THE PERSON BEHIND THE MUSIC
I’m Kevin Veigel, the DJ and MC behind DJ Kevlar and Anything But Average Events.
I moved to California in 2016 and began my DJ career in 2019. Since then, I’ve helped bring over 700 celebrations to life across Orange County and Southern California—from weddings and milestone birthdays to school celebrations and corporate parties.
My approach combines great energy, confident hosting, and music that connects across generations. I read the room, bring people together on the dance floor, and guide the celebration while keeping the spotlight on you and your guests.
Behind every celebration is thoughtful preparation and attention to detail. I work with you on the music and moments that matter, keeping transitions natural so you can relax and be present for all of it.
My goal is to be more than your DJ—to get to know you, share in the excitement, and feel like a friend celebrating alongside you. Because even if I weren’t behind the decks, I’d want to be there cheering you on.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR EVENTWeddings first. Great music, thoughtful hosting, and a room full of memories.
ENHANCEMENTS
DJ and MC services set the pace. Lighting shapes the atmosphere. Together, they make every moment feel like it belongs to you.

Clear sound for vows, readings, and those once-in-a-lifetime entrances, with music timed to each moment.

Music that welcomes your guests, fits the mood, and carries the celebration naturally into the reception.

Color and movement that bring the party to life when it is time to dance.

A wash of color that gives your space a finished, personal feel.

Keep the energy going with music for the next part of the night, shaped around your venue and timeline.

Give your guests another way to make memories. Ask about adding a photo booth through a trusted event partner.

Let your guests leave heartfelt messages, funny stories, and well wishes. A personal keepsake of the voices behind your celebration.

Your names or initials and event date, projected onto a wall. A personal detail that makes the space feel unmistakably yours.

Keep music and announcements connected across separate spaces. An additional sound setup brings clear audio to another area of your venue.
GOOD TO KNOW
A few answers before we talk about your day.
I handle the music and the microphone for weddings, company events, holiday parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and other private celebrations. Music and hosting are tailored to your event and guests, keeping the experience connected from start to finish.
Dance floor wash lighting, uplighting, and monogram projection are available. A monogram can feature your names or initials plus your wedding or event date, projected onto a wall. I can help you choose what fits your space and the atmosphere you want.
Yes. Tell me what you need, whether that’s custom coverage hours, ceremony-only audio, MC-only hosting, or additional audio and lighting. I can help you choose the services that fit your event and put together a proposal based on your date, venue, and coverage needs.
Absolutely. Share your must-play songs, do-not-play list, favorite styles, and any cultural music or special traditions you’d like included. I’ll talk through the specific songs, timing, and hosting instructions with you so the music and moments reflect your celebration.
Yes. I work with your planner and venue team to coordinate music cues, introductions, announcements, and event timing, so we’re working from the same playbook.
No. Setup and breakdown are included outside your booked coverage hours, so that time doesn’t reduce the DJ and MC coverage agreed for your event.
Additional time is $250 per hour, subject to my availability and your venue’s rules. If you’d like me to continue beyond the booked end time, we’ll agree on the extension and its cost before the additional coverage begins.
Yes. Outdoor events require a six-foot table with a linen, reasonable access to power, and adequate covering to protect me and my equipment from sun and weather. Shade alone is not a substitute for weather protection. I’ll review the setup and weather backup arrangements with you and your venue before the event.
Yes. I serve Orange County and events across Southern California. A travel fee applies to venues more than 50 miles one way from my business base, and lodging is required beyond 100 miles one way. Any applicable travel and lodging costs will be included in your proposal before you book.
Yes. I carry liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance to your venue upon request.
Start by sending your date and event details through the inquiry form. We will then have a phone call to discuss the details of your day. Once availability and services are agreed, your booking is confirmed after I accept the booking, the agreement is signed, and the required retainer is received. From there, I’ll work with you on music preferences, key moments, and event details, coordinating with your planner and venue as needed.
A $300 retainer is required, with the remaining balance due at least 30 days before your event. For bookings made within 30 days of the event, payment in full is due at booking. You’ll receive a QuickBooks invoice with available options such as credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, PayPal, or Venmo. Available methods are shown at checkout. Zelle payments can also be arranged directly with me. There’s no extra charge for any accepted payment method.
CLIENT REVIEWS
Kevin was hands down one of the easiest vendors we worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process! He was always punctual, incredibly professional, and clearly very experienced. He made everything easy from start to finish, which was a huge relief during a time when there are so many moving parts to planning a wedding.
He had us put together a list of songs we wanted to hear, along with songs we wanted to avoid, and did a fantastic job bringing everything together. He respected our preferences while also mixing in other songs that fit perfectly and kept the energy going throughout the night.
Kevin was truly the life of the party! He was an amazing DJ and MC who knew how to keep everyone engaged, read the room, and make the reception fun for everyone. Beyond his talent and professionalism, he’s just a genuinely great guy who made the entire experience that much better.
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, reliable, easy to work with, and knows how to throw an amazing party, Kevin is your guy. We highly recommend him!
We hired Kevin to be our Dj and he was so communicative, assisted with our questions, was very fast with responses. We left a lot of song choices up to him and he was able to play songs that we loved, feel the vibe of the room, and made sure to keep people dancing! He made our last song so memorable and had me singing the whole time. As kids born in the 90’s, we were to happy to hear familiar songs we grew up with and got to dance to again! Kevin was always willing to help guide us as we planned and answer any question we had, which relieved all our stress on the wedding day. He really made the day run smoothly and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. Hiring Kevin was the best decision we ever made. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it! Would rate 10 stars if I could!
We hired DJ Kevin for our wedding August 2026. He got us hooked up for music for the ceremony and reception and even MCd and brought lighting. He was SO HELPFUL in the wedding planning process and sent us a worksheet to help us get through all of the music choices we needed to make. We had a very small wedding but Kevin somehow kept the dance floor POPPING all night. We were extremely impressed with his music transitions- every new song that started got everyone excited. Highly recommend DJ Kevin!!
Kevin was such an awesome DJ at our wedding last week! From the first phone call, I knew he was going to be a pleasure to work with. He understood our musical preferences and matched them perfectly from the instrumental music before the ceremony all the way to the music during the reception. He kept the vibes up and read the crowd so well. We had so many compliments on the music throughout the day! You would be lucky to have Kevin as a DJ!
Kevin was our DJ / MC for our wedding. Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! He had fantastic communication and really took the time to understand our vision. We requested a mix of disco and old-school dance classics, and he delivered perfectly—every song kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. His timing and announcements were spot on, keeping the flow of the evening smooth and stress-free. Plus, his easygoing and friendly personality made the planning process so enjoyable. He brought such great vibes to our big day, and we’re so glad we chose him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ who knows how to throw a party!
All I can say is Kevin helped make our wedding absolutely perfect!!!! I gave him 9 1/2 hours of music that was very chaotic and he made it work beautifully ❤️ my guests kept telling me how great the music was!!! Several guests kept saying they were leaving and then they would be back out on the dance floor lol. It was an epic party!!! Kevin feels like one of the family now. The pricing was reasonable and he was so responsive and helpful during the whole process. Do not hesitate, book him now!!!! We will use him for future parties for sure!
I have been a wedding coordinator in Orange County for over 10 years and I've worked with many DJs in that time. Kevin was one of the few that stood out! He showed up early, had a clean set up, and even offered to help me out in any way he could. He was excellent on the microphone, guiding the guests and hosting the evening. He had multiple setups and ran the ceremony audio, cocktail hour, and reception. When it came time for dancing, he had the bride and groom on the floor the whole night. I received many compliments from my couple for referring him and I look forward to working with him again!
Kevin was an excellent DJ from start to finish! Very communicative and responsive throughout the process. We were not the easiest clients to deal with and threw him a lot of last minute curveballs, but he dealt with everything no problem. Great song selection and great MC skills! We really appreciated all his work and he’s just a super cool guy as well!
We had Kevin as our DJ for our wedding! He was exceptional! From the ceremony to the reception to the Dance floor everything was perfect! Great communication from the start to the finish! Highly recommend if you have any event! He always does amazing work!
Kevin was the DJ/MC to our wedding and he did a FANTASTIC job! He was extremely attentive to our request and consistently check in to ensure that everything was going as plan. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!
