Fog City Entertainment

We used Fog City for our September wedding at the recommendation from our caterer. Mike was fantastic about working with my husband to create a spectacular playlist. He gave us great feedback on our song choices to make sure that the dance floor was packed. We even had one of the catering staff compliment our music choices. I would definitely recommend Fog City to anyone looking for their wedding day entertainment.

DJ Julio Loli did an awesome job as the DJ and emcee for our wedding at Piedmont Community Hall and created the perfect soundtrack for our day.
Julio was extremely professional and helped us secure the more obscure music that my now husband requested for our ceremony entrances. He made sure the reception flowed smoothly through the cocktail hour and into the first dances, our money dance and cake cutting. Our guests loved dancing to his music especially when he switched to Latin music and got all of my husband’s family on the dance floor. So many of our guests asked us where we found such an amazing DJ. One of our flower girls even cried when we had to end the evening since she still wanted to keep dancing!
Also, DJ Sonny from Fog City managed the photo booth. We are so glad we added the photo booth and it made it incredibly easy that Sonny and Julio were from the same company with so much experience working at our venue. Sonny was very personable and even knew the names of our flower girls by the end of the evening. All around, I highly recommend Fog City Entertainment for weddings!

Fog City is awesome! Mike was great with my initial questions and concerns, then set me up with Sonny. Sonny was amazing! Our wedding was perfect thanks to him!

Picking Fog City was probably one of the best choices I made. They provided my DJ, photo booth, and day of coordinator. As it got close to my wedding day, it was clear that having those linked would allow things to go more smoothly since they had all worked together before. Mike, the head of the company even came out of my wedding day to make sure things ran smoothly.
Sonny was my DJ and he was amazing. It’s rare to have a wedding during which the dance floor gets empty for a song or two, but he pulled it off. We gave him a list of songs we liked and he put together a great mix that was reflective of our taste and well suited to keep the party going. Many of our guests told me how great the music was and people didn’t want to leave when the wedding ended.
Stacey was my Day of Coordinator and she was a pleasure to work with. As we talked leading up to the wedding, it was clear that she understood what was and wasn’t important to me. That allowed me to truly enjoy my wedding day because I knew she would make sure that the wedding I had envisioned became reality. It all went off much more smoothly than I expected and I have Stacey to thank for that.

Mike DJ’d our wedding this past memorial day and he was amazing! He made himself available by phone or email to discuss the particulars for the wedding right after we hired him months before the wedding. I loved the website, where we could chose which songs to play for the special moments in the ceremony/​reception (processional music, intro music, first dance, etc.) He also let me chose all the music for the cocktail hour/​dinner and I easily was able to send him all the mp3s via dropbox. He nailed all the music cues and abridged the songs for the first dances just as I requested! Also he worked very well with our wedding coordinator. And he made the dance floor GO OFF! Everybody commented on how great the DJ was. And all for a very reasonable price. You need to hire these guys for your wedding!

Mike was the DJ for our June 14^th wedding at the Villagio in Yountville, and he was fabulous! Love that you can customize your song list with jams you want to hear and also ones you’d prefer to not hear! Our first dance, father-​daughter dance and mother-​son dance were all edited to be shorter and Mike had no problem accommodating. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I’d recommend him 100 times over. Thank you, Mike!

Fog City and DJ Sunny took care of the music for our wedding reception at the SF Zoo. We had a great experience both in getting ready for the event and at the reception itself.
Fog City has a client website that walked us through possible events at a wedding and what song (s) we might want to have played, e.g. first dance. They also had an impressive library of songs.
We chose a starting set of songs but we trusted DJ Sunny to read the crowd and mix additional songs to fit the mood. And he did a great job. Everyone had a great time.
DJ Sunny was punctual and well-​prepared. All the equipment was setup and music was playing well before the first guests arrived. Sunny also took care of making the announcements for us, having the microphones all ready & tuned for toasts, etc. The logistics went very smoothly.
We enjoyed working with DJ Sunny and would definitely consider Fog City for any future events.

Mike from Fog City Entertainment was the DJ for our wedding just a couple weekends ago. Having a good DJ was important to us, because in our experience, the DJ is often what keeps things moving a long at the wedding, and keeps the energy level and excitement up. We were really pleased.
We decided to work with Fog City on the recommendation of a close friend, and it was definitely the right move. I was really impressed at the system they have in place for getting everything you want out of your wedding, especially the online playlist selection.
On the day of, Mike had a really good feel for what my wife and I wanted, right down to the cinematic timing of certain moments with the music we selected. There were definitely details we forgot to include before the big day, and they turned out not to be a problem at all. We’ll be recommending Fog City to our engaged friends getting married in the Bay Area.

I had a wedding at The Gardens at Heather Farms with Mike with about 150 people.
He was OUTSTANDING! He exceeded our expectations, and the wedding ran so smoothly! My dad played a song for me at my wedding and he worked well with my dad to make sure he was ready and had the right equipment. He took the time out to meet with my (now husband) and I before we hired him. Mike was professional, and played the right music for the crowd. He really knew how to transition things and was just a joy to have at the wedding. We appreciated that he did our music/​microphones last minute for our ceremony. There were much more people on the dance floor than I even expected and it was thanks to Mike! He responds very quick to emails and is reliable with a great personality, I highly recommend him for a wedding or any event!

Fog City Entertainment, especially Mike Santillan, was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. My fiancé and I researched and interviewed several DJs. Fog City Entertainment was hands down the most responsive, thorough, and organized. We also appreciated that Fog City offered ceremony musicians, as it was wonderful to have all music coordinated through one vendor. Mike truly worked magic with our playlist and ordered our «must play» songs in such a way as to keep guests dancing all night long. He also played a lovely selection of jazz songs during dinner, which were arranged from oldest to newest; the guests recognized the chronology and appreciated the thought that went into the playlist. We can’t recommend Fog City and Mike highly enough!

Mike DJ’d our wedding last year in Oakland. He did a fantastic job before and during the whole celebration. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we communicated with Mike and planned every detail of his services. The day of the wedding he did everything we discussed and coordinated well with our other service providers. He even perfectly pronounced some difficult names during the introductions. I highly recommend Mike and Fog City Entertainment.

Mike Santillan from Fog City Entertainment was the DJ at my daughter’s wedding last week. It was such a pleasure to deal with a professional like Mike. He was extremely helpful during the planning of the party months before to insure that all of the details would be fantastic. In addition to being a great DJ and Master of Ceremonies, He provided additonal lighting for the ballroom as well as the dance floor.
I received many compliments since that night from my freinds and relatives about the music selection and the quality of the sound.
If you are looking for a professional to guarantee that your party, or wedding, will be a hugh success, I recommend Mike and Fog City Entertainment.

We had the pleasure of working with Sonny as our wedding DJ. Boy does he know how to keep a party going! We had 3 and a half hours of dancing, and the floor was full the entire time. We selected some special songs we wanted to hear but didn’t have time to give Sonny any more direction — but he totally nailed it! He somehow picked tunes that had our friends and the grandparents dancing, all at the same time. I loved his play list and wish I could go back to re-​live our wedding night and dance the night away.
Sonny was also incredibly prepared and punctual — we were getting married at a remote outdoor venue in Bodega Bay, and Sonny handled everything regarding sound. He made sure we had a mic and speakers for our ceremony, mic and speakers for the toasts, and wedding music that was a perfect volume for the space. One of the best parts was that he was on the ball and coordinated directly with our venue when I was too busy to get involved. I planned our wedding from across the country (I live in NYC), and Sonny made it really easy to coordinate in advance.
He’s also incredibly nice and thoughtful. I didn’t realize before our wedding day how much time you spend talking to vendors during the event — they help show you where to go, give you what you need when you need it, etc. And it made all the difference that Sonny was so friendly and warm. He even sent us a sweet thank you note and set of pics after the wedding — he went around and photographed lots of the little details we’d set up because he thought we might not get a chance to see them ourselves. How awesome!
I would work with Sonny again in a heartbeat and recommend him to any bride (or anyone in need of a DJ!).

Mike with Fog City Entertainment provided all of our sound and all of our music for our wonderful wedding this summer. He was a breeze to work with from the beginning until the end. My husband’s sister officiated our wedding and we planned our own ceremony so we wanted to make sure it went well and felt a little nervous about getting it all right. I’m glad we hired Fog City because during the ceremony he did a great job to help improve the sound and avoid any distracting wind sounds that might pop up. During the cocktail hour he was able to craft a lovely playlist from just a few songs we gave him as examples. During toasts he very nicely made sure they all happened on time. And — perhaps most importantly — the dance floor was totally packed during the open dancing at the end of the wedding! He was very nice, very professional, and would recommend him to my friends.

We got to have Fog City Entertainment work with us for our wedding last month. Mike was our DJ and he was an incredible help even 1 ½ years before the wedding, when I had first booked him after hearing awesome things about Mike and his company. He met up with me and helped me to shape some of my early ideas about what I wanted for my wedding and throughout the entire planning process, he was always an amazing resource for advice, input, and also contacts for other wedding professionals that he’s worked with.
My husband and I were able to select our music and themes online on his website form, and it was really easy to find just about any song we could think of to play, or to ban! I picked a pretty unconventional classical piece to play as I walked down the aisle and wanted a very particular version– Mike was able to find it and played exactly the part that I had in mind. On the day of the wedding, Mike was in charge of our timeline and was able to roll with last minute changes, delays, curveballs and all the random hiccups that happen during a wedding and was able to pull off an evening that looked flawless and smooth.
Mike is extremely professional and skilled at what he does and we’re hoping we’ll get Fog City Entertainment for more celebrations in the future! :)

Mike Stanillan with Fog City Entertainment was the DJ at our SF Zoo wedding in Dec 2012. He did a great job and helped create what was a perfect night.
From very little info that we gave him, Mike played just what we wanted to hear and had just the right amount of talking to usher along the night.
Prior to the wedding, setting details, song lists, and etc was very easy. Mike got the contract set quickly. He also sent some very helpful lists and forms so we could easily describe the type of music we wanted and detail the order of events/​keys etc.
I highly recommend using Fog City Entertainment and especially Mike!

We asked Mike to DJ at our wedding and it was one of the best decisions that we made. Mike listened to what we wanted, and you can tell that he takes great pride in what he does. I had so much fun dancing that night, and it was nice that good music was something that I did not have to worry about. It totally made the evening. Even my 92 year old grandmother made it onto the dance floor!

This is a fantastic company in my opinion. Mike was always very quick to respond to my emails, quickly got our contract in place and offered very competitive pricing. Our wedding DJ was Sonny and he was amazing. He was never cheesy or over the top but knew how to keep the crowd entertained. He did a great job announcing my wedding party and all of the different events. He played all of the music we requested and also took cues from the crowd. Sonny was nice, professional and did a great job. I would definitely recommend Fog City Entertainment… especially Sonny!

Wedding DJs are weird. We talked to a lot of DJs and many just didn’t fit into the fun/​casual but still tasteful vibe we wanted for our wedding. We probably spent more time picking a DJ than any other vendor (and were sort of amazed at how hard it was!)
So when we found Mike we were really grateful. He’s a pro — easy to deal with, confidence-​inspiring and still fun in the way you want a DJ to be. He dealt with all our requests taught us a few things about how our wedding day might flow and listened carefully to understand what was important to us. Also — he’d coincidentally worked with our coordinator before (we selected them separately) and they did a bunch of coordination behind the scenes that made everything seamless.
Just a great experience. We’d recommend Mike and Fog City Entertainment enthusiastically and without reservation.

Fog City supplied our DJ– Sonny– our event coordinator– Hayley– and lighting for the event. We were thrilled with the company overall. They were super easy to work with, communicative and generally wonderful.
Sonny, the DJ, was fantastic– he has great energy and had lots of good ideas for our various special songs (cake cutting, first dance, etc).
Hayley, the wedding coordinator, was equally wonderful. It ended up pouring rain on our wedding day, and we had planned on an outdoor ceremony. Hayley handled the changes with aplomb and everything went extremely smoothly despite the last minute change in venue.
I wasn’t overwhelmed by the lighting, but this was more a function of the event space (Fort Mason’s conference center) and not of the lighting so I don’t fault Fog City on this. And again– overall this company was fabulous to work with and had competitive pricing. 5 stars for the good folks at Fog City!
