The Best Wedding DJ!

We cannot recommend Joshua enough! He was so kind and professional and truly adding something special to our wedding day. First of all, this man dresses to perfection - something that we really appreciated as it added to his professionalism and vibe for the day. Second of all, he was extremely detailed leading up to the wedding with multiple check in conversations and tons of questions to help give him guidance as to what we were looking for.
We had multiple people come up to us throughout the wedding to compliment how good he was and he brought so much fun to our dance floor at the end of the night. We can't recommend him enough!!

Our dream wedding

Josh didn't just do his job—he went above and beyond. From the moment our reception started, he kept our guests engaged, involved, and entertained, making sure everyone had an amazing time.
We are so grateful we chose him as our DJ and would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. He played a huge role in creating a fun, unforgettable celebration that our guests are still talking about. Even a week after the wedding, we were receiving compliments about how much fun everyone had and how fantastic Josh, don't hesitate to book Josh. You won't regret it!

Best DJ - Hire Him!

Josh was an amazing DJ. He really wanted to get the essence of us as a couple and who our guests were going to be. I was an out of town bride and he made everything so seamless and easy that it didn’t feel like we met him on the day of our wedding. He kept the vibes high and everyone dancing. Thanks Josh for proving an amazing experience!

We love music by j. Fields!

I can’t say enough positive things about Joshua and his assistant Danny. I may be biased since it was my wedding, but I’ve been to a LOT of weddings and they were the best DJs I’ve encountered by far. They interacted with our guests the perfect amount, kept the dance party going until the very end, and were excellent emcees, making everything seamless. They actually mixed the songs together and didn’t just hit play on a playlist, which we loved. We rated our guests a 7/10 on the dance floor before the wedding, but after Joshua and Danny worked their magic, we are upping that to a 10/10. Our wedding was so much fun and Joshua and Danny were a big part of that!

Kept the Party Going!

DJ Fields was an amazing part of our wedding. He was accommodating to our music requests, read the dance floor, and kept the party going all night long. We were super impressed with how he assisted the mother of the groom for getting set up for her speech. 10/10 we recommend DJ Fields for your wedding!

The best DJ + Host on the West Coast!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Joshua Fields of Music by J Fields. As both a bride and a seasoned luxury event planner, I went into my own wedding knowing exactly how high the bar needed to be. When you live in this industry, you don’t get the luxury of hiring “good enough” — you hire the best. Joshua didn’t just meet the bar, he raised it.

From the very beginning, his professionalism and process stood out. Before the wedding, Joshua scheduled a thoughtful consultation call with us to truly understand our vision, our vibe, and the kind of experience we wanted our guests to have. He didn’t skim the surface — he asked intentional questions about music preferences, cultural moments, emotional beats, and flow. He also collaborated seamlessly with our event coordinator, which made the entire production feel cohesive and elevated. On top of that, he uses an innovative app that allowed us to upload and organize our music selections in a way I’ve honestly never seen in the industry. Most DJs still rely on basic spreadsheets — this felt modern, streamlined, and reflective of someone who genuinely cares about client experience.

The day of the wedding, Joshua’s impact was felt immediately. The transition from ceremony to reception was flawless. The moment our officiant exited, Joshua confidently stepped in with the microphone, warmly welcoming guests and setting the tone for the night ahead. He gave clear, polished directions for cocktail hour, built excitement for the evening, and made everyone feel like they were part of something special. It didn’t feel like announcements — it felt like hosting.

And that’s really the difference: Joshua is not just a DJ, he is an elite emcee and host. He made the entire night feel like a high-end gala. Guests repeatedly told us how VIP the experience felt and how incredible our emcee was. I couldn’t agree more.

One of the most meaningful and impactful details was his execution of walk-up music for each person giving a toast. This elevated every speaker and made each moment feel intentional and celebrated. For my mom’s walk-up, Joshua played “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones — my late father’s favorite song. That moment was deeply emotional and personal, and Joshua handled it with such care and thoughtfulness. He didn’t just press play — he honored the moment.

Visually and professionally, he also showed up fully aligned with our design. Our dress code was Shades of Love, and Joshua came dressed to the nines in a stunning merlot-colored suit that complemented our aesthetic beautifully. His DJ team matched the same level of polish, and the overall presence added to the elevated atmosphere of the night.

And when it came time for the reception? The dance floor was alive. We specifically requested 2000s R&B all night, and Joshua delivered perfectly. The energy never dipped. The transitions were smooth, the pacing was spot-on, and the floor stayed moving. He seamlessly balanced being on the mic as a host while also getting on the mixer himself and reading the room like a true professional.

From a bride’s perspective, from a planner’s perspective, from a design-forward perspective, and from an industry expert’s perspective — Joshua is exceptional.

I recommend Music by J Fields without hesitation. If you want your event to feel elevated, intentional, seamless, and unforgettable, hire Joshua.

An Amazing Night with Joshua!

My (now) wife and I were introduced to Joshua via a mutual connection. Our biggest wish going into our wedding was to have a great time dancing with all of our family and friends - however one of our biggest concerns was my partner and I's music taste, and how most of our daily songs aren't 'dancing' music. From the moment we met Joshua via our intro call, we felt confident that he was going to be the DJ for us - he was prepared and professional, he had access to all the right equipment, and had the ability to adapt on the fly to whatever came his way (even with last minute MC additions my wife and I made 24 hours before our wedding). Beyond the planning sessions, where Joshua helped build up our confidence in our music selections while also including his professional recommendations - on the day of the wedding he showed up early to setup his equipment, and to confirm any last minute changes that we had made. After the ceremony and speeches, he got the dance floor absolutely popping off! (I wish I could share some photos here).

10/10 would recommend, absolutely worth every dollar, and we are so happy we were able to include Joshua on my wife and I's special day. Thank you so much!!

Exceptional DJ Service from Start to Finish

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding DJ, Josh. From the very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. He took the time to understand our style, our timeline, and the type of energy we wanted throughout the day, which made us feel completely at ease leading up to the wedding.

His setup and breakdown were extremely professional and impressively timely — he arrived early, coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors, and made sure everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about a single thing. Throughout the night, he was a huge help with all of our announcements and kept the flow of the reception effortless and organized.

Most importantly, our guests had an amazing time. We received so many compliments about the music and the overall vibe of the evening, and that’s all thanks to Josh’s ability to read the room and keep the dance floor full. He balanced our requests perfectly with what kept the crowd excited and engaged.

If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, personable, and truly dedicated to making your wedding unforgettable, Josh is the one. We’re so grateful he was a part of our day.
