About

Since 2004, Sleeping Giant Music (SGM) and the sub division SGM Events has served as a standard-bearer for entertainment excellence. Through our unyielding dedication to both artists and audiences alike, SGM provides quality entertainment on a global scale.

SGM’s more than 15 years of exceptional booking, talent buying, and logistical services add up to a simple formula: We handle the business while our artists focus on their craft.

SGM Events Services Offered:

Weddings - Wedding entertainment can take many forms. Two of the most popular types of wedding entertainment are bands and DJs. However, at SGM Events, we offer the highest quality bands, DJs, and alternative forms of entertainment, so you can let your creativity run wild.

Mobile DJs - What is a mobile DJ? A mobile disc jockey is able to tour with his or her own portable DJ’ing equipment. That makes a mobile DJ the perfect performer for your wedding. SGM Events is proud to manage the top talent in the San Diego area. When you work with SGM Events, you get all of the benefits that come from working with a top talent agency.

Musicians - There is nothing quite like live music to make an event memorable, and the talented musicians represented by SGM Events are the best that the San Diego area has to offer. Whether you are choosing between a band, an acoustic performer, or strings for your wedding, we can provide the talent you need.

Photo Booths - SGM Events has the perfect entertainment for your wedding. However, besides a live entertainer, we’ve found that many of our clients are also interested in renting a photo booth for the event. That’s why we also offer this fabulous service.

Silent Disco - A silent disco is a quiet club environment when a DJ plays music that is only heard over headphones. The headphones use wireless receivers to transmit the music to each participant. It creates a really cool effect for someone who walks into the room without headphones on yet. It just looks like a room full of people dancing in silence.

DJ Ramsey was perfect!

We hired Ramsey for our wedding on Labor Day Weekend and he was perfect! He was so thorough and thoughtful! He made sure that everyone was having a great time and when we had a couple of last minute changes to our songs, he totally rolled with it. He is so talented and professional. I hope we can have Ramsey at every event we ever do in the future!! We cannot recommend him enough!!

Incredible experience with DJ FishFonics!

We worked with DJ FishFonics (Erik Fish) for our June 2024 wedding and reception, and we're so happy with our decision! SGM Events helped with matching us with the right DJ, contracting, and payments. Afterwards, we worked directly with DJ FishFonics for planning the event. We have so many great things to say but the number one thing was that the music was absolutely incredible! We gave Erik several song examples for parts of the night like cocktail hour and dance floor, and he took it to the next level. Our dance floor was bumping from beginning to end. He knew how to keep the crowd energized, with his remix selections and transitions that matched the vibe we communicated. As a bonus, Erik provided the list of songs upon request after the event, so now we can relive the night whenever we want.

He was also great with all the other aspects of DJing an event: set-up done on time at our venue at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Kijamii Overlook, worked well with the coordinator for timing and cues, lighting was great, responsive via e-mail, listened well to the type of music we wanted, played the right versions of songs at the right time for wedding moments, made the announcements as asked, and more. I highly recommend DJ FishFonics in the future if you want a smooth event and a good time for your crowd!

5/5 Stars - Fish Fonics was a total hit!

FishFonics (Erik) was such a pleasure to work with and totally killed it at our wedding. He was so good at telling what music was working for our guests and did such a good job of keeping people dancing all night! We wanted someone who could strike a balance between crowd favorites and EDM. Erik totally understood what we were going for and delivered. The entire process with SGM was a breeze. Communication was always clear and prompt. Everyone was so easy to work with. Would highly recommend!

Dj ramsey!

DJ Ramsey was incredible! We had a couple of phone consultations with him and he answered all of our questions, gave us examples, pictures, basically whatever he could to fully answer all of our questions. He sent us a worksheet to help fill out all the specific songs we wanted, asked if there was any specific announcements he should give etc. Between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, he was on top of making sure the music matched each portion of the day and that the guests were having a great time. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks DJ Ramsey for making our wedding day so magical!
Love Lindsey and Amber

Best DJ Decision for our Wedding!

Choosing Erik (DJ FishFonics) and Sleeping Giant was hands down one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. From the minute I selected Erik months prior, he was always so responsive to my emails and pretty quick to respond, as well (which is huge for a Type A person like myself). He had SGM do all of the managing and they were also super efficient and easy to work with. The pricing was totally fair and the worksheet they sent me to complete prior totally helped me navigate our wedding and song selection. I am SO glad I went with Erik, he was AMAZING and totally listened to all of my requests and feedback. Everyone raved about him and I would 100% refer him to every single person considering DJ FishFonics and SGM. Thank you!!!

SGM + Caprice Strings = Perfect

SGM was amazingly easy to work with; maybe the best vendor we worked with leading up to the big day. We had many music options provided to us and we decided to hire Caprice Strings to play our wedding. They absolutely nailed it! We asked for quite a few songs that were not in their song list and for a small fee per song, they learned the songs and played them perfectly; super impressed with them! We would no question recommend SGM and Caprice Strings for any event. All parties were super cool and super professional and made our day perfect!

Mikey Beats Best Wedding DJ Ever

Mikey Beats did a fantastic job with our wedding and we couldn't be happier. from the song choices during open dance and cocktail hour to following our song requirements and timeline; Mikey overshot our expectations. I highly recommend having Sleeping Giant and Mikey Beats if you can get him.

Professional and quality service and performance from Bernard and SGM team

Bernard was an awesome DJ for our wedding! From the beach ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, he nailed every event.

He was upbeat and out going and full of energy and was a true asset to our special day.

We would recommend him to friend or family and hire him for another special event in a heart beat! Thank you so much again for everything you did for us Bernard!
