If you're searching for the one of  the  best prom venues in San Jose, look no further than Coyote Ranch Event Center. We recently had the pleasure of DJing Westmont High School’s prom for the third year in a row—and it’s easy to see why schools keep coming back to this incredible location.

What makes Coyote Ranch such a standout prom venue? For starters, the spacious 33-acre layout provides endless flexibility. From open lawns to rustic barns and covered pavilions, there’s room to dance, dine, and create unforgettable memories under the stars. During this year’s prom, we set up on the main stage and used a unique speaker arrangement—six speakers positioned around the area—to deliver crystal-clear sound across the venue. No matter where guests were seated or playing games, the music was on point.

We also tried something new this year: two DJ stations and three DJs rotating throughout the night. This quick-mix format kept the energy high and the dancefloor packed all night. It was a huge hit with students and staff alike.

Coyote Ranch’s accessibility and ample parking make it an easy choice for schools looking to ensure a smooth, stress-free event. Plus, its natural beauty and private setting create a safe and visually stunning environment—ideal for any prom theme, from boho-chic to classic Hollywood glam.

 Overfelt High School Prom at Blanco Urban Venue – A Night to Remember in Downtown San Jose

This past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to DJ the Overfelt High School prom at one of San Jose’s most stylish event spaces — Blanco Urban Venue. Located in the heart of downtown, Blanco offers a multi-level layout that perfectly suited the night’s festivities. From setup to the final song, everything went off smoothly, starting with quick and easy access to the parking garage for unloading.

The venue’s three levels brought unique vibes to the event. Students enjoyed a delicious meal upstairs in the elegant dining area, while the dance floor downstairs kept the energy high all night long. We brought the heat with a mix of Latin hits, hip hop, and a touch of pop — exactly what Overfelt's crowd wanted. One of the night's highlights was announcing the prom court, adding that special touch to an already unforgettable evening.

Blanco’s Great Room provided ample space for dancing under chic chandeliers, while the Rooftop Terrace offered perfect spots for sunset selfies and chill-out moments. This venue’s built-in style, full kitchen, and modern amenities made it an ideal setting for prom night.

Located in San Pedro Square, Blanco is surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and late-night snack spots — great for both students and staff. Plus, it’s easy to get to with public transit and nearby parking.

Whether you’re planning a prom, formal, or graduation party, Blanco Urban Venue stands out as one of the best in the South Bay. Big thanks to Overfelt High for bringing us out — you made it a night to remember!

If you’re looking for the ultimate prom venue in San Jose, GlassHouse should be at the top of your list. We recently got to DJ Andrew Hill High School’s prom here, and let’s just say—it was next level.

First off, the vibe? Immaculate. GlassHouse has this modern, upscale feel with high ceilings, sleek architecture, and tons of natural light (perfect for golden hour prom pics!). It feels elegant without being over the top, striking the right balance for a night that’s all about fun and memories.

The space is huge—seriously, there was plenty of room for dining, photo stations, and a packed dance floor. The lighting and sound system are fully customizable too, which meant we got to kick things off with smooth R&B while everyone ate, then flip the switch into full party mode.

Once we dropped some Spanish hits, the energy went way up—everyone rushed to the floor. From there, it was all current hip-hop bangers and non-stop dancing until the very end.

Located right in downtown San Jose, it’s easy to get to and surrounded by great photo ops—both inside the venue and around the city streets. Plus, the GlassHouse staff knows what they’re doing. Everything from catering to décor setup ran smoothly.

Big shoutout to Andrew Hill—they brought the energy and made the night unforgettable. We’re hyped to work with them again in May!

If your school’s looking to make prom magical, GlassHouse San Jose delivers the perfect mix of style, space, and straight-up fun.

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being part of an unforgettable 50th birthday celebration at Dante Robere Vineyards in beautiful Livermore, California. Arriving about an hour and fifteen minutes before the festivities began, the vineyard was already bustling with energy and anticipation. The staff greeted me warmly and asked whether I’d be setting up indoors or outdoors—after a quick check with the event coordinator, it was confirmed that I’d be indoors for the main event.

Dante Robere Vineyards offers a gorgeous setting, and their outdoor patio was packed with guests enjoying wine and dinner under the spring sky. The organizers asked if I could run a speaker outside so the music could be enjoyed throughout the space—and of course, we made it happen!

The birthday honoree came prepared with a playlist packed with classics. We kicked off the evening with a mix of '80s pop for the dinner portion, setting a nostalgic and upbeat tone. Guests were swaying, smiling, and enjoying every minute of it.

As the sun set and the party moved back indoors, we transitioned into a full-blown '90s dance party. From hip hop to boy bands, the old-school jams had everyone on their feet, reliving memories and creating new ones.

It was a night filled with laughter, dancing, and great wine. Dante Robere Vineyards proved to be the perfect venue—its blend of rustic charm and modern amenities made it ideal for celebrating life’s milestones.

If you're looking for a Livermore winery to host a birthday party or special event, I highly recommend checking out Dante Robere. Great vibes, stunning views, and a team that truly knows how to help make magic happen.

Vinyl Is Way Different Than Digital

Vinyl DJing is a whole different ballgame compared to digital. If you can handle vinyl, transitioning to digital is a breeze—but the reverse isn’t necessarily true. Vinyl has a distinct feel that demands more precision and skill. For instance, while using the Technics MK7 turntable, I noticed a big difference from the MK2. The MK2’s speed control button lights up at standard speed, giving you a clear indicator, but the MK7 lacks this feature. It's a small but significant adjustment.

OG Bar in San Jose: A Vinyl DJ’s Paradise

San Jose's OG bar is the perfect setup for vinyl DJs. They go above and beyond with backup headphones, their own needles, and even decorative vinyl records that double as playable backups. Their Pioneer mixer is user-friendly, although I had a brief moment of confusion with the cue buttons—they’ve got two buttons above each channel. Once I figured it out, it was smooth sailing.

The sound quality was impressive. The speakers, complete with amps, filled the room with warmth, and you could occasionally hear the classic vinyl pop, which added to the atmosphere.

A Unique Venue Experience

What sets OG bar apart is its clever layout. The front area is a vinyl haven, designed for DJs and vinyl enthusiasts. As you walk toward the restrooms, you’ll discover a second space called Alter Ego with different music and a more relaxed vibe. It’s essentially two parties under one roof, allowing guests to switch scenes without stepping outside.

OG bar isn't just a venue—it’s a testament to the artistry and culture of vinyl DJing. Whether you're a seasoned DJ or just a fan of good music, it’s worth checking out.

A few weeks ago, we received an exciting call from a local company looking to shake up their routine. They typically host a lunch event during the workday but wanted to do something fresh and fun after hours, inviting employees and their plus-ones to join. Their idea? A lively corporate DJ event at the Burbank Marriott.

We were thrilled to bring their vision to life. The company booked a room equipped with speakers and a mixer, and we seamlessly connected to their system for a quick and efficient setup. Our mission was clear: provide a night filled with energy, music, and lots of dancing.

The team specifically requested plenty of line dances, and we delivered! From timeless classics to upbeat old-school hits, the dance floor was packed all night. To make the evening even more special, we created a custom line dance tailored to the company’s name. It was a hit!

The evening wasn’t all dancing, though. The company’s big bosses took the opportunity to address the group, blending business with entertainment in a way that felt organic and engaging. It was a memorable night where team members bonded, celebrated, and enjoyed an unforgettable experience together.

If you’re looking to elevate your next corporate event in Burbank, a DJ can add the perfect mix of fun and professionalism. Whether it’s line dances, old-school vibes, or something entirely unique, we’re here to make your event extraordinary. Let us transform your gathering into a night to remember at the Burbank Marriott or any venue of your choice.

BWADJ had the pleasure of providing sound, entertainment, and some lighthearted comedy for a recent company party at the beautiful Silver Creek Country Club in San Jose. Serving areas like San Jose, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Gilroy, and Santa Clara, I brought the vibes and fun to an unforgettable company function.

A few weeks back, I was asked not only to DJ the event but also to sprinkle in some jokes and a short monologue—something most DJs might shy away from. But I was excited to go the extra mile! From fun shout-outs to the marketing team, sales team, warehouse crew, accounting, and purchasing departments, everyone felt included and celebrated.

The evening started with some Christmas music and some pop tunes during dinner, setting the festive mood. As the night progressed, the team got involved in interactive games like:

• Musical Candy Canes – A holiday twist on the classic game of Musical Chairs.

• Marshmallow Toss – Where team members tried to shoot marshmallows into buckets.

• Shake-Off Competitions – A hilarious team showdown that had everyone cheering.

To keep the energy high, they also hosted a White Elephant gift exchange.

After the games and laughs, it was time for the real fun: the dance floor! We turned up the energy with a mix of hits that got everyone on their feet. The crowd was having such a great time that we ended up going 30 minutes extra.

This corporate party was more than just a company event—it was about bringing teams together, celebrating their hard work, and creating lasting memories.

Are you planning a corporate holiday event in the San Jose, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Morgan Hill, or Gilroy areas? Last week, we had the privilege of DJing a massive holiday event for Lockheed Martin at the renowned Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose.

The Tech Museum is an incredible venue for any corporate gathering. What makes it stand out is its interactive exhibits, which you can explore while enjoying the festivities. Located across from Christmas in the Park, it’s in the heart of the city, but the museum staff made parking stress-free—an essential perk during the holiday season.

This event was nothing short of spectacular. Since it was a large-scale party, we set up a 6-speaker system on the bottom floor. Impressively, guests on the 3rd level could still hear the speeches and music perfectly. One highlight of the evening was a heartfelt retirement speech followed by Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” – an energetic send-off for a well-deserved farewell.

We played a mix of everything: holiday classics, well-loved hits, and songs everyone could sing and dance to. Compared to last year’s flat, sprawling venue, this year’s dance floor was the perfect size. Guests were up and dancing by 8:30 PM, and the party didn’t slow down until the event wrapped at 11 PM.

If you’re looking to host a corporate holiday party that’s engaging, fun, and perfectly soundtracked, you need the right Bay Area DJ. From intimate gatherings to big celebrations, we’ll set the mood and keep the energy flowing.
