Amazing DJ

DJ Big Cali was a phenomenal choice for our wedding. We were married on October 27th (outdoor wedding/indoor reception) and it was perfect! Cali made sure the music for each part was correct and the timing for each part was perfect. And of course, everyone had an amazing time dancing at the reception, which was very important to us. In addition, every time I had questions/needed contacts for other vendors, he was there to answer our questions and connect us with the right people! Super helpful and just a fun, reliable and genuine person!! Thank you, DJ Big Cali!!

Go dj... That's my dj

Go DJ, that's my DJ!

Let me start by saying I almost don't want to write this review because I want DJ Big Cali to be my dj...but sharing is caring lol. From the first meeting, I could feel the vibes through the computer screen. It was clear that DJ Big Cali has a presence and would keep the party going. Throughout the planning process, he was super responsive. He had an app that really helped to guide us, think about what we were going for, and gave us song inspo. The reception was everything and more! Highly recommend going with DJ Big Cali for your wedding, birthday, party...any and everything.

Best DJ Ever!!

We HIGHLY recommend booking DJ Big Cali for your wedding! He brought the energy and the vibe throughout the entire wedding day. The dance floor was never empty and that’s entirely thanks to his ability to read the crowd, mix seamlessly, and keep the vibes high. We had a few Turkish songs we wanted to play and were a little nervous at how everything would flow together. But DJ Big Cali did not miss a beat and made everything flow while keeping the energy high!

We were looking for a DJ who would not only play amazing music but also emcee the evening and help the flow of the wedding. From our first interaction with DJ Big Cali, we knew we wanted to book him. His energy is infectious and he is extremely professional and kind! His pricing was a little bit more than we wanted to spend but we absolutely got what we paid for and he was worth every penny!! Also loved that he had the option to add on the photo booth, which our guests really enjoyed!

Our guests are still telling us how much fun they had at our wedding and we owe that in huge part to DJ Big Cali leading the day! He is the best of the best and we cannot recommend him enough!

Thee Best Dj Hands Down!

DJ Big Cali (James) was hands-down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! From the very first call, James' bright, thoughtful demeanor and deep knowledge of both weddings and music instantly put us at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but James brought back the excitement we were starting to lose. He didn’t just play music—he brought joy, energy, and clarity to the entire process.

From that initial conversation, we knew we were in expert hands. He listened to our vision, asked thoughtful questions we hadn’t even considered, and guided us toward the best decisions for our perfect day. The entire process felt seamless and stress-free, and that was 100% because of James.

On the day of the wedding, he showed up early, efficiently set up, and was ready to go before we were. That level of professionalism is rare—and so appreciated! But what truly blew us away was the music. It was PERFECT. Every moment—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—felt like it was scored to the soundtrack of our love story. It was like he could read our minds. He played everything we requested and filled in the gaps with songs we hadn’t thought of but fit the vibe exactly.

DJ Big Cali’s energy was electric and genuine, and his ability to engage everyone—from our youngest cousins to our grandparents—was nothing short of magical. People are still telling us how incredible our DJ was, and we couldn’t agree more. He wasn’t just our DJ—he was our hype man, MC, and musical guide. Truly, a connoisseur of all things sound and celebration.

And to add the cherry on top—James partnered with the best photobooth attendant, Destinee from SnapdChronicles. Her friendly, welcoming, and professional vibe made our guests feel so comfortable and excited, many took multiple photos! She managed the little ones who wanted their time to shine and gently helped position our elders to make sure they were perfectly framed.

Together, DJ Big Cali and Destinee were the Dynamic DUO. The energy, coordination, and care they brought made our day even more memorable.

James, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You brought life, rhythm, and joy to our day in a way that words can’t fully capture. We are forever grateful. If anyone is looking for the BEST DJ experience for their wedding—look no further than DJ Big Cali.

Laura and Daniel's Wedding

I was lucky enough to find out about DJ Big Cali from a friend of mine who went to high school with him. I told my friend I'm looking for the best DJ money can buy for my wedding. I met with Cali to discuss my interest and was greeted like family. After booking him he made it very easy to customize my experience and I began to hype him up to all of the guests on my wedding list. To say the least he exceeded our expectations and ended up being one of the highlights of our special day. As long as you tell him what you need to, Big Cali will deliver. Money well spent and I would recommend him to anyone hosting an event in need of a DJ.

Best DJ ever!!!

Dj Big Cali was the best dj we could’ve ever ask for. He is professional, fun, and just a joy to work with. He was on time and on point with everything. 12/10 dj’ing abilities and definitely knew how to keep the party going. So many of our guests told us it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding and we know it was because of him. Couldn’t recommend him more!

BEST DJ for any event- especially wedding!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding this past May! From the moment the reception started, he brought incredible energy, read the room perfectly, and had everyone on the dance floor — from our grandparents to our oldest friends. He didn’t just play music — he was the life of the party!

The transitions were flawless, the playlist was on point, and he took guest requests like a pro while still keeping the vibe exactly how we wanted it. People are still talking about how amazing our DJ was — we’ve gotten so many compliments from guests saying it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to, and he played a huge part in that.

If you're looking for someone who can truly elevate your celebration and create unforgettable memories, look no further. This DJ made our night absolutely epic. Highly, highly recommend!

Thank you DJ Big Cali!!!

We had DJ Big Cali DJ our wedding in May and we’re so impressed with his skill, professionalism and commitment to our event. He had an app to prepare for our big day that was very user friendly, we also had a zoom call with him when the date got closer. It was so reassuring to have the zoom call to all get on the same page and get excited for our big day! The day of the event everything went smoothly, he really brought the party and our guests loved it! Would 100% recommend DJ Big Cali.

James set the Tone!

James set the tone for our wedding! My whole family mentioned how good of a DJ we had. He knew how to get everyone dancing and definitely matched the vibe everyone was feeling. Even the first phone call I knew off the bat it was going to be a good time, his communication and just talking with James over the phone to plan everything is just a vibe. Thank you for keeping that energy up through out the wedding and glad we went with you! I definitely recommend booking.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
