I want to make sure you all know that Del from Entertainment Now is one of the most professional DJs we have on the central coast. He has always arrived early to his events and has so much to offer the bride and groom. He also is very helpful with other vendors on making sure we have everything we need to perform our best. He is a class act and a true gentleman. You will not be disappointed with his flair for reading a crowd and keeping them dancing.
Entertainment Now, can rock your party. DJ Del will cover all requests that are suggested by the brides and grooms. DJ Dell is very respectful to all guests and the facilities. He carries a back up of any required equipment to make sure that all musical needs are covered. Here at Edna Valley Vineyard we know that with Entertainment Now,DJ Del and DJ Kevin, your musical needs are covered.
Del was the DJ at our wedding and I recommend him to anyone! He was exactly what we were looking for; professional, fun, great music selection, and he kept the reception on schedule! He really listened to what we requested and wanted out of the evening and made it happen just as we wished!
Del is a wonderful DJ. He is the ultimate professional -- kind, caring, patient, up to the minute on the latest music, sound gear, venues, etc. I am never so happy when I know that he is to be part of a wedding ceremony that I will perform because I know that everything will run smoothly and be stress free. Entertainment Now is at the top of my DJ list. regards, Rev. Stephanie Raphael
I've worked with Del on numerous occasions while I was working as a Catering Manager. He is always professional, very helpful,(he's even carried things for me!), and is always on time! You won't have to worry about anything if you hire him.
The personality of your DJ is really important, since they have a large influence on the ambiance and mood at your reception. Del has a classy, professional attitude that is hip at the same time. He knows how to keep the dance floor packed with guests. He's also great at coordinating with the other vendors, especially the videographer and the photographer. With all three of us on the same page everything goes smoothly. I recommend Del with absolutely no hesitation.
Del McCulley is one of the areas most valued DJ's. He makes everything so simple for the brides and grooms, they are able to do all thier planning through his website, it makes things run so smoothly. He is easy to work with, friendly, has every type of music that you need and works very well in all situations. He will make sure that your wedding reception is fun, festive and that you have the time of your life!
Having worked many weddings with Entertainment Now, we are always impressed with the professionalism and caring of the owner/DJ Del. Del takes those extra steps necessary to make sure the entertainment for the bride and grooms special day, is perfect in every way.
I have worked with Del on a number of occasions and would love to be able to work along side him every weekend. Del is wonderful at facilitating all aspects of the wedding ceremony and reception. Del is great at communicating with every vendor to keep things rolling smoothly. I highly recommend Entertainment Now!
Mr. Del McCully always being on the leading edge of technology. I would certainly recommend Del for a fabulous time at your event.

Tips and Advice
Ask your DJ if they will use 4 speakers at your Wedding Reception...two on the floor and two on Stands is what they should use! Two on the Floor give you Bass and two on stands will reach every part of your wedding venue, most DJ’s only use two speakers and if they put them on the floor they will have Bass... however, when your guests are dancing their bodies will block the sound and if they only use two on stands they will not have the Bass..., think of it this way...how many speakers does your car have in it and if you do not know count them and you will find that the more speakers the better the sound!! I spread the sound around the room and never use less then 4 speakers and in larger venues I use 6 speakers with sound processing....do they have sound processing or even know what this is? Ask for a photo of the sound system and speakers that your DJ will use at your Wedding Reception, would you order a car and not see a photo of what you are ordering:

There are many Beautiful location’s here on the Central Coast Of California like Beach Resort’s , Wineries and other special venue’s, if you are interested in getting married on the Coast give me a call at 805-461-6741 and I will direct you to some Great Ceremony & Receptions locations! Book your Wedding Location early as the California Central Coast is a Wedding Destination and this will ensure that your wedding date is not taken, also...book all your wedding vendor’s early!

DJ Del
