X-Generation Entertainment

I cannot give enough praise to the talented Hieu for the amazing job at our wedding!!! Having a rock-​star MC for our wedding was imperative to me and I knew Hieu was the man for the job. We were lucky enough to have Hieu direct and entertain our guest throughout the night; he has a charming and charismatic nature about him that was magnetic and created an atmosphere that was fun, lighthearted and entertaining. Hieu far exceeded our expectations in how he commanded a 185 guest banquet with ease and professionalism. He also made sure everything stayed on time, according to the timeline. (the bride and groom always lose track of time so it was important to have someone on top if this) Hieu is very fluent in both English and Vietnamese so I appreciated that some of our guest could keep up with what was going on with his translations. I also hired a Mandarin speaking MC and they both worked seamlessly together even though they have never worked together before! I give Hieu my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a super-​star MC! Thank you for everything Hieu!

I booked Hieu for my wedding on 6÷6÷15. Hieu is talented and most people will agree he is one of the best wedding MCs in San Jose. He is very fluent in both English and Vietnamese, and his style is very professional. I received good comments from family members and friends after the wedding. I’ve recommended him to many others in the past and will continue do to so in the future.

Anh Hieu is awesooooome! I was able to book him a year in advance before my wedding for lighting and MC/​DJ. His English is clear so my side of the family can understand, and his Vietnamese is fluent for my hubs side. He has a detailed website that creates a timeline and playlist for your wedding which keeps us on track and smooth sailing during the reception. He’s high tech, I can send him my remix via text and have it playing crystal clear on my wedding day. All his lights are LED wireless and his DJ skills is excellent with good music playing all night. He controls the lighting to change the mood throughout the evening with an iPad which is super cool! I have seen him at a few of my friends wedding so I already knew I picked the right MC for us! Everything was perfect! Thanks so much for your hard work on our special day!

We have seen this amazing DJ/​MC at a past wedding this year. Hieu is the owner and we had a chance to talk briefly with him. I believe that day he was working with Lightbulb Videography and they also said good things about Hieu. He is very professional and knows what he’s doing. Great job on the wedding back in May! Thumbs up!

Very Late Post! But I feel like I should still write it.
We feel we were very fortunate to have booked Hieu for our Wedding on Nov. 29 2014. I only had to worry about Music and Alcohol, while my wife managed all the other vendors. I procrastinated and waited till mid September to begin looking for a DJ for the wedding. It didn’t become apparent how lucky I was to book Hieu until we met and he showed us his calendar which was solidly booked all the way through 2015 and early 2016. I lucked out and our date was previously booked but was canceled when I contacted him.
We were only originally going to book Hieu for DJ services, but after speaking with him we were sold on obtaining the whole package (DJ, MC, Lighting). We cancelled our previously booked MC and took out the event lighting from the decorator contract, to go with Hieu.
Our Parents had heard of Hieu and when we told them we were trying to book him and cancel the our previously booked MC, they were more than okay with it, they were happy we were able to book him. They had heard of Hieu from his time working on Vietnamese Radio. His English and Vietnamese was very good.
The setup leading up to the wedding day was easy too. We worked with him to create our timeline and we met several times to ensure it went smoothly, or as smoothly as any planned event can go.
He provided music for our ceremony at the ranch golf club (extra $ since its a second location), and it was raining hard in the morning. We had a huge downpour around 5−7AM, and it was light showers from then on, and I just remember our guests complaining that we were seating them out in the rain which was a nightmare. As I was standing there with the golf club coordinator, Hieu was signaling me to go for it and keep it in the rain, and so we did. As we all made the guests get in their seats, the rain stopped, and the sun came out. During the ceremony, it almost had a ray of light poke through the clouds.
His event lighting (uplighting, ceiling GOGOs,) was truly amazing. We were wowed by it as it could. The lighting would be coordinated with the agenda and music, and dim as necessary or be bright for speeches. I would highly recommend this feature. It created an ambiance that regular single color lights can’t give.
All in all, it was pleasant to work with him and he did a fantastic job!!!

Hieu was wonderful! We booked him well in advance (I think a year and a half prior) because he really is that popular. Our wedding party had a good mix of young adults and older folk, and half spoke only Vietnamese. Hieu was so smooth, charismatic, and professional. He knew how to cater not only to the bride and groom, but also to the crowd. Everyone loved his style, and he has such a smooth voice. He kept the entire party entertained and played a diverse set of music. He also handles hiccups with ease. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about him. Our only regret was not having him sing! We completely forgot to request a few songs, but that guy has skills.
As if that wasn’t enough, Hieu does more than just DJ/​MC. His lighting is AMAZING. The best in the business. Hieu’s equipment is all wireless, meaning you’re not getting any ugly cables running around the floor of your venue. He controls everything from his iPad or laptop. And just from our initial meeting we could sense the passion he has for his work. Lighting isn’t something most brides and grooms think about, but it completely transforms a venue. The lighting was dynamic and changed with the mood throughout the night. So beautiful! He also helped us with our wedding timeline and song selections. We were so impressed with everything he did. Seriously, go book Hieu!

If you plan to book Hieu don’t think twice as he’s the best MC in the bay area (and gets booked fast!).
I was so lucky to be able to book Hieu for his services and I cannot say how happy I was. I had seen his work from my best friend’s wedding who booked him the same year as mine. He dresses nice and can speak fluent Vietnamese and English; not to mention he has a good humor. Nothing is worse than having an MC who can’t get the guests to participate or feel welcomed. Hieu is also like a wedding coordinator; he’ll make sure you’re going according to your program so that there aren’t alot of intermission or long awkward breaks. I also rented his wireless lighting and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I didn’t want to drape the restaurant so the lighting gave it a beautiful and romantic setting. I also like to echo what the previous reviewer said about Hieu being serious with his feedback. I gave him some feedback during our meeting and was very pleased of how my wedding turned out. If I could have my wedding again hands down Hieu would be the first person I would book and would move my wedding date if I had to in order to book him. He’s amazing!

I think all the great reviews already mentioned everything that you need to know about Hieu when considering an MC like him:
1. Fluent in both English & Vietnamese (Best in SJ)
2. Funny, professional, and knows how to work it
3. Book early! The man is very popular and busy!
Thank you Hieu for hosting my wedding reception, you made the night run smoothly by making sure we stayed on schedule. My guests were thoroughly entertained!
P. s. Thank you for throwing in the ceiling gobo lighting, you didn’t have to but Huy and I loved every bit of it. We can’t thank you enough for being such a cool vendor to work with. You definitely made our night! We got so lucky and feel blessed that we were able to book you last minute! :)

Hieu was the DJ/​MC for my wedding and he did a fantastic job. All of our guests had a blast and he was the reason why. He had a great music collection and was very entertaining. He was always available whenever we had questions and suggested so many great ideas that really made it a great party. He far exceeded my expectations of a DJ. He is fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so both my Vietnamese guests and non-​Vietnamese guests were able to enjoy the performance. Many of my guests raved about Hieu and tried to book him for their events. Book him early, his calendar fills up fast! I was lucky that I was able to be in contact with him because in the interim of our meeting to officially sign the contract, someone else requested the same date.

There are just a few options in the Bay Area if you are looking for a bilingual (Viet/​Engish) DJ. But really — There is only ONE option. X-​Generation Entertainment, lead by Hieu, is the best you can get for your money. He is helpful, he has good ideas, and above all, he is a true performer. He keeps the crowd engaged with his personality and energy and he is extremely professional. Hieu, in the haze of my wedding in July, I’m not sure if I was able to properly thank you, but you are the absolute best. I would recommend Hieu for any event.

I recently got married, and only searched for this who are 5-​star rated, and I’m soo glad I did, because I met Hieu and was able to book him for our wedding. He always seize to amaze me with his tech savvy skills! All of his booking, and confirmation was via iPad which made it so much easier for me. I met with him twice, and he was so accommodating and really listened to what I wanted for our wedding. Usually, you know the character of a person when they try to sell you more than what you really need. I had about 40 tables, and I thought I needed 6 – 7 speakers around the room, BUT Hieu gave me his professional advice, and said that I only needed 5. That’s what’s great about him! Others, would probably encourage — because it meant more money for them. On top of booking his DJ & Emcee services, I also booked lighting which made the reception even more beautiful. He let us choose the colors, while he operates on his iPad, how amazing is that! Come around wedding day, he was an absolute HIT! He translated in both English & Vietnamese, and was soo funny. They say at a wedding, one of the important things is the DJ, and we’re happy to say — we had one of the best DJ’s out there in San Jose. I’m so grateful to have met Hieu & his team. :)

Hieu is as good as it gets. He’s a great MC and DJ. He speaks both Vietnamese and English. He has great equipment and the light show that he has is phenomenal.
I’ve been to several events where he has been the DJ and he is just absolutely awesome. I’m planning a party for February, and he’s my choice! Five stars, this company rocks!

Hieu was our MC/​DJ for our wedding as well as his new released service, lighting! Hieu was also recommended by our wedding coordinator, My-​Dung. She was right! He was the best bilingual MC out there servicing the Bay Area. Not only his English was on par, but his Vietnamese was as well. Hieu made everything very easy for us with his fill out form he provides to his clients once booked. We met up with Hieu multiple times throughout the year discussing our wedding and providing him with any updates we may had. Hieu provided exceptional sound for our ceremony and reception at The Ranch Golf Club.
Hieu has just upgraded his equipment, so you know you will have nothing but the best sound quaility and DJing services if you book him. All his equipment is top notch and wireless. He can handle just about any size wedding out there with his equipment. On top of his DJ/​MC equipment, he has now just started his lighting services for weddings. His lighting services exceeded our expectations for our wedding. His lighting equipment is nothing but the best and really made our wedding really pop! All his lighting equipment is also wireless and can be controlled with one receiver on the fly. I don’t think anyone has any kind of lighting services that he provides.
Overall, we are exceptionally happy with our wedding and Hieu definitely exceeded our expectations. If we can do it again, we would definitely book Hieu all over again. We will definitely have no hesitation in referring Hieu to our friends and family. He is a must and he gets booked really fast, so I recommend booking him immediately if you need MC/​DJ/​Lighting services for your event.

Hieu was the MC for our wedding and everyone absolutely loved him. He’s quick on his feet, his English and Vietnamese was on par! and he knows how to have a good time. We would definitely hire him again if needed and recommend him to everyone else! We hired him for our MC and Projector. His Projector is in HD so our slideshow was sharp and crisp! He also does full on DJ’ing and uplighting. Thanks so much Hieu!

Hieu is as good as it gets. He was our MC and DJ just this past Saturday at the Silver Creek Valley Country Club. I am Vietnamese and my husband is Philipino. We wanted someone who was bilingual, who could understand Vietnamese custom, but who could also exude charm and pleasantries with both families without being cheesy. Hieu did very well on both parts. He was also able to select music that was appealing to both families as well as us Americanized kids. We received great feedback from all our guests and we have nothing different to say– he was wonderful and we feel so lucky to have had him on our special day!

Hieu was the MC and DJ for our June wedding. My partner and I wanted to do a bicultural wedding and was determined to find an MC that was fluent in both Vietnamese and English. We found Hieu through Unilocal and are glad that we chose to go with him. At the wedding we found out that Hieu also MC and DJ’d my cousin’s wedding almost 8 years ago!
My partner and I had a very specific way of wanting the reception to be held. We wanted a bicultural atmosphere as opposed to a primarily Vietnamese or western vibe. We wanted classy, no jokes, no games, no frills, or boring as some would say. Hieu delivered the atmosphere and vibe that we wanted and it was received very positively by our friends and family.
After the wedding, we provided Hieu with some feedback and he was very receptive. I appreciate those who genuinely care about their business and will listen to feedback without taking it personally. With that being said, I’d highly recommend Hieu. He is fluent in both Vietnamese/​English, and can definitely deliver whatever kind of atmosphere you’re looking for. He’s also an excellent DJ– everyone loved he music!

I am very happy that I went with Hieu!
Being more Americanized than Vietnamese, I wanted a wedding that blended both cultures well. The music was important because my family LOVES to dance and the DJ had to be Vietnamese since 90 percent of the guests barely spoke English.
He works with you up until the day of your wedding. Very professional, very accommodating, speaks English and Vietnamese fluently, doesn’t talk too much. He has an electronic system that lets you pick out all the songs you want to play at your wedding. You have almost complete control of the playlist and what happens.
At first I was thinking of separating the groups of people with a DJ in the ceremony room and a live band in the main room because I was so scared that there would be this divide. Play too much young people music, the old people leave and vice versa. The real reason I’m giving him 5 stars is because he was able to get EVERYONE out on the dance floor together and I do mean everyone. I specifically requested to have some time for the older generation to dance. That included some Vietnamese music. Soon everyone started joining in, even the young people. Everyone stayed even after the American music came on. It was such a sight to see my 60+ uncle dancing to Usher or something like that.
My goal was for everyone to have fun and I got so many compliments from people of all ages about the music. Hieu was able to help me bring everyone together and dance the night away. I will always be grateful for that.

Hieu was an excellent MC/​DJ at our wedding. He helped us with our scheduling and very details oriented. He worked meticulously with us to make sure all the details worked out before the big date. During the event, Hieu was very eloquent and witty. He kept the evening exciting throughout. The music mix and sound system were very good. He got all the songs that we requested and more. We’d recommend Hieu.

Hieu was the DJ and MC for our 300-​person wedding in San Jose back in January. My husband is Vietnamese American and I’m not, so it was important to us to have a DJ who spoke both English and Vietnamese fluently.
Hieu did a fantastic job, from our initial meeting with him through the event. He was extremely professional and gave us lots of useful information to help us in planning our event. His website was great — he has a ton of music, which was organized in a way that we could find everything easily and share our preferences with him. He also was very willing to get music that he didn’t already have (including a random song from Karate Kid, and Praan song from a YouTube video that we like). Thanks to him, the entire night was fun, smooth, and on-​schedule. He adapted to last-​minute changes and whims of the bride without missing a beat.
Several guests commented on how great our DJ was. Points they mentioned included his extensive karaōke selection, skill at mixing, music choices, and smooth English-​Vietnamese transitions.
His pricing was very competitive, especially considering the high quality of service and sound system. He stayed until the bitter end… around midnight, for no extra charge.

Hugh was a excellent choice as a DJ, MC, and Karaōke service for our Vietnamese American wedding in San Jose. He definitely made it very special, glamorous, and was very professionally dressed. He did our slide show and had the AV equiptment, strobe and party lights and stayed until the end when the restaurant closed at 11pm.
He also has a easy online form to fill out with all the music we wanted. The adults and elders enjoyed the karaōke. The children and younger folks loved dancing to hip hop and top 40 music with dancing lights.
He is VERY well priced so call him if you want to save money and professional services. He speaks both Vietnamese and English and was a wonderful MC.
