More Than Just a DJ -- A True Professional Words can't even begin to describe how amazing DJ Maniakal was for my wife and me throughout our wedding journey. From day one, he was more than just a DJ he was so easy to work with, helping us plan every musical detail and special moment with professionalism, creativity, and heart. Communication was always smooth and open. Every question, idea, and last-minute change was met with patience and positivity. He truly listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. From the ceremony to the grand entrance, first dance, and dance floor vibes. He nailed every transition and kept the energy perfect from start to finish. DJ Maniakal didn't just play music, he created an unforgettable atmosphere that reflected us as a couple. We are beyond grateful for his talent, care, and professionalism. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further. This man is the real deal. Thank you, DJ Maniakal, for being such an important part of our day. You absolutely killed it! read more

Tommy is an absolute professional who takes great care in what he does. We heard him playing at a pop up and knew we needed to grab his card and book him for our wedding. He met with us at the venue beforehand to help prep for the day and where he would be stationed and he asked thoughtful questions about the music in key parts of our ceremony. On the big day, he was an amazing emcee who helped everything flow and kept the energy high. He knew exactly what songs to play to get people on the dance floor and keep them there. His energy is so positive and that translates to the party. We trusted him completely and knew we were in great hands. Thank you, Tommy for being the best at what you do. Seriously, book this man. You won't regret it! read more

10/5. Over and beyond. Trustworthy, on top of things and really tracks the crowd to feed their energy. He brought our group from dancing on the dance floor to GETTING DOWN on the dance floor! It was really great to be a part of but also watch the magic. He tracked all cues and schedule of events without needing one reminder, which is really appreciated. Check out his pictures. Look how much fun people are having! That is the magic of DJ Maniakal! read more

Tommy was the best DJ wedding we could have asked for. Right off the bat he was very friendly, fun, and clearly knowledgeable. He has an extensive background in working as a DJ and it shows! Tommy was also very generous with his time, having several phone calls with us during the planning phase to ensure we had all details finalized. At the wedding itself, Tommy brought such fun energy to the day not only as the DJ but the MC as well. Our venue had a few instances where we lost power for a few minutes, and Tommy did a great job and handling the situation and keeping things moving, so much so that I think most guests and myself hardly noticed! He got the crowd excited for our grand entrance, special dances, and open dance floor! Overall Tommy truly listened to our requests and helped bring our vision to life. We would definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding or event DJ! read more

100000/5 We couldn't be any happier with Dj Maniakal! He was our Dj at our wedding and was such a great asset! Since the beginning he was so helpful at figuring out what we wanted and making that dream come true. He helped guide us through the wedding and worked so well with our venue, our photographer, and wedding planner to make sure the day went smoothly and got the crowd going! I even saw Thomas at one point helping set up tables which he didn't have to do! He really took the time to find out our vibe and find perfect parts of the song to fit the occasion. I have to admit our music taste might be a little random but Thomas made it work and made it so smooth that it wasn't an awkward transition between genres. He was wonderful at reading the crowd and keeping the party going. Despite it being FREEZING everyone was on the dance floor dancing their hearts out. Unfortunately, the day goes by too fast and I wish we could have kept partying the whole night because we were having so much fun. I cannot recommend Dj Maniakal enough for your next special event! He is professional and just an overall cool down to earth person and you won't regret having him as at your Dj at your next special event. He was loved so much that our wedding venue asked for his contact information! Thank you Tommy for making our Wedding day so memorable! read more

From amazing music selection, music transitions, mediating different games, shoutouts, lighting and reminders, it all went smoothly with his help.

Tommy was flexible, energetic, and fun. We really had no idea how to plan a wedding and Tommy was the best wedding wingman you could ask for. Not only was the music perfect, but he really helped us plan the wedding. He took charge during the ceremony and reception when we needed him, he coordinated with other vendors to bring everything together, and he brought the party to life. All our guests reported that they had a great time and loved the DJ. Honestly, we could not have pulled the wedding off without Tommy. He rocks! read more

Our guests loved his energy and we highly recommend him to our friends and family for any future events. read more

Summary- I will definitely hire him again for any event I have What he did- DJ at my wedding at Auberge du Soleil in Napa. He did a fantastic job. The venue is super strict about all the vendors (noise restrictions etc for music, set up, clean up) and he was really nice and flexible with all of the restrictions. My wedding also ran an hour behind schedule due to the slow dinner service but Thomas just rolled with it and cued my family and bridal party to make their speeches when there was time. We were supposed to have 2 hours for dancing and, on the spot, he was able to cut down the dj set to an hour. Everyone, from my 30 year old college friends to my 50 year old aunts and uncles, were loving the music. Every song and transition was totally on point. Even before the wedding Thomas was really collaborative in trying to come up with the vibe for each part of the wedding (cocktail hour, dinner, dancing). He's really easy to talk to, really easy to contact, and has a very chill demeanor. This is exactly what I needed leading up to my wedding. We love his work so much that he's done my wedding, he did my sisters wedding and he's also going to DJ for my nephew's first birthday. Music is super important to my family cuz we love dancing so the fact that we keep using him is a huge endorsement. Price- sooo reasonable given what he does! When I told my makeup artist how much he was charging she asked me to send his details for her own parties! read more

DJ Maniakal turned our wedding from a nice celebration to the spot to be! He is thorough with his communication and made it super easy to set the vibe for all the different parts of our wedding which is quite a feat considering we went from orchestra covers during the waiting part of the ceremony, R&B/Hip Hop during the reception, to hard techno by the end of the night lol. He was very accommodating and constantly checking in with us to keep us on track. When he says I can play anything you want he means it and does it seamlessly! He is also very adaptable as it took longer than expected to finish our post ceremony photos and was able to fill in some music time that we didn't account for. Everyone had nothing but compliments for his DJing. If you're looking to make sure the mood is perfect and the energy matches what you've dreamed for your event I would BOOK NO ONE ELSE. HE IS THE BEST! read more

This review is long overdue. In July DJ Maniakal came to San Juan Bautista to DJ my dad's 70th birthday party. From the very beginning he was responsive, patient, and easy to work with. The whole process was smooth and he even asked me if I was comfortable with the contract and if I needed anything changed. I highly recommend him for any event. He was so very kind and if I have another event he will be the only DJ I higher. The best part was my niece and her husband who said they loved having him and he played anything they requested. A huge thank you to DJ Maniakal and may he get all the business because he deserves it! read more

Best DJ EVER!!! Dj Maniakal made our wedding unforgettable! He is super detailed and made sure everything ran smoothly, even when we went off schedule.

I hired DJ Maniakal for my wedding April 2022. First met him while he was DJing at a bar one night in Pleasanton and got his information there from him. From there working out the details for my wedding and the music was easy with his direction. Very well organized and kept in touch with everything that he needed. I appreciated his positive attitude throughout the process! He did a great job during the wedding, loved the communication throughout and everyone had good things to say about him at the end. I highly recommend DJ Maniakal for any event! read more

I just got married earlier this month and we hired Dj Maniakal. He was amazing since the first contact. He is very professional and extremely helpful. He guided me through the entire process of choosing the perfect wedding music. I was skeptical that my guests would dance but Dj Maniakal did a fantastic job of getting EVERYONE on the dance floor (even the older crowd and the nondancers). He read the vibe of the crowd and kept the party going. He came on time, prepared with proper equipment and lighting. He played all the right songs at the right times and really helped create the perfect day for my husband and I. Definitely recommend him!! read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! He was my Dj for my wedding and I've also done a couple pop up events that he's Dj'd. NEVER disappointed!!! No matter the crowd he always has the perfect music! Literally won't go to any other dj! Locked in for life!! read more

Ayyyyyyyye go DJ that's my DJ.!!!!!! I absolutely LOVED Dj Maniakal :D he had my wife & I baby shower turnt UP.!! He isn't the ordinary dj that throws on a playlist with a few mix ins of what you want.... Nah not my DJ. He blew our minds with the music we requested... taking it easy into the turn up & then dropped the ending flames or what we call slaps in the Bay :) he was an amazing MC all through out our event making sure to remind everyone why they were there... to support us. He literally brought the vibes of that favorite cousin on the aux cord bumping the vibes haha.! He delivered BEYOND our expectations & people are still talking about our event let alone DJ Maniakal & it's been 3 days since our event. I catch myself watching our videos just to see myself shaking a tail feather to his vibes.! I was supposed to be relaxing & enjoying my guests.... But I couldn't resist being on the dance floor.!! He is so fun to interact with, his commitment & communication is top tier.! I've worked with plenty of dj's especially in the Bay but nobody comes close to the professionalism, fun & outgoing mannerisms of my DJ. We appreciate you & value you so much.! You're literally part of the family & will be at more events to come. Do not pass him up... you choose any other DJ, I can guarantee you will regret it. Not to mention the price is beyond reasonable for all he offers. Trish, baby Genevieve & I love & appreciate you so much for making our day so special.!! read more

3yrs ago I was planning my Oldest daughter Quinceanera and needed someone to help me contact the surprise guest. I was recommended DJ Maniakal and ofcourse he was able to put us in contact. He was the most helpful with the contract and made event go smoothly. We just rehired him for the same daughter High School Graduation family gathering and was a Success, music was "on point". we also were interested in having Spanish music so he was able to have a friend collaborate with him. We had just a great time that we couldn't get enough of him, had him stay for an extra hour. Not only is he amazing to DJ he is just a well rounded person that has been in the industry and the Bay Area for some time, He knows what's up.. Lol like I've told him.. He is Our Family DJ from now on. read more

DJ Maniakal is the man for the job!! Not only is he a wonderful friend of mine but he is the best DJ I've seen and gotten the chance to hire. My wife and I hired him for our wedding and we're absolutely blessed with the results and process. He was very easy to work with and made sure that he filled in any of our blanks with his expertise and based on his experience. Without his help, organization and gear no part of our ceremony or reception could have gone well. We even had some electrical issues at the venue and he was flexible and helped us keep our string lights and his gear connected. His energy combined with his great mixing and transitions even got my mother in law and others onto the dance floor who we didn't expect to see dancing. I can't speak enough to how organized he was and how early he made sure we had what we wanted so that as the event approached, we didn't have to worry about anything. DJ Maniakal even collaborated very well with our event coordinator and took on what fell through the cracks! Loved having him there and enjoyed his services. Highly recommend DJ Maniakal!! read more

We've seen Maniakal in a couple of other performance settings, he's amazing and talented in many ways! We asked him to do our whole wedding. The vibe was great, close attention to detail, made everything super easy on us because of course we have never planned a wedding before, haha. Maniakal thought of EVERYTHING we wouldn't have caught and we are so happy to have had a damn near perfect guy like him a part of our special day. We love you! read more

This review is a little late but definitely still worth posting. Tommy did an amazing job providing our holiday party entertainment. He truly made planning stress free and his attention to detail allowed us to fully enjoy our event. He was very accommodating to all of our requests and had a diverse selection of music to accommodate all the cultures within our team. His skill as a DJ is impressive and seamless. Our guests raved about their experience on the dance floor. Highly recommend! Thanks for everything Tommy! read more

Dj Maniakal showed up and showed out for our wedding. Forget 5 stars this guy is 10 stars. We heard about him from a friend. One never knows and I was a little skeptical. I guess I'm the skeptical friend. Thomas got in contact with us and began sending us email about music and timelines. I've hired DJ's before and they never asked many questions and sent emails. I know realize why- they do what they want and it's never quite right. Dj Maniakal is different he does what you want. This gentleman is dedicated. I said to my fiancé at the time is this stuff necessary and she said My friend says he is the real deal. He has performed around the world and radio. I don't know DJ's so I reluctantly answered his questions and emails. Then we set a meet and great so he could see venue and have the correct equipment. Him and I started talking and I instantly realized this is a really good guy who wants people to be happy with music. I really never met someone so dedicated to music and the process. Its what I hear people say about the top artists in the industry. He is dedicated perfection. He followed up on everything. He knew what equipment to use. Apparently, he has a wide variety. We discussed Music on beach prior to bride and groom arriving, music as bridesmaids walked, groomsman etc to music that played while we were with photographer. First dance, father daughter, mother-son music. Music to play during dinner. Music that made 12 year olds jump and senior citizens. When we did not know he gave us options and various suggestions. Never pushy but options. We did not go crazy with lighting but he has it if you want it. Now that I know what a true DJ is I'll never randomly hire someone. When we needed to organize folks, he made it happen. When speeches were made he made sure it occurred. He had a timeline. Literally everything he did was perfect. Some DJ's want to talk and grab attention and Add their own flare. No, not Thomas he was a minimalist. He made everything about us and never over talked on the mic. Our wedding was roughly 100 people and 98 of those people asked us how we found him and took his info because they were so impressed. The other two people partied a bit too much and could not ask. They called after honeymoon and said I need that DJ's info. Seriously! California has so many DJ's to choose from and we definitely had guests that are all about the music. I never expected to meet someone that would so enhance my wedding but he did it. I thank you Dj Maniakal. You kept the party bumping and kept it organized. You are worth every dollar. You are an expert in your field. Thank you so much. read more
