The Best DJ & an Incredible Couple to Work With!

We absolutely LOVE John and his wife, Cyndi! From the moment we booked them—initially complete strangers—to our rehearsal and wedding day, they made us feel like we had a family member celebrating alongside us rather than a vendor we had hired.

Because of our schedules, we had several meetings over Zoom, although John and Cyndi preferred meeting in person whenever possible. Throughout the entire process, they took the time to get to know us, listen to what we wanted, and make sure our vision came to life.

On the wedding rehearsal day, John went above and beyond! He helped coordinate two family members who provided live musical performances, kept the party going, and somehow managed to get people on the dance floor all night long—even during a heat wave! John’s energy and dedication was incredible.

The lighting John set up in our reception hall was absolutely magical! Our reception room was already beautiful, but his lighting brought it to life and created an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel even more special. John is an incredibly hard worker who was constantly on the move, making sure everything ran smoothly. He worked tirelessly and didn't even seem to take a break!

Our guests loved him, too! We had multiple guests tell us he was one of the best wedding DJs they had ever experienced. Another guest specifically mentioned how great the music was, and my mom especially appreciated & was amused that John stepped in to help fill the gap for family members who weren't able to attend our wedding rehearsal. Those thoughtful little things meant so much to us.

One of the biggest bonuses was that John already knew our wedding coordinator, Lexi. The three of them worked together so seamlessly and effortlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. Their teamwork helped create the smooth, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience we had hoped for.

John and Cyndi, thank you for treating us like family and putting so much heart into our wedding day. You didn't just provide music and entertainment; you helped create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ team, and we would recommend DJ Syndicate to anyone looking for people who genuinely care about making their event extraordinary!

And finally, one of our family members has already requested a 10-year vow renewal so we can do it all over again! So, John and Cyndi, we hope you're available on October 3, 2036, because we may just need you back for round two!

With love and much gratitude,
Sal & Shannon Cisneros ❤️

The best DJ

Johnny was amazing! He DJ’d my mom’s 75th birthday party and kept the party moving all night long. Weeks later, my mom and so many of our guests are still telling me how great he was and how much fun they had.

He was professional, engaging, knew exactly how to read the room, and made the entire night feel special. Johnny was truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend him enough for any event you’re planning. We’ll definitely be calling him again! Thank you, Johnny!

Definitely recommend!

My husband and I hired John for our wedding in January and he did not disappoint! These days it’s really hard to find someone who does it all, and with grace and a smile…well let me tell you John is your guy! Every detail was combed through with such care and intention. Not only did he make sure to go through every single detail with us, he went above and beyond to meet with us several times at our venue to ensure the day was going to go as smooth as possible! He and his wife are an amazing duo and really put a lot of care and heart into what they do. Not only was John our dj, but he was an MC extraordinaire ! He really knew how to engage our wedding reception crowd and make things so easy for everyone involved in the planning of that day. He even went out of his way to serve my husband and I our first plate as husband and wife. Like really? Wow! I definitely recommend John for your special event, because rest assured he will make sure he executes your vision as if it was his own. We are truly grateful for John and still have guests talk about how great he was and how he kept the party going all night!

Best DJ in Southern CA!!!

If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your event unforgettable, look no further! We had the absolute best experience with our DJ. From the very beginning, John and Cyndi were incredibly informative, responsive, and helpful, especially when it came to creating and organizing our reception timeline. Both made sure everything was well planned and kept us informed every step of the way. The music was AMAZING! John played all of our requested songs that we provided ahead of time and truly knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night long. Everyone had such a great time and the DJ music was definitely a big hit at our wedding! John kept the reception flowing smoothly, made sure everyone knew what was happening next, and kept the energy going throughout the entire evening. Everything felt organized, seamless, and fun. John and Cyndi genuinely care about making your event special. Professional, reliable, responsive, and knows exactly how to get everyone on the dance floor!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.

Best DJ of all time

I had John as my DJ for my wedding, the experience was fantastic. John and Cindi came to me and my fiancé about our music preferences. They helped us plan the timing of the event and flow of each activity. They even put together a song request list from us ahead of time. During our wedding John did a great job communicating with us and ensuring we were on track with timing. He even stayed an extra 30 minutes when we found out the venue was closing at 12:30 instead of 12. The song choice was outstanding, he did a fantastic job when he hyped up the crowd before our grand entrance and bride and groom dance. I received several compliments from my wedding guests about John.

Andrew and Kaitlyn Wedding

We just wanted to say thank you again for a wonderful experience at our wedding at the LA Arboretum! All of our guests kept saying they loved our DJ. You were an integral part of making our day a success and were a pleasure to work with. We especially loved the grand entrance, the “Be Our Guest” sing-along at dinner, the Bluey “Dance Mode” song that got everyone on the dance floor, and the Horah! Thanks!

Best LA Arboretum Dance Party!

We were extremely happy with John and Cyndi.
We sent inquires to several DJs and John and Cyndi responded the fastest and were extremely friendly from the start. We appreciated the in person meetings to go over details. They were flexible in incorporating recorded songs and our own mashups.
During the wedding, Everyone got on the dance floor! John did a perfect mixture of modern and classics to include everyone.
John's emceeing also helped the night flow smoothly!
And We loved the lights for our wedding. It was the perfect warm party vibe!
The sound was also the perfect volume-enough for dancing but not painful to the ears.

Would highly recommend John and Cyndi!

Super fun wedding!

John created a great reception vibe and sound for our wedding. From the lighting to the music, he made the entire night fun and had everyone on the dance floor. He and Cyndi are very responsive and helpful throughout the planning and have great suggestions. Definitely consider them for your wedding! Thanks John!

A great team!

We really enjoyed working with Cyndi and John. They were so well organized and had all the details down for the day of our wedding. John was awesome on the day, serving as emcee of the whole event beyond just music. He helped us with things like releasing tables for dinner and getting everyone pumped for a photo dash. Plus the dance floor was full all night! Young and old folks, everyone loved it. We are so glad we went with a DJ who treated us like family rather than a contractor from a large company.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
