About
If you want a DJ who actually knows how to move a crowd — not just press play — you’ve found him.
I bring decades of DJ experience, seamless mixing, and instinctive crowd reading to every event. From the first song to the last, I know how to create momentum, keep energy high, and make sure your guests stay on the floor.
I specialize in weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations of all sizes, delivering a customized experience that fits your vision and your crowd. I don’t use cookie-cutter playlists — every event is tailored, professionally mixed, and executed with precision.
You’ll get:
• A seasoned DJ who reads the room in real time
• Clean, professional MC’ing (never cheesy, never overbearing)
• High-quality sound and optional lighting to elevate the atmosphere
• A smooth, stress-free experience from planning to last call
I proudly serve the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa Valley, and Sacramento region, and I’m trusted for weddings, graduations, birthdays, quinceañeras, bar/bat mitzvahs, and corporate events where the music matters.
My goal is simple: your guests leave talking about how good the music was.

DJ Wendell was amazing! He did such a fantastic job. My party was of mixed culture, American and Mexican, and he was able to include music of both cultures. In advance, he even asked for me to send songs that I wanted to have played at the party. He was able to play music based on those songs. He is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge about a large variety of music. He was very kind and played songs the guests had requested. I would 100% recommend him to others!

Wendell was an incredible asset not just as a DJ, but also in helping plan and coordinate our wedding—far beyond what I expected. As a first-time (and hopefully only-time!) wedding planner, I leaned heavily on his expertise. He helped me stay organized and acted as a sounding board for various ideas leading up to the big day.
On the day of the wedding, Wendell was punctual, professional, and kept the energy just right. He had the music going at all the right moments, made all the necessary announcements, and helped us stay on schedule without ever feeling rushed.
If you're looking to throw a great dance party and want a DJ who knows how to read the room and keep people on the dance floor, I highly recommend Wendell!

We booked DJ Wendell for our wedding after-party and he was incredible! He was on time, super professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. He asked about our music preferences, including whether we wanted clean or explicit versions, and even curated his own playlist based on the vibe of our top song choices. Honestly, I don’t remember much from that night except how much fun we all had :D he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire time with the perfect mix of music. Everything was solid and seamless! Highly recommend him if you want a DJ who knows how to keep the energy up and the party going! Thank you, DJ Wendell!
Details: Party • 25 - 49 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • Pop • Hip-hop / Rap • Banquet hall or ballroom

DJ Wendell arrived as scheduled. He is very professional and was well equipped with awesome sound and lighting equipment. He was very personable and receptive to any special requests or needs we had. DJ Wendell took my husband's 80th birthday party to a higher level! I genuinely look forward to enlisting his services again. I would recommend him highly if you are in need of a DJ who is versatile and familiar with all or most genres and eras of music.
