    Highly 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!!! 😍

    "The Best DJ Ever!"

    We highly recommend using Santa Cruz DJ Company for your wedding music! Our DJ, Louie, was absolutely AMAZING!! Prior to our big day, Louie talked to us about our vision and shared a little background on himself. He was beyond helpful throughout our wedding and often asked us if there was anything he could do to help. We had so many guests that said “This DJ is amazing!” or “This is the best wedding DJ ever!” He played a great mix of songs and encouraged people of all ages to get out there on the dance floor. From our 92 year old grandma to our 7 year old niece, everyone had a great time. We cannot recommend Santa Cruz DJ company and Louie enough!

    Hire! Worth every penny!

    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.

    You Won't Regret Hiring Santa Cruz DJ!!

    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!!

    Scott is the best!

    Scott did an absolutely wonderful job as DJ/MC for our wedding! The sound level and quality for the music and mics at our ceremony was perfect. After providing him with just a few artists and genres that we liked, he curated a full set of music for each segment of our reception that felt incredibly true to our tastes in music, with transitions that felt smooth and natural. Scott was also great about guiding us and our guests through the mini events during the reception (the introductions, the toasts, the cake cutting, etc.). He made sure we all knew what was happening and that we were ready to go before moving forward. Our event ran so smoothly and maintained a beautiful sense of celebration, love, and joy all throughout the day, which was due in no small part to Scott's professionalism and kindness. Additionally, booking through SCDJ was easy and they were always responsive to our emails. We recommend SCDJ wholeheartedly, and can't thank Scott enough!

    A Fantastic Job by Santa Cruz DJ Company

    For our wedding in Ben Lomond, we worked with Santa Cruz DJ company and they were spectacular! Trevor and his team are experts in the Santa Cruz area when it comes to music and sound for your wedding and we can definitely attest to that! They are easy to work with and know all the ins and outs of the wedding day thus making your life so much easier! We specifically worked with Kamau for our wedding and he was great! He controlled the flow of the day and did a fantastic job with announcements and music! It was very easy to work with this chill dude on our wedding day and we really had a great time with him running the show. Again, we were so pleased with what we got with SCDJ and can't recommend them enough for others who are looking to get married in the Santa Cruz area! Awesome crew!

    Book book book!

    Book book book! The entire experience with SC DJ company was incredible. Amazing communication—timely, clear, and accommodating to all of my (many) questions. We specifically booked Trevor and he was AMAZING! Best energy and never a dull moment. Every aspect of the sound and photobooth experience was incredibly smooth.
    Thank you Trevor and team for making our wedding unforgettable!!

    The 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.

    Trevor was amazing!!

    Trevor and his team were INCREDIBLE. I cannot recommend them enough for any kind of event you are having. Trevor Dj’d our wedding day and he caught onto the vibe of everyone quick and made it such a fantastic evening. The amount of compliments we received about him afterwards were insane. We would have had him play all night long for us if we could have. Thank you SCDJ company for making our wedding day amazing!!

    Great Wedding DJ

    Joshua was the DJ for our wedding. We got several quotes and they had the best package and best pricing.
    The pre-event consultation was simple and helpful.
    They did a great job setting up audio and music for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and the dancing afterwards.
    Very impressed with the professionalism. Would highly recommend!

    Phenomenal wedding DJ

    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.

    Excellent Experience!

    We hired Santa Cruz DJ Company for our daughter's wedding at Sequoia Retreat Center in Ben Lomond, CA. Trevor was our DJ of choice and he did an excellent job! He was very patient with the bride and groom who were hard to get a hold of and late in filling out the planning document. Trevor never pressured them and just helped them get it done.

    Trevor was very professional in his attire, presentation, and master of ceremony duties. The sound quality of his equipment was top notch!

    I really enjoyed the entire experience with Trevor, and would highly recommend him for any DJ needs you may have!

    Best DJ ever

    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!

    Crushed 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!

    Exceptional!

    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!

    The Best DJ!

    We are so happy we had Trevor as our wedding DJ! He was so easy to work with and such a fun presence at our wedding. I sent him a couple of playlists and he seamlessly added in songs to fill out the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing time. We were so impressed by the way he perfectly timed the first dance and parent dance songs, the ceremony song, and each individual song during dancing so that they started at just the right time and never went too long. We got so many compliments on the amazing DJ! Thank you so much, Trevor — we highly recommend Trevor and Santa Cruz DJ to anyone planning a wedding or other event!

    A dance party all our guests are raving about!!

    Our DJ, Scott, was incredible! He kept our wedding schedule on track the whole day. The folks who gave toasts were impressed by how helpful he was getting them ready for their big speeches. With his song selection and transitions all our wedding invitees were out on the dance floor until it was time to head home! If you want a big dance party - definitely work with Santa Cruz DJ Company!!

    They Bring the Right Energy!

    Trevor knew exactly the right energy to bring to our wedding! His process to select music was simple, easy, and if you had questions he was available to help with suggestions. He was very kind and respectful to everyone, he even helped get myself and the bride beverages when we were doing our post ceremony photos. As soon as he started up the music for our reception there were people on the dance floor! Trevor makes you feel like your day is the most important day to him as well, even though we know he is booked up and busy with plenty of clients!

    Cannot Recommend Them Enough!!

    My husband and I got married at the end of June 2022. Trevor was our DJ, and he was absolutely incredible. He did an amazing job of getting everyone of all ages out on the dance floor. SO many of our guests commented on how great our DJ was all weekend and people are still talking about it. But not only is Trevor a talented DJ, he is also a wonderful person. I knew within minutes of talking to him back in 2020 that we were going to hire him. It was immediately evident that he is so kind and genuine. He was more than willing to answer all of my questions and is very responsive. And really, it felt more like talking to a friend than a business interaction. On the day of our wedding, he went above and beyond, even bringing drinks out to us while we were taking photos. I seriously cannot recommend Santa Cruz DJ Company and Trevor enough!!

    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!

    Scott 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!

    They Bring The Party

    Santa Cruz DJ was THE BEST! We hired them for our wedding, and Josh was our DJ. Josh brings all the good vibes!

    We like pretty unconventional dance music (think Lightening in a Bottle/Dirtybird/Do LaB vibes) and wanted mostly that played, plus some groovy 70s tunes.. sprinkled with some pop songs earlier in the night that all the guests could enjoy… maybe some old 2000s rap if the vibe was right… and a ‘spontaneous’ soul train to break out at some point… you know, just totally common, uncomplicated requests hahaha.. But all those crazy requests are exactly what we were hoping for and Josh completely nailed it! I’m positive most people would have felt like all our odd requests made us major pain-in-the-ass clients to work with, but Josh was soo cool and supportive of all our weird ideas, and was down to help make it all happen.

    They gave us an awesome worksheet to fill out that broke down each part of the wedding and what songs we wanted for every part of the day, which was SUPER organized and cool. We had my cousin sing the song that I walked down the aisle to, and Josh was so helpful and worked with us to coordinate what mics were needed and everything. Then we wanted a song to be timed with our first kiss - like in the sandlot when Squints kisses Wendy Peffercorn - and Josh knew exactly what we were talking about and made that happen too! We had crazy last minute rain and needed to move the entire wedding indoors just a day before the wedding and Josh was so kind and easy going and helped make it all work for us - just totally stress free.

    I’m beyond grateful for everything Josh did for us to make our wedding totally amazing. If you want someone who is fun to work with, cares about customizing your day to fit you, super chill, and goes above and beyond for you, look no further, Josh and Santa Cruz DJs got you!

    Perfect 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!
