Santiago was an absolute gem in helping us get ready for our wedding. He helped out a lot with his officiating expertise and kept the beats going all reception long. Absolute pleas...
ure to work with, very personable.
Santiago was friendly and well prepared. He had three online planning sessions detailing the activities and set the expectations. After we met, he emailed us the pdf version of our...
meeting. He was timely and responsive to questions via email and phone. Santiago was willing to meet and clarify anything needed.
He was also our officiant which was great. Santiago worked with us on the verbiage we wanted the day of and helped us with the day of details. During rehearsal there was a mix up with our music we selected but he corrected and updated this the day of.
The only thing we could have planned better was communicating with him our table plan to release tables for dinner. There was a bit of confusion there.
Santiago had a crew of four who helped with the ceremony and reception. They assisted with the day of activities from ceremony music to reception music.
James made sure to spend some time with us to not only figure out what kind of music we would like played at our reception, but also to get to know us as a couple and as individual...
s. He meet with us around 2-3 times sometimes together and sometimes individually to ask us questions. I remember at one point talking to James about my then fiancee (now husband) and reading parts about some of the letters he had written to me. On my wedding day, I was surprised to hear our wedding song had been integrated with our separate interviews! It was beautiful, and I still have a copy of it to this day. The letter was carefully integrated, starting with my voice and finishing with my husbands. The time and effort he puts into his work is invaluable because he cares about the his clients as people. I would highly recommend his services.
This DJ went above and beyond what we expected (and paid for). He called us well in advance of our wedding date to discuss logistics, contacted our venue and other members of the ...
wedding party to coordinate our ceremony and reception schedule, and responded immediately to each and every email we sent. Essentially, he acted as both a DJ and wedding planner. My husband and I had to plan our wedding remotely, and Santiago traveled to our venue on his own time to map out where our ceremony, tables, and dance area should be set up. It was extremely generous. We highly recommend!
Wow! Santiago and his crew did such and incredible job! He handled our day with care and thoughtfulness -- coming up with ideas to make it our own special day! The parents and brid...
al party introductions felt personalized and unique! Santiago helped in any aspect needed for the rehearsal and day of! Between rounding up our rowdy crew, helping with our flower girls - some things non-DJ related - and keeping a wonderful flow for the whole evening with music and transitions! I have nothing but fantastic words for Santiago and his staff, personalized service at an amazing value! You can tell his heart and soul is in making your big day special - just like ours! Worth every penny! Highly recommended!
Santiago Naranjo provided more than we could have expected. His service was professional and a wonderful experience. He catered to our requests and made our special day perfect.
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Santiago as we prepared for my son's wedding. It was the best thing that could have happened to our family as the entertainment he pr...
ovided was above and beyond what any parent could desire for their child's wedding. He took time to get to know them, personalized the celebration and kept everyone engaged. It was the best party ever. I again used his service for my younger son's graduation and again, he delivered more than I could ask for. He is the definition of the word professional! Thanks Santiago.
Not only did Santiago listen specifically to our desires, including some quirky music and sample sounds my (now) husband wanted throughout the ceremony and some relatively broad "d...
o not play" styles of music, but Wedding Celebrate really managed our larger outdoor wedding incredibly. There was never a dull moment even with a big crowd of all ages. His humor and music were just what we wanted: family friendly, engaging, and super fun!
James did my wedding a couple of years ago. Him and Daniel were so professional and friendly. We enjoyed our time spent with James planning the wedding. Not only did my husband and...
I love working with James, but my whole family loved him and the professional service that he brought! I would recommend him to anyone!
Working with Santiago was an amazing experience. Performance, expertise, talented, dedication to detail and professionalism are a few of the many skills that he and his team brough...
t to our special day! The entire day from ceremony cues to the very last guest to leave the dance floor was full of entertainment. We can't thank Santiago and the Wedding Celebrate team enough for making our day absolutely perfect! It will be a day that we never forget!! Thank you Santiago and Wedding Celebrate!!! We could not of had such a perfect day without you!
The DJ was extremely easy to work with. He was thorough in working with me to ensure what songs I wanted played (and not played). He also had met with me and my husband the week be...
fore the wedding with a prepared slide show of how the wedding party would be presented during the reception, along with a discussion of other logistics (e.g. speeches, cake cutting, father-daughter dance etc.). We even went to specifics such as the key of my wedding march song upon my request (I'm really into music). I felt comfortable on my wedding day, knowing what to expect. Additionally, he had provided special touches, which I really enjoyed: a rose for my husband to present to me (i.e. the bride), a vial of cake for the bride to give away (a lucky charm). I highly recommend this DJ.
Wedding Celebrate did all the planning to where everyone stood to what music would be played for each minute of the night. We had a DJ and a MC at hand plus one assistant to run th...
e evening. I got so many compliments on this not being just a regular DJ. We had so much fun and he was so professional in his work. Worth every penny I paid. I paid for him to come down from another city at the time and would pay to have to come down from another state now if I had to.
My family and I were impressed and pleased with the professionalism of the DJ Santiago and his staff. His perfectionist approach made our once of a lifetime experience one of a kin...
d and memorable that our guests still speak about our wedding :)
Provided wonderful, organized and fun service! We highly recommend Wedding Celebrate for your special day.
