Afterburn Productions

Afterburn Productions was fantastic. Christian is super professional and easy to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted musically and was 100% amenable to our music requests for our party. Further, he had great add-ons above and beyond being a DJ (lighting, emcee skills, selfie booth, etc.). Christian also coordinated well with the place we had the event and was on time, ready to go and did a great job reading the dance floor in terms of songs working (or if one happened to not be working). I'd definitely use Afterburn Productions again and highly recommend them.

For anyone who has had a a big wedding, you know that the right DJ makes or breaks the celebration. We contacted Christian after a friend referred us, and we couldn't believe how easy he made the whole process of choosing the right music for every area of our wedding. I was very impressed by the timeline he provided of how the whole wedding would play out and what music would go with each transition.

His timeline was actually more detailed than the timeline the venue provided, all of which put me at ease and made the wedding day not so intimidating. The day of our wedding was spectacular. Christian set up so early and had everything ready to go as the wedding party and guests began arriving. Over and over again, Christian came to my fiance and I asking what he could get for us or help us with.

His experience made him extremely attentive and intuitive to our needs. We used music that was a bit unusual for the ceremony and Christian jumped right on board with this, capturing and playing the best parts of the music that would represent our ceremony. Throughout the rest of the reception he took the types of music we liked and used his artistic creativity to enhance these music styles.

Throughout the night he MC'd and kept the dancing continuously flowing by using different types of music that would attract different types of people. This kept people on the dance floor the whole night. My fiance and I are a little older and in our 40's and did not date long before becoming engaged. Almost everyone at the wedding had never really heard the story of how our relationship turned to marriage so quickly.

My fiance and I wanted to take some time to each speak to the guests about how we met, how we knew it was extra special and unique, and how we knew very quickly that this was "the one". These speeches turned out to be incredibly special and our guests loved hearing each of our stories. Of course when we were in the moment, we didn't get to really know how effective and meaningful the speeches had been.

As a present to us, Christian recorded these speeches and special moments and gave us the audio. My now-husband and I listened to the audio the other night while looking at our wedding pictures. We were amazed at how beautiful our stories had been and how we were able to relive those moments again. I will forever cherish this audio that Christian gave us.

Long story-short, Christian is the best, and most professional DJ I have ever worked with. And our guests agreed with comments such as, "this was the best wedding we have ever been to" and "you guys have an awesome DJ". We wholeheartedly agreed with them that Christian made our wedding perfect.

Christian is amazing. He was more than just our wedding DJ, he was our coordinator, our photographer, our MC, and the man who kept the party going. From our ceremony to our reception, he kept everything moving smoothly without missing a beat, he reminded us to enjoy ourselves and each moment and got everyone involved on the dance floor. We would highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for an event DJ, coordinator, photographer, home renovator, you name it, he does it. Christian has become a friend of our family and we will always support Afterburn Productions!

It was my pleasure to coordinate with Christian. He is very knowledgeable about all types of weddings and has a lot of great advice to give. Not only did he DJ the wedding he also took pictures, created a timeline, brought up lighting and helped with setting up. If it wasn't for all his hard work and knowledge the wedding would have not went so smooth. If you're planning any type of event please contact Afterburn Productions. I promise you will not regret it.

We are so happy that we went with Christian and Afterburn Productions for our wedding DJ! He was very professional, had great taste in music, and was just an overal nice and easy guy to work with. He worked with us to make sure the music was exactly what we wanted for our big day. He came early to set everything up and made sure it was all working properly.

Then he stayed late to keep the party going and the dance floor packed the whole night! It was such an amazing fun night! One my wife and I will never forget. If you choose him for your DJ, I can promise you will not regret it. We even referred him to my wife's sister when they got married shortly after us and he again did an amazing job.

Christian is AWESOME! Not only is he a great DJ but he really knows how to take care of the crowd AND the vendors. He set up these lights around the dance floor and our bar (the photo doesn't do it justice) but when it got dark the entire place was glowing! So much fun working with him. Can't wait to collaborate again!

Christian helped make our wedding and reception amazing. He was organized, thorough and paid attention to detail. He knows what he is doing. He created a detailed timeline for both the ceremony and reception and made sure my vendors had copies. His questions helped guide me through all of the planning so things ran smoothly. He thought of special details that I wouldn't have thought of too.

All of that AND he kept our guests out on the dance floor all night long. What a great party we had and Christian set the tone the whole time. He just went above and beyond for us and our special day!

Christian is the ULTIMATE! He is absolutely the best DJ that we've ever experienced - ANYWHERE! We have used him 3x - for a wedding reception, a huge "Parade of Lights Party", and most recently for my retirement. Despite a wide age range in each of the audiences, he did the impossible - He pleased EVERYONE! His music mixes during cocktails, dinner and for dancing set the perfect tone.

Everyone danced all evening - even people who don't dance! He's extremely skilled, accommodating, polished, and goes above and beyond - exceeding expectations every time. He doesn't make himself the center of attention, but his music makes the event memorable. My guests even ask me, "Are you using the same DJ you had last time? Fantastic! He was great!" Beyond being a great DJ, Christian is also an incredible person- always upbeat, considerate, hard-working and fun to work with. Thanks Christian! Already looking forward to the next time!

Christian is awesome! I needed a DJ for a last minute work event so I googled options/asked friends for referrals. Out of everyone I spoke with, Christian was the most professional and knowledgeable. Without even hearing his music, I was confident he would deliver based solely on our conversation. And he did! His music was great and totally suited our party.

Multiple people came up to me and commented on how great the music was and wanted his info. If you want an awesome and professional DJ who will truly enhance your party, Christian is your guy!

I'd like to start out by saying that overall Christian was an excellent person to work with. I hired Christian to be the DJ for my wedding reception at the Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach. The first thing that stood out about Christian was that he responded to emails and phone calls very quickly and professionally. I vetted about 15 DJ services in my search for a vendor to handle my wedding reception.

Christian was one of only a few who got back to me right away. After our first consultation I knew Christian was going to be the right choice. He's very organized and professional yet very animated with personality (something that you should be looking for in someone you're hiring to entertain a large group of people). Christian offered advice and guidance on what music we should consider for different parts of the reception, but was also very open to unusual musical choices and very enthusiastic about our ideas.

My wife and I hate clubbing and top 40 dance music, but I immediately found confidence in Christian's ability to interpret our musical tastes and apply them to the dance floor. While some might see the prices and think it's on the high end, keep in mind that they are professional prices and that you really do get what you're paying for. Most importantly, as far as wedding events go, Afterburn Productions is not a "DJ farm" and you will not be booked with a stranger you've never met for the day of your event.

Christian handled every aspect of the planning process with us starting from the first consultation all the way up to coordinating the timeline for our reception and finally to the actual day of the event. If you need to book entertainment for a special event and you want to work with someone who is professional, experienced and full of energy I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Afterburn Productions.
