    Woody was the we DJ for our wedding on April 15, 2017. He was an awesome DJ, he was referred to us by another DJ and we could not be more satisfied with our decision. He was super great with our Hispanic crowd ! There wasn't a minute the dance floor was empty. He is extremely organized and has a neat online system that helped us choose music we wanted/didn't want played at our wedding. DJ's make the difference between a good and great wedding, and DJ Woody definitely made ours a great wedding !

    Stop your search now, you've found your DJ. Woody brings the full package from start to finish. He is professional, easy to work with, and creates epic dance floor experiences. Woody DJ'ed our ceremony and poolside wedding in Palm Springs. He got EVERYONE on the dance floor and had us there all night. He brings all of the equipment you don't even know you need (mics, lights, PA system, extension cords, etc) and trust me, you will be so thankful for this. We didn't have to worry about a thing except having FUN! We all had a blast thanks to Woody!

    The event site. Woody was great!

    Woody is AMAZING. He's spot on from the moment you contact him to the end of the event. Woody is so friendly, professional, and intuitive to the needs of the customer. He DJ'd our daughter's wedding and the timing of the music during the ceremony all the way to the entertainment during the reception was perfect. His website is easy to use and allows the customer to customize their event. Woody is always just a call away to settle down any pre-event jitters. His service is hands down 5 stars.

    My wife and I recently got married and we couldn't be happier and feel we made the right decision for picking Woody as our DJ for our reception. He's an awesome guy and is really easy to work with. We asked him to do other things that weren't in his original schedule and he was able to incorporate them perfectly. He definitely helped make the day perfect. Family and friends told us that they had a great time and our reception coordinator even told us that she and her staff thought he was great and would recommended him to others.

    Reasons we booked Woody for our wedding: - Quote was reasonable compared to other DJs in the area and included travel expenses - He was familiar with our venue and has a lot of experience doing weddings - He showed us his sweet online planner that allowed us to create our timeline and song list, which none of the other DJs offered - Clear and articulate speaking voice - He was so personable over email and on the phone and seemed genuinely excited about our wedding that we booked him right after our call with him, and without meeting him in person (we live in the Midwest and the wedding was in California) Reasons why we'd book Woody again: - Very low-maintenance vendor - we didn't have to worry about him and could trust him to be in contact with the venue, day-of coordinator, and get set up. He was able to haul all his equipment on a ferry to Catalina Island, load it into a taxi to the venue, and get it all set up and taken down with a smile, and still had enough energy to join our guests at the after-party - Equipment and set up was good - guests were able to hear the ceremony clearly in our outdoor area; music during cocktail hour and dinner was loud enough without being overpowering; dance music was clear and good quality - Music library was good - the online planner has a LOT of music in there, and we were also able to request music that wasn't there. Woody was able to find those additional songs for us - Because of his online planner and our final meeting before the wedding, we had a clear timeline for the day and felt prepared going into it - Able to read the crowd and the music he chose really set the tone for the theme we were going for - Magically able to stick to our timeline without the event feeling rushed - this was huge for us - Great at communicating with our day-of coordinator and with us throughout the day to ensure we were ready for the next event on the timeline, that when a song was dedicated to somebody that person was actually in the room, and that the last song of the night was just right - Correctly pronounced our families' Russian/Polish/Filipino/Lebanese names after only a brief lesson over the phone a few days prior. Seriously impressive Bottom line: we truly enjoyed having Woody as our DJ and we think you will too.

    See all

We had a vow renewal, not a wedding, and we needed energy without placing all the attention on us. With just a few notes from us, he built an intro that captured exactly who we are and set the tone for the entire night. We shared playlists, and he locked onto the vibe immediately. Our guests were energized from start to finish. He has a strong grasp of crowd flow, emotional pacing, and the impact of small decisions. When my dad decided last minute that he wanted to give a thank you speech, Armando suggested placing it after the best people speeches. His reasoning was spot on. It ended the speech block with the right emotional weight. He also recommended we escort my grandma up for her performance, a detail that made the moment feel intentional and deeply meaningful. Communication was always professional. Quick replies, organized documentation, and clear calls made planning straightforward. If you book him, bring your vision. Have playlists ready, think through your must-haves and hard rules, and practice any timing-specific requests you want executed precisely. We learned this with our ceremony-kiss music cue, which was only semi-aligned. Also be explicit about boundaries. We said yes to guest requests but no line dances, so when someone requested one, Cupid Shuffle briefly slipped in. He cut it short, which we appreciated. Throughout the night he kept checking in, updating us on timing shifts and transitions. It gave us confidence that everything was flowing exactly as it should. Armando knows how to shape a night, read a room, and elevate the experience tailored to his clients. We couldn't have asked for a better master of ceremonies and event partner!

My husband is a musician and he mentioned how smooth his delivery was, and how he had a great tone and voice for the microphone. Q the Music Entertainment was hired for our annual Halloween party this year. They showed up on time, had a great set up, even added extra lights of his own to our entrance. As a DJ, you gotta feel the crowd and you gotta keep them dancing and he did just that. My entire family and our guests were incredibly impressed with this year's music entertainment and want him back next year! Thank you Q the Music Entertainment! You delivered a fun time, everyone is still talking how this was the best year. We look forward to hiring you again and referring your services to others

He was very responsive and catered to all my requests! I was able to provide him with my preferences and boy did he deliver! He played all the songs I requested! I noted some specific times for changes in the music and tasks and he did them all! He even passed out the light sticks when the time came! I noted it for myself to do it and actually forgot, but he was on top of it and got it done! Lifesaver!!! His equipment and lighting beautifully lit up our backyard and set the ambiance! Love the uplights throughout!! Great sounds and kept the party going! He was super sweet through it all and even introduced himself as soon as he got there to talk to my daughter, wished her a happy birthday! He was just overall amazing. Don't hesitate to book him!

Aside from…read morebeing thoroughly surprised by the event, I really appreciated Mark's attentiveness on various fronts. He was SO personable that I halfway wondered if I had gone to high school with him (I didn't)....but it turns out we are connected - unbeknownst to my hubs - by six degrees of separation with some friends / colleagues in El Monte. Anyway, I didn't learn those details until later, later. Allll that being said, DJ Mark definitely kept the vibe going. He has an array of music and even honored requests for some "IYKYK songs" packed in his "digital music crate" that got my tias dancing on memory lane. Like, I'm talking rare disco! Because I was late to my surprise party he extended his stay and played on, which I truly appreciated. He was a wonderful emcee ensuring that I felt comfortable and very encouragingly gave me the floor to open the party with a speech. That is attention to detail! Part of his services included a Photo Booth. Mark was super responsive and easy to work with as we co-navigated accessing the pictures that our guests took. Definitely photos and memories to be treasured for a milestone birthday, thanks to Dj Mark!!
