Got Everyone on the Dance Floor!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding\! Central Coast Entertainment did an incredible job keeping our guests on the dance floor all night—especially the bride\! 😂💃 All of our guests kept telling us how amazing the music was and how much they loved the fun, energetic vibe\.

Having both a DJ and MC made such a difference\. They worked so well together and kept everything fun, upbeat, and flowing throughout the entire night\. From the music to the announcements, they truly helped make our reception such a memorable and exciting celebration\.

The entire team was also so easy to work with, great at communicating, and extremely organized throughout the planning process\. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish\.

We would **100% recommend Central Coast Entertainment** to anyone looking for a DJ/MC team, and we would absolutely use them again for another event in the future\! 🎶❤️

Electric Energy, uplifting vibes

We had the privilege of having the tag team duo of MC Ivan & DJ Manny help bring the energy to our wedding.

Ivan & Manny made sure to really understand the vision of our wedding reception and how we wanted the night to flow.

As a couple, we were stressed about some last minute details so having the team of Ivan and Manny walk us through of what to expect was really calming and helpful.

We decided to let the DJ dictate the vibe of the night and we kept getting compliments for how full the dance floor was.

We really appreciated having this team make our special day even more memorable. They gave some great suggestions for our equivalent of a garter & bouquet toss, as well as getting the Horah dance set up.

The CCE team gets 5 stars from 1 happy couple.

Best dj ever

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how absolutely perfect our wedding day was, and we truly have CCE to thank for so much of it.

When we first started searching for DJs, we scheduled several consultation calls because we wanted to find someone who matched our vibe and had plenty of experience with Latin music. CCE was the very first DJ company we met with. We hopped on a call with Leo, the owner, and—spoiler alert—we ended up canceling every other meeting we had scheduled.

During that very first call, I briefly mentioned that my dream was to have our first dance be to Colgando en Tus Manos, but I also wanted to incorporate salsa somehow, even though the song isn’t traditionally salsa. Leo said he wanted to give it a try and create a custom mix for us. Keep in mind, this was before we had booked anything or made any commitment. Later that same night, he sent us the mix he had created, and it was PERFECT. We immediately knew CCE was the company we wanted for our wedding.

As we looked through their packages, we also realized they offered a photo booth at a great price, and it was such a hit! Our guests absolutely loved it and it was busy all night long.

As our wedding got closer, we were paired with DJ Aaron and MC Ivan. We had a planning meeting with Aaron, and he was fantastic. We were so excited to have him there on our big day. Unfortunately, an emergency came up and he was no longer able to make it. Instead of panicking, my husband and I felt completely at ease because we knew we were in good hands. CCE handled everything so professionally. Rather than sending us a simple email, Leo personally called us to explain the situation and let us know he would also be there on our wedding day—which honestly made us even more excited!

We were quickly paired with DJ Andrew, and after meeting with him, it became so clear that the entire CCE team is incredible. He already knew all the details of our wedding, and despite the last-minute change, we felt completely confident that everything would go smoothly.

Then came the wedding day… and I can honestly say EVERYTHING went perfectly.

Ivan was an absolutely phenomenal MC. He brought so much energy, kept everyone engaged, and made the entire day flow seamlessly. Our grand entrance was SO much fun because of him, and he kept the excitement going all night long.

And then there was the dancing… The only complaint we heard from our guests was that it ended too soon! People are still talking about how amazing the music was. We heard over and over that DJ Andrew was playing banger after banger, and no one wanted to leave the dance floor. Every song kept the energy high, and I genuinely had the time of my life. It exceeded every expectation I had.

As if the night couldn’t get any better, Leo surprised us by jumping in and performing during our Hora Loca. It was such an unforgettable surprise, and everyone had an absolute blast!

From the very first phone call to the very last song of the night, CCE exceeded every expectation we had. DJ Andrew, DJ Leo, MC Ivan, and the entire CCE team made us feel so cared for throughout the entire process.

Thank you for making our wedding day the absolute best day of our lives. We will never forget it, and we cannot recommend CCE highly enough!

DJ/MC services executed perfectly

Huge 'thank you' for making our wedding at Carmel Fields such a blast. Leo helped us get the ball rolling and was so helpful and accommodating during our planning meetings. DJ Mauro, on the day of the event, set the tone amazingly and we received many compliments about the music and overall vibe; we appreciate the energy he brought to our event. Our dancefloor, although simple, was beautifully put together and we loved how it framed our first dance and brought everyone together afterwards.

Thank you CCE for everything in making our night one to remember.

Kept the Dance Floor Packed All Night!

We absolutely loved working with Central Coast Entertainment! Their team was incredibly responsive and always available to answer any questions we had. They took the time to schedule meetings before the wedding to make sure every detail was covered and were even able to add on some last minute things just days before!

A special shoutout to our DJ/MC, Mau! He was amazing. He brought such great energy and had our guests on the dance floor all night long. The music was perfect, the transitions were seamless and the vibe was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding.

We are so grateful to the entire Central Coast Entertainment team for helping make our wedding day a vibe! We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a professional and fun entertainment team!

Wedding of the Year - Central Coast Entertainment

Where do I begin. From the first day we met Leo (Owner of Central Coast Entertainment) we knew they meant business, but we did not expect them to make our night so memorable. We went with their DJ, Photo Booth, and phone audio book and we are telling all of our friends and family getting married to do the same with them. Lupe (Our AMAZING DJ) did not miss a beat the entire night and read the room like a book. We still get guests asking us for the songs Lupe played. Our families and friends did not leave the dance floor once. The Photo Booth attendant (whose name I can’t remember but he was so amazing) had our guests enjoying the booth the entire night and our guests raved about it. The phone audio book is a must especially if you have older family. Listening back to this audio will be something we cherish for a long time. The entire experience with CCE was flawless. They communicated well and executed on everything. 10/10 recommend them!

Cce all the way!

Leo, Elia, Paulina, DJ Lupe, Lina, Martha, and everyone else working behind the scenes were incredible and helped make our wedding feel truly magical!! From planning through the wedding day, everything was handled with great attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing the entertainment and production side of the evening was in such capable hands.

The details they brought to the event truly elevated the entire experience. The upgraded white dance floor and digital seating chart made everything feel so elegant and polished from the moment guests arrived at the reception.

One of the most unforgettable highlights of the night was our first dance with the “dancing on the clouds” effect and sparklers. It felt absolutely surreal!! It created such a beautiful moment for us we will never forget.

They also did an amazing job mixing Spanish and English music in a way that kept everyone glued to the dance floor! Our guests were from many different backgrounds, and the way the music flowed throughout the night kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. So many of our guests came up to us during the reception to tell us how great DJ Lupe was and to share how much fun they were having!!

The mixed media photo booth was ANOTHER huge hit!!! Our guests loved it!! It captured so many fun photos and videos from the night in which our guests left us fun, hilarious, and also heart warming messages to us that we get to look back on.

We are so grateful to Leo and his team for helping create such an unforgettable day and for making our wedding day feel so incredibly special. We would absolutely recommend CCE to any couple looking for an amazing DJ and entertainment team!!!

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience Thanks to CCE

We cannot say enough great things about CCE. From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible and played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable at The Ranch at Silvercreek by Wedgewood Weddings.

Leo, the CEO, was amazing to work with. He personally helped us through meetings, coordination, and all of the add ons for our wedding, and made the entire process feel easy and stress free. It truly felt like he had our backs the whole way through, which meant so much to us.

A massive thank you to DJ Aaron, who was our DJ and MC for the night. He was phenomenal. The energy he brought, the way he read the room, and how smoothly everything flowed made the night so special. Our guests absolutely loved him, and we received so many compliments about the music and the vibe of the night. It was great having him in our corner the entire time and knowing we could trust him completely.

We genuinely trust Leo, Aaron, and the entire CCE team, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding or event. They helped make our night truly unforgettable, and we are so grateful for everything they did.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
