We are so happy that we went with Second Song for our wedding! Rob was our DJ & MC, and he absolutely nailed it! He was so responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire process, and was so kind and understanding when we had to postpone due to the pandemic. The lights, photobooth, music...everything was spot on and all our guests were dancing the entire night having the best time. Second Song really helped make our wedding and reception a super memorable time for us and all our family and friends. Highly recommend!

We hired Second Song to DJ our wedding ceremony and reception and my wife and I could not have been happier with how it all turned out. Working with Robert for setup was a breeze and Marcus our reception DJ was the best! We had just a couple conversations with Marcus, gave him some reference songs/playlists and he killed it the rest of the night. Would recommend for anyone looking for a solid company to make your special occasions that much more special.

Amazing DJ- you will not regret booking! Rob was our DJ and he was fantastic. He was super easy to work with while planning our event and amazing on the night of. We got so many complements on the music as he really balanced the likes of our crowd and played songs to keep people on the dance floor. Would book again and highly recommend Rob! Thanks!

After an initially horrible experience with our first DJ company for our wedding, my wife and I were looking for a replacement DJ 6 weeks out. We landed on Second Song and are SO grateful that we did!From initially vetting them with others + going through the contracting process to meeting with our DJ (Andy -- who was great btw!), the process was so seamless and easy! They have a personalized portal that allows you to understand their process for DJing, as well as add information on specifics about your event. Andy + Rob were super communicative + responsive, we had some changes the week of our wedding and he had no problem adjusting his day-of plan.In looking back at our wedding, we were so happy to have chosen Second Song. They made the music perfect and were the easiest vendor to manage, allowing us to really enjoy the day. Thank you!

Our Second Song DJ Rob Goodmonson was a fantastic choice to DJ our wedding! After a couple of interviews, Rob narrowed down our style flawlessly and had everyone dancing the entire night. Great blend of old classics and newer hits, each flowing seamlessly into the next. Very personable and down to earth, with zero cheese factor you might expect from a DJ...Super easy to work with. All in all, my new wife and I highly recommend!

Could not recommend Rob and Second Song more!! We chose a package that included DJ/music for the cocktail hour/reception, live music (harpist) for the ceremony, plus lighting and photobooth, and everything was perfect! Rob was extremely responsive and professional in our communication before the wedding, and then brought so much energy and joy to our big day! He knew exactly what type of music to play during each part of our day to appeal to both the older and younger crowds and get the dance party going! From ceremony to cocktail hour to reception/dancing, we were thrilled with the way he organized the music for our wedding. Extra bonus that Rob and Second Song are so easy and fun to work with!

I loved how I was able to include Second Song as part of my special day that I will always remember and look back on. Rob was very responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly. We had to postpone/change our date multiple times & he was able to accommodate. We had DJ Ralph at our wedding and it was FUN! He was attentive and made our day 110x better. He played the music vibe that Jordan + I were going for and everyone enjoyed it on the dance floor. Thank you Second Song team for being part of THE BEST DAY! You guys will forever be a huge part of our lives that we will always look back to.

We had DJ Mike for our wedding and everything from the start to finish was very seamless. We got to talk to the DJ and work on selecting the type of music we wanted at our event. DJ Mike was very upbeat and was able to get a lot of people on the dance floor. All of the emailing went through Robert and we were able to get our questions answered super quickly, even when he was away on vacation. We had an amazing time at our wedding!

Rob and his team helped us have an awesome virtual wedding experience! He helped guide us through our music selections and emceed the event professionally. Now we have memories and recordings of our wedding that we will cherish. Highly recommended!

We had DJ Rob Goodmonson (not the company owner) and he absolutely goes above and beyond and is a hilarious person with the best sense of humor. Rob G really cares and is passionate about his work and making you feel special and goes through specific details so you are totally satisfied and more. He spent so much time chatting with us getting to know us ahead of time, it was so fun.He offered to help us with extra details like our disco ball setup and played one more song 4x because everyone wanted to keep dancing. Rob has a contagious genuine smile and laugh that spreads the best energy and adds to his professional and lighthearted MCing.Me and my husband ended up making pretty in depth playlists as a guide, and Rob really did a fabulous job of reading the energy of the crowd and mixing according to the mood.I always hoped my wedding would be one of those where people come up afterward and say that the DJ was amazing because I love to dance so much...and they did!! yay Rob G!!! So happy we were paired with you!!!Disco queeeennnnnn xoxoxo

Planning a wedding is super stressful and quite honestly overwhelming! So we were super thankful to work with Second Song/Feature Booth! Having a vendor that can provide multiple services and have one point of contact is AMAZING! Rob (owner), Rob G (DJ), Jessica and the rest of the team were super responsive, professional and so personable. They proved that they cared about making your day SPECIAL. We planned a last minute wedding and had sooo many questions about everything. They answered every question with care and professionalism and promptly! Test message, email, phone call... they answered it all and were super on top of it! I HIGHLY recommend them for all your music, MC, dj and photo booth needs!

I only have four words of advice for couples who are searching for a wedding DJ: Hire Second Song Immediately! As we planned the majority of our wedding during the pandemic, it was incredibly important to hire vendors that we could communicate with effectively. Rob is the picture of professionalism. He listened to everything we wanted and delivered on our vision and helped us build upon it. He suggested a silent disco for the end of the night and that was by far one of the most memorable parts of the evening! I dont think anyone left the dancefloor the entire night! We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful company help us create life long memories.

I personally am not a fan of photo booths because of the lame props and not so great quality. This photo booth surpassed all of my expectations and the guests absolutely loved this at our venue! Their complaint was that not all of them knew of the booth - I LOVE THE PICTURES. Happy Bride and Groom HIGHLY recommend Second Song!!!!

THERE IS NO BETTER DJ/MC GROUP OUT THERE! Second Song nails it every time. I used Marcus for my boyfriends birthday in my backyard, small intimate group and Marcus was incredible. Personable, funny, set the vibe without me giving ANY direction. Didnt flinch with my hyper puppy running around... 11 out of 10 stars.

Rob and DJ Andy are absolutely the best! I am so happy we were able to have Second Song for our big day. Rob is super easy to work with, always responses quickly, and keeps you on track for what is needed. Andy was awesome and knew exactly what we were looking for when we sent him over a playlist. They both were so flexible with all the new covid guidelines the venue had in place. Thank you for making our wedding so fun and stress free. Best decision hiring second song for our wedding.

We hired Second Song for our wedding and couldnt be happier! Our DJ, Mike, was the best. He had the perfect mix of songs we had pre-selected and songs that everyone wanted to dance to, and he knew exactly what to play at the right time. Because of the pandemic we had to keep our wedding small, but Mike was able to set up a Zoom livestream so that people could join in from home. We received so many compliments from our live and virtual attendees on Mike and the music he played - everyone was so impressed by him! If you work with Second Song, be sure to request Mike for your special day!

We used Second Song for our wedding Zoom Live Stream and for our DJing service. Rob was great in helping us book a package that worked for us and after doing a lot of research, it was the best deal we found as well. With COVID limiting our wedding number, it was important for us to have a live stream we could rely on for our family members and friends who could not attend.Jason was great in helping with that! Everyone who attended the live stream said that it went smoothly. They got 2 different views and the audio was great. We also got a recording of our ceremony after and even got to see the gallery view and see the comments with us. It meant so much to me that this went smoothly and with so many things that couldve potentially gone wrong, it went perfect (even for our older folks not familiar with technology)!!!Kara was the BEST DJ!! She made the dance floor so fun for our parents friends and for us. She knew what music to play and was great about being on top of what music to play at what time. She was great at communicating with us prior to the event, and we couldnt have asked for a more perfect DJ to get our grandparents and parents moving as well as our friends dancing and singing the night away.HIGHLY RECOMMEND SECOND SONGS SERVICES and if you can definitely book Kara and Jason. Theyre such a great combo and we loved the vibe that they brought with them.

Rob and Ralph were wonderful to work with! Ralph functioned as our DJ/MC and facilitated the live stream of our ceremony! He was amazing to work with both leading up to the event and on the day of. So collaborative, professional, and absolutely delivered our vision! Thank you for making it possible for our guests to watch us get married and giving us the ability to interact with them over the TV after the ceremony! It was so special!

Rob and his team at Second Song were amazing for us. Our wedding was unfortunately post poned due to covid and when we finally felt safe enough to have it, we had to shrink our wedding a lot. A lot of people that wanted to see the ceremony could not. Thats where Rob came in. They set up their equipment and everything quickly and professionally. Our family and friends were able to witness our wedding in great quality. We were so grateful to find this service. Thank you Rob and Second Song for letting our family witness our wedding. Couldnt be any more happy!

We used Second Song for our wedding in May 21’ and were so pleased with the music, MC’ing, photo booth and uplights. Our DJ was Ralph and he was amazing to work with! Logistically from start to finish, Rob (owner) and Ralph (DJ) were professional, responsive and accommodating especially during Covid. We had to postpone our wedding by 6 months and thankfully they had availability and willingly worked with us on the changes.We had a few virtual meetings with Ralph for introductions and getting a feel for one another and to finalize details as the day approached. We could tell he is a master at his craft and a bonus, a great MC.Ralph was very receptive to our requests for songs and wedding day asks. He was super thorough with questions prior to the wedding and everything was on point in terms of timing and song selections. We weren’t too picky with music and also wanted him to have space to show off his taste and experience in music and he didn’t disappoint. Definitely recommend. Money well spent and everyone had a blast dancing!

Second Song was exactly what we were hoping for at our wedding in April. Rob was very responsive following our initial inquiry, and DJ Mike was great to plan with and even better as the MC and DJ. He took our broad input for music styles for each segment of the wedding and turned out a playlist that nailed the vibe every step of the way. He was professional, friendly, and got the party going. Cant say enough good things about Second Song. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We used Second Song at our intimate wedding and our DJ/MC Kara was the best. We gave her playlists and gave her the freedom to mix it up with some of her own favorites as the night went on and she did a great job.Thanks Kara! You helped made it a great day to remember.

We hired Second Song for DJ/MC (Ralph) and photo booth (Aaron) services and we couldnt have made a better decision.Ralph is an incredible DJ and MC. He was on top of every timeline event, kept our guests involved, and was in sync with us (the couple) and our coordinator at every turn. On top of it all, set the tone and vibe perfectly throughout the day, even absorbing a couple of random music requests graciously.Aaron is the perfect photo booth attendant. He decorated our backdrop with some extra decor from our reception which was a cool touch! All of our guests loved having him, especially for calling out group photo poses and guiding them into the picture perfect moment.We highly recommend Second Song! Easy booking, flexible pay schedule, punctual communication... what more could you ask for? It was a fantastic experience.Robert took care of all of our details and was very understanding concerning last minute changes due to COVID-19. We will forever be grateful for that.Loretta & Marvin

When it came time to hiring a DJ/MC for our wedding, we were a bit hesitant because many of our friends recommendations were either all booked or not working anymore due to COVID. So it came down to looking for one on our own. We had this vision of a DJ/MC who is in a rock-band t-shirt, lugging around a turn table, having giant headphones around his/her neck. When we were introduced by Agnes at A fabulous Soiree and The Grassroom DTLA to Robert at Second Song, we were AMAZED at how professional and easy to work with these guys were. Quick and painless process, heres why you should think Second Song when looking for a DJ/MC:1. Professionalism. Robert was quick at answering our questions over email and offered us services with no fluff. Prices were reasonable. Not only did we just want DJ/MC services, they also offered packages which included virtual services since some of our international friends and family could not attend. Ralph was able to provide us quickly with a link to both Zoom and YouTube to allow our friends and family early access to make sure they can all view our ceremony without technical difficulty. NONE of my friends and family had in issue with connectivity during our wedding day.2. The DJ/MC. Kai was an out of this world DJ/MC. Like I mentioned before, we imagined our DJ to be wearing giant headphones, long shaggy hair, lugging around a turn table. Our first DJ/MC hiring experience was completely different in that Kai was in a suit, looking sharp, professional, and easy to work with. We had a moment to chat a little prior to the ceremony and since Second Song has had experience at our venue, the DJ/MC had no issues connecting to the audio equipment and had no hiccups during our night.3. Great preparation and presence. Prior to the event, our DJ/MC Kai called us to go over song choices, how the ceremony/reception would flow, offered suggestions on how to make the event go well, addressed our concerns, and coordinated with our other vendors such as our Officiant and our Wedding coordinator. During our ceremony and reception, the voice of Kai offered confidence and direction to make sure the night flowed smoothly, ending with top notch music!COVID NOTES: All precautions and safety measures followed. With Second Song, we did not have to worry!

In the midst of a pandemic, we continued to plan our wedding because given all that had happened, we wanted to still have something to celebrate, something to bring people together, as safely as we possibly could. And on top of that, as an LGBT couple, we were nervous about working with anyone and really, we could not have found more professional and respectful individuals with Second Song. I am so thrilled we were able to work with Second Song, Rob, and our deejay/emcee Andy for our big day. Rob was always available, and so accommodating to our needs and really was looking out for what was best for the wedding. Andy was incredibly professional, and despite being unable to have a dance floor at our wedding, he kept the evening fun and upbeat. He was able to incorporate the playlists I sent him and knew exactly which parts of the songs to play to enhance our most intimate moments. He was very quick to respond and was able to tailor the music to our wedding aesthetic. Thank you for making our big day such a great success, for working with us to bring our vision to life, and for being so professional throughout the entire process. Couldnt have asked for anyone better.

Second Song was absolutely amazing!! My fiancee and I decided to move forward with our wedding plans but to do so in a way that was safe, fun, and memorable. We downsized our guest list to mainly immediate family members and then brought in our remaining 100+ guests virtually via Zoom. Second Song professionally coordinated our virtual guests in a way that beyond exceeded our expectations! With multiple camera angles and amazing audio (all of our friends and family were able to hear our vows perfectly), our virtual guests truly felt like they were with us in person on our big day. Everyone had a blast and was so so impressed! Thank you to Ralph, Rob, and Joey from Second Song for being so fun, professional, and accommodating during these times! Weve made the best memories and have you to thank for that! We absolutely would recommend this company to anyone :)

Second Songs team was amazing to work with. Having changed our original wedding plans to a micro wedding - we wanted our out of town guests be involved as much as possible.Our DJ Mike knew exactly the vibe we wanted to set with music and provided an AMAZING playlist. As well as facilitated including our zoom guests.Our out of town family was able to do a reading over zoom during our ceremony and speeches during our reception.Just the best experience all around.

Second Song was wonderful, we received an excellent package deal for our tiny COVID-safe ceremony in late March (11 people including us, the couple) which covered the Zoom livestream, videographer, and DJ. We had quite a big day, with two religious ceremonies and two separate locations - one in Santa Clarita, the other in Woodland Hills. They made it work so well and were on time. Ralph, our DJ, was excellent! He played the music we requested and made the day flow very smoothly and was able to navigate last minute changes without needing our direction, he read the room very well. Timo, our videographer, captured all the important moments of our ceremonies. The first video he made was shorter than we anticipated in the contract, so we followed up and he made a lovely final product that blew us away. I’m really grateful for the attentive customer service. Their staff wore masks and kept their distance as much as possible, which I very much appreciated. We were also given the opportunity to save our Zoom footage as well. They were also easy to get in touch with via phone and email, which is a must for any stressed out couple trying to make their special day flow nicely. We did not use a wedding planner, which made this all the more important and they were there to answer our questions and helped us plan accordingly.

Rob is THE MAN! We loved working with Rob as our DJ at our wedding; he knows exactly what hes doing and completely got the vibe we were going for. To this day, our friends and family tell us how much fun they had dancing the whole night at our wedding, we feel like the night went perfectly and Rob was a huge component of that. We referred him to our friends and we were so excited to see him at 3 other weddings we attended. We will always be huge fans of Rob and his talent! :)

Second Song provided audio and Zoom streaming for our wedding and totally rocked it. We heard from multiple Zoom guests unprompted about how smooth and high quality the streaming was and that our DJ Ralph was great. The fact that we could interact with everyone made it really special. I think it was the highlight of the day. Thanks again Ralph!

Rob was amazing. He made sure we understood what was required to pull off our big non-profit school fundraiser gala, had everything we needed for the event, and worked to keep us within budget. Craig was top notch working with on site - highly recommend a walk through prior to your event as he caught a few things we had missed. He was so easy to work with, understood the larger context of what we were working towards, and had an eye towards that at each step prior to and during the event. Aaron worked really hard that night to make sure everything was just right, and Joey was the perfect DJ!! He immediately got a sense of the crowd and played all the right songs. It was so much fun. Big thanks to the team for making sure everything went without a hitch. Highly recommend.

We are now going to get a bunch of friends together for a summer silent disco and wouldn’t use anyone else! Thank you so much!!

Rob was an amazing DJ at our wedding. I couldnt have asked for anything more! He handled all logistics beforehand, and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted. During our reception, he was incredible at reading the crowd and knowing just what to play to get everyone dancing - the dance floor was never empty! I highly recommend using Second Song for you next event, they are so easy and fun to work with, and they really know how to keep the energy up the entire time during the event! I will definitely be using them again!

You have to go with Rob at Second Song! Rob is one of my favorite DJs. He is super organized, professional, friendly, reliable, responsive, and responsible. The DJ part was one of the one pieces of our wedding I knew we didnt need to worry about - I have seen Rob DJ many events and he always gets the party going and keeps it going. This was especially true at our wedding. Even my family members who never dance were dancing all night. It was an incredible memory to look out and see so many important people to my husband and I having the time of their lives. And the dance party didnt stop till the venue told us we had to leave. It isnt easy to read the energy of the room and keep it going the whole time - Rob found just the right balance. Highly recommend Rob to be your DJ for any important event!

Review №45

I got married this past summer and, while I let my wife do most of the planning, I was adamant that I CHOOSE the DJ. I am extremely picky about music and even pickier about DJs. An MC/DJ can really make or break your wedding reception. Its the difference between a total rager that no one will ever forget and a blah blah cookie cutter playlist that everyone always hears and no one dances to. To me, you really need a DJ who can play to the room. Someone who has a good sense of who is at the party and what will get them moving and enjoying themselves. Too many times Ive seen DJs playing to the youngest (with raunchy rap or EDM) or oldest people in the room with tired, cliche wedding anthems to the total neglect of everyone else. Rare is someone who *gets* how to play to everyones tastes at just the right moments. Well, I can proudly and enthusiastically say I knew EXACTLY who Id be hiring for the job. I met one of the DJs at my cousins wedding and he freaking ROCKED the house. Not only with music but with awesome MCing. I knew immediately (even though I wasnt engaged yet) that this is who Id be having at my wedding. Fast forward 3 years, I called Rob, founder of Second Song. And just like Id hoped, he absolutely killed it. He was totally on top of every detail, coordinated with the band, made it so easy and stress-free for me. And not going to lie, all the compliments I got for having such an awesome dance floor didnt hurt. I cannot recommend Rob and Second Song enough. If youre looking to dance, look no further.R
