Wedding at El Mangroove

Zach was an amazing DJ for our wedding at El Mangroove in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. He was easy to work with, flexible during the planning process, and did a great job timing music transitions around speeches and other key moments. The dance floor was packed all night, and our friends and family had an absolute blast. He kept the energy up, read the crowd perfectly, and helped make our wedding reception unforgettable. Highly recommend!

DJ Zach was the absolute best! From the very beginning he was super responsive and explained everything to us in perfect detail. He listened to what we wanted + didn't want and was flexible as things changed throughout the night. He brought the PARTY. All my friends and family had so much fun and we couldn't stop talking about it! He truly helped make the night unforgettable + took some of my favorite wedding photos!

Want everyone dancing all night?

Zach was absolutely incredible and truly one of the highlights of our wedding weekend. He DJ’d both our White Party and our wedding night, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. He did an amazing job reading the crowd and keeping the energy high from start to finish.

One thing that meant a lot to us was incorporating Brazilian music, and he blended it perfectly with everything else so all of our guests were out there dancing. Our friends and family are still talking about how fun the dance floor was.

Zach was professional, easy to work with, and helped create the exact vibe we wanted for the entire weekend. If you want a packed dance floor and an unforgettable party, we couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

The best dance floor!

We truly cannot say enough good things about DJ Guana. From the moment the dance floor opened, it was packed and it stayed that way for four straight hours. Not a single lull, not a single reason to step away. The music was perfectly timed, the transitions were seamless, and every song kept the energy high. They read the crowd flawlessly and created an atmosphere where everyone, of all ages, just wanted to keep dancing. If you want a full dance floor and unforgettable energy all night long, this is the DJ you want. Hands down one of the best decisions we made.

Perfect DJ for our wedding!

DJ Guana was truly outstanding, an absolute professional and a huge reason our wedding was such a success.

From start to finish, he brought incredible energy, confidence, and attention to detail. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the dance floor alive, seamlessly mixing songs that appealed to all ages and maintaining the perfect flow throughout the night.

Beyond the music, he madeclear and professional announcements, had flawless coordination with the venue and vendors, and a calm, reassuring presence that made everything feel effortless. He was prepared, organized, and genuinely invested in making our night special.

Most importantly, he made the celebration fun. Guests are still talking about how great the music was and how much they danced. If you’re looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, personable, and truly passionate about what he does, DJ Guana is the best you can ask for. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Thank you DJ! PURA VIDA!

Definitely hiring Zach for my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th weddings

Zach was the absolute best. I’ve been to and helped with so many weddings and I know how hard it can be to find a legitimate wedding DJ. Zach was 10 stars from start to finish. Communication was so on point. He didn’t miss a beat (pun intended). His wife was also a massive help in weeding planning for us. Not sure if she does it full time but she was an absolute rock star. Might be worth asking Zach if she’s available. I will 1000000000% be hiring Zach (& his wife, if she’s available) for my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th weddings!!!!

Fantastic DJ for Costa Rican Destination Wedding!

DJ Guana aka DJ Zach was great! We interviewed and got estimates from several DJs in Costa Rica. He answered all of our questions about his process and was very affordable. He had a questionnaire to learn about our likes and dislikes as well as specific songs we wanted for each part of the day. We had a call about 1-2 weeks before our wedding to discuss and walk through everything so that we felt at ease. The day of the wedding went great and just as planned. He was high energy and kept our guests dancing all night. We would highly recommend!
