Music Range
Open-format mixing draws on a deep catalog spanning Top 40, Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin, Pop, Rock, Disco, EDM, Dance, Jazz, Country, and global music. Custom playlists are part of every booking, with separate sections for entrances, dinner, and the dance set. A do-not-play list is taken seriously, and a guest request queue is offered in advance.
How the Night Runs
The DJ arrives early to set up the reception system, run a level check, and confirm the timeline with the coordinator before guests are seated for dinner. Dinner music is curated to the couple's taste at a volume where guests can still hear conversation. Toasts and announcements run through the wireless mics with hand signals worked out in advance. Once dancing opens, the DJ reads the room and shifts genre and energy as the floor responds, ending the night with a planned last song.

Planning Approach
Booking opens an initial consultation to map preferences, must-plays, do-not-plays, and cultural-music priorities. Music planning is handled through a dedicated planning tool so couples can drag-and-drop selections at their own pace and revise across the months leading up to the event. A face-to-face event review locks in the timeline, microphone cues, lighting transitions, and any add-on logistics so the day-of timeline runs without friction.
Travel and Logistics
Service travels across San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Marin, the Peninsula, San Jose, and the wider North Bay and Wine Country region. Setup, performance, and teardown are coordinated with the venue and the rest of the vendor team so the couple's day-of timeline runs without friction.
