Brandon was an incredible DJ for our wedding in the Redwoods! From the very beginning, he made the process easy and enjoyable with guided calls, walking us through each step of creating the perfect playlists. He asked thoughtful, detailed questions that helped us plan every musical cue, including things we hadn't even considered. His expertise truly made the music planning seamless, and he offered great suggestions that perfectly fit the vibe we wanted.
On the big day, Brandon and his assistant nailed it. Not only was he a fantastic DJ, but also an amazing MC, making sure the event flowed smoothly from start to finish. When our timeline fell behind, he never missed a bit, expertly transitioning between tracks and activities to keep the momentum going. His timing was impeccable, leading us effortlessly to the dancefloor to keep the party going.
We opted for the "Festie" package, which was an incredible upgrade. Brandon transformed our barn venue into a festival-like experience with stunning lighting that elevated the entire night. He had the crowd singing along to all the hits and kept the energy high throughout. Everyone had an absolute blast!
Brandon’s communication was excellent from start to finish, and his ability to read the room and keep the party going made our wedding unforgettable. My husband and I would recommend him without hesitation. He brought the perfect vibes, energy, and music, making it a 10/10 experience. If we could’ve kept dancing all night, we would have! He’s a true pro and the life of the party!

What a thoughtful and thorough review! Wow! Thank you so much for seeing my work and for enjoying yourselves so well! We sure raised that barn... Definitely could be considered a Rager.
I also loved the pizza guy performance. One of the most ...
unexpected wedding experiences in 500 weddings!
Thanks so much for trusting me with your big day! Y'all are wonderful people and I wish you the absolute best!
Not just a DJ, a true MC! Brandon made sure everything went according to plan! We did not have a coordinator so this was extremely helpful, more so than we even knew it would be. He seemed to care for us and our story, factored in everything, and was a key part to our special day. We can’t stop reliving it in our heads! He even had ideas for special dances and moments that we loved. You are free to ask a friend to be your dj and even if they know how to mix music, they won’t be the calming, personable, and professional presence that Brandon was. We threw last minute changes at him and he absorbed it all. My mom told me the most important dollar we’d spend on our wedding was the dj, and that was true. We booked him for his five stars and now will happily concur with a 5 star review. Money well spent!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/23/2024
I love that you noticed that I DO care about your story! How sweet. I'm so glad that we nailed it all so well on your big day. Great choice on my suit too! Thanks so much!
Brandon was awesome and was key in making our perfect night the event that it was. He nailed down the vibe we wanted to perfection!
Any questions?
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, he was a great communicator, ensuring every detail was handled perfectly. His timing was impeccable (even when we requested things last minute), keeping the energy high all night. He brought such positive vibes to our special day, and his professionalism shone through in everything he did. Not only did he dress the part, looking sharp and stylish, but we traveled across country for our wedding and Brandon ensured the entire process was stress-free. We had so many unforseen things happen on our day with different vendors. I`m so grateful for Brandon though, because he was more than prepared. Guests even arrived earlier than we planned, and he got right to playing music for them. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ!

Thanks so much Isabella! I'm still so inspired from the vibe of your wedding. You and your guests really have your hearts in the right places! So much love to you and Tyler and my best wishes for you all out there in West Virginia, with those "...
Blue Ridge Mountains" as we sang to end the night!
Brandon and his assistant Jordan truly brought the party to our wedding! They performed live music during our arrival hour, ever so elegantly played our ceremony as well as dinner soundtracks, and brought the house down during our reception dancing. We had a couple of meetings with Brandon before our wedding where he asked us questions and provided us with a very organized questionnaire, and it made us feel he would truly have a personable approach to our wedding. We gave Brandon a few song requests for our day, but put trust in him to assess the vibe and play accordingly, and they did just that! All of our guests were on the dance floor. The party was indeed poppin’ and a time we will forever remember!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2024
Thank you so much for trusting me with your big day. I'm so glad you enjoyed everything from my questionnaire through the dance party! Well done celebrating your lives & love in style!
We hired Brandon for our wedding and are so glad we did! We went off-script a lot and he immediately figured out what was going on and adjusted on the fly, like turning down the volume when my father-in-law/officiant did the ceremony out of order, to playing Hava Nagila when the guests raised us in the chairs impromptu, helping us get the timing of the toasts and games right, and balancing a bi-cultural wedding music mic (I'm Latina and my husband is White). His PA also sounded great and the mixing and order in which he played the songs worked really well. His experience definitely showed! He had a wonderful assistant who also made sure the day went smoothly. We 1000% recommend Brandon and his team and would hire him again.
We highly recommend Brandon! We’d experienced some strange DJ moments at other weddings - airhorns, over the top transitions, self advertising - so we were feeling picky as we embarked on the first DJ search of our own. Celebration DJ stood out to us, and the ability to hire a DJ who can also sing and play guitar was an enticing combo. Brandon did a fabulous job bringing his professional experience to the day - we really wanted a packed dance floor and he delivered. The photobooth and its quirky props were a huge hit with our guests, and the GIFs that were available afterwards are so fun and unique! We also loved that we could collaborate on playlists via Spotify - made it easy and now we can continue to listen to our wedding music for years to come. Thank you Brandon and the Celebration DJ team!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2024
Yay Rachel & Gayan! I'm so glad that I was able to rise to the occasion and provide you everything necessary to bring this celebration to fruition in such a memorable way! Thanks so much for trusting me with your precious moments and I hope you...
enjoy the crazy photo booth gifs forever!
Brandon was great to work with. Since our first meeting, he was organized and prepared to make our event amazing. We loved creating playlists for every part of our wedding, and his planning document helped us visualize all the important details. I would highly recommend Brandon!
Response from the Vendor on 07/01/2024
Thank you for having me Erica! I'll never forget you and Adrian hoisted into the air by your friends at the end of the night during The Killers! Epic ending!!
We are SO incredibly grateful to have come across The Celebration Collective in our DJ search. We originally met with Brandon not knowing about the collective and were introduced to the collective when we realized Brandon was way too far from our wedding venue for our budget (NorCal vs. SoCal). We met with a couple DJs based on what we were looking for and our budget and chose from there. Everything was going smoothly until three days before our wedding, Brandon called us to let us know our original DJ choice was sick and unable to DJ our wedding. This should have been one of the most stressful things to happen that close to the wedding, but the way Brandon handled this process is the reason we'll recommend anyone and everyone to book a collective (and specifically The Celebration Collective). In almost the same breath of letting us know our DJ was unable to be there, Brandon let us know he had two replacement DJs available and ready to DJ our wedding. All we had to do was meet with them and choose. Luckily, we'd already met with one and loved her (just clicked with our original DJ more - shout out to Anthony for being a great DJ to plan with and just being a super cool and laid-back person!), so we were able to quickly meet with the other replacement DJ that night. We clicked and booked him on the spot. This new DJ was Sunil, and Sunil was fantastic. He blew us away and made our night so special by going above and beyond for us. We were able to quickly get him up to speed on our music taste, playlists, and what we wanted for our night, and the night before the wedding, we were on the phone for 2 hours going through the timeline line by line making sure we were all caught up. Having planned the wedding ourselves, I really appreciated the attention to detail Sunil had and how quickly he picked things up, especially considering he didn't have us on the docket just 50 hours prior! Sunil was fantastic in communicating, even letting me know when he was able to secure an assistant for the night on such short notice. On the day of, Sunil had a surprise for us that went above and beyond (no spoilers for future couples in case he does it for everyone!). He also created some cool moments, the one that still blows our mind being a pop punk version of our cake cutting song being played after the original version (we had had a conversation about our love for pop punk and rock in our first call). He had walkout songs ready for everyone giving speeches, and he did not butcher my husband's last name (that almost everyone, including his high school friends, still can't pronounce correctly!) - I gave Sunil a phonetic spelling over the phone once, and he nailed it every time after. Besides going above and beyond, Sunil was the biggest save when (I found out all this after the wedding but) some of the power went out at our venue, and Sunil had brought rechargeable speakers as a backup. Without Sunil's preparedness, we would have either been without entertainment for the night, or we would have had to move our dancing to a different section of the venue. Either way, Sunil saved us from a stressful night. Big thank you to Brandon, Anthony, and Sunil for a great experience with the Celebration Collective!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2024
I'm so very glad to read how well things went for you. I endeavor to work with fantastic people who reflect similar values to my own. Sunil has been proving himself consistently to be a stellar DJ and just a wonderful person to work with. Thank...
you for understanding about Anthony's situation and for opening your hearts to Sunil. I'm so glad that he helped you bring your dreams to life! I hope we can support you again in the future.
We came across Brandon scrolling through The Knot looking for a photobooth vendor and not only did we find exactly what we were looking for in a photobooth but we found so much more! Brandon was our wandering minstrel playing live acoustic guitar for our ceremony, he was the ultimate master of ceremonies and DJ at our reception and the photo booth knocked it out of the park! He even got to collab with one of our live bands we have play. From the beginning we knew we would vibe with Brandon since we had a lot of similarities and interests and he was exactly what we were looking for. The entire process from beginning to end was beyond easy and he delivered!!! All questions answered in a timely manner, best attitude and suit wearer there is and brought the energy to our dance floor! We still have people talking about it weeks later and Im sure we will for quite some time! Dont think, just do! Hire The Celebration DJ!!!! Hes the man!!!
Thank you Brandon we love you!!!!

Cellojoey was our wedding DJ and he did an awesome job at our wedding. He played the cello and did a wonderful job of playing dance music throughout the night as well as being the master of ceremonies and making sure we kept to our timetable. Loved working with him!

The Celebration DJ, Brandon, was the absolute best! Not only did he DJ our wedding, but he was also our officiant. He created/wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. He listened to everything we wanted it to include and was able to make it personal, and really capture our love and who we are as a couple.
Now for the reception/party, he truly OUTDID himself. He was on it as an MC and created the exact vibe we wanted with the lighting and projector. We had the time of our lives dancing as Brandon went with the flow of what everyone was into. We have family and friends telling us that our wedding was the best/most fun wedding they've been to. When we saw Brandon on here and first met with him, we immediately knew we had to have him DJ our wedding.
Don't miss out on this awesome DJ!! Book him, you WILL NOT regret it.
Brandon, thank you for helping create the wedding of our dreams.
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2023
I absolutely LOVED being your officiant! What an engaging and fun way to expand into the service of celebrating lives & love! Oooh, and I love how you put "OUTDID" myself, hahaha, that's awesome! Never seen it put just like that before. You two...
are quite the pair and I can't wait to hear how your lives unfold together!! Great photos too!
We were able to book our entertainment, CelloJoe (Joey Chang) through the Celebration Co DJ. CelloJoe was a HUGE hit and made our wedding day unbelievably amazing! He fit right in with our chill fun vibe. My husband and I, as well as our guests, absolutely loved him.
His renditions of our ceremony songs were spot on and so beautifully performed. His cello beatboxing during Beer Hour was fantastic, and we had no idea that he could also sing so beautifully! He even put together a minute long movie trailer intro for us since our grand entrance song was the Batman Forever theme song, and it was epic and hilarious.
Both he and his wife who came to assist him were the sweetest people ever. All of our guests were raving about his performances throughout the wedding. My feet are still killing me from dancing all night, but it was so worth it.
We couldn't be happier with him and will definitely refer him to anyone and everyone who will listen. We seriously hit the jackpot when we booked him. You have a keeper for sure, never let him go! 🥳
This review is far over due... my husband and I got married last year and working with The Celebration DJ was amazing. Brandon was very hands on, met with use regularly, and even provided us with a timeline for the reception. Anything involving sound during our ceremony or reception went without a hitch.
We really felt that Brandon understood what vibe we were trying to create, listened to all the music requests we wanted, and was able to keep everyone dancing all night!
Brandon also helped me, one-on-one, make a personalized song to walk down the aisle to as a way to surprise my husband. He did a fantastic job at meshing my love for Harry Potter and my husband's love for Star Wars.
Response from the Vendor on 09/26/2023
Hey Caitlyn! Oh, I love this review, blasting me back to the Harry Potter & Star Wars theme. These photos are great too, thanks so much for sharing!
Brandon is it! He did and incredible job with our wedding. He kept the energy up, read the crown perfectly, and guests were OBSESSED with his outfit (which he lets the bride/groom pick out!). He also performed live, acoustic music before and during our ceremony and was phenomenal. we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to afford live music for the ceremony, but because Brandon offered a package of both live music and DJ services, we were able to have everything we wanted! Brandon is also just a super kind, sweet individual who we were happy to have around us throughout the day. He is wonderful to work with, and the work he does is impeccable.
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2023
Wow, that's the quickest I've ever received a review! Thanks! I love hearing that you got everything you wanted at a rate that worked for you, that's my intention! I'm so pleased we had a great 3 hours of dancing and the Man-Bods situation will...
go down in wedding history! Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay by the Monterey Bay!!!
Brandon was our DJ, emcee, and live musician for our wedding and he was fantastic! He was the perfect balance between listening to our recommendations and playlist, but also reading the room and playing what our guests wanted to hear. Brandon and his assistant were on time, respectful, and exceeded our expectations on our special day. Would recommend 10/10.
Brandon and his team did a fantastic job! Despite the cold weather, my wife and I and our friends and family had an awesome time. We enjoyed the sound from our wireless mics, the pacing of the dinner music, the props and funny pics from the photo booth, and the energy on the dance floor.
We almost didn’t get the Photo Booth, but we added it in last minute and we're glad we did. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. Great vibes all around.
We can’t say enough about Brandon and his team. They love what they do and we felt so fortunate to have them be a part of our wedding. They were truly integral and totally understood our wedding vibe and needs and effortlessly made it all happen. We had so much fun. Our family and friends had so much fun, and Brandon’s team really helped match the spirit and extend it. Our wedding had multiple places to set up, a live performance at cocktail hour, coordination with a classical guitarist for the ceremony, and even a pied-piper mass moving of a crowd from one venue to another. He kept the dance floor going for three and a half hours, which was amazing! His process for establishing expectations was clear and so helpful. We were also lucky to be able to meet him in person during the planning process, and he was always responsive to questions along the way. He even provided an easy way for my cousin to choose his outfit for the day. He and his team are wonderful!
This guy is definitely worth it. I looked at other DJs and was trying to be on a budget, but none compared to what Brandon offered. This guy made the party happen and everyone read the room quite well. He's awesome. Just do it!
We worked with Brandon from The Celebratjon Dj and he connected us with our wedding dj. I appreciated his quick communication and professionalism. He gave us many options with our price range and offered us some great advice. We were so happy that we had the opportunity to work with him to get a dj. We highly recommend working with The Celebration DJ if your looking for someone to bring some awesome music to your wedding.
Brandon and his team were AMAZING! They made the audio of our quirky garden venue on the remote northern CA coast work seamlessly. He has the planning part of the process dialed in and helped us with a lot of our final decisions in the weeks leading up to our wedding.
And, he can play guitar and sing! He was a wandering minstrel as our guests arrived and played a song we both loved as our guests sang us down the aisle. He made toasts and every other part of the night run smoothly. You could not trust a better person with the sound and energy of your wedding.
We hired The Celebration DJ for our wedding and he did a fantastic job! He was very responsive to any and all questions before the wedding and during the celebration he had people on the dance floor all DAY long! Thank you for mixing up such a fun variety of music our guests (and us) had a blast!!!
I can't say enough good things about our experience with The Celebration DJ (Brandon Bosch). Brandon was extremely organized and kept us engaged throughout the planning process. We collaborated closely on the structure of the ceremony and reception, including the timing of the events and the music selection. He was a great MC and kept the ceremony and reception progressing smoothly. First dances, toasts, and opening up the dance floor all went super smoothly, as did everything else. He also brought a very fun & enthusiastic attitude that helped bring everything together. You won't go wrong with booking his services for your wedding or other special event.
Brandon was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and it was the best decision ever! He provided us with a wedding checklist, which was essential to us during the planning process and suggested several personal touches we wouldn’t have thought of (games, etc.).
On the day of the wedding Brandon did an outstanding job of working on the fly while exuding a calming presence. Just before the ceremony we asked him to cue our officiant in an unconventional way. Brandon rolled with the change and executed it perfectly. He went above and beyond by encouraging our groomsmen to surprise us with a singing performance, and he even backed them with a base drop!
Thank you to the Celebration DJ team for making our wedding so magical!
We really appreciated Brandon's flexibility with our requests and changes last minute. We also loved that he came out with us during the sparkler exit, playing on his guitar. He was such a great help in making sure our wedding ran smoothly, being a great emcee, and making the night feel magical. Also based on the photos, the Photo Booth was a smash 😂. We appreciate all the effort Brandon put in to make the wedding feel perfect for us.
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2022
Karen! Thank you so much for this recap. I'm so elated to read how much you enjoyed our day together. Such a pleasure to join you in the magical paradise of Secret Gardens. Playing live music for your family and friends was so energetically rew...
arding, as we were showered with gracious complements all day. Such a sweet and bright group of people you've amassed!
Oh my and your toasts? I teared up multiple times! And your mother's rendition of La Vie en Rose... Wow. Not a dry eye in the house.
The special dances were super special, and I had a feeling that would be the case so I recorded them with your crowd behind you. Here's a link to download them. Please let me know when you have downloaded them and I'll clean up my drive space.
I also love that you took your time during dinner and asked for more time to mingle with your guests. Not many do that!
Congratulations on finally having this wedding!
When I say Brandon made our wedding the most epic party ever, I mean it. He seriously killed it. Throughout the entire process, he was incredible with communication, recommendations and helping our vision come to life. He sang acoustic guitar for our ceremony and has one of the most beautiful voices ever. The sound system was absolutely flawless throughout the ceremony, even having no power connections and running everything off of a battery. Brandon went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Now the real party - cocktail hour and reception. Brandon has a great MC voice and was flawless with pronunciation. He perfectly timed out every single song and could read the room from start to finish. We had karaoke during the reception and I cannot recommend this enough. It was the “party of a lifetime” as our guests put it. Every single person sang karaoke and Brandon facilitated it perfectly - even with having to sort through DOZENS of song requests. He played the right song at the right time, every time. As soon as you have one conversation with Brandon you’ll understand his passion for music and how much he truly understands how to DJ. Thank you so much for everything, Brandon!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/26/2022
Leandra! There's nothing sweeter than reading "party of a lifetime" for me. That's just the best. I'm so glad to read all of this. Thank you so much for such a thorough review and for enjoying yourselves so thoroughly!
Brandon, the celebration DJ, made our wedding day a day that we will never forget! To start, Brandon made the planning process so incredibly easy. We were able to meet over video chat (as many times as we felt necessary) and were able to utilize shared spotify playlists to pick songs that would encompass the vibe we wanted for each part of the wedding day. He took our music interests and matched each part of the evening PERFECTLY. From chill EDM music at cocktail hour, Frank Sinatra inspired music for dinner, to 2000's throwbacks to dancing; Brandon killed it! Our dance floor was lively the entire night. One guest even said it was the best wedding she had ever been to, and Brandon played a huge part of that! We even had him play live music for our ceremony (other than my bridal song) which was the way to go! Brandon is so talented and having live music added a little extra magic to our day. He was also an incredible MC! The reception ran so smoothly (despite running late on our timeline), and Brandon was able to quickly adjust and be flexible. Thank you, celebration DJ, for all your hard work and for making our special day a night to remember!

Heather! I love reading that my special touches like live guitar brought the little extra magic to your day. You and Kyle are such vibrant, loving people. I'm honored to have been invited into your inner circle for this special special day. Tha...
nk you! & Well done!
Brandon was an incredible DJ and performer and made our wedding perfect. We were in between having a DJ and band because good music throughout and a lively dance floor were top priorities. Brandon is the best of both worlds. He offers an incredibly fair and affordable price and the fact that he also performs live was the cherry on top. He was also very easy to work with and a good combination of laid back and organized, providing a step by step checklist so we knew what to expect and felt confident leading up to the big day.
From walking around playing music while guests arrived to performing our first dance and ending the night in a live performance of country roads - he absolutely crushed it. And the dance floor! We had hours of dancing with never a dull moment. We still have guests telling us how amazing the dance floor was and how cool it was that the dj ALSO played live.
If you are looking for live music that makes your day come to life and brings tears to the eyes and a dance floor that is the party of the year - Brandon is a must!
Response from the Vendor on 07/10/2022
Sarah & Ben! Wow!!! What an incredible recap of an incredible day. I grew so much for your day. Learning Jack Johnson's "Better Together" for the ceremony was quite an experience. I found out that it's the hardest, easy-sounding song I've ever ...
learned. I'm elated that it's now in my repertoire! I've also never played live guitar for a 1st dance, not to mention looping Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"s essential guitar solo over myself: that's new territory for me! AND I'd never played a live encore before. Seeing your entire crowd still there, in a huge circle of arms, and hearing them sing along with "Take me home country roads" was such a life affirming experience! Everyone there was so beautiful and wonderful to us throughout the day. Thank you so much for gifting us with the opportunity to be part of your family for the day.
We were referred to Brandon and The Celebration DJ by friends of ours who had hired him at their wedding. After our initial call with Brandon, we knew he was the DJ we needed to have a wonderful, memorable ceremony, and crazy dance party after. He delivered.
Our wedding took place 5.21.22 in San Francisco, CA. It really was the greatest day of our lives, and Brandon and his staff helped make it make it extra special.
Prior to the wedding day, Brandon was prepared months out. We felt ready. It's clear he has a lot of experience, as every detail was covered. From the ceremonial songs (we opted to have Brandon perform live, and it was AMAZING) to the dinner playlist, the dance party, and operating as the MC, Brandon's skill and experience were obvious.
He worked in tandem with our venue and other vendors. For me (groom), I felt like he immediately shared our vision and helped bring it to life. During the dinner ceremony, we had several guests already tell us how impressed they were with the live music performance, and our selection of songs. After the wedding, for several days, all we heard was how much it was, and how much everyone enjoyed the music. I cannot recommend Brandon enough times. 1000 Stars.
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2022
Mike, I'll reiterate what I said to you after the wedding: it's so obvious why you have called such a wonderful love into your life, because you are a loving man. Your friends have loved you dearly for decades and I immediately saw that you jus...
t fully see, appreciate and love people. I'm inspired by you, thank you for inviting me into your life for this powerful experience. My life is improved having played your wedding! Thank you.
Brandon was a joy to work with throughout the whole process. He was attentive, sweet, & friendly. He asked us questions we had not even thought about. He truly knows his craft inside and out and you really feel the care in everything for your event. Brandon blended our ceremony music together beautifully and the timing was perfection. During our reception he was patient with our guests many song requests and made sure that the energy was great and everyone had a fantastic time. We also used his photo booth add on and the guests loved it! We also got copies of all the photos taken within the first week following our wedding. I wish we could do it all over again! Thank you Brandon for making our day even more special.
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2022
Dawn, your wedding was so fun! I really loved how much the kiddos were dancing. They really owned the dancefloor till pretty late then we finally got to bring in the Bay Area rap & whompy dubstep! So glad your guests enjoyed the photobooth too...
. I love that thing! Thanks again so much for having us and congratulations!
Brandon, the celebration DJ, is incredible. If I could give him 100 stars I would. My husband and I hired Brandon for our wedding in Monterey and I couldn’t be more grateful he agreed to be part of our special day. He met with us and got to know us as a couple, he played live guitar for our ceremony and even customized the lyrics of the song I walked down the aisle to. He dressed up for our wedding and let me help choose his outfit. He helped us craft playlists that embodied our personalities and preferences. He helped remix our first dance song. He even supplied our photo booth. We could not be more grateful for Brandon and 10/10 recommend him!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2022
Christine! Your idea of walking down the aisle to "All Eyes on me" or should I say "All Eyes on Christine" was amazing. The crowd went nuts! I've honestly never seen a crowd get so pumped for a bridal processional. We killed it! I think Bo Burn...
ham would have appreciated the blingy suit you chose for me to wear too! Remixing your first dance song was a blast and you two chose such great songs. Congrats on getting married in style!
Brandon was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly professional, fun, and checked in with us constantly throughout our wedding. He handled our event and guests better than I could have ever hoped and did so much to make our day perfect. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Response from the Vendor on 04/22/2022
Thank you so much Zoe! What a wonderful day we had out in St Helena! The weather was wonderful, the vibes were really high. The dance party was fun. I really enjoyed getting to hang my digital disco ball right above the center of the dance floo...
r. We had to run an extension along the wires above but it totally worked and when the crowd screamed as I turned it on, it was 1000% worth the effort!
Brandon did an amazing job as the DJ at our wedding! Through the planning process he was extremely responsive and helpful when selecting songs, flow of the evening, and making recommendations to ensure our night was everything we hoped for. I had a special ask that I wanted a live 3-piece trio for our cocktail hour, and Brandon volunteered to source the band and ensure they had everything they needed for day of set up. Everyone was complimenting the band!
During dinner, all of our guests were very surprised and happy with the volume of the music, saying that it was the perfect volume for conversation during dinner.
During the dancing hours, Brandon played a wide-variety of music, had a sign up book for requests, and transitioned the night from oldies to R&B closer to the end of the evening. We wanted to do an anniversary dance with our guests, and Brandon ensured that the energy stayed up and kept the game moving!
I cannot say enough great things about Brandon. If you book him your wedding is sure to be a blast!

This is great to read Kirsten! Thank you for letting me know about the dinner volume, that's really cool feedback. I'm also glad to hear that you enjoyed my flow of music throughout the night. Thanks again so much for having me!!
I cannot thank Brandon and his assistant, Sky, enough!! They were absolutely fantastic throughout the whole ceremony.
I first found Brandon through here reading great reviews and knew his personality would make an excellent DJ. I mean who really wants a stiff that is supposed to pump up the party? Not me. After reading his "about me" and seeing there is a section to dress him plus his awesome 'stache, I mean come on now, I obviously had to see if he was available for our wedding date.
Brandon was great at communicating and in a timely manner (especially helps since we live in Hawaii). He was professional yet easy to talk to and you can obviously see his passion for music. We meet with Brandon to make sure he was a good fit where he asked about our musical interests. YUP! we hired him, easy decision really.
Closer to the date, he sent us an email to his Spotify that we can share which songs we wanted played during each part of the wedding and we also had him play guitar and sing for two hours which was amazing! The whole email was very organized and well put together.
On to the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. If you like acoustic guitar then you should get it! It sounded so beautiful. Walking down the aisle looking at my husband while he played started to make me tear up.
Thanks to Sky as well they set up in four areas with no trouble (2 areas were acoustic guitar and 2 we're DJ). Also, Brandon totally has the right "DJ voice".
Lastly, if you're thinking of a Photo Booth definitely get one through them! Sky was profession and banging out the photos left and right cause our families had a blast with it throughout the whole reception.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRANDON AND SKY!!!

Hi Karina, thanks so much for posting this testimonial! I'm so glad to read how much you enjoyed the process of working with me and it was cool to hear how the decision process went for you! I'm also glad that Sky was so helpful for you. Did yo...
u know he's my Tai Chi teacher? I'm about to go to his class right now? I'm so blessed to have him working with me whenever he can! Thanks again for having us and blessings to your lives!
Brandon was a dream to work with! Our original wedding date in August 2020 was postponed due to the pandemic, and Brandon openly communicated and worked with us. Thankfully he was available the following year on a different date and the transition of our contract was seamless. Our actual wedding day in August 2021 was absolutely perfect and we owe a lot of that to him. The music completely set the tone of the wedding for us.
The set up for our ceremony site was a bit confusing, complicated, and he was only allotted about 15 minutes to set up for the ceremony. Brandon was flexible, collaborated with our day of wedding coordinator, and the ceremony music went so smoothly. The ceremony music was absolutely perfect. He worked with us on timing of the recessional music to start playing immediately before our first kiss and the video with the music perfectly looping in makes me cry every time! He even made time to take a spontaneous video of our ceremony train of guests arriving and he sent it to us afterward. We were also allowed to make two 30 minute playlists for the train ride up and train ride down with our wedding guests. Brandon collaborated with us on those train playlists as well, and one of the train staff told me it was the best wedding train playlist she has ever heard on the ceremony train.
During the planning process, Brandon brought up things we hadn't even considered before the wedding, which we felt made our day go a lot smoother. I’m so used to my name being mispronounced at doctor’s offices, graduation ceremonies, by family members, etc, but Brandon was very intentional about making sure he pronounced our names correctly the day of which we really appreciated! I wasn’t sure how much musical freedom we would have, but Brandon played every single song that we had added to our cocktail and dinner playlists, all of our must play songs, as well as guest requests! Thank you Brandon for letting us choose the music we connected with, we felt so seen and represented by you.
He kept the dance floor going all night and I had the dance party of my dreams. He created amazing transitions from song to song which had guests getting pumped up for each next song. We noticed he only played one slow song (which was a guest request) because the energy of the guests was so high and they kept dancing! Brandon has an amazing ability to read the room, and is also willing to take risks. Brandon asked us a few days before about possibly playing a few songs by artists that may be better known by the guests instead of the ones we requested. We left it up to his professional judgment, but when the time came he went for it, played the song we requested, and our guests loved it!! We also loved the personal shoutouts he made so our guests felt connected to the songs! We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing our DJ was, one of our friends even took his business card for their wedding!
Brandon keeps the wedding playlists we collaborated on up on Spotify, so we listened to all the playlists on the honeymoon and we are still listening to them a month after the wedding!
Thank you again Brandon, we will recommend you over and over again.

Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2021
YES! I love love LOVE reading all of this! I'll honestly never forget your actual steam train entrance to the ceremony in the redwoods! How epic! Not everyone wants me to start music in the officiant's last words but your drum loop build up was...
sooo perfect I had to! I'll also never forget the children of so many ages holding hands in a circle and dancing/jumping up and down together throughout the dance party! After the 15 months of the pandemic separation, I honestly had tears in my eyes repeatedly while DJing! Thank you so much Anna & Ryan!
Best DJ EVER! Brandon was so kind and thoughtful. From our first video chat, we knew he had to be a part of our special day! The Spotify playlists were such an easy way to compose our music wishlist. It allowed us to easily choose songs which made the task so easy! On the actual day, Brandon was SO helpful and kind! He absolutely kept the party going and knew exactly when to switch the music up! He mixed everything beautifully from funk to electronic to Bay Area rap! Not an easy task! So fun! Do yourself a favor and choose him! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you SO much, Brandon! You killed it!
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2021
After a year of rescheduling, I'm so glad we finally brought this epic experience to fruition! The day was 106 degrees hot, but truly wonderful. I'm so happy that despite the heat, we threw down on the dance floor! Throw-backs, Electronic Pop &...
Bay Area Hyphie Rap, we nailed it all! How everyone showed up for each other was spectacular and I was really impressed with your guests and especially your parents. What incredible people. After meeting and experiencing them being so supportive all day, I can understand easily how you turned out to be such wonderful people.
Brandon is amazing! He is so sweet, easy going, gives free hugs! We got married 6/12/2021. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was pretty difficult but Brandon made it as easy as it could ever be! He did such a great job with ALL of our music, all our guests still talk about him 2 days later. If you want to have a great event, with an even better MC/DJ.... He is definitely the man!! Thank you so much for blending all of our different music wonderfully!
Response from the Vendor on 07/04/2021
Your family and friends were so fun and they love you so much. Not only was your dance party the best, your Grand Entrance will go down in the record books. I'm so happy to read this review. Thank you Maria!
Brandon is wonderful! He was awesome to work with and is organized, professional and personable. We had planned a destination wedding and he was happy to answer all of our questions, hop on zoom calls and plan our playlists through Spotify during the planning process. He also sang for us during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was fantastic. He and his assistant, Paige sang so beautifully that it brought my sister-in-law to tears when they had played their wedding song. It was the most magical day ever and we are so thankful to have Brandon be apart of it. Thank you for everything, Brandon!
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2021
I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing this. We loved playing for your friends and family. Seeing your parents solo dance to "Baby I love your way" as I played live during cocktail hour will be a memory of mine forever!
Brandon DJ’d our wedding on May 15 in Sonoma and we couldn’t be more happy with everything he did to make it amazing! We had to change venues from a golf course to a private residence 6 weeks before our wedding and Brandon was super accommodating with all the last minute changes. He’s friendly beyond belief and makes you feel immediately comfortable!
He makes collaborating on song lists super easy too. He’ll put everything in separate playlists on Spotify so you can easily add your favorite songs (or songs you absolutely don’t want played)
He was also SUPER thorough- we went through every song that needed to be played during the pre ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, cake cutting… etc. And if you’re like us, who aren’t very musically inclined… he’ll have loads of recommendations to help you out!
We looked into a couple different DJs and his prices were competitive with other DJs in the Bay Area. We went with Brandon because he has a ton of experience and had great vibes.
Email him now before he gets booked up!!
Brandon was the most amazing DJ for our big day! Not only was he fun, he was amazing at keeping the vibe going. It was great to see him really enjoy what he does! He knew what to play next even mashed songs up and took requests from guests! He made our perfect night even more so! We got married in California but booked everything via email and phone conversation since we're from Las Vegas NV. Brandon got to know us and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish! Would book again a thousand times over! Seriously, stop looking! This is your guy!!! Thank you again Brandon!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/03/2021
Oh my gosh, thank you so much Meagan! I really enjoy hearing that my love for music & DJ'ing comes across so well. It's surely still felt over here! Your friends and family were so sweet and I really enjoyed being included in your celebration. ...
Here's to your lives and love!
Planning and executing a wedding is already stressful enough, but even more during a global pandemic. However, Brandon absolutely put our minds at ease in the planning process and killed it during the wedding itself. He really took the time to get to know what music we were into and what vibes we were going for. My wife and I wanted a simpler, more intimate wedding (which was almost perfect due to the social distancing regulations) and he understood our vision.
In the beginning, we had no idea what songs we wanted to choose during our wedding ceremony but Brandon made that super easy, by sending us his library of playlists that he put together. We were able to choose a few songs from those playlists that we had never heard before. We also chose to have him play the songs we selected on guitar and it was perfect. During dinner, he walked around with his guitar, entertaining our guests and striking up conversation with every table. During the party portion of the wedding, he did an excellent job in reading the dance floor and choosing music that was inclusive for everyone whilst staying true to our vision. Towards the end of the night, as the older folk began to part and the younger crowd persisted, the music became increasingly of our generation. We had friends dancing that I would have never have thought to see on the dance floor. The night was topped off when we requested he play the last song, of his choice, and he came out to the dance floor and danced with all of us.
Overall, Brandon has an affinity in being able to understand you want and needs in order evoke emotion or to get people dancing. His passion for music is apparent and his talent knocked it out of the park. As more of our friends look to marry their significant other, he will absolutely be recommended by us every time.
You won't regret hiring Brandon!!! My now husband and I don't listen to typical "wedding music", and Brandon worked with us to create a playlist that had some classic wedding songs that everyone loves and can dance to, while also having more alternative/indie music that we genuinely like. We also specifically requested some throwback 2000's dance music like
"yeah!" and "low" which he happily obliged. He was very good at reading the room as well. Later in the night when it was mostly the younger crown dancing - he takes notice and shifts the music to whatever everyone is dancing too. He helped with the timeline events as far as first dance/ parent dance goes to make sure there was a really good flow and nothing would completely cut off dancing. One of the main reasons we hired Brandon was because he also plays acoustic guitar/sings. Our venue has sound restrictions where we can't have any amplified sound outdoors (we had the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner outdoors), so Brandon played acoustic guitar and sang and it was absolutely magical. It was the perfect vibe for our wedding, and while we didn't have any song requests besides our ceremony music, he took notice of what we liked and played accordingly. We had so much fun at the end of the night (maybe too much fun lol) and Brandon even got out on the dance floor with us for the last song. It was an absolute blast and I couldn't have asked for a better night.
Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2020
It was so much fun rocking out to punk Rock with you and your awesome group! I'll never forget getting to play Flogging Molly and jigging with you! So great!
Brandon was fantastic! We got married during a very challenging period (covid, fires, venue uncertainty) and Brandon worked with us throughout. He was super collaborative, responsive, organized and made out event a success! We couldn't have been more happy!
Response from the Vendor on 09/21/2020
Thanks Tom! It was an easy feat with how lovely you and Diana were throughout the entire experience. If I could leave you a review, I would! 5 Stars!
Brandon was so easy to deal with, very even tempered but really fun. He really knows what he is doing n he is so accommodating. We love his easy going personalities n his professionalism. He is very like able guy!
This review is long overdue, but Brandon is by far the best wedding DJ ever. My wife and I were lucky to have him at our wedding back in June 2019, and I still think about how much fun we had that night. Being a DJ myself, I spent hours doing research trying to find a wedding DJ that actually knew how to beat match and mix on the fly. There are a lot of wedding DJs that just stick to a playlist and fade music in and out for transitions without reading the room. Not Brandon. Brandon is a true DJ - he knew exactly what songs to play when, and he kept the dance floor packed for 3 hours. It was such an incredible experience, and I continue to highly recommend him to all of my family and friends. Besides getting married, Brandon was the highlight of the night!
Brandon and his assistant were great! We had a small and intimate wedding and I was a little worried about the dance area being so small. Brandon made my husband and I’s vision come to life and the dance floor always had someone on it! There was added stress due to the changes in the world, but Brandon didn’t skip a beat. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking to have a lively dance floor and enjoy their evening to the fullest!
If I went into detail to start this review about Brandon and listed off how easy he is to work with, how thoroughly he prepares, how fun he makes the selection of the playlists on Spotify, and how engaged he is in the whole process, I would be telling you the truth but burying the lead big time.
Our wedding took place in Sonoma County during the fires and power outages in October. In what was already a stressful time, we made plans to utilize generators to power the venue as much as we could as a contingency and plan with the vendors to make sure this back-up plan would work. Brandon was extremely accommodating and day-of prepped all of the equipment to be quickly transitioned to the back-up power, if needed. This proved to be a good idea as we lost power roughly six minutes into the ceremony! We didn’t need to worry – Brandon was on it and stealthily started the generator so the loss of power was almost imperceptible, and we continued with the ceremony seamlessly.
Brandon and his assistant continued going the extra mile all night. All of our planned events like our first dance, speeches, father/daughter, and mother/son dances went off flawlessly which considering the degree of difficulty was amazing. When issues did pop up, Brandon rolled with it beautifully. At one point, the generators ran low on fuel, but Brandon incorporated that into a small break and then immediately got the party started again. We and our guests were super impressed!
If you want to hire a DJ/MC who will nail the fundamentals (planning, playlist, engagement, and run the flow of the night) then you want Brandon. If you also want someone who will work tirelessly to make sure your event goes off without a hitch in the most extreme conditions then you definitely want to hire Brandon. We cannot recommend him enough – he absolutely made sure we had the wedding we imagined!
We loved working with Brandon. My husband and I were very busy and planned most of the wedding ourselves. Brandon jumped in and took initiative organizationally, which was great because we had so much on our plate. He was the one to schedule initial and follow up consultations (in person and/or by phone), set up a Google document with “To-Dos”, and created Spotify playlists for us to add songs to. Overall, the process was very customizable, but Brandon is there to offer his two cents! We selected playlists with what we wanted during the event (ceremony, first dances, dance floor), but Brandon reads the crowd well and plays bangers when the time is called for. Overall, we had such a great time dancing to all his tunes.
Brandon’s top selling point, however, is how much care he puts into the event. He really caters to your requests beyond just song selections. He wants to know what type of “vibe” you are looking for, and meets those needs. He was great announcing special moments in our wedding (family traditions), and even let my husband get behind the DJ table to spin for a few songs. His assistant, David, was amazing too!
Overall,
- we would go with him again DEFINITELY
- reasonable price and well worth it
- very professional and organized, no qualms!
Brandon’s music was a huge part of making our wedding amazing and he was so easy to work with. I had so many things up in the air, I wasn’t much help with music, and Brandon made sure the lighting, songs, and overall vibe were perfect. From looking up acoustic children’s songs on the fly to selecting dance songs I still sing in my head when I think of that night, I can think of no better wedding music selection than Brandon. We’re so happy we found him!
We could not have been happier with Brandon as our DJ. He was organized, professional, thoughtful, and executed to perfection on the big day. He sent us a questionnaire before the wedding to get to know our style and the mood we wanted to set for each part of the evening. On the day of the event everything ran smoothly from the set up to the execution. One of the things we cared most about was having an awesome dance party and he absolutely delivered. I’ve never put on such a great dance party and I’m glad it was at our wedding. Weeks later and our friends are still raving how fun the music was and how well executed the songs were at pulling out all different generations to the dance floor. Brandon, seriously, thanks for such a great night!

Worlds Greatest Dance Party
The whole process with Brandon was so easy! Communication was great and he helped us through the entire process. We were able to create some amazing playlists for different parts of our wedding (happy hour, dinner and dancing) with the help of Brandon and his deep music collection.
I'm not just saying this because it was my wedding but I have never been on the dance floor for the entire party. Brandon played music that got everyone on their feet and really keep the part going through the night.
I can't recommend Brandon enough. If you want an amazing dance party with music from all decades, this is your guy!
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2019
Spencer, I can't imagine that dance floor without you on it! You're a force of nature and so well loved. It was a great pleasure to facilitate the evening for you spectacular people.
Brandon is incredible! Throughout the whole process he was responsive to every question we had, and was knowledgeable and offered assistance/guidance wherever possible (which was HUGELY appreciated, since we didn't know what we were doing!!)
He was able to keep the party going by being able to "read the room," with a great selection of music, which kept the energy and mood in the whole room up.
On top of that, he's one of the nicest humans we've ever met. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to book a DJ for a wedding, corporate event, or anything else that needs someone to keep things rolling along smoothly.
THANK YOU BRANDON!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2019
Amanda! Thank you so much for the kind words. It takes a truly nice person to know one I suppose (bashfully blushing ;) So glad to hear that the day was so smooth and enjoyable for y'all. Love you!
We cannot say enough how fantastic Brandon was at our wedding. He understood our vision from top to bottom, and executed it perfectly. He was the easiest vendor to work with, was so professional and everything on his end was seamless!
Thank you so much, Brandon for making my family cry happy tears through your perfectly selected music - to creating the craziest party during our reception. My 86 year old grandma was dancing so hard - and I will never forget that you are the reason for creating that moment!
We are so grateful for your work!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2019
Wowowowow! I'm so happy to hear this reflection on your experience Laura! Yes! This is why I love my work so much. Thank you for reminding me.
Brandon and his assistant David were professional and punctual, but more so go with the flow and fun! Brandon was easy to work with and open and willing to mix some special requests. Prompt and responsive with communication, we felt comfortable letting him hold the flow of the evening due to his questions, organization and experience. Thank you Brandon! We had a blast and appreciate you helping us celebrate our special day!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2019
Thank you so much for the kind words. I read this review with a buddy last night and it was remarkable how your words matched what we were discussing, such great confirmation for me that our efforts are being felt. Thank you!
We found Brandon through our wedding planner Christine Garrison of CMG Events. She suggested him because we were interested in having someone play acoustic guitar and singing during the wedding. After chatting with Brandon, we hired him to play the guitar for our ceremony, act as a wandering minstrel during the cocktail hour, and DJ the entire event.
Our ceremony took place outdoors in an open lawn area. Brandon did a great job with setting up the sound. Everyone was able to hear both us and the officiant clearly. The acoustic rendition of Heartbeats (Jose Gonzalez) and Wildflowers (Tom Petty) he played for our processional and recessional were beautiful and really set the mood we were looking for.
Brandon also did a great job DJing the event. He was able to take a small number of songs and expand the playlist to not only fit our tastes but keep the party hopping. We had expected that we would have minimal dancing and that our crowd would mostly just sit around chatting. However, Brandon was able to keep the energy up and the dance floor going throughout the night. It far exceeded our expectations and made the night really memorable.
He was extremely professional throughout the planning process. We had several calls leading up to the wedding, and he made it easy to communicate what we were looking for in the event. We added songs to a few different playlists which he used as a jumping off point. He also provided suggestions for all the important moments (e.g., processionals, recessional, first dance, grand entrance). His contract and other documents were also clear and always sent promptly.
On the day of Brandon arrived on time for set up and did a great job with all aspects (sound, DJing, acoustic performance, and lighting) of the event. He looked extremely professional and was communicative throughout the day, constantly checking in with the planner and us to make sure everything was going well. If he wasn’t sure about a song, he’d ask before playing it. Best of all, he was extremely reasonably priced. His assistant, Josh, was also very nice and did a great job.
I highly recommend hiring the Celebration DJ for your next event.
Brandon and his team were such an amazing choice for our wedding day. Music was hugely important to me and I wanted to choose someone who I felt *really* understood how music could affect a wedding — we found that in Brandon! His process for letting us select our music while adding his own choices and expertise in was the perfect balanc. I had total faith that he would meet us wherever we were at. I got so many compliments after about how fun the party was and I attribute a ton of that to Brandon (and our awesome guests!). I'm so thankful that we chose The Celebration DJ as I truly believe he was the best choice for our amazing wedding!
Brandon was our DJ of choice for our wedding in April. He knocked it out of the park with acoustic renditions of Somewhere Over The Rainbows and When We Fall In for our ceremony, followed by a Wonderwall song-a-long to lead our guests to cocktail area.
The ceremony was well mic'ed and blended in with the scenery. The post-dinner dance party was off the chart. He played all the best songs, read the crowd well, and kept the guests dancing well into the night.
I can't recommend Brandon highly enough if you are looking for a wedding DJ. He is collaborative, thoughtful, and throughout. He's obviously done this many times and will make your special day go smoothly and fun.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Thank you so much Tatyana. My heart sings while reading this review and your elegant words. I'm so glad that you enjoyed my work. Can't wait to throw down with y'all at Burning Man!
I would like to first start this off by saying that Brandon is generally just a wonderful person with a great heart, personality, and vision that makes you want him involved in any event you are planning.
Now to the specifics...my wife and I recently had Brandon and his crew perform for our wedding. He played and sang live music during the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, then MC'ed and DJ'ed the rest of the evening for the reception/party into the night. Brandon is a fantastic singer and musician, and I have to say that while we were uncertain of live music during the ceremony, afterward we felt privileged to have him perform at our wedding. He guided us thorough along the way in picking the right music for our tastes and never made us feel like we had to do things a certain way. He was genuinely interested in what we wanted and made sure to give us a lot of options for music that he was able to perform for. And he has a VERY long list of music he can play, and was even willing to learn new songs if needed. It was fantastic, heartfelt, and beautiful.
For the rest of the wedding, he not only DJ'ed like the certified PRO that he is, but he also helped MC and coordinate things - constantly being engaged with the crowd, flexible in tweaking things on the spot (let's be honest, when do weddings ever go exactly as planned...??)
Brandon made sure the celebration/reception was a blast. We had countless friends and family ask us where and how we found him. Many said it was the most fun wedding they'd been to, and my wife and I agreed that he deserved huge credit for this.
Played a wide range of music to keep everyone engaged, dancing, mingling, and just all-around having fun!! He seems to really enjoy what he does and his passion shows while he is performing.
Were we to do this all over again, Brandon and his team would be the first group that we would contact to ask to perform again. I mean this in all seriousness and without hesitation. If you can book this genius, then count yourselves lucky, and do so while you can!!
Brandon was awesome! He was so thoughtful and helpful on all aspects of music and dancing for our wedding. He not only played great songs for dinner and to get the dance party started at our wedding, but also did an amazing live guitar and singing performance for our ceremony - and was able to play all of our favorite songs. We had many guests comment on how great he and his assistant were and how fun it was that they even rocked out with some dance moves behind the dj table. We had a great time at our wedding, and a big part of this was due to how organized and fun Brandon was. We highly recommend Brandon for anything wedding. Thank you Brandon!
Throughout the entire planning process, Brandon was incredibly responsive and fun! We loved talking with him about our musical interests, which are bit out of the norm, and he listed off related artists right away as suggestions to add to the playlist. Collaborating with him on our wedding playlists was incredibly easy and lots of fun! Being a part of the playlist creation/brainstorm helped us to get really excited leading up to our wedding! Once the wedding day came, he played all of our "must plays" and all our guests were commenting at how much the music fit our personalities and tastes! This was directly tied to the fact that Brandon took the time to understand our preferences and listened very closely when chatting with us.
During our wedding we had a bit of a delay before dinner, and the little kids at our wedding were getting a little bit restless, so Brandon set up a mini "kids" dance floor especially for them! The kids LOVED it, and it was so kind of him to set it up and entertain them. Having the kids at our wedding was very important to us and it made it super special for them, and therefore, for us :)
Brandon was an incredible part of our wedding day. He went above and beyond our expectations a delivered exactly what we wanted in a short amount of time. He was extremely friendly and passionate about his work. He made us feel like we were his priority. If you are looking for a wedding DJ with integrity Brandon is your man!
Brandon far exceeded our expectations of a wedding DJ in many ways. We were scared because we've seen what's out there at other weddings... yikes. Brandon is the perfect mixture between professionalism and FUN! He gets things started early in terms of asking/guiding what we want for each and every section of the wedding. He can give a wide spread of recommendations if you're feeling stumped (like us for some of it), and accommodates for anything that you want when you know what you want. He doesn't just show up and play stuff; he learns your story, gets to know you and encorporates that seamlessly into the wedding. He's very good with people at the wedding - someone you're proud to have there. Very personable. We were just blown away at how much attention, pre-meditation and focus he puts toward making your experience as good as it can be. He made a process that was more complicated than we knew, go easy. His equipment is modern and extensive, and priced per item so you don't pay for what you don't want, yet are not limited because he pretty much has everything you might want. His method of combining what you want, and what your spouse wants into one musical file, then filling in the blanks with like-music is great... couldn't have been better. We sincerely recommend Brandon. If we were to do it again, we'd choose him again. Honestly. Thank you Brandon!
Response from the Vendor on 01/25/2019
Thanks Christopher! I'm so stoked to read how you appreciate the way I work. Getting to officiate and DJ your wedding was a new height for me and I'm excited that my horizons have been increased. Thanks for inspiring me to step it up!
Brandon did an amazing job at our wedding in Lodi, California. He was extremely easy to work with, very attentive, and made sure we had all the important details covered. Brandon's communication was great - music was one less thing we had to worry about as our wedding day was approaching. He gave us tons of tips and suggestions that really enhanced the way we created our playlists and themes. Brandon was great on the microphone as well, and had the dance floor busy as soon as dinner ended. We recommend him for your wedding!
Brandon was outstanding, period. Amazing. Before the wedding he made us a Spotify playlist of the songs we didn't want him to play, as well as several of what we did want. He balanced our wants with his vast knowledge and made several eclectic playlists that were perfect for us. Then at our wedding, the guests cleared out earlier than expected (it was outdoors, and it got cold) -- and Brandon played until literally the last two people left.
You've got a million DJs to choose from. There's only one Brandon. Hire him.
Brandon is AMAZING! I only have great things to say about him, and the pure love and talent that he has for music shines through as soon as you speak with him. The music at our wedding was a huge concern for my husband and I, and honestly we were stressing about it before we got in touch with Brandon. He was so helpful and easy to work with throughout the whole process, and was responsive to all of my many emails...I mean I had never planned a wedding before! He walked us through everything step by step and communicated with us through email, phone and Skype. We created collaborative playlists where we could add music as soon as one popped into our head, and we edited accordingly to make the music selection for our big day perfect. He is amazing at reading the vibe of the evening and can keep people up and dancing on the dance floor the entire evening. We received compliment after compliment about Brandon's epic musical skills and how they had never danced so much in their life! Also, if you want to add a special touch to your wedding, have Brandon do live music during your cocktail hour or ceremony. His voice is absolutely lovely and it was just another special addition to a wonderful memorable day. Brandon will not disappoint!

I feel so seen and appreciated reading this review Laura. Thank you! I definitely get why your friends made a video about how much they love and appreciate you. You're incredible! Hope to see y'all again along the dusty road someday.
Brandon was so helpful and easy to
work with! He made sure we had exactly what we needed! He was super nice and easy to talk to! His phone call meetings were so convenient and he was easy to reach! His payment policy was also very easy to work with! He made sure everyone was having a good time! He also brought along a Spanish speaking assistant which was a plus and he too was very kind and fun to work with! I’m so glad I found Brandon in such a short notice! His way of personalizing your playlist and package is something I will forever be grateful for! Everyone at our wedding said how cool he was and that he did an amazing job! He was one of our least stressful vendors!! He deserves these five stars! If you’re in the Bay Area and need an affordable and reasonably priced DJ Brandon is the way to go! High quality professional work for an affordable price = happy bride!!

Oh thank you, thank you Magaly! I loved your wedding and I was really impressed with how much Banda music your family and friends would dance to and how hard they danced! One for my record books for sure!
Brandon is an amazing DJ. We were planning from out of state, but Brandon always managed to make us feel more confident after each meeting. Brandon went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. He was responsible and responsive. The ceremony was great and the sound was perfect, from volume to reliability to consistency. And it went smoothly despite Brandon having to juggle the two locations for our entirely outdoor wedding. The vibe was exactly what we were hoping for, and we even got some shoutouts for some of the songs that were played. When searching for DJs, we didn't want someone that makes the show about themselves or make any awkward jokes, Brandon was the perfect match. He was there to deliver seamless music and chime in with his soothing voice when most appropriate. Brandon helped make our wedding day more romantic and perfect. We could not recommend him more. Thank you Brandon!

This review is music to my heart Zoe! I’m so glad the day was so enjoyable for you and my efforts helped. Blessings to you both in your lives together.
Brandon was our DJ for our wedding and he was everything we could ever want in a DJ. He was super on it, flexible, great to work with, got the party started and kept it going through the night. After his "last song" everyone at the wedding was cheering "one more song! one more song!" We and our guests loved Brandon and highly recommend him. We especially loved love his style and vibe. He never made it about him and always kept it about us. Brandon is a great musician and he sang and played guitar for our processional and recessional. It was beautiful and more then we could have asked for. If we ever need a DJ in the future, we will definitely call Brandon for the job!

Emily, your wedding was so much fun and your guests were a blast. I think they could have danced till 6am! The Leonard Lake Reserve is such an incredibly beautiful venue and hanging out there with you all on Sunday, kayaking and rope-swinging w...
as such a great way to relax after the big party. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad everything went so well.
Brandon was outstanding. My wife and I love music and spent a lot of time thinking about the mood we wanted for our wedding: classy, secular, with a worldly groove. Brandon corresponded with us dozens of times, re-working custom playlists to suit our tastes. We ended up with playlists that tastefully spanned classic rock, afrobeat, and contemporary jazz. Planning with him, we got the impression of a creative professional who clearly loves music and ceremony.
On the day of the wedding, he and his assistant Peter were punctual, well-dressed, and relaxed. I’ve been to several outdoor weddings where the sound is quiet or muddy and the ceremony ends up inaudible. Fortunately for us, Brandon has a high-quality sound system and discrete body microphones, so all the speaking was clear and appropriately levelled. We got zero complaints from guests about hearing the words. For the ceremony, Brandon also hid the speakers behind a line of trees, so they are invisible in all of our pictures.
Brandon kept the music going during dinner and MC’d the speeches. When it came time for the reception, he had a second sound system set up by the dance floor. Besides the first dance song (‘This must be the place’ by the Talking Heads), we hadn’t discussed the reception playlist. This was fine: Brandon and Peter kept our guests dancing until midnight! They played familiar hip-hop, pop, and rock tunes. The song choice and transitions were perfect. Seeing our friends and family dancing late into the night made the reception so much more fun and memorable for my wife and me, and I really thank Brandon for that. Many of our guest
