I knew I was making the right choice!! I literally would not book my Birthday Celebration where a live outdoor DJ was not allowed. . . because I needed DJ Kara and she did not disappoint. I wanted to book DJ Kara 2 years ago for my daughter's sweet 16, but COVID happened. I kept her in mind and 3 years later we got her! Booked 7 months in advance so she couldn't get away. Thank you so much for keeping the party going. My guests and I danced until our feet hurt. DJ Kara is lively, energetic and a perfect choice for our rooftop celebration. The night was unforgettable and music was absolutely perfect! read more

DJ Kara - DI Kara all ready to start the evening!! - DJs Near Me

Your DJ Search Just Ended with DJ Kara!! In short, save yourself time and energy and hire this woman! Kara is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She's approachable, professional, punctual, flexible, and just incredibly easy to work with. My wife and I threw her a wild melting pot of unconventional music to play at our wedding ceremony and reception ranging from indie rock and dream pop to future house and straight up filthy bass music. Despite never receiving such requests, she accepted the job and absolutely NAILED IT. Her mixing is amazing and she effortlessly incorporated our guests requests on the fly without any jarring shifts in her set. This is how you really know she's a GREAT DJ. We had guest after guest coming up to my wife and I complimenting her music arrangements and song choices. Our ceremony music was beautiful, our dinner dreamy, and the reception/party was insane. (in the best way possible) People danced to the very last song. She also did an awesome job orchestrating our grand entrance, first dance, parent dance, cake cutting etc. No matter the music, wedding, or any other event, we're confident that DJ Kara will meet and exceed your expectations. Thank you Kara for your services! We love music and believe music really sets the tone (pun intended) to any occasion and you made our wedding day/night unforgettable for our entire party! read more

DJ KARA IS THE ULTIMATE! My wife and I met her a few months prior to our March wedding of 2019, and we HAD TO HAVE HER DJ! She seriously made the night better than we could have even expected. Her beats are so on point and she's so damn comfortable behind her set. I can not recommend Kara enough. Seriously. 10/10. You're the best Kara... thank you again for the best day/ night ever! read more

My DREAM DJ!! Kara is professional, personable and bright. She is excellent at keeping the lines of communication open and has all the confidence without the ego! I thought (in LA) this is too good to be true! I found Kara simply by searching #DJLA on Instagram because that's my preferred social platform and as soon as I saw her profile, I immediately got a good first impression. Then I checked out her website and got even more excited. When I messaged her, she got back to me within a couple of hours and offered to set up a phone call- which was music to my ears (pun intended, lol) We had a thorough discussion about my expectations for the event with the kind of ambiance I was looking for and Kara was helpful to suggest examples of music just to make sure we were both on the same page. On the day of the event, she arrived early and set up without a hitch. My event was a tremendous success and in huge part was thanks to Kara. Music is key. Don't skimp on the music. Hire Kara. You will love her! read more

Kara is awesome. She DJ'ed our wedding last September, and from start to finish it was so easy and fun to work with her. We found and booked her through VOX DJs, although it looks like you can book her directly (which is probably better for her). My husband and I are pretty particular about music, and Kara completely understood what we were looking for. Her presentation is hip but low-key and really fit with our own style. Before the wedding, we gave her an example playlist, named some of our favorite songs as well as some for the "banned" list, and also provided her with a list of song requests from our guests (some awesome, some questionable). She took all of the information we gave her and came up with the perfect tunes to play at the right times, from dinner to dancing. I highly recommend Kara for any event! read more

My husband and I knew that we wanted Kara to be our wedding DJ from the moment we started wedding planning. I had been at work events where Kara DJ'ed and she always got the party started, read the room to understand what the vibe should be, and played the best music. And she did just that for our wedding. From the chill cocktail music to the all-out dance party, Kara knew exactly what to play to make everyone happy. And she was so great to work with throughout the entire planning process. She played every song we asked her to and then incorporated so many others that were just perfect. Plus, Kara is a great MC for the full event, too. If you're looking for a kickass DJ, Kara should be your #1 choice! read more

This review is long overdue (our wedding was in April) but DJ Kara is AMAZING! We are SO glad we hired her to DJ our wedding!! We vetted quite a few DJs in our planning process, but knew after our intro phone call with DJ Kara that she would be perfect for the job. She is super friendly, chill, approachable, and listened to everything that we wanted (and didn't want) for our reception. We had an in-person meeting with her where we brought her a list of songs that we definitely wanted to be played, as well as the songs that are on our "no" list. My husband and I both LOVE music and have specific tastes, and had a vision for the vibe that we wanted for the night. Everything was executed perfectly - the indie/surf rock/90's rock playlist during dinner, and then a rager of a reception. We wanted the dance floor to be full the whole night - and it was! People kept coming up to me saying how awesome the DJ was, and even days after the wedding I had friends let me know that DJ Kara's set at my wedding was the best DJ they've ever experienced at any wedding. Also, for my father-daughter dance, we wanted to do a mashup of 3 songs. DJ Kara was able to create this mashup for us and our dance was epic. 10/10 recommend!! read more

This dope DJ was spinning at a Zoom panel I was watching and I could not help but move and groove!! Her energy was amazing and contagious. I cannot wait to see her in person! She is so dope! read more

I was looking for a DJ for a large black tie event for over 350 guests. I came across DJ Kara, met with her and instantly loved her personality and positive aura. Last night, she did an amazing job! Everyone was dancing every time she put music on, I felt like she was really feeling the crowd out and altered the music to keep the night going. I was extremely happy with her and everyone raved about her the entire night! Highly recommend! read more

We needed a DJ for a large, 600+ person event for the Writers Guild of America's annual Holiday party, as well as around 200 guests for another event a few months later. Both events were in Hollywood. The 600+ event crowd ranged in age from 20's to 60's due to the variety of professional film and television writers in the industry. Kara managed to satisfy the wide range of music tastes in the room - moving from throwbacks to christmas, current popular favorites and much loved classics. It was fun to watch a dance floor filled with such a variety of people - enjoying themselves and feeling appreciated for all of their hard writing work. A few months later, the 200 person event, also in Hollywood, drew writers mainly in their 20's and 30's and Kara's set clearly reflected that crowd adjustment. Kara arrived early, set up much in advance of the event. She kept the crowd moving and in great spirits, and several people walked right up to her DJ stand and asked for her contact info. If I remember right, she did one of the attendees weddings sometime after that party. There is no other DJ I'd go with for all of our events. She is our go-to. read more

Hands down so happy we hired her to DJ our wedding! When we got our long list of DJ's from our Disney Wedding Coordinator and felt a little overwhelmed. The we found DJ Kara and watched some of her YouTube videos Doing and we knew she was our top choice. After taking and meeting with her we knew we had to have her for our wedding! She was so easy to talked to and super helpful in figuring out our music for the day. For example we couldn't decided between two songs for our last dance, she told "why not play both" so we did! She took out so much of the stress in the planning and gave us so much ease. She's super laidback and and so amazing to work with. For our wedding we had two groups of people we had to try to entertain. One half that were hardcore dancers and the other half who were the type of people who liked to sit and enjoy listening to the music. DJ Kara was able to do it all! Our dance party guest never left the floor and had so much fun. We had so many positive comments from our "sit and listen to the music" guests saying how much they loved that the DJ played music that was just enjoyable to sit and listen to. And that it was the first time they really enjoyed the dance and music part of a wedding reception. DJ Kara really did a great job at putting together such a fun and unique playlist that everyone loved and the vibe of the wedding was just what we wanted thanks to her. read more

DJ Kara is absolutely fantastic! She DJ'd our wedding 2 years ago and she nailed it. She read the room and kept everyone happy and dancing. Exactly how we wanted it. I don't think I left the dance floor all night. My wedding planner tried to get me to cut the cake and I didn't want to stop dancing. Haha. That's what I call a success. Thanks Kara. You made our wedding amazing. read more

Amazing, easy to work with, and totally in tune with what the group was feeling. We had a diverse group but Kara managed to play something that was a hit for all! read more

Kara DJ'd my wedding a few weeks ago and she was absolutely phenomenal. Since before we even got engaged, my wife and I talked about how the dancing would be the most important and enjoyable part of our wedding. From the moment we started interacting with Kara, we were completely at ease and knew everything would be perfect. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, engaged, encouraging, and easy going. She played everything we wanted to hear and completely understood the vibe of the entire night. She also Emceed for us an did a fantastic job. We could not have asked for more. I could not recommend Kara any higher. She covered the music for our ceremony, moved her equipment (which worked perfectly and sounded great) into the venue in the blink of an eye and had the cocktail music going within minutes. She even gave our officiant a mini pep talk before the ceremony when he said he was a bit nervous speaking in front of everyone! In the weeks since, people are still mentioning to us how great she was and several of our friends have told us that they will be calling her when they start planning - and they should! Our dance floor was packed for four straight hours all because of her. I think the biggest compliment that I can give DJ Kara is that on our wedding day, amidst all the potentially stressful moments, my wife and I never once had to worry about her, even for a second. She handled her business like a complete professional, she understood our vibe and nailed it perfectly. She played a huge role in making it the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Kara. read more

I was looking for a DJ for an event at my art gallery, and was happy to find Kara within just two weeks of my event. She was professional and a breeze to work with. She was on time to set up for my event and she brought her own equipment (I needed a PA and mic). Even though this was her first time DJ-ing an art event, she did a great job and kept the good vibes going all night. I would definitely hire her again for future events! read more

DJ Kara is AMAZING! EVEN ON ZOOM! I had a large convention event planned, but due to COVID-19 had to move it to a virtual zoom "happy hour." With very little notice I reached out to Kara to see if she would be able to join and provide music, she did MUCH MORE than that. Keeping people dancing and engaged on a virtual happy hour was a big concern for me, but Kara pumped up the crowed at every turn the entire time. People are still raving about how amazing the music was, and how much fun she added to the event. I couldn't have asked for a better fun-filled night and it's all thanks to Kara! 10/10 would recommend every time! Thanks soo much!!!! read more

I wish that I could give her 10 stars because she is that amazing. I've had the opportunity to meet Kara and listen to her sets a couple of times since she DJ's at my work sometimes and I completely fell in love. I've never seen a DJ who is so involved with guests and hosts and who gets so into the music! She's super attentive to your needs and is very focused and professional. I booked her for my wedding this past week and words cannot express how smooth the reception went all because of her. She is not only a DJ but she's also an MC and kept the time flow and schedule running smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect reception! I had so many guests come up to me to say that our playlist was the best playlist they have ever heard at any wedding or event. She completely out did herself and exceeded all expectations!! Even if everything else around me for the wedding planning was not going as planned, I had total confidence in Kara and didn't even worry at all about the music or the reception, I knew it was going to turn out great! She sits down with you before the event just to go over the entire outline and to ask if you have any questions and we even sent her a list of requested songs and she managed to play them all!! Hands down I would 100% recommend Kara for any event, wedding or get together at your house. She is a powerhouse female and is so sweet and is always there when you need her. Definitely a gem! read more

Kara DJed our wedding and was so amazing to work with. She made the whole planning process so easy and the music was just perfect the entire night. My husband and I both loved working with her and would highly recommend her for any event! read more

We used DJ Kara for our 5k charity run/after-party. Everything from her presence to her tunes was amazing. She's friendly with an edgy vibe and certainly had everyone's attention on the mic. From the very start, I caught myself bouncing around to the music as we were setting up (6 am). Throughout the event, we had a bunch of people comment on how great she was and asking where we found her. She's got an ear for good music and really knows how to mix songs people can sing and dance to without being mainstream. In my opinion, she was the cherry on top of the event and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Simply put, DJ KARA IS AMAZING. And here's why... I needed a DJ *very* last minute for a charity event and was so grateful I called this godsend on a whim Google search. Despite my flailing about, she was gracious, kind, and more than willing to help me with this last minute request. The event was an end-of-the-month dance party/fundraiser for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and Break the Silence - to honor the strength, courage, love, and joy of survivors of sexual assault while also bringing awareness and raising funds for a local women's center. So given the nature of the event, she was perfect. She's professional but also very fun and sweet and was willing to play the type of music we were looking for (a lot of Madonna, Prince, Whitney, David Bowie...). The music was on point! EVERYONE was coming up to me remarking on how great the music was. Not a single bad song was played. I can't express enough how grateful I am that she was able to DJ. The event was a total success and I will be looking only to her for future events - from fundraisers to private parties. read more

DJ Kara is incredible! So easy to work with, she is so open to your suggestions however, knows exactly how to apply them in a way where she implements her creativity and it just works! DJ Kara is so in-sync with the crowd, knows exactly what they need. Her energy is lively, positive and upbeat, definitely radiates throughout the venue. She can work a wedding crowd, the hottest clubs in LA, corporate events. She is knowledgeable and her approach is trusting. My favorite DJ and quite honestly will be yours too! read more

DJ Kara was THE NUMBER ONE detail commented on by EVERYONE at my daughter and her husband's outdoor wedding reception at the Long Beach Museum of Art (on the bluff) in November. Two-thirds of the 150 guests had flown in from the East coast and the Midwest and no matter the age - college student, 20 something, professional or retiree - they ALL raved about the DJ. The comments in an email to me the day after the wedding made by our family friend and Fine Art Black and White photographer are typical: "Did you ever SCORE on the DJ! I hope you and R&A are going to give her glowing reports on her referral sites, whatever they may be. She needs to be as busy as she wants to be, and needs whatever extra exposure you can give her. Didn't you tell me she was kind of last-second?" Yes, DJ Kara was a "last-second" find, referred to me by someone on the museum's list of DJ's who was already booked - this was 8 months before the wedding and I was heading into panic mode - I thought we still had time! I knew I hit pay dirt within seconds of my first phone call to Kara. I hadn't realized until I heard her soft musical voice how important the DJ's voice is (I had talked to quite a few guys by this point). We scheduled a call for her with Rachel & Andrew and within a minute, they too were giving the thumbs up. She met their every expectation and then some - she keeps the agenda on track, knows how to get things moving, but most important, understands that she is the facilitator, not the central personality, of the event ... that it's all about the bride and groom who are all about wanting to give their guests the best time ever. The enchanted evening became the fairy tale wedding that had not dared be imagined. The waves crashed, the water sparkled, dusk settled and November's Beaver Moon rose over the dance floor ... and the dancers ... and DJ Kara spinning the magic. How did we get so lucky!! This MOB pats herself on the back for "finding" her!!! read more

Kara did an amazing job for a middle school dance I was in charge of. She worked with us and our needs to make it an amazing night for our students. She was very professional through e-mail and arrived on time with everything ready to go. The most impressive thing to me was how well she interacted with the students and kept everyone in great spirits. Highly recommended for any type of party or get together than needs a DJ. read more

We hired Kara to spin a live group fitness class at our gym, Crunch Fitness (West Hollywood, CA) and she showed up on time, excited and ready to get the party started. She came with all her own equipment and set it up in minimal time and without stress. She DJed the entire class and tailored the music selections to exactly what we wanted and when we asked it to be played... She made the entire experience so wonderful, professional and high energy! Speaking of energy, DJ Kara has the best vibes, a great look and impeccable taste in music. She was so great that we are asking her to come back once a month. Kara is highly recommended and ultra professional! read more

I've seen DJ Kara in action several times. She is extremely professional and a great DJ. She is multi-faceted in the DJ industry and is capable of handling all types of dance floors. If you are looking for someone who is confident, driven, knowledgeable of music, an excellent crowd reader, and just a all around great DJ, choose DJ Kara! read more

Need an AMAZING DJ? Look no further than Kara! After knowing Kara from other events where she has DJ'ed, my fiance and I knew that we wanted to work with her for our wedding. There was NO QUESTION about it. And from our first meet-n-greet all the way through to our final song, Kara was a pleasure to work with. She is the perfect mix of chill/friendly and professional. She is super organized and our prep meetings leading up to the big day reinforced that. Kara will take as much input as you want to give for music, but will also bring her own recommendations and expertise to make sure you get the vibe you want. On the day, she played the best music from the moment guests arrived and were waiting for the ceremony to start, through dinner, and for dancing. She knew the perfect songs for each portion of the night. And the dance floor was an all-out celebration, complete with plenty of sing alongs for the crowd. We can't thank her enough for all the time she put into our wedding and making sure the soundtrack to our big day was exactly what we wanted. THANK YOU, Kara! read more

Kara Dj-ed our company holiday party in Santa Monica- She was amazing. We spoke on the phone a week of 2 before the event to get a clear idea of what type of music/ vibe she needed to create for this event, she came to the house early to set up & she knew just how to ease my team into a good time, pumping up the music as the night went on and drinks started to hit. She is quick in set up/break down, she has a great personality and its clear she is focused on her business staying on top of her responsibilities while simultaneously keeping the party hyped, interested, light and fun! She will defiantly be requested by my company again! read more

Kara Dj'd our son's Bar Mitzvah and she was the perfect choice. She was extremely professional and made the event what it was. She really knows and understands her role, and worked with us every step of the way to move the party along, while making everyone happy to dance and celebrate. We could not recommend her any higher. read more

Kara is an amazing DJ!! From the moment I booked her she was professional, on time, really listened to what I wanted and assessed the crowd very well. I booked her for my birthday party and I had a mix of family and friends. At the end of the night everyone complimented me on her. It's a tough job to get 60 somethings on the floor with 20 somethings but she did it well. I would 100% recommend her if you are wanting a great DJ! Thank you Kara again for making my party exceptional read more

Kara is an awesome DJ! She is on time, professional, her equipment is state of the art. She listened to what our event required and quickly assessed the crowd and picked the perfect music for our event. People were on the dance floor right away and had a wonderful. I would recommend her DJ talents for any event! read more

DJ Kara is awesome! We chose Kara to be our wedding DJ based on the mixes that she has posted on her Mixcloud account (https://www.mixcloud.com/dj_kara/). She met with us once on the phone and twice in person before the actual wedding date. Throughout the process, Kara was easily accessible and quick to respond via email. We had a very specific genre of music in mind for our wedding, and Kara was very accommodating. Her DJ skills are versatile, and I'm confident that she could play any genre that is requested of her. A lot of the songs we wanted her to play, she didn't have off the bat. However, we put together a Spotify playlist and Kara found and purchased all the songs she didn't already have. Just goes to show how much effort she put into the gig. I think most wedding DJs wouldn't take the time to track down all the songs that Kara did. Her vibe and energy on our wedding day really added to the mood of the night. I would definitely recommend Kara for your next, event, party, wedding, or anything you might need a DJ for!!! read more
