About

For over 20 years, Scott Trugman has honed his craft and specialized in the unique needs of weddings. He’s a mobile DJ and MC who primarily works in the Monterey Bay area, including Santa Cruz & San Jose. As a veteran DJ and MC, Scott not only provides an expansive, diverse, and appropriate collection of music, but also seamlessly transitions into making announcements.

If you’re interested in hiring Scott, he likes to begin with a short discussion of the particulars of your wedding, followed by a sit-down consultation to layout the sequence of events for your big day. This includes the mood, the key songs, special moments, announcements, and anything else he can do to make your day be exactly like you imagine it.

On your wedding day, he’ll arrive approximately an hour and a half before his official start time to set-up and test equipment, tape down wires, and check-in to see if there any last minute changes. During the event, he’ll make sure guests are informed of what is taking place next and help make sure the event stays on-track. After that comes the fun part. Scott personally takes pride in making sure everyone is having a great time on the dance floor while playing your favorite songs. Please contact Scott to discuss the details of your wedding or event.

Wonderful Experience DJ’ing Our Wedding

Can’t say enough great things about working with Scott! Early in the wedding planning process he was extremely helpful mapping out what we need as well as giving us advice about the typical flow of things. When it came to selecting music, Scott was super accommodating of our eclectic music tastes and did a great job avoiding things we didn’t want to hear (no more instructional dance songs 2025!!!). Honestly couldn’t ask anything more out of a DJ and wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for keeping our night grooving!

highly recommended!

Scott did an amazing job DJing our September wedding at Saratoga Springs. He was friendly and professional. He took our input and filled in the gaps with songs which did a great job to set the mood. We had such a great time on the dance floor because he kept the party going all night long! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone who needs a DJ for their event.

The Best DJ

Roaring Camp Wedding -- November 2024

DJ Scott is a phenomenal DJ and consummate professional who played a huge part in making our day so special. My fiancé and I were married at Roaring Camp in California -- a complicated venue with multiple steam train rides, an outdoor ceremony, and indoor reception. At every stage, DJ Scott was completely prepared, communicated well, and critical in making things go off without a hitch (train pun)!

During the planning process, DJ Scott was friendly, prompt when replying, flexible with scheduling, and very informative. During our reception, he brought a ton of energy and a great mix which perfectly reflected our musical tastes.

If you need a fantastic, professional DJ who is a easy to work with and is a riot and a half, like we did -- you'll love DJ Scott!

Enthusiastic, Flexible, Awesome DJ

We spent some time looking for the right DJ since we had some very specific music requests involving several live performances interspersed with recorded music. We felt great about Scott immediately after our first meeting with him due to his organization and great attitude. He made it very easy to share documents back and forth to make us feel so confident that the flow of the evening would go exactly the way we envisioned. Day of, he was calm and smiling and did a perfect job emceeing, mic'ing the musicians and officiant, and playing music. Can't recommend Scott any more highly.

Scott was Wonderful!

Scott DJ'd our wedding this past August and we were thrilled with his dedication to helping us prepare our timeline, transitions, and song selection for ceremony, reception and dancing! Everything was seamless and we could rely on Scott to rally our guests into each event. Thank you!

Responsive, professional, easy to work with

Scott was a joy to work with! We had multiple zoom calls to get to know each other, he provided a list of his song library for us to mark songs we liked for him to get a vibe. His library of songs was very extensive, meeting requirements for the ceremony, cocktail hr, dinner, and dancing. He even acquired a specific version of a song to walk down the aisle to that was perfect. Easy to work with, on time, easy to work with during the lead up to the big day and even easier to work with on the day of. Would definitely recommend!

Review for DJ Scott: You truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable!!

DJ Scott, you were an absolute rockstar at our wedding! From the first time we talked, I just knew you were the perfect fit for us. Music is our thing, and you totally nailed the vibes from start to finish!

Every time one of my requested songs came on, I couldn’t help but nudge Sean and say, “He did it again!” You really listened to what we wanted, and it made our day that much more special!!

I’m so glad I trusted my gut and called you after chatting with a couple of other DJs. We clicked right away, and your organization was top-notch (which this bride definitely appreciated!). Filling out your paperwork was a breeze, and it felt like you genuinely cared about every detail, even down to the song I walked down the aisle to. Honestly, I was so in the moment that I think I blacked out and missed the music, but knowing you had it covered was a huge comfort!

Thanks a million for making our day so unforgettable. You truly made the party one for the books! All of our guests are still talking about our Wedding & will still be talking about it for years to come!! Perfection is an understatement!!! Thanks for REALLY listening & DELIVERING!!!

Highly professional and fantastic DJ!

Scott is highly professional, organized, and helpful when deciding on both the flow of events and what types of songs would work for each moment. He was very knowledgeable of our venue’s unique rules, the Seymour Center, and handled these with ease. The entire night went so smoothly, and I thought he did a particularly great job transitioning the music from more jazzy cocktail hour selections to adjusting the vibe later in the evening to keep the dance floor popular. He also did an excellent job of MC’ing the speeches, announcing key events, and working in a good moment for an impromptu thank you speech we had forgotten to make. We would highly recommend him!!

DJ Scott was truly incredible!

DJ Scott was everything we needed and more! He was so professional, responsive, and made our wedding incredible! I had specific requests for music and transitions, and he made them happen no problem. He has a very thorough list of songs that we used to tell him the vibes we wanted during each part of the wedding, and he nailed it! He kept the dance floor moving all evening all the way through the final song, and so many guests came up to us during and after the wedding to tell us how great he was! Highly highly highly recommend DJ Scott!
