    Professional, Efficient and adapts to crowd

    To start, Joe was a breath of fresh air in a stressful time. From the beginning he was professional, gave excellent tips and recommendations for the timeline and even for other aspects of the wedding. I am the sister of the groom organizing and coordinating the whole wedding and he really helped make this day special. The bride and groom danced the entire night until the very end because he followed their wishes exactly as asked. OUR FAVORITE PART: was that he was unassuming and subtle with carrying out the timeline. He didn't try to be in the Mic unless needed, making sure the bride and groom were center of attention and not him. Yet, he still managed to get everyone on the dance floor without being cheesy! the bride, groom and I highly recommend him. He also worked great with the vendors! Thanks Joe!!!

    Truly Unbelievably Good!

    Joe was amazing! He asked for some thoughts on what we liked and absolutely nailed who we were and what we were looking for. His music was completely on point at every stage of the wedding, even at times where we didn't think of tunes.

    Utterly professional, easy to deal with and very subtle. I can't recommend him highly enough, people were talking about this wedding for weeks afterwards (actually they haven't stopped so far and it's making me wish we had a reason for another party (with Joe doing the honours)).

    Seriously, he captured our tastes and the flow of the wedding and the people perfectly. I really can't recommend him highly enough.

    Fantastic wedding DJ!

    Joe was a total class act. He was referred to us by our wedding planner. After a short conversation, we hired him on the spot.

    Joe was very personable, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He worked with us and our family on a unique venue setup. We spoke to him on the phone about our song selections, which he was happy to accommodate.

    Joe kept the party going all night with a wide variety of our favorite songs from R&B to Country and Classic Rock. We gave him a list of our favorite songs, and he filled in the rest seamlessly. His song selections were outstanding! Look no further for a central coast wedding DJ - we highly recommend using Joe.

    Thank you, Joe, for making our wedding so memorable!

    Professional and fun DJ

    Everything was professional with Joe. He listened to all of our requests and worked great with all of the vendors. It was the second time Joe has helped us at events and would use definitely use him again.

    Exceeded our expectations!!

    Joe was a pleasure to work with since he had so much experience he was able to swiftly grasp our wishes and sensitive enough to gauge the mood of our reception and make song selections based upon this. We and our guests had a fantastic time and we attribute this to our dj as well! He was a great help and were very thankful that we chose him!

    A total pro!

    We hired Joe for our wedding in San Luis Obispo (September 2018). Joe was incredibly professional, classy and the perfect choice for a fun wedding. We mostly gave him general ideas and music genres for the cocktail hour and reception, and he knew exactly what we wanted. Our guests raved about the song selection, which contributed greatly to the mood and energy of the celebration. Joe also provided the audio equipment for the ceremony. We didn't have a single glitch or problem with the microphones. The audio was flawless. We highly recommend Joe to anyone seeking a professional and fun DJ!

    Joe is an amazing DJ. We wanted people on the dance floor and the dance floor was full until the lights had to come on. Joe was great to work with, he didn't play any of the songs we didn't want, he played our guests requested songs, and we danced all night. Highly recommended!

    Thank you Joe!

    Joe is the best there is and he is truly so much more than just a great DJ! We could not have pulled off our wedding without him. He has such a keen eye for literally every detail of the day and he helped us tremendously when it came to location of events, timeline, and setup. He has unmatched knowledge and expertise in making a wedding day fun and flow smoothly from start to finish. Our guests all had a blast on the dance floor. Joe knows how to keep the party going and quickly adjusts to anything that is thrown his way. You will not regret hiring Joe. There is no one better.

    Joe was outstanding! Everyone came up to us and complimented us on how great the music was all night long! Joe even saved the day when the music for my video montage didn't work. Joe impromptu covered the video with his own music. Thank you Joe for making our wedding SUCH a spectacular experience! We were so glad to have trusted this day with Joe!

    We had the pleasure of having Joe be our wedding DJ in June 2018 and we can’t recommend him enough! He is very professional, amazingly helpful, and understands the wedding flow very well. He took our song suggestions and created a great playlist that set the mood perfectly for each part of the evening. He was able to get our guests up and dancing and he wasn’t an intrusive MC. Joe responded quickly to all of our emails and had several conference calls to discuss the many important parts of our wedding. We couldn’t be happier to have had Joe as our DJ!

    Would 100% recommend Joe!! He was incredibly helpful leading up to my wedding, providing valuable insights and suggestions that were much needed seeing as how I didn't have a separate wedding consultant to help me. Most importantly, my wedding was a BLAST!! Family and friends haven't stopped talking about it. The lighting, music, and emceeing were perfect. An incredible night that Joe really helped orchestrate.

    Joe was a fantastic DJ, host, and MC for our wedding! He listened to our requests and made our special day truly feel like it was all about us. He let us provide a list of songs to inspire the mood and he took it from there creating a great playlist from the time guests arrived all the way up until the time music had to be turned off. There were a few not so popular songs we had requested and Joe had the exact version we wanted. There was even a song that we wanted just the opening acoustics to for our unity ceremony, and he looped it perfectly and seamlessly. His mics worked well and were very easy to use and hear during the ceremony and reception speeches. He worked as a team with our coordinator and our guests had a really great time on the dance floor. The only thing we would have done differently is request an announcement at the end that we were leaving. We didn't have sparklers or any toss extras for our guests, so we told Joe we weren't doing a formal send off, but we did have a get away car and should have announced to our guests that we were leaving so they could say goodbye. That was our fault though - not Joe's! With all the hustle and bustle leading up to the big day, we didn't consider this to be a formal send off, but in hind sight it really was. Just a note for future couples. Everything else was perfect though and we give him 5 stars! :)

    We are so happy Joe was a part of our big day! He made the planning so simple and easy. We had live music for the ceremony and father/daughter dance. He reached out to our musicians and coordinated everything, all I had to do was give him their numbers. SO EASY. He played all of our requested music and so much more! I know I already said it, but we are so happy he was a part of our wedding day team! Also, he is so stylish! Thanks Joe.

    If you want to have a person who is 100% invested in making sure your party goes off without a hitch, hire Joe. Joe was the DJ for my wedding and we hired him for my parents 50th wedding anniversary without even a second thought. He is smart, organized and confident. He will make you think about your choices and provide valuable input from the thousands of events he has already facilitated. Thank you Joe, I had no stress and my parents had an amazing time.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Joe for our wedding in Paso Robles. Joe was professional, communicative and helped us time out our big day. I threw in a small, curveball surprise and Joe had no problem adding it into the lineup. The music selection was on point and everyone had an amazing time. Happy wife, happy life, thanks Joe!

    We worked with Joe for our wedding last month and couldn't be happier! Joe took his time to get to know us and our music style. He suggested great songs that we hadn't heard of and was careful to play all the specific ones we had to have. At the event, he did a great job reading the audience and choosing music that kept everyone on the dance floor. It was an unforgettable party and we're so glad Joe helped us make it happen!

    Joe did an AMAZING job! We gave him a list of some songs that inspired us and he executed perfectly, the music he played was absolutely perfect for our wedding. There was always people on the dance floor enjoying the music and he read the crowd perfectly and made everything flow. He also did a great job working with the other vendors and he went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We didn't want the party to end! I highly recommend Joe, he is the best!!! :)

    Joe setup the ideal party experience for our big day, and did so seamlessly for ceremony and reception. And it was more than just providing the perfect playlist that worked so well with our song list; he kept the pace and tempo of the evening smooth and effortless for everyone. Joe was very thorough and patient, making sure all of my details and requests were noted. It all played out so well and we are very happy!

    DJ Joe was absolutely awesome through out the entire wedding process. Our first discussion was very informative and detailed, which made me feel great about how much consideration Joe had for making a special event. Joe brings a lot of experience and knowledge about generating positive energy and definitely was able to capture this for our wedding. He was very helpful at assisting with other vendors during our ceremony and reception and took a lot of the pressure off. We did not have a wedding planner and Joe really made sure any loose ends were taken care of. As far as the DJ abilities he was totally outstanding! We were able to generate a list of our desired music and he made sure all the other music provided really fit in with our party. The sound quality and light show absolutely made for an awesome dance party! When I read all of the other reviews about Joe, I was really impressed. You will not be disappointed at all if you hire his services! I highly recommend DJ Joe! He is a great person and takes pride in his job! Thanks Joe

    Joe LaBarbera came highly recommended to us through a family member who hired him for her wedding. I knew I was in great hands when we hired Joe for our November 5th 2016 wedding at Robin's Restaurant in Cambria. Joe LaBarbera was extremely professional and helpful through the music decision process. He was very detailed and to the point when we discussed the music timeline, which really helped to ensure the music & cadence of our wedding was met.

    Joe supported our outdoor cocktail hour & reception perfectly to our requests and was extremely timely with song choices to keep the older crowd happy earlier, while keeping the younger guests on the floor for the entire night!

    I was extremely pleased with the way Joe worked with the other vendors at our wedding. His professionalism and fun hearted spirit makes working with Joe a flawless experience! He took leadership head-on by fading out certain songs which were too lengthy, as well as keeping me in the loop so I always knew what to expect next! I never felt like I had to to take control of the party because Joe had it handled all night! Joe has the perfect ability to take charge, while lighting up the party!

    All of my guests raved about the music & the party atmosphere that Joe created!

    With Joe, you will get an individual who truly cares about the success of your event. Joe is the type of person who will listen to your recommendations of music & entertainment and tailor it to be a night of fun you and your guests will not forget. Through his years of experience, Joe has perfected the art of entertaining guests through music, excitement and energy.

    We can not be more pleased with our DJ experience!!!

    We were very impressed with Joe's ability to know the venue & know what we musically enjoy! We sent a simple playlist of what we wanted & he turned that into a seamless evening of romantic sound. He did a great job of reading our guests, playing dance music requests, & was fun to be around! We would recommend LaBarbera Sound to anyone looking for quality audio for their wedding!!
