We Loved them! Vibe & Vision made the process so easy for us, they were very detailed in their questionnaire and really captured the VIBES we were going for! DJ A-Wall kept people on the dance floor all night!! We had so much fun! We chose the photobooth and cold sparks as our add-ons and we loved it! The cold sparks were a great touch to our entrance and first dance. We even got compliments from our bar and other vendors that we had the best/fun music! They were also great with communication throughout the whole process. Book Vibe & Vision Productions!

From my first call with JJ Essen, I knew his team was a good fit. He was prompt, communicative, and organized. He assigned Scott as our DJ & Javier as our photobooth attendant. Scott was equally communicative & organized. He set up multiple calls throughout the process, and was super flexible with us when we had to change our venue & timeline 3 weeks before the wedding. I sent Scott some specific songs, but also shared my Spotify playlists, and he made sure the entire night was popping! The dance floor was full all night, as Scott played banger after banger. He really nailed my music taste! And Javier made the photobooth so fun for my guests! They also sent me the link with everyone’s photobooth pictures the week after our wedding, which was so incredible!

We cannot recommend DJ Neema enough. He is the BEST of the best. As a musician and dancer and coming from American (Texan) and Indian backgrounds, the music for our wedding was very important to us. Historically, we’ve found wedding DJs to be subpar. Between the poor choice in songs and the lack of beat matching ability, we‘ve always had critiques about the DJs when we attend weddings. From the initial consultation to the wedding day itself, DJ Neema was dedication to making the musical experience authentic and meaningful. Initially, we interviewed two DJs and DJ Neema stood out with his impeccable mix that seamlessly blended our eclectic music tastes, from Houston rap to Bollywood hits. On the wedding day, he worked his magic, keeping the dance floor alive the entire time — keep in mind that this was a daytime and a completely dry wedding! His ability to read the crowd and curate the perfect vibe for the event was truly impressive. When it started sprinkling, neither our guests nor DJ Neema wanted to stop so with the help from some friends, they constructed a cover for DJ Neema’s set up with a table cloth and dry cleaning plastic and kept the party going (see pic)! Just incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Neema to anyone looking for a musical maestro who goes above and beyond to make your special day truly yours.

DJ Isaac’s was quick to respond when first inquiring about his services. Was very detailed in conveying the information. Very fair in pricing. His communication was professional, punctual and effective, making it that much easier during the planning. On the day of the party, DJ exceeded our expectations - him and his team were friendly and professional, busting out with some great tunes.

Uptown Drive

Austin, TX
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $5,000

Our goal is to curate the perfect entertainment at every event to execute our client's vision from start to finish. Uptown Drive has a very diverse song catalog that is well suited to serve as the soundtrack to your wedding reception or to be featured at your corporate event. We also offer an amazing interactive (live band karaoke) element to our corporate shows which is a total hit! We love to highlight our musicianship while playing the best dance songs from the Motown / Soul eras all the way through the hits of the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today’s top 40.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty much speechless because this band is THAT good. I first want to compliment, Greg Williams, the owner of Uptown Drive. From booking all the way through wedding day, he was nothing but responsive, respectful and a pleasure to work with. As for the reception, they made it what it was! I think what is incredible about them is they entertain everyone (not only those dancing on the dance floor) because every song is a TRUE performance. I am not lying when i say this, every time I have seen someone that attended my wedding, every one of them (young or old) comment on how great the band was. FYI I'm three months out from my wedding, so I've seen a lot of my guests since then. They played the right music while everyone was eating and visiting and knew exactly how to transition to dance floor time by doing a conga line. They let my husband and I get on stage and sing which we will remember and cherish forever. They came out into the crowd and let out our guest sing. They came out in the crown and danced with us! Me and some of my guests joke that we would like to have another wedding just so we can have them play again. I could absolutely not recommend this band anymore! Stop here and BOOK THEM!!! P.S. I have included some pics to show you how much of a good time me and all our guest were having. - AN EXTREMLY HAPPY BRIDE

Mr Austin Dj

Austin, TX
  • DJ

Christian brings over 22 years of experience to your wedding or special event and is highly acclaimed as a premier wedding professional in Austin and high performance DJ worldwide. If a busy dance floor, music sound quality, volume control, customized music planning, infectious and enthusiastic MC’ing, high caliber DJ mixing skills is a priority at your wedding or special event contact Christian to set up a consult and vision sharing call or in person meeting.

We knew Christian from the wedding industry (I’m a venue owner in Austin) and his DJ sets at clubs around the city. When my wife, Kari, and I decided to get married in Tulum, we knew the music and party were going to be some of the most important aspects of the day—it sets the tone for everything: the ceremony, pre-ceremony vibes, the walk, dinner, reception, and of course, the party. Christian went above and beyond. He met with us, listened to our vision, and even challenged us where needed to ensure we got the experience we truly wanted, rather than trying to make everyone else happy (which, let’s be honest, you can’t). That perspective was invaluable. We trusted Christian so much that we chose to book him and have him travel with us to Tulum rather than hiring someone local. We knew he was the absolute best man for the job, and he proved us right. The result? The best day and party of our lives. To this day, people STILL talk about how epic it was. Christian had everyone dancing—friends, family, parents, aunts, uncles, kids. The energy was unmatched, and the music flowed seamlessly through every part of the day. If music is a priority for you—if you truly appreciate the art of it and want it to elevate your wedding or event—Christian will not disappoint. A world-renowned DJ and producer who knows how to curate the perfect experience, he’ll make your day unforgettable.

Doug Anthony - Solo Guitar Austin

Austin, TX
  • Solo performer

I have been playing guitar in Austin, Texas... ...since 1989. I am a full time musician and I perform regularly for corporate events and weddings. Even though I have been playing the guitar for so long there is still so much to learn. I enjoy the process of learning new things and improving on what I already know. There are endless ways you can play a song and there are so many good songs to play. I was born in 1966 so I am heavily influenced by the music around that era which explains The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and The Great American Songbook.

As a wedding officiant since 2006, I have worked with Doug countless times. Whenever I show up at a ceremony and see him there I get really excited for multiple reasons. First and foremost, he is a wildly brilliant guitarist. Second--he is so calm and pleasant and professional. I know the ceremony is going to be fantastic in large part because of his presence.
