Caliber DJs

DJ Nate was absolutely amazing for our June 2015 wedding. He played exactly what we were looking for (with very little to go on from my husband and I) and kept everyone out there dancing which was all we wanted. He listened to the things that we specifically wanted played as well as what we did not want played. He did a great job as the MC for the reception without making the whole thing sound «game showy». We got so many compliments from our guests about how great the DJ was! I would highly recommend Nate to anyone!

Should have written this sooner, but better late than never. My wife and I hired Nate to handle the music for our wedding back in the end of August, 2015. We shopped around a lot, check out a bunch of different DJ’s. Nate not only gave us the best price of everyone, he was also able to set up a DJ for us that knew Latin music very well. The DJ that worked with us was Edwin Morales. Edwin DJed our wedding perfectly. He played the music we wanted him to play, while keeping it very mixed so it wasn’t all one style or another. Everyone was on the dance floor all night. Nate was incredibly easy to get ahold of, and made sure to follow up or help on anything he needed. He helped get us in touch with other vendors as well. They did such an amazing job, and for a lot less than we were quoted by other groups. You will not be disappointed if you go with Nate and Caliber DJ’s.

Nate is amazing! He was the DJ at my cousins wedding in Chicago and we absolutely loved what he DJ’ed. My husband and I were to be married in california the next summer, so I took his card and we worked out that he would be our DJ.
He is and was amazing and everyone commented on our choices of music and his DJ style. He’s amazing and I totally recommend him! Remember, I paid to ship him out from Chicago to SF to DJ for us, that says a lot!

We couldn’t have been happier with Nate for our wedding DJ. He was SO great to work with, totally understood what we were looking for and delivered flawlessly. There were so many things that could have gone wrong on our big day and nothing did thanks to Nate’s planning and expertise. We would 100% recommend Nate to anyone looking for a responsive, quality and all around great guy for their wedding DJ.

Nate was absolutely fantastic. He was recommended to us by someone who referred to him as a DJ who «doesn’t play the usual crappy wedding music,» and we were not disappointed.
Bullet points on his awesomeness:
–Incredibly responsive: anyone who has planned a wedding understands how valuable this quality is; I never waited more than a few hours to hear back when I contacted him.
–Thorough: Nate sent us a detailed questionnaire before the wedding, and he clearly read through it carefully, as was reflected in his performance.
–Accommodating: edited songs for our ceremony perfectly, drove to the (out of town) venue for an early walkthrough, helped provide sound equipment for our friend playing during cocktail hour, set up a projector and a slideshow during the reception. This guy did it all and was super nice about it.
–Reliable: punctual, straightforward, honest.
–Super nice guy! We really liked working with him!
Bottom line: Whatever your tastes, Nate clearly endeavors to tailor the music to suit his clients, and he is a joy to work with; I cannot speak highly enough of him and am so glad we found him! Thanks for making our day so special, Nate!

My husband I got married on 7÷11÷15, and we had an excellent experience with Nate as our DJ. Nate was working with Style Matters here in Chicago (where we were married), but he just recently moved to San Francisco to start Caliber DJs. Based on our experience with Nate, we would highly recommend him and Caliber DJs to anybody getting married in the San Francisco area!
One of our biggest priorities for our wedding was that everybody was out on the dance floor– and Nate made that happen! He did such a great job of reading the crowd and playing songs that had everybody (and I mean everybody) tearing it up until the very last minute we had the venue. Even during the dinner portion of our reception, the background music that Nate played was so great that my husband actually said: «Wow, I feel like this is exactly the music I would pick!» It was really impressive– clearly Nate had a good understanding of the styles of music we liked and made sure the music suited our preferences! We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with Nate at our wedding– it wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without him DJing for us! Highly recommended!

Nate DJ’d our wedding and did an amazing job. Previous to the wedding he was amazingly communicative and helpful. I feel like we gave him very little to go on in terms of what music we liked, but he clearly got all the information he needed as he did an amazing job capturing exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone.

Nate killed it!!!
I couldn’t have been happier with Nate and Caliber DJs! Definitely the right choice for our wedding.
We were married on the beach so we were a little worried about the sound. His system is out of this world. People halfway down the beach could hear us. Fantastic!
We broke our reception into 3 different types of music… and Nate delivered each time. Guests were coming up to us saying how great the music was. As music people, that’s exactly what we wanted to hear. From 90s alternative to dance hits of today, Nate has it covered! And he’s flexible. We had a few guest requests that he was able to add into the mix at a moment’s notice.
Caliber DJs are professional, experienced, fun, and you can tell they love what they do. I am so happy they were a part of our big day. I can’t say enough positive things. 10+ stars!!!

Nate DJ’d our wedding this past Saturday and literally brought the house down on the dance floor. The floor was mobbed the entire time and everybody was loving every song that came on. Nate really takes the time to get to know you and exactly what you’re looking for in your event, and we were so happy with what he brought to our wedding. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Our guests were gushing about how much they loved the music and vibe at our wedding. Definitely book Nate for your event!

Nate, there aren’t enough stars on here to show our appreciation for you!
We found Nate through a google search and scheduled a face-​to-​face meeting. His attitude and personality were perfect for our event. Nate was cognizant of our budget and communicated with us throughout the entire time leading up to our event. Nate asked relevant questions and was genuinely interested in our day being perfect.
The day of, his setup and music were absolutely on point. He also made sure the day was flowing appropriately by telling people when to sit for food, cake, dancing etc.
I would whole-​heartedly recommend Nate to DJ at ANY event!

If I could choose a ton more stars, I totally would!!! Nate is absolutely AMAZING!!! He was a huge part of our big day! He is the best at reading the crowd and keeping everyone happy! I’m so so so so happy that my wife found him!!!
Thank you so much, Nate!!!

Nate was a breeze to work with! He always got back to our emails within the day and usually within an hour :) There were a few minor changes the day of our wedding, and our timeline ran a bit behind, and he worked through the changes with such professionalism! We really enjoyed Nate’s music and he read our audience so well — we danced the entire night!
As reference, Nate DJed our reception at a restaurant in downtown San Francisco, and he had never DJed there before. He did a walk through a week before the wedding so there weren’t any surprises for the day-​of. Love the thoroughness. We would highly recommend Nate to any family or friend needing a DJ for their event!

Caliber DJs, specifically Nate Seider, provided DJ and emcee services for our wedding. Nate was incredibly helpful and patient during the months leading up to the wedding. He made time to meet with us, first on skype and then in person as well. We were comforted by his endless amount of experience in the industry. On the day of our wedding Nate was flawless. He was emceeing everything that he we asked of him, and always in a cool, calm, and collected tone. He did not hog the microphone, but rather elegantly guided the event throughout the evening.
He picked some nice chill music for the dinner service, and provided many good songs for dancing. The audio setup was flawless and the sound was high quality. I’d definitely recommend Caliber DJs for any events you may have.

August 3^rd, 2014: Mountain Winery– Saratoga, CA
We had the pleasure of meeting Nate through our wedding coordinator. Since we were planning a wedding in CA while working full time in Texas, we relied on phone conversations to speak with our vendors.
Prior to speaking with Nate, he sent us a questionnaire via email just to get an idea of what our music tastes were. I’ve been to many weddings before, and there were a few things that I wanted in a DJ:
1. I wanted the DJ to play my music! I’ve heard of wedding Djs in the past that played their own music. With so much effort and time going into one day, Nate assured us that he would play our music. He was able to play some old stuff and new songs!
2. We didn’t want a DJ that talked too much: Nate was really accomodating, and I’m sure if you wanted him to speak more at your event he would, but for ours, we just wanted the music to speak for itself. Nate did announce certain things like the speeches, which is exactly what we wanted!
3. We wanted smooth transitions between songs: Nate made seemless transitions between songs, and that kept the party going!
4. We wanted to be able to hear the music, but not cause us to be deaf: The music was the right volume.
If you’re in the Bay Area, and you’re looking for a professional, considerate, entertaining DJ, then stop here and hire Nate.
WE loved Nate, but you must be wondering what our guests thought:
-«OH WOW Anthony, the music was so cool!»
-«I wish we had a DJ like that at our wedding»
-«Where did you find this guy? He’s so cool!»
Go book Nate right away, and focus on other parts of your wedding. He’s worth every penny!!!

We were looking for a wedding DJ that could play a variety of music that not only would be enjoyable for us 30-​somethings, but accessible enough that our older family members would have a good time as well. He started off the afternoon handling our ceremony perfectly with our requested songs, and then continued with a very nice, subtle collection, gradually increasing the intensity as the night went on. By the end of the night the dance floor was full and everyone was having the time of their life. We had a number of guests comment on how amazing the DJ was. Even friends of mine that usually don’t dance were out there!
Nate not only did an amazing job with the song selection, sound quality and flow, but also helped coordinate the wedding through graceful mic cues over the course of the evening.
I couldn’t recommend Nate and Caliber DJs highly enough.

If I had to sum up Nate of Caliber DJs in one word it would be AMAZING. He was recommended to us by our wedding planner Cheryl Fleming of Caitlin Arnold Weddings and Events and I will continue to recommend him to anybody looking for a great DJ.
Nate is easy to work with and he really listens to you. He delivered the exact feel my husband and I were going for at our reception and several of our guests complimented on how great the music was and that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended– I give a lot of credit to Nate for keeping our guests happy and having a great time.
Nate is really good at reading the crowd and playing music that keeps the party going. There were no cheesy gimmicks or cliché wedding songs to kill the mood. One of the best parts is Nate spins vinyl. It was just that much cooler to watch him work the turntable than click around on a Mac Book.
A true professional showman. Book Nate. Do it. You (and your guests) will love him!!!

Planning my friend’s wedding was about the most daunting and stressful undertaking that has happened to me in recent memory. That’s why it was such a relief to have discovered Nate and Caliber DJs. Nate was an absolute breeze to work with, and his experience and professionalism came through every step of the way.
The first thing that struck me was Nate’s incredible attention to detail. His initial questionnaire addressed many questions that even we hadn’t thought of. His constant accessibility throughout the planning process was a very comforting thing to have, but he was never overbearing at any point. After meeting with him to get down some final logistics we were more than confident that he would deliver on my friend’s big day. And deliver he did! As an MC he was personable but not invasive, making sure to learn the correct pronunciation of everyone’s names, and giving cues to those who had to make speeches. Since we didn’t have a wedding planner it was really nice to have someone worrying about that so we didn’t have to.
The music was absolutely amazing from start to finish– sophisticated and low-​key during dinner and cocktails, and when it came down to the dancing he had people on the floor sweating until the hotel turned the lights up at the end of the night! Best of all, he was able to take our music suggestions and weave them perfectly with selections of his own– he really made it feel like we were in control the entire time and was polite and tactful even when a few of the more «unruly» guests made requests that were on the «do not play» list. And the fact that he uses actual turntables and records is super cool. My friend’s guests have been raving about him for weeks now!
All in all I would recommend Caliber DJs to anyone and everyone looking for that perfect fit for their wedding. I can’t imagine what we would have done without him and would consider anyone lucky enough to book him to be in for an incredible and memorable experience from start to finish. 5 stars!

There are a lot of good DJs out there and a lot of really awful ones. Nate is easily the best DJ we have ever seen and we have been to a ton of weddings over the years. He DJ’d our wedding recently and the guests could not stop raving about him! I agree with an earlier post that every time I went to sit down (because I was drenched!), he would play yet another killer track. Another cool thing is that he spun vinyl! Vinyl! Who does that anymore? He completely rocked our party and the dance floor was packed for literally hours. We highly recommend using him for LGBT or straight weddings — truly a phenomenal talent! We would not hesitate to use him again for another event.

Nate did an incredible job for my wedding in June of this year. He was very helpful during the planning process and took our music tastes into consideration. He did a great job the day of the wedding — playing music that we wanted to hear and kept people on the dance floor.
I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

It’s rare that I ever give 5 stars for anything in life, but having Nate DJ at our wedding was such a great experience that it’s well worth the rating. My sister used him for her wedding a couple of years ago and we literally could not stop dancing! Every time we tried to take a break, it was like he had a magical «dance whip» that would force you back up onto the floor. We had the same experience with him for our date this past August 17^th. We met with Nate in advance to discuss some of the logistics (I.e. first dance song, garter toss etc.) but I still feel confident that he would have been able to play with little to no direction.
Sincerely,
A happy bride

Nate DJed our wedding reception and we couldn’t have imagined a better result. Even though we are big into music, when it came to figuring out what we wanted at our reception we surprisingly lacked direction. Fortunately, Nate has this interesting way of figuring out the right feel based on your personality, so when he made recommendations for a particular artist or genre, they just worked.
We had about 100 people of all ages from three different countries, and we thought it would be pretty challenging to please everyone, but we heard compliments all night. The music was eclectic but cohesive and included artists and songs we specifically requested as well as unfamiliar picks that worked perfectly for the situation. The cocktail/​dinner music was great: low key and not distracting, but definitely the right mood. Perhaps most importantly, Nate managed to get at least 3 generations out on the floor.
Lastly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the fantastic service Nate provided during the planning process. He worked with our schedule and was always available by email. He even helped us nail down the reception timeline. When you have a thousand little details you’re worried about it makes a huge difference to be able to trust someone to be awesome.
