The live band was raved about, everybody complimented our choice of doing a DJ/Band mix and loved every second of it.

Overall, we only have positive things to say about our experience with Second Song and want to say thank you all for being a part of our special day!!!" - PEDRO. B
"We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding than DJ Mish! From start to finish, she was an incredible emcee, bringing the perfect mix of energy and professionalism. One of the standout features DJ Mish brought to the table was her bilingual skills! Being able to make all the announcements in both English and Mandarin was a huge plus for us, as my side of the family is Taiwanese. This made everyone feel included and appreciated.
DJ Mish kept the vibes immaculate all night long. Her music selection was spot on, and she had everyone dancing from the moment the reception started until the very last song. She truly knows how to read the crowd and keep the energy high!
On top of her DJ skills, DJ Mish and the entire team we corresponded with leading up to our wedding were such pleasures to work with. DJ Mish is not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person. Her warm personality and professionalism shone through in every interaction we had with her.
Thank you all for making our wedding unforgettable!!!!"

"Second Song is THE BEST!! Upon first reaching out - Rob greeted us with professionalism. He answered all our questions in a timely manner.
I love how Second Song has YouTube videos that interview each of their DJs so that we can get a feel for their styles. After reviewing all of them, we landed on DJ Mac - whom we LOVED!!!! DJ Mac was charismatic, energetic, and just so FUN to be around. He always brought the good energy and we could not be more grateful for him!
We also got the cold sparklers for our dance floor and that REALLY elevated the space!! The photo booth was also INCREDIBLE! Super high quality and we got the digital files of all the pictures after our wedding as well.
Overall an extremely professional company - I highly recommend Second Song!"
