Chris is so amazing, Best DJ & MC ever! He made it so easy for us to pick our music and curated the best music set for our entire wedding to our music taste! He made sure everything ran seamlessly throughout our wedding day and helped us party it up till the end. We couldn't stop dancing! He was so receptive, responsive and even when we add things in a few days before the wedding, he gladly help us fit it in. Would definitely recommend everyone to have him for their wedding or any special events! read more

Chris Chan was the not only the DJ but also our MC for the biggest night of our lives. He brought a great energy, listened to our special requests, and delivered on every moment we asked. He brought an awesome music selection that complemented our wedding playlist and totally won the crowd. For anyone looking to celebrate any special event with fun vibes, music and energy, we highlight recommend DJ ZI Entertainment - you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I just got married over the weekend and literally could not wait to write a review about how AWESOME Chris is. He was super helpful in giving us inspiration about what songs to choose. When it became closer to our big day, we had sent him a playlist of songs we liked, and he totally nailed the vibe for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We received so many compliments about how professional and amazing he was during the wedding, and many people thought that he was our long-time friend since we had such great chemistry with him. They also asked us for his playlist since it was so good. He was super responsive and able to adapt to last minute song changes without any hiccup. A real testament to his skill is that our guests started getting on the dance floor way before it was even open. He perfectly captured the energy and vibe we wanted, and our guests felt that. We are so lucky to have Chris DJ and MC our wedding and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. If you don't book him, you are missing out! read more

I actually first knew about Chris because he was the DJ and MC at my friend's wedding. He had left such a great impression on me that I told myself that I would want him to DJ/MC at my future wedding... and this was YEARS ago! I just remember the reception was fun and I had such a great time on the dancefloor! Five years later it is finally my turn to get married and I knew I had to reach out to Chris for my wedding. My husband and I scheduled a virtual meeting with him and loved how friendly and helpful he was from the beginning. Booking him was a no brainer. We also had a final meeting before the wedding where we came up with a timeline of the day. This meeting put my mind at SO MUCH ease because it's really hard to imagine what your day is going to look like before it happens. But going through the timeline together really helped me visualize everything. He also gave a lot of input as to what he thought might flow better based on his experience. My only concern before the wedding was how he would actually manage doing both MC and DJ at the same time. But I was silly for having my doubts because everything was seamless! Chris played all the requested music for the ceremony, then he played fun music during our cocktail hour, and then where he really shined was our reception. I realized that if you don't have a good and organized MC, your reception could potentially be really awkward. But Chris ran the reception so seamlessly, and handled all of our song/ announcements requests so perfectly. He even included some really memorable games that I'm glad we did (which we decided on during our final meeting). I got SO many compliments on how fun the reception was and many people commented on how great of a job Chris did. He was also flexible when random things happened. Also, the music he played on the dancefloor was ON POINT as to what we requested! So much fun!! Chris was easily our favorite vendor at the wedding and we are so thankful to have met him! He is also a very fun-loving, friendly person that gets along with everyone. I highly highly recommend him. Thank you for everything Chris!! read more

Chris is awesome! We're so glad that we had him as our MC/DJ for our wedding in Palm Springs. The process was an ease from booking all the way to the day of the event. He set up a time to have a call to get to know us and walked us through the process. He helped us built the wedding timeline which we ended up sticking to. During the ceremony & reception, all of our requested songs were played on cue, no awkward transition. As we didn't have any father-daughter/mother-son dance/bouquet toss, he did a really great job in filling those times with some games for the guests and everyone had a really great time. As a DJ, Chris has an extensive library of music and can work with any genre. From jazz, house, EDM, 90s R&B, to K-pop, he has it all!!! He even brought his own dance light which totally add to the vibe. I couldn't recommend him enough! read more

Chris is a bro. Yup, that's it. Which DJ do you know comes down from his turntables and dances with you on the floor? Didn't even know that people like this exist until I met Chris. Most DJ's are doing their headphone thingie and who knows wtf they are doing half the time besides playing a pre-set track anyway? The easiest and friendliest guy to work with that can be the best MC despite knowing very little about you. Now that is trueeeee SKILLZ. For all you single ladies out there, Chris is a good looking dude as well. No homo but ya get the point. Highly recommend the guy IF and ONLY IF he's available. Book it with him IMMEDIATELY if you want a good time. read more

I hate to brag, nah I don't, but my wife and I picked the absolute best vendors for our wedding. Chris Chan is not an exception. The only regret I have is that my wife got way too drunk way too early to enjoy the party that Chris was running. He was a pleasure to work with and closely collaborated with us to make sure that the playlist of our wedding night was exactly how we wanted it. He kept things on schedule, interacted with the guests, and really just kept the party going all night long. He even fulfilled our special request to wear that fresh ass burgundy suit. Though the wife was blacked out, I was pretty drunk myself and I have to do a lot of remembering by way of videos that our guests recorded throughout the night. Every one I've watched has a dance floor jam packed with amateur Filipino dancers. Even Chris himself was out there a few times. Chris, sorry if Jordan and I (and Jordan's mom, lol) made things hard on you. You were and are awesome! read more

Chris Chan was our DJ + MC for the night and we were impressed by his professionalism, adaptability, and experience. He was able to adapt to new announcements and requests on our very hectic wedding day with no hand-holding or forewarning. He made several important decisions on-the-fly using his best professional judgment to keep a majority of our guests on the dance floor and we could trust that he knew what to say and how to say it when we needed it. He was even able to set up our private dance which we threw together at the last moment with some spare time before the grand entrance. As an inexperienced couple looking through tens of DJ + MC packages, it is very difficult to distinguish one DJ + MC from another based on a few clips but I am glad we chose Chris as our DJ + MC. Guests praised Chris' attitude and approach. We didn't hear a single bad thing about him. Given my family, it is very difficult to keep the dance floor alive but Chris managed to do it without asking us how. As far as I'm concerned, hiring Chris is a good choice to check off the DJ + MC selection and know you're in good hands. Weddings are stressful and things go wrong so knowing that you have a good DJ + MC will be worth it so that you can focus on the other fires. read more

Chris was an amazing DJ & Emcee! From our first zoom meeting and leading up to our wedding day, he was easy to talk to, is organized regarding the timelines, and accomodating to our requests. He hosted our wedding reception last November 3rd and played great music as well as played several songs ranging from jazz/RnB to Filipino dance music. He even got our 89 year old grandma dance to Turn Down for What! The games we played along with the entertaining music and Chris' humor made everything more fun. Our guests also let us know that they had a great time. read more

We chose Chris as our DJ, which was easily one of the BEST wedding decisions we made. When we were listening to sample mixes of several DJs, my husband immediately jumped off the couch when he recognized a Mandarin pop song that Chris had seamlessly mixed in, and that's when we knew Chris was the one. He did such a great job with our many announcements, hosting our trivia, cueing the right music, mixing songs, and effortlessly transitioning into a karaoke night. So many guests told us that our DJ was really good, both in terms of emceeing and mixing music. One bridesmaid mentioned that Chris kept the perfect balance between being personable and professional -- "It felt like he could've been your friend. He had a great announcer voice and made things fun, but never to the point where he was stealing your spotlight." Thank you Chris for making our wedding the best day!! read more

Chris did an amazing job for our wedding! I highly recommend him. We didn't have a wedding coordinator and he we was able to make it work! All of our guests loved him too! Chris took the time to walk us through our timeline and gave super helpful suggestions too. When an issue arose (not because of Chris's doing, but unforeseen ones due to nature of weddings), Chris was able to address calmly and professionally. I wouldn't think twice and book him immediately before he is taken for your special day! read more

Chris did above and beyond at our wedding. He was amazing!! I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a solid DJ that wants to keep on schedule and keep the crowd entertained. He did both our ceremony and reception, and had a superb performance at both. During the ceremony, all the songs were played on cue and there were no awkward transitions. Overall, the ceremony went very smoothly. As for our reception, he dismissed the tables for our buffet line in a very timely manner, and even played the "hunger games" where he played songs and each table had to make up a fun chant and raise their hand to guess the name of the song! It was so much fun! He also made the last two runner ups rock paper scissors on the dance floor with some dramatic music - it made us laugh so much. Throughout the booking process, he also met up with us a couple weeks before the wedding and created the wedding timeline to make it easier for our coordinator. Overall, we love Chris!!! I am going to recommend him to all of my friends. Ty ty ty so much Chris - you are truly the best !!!! read more

Chris was an AMAZING DJ and MC for our wedding! Not only did my husband and I love him, our guests did too. So many of our guests asked us about him and wanted his info for their upcoming weddings. Chris is fun, energetic, yet still professional. He was extremely helpful in selecting music, giving us music ideas, and setting up a timeline. There are those that DJ because it's their job, but with Chris, you can tell he really loves what he does. There's just this energy about him. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone looking for a DJ/MC. His rates are beyond reasonable and with the level of care, service, professionalism, and just overall level of fun and energy, it really doesn't get any better than this. Thanks Chris for making our wedding such a great event! read more

A girlfriend of mine recommended Chris to me after he DJ/MC'd her wedding because he did such a wonderful job. Im so glad she introduced me to him, because Chris also did an awesome job as MC/DJ at my wedding last August! He's very organized, has great charisma and humor, that he entertained my guests effortlessly for 6 hours. Chris brought this extra energy and fun to our wedding, cheering up a group of young and older asians (not easy with a conservative bunch). It was a plus that he also able to speak mandarin and understood our taste in music. My husband and i are extra OCD and i couldnt have asked for a better MC that was able to juggle all of our requests. There were some drunk guests that participated in one of our games and babbled on, and Chris was able to gently reel him in and get the festivities back on schedule. He's super easy to work with, reasonably priced, and made great effort to make our wedding day stressless. The first to arrive and last to leave, chris is very hard working and has good work ethic. I've gotten so many compliments from my guests about Chris from our wedding. Would definitely reccomend him to DJ/MC your next special event! read more

I had the pleasure of having Chris as the DJ of my wedding. Weddings can be stressful, expecialy trying to make sure everyone is having fun and things are staying to a timeline. After meeting with Chris to go through a full timeline and how we want the wedding day to go, I felt so much more at ease. Chris has done houndreds of these so he was a wealth of knowledge. The one big thing that surprised me is how Chris is much more than a DJ, I would say he is more of an MC. He was constantly engaged with our wedding guests and made games up to get people out on to the dance floor. He is just so natural in front of a large group of people. A great example of how well he has things figured out is when the guy caught the guarder he played a little NFL music clip. It's just all of these little things (there are so many more great examples also). There wasn't a person sitting down after dinner, everyone was on the dance floor. Yet, he still kept everything moving on time perfectly, making sure everything happened when it needed, to like toasts and speeches. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough, and my 200 wedding guests would agree. read more

Chris did an amazing job for our wedding last weekend. The process from start to finish - from initially getting a quote from Chris to working together and figuring out the wedding day agenda and music and to finally the actual wedding wedding day - Chris was awesome throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ/MC. Chris not only did a great job DJ'ing to awesome music - great mix of 90s R&B and more contemporary pop - but also worked relentlessly with my wife and I to make sure that everything on our wedding day went smoothly and according to plan. I highly recommend Chris for anyone that's looking for a DJ/MC for their wedding. read more

This review is long overdue. We hired Chris for our wedding in March of 2018 Chris was great to work with and very accommodating. Here are a few highlights: - Has all of his own equipment - Planning meetings ahead of your event - Works with your coordinator/planner to ensure timelines are met - Great music taste and knows how to get the crowd dancing without relying on cheesy wedding songs A huge bonus for us was how comfortable Chris was as an MC. Unlike most Asian weddings, we elected to not hire an MC. Chris did an excellent job of helping with announcements, introductions, and just setting a fun atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Chris for your next big event! read more

Chris did an amazing job at our wedding! He was very easy to communicate with via phone and email leading up to our wedding. I appreciate the fact that Chris took the time to get to know us before the wedding so that we were comfortable with the song selections. He was also very responsive to our wedding coordinator to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Our friends and guests also had only great things to share about Chris. read more

I have been coordinating events since 2011 and by far, Chris has been my FAVORITE DJ/Emcee to work with! You can always count on him to be prepared, to know what he's doing and to keep the party going! He knows how to get people excited about your day and he never fails to ensure your special event is amazing & unforgettable. From corporate events, to weddings to debutante parties, he can do it all and you can trust that he's got the skills to do it. One of my last events with him was my own cousin's debut and it had a lot of moving pieces. But of course, he took time to really get to know the event. He made sure he knew what my cousin wanted for her party and ensured that musically, everything was personalized to her liking. There were also multiple speeches, multiple dance performances, surprises and being that it was a Filipino party, there were a lot of last minute changes - Chris was able to work with it and pull through without anyone noticing the changes - like I said, he knows what he's doing :) As much as coordinators are there to ensure a successful execution of an event, we can't do it without a good DJ/Emcee who is on the front line of the party getting it rolling. So I always advise people to make sure to invest on a really good one. And I can confidently say hiring Chris is one of the best decisions you can make - if you want to have a successful & fun event! read more

Chris is an absolute amazing DJ and MC. I have seen his work in our multiple family formal gatherings and have always enjoy the music entertainment he brings to the occasion. When it was finally my wedding, I did not think twice to hire him. And as always, he did great ! I definitely recommend him. Very easy going and professional at the same time. Would definitely not hesitate to hire him again ! :) read more

I've used DJ Zi entertainment for a corporate Christmas party and, most recently for my own wedding. Chris did a fantastic job with the Christmas party--he is attentive and aware and really reads the room. The music was mellow when people were trying to chat, and after everyone let loose a bit, he increased the tempo and got everyone excited. This experience led me to choose him for my wedding. My wife and I met with Chris several months before the wedding where we shared playlists and our thoughts on the vibe we wanted. Chris has a broad range, from playing my favorite 70s, 80s and 90s on the dance floor to cranking the hip hop at the after party. In addition to his DJ skills, he is punctual and on top of everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing--he worked with the wedding coordinator, and even the night before when I told him to add an appropriate song for the walk down the aisle (and didn't have one picked out for him), he made a great selection and everything played perfectly throughout the ceremony. Also, we were at an outdoor venue with a wall on one side and an open view on the other and 200 guests, and he had the volume perfectly adjusted from the start. No one found it deafening, and everyone could hear clearly. My wedding could not have gone more perfectly, and Chris was amazing. I highly recommend him for any event, whether it's an 80-person Christmas party, a 230-person wedding with three separate locations that he needs to move in between, or an all night dance party for 50 of your closest buds. read more

Chris's music at my buddy's wedding up in Los Olivos was fantastic! He had a great selection that wasn't limited to the same 25 songs you're going to hear every weekend for the next eight weeks of wedding season, but hit enough classics to make it, well, classic! 10/10! read more

Chris did an AMAZING job at our wedding! He was professional, helpful, and affordable. He requested a meeting with us prior to our event to get to know us more and discuss our likes and dislikes. We really lucked out in that we're around the same age and grew up listening to the same music so we quickly clicked and didn't even have to go into a lot of detail. He knew exactly what we wanted and did a great job reading the crowd and getting people on the dance floor. Chris is also just a genuinely good performer. It comes so naturally to him and never felt forced. Overall he did a fantastic job and we are so lucky to have had him at our wedding. read more

I attended a wedding he DJed and it was awesome! I didn't have a complaint all night. Great music and great fun!

You know you have a great DJ when you don't realize it until after the party - because you're so busy having a great time dancing to the music! DJ Zi was great! read more

Played at my friend's wedding. Excellent beats, seamless switches between funky grooves. From what I could tell, all ages had fun.

Chris was the DJ for my buddies wedding. He did an awesome job. In addition to He really knows how to work a crowd and keep the dance floor moving. read more

Chris was a DJ at one of my friends wedding and did a phenomenal job! He did a great job of reading the crowd and making sure everyone was having a great time. I would definitely recommend him for any event. read more

Chris was our DJ for our wedding a month or so ago and he was AMAZING. A friend saw Chris DJ at another wedding and recommended him to us, saying that he was one of the best DJs he's seen at a wedding, so we went with the recommendation and went with Chris. First of all, Chris was extremely professional. He met with us multiple times before our wedding to help us with our set up, playlist and timeline. And every time, he offered to drive all the way down to Irvine. He was extremely easy to worth it and could tell was putting a lot of effort into our wedding. As for the wedding day, it was so fun! Many guests even came to us after and told us we had one of the most fun weddings they've been to. He was able to get people on the dance floor, which I was initially nervous about since I had a lot of guests who I thought wouldn't dance. As MC, he made sure everything was on schedule. The transitions, music, everything was super on point. If I had another huge event again, I will definitely hire Chris again! And will also be recommending him to all of our friends getting married. :) read more

Chris was a fantastic DJ for our wedding! The first time meeting Chris was actually at my sister's wedding. He was their DJ. After seeing him in action, I knew he was the one for us. He has great energy and knows how to keep the crowd entertained every single moment of the night. He had fun games for the dinner portion of the night and always had something going on to prevent any dull, awkward moments. He is very good at timing everything out perfectly and keeps the wedding party on pace, even if we didn't know what was going on. He listened to what songs we requested and executed perfectly. Our guests were blown away by him and asked us how we found such a great DJ. He was very professional from the first meeting and up until the very end of the night. He was very easy to work with and I would definitely refer him for other weddings. Overall, he did a great job and we were very pleased with him. read more

Let me go off first and tell you that Chris is absolutely AMAZING. He really brought our whole wedding together. I honestly feel like our wedding would have fallen apart without him. Not only is he a great DJ, he practically helped keep everything on schedule for the entire wedding. We first met up with him at a coffee shop. He was extremely detailed oriented and helped us make decisions for music. We gave him a few songs for the overall style of music we wanted for the reception , and all the music he played was spot on !! He helped us choose games to keep the wedding fun and kept everything organized throughout. He's a great host and you can really tell that he is passionate about what he does. He was having fun just as we much as we were. The atmosphere that he created was so joyous and exciting. Our photographers left early and we did not have anyone to film or photograph the sparkler send off.... but you know what ? Chris said "don't worry, I'll get it for you guys". He went out of his way and took a video and had it sent to us . We also requested to have some translations in Mandarin and he was so kind to do so. I am really thankful that I booked Chris . The most compliments I got for my wedding , was the DJ. I highly recommend him for any weddings or events . read more

Chris was the DJ and MC for my wedding last January and he did an amazing job! He really helped us to focus the whole reception on entertaining and recognizing my family and friends just like we wanted. He kept the whole night light and fun! read more

I saw Chris at my best friend's wedding and I knew then that I wanted him to DJ and MC my own wedding this past May. Preparation for the wedding was easy and fun. He really has everything covered and his detailed approach from the entertainment perspective left me with nothing to worry about. On the day of, he was great. I told him we wanted a 90's hip hop / R&B wedding and he was down with it with great jams from the ceremony to the reception. He's a professional and you can really tell he loves being able to entertain. Everyone had a blast and asked me about info about Chris for their own parties they're throwing. Look no further guys, hit him up right away. read more

Just went to a wedding with them as the band. This group killed it. Funky and fun. Super unique. Some covers some originals. Like a jam band. They had everyone on the dance floor. Really enjoyed it. read more

While planning our wedding, my husband remembered Chris from a year prior when he saw him DJ at a friend's wedding. We've been to A LOT of weddings so for Chris to stand out among the crowd of DJs we've seen means a lot. From the start, Chris was very professional and helped make our reception planning so easy. We self coordinated up to the wedding day so his organization and knowledge of reception timing was crucial to our planning. He basically set up our reception timeline for us because he knew exactly how long each event will probably take. We wanted a "rated PG" version of songs so (being a former Disney DJ), he accommodated our request while choosing fun songs that had all our guests on the dance floor, including a coordinated dance routine that he taught. We have some great shots of myself, my husband, my mom, and a full dance floor dancing to Thriller, it was so much fun! He engaged the crowd, kept the atmosphere light and entertaining, and filled in the gaps of waiting for food and such seamlessly. We had multiple people approach us about Chris and since our wedding in December, several of our friends have already booked him for their weddings. I sincerely could not have asked for a better DJ/MC. I highly recommend Chris, you won't regret it! read more
