Josh was my favorite wedding vendor to work with! From the start, he was extremely responsive, communicative and thoughtful. We wanted to chat about our music preferences before the wedding, and we ended up having a 45 minute phone call about p...
references, logistics, dislikes etc. Josh was SO easy to chat with and we left that phone call feeling so confident about our wedding music. Of course, he blew us away at the wedding! He took all of our likes/dislikes into consideration and helped us throw the BEST party. Our guests all raved about how much fun our reception was because of our DJ. What makes Josh unique is his ability to adapt to the kind of celebration you're interested in having. I promise, you need Kalifornia Entertainment at your wedding if you want it to be at a level above any other weddings! Thanks Josh for all you did for us.

This will be a long review but I want to talk about how awesome our DJ was. First off, I knew that the DJ would be an important part of our wedding, but I had no idea how crucial Kalifornia Entertainment would be to making our day memorable in ...
so many amazing ways. Going with a real professional like Josh made all the difference, as it’s clear how much the professionalism and expertise that Josh has really paid off. Leading up, Josh was fantastic to work with ahead of our wedding. He was beyond patient and understanding with all of our questions in our first consultation. We had a lot of questions because we met with a handful of DJs before him which gave us the opportunity to ask him questions we thought of after meeting with the others. When we decided to choose him after meeting with us (we felt more comfortable with him over the others we met with), we finally started the planning process. He was quick to answer every additional question I had when planning. From strategies to music for the ceremony at our outdoor spot to the best mic setup for our videographers to capture the audio they needed, he’d done it all before (and worked with many of our vendors as well), and the value of that experience was clear. And of course, the detailed planning document and follow-up call 2 weeks before the wedding was the perfect way to make sure we’d ironed out all of the details. As a bride, it often felt like my job to think of everything, but with Josh, I got the comfort and relief of a pro who’d thought of everything I hadn’t and was always one step ahead. Our wedding day was wonderful but a bit chaotic, validating all of the prep work Josh did to be ready for anything. Some nasty weather rolled in and we had to change quickly to an indoor venue, but because we'd been over the backup plan, Josh was able to shift gears quickly without scrambling for new instructions. And let me tell you about how incredible Josh is as a DJ --- ROCK STAR!! It was a bit of a fire drill for him to pack up his equipment when the rain came and switch over to our alternate venue, but he did an absolutely amazing job. The second setup worked really well, with all of our guests able to hear our ceremony clearly—a huge priority. We’d provided a list of songs we love (but gave him the freedom to do what he does best), and he understood our vibe so well! We got compliments not just from guests but from our shuttle drivers saying that the party sounded fantastic and that we had the best music—all thanks to Josh! We loved the fantastic energy he brought, joining our friends on the dance floor and understanding exactly how to keep people pumped up. We wanted a mix of country, pop, 90's, and some “guilty pleasure” tunes from our college days. He managed to find the perfect blend, switching it up to keep things fresh without giving anyone musical whiplash. The moment Josh became the real MVP of our wedding was when he approached our venue and got them to extend our end time! He saw how much fun we were having and took it upon himself to see if we could keep things going. We had the very best night, thanks to Josh's intuition, initiative, professionalism and preparation that I honestly believe is unmatched by anyone else. I cannot recommend Josh and Kalifornia Entertainment enough!

ough out to the night to make sure every guest had a wonderful time. In addition to the music my husband and I also decided to rent the photo booth. The photo booth was a great hit at our wedding and a key part of our guest book because we wanted to do something a little different. We decided to have guests glue one strip of photos and write us well wishes or advice in a photo album. It will be so much fun to look back at our guest book and all the silly photos of everyone in years to come. Our Best Man and his wife signed a contract with Josh at the end of the night because they are getting married in 2024 and didnt even want to bother talking to any other DJs. They were so impressed with Josh that they wanted to book him right away. I highly recommend Josh and Kalifornia Entertainment. Anyone who does get him for their wedding will understand quickly why he is the most wanted DJ in Rochester by couples. If I could give him more then 5 stars I would!
Any questions?

We were truly blown away by Josh at Kalifornia Entertainment. He was the first vendor we booked over 18 months before our wedding and he never failed to check in with us every step of the way. He made sure every last song we wanted was played, ...
and kept everyone dancing on the dance floor the entire night. So many people told us how much their feet hurt after the wedding because they just could not stop dancing. All through planning, he constantly made it known that he was there for us - checking in with us every couple of months and even the entire night of the wedding. He even helped make small moments become some of our most memorable moments, and truly just being a friend throughout the entire experience. We would recommend Josh to our closest friends and family. Weeks later, our guests are STILL talking about how absolutely incredible Josh was and the extra level of care he gave to everyone. He is the absolute best. We tell everyone our wedding day was the best day & dance party ever, and we really do have Josh to thank for it! We are the luckiest that we were able to book him because he books SO FAR OUT because EVERONE wants him for their wedding! Thank you Josh for giving us the best day we dreamed of.

Josh was recommended by our wedding planner. We met with him and we knew instantly he was the right choice for us. We have a lot of dancers in our family so music was very important to us. Josh has a lot of mixes on his website and after listen...
ing to them, we knew even more so that we made the right decision on him. His communication is outstanding and he was always there to help us with anything we needed or answer any of my hectic questions. He hit it out of the park during the wedding and not one person was sitting the whole night. Everyone including my 70 year old aunt, both of our parents, and our friends were on the dance floor the whole night. And the fact that Josh came out on the dance floor and showed his AMAZING break dance skills (we asked him to because we knew he was a dancer too) was incredible. A few of our guests even connected with Josh to see if he’d DJ their upcoming wedding as well so we get to party with him many more times which we can't wait. Thank you Josh for everything you did for us and giving us the best night of our lives.

floor all night! Everything Josh does for his clients is wonderful and he offers a level of service that is UNMATCHED by anyone else. I would 100% recommend him for any event you need a DJ for but you have to book him fast. We snagged him over 2 years in advance. Just by doing simple searches you'll see that he has brides clawing their way to book him and it's no wonder he is the MOST popular and wanted DJ in Rochester. Consider yourself one of the true lucky ones if you have him at your wedding. We strongly believe there is no other DJ in Rochester that brides and grooms can say the same about. Thank you Josh for everything you did for our wedding.

His video booth was a very big hit with our guests, especially with the guests who were not big dancers. It gave them something fun to do and they loved it. I wish I could give Josh a hundred stars. He is incredible at what he does.

Josh gave fantastic suggestions for songs when we were stumped during the planning and really helped us along the way but the most impressive part of what Josh did was when we had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid-19. Josh was a complete life saver for us and not only coordinated with our venue and other vendors but he really gave us some great ideas for having a smaller scaled down reception. Once the day finally came, Josh wasn’t fantastic, he was beyond fantastic. He was the best possible DJ we could have hired. He took what we talked about with him about and did better than we could have ever imagined. Josh even went beyond the job of a DJ. During dinner he helped to usher tables and spent time talking with our guests. Never did our reception dance feel like every other wedding, and guests who don’t typically dance got out on the dance floor, including my husband who swore he might dance for one or two songs. He ended up dancing the night away. Many of our guests kept saying how amazing Josh was not just as a DJ but as person who genuinely cares about everyone who is there. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and we will recommend Kalifornia Entertainment to anyone getting married.

On top of that, Josh played the best songs and was flexible when we had certain requests that was nowhere on the standard playlist. The guests danced ALL NIGHT and we had the best time. Another thing that made everything awesome was Josh didnt charge us for uplighting or a monogram which the other company wanted to charge for. I can't say enough how awesome it was to work with Josh and will recommend him to everyone I know looking for a DJ.

was so responsive via email, Facebook and texting and spent a lot of time getting to know what type of music we preferred. We held a call with him before the wedding and he was engaged and thoughtful and proved to us that he had the correct understanding of our wants and tastes. His photo and video booth was a huge guest favorite at the wedding too and everyone loved using it. We researched high and low for all of our vendors and spent a great deal of time doing our homework on many DJ's. We researched the big companies, the small companies and everything in between. It was important that we had vendors who were organized and responsive and just had a great interest in the success of the wedding. Many of the DJs we talked to and researched felt like salesmen who were feeding us lines of BS just to get our money. Josh is nothing like that and even offered to give us time to think things over before signing with him. There was no pressure what so ever from him. We knew instantly that he was the one after our first meeting and we are very happy we decided to have him as our DJ. We would definitely recommend him to anyone we know getting married.

In the time during cocktail hour, before announcing the wedding party he went over the details one more time. Josh was OCD about making sure names and everything was perfect and if there were any last minute changes, which we loved because it shows his dedication to his craft. Thank goodness! We did have had a last minute change in the wedding party and he saved us a lot of embarrassment by being on top of things.

I don't even know where to begin when explaining how awesome Josh at Kalifornia Entertainment is. From our initial meeting, to the planning process, to our wedding day, he went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. When we met Josh...
for the first time, he explained that his goal is to make sure the bride and groom show up to their wedding feeling like guests so they can enjoy the day and not worry about anything. Let me tell you, he did just that, and more. My husband was so impressed with Josh's presentation, his demeanor and personality, his thoroughness, his client area on his website and planning forms that the minute we left our initial meeting he said we needed to book him immediately (which we did a few days later). Josh sat with us and we acted like best friends that have known each other for years. He made us feel very comforable and didnt come across like some sleazy car salesman like some other DJ's we met with. From that moment on, Josh was so on top of everything when it came to the lead up to the reception and kept constant communication open with us almost every week on Facebook. He also did a walk through at our venue with us prior to the wedding to ensure everything for the set up and logistics would be perfect (including uplighting, monogram, cake lighting, and his photo booth which we booked through him). I really don't know of any other DJ who would be willing to do so much that Josh did for us just to help make a day so special. When the actual day came, and the minute we stepped into the reception, we did not have to worry about a single thing. Josh made everything go SO smoothly and the dance floor was packed all night. We left him in charge of music creativity and it was amazing. I've been to other weddings where the DJ was just so bad in the songs they chose. You never have to worry about that with Josh. I wish I had more room to keep posting how great he is, but I will wrap up by saying booking Josh was the best decision we made for our wedding and he is truly one of a kind!

I don't know what else to say other than Josh is spectacular. As a bride who is admittedly a little bit of a control freak and who picked a wedding venue with a shorter timeframe allowance than most, he kept to our schedule and allowed for flexibility all in a fun and unstressful way. Even when we ran a bit overtime due to longer than expected table visits at dinner, he found a way to squeeze in everything we wanted to do! He was a great host, and helped events flow from excusing tables to dinner to speeches, cake cutting to introductions, dances, bouquet toss, garter toss, leading dances you name it! He was always checking in with me without “checking in,” and I know the day would not have worked as well without him. Josh is also the most incredible DJ I have ever heard in my life. The way he mixes the music is awesome and every song was so just so smooth and incredible. He had everyone out on the floor dancing, I mean everybody!

When we couldn't quite remember the steps to a line dance, he jumped onto the dance floor and gave us a brief review of the footwork so we could get back to just having fun.

During the reception he was able to go with the flow and gauge the crowd at every moment, and was extremely flexible when we wanted to change up the order of things on the fly based on our crowd. It flowed seamlessly. Our dance floor was over flowing with our guests from beginning to end and we received so many compliments on how much fun everyone had, which had to do with Josh. I highly recommend this amazing company for any of your wedding needs! 10/10 stars.

I knew the moment we met with Kalifornia Entertainment (Joshua) that he was the one we needed to have at our wedding. It can be exhausting meeting with so many DJ's and hearing them all pitch themselves to you. You just don't know who to go wit...
h. But Joshua was different. He has this certain charisma that we weren't able to see or find with other DJ's we met with. We wanted someone who understood our music tastes and Joshua nailed it perfectly. Joshua doesn't do anything halfway. He puts his whole entire heart into your wedding with an enormous amount of passion. He listened, he observed, and then he delivered! His uplighting and monogram transformed our venue and made it look beautiful. We knew we chose a great DJ also when people started dancing even before dinner. Our floor was packed to the point where it actually over flowed with guests because EVERYONE wanted to dance to what Joshua was playing. His music blends so perfectly to the point where you don't even realize when one song is ending and the next song is starting. His photobooth was so much fun and guests loved being able to choose photos, video, boomerangs and write on the screen to leave us messages. Joshua is very interactive with people too, not just on the microphone but he comes out on the dance floor and dances and teaches people how to dance too. He set up a dance battle between the guys and gals and had us all do Soul Train Line and it was so funny. Thank you Joshua for all you did and for making our day so incredible. We had 4 different engaged couples at our wedding tell us they wanted Joshua for their weddings. One of those couples is actually going to cancel with the DJ they booked and try and get Joshua for themselves. If you want the best DJ in Rochester at your event, then you need Kalifornia Entertainment. Simple as that.

We cannot say enough positive things about Josh and Kalifornia Entertainment. Let me start by saying we found him because he came highly recommended through friends. We met with a couple of DJ companies that have a bunch of different DJs that y...
ou can choose from and we couldn't understand why their prices were so high. Our friends told us that it's because those companies have an over head to pay so they pass those prices and fees on to you, which isn't very fair in my opinion. If you're looking for a DJ, keep that in mind when you do your search. So our friends told us to check out Josh and boy are we so happy we did. From our first meeting until the very end of our wedding, he was wonderful. Always making sure we had everything we needed. He played an awesome variety of music and kept everybody on the dance floor all night long. Anything you want, he will try to make it happen for you! The photo booth was amazing and everyone loved having pictures as the wedding favors. Josh worked with our officiant to help schedule our the ceremony too, which went off flawlessly. The reception was phenomenal. Josh was so on top of it he actually took the time to ask my husband and I if he could get us anything to drink from the bar. He was very aware of the time schedule and would find us if it was time to move on to the next formal portion of the reception. Another huge thing in my opinion is that he got along great with our other vendors and they loved him. Our photographer even said she was removing a DJ from her vendor list and putting Josh right at the top because he was so great. Thank you Kalifornia Entertainment for making our day PERFECT!

Midway through the night, our wedding coordinator said usually she sees one or two tables sitting down, but that was not the case at our wedding. Every single table was up and having a great time.

He did an incredible job mixing songs from oldies to motown to recent hits to 80's. All of our family and friends loved him and we got so many compliments after our wedding. His photobooth was so easy to use and a lot of fun. We really liked the fact that guests could take home pictures from the photobooth because we didn't have favors to give. So the photobooth pics acted like the favors. If I had to plan a million more weddings, I would book Josh every single time. He's that amazing at what he does.

We found this in Josh (DJ Kalifornia) because he's an actual nightclub DJ and not a DJ that presses play without mixing or a DJ that plays old people music. Josh arrived early to the venue 2 hours ahead of time and got to work right away. He went above and beyond the call of duty and helped ensure that our guitar player could amplify his sound and that the officiant had sound as well. Once the reception started, I heard nothing but compliments about the music. When the dance floor opened for everyone, it stayed full literally the whole night. I never wanted to leave it because every song was so good. It seemed like every time I would step off the dance floor, I would have to run back onto the dance floor because "my favorite" song would come on! All of our guests had such a blast.

He also took care of a few other sound needs we had for the wedding, like having speakers and mics for our ceremony. I had so many guests tell me what a great time they had all night.

Josh has great reviews and we knew we wanted a nightclub DJ for our wedding but what truly sealed the deal with us was his attention to detail and his personality. The bigger DJ companies just didnt have the same level of attention or personality as Josh as far as we were concerned. We went with Josh's top DJ and photo booth package which was also two LESS than the other DJ's we researched. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had, even some at 10pm at night. Met with him twice to review how the day would go and left both times feeling very confident that he would make my day amazing. He did a specatacular job keeping guests on the dance floor as we knew he would. We wanted an elegant nightclub party feel for our reception and he nailed it perfectly. We received a copy of all the photo booth pictures immediately and we know that we will use Josh again in the future for other stuff. See for yourself why Josh is so highly seeked and why he has been voted Best DJ in Rochester a bunch of times. And if you're feeling unsure or uneasy about other DJ companies, take a breather for a few days and meet with Josh before making a final decision. You'll see with your own eyes that Josh is the right choice over other DJ companies.

Josh was incredible for our wedding this past weekend. He was always very quick to get back to me when I had questions, was very detailed orientated during his planning and set up, and he made our wedding perfect! Our guests loved everything he...
did for us from the monogram to his photobooth to the music. One of the things that many guests commented on was how he walked around the room during the cocktail hour and chatted with everyone at their tables to see what songs they liked and what they were interested in hearing. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end. If you want the best DJ in Rochester, higher Kalifornia Entertainment!

From my initial contact with Josh at Kalifornia Entertainment to the updates and answered inquiries along the way to the actual event, my experience with him far exceeded my expectations. Josh is absolutely incredible to work with and is brilli...
ant when it comes to making the day perfect. He was also the DJ at my sisters wedding and had everyone dancing the entire night and it was no different at my wedding!!! In fact my wedding may have had even more energy and fun than at my sisters. He also helped me work on mixing a track for another event and was incredible to work with, so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to ensure that it was exactly what we wanted. Josh's remixes simply enhanced my music selections. This is what you get when you hire someone who is a nightclub DJ and a wedding DJ. The best of both worlds!! Additional lighting supplied by him made for the perfect party atmosphere I desired for the wedding reception. He doesnt charge anything extra for his uplighting or monogram which I thought was amazing considering every other DJ charges a lot for those add ons. Trust me, this is the DJ you want for your wedding! I cannot say enough great things about Josh other than he is an incredible DJ and an even better person with a solid gold heart and beautiful personality!! Thank you from the McKenzie's f
