We know Scott from other local events we have attended and so we asked him to DJ my 60th birthday bash this past Saturday. Scott has DJ Ben run the party and we enjoyed every minute of it! He was professional to work with and he really knew how to keep the crowd grooving. Everyone loved the music he was playing which was perfect, and it brought the wild side out of everyone at the party. Overall, DJ Ben definitely helped make this birthday a memorable one and I would hire him again for another major event. Thank you, Scott and DJ Ben!

Scott was so great, I can't recommend him enough. He created such an awesome party vibe for our reception - everyone danced until the very last minute. He was very attentive to our requests, which was incredible because my family is Indian and he went out of his way to find fifty or so Indian songs to play during dinner/cocktail hour. We also had a Hindu ceremony which required very specific music and timing, and Scott handled it perfectly!! Everyone was very impressed with Scott. Besides that, he's just a lot of fun. We met with Scott twice before the wedding, and he was so much fun to work with. He's a genuinely kind and helpful guy. At the reception, he created such a good vibe. I've been to weddings where the DJ is very detached and boring - not so with Scott. He was partying with us and I was so sad when the reception had to end. Book him!

DJ Scott Topper was so fun at our wedding! We're both half Jewish and decided to do a Hora, and I really appreciated that he walked the guests through the whole process since a lot of them are not Jewish and have maybe never been part of one before. It was a big hit! He also extended two hours beyond what we booked him for super last minute, and I'm so glad that we did that! He was great to work with.

Scott and DJ David really rocked the party in Ojai. Our wedding dance floor was packed the entire night. And DJ David even played a few extra songs for us because people would not stop dancing. Scott was so cool and easy to communicate with, and even installed the dance floor himself. Booking through Scott was seriously the easiest part of the wedding planning and the music ended up being one of the best parts of the whole night. I highly recommend Scott for any DJ needs.

Scott Topper was the DJ for my wedding two weeks ago, and it was beyond perfect! He was so friendly and easy to communicate with, and our guests RAVED about the music. The dance floor was packed all night, and everything ran according to plan. I would HIGHLY recommend Scott Topper for any event you need a DJ for!

Scott was the DJ for our wedding this July of 2016 in Ojai. He was absolutely fabulous. We actually ended up finding him at the very last minute--just weeks before the wedding--and he was quick to respond and flexible in making sure that the wedding would be exactly as we wanted it. The evening of the wedding not only did Scott arrive early to set up and make sure everything was organized and ready to go, but during the event he really stepped up. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, and so he made sure to check in consistently with our other vendors and family members to coordinate the whole evening and make sure that it ran as smoothly as possible--and we didn't have to worry about a thing! The music was perfect; our guests all had a blast and commented on how fun and nice Scott was. We would hire him again without ANY hesitation. He is a huge asset to any wedding! Thank you, Scott!

My wife and I are from Philadelphia and we wanted to celebrate our wedding down in Santa Barbara. My wife researched for the best DJs in Santa Barbara and found Scott's show "It's Show Time!" and immediately decided that he was the one! When we booked Scott Topper as our DJ we didn't know how popular he was since he was very humble about it. Our wedding coordinator and our venue mentioned how good he was after they learned he was our DJ. When we met him for our first meeting he was very professional and friendly and he also revealed to that he was initially from Philly too! It was great to learn his history and also helped us learn how far his experience DJ-ing has taken him. We definitely felt very comfortable with him immediately,. He gave us a easy to follow and adaptable outline and he walked us through the process of how we can piece up our song selections per main events of the wedding and how he can adapt the flow of music selection depending on the schedule. It was easy to correspond through email and he was able to answer any questions asked by us or our coordinator. On the day of the wedding, he was awesome, all the music choices went perfectly well together and he was great as the MC too. He was able to work very well with our coordinator on keeping to the schedule. When guests requested songs during the dance section he was respectful enough to come to me and my wife to see if we were OK to push a song into the selection. Overall, it was a great experience having Scott Topper as our DJ and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best DJ around!

Scott was our MC/ DJ for our wedding 5/14/16 at Circle Bar B, just north of Santa Barbara.  Our wedding was a total DREAM and this is in large part due to the amazing services provided by Scott and his team.  We booked Scott for MC/ DJ, up-lighting, and a photo booth.  Scott was extremely organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process.  Scott provided outlines and checklists to help us get our music selection just right.  We had several pre-event phone calls with Scott where we discussed timing, vibe and objectives.  

During one of our phone conversations with Scott, he happened to notice a couple missing items on our agenda, and was able to make some valuable suggestions and contributions that ultimately made our wedding run smoothly and efficiently.  The day before our wedding we decided to move the location of the ceremony and the dance floor.  Scott showed up on our wedding day without any knowledge of the changes we had made, and without missing a beat, was able to re-calibrate his layout and get his equipment set up with out any issue and zero concerns.  Scott's relaxed and professional attitude were much appreciated!  

During the event, Scott and his staff were attentive and courteous.  The music, lighting, and photo booth was exactly what we wanted, and he graciously kept us on task according to our event timeline.  Since Scott is a seasoned event professional we were confident that he would do a great job working our wedding day event, but what Scott brought to the table far exceeded our expectations.  We would highly recommend Scott Topper to anyone in the Santa Barbara area who is interested in having their event be well executed and fun!

Scott was the DJ for our daughter's wedding June 30th. He's got a great energy and personality. He made it easy from the start by giving the bride and groom a list of potential songs they might want. They were listed in categories to simplify their choices. 

He is charismatic and can really read the crowd. The dance floor was full on night.
When the party was coming to an end, and the last song was played the crowd starting chanting, Scott, Scott, Scott... No one wanted it to end. 

We would recommend Scott Topper Productions for any event or party.
He looks and is professional in every way.
And is a joy to work with.

Scott was so awesome! He was our DJ for our Awards Ceremony and Dinner for Yardi Systems. We were scrambling last minute for a huge star wars themed event and we didn't even have a chance to go through a dry run of a huge star wars production with actors and sound effect and star wars music. Scott did his research and was able to improvise on the fly and make it a fantastic event. He truly wowed everyone. Highly suggest Scott for corporate AND social events.
Thank you again Scott!

Scott was super friendly and fun to work with!  He took our suggestions and also read the crowd for the next song that he would play.  He was also very very accommodating when the weather took an unexpected turn and we had to move the part inside! He's a professional and it shows!  Everybody was very happy and had a blast at our wedding.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to follow through and make sure this company gets the kudos it deserves.  Our wedding was in September of 2014.

We got Scott's name from a very close family friend.  He had been the DJ at their wedding and since we were looking for a DJ for our wedding, we were shopping around.  

Scott was so helpful and was able to work with our budget.  He constantly stayed in touch with me and was so understanding and patient with me when I was trying to work out the order of the wedding, cocktail hour, reception, etc.

Scott had another party that he was already DJ-ing on the day of our wedding, so he arranged for us to have DJ Katie.  We were a little unsure about having a female as a DJ, as neither of us had ever attended an event with a female DJ.  We saw a few videos of Katie at work and felt good about having her at our wedding.  We were, however, pleasantly surprised at how well Katie handled it all.  She was absolutely wonderful and EVERYONE enjoyed themselves immensely.  She controlled the evening and made everything run so smoothly.  

We were happy with all of it and we received so many compliments from our guests.  
One aspect that really made the whole evening stand out from other weddings was having the party song before dinner was served.  Have never been to a wedding that had dancing before dinner and it was awesome.  Everyone was on the dance floor and it was so unexpected and enjoyed by all.  Guests still tell me that was one of their favorite parts of the reception and I have to agree.

I learned many things while planning our wedding, but one thing I was taught was that you want to make sure you spend the money to get a great photographer and a great DJ.  There are other areas where you can be more budget-conscious, but those two are the ones that you'll regret if you don't spend the money for outstanding quality.  I wholeheartedly agree with this.  Scott Topper Productions and DJ Katie were worth every penny.  The DJ sets the tone for the WHOLE reception and Katie made ours memorable--a night we will remember forever.

We highly recommend this company!!!

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.

I 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!!

I 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!

Eric R. | Santa Barbara, CA

Scott 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!

Scott 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!

Scott 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.

Scott 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!

Sandie M. | Porter Ranch, CA

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!

Scott 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.

I 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!

Evan K. | San Diego, CA

Scott 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!

We 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!!

Scott 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!
