Holmes Entertainment SoCal

DJ Holmes (Michael Ontiveros) is a professional DJ and MC based in San Diego with 15+ years of experience. He has performed at hundreds of weddings and events throughout Southern California and internationally, including weddings in Vietnam and club residencies there. His experience spans all kinds of music, cultures, crowds, and venues, from intimate gatherings to events with 1,000+ guests.

Michael takes a hands-on approach to every event. He mixes live, blends songs, reads the room, and pays close attention to what’s happening on the dance floor. His music can move from disco hits to 2000s hip-hop, Latin classics, country favorites, modern EDM, emo classics, and everything in between. Your music preferences come first. Michael makes sure you hear the songs and styles you actually want, then uses his experience, musical instincts, and ability to improvise to build the right soundtrack for the crowd and the moment.

As an MC, Michael handles announcements, introductions, special moments, and games if that’s what the couple wants. He’s confident and engaging on the mic, while keeping things clear, natural, and never cheesy or annoying.

Multiple consultations are provided leading up to each event to discuss music, timing, announcements, special moments, and anything else that matters. Michael offers guidance based on years of experience while keeping the couple’s vision at the center. On the wedding day, he’s all hands on deck, working closely with coordinators, vendors, and family while staying engaged with the people in the room. He’ll introduce himself to your parents, shake hands with Grandpa, check in with vendors, and stay aware of what’s happening throughout the day. When timelines change or adjustments need to be made, he’s paying attention.

Professional-grade sound and lighting equipment is used throughout the event, with dance floor lighting and uplighting available. Michael arrives hours before the event to set up, sound check, and make sure everything is ready before guests arrive.

His goal is to give couples the peace of mind that their wedding is in good hands and book him with the confidence that they have DJ who knows how to rock a party.
