We put a $1000 deposit down for a wedding, which was rescheduled due to COVID. They didn't let us use the majority of the deposit towards the new wedding, which was a year and a half later. Also, after we first booked them, we heard from a few different separate parties in person that they weren't team players, and that if possible we should go with another DJ company. So I guess it panned out in an expected way. We ended up not using them.

We engaged Los Gatos for DJ and Photo Booth services at our recent event in Big Sur. Cassie and Dan were extraordinarily. So professional and so easy to work with. I knew we could count on them to play the music we had requested in advance, and to keep the program and the dancing moving along. It was all so seamlessthe music was great, and guest of honor was thrilled. And the photo booth was a big hit. it seemed hidden away but everyone found it! So glad it was all part of the package. Thank you Los Gatos for all your enthusiasm and flexibility and spiritit was great!

We hired Los Gatos Photo Booth to help our friend celebrate his 60th birthday. What a fabulous addition to the party it turned out to be! Cassie and Dan set up their equipment, installed the custom background that he ordered, and helped each guest pose for their shots. They circulated among the guests encouraging each one to have their picture taken with the birthday boy, just as my friend had wanted. We elected to upgrade our photo strip size to larger portrait sized prints so that we could immediately give every guest a framed photo with our dear friend as a party favor. Then, just a month ago

Dan & Cassie DJed our Wedding and they were amazing!!! They are extremely organized and efficient. I decided on having a DJ last minute for my 20 person wedding in October 2020 (during the Pandemic) and they made it happen! They played an amazing mix of Classic with EDM as I requested!! The venue had noise restriction limits and they were wonderful at playing quietly and completely understood.
They quickly responded to all my messages. The guests were all impressed and everyone did a great job. My Brother in Law even wants to use them for his Wedding! I also added on the PhotoBooth and it was

Due to COVID my fiance and I have had to reschedule our wedding twice because her family lives internationally and we wanted to ensure our loved ones would be able to attend. Cassie and Dan were very flexible and accommodating and have moved with us both times at no additional cost. Rescheduling a wedding twice can be a nightmare, but they were quick to respond and update our contract. We were asked to pay the remaining balance the first time we switched dates, which I believe is reasonable given the chaos of the pandemic. We want to be able to continue to support our vendors during this difficult
