What is included
Five hours of professional DJ and MC services for the reception, multiple sound setups for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, wireless microphones for speeches, toasts, and announcements, professional-quality dance lighting, all pre-event meetings and playlist preparation, and travel time up to one hour included.
Five hours of DJ and MC for reception
Coverage spans cocktail hour, dinner sets, the grand entrance, first dance, parent dances, cake cutting, the open dance floor, and the late-night sing-along. The MC announces every milestone with the right energy and partners with your planner to keep the timeline tight, so the night flows without awkward silences.
Multiple sound setups for cocktails, dinner, and dancing
Sound is zoned across cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor. Levels are tuned for each phase, with smooth crossfades as the energy shifts. The system handles indoor ballrooms, garden tents, vineyard estates, and waterfront venues, with separate channels for microphones and music so toasts and tracks both come through clean.
Wireless microphones for speeches, toasts, and announcements
Professional wireless microphones are included for parent toasts, best-of-show speeches, and any announcements throughout the night. Mics are line-checked before guests arrive and handed off discreetly so the focus stays on the speaker.
Professional-quality dance lighting
Dance lighting transforms the reception space into a defined dance floor once dinner wraps. Color, pattern, and movement are programmed to your aesthetic and synced with the music, with options ranging from soft warm tones during dinner to high-energy color sweeps for the dance set.
All pre-event meetings, planning, and playlist preparation
Planning is collaborative and unlimited within the package. Multiple meetings or video chats walk through your music preferences, must-play list, do-not-play notes, parent-dance picks, and run-of-show timing. Spotify and Apple playlists can be shared as references, and the DJ blends those choices with crowd-tested classics to keep the floor moving.
Travel up to one hour
Travel within a one-hour drive is included. The home base is San Jose with regular dates spanning Napa, the Peninsula, the South Bay, the East Bay, San Francisco, and Monterey. Longer-distance weddings can be quoted with travel and accommodations as needed.
Perfect for
Reception-only weddings hosting 30 to 300 guests, especially when the ceremony is at a separate venue or handled by another officiant or musician. Popular for vineyard receptions, ballroom dinners with a dance floor, garden parties, and any celebration where the focus is keeping guests dancing from cocktail hour through last call.
Frequently asked questions
Is ceremony coverage included? No. The reception-only tier focuses on cocktail hour through the end of the dance floor. The all-in-one tier adds full ceremony sound and a wireless lapel microphone for the officiant.
Can the five hours be split across the day? Yes. Some couples allocate part of the block to cocktail hour and dinner, with the bulk reserved for the open dance floor. The DJ helps map this during planning.
What music genres do you specialize in? Open-format with deep crates spanning Top 40, hip-hop, R&B, Latin, indie, classic rock, motown, disco, and dance. Customized to your guest list and run sheet during planning.
How early do you arrive? Standard load-in is 90 to 120 minutes before guests arrive, with extra time added for venues that require freight elevators or long load paths.
