Emerald Empire Band is AWESOME because there are so many choices of instruments and artists. We worked with the producer, Ward, who made great song suggestions and we were able to stay within our budget. The #1 priority for our wedding was a super fun and energetic band with a variety of songs that all ages would enjoy. Ward made this happen! Guests of all ages were out dancing during the ENTIRE reception. My uncle said he couldn't remember the last time he danced so much! Guests sang & danced until the very end. There was a perfect mix of songs & energy for our crowd. We had so many guests and staff at the wedding come up to us saying that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. They couldn't believe the enthusiasm of the band. On a side note, they were also very timely and professional. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Marlon with Go DJ ATL was a wonderful vendor who clearly has plenty of experience in his field. He can read a room at a moment’s notice and keep a party vibe going with a variety of musical styles. I can testify considering our wedding blended White and Latin families and loved ones together while managing to get everyone out on the dance floor having a great time! He played salsa, merengue, bachata, line dances, country, oldies, classical, folk all in one event but at different points! Marlon lights up a room without taking attention away from the guests of honor but rather makes sure he directs the spotlight to the couple making them feel special. He is truly a one of a kind professional with a passion for his trade who wants to make sure your day is as special as the love you share with one another. Marlon, you’ve become a friend one the course of this past year; thank you for everything and for all the attention to detail you made sure to cover. I’m so grateful we had you at our event. I know it wouldn’t have been the same or nearly as successful without you!

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

I wish that I could give Phil 10 stars for all his amazing work. I could tell he was going to be a great asset to our wedding day long before the actual day of the wedding. He communicated well with me in the days leading up to the wedding. He made sure that everything we wanted was accomplished. Phil was the perfect balance of professional and personable. We could not have hired a better man for the job. Our day-of timeline needed to be changed several times during our reception, but not once did Phil let us stress about it. He took the initiative to get with our photographers, and he is the whole reason our reception ran smoothly. It was very professional of him to recognize the need for someone to lead our vendors through the reception. I truly can’t say enough good about Phil. Several guests made it a point to tell us that our DJ was amazing and the best they’d ever seen at a wedding. He kept the reception light-hearted and fun. If you’re looking for the best DJ in Atlanta, you need to hire Phil. I guarantee he is the best around!!!! *on a side note, we had several very religious people attending our wedding, so per our request, Phil kept the reception free of explicit tracks. I was nervous about this because I wanted all guests to have a great time regardless of religious views. Phil found the fine line between both types of guests and made the reception enjoyable for everyone.

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

Welcome to Dancefloor Delight, the premier wedding DJ company dedicated to making your big day an unforgettable experience! Our team of experienced and professional DJs is committed to providing top-quality entertainment that will have you and your guests dancing all night long.

On the day of the wedding, Dancefloor Delight truly exceeded our expectations. They arrived early to set up their equipment and made sure everything was in place before the reception began. Once the party started, the DJ kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. They played a great mix of music that appealed to guests of all ages, and seamlessly transitioned between songs to keep the party going. One of the things that really stood out to us was how the DJ took the time to get to know our preferences and incorporate them into the playlist. They also did a great job of reading the crowd and adjusting the music as needed to keep everyone engaged. I would definably recommend!
