🎧Porsche 911 Launch (Hoehn Calrsbad)

TESTIMONIAL: The best DJ ever! Mandy Mixes is your girl for ANY event! She played exactly the type of music we requested and truly did not disappoint. She pays so much attention to detail and really went above and beyond to make sure our event was a true success. Highly recommend! Blanca, Event Coordinator

PLAYLIST: The 911 Porsche was first released in 1966 so they had me play a mix of music from the 1960s to now. 

Wedding: Marc + Victoria (Lakehouse Hotel)

PLAYLIST: The bride & groom had a very specific list of songs and I was happy to play them and in the order they wanted. Everything from Jazz to the YMCA to some Heavy Metal! They had a super fun 1st dance to 2Pac’s California Love!

TESTIMONIAL: We love DJ Mandy! We hired her to DJ our wedding, and she did an outstanding job of taking charge only when necessary, and letting things flow the rest of the time. She is a super-nice and super-fun person and she DJed the event flawlessly. I would give her 10 stars if I could (out of 5). She made my wedding an even more memorable event than it was already, I I give her my highest recommendation. Thanks DJ Mandy, you’re the best! – Marc, Groom
