I was absolutely blown away by Essen Entertainment at our wedding. JJ is so easy to work with and will bend over backwards for you. We had him play acoustically for before our ceremony, during our ceremony, and at the cocktail hour. He even learned a song especially for the wedding party processional that we requested. He is so talented! He also wrote an original song for us to dance to at the wedding. Definitely a must! My fiancé hadn't heard it before the wedding so it made for a very special moment. JJ was great at reading the crowd on the dance floor during the reception. I had so many compliments about the music and how full the dance floor was all night long. JJ pays great attention to detail and sent us a detailed itinerary for our event. He was great at making sure everything moved along just as planned. Definitely consider Essen Entertainment for your next event! You won't be disappointed!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about U7! I recently planned my first ever wedding and Ramsey was a true lifesaver. One of the first to arrive, and one of the last to leave, he really provided more than just the music. Ramsey listened to what the Bride and Groom wanted, gave some really helpful opinions, and kept the vibe right while ensuring everything remained on schedule, he is an absolute master of his craft. U7 was incredibly easy to work with, professional, and more than fairly priced, highly recommended for any event!!

DJ Phil Does It

I'm an event DJ serving Central Texas with more than 18 years of experience rocking parties. I love taking requests and work long hours to custom tailor music selections to the mood of my clients' events. I bring all of my own gear so, if you give me a power outlet, I can start a dance party. I also MC receptions and can run sound and microphones for ceremonies and presentations.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Phil was a great DJ, definitely book him! He was professional, on time, and prompt in his responses during the time leading up to our wedding. His system on deciding songs was easy, and he was helpful in figuring out what we may want as we weren't super helpful for our wedding choices when first meeting with him. The day of our wedding he was great for the ceremony, and able to provide sound in multiple locations due to a change of weather. For the dancing, he had a knack for feeling our wedding crowd and getting everyone dancing! So many of my friends say they haven't danced that much and how much fun it was--I have DJ Phil to thank for that. I had a friend sing a song, which Phil set up easily, and he took requests and was patient with crazy requests. He also seemed to really enjoy DJing. I had so much fun I had blisters on my feet the next day from dancing! He made the music at our wedding great, thanks Phil!!!

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.

Sienna Strings took our wedding to the next level! Bands were going to be too expensive but we wanted something to supplement our DJ, so we hired Sienna Strings to do our ceremony and cocktail hour! Very reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with. They were professional and very responsive to communication. They were extremely accommodating and went out of their way to include a large repertoire of traditional Irish music at our request! Samantha was incredibly kind to place their best fiddle player within our string trio to provide the best quality Irish music. For cocktail hour we had them play more traditional wedding music along with new hits and they knocked those out of the park as well! Sienna Strings listened closely to our selections and played everything we dreamed up! Their music was beautiful and completely elevated the ambiance of the day. We would use them over again in a heartbeat!!!

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.

Doug Anthony Solo Guitar is at the top of my A-List of go-to acoustic guitarists in the Austin Texas market. What I arrive at a venue to officiate a wedding and I see that Doug is the guitarist, I know it's going to be perfect! I've also had the pleasure to see him out and about playing in different pubs around town, and at private events. He never disappoints. I highly recommend Doug Anthony Solo Guitar for your next event.

I love to bring my passion and knowledge of what makes a private party dance set work to your event! I want to make your special day a seamless process, and most importantly, I want to get everyone singing and dancing together

We loved having Radiogold play at our wedding. I’ve been friends with Chris a long time and so it was really special to have him and the band play. Dance floor was always crowded and hopping! They played a diverse range of songs: pop, rock, 80s, country… and everything ran super smoothly with them leading the schedule! People kept coming up to us to say “the band is so amazing, and this is the best wedding ever!” I’m confident Radiogold was a huge part of why everyone loved it so much. I’d recommend them to anyone who’s looking to make their wedding really special and a lot of fun.
