DJs
This four-hour reception package combines DJ and MC services with a tuned reception sound system, wireless microphones, and uplighting at an entry-level price point. Built for couples who want a confident, complete entry-level entertainment package without paying for extras they will not use.
What is included
Four hours of DJ and MC services, a reception sound system with wireless microphones for toasts and announcements, uplighting for venue ambience, pre-event consultations to dial in music preferences and run-of-show, and travel within the service area.
Four hours of DJ and MC services
Coverage spans the most music-critical reception moments, from the grand entrance and first dance to dinner background sets, parent dances, cake cutting, and the open dance floor. The MC announces every milestone with the right energy and partners with your planner so the timeline runs without awkward silences.
Reception sound system and microphones
A professional reception sound system handles indoor ballrooms, garden tents, vineyard estates, and waterfront venues. Audio is balanced for both spoken word and dance volume with separate channels for microphones and music. Wireless mics are included for parent toasts, best-of-show speeches, and any announcements throughout the night.
Uplighting for venue ambience
Uplights wash walls, columns, and architectural features in a chosen color palette, transforming the reception space and giving photographers a beautiful visual moment. Color is selected during the planning consultation and locked in before guests arrive.
Pre-event consultations
Planning is collaborative. You receive consultations to walk through your music preferences, must-play list, do-not-play notes, parent-dance picks, and any cultural or genre preferences. The DJ blends those choices with crowd-tested classics to keep guests on the floor.
Open-format DJ programming
Music ranges across Top 40, Latin, Oldies, Classic Rock, House, Dance, Hip-Hop, and various cultural genres. The DJ reads the room in real time and adapts the set so the energy matches the moment, whether mellow during dinner or full-throttle on the dance floor.
Travel within California
Travel is included for venues across California, with a home base in Oakland and regular dates spanning the Bay Area, Wine Country, the Central Valley, the Central Coast, Lake Tahoe, and Southern California. Long-distance bookings can be quoted with travel and accommodations as needed.
