Who We Are

In our opinion, music affects memory in a powerful way. It’s like a language or a smell. You hear a song and it can snap you right back to a time or an experience and it can draw out feelings and emotions as if it’s happening right now. 

All this to say: at Pacific Entertainment, we believe in the transformative power of really freaking good music and we are always excited to build out the soundtrack of your wedding day in a way that feels personal to you and your love story.  

 
 

Meet our Founder, Bryan Thrane

BEGAN IN 2006

Bryan Thrane graduated with his masters in Communication from San Diego State University. He worked as a College Communication Professor during the week, and a wedding DJ on the weekends. He had big dreams of making his weekend hobby into his full-time job someday. (after all, who wouldn’t want to play music and make people happy for a living?)

Spoiler alert: He did it.

Over the past 20 years, Pacific Entertainment has grown to become one of the most sought after, premier DJ companies in Southern California, winning The Knot “Best of Weddings” nine times and the Wedding Wire “Couple’s Choice Award” 10 times. Now an industry leader, Bryan and his team of DJs have performed for thousands of satisfied clients for all types of occasions spreading throughout the world.

Bryan has trained a team of DJs by combining his teaching skillset with his passion for music. He has built his company around the highest standard of quality, experience, and professionalism.

The Pacific Entertainment Team is united in the simple goal of providing a more customized and personal approach to music curation for your wedding day.

 
 

Meet the Team

Kind words

  • The day of the wedding couldn’t have gone smoother. We had some playlists put together, and Conor did a great job understanding the vibes and flow of our wedding. The most important thing to myself and my husband was that our guests had fun, and thanks to Conor, they did! He was even sweeter in person, and got along so well with our other vendors which was also a plus! Thank you for a night that we will never forget!

  • We booked Pacific through our venue Twin Oaks and I am very glad we did. The very few issues we had were worked out seamlessly through emails with their team months before the wedding. The communication and customer service are wonderful here. Caleb was our DJ at the wedding and he did AMAZING! People were dancing all night and the music was great. Thank you Caleb for a wonderful night!

    -Maddy B.

  • John was great and super helpful ahead of our wedding and helped advise on what type of music to play, and even a mother/son song! Very nice and organized group. Also a really natural MC, nothing felt forced and helped bring to life our less traditional ideas. Highly recommend!

    -Savanna S

  • We hired Bryan as our DJ for our wedding and this was probably the best decision we have ever made. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed the songs played, and the games even more. Compared to other weddings many have attended, they agree ours was the most fun they have been to because of you! Thank you so much for incorporating so many of our favorite and special songs into our day. It felt completely surreal to have it all tie together. We could not have made a better decision in hiring Pacific Entertainment!

    – Trang N.

  • Was spot on! Caleb was great, fun, kept everyone moving and was a pleasure to work with. Prepared and communicated well for our wedding!
