Hal (DJ Mendocino) was a terrific DJ with great taste in music and a kind and caring demeanor, he really kept us all laughing and we were even dancing! That's unusual for us! It was a perfect backdrop to the day.

We selected DJ Mendocino for our granddaughter's wedding and it could not have been better. Hal Wagenet was the total professional: Set up a PERFECT sound system, worked carefully and sensitively with the bride and groom selecting songs, and then pulled off a seamless presentation during the event. Some dj's can be obnoxiously present (or even obnoxiously absent) but Hal took all his clues from the bride and groom and the result was a wonderful occasion. Many, many thanks! FIVE STARS!

Eddie is so awesome! He has been our DJ for our school's middle school dances MANY times now. The kids love him and request him to return for each dance. His prices are reasonable, brings an awesome light system, plays age appropriate and popular music, and has fun commentary. It was so easy to coordinate the dates with Eddie. He is quickly responsive by email/telephone. We love Eddie and would HIGHLY recommend him for your next event.

Eddie did an incredible job DJ-ing our 30th year reunion. For a moment I considered bringing an NYC DJ friends out west to do it, but felt Eddie was just as good if not better than any or them. He took my loose guidelines, expanded on them creating a fun, exciting and jamming atmosphere. I'll def be hiring him again for our 35th.
