    Dancing the night away to DEEJAY AL at my wedding!
    Hasina F.

    Not sure what these other reviews below are talking about, I heard about Deejay Al the first time from a family wedding that I couldn't attend to unfortunately. All I kept hearing from family members was how fun the wedding was because the DJ made it a blast. A few months later I met him for his birthday party and he was DJing at On Broadway in San Diego and was verrry impressed by how he got the crowd dancing! I got to know him and was so excited by how diverse he was. He has all types of music and can speak many languages. During that time I was engaged and so I felt it would be WONDERFUL if I could book him. My husband and I come from very different backgrounds and I knew DJ Al could bring the different cultures together. When I told him I was interested in having him for my wedding he was nothing but AMAZING!! He said yes to all my requests :) This guy was friendly, professional, helpful, understanding and went above and beyond with what is on his contract. He played Afghan, Persian, American, and Indian music and made my diverse guests dance the night away!! He had music from all types of genres and all the hit songs. He is so NOT outdated. He worked with my budget and the day of the wedding he even brought lighting :D which I couldn't afford. This DJ, made my wedding so much fun! He is confident and charming. He should be because he knows his job and he owns it. He is a great talent and is a smart business man. You have to trust him when he says he can do it! He delivered everything I wanted and more. I would give him more stars if I could!!

    I have been to many of his shows in San Diego over the last few years and every experience has been awesome. By far my favorite DJ to go see. He seems very comfortable in both large venues and small events. One thing I like the most about Deejay Al and the first thing I noted when we saw him is that he cares a lot about the people he plays for. He is not some cocky DJ that just plays whatever, not paying attention to the room. Deejay Al will get any party started and keep it going! When I started hearing him DJ on Jammin Z90 I was super stoked. Makes driving home from work a lot more enjoyable. Check out his new mix tape Party Life! I have it on repeat now and can't stop playing it. Ask my wife, she will confirm. haha Speaking of my lovely wife, we hired Al for our wedding this last December and couldn't be happier with his work and his performance. When we were first planning our wedding, we were worried about who to have as our DJ. My wife is Afghan. They have very traditional music that they play at their weddings. We didn't want a boring wedding though! I'm half Chinese and white and had family coming from all over. We knew from Deejay Al's experience that he was the man for the job. And he came through for us. He is very professional. With the busy schedule he has he still makes time for you and makes you feel like you are getting great service. He is confident and he knows his stuff. He has a lot of experience doing parties and weddings and we turned to him for advice. Was sad to see these other two poor reviews. It seems like they were just trying to bad mouth this guy. He deserves a great rating and people should know that he is a top notch DJ.

    You might be wondering if Deejay Al really lives up to all the hype? I can assure you he does and then some! He has amazing taste in music, knows how to read a crowd, and throw an EPIC dance party!! He played the perfect mix of Persian, American and international music for our Iranian-American wedding. All of our friends and family raved about how good he was how much fun they had dancing the night away. What really surpassed our expectations is how amazing he is as an MC! He's thoughtful and HILARIOUS and knows how to pump up a crowd. This might not be the first quality you look for in a deejay, but it honestly makes all the difference. Dropping some jokes between speeches, getting the crowd excited for your grand entrance / first dance - it all adds to the energy and excitement of the evening and I can honestly say it would not have been the same without Deejay Al! Hiring him was easily one of the best decision we made for our wedding!

We knew the importance of good music and DJ for a good dance floor, arguably the most important aspect of any good party. In our case we worked with them with our wedding at Venue 808. We had big aspirations of creating a club like vibe for our indoor dance floor. We worked with Jeremy on logistics and he was pertinent to track all the details. What sets him and Nick apart from the rest are their "human" perspective to delivering stellar service. It's no surprise that the wedding industry at large can feel cold and for massive profit. Crew at Party People were constantly going above and beyond to deliver a great product and service and did it without nickel and dimeing every single detail. Speaking with Jeremy on logistics was so refreshing in this way. He constantly provided reccomendations from his industry experience but never pushed too hard on the upsell. I could tell he genuinely cared, and that's not the baseline in the wedding industry. Class act! Day of, Nick was the absolute man. He was great in communication leading up to the wedding, jumping on several calls to make sure music and timeline expectations were dialed in. Especially as we had a decent range of music to move through. Classic wedding bangers, Justice, Missy Elliot, Basement Jaxx, Drake , Fred again. All over. He was also masterclass at pivoting timelines on the fly. Always down to shift at a moment or bride's notice LOL. I originally chose Party People because they had the best reviews local to San Diego I could find, I fully understand why. Thank you Party People !

We loved looking through all the photos of our guests. DJ Allen was also very organized, professional, efficient and super easy to communicate with. Our two meetings with him were simple and he nailed our music tastes. Our reception was a hit and the music was so good. We literally did not leave the dance floor from the time it opened up until the lights came on. DJ Allen kept the crowd hyped and the energy was high throughout the night.

We contacted Extreme DJ about a year prior to our wedding. We talked to Alex who was incredibly responsive and helpful. He walked us through the packages and the process upfront. One reason we picked them was their broad selection of DJs, the way they let us actually select who to match with, and the fact that they were ok with explicit songs at our request, when other DJ groups were not. We told Alex what we were looking for (type of music vibe, bilingual DJs, etc) and he gave us a few DJs to look into. They all had mix samples which led us to picking Jesse. Jesse met with us a few times prior to our wedding and made sure we had all details settled. When we weren't super sure about things, he gave us playlists and other recommendations to help us decide. He was incredibly patient with us especially as we were indecisive about a few things and changed things along the way. On the day of, it was honestly the best experience we could've ever asked for. Jesse checked in with us right at grand entrance to kick things off, and continued to do so throughout the night. The flow of the program was great and his mixes were even better. We had a very diverse guest group and everyone felt welcomed with how he handled the music and emceeing. All our guests keep telling us that it was the longest they had been on a wedding dance floor ever, especially since we added a few extra hours. I highly recommend extreme, and especially Jesse if you're looking for a fun time at your wedding!

He gave us access to a very comprehensive online music planner where we could map out every detail, from ceremony processional and recessional songs to our grand entrance, first dance, cake cutting, and last dance. Every single song was played exactly how we wanted and at the perfect timing. We also really appreciated the ability to schedule unlimited calls. Eric was always responsive, easy to communicate with, and incredibly professional. The lighting setup, especially the monogram and dance floor lighting, was absolutely beautiful and elevated the entire atmosphere. On the wedding day, Eric brought such great energy and truly made the night unforgettable. Our guests loved the music and were on the dance floor all night. He really knows how to read the room and keep the party going. Extreme DJ exceeded all of our expectations. If you want a fun, smooth, and unforgettable wedding, we highly recommend DJ Eric and the entire team.

Mancat worked with us to curate our playlists, but his real talent is reading a crowd and commanding the dance floor. I can confidently say Mancat's skill, knowledge, and passion as a DJ, MC, and event coordinator are invaluable. He clearly loves what he does, and he works harder than anyone to give his clients the best experience possible. He thrives off of seeing everyone have fun, and it shows! If you want a wedding DJ who truly goes above and beyond, and cares about your wedding day as much as you do, you won't find anyone better than DJ Mancat!
