Music that feels like you: A curated, heartfelt approach to wedding soundtracking
Heart of Gold DJs is a women+ DJ agency based in San Francisco, serving weddings across the Bay Area and Northern California. Founded in 2013, they represent some of the region’s most musically passionate artists: Radio hosts, working musicians, vinyl collectors, and true music lovers who bring depth, taste, and intuition to every set.
Their philosophy is simple: music is the heart of every celebration. It sets the tone, shapes the energy, and becomes the memory people carry long after the night is over. That belief is what built Heart of Gold DJs and what drives them to create wedding experiences that feel meaningful, personal, and completely true to each couple they work with.
Unlike traditional wedding DJs, Heart of Gold avoids clichés and gimmicks. Instead, they bring a refined, music-first approach inspired by decades of collective experience. Their DJs are experts at reading a room - moving effortlessly between Motown, Indie, New Wave, Hip-Hop, Swing, Pop, and everything in between. Whether it’s an elegant winery in Napa, a modern loft in San Francisco, or a coastal ceremony in Marin, they build a soundtrack that reflects the flow and personality of your day.
Heart of Gold DJs has earned the trust of major brands like Google, DoorDash, and PlayStation, along with hundreds of couples who swear by their ability to turn a wedding into a moment: a true, lived-in, unforgettable experience. After over a decade of word-of-mouth growth, the alternative agency continues to be known for their musical integrity, professionalism, and their commitment to creating events that sound as good as they feel.
With a proudly queer and trans-inclusive foundation, Heart of Gold DJs values individuality, authenticity, and connection. Their goal is always the same: to craft a wedding soundtrack that feels like you.
Meet Caity of Heart Of Gold DJs, your wedding DJs in San Francisco:
"Hi, I’m Caity of Heart of Gold DJs and someone who believes deeply in the power of good music to transform a moment. I joined Heart of Gold back in 2016, long before stepping into ownership, and had the privilege of working alongside the original founders, Allison Peck and Erica Shwanke, for nearly a decade. Their vision of building a space for women+ DJs who truly love music, is what shaped this agency, and it’s a legacy I’m proud to carry forward.
When it comes to weddings, my philosophy is simple: your celebration should sound like you. Your story, your style, your energy. We listen closely, curate intentionally, and bring a thoughtful, heartfelt approach to building your soundtrack. No cheesy wedding tropes, no cookie-cutter playlists — just great music, warm energy, and a room full of people having an unforgettable time.
It’s an honor to be part of these moments, and I’m grateful for every couple who trusts us to help shape the sound of their day."
