  DJ Matt - Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and good at getting people to dance!

  DJ Matt was awesome at our wedding! From our first conversation, I could tell he was really passionate and knowledgable about music - he basically is a walking music history book. A couple weeks before the the big day, we had a call where we went through the timeline and Matt asked us how we felt about various genres. He had a lot of great recommendations and helped us as we finished our song selections. The day of the wedding could not have gone better.. the dance floor was active all night long and Matt was incredibly friendly. He even went up to us several times and offered to get us drinks! I can't recommend Matt enough. 10/10

  DJ Matt is a great DJ and more importantly, a special person

  DJ Matt was incredible! From the first interview we had with him, until the moment he played our last dance, we felt as if he truly cared about us and understood that he was contributing to one of the most important days of our lives. We are low key, reserved people, and at first were hesitant about hiring a DJ that would make it too much of a clubby scene. Before we had a chance to tell him so, he started introducing himself, and his vision for weddings matched closely to what we had in mind. We told him our vision, and not only did he not judge us, but he also totally understood and was happy to help us make our vision come true.After our interview with Matt, we looked at each other and both knew we wanted to hire him. There were other great candidates for sure, but we knew it in our gut after one call with Matt.
  
  Another great benefit of hiring Matt, is that he also provides the option to play live music. Although we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour, when he was playing live, we were able to listen in the background and he sounded great. He even learned a song we asked him about two weeks before the wedding and played it. He built the playlist around what genres we like and filled in songs to fit the vibe and the crowd. The night was so much fun. The music vibe made everyone feel happy and comfortable to dance. It was such a special moment when all of our family and friends dancing together. Throughout the entire night, we had so many guests come to tell us how amazing the DJ was. A guest who himself is a DJ told me “your DJ is great”. We would frequently hear “oh I love this song!” from the crowd. We even had a guest come to tell us she was so impressed with the choice of prelude music. We will always cherish that Matt was part of our wedding. Last thing to say is, on the day of the wedding, he had such a friendly and comfortable vibe, and we could tell that he was genuinely happy to be there and celebrate with us. DJ Matt is a great DJ and more importantly, a special person. Thank you, Matt! – T&J

  Awesome DJ for our wedding our any event!

  We had a great experience with Matt who worked with us to play the music we loved, with great suggestions and responsiveness. He was friendly, easy to work with, and was a fantastic MC/DJ on the night of. Keep in mind that this was through 3 Covid postponements with date changes. We would absolutely recommend Choice Entertainment for any event!

  Matt is the best wedding DJ ever!!

  Matt was an incredible DJ, was so easy to work with and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away with Matt's music! The equipment was very impressive and the sound was of the highest quality. Matt was incredibly flexible over the last 2+ years when we had to adjust our dates 3 times, and we can't thank him enough for that!

  Fantastic Wedding DJ

  Matt was so wonderful to work with to plan our wedding day music and emcee-ing. We wanted a DJ who would do an exceptional job of getting people to dance and setting the mood. We gave him songs and genres we liked and he asked us some questions on what general styles were a hard no for us and which we loved. From that he created an amazing wedding sound that people were complimenting all night and after the wedding. He had literally everybody on the dance floor until the end. He does a cool thing where you pick a last song that everybody knows and can sing to- it was such a great way to end the night (or get the momentum going for the after party). His knowledge and experience working with our wedding venue, Darlington House, was also a plus, as he brought along lighting for the rose garden that worked perfectly. We can't recommend him enough to anybody searching. Ps- he can also play guitar if you want one person who can do live music for ceremony or cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception. Exceptional guy and exceptional value.

  Integral to the success of our wedding!

  DJ Matt was one of the best decisions we made with wedding planning! We live in Washington DC, but the wedding was in La Jolla. No problem, he met us in a Panera when we visted the summer before the wedding, calmly explaining all the little details, and asking all the questions to get to know us better as a couple and what our musical tastes are. Gay wedding, with pop diva music as a theme? NO PROBLEM, he was so excited about it and had some many great ideas. On the big day, so many little details I was anxious about, I had no reason to be. He mic'd the officiant, had mics for the readers, played music before the ceremony and as our recessional in coordination with live artists. Unlike some wedding DJ's, he did NOT make the reception about him, constantly giving needless commentary and cracking bad jokes, he was very low-key and stuck to the introductions and major announcements and such. People were dancing all night long, to the best music. Such a talented great guy, we're thrilled with our choice to hire him.

  He had us on the dance floor all night!

  We hired Matt for our wedding at The Thursday Club and could not have asked for a better DJ. From the start, he was super nice and accommodated our music requests while giving us suggestions on what songs would pair well and even helping us plan out our day-of timeline so our reception flowed better. We had about 3 hours of dancing at our wedding and it made me so happy to see that Matt had our guests on the dance floor for the majority of the night! He even worked with us to create a cohesive mix that would incorporate salsa and reggaeton for my Puerto Rican family, while still playing the classics and more modern music for our other guests. It was the perfect night and we could not recommend Matt enough for helping to make our wedding one we'll never forget!

  The audiophile's wedding DJ

  If you're a music snob throwing a wedding in San Diego or Boise, and you don't want your reception dance mix to sound like every other wedding you've been to, hire DJ Matt Phipps. He has a great ear for what gets people dancing while also being responsive to your tastes. Full disclosure: we gave him the longest "do not play" list I think anyone has ever given a wedding DJ, and he managed to give us a great party that guests were raving about after. Thank you, Matt!

  Best wedding DJ ever!

  Matt was a fantastic DJ, from the pre-ceremony classical music right through to the last dance of the night! The music flowed seamlessly all day and night. Thanks to his DJ skills, pretty much everyone at our wedding danced like crazy and didn't want it to end!
  
  Matt came highly recommended by our wedding planner. I met with him before the wedding and discussed the kinds of music that my fiance and I like. He was so helpful in guiding us, categorising our various tastes, and coming up with musical styles/themes for each part of the wedding. He is extremely knowledgeable about music, and we felt totally happy giving him some free rein as well as making specific requests. The result was a wedding playlist that was totally "us" but better, including songs we didn't know we liked! I would wholeheartedly recommend Matt if you are getting married in San Diego!

  Matt was everything we were hoping for from our DJ; the dance floor could not have been more energetic and packed and he was professional, authentic and never cheesy which was important for us. All of my vendors who had previously worked with him told us how great he was and they were absolutely right! He gave us tons of freedom as far as music choices but also had great suggestions, many of which we went with. He was also very flexible and did his thing along side a saxophonist who we hired to add to the dance party. His transitions between songs are seamless and he is the perfect addition to your team of vendors if you want a fun and memorable wedding!

  Matt was the best!! He was professional and very thoughtful. We talked with him a couple times before the wedding to review the details, and he was excellent the day of running our music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. At the reception, Matt kept all of our guests dancing the entire night - there was never a lull in dancing! I may be a bit biased as the bride, but he was by far the best wedding DJ I've ever heard!!!

  Planning a wedding from across the country was no walk in the park, but Matt made it easy and fun!! His amazing online system keeps you organized and comfortable along the whole way. I was able to sit at home and outline my whole wedding and the coordinating music with his online app that walks you through every moment in your wedding. In addition, he was always extremely easy to get a hold of, had an awesome grasp for what we wanted in the music, and an amazing knowledge of what would keep our friends on the dance floor. In addition, he recommended some great additional vendors for us to use. If every every vendor was as amazing and organized as Matt, wedding planning would be a breeze! :) Would use again for any event in San Diego!

  Thank you so much, Justine! I had a great time working with you both as well. I knew you would have a beautiful wedding, but I didn't know you would have such a fun crowd and an amazing dance party! Thanks for the review, and take care!

  I cannot say enough how amazing Matt was for our wedding!!! We had a destination wedding, so we didn't get to have a chance to meet Matt face to face before the actual wedding, but we had many phone sessions with him in order to plan for the reception. He was always professional, on time, and asked all of the right questions and accommodated anything that my husband or I wanted. I was very worried about how to get things during the reception to run smoothly and how to seamlessly run through different parts of the reception (first dance, food, dancing, bouquet and garter toss, etc.) My worries were very quickly at an end because of Matt. We walked about the order and time of events on the phone, and I didn't even have to think about the order of events during the reception. Matt took care of EVERYTHING! He made things so smooth and seamless that the reception seemed to flow without a single problem!
  
  I just want to say, if you are a huge Star Wars fan, do yourself a favor and have Matt as your DJ!!! We had a few Star Wars twists for our reception and Matt was so enthusiastic and excited for it!! He is a huge nerd himself!!! He had great suggestions for us on how to incorporate Star Wars music and even pointed out my R2-D2 socks when we were playing the shoe game.
  
  Having Matt at the reception was my favorite thing about our wedding day. He is the best vendor I dealt with for the ceremony or reception. I had a blast planning the reception with him, he is a great person to talk to! My words really don't do him justice, he is AMAZING at what he does and he really worked hard to make our reception memorable and smooth! Do yourself a favor and have Matt as the DJ at your event, he will go above and beyond your expectations and you will not be disappointed.

  Matt was recommended to us through a friend in the Wedding industry. The minute I booked my wedding date she told us we had to book Matt first thing. It was the best decision we made. He was easy to work with and took time to meet with us to get our vision for the perfect wedding dance part and then made it happen. If you want your guests on the dance floor Matt is your best choice! He was also awesome working with our tricky venue layout and suggesting the best lighting/sound options for us.

  We would give Matt 6 stars if possible! His passion for his craft was evident from our first meeting. I've had friends from our wedding ask for his contact or if he made playlists that they could listen to! We have an eclectic taste in music but Matt kept a perfect vibe in each phase from seating to cocktail hour to reception to *dance party*. His professionalism and initiative took a lot of stress out of our planning (he was always ready to meet or even text about song choices if we had some new ideas). He also did a fantastic job as MC, especially for the reception and traditional dances, keeping it classy, inviting, and fun. I know DJs get tired after a couple years, but I hope that Matt will continue pursuing his passion for a long, long time because his attitude, talent and dedication *made* our wedding.

  Matt is an absolute delight to work with. He was everything we could have hoped for and more. Matt is very professional, knows how to read an audience, and above all he loves what he does. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely have Matt DJ in a heartbeat. Our wedding was amazing and Matt contributed hugely to that success!! A million thanks to DJ Matt Phipps!

  I can not tell you enough great things about Matt! We just had our wedding 2/25/17 and besides my husband and I being so happy my guests were as well. Everyone came up to us to tell us how much fun they had and how great our DJ was. As I planned my wedding the only trouble I knew I would find is a DJ. I randomly just searched local DJ and Choice Entertainment came up. I looked at Matts website and knew immediately I wanted to meet with him. His website originally sold me. He explained so well about himself and how we likes to DJ for weddings that I felt like I already knew him and he would do exactly what I wanted. Upon meeting with Matt I didn't even need to decide anything, I said pull up a contract.
  
  The process was so fun. Matt knows his music and got to know us as a couple and what we wanted for our wedding. We explained our music preference and the flow we were looking for. He was right on track as well. His client portal is so easy to do and helps a lot with planning. We sat with him to get an idea of flow and music choices from processional, cocktail hour vibe , and reception. We could go back and make changes as the year passed. We were able to request music so he had an idea of the style we liked and went with it.
  
  As the wedding neared I met with Matt one last time to go over details. He looked at my music choices and was helpful on so many levels. He was able to edit some music choices to fit (father daughter dance) and select the vibe for cocktail hour using our music requests and same for reception. We also discussed lighting. DO THE INTELLIGENT LIGHTING. The lighting options are great and really pulled the ballroom together.
  
  When I walked into the reception I couldn't believe how beautiful the lighting looked. As the reception began the music was on point! Matt has a way of feeling a crowd and adjusts music accordingly. We had a mix of guests ages and EVERYONE was on the dance floor. It was never empty. VERY HAPPY!

  Matt was a pleasure to work with. He came highly recommended from our wedding planner due to his value, which was important to us. We locked him in about a year in advance. During the 3 months leading up to the wedding, we realized we would need his help for indoor lighting and sound amplification for our ceremony. Matt was very flexible and helped us get all of our needs met without breaking the bank. At the wedding, he was fantastic as well. Solid music throughout with a good dance party going. He also helped my husband think through some of our key songs, such as our exit and our "first guest dance song". I highly recommend Matt to anyone in San Diego!

  If you are looking for a fantastic DJ for your wedding, then there is no better choice than Matt. He provides exceptional service, is responsive to any needs you have and is super professional. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to weddings, but always lets you make your own decisions and provides input when request. He recently DJ'd my wedding and did a great job with the ceremony, and kept people dancing all night at the reception.

  Honestly, don't look any further if you're looking for a DJ - Matt is the BEST! From our first meeting, I knew he would be a great match for our wedding. He really took time to get to know us as a couple and exactly what type of music and vibe we wanted for our big day. One day he even took the time to meet my mom and I up in Temecula on a Saturday at our venue just to see exactly how many lights we would need so we didn't have to pay for anything unnecessary. We had such a blast hanging out with him!
  My husband and I moved to Chicago before our wedding in San Diego so about two weeks before the wedding he had no problem Skyping us to go over final details for the wedding. I gotta say, our wedding day was completely flawless. Everything from the music to me walking down the aisle, cocktail hour and all the transitions throughout the evening was PERFECT. My husband and I were even saying during dinner how thankful we were for Matt!
  Now let's talk about the dancing. From the start, I wanted my wedding to be a big, fun dance party. And let me tell you, it was!! I myself was on the dance floor for over two hours and our friends and family had a blast. It truly was a big party and weeks later (we got married 6/25/16), we're still getting compliments from friends and family by how awesome our music was. I can't express how truly grateful we are that Matt was our DJ - he really did make our big day perfect. The best part about Matt though, is that he really did become our friend in the process.
  So if you're looking for a wonderful DJ and MC for either your wedding or big event there's no question - Matt is your guy!

  My wife and I met with a quite a few DJ's while trying to find the right person to DJ our wedding. We are both music people and it was important for us to hire someone that understood our musical taste, as well as someone who didn't come across as the "cheesy wedding DJ" type. As soon as we met with Matt, we knew we had found a DJ who embodied what we had in mind and hiring him was a must!
  
  Matt's knowledge of music is impressive. This came across in our first meeting when he dropped a few of our favorite indie bands, and we immediately hit it off! As we got closer to the wedding, we built or relationship and we were even able to seamlessly share our playlists via Spotify in order to get on the same page.
  
  A few other things that impressed us about Matt: I wanted to surprise my wife by playing our first dance to a vinyl version of the song, so when I asked him if he could play records with his equipment because, he jumped at the idea. I also needed Matt's help to create a surprise mash up for the Mother/Son dance, which he was stoked to work on and definitely worked to get the party started! Finally, he threw an epic party without the distracting announcements or goofy games, which was also very important to us.
  
  All in all, Matt was excellent to work with and was so excited to partner with us on executing our vision. He worked closely with out other vendors that night to ensure all executed seamlessly. The dance floor was packed all night! I would 100% recommend his services for anyone who's looking for a DJ who is a true music expert and who uses the music get people dancing, not his voice on the mic! His is a genuinely great person and we absolutely loved working with him!

  Matt is a good guy, easy to work with, detail oriented. He thought of things we should add to our wedding playlist that we hadn't considered, and helped us weed out some things that wouldn't have fit. He came prepared, his equipment was ready to go, and he kept the show running on time. Great job.

  We had a great experience with Matt. We hit it off right away and felt really comfortable discussing ideas. We discussed our musical taste at length and with Matt's input we ended up with an awesome playlist. The night of our wedding was perfect. The music really set the tone, kept everyone engaged, and got great reviews from our guests. We also opted for some lighting. At first we hadn't really thought about lighting, but ultimately decided to go with the up-lighting which really brought our venue to life. We were very pleased and would absolutely recommend Matt's services. -C&J
