Nicole C. says, " Omar is the absolute best! We had our wedding at Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club where the outlets and everything for his setup were not in the most convenient locations. Omar worked his magic and made every detail from the ceremony all the way through the reception run flawlessly. He responded to every communication we sent him; even throughout the pandemic. He was attentive to all our specific requests as to music, announcement and timing. He added in lighting effects for the reception; and, even added in some surprises catered to our wedding vision. Plus, he is extremely affordable in an industry of overly priced services. None of our guests wanted to leave or have the dancing end at the conclusion of the wedding because of Omar's expertise. We could not have been more ecstatic with how Coast2Coast Sounds handled our wedding and encourage everyone to use his company for any of their upcoming events!" Read more

I have been a professional MC/DJ for over 18 years, providing music and entertainment at over 2000 different events. My clients speak highly of me, and continuously refer me to others, because I am organized, personable, professional and technically talented. I takes time to personally get to know my clients, because I believe that each event is a unique expression of the client’s taste, and the music and entertainment should be the same. My collection of music not only encompasses 70 years of well known songs, but includes a large selection of cultural music also. I use only state - of - the - art equipment, which is very impressive.
