Allison and crew absolutely killed it at our wedding!! Not only is she an amazing DJ, she was a great emcee and even helped customize the background music for our ceremony! She is so knowledgeable about music and totally understood our style! In fact, my now-husband was confused about whether some of the songs were requests or if Allison is just a mind-reader!
Thank you for being so cool and laid back! We loved having you guys to set the soundtrack for our special day and hope to cross paths again soon!!
Omg - We. LOVE. Heart of Gold! Specifically, DJ Sami Fink. We can NOT say enough amazing words about them. We booked them for our Santa Cruz wedding last November. From our first meeting, Sami felt like someone we had been friends with forever, and all three of us had similar musical upbringings and histories. Their knowledge of all genres of music, and overall enthusiasm for blending different styles was so appreciated by my wife and I. We also really valued the time Sami took getting to know us as people and a couple; and enjoyed getting to know them and their background as well. It made the wedding day feel so familiar and at ease, which was important to us since we were having an intimate, 50-person destination wedding with just family and close friends.
On our wedding day itself, Sami KILLED IT. We have been talking about the flawless job they did for months. now! They took all of the conversations we had during planning about likes/dislikes, our must play list, and combined that with their own knowledge and DJ style to make it the perfect night. Sami also made sure to check in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with everything, and tailored the song choices to the energy of the dance floor effortlessly. My wife and I were also looking for someone that didn't have too "over the top" of an MC style, and Sami also rode that line perfectly. They were so natural when speaking to the crowd - matching the vibe of us and our guests seamlessly. Some of the musical moments of the night are still being talked about by us and our guests. There couldn't have been a better fit for our wedding day than Dj Sami.
Additionally, my wife's best man performed a song at the reception - Sami was quick to offer their help when we let them know during the planning process that this was happening, and made sure the audio ran perfectly for that on the day as well!
Speaking on Heart of Gold as a company, working with Allison to find and book the best DJ for our wedding was such an easy breezy overall experience. Never felt pushed to make a decision that didn't fit us, and was genuinely kind, efficient and communicative the whole time. We knew we would be in great hands from the very beginning, and would book with them over and over again. Don't even hesitate, there's no one better!!! Thank you Heart of Gold & DJ Sami! :)
Working with Heart of Gold was such a great experience! Not only does the company have a great ethos, but working with Allison was a joy - the admin element was clear, organized, and professional and she helped us find the right DJ for our event.
We worked with DJ Ray for our wedding this past November and Ray was INCREDIBLE. They put together the perfect playlists for our mingle, the dinner, and the party. And WOW our guests didn't stop dancing the ENTIRE night! I am bias (since it was my wedding) BUT many of our guests say that they haven't ever had as much fun and that is because Ray had a great base playlist but adapted to the vibes and read the room to put the right songs on to keep the party going.
I would recommend Heart of Gold and DJ Ray any time! 10/10!
My husband and I hired Heart of Gold DJs for our wedding and we’re so glad we did! We were matched with Ray and she was a perfect fit for the music and vibes we wanted. I had a few calls with Ray to discuss expectations and go over details and she was so easy to chat with and was very organized. We had some fun planning a Rave Hour at the end of our wedding and she let me pick the music for that which I appreciated. I will miss chatting with Ray and I highly recommend using Heart of Gold DJs for your event!
We worked with Allison (the founder of Heart of Gold) as the DJ for our wedding and she was amazing! We were very prescriptive about our music choices (no Nsync, BSB, or other played-out wedding songs) and she did a wonderful job of honoring our musical preferences while including music that appealed to our guests and got them on the dance floor. We received so many compliments from our guests! Allison was extremely professional and reliable (very on top of deadlines) and also down to earth and fun. We can't recommend her highly enough!
We had the absolute best experience with Jordan from Heart of Gold DJs. From our first zoom call we knew she was the right fit for us. She instantly understood the vibe of music we were going for, was so fun and easy to talk to, and super organized and on top of all the details. There were zero technical issues day of and so many of our guests of all ages complimented the music. Every song Jordan played in addition to our must play list perfectly fit us and the vibe of the wedding. I wish I had a reason to have Jordan play personal dance parties for me all the time because it was just that good! She also did a fabulous job as MC and keeping things on schedule. And last but not least she helped one of my biggest wedding dreams come true! I wanted a packed dance floor filled with all of my guests doing Chappel Roan’s HOTTOGO and she delivered! She taught all my guests the dance and got the most guests on the dance floor we had all night for the song! Jordan and Heart of Gold were excellent to work with and we’d recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
We worked with DJ Ray through Heart of Gold and cannot say enough good things. DJ Ray was amazing! From the start, they understood our vision and matched our vibe perfectly. They kept the energy high and the dance floor groovin all night with a fantastic mix of songs that felt just like us.
Ray was professional and truly a joy to work with. They seamlessly blended our favorite tracks with their own recommendations and it just created the perfect vibe for our wedding day.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is such a pleasure to work with and makes both your friends and Aunts, Uncles, etc happy, DJ Ray is it.
Jordan with Heart of Gold DJs was phenomenal! We got so many compliments on the music in our wedding. She is so great at reading a room and keeping the party going. I was so nervous about choosing a DJ because I really hate going to weddings with DJs that talking or try to joke around and turn it into their show. Jordan was the opposite. She kept the music going and the party alive the entire night. She really listened to what we wanted and gave us the party we wanted.
Heart of Gold DJs was also super easy to work with- I cannot recommend strongly enough!
What a wonderful team of professionals! Hearts of Gold’s Sami was our booked DJ but she fell sick right before our wedding and so Jessika substituted. It was seamless and they literally never missed a beat (!) in providing a fun atmosphere, all the vibes we had asked for and most of all, a very kind and positive presence. It was lovely and we highly recommend this DJ company.
Jordan was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ! She nailed the music and we've had countess people tell us that it was the best wedding music they've ever experienced. Jordan had the dance floor packed until the very end of the night. She was so easy to communicate with and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she understood the vibe we were going for. We are still getting compliments on the music from guests! DJ Jordan is THE BEST and we'd recommend her to anyone.
We didn't really have many thoughts for our wedding reception beyond throw a big party, but we knew the DJ and the music would be essential. We wouldn't be able to do this without Eun Neam (DJ Neamatode, and I love the name) who was super chill and accessible when we talked about our vision, and asked us questions to help verbalize what we wanted.
I didn't even know cake cutting songs existed as a concept (songs to cut the cake to) but now I can't think of that moment without hearing our ridiculous song choice in the background.
I'm still waiting on the professional photos to be released, but rest assured there's a lot of photos and videos from my friends of them screaming along with our music on the dancefloor. We truly had such a good time.
I don’t even know where to begin in writing a review for DJ Sami because I can’t put into words how incredible they are! We were lucky to have Sami DJ at our wedding and they brought the most incredible energy to the room. We only met a couple times, but Sami nailed the vibe we wanted for our reception and brought it to life perfectly. We told them that our group was not big on dancing, but you’d never know because the dance floor was packed the entire night. Sami is exactly who you’d want around the day of your wedding — kind, relaxed, professional, but knows how to get a party started and keep it going. If you want to have the time of your life, we very highly recommend booking DJ Sami for your event!
Eun and the Heart of Gold DJs team delivered an exceptional performance at our wedding. The music was expertly curated and timed, delighting our guests and keeping the dance floor lively all night.
We deeply appreciate the thoughtful structure Eun provided for the key moments, as well as their receptiveness to our request for a more ethereal DJ experience. The result was a flawlessly executed ceremony and reception that exceeded our highest expectations.
If you're seeking a talented and keen DJ for your event, I cannot recommend Eun and Heart of Gold DJs highly enough.
Cheers!
We hired Heart of Gold, Dj Ray, for our August wedding & we are so happy that we did! Heart of Gold was always great at communicating with us & helping us find a Dj that matched our music interests. Allison was very professional, helpful and friendly throughout the hiring process.
We were matched with Dj Ray & we were not disappointed!! Dj knew all of the traditional music to play at our Mexican themed wedding!
Our guests had a blast dancing! Dj Ray is clearly very talented and passionate about at what she does. She is also very professional and reliable.
Highly recommend!
DJ Pauline and Heart of Gold made our wedding, for lack of a better word, EPIC. Through the planning process they were communicative and generous with their time. Good music was a huge priority to us, and as our wedding was Studio 54 themed, we wanted to strike the tricky balance of on theme, but not too on theme. Pauline just GOT it, from the first meeting together we knew it was the perfect choice. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and it felt like she was reading our minds for what we wanted to hear next. She wasn't afraid to stray away from basic, and catered (after about an hour of more family friendly tunes) mostly to us, which was perfect!! Can't recommend this company enough, especially DJ Pauline!!
We worked with Jordan for our wedding and it was the easiest process ever to have perfect playlists throughout the wedding. Heart of Gold and Jordan were so organized and thorough, asking all the right questions we weren't thinking of ourselves, and making the process super smooth. All of our friends and family were complimenting the music for days after and we had a blast.
Hire Heart of Gold DJs ASAP!
We have been to 3 weddings that hired Heart of Gold (HOG) DJs and each time the dance floor was popping! We were not only looking for sometime to throw an amazing dance party but for someone with run of show experience and Allison, our DJ and founder of HOG ensured the seamless operation of all the sound-related elements throughout our entire wedding. We heard compliments of our DJs professionalism and song selection from a number of attendees. Allison’s communication, coordination, and planning efforts were key in reducing the stress and effort of the overall wedding planning process. We did not have to worry about any potential sound-related issues during the ceremony, speeches, or dancing portion of the evening. Additionally, my husband is a DJ himself so he has a high standard for the expertise of his fellow DJs and he wanted to play his own short set during our dance party. Allison was gracious enough to collaborate with him in order to make that happen. She is upbeat, easy going, and her experience and confidence at our specific venue was helpful. We highly recommend Heart of Gold for any special events you throw!
We hired Sami Fink for our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely amazing. Definitely one of our favorite vendors we hired for the day. They were so sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable. They helped with transitions and killed it on the dance floor. All of our guests were raving about how fun the party was and how seamless the day went. Sami just knew what to do and didn't have to ask any questions! 100% would hire Sami again, what a fun special day! You cannot go wrong with Sami and heart of gold! So glad we found them.
Everything was so smooth because of Sami and I will be forever grateful!
If you're looking for a DJ who knows their music, from punk to funk and everything in between, look no further. DJ Sami Fink curated the perfect music for our wedding day that seamlessly blended both of our music interests. We had two phone meetings leading up to the wedding to discuss expectations, goals, and timeline. We were asked to create a few sample playlists to give them a better idea of our musical tastes, including a list of 15 Must Play songs (very helpful!). Sami was open-minded, listened to our wants and needs, and offered expert advice.
On the big day, we finally met and were so impressed with Sami throughout the day. They were punctual, professional, FUN, and easy to work with. We had some delays, and Sami kept us on track to optimize our dancing time, which was very important to us. Sami also communicated well with our other vendors and event coordinator.
10/10 would highly recommend DJ Sami for any event needing a spectacular musical backdrop. Over and over again, we'd choose Sami and cannot thank them enough for making our day pure magic!!!

We used Heart of Gold DJs for our wedding, and our experience was amazing from start to finish. Heart of Gold was SO responsive and organized, and we never worried that things would fall through the cracks. DJ Jordan was particularly amazing on our wedding night!!! Everyone was on the dance floor all night having the absolute best time and singing the DJ's praises. Thank you Jordan and Heart of Gold for making our celebration sooo special!
Can I give DJ Christie 100 stars?! She was hands down the best DJ I've ever seen, and my wife and I are SO glad she was able to DJ our wedding. The number 1 thing we've been hearing from all of our guests was that it was the best music/DJ set they've ever seen at a wedding before, which was so important to us when we were choosing a DJ for our wedding.
From the very first conversation we had with her, we instantly loved her vibe. She made sure to reiterate several times to us "it's YOUR wedding day, don't do anything you don't want to do." She made sure to remind us that we don't need to do anything just because it's "typical" for weddings, which helped us think outside the box a bit more and be a bit more creative.
She also let us be as hands on with the music selection as we wanted. Throughout our conversations, she listened to what we wanted and what was important to us, provided inputs and suggestions, but never pressured us into anything. We even had some particular requests when it came to song choices and where we wanted to cut certain parts of the song, where we wanted to loop a song, and she handled all of that so seamlessly.
To anyone getting married or considering Christie for your event, please do yourself a favor and book her - you won't regret it! She'll make sure your guests are out on the dance floor the whole night - tailoring the music as she goes to fit the mood and keep people having a good time. Plus, she's so kind and lovely to work with!
Thank you, thank you, Christie!! You're the best!
Allison is an incredible wedding DJ! She is super fun, friendly, organized, and professional. From the website to the intro calls, working with her and Heart of Gold was nice and seamless. As we worked with her during planning, Allison embodied a great mix of sharing her expertise and listening to figure out exactly how to bring our dance floor dreams to life. On the night of the wedding itself, we couldn’t have been happier. She played a perfect progression of songs that always fit the mood as the night went on. Anytime we stepped away for even a second, the next song would come on and we would have to come running back. Our friends and family both raved about how much fun they had; we felt like every song was our favorite song ever. Hire Allison and Heart of Gold for your wedding, you won’t regret it!
DJ Pauline was phenomenal to work with for our wedding in San Francisco, right from our initial video call—she's not only has the best taste / ear for music but is also just genuinely cool! Understanding that music preferences are incredibly personal, she embraced our diverse tastes and transformed our music selection into a chance for us to personalize our event. Even with a challenging setup where our wedding activities shifted between two floors throughout the evening, she managed everything flawlessly. DJ Pauline is the best!
Jessika was our DJ for our March 2024 wedding in Oakland. Heart of Gold was a pleasure to work with from the start. We came across them on a recommended vendor list from our venue. Allison was immediately responsive and asked us what we were looking for in a DJ before connecting us with DJ Jessika for an initial call. We felt comfortable with Jessika right away and she understood our vibe. As we talked to Jessika we learned that she is involved in music in many ways and is clearly passionate about what she does. She had us fill out a questionnaire with a detailed timeline so she was well prepared on the day of the wedding. We told her it was especially important to us that our friends and family of all ages enjoyed dancing at our wedding, and I think she nailed the assignment! Thank you, DJ Jessika!
DJ Sami was warm and easy to work with. They (along with DJ Eun, who assisted) really understood the music we loved and played a mix that got our guests on the dance floor with zero gimmicks or schlock. We got tons of compliments on the tunes from everyone—including the bartender, who has seen a wedding or two.
We hired Eun Neam at Heart of Gold DJs for our winter wedding and we cannot recommend them highly enough!! We had many different genres that we wanted featured during the parts of our day (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception) and Eun Neam helped curate the perfect song lists for each. Eun Neam was flexible (especially with my long do-not-play list), super fun to work with, and very professional. Eun Neam was particularly great at reading the room and adjusting to the vibe. We got tons of compliments from our guests - everyone could see that they are passionate about doing this and incredibly skilled. During the reception, Eun Neam's moves behind the DJ table helped keep our dance floor popping the whole night, and their song discretion was absolutely on point. It was banger after banger, and you could not have peeled me away from that dance floor!! After the wedding, Eun Neam sent us the playlists on Spotify so that my spouse and I can keep listening to them, which was really above and beyond. Thank you for making our special day absolutely unforgettable!!
We were fortunate to be guests at a friend's wedding featuring Heart of Gold DJs, and were really impressed with the experience. When it was our turn, we immediately asked for their DJ info. In planning our wedding we really wanted to create the unique and immersive feel of an intimate dinner party on a wedding sized scale, and DJ Jordan and the team at Heart of Gold absolutely made it a reality! From our first conversations we knew that Jordan understood, and cared about creating that environment for our guests. Pulling it all together was fun, professional and stress free. The big day was better than we could have ever hoped, as the music evolved carrying everyone through a beautiful, emotional, and exciting evening. Friends and family are still raving about the experience, and we can't thank Jordan and Heart of Gold enough for being a part of it!
We loved working with Jordan! She was very professional and asked specific questions about our music taste that would appeal to all audiences at our wedding. She honored our requests, took inspiration from our Spotify playlists, and had everyone on the dance floor. Honestly, my husband and I have been to a couple of weddings since, and we thought Jordan’s DJing was by far the best. I can’t recommend Heart of Gold DJs enough - thank you Jordan!
We worked with Jessika (DJ Jezzy Rae) for our wedding and she was phenomenal! She met with us several times before the event to iron out all the event details as well as the playlist. The event went super smoothly and all our guests had a blast dancing the night away. P.S. She has AMAZING dance floor lights available to rent, highly recommend them :)
We're so glad we reached out to HoG DJs for our wedding at OVY Camp! DJ Jessika knew OVY very well and it showed through her ease in setting up and transitions throughout the day, well prepared for each location change, which we know is not an easy thing to do in a more rustic venue. Our guests enjoyed and responded to the ambiance music we brainstormed with Jessika, and she kept people on the dance floor until the venue quiet hours! Thanks so much!!
Jessika was exactly what we were looking for in mixing our indie rock tastes with something that the whole family would enjoy and dance to. She helped make some song edits, went above and beyond in helping us through the planning process, and was a needed reassuring presence in the stressful leadup to the event. Definitely recommend.
Heart of gold
I had heard of Heart of Gold on Instagram and loved their vision. We were so happy we were matched with DJ Ray, they were easy to work with and had the whole entire wedding on the dance floor! Everyone loved the vibe and we were so happy we chose Heart of Gold!
DJ Jordan from Heart of Gold DJs was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We had multiple calls throughout the planning, and it was so helpful. Everything from welcome drinks, to ceremony, to speeches, and to the dance floor was covered. She asked questions to really make sure we had what we need, and listened our thoughts and concerns. We broke down the whole day as we wanted to have different genres playing for each part of the big day. The dance floor was definitely a highlight and it came from the mood that she set. Everyone had their favorite songs, and you know everyone had a great time when they tell you how much they danced and what songs they loved a few weeks later. I’m so glad that we found DJ Jordan and the Heart of Gold DJs! We couldn’t think of anyone better to have provide such a special ambience to our wedding. Thanks Jordan!
We had such a great experience with DJ Sami! They were the first DJ we met with that was excited about our taste in music. They took our song list and created such a fun atmosphere. The dance floor was packed all night. Sami was so easy to work with and set such a fun tone for the night. Everyone keeps telling us how great and fun our DJ was. Would hire them again. Thank you Sami!
We had a fantastic experience working with DJ Sami for our wedding in Berkeley! Music is a huge part of our relationship and having music we absolutely love at our wedding was important for us. Sami delivered on this in a major way! They met with us a couple times before the wedding and helped us figure out how to incorporate our favorite songs with music our guests would know and would keep people on the dancefloor. People really did stay on the dancefloor all night! Some of our favorite memories from our wedding are of hearing songs we love (some of which we didn't even request!) at the most perfect and unexpected moments. We could not recommend DJ Sami and Heart of Gold more!!!
We were looking for a solid dj that 'wasnt your average wedding DJ' and totally found one in Ray with Heart of Gold! Ray was a pleasure to work with designing our vision, and completely captured the vibe we were going for!
We worked with DJ Jordan, and she was incredible! Music and dancing were two of the most important elements of our wedding for us, and Jordan blew it out of the water!! The dance floor was a dream, and so many of our friends and family complimented the music throughout the entire night. Jordan was so communicative and easy to work with, she handled every detail with poise and expertise (both day of and all the months leading up to our wedding). Thank you, Jordan, and Heart of Gold DJs for making it so easy for us to just kick back and have a blast, knowing that we were in the best hands!
We worked with Eun Neam (DJ Neamatode) for our wedding and the music was outstanding, it truly made our wedding feel so magical! From the very beginning from our intro call, leading up to the wedding, and the wedding itself, we felt very energetically aligned + connected. She really brought our vision to life! We cannot recommend her and the team at Heart of Gold enough. Book them now!
Based on our style preferences, Heart of Gold recommended we work with DJ Christie for our wedding, and we are so happy they did! From the beginning, Heart of Gold and DJ Christie were incredibly professional. We had an initial call before we booked DJ Christie where she gave us a list of “homework” items to think about; we then had a follow-up call 6 weeks before the wedding to go over any final items. These were useful sessions as DJ Christie has so much experience doing weddings that she asked us questions we had not even thought about. She also responded quickly over email, as did Allison for any Heart of Gold admin items.
The day of the wedding DJ Christie was totally prepared and everything went off without a hiccup, including managing sound for the ceremony, the toasts + the cocktail music, and the dance (all in different locations with different set ups). We also had her do lighting for the dance, and did not regret that!
For the dancing, she did an excellent job taking our recommendations and making it into a non-stop dance party. We asked her to play a variety of music styles (oldies, R&B, indie, pop, techno) and she was familiar with all of them, including Latino/Brazilian music. One friend said we had the best DJ and dancing of all the weddings he’d been to this year!
We paid a little more than we had initially intended to, but felt like it was absolutely the right decision. Book Heart of Gold and DJ Christie - you won’t regret it.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Allison Peck at Heart of Gold DJs for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to make our day truly magical.
From the very beginning, Allison demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her passion for what she does is contagious, and it shows in her work.
The day of our wedding was nothing short of spectacular, thanks in large part to Allison and the Heart of Gold team.
One of the highlights of the day was an impromptu acapella performances and the touching song my father wrote for the dancing portion. The dance party was a blast, and her song choices were a hit.
We wholeheartedly recommend Allison Peck and Heart of Gold DJs to anyone planning a wedding or special event. Her talent, dedication, and kindness are unmatched. We feel truly honored to have had her as a part of our day and will cherish these memories forever.
Thank you, Allison and Heart of Gold DJs, for making our wedding a dream come true.
DJ Jessika was the best decision we made for our wedding! She mixed the best tunes and we were dancing all night long. She understood our vibe and vision from the very beginning and made it a reality.
We can’t say enough great things about working with Ray for our wedding. All our expectations were exceeded and communication was punctual and easy. I hope Ray is available when we refresh our vows because I wouldn’t want any other DJ. Thanks again for a great day, Ray!
As a company, Hear of Gold DJs was amazing to work with and did a great job for us. From the beginning, they totally got our vibe and we loved that it was an all-female DJ company. We originally worked with DJ Christie, who is awesome and a complete delight. She got our vision and vibe from the beginning, and we were so excited to work with her. Unfortunately, a few weeks before our wedding, Christie was injured and was unable to DJ our wedding. We were crushed, but DJ Allison immediately reached out to us and our wedding planner and said that she would handle everything. We had one meeting with Allison and immediately knew that everything would be wonderful. She had notes from Christie about our conversations and seamlessly took over. Allison was amazing to work with and didn’t miss a beat (pun intended!). We shared a playlist with her for inspiration and she ran with it, curating exactly the feeling we wanted. Everyone at our wedding raved about Allison. She played the best music during dinner and provided the perfect soundtrack for a fantastic dance party. Heart of Gold is a wonderful company, and we can’t recommend them enough.
I found Heart of Gold online from a wedding planner’s website (though not the one we worked with). I am so so lucky that I did. My fiancé and I had talked to 3-4 total DJs before deciding who to hire, and after talking with Jordan, it was a NO BRAINER. She listened to us with care, and immediately understood the vibe we were aiming for. I think we had two calls prior to the wedding, with no questions unanswered. Jordan was incredibly responsive to emails making sure to stay on the same page with any changes as they came up. Jordan provided all the music for the day—ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Throughout the event—especially during the reception, common comments from our guests, “who’s your DJ?”, “where did you find her?”, “I love the music!”, “I want her playlist!”. Part of what made our perfect day so amazing was the music. We cannot thank and recommend Jordan enough!
Jordan with Heart of Gold DJs was so so fabulous!! Many of our wedding guests told us they loved our DJ! In preparation for our wedding, Jordan helped us think through genres and specific songs, and she took our suggestions and "must-play" lists and incorporated them so beautifully throughout the night. Also as a queer couple with many transgender and gender-non conforming friends, Jordan was really exceptional making sure to use gender-neutral language in any announcements at the venue. From the business side, Heart of Gold was easy to work with, transparent about pricing and really clear and communicative. We highly recommend!! Very LGBTQ+ friendly vendor!!
DJ Allison, WOW!!! 100/10
From the very first call I knew we were going to be in good hands with Allison being the DJ for our wedding. She asked so many great questions and had great attention to detail. We created a wedding playlist for dinner and for our reception on Spotify and shared them with her and listed out our top songs that we really wanted to make sure were played and she really listened to what we wanted for our wedding day and she brought it. We wanted big energy and fun upbeat music all night long and she did an incredible job. Our dance floor was PACKED the whole night and Allison had our guests and us dancing truly all night long, it was perfect from start to finish. Our dance floor went crazy forLevels by Avicii and This Girl by Kungs with the big foam glow sticks and we could even see Allison was having so much fun herself behind the DJ booth! She couldn't have been a better fit for our wedding and our guests even talked about how epic the music was all night. Couldn't recommend Heart of Golds DJs enough and major shoutout to Allison!!!
Book for your wedding ASAP. You won't be disappointed!!!
Heart of Gold and DJ Jessika (a.k.a. DJ Jezzy Rae) did a fantastic job for our small botanical garden wedding! Jessika was thoughtful, responsive, attentive, and supportive throughout the planning process. We had a lot of music we really loved, and she was totally down to work from and be inspired by our Spotify playlists. She totally understood our taste and vibe, and wove together our favorite songs into a beautiful night of music and dancing. She also MC'd with the light, warm, and grounded touch we were hoping for. We'd definitely work with her again!
We loved DJ Jessika (aka DJ Jezzy Rae)! We cannot recommend her and Heart of Gold DJs enough! Jessika was super easy to talk to and totally understood what we wanted for the music at our wedding. She set the vibes perfectly for our cocktail hour and dinner. The schedule was running a little behind so we had less time for dancing than we hoped and Jessika did such an amazing job to still go through all of our must play songs and transitioned from crowd favorites to some of our favorite house music perfectly. She consistently kept the energy up and kept people dancing! We got so many compliments from our friends and family about how fun the music and dancing was. Thank you Jessika!!
Nothing but positive things to say about working with Allison and Heart of Gold. She was extremely helpful and communicative on everything from choosing our overall set of music to granular details about the sound setup at our venue. Allison helped us with the sound during our ceremony itself, making sure we could easily switch between a friend playing live guitar, us speaking into microphones, and playing pre-recorded tracks at various points. She also took care of the music during our cocktail hour, reception, and after-dinner dancing. It was a great mix of her taking our recommendations for the playlist while also letting her do her thing. Numerous guests of all different ages came up to us after the wedding and said our DJ found a way to play some songs they liked and get them out on the dance floor, including the bride's 93-year-old grandfather. We initially struggled to find a wedding DJ who felt like they understood our taste in music and wouldn't just be playing the same old stale wedding staples. Allison played a great mix of the indie stuff we and our friends like, while also mixing in classics that everyone could enjoy. Overall, she helped make the vibes top notch and feel authentic to us as a couple.
Jordan was INCREDIBLE. Not only was she so friendly and personable and organized during the planning process, she definitely understood the assignment. We wanted our wedding dance floor to feel like you’d been transported back to a high school homecoming circa 2003-2009 and boy did she deliver. Not only were our guests thrilled, people passing by the venue started dancing (we even had some wedding crashers join us). Plus Jordan pitched in with dinner service, there’s nothing she can’t do! If I could give her 10 stars, I would.
Our experience with Heart of Gold DJs was nothing short of phenomenal! From our first contact with Allison, to the amazingness of DJ Jordan, we were so pleased with them! DJ Jordan was a dream come true at our wedding - playing everything we wanted and more! We had all sorts of wild requests as the couple, had our own edited version of our first dance, and needed her to set up in 2 locations and she handled it like the amazing professional that she is. She was super communicative, organized, fun, kind, and exactly what we were looking for. I cannot recommend DJ Jordan or Heart of Gold DJs enough - A+++!!!
We were assigned Dj Jessika for our wedding. Couldn’t be more happier. She was great to work with perhaps even partner with. She was able to quickly understand our tastes in music and the over arching theme we were going for.
On a side note, we had a percussionist at our wedding as well, who was keen on jamming with the DJ, to improve the overall experience. Jessika took this request with open arms, and went above and beyond to partner with the musician on the day of.
You could tell she has done all this plenty of times, coz the day of wedding all the setup done (by herself primarily) was effortless.
Thanks a lot Jessika!!
DJ Jordan was AWESOME at our wedding- we would her 10 out of 5 stars if we could! We were psyched to find an all-women/non-binary, queer-friendly DJ crew through our photographer and got paired up with Jordan, who was completely perfect for us. She took plenty of time with us in the pre-wedding meetings, asked questions we hadn't even thought about, followed up with us and made it easy when we were juggling a million wedding prep things, and listened to everything we said.
When it came to the wedding day, she absolutely KILLED IT. We were actually her first wedding that she DJ'd solo, and you never would've known it. We got so much unsolicited amazing feedback from our guests about her, and they were shocked when we told them that it was her first solo wedding gig. She did the music and sound for the ceremony, music for cocktail hour and dinner, and of course DJ'd the reception dance floor. She was so chill, calm, and fun, and made sure everything was how we wanted it and ran smoothly. We could not have been happier with the playlists, announcements, and all of her work! The dance floor was never empty and included people of all ages/generations. It was seriously hard to find a time to take a break because there were no bad songs. We're so happy we chose to work with Jordan and Heart of Gold, and 1000% recommend them.
DJ Christie totally saved our wedding! She was only supposed to play our reception, and we hired Mariachi J Nuevo Mexico to play our ceremony, as well as the cocktail hour. But the mariachi band never showed up! >_< Christie swooped in to be the wind beneath our wedding wings!!! She played the songs we intended the mariachi band to play for our ceremony, and then played music during our cocktail hour too. She was also a great announcer! She kept the party going throughout the night, and let our guests know about all the fun things we had going on during the reception. I totally recommend her for any event! She was so sweet and upbeat! She made our wedding so much fun! Thank you Christie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We loved Allison! She kept the dance alive all night! Everyone had such a fun time, so many praises from our guests. Also very communicative in the lead up. Couldn’t recommend more!
Heart of Gold DJs, and specifically Whit the DJ, was absolutely fantastic for our wedding! Whit did an amazing job of working with us before the wedding to figure out what music we wanted for each part of the night: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We really appreciated her thorough, meticulous approach to her work, and how much time she spent getting to know us as a couple, and learning about what vibe we wanted on our wedding day. Also, a shared google doc made our collaboration extremely smooth. Whit and her assistant handled 3 different setups on our wedding day, and most importantly, the sound and music was perfect at every point! She really understood what our guests would like, and easily adapted based on who was dancing and how the crowd was responding. We were amazed that the dance floor was packed from the moment it opened until the venue kicked us out--and it was all thanks to Whit! We got many compliments on the music selections from our guests. We definitely recommend Whit from Heart of Gold DJs!
We booked DJ Maria from Heart of Gold DJs, and she was the best DJ we could have asked for. She was very thoughtful, intentional, and receptive with all of our discussions about what was important to us for our music, and she created the best atmosphere on the wedding day throughout the night. Maria was so much fun, and was also so kind, supportive, and lovely. Working with her was a delight, and working with Heart of Gold DJs as a company was so smooth and easy.
We were paired with Sami and they were absolutely incredible. Throughout the entire process they were communicative and SO helpful! On the build up to the wedding they curated a great playlist based on mine and my wife's VASTLY different music taste. On the day they went above and beyond to support us throughout the day. Ensuring the event moved smoothly and the vibes were always provided! Managing to keep a secret dance by our parents and family from us as a nice surprise and ensuring there was something for everyone to dance to all night! Keeping all of our guests entertained was no easy feat, but everyone was "singing" by the end of the evening. Hands down they made our wedding a PARTY and we have suggested them to everyone since! Hire heart of gold you will not be disappointed and if you're lucky enough to have Sami you're incredibly blessed!

WOW - DJ Sami was incredible at our wedding!!!! We’re so glad we went with Heart of Gold DJs - Sami could not have been a more fun, relaxed and competent vendor. We REALLY appreciated how much extensive wedding experience she has - she walked us through all the things we needed to provide her ahead of time which was SO helpful (we had no clue). She has great taste in music and did a perfect job playing all the songs we asked for and absolutely stuck to our musical artist/genre suggestions throughout. She even came out and danced with us at one point, which we loved! Some of our guests even wrote to us asking WHO WAS YOUR DJ?! so they could book Sami for their own upcoming events - the ultimate wedding DJ compliment in our book!! We adored having her, and could not recommend her and Heart of Gold more!!!
DJ Paz was a great fit for our wedding at the Waterfall Lodge! Straight from the first call they understood the type of music and atmosphere we wanted which focused on 90s and 2000s hip hop throwbacks. The final phone call was thorough to help finalize the schedule. They were communicative and were able to accommodate changes shortly before the wedding. They provided the sound equipment for the ceremony and were able to transfer the equipment swiftly to the reception area. During the reception, they were great on the mic and knowing when the cues were. The highlight though was the final dance party. SHEEESH everyone had fun. It was banger after banger! I would recommend Heart of Gold DJs and DJ Paz for any of your parties!
