Belmont Entertainment came recommended by our photographer, and did not disappoint in any aspect of their services. From the very first conversation and throughout the process, Nick was extremely attentive to our requests, eagerly learning more about our interests and expectations in a DJ for our wedding. His enthusiasm, motivation, and ability to read the crowd was pivotal in ensuring our guests a phenomenal experience. In addition, Nick was very amenable and adaptive to our unique destination venue in Big Sur. We highly recommend Nick and Belmont Entertainment, and without any hesitation, would

Jon was our DJ at Holman Ranch on 10.2.21 in Carmel Valley and was the absolute best! We're so happy that we went with Belmont Entertainment and Jon. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We didn't have to worry about a thing and we received so many compliments from our guests about Jon! He really made sure our guests were having a great time and often checked in with us to make sure it everything was going smoothly and to plan. Jon was such a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him for any of your Dj needs!
THANK YOU SO MUCH Jon! - Heather and Drew.

Belmont Entertainment was recommended to us by our wedding venue and they were the first DJ company that we spoke with. After chatting with Nick on the phone we knew immediately that he was the man for the job. Not only was Nick professional, kind, and enthusiastic....he took the time to really get to know us and our musical taste. He was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, even during the crazy year that was 2020.
Fast forward to the wedding day - Nick knocked it out of the park! He was prompt, organized, and truly was an excellent emcee for the wedding...not to mention

We used Belmont for our wedding at the Dream Inn in September of 2019. Unfortunately our experience was quite different from the other reviewers here. It literally became (and still is) the joke of our wedding that we managed to have a great wedding DESPITE Belmont's services. A few of the lowlights - they forgot to bring mics for the speeches so we had to delay our reception start for an hour while they left to go retrieve mics, they did not pay any attention to the playlist they'd asked us to build (which took months to prepare of course) so our reception was packed with tracks that

Belmont was recommended to us by my brother who used them a couple of years ago. The DJ they had used was no longer there, but we got in contact with Nick and he was very attentive and helpful right from the start. I am definitely a music person and wanted to have the music that I love for my wedding. I sent Nick some playlists and he worked my songs in with all the wedding classics seamlessly. When it came time for dancing we all had an absolute blast! Nick had everyone on the dance floor and saved the best for last, playing all my favorite-less family friendly songs towards the end of the night

Belmont was recommended to us by a friend whose wedding was a few months before ours. After putting in an inquiry, Nick promptly reached out to setup an intro call. We had such a pleasant time talking with him that my fiance (now wife) and I decided we wanted him to be our DJ (other Belmont DJs were available). We couldn't have been more pleased!
From the very beginning of the planning process, Nick was incredibly friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable - it definitely put us at ease during a time when there are a million things to stress about. Nick worked closely with us to plan our day

We booked Jon Belmont for our wedding after being referred to him by our coordinator and photographer. Everyone I interacted with at Belmont Entertainment was professional, informative and we always received a quick response (shout out to Nick!)
Our vision for our wedding was to have a great party and Jon delivered- he had the dancefloor PACKED for three straight hours. It was insane. We got SO MANY compliments on the music from our guests.
Jon was also an excellent emcee and ensured our ceremony, toasts and dances flowed smoothly. On top of all of this, he was an absolute pleasure to work

Today is Tuesday - and I JUST got married on Saturday. While I have barely had a moment to come up for air, I wanted to make sure I shared my experience as soon as possible.
My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with JUSTIN WHITE - and boom! He is simply AMAZING.
Justin was calm, collected, organized, and hilarious - exactly what we needed when planning our Big Day.
With quite a wide age range (14-75) in our group, we were concerned about having "something for everyone". Justin told us "not to worry"...and he was amazing at ensuring everyone had something to shake their

We had Belmont DJ our wedding at the Monterey Plaza hotel this July and we could not have asked for a better company to work with. We exchanged multiple emails and phone calls with Miguel during the planning stages and he was nothing, but flexible and supportive. It was DJ Sean however who worked at our wedding and he was nothing short of phenomenal. The playlist he composed for us truly represented our dancing style and everyone at the wedding couldn't stop talking about how killer it was. Thank you Sean, Miguel, and Belmont for making our wedding unforgettable and everything we could have

Miguel from Belmont Entertainment was wonderful!! I'd like to think I am not too much of a Bridezilla, but there was one thing at my wedding I was very particular on: the music. I made a list of around 30 songs I definitely wanted him to play, 20 songs I definitely did NOT want him to play, and very specific songs for the ceremony. Miguel crushed it. He was professional and called ahead, going through everything with me to make sure we were on the same page. He was lively and fun but not too 'in your face' like some other DJ's I've seen at weddings. He allowed for flow

I absolutely recommend Belmont Entertainment if you are planning a wedding in the Monterey / Santa Cruz / Carmel area (or elsewhere for that matter!) We had Jon as our DJ and MC, and he was full of energy, and so nice and easy to
work with.
I have no clue why I thought in my mind that he was older, and was worried he'd only play old people music, but he wasn't and has a great ability to read the crowd. We provided a playlist with our favorites, and he was able to really smoothly work the playlist.
On the MC front, he's also very flexible as we had a few changes throughout the
work with.

Recently had DJ Sean Ryan for our wedding, he was above and beyond my expectations. I was blown away by his friendly demeanor and professionalism.
Sean was able to find the perfect music for our wedding (we used mostly piano and cello covers of pop songs, I highly recommend it!) but more than that, he was able to keep everyone dancing and entertained.
I was skeptical coming in that I would find a DJ that I would like (I tend to pay attention to the music closely and pick out transitions and key matching). What amazed me is that Sean was able to make me forget he was there (in a great way). The

Belmont entertainment knows how to throw an unforgettable party! My husband and I had Sean DJ our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! He was extremely accommodating to any and all of our requests. He assured me anything we wanted would be played, and man did he deliver. It was truly an unforgettable night thanks to Belmont!

We recently had the pleasure of having Jon as our DJ at our wedding. It was a wonderful experience. He was so helpful, had some great ideas, and made our night 100% perfect.
During the night Jon was the perfect MC and kept the night on schedule, coordinated smoothly with our wedding coordinator of our venue, and regularly checked in with us to see if we needed anything and to make sure we knew the order, and what was next.
I would highly suggest Jon to anyone for their wedding.

I am so happy that we chose Jon to DJ our wedding reception at Mission Ranch! He was so knowledgeable and helped us plan the timeline for the evening (introductions, toasts, cake-cutting, etc.). He was flexible when we changed our minds about music choices and was always upbeat and the consummate professional! He filled in the perfect music choices based on our tastes and he kept everything on track for us the entire evening. We couldn't have been more pleased and would definitely recommend Jon for any event!

Jon DJ'd my Perry House wedding in Monterey this January. The venue was intimate and spaced out (tri-level), however the music broadcasted nicely on all three levels. I completed the pre-packet with all my preferences and we met about 5 days before the wedding. He was detailed orientated, thorough and offered a few great suggestions. The pre-ceremony music he picked was 20/30's and I loved getting ready to it. All of my details went off without a hitch, as well as the reception music and dancing. I had a last minute oops I forgot, which Jon was able to incorporate into the ceremony

DJ Sean graced us with his talent at our wedding on September 12 in Carmel Valley at folktale estate winery. Sean was absolutely phenomenal the entire time intuitively picking the right music for the crowd at the right time. Belmont entertainment provides a very thorough wedding planner (packet) so that you can get exactly what you hoped for on the big day... They even preplan the songs so that they are ready to go with the right version. DJ Sean would always look for my cues in case I wanted a song to end early or switch up the mood (so cool). What I love so much is that I didn't even have

Ok.... so it doesn't look like you need any help on deciding to use this guy and/or his company as it seems like almost everyone has given him 5 stars... but I guess another glowing review can't hurt...

The two things that were of the utmost importance to us at our wedding were great music and an exceptional photographer. Luckily we had both but Jon Belmont played an enormous part in making our wedding day absolutely incredible.
It's challenging to play music that spans several generations, keeps everyone happy, and the party going and Jon delivered on this promise and was simply the best. We had our wedding at The Perry House in September and he was an incredible MC, 100% on top of everything - he even checked up on us several times throughout the night to make sure we were having a good

We used Jon as our wedding DJ at Chateau Julien on October 12 and had a fantastic experience! Jon did a great job of feeling out the crowd and keeping the dance floor packed. After the wedding we received numerous compliments from our guests about how much fun they had, and we attribute a big part of that to how Jon set the tone and kept the party going with his song choices.
In addition to the outstanding job he did at our reception, Jon is also super easy to work with. He was very professional and responsive to emails and phone calls. The best advice we can give is to give him the freedom
