On October 12th, we tied the knot and were fortunate to have Brodrick, also known as DJ Smooth B from Any Event Productions, as our wedding DJ. His performance was absolutely outstanding. Throughout the entire evening, the dance floor was buzzing, thanks to his fantastic mix of our favorite tunes. When our violinist had an unexpected emergency and could not make it, Brodrick seamlessly stepped in to provide music and a microphone for the ceremony and music for the cocktail hour as we only hired him for our wedding reception. His communication right from the start was excellent, and we even had a detailed Zoom call in the weeks leading up to the wedding to finalize all the arrangements. Brodrick was incredibly prepared, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to his professionalism and dedication. His exceptional services truly saved the day, and we can't recommend DJ Smooth B highly enough for anyone in search of a top-notch DJ for their special day.

DJ 6th Sense is a native of New Orleans, LA. He has always had a passion for music that feeds the soul since birth. His earliest memories of deep musical inspiration were riding around with his uncle on Sundays, while listening to old school music. 6th Sense served in the USN for 10 years where he was blessed with the luxury of hearing a variety of different styles of music from different places, which translates to his unique spin on being an open-format DJ. A true fan of cultural diversity, 6th Sense sets shine when in his preferred gumbo melting pot-type environments, where his musical selections can reach out to all the people at once.

We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Ronell for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From our first call to the last song of the night Ronell was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. One of the standout features of our experience was how well Ronell took the time to understand our vision and preferences. He worked closely with us to curate the perfect playlist that reflected our style and kept our guests dancing all night long. The mix of songs was spot on, and he expertly read the crowd, adjusting the music to keep the energy high. Not only did Ronell bring an impressive sound system, he also created a fun and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for our celebration. His ability to engage with the guests and encourage everyone to join in on the fun was truly remarkable. We had guests of all ages on the dance floor, and it was amazing to see everyone enjoying themselves. Additionally, Ronell was punctual, organized, and handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. His professionalism and passion for what they do shone through, making our wedding an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend DJ Ronell to any couple looking for a fantastic DJ who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day magical. Thank you, Ronell for helping to create the perfect soundtrack for our love story!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. 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.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves Destrehan, LA

Experience is everything when it comes to picking a DJ for your event. Having more than 22 years experience creating parties, let’s make your party a good one. Starting out at the world famous Cat’s Meow on Bourbon Street in 1995, I learned to play music for a wide variety of age groups. After working several years at Cat’s Meow, I transferred to Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. I have been a DJ there for the last 17 years providing music for every type of event imaginable. Outside of playing events at Generations Hall, I work with corporate event planners, brides and grooms, high schools, and charities.

I hired Ronnie for my wedding last year, and he was an excellent DJ! He worked with us every step of the way: he made sure to play songs I recommend, but also helped make suggestions to keep the party going! He arrived at the location on time, and this is important because the day of the wedding was hectic and overwhelming!

They were extremely accommodating when we asked if they could play a special song for my great-grandmother, and they even let some of our musically-inclined friends sit in with the band.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience with The Hook Club for our wedding. Dan and his team were so easy to work with, and their 5-piece DJ band was the perfect, fun switch-up from a traditional band for our June wedding at Greenpoint Loft. We also had a ceremony guitarist and a saxophonist with tracks for the cocktail hour, which added great touches to the day. The uplights they brought for the room were priced very well and created a beautiful atmosphere. The music planning worksheet they provided was incredibly helpful, and they offered valuable advice on the timeline and flow of the reception, which was a huge help. They were fun to work with, and on the night of the wedding, they absolutely crushed it. The music was fantastic, they kept the vibes high, and their crowd engagement was excellent. We highly recommend The Hook Club for any event. They made our wedding unforgettable!

Sergio was absolutely amazing. He was so sweet and really listened to our music preferences. He checked in with us when he got there and then checked in with us again at the end. I specifically requested him because I'm half Mexican, and it meant a lot to me for him to make important announcements both in English and Spanish, and he did just that! He played great music and was able to smoothly transition from playing music for the older crowd and then playing music when it was time to turn things up! I left it up to him to choose songs for the money dance and he did awesome! I would wholeheartedly recommend Complete Weddings Events and Sergio. The online portal was easy to use and the overall communication with them was great as well!

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”

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

We are an experienced and interactive band based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

Our song list spans a wide range of genres and eras, so you can pick the tunes that mean the most to you.

First of all: during our reception, countless people came up and asked where we had found this band; they were that good!! This band kept our friends and family of all generations on the dancefloor. Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
