Israel played the ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding and was fabulous! His style, musical selection, and vibe were exactly what we were looking for and not to mention, he's super easy and nice to work with. Thank you Israel for helping to create a wonderful environment for our wedding!

I worked with Israel as a wedding coordinator. He was easy to get in touch with prior to the wedding, although I think he prefers the phone to e-mail. His guitar playing was incredibly beautiful. He has interpretations of modern songs that make them so romantic. He was also a fantastic choice for cocktail hour which got everyone in that relaxed party atmosphere. As a DJ he did a wonderful job of MC'ing the event and playing the requests of the bride and the groom. Overall it was fab to work with Israel!

The music Israel provided for our wedding was outstanding. He played the classical guitar before, during, and after the ceremony. He also plays Bossa Nova/chill music and can play cover songs. We liked that he can sing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese! It was very romantic for a Sunset Cliffs wedding. Israel met with us twice before the big day to showcase his broad array of talents on the guitar (this was the best part!) and also to talk about the types of songs we wanted him to DJ for our reception. He was very accommodating and extremely talented on the guitar. I wish he could have played longer but alas people want a DJ to get them dancing. He also did a great job emceeing the reception. He brought his own set up, lights, microphones, and was very professional. We recommend Israel for any event, but make sure you use him for his greatest talent-the guitar!

Isreal was more than just a great wedding DJ. He played acoustic during our cocktail hour and impressed all the guests with his musical talents. Our reception was held during the day and he still brought lighting, fog, and all the goodies to get all the guests dancing. I was so happy, this was the perfect day, and I would recommend Isreal to anyone.

Isreal was a definitely a 5 star! From his guitar performance during cocktail hour to his DJ-ing throughout the event, we as well as the guests were impressed. His style, way of dress and willing to listen & work with us shows true class that is seldom found these days. If we ever have another special event he will be our man!

Israel is one of the most talented music men in the business. He is an educated professional that knows how to have fun and make others have fun. I found him via a google search for a guitar teacher and then hired him for my wedding. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! He is a solid performer, a great father, a forthright business man. I cannot say enough great things about Israel!

Dj is a key part of a wedding next to the planner because they keep the flow going. I found Israel just searching through Yelp and looking at his videos on YouaTube and just knew he was the Dj for us. We actually did not even meet until the day of the event but I wasn't even worried because he was very good at answering any questions I had. We had special music during our ceremony and he was right on que! I highly recommend his services for your big day or any event! While getting ready he was just playing acustic guitar and hearing that REALLY just CALMED me down and let me enjoy the moments before walking down the aisle.

DJ service was for our school sock hop! Israel was very professional and attended to the kids with a great personality. It was a great event and will definitely use his service again!

As a fellow professional musician, I have known D.J. Israel for over 20 years. I hired him recently for a wedding where I played the ceremony and he played the cocktail hour and DJ for the reception. Israel was super easy to work with and responded to communications with the client in a timely manner. He met with the bride for a consultation as well as with the wedding coordinator on site to ensure a smooth timeline from cocktail hour to the last dance. I would hire D.J. Israel again in a heartbeat because I know my clients will be very happy with him and he is great to work with. Thanks Israel!
