Steve puts the FUN in Function45! He kept all the guests out on the dance floor all night. He gave us wonderful ideas for keeping guests entertained as well as adding our special touches throughout the night. He played all of our must have songs, even my quirky special ones. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve multiple times now and we know he’s the best in the business. Thank you so much Steve for making our night unforgettable! -

Michelle G. Sent on 10/14/2023We loved working with Steve and highly recommend him to be your wedding DJ/MC.
Steve was fantastic and made our wedding so much fun and enjoyable. He kept the pace and rhythm going throughout our ceremony, dinner, and dancing. We had two check-in calls with him prior to our wedding where he went in detail about our song choices, schedule, and made sure how to pronounce everyone's names (a lor our guests had Chinese names). Steve also promptly responded to our questions over email or text. I appreciated how Steve had creative ideas for how to make our wedding more personal, including different options for the ceremony, how to introduce each member of our wedding party, and options for how to entertain guests during the reception. Additionally, his song choices are stellar and he was able to gauge the mood of the audience and adjusted music and dancing accordingly. I was so pleasantly surprised that he got our guests to dance (we didn't think our guest list would be the dancing type). I think Steve picked up that our guests liked to sing, so he played a lot of songs that everyone could sing and dance to at the same time such as Mr. Brightside, Don't Stop Believin', Taylor Swift songs, Britney Spears songs, etc. I also loved that Steve had add-on items such as a photo booth, uplights, and a bubble machine. I highly recommend all three as they really enhanced the vibe of our dance floor! -

Steve was such an amazing DJ! Not only did he help us with music selection but he added in some fun twists that we had never experienced at a wedding before. Thank you so much for such an amazing night! -

When you are looking for a DJ, I honestly feel like it’s worth to spend the extra $$$, as they control the vibe for the entire wedding. Steve is phenomenal and worth every cent!! His communication is excellent and he had great ideas that made my wedding extremely unique to others. I had people tell us days after the wedding how amazing of a DJ Steve was. I HIGHLY recommend Steve, he’s amazing. -

Major praise for DJ Steve! He is very professional and experienced, while also making the wedding planning process fun! My wife and I are low-key, not “life of the party” kind of people so Steve was instrumental in making our wedding a blast. He was honest about what would and would not work given the size of our wedding, vibe, and preferences, but listened to us and let us call the shots. Steve is definitely well known in the Sacramento wedding scene, as our officiant, photographer, and videographer all knew him from past events. We highly recommend Steve for your next event! -

This review is way overdue, but we can't recommend Steve and Function 45 enough! We got married in July, and here four months later, one of the first things our family and friends still mention when discussing our wedding is how great our DJ was. Steve was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, made us feel at ease, and helped us make decisions to craft an experience that truly reflected us as a couple. On the day of the wedding, we had no worries about anything going wrong because of the wealth of knowledge and experience he brings. However equally as important, and what is harder to put into words, is how much heart Steve brought to our wedding day - he has a passion for what he does and an ability to seamlessly guide your guests throughout the day while keeping the energy up. Everyone loved it! He not only incorporated our songs/activities/dances/etc. but included a few surprises that made our day extra special. Steve, thank you so much for everything! -

We simply can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was with Steve. From the first planning session to minutes before the wedding he was there to turn our vision into reality while also being honest with us about things that wouldn’t work from his experience. He was 100% spot on about it all. You can have the perfect visual details to a wedding but what truly makes it fun is everyone breaking the ice and partying, and Steve facilitates that seamlessly, letting you relax and enjoy the day. -

Christina A. Sent on 01/05/2021Beautiful Day!! Unforgettable Memories!!
We had an AMAZING wedding despite the 2020 curveballs! Function 45 was a major part of making our day a success and full of wonderful memories! We weren’t sure if we really had a big dancing crowd invited to our wedding, but Steve reminded us that it’s not all about a full dance floor. He expressed that he has a passion for creating little moments that make the guests feel the love that they came to celebrate. Some DJ’s just play music in the background, but not Steve! He kept our guests informed, engaged, and made every transition of the evening (grand entrance, toasts, first dance, father -daughter, mother-son dance, cake cutting) so smooth. Steve asked us in a planning meeting why we selected each song for those special moments and he mentioned our reasoning as he introduced each special dance so our family and friends knew why we chose what we did. He also asked our guests to come up with a movie title to describe our relationship and then read off the top ten! Everyone got a good laugh out of those, including us! LOL All around Steve made our wedding so memorable AND we ended up with a full dance floor! Win win! People always talk about DJ’s being pricey, but when you realize the talent, the passion, and the attention to detail in creating magical moments for your wedding, it’s worth the investment! My husband and I highly recommend Function 45! Steve is AMAZING! -

Steve, was the PERFECT person to DJ our wedding. He not only was personable but interactive with the crowd. He had great ideas regarding crowd interaction as well as played music for all age groups to enjoy! We had to move our venue three different times due to the pandemic and he followed us the entire way. Steve was rooting for us and made us feel so important. Our friends and family continue to say to this day how much they loved our DJ! The day went exactly how we dreamt of it going and a lot of that is due to Steve! -

Wow, Steve at Function 45 was a wonderful time! After a terrible COVID experience with my previous DJ's falling through due to not being able to accomodate my date changes, I got in touch with Steve and he made for a memorable night! Everything went smooth and a great amount of people danced until the very end of our wedding night! One thing I wanted to call out that was unexpected but such a great addition was his music playing for the guests to be excused to get their food at the buffet and this is why: Each of my tables had a theme of a country my husband and I traveled to and for each table he excused, he played a love song that resonated with that country (like That's Amoré for Italy). WOW! What a fun surprise and guests noticed. I highly recommend Steve for your events. He knows how to throw a great party! -

Our wedding day was perfect for us. It went off without a problem, and we/our guests had a great time. We owe most of that to Steve and Function 45. OMG, words do not describe how glad we are to have hired him. He knows what he’s doing and he helped these two homebodies through a fun wedding reception. Will definitely recommend to people for their events. -

We decided to hire Steve for our wedding entertainment after meeting him at a wedding open house. He had such great energy and sitting down and talking with him made it all the more clear that he would be the perfect DJ/MC to keep the party going at our wedding. Steve happened to be one of the preferred vendors for our wedding venue, the Firehouse restaurant, and in talking with all our other vendors when we mentioned Steve was our DJ, it was always followed by “Steve is the best”- and I was happy to hear about his excellent reputation among other people in the wedding industry!
When we had our sit down meeting with Steve, he helped incorporate all of our ideas and favorite songs we wanted and had some great ideas to help us make our special day unique and entertaining for our guests. When the big day came, Steve and his assistant were timely and ready to execute the plan we had put together. His energy and vibe were fantastic and set the tone for a beautiful ceremony followed by a fun filled reception. The dance floor stayed full the entire night and we and our guests had an amazing time. We got so many compliments that night and the days following our wedding that it felt like a party and was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and a majority of that credit goes to Steve & Function 45. If you want a team that is going to deliver a great time for you and your guests, look no further. We are incredibly thankful to have Function 45 be part of our special day.

Ashley Sent on 09/05/2019Best dj ever!
Where can I start about Function 45... We decided to hire Steve for our wedding entertainment after talking with him and three other different DJs. We connected with him right away, and his pricing was reasonable. Not too cheap to make you worry why it was indeed so inexpensive, but also not too expensive to make you shake your head and hide your wallet.
As soon as we booked with Steve, he gave us some worksheets to think about different songs and items he will be looking for once we meet a month and a half before the wedding. We arrived at his office once that day came, which is nicely decorated and super comfortable. He was well-prepared and asked all of the right questions just to get a feel for who we are as a couple and what kind of feel we wanted for our big day. After we exchanged ideas and planned the timeline for the day, we felt super comfortable and knew he would be able to execute it with no problem.
Steve and his assistant arrived timely on the big day and had everything set up on time and with such ease. He didn't even need to ask us anything because he was so prepared. Everything went according to timeline as discussed, as if we had just met the day before. We got so many compliments about him and how our DJ was so good and really got the crowd going! We loved that he was open to requests - and our guests really loved that too! It made it more fun and interesting, instead of having people wait around for a song they like before coming out to the dance floor.
A million thank yous to Steve & Function 45 for a flawless event. A DJ is such a crucial part for a wedding and we are so pleased with their service and happy that our guests felt the same way! THANKS STEVE!

Steve and his team at Function 45 was amazing! He kept all of our guests entertained and engaged, involved all of the wedding party in the entertainment, and kept the dance party moving all night. In the planning process, he had a ton of great ideas like the social media moment and the wedding party introductions that we ended up doing for our wedding. He helped us pick out the perfect songs for every important moment of our wedding and had a ton of great tips for us. Our guests raved about him all night and he had the most compliments from our guests out of all of the vendors that night.
We also opted to get the photo/video booth from him, and his lovely wife put together a beautiful memory book that we got to take home with us the next day. We definitely had a bit of the post-wedding blues as all of our family and friends flew out the next day so it was really nice to be able to flip through the book and feel the love all over again.
We are so happy we went with Steve for our DJ/MC and photo booth. Don't go with Steve if you just want someone to play background music for your event. Highly recommend if you want highly engaged guests at a wedding, party, or any other celebration! -

Maggie Sent on 01/21/2018STEVE IS THE MAN!
With a NYE Wedding, we had a huge bill to fit and Steve was the man for the job. He was the first vendor outside of our venue that we hired and he was worth every single penny. Our family and friends have continuously told us what an amazing time they had at our wedding and it was all because of him!
Steve came highly recommended by our venue coordinator, so we set up a phone interview. Typical phone interview may be 30 minutes or so, right? Not with Steve! We were on the phone over 2 hours. He felt like a friend immediately and understood the party vibe we wanted our wedding to have. We had 2 more appointments between that and the big day so that Steve could nail down all of the details.
The day of, everything went perfectly. Steve kept our guests on the move all night long--the goal since we wanted everyone to party through midnight with us. He kept everyone awake and involved and it was the best! He even threw in a few surprises for Brandon and myself. We had the most amazing time! He is not just a run of the mill DJ--the man is an entertainer!
We love you Steve. We are so glad we found you and that you said yes to us! -
