Pete Goslow

We had the absolute pleasure of having Pete Goslow as our DJ and musician for our wedding at Botanica in Oceanside, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, Pete was incredibly thorough in his preparation, making sure he understood our vision, music preferences, and the flow of the event. His attention to detail was truly remarkable, ensuring that every moment was perfectly timed and executed. On the day of the wedding, Pete provided incredible flexibility, seamlessly handling song requests and adjusting to the energy of the crowd. He kept the atmosphere lively and fun while making sure everything felt natural and personal to us. His professionalism and talent as both a musician and DJ made a huge impact on our special day, and we received so many compliments from our guests, especially for his live singing during cocktail hour. If you're looking for a DJ who is not only skilled but also adaptable, thoughtful, and deeply committed to making your event unforgettable, Pete is the perfect choice. We are beyond grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing wedding or event experience!

We went through several DJs, musicians, and bands before finding Pete. He’s a classical guitarist who played before our ceremony and a DJ for the first dance and after party. Our guests still tell us a year later we had the most fun dance floor of any wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you Pete for everything and making our wedding the best day ever! The music, lighting, sound for speeches, everything was seamless and flawless, not a single thing could have been better.

Pete Goslow was outstanding and played a huge role in making our wedding such a great experience. From the beginning, it was clear how much pride he takes in his work. Our planning call with him was incredibly thorough. He walked through the entire timeline with us, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure he understood even the small details about how we wanted the night to flow. After that conversation we felt completely confident everything would run smoothly.

One of the things that sets Pete apart is that he offers both DJ services and live acoustic guitar. We had him play guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, and it added such an elegant touch to the evening. His playing created a beautiful atmosphere and made those parts of the day feel really special.

As the DJ for the reception, Pete was fantastic. He kept the night moving on schedule and worked seamlessly with the venue and the other vendors. Most importantly, he understood the exact vibe we wanted for the music. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests had an amazing time.

Everything went exactly according to plan and there were no mistakes or surprises. We were 100 percent satisfied with his work and could not have asked for a better DJ and musician. We highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for someone who is professional, talented, and truly dedicated to making your wedding day perfect.

We loved working with Pete. He was very professional, organized and attentive throughout the entire process. He was great at creating us a timeline for our day which was so helpful to talk through. Day of, he exceeded our expectations with his Dj and MC skills as well as when he played guitar at our cocktail hour. We highly recommend using Pete for your special day!

As a DJ myself, I was impressed with how Pete handled my music selection. He expertly played music catered to the crowd's tastes at the right times, keeping the dance floor occupied. I've given him a track that I produced myself; he was able to mix it into the set perfectly. Towards the end of the night, he managed to turn the dance floor into a nightclub, when only the young people remained. During the cocktail hour, Pete's live music definitely helped to set the mood for the guests. All in all, a great DJ, highly versatile, highly talented! If I were to get married again (let's hope not), I would definitely hire him again.

Pete was instrumental to our wedding at Tivoli Italian Villa in Fallbrook. He got the mics setup for the ceremony, dinnertime speeches, etc, with which there were zero technical difficulties. Everyone said they could hear us loud and clear. He played live instrumentals as we walked down the aisle, which set the tone beautifully. He played and sang live during our cocktail hour, which is such a fun addition that you won't get with other vendors. And as a DJ, he kept the energy high the entire time during the reception. We got so many compliments from our guests that there were never any dead moments during the dancing. Everyone had such a blast.

Best of all, it's very easy to work with Pete. If you have specific requests for certain moments, he's flexible and will make it happen. If there are other details you don't have time to think about, he's a professional that will fill in the gaps for you. You won't have to worry about micromanaging him, he knows exactly what he's doing and will make sure your big day flows perfectly. Thank you Pete!

We had such a blast with Pete as our wedding DJ at Twin Oaks venue in San Marcos. We are a more calm couple and he matched our energy perfectly, every step of the planning process felt so easy and the intimidating task of working through a playlist and timeline was incredibly smooth with Pete’s help and guidance. He was easy to contact, super quick to respond, his playlist building software was easy to use and covered all the needed bases, and he was so encouraging throughout the whole process. Our entrance song and parent dances needed some editing to fit timelines and Pete did a great job, as well as sending us samples for approval or any needed edits. Our venue really relied on the DJ to keep the day moving and the timeline on track and Pete was so easy to work with and kept us on schedule the entire time without us needing to stress, he was sure to cover everything before the wedding so that we could just enjoy the day. He also took care of microphones and audio for our string quartet at the ceremony, and it was all perfectly done. His playlists for dancing were perfect, and we have genuinely had guests tell us about how fantastic the music was and that they had a great time on the dance floor. We really appreciated Pete’s expertise and professionalism and his flexibility in finding a package that fit well within our budget, and we absolutely recommend him for any wedding or event.

We can’t say enough good things about Pete! Prior to our wedding, Pete took the time to meet with us, get to know our music taste, and helped us build a timeline for the evening. He was awesome to work with, and he created the perfect vibe for our wedding! Our guests were so complimentary of Pete too.

We are so grateful he was part of our day & we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a Musician, DJ and Emcee!

Pete, thank you again for sharing your amazing talent with us!!

My now wife and I had such a great experience from start to finish with Pete.

From the beginning Pete was responsive and open to all of our requests, which were many. He stayed responsive and prompt throughout the entire planning process--something we can not say about a majority of the other vendors we hired.

The predominant request was not to play the same old tired wedding songs (Shout! YMCA! Don't Stop Believin', Bruno Mars, Black Eyed Peas, etc.), and stick to a pre-made list of songs.

My wife had four separate playlists of 50s-60s for dinner, 70s rock for cocktail and then 80s, 90s, and 2000s for the third hour and current songs for the last hour. These were each also 4 hours long as she has trouble narrowing down her choices (except who she wants tO marry thankfully ;) ). We sent these to Pete along with a "must play" list of songs from each of these but then gave him free discretion to play songs from our ready made lists based on the dance floor mood. He did great by every measure.

We were married at The Havens in Vista, CA. For those not familiar, the ceremony takes place outside and requires an escort by golf cart as absolutely no walking is allowed. Although we had a string quartet for the ceremony, Pete still happily set up all the microphones and speakers for the ceremony. He even mic'd the string quartet (his suggestion as we did not know it would be needed). He then performed acoustic guitar and sang beautifully on the patio outside the reception hall during cocktail hour. Finally, his third setup was indoors for the dinner and dancing portion. Pete arrived right on time and we observed him hustling and sweating to move all of the equipment. There were never any issues with delays or setup.

The other big request was that a certain family member not ever get a microphone. Not to try and sing during cocktail hour and not to make a speech during dinner. Neither of these happened thankfully and the family member was an issue as our coordinator dropped the ball completely on keeping her out of the bridal suite.

All in all Pete was the perfect choice and we would highly recommend him for any even you have. he is outstanding at his job and we are really grateful to him for making our wedding so much better by following through on all his promises.

From day 1, Pete was a blast to work with. He was very communicative and provided clear instructions for what he needed from us and what he could provide. We had him play classical music during the ceremony and a playlist inspired by our favorite songs during the reception, and on the day of everything went incredibly smoothly. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!
