Stop your search and book DC!…read more Dominic and his team are some of the best in the business! We used their DJ (big shoutout to Jason, he was incredible!!!) and videography services. We planned our entire wedding from out of state and they made the process seamless from start to finish. All of our guests (spanning multiple generations) had a great time and were out on the dance floor. The DJ/MC can be one of those wedding items that people push to the side but trust me when I say just how important it is to have an experienced company who listens and understands what you are looking for. Your guests will most likely not remember the florals and linens you obsessed over, what they will remember is having a good time and that begins with the DJ! Four months after our big day and I still watch our wedding video a few times/week because I can't get over how DC captured every moment so perfectly. (Our families were in tears the first time watching it!) Steven worked effortlessly with our photographers and at times I forgot he was there because he was so unobtrusive during those moments you want to be in and enjoy. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring and trusting the team at DC!

We finally got married 5/6/23 and Josh did a FANTASTIC job as our videographer! He is a genuinely kind, calm person and is a wonderful human being. He constantly offered to help throughout the day, for example making sure bride and groom both had drinks! As for the video..... he absolutely nailed it. It's romantic, cinematic, and captures all the best moments. My husband got a lump in his throat watching it. It's something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. Josh is an absolute dream to work with. Don't skimp on the video - it's the only thing that will truly transport you back to that day in the years to come. He is worth every single penny (and then some)! Thank you Josh!!!

Luckily for us we were recommended Steven through our photographer Randy(R&R Photogrpahy). In short, we were so please with the overall experience. The pricing was fairly reasonable especially considering the quality of work that Steven provided. He was always punctual, organized, and open minded when it came to answering our questions and providing recommendations. He even went to great lengths to personally create a timeline of events for our wedding day to ensure that everything went according to plan. During the wedding, Steven made us feel very comfortable and not once did we feel shy around the camera. He was very hands on and made sure that everything ran smoothly and on time. When we watched our video, it was like reliving our special day all over again. He did such a great job of highlighting and capturing all of the special moments. He is a true artist and you can definitely feel all the love and dedication he puts in his videos. Thank you, Steven from the bottom of our hearts. We appreciate everything you've done. Continue to make peoples special day even more special. Your friends, John & Janice

Mike Buffo was a videographer for my fitness testimonial end of 2020, in Monterey, CA. I felt very…read morecomfortable following the few directions Mike led me through to begin. I felt relaxed & confident in front of the screen. What made it so much easier, even though I memorized the script, was having the teleprompter right there within the face of the camera (IPad) so all I had to do was read the script & it looked as if I was looking directly into the camera. Mike operated the camera & interviewed me at the same time, which went smoothly in one take, but we did 2 just as backup. We shot at the golden hour, around 3pm, which made the video/ photos turn out stunning! He also took shots of me posing in workout stances to assist the verbal testimonial. I love the results of both the video & photographs! Overall, Mike Buffo was personable & professional & I would definitely recommend him as your next videographer! Thank you!! Yvonne Foletta :)

I knew I wanted to do a promo film so clients could come to my website and get to "meet me". What Estrella Film created a beautiful promo video for me that was perfect! In the beginning I met with Dave and Colleen over coffee to discus what I was looking for in a video. Dave was awesome- super receptive to ideas, and I had no problem trusting him to do this thing too. It's funny, I was there, and saw it all happen and I was still so surprised and excited with how beautiful the video turned out.The video Estrella Films put together wasn't just clips of the footage we shot- it was edited into a beautiful story. Not to mention when you meet them you'll love them. Dave has this way about him that is very comfortable and calm, which is really nice when your nervous in front of the camera! I love my promo video, and everytime they post a new wedding video I can't wait to watch it, and I usually cry!

Then 2 texts from Sean with excuses for not returning call, emails, texts. Then again silence and no responses to my questions (phone, email, text).

Not good to Ghost a senior citizen couple on their 50th Anniversary celebration. I would NEVER promote this business, I don't know how many sites he uses, I counted 3 but Sean Salazar is probably fraudulent and obviously very irresponsible. I'm so glad we didn't hire him.

This video is more than we could have ever dreamed of. Thank you so much for going so above and beyond what we requested, in every way. Also, thank you to your wife for filming too! The footage is gorgeous, the sound is so clear, and the way you captured the whole event makes it incredibly special for us watching it back now. That you included things such as my elderly grandparents entering, Juan saying "you're beautiful" at the conclusion of the ceremony, the family interviews towards the end, and the shots of us walking and kissing at the end is so wonderful. And the ceremony itself is perfect! What our officiant said at our ceremony was exactly what was said at my parents' wedding (which we have an old video of as well), so for us to have this video forever to share with our children someday means a lot to us.

We've now hosted our annual Young Adults with Epilepsy Making Waves Gala at Wave Street Studios…read moretwice, and I can honestly say it is one of Monterey's hidden gems. From the moment you begin planning until the last guest leaves the dance floor, Rhett and his family are incredibly hands-on, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your event a success. It's truly a family affair, with Rhett, his wife, son, and daughter all pitching in to make everything feel seamless. One of the things that sets Wave Street Studios apart is how effortlessly the space transforms throughout the evening. Our guests enjoyed dinner, then the room transitioned beautifully into a lively dance floor without missing a beat. The lighting, technology, and overall atmosphere create a magical experience that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Rhett also coordinated seamlessly with one of their preferred catering partners, Fire on Wheels Pizza, who not only served fantastic food but even created a custom signature mocktail just for our event. It was such a thoughtful touch that our guests loved. Hosting a nonprofit gala requires countless moving pieces, and having a venue partner who anticipates needs, solves problems before they arise, and truly cares is invaluable. Wave Street Studios does exactly that. Add in the tremendous value for everything that's included, and it's hard to imagine a better event venue on the Monterey Peninsula. What we especially love is that it doesn't feel like another generic hotel ballroom. The space has personality, warmth, and a sense of place that made our guests feel like they were part of something truly special. It created an experience--not just an event. If you're looking for a unique venue for a fundraiser, wedding, corporate event, or celebration, I can't recommend Wave Street Studios highly enough. We look forward to coming back again.
