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.

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.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of DJing an unforgettable party in Gilroy. About five days before the event, I met with the family to go over my song selection. They shared their preferred tracks, which helped me create a custom playlist that truly reflected their taste.

The venue was located conveniently right off the freeway, making it easy for guests to find. It had a clean, spacious setup with plenty of parking and minimal neighbors—perfect for a lively party without noise complaints.

The host was incredibly welcoming and even invited me to eat. The food spread was impressive, featuring a taco guy serving fresh tacos alongside delicious Chinese food—a combo I didn’t know I needed but absolutely loved. For the kids, there was a jumper and a piñata, keeping them entertained all evening.

The vibe was nonstop fun. There was a generous bar pouring shots and beer all night long. We switched back and forth between English and Spanish music, keeping everyone on their feet. I kicked off the night with Bay Area hip-hop, transitioned into corridos, then moved to old-school funk, cumbias, and freestyle. Every genre hit just right, and the energy never dropped.

The party was originally planned until 8 PM, but everyone was having such a great time that we extended the music for another three hours, going strong from 3 to 11 PM.

Even though the venue owner had his own house sound system, we brought our own setup—and he was so impressed that he asked for our contact information for future events.

All in all, it was a night to remember in Gilroy—great people, great music, and great vibes!

 There are many ways to do a Latin Party. You can have one at your house which is a lot of work.  You will have to prep your house with decorations and order chairs and have the food ready.  Or you can have one at a venue which can provide a space for you and have a food at the location already.  Why not have a Latin party at a Mexican restaurant. We had our party at the Green Onion in San Pedro.  They had a regular restaurant with a banquet room.

  I got there and the mariachi was playing. When they had a break then I started to set up the gear. It’s a beautiful thing when vendors work together to make it happen. Some folks can be difficult but this Mariachi was very accommodating. They had their instruments in the area I wanted to set up and told me it was ok.

  People were dancing with the mariachi so I wanted to keep the party going. I had the choice of old school music or Spanish music and of course I went Spanish. We went Spanish for a little bit then they wanted 70s party music. Bee Gees here we come! It is fabulous to go from Spanish to English party music. There is so much too choose from. You can do like 3 to 5 songs of one genre then jump around to get more engagement. Overall it was a fun night in San Pedro. People were about to talk on the mic and gave kind words to the birthday girl.
