About
My name is Michael Abara. I was born July 7, 1978. I currently reside in Carson CA and I'm a preferred vendor at The Reef in Long Beach CA and the resident DJ and sound tech at The Long Beach Laugh Factory. I've been serving as a DJ & MC in Los Angeles County and also a DJ & MC in Orange County. If you're asking how I came up with my DJ name, pandas are my favorite animal and my last name is Abara. Combine the two together and that's how I came up with DJ PANDABARA. Music has been very influential to me and plays a very big part in my life. I started DJing at the age of 14. From there, I fell in love with it. DJing was first a hobby for me till I was hitting the last of my teen years and turned it into my profession. I first started doing house parties, back yard gigs, night clubs, then transitioned into private & corporate events. From there my experience grew and blossomed. I have turned my love for music into a successful business. I've played in numerous venues across Northern, Central, and Southern California. I've been blessed and lucky with the talent I possess and have to be the confident DJ & MC that I am today. With the many years of experience, I'm confident when choosing me to be your DJ & MC it will be one of the wisest decisions you'll make. I hope to work with you on your special day. For more information, please visit djpandabara.com I enjoy putting smiles on all my client's faces with the setup and package deal of their choosing. Whether it be a wedding, birthday, high school dance, prom, reunion, anniversary, corporate gig, etc. paying attention to detail is what I do as far as giving a high end service at a fair and affordable price. Top of the line and industry standard equipment is used in all events, and there are no cutting corners. I love making a memorable and everlasting moment for all my clients and their guests. I take pride and enjoy giving my all to my clients to cater to their wants, needs, and demands for their event. My clients satisfaction of the work I put into their event is my joy. Hopefully you'll be a future client of mine and experience the professionalism I put into this line of work than other DJ's out there that claim to be professionals and know what they are doing.

Michael was just plain AWESOME! I say that nothing really prepares you on what to expect when it comes to planning a wedding. I was freaked out that there were so many little details I didn’t know and I didn’t have the time either. My wedding was one of those a la carte weddings not knowing what I got myself into. Hiring Mike was one the best things I ever made. He not only met our expectations, he went above and beyond. Mike went to our venue multiple times to get to know the location. I didn’t know that Cypress required a license to dj there so Michael took care of it himself. He also looked at the room to see what we would need to meet our needs regarding the size of the room and the amount guests we were having. Mike is great in communicating and very patient too. On the day of our wedding, Mike was very professional. He told everyone going in for the grand entrance where and what to do once they entered (I had no clue about it). Because my caterers were late, Mike was able to work around the timeline to keep things going (especially when we had very limited time). On top of everything, Mike has a GREAT voice for an MC. I definitely would hire him again for future events and I 100% would recommend him. He really makes you feel like he’s part of the family. I also met our amazing videographer through him and they made a great team!

Thank you so much Cherryrose! It was a pleasure taking care of you and Alan at your wedding. This is what I do and this is how I treat each and every client that decides on booking me for their wedding or any event they may have. I want them to have the experience of how a true a professional DJ company should be and the work I put into this industry. Nothing beats it as having the experience as if I'm part of your family or a best friend. Thank you again for having me. Always stay in love with one another.

Michael was the only DJ who offered (and did) show up to the venue before we hired him to do a walk-through and ensure that our package would work with the venue and live recording artist we had performing. He saved the day after another DJ we hired bailed on us, with less than 1 month to the wedding. He assisted with the GOBO we wanted for our name in lights and made sure the timeline was followed and coordinated before the wedding day. He was professionally dressed and is equipment was discreet. Quite a few guests complimented him for how it all went down and he played all the music and genres we requested. No complaints from the newlyweds. :)

DJ Pandabara delivered an incredible package starting from the very first phone conversations and in person meeting. He is a super personable guy and inspired confidence from the beginning, which continued to build on subsequent interactions, whether by e-mails, text message or phone calls. His responses were timely and straight to the point, never vague and misleading. My wife and I felt he was the right person for the job and we continued to be impressed by him and his professionalism from start to finish. We felt at ease with asking various questions and he helped make accommodations for our international music selection and other song selection requests. He also gave valuable feedback about the reception timeline in keeping with his MC duties, on top of being a fantastic DJ. The sound system was perfect and our guests enjoyed the mix of oldies and newer hits, and there was not a single song requested that he could not incorporate. This made for a fun dance party! We had also asked for his help with uplighting which turned out amazing and really added a cool element to the fun atmosphere. We were really blown away at our luck in finding DJ Pandabara and feel continued appreciation for all his guidance in the planning process and the amazing final product on our wedding day!
