My wife and I first saw Carlos at a friends wedding so we were fortunate enough to know we were getting the best DJ/MC for our wedding early June. What we didn't know was how lucky we would be for making that decision. Carlos literally saved our wedding haha.
The day of wedding coordinator we hired completely dropped the ball. I think she was trying to coordinate two weddings the same day (one i the morning and one in the evening) and just wasn't prepared for our wedding after assuring us she was. I'm sure you can image the panic my wife and I were in but out of nowhere, Carlos walked up to me and told me my wedding planner was missing and asked me if he could take over. He practically volunteered to be our wedding coordinator and ran the rest of the night perfectly.
All the great things people are saying about him in other reviews are true. He really knows how to read an audience and had everyone dancing all night (the original reason why we hired him). He's funny, he has charisma and for someone who has DJ'ed weddings for as long as he has, he really brings his A game every time.
Before the wedding my wife and i decided to have our first dance start slow then breakout into a choreographed upbeat dance. We told Carlos we wanted him to pretend his equipment was malfunctioning when it transitioned from the slow song to the upbeat song. Carlos (free of charge) went into a studio and edited the song 4 times for us and sent us multiple versions to pick from. Then when we did the actual dance, he played it out perfectly haha. During the slow part of the dance he walked away from the tent like he was taking a break and when it started to scratch into the upbeat dance song, he rushed back to his tent to pretend to fix it. He had EVERYONE convinced that he messed up and everyone was in complete shock hahaha.... until they saw our choreographed dance of course. Carlos should win an Oscar!
Carlos is the man. If there's anything that you take away from this review, i hope it's the belief that you would be getting someone that genuinely understands how important your wedding is to you. He's got all the talent in the world but what sets him apart is he'll DJ your wedding like you're his family.
I booked Carlos for my wedding on Thursday April 4. Â I booked from Washington so I pretty much went off of reviews. He sent a wedding ceremony and reception planner which was extremely helpful. We communicated mainly through emails and he was very quick to respond to the MANY questions I had. He was very professional and did an AMAZING job. During the reception he kept everyone dancing and we all had a fun time. I highly recommend him. Also if you're doing a destination wedding in Hawaii like I did, book Carlos! He will make your wedding planning much easier.
Review Source:I booked Carlos as our DJ/MC for our wedding this past Saturday. Carlos is amazing! He was very nice and professional, flexible when we wanted to adjust our timeline, helpful when we couldn't figure out why our lanterns weren't coming on, and he kept the party going all night long!
I heard nothing but good things about Carlos and the music from our wedding guests. Everyone enjoyed themselves from my nieces and nephews who loved dancing to "Gangnam Style" to my mother who enjoyed Carlos' mixture of old school jams. Carlos was patient and able to coordinate my entire wedding via email, which was super convenient for myself, since I work 3 jobs and don't have any days off.
Thank you so much, Carlos! You made our wedding a fabulous and memorable one! Mahalo nui loa!!!
