I absolutely cannot recommend DJ Escence enough! He did my friend's wedding a few years ago, and our own experience with him was five stars!!!! Cesar is extremely professional, excellent and prompt at communication, incredibly easy to work with, and just an overall awesome human being. He went above and beyond and has all the necessary skills, equipment, and personality to make your event super smooth and memorable! He is also incredibly detail oriented and well-prepared, I was so impressed with him from the get go. You will not regret hiring him, he was an amazing vendor and one of my favorites!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!!!! read more

Super late review! We hired DJ Escence back in July for my daughter's quinceanera. From the cold sparks, clouds, monogram, music...you made it all perfect, exactly what we imagined! Every time I looked at dance floor there was always someone dancing and that is exactly I wanted. I had a mix of guest who like all different types of music. Any genre I asked for DJ Escence played. His MC skills were on point! Thank you DJ Escence for keeping the party alive! Without you there it wouldn't have been a party! read more

Our organization hired Cesar to DJ this year's Special needs Prom. It was an inclusive prom with students with NO special needs. All the students, including all the chaperones, had a great time. Cesar was on time and professional. I'll definitely reach out next year when we plan the 2025 prom (God willing). Thank you Cesar for making the students feel heard and giving them a time they will remember! read more

We couldn't be happier hiring DJ Essence as our emcee and DJ on our wedding day this past couple weeks. From the wedding ceremony all the way till the end of reception, he got it all handled! He really listened to what we wanted and delivered everything we asked for. Love how he is on the mic as an emcee, very professional and high energy. Music flows real well, my guests and myself danced the entire time! He also provided the monogram you see in the pic which was customized to our preference. We opt in for the up-lighting which I highly recommend to add as well. My husband and I were really happy with how everything turned out. I would for sure hire him again for when I have big events and I recommend him to my family and friends! read more

Dj Escence!!! Wow... where do I start?!?! He is so professional and super accommodating! He knows what he's doing. He brings HYPE to the Crowd and gets everyone going! The most AWESOMEST MC and DJ in the OC. He DJ'd my wedding. He went out of his way and made sure he tailored our wedding to our liking. He was open to ideas and made a lot of positive suggestions on what we can do to with music, up lighting, MC-ing, monograms and itinerary for the day. He was ON TOP of it! Super friendly and kind and worked with everyone (at the venue) with no hesitation. I highly recommend him. He made our day extra special! read more

I booked DJ Escence/Cesar after reading reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. He did a fantastic job! He played a mix of music that was pleasing for ALL of our guests (reggaeton, hip hop, pop, and country). Everyone was on the dance floor. It was super easy to email him our play list and to coordinate with him. He was able to set up dance lights for us, which added to the fun. I highly recommend using DJ Escence! read more

Cesar was awesome!!! We hired him for our wedding and we couldn't be happier! He followed up and asked for our opinion and he definitely delivered! The music from start to finish was amazing, had our whole party dancing and having fun. Thank you Cesar for helping make our day amazing! read more

I literally could not ask for a better DJ! From planning, to set up, to covering every single thing we didn't think of, Cesar is a true professional. He listened to our ideas about music and ran with it. He mixed music from different decades and cultures. The dance floor was full all night! He came on time and prepared. We didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're planning an event or something as special as a wedding I highly recommend you hire DJ essence! read more

I know I'm way late, but its better than nothing! Cesar was amazing to work with and very helpful! Out of all the weddings I went to, he was the only DJ that stood out and kept the guests dancing. So when it came time for my wedding I already knew who to hire. I did a surprised Father/Daughter dance and asked Cesar to create the mix for me. He was able to provide what I needed and I had enough time to practice with my dad for our dance. He played all the songs I had on my playlist and didn't play any music I did not like. He even had some Tagalog music since it was a Filipino/Mexican wedding. Overall, it was a great event and Cesar was amazing and kept everyone dancing until we got kicked out. read more

This is a late review but we hired DJ Escence for my baby shower last August. He was very professional and he really got the crowd going! He is really good at what he does and I definitely recommend him! We are throwing parties this year as well and DJ Escence will be the one I book. Thanks so much for an amazing experience! read more

DJ Essence was exactly what we wanted when we imagined our special day. He was extremely professional, fun and easy to work with. He had a beautiful wedding monogram generated for us to be projected behind the dancefloor and came prepared with a lighting kit that added so much to the vibe. He accommodated all our requests, showed up early and eager to work, and made our wedding a dance party we will never forget. read more

We hired DJ Escence for our wedding a couple months ago and all I can say is that you should hire him for YOUR wedding/event. Cesar made the planning phase painless and simple. We were able to incorporate many of the songs that we wanted, especially for all aspects of the ceremony. We were able to build our own selection of songs using Spotify and then simply sent him the link. During the event, he seemed in control of the schedule and announcements and was able to seamlessly work through any delays or changes. We enjoyed his music selection and how he was able to pick the right songs to get people up and out of their seats, and onto the dance floor. Everything else from the UP-lights, monogram, set-up/take-down, etc. was also flawless. Finally, and not to boast, but there were many people that came up to us after the wedding to say that our wedding was the best they had ever been to. I'm not sure how much of that was the open bar, but I would say Cesar should get a majority of that credit. haha Thanks Cesar! read more

Cesar (DJ Escence) definitely helped our wedding be a success! Even before our special day, he was very professional, personable, and helpful. We knew once we first sat down with him, that he cared about making our vision come to life, and we wanted him by our side for our special day. There was no doubt that the quality of his work would be outstanding, and in the end, it sure was. Not only did he do a great job DJing and MCing for our reception, he also provided services for uplighting, gobo monogram, slideshow, and a "dancing on the clouds" effect for our first dance (we were so surprised how awesome that turned out!). Everything flowed smoothly at our reception, and during all the dancing, the floor was always full! He definitely did a good job playing to the crowd, with different generations and genres, and we were very impressed that he fit in the songs that we requested. So many people stayed until the very end and had a great time. We would definitely use him again and absolutely recommend DJ Escence to friends and family! read more

Cesar was amazing to work with from the start. We were recommended to him from a friend and are so grateful for the recommendation. He is very quick to reply and is happy to answer any question you may have. While Cesar can provide you with music suggestions, he also can help you with customized playlists. Our music ranged from middle eastern music, to salsa, to hip hop. Cesar even threw in some crowd pleasers, which had our dance floor going all night. He is also able to mix any music you may need for a special dance :) Cesar went above and beyond and few in a few additional perks for our wedding. We really appreciated it. I would say I am a pretty particular person and I was very pleased with how our wedding turned out. The guests couldn't get off the dance for and neither could myself or by husband - great night! Hire Cesar - you won't be disappointed read more

I don't have enough words to describe how AMAZING Cesar is. Truly some of the best words to describe him as is ethical and awesome. We had previously booked him with a security deposit for our 110 people wedding (ceremony and reception) and COVID happened. First we thought we were only going to do a small ceremony on a different day and last min notice. This meant we would have only needed him for like an hour or so, we were thinking it probably wouldn't be an option because we were reaching out too late. Being the ethical person he is, he said he was available and happy to do it! At the end, we ended up having a 25 people wedding ceremony and reception and I can promise you it would not have been as perfect if we would've had a different DJ. For the ceremony- I sent him the different songs I wanted, they were mostly cover versions of songs, and LITERALLY every single one was EXACTLY the one I wanted. For the reception- the vibe was amazing! His love and effort he puts into his craft and our wedding was like no other. Honestly, it feels like we would've known him for years. He really is outstanding! If you are wondering whether to book him or not, don't think any longer- DO IT! He is worth every penny! Such a cool, respectful and responsible guy. Thank you SOOOOO much Cesar. Our 25 people wedding felt so full of life and happiness and a lot of that is thanks to you!! Forever grateful! read more

If you want your guests on the dance floor, then book them. MC and DJ are wonderful. They kept the guests on the dance floor all night. If you want old and current music, they have it. BOOK THEM ! read more

Book Cesar as your DJ! You won't be disappointed!! My husband and I were looking for a bilingual DJ to please our English speaking and Spanish speaking guests at our wedding and Cesar went above and beyond our expectations. To begin with Cesar was very professional at our first meeting to discuss our wishes, quick to respond to emails and texts. He played all our ceremony music and each song went perfectly. When it came to the reception music, he was able to feel the crowd and play the best songs. He was our MC and helped with the flow of the evening. He created a custom monogram for our dance floor (beautiful). I greatly appreciated the fact that he came to our rehearsal to scope out the grounds and better prepare himself for the day of. Cesar was easy to talk to and work with, I would most definitely recommend him to all of my family and friends. Thank you Cesar! read more

Cesar did an awesome job! He gave us some pointers on our wedding day schedule. Super patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

Our wedding was sooo fun, and it was all thanks to this man. He had the crowd moving all night long. He was super helpful, went above and beyond our expectations, and his play list was fire. We had met with a few other DJ's and we simply weren't feeling them. The pressure was since our families and friends love to dance. We made the best choice with Cesar. People were talking about our wedding for weeks, how fun it was and had quite a bit of requests for the DJ's info. I can't wait for the next big party to hire Cesar again! Thank you so much, our wedding epic! read more

My wife and I used DJ Escence this last spring for our wedding could not have been happier with his performance! We booked him before even meeting with him person - all correspondence were done via emails and phone calls. He was always 100% professional, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. He did such a wonderful job keeping our wedding reception moving within the timeline. He also managed to get every one of our guests dancing on the floor at one point or another and kept majority of them (including my wife and I) dancing until the night was over. DJ Escence was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and he sure was one of the biggest topics of conversation after the wedding. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of an amazing DJ/MC for weddings or any event! Thank you so much, DJ Escence for making our reception such an awesome and memorable evening! read more

We used DJ Escence for our March 2015 wedding. I was so impressed with his professionalism, his great personality, and of course how fun he was at the reception!

DJ Escence is the coolest DJ ever. He DJ and MC'd my wedding anniversary party. We met with him and told him exactly what we wanted and he did just that and more. In my book, hands down, he's one of the best DJs I've ever encountered. He's very professional very versatile and can definitely keep the party going. Honestly I think we will hire him for our company party because he's just that good. Not only did he DJ but he also emceed which was just icing on the cake. Without hesitation I would definitely, definitely, definitely use him again. Thanks singer me and my husband really appreciate you. read more

We hired Cesar for our wedding on 10/31/17 and he was absolutely amazing. He was among the most reasonably priced DJs we found and he went above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend him for weddings without hesitation. He was on top of everything and checked in with us before the wedding to make sure everything was how we wanted it. He was super detailed and did not forget a thing. He kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. We were on the fence about hiring a DJ but I'm so glad we ended up having one and even more glad that we went with Cesar. We are so appreciative of everything he did for us! read more

DJ Escence did our wedding this past October. I can't tell you the amount of compliments we received from our guests. We looked for a DJ who would not only have an inviting and fun presence for people to get on the dance floor but also someone who would be able to MC well. He exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed with his communication, working with our budget, MC/DJ skills, and uplighting. His professionalism was a pleasure to work with. There was one point during the dancing portion when I peeked into the reception to see who wasn't dancing and it literally was just my wedding planners. That speaks for itself! He even edited a couple upbeat songs for my dad and I to dance to for our father daughter song. We are beyond grateful for his service. read more

Cesar came highly recommended. Man he went above and beyond for us and our guests at our wedding reception! From the jump months before he was involved in the planning; always answered his phone and returned all my calls promptly. He really took the pressure off a guy that was about to get hitched. Great communication skills. Very easy to talk to. He played all the songs we requested and at a moments notice during the reception when my wife and I had a request he made it happen. He also Emcee'd the reception and was very flexible with last minute changes. All our guests were dancing,young and old. Our party ended up going until midnight with 5 people left on the dance floor and he still kept it going until the facility turned the lights on. This guy is a class act.
