I believe music has a way of bringing people together and that energy is at the heart of every set I play. I offer a range of packages that include music, sound, lighting and emcee services all tailored to fit the vibe and flow of your event. What sets me apart isn’t just the music but the intention I bring to each evening. I take pride in reading the room, collaborating closely with clients and making sure every celebration feels both seamless and unforgettable.

Weddings

I take the time to truly understand each couple’s tastes and preferences so the music reflects who you are, not just what’s trending. From your ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, I curate a soundtrack that brings your family and friends together on your special day. Expect real club energy with no cheesy playlists. As both your DJ and Emcee, I keep the event flowing seamlessly and the room alive all night. For multicultural celebrations, I also offer bilingual emcee services in English and Vietnamese to ensure every guest feels included.

Corporate & Private Events

Skip the predictable background music. I create custom, high-energy sets tailored specifically to your brand delivering an experience that feels like a live club set, not a shuffled corporate playlist. Previous clients include Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Intel.

Who is DJ Cinnaminh and where do you perform?

I'm an open-format DJ and emcee with over 15 years of experience specializing in high-energy weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, Carmel Valley and Napa/Sonoma.

What sets DJ Cinnaminh apart from typical wedding DJs?

I provide a unique, curated musical experience for your event, bringing nightlife energy and seamless open-format mixing. I have an eye for reading the room and a confident, polished mic presence to ensure your timeline runs smoothly.

Do you offer bilingual emcee (MC) services?

Yes! I offer professional bilingual emcee services in both English and Vietnamese. This is ideal for multicultural weddings and family celebrations, ensuring all guests and family members feel included and engaged throughout the event.

Yes! I provide bilingual emcee hosting for traditional Vietnamese tea ceremonies to guide your guests, honor family elders, and celebrate your heritage. I love helping couples seamlessly incorporate traditional customs into their wedding weekend.

Can you help us design our wedding timeline and flow?

Absolutely. Hiring a DJ who knows how to emcee is one of the most powerful combinations you can work with. I love helping my clients plan the right flow for their wedding day by outlining key transition points so the energy ebbs and flows naturally.

Do you offer emcee-only services?

Yes! Please reach out if you're looking for a professional emcee for your event.

Music

What is your DJ and mixing style?

My style is open-format, rooted in reading the energy of the crowd rather than relying on pre-made static playlists. I blend Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Top 40, EDM, K-pop, Indie and multi-decade throwbacks (80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s) customized to match the energy of your guests.

Can we customize our playlist and "Do Not Play" list?

Absolutely. I work closely with every client to prioritize their music preferences, custom requests, and "Do Not Play" lists for cocktail hour, dinner, and open dancing.

Do you take song requests from guests?

Yes, as long as it aligns with your vision. Your custom playlist and "Do Not Play" list always take priority, and I filter guest requests to make sure they match the vibe and flow of the evening.

Do you have mixes I can check out?

Yes! You can listen to DJ Cinnaminh's sample mixes in the music section of this site or on SoundCloud.

Services, Equipment & Logistics

Do you provide your own sound, lighting, and equipment?

Yes, I provide high-end, professional audio equipment for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions, including wireless microphones, lapel mics, and dance floor lighting. For add-ons like photo booths, uplighting or custom monograms, I partner with trusted specialty vendors.

Are you insured and can you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?

Yes, I carry full liability insurance, and a Certificate of Insurance (COI) can be provided directly to your venue upon request.

What types of events do you DJ?

I specialize in weddings, corporate kickoffs, holiday parties, brand activations and private celebrations.

How do we book you and what is the payment schedule?

Once we confirm availability, connect to learn more about your wedding, and sign a contract, a $1,000 retainer deposit secures your date. The remaining balance is due 1 week prior to your event date.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes, I'm available for travel outside the Bay Area! Reach out with your event location and details, and we can map out the travel logistics together.

How many weddings do you perform annually?

To maintain a high level of intentionality, detail, and custom curation for every client, I cap my schedule at 25 weddings per year. I recommend reaching out early to reserve your date!
