About

Jeff continues to be a highly sought after DJ/MC even after a career spanning over 26 years. He started his DJ career in the night club industry where he worked for over 9 years at clubs all over Southern California including San Diego, Orange County and even Hawaii. He’s and award winning DJ too, having been voted “Entertainer of the Year” from over 50 other DJ’s within the night club chain he worked for. This is where he also honed all of his mixing skills on the turntables and his intuitive ability to read a crowd and program the music to get the best out of every partygoer he’s ever spun a disc for.

Since moving on to the Mobile DJ Industry, Jeff has been a part of a countless amount of different and diverse types of events. “That’s what keeps it exciting for me” Jeff says about the mobile industry. “I get to be a part of something unique & different every weekend and Iget to spin all different types of music, which I enjoy immensely and I get to meet new people from all walks of life.” He understands the impact the music will make on an event and he strives to be the most accommodating DJ to all his diverse clients.

When it comes to Weddings a lot of couples will hire a DJ based on price alone and that’s a huge mistake says Jeff. “It’s sad & amazing, but 78% of all brides polled after their wedding said they would have spent more of their budget and time on finding a higher quality DJ.” “Most couples will only spend about 2% of their total budget on the entertainment but what they don’t realize is that the entertainment is responsible for roughly 90% of its success.” “I love being a part of this most memorable affair in a couple’s life. There’s this intoxicating mood at everyone and I get to share in this wonderful bond for life with all my couples.” “I take the “less is better” approach when being on the microphone at a wedding.” Jeff says. He is by far not one of those “Cheesy DJ’s’ people talk so much about. “There is a way to have a really great time without turning the reception into a circus” Jeff is a Master at the “Art of being a DJ”.

He’s also been the DJ for many discriminating high profile clients as well, but he’s not one to boast or drop a name. “Discretion is the name of the game when it comes to these types of parties” he says.

“Corporate parties are a blast” he says. “I’ve worked on so many company events over the years and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many other great talents as well. I’ve been the warm up act for Sugar Ray, Shaggy, Blues Traveler and many others. I have one of the coolest jobs in the world! Why would I ever want to stop?”

“So turn down the lights and let’s get this party jumpin’”

Jeff was our DJ for our wedding this past weekend and he was INCREDIBLE! Since we were planning our wedding from 2,000 miles away, I wanted to be sure that we picked the 'right' DJ for us....Jeff truly went above & beyond! From our very first meeting, he was very helpful in giving us options when it came to the song list. He is attentive, responsive to calls/emails, and a true professional!

Our guests literally danced the entire night and loved the music that he played. He was awesome. We wanted our wedding to be one in which the guests constantly danced and it was that - thanks to Jeff!!!

Get a bigger dance floor, you'll need it!!! Jeff will have everyone on their feet from the first song until the very end, and they won't want it to end! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. Every song was a great one and my 86 year old grandmother was on the dance floor all night!
Jeff is very professional and will spend time with you to understand who you are and what you like so he can give you an incredibly fun evening. The title DJ just doesn't fit him, he is far more talented, more professional, and certainly not cheesy in any way shape or form. Hire him! He will not disappoint and you will have a blast!

If you want a true professional, award-winning, and experienced DJ, then Jeff is the right DJ for you. A DJ’s job at a wedding is critical. It is the music and MC’ing that set the tone for the whole event. We are very picky, and interviewed other DJ’s, some even that were less expensive: however, we found their inexperience, lack of “personality” and overall talent to be unsatisfactory and it seemed, they would just use a playlist. Jeff led us thorough the reception process from the beginning to the end and he definitely knew what he is doing, which showed clearly at our reception. The introductions were perfect and everything happened on cue. He “read” our difficult audience and played the right songs at the right time to get EVERYONE dancing, from age 9 to age 81, even the lady in the wheelchair participated. It wasn’t just for one song either; the guests danced the entire evening! The music was delivered in perfect sound and had the perfect level of amplification. We have many hard-of-hearing guests and they were able to hear, yet the music pumped the dance floor. It was also the right level for the other events, such as cake-cutting, etc. Do not hesitate to hire Jeff. He is a very gifted artist and I would recommend him for any type of audience involved. I will be forever thankful that he worked at our reception.

I cannot thank Jeff enough for his amazing talent as an M.C. and Dj! My husband and I recently got married on 1/9/2016 and we haven't stopped receiving compliments on our Dj, music and how fun the dance floor was! We had an 8 hour reception from 4-midnight (crazy, I know!) that we anticipated dying off early because, well, 8 hours of dancing and drinking following a 2:30pm ceremony is just a really long day! The complete opposite of what we anticipated happened, the venue was literally asking people to leave the dance floor after midnight and nobody wanted to! So awesome!
Jeff's level of professionalism and expertise was something anybody would be blown away by. He looks the part, plays the part and deserves the part over any other Dj I've ever encountered! I am not just being biased because he worked my personal wedding, it is a very cool feeling to be able to say "the best Dj I've ever seen at a wedding was at my very own!"
He took the upmost pride in his pre-wedding preparation! Jeff made a point to perfect name pronunciations, which wasn't easy considering we had polish and Italian wedding party members and he didn't miss a beat! He met with my husband and I a few times to make sure he really understood who we are, what we like and what we expected of our big day. He exceeded any expectation we had and we genuinely cannot thank him enough! The most important factor to an excellent party is music and energy. Jeff sets the tone and keeps it going all night long! If you want an absolute blast of a party that people WILL compliment you on later, definitely choose this incredible Dj!

I would highly recommend Jeff Holmes as your wedding DJ. He listens to his clients. He played all the music we requested. I've been to weddings where the music is so loud to the point where you can't even carry a conversation with other people at your table. Not with Jeff Holmes. He plays his music at the perfect decibel, not too loud and not too soft. He used very sleek, slim Bose speakers at our wedding that looked very classy and modern. He is an all around great guy and I would recommend him.

Jeff was an great person to work with. From the beginning, he sat down with us to get to know us and find out what we envisioned for the wedding. He went through song, after song, to ensure that we found music that suited our personalities perfectly. He had great presence at the wedding and kept people on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend him for his professionalism and great personality.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
