We hired DJ Taraneh for our wedding at a remote location in California, and he exceeded our…read moreexpectations in every way. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he checked in with us several times to make sure everything was on track and helped us create a solid timeline to keep the event flowing smoothly and the energy high throughout the night. On the wedding day, he arrived on time, fully prepared, and executed everything flawlessly. One thing we really appreciated was his honesty and fair pricing. Unlike several other Iranian DJs we contacted, he didn't nickel-and-dime us because of our remote venue location. His pricing was reasonable, and the level of service he provided was exceptional. Beyond being a great DJ, he's simply a wonderful person--friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in making your event successful. His music selection was fantastic, blending both Persian and English songs seamlessly and keeping guests of all ages on the dance floor. If you're looking for a professional, experienced, reliable DJ who knows how to keep a party going, we highly recommend DJ Taraneh. We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

I booked him last minute for my wedding on August 6th, and he did an amazing job! We setup all the details for my big day, and he even coordinated with my DJ flying in from Texas on what sound would be needed. He showed up on time to my wedding, set everything up, no one needed to help him: he had it ALL under control. I told him before he left for the night, but its as if he was my invisible superhero! Both my wedding and reception went without a hitch: and he cleaned up everything on his own too. Such a nice guy, with great prices! Thanks for everything Dan: you were a lifesaver! Hope to hire you for more future events!

The singer has a great voice and the band has real talent. They all did! But they were hilarious at the same time. Between their outfits which consisted of short red gym shorts, a red tank, and long athletic socks with red stripes, they just owned the party! Their synced dance moves, random leg kicks, shake weights and other antics, we were laughing so hard we cried! They make for a great party addition and will make you the star amongst your friends. Did I forget to mention their stashes and how they hand them out for everyone to wear? People of all ages loved them from teens to elderly! They are definitely an attraction!

He made us feel like he had everything under control and that he knew when to accommodate us and when he could use his knowledge to make sure everyone had a great time. In the pre-ceremony, he mixed it up between some pre-selected songs I chose and played some live. I am a musician, so many of our family and friends that were in attendance are all musicians and singers. They all immediately were drawn to his smooth voice and incredible playing. The ceremony went great and had minimal to no tech issues, the sound was clear, he helped us incorporate our musician friends to play a song during the ceremony. He played our First Dance song live, and absolutely knocked it out of the park! We did a small choreographed dance to Love Like This by Ben Rector. His voice was perfect, and I was able to send him an edited version of the song that matched with our dance. He played it flawlessly and the moment was special for my wife and I, and for our guests. During the dinner, he played an acoustic set consisting of covers of 90s-2000s R&B songs, which were a huge hit with us and our guests. He played with a loop pedal and was able to simulate a full band with just his guitar and voice! He had some moving and grooving, singing along during dinner, while others were still able to hold a conversation without distraction. I gave him many songs to include in the dance portion of the night. And while he included MANY of my suggestions, he also knew when to throw in some crowd favorites to keep the party going. The dance floor was PACKED all night, the transitions between each song where seamless, and it became a fun game for my and my friends to try and guess what song he was cueing up next! My wife and I loved every musical moment of the evening, and it was exactly what we dreamed of for that day. All of our guests loved the music, and were so impressed not just with his professionalism and on stage banter with the crowd, but his musicality and rich voice. I have worked as a wedding musician for a few years, and as a gigging musician and singer for much longer. I have always feared that I would spend my wedding day judging the Wedding Band/DJ because of my high standards for live music. Jonathan blew every single one of those expectations out of the water, and he was such a breath of fresh air during a stressful period of wedding planning. I cannot recommend Jonathan Blake Salazar any more for your wedding. He is a dream to work with, and will do an incredible job performing, Emceeing, and DJing your special day!

Jonathan was extremely professional while MCing our wedding. He made all the appropriate announcements and kept the celebration flowing smoothly all night. With his clear, strong voice, relatable personality, and attention to detail, you cannot go wrong with Jonathan as the host of your big day! Jonathan is also an extremely talented artist. He performed live during cocktail hour and during dinner, and I had so many guests commenting on how much they enjoyed the live music. It was such a fun and unique addition. It really elevated the experience for everyone. Once the dancing kicked off, Jonathan absolutely nailed it. He seamlessly wove his go to dance tracks with our specially requested songs and made the dance floor the place to be. Our dance floor was open for about four hours including the after party, and Jonathan made sure to keep the energy high! We all had the best night and three months later, our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had. I owe a big part of this to Jonathan. We cannot thank you enough!!

Unfortunately, the experience was basically destroyed by Mr. St. Clair's decision to stop after the first and second movements to explain what the audience was about to hear. It just completely destroyed the flow and my ability to hear the symphony the way the composer intended it to be heard. I appreciate understanding the context for the music. I have the ability to research this information for myself. If Mr. St. Clair feels the need to explain the piece to the audience, can he please do that before the orchestra starts playing? I'm feeling kind of ridiculously angry about being deprived of this immersive experience today. Please consider this feedback because we have tickets, once again, for the Sunday series and I'm coming to listen to the music. It's a visceral experience that I want to have without someone interfering with it. Respectfully, Leslie K
