Scott was awesome!!! From the dinner reception when we announced us to the party. I wouldn't change anything about it. He was very professional, great personality, great communication and so much fun and he got everyone to dance and have a fun time. He is the best for any wedding. Couldn't be happier with my experience with him.
Read MoreI was the wedding coordinator for a wedding that Scott DJ'd. Scott easily earned a 5 star rating! He was also responsive during the pre-wedding coordinator, always answered emails promptly and answered all questions we had. The day of he showed up EARLY, which I love. Had everything set up and time and ready to go. Everything went very smoothly and I would definitely recommend Scott to any other clients. People don't realize how important DJ's are at a wedding because once the reception starts, they run the show. If they don't have their act together, the reception will fall apart. Scott came ready with his timeline and run of show, keeping the event smooth, on time, and so fun!!
Read MoreI am the event coordinator for Lions Park in Carpinteria and booked Scott for our Open House. He was AMAZING. Showed up early to set up, extremely nice and professional, and knew exactly what mood I was looking to create and did an amazing job. He added gorgeous uplighting in our lodge as well! I can't recommend his services enough. He's awesome!
Read MoreScott Topper is on fire! I have worked with Scott on more than a few occasions and this allowed me to see the professional side of his business and this guy and his employees are on it. They are punctual, detailed, and show up to do the very best job possible and the client's desires are never short changed. He has return clients more than anyone I know and there is a reason for that!
If I knew nothing else, this would be enough to recommend him without any reservation. However, I have also been on the other side of this as a guest at multiple events he was covering and as I said, he is on fire! He is funny, is able to grab appropriate little bits of music out during awards, announcements, etc. He can also engage the crowd with seemingly little effort and when it comes time to let the music roll, he is all over it. Having seen him work a few different times, I know he has tens of thousands of tunes and can bring the 80s--and I mean ALL OF IT-- if that what want or a broad mix of that is what you want. Complete versatility.
Scott is easy to work with and I would not only recommend him, but will hire him to cover my wedding when that day comes!
If you want a professional entertainer that is funny,professional.passionate who knows every aspect of the business....hire STP. You will get what you pay for.
Read MoreScott is THE BEST! He DJ'ed our work event and was awesome! He has an infinite knowledge of music and completely got the vibe we were going for at our event and kept the dance floor packed. The man knows his music! I highly recommend Scott for your wedding, birthday, or any function. He's fabulous!
Read MoreScott Topper and his entire crew are amazing! I've worked with him countless times, and each time he has always been the epitome of professional. I've referred dozens of clients to him, and they have all raved about how easy and organized he and his team are to work with. And always pleasant and polite! Even under some stressful circumstances, Scott is always composed. I highly recommend him and all of his production services.
Read MoreScott was the DJ at our wedding on November 29th at St. Barbara's Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Barbara. He was AMAZING and our guests are still raving about the music!! Everyone was dancing until the end of the night!
Scott was very personable and worked with my fiancé and I on all of the details that went into planning our reception. He ensured that all of our song choices were included and definitely helped the night go off without a hitch. We were so happy to have him as our DJ and would pick him for any future event! Thank you, Scott!
We were so lucky Scott was available to be the DJ at our event! I have used quite a few DJ's in the past, some better than others, but none as good as Scott!
He arrived early and was very flexible with the situation. Our event was a car show in a public parking lot that had no power! He was not troubled by that and figured out the best placement for his equipment, running an extension cord into an office.
During the show people and cars were coming and going, we held a couple of raffles, and a local councilman stopping by to give out awards. Scott took it all in stride, as I feel he would do with any event.
He played a perfect assortment of music (and had no attitude at all when requests were made). He handled emcee duties for us and was very comfortable in that capacity, as well.
I would highly recommend Scott for any type of event, he's a pro, easy to work with, and to top it all off, he's a really nice guy!
DJ Katie was everything we envisioned for our October wine club party at Hilliard Bruce Vineyards. Scott was extremely helpful over the phone and communication was fabulous through the set-up. They put together a fantastic mix that perfectly suited our setting and Katie couldn't have been sweeter, more easy-going, and self-sufficient on the day-of. We were hearing compliments on the music all evening. They will be our go-to for any other event!
Read MoreScott was the DJ/MC at our wedding at November 8th at villa verano, and it was AWESOME! Everyone had a great time out on the dance floor and the party stayed alive all night.
Scott was lovely to work with throughout all the wedding planning. He was very helpful when it came down to having to decide on specific songs i wanted to hear at specific times.
I felt very confident with Scott as the DJ and if I had to do it all over again, id still pick scott to DJ :)
Scott was the DJ/MC for our wedding on 9/6/14 and was amazing. He really helped us figure out how to put together the flow of the reception as well as plan what music would make the day reflect our own tastes. I can't say enough about how helpful, accommodating and professional he was throughout the entire process.
Read MoreI just used Scott Topper Productions to DJ my wedding. We had the privilege of DJ Katie rocking the event all night. I heard phrases such as "your DJ was incredible, the dance floor was packed all night" from guests. My wedding was a dry event -- usually a DJ's nightmare! Even so, the dance floor was going strong the whole evening and the music variety was exactly as I hoped it would be. Many thanks to DJ Scott Topper and Katie!
Read MoreScott was the DJ/MC at our wedding on June 21st, 2014 at Villa Verano in Santa Barbara and we couldn't have been more pleased. Having a DJ that could keep the dance floor packed and the energy high throughout the evening was extremely important to both of us, and Scott hit it out of the park. We had multiple people tell us how good the DJ was during the night and in the few weeks following the wedding.
In addition, in the months leading up to our wedding, we would attend friends weddings and were definitely more cognizant of the "little things" that go into being a great DJ that sometimes get overlooked. Scott was absolutely spot-on when it came to these little things that ended up being so important. To start, he was very organized in his approach and extremely easy to talk to and plan with in the months' leading up. The day of; he made sure the ceremony music was the perfect volume and started and ended at the right times, his announcements during dinner and the reception were clear and heard by all and the transitions between each were seamless.
We would absolutely recommend Scott for any event, especially weddings. Thank you Scott!
Scott Topper recently DJ-ed our wedding at the Santa Barbara Zoo and I'm so glad he did! To be honest, at first we were a bit nervous about hiring him. The zoo has a very small list of approved music vendors and you have to use one of them. Scott Topper definitely had the most professional website out of the bunch but we didn't really trust this mandatory list and we both had DJ friends of our own whose tastes we knew and liked. But,
Scott Topper ended up being perfect. He and his assistant moved things along seamlessly and the parts he MC-ed were fun and appropriate. We ended up feeling relieved that we hired someone who had wedding experience because he did a lot more than just play songs. He helped us during wedding planning to decide when certain toasts and events should happen. He even facilitated a very fun Hora!
My husband and I are music nerds and we didn't want any surprises- any songs that rubbed us the wrong way to unexpectedly play so we ended up giving Scott a really long playlist. We expressed our concerns and he said that because we had given him such a big list he wouldn't have to use any outside music and so we were able to relax knowing that only our picks would be played. It was pretty cool during the reception to notice some of my favorite songs playing in the background- I thought "oh, I love this song!" and then remembered that I had picked it!
The PA system ran smoothly during the ceremony and reception and there was never any dead time. At times I wondered how he was going to cue the music when he was on the floor about to announce something and then I'd remember he had his assistant who seemed to be perfectly in sync with him and what was going on.
I would recommend Scott Topper for any event. I would like to especially let couples who are getting married at the zoo know that if you are stressed about having to pick from this limited list of approved DJ's, don't worry! Scott Topper's your man!
My wife hired Scott Topper to DJ my birthday party at the University Club of Santa Barbara and he did an awesome job!! All the guests had fun and danced! He brought a photo booth that was a great addition to the fun activities and he set up amazing lighting that transformed the place and set the mood. When it was time for background music he hit it just right. His prices were really fair and he gave many packages to choose from. We highly recommend Scott!
Read MoreWe recently got married in May 2014 and we had Scott Topper as our MC & DJ. He did an amazing job!! We could not be happier with our choice in selecting Scott for our wedding. He was very happy and fun throughout our wedding and made sure that all of our guests were having a great time as well as keeping my husband and I updated on the timeline of events. We had an amazing experience and we would highly recommend him for any event!!
Read MoreScott did such a phenomenal job, we don't even know where to start in explaining it! His fun loving, friendly personality shines through in every part of his work. Scott was incredibly detail-orientated and did a great job walking us through the timeline of our wedding reception. He gave us many suggestions and asked us questions to help him best serve our needs. Scott didn't just play music for us - he kept the entire reception on track with speeches, toasts, special dances, cake cutting, garter tossing and more. Scott was a phenomenal emcee and we couldn't be happier with the wonderful job he did. We highly recommend him as a deejay and emcee, and wouldn't go anywhere else when planning future events. Thank you, Scott!

The quick version is Scott recently served as the DJ for our wedding in Santa Barbara. We could not be more pleased with how everything went and would recommend him without hesitation.
The longer version:
- Communication was excellent from start to finish. Scott responded to our initial query, and any and every other e-mail, in under 24 hours. Scott was friendly, courteous and professional in each and every e-mail he sent.
- Though Scott offers additional services (photo booth, light packages, etc.) there was never any pressure to add on anything we didn't want. Scott was very respectful of our wishes and needs, making it great to know the other services were available but never making us feel like lesser customers for not wanting to go for every add-on.
- The reservation and evening planning process could not have been easier. Forms and contracts are straightforward with nothing sneaky hidden in the fine print.
- It felt like Scott made a real attempt to get to know us, then offered really helpful ideas and suggestions for music and other elements of the evening about which we may have been uncertain.
- On the most base music level, Scott abided by our rather eclectic music preferences/cues and didn't complain once about any of the specific requests we made. Scott also completely respected our music tastes and "do not play" lists, all while doing a fantastic job of reading the event and offering a great music selection beyond our particular choices (though everything we requested was played).
- Sound quality was excellent during both the ceremony and reception. Not always an easy task at an outdoor event but Scott nailed it and clearly didn't cut any corners.
As stated above, our experience with Scott was top notch and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality DJ.
Scott was the DJ at our wedding and also set up a photobooth rental through Action Photobooth. I have nothing but good things to say. He was VERY organized and professional, and was more than just a DJ, he was also like a day of coordinator! We met for about an hour going over my ideas for the day, and he helped me to fine tune the details and gave me clever ways to get everyone involved in the party and on the dance floor. During the last few weeks leading up to the wedding he was especially helpful in answering my questions and accommodating my ideas. He is very good at communication, whenever I e-mailed him he would get back to within 24 hours or less - which is very helpful for a stressed out bride!
The day of the wedding he was on time, helpful, and really stuck to the plan that we had created. Scott has a very good feel for the energy of a party, and he definitely knew which songs to play at the right moment to get everyone involved. He dealt with guest requests really well and played all of the songs I had requested. Before big things like the cake cutting or father daughter dance, he would briefly come find me to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be so no one missed the important moments. It was SUCH a fun night, and I really do think that Scott made it extra special. My husband and I weren't originally planning on getting a DJ, and now having gone through the experience I can say hands down it is EXTREMELY important to have someone professional that will do a good job. Scott is DEFINITELY that person.
Also, I will leave a separate review for Action Photobooth, which Scott also organizes, but if you are looking for a package deal he will provide you with a great photobooth as well, it was SO MUCH FUN!!
