About

For well over 2200 weddings, and countless other events, we have been giving our clients entertainment they didn't think was possible. Our success comes from delivering what you want AND making sure your guests feel with their hearts.

The award-winning staff at Function 45 set out to change the way events are designed, produced, and entertained. Our attention and dedication to each event is unique, makes an impact, and leaves people saying "How'd they do that?"

The idea is simple. Combine great performance with unique entertainment ideas. This combo delivers remarkable results. When that happens, you & your guests feel something they don't forget. By stepping outside the "box", We're able to continually do what others say is impossible. We hear "Wow, this is the best wedding I've ever been to" week in and week out. With us it's the rule, not the exception.

When you book us, it makes you look like you know the secret. In fact your guests will feel so good they just won't want to leave, and that makes us feel pretty good.

From professional DJ and Master of Ceremony services to lighting, Photobooths, and Video production, we have services that engage people. When all these services come from within the same company, the timing, flow and smoothness of everything is outstanding. Does that mean you have to use all of our services? Not at all. We play well with others. Sometimes it's just a bit easier to get them all in one place. Especially if that place has a reputation of integrity like Function 45.

With that said, we'd love to talk with you. Give us a call or send an email

We have offices that you can spend a little time at to relax and talk details. Or if you'd like, we can come to you. Either way, let's talk about how we can help you get what you want.

Steve is an absolute pro!

During our first phone meeting, Steve earned our trust through his vast knowledge, kind nature, and innovative ideas for engaging with guests. He truly listened to our vision for the wedding and cared about reflecting it authentically. Many people mentioned how incredible the DJ was and asked if we knew him personally, since he catered to our personalities and shared why certain songs were important to us as a couple.

On the wedding day, he skillfully flowed through each phase of the event’s timeline. Steve’s expertise was proven by “reading the room” and pivoting as needed to keep folks on the dance floor. He was a pleasure to collaborate with and we’d hire him again in a heartbeat. We cannot recommend him enough!

Couldn't imagine the day without Steve!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Steve from Function 45! From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with and truly made our wedding day seamless. What stood out most was how personal he made the experience — nothing felt “canned” or cookie-cutter. He took the time to get to know us, our personalities, and what mattered to us, and then tied those little touches into the day in such thoughtful ways.

Steve guided us through the planning process with great suggestions while still making sure the day felt completely our own. On the wedding day, he read the room — and even the smallest cues — perfectly, picking up on things we hadn’t even noticed. Because of that, the energy and flow of the day felt effortless.

We also booked lighting and the photo booth through Steve, and now we couldn’t imagine our wedding without them. The lighting completely transformed the space and set the perfect atmosphere, while the photo booth was such a hit with our guests — we’re still laughing at some of the photos!

Since the wedding, we’ve had guests texting us nonstop about how incredible Steve was. More than a few have even said they wish they could get married again just to have him as their DJ!

If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, who will make your celebration feel special, unique, and unforgettable, Steve is that person. We are beyond grateful he was part of our wedding.

He brought the party!

DJ Steve was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, he made the planning process so easy and stress-free. He really listened to the vibe we wanted and absolutely nailed it—from the ceremony to the last song of the night.

He was an amazing MC, keeping everything flowing smoothly and bringing the perfect energy to every part of the night. The intros were full of hype, and once the dance floor opened, it stayed electric the entire time—exactly what we were hoping for! Our guests were dancing all night long, and we’re still getting compliments about how fun the party was.

He also brought some fun surprises with lighting and effects that took the experience to the next level. DJ Steve was such a key part of making our wedding so memorable and fun—we couldn’t recommend him more!

🎶 The Life of the Party! 🎶

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ/MC than Steve from Function 45! From our very first meeting, he was professional, attentive, and truly committed to making our wedding unforgettable.

Steve didn’t just play music; he created an experience. His energy, charisma, and seamless transitions made every moment feel special. From the heartfelt introductions to the perfectly timed announcements and the high-energy dance sets, he kept the vibe exactly where it needed to be.

We also got the photobooth through Steve, and it was perfect! We didn’t have to worry about setup or anything — everything was taken care of seamlessly. Our guests had a blast taking fun photos and leaving us heartfelt (and hilarious) video messages. It was such a hit and added an extra layer of fun to the night!

If I knew then what I know now, I would pay double for Steve because he truly had the biggest impact on the night. Out of all of our amazing vendors, we received the most compliments on Steve! He brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded every expectation.

He also handled last-minute requests and curveballs with absolute ease, ensuring the night went off without a hitch. Whether it was the perfect slow song during a tender moment or a party anthem that had everyone cheering, Steve absolutely nailed it! Even my out-of-town guests were asking how they could get Steve to Texas for their daughter’s wedding.

If you’re looking for someone who knows how to read the room, keep the party alive, and make every guest feel included, Function 45 is the answer. Thank you for making our wedding so much fun and so memorable, Steve! You were truly the MVP of the night! 🎤💃

Best Campsite Wedding Ever

We had an outdoor wedding at a campsite that included minimal electrical connections for the DJ and roaring rapids along the river, American River Resort in Coloma. Function 45 showed up with all the equipment needed for a good time and a mic for our officant. After the wedding I got so many complicates on the dance party portion and everyone came up to me expressing how much fun the DJ was. We also got some cool lights that went with the beat of the music, highly recommend this add-on!

The best dj ever!

Steve was the dj for our wedding recently. Leading up to the wedding, about 2 weeks before, we had a 45 minute phone call with him to plan every aspect of our day. Then, we did a quick check in a few days before to review everything. We felt so at ease with the plan and Steve answered so many of our questions. On the day of the wedding, we can’t even put into words how amazing he was. During the ceremony, he looped and faded our music perfectly. The reception was perfect. Dj Steve literally got everyone on the dance floor. People we haven’t seen dance we’re out having the best time. He did so many special unique touches throughout the night. So many people came up to us throughout the night saying this was the best dj they have ever seen. I would recommend Steve to anyone planning a wedding. Your wedding will be lively and fun!!

Above and beyond entertainment

Steve puts the FUN in Function45! He kept all the guests out on the dance floor all night. He gave us wonderful ideas for keeping guests entertained as well as adding our special touches throughout the night. He played all of our must have songs, even my quirky special ones. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve multiple times now and we know he’s the best in the business. Thank you so much Steve for making our night unforgettable!

DJ Steve is epic!

Steve was such an amazing DJ! Not only did he help us with music selection but he added in some fun twists that we had never experienced at a wedding before. Thank you so much for such an amazing night!

We loved working with Steve and highly recommend him to be your wedding DJ/MC.

Steve was fantastic and made our wedding so much fun and enjoyable. He kept the pace and rhythm going throughout our ceremony, dinner, and dancing. We had two check-in calls with him prior to our wedding where he went in detail about our song choices, schedule, and made sure how to pronounce everyone's names (a lor our guests had Chinese names). Steve also promptly responded to our questions over email or text. I appreciated how Steve had creative ideas for how to make our wedding more personal, including different options for the ceremony, how to introduce each member of our wedding party, and options for how to entertain guests during the reception. Additionally, his song choices are stellar and he was able to gauge the mood of the audience and adjusted music and dancing accordingly. I was so pleasantly surprised that he got our guests to dance (we didn't think our guest list would be the dancing type). I think Steve picked up that our guests liked to sing, so he played a lot of songs that everyone could sing and dance to at the same time such as Mr. Brightside, Don't Stop Believin', Taylor Swift songs, Britney Spears songs, etc. I also loved that Steve had add-on items such as a photo booth, uplights, and a bubble machine. I highly recommend all three as they really enhanced the vibe of our dance floor!

You Won't be DISAPPOINTED!!! Steve is Amazing

We can't say enough good things about Steve from Function 45. Steve is not only a DJ but the voice of your celebration from start to finish, and he rocked it out of the park. Not only did he keep things going for us, but he had all these additional personal touches that made things even better than we could have even hoped for. His attention to detail both when he meets with you and the day of made this vendor so easy to work with. He kept the dance floor going as well as accommodating our special request. If you don't want to stress over a wedding DJ, please call Function 45. I promise he won't disappoint. Also, the photobooth service he has, pick that option our guest loved it and we can wait to see the videos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Steve Schon is one of the most talents DJ's in the Sacramento region- and probably one of the best in the nation. He has a GOLDEN voice perfect for any wedding and event. He is also outstanding when working with other wedding professionals. I was delayed in traveling from a wedding ceremony in Placerville- and Steve waited to start the bridal party introductions at the reception until I had arrived and was prepared to film. Only the best DJ's would have given that consideration.

We worked with Steve at a recent wedding event. He made such touching additions to the music and entertainment. Great and thoughtful music mixes and fun. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
