One Stop Shop

We found Music Makers at the SLO Bridal Fair, we were looking for an officiant for my Daughters wedding. I was immediately impressed with John.
We ended up hiring him for the officiant and Photo Booth services since we already had a DJ or so we thought. 2 weeks before the Wedding John contacted the DJ only to find out he booked another event. You could imagine my anxiety level, John came to our rescue and said he would personally DJ my daughter’s Wedding.
Tyler the Officiant did an amazing job, he was bilingual and very sweet. The photo booth crew was very friendly and energetic. John was awesome! He kept out guests dancing all night.
I would highly recommend Music Makers for any event.

Amazing!!!!

Booked for daughters wedding. John was so accommodating. We had a snag and I texted him and he immediately called me from his vacation. Now that is impressive. Pete was our actual DJ and he was amazing. He called and talked to my daughter about all that she wanted and they really connected and Pete was as excited as my daughter. Once the day had arrived Pete was their early and ready to make my daughters day perfect. And he accomplish that. Pete and John are very professional and are all about the bride and groom. This company is defiantly one to use. I can not express how perfect their service was. Thank you John and Pete. You guys are the best!!!!!! : )

Daughters wedding

Our daughters wedding would not have run nearly as smooth as it did without the help of Music makers DJ service. Michelle went above and beyond what we hired them for. The music was perfect all night long, and the lights really added to the event. I felt like the price was more then fair for the services they provided. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks.

Music Makers made our wedding so enjoyable! They had a nice mix of music and definitely used a lot of the music we had requested. We were able to send them a Spotify playlist to get a feel for what we were wanting to hear. Michelle was great and was an added bonus. She went above and beyond what was expected. We highly recommend them to DJ any event!

AMAZING SERVICE!! These two are professional and kind and listened to what we wanted. At the end of the night my grandmother stated she hadn't had a dance with my new husband. John and Michelle plugged everything back in for just one more song and I can't say how much that meant to me!!!

Michelle & John really are the perfect team! Michele was our day of coordinator and John was our DJ. Michelle was hands down the glue that held our wedding together. We worked together for a little less than a year before the wedding. She gave me the best recommendations for vendors, all of who I ended up hiring. We had a meeting every couple of months and then solidified the details 2 weeks before. She ran the rehearsal flawlessly. She also had the best personality to handle the family differences that happen on wedding days. I cannot thank Michelle enough for all that she did handling the hiccups and keeping me stress free. She helped me keep it together as I was about to walk down the aisle. She kept the entire wedding going according to schedule, even pitching in where she could to ensure our day was special. You will not go wrong with Michelle as your wedding coordinator. John was a pleasure to work with too. He kept our guests entertained with the great music selection throughout the night. And turned it up a notch when we got our groove on with awesome lighting. They are extremely professional, friendly, reliable, and down to earth. Their services are very affordable too. I cannot recommend hiring them enough to all couples. You will not regret it!
