Client Review

Preston was an amazing DJ! Music was so important to us for our wedding. It’s a big part of who we are and I personally love to dance, so we needed someone that could keep the party going with our music aesthetic, more dance remix/EDM. Preston did not disappoint! The music was so spot on for every part of the wedding and people came up to us and told us how awesome the music had been throughout. Even the staff at the venue who has worked a lot of weddings told us it was the best music they had experienced. He was able to play a wide variety of music genres. Our ceremony was all indie/folk, cocktail time was old jazz like Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong and reception was dance remix/EDM. It was PERFECT and really showcased the music we love as a couple best. He also surprised us with special lighting that made the barrels look so cool! It was so incredibly thoughtful and unexpected! Lastly, Preston was our MC too and did a great job at making sure the event kept to schedule and announced things with such class/taste. I feel like that has to be noted because I’m sure we’ve all experienced MCs that make it about them, are cheesy, etc., and I just think it’s important to point out because he was perfect. Our wedding coordinator even came up to tell us how professional and wonderful he was to work with and how he was so on top of it on our wedding day. She had never worked with him before but now he’s on her preferred vendor list!

Also, I want to note how incredible Preston was leading up to the event. Before we even booked him and were just getting quotes, he asked to schedule a call with us to get a feel for who we are, what we were looking for, etc. This felt so much more personal than just emails I received from other DJs or DJ groups that sent you a quote and a request for booking. When we chatted with him on the phone, we immediately felt like he understood us and what we wanted to achieve at our wedding. He was super responsive in all of our correspondence and a few weeks before our wedding, we even met up with him at the venue, did a walk-through with him for set-up and chatted more about what the timeline looked like, our plans, vision, etc. We really appreciated that he went out of his way to make sure he was as prepared as possible and that we felt super comfortable for our wedding day.

We cannot recommend Preston enough! Your DJ is one of the most important vendors for your wedding day (or any big event!) and you want to ensure that you have someone you can trust and that can create the right vibe. Preston is an outstanding, professional and super talented DJ who helped bring our wedding vision to life! And one final note, Preston uses turntables too, which makes him that much cooler. ;)

Jon and Sami pick a wedding location completely different than most of my clients. Not a Hotel Ballroom, Winery, Beach view location or even a private estate, they picked their favorite Brewery, 32 North Brewery in Miramar. We met at the venue for a walkthrough of the space and to discuss music and timeline details. At first I was a bit concerned with the outcome of this wedding, but once we started to discuss their vision of the space I realized this wasn’t going to be a typical wedding. They didn’t want a typical wedding with cheesy wedding music. Their vision was to turn this brewery into a night club for the night with Mashups, EDM and lots of club style dance music and this is exactly what they got. Once it was time for dancing, the venue lights turned off, I turned on my uplights and kicked things off with Missy Elliot Lose Control. As soon as the music started everyone started dancing and they didn’t stop dancing till the very end. It was once of the best parties of 2019. Congratulations Jon and Sami!
