He took the time to meet with us well before our wedding date to understand what was important to each of us, and provided feedback about what worked best with space and time, number of guests, etc. He was super intentional about sending us a detailed itinerary prior to our wedding day and was very organized and professional, but not pretentious, throughout our entire experience with him. The day of our wedding, he was right on time and fit in like he was part of the family. We had tons of compliments about how great he was, and he even sent us an email the following day with pictures he'd taken on his own, from his unique perspective! We highly recommend Chris!

Review for: Matt Cohen, Disc Jockey - Sacramento Area…read more Very reasonable rates! It's a rare thing to hear one Disc Jockey veteran giving a positive review to another DJ (and not expecting to receive a kick-back or booking commission of any kind!). However, since I have permanently taken myself out of the entire DJ booking scene after 38 years of performing, I feel compelled to steer all my old clients to another long-time term and established DJ professional from the Sacramento area: Matt Cohen. Whether it might be a wedding, private home party, or company party or picnic, I've long been aware of Matt's company (known as DJ - MC) in performing all of these type of events. When you've been around as long as his company has, you are bound to leave behind you, a trail of opinions and critics, and I can personally vouch for Matt in that regard. Several times over the years, I had to book overflow bookings with outside talent, and on those occasions, I used the DJ's from DJ - MC. My clients always had good, positive comments from to say about the overall talent, reliability and the likeable personality of Matt. For anyone living within a hundred miles of the Sacramento area, I believe Matt to be one of the only remaining DJ companies that PROVIDES A FAIRLY PRICED DJ service.

I plan our company Holiday Party and while I love doing it...I stress myself out because that is…read morejust Who I Am. That, and that the year prior I'd gotten a few not so positive comments about it so this year I wanted everything to be great. We held it at The Firehouse (whole other review) and it consists of many-many cocktails, dinner, fun speeches, and a gift game of some kind then more drinks. Our DJ last year suuuuuuucked. So I went searching. I turned to Yelp because Yelp does not steer me wrong. Let me tell ya'...Matt kicked ass last night! He's a true professional. He mixed great holiday classics new and old with a perfectly sophisticated pallet of modern tunes (this is coming from a bit of a music snob.) Plus, his timing was impeccable and he was on top of rounding people up to eat. He just set a really great mood for the party. And he's a hell of a nice guy. The room we were in at The Firehouse is somewhat challenging and he did his best to compensate for that. After the dinner and drinks and gifts when things started to get rolling he was happy to stay and keep playing; I get the sense that's what he really enjoys, getting people *into* the party. By that time my Shoes of Torture were killing me and my stressed out self was exhausted, but Matt smiled and said, "if it's OK I'm going to keep playing 'til they kick us out of here." And I believe he did. My coworkers were dancing and having a great time and I was able to sneak out to go and put my tired-tired feet up at home. And this isn't just from me...several coworkers commented on "where did you get this guy, he's great!" You rock Matt!

Andy is that guy who DJs parties people still talk about years later. I hired him to DJ my dad's…read moresurprise 50th birthday party at Tokyo Fros. We rented the whole restaurant out and invited all our closet friends. Since motown was the genre they all grew up on, Andy knew exactly what to play from beginning to end. The second my Dad walked in, everyone greeted him with a huge "SURPRISE!!!" and then Andy dropped the "You're still a young man" by Tower of Power. His timing was perfect and definitely set the tone for one of the most epic nights I've ever experienced. It's pretty obvious the wide range of music Andy is familiar which is why he's such a solid DJ. If you're just looking for some background music, then stick with pandora. But If you're looking for THAT kind of party, let him take care of the DJing and I promise you won't be disappointed.

I was so lucky to have found DJ Vince when planning my wedding. He was incredibly helpful, really…read moretook time to see what was important for me and the big day, and was very detailed and thoughtful. He was very professional and all around was the best person to work with. He made all the transitions during my wedding very smooth, worked so well with my family and officiant, and helped us figure out all the little details I never even though about. It was very comforting when our venue and photographer mentioned that they have worked with Vince previously and all had very great things to say about him. His planning process and music app was incredibly helpful and easy to follow so I could tial down my music list and reception timeline. He helped keep me on track during planning by periodically checking in with me and offering great suggestions to make the day fun. I highly recommend DJ Vince to anyone looking for an amazing dj. Before the ceremony, he worked with me to figure out the best way to make the processional go as smoothly as possible. He was able to get his equipment setup so quickly and he helped us keep on schedule through the whole night. It's the little things he did throughout the day that stands out the most likely holding the microphone for my fiance's ( now husband!) mom due to her arthritis.

I could not stop laughing! That's not to say that the performers weren't musically talented, I was…read morejust thoroughly entertained by their antics both on the stage and as they made their way through the crowd during the show, at the California State Fair. They drummed along and put on their best (and goofiest) dance moves to songs like Wipe Out, Blinding Lights, I Gotta Feeling, Uptown Funk, Can't Stop the Music, Party Rock, and Who Let the Dogs Out. They also played the shakers and galloped through the audience on stick horses. No talking necessary, their actions and music was all they needed to show guests a good time. The performers even let kids play the drums on stage at one point, and opened up the "dance floor", inviting audience members to come out and dance as they blew bubbles in the air with bubble machine guns. Honestly, I think I had more fun than the kids in the crowd, easily my favorite part of my recent visit to the fair. It's certainly enjoyable for all ages even though it looks silly at first. The drumheads put on a great show (several times per day), both as musicians and entertainers.

Nathan composed two original songs for our processional, each an instrumental translation of the letters of our names. The "name songs" were absolutely gorgeous and added a truly unique element to the experience. Plus, as the composer, he gave our videographers permission to use them in our highlights video--MUCH better than typical royalty-free music choices. The music he played prior to the ceremony and the recessional were also beautiful; we received so many compliments on the atmosphere he helped create. We wholeheartedly recommend Nathan!!

Our wedding was amazing!!…read more We met with three other DJs before we met with Dale and the experience was like night and day. The other DJs were sappy, arrogant or desperate. None of them were as organized and professional as Dale was. Dale put us at ease right away. He knew different genres of music very well. He gave examples of how he would handle bad song requests from guests. He had a back up plan for every stage of the event. He even had a piano version of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica that we fell in love with and used in our ceremony. We left the first interview excited that we had found the perfect DJ! Danyae is the event coordinator for All Start DJ Group. She helped us put together each stage of the reception and the timing of the events. She was very friendly and easy to work with. She helped point out things that we had not thought of and allowed us to interject all of the custom aspects that made our reception unique. On the big day Dale really came through. Dale had wireless lapel mics for the officiant and myself during the ceremony. He played a song I had recorded on guitar as the bridal party came down the aisle. He even organized a group photo of the entire wedding immediately after the ceremony (220 people). During the reception I played a slideshow of my wife and I when we were growing up. Dale provided a wireless transmitter for plugging into my computer to transfer the sound to his sound board. He did a quick sound check and we were up and running. After dinner Dale threw and awesome dance party. We started with the traditional dances and then did a reverse anniversary dance. From there on the floor was rocking for the rest of the night. Dale bridged the generation gap and had everyone dancing. We are getting lots of comments and positive feedback from our wedding. We've even received a few "best wedding I've ever been to" complements. Thank you to both Dale and Danyae for all of your hard work. It really paid off and we really appreciate it.
