Function 45

Steve is the man. He is a great DJ and will be kick ass at your event.

We recently had Jeff at Function 45 DJ/​MC our wedding and he did the lighting and photo booth as well. Let me just say it was perfect! Everything went so smoothly thanks to him. All of our guests had such a great time and were so impressed with how smoothly everything went. The photo booth was a huge hit too! I would highly recommend Jeff and Steve at Function 45, they were both very professional and made the whole planning process just that much easier. Thanks guys!

I hired Function 45 for the wedding of my daughter. Steve and his team were awesome!
I am a veteran live sound engineer who is particular about the caliber of sound system components, and about the resulting sound quality. I was picky ahead of time about the loudspeaker models and the microphone, which are the most critical parts. The «Elvis» mic Steve rigged on a wireless stand was perfect. The speakers sounded great. Function 45 delivered all the quality that I expected, which was a lot!
More than that, Steve drove the event forward with appropriate music selections and an understated style of master-​of-​ceremonies patter. He helped make things flow smoothly, even when parts of the wedding and reception did not go as planned. He had musical choices ready for the little ones who were running around, and a «Decades» sequence which got the gray-​haired folks up on the floor to mix with everybody else. Steve kept the focus on bringing two families together in spirited celebration, and it worked.
Steve brought a crew that was efficient in setting up, and professional in demeanor. My daughter was very happy with the photo booth, which was great for keeping the kids occupied, and fun for the adults!
All those who commented to me about the wedding and reception said that Steve was the magic that made the evening so fun. I agree!

Jeff absolutely slayed our wedding! We are still receiving compliments on the job he did! I couldn’t have asked for a better dj! He made the whole planning process so easy and was so nice and easy going. We were planning from out of state and he made himself available by email and was very easy to schedule meetings with when we were in town.
We had to make a few changes to the music and schedule of events during the reception and they were met with understanding and ease. He kept the wedding and reception moving along nicely, which was huge for us!
We got so many compliments on our first dance song that was created for us, and I am so thankful we got a copy to have forever.
I don’t think I could possibly recommend this company enough!

Without a doubt, Steve from Function45 is the BEST MC & DJ out there! I wouldn’t even consider hiring anyone else. The minute I got engaged last year I booked with him right away because I know he is a popular guy. I was at a friend’s wedding, and this is when I saw Steve in action. At my friend’s wedding, Steve was fun (not in a corny way either), entertaining, organized– the night flowed smoothly, and played great music that got everyone dancing. Steve recently did our wedding on Friday, Sept. 18, 2015. First just let me say, the man is FULL of fun, great, and entertaining ideas! The entire reception was awesome! Best night of my life, hands down. Everyone was having fun and loved all of the unique ideas that Steve worked with us on. I had many guests at our wedding say to me how much fun they were having because of Steve. Not only is Steve an awesome DJ and MC, but he’s a blast to work with in months leading up to the wedding. He’s always in good spirits, positive, and is enjoyable to chat with. Steve is very professional & worked his butt off to make our day perfect– from the music at the ceremony, to the fun entertainment and music at the reception. Also, Steve spends a lot of time with you outside of the day of your wedding to plan special things for the reception, and he even drove out to our venue to test the sound and music (since it’s a newer venue). He’s just an all around talented and fun guy! You will not be let down if you hire Steve from Function45.

We had the pleasure of having Steve and his crew DJ our wedding last month. I can not recommend Function45 enough!
We’ve been hearing nothing but the greatest compliments from all of our guests. One of our groomsmen actually booked Steve two days after our wedding for his own wedding next April because they LOVED him. Even at breakfast the next morning, all of our guests were raving about our DJ, and how he knew exactly what music to play to get people dancing !
Your DJ sets the mood for your entire event, and having one as talented as Steve for our wedding ensured that everyone had a blast.
Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our day! You’re amazing

We hired Steve for our wedding and after just celebrating our 2^nd anniversary, we were still thinking about how much we like steve and what a positivity he contributed to our wedding. We danced until the wee hours and Steve kept the energy up. Our pictures show all ages laughing, dancing and enjoying themselves. He knows how to throw in special touches and work within our needs. He made the whole process stress-​free in an otherwise long list of stressful wedding arrangements.

I can’t tell you how many times we heard «a DJ can make or break a wedding». With that in mind, we met with a few and they just weren’t the right fit. We were looking for a fun, NOT cheesy DJ, that knew how to be current but not steal the show. Steve came highly recommended to me by a coworker, and I can see why! We knew Steve was the guy from our initial meeting.
Steve was FANTASTIC to work with. He completely understood what our goal was for the
day — a big, fun, party and he definitely came through! He entertained our guests all evening and kept the dance floor packed.
The BEST part of the whole day was our first dance. Steve has some amazing ideas that will leave your guests in awe! We were so pleased with his service, his talent and his attitude (and so were ALL of our guests).
Thank you Steve! You really helped make our day amazing!

Steve is the BEST! I am a wedding coordinator at a venue in downtown Sacramento and I have the pleasure of working with Steve often! He is one of the DJ’s that I highly recommend to my couples.
WHY u ask? With Steve as a DJ you honestly don’t have to worry about much day off. He is always on top of it! And makes my job so much easier. I totally feel at ease when Steve and I work together, he always makes sure that he is accommodating both the venue and the bride and groom.
When looking for a MC/​DJ for an event it is key that they can keep the party going and can really make the timeline of the event flow! He does just that!
If your looking for a reliable, easy going and a professional DJ you have to book Steve!

My wife and I were thankful to have Steve emcee our wedding. Steve got to know us to make sure our day went perfect. Our families typically don’t dance, but somehow Steve was able get every single person at our Wedding involved and participating in our memorable day. In addition to emceeing the event, Steve supplied up lighting and a photo booth.
If you are having a wedding in an area that Steve services, you would be crazy not to strongly consider him for your event.

Jeff was the DJ for our wedding and he did a really good job. Our guests were entertained and he kept things moving along quite well. The only reason he’s not getting 5 stars is because he got my name wrong when he announced me and my husband to our reception. I can forgive once, but he did it once more. He played it off nicely though and he did such a good job the rest of the night. The games he came up with were laugh-​out-​loud hilarious and the music selection was excellent. Great service, just make sure the little details are ironed out.

Jeff and Steve at Function 45 are awesome! My Wife and I hired Jeff to DJ our wedding and he knocked it out of the park! Professional and easy to work with. Once he figured out our tastes in music he was able to blend in some more popular stuff with our playlist and keep the people out on the dance floor. Jeff gave us a couple of ideas that we were worried would come off as a little cheesy, but in real world application were actually very fun and engaging! He did a trivia game for releasing tables for food that was pretty cool. Plus, he addressed the audience with intelligence and some not hokey DJ shtick. Would recommend to all my family and friends. Top shelf stuff.

We could not have been happier with Steve! We enjoyed working with him in the pre-​meetings and he absolutely ‘got’ our Vision. He even had some great ideas that absolutely improved our wedding (no spoilers — I’ll let him surprise you ;)).
Day-​of he nailed it — he adeptly wrangled the guests as well as the wedding party, served as an adept Master of Ceremonies, kept us on schedule and really got the party going when the dancing started. He juggled our disparate musical requests and had both ‘adults’ and ‘kids’ dancing alongside each other.
After the wedding both our parents (and others) raved about Steve and how he made our event so successful, and we agree!
Thanks, Steve, for being an integral part of our special day!

We are so beyond happy with our choice to hire function 45 as the dj for our wedding. Steve did an amazing job! He was so professional and fun to work with throughout the whole planning process. Our wedding turned out incredible. Steve knew how to keep all of our guests happy and kept everything rolling. We have had so many people tell us how much fun our wedding was and that it’s the best they’ve ever been to. It was amazing!
The cost is totally worth it. I would cut your budget in another area and use this dj! It will be so worth it!

My husband and I were referred to Steve by a friend who had been to a few weddings that he DJ’d. When we met with Steve, we knew he was «the one». What we didn’t know about Steve, was that he was going to completely exceed our expectations. Steve went above and beyond for us, which was completely normal for him. He made our wedding the best party that our guests had ever been to, enhanced our venue with gorgeous uplighting and a monogram, and made it the best night of mine and my husband’s lives. The best part about Function 45 is that Steve is truly a great person and will do anything to make his bride and groom happy. Thank you Steve for EVERYTHING! Xoxo– The Baker’s

Our DJ was AWESOME! We hired Function 45 for our wedding back in October. Everyone was raving about our DJ! The customization for our first dance song is one thing they still talk about. They played songs that our guests of all ages enjoyed. oldies, rap, slow, hip hop, etc! I have referred friends to Function 45 quite a few times now. If you want a good DJ, go with these guys. they do a GREAT job!

Function 45 is the go-​to service for quality party planning. We had a wedding reception compete with a DJ, photo both, and dance provided by them. It was the greatest party I’ve had my life (and not just because I was the groom and it was my wedding day). My wife and I didn’t have to think about what we were going to do next or how to get the party going. There was no lull, and everyone had a great time. It was well organized, not expensive, and I’d hire them again for all my party needs.

Steve is absolutely phenomenal! I cannot put into words what a great job he does. I have a musical background, so technically speaking, he knows his stuff. The sound quality of all the music was top notch, and there were speakers throughout the venue so no matter where my guests were, the could still hear what was going on.
Another thing he did was kept the flow of the wedding going smoothly. There’s nothing worse as a guest than to not know what’s going on, and Steve made sure my guests were informed the entire time. They knew when to be seated, they knew when and where appetizers were at, when the cake cutting was, etc., etc. And the entire time, he played games so there was never a dull moment.
In addition to this, the lighting he provides absolutely sets the mood. He had uplighting throughout my venue that made for such an amazing effect throughout the night. And the lights he has on the dance floor create such a fun environment.
I have to say, however, my absolute favorite thing he did for us was create our first dance. He had my husband and me record messages to each other prior to the wedding that he masterfully incorporated into our first dance. We hadn’t heard each other’s message until that moment, and it had us both in tears. But we weren’t alone. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Everyone shared this special moment with us, and it is a memory I will cherish forever.
I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. If you want the wedding of a lifetime, you HAVE to go with Function 45!

Wow where do I even begin, from the first meeting to the wedding, the DJ Steve and his lovely wife Tanya were amazing and the whole experience was more than I could have ever imagined. I have been to a lot of weddings and the DJ can make or break it.
Steve’s personality and talent, oh and his awesome 50s style microphone was perfect. Everyone at the end of the night was complementing me on how awesome our DJ was.
We also rented their photo booth through them as well which was ran by his wife Tanya. I have been to weddings where it’s ran by kids and it was not very professional. Tanya was very professional and even put our photo book together.
I can honestly say they are the sweetest couple we have met through our wedding process and they are in this business not just as a job but because they truly love what they do!!! Love them both and they made our wedding even more special!

I originally met Steve in August 2009 at a friends wedding. Nothing is worse than when you hire some $ 300 DJ off Craigslist to spin some iTunes. Steve was a true entertainer– there was never a dull moment and he was great.
He was soooo good, my wife and I hired him. We had several meetings with him so he could get to know us and we could work out various options. We ordered a photo booth from him which was great so we didn’t have to go thru someone else.
There are two things I’m particular I loved about Steve. First, he did this awesome voice over for our first dance. My wife and I independently would record what we thing about each other. Steve took lines from that and dubbed it over perfectly for our first dance. Secondly, I got married in a location which did not permit DJs I’m the dining area. Had we listened, we would have lost out on the introduction and decent mucks during the eating. Steve basically did what he should– took the clients side and just set up speakers anyway.
Over the years, Steve has checked in with us. I definitely plan on hiring him for my next wedding! (Just don’t tell my current wife)
