It was so easy to work with Exemplar Sound and we enjoyed having Christian as our DJ! We had an older crowd but me and my younger friends were on the dance floor all night and he made sure to keep the party going- even coming out on the floor to dance with us! The only suggestion I heard from my friends was there could have been a better job of reading the room- not many slower songs were played while the older couples were still there and I’m sure that would have gotten them on the floor. Overall our experience with Corbin and the team was smooth!

David with HiMotive Entertainment was easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding. He was direct in answering all of my questions. Unfortunately, he came down with COVID shortly before our big day. However, he assured me he had a replacement available. I didn't learn until afterwards that his replacement drove all the way from Florida to Virginia through Tropical Storm Debbie to ensure he could perform at our wedding! This level of dedication was so appreciated. Both musicians were prompt, friendly, and helped make our special day feel even more special. The music really brought our venue to life and set the tone for a fun, romantic evening celebrating with our nearest and dearest.

I truly cannot recommend them enough. I can confidently brag that we had the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. We saw them perform at another wedding and booked them in between sets they were so good. For ours, we had a 7 piece band perform for the reception and it was so incredible (Motown, funk, oldies, and pop). They brought great energy and the music was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests. They also did the audio for the ceremony and cocktail hour (just recorded songs, not live) and MC’ed the whole event. It went so smoothly. We filled out an extensive form they have and then met to review the plan for the day. It went off perfectly and flowed so well. Definitely worth asking for Kelley the pianist because he’s also a great singer. My one note is we got a wireless mic for the ceremony and there was a little delay in the audio so it was a little disorienting to speak like there was an echo. It making reading vows a little hard. So I’d recommend either talking to them about that or going with a wired mic, maybe.

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.

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.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). 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!

We got married 5/20/23. I started the search for a band early on as I knew I wanted one with experience, talent, and good reviews. After months of searching I finally stumbled upon Top Tier. I quickly could tell this was the band. Their promotional videos did a great job showcasing their talent and wide variety of music. From slow beautiful ceremony music to rocking reception jams- they truly can do it all…and very well! JD is the main contact for booking and was so helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. Planning a wedding is stressing is stressful! JD asked what we wanted for our day and made it happen. Our dance floor was packed all night! I mentioned to JD that I’d love to get a conga line going- he picked the perfect song and even brought his guitar out on the dance floor! Needless to say we had an amazing conga line and evening thanks to Top Tier. If you’re searching for a quality band that is experienced and reliable I can’t recommend them enough!

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”

DJ Triplicate is a huge mentor to me. He's quick to give advice based on his vast experience and is always willing to help. The quality of his work was top-notch - and I've seen him provide an awesome, professional, smooth, and grooving performance that keeps guests dancing all night. Trey is a consistent DJ who always delivers on a great event, with legendary playlists and smooth mixing. I'd have him DJ any event, as he will never let you down. Highly recommend!

Ryan Shephard was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding singer. From our first call, his communication was thorough and consistent. He was incredibly kind and made the whole planning process easy. On the day of, his quality of work was detailed, he was very prepared, and he had fun positive attitude. Ryan learned multiple songs just for our wedding and traveled a long distance to be there, which we really appreciated. Everyone at our wedding LOVED him! His voice was amazing and really added the vibe we wanted to our wedding. He was also flexible with using songs we wanted from Spotify and playing live music. We couldn't have asked for more. He is phenomenal!
