Jesse was such a great DJ and worked with us to make sure we were able to hear music we loved. He kept our dance floor packed for 2 hours and we received endless compliments from our guests! APB was so easy to work with and the portal was very easy to use as well. We would highly recommend them to any couple, they’re so flexible and can really cater the music to your personality!

AWARD WINNER (10X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Nothing is better than celebrating all night long with your wedding guests on a packed dance floor! The right DJ who is able to guide the celebration with the perfect mix of music is a must.
The problem is, finding a DJ who you can trust is overwhelming. It's not as easy as hiring your friend to pull together a Spotify playlist. The person behind the mic represents you to your guests - they must know how to guide the evening perfectly without being cheesy, boring, overbearing, over-talkative, and unprofessional.
Your celebration of LOVE deserves the perfect party - not an evening of awkward starts, stops, and cringe.
We understand how important and meaningful this big day is for you; the last thing you want is the focus to be taken away from the moment. That's why David Nazario started A Perfect Blend Entertainment in 2009. He saw way too many couples not getting what they were promised by their DJs. Now, after serving thousands of couples and building an entertainment business with a team of over 10 DJs, A Perfect Blend knows how to partner with couples to choreograph the perfect celebration that flows from start to finish.
Our job is to amplify what's most important - YOU (the couple), your guests, and the celebration. To make this happen, our process is simple:
First, we take time to listen and dream about your big day.
Next, we plan and prepare, from schedules to playlists to meeting with your DJ; we'll get the details set so you can go into your wedding worry-free.
Lastly, you'll celebrate and dance! With precision, your event will flow, energy rising till everyone is out of their chairs, singing, yelling, and jumping on the dance floor.
So Plan Your Celebration with A Perfect Blend. We'll help you avoid having an empty dance floor with guests slipping out early. Instead, your evening will flow from beginning to end. Guests will be talking years later about your wedding celebration.
Plan Your Celebration Today with A Perfect Blend Entertainment.

- David NazarioOwnerA short bio about me. I started out like most DJs and found a passion for doing weddings. Something about celebrating LOVE felt right. Since I realized my passion for doing weddings, I sought out some of the best in the DJ industry. I studied under them and now, I know I am among the best. To me, weddings are more than music, it is something like a Broadway show that has many moving parts. We have to manage vendors, Maitre D, timing and flow. When done right, your wedding will be amazing and we are EXPERTS at it.
- David NazarioOwner/ DJ Extraordinaire“My love of music stems from the way it makes people feel.” - For owner and DJ David Nazario, music has always been a driving force in life; that’s why he took his passion and expertise in DJing to the next level, by starting a business he knew would bring happiness to others. According to David, “It’s all about the smiles. If the guests are smiling we know they are enjoying themselves and memories are being created.” It’s this drive to create something bigger than “just wedding music” that prompted him to shift the approach of his business, something most DJ companies were missing. A Perfect Blend Entertainment was born with the idea that a wedding is more than just the music, an idea that he found more couples were embracing, too. By mixing great music and allowing the wedding to organically progress, guests and couples appreciate the unobtrusive nature of the DJ – without unnecessary interjections on the mic, everyone can live in the moment of the celebration.
- NickDJ / MC“Silence is odd to me. I always need music as a soundtrack to my life.” - Always the entertainer, Nick has moved from dancing on his grandma’s table, singing Michael Jackson to crafting the perfect wedding celebrations so everyone, young and old, has an incredible time. As a guitar player and enthusiast, Nick understands music at a personal level and is driven by his passion for music. For Nick, it’s not just about creating the perfect wedding, it’s about creating an atmosphere that naturally feels like a celebration.
- JamesDJ/ MC“Music is what emotion sounds like.” - From teenage disk jockey assistant to professional DJ, James’ fun-filled yet elegant events are filled with crowd-pleasing, feel-good vibes. Aside from thriving off of creating memorable events, highlights of his music career include his first music single release on iTunes and his first wedding DJ gig where he realized what a fulfilling career this would be. As a dedicated music professional who always aims to please, using the combination of music and his vibrant personality, James creates a vibrant, memorable experience for all.
- MarioDJ / MC“For me, music is all about celebrating life.” - With a strong foundation in the classics rooted from his childhood mixtapes, Mario knows how to create an ambiance that can cut through all the noise and make a massive group of people groove together for hours despite how crazy life can be. What keeps him going? Every time he sees everyone from a four-year-old girl to an 86-year-old man dancing at the same time, it’s a career highlight. By understanding how songs tell stories, Mario knows how to mix all your favorites in just the right way.
- BrianDJ / MCBrian has spent many years around music and eventually found his way into wedding DJing, where he feels most at home. He has a solid understanding of a wide range of genres and enjoys figuring out what works best for each crowd. His goal is simple: keep the dance floor moving and make sure everyone has a great time—and he has a few tricks for doing that he tends to keep to himself.
- MatthewDJ / MCMatthew grew up surrounded by music and quickly became the friend everyone trusted with the aux cord. With influences ranging from throwback classics to today’s hits, he brings an old-soul appreciation for timeless music while keeping a modern edge on the dance floor. His goal at every wedding is simple: create a night people never want to end. Matthew has a natural feel for reading a room and blending genres in a way that keeps every generation dancing together.

- JasonDJ / MCWhat started as mixing tracks in my bedroom quickly turned into my passion. I’ve been in love with music for as long as I can remember. Whether it was listening to it, playing it, or even creating it, I always knew this was where I belonged. Shout-out to my parents for raising me to appreciate a diverse range of music and genres! Although I love all types of music, I pride myself on my ability to read the crowd, keep the energy high, and make every event unique. For me, it’s not just about playing music, it’s about creating an unforgettable experience.
- IvanDJ / MCIvan has been part of the music industry for over a decade and brings a deep, intuitive understanding of how music shapes the feeling of a wedding day. His ultimate goal is simple: creating the right musical vibe at every moment, from the first note to the final song of the night. With a broad knowledge of music across genres and generations, Ivan focuses on reading the room and guiding the energy naturally—so the dance floor stays full without ever feeling forced. Simply put, he loves watching people dance, and his couples often find that sore feet at the end of the night are a very good sign.
- JesseDJ / MCWith an understanding that a successful event requires detailed prep, flawless mic execution, and a masterly mixed selection of music, Jesse is the total package when it comes to a wedding DJ. Growing up with a father who DJ’d Jesse fell in love with music at an early age, but it wasn’t until his success as an Editor and Producer in the television industry that he realized his true passion, creating memorable moments. The kind that truly leave an impact and take your breath away.

He kept the energy going, made sure everyone was having a great time, and helped make our wedding everything we hoped it would be.
Everyone raved about Jesse throughout the night, and even after the wedding, we had several friends tell us they wished they had booked him for their own weddings! That really says it all.
Beyond being an amazing DJ, Jesse was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will make their celebration unforgettable!

ity that we clicked with him right away, and trusted him to the fullest with the music. We had David do the music at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We were two brides, so we had different music for our bridal parties and then for each of us walking, and my wife wanted to do choreographed dance with her dad at the reception. David delivered at every turn. He stitched together the music perfectly--truly a perfect blend! David kept the night running smoothly--and most importantly for us, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the music was and how much they danced. We had a few people say this was the first wedding they went to where they had to change their shoes because they were up on the floor so much. It really was a 10/10 night.

We appreciated the contacts and follow ups by Brian as well as Marie and David in the office to keep us informed, on track and answer any questions we had. APB's website was user friendly, creating a separate account for us to input requests and organize the whole day beginning with the ceremony to the last dance!
We also chose to have the Photo Booth by APB which was great to have, adding lots of fun, laughs and an album for us to enjoy the special memories... and all within our budget!
Thanks to all of you for all you do! The Strobel Family

David did a great job keeping the energy up throughout our reception and definitely kept our guests on the dance floor all night. Everyone had a great time, and he even let me get ...
behind the DJ booth for a few minutes, which was such a fun and memorable moment!
There were a couple of things that I was disappointed with, though. I had shared my wedding Spotify playlist ahead of time, hoping many of those songs would be incorporated into the reception, but only about five of them were played. I was looking forward to hearing more of the music we had specifically chosen.
Overall, David helped create a fun atmosphere for our reception, but I think there were a few details that could have been executed more smoothly.

David i...
s a master of his craft. From the outset, what my husband and I knew was that above everything, we wanted our wedding to be a joyous celebration with everyone we love.
Words don’t do justice to the extent that David not only understood this, but delivered an unforgettable, priceless experience. The care he took to get a feel for our music tastes was incredible. By doing so, he helped us create moments and memories that were above and beyond anything we were expecting. He seamlessly blended and found the perfect places for our favorite songs, which meant so much to us and I cannot thank him enough for.
His online portal is my favorite thing ever! It was so easy to use, and really made the whole experience organized and exact where it needed to be, while simultaneously making the dance floor an absolute blast.
We had so much fun!!!! And every one of our guests had so much fun!!!!!! I have had guest after guest, both young and old, tell me that it was the best and happiest wedding they have ever been to, and specifically that the DJ (David) was phenomenal. Even people who didn’t dance!
If you are thinking about APB Entertainment, choose them. I would choose them again, and again if I could to relive my wedding day.
David, truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You told us you would create moments we would never forget, and you did just that. Thank you for helping us to have an absolute blast that was full of love, celebrating our marriage. The moments my husband and I shared together, are moments we will never forget

The ceremony music was perfectly timed, creating such a beautiful and emotional atmosphere. During the reception, Jesse did an incredible job keeping the energy up all night. He is extremely knowledgeable about music and was able to seamlessly incorporate Georgian songs into our playlist, which meant so much to us and our families.
The dance floor was packed all evening! Jesse knew exactly how to read the crowd, create the perfect vibe, and keep guests of all ages dancing and having an amazing time. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the music.
If you’re looking for a professional, organized, and talented DJ who truly cares about making your wedding unforgettable, we highly recommend Perfect Blend Entertainment and DJ Jesse. Thank you for making our wedding at Senate Garage so much fun!

In fact, multiple people told us the next day that they were actually sore from dancing the night away! If you want a DJ who genuinely cares about making your night personal, seamless, and incredibly fun, book DJ Dave immediately!

The vibes were immaculate and after our wedding, our friends and family could not stop talking about how much they loved our DJ. Dave, we will definitely be booking you in the future for our vow renewal. You are the best! Thanks for making our wedding the most memorable day ever :)

Our guests couldn’t believe how much fun they had dancing the night away!
We also had a photobooth, which was a huge hit — our guests loved taking photos, and the prints made such fun keepsakes at the end of the night.
It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and we cannot recommend A Perfect Blend Entertainment enough to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

So many of our guests have told me, even a week after our wedding, how that was the best wedding they’ve been to and that it was the best music they’ve heard at a wedding. Dave was absolutely wonderful at balancing the music selection to fit our wide range of guests, and I couldn’t recommend APBE enough!

My now husband and I are very specific when it comes to music. We really took our time researching a DJ and fell upon APB in one of our many queries. The big thing that stuck out a...
bout them was they listed previous playlists they used in other weddings. This made a huge difference because we could see if they were the type of DJ who did what they wanted or did what we would ask.
Our first call with Dave went exactly how we could have hoped. He listened to all our of our requests and specifics and dove deeper into not just if we wanted something played or not played, but the actual why. APB has an online portal which breaks everything down from the 1st song played through the last.
Our last meeting with Dave was equally as productive as it gave us insight into what else was needed to make our wedding playlist the best it could be ...Dave nailed it. My husband (who rarely dances) and I were on the dance floor all night, along with most of our guests. Dave really listened to everything we needed and wanted out of our wedding DJ. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire Dave and his team.

We hired A Perfect Blend & specifically requested Nick as our DJ after hearing about how amazing he is from other online reviews, we loved how his IG bio said “non-cheesy DJ” becau...
se that’s exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the entire process, APB was organized, prompt, and lovely to communicate with. They were able to take all our song requests & I absolutely remember hearing many (if not all) of them at our wedding, even the unique & funky requests!
Our wedding was supposed to have a reception outdoors under a tent, but the weather was so horrific that weekend that the floor of the tent became a mud pile. I desperately asked Nick if he would be able to move his set up to inside the building (up a little hill) and without hesitation, he said yes. At the risk of sounding too dramatic, this saved our wedding. Our guests were so cold & there was no where to dance, it was awful, so Nick took the time to move up, he was so so kind & understanding. He also stayed an hour later at the end of the night after we asked if we could hire him for another hour! He was actually just that good!
My friends & family have mentioned over & over how awesome our DJ was, and he really was THE best.
I cannot recommend APB & Nick specifically enough!

He kept the energy up but knew the exact right moments to slow things down and match the vibes of the evening. We also had a photo booth setup from APB and everyone had so much fun grabbing pictures, and they even surprised us with a little photo scrapbook at the end of the night that had a bunch of print-outs and messages from our guests. Also a bonus that Nick's DJ setup was super clean and sharp looking - really modern and looked like a natural fit in the venue.

David Nazario and A Perfect Blend Entertainment are, without a doubt, the GREATEST DJs I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing -- and I feel so lucky that Dave DJed my wedding! ...
It was important to me and my wife that our wedding was a celebration of our love and a hell of a party that kept everyone on the dance floor -- our reception was all this and way, way more! I’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was literally packed for every music set! David continued to go above and beyond throughout the entire night, making it an unforgettable experience -- not just for me and my wife, but for everyone attendee! I can’t say enough incredible things about them!!! If I had my way, Dave would DJ every party I have for the rest of my life.
Thank you Dave for an unforgettable experience!

He was able to throw in all our favorite songs and requests and make it truly “a perfect blend.” Not only did he lay out our tracks so brilliantly, but he also was so kind and truly catered to our every need. He constantly found ways to check in with us and make sure everything was going according to plan. Nick asked us such thoughtful questions during the planning process and anticipated so many things we wanted without us realizing it. We wanted to have a surprise first dance fake out, and Nick was totally game from day one, and executed it FLAWLESSLY, down to acting like he was scrambling over the decks. Beyond his skill as a DJ, he was just truly such a lovely, kind, fun person to spend our day with. Thank you Nick - we hope you had as much fun as we did!

So many people came up to us during the event and after to compliment his DJing and to say how much fun they had. And the photobooth was a huge hit as well! We would easily recommend Dave and APB for any event!

DJ Mario from A Perfect Blend was amazing! We had an incredible time with our guests and received so many compliments about the DJ and the dance floor being lively all night long. ...
We knew we wanted latin music and Indian music playing throughout our night, and Mario completely understood our vibe and made our night one to remember! We are so grateful to Mario and we highly recommend him and A Perfect Blend for any couples looking for a DJ to dance the night away on their wedding night! Thank you!

Our experience with APB was excellent, our wedding was culturally mixed and APB was able to connect us with an excellent DJ (DJ Alan) that knew the ins-and-outs of jewish weddings ...
while also MCing in Spanish and comfortably able to blend latin music and conventional 80s bangers. We also worked with live musicians (Sax & Percussion) that added a TON to the vibe. If you want your wedding reception to be a great party I cannot recommend APB enough. The lighting, photobooths, mic support and professionalism were all top tier. Couldn’t ask for more! 5/5.

We hired A Perfect Blend (APB) for our wedding in October 2024 and we are so grateful we did! Firstly I spoke with Nick to get more information and I could not be more appreciative...
of the honest advice he gave me. I told him a bit about my husband and I (we’re in our 30s and were not interested in spending a ridiculous amount of money on silly extras) so I asked him about one of the extra options they had and he honestly told me he didn’t think it was necessary and explained why. I ended up going with the uplighting and was very happy with it. I also appreciated that they had one person, who would be the DJ and the MC, while a lot of companies insisted you needed both. James was our DJ and he did an incredible job. We chatted with him before the wedding and he just understood our vibes and we felt like he asked the right questions. We appreciated that he was so in tune with us. APB was more than fairly priced and we felt that it was worth every penny. Everyone, including grandma, got up and danced all night. Cocktail hour music was perfect based on what we discussed. I was so happy. I would recommend APB for all and any entertainment needs!

From our first interaction with APB to our DJ consultation with Nick R, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding. At a bridal expo, we were immediately drawn to APB's sleek a...
nd modern DJ booth, knowing we didn't want anything clunky to disrupt the aesthetic of our special day. Nick's down-to-earth nature and expert guidance during our consultation solidified our decision to book them for our wedding.
The communication with their office was seamless, and we ultimately booked Nick for the entire day, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception music, and a photobooth, all at a perfect price. Their user-friendly website made song uploading a breeze, and multiple detailed meetings ensured that every aspect of our music preferences was accounted for.
We trusted Nick to read the room and play music that matched the vibe of our wedding day, and it was the best decision we made. The dancefloor was packed all night long, with even the most unlikely guests getting in on the fun. The music never overpowered the atmosphere, and Nick kept the energy flowing effortlessly throughout the evening.
The photobooth was a hit as well, with a dedicated attendant helping guests create memorable keepsakes for us to cherish in the days following the wedding. APB's professionalism, organization, and genuine desire for us to have a fantastic celebration truly stood out. We wholeheartedly recommend Nick and APB for any couple looking to create unforgettable memories at their wedding.
Our guests were so impressed that they even asked for APB's information to book for their own future weddings. If you want an amazing party and memories to last a lifetime, hire APB and thank us later!

We have not stopped getting rave reviews about our DJ Nick since our wedding! From the first call with Nick, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He was very laid back i...
n the sense that DJs should not be the center of attention on your wedding day, but was there making sure everyone was on the dance floor and ensuring things ran smoothly. He was so helpful when planning our music. APB has such an easy to use online platform to complete your forms and coordinate music for your reception. We had over an hour phone call with Nick going through music from different decades to find what we liked (and more importantly, did not like). During the meeting, he was giving us examples of different mixes of songs we wanted to hear that may not have been dancing music. He gave us great advice on when to transition our wedding song and special dances with family. We left the final meeting with Nick so confident in our decision about having Nick be our wedding DJ. On the day of the wedding, Nick set up the sound system for the ceremony and cocktail hour. For the reception, Nick was there to reassure us of our plans/timeline to make sure everything was running smoothly. He helped coordinate with our caterer the buffet line and kept it moving in a timely fashion. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Cannot recommend Nick and A Perfect Blend more!!!

We booked our DJ, MC, and photo booth with APB for the whole day - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Dave and his team were a pleasure to work with from the planning process ...
to the day of. They walk you through it like a show production (as it should be) and their planning tool is straightforward and flexible. We appreciated that we spoke with our DJ, Dave, directly - no guessing on who would be there the day of. He got to know our vibe and music tastes from meeting with us a few times and was very accommodating when we asked for one last meeting a few days before our wedding.
We told them we wanted to throw a party and they delivered 110%. Our biggest request was for line dancing - my family is Filipino, so September and Todo Todo were must-haves. We coordinated our money dance and a photo run with them too. Albin was a great MC and kept our party going all night. Funny enough, we were at a wedding one week before ours, and to our surprise, they were that couple’s DJ too! We had the best time as guests and it got us pumped for ours.

We have nothing but praise for APB and would highly recommend working with them for your special day. Marie was super helpful and responsive when any questions came up during the p...
lanning process. She checked in consistently in the weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure that we were on track with our planning. Our DJ Mario was incredible! We got so many compliments from our friends and family, and he kept people on the dance floor all night long! We had a pre-wedding planning meeting where we talked about our vision, and it was clear that Mario really listened to our desires and made that vision come to life. He honored our 'do not play' lists and our 'must play' lists, and it was evident that he prepared for our event. I have been to weddings where the DJ plays songs that the bride requested not to play, but this did not happen with Mario due to his obvious care and preparation. He made the night go smoothly and ensured that my husband and I did not have to stress about logistics. I would highly recommend working with APB and Mario!

We had a wonderful experience with A Perfect Blend Entertainment! We had Mace as our DJ and he was excellent! We had a great call with him about a month before the wedding where he...
reviewed the playlists and song choices with us. The day of the wedding he made sure to communicate with us to make sure everything was going well throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He did a great job playing music that everyone liked and definitely kept the dance floor going all night! He did a wonderful job “reading the room” and figuring out what music people were responding to best and as two people who are not dancers, he even got us out on the dance floor. He was amazing!
We also used A Perfect Blend Entertainment for our photobooth and the attendant was wonderful. She was very friendly and welcoming and the photobooth was definitely a hit for everyone at the wedding.

We loved working with A Perfect Blend and DJ Mario! The online planner was so easy to use and manage everything, and it was great to get regular check-in emails to help keep us on ...
track. DJ Mario had such great energy and absolutely delivered on his promise to make the celebration an event to remember. One of my main goals for the wedding was for our guests to be dancing all night, and I think the only time the dancefloor was empty was during dinner. Our guests also loved the photo booth and we were so happy with the scrap book we got of all our guests' photo strips! Truly had an amazing experience working with all the folks at A Perfect Blend and we couldn't be happier to recommend them to anyone looking for GREAT entertainment!!
