Coastal Entertainment Group

Nicholas, from Coastal Entertainment, was hired to be our DJ at our wedding on October 14, 2012, and we couldn't have had a more perfect DJ. From the start Nicholas was very open to the music we wanted to play at our wedding and met with us three times before the day to go over our playlist and any other questions we had. My husband and I were picky with our music, but Nicholas understood and only played music we specified. Nicholas stuck to the genres we wanted to play and any music he needed to add to fill time was well within our taste. Our wedding party, parents, and guests all commented on how nice and professional Nicholas was. Everyone danced and had a great time at our wedding and they are all still raving about it. We definitely would recommend Nicholas to DJ at any event.

On Sept 15th, my lovely new wife Annie and I were married in Santa Barbara. Prior to the wedding, we'd spent weeks trying to track down a DJ who could both provide our reception with great music, but also provide live-sound for our beach-wedding. Eventually we came across Nicholas at Coastal Entertainment and he rescued us from DJ limbo.
Not only did he provide the microphones on the beach so our guests could hear our vows clearly, he helped our wedding coordinator with people-wrangling at the reception. As the night went on, he played great music for our guests to dance to and made sure not to play anything from our "do-not-play list".
We also had a couple extras we needed such as a generator for the beach and asked Nicholas to stay an extra hour for the reception. He accommodated both at a very reasonable rate to help stay within our budget.
All in all, Nicholas is a complete pro and very organized. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a great wedding DJ. Thanks again, Nicholas.

Nicholas was the DJ at my daughter's batmitzvah. He was FANTASTIC. When we met to discuss the music he included my daughter and took into account her wants and treated her with respect and as an "equal" in the process. During the actual even Nicholas was responsive to some spur of the moment changes that needed to happen. All the kids had a great time dancing!! We plan on using Nicholoas again when it is our son's bar mitzvah.

Coastal provied microphones and sound equipment for a chidlren's musical production in a park. They worked with me to get the exact sound requirements for the show in a professional, flexible and friendly manner. I look forward to working with them again.

We rented large speakers and an ipod sound mixer for our wedding. The price was very reasonable, the system worked perfectly and everyone had a great time dancing to the music. It was all delivered on time and removed promptly afterwards. I thought the service/experience was excellent and I would certainly recommend Coastal Entertainment for such services.

I received a phone call quickly after posting my request and the company worked within my tight budget since we are a non-profit organization. Every correspondence was very professional. The music was exactly what we were looking for. The DJ mixed it up with old and newer music. I would definately recommend Coastal Entertainment Group, Southern California to everyone.

We had Coastal Entertainment & Event Services work our annual Holiday Party and if it weren't for the lighting and music....it would have been just another, hohum event....Our DJ Nicholas was fantastic, so easy and nice to work with...he understands how to please a crowd and inspire people to get on the dance floor- without interfering in the party or being intrusive. Coastal Entertainment has a very good aptitude for reading people and timing....and certainly understands customer service! We have already contracted him for our next 2 events, so please don't just think of them as just a Wedding DJ....they are great for all occasions and age groups!!! F&B in SB

Nicholas was a fabulous DJ and did a wonderful job with the sound for the ceremony as well as setting up the lighting for our reception. He was a pleasure to work with and kept our dance floor packed all night! He even played another song after the "last song" when our guests wanted more. Thanks, Nicholas!!

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Nicholas! He completely exceeded our expectations and we set our expectations high! Nicholas was very good about communicating with me before the wedding and he listened to our every request. After the wedding our family was raving about the variety of music that was played and how Nicholas kept the dance floor packed the entire night. My aunt told me that she'd requested "Brickhouse", but it never got played. I told her that was because it was on our DO NOT play list, so more kuddos to Nick for listening to our requests! He even stayed 1.5 hours longer than we'd originally booked him for and he didn't hesitate for a second to say YES! Nick is phenomenal at mc'ing. He's super professional, energetic, and only uses the mic when necessary...he's not your typical cheesy DJ. Thank you Nicholas for contributing to our magical night. It was absolutely flawless!

Nick was extremely intuitive and was able to read the crowd perfectly. He kept the party going all night, we even had to extend our reception because no one wanted to leave the dance floor! He was very helpful leading up to the Wedding Day and provided us with a wonderful experience on our special day.

My husband and I certainly made the right choice by booking Coastal Entertainment for our wedding. They handled everything for us, including the ceremony and cocktail hour music. We had an extensive lists of songs to be played, and of course songs like the Macarena and YMCA that we refused to have played. They did a great job making sure the vibe was just right for the night, and everyone had such a great time. The music definitely plays a huge role in how well the evening will go, and with the wrong DJ you could have a disasterous wedding. We highly recommend Coastal Entertainment for your wedding!!

Nicholas Mehdi, DJ did a good job of starting the dancing and getting the party going, kept most of our guests on the dance floor the whole night...Everyone had a good time and helped in making our wedding lively and one we wouldn't forget!

I am using Coastal Entertainment Group for my wedding in Malibu this November. They have been very helpful in helping me choose the perfect music for my event, and have been working with my wedding coordinator to make sure all announcements and details are worked out. I am SO excited for the "Big Day" to actually be here. I will post some more after the wedding......

Nick was a truly great DJ! I gave him a list of must plays and he stuck to it perfectly - mixing the songs together to keep everyone on the dance floor all night. Our wedding ended at 11pm and the dance floor was packed the entire time. He also did a great job mic'ing the ceremony. Thanks Nick

Coastal Entertainment: Rating 10!! My husband and I were very impressed with our DJ services. They went above and beyond to provide us with exactly what we wanted. We had a somewhat complex wedding (2 ceremonies, a cocktail hour and then the reception) and live in San Francisco. They took the time to consult with us and understand the process/timing of our ceremony and absolutely nailed it! They also took the time to really know our music preferences and were thrilled with both the cocktail and reception music. They always immediately returned our emails/calls, answered any questions we had, and walked us through the process patiently. Our DJ, Nick even came to the Country Club the day before to make sure his DJ set up in all 3 rooms was appropriate! I would highly recommend Coastal Entertainment Group.

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of this entertainment company. From day one they were extremely helpful in helping us pick our music, going over pricing and setup as well as helping us put together a timeline for the big day. They kept in touch with us over the months and weeks leading up to our June 6 wedding. They made sure they knew exactly what we wanted to be played and what music was totally not to be played (ie the Macarena, YMCA, the Chicken Dance, Electric Slide). Nick understood the themes that we requested for each part of our wedding day. The ceremony through the reception had changes in music that flowed beautifully. Classical for the ceremony, to Motown for the cocktail hour, to old and new love songs for dinner music, to the dance floor which opened up to a wide variety of music (and he kept us as close to our timeline as possible). Everyone at our wedding commented on the music and how much they loved it and we never had an empty or almost empty dance floor. Nick at Coastal Entertainment is highly professional, wonderful to work with, knowlegable, flexible and has an extensive music library. We would work with him again and again!

Our vendors were simply amazing and would highly recommend them if you are in the planning stages or your wedding. They were definitely an all-star cast. Our DJ - Coastal Entertainment Group (Nicholas) was completely on the ball. Very-well organized and made things run smoothly at the wedding. Great playlist and knows his music. He kept the dance floor packed all night long and at the end of the reception, the guests did not want to leave - they wanted to keep dancing.

Our wedding turned out far better than we could ever imagine. Best of luck on your own wedding planning!
