    Best dj ever!

    I cannot recommend a better DJ than the Carcano team! They were amazing from the very beginning, super responsive and easy to work with. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day ever! The fact that they’re a family business is an added plus for sure! Ryan was truly the best!! He even made our first dance edit from 2 songs that we wanted to use. Their lighting options were endless and what we chose added the perfect touches throughout our reception, we also had low level fog that made our first dance so magical and the CO2 gun was definitely a crowd pleaser and one of our favorites!! Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone has since raved that ours was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! 10/10 recommend using Carcano for your wedding or any upcoming event, you will not be disappointed!!

    Amazing DJ and lighting!

    We loved our experience with Carcano DJ for our wedding! They were friendly, attentive, organized, and professional! The music was fun and lighting was perfect. My husband and I definitely recommend them for anyone getting married.

    Incredible Wedding

    We cannot say enough great things about the Carcano family and their DJ services! They were easy to communicate with leading up to our big day and did an incredible job on our wedding day. The ceremony, announcements, music, everything flowed PERFECTLY. We gave a list of suggested guest songs and Ryan was able to incorporate every song during some point in the evening. He did a fantastic job of feeling the crowd's energy and switching the music style throughout the evening. The dance floor was a non-stop party for the entire evening and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Ryan and Carcano family for the best night of our lives!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Ryan was absolutely AMAZING!! He made our whole day so special. Everyone commented at his music choices. He played the perfect music for our pre-ceremony mingling and then got everyone dancing all night!! Debbie was very professional and responsive to all my questions and concerns for our backyard wedding. I will definitely use Ryan again and tell all my friends to use him! Zero complaints. Thank you again Ryan for helping to make our night so perfect

    They take care of you

    Working with the Carcano DJ team for our wedding was a great pleasure. Mike, Ryan, and Debbie are such wonderful people, they really take care of you. When I first submitted an inquiry, Mike got back to me with a phone call and texted me details of their services. We met up with Ryan at their office for a further in-depth discussion of services and booked with them straight away for DJ/MC, lighting, and a photo booth. And Debbie followed up with us in emails and phone calls to make sure they had our details down to a T.

    We gave Mike some Spotify playlists to work off of for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He had such a great vibe going on during the dinner and for dancing afterwards. The Carcano team was also able to accommodate our wedding space - not just the ceremony sound system and music, but also our weird indoor/outdoor dinner and dancing situation.

    Our guests also had fun with the photo booth. Fun props were provided and you could get a lot of prints.

    Overall, my husband and I had a fantastic experience working with the Carcano DJ team. We definitely recommend them to other couples out there!

    Awesome DJ/Gobos!

    Everyone raved about the music and gobos at our wedding!! We had a rock/alternative theme and Ryan & Mike really blew us away! I was afraid with this style music there would be a lull on the dance floor… but these guys kept everyone moving. We had Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Neil Diamond… and it goes on. This is a party we will never forget!

    Planning pre wedding was awesome too. Mike and Debbie were so responsive and helpful with all of our questions.

    Thank you for being such a big part of our special day. You brought the party to our wedding! Honestly we were so happy with your work! We had such a blast. We are grateful for how you helped our day go so smoothly! You, Debbie and Ryan were so easy to work with and really helped to ease what we thought was going to be a crazy hectic day.

    Such A Vibe

    We hired this family run Dj service and they are so cool and professional. Dj was hype but not overly and the music was perfect. It’s like they feel the vibe and go with it and for us they nailed it. Dj checked in with us making sure everything was good. I think a few family members went up to him for a card for upcoming events :)

    So happy we booked with ya’ll

    Proud To Have Been A Part Of The Carcano Experience

    The Carcano family is a force to be reckoned with. What I love about this family run business is how proud everyone is of each other as well as the work they do. They stand by each other and they stand by their work and when you're with them, you're feeling like you're a part of their family as well.

    We were lucky to meet the Carcano DJ fam at a Wedding Expo out of all places and we were intrigued because of the videos they've had from previous events but just the all around contagious and genuine energy we felt upon meeting them. Once we got their information, they invited us over to get an understanding of what kind of music we wanted as well as what kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. As someone who really appreciates music with clubs and music festivals, the Carcano fam knew immediately what kind of route I wanted to go and invited us to their showroom to provide a preview of what was to come.

    As the months built, the Carcanos were always quick to communicate and answer any questions I have as well as meet through Zoom when they could. I was specific with my music choices as I crafted a sentimental and touching pre-ceremony mix, a vibin' cocktail hour mix and then an absolute send for our wedding party mix. As much control as I had, I wanted to give the Carcano DJ squad creative freedom to feel the crowd and just play to keep the energy going. They understood that and was able to provide other things I asked for; confetti, CO2 tanks and big smiles all around.

    The Carcanos came down to San Diego to our absolutely beautiful and one of a kind venue and were able to visualize where everything needed to go so they could put on the memorable performance I had expected from them. Making these trips on their own, I appreciate the extra mile (pun intended) that they went through to make sure everything was covered on their end.

    Wedding day comes in and we are gifted with the all star team of Ryan, Max, Jason and Angelina. Angelina handled the photo booth that we also added as our package and our guests told us how much fun the booth was. I must say, once Ryan, Max and Jason were testing the music and sound upon arrival, the energy and enthusiasm I felt was immediate. And after all the zoom calls and the analysis of the music playlist I had shared through Google Sheets, everything musically was executed to perfection. Ryan, who was also our MC, did a phenomenal job with his announcements and making sure the guests were in tune with what was about to happen. Also, Ryan, if you're reading, a lot of the guests said you have that "voice", which got everyone pumped and smiling with the energy you had.

    After handling the music for the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour and providing the announcements needed, the peak of the night ended in the dance party which was delivered flawlessly. With Max and Jason helping create the perfect dance atmosphere and after meticulously planning our CONFETTI+CO2 GUN SURPRISE, we delivered with an explosion of cheers and gasps and awe. From that point on, with my influence, Ryan delivered with great music, creative mixing and always keeping the energy at a high until the venue had to force guests out because our time was at a near. To this day, our guests continue to excitedly tell us how epic our wedding was and it couldn't have been done without the Carcano team.

    BIG THANK YOU to Ryan, Max, Jason, and Angelina for being at our wedding and later enjoying the later parts of the night as we all got to let loose together. You guys are amazing and as someone who values family and just good energy, you would've thought we were related (we might be though, who knows). Also thank you for being respectful and helpful to our venue as originally they said no confetti but your wonderful team was willing to help clean and just go the extra mile to make sure this night was one we'd never forget and our guests would always remember. We hope you all were able to have an amazing time yourselves and we will always recommend your family for everything events related. Also big thank you for the big man Michael Carcano and Debbie being the reason why we came to you guys, I'd be proud to be a Carcano as well and you both did it right. Hope nothing but the best for your fam and any event that doesn't have the Carcanos doesn't realize what they're missing.

    Utterly Fantastic

    The Carcano DJ team performed at my daughter’s outdoor wedding and indoor reception on August 13, 2022. Their sound system at the wedding ceremony was fantastic, the music was at the perfect volume level. The microphone quality was excellent and provided an enjoyable audio experience for everyone. At the reception, their expertise in music and lighting effects amplified the party atmosphere for everyone. Michael’s energy as DJ kept the wedding guests engaged on the dance floor with several pre-arranged music choices selected by the bride. She also told Michael to field other music choices from the guests or add selections on his own. I highly recommend Carcano DJ to anyone having a special event, he did a fantastic job for my daughter’s wedding. You will not be disappointed in what he can accomplish for your event. He made my daughter’s wedding a truly memorable and wonderful experience for all.

    Great Experience! Would Hire Any Time!

    Mike and the team were AMAZING throughout our entire wedding experience. We connected with them from the first meeting and knew we were in good hands. They communicated with us so well through all the planning leading up to the big day and let me add on additional services. The custom gobo & first dance song, dance floor, draping, lighting, and DJ services were all so professional and well done. All of our guests kept talking about how good our DJ was! I can't wait to have another event to be able to hire Mike and his services again. You will NOT regret using Carcano DJ!

    Partied until the end!

    We hired Carcano for our wedding that’s been pushed back since 2020. They were very flexible and understanding with the constant changes to our wedding. We had carcano help with the drapery and of course, the DJ for our ceremony and reception. Our ceremony had a gazebo where we also wanted drapery done, they were hesitant at first because they didn’t do drapery for a gazebo very often. However, with one reference photo, they were able to do a beautiful job and it set such a dreamy look to the gazebo. Our ballroom was also dressed up wonderfully with the drapery, lights, dance floor, chairs, etc. We were so happy with how everything came together as well as the DJ, Max. He was so great and kept everyone dancing until the very end. We had the best time and couldn’t be happier with Carcano’s service.

    Look no further, hire Carcano DJ Audio & Lighting

    Our venue recommended Carcano and we are so happy we hired them for our wedding. We hired them for the DJ and lighting services although they offer other services like draping, dance floor, and a photo booth. Working with them was very easy; excellent communication and organization. They are knowledgeable in a variety of music genres and are accommodating if you want to hear specific songs. We had a set playlist, which we had sent to them via Spotify, and Ryan our DJ, selected the perfect songs to play for the evening. Our entire wedding party was moving and grooving and absolutely loved Ryan. We did not have a day of wedding coordinator, therefore Ryan kept to the timeline we agreed upon and was flexible if there were any changes. Leading up to the wedding a lot of our friends told us something would go wrong or we wouldn't be able to enjoy the entire night, but because we hired such excellent DJs the night went smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding party. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful wedding

    Carcano DJ does a fabulous job in making sure all of your wedding ideas become a reality. Mostly everything we had in our wedding came from him and and I can absolutely say that every dollar was well spent. It was amazing to work with such great people who care about their clients and goes to great lengths to ensure everything comes out perfect.

    Phenomenal

    My husband and I are extremely happy with the our wedding, especially having Carcano DJ Audio Visual & Lighting as our vendor. Mike, his wife Debbie and son Ryan are a great family, very professional, but also know how to have fun and make a wedding memorable. The playlist for our wedding was PERFECT, definitely a reflection of my husband and I. Everyone danced the night away, no one ever wanted to leave the dance floor. Also Ryan made a special mix for my father/ daughter dance, that I had requested, which made it unforgettable. It was exactly what I wanted! Thank you Carcano DJ Audio Visual & Lighting from the bottom of our hearts. We had the wedding of our dreams! You all are truly amazing. Bryan & I wish you guys all the best & success. We will be referring people to you guys too if they need a phenomenal DJ experience. THANK YOU AGAIN!! Much love.

    Sincerely,
    Mr. & Mrs. Gomez

    You will not go wrong with Mike, Ryan, and Debbie! They are fun and professional and made sure everything went right on our wedding day. Our ceremony and reception music was absolutely perfect! And they even had Chiavari chairs for rent (how convenient!). I highly recommend DJ Carcano for anyone looking for a wedding DJ and MC!

    Best Service - Best Pricing - Amazing Attention to Detail!

    First of all - if you are looking for a DJ Company, Lighting, Company or draping company, you can not do better than Carcano. I've been doing events in Southern California for 6 years and they by far have the best service, the best attention to detail. Mike and Ryan are kind, patient, funny, personable and great at their jobs. Ryan DJ'd a 600 person holiday party for a software company that my boyfriend works for and we danced the night away! Imagine trying to get 600 people onto the dance floor! Mike has DJ'd countless events at my facilities as well and is the most fun! Most recently the two of them (along with Mike's wife Debbie of Chiavari Chairs 4 Rent) helped me put together the most perfect micro-wedding for my best friend. Her wedding plans had been derailed by COVID and she was out nearly $10K from her original venue and caterer. The team at Carcano DJ helped us transport a tiny backyard and dining room into the most beautiful ceremony and dinner location so that they could still tie the knot on their original date. You really can't go wrong with this company! So what are you waiting for? Call them already!

    Carcano DJ helped us with our lighting for the wedding. We had to change from an outdoor reception to an indoor last minute and Mike made the extra effort to visit the venue twice! He made it seamless with great recommendations since we had no idea how lighting works. Everything turned out beautifully and my guests made compliments all night how great everything was. Thanks to Mike and his team!!
