We hired DJ Leon Lee (aka DJ Leon de La $co) for our wedding in the SD area and bottom line: he did a fantastic job.

While planning the wedding, we'd read advice from a wedding planner to invest in the right DJ as a top priority, since music is a powerful yet often overlooked way to create the right atmosphere throughout the day. I'm really glad we took that advice!

We chose Leon because he mentioned in his bio something along the lines of really enjoying mixing genres to create a fun and dynamic setlist. This really hit home for us since we love a bunch of different genres, from oldies to K-pop to Y2K throwbacks to Reggaeton & more. During the planning session, we knew we were in good hands because he picked up on our preferences quickly while being very collaborative, offering his expertise when called for.

The ceremony music brought on lots of tears & emotion, the music throughout dinner/cocktails made everyone feel upbeat and lively, and it all flowed seamlessly without any hiccups. Apparently there was one little electrical mishap from the venue (not Vox's fault) but Leon ran over to resolve it quickly to keep the party going. I didn't even notice at all until a few people mentioned it after.

The dancing was EPIC. During and after the event, I had a ton of people come up to me to praise his DJing and ask us who he was / where we found him. We gave him a direction for songs and genres, but gave him a lot of wiggle room on songs/flow/timing, telling him to use his discretion to switch it up if the party seemed like it was slowing down. He absolutely killed it - the party never slowed down! I somehow ended up with a mic toward the end of the night and shouted "give it up for DJ Leon!!" to which everyone in the venue started screaming and cheering. My friends warmed up to him so much that a few of them even dragged him onto the dance floor to join us for a song or two (sorry Leon, they're too much sometimes lol). In all, I think we all danced for ~3 hours, and there was never a moment when the dance floor was empty - exactly what I was hoping for!

While there is so much that goes into creating a fun and joyous atmosphere for your wedding, having a professional DJ who can expertly set the tone is a core tool to really elevate the moments throughout your day. DJ Leon delivered 100/10 on this for us, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with him!
