Trevor & Santa Cruz DJ Company was the perfect addition to our wedding! Trevor was so fun, kind, and interactive; and fully understood the assignment! Our guests had the best time listening to our songs from the moment they arrived at the ceremony, during dinner, and until the night's end. Trevor was very responsive leading up to the wedding and provided clear documents to ensure we had no worries for the day of. Trevor was also a great MC to ensure our day ran smoothly.
I'm looking for an excuse to hire them and have Trevor party with us again!
My husband and I both LOVE to dance and so do our family and friends so we knew the music at our wedding was really important. Our venue (Nestldown) provided us with a list of DJs that they had worked with from the past and Santa Cruz DJ Company was on it. Our venue is very selective of who they add to their vendor lists so we knew that they would be good. The thing that ended up deciding it for us was that when we visited their website they had a mix playing and we couldn’t stop grooving to it!
They have a lot of great DJs working for them so there was a good chance that they would have availability to work our wedding day and it gave us extra security to know that they would most likely have backup DJs available in case plans changed for some reason. They had lots of great options for things like extra uplighting and photo booths, which we didn’t end up adding on to our package but it was nice to know that we could.
They gave us a form to fill out so we could let them know what kind of music we wanted for different parts of the wedding. I really loved that they included a section for “Must Play” songs and another for songs we absolutely didn’t want to hear which I think is equally as important.
It ended up being a good thing that we picked out a company with built in backups because and unexpected scheduling conflict came up with our original DJ the week before our wedding. We stressed about it for like a second but the company and our backup DJ reached out right away and we felt very reassured. Scott Vaughn was assigned to DJ for us instead and he sent us an email and a voicemail to make sure we weren’t worrying about anything and to set up a meeting.
Maybe it was fate because we clicked with him right away during our phone call! He made sure to understand the vibes we were going for and when we told him maximizing dance time was our top priority, he made it his as well. Our allotted reception time wasn’t as long as we had initially wanted but he reassured us that us and our guests would get our fill of dancing and it wouldn’t feel too short.
He was right! The dance floor was never empty! He paid attention to our “must haves” and no no’s and let us know that we could always let him know if we weren’t feeling a song and he would change it. Which I don’t think actually ever happened but he was great about switching genres up at the right time to keep everyone happy. We had a very diverse crowd to cater to and he was able to play a little something for everyone while also keeping my husband and I on the dance floor the entire time which was the most important part. We and our guests had an amazing time and we left the venue very sweaty and tired but so so happy.
We hired Santa Cruz DJ Co for our wedding at Silverado Resort and were so happy with Scott! He was professional, communicative, fun, and kept our wedding timeline on track. The ceremony mics, cocktail hour, and reception music sounded perfect. He read the crowd flawlessly and had people on the dance floor all night. We decided to have him stay for our after party, which ended up being the best part of the night! Everyone had a blast and he played all the best songs. Thank you Scott for making our wedding unforgettable!
Josh provided music services for our wedding this past weekend. His sound system set up and transitions were perfect! We provided music vibes we were looking for and he matched them spot on. He was also great with communication during wedding planning. I highly recommend them for your event needs :)
DJ Trevor was everything and more! He brought the party and has great taste in music. He truly knows how to get the vibes before the wedding, during cocktail hour, dinner, or during the dancing. We couldn't recommend Trevor enough!
Santa Cruz DJ Company (Josh & Trevor) was absolutely fantastic — they listened to our wishes and delivered. We had a lot of small details around music and everything turned out perfectly. We couldn’t be happier!! If you’re looking for a quality, personable DJ, don’t hesitate to book them!
This was a great company to work with! One of the owners, Trevor, was our DJ for our wedding. The process was very easy, with a form to fill out for all song requests for the day. The audio was good for the ceremony, and everything went very smoothly. The dance floor was popping the whole evening! Trevor was great to work with.
Trevor was our wedding DJ and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
First of all, he’s a cool guy and fun to be around. Very professional.
He killed it with the MCing and even double checked with some of our bridal party to make sure he was pronouncing names right. He honored our song list and captured the vibe we wanted very well. He has an INSANE ability to gauge the mood of a crowd and switched it up when needed to make sure the dance floor was full. It was such a blast and nobody wanted it to end!
He even captured a special moment on video of us up on stage with him (memories we will have forever).
All around awesome and skilled DJ, good guy, and great company to work with. Thanks a million, Trevor!
SCDJ was incredible in helping my wedding go off without a hitch. So organized, so calm, we even had people asking us if Trevor was our coordinator! He was just awesome. The ceremony music and sound system was perfect, as well as coordination when it came time to announce us into dinner, start on speeches, and our first dance. During cocktail hour, people were coming up to us complimenting the music! We then had the best dance party I’ve even been a part of, where he took requests, and played music off of the very long list of songs that my husband and I sent him. The lighting in the space was also incredible! After the wedding, he helped coordinate a silent disco for the wedding party and even let some of my up and coming DJ friends DJ for a bit. Would highly recommend for your wedding, it made a huge difference for us.
Joshua did a fantastic job. We had a smaller wedding (54 guests) and he played great music all night that kept our guests out on the dance floor. His music choices throughout cocktail hour and the reception were also spot on. Highly recommend Santa Cruz DJ Company for any event.
My husband and I have a very eclectic taste in music and were worried we wouldn’t be able to find someone fit for the task. Scott from Santa Cruz DJ Company really knocked it out of the park for us! They kept the dance floor filled all night long!! We also appreciated the care and understanding on how to mic up our ceremony (our groomsmen played guitars live). All the guests raved on how easy it was to hear us throughout the ceremony.
AMAZING DJ company! Would highly recommend them and their Photo booth option. We had Scott as our DJ at the Waterfall Lodge and he crushed it! We wanted a more unique playlist than the lame classic wedding music that is over played in our opinion. I told Scott what we were looking for in regards to our cocktail hour, dinner and reception with only a few songs to go off of and it was everything we dreamed of. He read the crowd perfectly by playing a few throw backs (the good ones that aren't over played) from time to time to include everyone and all ages along with the house music we were wanting. Everyone had a blast. This company also knew our wedding venue like the back of their hand and setup seemed to be a breeze for them without any issues. Thanks so much Scott!!! 😍
We highly recommend using Santa Cruz DJ Company for your wedding music! Our DJ, Louie, was absolutely AMAZING!! Prior to our big day, Louie talked to us about our vision and shared a little background on himself. He was beyond helpful throughout our wedding and often asked us if there was anything he could do to help. We had so many guests that said “This DJ is amazing!” or “This is the best wedding DJ ever!” He played a great mix of songs and encouraged people of all ages to get out there on the dance floor. From our 92 year old grandma to our 7 year old niece, everyone had a great time. We cannot recommend Santa Cruz DJ company and Louie enough!
Santa Cruz DJ Company was amazing. They were professional and provided great service. Scott was the DJ for our wedding, and he kept the guests entertained and the music flowing. He constantly checked in with us throughout the evening and made adjustments as needed. Our guests danced all night long.
I also recommend booking the photo booth, which is an option in your package. Everyone had so much fun with it and the photos are a great extra memento of your event.
My husband and I booked Santa Cruz DJ for our wedding and we had an absolute blast working with them. They were extremely responsive and professional, flexible throughout the planning process, and delivered exactly what we wanted for our event. Kamau was our DJ for the wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the energy and music he brought to the day. He was so friendly and laid back, and everything seemed to just flow so effortlessly throughout all phases of the wedding and reception. We can’t say enough positive things about Santa Cruz DJ and highly recommend them for your event! Thank you guys!!
Scott was the DJ/MC for our wedding in June and choosing SCDJ Company for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. I told our wedding planner that I wanted a dance party and music was high on my list of importance and her response was you need to book SCDJ. Thankfully they were available for our date. Scott was incredible and nailed the vibe and music selection we wanted for our wedding. He really pays attention to the vibe and the guests and mixes it up to keep the party going. All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and could not stop telling us how much fun they had (and sore they were the next day ha!). I would not hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend them!
In the world of weddings, we consider ourselves pros with two passions: music and libations. So, when it came to choosing a DJ for our big day, our expectations were sky-high. Enter Josh, the maestro behind the beats, and did he bring the house down!
From the get-go, Trevor and Josh exuded professionalism. This company has detailed system of planning and their infectious enthusiasm got us even more pumped for our celebration. And let's be honest, bc we work in the industry we've heard our fair share of wedding DJs, but none quite like those from Santa Cruz DJ Company.
Ceremony music? Nailed it. Dinner tunes? Perfection. But where Josh truly shines is where the real magic happened – the dance floor. Picture this: Generally poised Brother Ben's jaw-dropping breakdancing moves stealing the spotlight one moment, and then our older aunties throwing down unexpected grooves the next. The energy was lit!
In a world where wedding playlists can be predictable and formulaic, Josh proved to be a true music master, orchestrating an unforgettable symphony of sound that resonated deeply with us and our guests. He not only met our high standards but raised the bar to new heights.
We told Josh we were all about the non-traditional vibes, and boy, did he deliver. He spun a musical web that had everyone, from the youngest hipsters to the coolest silver foxes, moving like never before. The lodge turned into a joyful carnival of sound that perfectly matched our eclectic tastes.
Josh, you took our wedding to levels of awesome we didn't even know existed. Thanks for making our day an absolute blast, and for proving that when it comes to music and memories, you're in a league of your own.
Warmly,
Olana + Rusty
Scott did an absolutely wonderful job as DJ/MC for our wedding! The sound level and quality for the music and mics at our ceremony was perfect. After providing him with just a few artists and genres that we liked, he curated a full set of music for each segment of our reception that felt incredibly true to our tastes in music, with transitions that felt smooth and natural. Scott was also great about guiding us and our guests through the mini events during the reception (the introductions, the toasts, the cake cutting, etc.). He made sure we all knew what was happening and that we were ready to go before moving forward. Our event ran so smoothly and maintained a beautiful sense of celebration, love, and joy all throughout the day, which was due in no small part to Scott's professionalism and kindness. Additionally, booking through SCDJ was easy and they were always responsive to our emails. We recommend SCDJ wholeheartedly, and can't thank Scott enough!
Scott at the SCDJ company was simply amazing! From the moment we started working with him, we felt that we were in capable hands and he went above and beyond making sure that we had nothing to worry about during the wedding itself. He was flexible with our song lists, constantly checked in to make sure we didn't need anything during the reception, created a seamless sound experience, and kept the dance floor going non-stop. I even had multiple guests reach out after the wedding saying how much they enjoyed interacting with Scott directly at the ceremony and reception.
Seriously, it goes a long way on the day of to have someone you can trust and who you truly believe is there to just do whatever they can to help. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
Thank you Scott!
Trevor and his team were INCREDIBLE. I cannot recommend them enough for any kind of event you are having. Trevor Dj’d our wedding day and he caught onto the vibe of everyone quick and made it such a fantastic evening. The amount of compliments we received about him afterwards were insane. We would have had him play all night long for us if we could have. Thank you SCDJ company for making our wedding day amazing!!
We are so grateful we booked with Santa Cruz DJ. Trevor was so professional – he artfully blended my partner and I’s music preferences (soul/funk and more pop/r&b). The dance floor was popping and full of very heartful dancers. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with. My mom has commented to me several times how friendly our DJ Trevor was. Highly recommend you select Santa Cruz DJ company for your wedding!
Julia & Daniel
Book book book! The entire experience with SC DJ company was incredible. Amazing communication—timely, clear, and accommodating to all of my (many) questions. We specifically booked Trevor and he was AMAZING! Best energy and never a dull moment. Every aspect of the sound and photobooth experience was incredibly smooth.
Thank you Trevor and team for making our wedding unforgettable!!
Joshua was the DJ for our wedding. We got several quotes and they had the best package and best pricing.
The pre-event consultation was simple and helpful.
They did a great job setting up audio and music for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and the dancing afterwards.
Very impressed with the professionalism. Would highly recommend!
Trevor was absolutely incredible. We hired him for our wedding, and we and our guests could literally not stay off the dance floor. Dancing lasted 4 hours! We got so many compliments from our guests on the quality of DJing and MCing. We highly, highly recomment Santa Cruz DJ company & Trevor for your event. Seriously the best part of my life-- no exaggeration!
I cannot stress this enough: Scott was a freakin' blast!! We are so grateful for the energy and fun he brought to our wedding. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun they had, and it really shows in all the photos. Being a gay wedding, we also asked for the music to lean heavily into iconic dance music over the decades, and we were not disappointed. Thank you Scott so much for listening to us and delivering the exact reception vibe we wanted!
Hands down the best from the start of planning to the end of the celebration. Willing to work with you if you want to play your own songs or will totally take that over if not. Very professional. Music is such a huge part of weddings, Santa cruz DJ is top notch and will deliver.
Santa Cruz DJ was phenomenal! Scott was our DJ and he couldn't have been more amazing. He helped create a reception that was truly magical. He consulted with us on our music list and run of show before the event and then did such a wonderful job as emcee for the night that I got a ton of comments and compliments from our guests on how fantastic the evening was and how wonderful he was. Highly recommend.
We are a COVID wedding couple that hired Santa Cruz DJ Company. Given that we got married during a pandemic, we had an unfortunate situation where our DJ and their backup happened to get COVID days before our wedding. When Trevor called to let us know this, he already had a solution! He arranged for another local company that he trusted to step in. The days leading up to your wedding can be so stressful, so we were glad that Trevor came to us with a solution, rather than a problem. My husband and I were so impressed with Trevor's professionalism!
ter reading the reviews on here and the amount of positive remarks about Trevor, we were very excited when we learned he’d be the one DJ’ing our September wedding in Carmel Valley! Trevor did a great job and everyone had so much fun - the dance floor was consistently packed and we all had an amazing time!
We also used the photo booth provided by SCDJ which was an easy add-on and there was a line for it all night! We bought a custom template for the prints on Etsy and SCDJ uploaded it with no issue. Thank you Trevor and SCDJ!
We hired Santa Cruz DJ Company for our daughter's wedding at Sequoia Retreat Center in Ben Lomond, CA. Trevor was our DJ of choice and he did an excellent job! He was very patient with the bride and groom who were hard to get a hold of and late in filling out the planning document. Trevor never pressured them and just helped them get it done.
Trevor was very professional in his attire, presentation, and master of ceremony duties. The sound quality of his equipment was top notch!
I really enjoyed the entire experience with Trevor, and would highly recommend him for any DJ needs you may have!
Trevor is a master MC and he absolutely killed it at our wedding. He is THE best DJ I have ever heard and also just a really nice guy. He's an ultimate professional and everything went so smoothly for our day. From coordinating my fiancé and our string quartet to play his guitar and serenade me during my procession, from all the announcements and mics, to of course the most epic dance party ever. The music was on point and it couldn't have been better. Our wedding was perfect and Trevor and his crew made it possible. Thank you so, so much!
We are so happy we chose Santa Cruz DJ Company to be a part of our wedding. Trevor was amazing – he is such a kind person, and it is very clear that he loves his job. He worked with our music requests incredibly well for both the ceremony and reception, and created such a great atmosphere for all of our guests out on the dance floor. He went out of his way to check in with us after we returned back to the reception site for cocktail hour, making sure we were happy and taken care of – he even asked for our drink requests and rushed them out to us so we could enjoy some sips before heading off for pictures again. His energy is vibrant and infectious, and he kept everyone smiling all night. A huge thank you to Trevor for helping create such wonderful memories!
I can't recommend Scott @ Santa Cruz DJ Company enough. We had our initial call with Trevor, he answered all our questions with ease and we loved his energy and down to earth spirit. He said we'd be in good hands with Scott Vaughn as our Wedding DJ and he DID NOT LIE. From the very beginning the process was so so easy with a Google Doc to add our Spotify playlists and make sure all our "must play" songs were added. Scott was totally open to letting me be a complete control freak over the music. He executed everything perfectly! Scott was one of our most raved about vendors, as all our friends could not get over how dope his transitions were from song to song. It was also great to look over and see him singing along and having a good time with us. We take music pretty seriously so it was definitely cool to see he enjoyed our music selections. Also, his personality was just 10/10, such a gracious and kind spirit, he definitely fit the vibe of our wedding. He was also the very last vendor to pack up and leave for the night, and even let us use his speaker to keep the party going while he broke down his gear. If you hire Santa Cruz DJ Company, definitely ask for Scott Vaughn!
Trevor and his team are the ultimate professionals. They are easy to communicate with, timely, and worked incredibly well with our other vendors for our wedding in Carmel-by-the-Sea this past weekend. We selected Trevor to DJ at our wedding. He played all our requested songs for our cocktail hour and dinner service. Our specialty dances were trimmed and faded out at all the perfect times. Additionally, he took many of our requested songs and genres and seamlessly created an incredible mix for the reception that catered to all of our guests. Lastly, Trevor made my wife and me feel super comfortable and supported by periodically checking in with us throughout the evening to ensure everything ran smoothly.
We received several compliments from our wedding guests about how much they loved the music! Trevor and his team also accommodated a semi-last-minute request for a photo booth with complete ease. If you need a DJ for any event from the Bay to Carmel, please support this family-owned and operated business!
We are so happy we had Trevor as our wedding DJ! He was so easy to work with and such a fun presence at our wedding. I sent him a couple of playlists and he seamlessly added in songs to fill out the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing time. We were so impressed by the way he perfectly timed the first dance and parent dance songs, the ceremony song, and each individual song during dancing so that they started at just the right time and never went too long. We got so many compliments on the amazing DJ! Thank you so much, Trevor — we highly recommend Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ to anyone planning a wedding or other event!
My husband and I got married at the end of June 2022. Trevor was our DJ, and he was absolutely incredible. He did an amazing job of getting everyone of all ages out on the dance floor. SO many of our guests commented on how great our DJ was all weekend and people are still talking about it. But not only is Trevor a talented DJ, he is also a wonderful person. I knew within minutes of talking to him back in 2020 that we were going to hire him. It was immediately evident that he is so kind and genuine. He was more than willing to answer all of my questions and is very responsive. And really, it felt more like talking to a friend than a business interaction. On the day of our wedding, he went above and beyond, even bringing drinks out to us while we were taking photos. I seriously cannot recommend Santa Cruz DJ Company and Trevor enough!!
Trevor knew exactly the right energy to bring to our wedding! His process to select music was simple, easy, and if you had questions he was available to help with suggestions. He was very kind and respectful to everyone, he even helped get myself and the bride beverages when we were doing our post ceremony photos. As soon as he started up the music for our reception there were people on the dance floor! Trevor makes you feel like your day is the most important day to him as well, even though we know he is booked up and busy with plenty of clients!
Our DJ, Scott, was incredible! He kept our wedding schedule on track the whole day. The folks who gave toasts were impressed by how helpful he was getting them ready for their big speeches. With his song selection and transitions all our wedding invitees were out on the dance floor until it was time to head home! If you want a big dance party - definitely work with Santa Cruz DJ Company!!
I'll say the same thing everyone else is. Santa Cruz DJ company and Trevor, our DJ and the Owner, are amazing! They are obviously pros and make the whole process seamless. Trevor was knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. I had a lot of ideas for playlists and he was able to make them all happen. We sent him MP3 files for our walk down the aisle and he incorporated everything perfectly. It was special for me to hear all the music I hand picked and to know he would put his own spot on things and make sure he got everyone dancing. Thank you Trevor! You are awesome.
OMG! Did we have a BLAST dancing the night away at our daughter's wedding! Santa Cruz DJ Company was incredible. If we ever need another DJ for a family event, they will be our only option. The DJ did an incredible job handling a very difficult situation during the wedding when a guest became ill. Absolute professional service...THANK YOU!
Trevor was the DJ for our wedding and did an amazing job! Throughout the whole process, he was easy to communicate with, organized, professional, and personable. He knew exactly what to do and we had many compliments on the music throughout the wedding. Our guests had so much fun on the dance floor thanks to Trevor's mix of songs. We highly recommend SCDJ, and specifically Trevor!
People stayed out on the dance floor until the LAST SONG! DJ Louie was awesome. He created a playlist that perfectly fit our personalities & kept people dancing all night long! Santa Cruz DJs were the best!
Santa Cruz DJ was THE BEST! We hired them for our wedding, and Josh was our DJ. Josh brings all the good vibes!
We like pretty unconventional dance music (think Lightening in a Bottle/Dirtybird/Do LaB vibes) and wanted mostly that played, plus some groovy 70s tunes.. sprinkled with some pop songs earlier in the night that all the guests could enjoy… maybe some old 2000s rap if the vibe was right… and a ‘spontaneous’ soul train to break out at some point… you know, just totally common, uncomplicated requests hahaha.. But all those crazy requests are exactly what we were hoping for and Josh completely nailed it! I’m positive most people would have felt like all our odd requests made us major pain-in-the-ass clients to work with, but Josh was soo cool and supportive of all our weird ideas, and was down to help make it all happen.
They gave us an awesome worksheet to fill out that broke down each part of the wedding and what songs we wanted for every part of the day, which was SUPER organized and cool. We had my cousin sing the song that I walked down the aisle to, and Josh was so helpful and worked with us to coordinate what mics were needed and everything. Then we wanted a song to be timed with our first kiss - like in the sandlot when Squints kisses Wendy Peffercorn - and Josh knew exactly what we were talking about and made that happen too! We had crazy last minute rain and needed to move the entire wedding indoors just a day before the wedding and Josh was so kind and easy going and helped make it all work for us - just totally stress free.
I’m beyond grateful for everything Josh did for us to make our wedding totally amazing. If you want someone who is fun to work with, cares about customizing your day to fit you, super chill, and goes above and beyond for you, look no further, Josh and Santa Cruz DJs got you!
Scott was our wedding DJ and absolutely killed it. He flawlessly executed the music for the entire day and we had so many people remark about how fun the dance floor music was. Throughout the process, Santa Cruz DJ Company was fantastic to work with -- very accommodating and knowledgeable and responsive. We'd work with this company again in a heartbeat!
DJ Louie did an amazing job at our wedding. We had an eclectic mix of music that we wanted and he took what we liked and worked with it beautifully! We had a loooong night of dancing and the dance floor was NEVER empty. People raved about the music and Louie was a pleasure to work with!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I am still in recovery mode from the wedding. Everything Trevor Williams did was beyond my imagination. Everyone has been raving how outstanding of a job he did gauging the crowd and the music. Because of him, Our wedding was perfect!!!
From the moment I filled out a request info form over a year in advanced for my wedding. Trevor was incredibly quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the information he provided!!! We ended up booking Santa Cruz DJ company and Trevor Williams. When my day finally arrived, I felt like I had known him forever. Friendly and outgoing!!! We appreciate him and his business! Thank you again!!
Trevor was our DJ for our wedding at Roaring Camp and he was amazing! We received so many compliments about him both during and after the wedding for being a super DJ and all-around great guy.
Pre-wedding: Trevor was super responsive and extremely organized. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and it was clear from the beginning he would be a good fit for our celebration.
Ceremony: He was prepared with all necessary mics and made sure everything (Officiant, Readings, Vows) was at the right volume level. Music during the recessional was timed perfectly as well.
Cocktail Hour/Dinner: Trevor followed our specific playlist for music and mixed it perfectly. He had a mic waiting for us at the head table for welcome speeches and the toasts were perfectly clear.
Reception: Trevor freaking killed it with the dance music. We only had a few must-play and nice-to-play songs, and he incorporated them flawlessly into one of the best dance mixes I've heard at a wedding! He also made sure no song overstayed its welcome--as soon as something started losing the room, he expertly transitioned to another (while giving a little extra time to our must-plays). He made it tough to ever leave the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted!
Trevor did an incredible job. We can't recommend him highly enough.
I wish there were more stars to give Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ Company! We love to dance, so having a great DJ was a high priority. We shared some of our favorite music, and he made the best playlist that got everyone on the dance floor. He's super professional and helpful and will be sure to give you the dance party of your dreams. Thank YOU so much for being such a massive part of our day and making it one that we'll never forget!
We hired Josh to DJ our wedding and he was amazing from start to finish. We worked together to create playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner service, and the reception. He was outstanding. I would highly recommend using Santa Cruz DJ Company for any and all events. Josh was absolutely FANTASTIC! I cannot say enough about how smooth everything went and how people raved about the music for weeks!
3 days post-wedding, and my guests still have NOT stopped talking about my DJ. Trevor was absolute perfection start to finish, he was so easy to work with and immediately put us at ease that he would carry out our vision & make it a million times better. He took all kinds of curve balls we threw at him and knocked it out of the park! We had a wild idea to have a live brass band play along with our DJ and he jumped all over it and made it HAPPEN, and it was such a show stopper. Trevor had the most infectious positive attitude on the day of our wedding, and I can’t even tell you how much of a difference that made in my guests’ experience. He was having (almost) as much fun as we were, and everyone commented on how patient and NICE he was when anyone had a song request or question for him. That really set the tone for the dance floor. And most importantly, oh man did he NAIL the set list. I’ve never been at a wedding where the DJ absolutely nailed the vibe so well, he kept the party going well past midnight and there were zero dud songs. He took our very meager guidance on the type of music we liked/didn’t like and totally just *got it*. Seriously, half my guests have asked for his name and Instagram to hire him for their own weddings. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Trevor!!
DJ Trevor was a HIT at our wedding. He seamlessly looped our processional song, he kept things moving in an organic non intrusive way, and most importantly he ROCKED it on the dance floor. My husband and I have countless favorite memories from the dance floor, I literally never stopped dancing except to run for more beer. Multiple guests have commented on how good Trevor was at reading the room and creating a good vibe & flow to the dance music. Can I also say that he’s just a super cool guy personally? He was genuinely happy for us and we truly enjoyed having him there as part of the celebration.
Trevor was an amazing DJ for our wedding! You can take as hands-on or hands-off of an approach as you'd like. We chose to take more of a hands-off approach (we were super stressed and busy!) and sent over only a few songs that were representative of the vibe we were looking for. Even with our limited guidance, Trevor pulled off an amazing playlist! He kept the party going with lots of energy, and every time a new song played I thought, "I love this song! How did he know?!?"
Trevor was a true professional, knew exactly where to set up and when to set up. I did not have to worry about the music or MCing that day, which was exactly what I needed and was looking for!
Highly recommend Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ Company for your wedding.
We absolutely LOVED working with SC DJ Co. They were so easy to work with from the start and truly blew us away at our actual wedding. After a COVID postponement, we had crazy rain on our wedding day and Trevor was so calm and helpful with things that didn't even relate to him and his "duties". Trevor also did an incredible job with curating our playlist... our guests had SO much fun dancing! He also put together a custom mash-up for our father-daughter dance and it was PERFECT! Josh was fantastic with MC-ing and facilitating the projector and speakers for our rehearsal dinner. And of course, their photo booth was SO fun and left us with priceless memories. Their pricing is totally reasonable and their contracting/payment process are very easy with everything being processed online. I wish I could host all my events in the SC area so I could hire SC DJ Co. again and again and again!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for helping make our wedding day the best day ever! Santa Cruz DJ Company was such a pleasure to work with during the planning process, and Kamau was absolutely AMAZING on our day!!
Kamau was our perfect DJ match, fitting our personality and vibe 100%! He handled the ceremony music seamlessly, and then helped set the tone for the cocktail hour, dinner and especially kept us all dancing through the night!
Can’t imagine working with another DJ company and especially another DJ during our special day! We had such a perfect mix of professional yet laid back and super cool vendors and Kamau was just amazing! :)
Santa Cruz DJ was outstanding to work with! Trevor encapsulates what it means to be a DJ...he was attentive, professional yet incredibly personal, and brought the PARTY to the dance floor with all the bangers! We even had the opportunity to help curate our playlists to give our wedding a flair that fit our personalities and made our day that much more meaningful. In addition, we also used their photo booth service called The Booth Biz! Trevor's wife Mia ran that for us and all of our guests had a blast! These guys are the best and you need to book them now!
Santa Cruz DJ is the best company around! As a wedding planner, I have worked with several of their DJ’s (love them all) and recently had the pleasure of having Trevor for my own wedding!
I literally did not get off the dance floor all night and all of my friends commented on how epic the playlist was. He is professional, easy to work with and so talented at coming up with an insane playlist that was tailored to both my husband and I (as we tend to have different ideas of dance music at times).
Their DJ’s are also so great at being the emcee throughout the night.
I cannot suggest this company enough, we love Santa Cruz DJ!
The team from Santa Cruz DJ company was timely in their responses to our inquiry about wedding music services. They had planning documents that made it easy for us to pick music we liked and have it all in one place. On the wedding day, Josh definitely kept the party going when it came time for dancing. Each song seamlessly moved into the next. Even prior to dancing Josh was on top of the timeline, letting us know what was coming up, where we needed to be, and also conscious of the fact that we needed to eat! All of our guests kept commenting on the quality of our vendors and they loved the music. It was a blast!! Anyone looking for a DJ should 100% reach out to SCDJC because they rock!
I am a Wedding Planner turned Bride, and have worked with SCDJC for more than 80% of my Client's Weddings. Recently, DJ Mat was our DJ for our Wedding at Bernardus 9.24.21. They are simply the most dialed DJ Company in the Biz. Not only is the Dance Music great and customized to our desires, but every aspect of the sound and announcements and orchestrating the Timeline (which is so crucial on a Wedding Day!) is always incredibly seamless. They are incredibly knowledgeable in sound, experienced in Weddings, and a sharp, dialed, reliable group every time. Thank you DJ Mat for the perfect Wedding Day, and thank you to the whole team at SCDJC for the flawless events over the years.
Santa Cruz DJ company did an amazing job for our wedding. I can say confidently that they were the most talked about part of our wedding. Our friends planning their wedding even asked Trevor for his contact info mid-celebration. Trevor really took our music recommendations to heart and adjusted the music based on the people on the dance floor. We will definitely recommend SCDJC to friends and family hosting an event in the future.
WONDERFUL. When my husband and I got engaged, the first vendor we reached out to once we had our date was Santa Cruz DJ Company. We have now been to 3 family and friend weddings with Santa Cruz DJ company playing, and every single one has been so much fun. Trevor replied to every question I asked faster than any other vendor, and was extremely supportive and accommodating with the shifts that happened to our wedding due the pandemic. He is organized, thoughtful, and helpful in ensuring that all your music for the day is exactly what you have in mind (and I love a good google doc for organization, which they use!). He even helped us get set up last minute with a photo booth!! On the actual day, Trevor went above and beyond what you would typically expect from a DJ - he checked in with us throughout the night on the flow of events, got us drinks (!), and kept us on schedule while creating room for flexibility in areas where it was needed. The music was SO GOOD, all of our guests raved about it, and my husband and I never left the dance floor all night. Including during the final hour, we asked pretty last minute if Trevor knew of anyone who did Silent Disco, and of course he immediately replied letting us know he had a set of headphones and we could do that for the last hour. Highly recommend, it was a huge hit and it was the best part of the night and our guests are still talking about it.
My husband and I have been to many weddings together - with both DJs and bands - and Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ company take the cake. We can't thank them enough!
Amazing. Santa Cruz DJ made our September 2021 wedding in Aptos, CA absolutely magical. They were very flexible and helpful with all of the pre-planning and then also helped us after our wedding by sharing the playlists that they used during our event. Highly recommend!
Trevor was the DJ at a wedding I attended and he was soooooooo good. He kept us dancing the whole time. The dance floor literally never cleared. He was super personable and fun to work with, had a great selection of tunes and didn't rely on all of the standards that you always hear at weddings. Very professional, very awesome. I would pay money to go to a Trevor dance party again. It was so much fun!
Can't say enough about how wonderful Santa Cruz DJ Company is! From start to finish they provide excellent service and a quality job. Trevor was instrumental in putting together our first dance "mashup" track, which really added to our wedding fun. He is a great emcee and really flawless at what he does. He kept things flowing with little or no effort required from us. I felt comfortable the whole night knowing that with his expertise everything was totally under control. Trevor is very personable and kept the music popping. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor and everyone had such a great time. I would highly recommend Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ Company for any event you may be planning. Thanks so much Trevor for making our dream wedding so very special!
Trevor is AMAZING and someone you just want to instantly have on your team! He made our wedding so memorable! He was so easy to talk to, the music was exactly what we wanted and he got plenty of people dancing and stoked to get the party started! He went with the flow when we had to change the agenda and rolled with it! Legend! 10/10 would recommend for any event you are having and will be booking him in the future! Thank you Trevor! You killed it!
We hired Santa Cruz DJ for our July 2021 wedding and would hire Trevor and his team again in a HEARTBEAT for any event in the future!
In the planning stages, Trevor was SO pleasant to work with and made sure to understand what we wanted, and what we definitely did not want and made sure to keep everything organized that had a specific song or toast for the wedding to go smoothly. When I told him that we wanted to mix 2 different songs into one for the Father/Daughter dance, he without hesitation offered to do that for us and delivered it in enough time to get some practice in before the wedding!
From the ceremony, to dinner to the reception, he was amazing. He knows how to read a crowd and make sure everyone is having a good time - there wasn’t a single moment once it started that the dance floor wasn’t full of people! To make the night even more special, he coordinated with our photographer to make my (former ameteur dj) husband’s wedding dream come true of getting behind the DJ booth to play some songs! We HIGHLY recommend Santa Cruz DJ if you want to have an amazing party and easy-going DJ to work with!
revor and Santa Cruz DJ Company did an amazing job at our wedding! So happy we went with them. We had a lot of specific asks (e.g. custom script for the grand entrance, playing of certain sections of songs, etc.) but they were able to accommodate everything seamlessly. I was initially a bit nervous because we never got to do a full on rehearsal the day before the wedding, but Trevor nailed everything on the big day. The planning process was incredibly straightforward as well. He gave us a Google Doc to fill out with all the key sections and was super helpful with any questions we had along the way. When we decided to add a photo booth relatively last minute, he connected us with someone else at the company to coordinate photo booth customizations, which was also super straightforward and seamless. We can't thank them enough for making our dream wedding come to life. Can't recommend them enough! Thank you Trevor and team!
Josh and Trevor were AMAZING! We hired Santa Cruz DJ Company to DJ and MC our wedding and could not have been happier. Our guests were raving about the music and they both made it so easy throughout the whole process. I was struggling with selecting song choices for our ceremony so I reached out to Trevor to see if he had any suggestions. He took the time to hop on a call with me to talk me through what I was looking for and then sent over multiple playlist he’s used before. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for any upcoming events!
We hired Santa Cruz DJ for our wedding and had a wonderful experience! Music was a very important factor for us, so we made our DJ selection carefully and were not disappointed.
Like many couples, the pandemic interfered with our original wedding plans, leading us to go through 1 big postponement and multiple guest count changes. Trevor was flexible, communicative and understanding throughout the process. Trevor really put in effort in advance to make sure he understood our plans and what we wanted. He is truly talented, and managed to understand our music taste perfectly from the list of requests we gave him and to keep people dancing throughout the reception. I really appreciated him checking in with us throughout the night and keeping things running so smoothly. He's also just a pleasant, nice guy! I would 100% recommend Santa Cruz DJ for your wedding or any other event.
Working with Santa Cruz DJ was a professional and stress-free experience, especially as we were trying to navigate postponing our 2020 wedding. Trevor and his team were supportive and flexible, and come the actual wedding day, everyone had such a blast! Mat DJ-ed our wedding; when we first met him for an introductory chat, he completely understood the music and ambience we were looking for! In preparation for the reception, we were provided a google sheet to fill out select songs, themes, genres of music to play during each event. While we jotted down a few ideas, we really felt like Mat totally nailed the music themes and choices throughout the evening. We (including our guests) had a such wonderful time on the dance floor and Mat knew how to read the room perfectly. We highly recommending Santa Cruz DJ Company for your wedding music!
Working with Trevor from SCDJ was a really smooth experience. We booked about a year in advance during the lockdowns etc and then didn't really think about it until a few weeks before the wedding. We were really lazy/minimal about giving Trevor musical inspiration on the form but he did an amazing job of turning that into a great playlist for both the cocktail as well as dancing parts of our reception. We only decided to have dancing a few days before the wedding and Trevor was totally cool with it. Our ceremony audio was also flawless. Would totally recommend SCDJC!
We feel truly lucky to have had a wedding that didn’t feel like a covid wedding and a big reason why it was so much fun was because of the music! We shared with Scott our suggestions of what we like and what we wanted included and he 100% understood what vibe wanted. Also we had a unique first dance and he was very flexible and worked with us to make sure we had what we needed to perform! Icing on the cake was how personable and friendly both Trevor and Scott were - thanks to them we had an amazing night we won’t ever forget!
DJ SantaCruz was extraordinarily unique in that they communicated whenever needed, they were professional and played special music for the bride and groom that was well received by all the guests. Guests also asked about them !! You will NOT be disappointed! Mary Anne Pereira
We hired Santa Cruz DJ for our wedding a month before our wedding as our original DJ had an accident. DJ Josh came highly recommended and we were glad he was able to DJ our wedding. He was professional and kept the dance floor full the whole night! We really enjoyed the music and liked his flexibility and adaptability to our taste in music. Overall excellent DJ!
Santa Cruz DJ was so easy to work with. We highly recommend hiring Santa Cruz DJ for any wedding/party DJ needs. We mostly communicated with Trevor (owner), he was always very prompt and professional. Trevor was also incredibly flexible and so easy going when it came to us changing our entire venue 3 months before our wedding (bc of COVID). We had a great conversation with Thomas, our DJ prior to our wedding and quickly knew he would do an awesome job. Talk about an understatement, Thomas made our wedding so special. He picked up on the vibe of our music likes and ran with it. He played songs we forgot to add to our playlist and read the audience so well. He was very professional and adapted his routine nicely as we all are trying to find a safe way to get married in the middle of pandemic. He cleaned each mic after use and wore a mask to ensure the safety of our guests. We would hire Santa Cruz DJ again in a heartbeat. We really enjoyed working with this company and hopefully we can hire them again for another party.
Even in the current state of the world, Trevor & Santa Cruz DJ Company were able to make our recent intimate wedding gathering wonderful. Trevor showed up as planned, was extremely professional and super friendly, took care of all our sound and music needs without one issue. We recommend him with all thumbs up.
DJ Trevor Williams made our wedding an ABSOLUTE BLAST!
We recently had our wedding in November 2019 at Roaring Camp and we had the best time ever. Our guests could not rave enough about how much fun they had which, no doubt, was credited to our awesome DJ.
He was an excellent MC and gave us the energy we wanted at our wedding- especially since my only goal was to DANCE the whole night which I absolutely did.
Not only did he keep people on the dance floor, Trevor was super easy to communicate with. He was thoughtful, genuine, quick to respond to emails, and made us feel incredibly special. He even greeted us with our first drink of the night right after our ceremony and we felt well cared for by his attention to detail.
He recommended music for us and also was very organized about getting our important details (ceremony music, first dances, etc.) Not only that, he was familiar with our venue and did all the sound set up for our ceremony in the redwood grove at Roaring Camp.
I'm so glad we hired Trevor and will highly recommend him. Hiring DJ Trevor Williams was hands down one of the best decisions we made.
Thank you so much Trevor!!
I am so so grateful for Santa Cruz DJ Company!! The music at our wedding was SO important to me, and DJ Trevor William do not disappoint! He was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. He was awesome to work with, considered all our requests, and was super friendly! But most importantly, he did an AMAZING job keeping our friends out on the dance floor. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend this company for any music needs!!
We had learned about Santa Cruz Dj Company through reading their countless great reviews on websites including the knot. However, the raving went on to them being our venue’s favorite dj company as well. Then, at a bridal expo in Santa Cruz we met one of the dj’s Trevor (I believe it’s actually his company), and we knew we had to book them. They completely lived up to all the hype. Trevor was hands on and ready to listen to all of our thoughts and requests leading up to the day. Then, on our wedding day, he arrived looking so nice and professional. He helped us stay on our timeline and made us all feel so at ease. He was hands on and ready to help far beyond his job description. He was a great at reading the crowd and knowing what to play to keep them dancing! We truly couldn’t have hoped for a better experience.
Do yourself a favor and hire Trevor as your DJ. Santa Cruz DJ was one of our favorite vendors and easiest relationships during wedding planning - which is helpful when unexpected surprises (like the PG&E outages) come up. Trevor was incredibly responsive, encouraging, and always knew how to take the stress out of any questions we had on first dance songs, when to start/stop music, and in the overall timing of our whole day. He was super laid back and attentive as he MC’ed our ceremony into cocktail hour-and-half, outdoor dinner, and moving our guests inside. His music, mixing, and transitions were perfect - he kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Scott was also awesome helping all of our guests in the Photobooth all night. Thanks Santa Cruz DJ for making our wedding so memorable!
Linked up with Trevor through Santa Cruz DJ Company and was connected with DJ Thomas Young for our wedding on 9/21/19. Thomas absolutely KILLED IT! All of our guests loved him. We are so happy he was there to support us and make things east. Our wedding was seamless. Thomas is extremely experienced, super nice, and a pro at reading the crowd. He was flexible and kept the party going. Would highly recommend! Trevor was also ther
