JJ did such a fantastic job at our wedding this June! 3 things really stood out about him! 1) Attentive JJ Really paid attention to what I wanted our wedding day and reception to look like. Everything went so smoothly on the day of because he had really paid attention and gone over every detail of the timeline I had typed up. He was so fun and energetic and really got the party going! He customized our playlist too so that all my favorite songs got played at the wedding. 2) Professional Even though he is definitely fun and outgoing, he was very professional in all his text messages and emails and phone calls. He is very personable and friendly, but sticks to what needs to be accomplished. I really appreciated that. 3) Available JJ gave me his cell phone number and email address. He responded to texts within minutes and was very prompt in answering my questions. I honestly didn't realize how important a DJ was for a wedding until I had seen a few go very wrong and get awkward because the DJ messed up the schedule...JJ was fantastic and the night flowed so well because of him! I highly recommend him to anyone who is needing a DJ! Thanks so much JJ! Aaron and I appreciate everything you did for us that day!

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!!

Awesome DJ. We were on a budget wedding, so we couldn't utilize all he has to offer, but DJ Phil was perfect. He came on time, was ready when we were ready, and was very responsive on the chaos that was my wedding day. He had a wonderful, organized method for keeping track of all our music selections and played all of our must plays. He has a good skill for mixing and the songs flowed so well into each other. I couldn't be happier with our choice of DJ and will go directly back to him if we have need of a DJ again.

Austin, TX

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.
