Josh was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and we truly cannot recommend him enough.We originally found him through Zola, and he responded quickly to our inquiry. Within just a few days, we had a Zoom/Teams meeting set up where he walked us through a full presentation covering his services, options, add-ons, and how he approaches weddings. From that first meeting, it was clear he was organized, experienced, and genuinely invested in helping us create the kind of day we wanted.After signing the contract, we were given access to his planning portal, which made the whole process so easy. The portal included forms for the ceremony, key people and contact information, song lists for every part of the day, and even questions about us as a couple so that when Josh spoke during the reception, he had real talking points and could make everything feel personal.Our wedding had two venues: Pasadena City Hall for the ceremony and my aunt and uncle’s backyard in South Pasadena for the reception. Pasadena City Hall was an epic pain in the butt logistically, but also so, so amazing — and Josh handled all of it beautifully. He worked around city restrictions and requirements, answered our many questions, and helped us think through the details of having two separate setups.Closer to the wedding, we had another Zoom/Teams meeting where we really hashed out the timeline for the day and how everything would flow. Because Josh had to manage two setups, it was something we needed to plan carefully, and he made the whole process feel calm and manageable. The day itself ran so smoothly because of that preparation.On the wedding day, Josh went above and beyond. He did his reception setup at the house before heading to City Hall, including uplighting, which I honestly did not fully understand until I saw it in person. It ended up being absolutely perfect with the backyard setup we had created — a bougie lounge vibe with blacks, silvers, and candlelight. At the ceremony, he had a clean, easily transportable setup that worked perfectly for the space.One of the extra things we loved was that Josh took photos throughout the day — at the ceremony, around the site, and during the reception. We had no idea he was doing this, and it was such a fun surprise. Since we knew we would only get a small handful of sneak peeks from our photographer while waiting for the full gallery, having those extra photos from Josh was incredibly special.Most importantly, Josh created an amazing party. When we gave him music ideas, we approached it as “these are the songs we would dance to, and these are the songs our friends said would get them on the dance floor.” He took that and turned it into such a fun, seamless dance party. The music felt like us, the flow of the night felt effortless, and our guests had the best time.Josh made the entire process easy, organized, personal, and stress-free. He was professional, thoughtful, flexible, and just genuinely great to work with. We are so happy we hired him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who can handle both the planning side and the party side flawlessly.
