    A memorable night!

    Central Coast Entertainment (CCE) is the best! Their DJ service was top-notch, keeping the crowd grooving and the atmosphere electric. Even when we fell behind schedule, our DJ adjusted and kept the energy high and never pressured us into rushing things. He also helped host our wedding games and brought the energy high throughout the night! CCE's professionalism, flexibility, and great service truly made our event unforgettable.

    DJ at our Reception!

    We had the pleasure of working with Aaron (please pardon my spelling mistakes) and it was the best decision ever! Aaron is the BEST DJ - he constantly checked in with me and my husband, he was making sure we have everything we need, he made sure he played all the songs we had requested and I have never danced in my life but I danced my heart out that night and all thanks to Aaron and to the entire Central Coast of Entertainment team - such a pleasure having them at our reception! :)

    Central Coast Entertainment's reply:

    We greatly appreciate the confidence you have placed in the CCE team. It has been a true privilege to be a part of your beautiful wedding day.

    Unforgettable Wedding Experience with Central Coast Entertainment

    We had the absolute BEST time with Central Coast Entertainment for our wedding in Jan 2024! Leo, the owner, was a legend – super easy to chat with and made sure everything was on point.

    Leo knew that our guests were ravers, and he surprised us with Co2 cannons and laser lights, turning our wedding into a dance party that our guests are still talking about. The energy was insane, and it made the night unforgettable.

    They also have a 360 photobooth that was a total hit with our guests! It added a unique touch that everyone loved, alongside the traditional photobooth.

    Shoutout to Central Coast Entertainment for going above and beyond to make our day epic. If you want a stress-free, fun vibe for your event, these guys are the real deal. Big thanks for making our wedding day so amazing!

    CCE was the best bilingual and fun DJ for our wedding!

    We chose CCE for our wedding Jan 2024 and they made our event fabulous! We were the first wedding of the year for them at The Ranch at Silver Creek in San Jose; they partnered with WedgeWood Weddings and provided a memorable experience for our special day. I am a bilingual bride and it was priceless to have DJs that understood my culture and the beauty of our music. We also had a "dancing in the clouds" moment where they had a fog machine release clouds on the dance floor--which amazed not only us but our guests! We got so many compliments from our guests in regards to the music and it was so wonderful to see everyone having such a great time. We were able to upload songs from our Spotify account onto their online portal which was so much more practical than having to write it out. I can only say wonderful things about CCE; they were the perfect team to host our wedding and it turned out as fun and special as it did because of their help. Thank you so much CCE!

    Thank you CCE!

    We loved working with CCE! They were very professional and flexible. We changed a few things last minute and they were able to accommodate without a problem! The photo booth was super fun and guests loved it! MC had the party going all night and DJ played good music! 1000/10 experience! Thanks Leo and everyone at Central Coast Entertainment for making our big day so fun and memorable!

    Above & Beyond

    We booked Leo for our wedding along with CCE Photo Booth. All of the CCE team treated us like family from beginning to end. From Leo taking a shot with my husband during one of our last meetings, to DJ Lupe's above and beyond service. The big day had a tight schedule and with so many people, time was flying by. Lupe really showed up for us through it all. He was constantly checking in with us, kept everything on time, and was always reminding us to eat even though it felt impossible at times. The whole team stepped up for us and really made a huge impression on us and all of our guests. Thank you Leo, Lupe, Elia & cce Team!! We will be using their services again for any future events. See you for our daughters quince you guys!! -Love Angel + Rose Ortiz

    The best wedding DJ!!

    CCE was recommended to us by our wedding venue Hyatt Carmel Highlands and we could not have been more impressed by the experience. The team was responsive to any questions we had, was very clear on the services they could provide, and we also had a meeting with the team to go over wedding playlists and timelines. While my husband and I hand picked each song and playlist ourselves, our DJ did a phenomenal job and mixing and constructing our playlist throughout the night and proving great lighting. All of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been to and the DJ and MC did a wonderful job overall.

    Amazing Experience!

    The whole team at CCE was exceptional and amazing. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had a change of plans and had to plan our wedding in two weeks. Leo and his team took the time to ensure they had a deep understanding of our music preferences and they helped us create a vision of our wedding despite only having less than two weeks to plan. By the end of our meeting with Leo and the team, we felt like they were part of our family. Our wedding surpassed our expectations and I would highly recommend CCE to anyone looking for professional, creative, caring entertainment services.

    Got the party going & kept it going

    we used central coast entertainment for DJ, MC & PhotoBooth services and not only were they friendly, made me feel comfortable and heard but they kept their promises. They kept the guests engaged, enjoying themselves as well as me and my now husband. Leo was great to work with throughout the entries process & Lupe kept us pumped and ready to dance the night away. The Photo Booth was great everyone loved that it was texted to their cellphones so no one lost it and I loved the album that I got the following day with the pictures of everyone in the booth!

    Thank you so much to the central coast team! A must have for your next event!

    Thank you for all that you do

    Central Coast Entertainment was the DJ/MC vendor Carmel Fields provided for our wedding. They did an amazing job for our wedding and we received so much compliments for how professional and to the point our MC and DJ were. No extra fluff, no non-sense, just pure entertainment for guests and us.

    I believe our MC's name is Ivan and DJ is Victor. They were super kind and fun. We also got Karaoke with CCE and Jerry did a terrific job setting things up and manning the process.

    Highly recommend working with CCE, whether you're going through a wedgewood venue or not. They are professional and the best.

    BEYOND SATISFIED with Central Coast Entertainment (CCE)!

    Our experience with CCE exceeded our expectations from our initial consultation all the way up to our wedding day.

    Given that we felt the anxiety of having to plan so many things for our wedding, it was so nice to have gotten in contact with Leo and the CCE Team. From our first consultation all the way up to our big day. We met with Leo first, he is charismatic and his attention to detail is above and beyond.

    It is clear that Leo and his team have high expectations for their business and they do not fall short. With the stress of planning a wedding, it was very comforting to have all our entertainment needs in one place. Leo and the CCE team provided us with Multiple Check-ins, Itinerary Planning, a DJ, an MC, Photo Booth with Props, a Couple's Montage on a Screen for the dance floor, and Sparkling Lights for our special dances. This was all available through their many adjustable packages - which was so nice to have.

    We could not have asked for more and what a huge relief to have worked with such pros who knew not only how to help guide our big night but also make the entire process fun. And the best part was how everyone on the team kept us as their primary focus of the night. They made it clear every step of the way that all their efforts were to make our day feel as memorable and special as possible for us!

    The best Deejay services available

    I can’t imagine a better deejay and MC to host an event. We are a Persian couple that requires a variety of different types of music. DJ, Lupe and the MC Ivan did such a fantastic job that we couldn’t have asked for a better night. All of our guests were so amazed of all the Persian music available but also all the other types of music that they were into. I highly recommend the services they are so professional and they really do a fantastic job making your night wonderful.

    Fun & Reliable

    I was so lucky to be able to hire CCE for my wedding! Leo called me right away and we set up a meeting, a meeting that led my dad and him to talk for a long time! It was actually that meeting with my father and Leo that really made me want to make sure that my wedding entertainment was handled by them. Not only did they make us feel heard, they made our choice feel safe with all the information and support they provided. Leo made sure that on my wedding day everything would be set up correctly, he took tons of videos and pictures of the venue to provide for his team (because my venue had a bit of a unique set up). He even offered some great advice while doing a venue walk about, he said "it's your wedding, you do what you want."-- And I really appreciated that. He had such a great attitude and sense of humor, he's really professional but personable--he's the best.

    The next great part of my experience was DJ Lupe, my entire process with phone calls and zooms were really fun. Initially he was just the point person to get my timeline down and mix any songs I had in mind. He was so down with my curated playlist and is a great DJ, but he wasn't assigned to me until a couple weeks before the wedding-- which was a huge surprise because I really wanted him to be the MC/DJ for my wedding. He did a great job infusing my playlist and working off of it for the entire wedding. My guests were really impressed with the music choice, and I can't thank him enough for helping my vision of mixing 2 non-traditional songs for my husband and I to walk down the aisle to. One really funny thing did happen, where a song I hate and requested to not be played started playing (not his fault, he was out pumping up the crowd and his assistant DJ put it on lol), and we both ran up to the booth he instantly knew what I wanted and cut the music lol.. it was actually really funny because we joked about it during a meeting. Honestly, the fact that he remembered and rushed to change the song just shows how much their entire team wants to make sure every part of your experience is what you want. Thank you so much to Leo, Elia, and Lupe for such a great experience. Music was the most important part of my wedding for me and they did not disappoint. I cannot recommend them enough, they are amazing! I hope to work with them again in the future.

    Professional, Memorable, and Fun

    We had the most incredible wedding reception, and it wouldn't have been the same without CCE. From the beginning you can tell this isn't your typical wedding DJ company. They actually took the time to meet with us and plan out the reception and vision we had for our wedding. On the day of the reception when they took charge, the energy soared, setting the perfect celebratory tone for all of our guests. The staff was not only professional but also attentive to our every need, ensuring a worry-free experience.

    CCE's meticulous planning and attention to detail transformed our reception into a memorable and top-notch event. The photo booths were a hit, impeccably organized, and our guests loved every moment. The music was exactly what was discussed and was tailored to our wants for the reception. What set CCE apart was the personal touch they added, making our day truly unique.

    We're beyond grateful for CCE's dedication and passion for what they do and it undoubtedly showed in their work. The owners went above and beyond, ensuring every aspect was perfect. Without a doubt, if you're looking for audio and visual expertise or a DJ for any type of event, CCE is the team you want by your side. We can't wait to work with them again and relive the magic they brought to our special day

    Dream Team

    I remember having conversations with CCE where I wouldn't let them off the phone because I insisted on giving them so much well-deserved praise for their openness to being creative and flexible with our grand entrance. I remember being so struck by their attention to detail and sheer commitment to making our wedding entertainment completely ours, including a WWE-type grand entrance while also playing everything from Backstreet Boys, Motley Crue, Bollywood, Selena, traditional Celtic drinking songs, and a cover of "Toss A Coin to Your Witcher." Most memorable was when we needed to have a recording of the wedding for my husband's grandparents who couldn't make it. Leo said he had no one else on his team who could do it so he personally came to make sure it got recorded because he knew it meant a lot to my husband. The entire time both he and Ivan checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and I couldn't be more grateful. They are an extremely talented, dedicated, kind, and creative group of thoughtful individuals and we were beyond lucky to have them at our wedding. Thank you again for everything.

    The best team for the best day

    We could have probably done more shopping around for a DJ than we did, but once we met Leo and saw his presentation, we were sold. Let me tell you, after our wedding is complete we are 100% sure we made the right decision. From the guest arrival to final song of the night, the experience with CCE was outstanding. We were specific, particular and rigid on the thing that we wanted and they worked tirelessly before and during the event to make sure all of our expectations were met. Our guests were blown away, and we are more than happy to provide not only a good review but a recommendation to anyone who needs a DJ, a photobooth, or an out of this world wedding experience.
