Best DJ Ever!

Peter is honestly is one of the most attentive, caring, professional, and enthusiastic DJs I've ever had the pleasure working with. Our Wedding was in Novemeber of 2024. He addressed all of our needs and offered amazing ideas for wedding. He helped with cutting music for our first dance, and helped with suggestion for songs. Hes been in yhe industry for a long time and really knows what he's doing. He's super friendly and personable. When I was really stressing about certain songs/issues he helped with provided suggestions and ideas that really helped and made everything workout perfectly. Really a great DJ. I will definitely use him again!

All of our guest really loved him and his DJing!

South Indian Wedding and Reception

We hired Peter for our traditional South Indian Wedding ceremony and reception event. Not only was Peter incredibly responsive, but he managed to sync up an extensive list of songs to play at the appropriate times for our intricate traditional South Indian ceremony that lasted about 3 hours. Peter even went above and beyond by practicing all the Indian names so that he could announce everyone correctly for photos and again for Reception entrances. He's all around a pleasure to work with! Go hire him for your events :)

Peter is a great wedding DJ!

Peter was amazing and so easy to work with. He understood our music tastes and ensured that the dancefloor was packed all night! He has a TON of music and different mixes so rest-assured he'll probably have something that works for you. On the day of, he was great at managing guest requests, and mixing with our internal playlist of songs.

Amazing DJ who was super attentive to our needs!

Peter was awesome! The day of the actual wedding, everyone loved our ceremony, happy hour and reception music. Our dance floor was so packed people didn't have time to go get drinks at the open bar haha! We had a lot of questions / were not experienced with wedding planning and Peter was so kind to always quickly answer our questions and hop on the phone with us. Peter has a ton of experience with weddings so he was able to provide us sample lists of songs for important moments and guide how we should think about the progression of music and entertainment throughout the wedding. He also provided the uplighting that set the mood for our reception / dance floor.

Peter is your guy. You won't regret it

I had my wedding in San Clemente, CA and Peter was the DJ. If you want someone who knows their stuff and no BS, Peter is your person. In addition to handling the music, he has lights, smoke machines, sparks, tree lights and many other things. Peter was professional, joy to work with, good attitude, and great communicator. I highly recommend Peter.

Outstanding!!

Peter was amazing from start to finish for our August 2023 wedding! We really appreciated that in addition to DJing, we were also able to work with him for MCing and uplighting. He is versatile and attentive. Per my request, towards the end of the night, he transitioned to some EDM favorites which made me so happy and allowed me to have fun with our guests. Peter has a wonderful personality and was a joy to work with! Would highly recommend Peter!!

Vive Entertainment made our wedding amazing!!

Peter is the greatest! He is very accommodating, kind, professional and easy to work with! I the groom on the other hand, was a bit vague about what songs to put on the dance floor because the bride and I were a bit flustered with wedding prep, but the day of, SOMEHOW Peter put on all the songs we loved to dance to! How does he do it? It's like magic.

So, it seems, Peter is not only an exceptional DJ and MC, he is also a mind reader of sorts. But really, you can see his decades of experience shine in how he makes everything work so well and keeps the atmosphere so lively and joyful during the wedding! Even knowing what songs to put, you really see the experience come out.

So for those of you who are looking for a DJ, I know what it's like to comb through so many reviews, many who have high reviews and go "who do we trust?" "they're all good", "how do we know which one's legit?" Let me stop you right there.

Peter is legit. Peter is good. Peter is someone you can trust.

Great Wedding Experience

Peter was our DJ/ MC for our wedding, and he was so helpful, kind, and professional. We appreciated the time he took to meet with us and answer all of our questions. He really listened and understood our vibe of what we wanted played, and also did a great job reading the room and choosing songs. We knew we could really trust him, and we had the best evening.

Exceptional DJ!

Peter was exceptional! He stuck with us through two postponements and was our wedding DJ this past August at Rancho Las Lomas. He is easy going and seamlessly led the wedding reception. He never came across as overbearing on the mic. We gave him a general idea of the kind of music we like, and he did a great job at reading the room and choosing which songs to play. We received many compliments from guests about Peter. Thank you, Peter!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
