We are so happy we decided to work with Golden Bell for our wedding day music! My husband and I wanted the flexibility of a DJ with the high-energy and interactivity of a band, and Golden Bell delivered. The DJ/band hybrid got all of our guests out on the dance floor, and kept them there all night. We heard from so many guests that it was the most fun wedding reception they'd been to, and Scott and the team made that happen.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

We hired DJ Kaleb to DJ our wedding and reception. We couldn't imagine a more seamless process. From the beginning, Kaleb was very communicative, very open to any ideas we had, and really enjoyable and fun to work with. He let us give him a solidified list of songs along with our full wedding vibe (funky/disco). Kaleb understood the assignment. He played all of the songs we really wanted to hear while also finding some other songs that fit our vibes to a T....also made sure he didn't play songs we didn't want to hear. We asked him if he could give our wedding guests certain queue's and guide the wedding on the mic...the day before, we even asked him to say a few things word for word on the microphone. He did just that and absolutely killed it. Dancing DJ productions was a very communicative, organized, and professional company throughout...plus had a very competitive price. Thanks so much for making our big day so special and groovy!

We were recommended to GE Productions through our wedding coordinator Holly Kalkin. She knew we wanted someone who was more than your "basic wedding DJ." Sure there are many DJs out there that can get the job done, but we wanted someone who could really create our vibe as we are really big music lovers and wanted a large range. She recommend DJ Jimmy Grizzley of GE Productions and from our first phone call, we knew he was dedicated to his craft and his clients. After signing our contract he sent us private lists that helped us sort through different music we wanted to hear at the various segments of the day/night. There were lots of little details that we didn't think of, but he asked us in advance...... like how long we anted to have our first dance and a suggestion for the Grand Entrance as we had a big production planned. When it came to our big day, the lighting looked amazing, the music was off the chart, and he did such a great job emceeing the wedding. He really did a good job of mixing in a few older tracks (that we didn't originally want) because we wanted our older relatives to feel included (his suggestion). My dad ended up giving him more of a tip ..... bah ha ha. In the end everyone was happy, and most of all me n my hubs. Thanks Jimmy, you're the best!!

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

Weddings for me are the most rewarding events we play. I take very seriously the fact that the couple has entrusted us to be a part of the biggest day of their lives and there is nothing better than hearing the entertainment was the highlight of the reception. From allowing the couple to choose exactly what they want to hear from our song list to allowing them or their party goers to be a part of the show, my goal is to work with them to make sure the band exceeds their expectations. This approach has allowed the 80'z All-Stars and MSE to flourish for 20+ years.

You’re not just planning a party. You’re designing a core memory. That’s why I don’t just press play—I craft a high-end, high-energy experience that feels like you on your best day ever. From the ceremony to the final dance floor moment, I read the room in real time, blend the genres you love, and elevate every transition so the night flows like a movie scene. You deserve a wedding that feels effortless, sounds amazing, and vibes right all night. That’s exactly what I bring. But here’s the thing—I’m a solo op with limited dates. Once a weekend is gone, it’s gone. If we vibe, don’t wait. Let’s lock it in before someone else does.

Lawrence of DJ Taylor Sounds was incredible. He was great to work with, communicated regularly, and had an incredible knowledge of music. His planning process was super thorough, ensuring that every moment of the wedding was accounted for. Especially at this price, his services cost about half of other DJs that we looked into. I'd definitely recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for a DJ.
