How about a vintage jazz orchestra? Blue grass band? Or the dopest 80's dance band? Italian accordians? Yup. AMS can recommend live performances to fit your style for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail, and dinner music. Leave the live wedding music logistics to AMS. We'll coordinate contracts, arrival, setup, payment and all that stuff between the venue and musicians.

Emil was outstanding! And outstanding does not even properly do it justice! Emil was professional, polite and receptive. He handled every last minute change in stride and pulled it off to perfection. From our wide variety of music, our must plays, and guest requests, Emil kept a packed dance floor from the first song to the last. Truly, our reception would not have been as great as it was without Emil!

I give Andy and AMS Entertainment the highest possible recommendation. My husband (of two weeks) and I are in our seventies and were married at the Sonoma Mission Inn. Andy was our DJ, and even the Rabbi and her wife said it was the most fun wedding they ever attended.
From my first interaction with AMS through our wedding party, everyone was 100% present and paid keen attention to detail. Because we were mainly playing 50’s and 60’s oldies and goodies, I compiled a list of songs. Francis, the AMS manager, called me numerous times to check versions of songs.

From our first call with Alex I knew he was going to rock it as our DJ. He seemed as excited about getting people on the dance floor as we were and he didn't disappoint. He was on top of everything all evening long and it couldn't have been an anymore enjoyable evening. Thank you Alex and Joe's team at AMS for an amazing wedding celebration.

Thank you DJ Alex!!! We had our wedding a few weeks back, there was unanticipated rain and DJ Alex handled everything perfectly. He did pre-ceremony music, ceremony music (with our requested song mashups), cocktail hour and reception. We provided a genre style for preceremony and cocktail hour. We provided a list for the reception and he was able to work with our music which was in a different language. Everything was festive and wonderful!

AMS Entertainment was amazing to work with for our wedding. We had to postpone from last year due to covid and they were really easy to work with through the rescheduling mess. We got Alex as our DJ and he was awesome! He helped us iron out a lot of our logistics (that helped our planner, too) a couple weeks before the wedding and on the day he was flawless. I didn't change my last name and it was important to me that the DJ didn't introduce us as Mr. & Mrs. "husband's name" and I was nervous our DJ would do it out of habit but he never did! Anytime a song played

AMS performed at our wedding (Oct 9, 2021 at Highlands Estate in Cloverdale) and we can't recommend them enough. We had them provide music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. We provided detail instructions for some of the songs and DJ Emil nailed everything. If looking for a wedding DJ, you will not regret going with AMS Entertainment.

We hired AMS for DJ services for our wedding in Tiburon (Landmarks Art & Garden Center) and were so happy to have gotten to work with Alex, who did a thorough walk-through of the venue with us and our coordinator weeks in advance of our wedding. From there, we felt like we were in good hands. We liked using the online form to provide specific details about our music plans for the ceremony, reception and dancing and had a helpful conversation with Alex to follow-up on any questions or outstanding items. Alex worked really well with our coordinator leading up to the wedding and on the day of

Joe and his team are amazing to work with. AMS was highly recommended by our wedding planner - Lauren Miller - and our venue - Cornerstone - and we're so happy we booked them as our wedding DJ. We were paired with DJ Alex and he was awesome. So professional, took time to get to know us and our style before the event, and facilitated an AMAZING dance party. We also had someone sing during our ceremony and Alex was great with figuring out the stand mic and background music even though he was not doing the other ceremony music (used a quartet). It all went so smoothly! A team of really great people

THANK YOU AMS!!
My husband and I worked with Joe (owner) and Alex (wedding DJ). We booked with Joe over 2 years ago and had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. Throughout the last 2 years, I had a ton of questions for Joe and he was always extremely responsive, kind, and easy to work with! The team was very flexible when we had to change plans due to the pandemic and worked with us to make sure our event went off without a hitch! Everyone of our vendors told us that AMS is the best of the best!

Glad we secured AMS and DJ Emil for our wedding. We had a family member who couldn't attend and sent Emil a last minute request to show a video they made for us, Emil set up the projector (outside) and helped create one of the more memorable moments of our day. We had a COVID rescheduled wedding and navigating through with AMS was a breeze, definitely recommend them. Thanks Emil.

AMS was the PERFECT addition to our big day! DJ Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with, and he had the dance floor packed the whole night. Every meeting, and email he was so responsive and I knew he wanted to make our big day perfect. I was unfortunately a COVID bride but Joe and his team worked with every date change, and venue change I had with no complaints. If you are looking for the DJ of your wedding or anything, look no further! Thank you Joe, and thank you Alex for the best wedding DJ we could have asked for.

AMS did an excellent job providing music for our wedding! We had the perfect day and could not have been happier with both the live duo (Skyline Duo) that played for the beginning, ceremony, and cocktail hour of our event and our DJ, Emil. We received lots of great feedback from our guests on both of the types of music.
Emil was so easy to work with and was always available beforehand to answer any of our questions. We really trusted him to play music that he felt met the moment for our event, as my wife and I like a variety of music and have a difficult time choosing "favorites". Emil did an

In our initial contact with Joe, he explained how AMS works and the various options available, and after talking with him we decided to book AMS! In the final days before the wedding, we had to change a few things last-minute due to COVID, but AMS was super accommodating and met all of our needs.
On the day-of, everything went perfectly and DJ Skip was awesome! It all went so smoothly that we never even thought of the audio setup. He nailed the ceremony music, the announcements, the toasts, and especially the dancing. All of our guests had a great time on the dance floor and he kept it super

We absolutely loved Alex and working with AMS in general! Their website was easy to use and helped organize our thoughts and what we wanted overall! Alex listened to everything we wanted and made it beautiful from start to finish! It was all the music we love and he got to know us so we let him use his creativity to fill in the gaps and it was very much geared towards us! He was so personable and helpful! We can't thank you all enough! Highly would recommend your company and Alex to anyone!

From our very first interaction, we knew Alex was going to take care of us. He is as good as they come. His knowledge of ALL kinds of music was astounding. He's kind, easy to work with and didn't mind that we were the "winging it" type of couple. He just rolled with the punches. We cannot thank him enough for doing such an amazing job. A quick scroll though these reviews and all I see are 5 star reviews with "Alex" in them. I can see why and I 100% agree with all of them.

Prior to our wedding day, we had a couple of detailed calls where we went over all the details for our wedding and felt out the vibe that we wanted to set the mood for the evening. He was fun to work with but also ever the professional. He offered valuable insight as a wedding expert that we really appreciated too. His charisma and thoughtfulness

We had our Wedding in May 2019 at Eagle Vines Napa Valley. We hired AMS to provide microphone for the ceremony and DJ for dinner. Our DJ was Emil.
Emil was amazing. He is stress-free and easy-going. He was on top of everything, especially our tight schedule, and helped keep everything on track since our wedding coordinators weren't. Music was great. He played the songs we asked and got a good feeling for what we were looking for. He even accommodated last minute requests from the wedding party for a game.
We highly recommend AMS and Emil for your wedding.

DJ Emil & Joe Hernandez from AMS are world class. They're responsive, collaborative, thoughtful, and extremely committed. My wedding night would not have been so special without them. To double down on Emil's performance, my groomsmen and I choreographed a surprise dance that heavily involved Emil. He did an amazing job when it came to crunch time. Thus, not only was the evening planned well, but he executed. I could not recommend AMS more highly. Joe has assembled an amazing team and company culture that is very customer centric.

We had the AMAZING pleasure of working with Joe and AMS entertainment as our DJ for our special night at Viansa Sonoma. Not only does Joe have a warm and welcoming personality, he makes sure that he spends the right amount of time to get to know you prior to the event. He asked very good questions to "get to know the audience" before the event and did fantastic in reading the room the night of - he kept the crowd going all night! Joe did such a great job working with our coordinator and understanding where he needed to be and when - it was seamless from our perspective.
