We just worked with Curtis and his team for the second year in a row of our SF Food Action Summit and we cannot sing their praises enough. Curtis and his team are patient, understanding, professional, and capable of making ANYTHING happen! Our summit occurs over 2 full days of breakout sessions and keynote speakers in 3 different rooms. They provided A/V support in each room + recorded each session. This year, we added a massive touchscreen TV which hosted an interactive activity of mapping SF networks (shout out Paul!) and a DJ (shout out James!), which elevated our entire event. Can't recommend this team enough! Hire them!! read more

Curtis recently DJ'd our wedding in Winters. His music was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! We got so many compliments about having the best wedding music. The dance floor was full all night long. I really like how Curtis incorporated our song requests in with popular music, and appropriately timed music for different times of the wedding (slower for dinner, etc). He is super easy to reach by text or phone, which is helpful! read more

If you are looking for a Dj or emcee for your event you literally do not need to look any further! Curtis was AMAZING! He was extremely communicative with all of our interactions, responded to all of my questions and acknowledged every detail. We communicated regularly for about 10 months leading up to our event which by the way, was amazing! Curtis and his assistant were calm and professional the entire time, did everything that I asked of them and regularly checked in with us to make sure our needs were met. The music and mixes were spot on, our guests LOVED the music that night and our feet all hurt the next day because we went so hard. Seriously, stop looking, Curtis is your DJ! read more

I'd highly recommend working with Curtis and Groove Teknicians for all of your wedding lighting needs! We worked with Curtis and his team for our wedding in San Francisco. He helped us hang string lights and paper lanterns on the ceiling and added uplights in the venue. Additionally, he coordinated the pickup and drop off of the scissor lift with our venue directly and stuck around to make sure the lights were working well prior to the reception. Curtis was an amazing vendor to work with! He was communicative, proactive, and responsive to any questions I had. The whole thing turned out absolutely BEAUTIFULLY -- we can't thank Curtis and his team at Groove Tek enough! read more

Who tried to get married in 2020 and then couldn't because of covid? Me. Yay... not. Luckily, we had Curtis to make things go smoothly. We booked GrooveTek in 2020 but because things couldn't proceed further, we pushed our wedding and got married in South SF in 2023. Curtis couldn't have made the process any easier. We used GrooveTek for the following services, and each one exceeded our expectations: DJ, MC, and photobooth. His quote was very reasonable considering how expensive vendors have gotten since after the pandemic. Curtis was the main point of contact, he was also the DJ. I sent him my playlist, my photobooth preferences, and MC timeline and he took care of the rest. If you don't have a playlist, no worries! He has all the best recommendations. James, the MC was also fantastic. They were very flexible and worked with all my requests. I couldn't have asked for a better team to make my special day so wonderful! read more

We couldn't be happier with our photobooth from Groove Teknicians! We had our wedding in Roseville on a Friday, so I was a little nervous about our vendors hitting traffic, especially since this company is based in Fairfield. Our attendant came extra early and was set up before we knew it. The photobooth was an absolute hit, and Curtis worked with us beforehand to design our photo strip exactly how we wanted it. The props were fun, the attendant let us retake photos when the camera went off before we were ready, and guests loved that they got to keep both the printed photostrip as well as a digital copy to their email. I can't recommened Groove Teknicians enough. read more

We had Groove Teknicians for our wedding and I would recommend them to all of my friends. They were one of the easier vendors I had. We got the DJ + photobooth package and it was a perfect added piece to our wedding. Photobooth rental was amazing. Curtis also was perfect at responding to all my questions and making sure that everything went smooth. read more

Rented the Groove Booth from GrooveTek last weekend for my Son's 18th Birthday Party/High School Graduation party. Curtis was ah-mazing! Couldn't have asked for a better experience, he was super flexible with our schedule, the equipment was top notch, SUPER fun props! Everyone had a wonderful time! Cannot recommend enough!! read more

Hired Curtis sort of last minute for a photo booth for our wedding and he was great! The pictures turned out awesome and we got them super fast. Service level was also excellent and great pricing as well. Highly recommend if you need them for a wedding or dj or lighting or all of the above! read more

10 out of 10, would definitely recommend!! My husband and I partnered with Groove Teknicians for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with Curtis and his team. Specifically, we used them for (i) DJ, (ii) photo booth, and (iii) uplighting. It put us at ease that a vendor we trusted would be handling many critical areas for us - Curtis was always quick to respond over email, and even after a venue change he was willing to go the extra mile to ensure that he was prepared for our event (we did a video call and went over the diagrams in detail). We even made a last-minute ask of Curtis to move the photo booth DURING the event, and he accommodated without issue. Thank you, Curtis! read more

Curtis was our DJ for my aunts wedding. I was the event coordinator and was working with him closely. He was so professional, kind, and his skills were exceptional!! It was a pleasure working with him and his team. At one point during the bridal party procession, the song ended for a second while they were still walking(due to the unforeseen speed of their walking) . Curtis didn't skip a beat, and looped the song so it sounded seamless. His remixes for the songs at the reception got everyone hyped, it was an overall good experience!! read more

Groove Teknicians provided DJ, emcee, and photo booth services for our wedding. Curtis was super easy to work with and answered all our detailed questions ahead of time. The guests loved the dance floor songs -- someone even marveled to me that it was mixed so well that the whole night all sounded like one long song! The guests had a lot of fun in the photo booth too. There were tons of fun props (my favorite was the sign that said "I woke up like this," since clearly, I had spent hours on hair and makeup all morning), and they could email and print out the pics on the spot. It was also really nice having the emcee announce everything so we knew exactly where to be, and could just focus on enjoying the day without having to worry about the timeline at all. read more

Curtis was amazing and brought a photo booth attendant, MC, and his smile. He really made our wedding night; I'd highly recommend Groove Technicians to anyone looking to have a fantastic wedding! read more

We were to celebrate our daughter's 18th debut and desperately searching for an affordable D.J.. My daughter and I called several D.J. within our area but the prices of $1200 or more were just out of my budget. When I was about to give in and accept the lowest of $1200 for a 4hr debut, my daughter reached out to Groove Tek and left a message to return our call. Groove Tek. , Curtis called back and we spoke detailing the debut and hours and what will just consist of. Curtis was very professional over the phone and sent me a list of his package deal. The entry-level package deal was the package that we went with. Curtis came on site that day, worked his D.J. skills and everyone at the party had a great time. My other relatives also asked Curtis for his business card for future party events. Thank You Curtis. read more

Our parent group has used Groove Teknicians for both their photobooth service and mobile dj service at the elementary school. The students and staff love them. We held our family dance which was a Glow Theme and the lighting they provided gave the multipurpose/cafeteria room a different aura and vibe to everyone. Families danced together and the elementary and middle students came together in the spirit of dancing to everything Curtis played. When the music stopped, everyone clapped... We will definitely bring them back again for our next school function! read more

Groove Teknicians - DJs Near Me

If you're looking for a DJ for any special event, hire GROOVE TEKNICIANS! You will not be disappointed! My husband found Groove Teknicians through yelp, and we hired Curtis for our wedding on 8/27/16. When he asked Curtis for a quote, he replied instantly. We had never hired a DJ before so we really had no idea what we were looking for. Luckily Curtis did. He sent us a very detailed list of suggestions, popular songs, and do's and dont's. He even met us half way so we could meet in person and talk about our wedding! He was super friendly and very professional. We also inquired about a photobooth which Curtis also offers. Curtis' price for the photobooth was actually cheaper than most booths yet he has better quality. The prints were perfect, fast and with an option to have it emailed to yourself! The booth had tons of legit props, not like those dinky kinds you see that have been worn out. I also needed an MC, and at first I was worried because I had not met the MC and did not know what to expect. Well Curtis batted a homerun with all of his staff because the MC was the best I've seen! He was funny, professional and very on task with our itinerary. Ok lets get back to Curtis the DJ! Two words, "Constant Dancing!" The dance floor was busy all night. One of our biggest worries was having an empty dance floor but Curtis played great dance music as well as accommodating our songs that we requested. Honestly the most professional yet down to earth staff I have worked with. So especially if you're getting married, hire Curtis with Groove Technicians! All my friends could not stop talking about how fun the dance floor was. I wish I could give him and his staff 10 stars! Will definitely recommend my friends who are getting married next year to book them! Thanks again Curtis and your staff! read more

Curtis is fantastic! He was very reasonable and worked with our needs. He never once bugged us for payment and he was early to the venue setting up. He played a couple songs and once he found out what the crowd at our wedding liked, he got the dance floor moving. Highly recommended! read more

After interviewing several DJs, we decided to hire Groove Teknicians for our wedding last year in November. Other DJ's were not experienced, unprofessional, extremely expensive and quite corny. We couldn't be happier with our decision on hiring Groove Teknicians!!! We were also blessed to have Curtis as our DJ! From the beginning he was professional and really listened to what we wanted. Everything turned out PERFECT!!! They were able to MC, play the BEST MUSIC, BEAUTIFUL MONOGRAM AND UPLIGHTING!!! My sister's also surprised me with a special speech that incorporated the DJ. Curtis was on point and made our day extra special! I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married or having a party. They are extremely experienced and awesome! Many Many THANKS CURTIS!!!! read more

This is the 2nd time I had Groove Teknicians at my party! These guys are great! Hired them to DJ as well as provide a photo booth for my daughters grad party!! Curtis was awesome..worked with him before the event to get the music and look that we wanted down! Everything was perfect...Curtis did uplighting which made the room look amazing! Highly recommend this everyone!! Photo booth was a big hit, cool props, got as many copies on the spot and emailed to us! Pictures were clear and quality paper!! My recommendation book here always!! Professional, prompt, friendly, and even played a little longer for those guests who needed more dancing!! ~Thanks guys!! read more

My husband and I used Groove Teknicians for our wedding reception. We had met up with Curtis a few months before our event and basically gave him a run down of what kind of music we liked and a small list of our favorite songs and that at our event we wanted people to have fun and dance. They played EXACTLY what we requested. My guests raved about the music and that they had a blast dancing. These guys are very friendly and work with you to make your event special. I recommend Groove Teknicians for your event! read more

Curtis is your man! His professionalism and skill level is top notch! I really enjoy working with him. He definitely deserves top mark. We work with him twice a year and he has not let us down. He's punctual and enjoys his job very much. He would go out of his way to solve issues and is overall a wonderful person to work with. Thank you so much, Curtis!!!! read more

I recently attended a wedding, in South SF, where GrooveTek did an excellent job on uplighting, sound system, event MC, and photo booth. They are super professional and all around nice people, who know how to make your event shine beautifully. The lighting and sound gear they used was awesome, and their DJ/MC skills are great, making the wedding celebration flow without a glitch. If your event needs pro-quality lighting, sound and/or photo booth, I recommend checking out Groove Teknicians. read more

Having GrooveTeknicians DJ, MC & provide a Photobooth at our wedding was the best decision we ever made! Curtis was our point of contact and DJ. I can't say enough great things about him, he was truly such a pleasure to work with and always made me feel calm and assured that everything will work out and be okay on our special day. We had such a wide variety of music, being from two different cultures and loving such different genres of music and like a true professional, he made it mix and blend in so well. We had Curtis for our entire wedding day, playing music at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was perfect! We have gotten so many compliments about our music and how it was always exciting and fun because it was so different. We still get compliments on how Curtis was an amazing DJ and how he was always smiling when they looked over at the DJ table. Working with him from the beginning was truly a pleasure, I will recommend him to any and everyone. He was always easy to get ahold of and so responsive. His personality is calm, collected and assuring. all our requests were being heard and on our wedding day every request we made was executed perfectly. We met the MC the day of the wedding, but he did a great job at hyping the crowd and keeping things fun. It's truly so essential to have one and I didn't even realize this, so I'm grateful Curtis recommended him coming. The photobooth was so fun and exactly what I envisioned, he made the design process so easy in the midst of all the other planning I had to do, I never once felt overwhelmed by Curtis or GrooveTek. They are true professionals who come on your special day and do the job right. As a bride, that day was a whirlwind. But all I know is that it was the most perfect day, everything turned out perfectly, my husband and I had so much fun and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. we know this is all made possible because of amazing vendors like GrooveTeknicians. Thank you so so much! read more

My wife and I chose Groove Teknicians for our wedding August 18 in Walnut Creek. Curtis DJ'd while Nick was our MC. Before the wedding Curtis and I were in constant email communication about song choices and timelines. We had a meeting about two weeks before the wedding to finalize everything. The day of, Nick did a great job keeping our reception on track so my wife and I didn't have to worry about when to do the bouquet toss or when to cut cake, things like that. He was fun and kept the guest entertained. Curtis played a really good selection of music throughout dinner. It was fun and relaxing and as the night progressed he moved to music that got everyone dancing. They were an incredibly professional team and I would highly recommend them. read more

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! 20 stars if I could. Curtis was personally responsible for making our wedding reception a raging success. 1) SUPER TALENTED - great ear, great sense of the crowd. He knew exactly what to play and when. I totally (accidentally) threw him under the bus and after we gave an impromptu speech, turned to him and said "hey pick a song and start us off dancing" - complete jerk move on my part since I gave him literally NO notice and no direction. But wow. Did he deliver - playing Hollywood (original Kool and the gang version) which he smoothly transitioned into the Mase/Diddy version (one of my favorites). It was PERFECT. And totally on the fly. Every single guest was amazed at how good he was/complimented him (including one who is a (retired) DJ - super impressed). I think the true measure is that it's now Monday, the party was Saturday and my husband's feet still hurt. AWESOME. 2) ORGANIZED/ON POINT. I had 1 conversation and a couple of email exchanges with Curtis. And because of other details occupying my brain just let this one go. Curtis took care of everything. He handled planning, lighting, and setup beautifully - coordinating with the venue without need for my intervention. It was really fantastic to have a vendor who needed basically no guidance and executed perfectly (such a rare thing). 3) NICE GUY. Chill, laid back-seeming. He just makes you feel comfortable in a "i got this" kind of way. He's great. I never write reviews - but Curtis is worth it. He made the night. THANK YOU :) read more

Curtis DJ'd our wedding back in September 2016 and I'm still referring him out to friends and family. He did a phenomenal job setting the party atmosphere and made everything easy. He played every song requested and the dancing did not stop the whole evening. He was so accommodating, friendly, and wonderful to work with. My wife and I still talk about what a wonderful job he did. Groove Teknicians exceed expectations in every way! read more

I must say that Curtis at Groove teknicians is amazing! We had the best party that anyone could ask for because of Curtis and his awesome music and photo booth! read more

Just had a party and Groove Tek did our photo booth! Their service was great. I called a lot of places and some never responded, Curtis answered his phone and gave me great advice if I was comparing other places. So of course he was my choice. Everything was perfect! His level of service was extraordinary throughout. read more

After meeting with several DJ's for our wedding, we decided on Groove Teknicians and couldn't be happier! From beginning to end they were very responsive and professional with assisting us with our reception itinerary and music suggestions. The night went perfect! They played exactly the kind of music we wanted and mixed in all our playlist favorites. We also went with a package that included color Up-Lights for the reception hall (glad we did because our venue was charging A LOT more). It was a fun night for everyone. The dance floor was packed the whole night, so we actually extended the reception from 11pm to midnight. Our friends and family loved the music and we got sooo many compliments on the DJ. Groove Teknicians did an excellent job and we're glad we went with them. read more

Curtis was awesome!!!! From the get go, he was easy to communicate with. After our first few emails and phone call, I knew he would take care of us. Our custom photo booth printed strip was amazing! We have received so many compliments on them. The dance floor was on fire all night and his MC did an awesome job of keeping us flowing through the activities we had planned for the night! Thank you for helping make our wedding a night we wont forget!! read more

My sister and her husband used Curtis as their DJ. He was fantastic! I was the maid of honor and wanted to surprise my sister with her favorite boy band lyrics into my speech. I sent him my speech with what I wanted the day before the wedding and he got the music lyrics cued up perfectly for the speech! Besides his help with my speech, the music he played during the wedding was great! He played the type of music my sister and her husband asked for. I highly recommend using Groove Teknicians! read more

Curtis is awesome! Groove Teknicians was hired for our wedding as the DJ and for the photo booth. They are great and Curtis was willing to work with us with every detail. He even ordered a back curtain for the photo booth a couple days before our wedding without any hesitation. Groove Teknicians is a guarantee for reliability and you would not be disappointed by hiring them. Even at the venue he was willing to work with us to adjust minor details. He made sure that all the equipment was working properly without issue. *****I would Highly recommend******** read more

My husband and I hired Curtis for our wedding June. He was incredibly responsive from the beginning and sounded amazing during the initial phone conversation. We had spoken to a few other DJs prior to him and didn't get the right "feel". One thing that we immediately loved about Curtis was that he was very upfront with us. He explained that being an MC was not his forte, so he would bring someone along to perform that portion. We loved his honesty and his recognition of his talents. We met with him in person at the venue several months before our event. He helped us choose the best place for setup for him to effectively see and manage the party as the venue had a different layout. We decided on some uplighting under his guidance which looked amazing on the day and provided a perfect photo-op! He reviewed with us our taste in music and what we were looking for on our day. We sent him a list of requested songs and he took that and ran with it! On the day, he and the MC arrived with plenty of time to set up and become acquainted with the venue and staff. We had made some changes since the last time we met and he was very agreeable and adaptable! The music throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception was spot on and everybody loved it! We ran a bit behind schedule on the day (as often happens) and he was again able to adapt to changes flawlessly! At the end of the night, we stayed and chatted with him a bit and made sure to get a few pictures with him. Curtis is very experienced, personable, and professional and was integral to making our day a huge success!! read more

The photo booth was a hit at my graduation party. Everyone loved the quality of the photos. The props were fun and amazing. The price was great for what I wanted.

We found Curtis of Groove Teknicians though a friend and hired him as our wedding DJ/MC. It was pretty close to our wedding date by the time we found him (1 month away), but Curtis was very accommodating. He spent time with us to go over what kind of music we liked in general and what type of music we wanted for each part of the wedding. We provided him a general list of songs we liked and left the rest up to him. The wedding turned out amazing. The MC that Curtis brought was extremely good and the music was great all night long. The music went according to plan throughout the day without any hiccups all the way from the ceremony to our first dance. We even had several friends come up to us and tell us they loved the music and it was the best mix of music they have heard at a wedding. My wife and I had a great experience with Curtis and would highly recommend him if you are in need of DJ services. read more

Curtis is amazing! We just had him at our daughters' birthday party, and provided us with excellent Photo Booth service. He has reasonable prices, and works with you to fullfill your needs. I also have to mention that he has excellent customer service! read more

Curtis was the DJ for my brother's wedding and he did a great job! Super responsive and easy to work with and he came up with a great playlist that was multi-generational and still a lot of fun. The bride and groom actually had a minor household emergency and had to leave the party early and he was really cool about wrapping things up earlier than planned. Highly recommended! read more
