Damon Tedesco

Damon was a fantastic DJ. Because we had such a small wedding planned, we initially were not sure we would need a DJ. However, one month away from the wedding date, we decided it would be better to be safe than sorry and hired Damon – and we are so glad we did!! With only one month to go, Damon worked quickly to make sure our music and ceremony sound needs were caught up to speed. Damon made sure he had all the music we requested. If he did not have a particular song we wanted, we were able to mail him a CD and he made sure to incorporate everything we requested. Damon was extremely organized and he was one vendor I didn’t have to worry about at all – we knew everything would be fine.

On the wedding day, Damon kept the ceremony running smoothly and had everything timed perfectly. During dinner, Damon played the perfect mix of songs that we requested as well as others he knew would complement our musical tastes. The party ended up going a little longer than planned and Damon agreed to extend his time with us – this made our guests very happy!

Damon is professional, courteous, and in a league of his own in the wedding DJ world. He is highly recommended by all who have used his services, and we are so grateful to join this group of lucky couples!

Great guy, and great work! I was extremely happy with the process beforehand and his performance the day of. He showed up early, and kept us posted during the reception of the things that we needed to keep tabs on. Great personality and very professional. Wholehearted recommendation, and I would definitely choose him if I had to do it all over again.

Damon was great. Damon was recommended to us by our Day of Coordinator, who used him as her DJ for her wedding. I thought that spoke volumes of Damon's abilities. Damon was everything we wanted in a DJ- someone who was professional, polite, attentive to details, and conscientious. Damon was always on top of our time lines and e-mails. While Damon offered to meet with us, we did not meet with him before the wedding because we felt so confident talking to him on the phone. Damon was so great that my out of state friend who was planning her wedding asked me how we found Damon and what questions we asked him-- we had to tell her that we were just lucky!

Damon was wonderful, always professional. The dance floor was packed all night. I highly recommend him.

Damon Tedesco is the best DJ in Los Angeles. He was our DJ for our May 2009 wedding; we were very pleased with his services. He listened to me and my husband's musical preferences and played precisely what we wanted to hear. He was not cheesy or wanting to speak into the microphone every chance he got. He is very easy to work with, responsive and doesn't have his own agenda. He is very professional and laidback at the same time. We met with him 2 times before the wedding, just to go over and refine the details for the wedding. We knew we were in good hands with Damon and didn't have to worry. Basically, he rocked the dance floor in a very tasteful way, and the dance floor was packed all night long. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding!!

Damon was our DJ for our May 9, 2009 wedding. I can't say enough about Damon. He was awesome!Let's just say my husband is picky when it comes to music and he didn't want a cheesy DJ. I told Damon upfront that we were both picky about the music and that didn't matter to him. He was so easy to work with and what ever we wanted was fine by him! I knew with Damon I didn't have anything to worry about! Damon played everything we asked him to play and he also picked songs that were exactly us! He was very professional and just a nice guy! I received SO many compliments about the music (all generations were happy) and the flow of the wedding! I even had people ask if they could get a copy of the list of songs played. Our guests had such a good time! With Damon as your DJ you will not be disappointed. I can't recommend him enough!

We got married in February 2009, at the Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena, and Damon handled the music for the wedding ceremony (and the pre-ceremony mingling). He was fantastic. He had a gracious demeanor, looked great in his suit, and he handled everything professionally and flawlessly. The music sounded great and was the right volume, the officiant's mic worked perfectly, and everything went smoothly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, he was a joy to work with, and was always on top of everything--didn't bug us, but didn't let anything fall through the cracks either. I can't speak too highly of him--he's extremely competent, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

We found Damon through a referral and we were so happy with him! What we liked most about him was that he really listened to us and wanted the music to be a reflection of us. He even asked us for our top 20 must-have songs and also a list of the songs we couldn't stand!! We have been to weddings before where the DJs would not honor the guests' song requests so we asked him ahead of time to play ANY request even if it was on our "songs we hate" list. He happily played our guests' requests and was also able to read the crowd and keep many generations happy.

He is flexible, kind, and professional. He put our minds at ease and got everyone movin' and shakin' on the dance floor.

Damon was exceptional in skill and professionalism, a pleasure to deal with from the very first phone conversation. Damon took the interest in understanding our needs, likes and dislikes about the entire wedding and not just about the music. While we may not have been completely organized with a song list, etc, we knew what we liked and Damon filled in the rest beautifully. The cocktail hour and reception were a hit and we believe he really made the event come alive and set the mood! There were no grandstand comics or mic-hogs, just sheer professionalism with great music. Sincerely, we are so grateful to Damon and high recommend him if you wish to have your wedding incredibly off the charts with great tunes!

For continuity we asked our photographer (Meg Perotti) what DJ she likes to work with. Without hesitation she said Damon Tedesco! Don't be fooled by his professional appearance because this guy rocks (if you want him too). My fiancee and I had a very un-traditional cocktail party style wedding in a back yard in Palos Verdes. The music was very important in keeping the tempo of the party and transitioning from through each phase of our wedding. Damon nailed it. We only gave him genres to work with and he seamlessly merged our eclectic music styles together and still was able to mix in some requests. He was great at "reading" the crowd and playing the right music at the right time. He was a big part of our awesome wedding. Thanks Damon!

I noticed in other peoples' reviews of Damon that many mentioned that "the dance floor was packed all night." This was so true. We unexpectedly had uncles, parents of friends, etc tearing up the dance floor! It was great.

Damon came with a very high recommendation from a family friend and after using him for our wedding reception, my wife and I agree that he is the best! We sent him the list of songs we wanted and asked him to add some of his own based on the styles we chose (which included everything from oldies to rap) and he did exactly what we asked without any problems whatsoever. With the millions of things you have to worry about when planning a wedding, the last thing we wanted to be concerned with was the music, and thanks to Damon, we never were. Another huge plus was that he was not obtrusive to the reception at all...no cheesy announcer voices, no annoying cliches on the mic. He professionally announced what we asked him to and kept the entire party organized. Due to the fact that Damon Tedesco was recommended to us, my wife and I thought it would be nice to recommend him to anyone looking for the best wedding dj available!

Damon is exceptional! I worked with him and as an officiant he is a dream come true. He cares about making sure the Bride and Groom have exactly what they want and so is a real team player. He took time to review the music cues and asked great questions so that everything would be perfect during the ceremony. One of the things that is most important is that on this very special day, even your vendors look appropriate...Damon looked great in his beautiful suit and anyone would be proud to have him at their wedding. I highly recommend him with enthusiasm and look forward to working with him again!!

Damon was the DJ at our August 16th wedding and I cannot say enough
good things about him. He was the first DJ we interviewed. He was
extremely professional and answered all of our questions. We decided to
hire him right there for the ceremony and wedding reception.

When we started having problems picking out some of the songs we needed
(processional, recessional, etc.), he let us meet with him again to
give us advice and he even burned us a cd with possible music choices
for us to think about. On the day of he wedding, he did everything we
planned on. He set up at the ceremony and played everything that we
had talked about. After the ceremony, he moved his equipment to the
reception hall. He was a great mc, not cheesy like other posters have
said, and he helped keep the reception moving. He played all of the
songs we wanted and he read the crowd perfectly to keep everyone on the
dance floor.

He is terrific...you will not regret hiring him as your DJ.

Damon was one of my most reliable and professional vendors. He was always available via e-mail or a phone call to discuss the wedding music, made my husband and I feel at ease thoughout the process, and was worth every penny! He had the dance floor packed all night with a super mix of music to meet everyone's needs. People did not want to leave at the end of the night. I have been to some weddings where the DJ takes over and is constantly on the mic. Damon is not like that - he plays the music and keeps the focus on the bride, groom, and guests. What I most appreciated about Damon was that he genuinely seemed to care about us and wanted to do everything possible to make our night memorable. Another thing to note is that all of my other vendors knew him and spoke highly of him.

Damon was amazing. My husband and I met with him the first time about a year before our wedding. We were immediately impressed and at ease. His knowledge of music is expansive and he clearly had a lot of experience. His personality was very sweet and outgoing, not at all aggressive or dramatic. We Hired him on the spot. We wanted someone that would play the music and help keep the dancing going without trying to insert cheesy DJ. Damon was not cheesy DJ, Damon was awesome DJ! He played the songs for our ceremony, cued perfectly without a snag! played the cocktail hour of the genre we specified (we basically just gave him the genre and he played exactly that! no weird songs that didnt fit) the reception was perfect, everyone danced the entire time- he kept the night moving along so smoothly, no train wrecks. He also recommended other vendors as well, and they all were so great! He was certainly an integral part to our wedding that we will remember forever. I would highly recommend Damon to my best friend. He was outstanding! Very Professional.

Also, my nephew was fascinated by the mixing table and the music that Damon played. He ended up behind the table with Damon wearing a pair of headphones! Damon was so cute to let him "play" DJ, all the while keeping the dance floor packed. My nephew now wants to be a DJ inspired by Damon. He will remember that forever!!

A DJ can really make or break a wedding, so you can imagine my delight to discover such an incredible DJ! Damon accommodated our every need and even made an awesome 80s mix for our first dance!! He was incredibly responsive all night and kept everyone on their feet, despite our growing blisters. Everything flowed so easily, from the invocation to the toasts to the first dance to the cake cutting--it was seamless. When you have such a competent DJ running the show, you can really relax and enjoy the night; I really valued that!

If you're looking for a DJ who'll conform to your vision, offer insightful suggestions, be flexible when you need, and adjust to changes as they happen, Damon Tedesco is your guy! You won't be disappointed!

Damon was a pro and kept it going. We actually didn't even see another person after taking with him. We left a deposit and all turned out great.

FANTASTIC! Great guy with amazing knowledge of music, excellent technical skills and the ability to read a crowd. Damon spent about an hour with us a few weeks before the wedding discussing our musical tastes and on the day, truly created a flow of music that enhanced and never detracted from the event. He was flexible on the day of, when we made several last minute changes in the order of events (other vendors were not so awesome about this!). He was able to manage a complicated mic set up for our outdoor ceremony: two officiants (a Rabbi and a Medicine Man) both with individual body mics, one floating mic for our seven bridesmaids and seven groomsmen to each reading individual blessings (sheva brachot) and then two mics on stands for our vocalists. And he did all of it perfectly without even getting a sound check. We had a crazy, demanding wedding and this guy kept a cool demeanor and performed perfectly the whole night.
Oh! And best of all, our dance floor was overflowing the whole night!!! Thank you so much Damon! You rock!!!

Damon Tedesco is a fantastic, professional DJ. We were absolutely thrilled with Damon's music choices and "hosting" of our wedding. Everything went entirely according to plan, and when little stuff came up - like how I forgot to put my dad's toast on the schedule - he handled it beautifully (no-one, including my dad or my groom, ever knew I forgot!). I was, of course, in "bride-mode" but I kept noticing through the haze of activity all our favorite songs AND all our favorite artists - he intuited what we would like from the lists we gave him and conversations we had with him. The microphone/toasts was perfect, he were perfect and our wedding was perfect. I whole-heartedly recommend him to you.

Excellent DJ! He read our minds and new exactly what to play and when to play it.

Damon was absolutely fantastic. He respected all of our "do not play" wishes, really listened to us, as far as what we wanted played, was very responsive to emails leading up to the wedding, etc. Most importantly, he didn't try and do dj patter and make it the Damon show. It was all about us all night. He was a great MC. For us, music was probably the most important part of the reception and we wanted it to be exactly right. Damon got it exactly right. I can't say enough good things about him. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Damon was great. He was very responsive leading up to the wedding. My husband and I had NO IDEA what music we wanted played for the wedding ceremony. Damon literally made us a CD of good music that he has used in the past, and let us pick. This was amazingly helpful and took a lot of the stress out of this step. He has a huge list of music and allowed us to decide exactly how "hands-on" we were going to be in the selection. We gave him not only a "play" and "do not play" list, but also gave him direction as to what type of music to play at certain times (during cocktail hour, during dinner, and during dancing) and he completely stuck to it. We had a beautiful wedding and he did a great job.

Damon was stellar, mixing our favorite tunes with brilliantly random songs that segued perfectly. I don't know how he did it, but it was amazing. My wife and I wanted a wedding that was special without worrying over every little detail, and Damon fit our needs precisely. And on a personal level, he's a great guy who brought such enthusiasm to every step of the process. What can I say: We were lucky to have him.

In a world with so many choices for a DJ, Damon rises to the top. His ability to keep the reception moving through his impeccable music selection made the evening fly by. His ever present smile made it seem as if he were a guest enjoying the party as well. Most importantly, his demeanor allowed guests to feel comfortable with requesting music, allowing everyone to be a part of the action. Thank you again Damon.

My wife and I are pretty particular with the music we wanted played at our wedding. We set up a meeting with him explaining what we wanted and we wanted to stay away from for our reception. Damon's music choices were on point all night. He made our reception flow and really set the atmosphere. He knew when to pick up the pace and when to back off. He reads a room exceptionally well. We had over 200 guests and everyone really had a great time dancing to great music. I wrote a special song for my wife and wanted to surprise her and sing it to her at the reception. Since Damon is also a professional sound engineer it made it easy for me to do this. The sound of my acoustic guitar and voice was rich and warm and he made me sound great! Not only is he an excellent DJ but he's easy to work with. Smiling all night, it shows that he loves what he does and that makes all the difference.

Excellence, Perfection, Genuine are just a few words that only begin to describe Damon and his talents as a DJ. It was very important to my husband and I that we not have the "typical" wedding songs you hear at every wedding. Since Damon has such a strong musical background his library and music knowledge is very refreshing. I wanted to surprise by new husband by singing a song with a live band backing me up. Damon is also a professional sound engineer and made us all sound great. Even me, who doesn't sing. ;) He listened to what we wanted and provided perfect song choices all night. Besides all of this Damon is an all around wonderful guy. In a world where weddings are all about business it was great to deal with someone who is all about making your night a memorable one.

Simply put, Damon was phenomenal. He is a breath of fresh air in an indstury that reeks of cheese. I planned my wedding from across the country, and it just so happened that he was free to meet one afternoon while I was in town. He invited me to his home for our first consultation, which was really accommodating, since my schedule was tightly packed. His manner put me completely at ease, and it was clear that we felt the same way about the DJ's role at a wedding - he's there to keep the music playing and help move things along, but in a backstage, behind-the-scenes kind of way. So many DJs use a wedding as a platform for their own posturing and goofy gimmicks - I'm not the type of person to say the wedding is all about the bride, but it's definitely not all about the DJ! Damon made me feel 100% confident that with him as our DJ, it would be all about class. He was extremely flexible and accessible, which is crucial for someone planning long-distance, and whatever questions I had or ideas I gave him, he followed up and knew just what to do. His announcements were crisp and clear, and he worked well with the waitstaff and other vendors to coordinate the first dances, meal service, etc. He played music that was right in line with our tastes, and the dance floor was almost never empty. I surprised my husband with a serenade at the reception, and Damon had the accompaniment CD ready to go. He even had me listen ahead to make sure it was the right track. That kind of attention to detail and readiness made everything go smoothly the whole night. The DJ can either make or break a wedding, and Damon's ego-free style definitely "made it." A month later, our guests are still talking about how classy the wedding was, and I attribute a great deal of that to him.

We had the pleasure of having Damon as our DJ at our wedding this past July. He was AMAZING!!! He was so kind to all our friends and family. The music he provided was excellent and exactly what we requested. Damon is very professional and has all the newest equipment and technology to provide you with any requests and special requirements. We had a small wedding with a very conservative crowd and were concerned that our guests would not really participate with the dancing section of our reception. He was so friendly and casual that everyone got up and danced the night away. As a matter of fact, there was one part of the evening that the entire dance floor was filled with our friends and family. It was such a memorable experience and we truly enjoyed having him at our wedding. He made everyone so comfortable and fullfilled every single request. He went above and beyond what we asked and we will forever be grateful. If you have the opporturnity to have him host your event, you will be very happy with your choice. Thanks again for everything you've done for us. You're the best!

Sincerely,
Kim and Robert

Not sure there's much to add that hasn't already been said. Damon is the BEST! He's professional, friendly, easy-going, reliable, trustworthy, organized, and fun. We planned our wedding remotely from NY, so there's a lot of uncertainty that comes with that. We never doubted our choice of Damon for a second, and it panned out perfectly. One funny story: one of my wife's best friends apparently requested a song and was rebuffed by Damon, because he understood our musical taste SO WELL that he knew we wouldn't like it. And he was right... Choose Damon and breathe a sigh of relief.
