About
Both music and entertainment have been my business and my passion for more than 25 years now. I owned the largest DJ and entertainment company in northern California for 20 years and trained many of Sacramento's finest wedding and event DJ/MC's. As an entertainment specialist, I have served as DJ/MC and on-site coordinator for literally thousands of weddings, corporate events and private parties. I have been a full-time wedding entertainment specialist since 1991. As your wedding DJ, I serve as your DJ/MC and your on-site coordinator for the reception. This means you can relax and enjoy your family and friends and leave all the details to me. I have a massive music library and will certainly have all the music you are looking for. My music is updated weekly. I offer online planning tools and music selection for your convenience. I am also a world-class singer/entertainer and have traveled around the world singing classic hits from nearly every musical genre. I offer this service at weddings and events as a special and unique option, but only upon request of my clients. Finally, I am the most reviewed DJ on Thumbtack and a "Top Pro" award winner with a 4.9 customer satisfaction rating. I am also a multiple "Couples Choice" award winner on WeddingWire with a 5.0 Customer Satisfaction Rating. In short, I love what I do, my pricing is extremely reasonable, lots of people seem to think I'm really good at what I do and I would love to do it for your wedding or special event! I love making people smile. I love hearing people talking at the end of an event and saying "this is the best party or reception I've ever been to." And of course I can't help but smile when I hear them say, "that DJ was fantastic, where did they find him?" And Finally, I love getting a big smile from my clients at the end of the night and hearing them say, "It was perfect and so much more than we expected!" Hearing those things at my events is what keeps me going and loving every minute of it

WOW!!! People are still talking about our Wedding. We hired Bill for our special day on 04/15/17. Go with Bill Pence for your wedding reception....period. He is more than a DJ, he's an amazing entertainer. We had cocktail hour and sit down dinner for our wedding. During that time we asked him to play some oldies but goodies. (Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and some smooth Jazz). Everyone was amazed as they were eating dinner and noticed that he was actually singing some of the songs and was doing a very good job a it. They are still making comments about how good he was. Needless to say that was added bonus to start the night off. When it came time to party we kicked it up a notch with some Old School Funk, Hip Hop R&B as well as requests from the crowd. He even threw in some Tupac "California Love" The dance floor was never empty and we even had a "Soul Train" line. The energy in the room was electric and he fed off of it. His system is pretty easy to use and allows you to customize the songs and order according to your likes as well as what is popular. I myself have planned many parties and have dj a few weddings. I also have several friends that are DJs and attended our wedding and they were also impressed. I didn't want to have a friend "work" our day. Bottom line. I would hire him again and would highly recommend him for you future event. Scott & Christy Cypress

We just had our wedding in beautiful Lake Tahoe! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ/MC! Bill was absolutely outstanding, kept the flow of our wedding running smoothly, played all things we requested and stayed away from all things we requested not to hear. We couldn't have been more thrilled with his services and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding with good vibes, lots of love and lots of soul. Thank you again bill! Without you our day wouldn't have been possible (or nearly as fun!)!! - Jen and Justin

My fiance and I hired Bill for our wedding purely based off his reviews, not meeting him until the day of the wedding, and I had only talked to him once the week of. He was perfect! He took the few song requests I had entered, and went with it. There have been people coming up to me for several days saying how great he was. We also had an art car from Burning Man that Bill played on top of, making the experience even more surreal. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ to get the crowd moving. He plays songs that all generations know and can dance to. Several of our guests have said they've never been to a wedding where every single person has danced, and every single person danced at our wedding. That says a lot about the type of DJ Bill is. I've heard that the DJ makes or breaks a party, and Bill definitely made our wedding a party to remember. Thank you Bill! Shane and Denae

Bill Pence was great. He did everything I asked, including getting two Disney songs that were not on his list but were super important to me to have at my wedding. I didn't want a DJ at first, but I'm so glad I landed up getting him because he helped the reception go very smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. When he had a question, he didn't mind going to the person I pointed to that had the answer, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time. I'd use him again if I have another event.

Bill Pence dj'd my wedding reception. It was a second marriage so we wanted a small intimate wedding and reception. Bill Pence was outstanding. Bill and I talked on the phone and through email before my wedding day. I explained to Bill the age demographics, the variety of music we liked and what we wanted to hear during the reception. He kept the flow of the reception moving perfectly. Bill played all the music we loved, got everyone involved and sang live during the reception. What a fantastic blend that was, he has a beautiful voice. Bill made my reception magical and memorable for us. For our last dance Bill had us in the center of the dance floor and all our guests around us in a big circle holding hands around us. What a beautiful and lasting memory that was for us. Such a unique and clever ending to a beautiful day. We couldn't have wished for more. I would highly recommend Bill Pence for any event. I know we will use him again in the future.
