Quinceañera Celebration at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church in West San Jose (Bay Area DJ Serving San Jose, Santa Clara, and Gilroy)

Looking for a quaint quinceañera venue in West San Jose? The Good Samaritan Episcopal Church Hall recently hosted a beautiful quinceañera celebration that was filled with joy, tradition, and dancing—a fun evening for all.

As a Bay Area DJ serving San Jose, Santa Clara, and Gilroy, I had the pleasure of keeping the event running smoothly from start to finish. The celebration kicked off with a short delay as guests arrived and settled in. Once everyone was present, the evening officially began with a grand entrance, followed by a sister dance and a heartfelt thank-you speech from the parents.

Next came the traditional parent dances, a touching moment that brought smiles. The client requested an announcement to guide guests toward the food, but I took it one step further by personally excusing each table for appetizers. This helped maintain a smooth and organized flow, allowing guests to enjoy their meal without a rush.

As dinner was served, I shifted the vibe by playing soothing old-school Spanish love songs. It created a warm, nostalgic ambiance perfect for the evening. From 7 to 10 PM, the party truly came alive with a mix of Spanish party music and Bay Area anthems that had everyone on their feet. We took a short break to sing “Las Mañanitas” and wish the birthday girl a happy birthday.

The night wrapped up with another round of high-energy dancing, making it a quinceañera to remember.

If you're planning an event in the Bay Area, I’d love to bring the perfect soundtrack to your special day!  Think of BWADJ.

Corporate Party in Palo Alto – High Energy, Great Music, and a 3-on-3 Showdown!  (Bay Area Dj serving San Jose, Palo Alto, and Mountain  View)

We recently had the opportunity to DJ a high-energy corporate party in Palo Alto for the awesome team at Sciton, and it was nothing short of amazing! As a Bay Area DJ serving San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View, we love events where we get to bring the energy and keep the crowd engaged—and this event definitely delivered.

With around 400 guests in attendance, the company went all out. From interactive games and raffle tickets to a full-on 3-on-3 basketball tournament, the atmosphere was competitive and fun. Teams came ready to play, sporting different jerseys and bringing serious court energy.

I was given a playlist direction focused on '80s music with a Latin twist, so I made sure to mix in classics that kept everyone moving. Since I was spinning for a full six hours, I expanded the set to include 2000s hits, 2010s party jams, and '90s hip hop to keep the vibe fresh and the energy high.

One of my favorite moments was building a basketball-themed DJ set—starting with “Basketball” by Kurtis Blow, jumping into Kriss Kross’ “Jump”, and then hitting hard with “Jump Around” by House of Pain. The crowd loved it, and the transitions kept the momentum strong.

Throughout the day, I kept the tracks short, mixing in a new song every minute or so to keep the party flowing. The event planner was thrilled, and the crowd's response was all the validation we needed.

If you're planning a corporate event in Palo Alto, San Jose, Sunnyvale, or Mountain View, and need a DJ who brings the right vibe—let’s make it happen.

Back to the Future-Themed Party in Burbank (Los Angeles DJ Serving Burbank, Hollywood, and Glendale)

 

Recently, I had the chance to DJ a truly unique kids' party in Burbank at Fun Ton Studio— a Back to the Future themed celebration!

The event took place at an actual movie studio, setting the perfect stage for a cinematic experience. From the moment I arrived, the décor was incredible: giant Back to the Future billboards personalized with the birthday boy’s name, colorful balloon displays, and even a miniature replica of the band set from the famous "Enchantment Under the Sea" scene. But the real star of the show? A full-size DeLorean Time Machine complete a driver who stayed the entire four hours.

When it came to the music, the theme guided the soundtrack. I started by curating a playlist inspired by the original Back to the Future soundtrack, which includes about 14 iconic tracks. I also added hits from popular 80s movies to keep the vibe authentic and fun. A few days before the event, the client sent over their playlist — and it was excellent! It had the kind of energy and track selection I would personally spin at my  own party.

What really made the night special was the feedback. The DeLorean driver came up to me and said the night flew by thanks to the music, and that the transitions were some of the best he’d ever heard. It’s moments like those that remind me why I love DJing events in Burbank and the greater Los Angeles area.

The party also featured fun activities like a talent show with kids, a pie-eating contest, and a team beer-chugging challenge. One of the highlights was the big raffle at the end, which kept guests around well past the scheduled time. What stood out most? The venue didn’t rush us out.

Mountain View Corporate Event | Bay Area DJ Serving San Jose, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale & Mountain View

A few weeks ago, I got the call to DJ a corporate event in Mountain View for a Bay Area tech company. They were looking for a high-energy DJ setup with powerful sound, and we delivered. We brought out our full sound system, including our "big boy" speakers and additional tops, perfect for the large campus setting.

The event took place in the inner quad of their corporate campus, with my DJ booth positioned under a canopy on the second level. This gave me a great view to direct the sound across the festivities. The theme was tropical, giving it a relaxed, summer-vibe atmosphere—almost like a corporate pool party without the pool and the cabanas.

We spun a mix of 2000s and 2010s dance music, which kept the crowd energized. Guests were enjoying a variety of fun activities, including games, a raffle with great prizes, and generous servings of company swag. One of the highlights for me was the coconut drink served in an actual coconut, and of course, the churros!

Setup required going through elevators and indoor office space where employees were still working on laptops and large screens—but many came out to join the fun. The balance between work and fiesta was right on.

If you're planning a corporate event in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, or San Jose, and need a Bay Area DJ who can bring top sound, energy, and vibe, let’s talk. We specialize in corporate parties, company picnics, and tech campus celebrations across the Bay. Call on bwadj.com.

Summer Wedding in Palo Alto: (Bay Area dj serving San Jose, Sunnyvale and Morgan Hill)

This summer, I had the pleasure of DJing a beautiful wedding in Palo Alto. The couple’s planner reached out to me ahead of time, and we collaborated closely to create a perfect flow for the evening. I sent over my music planner, and we finalized the key songs for each special moment of the night. We made sure we implemented a lot of events and we have to fit it in a four hour time frame.

Cocktail hour kicked off with a smooth, live saxophone performance that set a classy tone. At 6 PM, guests entered the ballroom, and we jumped right into the grand entrance for the wedding party and bridal couple—set to Celebration by Kool and the Gang. Immediately after, the couple shared their first dance  by Babyface, marking the start of a tightly timed but beautifully executed evening.

The planner was both coordinator and guest, so I made sure to check in frequently while also coordinating with the photo and video teams. At times, I had to locate them myself to keep everything moving. After a heartfelt blessing from the parents, dinner was served, followed by touching speeches and a large group photo.

Next came the parent dances, bouquet and garter toss, and the ever-popular money dance—which really turned up the energy. The dance floor came alive with a throwback to the Backstreet Boys, quickly followed by a guest-requested 2000s hip-hop hit Pop, Lock and Drop it. Then we threw in songs just like it. It was definitely  party time!

We wrapped up the night with a couples' dance and then opened up the floor for everyone. From start to finish, this Palo Alto summer wedding was packed with love, laughter, and non-stop music.

Mountain View Retirement Party with a Club Vibe (Bay Area DJ Serving San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Fremont)

Recently, I had djed a Friday night retirement party in Mountain View. The request came through Instagram, and when I asked what caught their attention, the response was simple: “Good vibe.”

The event took place on a military base, so getting in I had to show my Real ID and checking in with a guard at the gate. Driving through felt like entering a small city—families, kids on bikes, and a tight-knit community atmosphere. The venue itself was a cozy event house with a kitchen, perfect for this kind of party.

It was a surprise party, and the wife of the guest of honor handed me a playlist that blended classic house and soul—right up my alley. She also mentioned the crowd was from Chicago, so I made sure to include some hometown favorites and even stepped outside my usual set to download stepping tracks I hadn’t heard before. Turned out to be the right call—those songs packed the dance floor and gave a lot of energy

As dinner wound down, I shifted gears from soulful background tunes to r  and b jams that got the  toes tapping. From classic 2000s hip-hop like “Snap Yo Fingers” and “Crank That,” to newer hits and East Coast throwbacks, the vibe started to feel like a real club night. Quick mixing kept the energy up, and people were dancing between the tables, without any hesitation.

Who was the real MVP of the night? The wife. She was the life of the party, pulling everyone onto the floor. It was a great night and a lot of fun.
