What Bay Area Families Say About Us
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what parents of Bar and Bat Mitzvah guests across the Bay Area have shared about their experience with California Disc Jockey:
“Chris did an absolutely incredible job balancing the traditional Hora with clean modern edits of Travis Scott for the teens at our son’s Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emanu-El. Every guest — from our 80-year-old grandmother to the 13-year-olds — was on the dance floor the entire night.”
— Rachel & David K., San Francisco Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emanu-El
“We had California Disc Jockey for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at the JCC San Rafael. The Candle Lighting ceremony was perfectly choreographed, the Hora was electric, and the kids went absolutely wild. We’ve already recommended Chris to three other families in our congregation.”
— Jennifer & Mark S., Bat Mitzvah at JCC San Rafael, Marin County
“After our original DJ cancelled three weeks before our son’s Bar Mitzvah in San Jose, Chris stepped in immediately. He handled every detail — the traditional Hava Nagila, the Candle Lighting music, the whole event timeline. Flawless from cocktail hour to the very last song.”
— Lisa & Tom R., Emergency Booking, South Bay Bar Mitzvah
