"This was the best wedding DJ we've ever experienced" said ALL of our wedding guests! We loved the entire experience of working with DJ Rufio and our wedding dance floor was fun and fresh! People couldn't stop moving. In our initial meeting DJ Rufio had the best energy and asked us great questions to nail our style and what we wanted out of our big day. We could tell he had the best equipment, knowledge in all the technology, and new how to infuse it all to make the best sound and experience (uplighting). He brought our music vision to life and had all guests (no Matter what age or preferred music genre) dancing ALL night! His communication throughout was incredible and he was always prompt to respond. We could tell his preparation was thoughtful and he worked well with all of our vendors. You can feel the passion he has for his craft and he was always just happy and fun to be around. The man behind the mic sets the tone for your guests and DJ Rufio Is THE BEST. read more

Your search for a wedding DJ is now over. You go with my man you will have the night of your life!! Extremely professional, amazing preparation, meticulousness is unmatched, also one of the friendliest person you'll ever meet. All my other friends who got married were all "meh" about their DJ experience, And Ive been to so many weddings where the DJ was mid, which made me nervous. BUT DjRufio/Mat cared just more about the details of my wedding than me, so after just 2 meetings, he covered every single detail and I was so confident that everything will turn out great and it did. Mat, thank you for making one of the most important nights of my life also one of the most fun. read more

Mat Catalan is the best! My younger sister was married in June, and lucky me, I was asked to plan everything. I spent a lot of time trying to find a DJ who would be a perfect fit for my sister and her now husband, and also one that would work with our $5,000 budget for the entire wedding. Mat definitely went above and beyond anything I would have expected. Mat brought all of his own equipment and it all worked perfectly. I didn't even know that the lights were included, and most other DJs I talked to would only bring lights at an extra charge. He managed to match the lighting perfectly to the décor, making the room look twice as beautiful as it already did. He kept the reception going very nicely. Most of the time he was a step ahead, knowing what should be done next without me even telling him! He also talked to our photographer throughout the event to make sure that they were coordinated and she got the pictures she wanted on the dance floor. The music that requested by the bride and groom was all played, and the songs that he picked out matched perfectly with their taste in music. It was my first time seeing a couple's first dance be the Wedding Singer song, but my sister loved that he was able to find it and I was impressed that I heard every single song on the list. Another important factor, he was very un-cheesy. There were laughs, but nothing that was even the slightest embarrassing. One of the biggest surprises when I realized what a great DJ he is, Mat's rates are really reasonable. We were working on a very tight budget and after researching online and going to a bridal expo, I was about to plug in an iPod and call it a night. However, I ended up paying over what was agreed upon because I felt like he went above and beyond our expectations. The entire family and the guests I heard back from really loved the music. My dad, who would rather be at home watching the game than anywhere else, was very impressed and had nice things to say about the music without me needing to twist his arm. Seriously, if you need a DJ for any event, I am 100% confident that Mat can provide what you need. Best way to tell what an awesome DJ he is, the dance floor was packed all night. Not a dull moment!! read more

We hired Mathew for his DJ services, for our august 2018 wedding and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. We loved his energy and positivity, very professional as well as knowledgable. He helped us pick out songs, set up beautiful and was fairly priced at the same time. Everyone loved his music at our wedding. Just overall his performance and services are so worth it, compared to so many other people we would pick Mathew every time. Thank you so much Mathew and look forward to working with you again. read more

From the first time we met, Mat just oozed personality, professionalism, and fun! Hiring a DJ is difficult because you really can't judge the quality of the work based on pictures or sound clips alone. How much fun will your friends have? Will the person be professional and respectful during the big day? You really can't know! So please read this review and trust that if you go with DJ Rufio, you won't be disappointed :) Mat had us feeling confident in our decision from Day 1 even without ever hearing or seeing his work. He came prepared to talk about his previous gigs, and what he would be able to offer (which is a lot!). He's so personable and friendly that you really can't help but enjoy yourself with him - and this was just the meet and greet! I can't say enough how impressed we were with Mat's professionalism, friendliness, and honesty. He worked seamlessly with our coordinator and photographer, and everything went off without a hitch! Our friends had a great time and of course, so did we. Mat even caught an error we made to the billable hours and adjusted our total even though it deducted from his bottom line. DJ Rufio/Mat is the BEST! If you're looking for a DJ - you've found him :) read more

Seriously, could not have asked for a more smoother process figuring out the DJ and music for my graduation party in Sacramento. DJ Rufio was very professional, courteous, accommodating, and most importantly, VERY SKILLED at his craft. I was not expecting the incredible level of service and overall experience that he provided and would definitely book him again, perhaps when I get married haha. Some of the other highlights also included DJ Rufio being very go with the flow with last minute adjustments to our program agenda and him being very dedicated to all the music that played throughout the evening.. sometimes even if that meant him stopping in between bites of the dinner we served to him and all our guests. THANK YOU DJ RUFIO! I'll hit you up again for the wedding ;) read more

Out of this world INCREDIBLE!!! DJ Rufio is literally superhuman. He DJ'd and provided all sound for our wedding in Hopland and did the most fantastic job. Our guests had an absolutely blast and the sound quality was phenomenal. We are so impressed by Matt's talents and level of professionalism. EVERYONE should have DJ Rufio at their wedding. The man freaking rocks on all levels!!! read more

DJ Rufio was amazing! He DJ'd our wedding a few months back and he did a wonderful job. He was very easy to work with and very flexible, especially with the craziness of the rain with plan b, c, and d for the indoor reception. He knows how to read the crowd very well. My friends and family had such a great time dancing. Definitely recommend! read more

See all

Mat has been awesome from Day 1. So friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. Music is my thing- I'm very specific but also have a weirdly wide range in my taste- and he rolled with it and had a fun similar taste in music. He was thorough in checking details leading up to our wedding day and he made our ceremony special and reception fun. I have never seen that much of my family on the dance floor and he kept our friends on there until the venue told us we all had to leave. For his talent and service I think other DJs would charge a lot more but it was beyond reasonable. I would definitely recommend him for any wedding or event!! read more

Mat, aka DJ Rufio, is unbelievable. He was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and we were not let down. We had 1 phone appointment about 2-3 months before our wedding date where we discussed our music preferences, likes/dislikes, etc. He was kind, understanding, and bubbly. For our first dance song, we had chosen a song that was slightly too fast so he used his awesome DJ skills to slow down the song for us and it turned out PERFECT - I almost cried when I first heard it! To say the least, he went above and beyond. On the wedding day, the dance floor was packed all through the night and our family & friends raved about him, even asking him for business cards. You will not be let down! Another upside: his pricing is very fair and payment options are very flexible. read more

Mat (DJ Rufio) is an absolute pleasure to work with. Very flexible, organised, professional and courteous. He worked for my wedding and put as both at ease, and helped us get our ceremony set up with a wireless mic. Great music choices, and a great time was had. Highly recommended. Cannot give high enough praise! read more

DJ Rufio did our Wedding and he was off the hook!!! From the music selection to the light show to getting the guests to the dance floor and keeping them there all night.. Everything was top shelf with DJ Rufio and my husband and I would highly recommend him .. Over and over again. read more

DJ Rufio is awesome! We booked Mat as the DJ at my wedding after two of our friends used him and gave us great feedback. He definitely did not disappoint. He had the dance floor rocking the whole night. For weeks afterwards we had people come up and tell us that they had never danced so much at a wedding before. Mat is a true professional. Wedding planning was time consuming and stressful, but he made the process easy for us. My wife gave him some songs, genres, and artists and he took it from there. Definitely plan to use DJ Rufio for any future events!!! read more

First off, my now husband and I had hired a friend to be a our DJ for our wedding (and yes he is an actual DJ), our friend DJ ended up dating a good friend of mine, and when lo and behold they broke up he fired my husband and I and at the last minute told us he would no longer do our wedding. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE FRANTIC. So we started asking around and Mat Catalan was recommended through a very good friend of ours. We could not be happier that we were fired by our first DJ. Mat was amazing. We met on two different occasions to go over the music we wanted and never did we feel like we were a burden on Mat. The day of could not have gone better. Mat had EVERYTHING under control, kept us in the loop, played AMAZING music, and kept the party going. Mat was not as familiar with country music, which we wanted some of, but went above and beyond including specially requested country songs, and even found some of his own to throw in. We were quite impressed. He even put his own DJ spin on some good old country tunes, and we LOVED IT! Everyone from the sixteen year olds to my 85 year old grandfather were out on the dance floor busting their moves. We have NO complaints about the great service that Mat provided for our wedding. Everyone loved him, and felt he kept the wedding flowing perfectly. We are grateful to have found such an amazing DJ!! Thank you Mat for making our day perfect!!!! read more

I have never written a review before and knew it was necessary to write this one. DJ Rufio recently was our DJ at our wedding and he was everything we hoped for and more. I knew from the moment that I met him, everything would run smoothly and it did. Planning for a wedding can be a little stressful, and I knew finding a good DJ was important to set the flow of the wedding. Mathew made the planning for the music portion stress free and I did not worry about a thing on the wedding day. From the beginning, he was very professional and accommodating, not to mention very reasonable when it came down to pricing. At the very last minute, 4 days before our wedding day, my husband and I decided to have our dear friend play the piano during the ceremony. Not only was Mathew fine with this add on, he also made this request seamless and guided us where to rent the keyboard that would fit his system as well as offered to get it for us. He goes above and beyond and I would recommend him to anyone planning an event. read more

DJ Rufio/Mat was the DJ for our wedding earlier this year and we have nothing but great things to say about him. Mat was very professional during our planning phase and was always willing to meet up with us in person to discuss our set list and other details of the wedding. He provided great input and feedback on the set list and our guests had a great time. I'd highly recommend Mat for any and all wedding/functions. read more

DJ Rufio is absolutely amazing! He is super easy-going and professional, very helpful and informative, as well as punctual and organized. My (now) husband and I had Mat DJ our wedding, recently, and everything was perfect! We had about 200 guests ranging from age 1 to 80, and every one of them danced, even those like my grandparents whom I've never seen dance!!! From planning what music to play to dropping the beats, DJ Rufio is a perfect fit for any occasion! read more

We hired Mat for our wedding in October 2017. He was fantastic! Mat is extremely easy to work with and professional. We didn't have a wedding coordinator and did all of the planning ourselves, but Mat took over the timeline that day and kept us on schedule. This allowed us to really enjoy and celebrate. He also kept the dance party going all night. It's been a couple of months since our wedding but we are still getting compliments about the music - from the young and older. We would recommend Mat to DJ any event. read more

Mat is an amazing DJ! He recently DJ'd our wedding and we couldn't be happier. My husband and I had a less than traditional wedding and we didn't want dancing to be focus of the reception. We wanted a more fun, casual, party vibe. Mat listened and was PERFECT! People who wanted to dance did and those who didn't enjoyed great music and fun times. He really has sense of what you want and he can deliver! Thanks Mat!! read more

Mat (DJ Rufio) was a pleasure to work with. He's professional, responsive, and organized. He welcomed music playlist customization and required minimal back and forth to nail down our event specifics. Dealing with a handful of relatively unresponsive wedding vendors was a headache in and of itself, but Mat was a breath of fresh air. We also received several compliments about the DJ throughout the memorable dance party. We would highly recommend Mat! read more

Mat (DJ Rufio) is one of a kind! We hired Mat for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for better service. He is extremely professional, personable, and willing to go above and beyond to provide you with what you want for your event. Our guests came up to us with numerous compliments about him, his selection of music, and his ability to keep the party rolling all night long. On top of his professionalism and talent, he is a totally down to earth and humorous guy. We can't recommend him enough!! Thank you, DJ Rufio, for making our event truly awesome. read more

We were recommended Mat for our wedding this past April and he was the best DJ we could have asked for. He is so professional and personable. Very easy to work with, incredibly accommodating, and his prices are reasonable. We threw a lot of song requests at him super last minute and he was able to incorporate them all. We were pretty specific about the genre of music we wanted during dinner vs during dancing -- and he was spot on with everything we had asked for. We wanted a good mix of spanish and english music which he did perfectly. He played something for everyone and got basically everyone out dancing. Mat really took the time to get a sense of what we wanted and didn't want, what we liked and didn't like. He really made this portion of wedding planning a breeze and we cannot thank him enough for that. He is a really talented DJ and can read a room super well. He actually "DJs" too which was awesome to see someone so skilled at their craft. You can really tell he truly enjoys what he does and it comes out through his work. He took all the random requests that were thrown at him during the night as well. We have gotten so many comments about how great our DJ was at our wedding and how everyone enjoyed the music. Mat's set up at beautiful. He knows how to set up the room to make it feel festive but still look like a professional event, not like a club. I can literally go on and on about how fantastic Mat was. We would absolutely recommend and should we need a DJ in the future, we know exactly who we would book. read more

Mat Catalan is the definition of class, genuinity, and a damn good time!!! I contacted Mat about a year before our wedding and he was extremely organized and on top of his services. We had made several changes right before the wedding and he handled them with ease and even texted us back with a song change at midnight the night before. He is AMAZING. We recently had our wedding this past weekend in an out of nowhere wind, rain and lightening storm. He handled the elements with ease moving all equipment quickly into our nearby barn and had music playing within 20 minutes never skipping a beat. He played music that had every generation up on their feet and moving on the dance floor. Mat is a class act and his equipment is amazing. His ability to match lighting with his music is pure talent as well as his ability to announce and keep all microphones working without a glitch. I could go on and on about Mat, and so could my guests! The positive feedback about his services was dominant. We are so thankful from the bottom of our hearts for the DJ services DJ Rufio Entertainment provided us with and would recommend him in a heartbeat!! read more
