About Caliber DJs
California’s Premier professional wedding DJ services for your event. Serving wine country, the Bay Area, and all of California.
Your wedding is the celebration of a lifetime, so let’s make it one to remember!! Caliber DJs was founded by midwest transplant Nate Seider as an offshoot of Chicago’s highly successful Style Matters DJ collective. What started out innocently enough turned into a big realization: our friends were asking us to DJ their weddings because they couldn’t find a wedding DJ who played any of the music they liked!! And being located in Chicago- one of the world’s greatest incubators and testing grounds for amazing DJs- we quickly realized our talents were not only several cuts above your average cheesy-tuxedo-clad-button-pushing wedding jocks, but also in high demand to those who could tell the difference.
And so Caliber DJs was launched in the Summer of 2013. Our goal with this business is simple- to create a sophisticated, custom music program for every event based on our clients’ personal tastes, and to give you the funnest dance party you’ve ever been to in your life! As service industry veterans, our level of attention to detail is impeccable and is a valuable resource for every client we work with, whether that includes timeline planning, multiple PA’s and microphones or ceremony sound. We have become a favorite of many venues and planning teams across the Bay Area and beyond and look forward to helping you to create not only the perfect musical atmosphere for your event, but also the best dance party you and your guests have been to in years.
We also use Technics 1200 turntables for every gig! All of our DJs have decades of experience and got into the industry because of their love of great dance music and sharing that music with the world. Our dedication to the art of mixing remains intact and enthusiastic and we insist on using turntables at every gig. No dude in a cheesy tux pressing Play on a CD rack, we are a collective of true professionals dedicated to creating the party and keeping it going until the last record is played. Because it IS a party after all!

Nate was so much fun to work with and incredibly professional. He was flexible and responsive throughout the process, and was totally happy to jump in and provide music for our ceremony when we decided not to do live music, and also to come with us to another location for the afterparty (and promised to play until we closed it out!). He did a great job of taking our (short) list of must-plays and likes, and adding his own touches. The music selections were fantastic not just for the dance party, but also for dinner, cocktail hour, etc. And, he was a great emcee, saying all the things he needed to say but staying in the background. (We've been at some weddings with overbearing emcees and they are the WORST... Nate just could not have been more professional). And, the fees were very reasonable, especially given that he was with us from ~2pm until midnight! Only two flags: the music was a bit loud during the wedding and we had to ask him to turn it down, and the mic didn't work at the beginning for my dad's toast (he fixed it midway through). But both relatively minor things in the grand scheme of things. We would recommend working with Nate! read less

We loved working with Caliber for our wedding. They were organized, had great communication and excellent equipment. Most importantly, our DJ- DJ Olga T - was the best, and our dance floor was fire. Would 100% recommend.

I think Nate may be the best dance floor reader I have ever seen. He is also very professional, made sure we got the music we wanted and didn't play anything we didn't. By the end of the night we were holding our lights up for an encore. The night was complete with every dance imaginable. We had couples dancing, line dancing, dancing in a circle, group dancing, solo show off dancing, splits in the air dancing, reverse worm dancing, break dancing. I can't imagine my wedding with any other DJ. Did I mention we didn't have a single no show at our reception? I like to think some of Nate's charm played a part. Do yourself a favor and book this super talent yesterday. Then you can be like me, people coming up to you saying how much fun they had at your wedding. Million Thanks Nate!! read less

Nate was our wedding DJ and he did an absolutely phenomenal job. Let me start by saying he was great from the start. He is very responsive, always responded quickly to my emails and answered all of my questions. We had an in person meeting with us and he was so warm, kind and genuine we knew we had to book him. He was great with getting to know what we were looking for as far as music and what we wanted for our MC. I also surprised my groom with a performance and Nate was amazing coordinating that and never let on! Nate went the extra mile and even did a site visit with us and spoke to our location prior to the wedding day. The day of I could not have asked for a better MC or DJ. He is great at reading the crowd and knowing when something needs more time or when to speed things up. Invaluable on a very long day. He also got everyone out on the dance floor! He played something for everyone! From my 65 year old aunt to my 22 year old sister everyone had a great time on the dance floor. He made our day so special and I have only the best things to say about him. Thank you! read less

His MC skills were essential to keeping the flow of the event going (from ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception), and everyone loved his music. Dance floor was full all night. In addition, he was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process - he came to my neighborhood to meet in person and discuss plans twice! That level of service really helps put your mind at ease when you're planning a wedding. THANK YOU NATE! read less

Not only did he keep our guests on the dance floor the ENTIRE night, he set just the right mood and ambiance for the lower-key moments of the evening as well during cocktail hour, dinner, etc.And he really worked his magic making our ceremony sound crystal clear despite some insane, out-of-the-blue wind that descended right before the ceremony was set to start. We just watched our video of the ceremony and from the sound alone you couldn't tell there was any wind at all (our hair blowing around in the wind was a different story, however ). Thank you so much Nate, we had such a blast working with you! read less

We booked him as our DJ for our wedding in San Francisco last month (April). He was responsive, accommodating, and easy going throughout. We met briefly in person ahead of the wedding to review music preferences which was really helpful to get to know Nate and be comfortable that he "got it" -- he did! Nate helped to keep things moving along from cocktail hour to dinner service to cake cutting and onto the dance floor. He absolutely nailed the music selection and we had a full dance floor from the start through to the final note of the last song. We were thrilled! read less

He is extremely responsive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and our interaction with him gave us confidence that he would be the best DJ for our wedding. There were a couple of unique challenges with our wedding that Nate had to handle and he handled it very smoothly. Not only did he have to work with us to make a custom mix of the song we wanted to walk down the aisle to the week of the wedding (our fault for procrastinating), we found out later that he also had to secretly coordinate with our wedding party on executing a surprise flash mob for me and my wife. Nate is very good at being flexible and rolling with the punches, getting creative when needed, and that's why we would highly recommend Nate and Caliber DJs for any event! read less

Along with our family and friends, we were delighted with the music Nick selected and the embellishments he added to a diverse list of artists and genres we sent over in the months beforehand! Nick is a true professional, was a pleasure to work with, and was always responsive from our initial inquiry up through the event itself. He even arrived an hour ahead of schedule on the wedding day to ensure that there was plenty of time to set up and accommodate any last minute contingencies. We truly feel Caliber DJs helped to make our event special, and could not recommend them highly enough to anyone seeking a memorable soundtrack on their special day.-Karen & Matt, Sacramento, Oct. 2017 read less

Music is a huge part of our life, so of course it was going to be a huge part of our wedding. Nate's easy manner, professionalism and experience as a club DJ made us confident that he was the man for the job. Our outdoor venue on a friend's expansive ranch was not the easiest, but Nate worked with us to make it all happen. We threw in a few curveballs as we neared the big day and he handled every request from providing mics, sound and hitting our recessional song right on cue. We gave him a playlist of contemporary, jazz, Motown, 70s, 80s, etc and he ran with it big time. All the while he played to the crowd and looked like he was having a great time along with us. Nate, thanks for making our wedding magical & memorable! read less

He kept close in contact all throughout our engagement, was super responsive to emails, and was overall just perfect to work with. On our actual wedding day, he played the BEST music that kept everyone on the dance floor. We gave him a list of about 15-20 songs for the overall vibe of our wedding and he took care of the rest.I would definitely recommend Nate as a DJ to any event, but especially something so special as a wedding. read less

We made things as complicated as possible for him, requesting a mix of russian, Jewish, Latin, and American music to please our very mixed crowd, and he made the dancing more fun than I ever thought possible. It was by far the best wedding playlist I have ever heard and made everyone dance so much I was afraid the older people at our wedding were going to collapse. He also mic'd several live musicians we had, and set up in 3 different places at our venue, all the while charging less than almost every other DJ we spoke with.He met with us before the wedding and was SO professional. We couldn't recommend Caliber DJs more highly. read less

The guy had turntables and actual records, played good music, and had everyone out on the dance floor, which was refreshing after having recently attended a couple of other weddings where the music and the dancing were.. lacking. So I immediately asked this friend who their DJ was, and we were introduced to Nate with Caliber DJs.We first met with Nate, who was incredibly nice and helpful and he recommended Nick for our wedding. After meeting with Nick, we knew we were in good hands and didn't need to look any further for our DJ. Working with both Nate and Nick was such a joy, especially after having dealt with some awful wedding industry vendors. Caliber DJs clearly knows how to help you throw an awesome dance party - they send you a thoughtful and thorough questionnaire, and both Nate and Nick offered to help us however they could, even beyond music related questions. While we included our favorite bands in the questionnaire and had several "must plays", we knew we could turn the rest over to a professional. Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with. When we showed up to our wedding reception, Nick was ready to go and had things under control. He graciously changed our timeline at the last minute to accommodate extra speeches and handled music requests like a champ, as well as the lingering and curious children who were in awe of DJ Nick and his turntables. Nick gave us the dance party we wanted - we got multiple compliments about it throughout the night and everyone danced, from young kids to grandparents. We highly recommend Caliber DJs. They will be your favorite vendor to work with and give you exactly what you are looking for. read less

Though I've known Nate for a while and I've seen him perform in his non-wedding-DJ persona and had high expectations, he totally blew me and my partner away during our wedding day. First off, Nate knows the industry in and out, and can provide excellent recommendations for great vendors. We live in San Francisco, but we got married in Chicago, and his experience in the wedding industry was invaluable in finding reliable, quality vendors. Our wedding was held at Ovation, a venue associated with Nate's previous wedding DJ collective and to our surprise, Nate was going to be out during our wedding weekend. We were honored when he offered to DJ our big day. After a few conversations we were firmly on the same page about what we wanted at our wedding and who our real audience was. He expertly choreographed the intro, processional, and recessional music. Using his best professional DJ voice he MCed the entire evening and added a well-polished sheen to the event. Once it came time for dancing, he did a great job fitting with the spirit of the music we wanted. He was weaving together songs and kept a great mood to the entire evening. After a few rounds of drinks, and when we were ready to really dance, he turned up the energy and turned our wedding into a super fun dance party. If you want an A+++ wedding DJ, Nate and Caliber DJs is the place to go. read less
