I was referred to DJ M-EL by a friend. When talking with friends and mentioning I will be using DJ-MEL, a complete other friend mentioned he was the dj at her own wedding and she also said he was amazing, so I got so excited. He was very punctual and I loved it! Showed up on time and prepared himself for our schools event. The music he played was exactly what we asked for and I loved all variety he played! Thank you so much! YOU WERE AWESOME! read more

Dj Mel was amazing! He was very helpful from the beginning of the process to the day of coordination! He made everything run so smoothly at my wedding reception. Everyone loved his music, I highly recommend him for middle eastern / Armenian weddings!! read more

If I could give DJ M-EL a thousand stars I would! What an amazing and professional DJ, the expertise he brings to this profession is beyond impressive. DJ M-EL was extremely helpful, he had a proactive approach to get us ready for our wedding, which is a daunting task. I can confidently say the music part of it was the easiest because of how good DJ M-EL is at his job. He uses an app that is a game changer for time management and traceability, we were able to upload and link our playlists (Apple Music and Spotify) straight to the app. He is SUPER organized and responsive, the one thing we could count on throughout the process was knowing that he would do amazing. He had the dance floor going all night, from 7pm until 2:30am, the guy was a machine! He worked really well with the other vendors and musicians, and we couldn't believe how well he mixed all the music. Armenian, Persian, Arabic, new/old hip-hop and pop, and throwbacks. Super impressive, can't recommend him enough!! Thanks a million to you DJ M-EL, you made our night so special! read more

DJ M-EL is one of the best event DJ's you will ever hire! He has DJ dozens of our events and for many of our family members and the party is always an amazing time! He has the best playlists and works with his clients to create a wonderful experience! I highly recommend hiring him! read more

Dj MEL was amazing He brought the party to life. He listened to what I wanted and definitely added his own twist to it and everyone loved the music. Highly recommend!!! read more

Where do I even start? BEST DJ EVER! DJ M-EL DJed my wedding and also my brother's. From the planning process to the day of the wedding, he was amazing. He is always reachable, there to answer any questions, and really put a stressed bride's mind at ease. He is so helpful and gives great advice. He played the best music, accommodated all of my "must play" and "do not play" requests and made the dance floor the only place that guests wanted to be at the wedding! He really understands the run of show and worked very well with my coordinators to make our special day perfect! I could literally go on and on about him and his services, but I'll just say that you will not be disappointed if you choose DJ M-EL for any event! read more

DJ M-EL - Nobody wanted to get off the dancefloor - DJs Near Me

Mel was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had an Armenian/Lebanese wedding and Mel delivered on infusing both cultures' music into our playlist for the night, while playing our favorite genres too. Very organized, professional, and respected our time. We got so many compliments throughout the night about how Mel kept the party alive. We ended up being 1 hour behind schedule during our wedding but Mel was very flexible and made sure to communicate with us as the night progressed. We had a saxophonist and a zaffeh as well, and Mel worked with both vendors seamlessly. Overall, it was a great experience working with Mel and highly recommend him for all your DJ needs! read more

DJ-Mel made my 40th so special. He was so collaborative and asked us exactly what songs and artists we wanted him to play and never had an attitude about us making requests. I'm a huge music lover and very specific and picky with what I want to hear, and he delivered! 10/10 the best! read more

Where to even begin... Mel is an absolute gem of a human and such a professional, not to mention, he's an extreme talent on the 1's and 2's. We booked DJ Mel for our wedding in October 2024 and tasked him with music reflecting a biracial wedding and different cultures. Mel absolutely understood the assignment and exceeded our expectations. Our guests were on the dance floor the ENTIRE NIGHT and every single one of our guests could not stop talking about the music at our wedding. Thank you DJ Mel for your incredible attitude and making our wedding the best day of our lives! read more

We hired Melcon for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Being Armenian, and my husband Lebanese, we needed a DJ that was comfortable with melding music from both cultures smoothly. Plus we had a diverse group of guests from all cultures and backgrounds. And Melcon was that guy. There are DJs out there that seem to be the "standard" for Armenian/Middle Eastern weddings but I've never heard so many people compliment a DJ as much as they did at our wedding. We chose him because his personality meshed so well with ours. He was extremely patient and thorough with us while we chose our songs and timelines. He went over all the details multiple times and provided his professional advice at all the right times. Melcon is on top of his stuff and extremely communicative, checking in multiple times throughout the planning process. He mixed the right amount of Armenian, Arabic and English music to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. read more

I was fortunate to find DJ Mel for my Armenian wedding which just recently took place in Orange County. He is very professional, conscientious, knows what he's doing, and knows just how to get people on the dancefloor. Also, he will work with you and your significant other to help put on a very memorable event at a very fair rate. He has an expansive catalogue ranging from ethnic music to country so whatever the occasion, whatever type of event, he will gladly accomodate. Go with Mel, he's a great guy, you won't regret it. Thanks again, Melcon! read more

I would give Mel a thousand stars if I could!!!! He was absolutely amazing since day 1. He responds right away, his prices are reasonable and he is so accommodating and respectful. We were looking for a DJ to play both arabic and english music and his transitions between them were so smooth and unnoticeable. He got everyone on the dance floor hyped. We had trouble with changing the locations of our event and he was so understanding. He replied to my texts and emails right away and answered all my questions. He took requests on the spot and we even asked for special dances and he made sure it all went smoothly. I would hire him at all my events and recommend him to anyone looking to have an incredible night for their event. read more

DJ Mel is absolutely fantastic! We were late to book and a bit flustered but Mel helped us find our way and made our wedding so incredibly special. Follows directions and has great advice. Would book Mel for every party we have and would definitely recommend his services. Thank you, Mel! read more

We were looking for a DJ that had experience catering to a mixed crowd (Armenian/Russian/American) and all I can is Mel is the absolute best!!! He is extremely organized, responsive and takes the time to listen to what you need/want. He uses an app to help through the planning process which is easy to navigate and you can customize it however you want with timeline, vendors, music, bridal party, etc. The app also allows you to upload links which was a lifesaver for all the Russian songs my mom sent me. We weren't too particular on him playing specific songs and asked him to do whatever he needed to keep people on the dance floor and did exactly that! I don't know how he transitioned the music so well but nobody left the dance floor. We are still getting phones about how it was the best wedding and they have never danced so much! Thank you Dj Mel for helping make our wedding perfect! read more

DJ M-EL - DJs Near Me

Wow! I can't say enough good things about Mel. Booking a DJ was something that my husband and I both struggled with as we needed to have someone who could mix Persian + American music. I LOVE to dance and so does my husbands family so we needed someone who could keep the party going. Mel did just that! We booked him for the entire day, he did our ceremony, cocktail and reception. We had 4 meetings with Mel leading up to the day. He was incredibly detailed and organized. He asked a lot of questions to ensure we were happy and getting what we wanted on the day! I really loved collaborating with him and how communicative he was. On the day of the wedding, he crushed it. Everyone was on the dance floor ALL night long. He mixed our cultures together flawlessly and had the energy up all night. I was SO pleased with his services and can't recommend him enough. read more

**This is a very honest review to give newly engaged couples an idea of the entire experience from A-Z** DJ M-EL fell short of our expectations on our wedding day. I'm mainly writing this because when I vocalized our disappointment via phone call, not once did he apologize. I've worked in the customer service industry for over a decade and I know good customer service when I see it. Prior to the wedding, we had a consultation with him, put down a deposit, which led to 3 more meetings. Each meeting we thoroughly went over the wedding timeline, and he instructed us to download an app called Vibo which had a a good amount of paperwork to fill out, as well as listing songs for "Open Dancing" and "Must Plays" and "Do Not Plays". Mind you, each of these meetings were approx 45 min in length and were extremely thorough. I felt so comfortable going into the wedding thinking that every song I wanted to hear would play. We agreed that he would play 30% disco, 30% Armenian music, and 30% early 2000s hip hop for the younger crowd. I carefully curated the playlist because music means a lot to me. The two genres I told him to steer away from were Reggaeton and Country. The day of the wedding comes and I hear these (to name a few) that started off the party: Sway by Michael Buble Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez Hotel Room Service by Pitbull Bamboleo - Gipsy Kings After setting the tone of the dance floor with these songs, people were still dancing but I could tell my family wasn't feeling it. I was entertaining my guests I didn't have time to confront him and I also did not want to ruin the mood of my wedding with anger. Then after an hour into party time, ONLY when my coordinator told him that I was unhappy with the music, he managed to sprinkle in what I asked for (but by the time he did that it was like whiplash for the crowd and of COURSE it wouldn't sound good or transition well if it doesn't blend with all the Hispanic stuff he was playing). Yes he technically didn't play reggaeton but he was still in the neighborhood of it. I was in shock. I felt like all the time we met with him was wasted. Every married couple will understand the frustration I'm going through because it takes an entire year of planning, money, time, and care to put together a once in a lifetime event. And let's say hypothetically if he played what we wanted and the night still ended early, at least he would have done what we paid him to do. He straight up didn't do the job he was asked to do. When we were on the phone, he said he would go over his playlist to see how many "must plays" he played. My understanding is that he would try to play our entire playlist of 52 dancing songs that we provided, hit the "must plays" no matter what, and THEN play other content once he ran out. Instead he just did whatever he wanted from the get-go. It's like going to McDonalds and ordering a cheeseburger, fries and a shake and in turn getting chicken nuggets, fries and a coke. Yes there were still "fries" in there but it overall wasn't what was ordered. On top of all this, he took a break (which he is entitled to) at approx 11:10pm BUT he didn't announce the break, and then didn't play any real songs to fill the gap, so our guests thought the party was over. He played some really faint instrumental music which felt like it was ushering the guests out. I had my venue til 1am and I was so sad that my wedding ended early. He didn't announce that people could take flowers home so the flowers were wasted, or a last song of the night, last call at the bar and he didn't mention the dessert table either. He just quietly left without even saying goodbye to us. When I brought all of these issues to his attention, he pointed the blame on everything but himself. He suggested that the timeline/organization of our event caused the dance floor to be dry, that if he played what I wanted that people wouldn't dance to it. He said that the line at the bar was too long. He said he played "soft jazz" when he took his break and people leaving was out of his control. It was every single excuse and not taking any accountability that he failed to follow what he was paid to do. I'm honestly just appalled by the way this whole situation was handled. The sad part is, if he had just apologized to me, I probably wouldn't have left this review. If I had read a review like this while researching him I would have looked elsewhere, so I hope this is helpful for other couples moving forward. read more

DJ M-EL was one of the best things about our wedding. We had a Persian-American wedding and balancing the different kinds of music was very worrying, but DJ M-EL made it a breeze. We used an app to add types of music that we wanted and what we didn't and he was able to pick up the vibe we wanted perfectly. We had a lot of meetings which was super helpful to keep us on track and lower our anxiety as the day approached. He provided a helpful timeline/questionnaire where we could order our timeline and add music for all the different parts. During the day of the event, the dance floor was never empty, all the way to the end of the night. He knew how to keep the party going and how to engage the different kinds of audiences. Overall, he is one of the best DJs for any event and of all different ethnicities. 10/10 would book again for any future events. read more

The best DJ!!! Absolutely killed it at my grad party and knew exactly how to vibe with the crowd and get everyone dancing. The music was fantastic and made it an amazing night. read more

DJ M-EL - Me and DJ M-EL while I give a speech - DJs Near Me

There aren't enough words to describe how happy my husband, wedding guests, and I were with Dj M-El and Arak! We recently had a wedding in my brother's backyard and had such a great time. TL;DR: Book DJ M-El for your event! The planning process was so simple and easy to do, thanks to Melcon's regular check-ins and the app he uses to facilitate the planning. He was extremely considerate when it came to our needs and wants and went above and beyond to make sure the music was exactly what we wanted to for the wedding! You can give him as much or as little guidance as you want and trust him to take it from there. His breadth of knowledge and understanding of a diverse range of music is beyond impressive. On the day of the wedding, Melcon and Arak showed up with plenty of time to get their setup ready. We had to ask them to set up their equipment in one place then move it after the ceremony and they were extremely accomodating and made sure we didn't miss a beat during that time. We also had a musician and a performance during the wedding and Melcon worked directly with both to make sure everyone had what they needed! Arak's MCing was hilarious and everyone was laughing along with him. Melcon's music choices were excellent all night and he did a GREAT job reading the 'room' and adjusting what he was playing to accommodate our group. He seamlessly mixed Armenian, Arabic, Latin, Top40, and more styles throughout the night! Several people reached out to tell me that the music was top notch and they had a great time dancing. Mission accomplished :) read more

DJ M-El was by far one of the most professional and kindest people I have ever worked with My husband and I could not be more grateful for how supportive, involved and in tune he was with us throughout the entire wedding planning process. He checked in, curated the playlists how we wanted, felt out our vibe and executed accordingly. He went far beyond what we expected, our guests were so happy, and he kept the dancing going all night. He worked with my coordinators and caterers to execute itinerary, he worked on the timeline with us, he was there every step of the way. Compliments were pouring in constantly over him and several referrals as well. . Also, he worked with us with two reschedules we experienced due to Covid and location change. And he has an awesome app that allows uploading playlists and music organization very convenient. We would not hire any other person to dj our future events because he was so cautious and caring of the most important day of our lives read more

DJ M-EL was incredible from day 1! He helped us plan the entire night and even provided an app where we could pick out the songs we wanted and from there he curated the entire playlist. The music was amazing, his energy and just his overall support of planning our wedding. I appreciated the check-in calls and just making sure we were ready for the day. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to the next event with you! read more

DJ M-EL was a joy to work with, from booking to the day of the wedding. He had a user friendly app that allowed us to add our must plays, do not plays, first dance songs, etc. He also communicated with us several times leading up to the big day and was flexible with the time difference (we live on the East Coast but got married in LA). The day of was better than we could have imagined! People were filling the dance floor earlier than expected, and he was flexible working with our day-of coordinator to update the order of things based on people wanting to keep dancing. My husband is from India, so one request was a few of his favorite Bollywood numbers. I wasn't sure how it would "flow" with our mainly non-Indian crowd, but DJ M-EL worked the songs in seamlessly! At one point, my husband was leading the guests in an impromptu choreography session, and DJ M-EL gladly rewound the song at his request to go through the moves again. Great music and dancing was top of our list for our reception, so we thank DJ M-EL for making this part of our fairytale wedding come true! read more

My husband and I got married on 4/2/22 at LA Banquets- The Landmark venue and let us tell you: DJ MEL is absolutely the best!!!! My Fiancé and I shopped around quite a bit before our wedding to find a DJ that would be a good fit for us. We found DJ MEL and can honestly say choosing to work with him was one of the best decisions we made! Since day 1, DJ Mel was promptly responsive, punctual, very knowledgeable, kind and organized! Trust us he is a busy man but always managed to give us the time and attention we needed. For all of you Type A couples, DJ Mel uses an app that you can download on your phone to organize the timeline for the day and the song choices. Trust us, this is a savior! A great way to put all of your thoughts and ideas down in a tangible way that can be shared with others and make sure the day runs seamlessly. Before the big day, DJ MEL coordinated with our MC, our ceremony violinist and the venue to make sure everything was ready to go. The day of the wedding was absolute perfection! Sure, we all know there is no "perfect" wedding and no super strict timeline that can be followed, but we assure you that DJ MEL was on top of it. The music selection was exactly what we wanted. The transitions between songs were smooth and seamless. He was able to go with the feel of the night and play a good mix of music accordingly. Both sides of the families were up and dancing well into the night. We HIGHLY recommend DJ Mel for your next event. We are positive we will be using DJ Mel at our future events! Thanks DJ Mel!! read more

We are so happy we booked DJ M-EL for our big fat Armenian-Indian wedding! Mel truly went above and beyond. He was so kind, organized, and professional throughout the year-long planning process. We went through so many unexpected last-minute changes, but Mel handled every single one so kindly and professionally. When our wedding day finally came, we knew we could completely let go and trust Mel to take over. We had two ceremonies in one day and Mel worked with our officiants, musicians, and wedding coordinators to make sure that everything went smoothly. For our reception, we requested Armenian, Arabic, Hindi, Telugu, Spanish, and English songs and he blended them effortlessly. Our guests loved him - he knows how to read the room, get guests to the dance floor, and keep them dancing! We can't recommend DJ M-EL enough! read more

I am so happy we found DJ M-EL! After having to postpone & re-plan our wedding due to COVID-19, Mel was there each step of the way to help. His communication was great throughout the entire process. He really got to know us and find out our taste in music. He brought so many genres together in a way that kept everyone interested & dancing. Our wedding was the most magical day and it wouldn't have been possible without Mel. Looking forward to using him at our next event! read more

Played all the right songs and brought the party to life. Very professional. Great DJ

We booked DJ M-EL for our Sept 2020 wedding in Feb/March of 2020, right as the world started changing. We had to reschedule our first planned date and then our second. I feel like he's been "with" us the entire time, even as our last reschedule date didn't work out for him. Mel is super organized, caring, and just an awesome guy. He's been there for us the entire time, as like the rest of us, he's been navigating his own life and the craziness of the last year. He's got fillable forms and a planning timeline so your event goes on perfectly. He's checked in with us every couple months to see how we're doing, how planning is going, if we have any questions, etc. He's listened to me talk about wanting some obscure music but also wanting some Armenian dance music; basically, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to music, but I was confident that he would make it awesome. Also, we've likely spent more time emailing and talking to him over the last 13 months than our own wedding coordinator - which could say something about her, but I think more about him. He's just awesome. His support has really meant a lot to us and we're quite sad that our schedules haven't worked out. More importantly: this guy is worth booking if he has your date available. Like now, so get on it! I would book with him or recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone. read more

Mel is extraordinary. As a DJ, as someone who understands events, and as a professional. Everyone from my guests to the owner of the venue were talking about how captivated everyone was by the music and how full the dance floor was. Mel made it a point to get to know us and put together a play list that everyone would like. I highly recommend him for any event! read more

Absolutely amazing! Mel is very professional and curated an amazing list of music for my birthday and our entire party had a wonderful time. Thank you Mel! He was so good at transitioning the music and is extremely friendly. read more

Went to a wedding last Friday 12/3/2021 where the bride and groom are two different nationalities. Melcon did an absolutely AMAZING job of mixing music types and international music along with the current top English dance hits to keep both sides dancing, happy and the dance floor always full. I really was impressed at how well he mixed beats, songs, genres and etc between 3 different languages and even mixed in other international music and hits as well. If you are looking to keep your dance floor full at a wedding, birthday or any other event - definitely call Melcon! read more

DJ Mel was an incredible DJ for my wedding last February. Yes, I can't believe it took me so long to write this review! Mel was so easy to work with, receptive and kind. He also helped us integrate Persian music throughout our reception and it was so much fun! He was responsive and always answered my questions promptly. I don't think the dance floor was empty all night! We received so many compliments about the music and we are so so happy that we hired DJ Mel! I will absolutely recommend him to anyone and definitely use him again for any future events! read more

DJ Mel was incredible when he played the night before our wedding. We had a party on a boat and he handled all the logistics and the guests LOVED his music. Many of our guests have asked for his contact information since then. He knows how to read the crowd and he delivers. I recommend him to anyone looking for a good time! read more

I would HIGHLY recommend DJ M-EL for anyone looking for a refreshing take on a wedding DJ. As a wedding planner with almost a decade of experience, I have worked with hundreds of DJ's in the wedding industry and although there are lots of great DJ's in the industry, DJ M-EL's attention to detail and his passion for music are unparalleled. I have always been very impressed with his professionalism, prompt responses, and his attention to detail when communicating with my team and clients. He is extremely talented and in a league of his own, from his music selection, to the way he mixes songs, he perfectly blends songs and genres to keep the party all night long!! He has an innate talent to cater to his audience and keep the energy level high throughout the entire event. With DJ M-EL, the dance floor is guaranteed to be packed all night and he will leave your guest wanting more. DJ M-EL has a natural talent and knows what to play, and more importantly, when to play it for the best effect. Additionally, he has an MC that is just as amazing as he is and together make the perfect dynamic duo. I would recommend DJ M-EL to absolutely anyone, without hesitation! I'm sure the only request you will have after hiring him is that you wished the night could have gone on longer because you will not want the night to end! Look no further and book DJ M-EL! read more

My husband and I booked DJ Mel for our wedding and the first thing he helped us with right off the bat was to find our wedding planner who was just as incredible. His level of kindness and wanting to help with just about anything and everything up until the day of the wedding was not what you would normally find in any type of vendor. He fully understood and sympathized the wedding planning process during covid. being that were middle eastern we needed a dj that knew what he was doing when playing Arabic music, we had a number of calls and facetime meetings with dj Mel which made us feel more comfortable in knowing he was going to do a great job playing the type of music we wanted. He now has an app that makes it very easy to upload all the songs you want played for your event. We ended up getting very positive feedback from our guests! read more

DJ Mel killed it at our wedding!!! He was super professional and accommodating of me and my bride through the entire experience. He allowed us to personalize our wedding songs through the use of his awesome app. He helped us with the organizing of the wedding program and what songs to play when. He even helped by setting up karaoke lyrics on his iPad so I could serenade my wife at the end of the night :D Highly recommend booking DJ Mel for any type of event!!! 5 STARS!!!! read more

DJ M-EL was UNREAL! Once we booked a date, he immediately set up a call with us and we got access to his APP to help customize our event and share our music taste with him. He was an unbelievable DJ getting everyone at our wedding on the dance floor. Our music was a wide range on genres and he perfectly blended the music and kept the dance floor energy up! Everyone at the wedding complimented us on having an incredible DJ, so his work did not go unnoticed! We will be recommending him to all of our friends. read more

Had the pleasure of working with Dj M-El at a wedding that I was assisting / coordinating. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, on time and ensured that everyone had a fun night. His music choices and transitions are unreal. Everyone at the wedding was dancing. He picked songs specifically to the likes of the couple and their request. This was a wedding where I wished I attended as a guest instead of work, he made it that fun! Would and already have recommended to friends / family! read more

DJ M-EL was exactly what our wedding needed! We found him on Yelp and the reviews were not wrong. We first had him DJ the bridal shower; the event received rave reviews and become the hot topic of conversation for weeks. We were thoroughly impressed with his involvement throughout the entire coordination process and how he handled the event and himself during the shower. Stand-up guy who takes his work seriously and we appreciated having someone who genuinely enjoyed what he did AND didn't shy away from the "work" that was involved beforehand. We then had our wedding at Brandview in Glendale several weeks later and Mel rocked the house! Not only was he stellar at managing the entire project from beginning to end (even before the bridal shower), but he also provided invaluable advice to both my wife and I regarding other wedding-related necessities (photography, venue information, etc). He was by far the most professional, most tolerant, most understanding, and most thorough vendor we worked with! Everyone will agree that the DJ runs the show essentially and dictates how successful the party will be; DJ M-EL made our wedding the talk of all our friends and family long after the night was done, played tracks we didn't even think of, and had an amazing flow the entire night. Everything went even better than we expected, largely due to Mel's commitment to his craft, his keen input regarding all-things-wedding, and his support while we frantically ran around putting all of the big-day pieces together. Thank you again for making our special day EVEN MORE special, memorable, and enjoyable...we look forward to using your services again in the future and will continue to refer you to anyone and everyone! read more
