Check your date01 · La preocupación · The worry
The one hire you can't redo.
“Will my abuela and my college friends actually dance together?”
“Will the Spanish on the mic feel natural, or like a gimmick?”
“What if the floor goes empty and the night falls flat?”
There are three kinds of bilingual DJs. Most couples don't find out which one they hired until the wedding.
The one-sided set
- Great with Latin music, lost with everything else
- Half the room sits down for half the night
The token Spanish
- Throws in a "¡wepa!" and calls it bilingual
- Mispronounces names in both languages
The one who blends
- Moves between cumbia, reggaetón and Top 40 so nobody sits down
- MCs naturally in English and Spanish
- Knows your traditions and runs them right
02 · Sobre mí · Who you're hiring
Hi, I'm Andrew.
You're planning your first wedding. I've done more than 500 of them in the last five years.
Being Dominican and Mexican, I grew up around different cultures, different music, and families that love to celebrate. That's a big part of what I bring to every wedding.
Being bilingual goes beyond speaking both languages. It's understanding the music, the traditions, and how to bring generations together without anything feeling forced. I want your grandparents to hear something they love, your parents to have their moment, and your friends right there on the floor with them.
That experience is what lets you relax and be a guest at your own party.
03 · La música · The music
Mixed live. Never a playlist.
Today's hits and timeless favorites, tailored to your crowd. Gold names are the Latin side of the crate.
Every wedding starts with a conversation about your background, your guests, and what you absolutely don't want played. On the day, I read the room in real time to keep the floor full.
04 · La noche · The night
How your night actually runs.
Every part of your day, and exactly how I handle it. Tap any part to open it.
Antes de la bodaBefore the day
We build the whole night together before it happens. Over our planning sessions we go moment by moment: your entrance songs, your parent dances, and which traditions you're keeping.
I learn every name that matters and how to say it, in English and in Spanish. Your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and the requests your tíos will make whether we plan for them or not. On the day, your only job is to enjoy it.
La ceremoniaThe ceremony
Your guests hear every word, from the front row to the back. I mic your officiant and your vows on a dedicated ceremony system, and I time your processional so the song lands right as you reach the front.
La entradaThe grand entrance
Your introduction sets the tone for the whole night. I announce your wedding party and padrinos in English, Spanish, or both, then bring you in to a song that gets the whole room on its feet before dinner even starts.
Las tradicionesThe traditions
- La víbora de la mar. I set it up, call it on the mic, and launch it when the floor is hot, so it's the moment everyone films.
- El baile del billete · The money dance. I explain it so every guest knows how it works, keep the line moving, and keep the music fun so it never drags.
- The bouquet toss. It opens like a classic. The Wedding March plays, everyone gets in position. Then I flip it into Bad Bunny's "EoO" and the whole room loses it.
Signature momentAsk about the bouquet toss on our call. Couples bring it up in their reviews.
La pistaThe dance floor
Cumbia for your tías, reggaetón for your friends, throwbacks for everyone. I move between them so nobody sits down for long, and when the floor needs a lift, I know which song brings it back.
El finalThe last song
The end of the night gets the same planning as the beginning. Last call, last dance, your send-off: all decided ahead of time, so the night ends on a high instead of with the lights coming on mid-song.

Una nota de Andrew · A note from me
Hey, it's Andrew.
I'm not the right DJ for every couple, and I'd rather say that up front. If music is background noise to you, or you're shopping for the cheapest option, someone else will be a better fit.
But if you want a night where your whole family is on the floor together, where the Spanish on the mic feels like home and the English feels just as natural, that's exactly what I do. Get on a Zoom with me, tell me what you're picturing, and we'll know quickly if we're a match.
Nos vemos pronto. — Andrew
Not the right fit if
- You want the cheapest DJ
- Music is just background
- "Fine" is good enough
A perfect match if
- Your families speak two languages
- You want every generation dancing
- You want someone you can trust to run it

Before you ask.
Investment
Why do you cost more than other DJs?
Because you're hiring 500+ weddings of experience, a bilingual MC who's on the mic all night, and a full day of coverage. Your DJ shapes every minute your guests experience, from the processional to the last song. You only get one chance at that night.
What counts toward our hours?
Hours run from the first song to the last song, continuously. If your ceremony is at a different location, there's a $500 fee for the second setup and the drive between venues.
Bilingual MC
How much English vs. Spanish will you use on the mic?
Whatever fits your crowd. We decide it together in planning. Some couples want every announcement in both languages, others want mostly one with key moments in the other.
Will you pronounce our families' names correctly?
Yes. We go through every name that will be said on the mic during planning, in both languages.
Logistics
What if equipment fails?
I bring backup equipment to every wedding, and everything is tested before your guests arrive.
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry $2,000,000 in liability insurance and send certificates straight to your venue.
Do you travel?
Yes, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Travel details are spelled out in your contract, with no surprises.
Making the decision
We need to talk it over first.
Of course. Book the Zoom call together so you both hear the same answers. Dates are first come, first served, and a date is only held once the retainer is in.
