The things couples ask before they book. If yours is not here, call or send a message and ask it.

Yes, both, all night. Every announcement is made in Farsi and in English, so the family who flew in from Iran and the friends who only speak English follow the same evening. The entrance, the sofreh aghd, the knife dance, the toasts and the timeline of a Persian wedding are run by someone who has done them hundreds of times and can switch language mid-sentence when the room needs it.

All of it. Northern California and Southern California both, from San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay down to Los Angeles and Orange County, and plenty of places in between including Napa and Sacramento. If your venue is somewhere not listed on this site, ask anyway.

Your quote is a single figure for your date and your venue, with travel already accounted for. There is nothing added afterwards.

Persian and English, mixed the way the room needs it. A Persian wedding usually moves between traditional ceremony music, Persian pop and dance floor tracks that everyone knows, and the job is reading which one the room wants next. If your celebration blends two cultures, that is normal work here, not a special request.

Through the music planning app. You build your timeline in it, from the ceremony prelude to the last song of the night, add the songs you want and the ones you never want to hear, and share it with anyone helping you plan. It is free for you, it works on iPhone and Android, and it means nothing about your music is left to be guessed at on the day.

Yes, MC work is part of the booking, not an add-on. Announcements, keeping the reception moving from one moment to the next, and reading the room on timing are all handled alongside the DJing.

Yes. Ceremony audio, cocktail hour and reception are all covered, including a separate sound system at the ceremony location when it is not in the same place as the reception.

Both. Sound systems sized to the room and the guest count, uplighting, intelligent lighting and dance floor lighting are all available, and there is a page on this site showing the packages and what each one includes.

It depends on the length of the day, whether the ceremony needs its own sound system, the size of the room, and any lighting or cold sparks you add, so the honest answer is a quote for your date and your venue rather than a menu price. The services page explains what moves the figure. Send the date, the venue and a rough guest count and you will have a written quote, with travel already inside it.

They are fountains that throw a bright spark effect several feet into the air without fire, smoke or odor. The sparks are cool to the touch, which is why most venues allow them indoors where they will not allow real pyrotechnics. Always confirm with your own venue first. Sizes, pricing and photos are on the cold spark machine rental page.

$250 per machine with a two machine minimum, so $500 for the pair, and $275 for delivery, setup and two hours of an onsite technician to run them.

Call (408) 334-4499, email info@djmian.com, or send the enquiry form on the contact page with your date and venue. You will get a straight answer on availability, and a quote after that.

Once the agreement is signed and the deposit is paid. Until then the date stays open, and popular Saturdays do go to whoever books them first, so it is worth asking early even if the rest of your planning is not settled.
