San Jose DJ

What makes Earl different? He knows music. He knows people. He understands music and people and music is a passion — a mighty passion for him. I had a TV show years ago and wanted to use a tune to open the show and could not find the name of the tune so I could get permission. I called Earl; played the tune over the phone and in less than 10 seconds he «named that tune». Earl is class; friendly; intuitive and pro-​active. Earl is at the top of the list; matter of fact, to me, he is by-​far number one. (I was also a magician at an event where Earl was the DJ and I listened to people around me and everyone just continued to praise his song selection !)

Earl is super friendly, accommodating, and awesome to work w/​. He even opened another outlet for payment since my company card would not allow PayPal transactions.
At first I wanted to give him a playlist but I got super busy so I never sent it to him. We talked and I told him what I would like to play and he basically took care of the rest.
I got to Billy Berk’s about 45 minutes prior to the start of our event and he was already set-​up. He came equipped w/​water and I think he had coffee, too. I stopped by a few times to ask him to join us for dinner but he declined.
My GM doesn’t dance. After a few drinks, he was the one dancing and pulling everyone onto the dance floor. I can say that it was a very successful event. Everyone that came had a great time. The music was appropriate and I was glad that I took the dance floor w/​my Operations Manager first. He was the one that hired me a few years ago. I was just a temp. Things are completely different now.
Thank you, Earl.
I will call on him for our next event!

Choosing DJ Earl was one of our first wedding vendor decisions, and we’re definitely glad we choose him. He is professional, organized, and thoughtful. We never had to worry about the music or MC details because we knew we could count on him. As soon as you choose him, he will send you a packet to complete to get to know your music preferences and allow you to customize your wedding song selection. He’s attentive, very responsive to email, and quickly adjusts to any last minute changes you make. Also, he takes pictures at the wedding and sends them to you shortly after the wedding, which is just an added bonus. We would definitely recommend him as a wedding DJ! Thanks Earl!

Im so glad to have Earl to be our dj for our wedding! He is friendly, professional, super organized and calm. During our wedding he was constantly communicating with our photographer, videographer and venue coordinator to keep every in order behind the scene! He knows what songs to play to get the people start dancing.
Ohhh and it was a nice suprise to receive the pictures he took for us during the wedding! They were the first pictures we received after the wedding! Thank you so much Earl!

Earl is definitely one of the best DJ/​MC. We just had our wedding at a Chinese restaurant. If anyone has ever been to a Chinese style reception, you will know how chaotic it can be. Earl was very good at working with my bridal party, very accommodating to all the changes and maintained the pace of the evening. Earl also has very good taste in music. We basically let him choose all the music at our reception and they were all great.
I like how professional Earl is while he is on the job. Overall, I am very happy to have Earl as the DJ for my wedding and would definitely recommend him to other people.

GREAT DJ! We recently had our wedding at Clos LaChance and he was one of the recommended vendors. We are very happy with our decision to go with Earl. Definitely agree with previous reviews– you can trust that he knows what he’s doing since he’s been in business for so many years and he is very professional and ORGANIZED– which is super useful when you got 10 other vendors to manage. He sends you a list of songs so you can mark «definitely play» or «do not play» so that while you can give him free reign of the music. That way, if you don’t want YMCA played on your special night, you can mark it down and not worry about anything else. His timeline was also very useful– and the one I sent to all my vendors to keep everyone on track. He was great with keeping us on track-​meeting with us a month prior– but also open to our last minute changes. Lastly, he mailed us a package of photos after which was super cute– especially since the night is a blur and after you just want as many pics as possible, but usually your photographer will need more time. Very cute touch. Very nice guy and easy to work with!

Earl is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet! I almost wish he was my uncle or something he is so cool and sweet! He met with us to discuss everything before we decided he was the one and our meeting was so great I knew right then I wanted him for our wedding. We decided to go with him that night and we ended up meeting with Earl to pick songs and go over things and he was so helpful and gave great advice. He even made a schedule of events! Wow! I was shocked lol he was a wedding planner too? I trusted him because he has been in the business for years and he did a great job. All of our guests loved him as much as we did. We even asked him to stay an hour later last minute and he did so without hesitation. Most people would ask for payment right then, but he said just get it to me when you can. Almost like he didn’t even expect us to pay him for that extra hour. We put a check in the mail the day we got back from our honeymoon and we had a package waiting for us when we did. Earl had used his own camera to take pictures of us and he printed them out and mailed them to us and even had multiple copies for the fridge and one to frame and one for the desk. Literally the cutest thing ever! It was such a nice gesture since the professional pictures typically take a few weeks. Earl you are a great person and we are honored that you were a part of our day!!!

Earl was amazing! He was the first and only DJ we met with we were so impressed from our first meeting. He is so organized and professional. He kept our day on schedule and the music was perfect. He knew exactly what to play to keep our guests dancing.

BEST DJ ever!!! Very organized and helpful and such a gentleman. I want to thank Earl for making our wedding beautiful, wild, fun, memorable. The music was on point and what music we told him to play he play it, Our family and friends we dance and sing baby. Earl played EDM, Freestyle, Hippop, Salsa, Latin, reggae music it was amazing. I had so many people love the music we played on our wedding day. Thank you Earl so so so much. Love Stephanie and Jose June 28,2014

We had a beautiful wedding in San Martin! One reason was the professionalism of our DJ, Earl. Earl is not a spinner of records though he brought all of our favorites and added many more. The reason you hire Earl is that nothing goes unattended. Earl is on everything from getting the officient set up to taking care of the master of ceremonies role. He is on it all. The behind the scenes activitities were a guarantee that there was no dead space or anything for me, the bride to worry about. There are reasons why you should hire only professionals. This man will make your wedding day flawless.

Earl Joseph was one of the DJ’s we talked to. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. He was awesome, he was very organized person, he responded in emails so fast. He’d mail us his «blue folder» where it consists of all the songs we want to be played on the wedding reception, he also had this trivia games, it was cool! He made it all easy for us. He also took some «stolen shot» pictures of us and the guests during reception and he mailed it to us, it was wonderful to have such person like Earl!
Search is over, hire Earl, he was the best!

Earl did a great job at our wedding! We received many compliments about the music selection and volume. Earl was very professional and flexible when it came to last minute changes before and during the wedding. He also meet with us twice before the wedding, and exchanged emails to discuss the music selection. He also downloaded specific music requests we had from our native countries: France and South-​Africa.
Earl is a great DJ and would highly recommend him!

DJ Earl was great! We just had him as the DJ at our wedding (42 912) and we couldn’t have asked for more. He met with us a couple of times before the wedding and was in frequent contact to ensure that the songs and genre of songs we wanted played were actually played. He provided microphones and portable speakers for our ceremony, and setup a great station inside for the reception. After the dinner, the dance floor was full the rest of the night. Earl did such a great job of feeling out the mood for which dance songs to play, and mixed it well between club songs and slow songs. He even managed to take a bunch of candid photos for us (we didn’t even notice) and gave them to us after the wedding. I would highly recommend Earl to anybody looking to hire a DJ!

Stopped by to wish a great customer of mine all the best at his wedding reception this past Saturday.
There was a huge crowd seated to the right of the banquet hall and a smaller crowd to the left. What was causing the life of the party was this DJ!
Earl did such an excellent job with his song selection and sound quality that I had to do a double take a couple of times in the 20 — 30 minutes I was there to look for the live band that wasn’t there!!!
When either one of my two daughters get married, I will strongly recommend the San Jose DJ as a must see.

I’m telling you, there are no words to express how impressed everyone was with Earl. He was professionally, witty, engaging, and kept the party going incredibly. Earl played all of the songs that we asked for. Everyone was dancing and having a blast. As if that wasn’t enough, he mailed us pictures that he took while playing the music.
Earl is the BEST DJ around. I couldn’t have asked for a better one.
Thank you, Earl, from my husband, myself, and all of our partiers! :-)

My wife and I (still have to get used to saying that) were recently married this past Saturday, Earl Joseph was our DJ of choice for our event. We had considered other DJs prior to deciding on Earl and I feel terrible even giving any other DJ any sort of consideration out of respect for Earl because he couldn’t have executed his services anymore flawlessly than he did on Saturday night.
Over a year ago, we had interviewed Earl to see what he was all about and it was very evident even within the first five minutes of talking with him that he was extremely professional and had a passion for the work that he does. He went over every detail with a fine toothed comb and assured us that he would do an outstanding job.
We selected all of own music and unlike other DJs who may try to guide your music selections or implement some of their own, Earl made sure that our event was truly catered to us. The sound system that he possessed was top-​notch and it was completely complementary to the acoustics of our wedding venue.
Earl also did an amazing job with the MC duties, he was a great facilitator and saw to it that everything was on schedule. You most certainly are the BEST DJ EVER as another posted so eloquently stated. You deserve all of the accolades that you have received and will continue to receive. Thank you so much for the best night I’ve ever had in my life!

Our wedding was this past weekend and we hired Earl as our DJ. We could not be happier with his performance! More importantly, he made everything so easy! The whole night people were complimenting us on the music, which is a testament to his ear for classy and tasteful music, since he chose most of the songs (after we had guided him with a few selections of our own). Also, he organized our entire evening into a simple schedule of events that all of the other vendors followed. Our big night went off without a hitch, and it was because of his organization.
Without him, our wedding planning would have been a nightmare! With him, he made us feel as though planning a wedding was actually pretty easy.
Also, our photographer, Charles Le, who does tons of weddings every year, said that Earl is his favorite DJ to work with. He said that Earl was the best he had ever seen with regard to setting the proper mood, controlling the flow of the evening, and getting even the most boring crowds to participate in the fun. I totally agree and highly recommend Earl for any occasion!

Dear Earl,
Mark and I would like to thank you so much for helping make our wedding day amazing and perfect. It was beautiful and we loved every second of the day. The day would not have been as wonderful without the time and effort you put into it.
The number of times we have heard «Best Wedding Ever» from all the guests is crazy! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and had such a great time on the dance floor. And the music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, our entry into the room and during the garter/​bouquet toss was very memorable and your choice of songs was perfect!
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing such a perfect job! It was great to meet you and to share this special time in our lives with you!
Take care,
Mark and Erin Foden

check out everyone on the dance floor:

Earl, your the BEST! you pronounced everyones names sooooo clearly and we loved how you helped make our special day perfect :)
Thank you very much for everything you did and I hope you continue to make peoples special events amazing the way you did ours.

Earl at San Jose DJ lended his services at our wedding and we were truly impressed! He is great at getting a good feel of what kind of music you would like to be played and the sort of tone you would like your reception to convey. He had almost ALL of our guests on the dance floor having an amazing time! He also provided mini-​coordinating services, designed a timeline of the reception, and provided that timeline to our guests with their place settings at no extra charge. He was affordable and went the extra mile with everything. He even sent us an unexpected set of photographs in the mail that he had taken!
I cannot rave enough. Give Earl a call!
