I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!

My focus is quality. I take my job seriously and I hope that I can make you happy so that you’ll consider me for your next event, and any event thereafter. Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party.

When you have a family as large as mine chaos seems to ensue whenever there is a large gathering, add in an open bar and anything can happen. On multiple occasions Flobo seemed to magically keep the piece either through song choice, or dance off invite, or any number of other tricks he seemed to hide up his incredibly fashionable sleeves. I dare say this was the first wedding in the history of my family that didn’t have at least one disagreement break out. If he can do this with my crazy family, I can only imagine how magical an evening he creates for sane families!

### Review for Ozella Events We hired Ozella for our wedding in Ojai in 2021, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day, she was incredibly easy to work with and professional in every aspect. Ozella's performance was absolutely stunning. She sang all the songs we requested as if she had known them for years, bringing a level of emotion and authenticity that moved everyone present. Her piano abilities were equally impressive, adding a beautiful, live element to our ceremony and reception. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our specific requests made the planning process stress-free.

David was the EmCee for my wedding and was the real star of the show! (Okay I guess my wife was, but whatever.) He was instrumental in helping us keep the flow of our wedding go off without a hitch. He got a bunch of old white people shaking their booties with 90s dance music and The Spice Girls. (He asked permission for that one ahead of time.) On a serious note, I asked David to make sure I didn’t make a fool of myself at my own wedding and he memorably told me “I’ll wrestle you to the floor if I have to!” David was truly great. I’m so grateful to have him as part of our memories and to have had him running the show on our special day.

From the ceremony with an acoustic interlude, to cocktail hour with a live set, to dinner and first dance mashups, to the dance floor grooves, Chris nailed it at every turn. No exaggeration to say that almost every guest we’ve spoken with post-wedding has said that our dance floor was one of the most fun floors they’ve ever been on, and so much of that credit is due to Chris’s intentionality and creativity. The lighting design, DJ booth, and vibey add–ons created such an energetic setting, and all his transitions were fire!

I’m DJ Buddy Holly – Performed by David Charles Kramer, a professional DJ, guitarist, and vocalist based in Northern California. I provide elegant sound, lighting, and entertainment for weddings, receptions, and private events. Music has been my life since childhood — from playing guitar and singing live to mixing dance-floor favorites that keep guests celebrating all night long. I work closely with every couple to plan playlists, announcements, and timing that reflect their personality and vision. Whether it’s a romantic ceremony, a smooth dinner set, or an epic party finale, I bring professional sound and the right energy for every moment.

We’re more of a low-key couple and didn’t want a “club vibe,” but DJ Buddy Holly nailed it. He started with elegant classical guitar during dinner, then gradually turned the energy up once guests were ready to dance. He mixed our playlist with his own selections, and it was exactly the right balance of style and fun. Super professional setup, great sound quality, and friendly communication from start to finish. Every guest told us the music was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. Absolutely worth every penny.

The quality of their work was truly beautiful, memorable, and so perfect for us. He played our songs exactly as we had requested, including a cover of a J-Cole song for the groom's processional, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from The Lion King for the wedding party recessional, and a cover of "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty for the bride's walk down the aisle. Every detail was executed flawlessly, making our special day even more magical. We highly recommend PoeticMoor Inc. to any couple looking for an exceptional violinist!
