We had a fantastic experience with Second Song and our DJ Jeff Collins for our September 14th wedding. Everyone on the Second Song team (and Rob in particular) was very responsive and communicative. The virtual meeting with DJ Jeff went smoothly, and the shared Google Doc that Second Song provided to track the event details was intuitive and easy to use. Rob and his team helped us make custom cuts of our ceremony music at no additional cost. We also booked our uplights through their team, and they were beautiful. Not only could you select the color, but the lights could also be programmed to cycle through colors for more of a party vibe. I could not recommend DJ Jeff Collins more highly. He was professional and on time, and most importantly, had incredible energy. He hit all of our requests for the evening, both for the dinner portion of the night and the dance party afterwards. He worked seamlessly with our planner and made all of the right announcements at the right time, and a large part of the evening's success was due to his energy and enthusiasm. Thank you Second Song for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! If you are on the market for a wedding DJ (or a DJ for any large event), look no further!

Words cannot begin to describe how impressed and happy we were with Seth's DJ skills!!! We knew he would do great, but the team blew it out of the water! Seth's app is super handy for planning the exact songs you want at truly every moment of the night. We used a different song for each person/group who walked down the aisle, which we thought would maybe be a bit complicated, but Seth knew exactly what to do and timed them all perfectly. We also wanted a song to play right as we kissed at the end of the ceremony and Seth knew exactly when to start playing it -- it was perfect! So many people came up to us complimenting our choice of DJ -- saying things like, "This is the best music I've ever heard at a wedding!" Safe to say, Seth and his team crushed it. And it really comes across that he truly loves what he does, which is always great to see :) Definitely recommend!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

I simply cannot emphasize how amazing Lily Press & Simon Linn-Gerstein are. After falling in love with their music from hearing it on their website, we got in touch with them to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the very start of this process, Lily & Simon have gone above and beyond to help make our wedding day special. Their organization, professionalism, and talent made this part of our wedding planning process (a generally stressful time) feel so effortless and happy. They were always quick to respond and communicated with us so well that we always felt we were in good hands (not to mention it has been SUCH a joy to talk to them). Lily & Simon were truly one of the few wedding vendors we had that I NEVER had a single worry or hesitation about and I cannot recommend them enough. Their beautiful music helped shape our whole ceremony and the custom composition they composed for us (ABBA’s “I Have A Dream”), which we used for our recessional, had everyone in happy tears. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their beautiful playing as much as we did and we will always remember what an amazing experience we had with them. Lily & Simon - thank you SO much!!!

The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! From our initial phone call with Meredith, we knew we were in excellent hands. She took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and musical tastes, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. Communication was prompt, fun, and Meredith was so approachable throughout the planning process. On the big day, the band blew us away with their incredible talent and ability to perfectly execute our song requests, from jazz to oldies to classic rock. As musicians ourselves, we were so impressed by their skill level and experience and professionalism. During cocktail hour, two musicians played jazz, then they switched to rock mode for the reception. They truly made it feel like our own personal concert and kept people on the dance floor for literally 3 hours! The energy was palpable from their very first note, and their song selections kept guests of all ages dancing all night long. They ended the evening with “Purple Rain” by Prince and it made my life.

DJ Nahchey and DASH entertainment do a great job coordinating all your musical needs for any type of event - for us it was our wedding. From the beginning it went smoothly and he and his team are very thorough and responsive. We chose DJ Becca who is very nice and was up our alley of musical taste. Our goal was for a dance vibe type of wedding but there were a few miscues with the songs she played. We’d hope she would read the room better and continue to play songs that she noticed people were enjoying but her transitions between songs were a bit odd. Nonetheless, she was a joy to work with and maybe with a bit more direction (our fault, not hers!) this would be a 5 star review. Highly recommend reaching out to DJ Nahchey and DASH Entertainment, they have many DJs to choose from!

DJ Tyler Osborne

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

I launched my own DJ business in 2021, but I’ve been a professional DJ and MC for over five years, working with top Southern California companies like Second Song, SoCal DJ Ent., Vital Event Group, and N-Effect. I’ve performed at premier wedding venues, including Calamigos Ranch, Bel-Air Bay Club, The Fig House, and Rancho Las Lomas. Beyond weddings, I’ve been trusted to bring the energy to private events for high-profile clients like DSW Shoes, Google, SpaceX, and the Academy Museum. With a deep passion for music, seamless event execution, and keeping the dance floor alive, I’m excited to bring my expertise to your next event.

The best testimonial I can give is the story of how my husband and I found DJ Tyler and hired him for our wedding. A few months after getting engaged (and prior to setting a date or booking a venue) my then-fiancé and I attended a party where Tyler was DJing. We intended to leave the party after an hour, but ended up staying for three hours because Tyler was playing banger after banger. I approached him and asked if he performed at weddings, and I was happy to learn that weddings are DJ Tyler’s full time gig. About a year later, Tyler was the first wedding vendor we hired, as having the right DJ was one of our top priorities. Throughout the planning process, Tyler was communicative, responsive, and extremely professional. He gave helpful feedback on our proposed reception timeline and provided suggestions for building a playlist that would ensure a packed dance floor the entire night. Regarding our music, my husband and I gave Tyler the thematic suggestion “50% soul train and funk/50% early 2000s hip hop and pop bangers” (shoutout to millennial couples), and he understood the assignment more perfectly than I could have asked for. Our wedding was this past Saturday 6/28/25, and our guests cannot stop raving about how much they enjoyed the immaculate dance floor vibes that Tyler curated. Friends and family members commented that Tyler was noticeably reading the room to gauge which music the guests were enjoying most and adjusting the playlist accordingly. In addition to being a fantastic DJ and MC, he is also a super nice person who is awesome and pleasant to work with. We’re already thinking about throwing another party and keeping Tyler on as a “DJ on retainer” for all future special events

(Jane + Jon) Our Story Together we bring you 20+ years of experience in having and creating fun, and YU & US was created as an embodiment of our partnership today. Co-Founder and DJ, Jon has a passion for finding and playing the best tunes, which is the winning combination any client would want for their special occasion. We have planned and DJed many clients’ weddings and events, but it wasn’t after we planned our own wedding in November 2018 that we understood the true stressful reality of planning. Because of this and because we own this business together, we empathize with the strain wedding planning sometimes puts on engaged couples.

Jon worked well with us and catered to all the requests I specifically had. He was attentive, kind, and kept everything flowing really well the day of the wedding. Many of our guests commented how well his mixing was and played to the crowd's reactions, and got everyone hyped up throughout the entire night.

Having spent most my life in the entertainment business since starting out working professionally in the Theatre, Television and Various Talent Groups and Agencies eventually working my way as a Lead Performer / Vocalist & Emcee! My experience also includes several years working for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as the lead Performer on many Maiden Voyages. I absolutely love my work and take great pride in every celebration as if were my very own providing my clients with the trust & confidence I sincerely feel they deserve, always in good taste and moving in a festive and comfortable fashion!

I don’t even know how to put into words how grateful I am for Michael—the world’s best wedding DJ. I first saw Michael in action at a wedding I attended a few years ago. We had such an incredible time that I turned to my boyfriend and said, “When we get married, I want him as our DJ.” Fast forward three years—we got engaged, and I immediately looked up Michael and reached out. And I’m so glad I did, because he was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Not only did Michael help us create the perfect wedding day timeline, but he also took the time to really get to know us as a couple. He gathered all the little details to personalize the day and make everything feel truly us. Over the five months of planning, we met with him 3–4 times (both in person and via Zoom). Each time, he came incredibly prepared—he had a full draft timeline ready from the very first meeting and offered helpful suggestions to improve the flow of the day. He was always open to our ideas, gave us his honest professional opinion when needed, and made sure we were 100% happy with every decision. He even helped us choose songs for those “blank” moments when we couldn’t decide. His input was spot-on and made those moments even more special. On the wedding day, Michael arrived early, set up quickly, and made everything look amazing—the lighting was perfect. The ceremony music was timed flawlessly, and everything ran so smoothly. When it came time for our grand entrance, Michael got everyone hyped up, setting the perfect tone for the evening. He kept us on schedule but was also flexible when needed. And the absolute highlight of the night? The dancing. My husband and I love to dance—it’s our favorite part of weddings—and Michael made sure it was the best dance party ever. He brought so much energy (and even fun dance props!) that kept the party going strong. Our friends and family kept raving about how much fun they had, and many told us it was the most fun they’ve ever had dancing at a wedding. So many people told us the best part of our wedding was the DJ—and we couldn’t agree more. Choosing Michael was one of the best decisions we made. He helped create a night we’ll never forget, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Michael!
