expertly blended together so seamlessly, and we had an all night long dance party for EVERYONE!! The Photo Booth quality was amazing with many options to choose from and the lighting was so professionally done. He was so responsive and easy to work with, he even made some last minute changes for us. He is a great MC - all introductions, and announcements were done flawlessly!

d. His booking process was seamless and everything was so detailed. When it came time for discussing certain music for the day of, he executed my vision even better than I could have hoped for. I had some specific timings in songs I wanted played and he got it all down perfectly. The reception was AMAZING. He absolutely read the room so well, keeping people on the dance floor all night but still playing songs we wanted to hear (from all different genres). And the lighting!!! My wedding reception was the party of my dreams. Matt and his team are so so so professional. I received so many compliments on the night. Entertainment is arguably the most important and memorable part of your wedding and DJ Solstice was absolutely the best choice we could have made. Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful and memorable!!

DJ Solstice was the first vendor I booked, over a year out from my wedding date. I actually found him before my venue, and refused to book certain venues that didn't allow me to ha...
ve my dj of choice. Having good music was so important to me, I hate when DJ's don't know how to mix smoothly and you can hear songs clash. My husband and I met at a rave 15 years ago, so EDM and house music is our favorite. It was always my dream to have a wedding that was like a club haha, I wanted the lights, good rhythmic music and I just wanted to dance all night. Well Matt came through!!!
He is quick to respond, easy to talk to, and needs little direction, he's definitely a pro! He emailed me a few weeks before the wedding with a detailed list of things he needed to know, I gave him a small list of favorite DJ's and some songs that we're my favorite and he handled the rest! He even nailed the uplighting. That's something I forgot to talk about, but he matched it to my decor perfectly! His attention to detail is amazing! His MCing is also great, very smooth and nice tone, doesn't shout or talk to much, haha sounds weird to say but I've heard bad MCs before.
DJ Solstice was literally everything I wanted and more for my wedding, he even nailed a calvin harris/ummet ozcan mashup I asked if he could recreate. He's SOOO GOOOD! I cannot say it enough!!! I'll be recommending him for life! Best money I spent on the wedding.... 1000% worth it!!!

py to find DJ Solstice, who truly brought the best, high-energy party for our guests. From the beginning, DJ Solstice was great to work with an he incorporated all of our wishes for music into our wedding day. This included a specific first dance song (that is unreleased, and we only have a bootleg recording of via YouTube) - DJ Solstice somehow made it sound amazing in the venue for our first dance, including cold sparklers during the beat drops!
DJ Solstice was fantastic at seamlessly integrating all of the music genres that we love (bass EDM, pop, hip hop, and reggaeton). We got so many compliments from our guests! We would wholeheartedly recommend DJ Solstice for any high-energy, dance event. He truly brought the party!!
Additionally, Solstice Entertainment had a fantastic lighting team that made our venue look beautiful and coordinated the lighting with the music - fantastic in photos! The photobooth team was awesome as well, and we had so much fun at the photobooth with our guests.

life. We loved our custom neon sign, the audio guestbook and vinyl option, the guests enjoyed the Photo Booth, and the cold sparks were such a fun touch during the dance.
Matt is extremely communicative and responsive which helped ease any pre wedding anxiety because he answered all of our questions and gave us feedback as needed. He played great music that covered the different cultures and age groups of our guests and he definitely kept the party going. Our other vendors also spoke highly with regards to working with him.
I’d like to add that he was a complete sweetheart when I requested that a message be added to our audio guestbook, two weeks post event, for my husband to hear on the vinyl for anniversaries to come. This act alone has ensured that we both have something special to listen to and we are eternally grateful. Don’t think twice, save yourself the hassle and book Matt for your next event!! You won’t regret it! Can’t wait to work with him for any future events.

xcruciating days and hours combing the internet, listening to plenty of vlogs and samples from DJ after DJ, for anyone that can match the vibes my wife and I were seeking for our wedding and Matt absolutely delivered! He continued to work diligently with me as we worked through our vision for the wedding day and he was noting short of a consummate professional through the whole processes despite the obstacles, definitely worth every bit of time and budget we had set for him! Every single guest we had come up to us loved him from his transitions, to his control of the dance floor and vibes, and even his ability to MC was far above what we have experienced in other weddings! Not to mention all the lights, sounds, and CO2 cannons he brought out! Certainly at the grade and level he promised when we first met and more! We asked for an EDM Set and he gave us one way above anything we ever expected, and we've seen plenty! For a day we don't ever plan to replicate again in our lives, I'm glad my wife Rachael and I were able to share this day with Matt and his team and they have our highest recommendation we could give to anyone for ANY of your music genre needs! Matt, looking forward to seeing your future clips, gig logs, and your continued growth in the forseable future!

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!

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 fi...
nd 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 :)

th 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 !

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!

he 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. Mat...
t 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
