About

Professional DJ with 30+ years of DJ experience and experience playing in the clubs, bars and lounges of San Francisco -- an international music city rich in DJ culture.

I love music. It is so much fun to be able to brighten someone's day and liven up and event with good sound, fun tunes and smooth mixing. I enjoy working with clients to customize playlists to ensure that the music at the party is one of the highlights and success stories. I have 30+ years DJing weddings, private parties and I still play in the clubs, bar and lounges of San Francisco (I currently play at BARbarella, Monarch, WISH and Virgin Hotel SF). Music is the pulse of life. It can help make or break an event.

    Sean DJd for our wedding this August, and what a fantastic job he did. We started with a cocktail hour where he played some light background music to the music during dinner ending with all the hits for the dancefloor that kept everyone grooving. My husband is Italian, so Sean chose some great Italian classics to play during dinner which the Italian side of the family really liked, and he also MCd for the announcements etc also which helped the evening flow smoothly! I am a pretty mellow kind of person, and basically let Sean pick all the music for the evening - he did a tremendous job and was very easy to work with as well. I highly recommend him for your next event, and if you are out and about town in SF come check out one of his bar/lounge/club sets which rock also :)

    I would recommend DJ7 for any event and would certainly him them again. He did a great job pre-wedding and the day-of. Sean showed up on time, was very responsive and helpful, and most importantly, was flexible with the timing of the wedding. He also worked with us playing the music for the ceremony and not just playing the reception afterwards. I loved that he had the wedding timeline and that we were able to create our playlist before the event.
    We scheduled an interview before we hired Sean, he was on time and instantly made us feel comfortable and confident that he was the right person for the job.
    We gave Sean our picks for types of music and some of the songs we wanted to hear but asked him to pick most of the songs. This turned out great, he asked lots of questions about our taste and songs we liked and then followed our taste and requests and added his own picks to fill in. He was also open to taking requests from the dance floor, which made my young nieces night when she got to make her request to the DJ.
    I would highly recommend DJ7 to anyone who is planning a big event. He was on time, he handled the set up and take down on his own, not needing any additional help from us, our friends, or anyone around, and he put on a great show.

    Sean was the DJ for our wedding. Hes amazing - talented, great music taste, nice, positive and accommodating. He had the dance floor rocking the entire night. Everyone had a blast. He honored our requests for songs to play and not to play and he also served as a capable MC for the night to keep things moving along. Plus, it was about 112 degrees that day and he didnt complain a bit. Ive also seen him DJ in numerous non-wedding settings and he never disappoints. DJ Seven Rocks!

    My fiance and I hired sean (dj seven) for our engagement party, and also for another large party that we threw. My guests told me that he MADE the parties....hes a really fun dj, and he has such an extensive collection of music, he knew absolutely everything that my friends requested, no matter how obscure and unusual. He can really tell what a group is going to like, and he figures out what to play to maximize the fun factor. His rates were very reasonable...especially for someone with so much DJ experience.

    DJ Seven had everyone out on the dance floor and perfectly timed all the specific (ceremony, father/daughter dance, cake cutting) songs. Seans confident, professional and happy demeanor just added to our wedding and our enjoyment in way you cant put a price on. Thank you!

    Sean was absolutely perfect for my wedding cocktail party, dinner hour, and most importantly late night dance party.
    He was incredibly easy to work with ahead of time. He sent me tons of great information about what he normally plays at weddings over email and Dropbox. I sent him a bunch of feedback about what I wanted to hear and didnt want to hear over email and Spotify.
    He showed up right on time and set up great equipment with his crew quickly.
    Everything was absolutely perfect around announcing the wedding party, starting the first dance, and speeches.
    Once he got started, kids, parents and friends were dancing all afternoon and night.
    Sean understood my desire to make it a real dance party at the end of the night. After sundown, my bride and all our friends were dancing non-stop to great dance tracks: house, disco, nu-disco, indie dance all flowed together.
    After the wedding I heard so many compliments about the music, and its all thanks to Sean bringing it.
    I hope we can work together again for another event!

    Frequently asked questions

    First, we'll talk on the phone or via email.  Then, we will agree on a price and level of services.  Next, I will usually email the client a contract. I require a signed contract and 50% deposit/retainer to bind the contract.  Then I send you my master song list and we review music direction and specific song requests.  I am happy to have you send me Spotify or Apple Music playlists or song lists.  We stay in touch up until the party date so that all details are covered.
