When I was on the hunt for the perfect vendors for our wedding, I went through a huge list of DJs. I had gone through so many profiles of DJ's and they were all starting to sound the same, and yet no one perfectly fit the bill for what we were looking for. I got a little overwhelmed but my planner finally sent me Prism DJ's (I wanted a strong women vendor team) and I landed on Tessa's profile, who fit what we wanted to a tee! Tessa was responsive and easily accessible. She had kept in touch with us throughout our 2 year planning process (due to COVID postponement.) When the time finally approached, we had multiple communications with what music and vibe we wanted to have. We had a more unique first dance request and Tessa mixed it and pulled that off perfectly during reception. She talked just enough without talking too much. We had given her a Spotify playlist, but let her have some freedom. Basically she felt the vibe and energy, and played whatever felt appropriate! Honestly she got everything SPOT ON. Our guests were raving about our DJ and how fantastic she was. Every single song was a hit and the dance floor was poppppping! I was dreading that our dance floor would be sad and empty but it was full of energy, people were singing and dancing, including my older family members! Everyone was having the time of their lives and Tessa brought that out of them! If you guys are considering her, don't even think any further. I can't recommend her enough. Tessa was honestly SO cool and we're so very grateful for what she brought to our wedding. It was the best day ever and we'll never forget the role she played in it! Thank you so much Tessa! read more

DJ Tessa is the best in the city and I know this because I have worked with a lot of them! When it came time to planning my own wedding, I knew we had to book Tessa. Not only is she great at understanding your tastes/vibe, reading the crowd and keeping the dance floor full, she is also just one of the kindest people you will ever meet. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from all our guests on DJ Tessa! If you are looking for an exceptional DJ who really knows how to play to any type of event or wedding, book DJ Tessa! read more

I talked to a lot of wedding DJs in 2020 when planning for my wedding and most of them felt very transactional - conversations were bland and formulaic. When my wife and I met Tessa online for an introductory call, she got to know us as a couple before actually diving into any of the wedding logistics. She is charismatic, professional, and full of fun. Everything from signing the contract to filling out the music form to the actual wedding day went without a hitch. The dance floor was ALIVE! From oldie jams to modern hit songs, Tessa was able to weave in and out of genres flawlessly. All of the guests absolutely loved every moment of the dance party, and I could not have found a better DJ for our wedding. I highly recommend this amazing, talented DJ to everyone :) read more

Tessa was an absolute hit at our wedding at the Ebell in Long Beach. She was incredibly friendly and understood the wedding schedule down to a T. She was highly communicative and made good suggestions when asked. Tessa created a perfect setlist custom made for our musical tastes and our guests could not stop raving about how awesome our dance party was! Thank you DJ Tessa read more

We were looking for a badass female DJ of color to play our wedding & music was a top priority category for us. DJ Tessa was nothing short of incredible. She clearly understood the vibes we were going for during different parts of the day, when she made changes they were all for the better, and she had a sharp instinct for what was working on the dance floor. We didn't KNOW our dance floor was going to turn into karaoke night, but we were so hyped it did!! read more

Where do I begin on how grateful my husband and I that we found DJ Tessa was our DJ for our wedding?! So first off, I really wanted a female DJ (women supporting women am i right?) :) When we scheduled for a video "interview", she was so attentive, accommodating, and easy to talk to. I felt like she understood exactly the vibe that we wanted for our wedding and so I was sold on her :) Also when I was listening to her soundcloud and her sample playlists for previous weddings she worked on, they were MAJOR BOPS! We knew she would fit perfectly for our wedding. When I told the wedding venue that we chose DJ Tessa for our DJ, they were so thrilled and said that we made an excellent choice! One of the things I found most surprising given her profession was that she's an early bird so we were able to schedule morning calls with her as well! She was always flexible with her schedule and I loved that she not only does weddings but does commercial gigs as well and seemed to be in the know of different genres of music and found songs that complemented the type of songs that I requested for the wedding. The day of the wedding, she arrived early and was very professional! She knew how to read the crowd and deliver songs accordingly. She also would make announcements as needed but was very to the point (no lame cheesy MC jokes lol). Actually at one point in the evening, I couldn't find my wedding planner to ask something about the visuals playing during the reception and Tessa helped me out and was able to juggle both at the same time! I didn't know this at the time, but my MOH had something planned for their MOH speech and collaborated with Tessa as well and they had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. :) Everyone stated that the music selection was ON POINT and people couldn't stop talking about how much fun the party was I can go on and on about Tessa at how wonderful she is at her job and what a wonderful human being she is. In a male-dominated field, it felt awesome to support a woman DJ and for her to nail every aspect of being an phenomenal DJ. SHE ROCKS and we think everyone should hire her! JUST DO IT! you will not regret it. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING TESSA! read more

If you're looking for a DJ that can keep people on a dance floor for 5 hours straight, Tessa is the DJ for you! With a pandemic wedding we wanted to make it the ultimate dance party with genres that would get everyone on the dance floor and Tessa delivered exactly that! Our party went until 1am and everyone had such a fantastic time. Tessa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She spent time getting to know us as a couple and to understand our vision for our wedding, and overall was really great at communicating with us over the months of coordinating with her. Her energy and charisma, excellent communication and professionalism, and ability to mix music seamlessly is everything we hoped for in our wedding DJ and more. Thank you Tessa!! read more

Tessa was the DJ for our wedding. It was a pleasure working with her throughout the entire process. She is detail oriented, organized, responsive, and super easy to work with. It took us some time to figure out the sound system requirements with the venue and Tessa was very patient and helpful throughout the process. She offered her professional opinions and came up with different scenarios as well. Music was a huge priority for us and Tessa provided us with the perfect soundtrack for our special day. Tessa set the exact vibe we wanted throughout the day, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to dinner and dancing. We loved how she mixed in all the different genres - multiple friends came up to us to say how awesome our DJ was! We are so happy to have her as our DJ and hope we have the chance to work together again in the future! read more

DJ Tessa was the perfect fit for our wedding and we wouldn't have it any other way! She was cool, calm and collected from the very beginning (which was all the way back in April of 2020 as we were a COVID postponement). When we started our search, it was important for my wife and I to find an inclusive female DJ who was used to multi-cultural weddings, since we included Filipino-Chinese traditions like a tea ceremony and money dance during our reception. Tessa listened to what we needed, asked for any song requests that we wanted at the beginning and then somehow managed to blow our minds with an incredible set with songs edited down to the second and songs we completely forgot to request! She even coordinated a huge surprise from our family on the dance floor that included multiple song changes and performances (including a ballroom style vogue competition with our cousins). How she did it? We still have no idea. But it was seamless, upbeat from start to finish, and more than we could ever imagine. We're going to have to come up with more celebrations for DJ Tessa to work her magic all over again! Thanks for the best day of our lives, Tessa! read more

We had the fortune of having Tessa as our DJ for our recent wedding at the La Canada Thursday Club. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!! She did a phenomenal job and many of our guests were leaving compliments her way and asking about her! (we were obviously more than happy to make the referral). We had a vision for specific songs for our ceremony and a specific atmosphere for our cocktail hour, dinner reception, and ensuing festivities. Tessa listened to our music preferences and curated phenomenal playlists that implemented our vision perfectly. She also absolutely crushed it during the remainder of the reception and was able to keep the dance party alive and thriving throughout the night! Tessa was incredibly fun and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. She was organized and took the time to have two brief phone meetings to get a sense of what we wanted for our wedding. She was prompt, readily responsive by email, and always positive and friendly. The entire process felt very personalized. The wedding day itself went without any issues, and we and our guests absolutely LOVED her DJ'ing. We ABSOLUTELY recommend her! THANK YOU TESSA! read more

Tessa was superb! Super easy to work with beforehand, very professional, always responsive, and most importantly she played an amazing set all night at our party. She listened to what music we wanted and did an amazing job of integrating it with top 40 dance music. We got so many great comments on the music all night. I have to mention the lighting as well, it was a really nice addition and added to the ambiance. I can't wait for our next party because that means we get to have DJ Tessa back. read more

DJ Tessa - DJ Tessa in my backyard. Wish sound came with this photo! - DJs Near Me

Words are not enough to describe how incredible DJ Tessa is at what she does! My (now) husband and I were amidst planning our wedding with our highest priorities being Music, Alcohol, and Food! We found DJ Tessa through Prism DJs and loved her mixes online /everything Prism stood for as a female DJ collective! We reached out, fingers crossed, to see if she was available for our wedding and after some time spent biting our nails we learned she was! From the very first email, responses were informative - quick - and it was obvious she took all of our wishes and concerns very seriously. It sounds strange to say, but she somehow managed to make it feel like we were 100% top-priority-most-important-soon-to-be-newlyweds in the world! Needless to say, we felt very special. Our wedding went off without a hitch. Tessa aced it! She brought so much depth to every moment of the night with expert finesse. WISH WE WERE GETTING MARRIED AGAIN so we could have Tessa back! Maybe a 5 year anniversary party?? read more

I worked with Tessa at a series of Elle Magazine & Wella Hair Product parties. She was an absolute class act. She was very punctual (if not EARLY) and brought impressive equipment that aesthetically looked very good. Pink turn tables! Her music was fantastic and it truly helped keep the vibe of the parties upbeat to where everyone in the room (no matter what sort of music they liked) was bobbing their head. Tessa showed great professionalism, was kind to guests and has an amazing talent. She's one of those vendors that shows up knowing what she needs to do and exceeds expectations. She is a breath of fresh air! A+ vendor, can't wait to work with her again. read more

DJ Tessa - DJs Near Me

See all

Tessa was everything and more than what we wanted. My wife and I worked with her for our wedding in April 2018. She was our DJ and MC. Our wedding was not an easy job as we needed to set up in a few different areas. However, Tessa and her team did it seamlessly and the quality was great. I would highly recommend her to anybody and am confident that she would be a great person to work with for your event. Tessa is a phenomenal DJ. Not only does she have great taste in music, she is able to use her intuition to play what people want. She doesn't just press a button and let the song play, she controls the mood and vibe of the room by reading the crowd. She did an incredible job with this. Tessa is extremely professional. She is punctual, knowledgeable​, trustworthy, and experienced. She had answers to all of our questions​ and would follow up with us if there was something that she was unsure of. She was able to give us insight into things unrelated to her expertise because she has so much experience with various events. This was so helpful for us and it meant so much that we could trust her. Lastly, and most importantly, Tessa is a great human being. She is the sweetest​, kindest, and most humble person. My wife and I immediately felt like she was a friend after our first meeting. She made us feel extremely comfortable from the very beginning which helped relieve a lot of stress. This was the big differentiator for us and the reason why we wanted to work with Tessa. Tessa is phenomenal! Work with her! You won't be disappointed. read more

I hired Tessa for a fundraising event I organized and she was absolutely fantastic. She was attentive to the theme of the night as well as to my musical taste and had prepared a wonderful playlist. On the night of the event, she set up her equipment quickly and efficiently, and was on top of things all night long. I really appreciate the fact that I was able to rely on her 100% during that night. It took some pressure off my shoulders. Also, my guests and I enjoyed the music very much. I do think it helped made this night a total success! I would totally hire Tessa again and recommend her to anyone looking for a cool smart artistic girl ready to play great music for them. read more

DJ Tessa - DJs Near Me

Can't say enough great things about DJ Tessa! We had Tessa DJ our LA wedding and it was so much fun - multiple people asked us how we picked out such a great playlist, we told them it was just Tessa picking the tracks! We loved that it was so easy to coordinate with her for the exact songs for the wedding ceremony and for the rest of the night Tessa played the most perfect songs catered to the demographics of the people on the dance floor and the mood and energy as it shifted throughout the night. It was just seamless and effortless for us. Can't thank her enough and would recommend her and her team for anyone's wedding. read more

Tessa was absolutely amazing to work with. She was always responsive and professional. When you have a million things on your list, Tessa is someone you can count on and feel confident about. She is also incredibly kind and easy to collaborate with as you plan your big day. My husband and I always felt comfortable and validated as we planned our wedding. She was the perfect amount of detail-oriented, hands-on and hands-off as we had hoped for. With confidence I say, Tessa is a phenomenal DJ and you are musically in great hands with her. She really reads a room well, brings people together, and has great taste. She completely honored our vision and brought her wonderful energy to the event as well. It must also be said that Tessa provides an undeniable cool by virtue of just being herself. We feel so fortunate that we were able to work with Tessa and thankful for all she did for us. read more

Tessa was the DJ/emcee for my friends' wedding last weekend and she was great! Music is such a big part of making a wedding reception fun and high-energy, and Tessa did a fantastic job. She arrived punctually with her assistant, set up quickly, and asked a few questions to confirm the order of events on her flowchart. Before the ceremony, she had some pleasant background music playing, and afterward she kept things moving along with a good selection of fun, danceable songs that parents and younger guests could both enjoy. Tessa is very professional and it seemed like she would be accommodating to whatever the client's preferences/needs are, but we got the feeling that her own musical tastes were similar to ours and she really got the mood we were going for. ;) Tessa was very friendly and helpful with guests who had requests and questions, and she wore a classy, wedding-appropriate dress for the occasion. Her prices were very reasonable and we were excited to have found a female DJ in a fairly male-dominated profession! I can't recommend Tessa enough -- she did a wonderful job and many people told us afterward what a good time they had. Hire her for your event! read more

There are wedding DJ's and there are legit DJ's who happen to also do weddings. My husband and I had been to countless weddings and by the time it was our turn, we were set on the things we wanted and the things that we could do without: music was key to our special day and was one of the things that we refused to compromise for - we wanted specific songs and wanted someone who would really carry the musical layout for the entire night! You've been to your share of weddings where the music fizzles, guests don't dance, and you're left awkwardly checking your watch/phone, waiting for the perfect moment to leave. We were committed to NOT letting our wedding be that type of wedding. I came across Tessa at one of my 13 (!) venue visits and although we ended up booking a different venue, I remembered the awesome mix she played, how she was legit in the sense that she was mixing onsite, and mostly, she was into the music herself. We exchanged smiles at that venue visit and I got a great, warm vibe from her - I remembered that and the music when the time game for me to interview my own list of wedding DJ options. Tessa made that process painless and was refreshing in the midst of other DJ's who didn't seem to be able to execute the vibe we wanted. I contacted Tessa via email and she invited us to hear her play at a local hotel lounge and I was excited for the opportunity to hear her in action. Brides, in your planning, I can't stress how important this opportunity is. Talking in theoreticals and witnessing actuals tells you so much about a vendor's personality which will ultimately play a role in your big day. At this point, my husband had not yet met her or heard her live and as we sat there listening, we both found ourselves enjoying the music. We met with her after her set, spoke briefly about our musical tastes, and realized it was a perfect match! I was surprised about the level of detail and attention needed to plan the musical layout for our wedding but having Tessa providing the guidance and expertise was so beyond helpful. She worked with us to understand what songs we wanted for the various parts and then helped us shuffle to ensure flow - she provided sample mixes and cuts so that we could hear the actual tracks that would play individually. As if this weren't enough, Tessa also provided light mc'ing through our event and really kept the event flowing. All of my guests, 133 days later, are still fondly remembering how awesome our wedding was and Tessa was a HUGE part of its success. When you've been together a long time (14 years!) and then finally get engaged, life affords you some ability to really make your special day everything you want. Couples, please don't waste your time and money gambling on a DJ that "might" be able to execute your musical vision - the music is one of the most crucial parts of your event and trust, having an awesome DJ is part and parcel to supporting the vibe of your day. I often wish that I could have another part just so I could hear Tessa play again - the cool thing is that as a legit, professional DJ, we can! I hope this review is helpful and fully send you love and light as you plan your perfect day. From one music lover to another, reach out to Tessa. She is everything you want in a DJ and music is her craft not hobby. Tessa, if you come across this review, we love you! Thank you for making our special day, 14 years in the making, everything we could have wanted. We still play your mixes and do a little shimmy! Xo read more

I've recruited Tessa 3 times now for special yoga class + DJ events. She's AWESOME. Not only is she on time, professional and adorable, she also plays sets that are perfected suited to the occasion...AND she promotes the event on her end and brings her friends. I'll definitely be working with Tessa in the future on public yoga + DJ events and will recommend her to anyone needing a classy, cute DJ to add panache to a party or event. I'm a DJ as well, so I can tell when someone is just lazy...not promoting the event, not dressing sharp, just letting their Itunes do the work rather than really programming a true set of music. Not so with Tessa. She really cares about doing a great job for you no matter what she gets paid or what the nature of the event is. read more

Our DJ got double booked so my friend highly recommended Tessa. She moved some things around so she could do our wedding on short notice. We all think it worked out for the better as her style of music was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted our wedding to be a party so top hits and some 90 to 2000 old school jams were what we wanted. We spoke a week before to discuss the whole wedding day, music for each part, and the different styles. She built a playlist couple days later for us to review and it was spot on. She's the same age as us so we liked the same music which made it a breeze. We also had some special request and she made it happen. Overall, she made it super easy and we got exactly what we wanted. You can't ask for anything more from your vendors... read more

DJ Tessa was AMAZING to work with for our wedding! She was so professional leading up to the event and made us feel very prepared. We had specific song ideas for different parts of the wedding, and Tessa crafted the music to fit the vibe we wanted. We especially appreciated her detailed rundown of the whole timeline with us the week before our wedding, reviewing each song selection and giving us recommendations when we needed it. Many people told us afterward that the dance selection was SO good! They wanted to sit down but kept dancing because another awesome song just kept playing one after another. She was also such a great MC, keeping the event moving along, truly one of our best vendors! read more

Tessa is absolutely awesome. We hired her for an internal event and she went above and beyond from beginning to end. Everything from sourcing super weird song choices to playing along with a outfit theme. She was completely professional, punctual, an amazing team player and most importantly completely understood the vibe of the night. The party went strong until the lights came on and the dance floor was packed all night. She totally killed it and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. read more

DJ Tessa is the best DJ ever! After much research on wedding DJ's, I was lucky enough to run across DJ Tessa and I am so glad I did. She our DJ for our wedding and she was a total hit. I am a big music aficionado so I was quite the stickler for making sure that the music for different parts of our wedding fit. Tessa completely understood what I was trying to achieve and came up with awesome recommendations for music that fit the different vibes for the different venues of our wedding. We went over several different playlists and she even sent me over music to preview. Some of the music I hadn't even heard of but immediately fell in love with. Several people at the wedding commented on how amazing the music was. I told Tessa that after the dinner portion of the wedding that I wanted everyone to be dancing all the way up until the end of the wedding. She turned the whole banquet hall into a thumping nightclub. People were dancing the entire night and we literally had to tell people to leave at the end of the wedding. So many people said that they had never had more fun at a wedding and a large part of that was due to the music. Our wedding was a night to remember thanks in big part to Tessa. The music was incredible and she was a dream to work with. Completely recommend hiring Tessa. read more

I Recently attended a red carpet launch party --the Stacy Sterling Launch Party benefitting KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION in Venice, CA and was able to see DJ Tessa first hand spinning them jams-- yes I did just say that. She was so sweet and played such an amazing array of music that kept the event's earthy and boho chic vibe just right-- how do you do that? But it all just seemed to work. She is cute,stylish and definitely one of LA's hottest DJ's literally and figuratively. She knows how to transition a party from meh to O YEAH! Coming from a self proclaimed super star like myself ( one movie credit and tv personality on someone else's reality show-- shameless plug in) -- I do attend a lot of different red carpet events and I must tell you this was one of the best events I attended and i'm pretty sure it was because most of the time when I didn't want to awkwardly " network" with those fame hungry actors ( like myself) I was able to chill by the DJ and enjoy the atmosphere with my drink in hand without any judgement. Thanks DJ Tessa. you rock my socks off. read more

I don't think YELP allows me enough space to adequately sing the praises of miss Tessa, so I will try to make it as concise as possible! Tessa and I have worked together on a multitude of corporate events, most recently for ELLE Magazine, and each time her presence is spirited, professional and calming. Not only is Tessa great at what she does, but she has gone above and beyond by educating herself in what types of music make people tick the most, ensuring that she can tailor her music output to any client's needs, whether it be a personal gathering, a big work party or a huge industry event. Tessa is very personable and conversational, and has all her own equipment, making her an excellent and seamless addition to any team! I can say without a doubt that I can highly recommend DJ Tessa, and hope to work with her again in the future! read more

DJ Tessa is my favorite DJ in LA! She has amazing style and is incredibly talented. No matter the genre you are into she is incredibly versatile with her music choices and is sure to keep you on your feet all night long! I recently hired her for a Wolfgang Puck Catering Holiday Event and she impressed all of my 120 guests! If you're looking for a great DJ and an awesome personality....then Tessa is your girl! read more

I attended a charity event DJ Tessa was spinning (literally) and had an absolutely fantastic time. Not only did she keep everyone's attention, but she was an extremely pleasant person. With her great taste in music, super stylish pesona, and an A+ personality, she's exactly who you'd want to turn a potentially stale event into a fun time for all. Needless to say, she gets a big thumbs-up from me and my group of friends that were in attendance. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to catch her again sometime. read more

DJ Tessa is awesome. We knew great music and dancing would be a priority for our wedding in September and she totally delivered. We gave Tessa a few songs to feel out what we were looking for and she absolutely nailed it. Timing, mixing, song choices - everything was on point and our guests were on the dance floor all night and asking about our DJ. Tessa was also very professional and easy to work with. She was always quick to respond to emails and willing to go out of her way to help with the audio setup. Hiring Prism DJs for our wedding was one of the best choices we made. People still comment on how much fun they had and we owe it all to Tessa! read more

Believe every word of every amazing review on this page. I lost track of the number of people who told me they'd never been to a wedding that jammed as hard as ours did - everybody loved what she played, everybody danced all night, and WE loved how much of our choices she threw in and how much she seemed to care about our experience. She killed it and you would be foolish to book anybody else. read more

DJ Tessa is phenomenal! My wife and I got married in June at Saddlerock Ranch and we are so happy Tessa did our ceremony and reception. After an exhaustive search we stumbled across Tessa's website -- and the minute we listened to a few of her samples on Soundcloud, we knew she was the DJ for us. Tessa was super responsive, very friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. The process leading up to the wedding was very personalized. Tessa worked with us to get a sense of our tastes and a feel for what we wanted each section of the day (pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing!) to feel like. She immediately got our vibe and built out a setlist that felt unique and specific to us. The day of, Tessa was amazing. In addition to DJ'ing, she handled our sound setup. Tessa had familiarity with our venue (and knew many of our other vendors) and everything worked perfectly during the ceremony. She also showed up in the classiest tailcoat -- my wife absolutely adored it! Tessa had us dancing all night long! There was never a lull, never a mass exodus from the dance floor. We couldn't have been happier and we can't recommend her enough. Thanks Tessa! read more

Music is a HUGE deal to my (now) husband and I. We did extensive research to find a DJ who could handle our vast and different music tastes. Tessa weaved different genres together nicely. The dance floor was packed all night. Leading up to our wedding, Tessa checked in with us periodically to make sure we were all on the same page about the vibe we wanted for our day. She was sweet and very professional at every turn, even when our schedule didn't go as planned. (Typical for weddings!) We'd recommend her for any event and would be happy to work with her again. read more

I hired DJ TessLove to DJ a party for my husband and I a few months back. Tessa was the most amazing DJ I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was able to feel the crowd out and knew exactly what to play to keep my partygoers interested, dancing and enthusiastic! She is well versed in music, highly responsive to my requests and made our party a memorable occassion that people are STILL talking about! As much as I thoroughly enjoy working with Tessa on a professional level, she is also one of the coolest people I have ever met. She is fun, energetic, friendly and an all around good person. I will never hire another DJ in this lifetime or any other!! read more

Tessa DJ'd my daughters sweet sixteen party. She was the most professional of the vendors we worked with and was very prompt answering emails. My daughter has been to several other sweet sixteens and has told me how happy she was that Tessa DJ'd hers. She was great at working with my daughter to include music she likes as well as music to keep everyone on the dance floor. She is also a great emcee. I was also happy to find a female DJ with colorful turntables :) read more

There are no words to express how genuine, professional and amazing Tessa has been from the very start, from our first meeting we were lost in music conversation then on to many emails sharing ideas and new music. Tessa absolutely loves her job and music which clearly is her passion thereby making the experience truly refreshing, friendly and an open door to a bounty of new sonic finds. Her attention to detail is extraordinary, never missing a beat. Everything is collaborative and she makes incredible suggestions and mash-ups! We were so lucky to find Tessa for our wedding and we highly recommend her to all that want to have a sonic architect for their event. read more

My husband and I got married earlier this year and waited months to have a larger banquet reception. We didn't plan on hiring a DJ or having any dancing initially, but after a little consideration, we decided to at least look into it. After doing a little comparison shopping, we decided to go with Tessa because of our first impression of her: professional, super nice, and flexible/adaptable to our tastes. As our budget was nearing our cap before we researched DJs, she was understanding and willing to work with us on her fees, and we ended up at a happy place. We didn't offer a lot of direction early on (great clients, right?) and we were still working out details of our program up to the last day, but she took it all in stride. She helped MC part of the evening with my brother, and even brought a couple of lights when I told her that we didn't have any dance-specific lighting. The bulk of the evening was taken up by the 10-course banquet and her selection of background music worked perfectly- not too soothing as to put everyone to sleep, but not so raucous as to be jarring. The dance portion of the evening was a lot of fun. Tessa kept everyone willing to dance on the floor for the rest of the night! From beginning to end, Tessa was courteous, professional, easy-to-work-with, and on-the-ball. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion! Even though ours wasn't super "cool", I can see how she could easily transition a variety of event types. read more

DJ Tessa is professional, on top of things, and super fun. We had her do light MC and DJ our wedding. I am 1000% satisfied with her. She was quick to listen to our requests, took the time to get to know us, and followed up in timely manner. She is super duper and I love her to pieces. When it was show time, she delivered on queue, was very clear and concise in directing our guests, and got the jams on. I highly recommend her for any event. We miss you Tessa and wish you can DJ for us every weekend. We'll keep you in mind for any future events in our lives as well as other opportunities! Jenny and Sarge read more

Tessa made a lovely addition to our exceptional team of wedding vendors on our special day! She was prompt, professional, easy to interact with and played a rockin' playlist! We couldn't have been happier with our choice to hire Tessa, and think you should do the same ;) read more

DJ Tessa is such an awesome pro. We really wanted to hire a DJ that understood our musical taste and we were so lucky to find her! We have an eclectic musical palate (80's/90's alternative/goth/punk etc.). She really listened to us and took into consideration the feeling we wanted to convey for the wedding and reception. She did a great job combining what we wanted, and added some well known tunes that appealed to all tastes in the crowd. She did a freakin' amazing job - everyone at our wedding loved the music she played! Highly recommend her and Prism DJ's (Tessa's all female DJ agency)! read more

DJ Tessa from DJ Prisms was AMAZING! She is absolutely great to work with. She helped us with our wedding on 7.24.16 in Topanga- helping with transitions, announcements, and music for dancing. She has excellent, prompt communication and organization skills. This allowed us to be more at ease in the thick of stressful wedding planning. We had the most memorable night because she knew the ins and outs of our wedding venue. She worked very well with our wedding coordinator to ensure the timeline went smoothly. She has excellent taste in music and kept the dance floor going all night! Our big day wouldn't have been as amazing as it was if Tessa was not there be a pivotal part of it. Thanks again! Much Love, T & J. read more
