When I first created Carl Mindling Music I made a conscious decision not to ever become a high-volume DJ company. The reason why is because I believe in working fewer events so that I am able to give more attention and personalized service to each of my clients. After all, every event is a special event so my top priority is the enjoyment of my clients and their guests. I also love music. I love listenting to it, playing it, going to concerts and collecting it. This means you get a seasoned professional DJ who loves what he does and cares deeply about the success of your wedding, celebration or party.

Single-event focus - Your event will be my only event that day.
Professional equipment - I use only commercial grade audio equipment.
Professional presentation - My custom painted podium will complement any setting.
Undivided attention to detail - As a full time event professional I know what matters! You can trust my expertise to guide you in your decision making process and through your special event.

Experience. My company is strictly owner-operated. For over thirty years I have been entertaining at wedding receptions, company parties, class reunions, picnics, birthdays, retirement parties, anniversaries, fundraisers and fashion shows. I perform at every event so you are guaranteed one of the most experienced DJ's in Northern California.

Carl MindlingReputation. I am very proud of my reputation within the wedding industry as a highly qualified professional who has exemplary business ethics. I am reliable, pay attention to details and am an accomplished team player on the day of your wedding or event.

Music. Most D.J. companies will advertise they provide a wide variety of music and large libraries are even more common with the advent of digital music. The mass of popular music can be overwhelming so I work with my clients in advance of their events to keep it manageable.

For the enjoyment of your guests I can display a list at your event with hundreds of the most popular songs available. Your guests are invited to step up to my song directory and make requests. All of the songs are categorized by music styles for easy reference and browsing.

Availability. The Number One Frequently Asked Question: "Are you open on my date?"

It's also one of the biggest challenges in the special event business because the demand for quality entertainers well exceeds the supply on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I am not a high-volume company. I believe in less events and more attention to my customers. This higher customer service also extends to people I cannot help due to availability. Please call or e-mail me so we can find out if I am still open on your date. If not, I promise to do my best to refer you to a quality company. I am able to do this by maintaining the calendars of a few other DJ's making your call to me a productive one even if I'm already engaged on your date.

Local Knowledge. The Bay Area is my home. I have worked at nearly every event facility in the area. I have a strong working knowledge of all the wineries, mansions, hotels and country clubs. I know the best ways to access the stages and performance areas. I come prepared with the appropriate equipment and staff to safely move my sound systems.

Equipment. I use only digital audio. I feature Shure Microphones, Denon Audio, Rane Mixers and Mackie speakers. All of my components are permanently mounted in custom cabinets.

Full Time Service. I make a full time commitment to my business which means you get full time service. During the week I am meeting clients and preparing for my weekend events. I am easy to reach during normal business hours and yet flexible enough for evening appointments.

Pricing. I always base my fees on the scope of work. I provide DJ services for many different types of events and not all of them involve the same amount of planning, travel, time, equipment and labor. Please call or e-mail me with specifics so I can provide you with an exact price.

One more important thing about my pricing is that it is all inclusive. I do not charge by the length of my performance and there are no hidden charges or ala carte add-ons. Let's chat so that you can tell me about your event. Text or call me at 408.298.7710
