From day 1, Pete was a blast to work with. He was very communicative and provided clear instructions for what he needed from us and what he could provide. We had him play classical music during the ceremony and a playlist inspired by our favorite songs during the reception, and on the day of everything went incredibly smoothly. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!
Would 10/10 recommend Pete as your DJ AND musician for your wedding day! Pete was extremely knowledgable in helping us through our wedding night timeline and ensuring we stayed on track. He played live for our cocktail hour outdoors, even helped soundcheck for our family members giving live performances for first dances, and then kept the dance floor alive with his DJ set. He is familiar with Botanica and Trademark venues, which made our planning easy! Thank you so much Pete! -Leah and Billy
We had the absolute pleasure of having Pete Goslow as our DJ and musician for our wedding at Botanica in Oceanside, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, Pete was incredibly thorough in his preparation, making sure he understood our vision, music preferences, and the flow of the event. His attention to detail was truly remarkable, ensuring that every moment was perfectly timed and executed. On the day of the wedding, Pete provided incredible flexibility, seamlessly handling song requests and adjusting to the energy of the crowd. He kept the atmosphere lively and fun while making sure everything felt natural and personal to us. His professionalism and talent as both a musician and DJ made a huge impact on our special day, and we received so many compliments from our guests, especially for his live singing during cocktail hour. If you're looking for a DJ who is not only skilled but also adaptable, thoughtful, and deeply committed to making your event unforgettable, Pete is the perfect choice. We are beyond grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing wedding or event experience!
Pete was wonderful he customized our wedding music options. I had a unique request to have my late father’s guitar played along with my wedding march as I walked down the aisle. Pete was able to blend the sound of a very old acoustic guitar and digital sound track together beautifully! He played guitar and sung during our cocktail hour and DJ’ed the reception. It was a wonderful experience working with him and he made the process easy on us!
I’m a big music fan and very particular about the what songs I imagined at my wedding. At the same time I’m not a dj and have no idea how to get a dance floor moving. Pete was amazing to partner with in this regard. He allowed us to preselect songs we wanted (and which songs we didn’t want) to be played at certain points in the night. He really created an amazing atmosphere with them. When it came to the dance floor we trusted him and he didn’t let us down. We had an absolute blast.
He also played his signature classical guitar during our ceremony and it was beautiful. His guitar playing alone is 10 out of 10. Add the djing and how easy he is to work with and you’ve got the total package to soundtrack the best day of your life. Thanks Pete!
Pete was amazing!! So happy I booked him for our wedding. He helped through the whole process and made it so easy to figure out what songs we wanted to play, etc. We also had him play guitar during the ceremony which I absolutely loved. He's so much more than just a DJ!
Pete made our wedding day the best day of our lives (and most fun) at Ethereal Gardens in Escondido! Our guests could not get over how great the music/vibes were and everyone danced all night long. At one point, I went over to Pete and asked him not to play any slow songs because we were all having too much fun dancing, and he seamlessly worked with my preferences/requests. My husband and I loved Pete from our first phone call; his chill vibe made me feel relaxed and calm throughout the entire process. He also plays amazing live music and sings, which we wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We spoke to many different DJs, and Pete was an easy choice. The planning process was very smooth and his system for selecting songs was clear and helpful (it gave top wedding song ideas which was nice). He also gave us ideas for ceremony songs/first dace songs because we were not very confident in this area, and they turned out to be perfect. It's clear he knows what he is doing and is highly experienced, because he even gave small suggestions such as "I would suggest having me play guitar during the sand ceremony so it is not awkwardly silent" which turned out to be spot on. Pete also allowed my brother- and father-in-law to perform a special song, and provided a guitar and microphone for them, as well as a sound check earlier in the day. His sound system is top-notch, and our ceremony video turned out great thanks to his microphone/speaker system. He is willing to work with whatever you want to make your wedding dreams come true. Pete is also a great emcee; he speaks just enough to get the crowd going and pump the energy up, but does not over-talk or take over the room. He got EVERYONE on the dance floor. Best day/night ever! Best dj/musician/emcee ever! Thank you Pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking back at my wedding, the best decision was hiring Pete. He was like a second coordinator on the big day. He really made me feel at ease and made sure everything ran smoothly as far as timing went. He is the BEST and not to mention, SO TALENTED!
A perfect mix of elegance and fun! Pete was great from start to finish. We loved that he offers a mix of live music and DJ services - it was like getting two experiences for the price of one. From the beginning, it felt like we were in good hands. He is super fun to talk to and has some great stories to share - plus, he clearly knows what he's doing. My husband and I got married at Tivoli Italian Villa in SD, a place Pete had a lot of experience with. When going over timelines and song requests, Pete gave his professional opinion when helpful, but was respectful of our tastes and catered to exactly what we wanted. We started with instrumental music during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then switched over to DJing for the reception. We had some special requests: some traditional Jewish elements like dancing the Hora; PLUS, some less than traditional elements... a full-on metal-style mosh pit. Pete accommodated these requests with ease. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. He makes sure it all runs smoothly and brings the part so you can focus on the important stuff - getting married!
Pete DJ'd my wedding and played the guitar while I sang for my wife. Exemplary professionalism and he was very easy to work with in planning my performance. Highly recommended! 10/10!
Pete was the DJ/MC at our wedding in August and we couldn’t have been happier with him! He was responsive and helpful throughout the process, and even learned a song to perform with my cousin while I walked down the aisle! I promise you won’t regret choosing him for your wedding!
Pete was awesome to work with. He spent time on the phone multiple times trying to figure out music for each part of the wedding. My mom wanted to have a say in the music and he was willing to listen to her and figure out the best selections. He was more detail oriented than me and really helped me think more deeply about the wedding and even gave some good advice. He played the guitar beautifully at the ceremony and kept people dancing all night long !! He is very talented and definitely has a ton of experience. We are lucky our venue recommended him!
We hired Pete Goslow to be the emcee (entertainer), musician, and DJ at our wedding. He was HIGHLY recommended to us by a lady at one of the venues we toured. We ultimately decided to get married at one of Trademark's beautiful wedding venues, Twin Oaks Wedding Venue in San Marcos, CA. Bob and I were planning more of a non-traditional wedding and were looking for acoustic vibes with strong vocals, along with someone who had tremendous experience and who could help us bring to life our vision. When we heard the amazing things about Pete, we knew we had to book him. He ended up being the first vendor we officially booked. When first reaching out to Pete, he was super friendly and very informative, which made us feel relaxed and excited! After filling out a service survey, looking over pricing, and seeing if our date was available, he sent us a very detailed contract, outlining everything in a super clear manner. We were given access to a his website (WHICH HAS TONS OF HIS MUSIC SAMPLES) where we could select our music and make playlists. Then, we were able to make our custom timeline together and schedule an informational phone meeting where we went over all our questions, our timeline, our song ideas, and every other little detail. Leading up to our wedding day, we had ZERO worries which was AMAZING. On the wedding day, Pete played some live music, along with playing music from our playlist in a DJ setting. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Everyone commented on what an outstanding musician/DJ/emcee he was. HE is also so professional and just the nicest guy ever! He was also such a fun emcee to have. He even included his own unique idea by asking our parents a special question in front of everyone at the reception. SO SWEET. He also was able to SECRETLY sneak in a special 50th anniversary dance for my parents and an extra father-daughter dance (for my husband's sister who got married during covid). EVERYTHING went EXACTLY as planned... flawlessly, which really made Bob and I grateful and everyone had a blast thanks to Pete’s awesome music. He also provided lighting, speakers, and microphones, which was super cool. We really didn’t have to worry about a thing because we knew we were in good hands with Pete! If you have any confusion or hiring a musician seems overwhelming to you, choosing to hire Pete will take ALL those worries away because he really has everything SO well thought out and he is MUCH more than just a musician. He is the total package!!!!! As long as you know your vibe, your music, and how you envision your timeline, he puts everything else in place. We will always be grateful that we chose Pete Goslow!
Our wedding at Vista Valley Country Club (now Haven’s Country Club) in Vista, California (San Diego) was an unforgettable experience, made possible in no small part by our incredible DJ, Pete Goslow.
From our initial contact, Pete's attention to detail and genuine warmth reassured us that we were in good hands. He seamlessly guided us through the planning process, ensuring every moment flowed flawlessly.
Pete's live music during cocktail hour set the perfect vibe, and his expert timing during our entrance created a truly magical moment. The acoustic cocktail hour, highlighted by Pete's remarkable vocal talent, was a unique and memorable touch that left our guests in awe.
Pete wasn't just an amazing DJ; he was an integral part of making our day perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking to elevate their wedding day to something truly extraordinary.
Thank you, Pete Goslow, for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.
Gratefully,
Lauren and Carter
Pete was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. He was extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and thoughtful in his music selections. He really took the time to get to know my husband and I to understand our musical preferences and curate the right vibe. He set the tone perfectly for our wedding, and all of our guests were so impressed -- from his guitar playing to DJ skills. We received so many compliments from our guests afterward. Thank you, Pete, for making our big day so perfect!
My husband and I got married in San Diego in September of 2022. Our venue, Vista Valley Country Club (now Havens), listed Pete as a preferred vendor for wedding music/DJ/emcee. He also came highly recommended by our wedding planner, so we decided to set up a meeting early in our planning process (July ‘21). I can confidently say, Pete was one of the best parts of our day and I can’t recommend him enough. From our first initial planning meeting, it was clear he was a true professional, in that he was able to give us many helpful tips and suggestions from his experience, but he also was accommodating to our specific requests. He checked in with us often and we were able to develop a solid plan early on, which was helpful to our overall planning timeline. The form we used for song requests was easy to use, and we were able to create two playlists (dinner/dancing), as well as choose any songs we did not want played. He also worked very well with our coordinator in creating seamless transitions between events that made our day run very smoothly. One of the biggest highlights of the day however, was our first dance; Pete sang and played a beautiful rendition of “I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song.” It was amazing, and truly made our day. After the dances/dinner, Pete really brought a great energy to the dance floor and kept everyone out there dancing until the night ended. All of our guests raved about how much the dance floor rocked, and still talk about how much fun they had. Meaningful music and a fun, high energy dance floor experience was something that was really important to us, and Pete truly delivered that.
To top it all off, we found out after the fact that Pete generously gave a ride to two of our guests who were unable to catch an Uber. Truly can’t thank him enough for the entire experience!
We got married at Twin Oaks House & Garden in San Marcos, CA. We absolutely loved the venue and everything they could offer. We ultimately found Pete through our venue from their preferred vendor list. I always wanted to have a DJ who could not only DJ but also play an instrument. My dream was to have both a DJ and a band but we quickly learned that was not in our budget. However, when we came across Pete, we were ecstatic to learn that he played guitar! It was like a dream come true. He could DJ for the reception and play beautiful covers (and his own music!) during our cocktail hour and pre-seating. After having a brief initial conversation with him, we knew we just had to reserve Pete for our wedding. It was a no brainer!
Throughout the entire process, he was so helpful and attentive. He was quick to reach with questions, and would always make sure that if he couldn't give us a complete answer right then and there that he at least would text us and say "hey, I got your message, when I have more of a minute I will make sure to get you those answers," which was so nice of him to do. When it came to our meetings with him, he was so well experienced in the industry that it was like he knew all the answers to our questions. Any concerns or questions we had, he had the answer and if he didn't have an answer, he certainly would find us a solution.
For my wedding processional walk, I had a very specific way I wanted to do it, with pauses in the song lining up with pauses my dad and I would take so that when we arrived at the top of the aisle, my husband would turn around and we would have our first look. Pete helped us track it by foot and gave us an edited version of the song as well so it all lined up perfectly. It was such a beautiful moment, I can't wait to see how it turned out on video!
Throughout the wedding planning, my mom and I decided we wanted to do a mother/daughter mash up dance because we felt it was important for my mom to have a moment with me since historically the mom doesn't walk the daughter down the aisle or have a dance with them. When we came to Pete with our idea, he was so supportive. He not only helped curate the mash up with all the songs we wanted to incorporate, but he also helped make it a production the day of! Instead of just making the mash up have a scratch and then us begin dancing, he made it seem like something was actually wrong by saying "oh no I'm so sorry guys I think something happened, hold on, I'm so sorry," so that we had time to get into our positions. Our friends and family were SO surprised!! That little last second choice Pete decided to do on the spot was what totally sealed the deal and make it such a memorable moment.
Overall, if you are trying to find a DJ who: can play a musical instrument, has a charming personality, is attentive, supportive, and experienced, then you don't need to look any further. Pete is 100% your guy for the job. I promise you won't regret choosing Pete to help DJ/MC your event whether it's for a wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc. He's the overall best and we loved having him!
Pete helped make our wedding day PERFECT! While there are so many things he did to make sure our day ran smoothly, I want to highlight a few things:
- Live music! This was something that was SO important for my husband. Pete delivered. He not only played beautiful music on his guitar as guests were sitting down for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but he personally made sure that the music he played when my husband and I walked down the aisle was exactly what we wanted. At cocktail hour he did an amazing job of blending my style of music (lots of Jimmy Buffett) with my husband's choice of music (a smoother more 'adult alternative'). So many of our guests also loved the live music atmosphere!
- Timeline: Pete worked so well with all my vendors to make sure that our timeline was kept to. In addition, he advocated for my wants at the wedding day of when one of our vendors tried to move things around, I was lucky he was there as a voice for me. Pete also played a big role in making sure the timeline was stuck to, which was a lifesaver for me! - Names: I have been to a lot of weddings where the names of people get mispronounced, but Pete made sure to double-check all names with us ahead of time. -
Set Up/Clean Up: Pete made things so easy - he comes with all his own gear. I didn't have to worry about an umbrella for him, he had one. Extension cords? Pete had it. He's been in the business a long time and it really shows. The Mic set up for our beach ceremony worked out so well, there wasn't any wind noise or anything coming through the mic.
-Meetings: Having solid meetings with Pete 3-4 months out and a few weeks out was great. We felt like we already knew him when he arrived at the venue. I was comfortable talking with him and asking for requests, he was so accommodating in what we needed!
- Above and beyond: We had our hearts set on a song for a first dance. Our dance instructor insisted that we did not use that particular song because it just didn't work. We reached out to Pete to see if he could cut it to make it work, and he did! We were able to dance to one of our favorite songs due to Pete's talent.
We absolutely loved working with Pete and if we ever did it again, we would hire Pete again!
We had the pleasure of having Pete Goslow as the DJ, emcee, and musician for our Westin Carlsbad Resort wedding. He played an incredibly important role in the success of our big day. Pete wasn't just a DJ; he was a crucial part of our planning process. He educated us about the wedding timeline, helped us create a cohesive plan, and highlighted details we hadn't even considered. His guidance was invaluable and made our wedding day flow seamlessly.
His ability to curate a playlist that resonated with our taste but also kept all our guests entertained was remarkable. As an MC, he was engaging and kept the event moving smoothly. What made Pete stand out was not just his musical expertise but his personal touch and genuine care for our event, creating a unique and memorable experience.
We cannot recommend Pete Goslow highly enough!
Pete was a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He walked us through, step-by-step, what we needed to decide for the wedding. Though we had an idea of what we wanted, he offered excellent suggestions that helped us make our final decisions. I especially loved how he walked us through our selections for the day. Of all the vendors, including event coordination, Pete is the one who truly helped me envision how the day would proceed. It would be difficult to find a musician/DJ/MC to rival Pete's talent & professionalism. Thank you for making our special day absolutely perfect!!
Pete is the man!! Music, food and the energy of the couple are what people remember the most and Pete totally delivered on the music. He was so patient while I frantically tried to narrow down my music choices. I’ve always loved music, so it was challenging for me to make final decisions. More importantly I loved that he offers a combination of live music and DJing. It really helped complete the vibe.
Pete is incredibly organized, communicative, he offers great perspective. He’s got a calm energy, which is much appreciated if you’re a stressed out bride like I was 😂 thank you Pete for helping make our night so magical!! Don’t think twice, this is the guy you want for your wedding.
My husband and I hired Pete for our wedding and he did an amazing job! He was extremely helpful during the wedding planning process and providing us with a lot of great ideas. He really took the time to understand our music taste and exceeded our expectations. Myself and our guest were on the dance floor all night and that's because Pete does such a great job of reading the room. Thank you again Pete!
Pete was AMAZING! We received so many compliments on how he ran the music- from the seating to the end of the night. We had him sing an acoustic version of You & Me by Dave Matthews Band as the grooms’ walk and it was so perfect. We had him sing and play guitar during cocktail hour and everyone loved it! They thought it was actually a soundtrack! We chose a select few songs, and then just asked Pete to go with it. We liked mostly country but also understand some guests want different songs, and he was so accommodating and balanced everything perfectly. Pete made all the steps leading up to our wedding so easy and was very responsive. The day of our wedding, I did not have to worry about anything at all. He set up and just hit the ground running. Pete is so talented in his DJ skills as well as his singing and guitar playing. Highly recommend Pete for any wedding or event- you will have the best experience!
When we were planning our wedding, Pete was a vendor we didn’t have to worry about. He engaged in the planning process, his system was very easy yet detail oriented and everything was above and beyond on the day of! His acoustic sets during cocktail hour were complimented by many. He was able to read the room to keep the dance floor full and fun! Pete was one of our favorite vendors that weekend!
We are so happy Peter was available to DJ our wedding at the O'Donnell House in Palm Springs, CA. From the beginning, Peter was professional, responsive, and helpful. Planning a wedding from another state can be challenging but we were able to rely on him from the start. He was always a phone call, text, or email away with any questions or concerns that we might have had.
Having the right music is an important part of any event, especially your own wedding and Peter did not disappoint! We started planning the set list a couple months before the wedding and had several meetings leading up to the big day. He did an amazing job of balancing playing the songs we chose as well as reading the crowd of around 30 and incorporating different selections. Peter is an extremely talented and versatile musician and guitarist as well as DJ which was a huge plus! He played acoustic during the guests arrival and also during parts of the ceremony. Overall, we could not have been more pleased with the job that he did and would highly recommend him to anyone! We are so happy we chose Peter as the DJ for our wedding and also that he agreed to play for us. He is a great DJ as well as an amazing guy! Thank you Peter!
Working with Pete was fantastic from the onset to the finish. He incorporated everything we wanted, flexed well when things happened during the wedding, and, frankly, we couldn't have asked for better.
Although this was obviously not his first rodeo, it was ours and Pete's commitment to excellence made those portions of our wedding unforgettable.
Don't hesitate to hire him!
Thank you, Pete!
From the first conversation I had with Pete, I knew we’d be in good hands for our wedding. Pete is more than just a DJ. We really wanted to have some live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour but switch over to the DJ vibe at reception. Pete does both and it was perfect. He’s a wonderful musician. He took great care and time going through our timeline and music selection. I was pretty particular and asked for some specific versions of songs and he executed with perfection. Pete is friendly, communicative, easy going and so knowledgeable in the wedding industry. I didn’t have to stress about our music/sound one bit, which every bride needs a little less to worry about! I highly recommend Pete!
Pete was absolutely phenomenal entertainer for our wedding on July 31, 2022 in Oceanside, Ca. Everything went so smoothly, he’s incredibly communicative, and gives great direction to make sure our wedding happened exactly how we wanted it to. We really wanted live music mixed with our favorite songs and Pete was so accommodating and talented that he learned new songs for our ceremony. We highly recommend Pete for anyone’s wedding!
Pete was awesome! He was so fun, thoughtful and professional. He put up with some rainy weather on our wedding day, interacted with some of our rowdier guests and put together the perfect musical arrangement for our big day. Highly recommend!
We worked with Pete for our August 2022 wedding at Twin Oaks Trademark Venue in San Diego. From the beginning, he was very organized. We had an initial meeting so he could get to know us and the kind of music we wanted for our wedding. We also worked together to create a script and a play by play of the day, so we knew exactly what was going to happen and when. As a bride and groom trying to plan so many things, this was so helpful to have this planned so thoroughly. He also played his guitar during our cocktail hour and we got so many rave reviews from friends and family of how nice it was to have live guitar music. It added to the romantic setting of the venue! As a DJ, he was just as great. We had a full dance floor the entire night, and as the bride and groom, we had a blast on the dance floor. Thank you Pete for being so easy to work with and being such a great DJ/musician. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day.
DJ Pete was phenomenal to work with and really made our night super special. Our dance floor was LIT! HIRE HIM!
Pete is an amazing musician, and we were so lucky to have him play guitar and DJ at our wedding. He was so knowledgeable, organized, and professional throughout the entire planning process. Pete was able to create a beautiful atmosphere for the ceremony and cocktail hour with live classical guitar which truly elevated the experience. My husband and I were so happy with how everything came together.
Pete was also amazing at DJ’ing our reception - he definitely knows how to keep people dancing throughout the night. We got so many compliments on the music and the energy on the dance floor, all thanks to Pete! He was such a pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend him enough!!
Pete was amazing from the beginning! We hired him to do some DJ and also vocals with guitar playing. He was so patient with us as we had no idea what we were doing. He made time for us and made sure we understood everything. He was very professional and did such an amazing job on our wedding day. I wanted to make sure the music pleased all my guests as that was the
biggest complaint from my family at other weddings was the music so I wanted to make sure our music was spot on. We got to choose all of our songs and even got to choose songs that weren't in his library and he was totally okay with it. We made it the perfect musical wedding we desired. Pete is someone I'd hire again and recommend. Tons of positive reviews from my family.
Pete was great, everything went very smooth with him! We had him DJ for us and also play some guitar which everyone loved. He is very easy to work with and we would absolutely hire him again.
Pete was very quick to respond to any questions we had, and he was also very patient with us when we had a hard time making decisions about music. It was awesome to have him play live for our ceremony and then use a great mix of songs for our reception that kept everyone dancing all night long! It was perfect!
Our wedding was at Cape Rey Carlsbad, Pete helped us with our timeline and picking out songs. He is so patient and easy to work with. Also does live music and then DJ it was perfect. We would highly recommend him. Lori and Doug
This review is long overdue, and very well deserved. Pete was on the preferred list at our venue, and we chose him because he is both a DJ and a stellar musician. He played classical guitar for the ceremony, and worked from a carefully curated playlist for the reception. Music was a hugely important part of our wedding, and we have very particular tastes. Pete is incredibly well organized, and he took the time to truly understand our vision in order to make it a reality. Due to the pandemic, our wedding was planned on very short notice. We seized a small window of opportunity in the summer of 2021 to have a real wedding, but the last minute planning generated stress about everything coming together. Pete was not only an outstanding performer and DJ, but also helped to ease my anxieties from the first communication. He is talented, professional, and demonstrates a commitment to excellence in everything that he does. We were beyond pleased with his services and cannot recommend him highly enough.
DJ Pete was by far one our our favorite vendors to work with during the wedding planning process. He was extremely responsive and organized. Pete was recommended to us by another highly regarded DJ who was unavailable during our wedding, and it turned out to be an incredible blessing. Good music and having people dancing the whole time was of utmost importance to us. An incredible bonus of having Pete DJ the ceremony was that he is also an incredible classical guitarist. He played acoustic guitar as our attendants arrived at the wedding, and arranged a custom cover of our processional song! One of our favorite things about working with Pete was his website. It made it so easy to organize and choose the songs we wanted and didnt want played during the reception. Despite never having DJ'ed at our venue, La Chuerya in Palm Springs, Pete made sure to arrive early in the day to get a lay of the land and begin setting up a fairly complex speaker layout to cover all the areas of the property. In the end, we had one of the most active dance floors we've ever seen, and the music had an awesome flow until the climax at the very end. We would recommend DJ Pete to all our family and friends and hope to one day go to another wedding that he is playing the music and DJ-ing for!
Pete made our wedding so special. He was instrumental in helping us plan everything from timeline to playlist and provided helpful tips along the way to ensure our ceremony and reception were exactly what we wanted. He was incredibly easy to work with and had a great attitude which made the planning process super easy and fun. His guitar during our ceremony was exactly what we were looking for and our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without him! Could not recommend Pete more!!
We had an amazing experience with Pete as our DJ. He was very professional in everything he did and made sure we had the music and the experience we wanted on our big day. What we liked most about Pete was his timeliness and organization which made planning super easy and stress free. Not only were we able to pick from a large arranged of music he had put together on his website, but he also plays live music. Cannot recommend him more to anyone else who would like to use his services!
Pete was so wonderful to work with!! Due to covid we had an unique situation and did a smaller ceremony in 2020 followed by a big anniversary party in 2021- both times we used Pete as our musician/DJ/emcee! We had a phone call with him to go over all details for both events- he thought of so many details that I had not. He was thorough, easy to get in touch with and fun the day of! He is awesome on the guitar and we enjoyed his live music for our wedding in 2020 as well as during cocktail hour at our big reception. He also made sure the dance floor stayed full all night! We cannot thank Pete enough for all his hard work to make both our days so special and beautiful! We would 100% recommend to others :)
Pete helped us MAKE our wedding at Ethereal Gardens in Escondido, CA. He is meticulous and detailed in his work, as we had an incredibly helpful phone consultation with him laying out EVERY detail of the music timeline! He even could shorten songs and make it sound like they were ending/fading out in an organic way. Pete played and sang for our cocktail hour and our guests RAVED about Pete, as he has an incredible voice. He put so much detail and effort into his work/ our music timeline and seriously made the night AND he is so personable to work with. He is genuine and extremely knowledgeable about his craft. It was an absolute pleasure working with Pete for our wedding day and I would absolutely recommend him.
This review is long overdue.
My husband and I got married in July 2021. Pete made our wedding phenomenal! We still receive so many compliments about how fun our wedding was and our DJ/music! We have Pete to thank for that. He was very responsive with our emails and answered all of our questions. He is organized, detailed, and easy to get along with.
We had about an hour phone call with him prior to our wedding to go through the timeline and our song selection. The portal we had to use online was user-friendly and a huge help when it came to selecting our song choices. The day our wedding rolled around he made each song transition as smooth as can be. There were no mic errors or lull's in between sets as we have experienced at other weddings. During our reception, my sister-in-law had set up a surprise for us by having my husband's side of the family get up and dance during her speech. This was something Ryan and I were not expecting and she had completely set this up on the side with Pete without us knowing. It was fantastic and completely surprised us. It was a fun way to see our families get up and dance to along to the song "My House" by Flo Rida, officially welcoming me into their family. Additionally, some guests indicated they wanted more "late-night" music once the older folks left and he had no problem adding in some music that fit that criteria if you know what I mean. He was awesome!! We can't thank Pete enough and for helping us with dj'ing our wedding. We 100% recommend Pete and wish we could do our wedding all over again with him as our DJ!
Pete, THANK YOU!!
Love,
Katherine and Ryan Rystad

Great DJ! Very helpful in the planning stage and very flexible through the whole process. The day of was great. Live music during the ceremony was such a great touch and so convenient we didn't have to hire a separate band! DJ'ing was spot on. never a dull moment through out the night!
Pete was on the Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club’s Preferred Vendor List. We were looking for a musician, DJ and Emcee and Pete fulfilled all of those roles. After our initial conversation, we decided that Pete would be the perfect fit for us. He is professional and very detailed. He took time to help us fine tune our timeline and music selections.
During the wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour he played guitar with our music choices. During the dinner reception he kept the flow of the timeline while keeping our guests engaged.
Several of our guests were extremely complimentary on Pete’s performance as a musician and both as a DJ and Emcee. The DJ / Emcee is a critical part of the your reception and we would definitely recommend him!
Peter was amazing. He walked my wife and I through the whole process and his live music performance was incredible, all while being amazingly cordial, flexible, and accessible. I strongly recommend Pete for any DJ/live music needs.
Pete was an absolutely wonderful musician and DJ. He bent over backward to make sure every detail of our wedding at Desert Ridge Estate in Indio, CA was perfect. Seriously, Pete's attention to detail was like nothing we'd ever seen before. The music he played was a hit with everyone at the wedding and had the dance floor full all night. He also played instrumental guitar during the ceremony and absolutely nailed it. His assistant Jeremy was also very professional and helped the day run smoothly. Cannot recommend Pete highly enough to any couple looking to make their wedding as special as possible.
We were so lucky to be able to work with Pete for our wedding last year, and could not say enough great things about his professionalism and dedication to detail. He really spends a lot of time getting to know you, and has such an effortless way of know what is going to be a great fit for not just your style, but what your guests are going to love also. He is super easy to communicate with has such a wide variety of knowledge in music and is not just tuned to one style or his way of thinking/performing. He got to know us and delivered a cocktail hour/reception we dreamed of. Again, highly recommend and would book Pete again! -Jess and Bill
Pete was amazing at our wedding. We were looking for acoustic guitar and singer for the ceremony/cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception and with Pete we could get a two for one, and not only that but he was fantastic at both. He also is a great planner and really helpful in picking out song choices and coordinating timing. If you need a wedding DJ/guitarist you can confidently pick Pete and know it's going to be great.
We had Pete running the show from beginning to end and we could not have been happier with the performance he gave for our big day. He was listed as one of our preferred vendors for our venue at Twin Oaks House and Garden Estate so we knew he had to be good to make it on a list like boy did he deliver. He was super responsive when we first reached out and made the whole planning process a breeze. Music was something I was very particular about for our wedding and so it was probably the things that felt the most overwhelming as well. Pete has a great website set up that made the planning process not only soooooo much easier, but it actually made it a really fun experience for my now husband and I. He played acoustically and sang for our ceremony and our cocktail hour which was such an amazing touch and our guests still rant and rave about it to this day. Then he was able to completely switch gears into DJ mode for dinner and dancing and we never had an empty dance floor after that. Overall he was so easy to work with and such a sweet guy. We love his versatility and he was the exact touch we where looking for to make sure the entire ambiance of our big day was always dialed in exactly where we wanted it. He is super responsive and very sweet as well and crazy affordable for the amount of talent he brings to the table. Not mention he was fantastic and corralling and herding our drunk wedding party for our grand entrance and all subsequent events so he really is full of talent. Couldn't have been happier with the overall experience and couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you for everything, Pete!
