Fernando is in a class of his own: Bar none. Book immediately.

If you are in-the-know in Tucson, one must truly be exceptional to be on the preferred vendor list at Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch, and Fernando is the go-to man.

Everything Fernando does as a DJ is carefully curated:

-Our wedding playlist from his cell phone app where I could make notes on when to play a certain song, or if I wanted feedback.

-Equipment: Fernando always had at least one backup plan, and invests in quality. This is ESPECIALLY important if you are going to have a summer wedding in the desert.

-Dedication to excellence: Outside of weddings Fernando is always honing his skills and developing his craft.

-Honesty: Fernando would always tell me when something was not a good idea, or what could make something better and over the top. I relied on his judgement calls outside of music because he is familiar with the vendor market, and how weddings are year round.

-The Suits: Move over James Bond. Fernando has better threads and creds.

My guests and family could not stop saying how much they loved how Fernando kept the music going throughout the night, including those who claimed they were bad dancers and managed to get on the dance floor with PASSION.

I cannot thank you enough Fernando for your help on making our wedding phenomenal and special.

As the mother of the bride and a wedding planner, working with Fernando is a true joy. Time and time again, he brings the energy my clients ask for and honestly he raised the bar for my daughter. He is an incredible emcee and his lighting gear, cold sparklers and array of DJ booths will compliment any aesthetic. Working with his clients to curate the perfect wedding soundtrack is his super power. My daughter and son-in-law requested a very festival-like EDM vibe and Fernando delivered. Honestly, his smooth transitions and perfectly mixed song choices made us feel like we dancing at our own Coachella. If you're looking for a modern, versatile DJ that will keep the dance floor filled all night- hire Raza Entertainment.~ Atelier de LaFleur

Fernando was fabulous from start to finish! A lot of the DJs we had looked into seem to be frequently booked, but didn't have the same obvious dedication that Raza Entertainment has. Even our initial meeting was great, in an office space specifically designed to highlight the kind of energy that will be provided at the event. Fernando was really responsive via email throughout the entire process and even when we had to postpone he was still so committed. The app he uses to build the music schedule was great - even though we did not utilize it as much as we probably should have - and helped us feel confident that the timeline was going to go as planned. The coolest part about the app is that you can put comments (or instructions like I did) for specific songs/time periods. He scheduled a final call with us to go over the music and make sure we had discussed all of the songs we absolutely wanted to be played and he clarified any questions he had about what we wrote for certain things like bridal party entrance. I think that beyond the planning portion, the absolute best part of the event was the fact that Fernando and his team were able to read the room perfectly. Sometimes you go to a wedding or event where the DJ clearly already put together a playlist beforehand and sticks with it even when the crowd is clearly not into it - that is DEFINITELY not the vibe with the Raza team. There wasn't a single song during the free dancing that the dance floor was empty and people had to be prompted to go dance and people even got up to dance a little bit during dinner. There were a lot of factors that went into our perfect day but this was a huge part of that. Best day ever. (Photos included were taken by our photographer - Jonathan Allison Photography)

5 stars is not nearly enough! Working with Fernando was one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process - from the very beginning, he was professional, energetic, fun, helpful, and great at communicating. Our dance floor was absolutely packed for about 3 full hours of nonstop dancing and partying! He created an amazing timeline that allowed our wedding to flow perfectly from ceremony, to cocktail hour, through the reception, and his sound and setup were phenomenal. A week later our guests are still telling us how great the music was, and I know this will continue for months to come because Fernando helped make our wedding unforgettable! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Fernando and his team and we give him our highest recommendation. Raza is the best of the best!

Fernando is the man! If you have just started looking for a DJ or you are deciding between some options, look no further! DJ Raza is the best in the business!!! There is a reason he is in top of every vendor list!

Pay him whatever he asks, don’t give it a second thought and you will be getting a bargain. With Fernando you are getting much more than a DJ or what you think a DJ should be. From the first meeting to the last, it always felt like catching up with a friend. While you are getting to know each other he is also sizing up your likes and dislikes, gauges your personality, offers suggestions and advice, listens and works with you to achieve what you want. We had the luxury of picking great people that all worked really well together but Fernando was at the heart of it all. He coordinated with the venue, the decorator, the photographer, the videographer, and officiant. He even got us an amazing photo booth that we had discussed but was not even a service he was offering. It was straight off the red carpet and was a huge hit at the wedding! He went above and beyond all of our expectations and we did not make it easy with special songs that were shorttened or rearranged/mixed, changing our minds, and not to mention working with us through the whole pandemic. He organized the timeline with us and really took the time to help us get exactly what we wanted. Everything was so well organized that all we had to do the day of the wedding was have fun! His equipment is all top notch and he helped make our wedding an amazing night! First class all the way!!!

Thanks Fernando! You’re the best and we will always remember you! We will stop by and see you soon when we get our photographs and videos!

Dj Raza by far exceeded our expectations. Planning/ rescheduling a wedding during a pandemic definitely had its challenges. Having Dj Raza through the process was such a blessing and a treat. He was so professional, very fun and kept our guest on the dance floor.

Hiring Raza Entertainment was the best decision we made for our wedding! Fernando has such great energy and that definitely comes through in his work. He had everyone up and dancing throughout our wedding. However, he’s more than just entertainment. Literally ONE WEEK before our wedding our photographer essentially cancelled and Fernando was the first person we reached out to. Within 10 minutes he had a list of three wonderful photographers for us to reach out to that he had already made sure were available. I will always suggest anyone planning an event that will use a DJ to hire him.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Raza Entertainment! Fernando has a GIFT!! He made us feel so special throughout the entire process. He went the extra mile and coordinated well with all of our vendors which made for a perfect wedding! We had countless guests tell us he was the best wedding DJ they have experienced and we couldn’t agree more!

Raza,

You made our wedding day the best ever. We asked you to mix and match music and it was perfect. You were able to talk to us and ask the best questions to compile music that kept the wedding party, family and friends busy dancing until our time ran out. We added stuff at the last minute and you accommodated perfectly.

We could not have asked for anything better. You are top notch at what you do.

Regards,

Mariah & Nick O'Neil

Fernando is the best in the business! At our initial meeting he instantly put me at ease. Not only is he a DJ, he is essentially a wedding coordinator and go-to person for the the wedding timeline. He is there to serve the bride and groom and was never more than one glance away and knew exactly what I needed on my wedding day. From start to finish, our wedding ran smoothly because of him. He seamlessly transitioned from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing with all the little speeches and family dances in between. Fernando’s attention to detail and aesthetics is superior to anyone else in the business. He has custom DJ booths with beautiful turntables, sleek speakers with high quality sound, pretty wireless mics, and great uplighting. But most importantly, Fernando created a perfect playlist taking all of our music tastes into account. He had our guests from all age ranges out on the dancefloor dancing until the last song. We had recently engaged friends asking if he would travel to Denver and LA to DJ for them! I can’t thank him enough for creating the perfect atmosphere for our wedding.
