We hired Marcus to DJ at our family reunion which just happened this past weekend in San Francisco… HE IS AMAZING. I highly, highly recommend him! Not only is he professional, responding timely to all questions, making sure I had the information I needed to give to the hotel for logistics, etc.. he completely put me at ease around the entire process and made it easy for me as I had never hired a DJ before. etc. Also, he is kind and friendly and all of my family loved him! Do not hesitate to hire Marcus, he is truly wonderful!

I hired DJ MoeThaMost for my 60th Birthday party in S.F. and he was absolutely amazing!! We were incredibly impressed with his DJing abilities! MoeThaMost had a great mix of music that kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests were raving about how much they enjoyed MoeThaMost's DJing. The music was so well-chosen, the transitions were seamless, and he has great ability to read a crowd. Leading up to the event, he was extremely communicative, responsive and thorough. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Marcus was the DJ for our New Year’s Eve party, and he absolutely made the night unforgettable! From start to finish, he kept the energy high. His playlist was spot-on, perfectly blending crowd favorites with unique tracks that kept everyone excited. He was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and knew exactly how to read the crowd. If you're looking for a DJ who can turn an event into a truly memorable experience, Marcus is your guy. Highly recommend!

My now wife and I were looking for a DJ and with all the choices out there it was overwhelming. DJ MoeThaMost has been very communicative and flexible even on the day of our wedding. He has the best price I’ve seen when we were shopping for a DJ, yet his setup was above professional grade quality. If you’re looking for someone who has the best pricing, best equipments, and someone who’d communicate really well, I’d look no further, you’d be in good hands 🔥🔥

It was so hard to fine a good DJ who is responsive and easy to communicate our needs. We had a mixed crowd of Korean and Indian guests. We also had a comedy show which involved K pop and Bollywood music after the dinner. DJ M made it so smooth by pre-coordinating the wedding music/DJing with the comedian and our wedding coordinator. Highly recommend! Real nice guy as well!

We had the pleasure of having DJ MoeThaMost at our daughter’s quinceañera, and we couldn’t be happier with his performance. Marcus was not just a DJ; he was a fantastic emcee who kept the night flowing smoothly and kept everyone engaged. From the moment the event started, Marcus set the perfect tone with his music selection. He played a great mix that appealed to all ages, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time on the dance floor. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly was impressive, and it kept the energy high all night long. Marcus’s emcee skills were outstanding. He was charismatic, clear, and kept the evening’s events on track without a hitch. His professionalism and enthusiasm truly made a difference and contributed to the success of the celebration. We received numerous compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music and the overall vibe of the party. DJ Marcus was instrumental in making our daughter’s quinceañera an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend him for any event where you want top-notch music and a great atmosphere!

We had an excellent experience working with Marcus. Communication was easy and seamless, and despite us providing very little guidance on music, he curated the perfect playlist for our event. His selections were spot-on for the age range and vibe of the participants. I highly recommend him and would be thrilled to work with him again in the future.

Marcus had my 40th birthday party rocking… I decided to book a DJ at the last minute, and he came through clutch. Since it was so last minute, I only provided a few songs—genres and eras—and he still knocked it out the park. I highly recommend using Marcus for your next event.

We had the best wedding ever with DJ Moe working the music for us. From the ceremony to cocktail hour all the way until the end of the event, the music had the entire event feeling lively and I got many compliments about how well we picked out our playlist (all compliments to the DJ). Not only was the music exciting for the younger groups, but he also went above and beyond and got the older folks out on the floor dancing as well. DJ Moe went above and beyond in all aspects: prepping, communicating extremely well prior to the event, and reading the room well and making sure the party never stopped. If we ever host another large event, I know I will be reaching back out to DJ Moe. Thanks a ton man, couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.

Markus was the DJ at our birthday party and fully delivered. He created with his music, light effects and Co2 gun an amazing atmosphere. The dance floor was packed and the party guests had a lot of fun. We were getting a lot of compliments afterwards regarding the music and DJ MoeThaMost. Also the preparation was flawless. Marcus reached out quickly, listened well during the prep calls and incorporated our playlists as well. We would be very happy to work with Marcus again and would recommend him to our friends.

Wedding FAQ

The questions couples ask before they book.

Timelines, MC duties, deposits, travel and what happens if a cable decides tonight is the night.

When do you arrive, and how long does setup take?

Load-in starts 60–90 minutes before guests arrive, depending on venue access and how far the booth is from the loading door. Every system is fully assembled, cable-managed and sound-checked before the first guest walks in — you will never see a setup in progress.

  • Arrival 60–90 minutes prior to guest arrival
  • Full line check and volume calibration completed before doors open
  • Flush facade with zero visible or loose wires, photo-ready from every angle
  • Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception zones set in a single load-in where the venue allows

Do you MC the event and coordinate with my other vendors?

Yes. Full MC service is included at no extra cost. That covers every timeline announcement and live coordination with your photographer, planner, caterer and venue staff so each moment lands when everyone is ready.

  • Grand entrance, first dance, toasts, parent dances, cake cutting and last call
  • Timeline built with you in advance and confirmed at the final planning call
  • Direct cues to photographer, planner and catering captain throughout the night
  • Wireless handheld and lapel mics provided for toasts, officiants and speeches

What are your deposit and payment terms?

A deposit is what secures your date — until it is received the date stays open to other inquiries. The remaining balance is due before the event begins. Payment is accepted via Apple Pay, Cash, PayPal, Venmo and and Zelle.

  • Deposit reserves the date and is applied to your total
  • Balance due before the event starts — no end-of-night collection
  • Accepted methods: Apple Pay, Cash, PayPal, Venmo and and Zelle
  • Written quote itemising hours, add-ons and travel provided before any payment

Do you travel to Oakland?

Yes — Oakland is roughly 30 min from the Fremont, CA home base and carries no additional travel fee. Coverage runs across the greater Bay Area:

  • Fremont & the Tri-City area
  • San Francisco
  • Silicon Valley & the South Bay
  • Oakland & the East Bay
  • Napa & Sonoma wine country
  • Monterey & the coast

What happens if equipment fails mid-event?

Every event is run on a fully redundant rig. Backup hardware travels to every booking and the music library is stored offline, so a failed component or a dead venue Wi-Fi connection never stops the dance floor.

  • Backup controller, laptop and audio interface on site at every event
  • Spare powered speaker plus replacement cabling for every run
  • Redundant wireless mic and receiver for ceremonies and toasts
  • Entire music library stored offline — no dependency on venue internet
  • Battery-backed power conditioning to ride out venue circuit drops
