Sydney Sent on 12/10/2023The best dance party ever
SCDJ was incredible in helping my wedding go off without a hitch. So organized, so calm, we even had people asking us if Trevor was our coordinator! He was just awesome. The ceremony music and sound system was perfect, as well as coordination when it came time to announce us into dinner, start on speeches, and our first dance. During cocktail hour, people were coming up to us complimenting the music! We then had the best dance party I’ve even been a part of, where he took requests, and played music off of the very long list of songs that my husband and I sent him. The lighting in the space was also incredible! After the wedding, he helped coordinate a silent disco for the wedding party and even let some of my up and coming DJ friends DJ for a bit. Would highly recommend for your wedding, it made a huge difference for us. -

Melissa Sent on 10/17/2023Highly recommend! We love you Scott!
AMAZING DJ company! Would highly recommend them and their Photo booth option. We had Scott as our DJ at the Waterfall Lodge and he crushed it! We wanted a more unique playlist than the lame classic wedding music that is over played in our opinion. I told Scott what we were looking for in regards to our cocktail hour, dinner and reception with only a few songs to go off of and it was everything we dreamed of. He read the crowd perfectly by playing a few throw backs (the good ones that aren't over played) from time to time to include everyone and all ages along with the house music we were wanting. Everyone had a blast. This company also knew our wedding venue like the back of their hand and setup seemed to be a breeze for them without any issues. Thanks so much Scott!!! 😍 -

We hired Santa Cruz DJ Company for our wedding and were extremely happy with their professional services. Scott was our DJ, and he helped move our event along seamlessly and kept our guests entertained and dancing all night. I highly recommend this company for your wedding. We also added the photo booth, which is an option for your package; our guests had a lot of fun taking pictures with each other and the couple gets copies to enjoy as a fun memento of your event. -

My husband and I booked Santa Cruz DJ for our wedding and we had an absolute blast working with them. They were extremely responsive and professional, flexible throughout the planning process, and delivered exactly what we wanted for our event. Kamau was our DJ for the wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the energy and music he brought to the day. He was so friendly and laid back, and everything seemed to just flow so effortlessly throughout all phases of the wedding and reception. We can’t say enough positive things about Santa Cruz DJ and highly recommend them for your event! Thank you guys!! -

Santa Cruz DJ was phenomenal! Scott was our DJ and he couldn't have been more amazing. He helped create a reception that was truly magical. He consulted with us on our music list and run of show before the event and then did such a wonderful job as emcee for the night that I got a ton of comments and compliments from our guests on how fantastic the evening was and how wonderful he was. Highly recommend. -

Trevor is a master MC and he absolutely killed it at our wedding. He is THE best DJ I have ever heard and also just a really nice guy. He's an ultimate professional and everything went so smoothly for our day. From coordinating my fiancé and our string quartet to play his guitar and serenade me during my procession, from all the announcements and mics, to of course the most epic dance party ever. The music was on point and it couldn't have been better. Our wedding was perfect and Trevor and his crew made it possible. Thank you so, so much! -

Nicole Sent on 10/04/2022Scott Vaughn is thee BEST!
I can't recommend Scott @ Santa Cruz DJ Company enough. We had our initial call with Trevor, he answered all our questions with ease and we loved his energy and down to earth spirit. He said we'd be in good hands with Scott Vaughn as our Wedding DJ and he DID NOT LIE. From the very beginning the process was so so easy with a Google Doc to add our Spotify playlists and make sure all our "must play" songs were added. Scott was totally open to letting me be a complete control freak over the music. He executed everything perfectly! Scott was one of our most raved about vendors, as all our friends could not get over how dope his transitions were from song to song. It was also great to look over and see him singing along and having a good time with us. We take music pretty seriously so it was definitely cool to see he enjoyed our music selections. Also, his personality was just 10/10, such a gracious and kind spirit, he definitely fit the vibe of our wedding. He was also the very last vendor to pack up and leave for the night, and even let us use his speaker to keep the party going while he broke down his gear. If you hire Santa Cruz DJ Company, definitely ask for Scott Vaughn! -

Emma Sent on 09/04/2022Exceptional!
My husband and I just got married and hired Scott Vaughn from Santa Cruz DJ Company to DJ our wedding at Hollins House. Before we met Scott, we coordinated the planning with Trevor who was simply amazing. He took the time to speak to us and was very easy going and made sure to answer all of our questions. He was very organized and provided a simple way for us to pick the music we wanted (and didn’t want) at our reception.
Leading up to the wedding, we were connected with Scott who immediately emphasized that he would do everything he could to make sure we enjoyed our wedding day and he delivered. With Scott’s help the day went exactly according to plan. Scott made sure to give us a heads up as we transitioned throughout the stages of the day and there were no hiccups with background music or any of the mics during speeches and toasts. When it comes to the more traditional aspects of a DJ’s responsibilities, Scott excelled. He was able to read the energy of the dance floor and keep our guests engaged. In particular, he lined up two songs that brought every single guest onto the dance floor!
Thank you Scott and Trevor for giving us such a stress free and fun DJ experience! -

Anthony Sent on 08/31/2022Crushed it!
Trevor and his team are the ultimate professionals. They are easy to communicate with, timely, and worked incredibly well with our other vendors for our wedding in Carmel-by-the-Sea this past weekend. We selected Trevor to DJ at our wedding. He played all our requested songs for our cocktail hour and dinner service. Our specialty dances were trimmed and faded out at all the perfect times. Additionally, he took many of our requested songs and genres and seamlessly created an incredible mix for the reception that catered to all of our guests. Lastly, Trevor made my wife and me feel super comfortable and supported by periodically checking in with us throughout the evening to ensure everything ran smoothly.
We received several compliments from our wedding guests about how much they loved the music! Trevor and his team also accommodated a semi-last-minute request for a photo booth with complete ease. If you need a DJ for any event from the Bay to Carmel, please support this family-owned and operated business! -

Trevor was the DJ for our wedding and did an amazing job! Throughout the whole process, he was easy to communicate with, organized, professional, and personable. He knew exactly what to do and we had many compliments on the music throughout the wedding. Our guests had so much fun on the dance floor thanks to Trevor's mix of songs. We highly recommend SCDJ, and specifically Trevor! -

Scott was our wedding DJ and absolutely killed it. He flawlessly executed the music for the entire day and we had so many people remark about how fun the dance floor music was. Throughout the process, Santa Cruz DJ Company was fantastic to work with -- very accommodating and knowledgeable and responsive. We'd work with this company again in a heartbeat! -

Brittney Sent on 04/25/2022Scott is a blast!
I'll be honest, I was a little nervous at first because I'd been corresponding with Trevor up until the wedding and then found out a few weeks before we would actually be working with Scott. Turns out I had nothing to worry about, because Scott was a blast! Very professional, helped with a lot of behind the scenes action to keep the party on course and just all around a really great DJ! Highly recommend! -

Kristine Sent on 04/11/2022Perfect DJ!
Santa Cruz DJ Company came highly recommended by our venue and our venue and everyone told us we needed to hire Trevor, so we did! In fact, when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, we made sure to choose a date when Trevor was free, and we're glad we did. Trevor is professional and responsive and he truly listens to what you want. He sent us a template to fill in regarding our music likes and dislikes and what we wanted for the ceremony, reception and dancing. The sound was seamless throughout the ceremony and toasts, and our guests had a ton of fun on the dance floor. Thank you Trevor and the Santa Cruz DJ Company for a great time! -

Rooted Sent on 01/06/2022DJ Trevor is exceptional!
We are an event coordinating business, Rooted Hearts and had the pleasure of working with DJ Trevor at a wedding at The Waterfall Lodge in December 2021. Trevor was fantastic to work with--he was so on top of every moment of the day from set up at the ceremony site to the lights and party time on the dance floor!
Our favorite was the absolutely EPIC dance in the clouds he set up in the redwoods, on a cold winter night, it was beyond words. He pivoted when needed, adjusted timelines when needed and overall just had the best personality to DJ a wedding or any event for that matter. We can't wait to work with him again! -

Kelsi Sent on 12/03/2021The BEST DJ company in Santa Cruz!
We absolutely LOVED working with SC DJ Co. They were so easy to work with from the start and truly blew us away at our actual wedding. After a COVID postponement, we had crazy rain on our wedding day and Trevor was so calm and helpful with things that didn't even relate to him and his "duties". Trevor also did an incredible job with curating our playlist... our guests had SO much fun dancing! He also put together a custom mash-up for our father-daughter dance and it was PERFECT! Josh was fantastic with MC-ing and facilitating the projector and speakers for our rehearsal dinner. And of course, their photo booth was SO fun and left us with priceless memories. Their pricing is totally reasonable and their contracting/payment process are very easy with everything being processed online. I wish I could host all my events in the SC area so I could hire SC DJ Co. again and again and again!!! -

Thank you SO MUCH for helping make our wedding day the best day ever! Santa Cruz DJ Company was such a pleasure to work with during the planning process, and Kamau was absolutely AMAZING on our day!!
Kamau was our perfect DJ match, fitting our personality and vibe 100%! He handled the ceremony music seamlessly, and then helped set the tone for the cocktail hour, dinner and especially kept us all dancing through the night!
Can’t imagine working with another DJ company and especially another DJ during our special day! We had such a perfect mix of professional yet laid back and super cool vendors and Kamau was just amazing! :) -

Hannah Sent on 10/28/2021Excellent experience with SCDJ Company!
WONDERFUL. When my husband and I got engaged, the first vendor we reached out to once we had our date was Santa Cruz DJ Company. We have now been to 3 family and friend weddings with Santa Cruz DJ company playing, and every single one has been so much fun. Trevor replied to every question I asked faster than any other vendor, and was extremely supportive and accommodating with the shifts that happened to our wedding due the pandemic. He is organized, thoughtful, and helpful in ensuring that all your music for the day is exactly what you have in mind (and I love a good google doc for organization, which they use!). He even helped us get set up last minute with a photo booth!! On the actual day, Trevor went above and beyond what you would typically expect from a DJ - he checked in with us throughout the night on the flow of events, got us drinks (!), and kept us on schedule while creating room for flexibility in areas where it was needed. The music was SO GOOD, all of our guests raved about it, and my husband and I never left the dance floor all night. Including during the final hour, we asked pretty last minute if Trevor knew of anyone who did Silent Disco, and of course he immediately replied letting us know he had a set of headphones and we could do that for the last hour. Highly recommend, it was a huge hit and it was the best part of the night and our guests are still talking about it.
My husband and I have been to many weddings together - with both DJs and bands - and Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ company take the cake. We can't thank them enough! -

Amazing. Santa Cruz DJ made our September 2021 wedding in Aptos, CA absolutely magical. They were very flexible and helpful with all of the pre-planning and then also helped us after our wedding by sharing the playlists that they used during our event. Highly recommend! -

Sharon Sent on 10/11/2021Santa Cruz DJ rocked our wedding!
Can't say enough about how wonderful Santa Cruz DJ Company is! From start to finish they provide excellent service and a quality job. Trevor was instrumental in putting together our first dance "mashup" track, which really added to our wedding fun. He is a great emcee and really flawless at what he does. He kept things flowing with little or no effort required from us. I felt comfortable the whole night knowing that with his expertise everything was totally under control. Trevor is very personable and kept the music popping. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor and everyone had such a great time. I would highly recommend Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ Company for any event you may be planning. Thanks so much Trevor for making our dream wedding so very special! -

Maura Sent on 10/04/2021Amazing DJ who kept the dance floor going until the very very end!
We hired Santa Cruz DJ for our July 2021 wedding and would hire Trevor and his team again in a HEARTBEAT for any event in the future!
In the planning stages, Trevor was SO pleasant to work with and made sure to understand what we wanted, and what we definitely did not want and made sure to keep everything organized that had a specific song or toast for the wedding to go smoothly. When I told him that we wanted to mix 2 different songs into one for the Father/Daughter dance, he without hesitation offered to do that for us and delivered it in enough time to get some practice in before the wedding!
From the ceremony, to dinner to the reception, he was amazing. He knows how to read a crowd and make sure everyone is having a good time - there wasn’t a single moment once it started that the dance floor wasn’t full of people! To make the night even more special, he coordinated with our photographer to make my (former amateur dj) husband’s wedding dream come true of getting behind the DJ booth to play some songs! We HIGHLY recommend Santa Cruz DJ if you want to have an amazing party and easy-going DJ to work with! -

DJ Louie was great! He was a great entertainer for us, the music quality was solid, his announcements were on point, and he was a fun guy to have at our wedding! We appreciated how he called us on the phone to confirm everything the weeks before the ceremony so we were all on the same page.
Would definitely recommend! -

Maya Sent on 08/25/2021Trevor is amazing!
We hired Santa Cruz DJ for our wedding and had a wonderful experience! Music was a very important factor for us, so we made our DJ selection carefully and were not disappointed.
Like many couples, the pandemic interfered with our original wedding plans, leading us to go through 1 big postponement and multiple guest count changes. Trevor was flexible, communicative and understanding throughout the process. Trevor really put in effort in advance to make sure he understood our plans and what we wanted. He is truly talented, and managed to understand our music taste perfectly from the list of requests we gave him and to keep people dancing throughout the reception. I really appreciated him checking in with us throughout the night and keeping things running so smoothly. He's also just a pleasant, nice guy! I would 100% recommend Santa Cruz DJ for your wedding or any other event. -

Michaela Sent on 06/13/2021A night we won’t ever forget!
We feel truly lucky to have had a wedding that didn’t feel like a covid wedding and a big reason why it was so much fun was because of the music! We shared with Scott our suggestions of what we like and what we wanted included and he 100% understood what vibe wanted. Also we had a unique first dance and he was very flexible and worked with us to make sure we had what we needed to perform! Icing on the cake was how personable and friendly both Trevor and Scott were - thanks to them we had an amazing night we won’t ever forget! -

Santa Cruz DJ and Trevor (the owner) was fantastic to work with! He was really organized, sent us templates and confirmed with us what to do ahead of time, and with vague directions like "some 2000s dance nostalgia is what our group likes" he came up with music that really got everyone moving! -

DJ Trevor Williams made our wedding an ABSOLUTE BLAST!
We recently had our wedding in November 2019 at Roaring Camp and we had the best time ever. Our guests could not rave enough about how much fun they had which, no doubt, was credited to our awesome DJ.
He was an excellent MC and gave us the energy we wanted at our wedding- especially since my only goal was to DANCE the whole night which I absolutely did.
Not only did he keep people on the dance floor, Trevor was super easy to communicate with. He was thoughtful, genuine, quick to respond to emails, and made us feel incredibly special. He even greeted us with our first drink of the night right after our ceremony and we felt well cared for by his attention to detail.
He recommended music for us and also was very organized about getting our important details (ceremony music, first dances, etc.) Not only that, he was familiar with our venue and did all the sound set up for our ceremony in the redwood grove at Roaring Camp.
I'm so glad we hired Trevor and will highly recommend him. Hiring DJ Trevor Williams was hands down one of the best decisions we made.
Thank you so much Trevor!!
