About

I'm Taj Panganiban, a wedding DJ based in San Francisco, California. I offer entertainment services for rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, and receptions.

If you're looking at DJs and you've never heard their mix, move on. It's either not good or so bland you'll wish you spent a couple of hundred dollars more than having to wonder if your guests are having fun. If your prospective DJs cannot be vouched for by recent couples or Wedding professionals whose reputation relies on referring the best they know within your budget, move on.

Many of you want a DJ with a clean setup that won't distract you in person or in pictures. Who is kept together and doesn't look worn out from having weddings every weekend for a decade. In addition, if you're paying thousands of dollars, the DJ better be able to creatively mix in and out of different genres while being hyped with the crowd. I am him; I also have the photos, videos, reviews, and mixes to support this notion. I am not a bargain DJ where you get what you paid for; I'm not expensive either. Please message me for availability, and let's mark this off your wedding to-do list!

STOP looking, you've found your DJ.

I’m pretty sure I started my conversation with Taj with the words, “We need a DJ for my daughter’s wedding in 3 months and we are very boring and don’t like to dance. Can you help us?” His response? No problem. And you know what? It was NO PROBLEM. Taj and his crew were absolutely wonderful through the entire process.


Early and frequent conversations helped us communicate through most decisions well ahead of time, even when we didn’t really know what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I hardly talked to Taj at all - he knew what he needed to do and I was free to do what I wanted to do - enjoy the party!


Taj managed the sound for the outside ceremony (including providing two microphones and a stand for the officiant), worked with my Zoom connection for the ceremony, and absolutely brought the party for the indoor reception. The photo booth with the custom balloon arch and background were SO MUCH FUN! They arrived early and set up well in advance of when we needed them and were cautious to safely tape down and store any wires.


The value added by the presence of his team was more than I could have ever expected or asked for. Taj’s wife Michelle didn’t sit down the entire event and they are 100% invited to any future party I throw - as guests! The pictures and videos they took are among my favorites so far.


I really didn’t think we could pull off the kind of fun wedding reception that I was seeing in Taj’s Instagram Reels, but I have never been so happy to be so wrong. It turns out we DO like to dance, we just needed the right DJ.

An amazing night

Taj is an amazing DJ and I guarantee that you will not regret hiring him for your event!

Taj was a recommendation from our wedding planner, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with his services. I am a huge fan of house music and my husband is a fan of salsa, so we were super apprehensive about how the music at our reception would turn out. From our very first meeting with Taj, we knew we were in good hands. He immediately had some great ideas and was very receptive to what we liked and did not like.

All of our wedding guests had rave reviews as well. He kept the energy high the whole reception and I couldn't have asked for a better music playlist. It was everything we wanted and more. I've seen it in his reviews before, but I must say it again. Taj really knows how to read the room and knows how to lead an AWESOME party. His wife is also a gem and it was a joy to experience her energy and spirit throughout the party as well.

Thank you Taj for an unforgettable time!

Danced The Whole Night Away!

Our friend threw us a surprise anniversary party for our 10th and Taj delivered!! You couldn’t drag us off the floor because the music was consistently great! We left to get a water and we came right back to the dance floor. A party is only a success if you have a good DJ and we certainly did with Taj. The lighting was great as well. If you have an event or wedding, we highly recommend his services!!

A++ Experience with DJ Taj

Taj was very friendly and professional, he had everything mic'd up appropriately, great music selection and had everyone at the wedding on their feet dancing! Everyone loved the photo booth he brought. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and approachable DJ who tailored his entire set list to exactly match our needs and surpass our expectations. Tip: try to get the photo booth package if your budget allows...

Fast & Reliable

Taj was very professional, he did my nieces wedding. My niece is young and very indecisive, Taj took the time patiently to listen to her story and support her & the groom in developing an effective playlist. He came early to the venue to see the tone of the space then set up accordingly for optimal flow. Once the music was started, he was actively involved. Him & his assistant were very attentive to the guest. They even had an option to add a Photo Booth and we took advantage of it. We plan on using him for our next event.

Amazing Job

I hired Taj for my friends 10-year anniversary party exceeded our expectations in every way. He skillfully blended a diverse range of music genres to keep the dance floor packed all night. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the playlist accordingly was impressive. The sound and lighting setup added a fantastic atmosphere to the event. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to celebrate this special milestone.

Made the party

Taj DJ’d me and my husbands 10 year anniversary party. Obviously a lot has to do with party planning on how the party turns out. But I truly believe that the music for dancing is going to be 80% of it!!! Taj was quick to respond , found out the information in advance he needed to know for the best set up, and followed through with ease. We gave him a few songs we really wanted and let him pick the rest ; our friends and family couldn’t stop dancing!! I would 100% request him again for any future events

Anniversary Party

Taj was GREAT!! He not only care about his role, but also wanted to get a feel for the whole event. His reminders and check-ins truly helped, not to mention the playlist he compiled and then at the event itself, he set the tone and party atmosphere!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
