We truly enjoyed working with James. My wife and and I both felt that Benji interpreted our requests and added the perfect amount of his own knowledge to create a dance list that was wonderful. We also enjoyed his energy and looking at the gear. Many of the guests commented how much they enjoyed the music and its presentation. My wife and I will be sure to recommend you whenever possible and will be looking for a reason to have an anniversary dance with you at the helm! -

I can’t say enough about Jamie and Benji (my ceremony DJ)! They helped my now-husband and I coordinate for the event of our lifetimes. Both were incredibly professional, thoughtful, detail-oriented, guest-oriented, and YOU-oriented. Benji did an awesome job spinning throughout the night and keeping everything on a tight schedule. I am looking forward to the next opportunity I get to work with Ceremony DJs! -

I will say without shame that my husband and I are a little snobby about music. Early in the planning process when we discussed what we wanted to hear at our wedding we agreed that we didn't want a "wedding DJ" at all...we wanted a good DJ who would just happen to be playing at our wedding. (No offense to Earth, Wind, & Fire, but if we never heard "September" ever again, it would suit us just fine.) With this as our North Star, we started looking and were mostly disappointed in the selection, until we found Ceremony DJs.
I admit that I first reached out to Ceremony because I noticed they used a New Order album cover as their cover photo, and I assumed from this that they'd be cool. Well, I was right.
From the moment my husband and I first spoke with Jamie Guzzi, we knew we were being understood and that our music was in good hands. Although his company is based in San Francisco, Jamie has connections in cities all up and down the West Coast and are expanding Eastward. Jamie hooked us up with an LA-local DJ, Aaron Castle, and we had an hours-long conversation about the music that shaped us, the artists we love the most, and what we definitely, not under any circumstances, did not want to hear. It was like having drinks with new friends and by the end, we were convinced we'd made exactly the right choice.
On the day of the event, Aaron ran sound at the ceremony, set the vibe at the cocktail hour, and kept the dance floor packed at the reception. All night people were coming up to my husband and I to rave about the musical selections.
My husband and I could not be happier with this vendor and we would recommend them to anyone. If you care about music, hire Ceremony DJs. -

Absolute Coolest Wedding Ever.. No, I'm Serious.
After an initial discussion with Ceremony DJs it became clear that their prime mission was to fuel a zine-worthy wedding dance party. Not just any party but one where you're going to have anyone with a good sense of music come tell you that they're experiencing the "coolest wedding ever!!". No joke. If Mick Jagger was hanging around for the vibes I wouldn't have been surprised.
Working with Ceremony DJs is like flipping through your good friend's record collection and saying "Oh yeah!! This has a great track on it..let's play this for sure!". I'm pretty sure the crew at Ceremony DJs could simply write for Rolling Stone or NME and make a fine living off their extensive knowledge of music and it's interplay with culture but no.. us folks planning weddings are blessed with their insight and taste being channeled for the purpose of throwing what you'll know is the coolest wedding you've ever been to. Prepare to have your faces melted :) -

These guys were AMAZING. Not only were they extremely professional and helpful, their music taste was perfect. They played some of our favorite songs on vinyl and were super easy to work with for our wedding. Highly recommend! -

Christina Sent on 10/06/2023THE BEST DJ!!! Unforgettable night!
Right from our initial communication, Jamie was great to work with. He took the time to really understand our musical preferences and the vibe we wanted for our wedding. His attention to detail and dedication to creating the perfect playlist was truly commendable. Prior to the wedding, I had compiled a playlist of 400+ songs and was so happy to hear some deep cuts from that list during the wedding.
Jamie’s use of vinyl records added a unique and nostalgic touch to the evening. He also seamlessly incorporated our family's cultural music, showing his flexibility and commitment to making everyone feel included and connected to the celebration.
During the cocktail hour, our guests were already on the dance floor, and that was all thanks to Jamie's incredible energy and music selection. He had a fantastic ability to gauge the crowd's mood and adjust the music accordingly, ensuring that the dance floor was never empty.
In the end, I can confidently say that Jamie was worth every penny. He played a pivotal role in making our wedding a roaring success and the best day ever. His professionalism, talent, and ability to connect with the crowd were second to none. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
If you're looking for a DJ who will exceed your expectations, create a fantastic atmosphere, and leave your guests raving about the music, look no further. DJ Jamie is a true gem and will undoubtedly make your special day even more memorable.
Thank you, Jamie, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration! -

Ceremony DJ'S WERE INSANE!!! From the moment of our first call with Jamie, we knew it was a perfect match. His extensive knowledge of all genres (even afrobeats. My family is African) combined with his chill demeanor and hilarious personality really made the whole planning process so fun! I had a Napa wedding of 182 people that I was mostly planning by myself so you can imagine the stress. And yet any call we had with Jamie, immediately put me at ease. I kid you not he was the ONLY part of the wedding I didn't have to worry about. He also has experience coordinating weddings and it really helped to have someone who could anticipate the other aspects of a ceremony and reception. My whole family and all our friends were WOWED (which is not an easy thing to accomplish considering there were so many types of personalities and backgrounds). Jamie felt the energy of the room and just ran with it from cocktail hour through the reception. And the rate was more than reasonable. He even threw in some equipment no charge!! I'm bummed I'm based in LA because I would hire his company to play any event I have. I HIGHLY recommend anyone searching for a DJ to hire Ceremony DJ's. You will not regret it. Guests are still raving about the music. -

Benji djed our wedding in September, and it was the dance party of our dreams!
We knew from the start we were in for a party, beginning with my husband having a 2 hour "music nerd" zoom call as we planned our wedding from Philadelphia. My husband having been a dj and in music production, has his own very impressive vinyl collection, so this was important to him.
They met us at the venue a few months ahead of time and figured out sound and lighting for various settings.
Day of was so smooth... one of my favorite moments was how perfectly timed the beat dropped as we recessed from ceremony! Out of movie!
Cocktail hour and dinner was wonderful in the way he created the vibe without overpowering the moment.
The DANCE PARTY was next level! Everyone on the dance floor til 2am!!
Honestly the best, I could not recommend Ceremony Djs more! Hire them, don't think twice! -

From the start of the wedding planning through the end of the wedding night, our experience with Ceremony DJs was absolutely wonderful. They got to know us and our musical styles and interests. They guided us through song selections and musical cues. They walked the venue with us and helped us figure out the best way to set it up. The reception was wild. DJ Benji crushed and blew the roof off the Hotel. Very Happy and Highly recommended -

Not your stereotypical wedding DJ!
We hired Ceremony DJ's for our wedding and they did an excellent job. We had an initial meeting w/ Benji (our DJ) and Jamie (the founder) to discuss what musical vibe we are going for. Their knowledge of music is extensive, these guys know their stuff. You will get something different than the typical "Wedding songs", and they don't just click play on a playlist and walk away - they were actively DJing the whole night. Their catalogue is extensive (90+ page document!). We got a ton of compliments on the music from our guests. We opted for the disco ball upgrade (it is giant!) and the upgraded sound package (definitely worth it). Jamie has done a ton of weddings, so he had good advice regarding the general flow of the day, what key songs to pick, and other useful tips. Music is really important to us, and Ceremony DJ's nailed the vibe of the day.
Our wedding was a ton of fun, and we would hire them again in a heartbeat. -

We had a great time working with Jamie! The planning process was a breeze thanks to his approachability and enthusiasm. He was super responsive via email and he addressed all our questions and offered advice for our ceremony songs. It was so fun discussing music with him too during the planning meeting—his knowledge of music is vast and from the get-go we knew we were going with a DJ who not only knew his stuff but also totally understood our music taste. He blended indie rock/folk and ’70s rock perfectly for the cocktail hour and dinner, and for dancing he stuck to a fun ’80s / new wave set list. He used vinyl throughout the night and threw in some fun surprises (we loved the Julee Cruise during dinner). He also put his own spin on some guest requests, like playing a double length version of Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” with an extended instrumental breakdown. We also appreciated that even when the dance floor wasn’t bustling, he still kept the energy up. Thank you so much, Jamie! -

From planning to execution, Ceremony DJs did it all. Very easy to work with, always on time, and very communicative. They worked with us to make a custom playlist that paired perfectly with our wedding reception timeline. They mixed between multiple genres of music. They played both vinyl records and high-quality digital files and all of our guests were very impressed!!! Truly unforgettable. This is who you want to choose for your event. Thanks, Ceremony DJs!!!!! You rule!

We had a great time working with Ceremony DJs. Jamie worked with us during the process to figure out our music interests and identify special songs for the wedding. Communication was quick and easy. DJ Benji DJed the wedding ceremony and reception, and did a fantastic job. The ceremony was flawless, dinner music was wonderful, and he kept people on the dance floor the entire night. We sent over a few playlists and he took inspiration from those, and he was willing to play special requests the night of the reception. The blending/transition from song to song was great, and he played a good mix of different genres. It also looked like he was having a blast for our whole wedding! Thanks so much for an amazing night. -

Nickolas T. Sent on 04/25/2023Ceremony DJs — A+, 5 stars, 10 out of 10!!!
Everything about our wedding was perfect, but the thing everyone consistently remarked on was how great the music was, and how awesome our DJ Benji was. He not only hit all the major marks of the day flawlessly with great timing and accuracy but he read the room and kept the dance floor full. When we were introduced to James and Benji of Ceremony DJs we knew we were in good hands and had nothing to worry about. They proved us right on our wedding day. Our big day wouldn't be the same without them. A+, 5 stars, 10 out of 10!!!
Thanks again!
Nick + Sophie
