EXCLUSIVE DJ/MC LIST


A few years ago, a newer venue one-mile East of Maravilla Gardens was shut down by Ventura County after their initial 5-year conditional use permit ended. Understandably, one condition of that permit is that the surrounding neighbors are not to be bothered by sound. Soon after that, our neighbors started complaining about the DJs our couples were hiring to perform here. In an effort to keep our venue from being shut down, we have put together our exclusive DJ list. These DJs have been the most popular DJs with our couples for many years. Many have decades of experience. They are able to maintain our sound ordinance in a way that it is focused and loud enough on the dance floor that you must yell to be heard, yet quiet enough at the dining tables surrounding the dance floor to allow conversations.

Once we installed our surround sound system, we trained all of the DJs on our list on how to use them. We chose JBL outdoor speakers and QSC amplifiers. But something was missing to make the party complete, so we added a QSC subwoofer. The sound is crisp, clear, and perfectly balance in the ceremony, cocktail, and reception areas.

Events at Maravilla Gardens do require the use of a DJ from this exclusive list.

If you feel you will need an MC who speaks a certain language, one solution is to ask a friend or family member to help you out by translating at a few key moments, such as the Grand Entrance and during Toasts. You may also hire a separate MC of your choosing. If you believe you must have a DJ of a certain ethnicity to choose your music, know that any good DJ is able to play music they are not familiar with. Every couple will be asked to provide a list of songs, regardless of ethnicity.
