From my vantage point as an Event Venue Coordinator who observes many celebrations, parties, and weddings, I can testify to the magic of DJ Scott Topper. He is relaxed, abundantly positive, and energetic. He emceed a recent wedding reception at Live Oak UU Congregation in Goleta with professionalism and a good read on the newlyweds and their guests, keeping a well-paced rhythm of reception activities and getting the guests on the dance floor and in a celebratory mood!

We used Scott for our daughter’s wedding. His communication prior to the wedding was great. He had a list of suggestions that helped us curate our music list . The day of the wedding, he showed up on time , played all our favorites , and kept the party going all night . He gauged the vibe of our party perfectly, and the music volume was just right . One thing I especially liked: he didn’t interject his comments or announce each song : he just played the music. This made the event not about him & his commentary , but about the music. Thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and highly recommend him.

on us and adjusted to any last minute changes that we made (even the day of). Don’t worry about spending more money to have a wedding coordinator either because he will plan everything for you! Throughout the entire wedding he wore a mask and social distanced himself from everyone, which was so comforting. Our families and friends fell in love with him, saying he was the life of the party! Do not look any further because he is THE best in southern/central coast of California!

enough for people to get water or other beverages, grab a breather, then get back out on the dance floor. From the minute we walked through the door to the minute we left everyone had a great time.

Scott has excellent communication skills as he took the time to work on our time line with us as well as went over our music list with us to make sure we had all the music we wanted. During the reception, he got the crowd dancing beginning with the Horah and kept the dance party going with excellent music and his vibrant personality and energy the entire evening! The conga line was awesome! Our guests had a fantastic time and RAVED to us about Scott! We know our wedding would not have been as fun if we didn't hire Scott! HE ROCKS! #BESTDJEVER!

n. Scott was very patient and professional and took the time to get to know me, my Fiancé and our needs for our day. I never once felt rushed or that he was being pushy with any upgrades, etc. I appreciated his honesty in what he felt we needed versus what was extra. He even went above and beyond by converting a rare cover song we found on YouTube to ensure we could have it as our first dance. That meant so much to us! Scott was extremely prompt on the day of and had a great, happy attitude during our entire event. He read our crowd so well during the dancing portion and even took requests as they came in, which made everyone happy. We were so bummed when the last song rolled around - no one wanted to stop dancing! He was also great about checking in with me and our planner to ensure we were all on the same page throughout the night and keeping the timeline on track. He truly had the best value out there for our needs and was a complete pleasure to work with! Thank you Scott!

requests, which was incredible because my family is Indian and he went out of his way to find fifty or so Indian songs to play during dinner/cocktail hour. We also had a Hindu ceremony which required very specific music and timing, and Scott handled it perfectly!! Everyone was very impressed with Scott. Besides that, he's just a lot of fun. We met with Scott twice before the wedding, and he was so much fun to work with. He's a genuinely kind and helpful guy. At the reception, he created such a good vibe. I've been to weddings where the DJ is very detached and boring - not so with Scott. He was partying with us and I was so sad when the reception had to end. Book him!

The evening of the wedding not only did Scott arrive early to set up and make sure everything was organized and ready to go, but during the event he really stepped up. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, and so he made sure to check in consistently with our other vendors and family members to coordinate the whole evening and make sure that it ran as smoothly as possible—and we didn't have to worry about a thing! The music was perfect; our guests all had a blast and commented on how fun and nice Scott was. We would hire him again without ANY hesitation. He is a huge asset to any wedding! Thank you, Scott!

My wife and I are from Philadelphia and we wanted to celebrate our wedding down in Santa Barbara. My wife researched for the best DJs in Santa Barbara and found Scott's show "It's ...
Show Time!" and immediately decided that he was the one! When we booked Scott Topper as our DJ we didn't know how popular he was since he was very humble about it. Our wedding coordinator and our venue mentioned how good he was after they learned he was our DJ. When we met him for our first meeting he was very professional and friendly and he also revealed to that he was initially from Philly too! It was great to learn his history and also helped us learn how far his experience DJ-ing has taken him. We definitely felt very comfortable with him immediately,. He gave us a easy to follow and adaptable outline and he walked us through the process of how we can piece up our song selections per main events of the wedding and how he can adapt the flow of music selection depending on the schedule. It was easy to correspond through email and he was able to answer any questions asked by us or our coordinator. On the day of the wedding, he was awesome, all the music choices went perfectly well together and he was great as the MC too. He was able to work very well with our coordinator on keeping to the schedule. When guests requested songs during the dance section he was respectful enough to come to me and my wife to see if we were OK to push a song into the selection. Overall, it was a great experience having Scott Topper as our DJ and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best DJ around!

The quick version is Scott recently served as the DJ for our wedding in Santa Barbara. We could not be more pleased with how everything went and would recommend him without hesita...
tion. The longer version: - Communication was excellent from start to finish. Scott responded to our initial query, and any and every other e-mail, in under 24 hours. Scott was friendly, courteous and professional in each and every e-mail he sent. - Though Scott offers additional services (photo booth, light packages, etc.) there was never any pressure to add on anything we didn't want. Scott was very respectful of our wishes and needs, making it great to know the other services were available but never making us feel like lesser customers for not wanting to go for every add-on. - The reservation and evening planning process could not have been easier. Forms and contracts are straightforward with nothing sneaky hidden in the fine print. - It felt like Scott made a real attempt to get to know us, then offered really helpful ideas and suggestions for music and other elements of the evening about which we may have been uncertain. - On the most base music level, Scott abided by our rather eclectic music preferences/cues and didn't complain once about any of the specific requests we made. Scott also completely respected our music tastes and "do not play" lists, all while doing a fantastic job of reading the event and offering a great music selection beyond our particular choices (though everything we requested was played). - Sound quality was excellent during both the ceremony and reception. Not always an easy task at an outdoor event but Scott nailed it and clearly didn't cut any corners. As stated above, our experience with Scott was top notch and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality DJ.

cott kept the party going and kept people dancing, which was our goal for the night. We got great feedback from the guests about the music. I really like a DJ that can gauge the mood of the crowd and pick songs that fit what people want to dance to and Scott definitely did that. He was also spot on with keeping up with announcements for the evening regarding toasts, cake cutting, and all the little events throughout the evening which really made for a smooth and well organized evening. Would Highly Recommend Scott to any bride and groom looking to host a great party for their reception! Thanks again Scott!

He was fantastic at reading the crowd and playing stuff that everyone would like, from the little kids to my post-college party friends to my grandparents. He also was a great MC, and was able to ferrett out any awkward transitional issues that might have been problematic. LOVED HIM!
