Max made my son’s party ROCK! Max made the entire process easy: from booking to planning to execution. He is an amazing DJ — and more. He gave me advice about the timeline and gifts to keep the kids engaged. Max came with all of the DJ lights and uplights to place around the room, so the room looked alive! Max gave us an opportunity to pick songs we prefer, so we could customize the music to our taste. Everyone danced all night, including the 80+ year olds. The kids were engaged with Max for the entire night, until the absolute end of the party.
HIs setup and breakdown were perfect. I recommend Max for planning and DJ without any hesitation.
The value for the price is outstanding!

Max did an amazing job! I will not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends and family for weddings or any event. If you do not want to stress about music and sound at your event or wedding, Max is the guy to hire.
I felt comfortable with Max from the very beginning. From the very first meeting we instantly knew that our music and sound were going to be in good hands. He is very professional, a great communicator and really fun to speak to. He made sure we knew how he worked and what his style was from the very beginning.
We had a second meeting where we went over the timeline of the wedding. He made suggestions and recommendations which we really appreciate because there are so many things that we didn’t even think about. We entered all our songs (procession, recession, cocktail hour, introductions, first dance, cake cutting, general song requests, and do not play songs, etc.) through an online portal.
At the event, he was on time and dressed for the occasion. He knew exactly what he needed to do without any help from us. Our officiant was mic’ed and ready to go and the background music was playing before I knew it. Our wedding started late due to some guests being late and we had to move around some things on the timeline but Max was able to make everything seamless without much direction from us. The music selection was exactly what we needed. He can feel the mood of the group and get people dancing. He made sure to get our song requests and our guests song requests in.
Max. If you are reading this, thank you so much for your help on our wedding. We will make sure to give you a call the next time we throw a party!

Max was AMAZING!!! I just got married on August 1, 2015 and he was the highlight of my wedding!
If you are like me, you are probably stressing trying to find a DJ, but you have no idea what you are looking for. You read all kinds of Unilocal reviews and you are unsure if the feedback is honest and true. LET ME TELL YOU… This is honest and true… PICK HIM!!!
Some things that made him an amazing DJ for my wedding were:
1. There were people dancing ALL night, from 5pm — 1am (that’s a long time to keep people interested and focused)
2. I had many different age groups (from teens to 90 year olds) and every single person loved the music that was being played.
3. My husband is mexican and I am white. I didn’t know too many latin songs or music to recommend to Max and he reassured me that if anyone requests a song he can download it in minutes and he would play it– I LOVED THIS! It saved me from feeling stressed that I wasn’t/couldn’t embrace my husbands culture as well. He really stepped up and played a mixture of music that was a perfect balance for both cultures. He also took all requests given by my husbands family and played them. It was perfect.
4. He continued to check in with my husband and I to see if we were okay, if we wanted to hear any special songs. He really made us feel like we were in control of our own music (even though he was! And he didn’t need any feedback from us because we were on the dance floor the entire night!!)
5. He is very quick with communication and responding back to emails.
Overall Max was the best choice for us, I am so glad we went with him! I hope you guys do too! Trust me you will NOT be disappointed. And remember the DJ sets the tone of the wedding :) So just go with MAX!!! :)

If you’re thinking about hiring Max– just DO IT! He is a great communicator (quick to respond to emails) and accountable. Someone that you WANT on your team to achive the perfect wedding!
Unfortunately, Max is already booked for my wedding date… in 9 months! This speaks to his great talents as a DJ! He has been so gracious and helpful in recommending other DJs, even sending introductory emails. DJ’ing is clearly his passion but most importantly, this is someone that you would enjoy working with!
Thank you, Max!

Max was amazing!!! He is so easy to talk to and so responsive in email! Our wedding was a hit, we had some music from my culture (Bosnian) and a crazy mix of music my husband and I both love. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the entertainment (my dad even sang!). I would recommend Max to anyone — a truly fun and genuine person and DJ. I don’t think our wedding would’ve been as amazing without him. Thank you so much Max!

Max is awesome. We hired him for our wedding this past weekend and the whole process of working with him was great. A few weeks prior to our wedding, I met with Max in person for about an hour to discuss the format of our wedding, the types of music we’d like to have, and to start thinking of specific songs (recessional, first dance, etc). We worked together with Max to put that music into a timeline outlining the day down to the last detail. We were very specific with the types of music we wanted, down to a list of 30 or so songs for the cocktail hour /​dinner hour, and Max pulled everything together perfectly. In addition to his great work as a DJ, Max was at the venue day-​of and set up well in advance of the first guests arriving. He also had a big part in making sure the event went smoothly, providing some MC work around the toasts, introducing the married couple and first dances, and queueing up the music at exactly the right times during the ceremony.
All of his 5-​star reviews here are very well-​deserved, and I would hire Max again in a heartbeat.

We loved DJ Max!
We hired Max for my son’s Bar Mitzvah last month based on Unilocal reviews and phone conversations, and he rocked the place and really connected with all of the kids. Picture all of the kids (and I mean all, even the non-​dancers) on the floor for a line dance. This is no small feat considering my son is somewhat of a computer geek so he and most of his friends are usually the non-​dancers.
(disclaimer — this is my first Unilocal review so it might be long winded but Max truly deserved the great review)
Here is what made the evening special:
— Max setup a schedule for the what would happen at different times during the party with us and we were able to modify it online to our liking (for example ditching the candle lighting for a slide show).
— The Bar Mitzvah boy (and parents) were able to pick ‘must play’ songs as well as ‘do not play’ songs/​artists. This was really important to my son as Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift were not allowed at the party.
— Max has a high tech system where kids could view/​pick songs on an ipad and he would work them into the set. This got the attention of the more electronics-​savvy kids and helped get the computer geeks interested in the music and dancing (and kept them closer to the dance floor). Max did a good job with the other kids suggesting similar songs to ones they requested that weren’t on the ‘do not play’ list, so no one felt the absence of the songs/​artists that my son did not want played.
— Max met with us before the event at the venue and had great lighting suggestions to keep the kids on the dance floor (dark with lasers is good). Also, he met with my son to get a feel for how my son would react to different party ideas. For example, after the customary Jewish dances we quickly morphed into a conga line with my son happily leading it.
— Max kept the evening on schedule and did a great job entertaining the kids with games while the grownups finished their meal. If there was a choice between 2 games he would ask my son for input to make sure it was a game that my son would enjoy.
— Max is a younger guy who dressed sharp, had high energy, and connected well with the younger and older crowd. He was great at giving positive feedback to people who were getting into it, such as noticing and nodding at kids and grown ups who were singing along, etc., and this helped people feel comfortable and confident getting into the spirit of the party.
— Max recommended that we only get ‘glowing’ giveaway items during the dancing and he was spot on — everyone loved them and it was a super big hit for the younger kids that came. He also made sure that he had enough so that there were constant giveaways.
— The DJ really makes the difference. As the line dance kept rotating to the left, Max kept moving around to always be in front and lead everybody this really helped people feel confident dancing. In contrast, I was at another bar mitzvah with a different DJ who played the same line dance songs. The other DJ just stayed at the front and never moved so people could only see him when they were facing the front of the room. I think this is probably why everyone danced during these songs at my son’s party, but few of the same kids danced to the same songs at the other party.
— Also, as an aside, for anyone else planning this type of event, we had a photobooth that really helped entertain everyone throughout the evening and people took home memorable photostrips in lieu of party favors.
It was a great evening and we will use Max for our future DJ needs. In fact, we have already contacted our synagogue to have DJ Max placed on the approved vendor list so that others can have an equally successful event.

Max is the man!!! We found him through a referral and instantly hit it off when we met. He’s really good with what he does, and he is professional, detail-​oriented, and super easy to work with. He has every song on the planet on his playlist, even all the classical music pieces that we chose for the ceremony. Who shows up just as excited about the event after getting out from a near-​death experience working in Las Vegas? Max did! Apparently he was hit by a drunk driver two weeks prior to our June 29^th wedding. He reassured us everything will go as planned and even got us top-​of-​line speakers the last minute. The sound quality so beautiful and it filled up the whole space — we had our wedding at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco. The banking hall is over 8,000 square feet, with travertine-​lined walls and marble floors.
Max delivered exactly what he promised — arriving early the day of the wedding, made sure everything was set up correctly, did he sound checks carefully. Throughout the night, Max played great music we liked under the general music themes we provided him. He will give you helpful direction and suggestions if you are not sure what to play also. His years of experience makes his tips and knowledge very practical in terms of making sure the flow of the even makes sense logistically, and how to get people onto the dance floor, which was one of our main concerns. But when the party started, we were so surprised to see every one of our guests dancing and having a great time — there was a conga line on the dance floor at one point.
Max will work with you to develop a timeline. He will let you know what to expect, and he has a great website where you can enter your song lists. He is also very helpful if you have special requests for time-​edited versions of a particular song, or for putting a personalized medley together. He really gets your music preference and style because he listens and he picks up on your personalities from meeting with you. We consider Max a friend now after working with him. We respect him tremendously for his passion and dedication he puts toward his work, which is hard to find these days.

I was so nervous about everything running smoothly for my first corporate party! I’d been to events before and knew that the music, whether band or DJ, could make or break the party. I interviewed 3 different DJ’s for my event. I hired Max because he was so thorough and thoughtful in his initial consultation with me; asking me questions that actually helped me detail out my event itinerary. Who knew there was so much too it! :) I’m so glad I went with Max, he showed up early and was on top of everything all the way through the party. He kept everyone dancing, entertained and really made our event just flow effortlessly! I can’t thank him enough for the awesome job he did for my company. He is fun, energetic, extremely professional and has an amazing MC voice that grabs your attention and gets you going. So many people commented on how great the music was… his choice of music for our group was perfect. If you’re having any kind of party and you want great music and someone who cares about the details of your event, have a consultation with Max. He’s great… you’ll have the best party ever!

I recently attended a wedding (See Jelena’s Review) and my review is based on being a guest. As a guest, Max did a great job DJ’ing the wedding. I’ve been to several weddings where the DJ did not have a microphone or they had issues with the microphones and had horrible transitions between songs. He had all the equipment for this outdoor wedding and several microphones. He also has a pleasant MC voice similar to a professional announcers voice. I felt like he was more on top of the schedule for the wedding than the staff was. He kept the vibe going all night and even played some foreign music since majority of the guest were of a foreign nationality. I have actually already recommended him to a few of my friends who are planning their weddings.

Max was the DJ at out wedding this month, and we cannot praise his work and services enough! He has long time experience with DJing, weddings in particular, and really helped everything flow smoothly! He provided suggestions at times, asked what we wanted to do when… really helped me ease my mind to have someone who put so much thought and effort towards our event and his work! He played the songs we requested, and at appropriate times… our guests were dancing their bums off! The atmosphere was lively, and Max selected music choices that went well with our choices, complementing the whole feel… you wont regret hiring Max for your event, and I greatly recommend you at least do a consultation!

We hired DJ Max for my daughter’ Bat Mitzvah last Saturday and three years ago for my oldest daughter. He did an amazing job at keeping the evening energized for 150 guests (100 kids and 50 adults). He coached us really well in advance to prepare for the party. Our guests said they were very impressed at how he could control such a large crowd of teenagers. He was able to strike the perfect balance between giving energy to the evening and letting the event run its own natural course when things were going well. The kids loved him. I would recommend DJ Max any time.

My wife and I hired Max for our wedding this past July and all I can say is WOW!
Prior to the wedding Max met with us multiple times to iron out all the details which included a very detailed time line for our wedding and assistance with song choices so he knew what kind of music we where looking for.
Not only did Max DJ during our reception, but he was the MC as well and has one of the best MC voices out there. Once dinner was over Max got everybody on the dance including my dad who I have NEVER seen dance. Max really understands how to read the crowd and knows what songs to play to keep everybody going and having a great time. Our reception ended up going until 2am and Max just kept going and made sure we all had the time of our lives.
I work in a hotel in downtown San Jose and I see a lot of event DJ’s come into the hotel, but I have never seen anyone as good as Max he is the total package and I recommend him to all of our potential clients.

Great DJ – unconditionally recommended! The DJ for my wife’s 50^th birthday party cancelled and Max stepped in at short notice. He was great! He provided relevant references (who adored him), met with me before the event to review my plans, and made suggestions for improvements that made a lot of sense. On the night of the party he turned up early to set up, and then was a really mellow DJ/​master of ceremonies. Max worked my wife’s music requests into the program very well. A number of people came up to me afterward and complemented the great job Max did. And most importantly, my wife loved what he did.
