We had Sterling productions DJ our wedding. When we first booked I was doubled charged on the deposit, Which I had to reach out and have refunded. They informed me they have been having issues with their website. Not a huge deal but definitely an inconvenience. The reason I'm giving them a 1 star review was because of our specific Dj Jason. For our wedding we provided a timeline of the songs we wanted played for the ceremony, reception, grand entrance, first dances etc.
The ceremony went fine but the reception was a mess. He played the wrong song for my wife and my grand entrance even though we told him specifically what to do minutes before. We had a conversation with him about not doing a mother son dance because my mother is disabled and he announced it anyways then followed it with 4 minutes of dead awkward silence which made my mother extremely uncomfortable.
We told him we don't like top 40's music and to stick with oldies and classics and he proceeded to play top 40's and electro remixes all night. After speaking with my guests, post wedding I found out that he also didn't play any of my guests song requests which leads me to believe he was just playing off a playlist. Very disappointing. The first and last time I will use this company.

The DJ really can make or break your wedding, in our opinion. Mark made this wedding a party. He was super easy to work with us through the entire process and came HIGHLY recommended from the venue. We worked with him and their site to build out the playlist needed for the ceremony, entrances, and reception. Working with him, we also decided to add a lighting package which transformed the venue perfectly.
We just had a youtube video of the song we wanted for our ceremony, and he managed to find a play it without any issues. All our must-play pieces made it to the wedding, including the Aggie War Hymn (not something we typically see outside Texas). As the MC, he kept things light and moving without feeling rushed through any particular spots. During our Mother/Son dances, he watched as we gave cues on when to end the song, which helped with my mom's mobility issues.
After dinner, the venue transformed into the best dance hall/club you could have imagined. The music was perfect. There was no single second that the dance floor wasn't packed with the ideal selection to keep it going. Our music tastes are also super random, but it all worked. I wish I could have gotten the complete set written down to recreate it. We can't thank Mark and Sterling enough for making the event that much better!

12- 9 -20 21, we had Sterling Productions as our DJ, and lighting tech. They did the most epic lighting I've ever seen for a wedding! Mark and Steve were so easy to work with. They were innovative with their ideas and so creative with what they came up with for the lighting, it completely transformed our space into a magical place for our wedding day.
We also had their cold Sparks and dry ice fog and it was epic! Mark did all of our DJ services for the day and he is amazing at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ or lighting for their wedding. We cannot go wrong with this choice. I'd give him 10 stars if that was an option!

It really pains me to write a somewhat negative review because I really wanted to love my experience as much as everyone else did. We had DJ Jason Bee assigned to our wedding. He's very professional and welcoming and we had no problems communicating with him via email. However during the reception, it seemed like he never looked at the portal with all the details that we asked for.
I asked for two different songs to be played at the bouquet toss one during and one right after. The song after the bouquet toss never happened. I also requested a song to be dedicated to my mom and I kept waiting for it to be played it didn't until I personally had to go up to him and ask, even then he seemed a bit confused as to what I was talking about which gives me the feeling that he just never looked at the details until the day of the wedding if ever.
Last but not least, I made sure I email him before the wedding to explain how our first dance song should be played (from the beginning of the song) because we had paid $800 in dance lessons and the song should be played from the beginning so it matched the choreographed dance exactly. Unfortunately, DJ Jason Bee played it 7 seconds into the song which threw off our whole choreographed dance and $800 down the drain.
In the middle of the dance we could not understand what went wrong as we were sure to practice our dance over and over again. It wasn't until I looked back at the videos when I realized he didn't play our song from the beginning. I just want to note that no matter how easygoing a couple may be, their wedding is the biggest and most important day of their lives, the little details can make or break someone's wedding! Hope this helps future couples. Other than that, our wedding day was absolutely beautiful.

What can I say about Mark and his skills! When looking for a DJ for my daughters wedding - I knew we needed the best because the music is the most important thing in a reception! I took the venues advice and it was the best thing I could have done! Mark was incredible to work with - did all we asked and then some! Knew the venue - the lighting and the organizational flow to make this the best night ever! Do not hesitate and or read any further - your choice is made! Call him NOW! Thank you Mark for everything!

Mark dj'd our wedding at Callaway Winery on 11/9. We had the best time. I've been to many weddings where you couldn't hear the ceremony but our music and mics were perfect. Everyone could hear so well. The reception was a blast! He did an amazing job with our music choices and the selection he added. Thank you! Love the Gunters

Mark was our DJ for our wedding on 10/5/19 at Mount Palomar Winery, and he helped make our day absolutely perfect! He is phenomenal and so knowledgeable. He was so prepared and on top of everything throughout the process- he completely put me at ease with his professionalism and kindness. He answered every email promptly and even called me a few days before the big day to make sure he had the proper pronunciation of everyone's name in the wedding party, which was such a nice touch.
He also custom mixed one of our ceremony songs per my request! SO many of our guests commented on how much fun the dance floor was- everyone absolutely loved the mix of classic, country, pop, and house songs! He created such a great vibe that everyone wanted to keep dancing even after the party was over. I wish I could relive that night over and over again! I would highly recommend Sterling Productions- they made our day spectacular! Thanks again Mark! You're the best!

Still dancing in the afterglow of what can only be described as epic, amazing perfect wedding! We are still having people tell us it's the best wedding they have ever been to! One of top reasons. our DJ! Played every genre, hit everything in our requests and even took more while there even if he had to download ones on the spit ones that were new! Our dance floor was always full! Mark is genius in his art. Definitely a champion vendor! Will now look for parties to have just to book him!

Mark was our DJ for our wedding at Callaway Winery. We could not have asked for anyone better. He listened to us and took our requests and added his own mix and made it the best night of our life! He was very professional and friendly and the equipment and sound were high quality. He was great to work with and made everything so easy we had nothing to worry about and just enjoyed our night.

Miguel helped make the best day of our lives even better! It seemed as though he was in our minds and played every single song we love! He listened to all of our desires and brought them to life. The uplighting was gorgeous too. Such an amazing DJ! The only thing our guests said they would change about our wedding: they wanted at least two more hours to dance!
The attention to details, my guests, and most importantly my husband and myself was just impeccable. Mark was also a huge help with song suggestions throughout our planning process. If you are looking for the best of the best for your wedding choose Sterling!

We love Mark and his team! He was absolutely amazing to work with! He was the first vendor I booked for my wedding (aside from the venue) and it was the best decision I could have made. He was so attentive with our meetings and so personalized. He made such great suggestions as well which I like because I love all sorts of music but needed help to compartmentalize my list but also went with our vibe.
I also really wanted a live violinist and he was able to make that happen! Instead of saying no, he was super open to my crazy ideas. Our violinist was Steve Huber who was also super amazing and helped ya customize our ceremony music as well. Mark was so flexible with me in regards to what I was looking for as I wanted some specific songs to be played.
It was also very important for me to make sure that my guests would have a good time since they are very interactive and he had my entire party dancing until the lights came on which made it extra memorable for me! I had also bought party light sticks and asked if he could throw them out to the crowd for me and he did, which was not a part of the plan but he did it as a nice gesture which meant a lot to me.
He really cared about us and even took a little video clip of us partying it up with our light sticks which nobody else got on their camera (for you brides out there, this becomes GOLD post wedding, cause all you want to do is re-live the moments as much as possible), and he also was able to send us our playlist so we could have it to replay and somewhat re-live our wedding day with his music playlist.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mark and your team for being for catering and for being there for us on our wedding day. You have all of our guests still raving about how great you were! Book with them, you won't be disappointed, they're really awesome and already know their Venues in Temecula too, so it's less for you to worry about! Thank you so much Mark!

Scheduled a phone call with Mark and as soon as we heard his British accent, we were sold! We still have people talking about how cool our DJ was! If you are looking for a DJ who is cool, classy, organized, good at communicating, and who will make the music selection process a breeze. look no further! My husband and I weren't able to meet with Mark in person before the wedding but he made himself available whenever we had questions, and on our wedding day, everything flowed so smoothly and he kept the dance floor going all night! We are SO glad we went with Mark and Sterling Productions for our wedding and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible DJ!

We hired Sterling Production for our wedding in Temecula, CA. Miguel was our DJ, he was AMAZING! He introduced himself as soon as he arrived and played all the good music (Hip Hop and Spanish Music). I was worried at first because I had never booked with Sterling Production, but Miguel did a great job! Payment was easy through the client portal.the portal also allows you to pick music so the DJ knows what style of music to play. I recommend Sterling Productions if your looking for an AMAZING DJ in Temecula. Thank you Miguel!

HUGE thank you to Mark Davies who was not only a great DJ, but such a kind person to work with. He was so laid back and rolled with my "craziness." He even kept the show going flawlessly when he had hurt is back badly just hours before my wedding, and was such a good sport. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!

Sterling Productions is nothing short of amazing. We had our wedding at Leoness Cellars in Temecula, CA. Mark of Sterling productions was one of their preferred vendors-and it is very apparent why. Music and dancing was the top priority of our wedding and we had a wide variety of guests to entertain. We knew we needed Latin music, new hip hop, pop, and old school music to get everyone in our group on their feet.
Mark did and incredible job of seamlessly integrating all genres and ensured everyone stayed on their feet dancing the night away throughout the entire event. There was never a dull moment. The dance floor stayed full and his song choices and transitions were all spot on. He also handled the lighting in the barrel room of our venue and the ceremony music.
The lighting looked stellar to say the least. There is a lot of stress in planning a wedding and every time we spoke with Mark, he put our minds at ease with his professionalism and attention to detail. I would recommend Mark to everyone Mark, you did an amazing job, Lea and I were blown away. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved working with Sterling Productions. Our DJ was Armando and he was incredible. He kept our wedding on schedule and his song selection was great. He really knows how to get everyone involved in the celebration. Armando took time to meet with us at our venue and go over every aspect of our wedding. The uplighting that they used for our reception was beautiful. We loved how the uplighting changed color to the beat of the music during the dancing. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special!

Mark and his team were amazing. My wife and I had an outdoor wedding reception at our home. Mark new exactly what type of music to play to make our special day perfect and to make sure our guest enjoyed themselves. In addition, he went above and beyond by making sure our guest had a great experience and setting up-lights on trees around our property that gave us the look and feel of an expensive hotel or wedding venue. A number of our guest commented on Mark and what an amazing job he did. Thanks Mark.

5 stars, I, legitimately and honestly, can tell you this was the best of the best DJ service in the Temecula and SoCal area. Mark and Miguel, DJ and hosted a very important day for me. I had one sit down with Mark prior to the big day and he saw my vision and even helped add to it and build it even greater with better lighting and flow. When the big day came, it went absolutely flawless due to Mark and Miguel's professionalism.
In addition, I feel that Mark gave me a large amount of discounted pricing for what he provided, including a custom gobo, and high-end lighting package. Miguel, also, was kind enough to do a wedding game for us which I asked for last minute. You will not be disappointed if you book them for any event where a DJ is needed, I guarantee it, you can quote me. Finally, I will freely admit, I used to be a Audio and Visual event coordinator and project manager for 4 years of my life and I can honestly say I couldn't have done any better than Sterling Production, that's saying a lot as I, too, am a perfectionist. Book them no questions asked, they'll exceed your expectations.

You will be in great hands with Sterling Productions. We had the honor of having Miguel DJ our wedding and reception. This was without a doubt the best vendor we chose. Miguel may have a young face but he was so professional and made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted. He kept our day on schedule better then our coordinator. Miguel really knows how to read the crowd and give everyone a fun night! Thank you so much for everything!

Do yourself a favor and book Sterling Productions for your DJ needs. Sterling Productions was one of our venue's preferred vendors, and early on, they came highly recommended. Our coordinator stressed that while we were welcome to always choose our own vendors, the DJ can make or break your wedding if they don't know your venue, etc, and highly suggested using one from their list.
We interviewed a few DJ's, but Mark at Sterling really just put us at ease so we decided to book them. It was a great experience from start to finish and they have a wonderful system in place to select your music and set up your wedding day from start to finish. We got to pick a lot of our own music and Mark was always helpful in answering any questions.
The music he selected to play was awesome too. The day of our wedding, Mark had the dance floor packed the whole night. It was amazing. My husband and I are not dancers at all, and even we were out there for most of the night. Mark even threw in an awesome lighting display for us and the photo booth we booked through Sterling Productions turned out awesome too.
Mark is a huge reason why we will always have such wonderful memories from our wedding. If you're on the fence, or considering booking.do yourself a favor and just do it! You won't regret it and your wedding will be the better for it!

As we planned our wedding one of the most stressful details for me was picking the right DJ. We wanted our reception to be a hit and a lame DJ would be deadly. We looked through Yelp reviews, talked to companies that came with referrals, and ultimately decided on Sterling. Working with Mark was great. He really stood out from the pack with his prompt and courteous follow up.
The online program he uses is terrific, allowing you to take your time figuring out your music on your own time, communicate with your DJ, and make payments all online. Our actual DJ was Devaughn. We could not have asked for anyone better. He was professional, unobtrusive (my highest compliment for any vendor), and gave us exactly what we wanted during our reception.
He had everyone on the floor having a great time! I cannot recommend Sterling, Mark, and Devaughn enough. If you're looking for a DJ at least give them a chance to wow you like they did us!
