Hello! My name is Tony Coppola and I’d like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself and CC King Entertainment. I began my musical journey when I was 12 years old as a singer and drummer. Over ten years ago, I built a home recording studio and named it CC King Studio. Shortly after, I DJ’d my first wedding and CC King Entertainment was born! After DJing hundreds of weddings, my business allowed me to leave my 16-year career as an occupational therapist. I ALWAYS go the extra mile to personalize my wedding services. I also have the distinct honor to work with an amazing team of Michigan wedding DJs!

I have to start by saying that our friends and family enjoyed DJ Troy so much that they continually chanted his name throughout the reception. From the moment we first spoke with Troy, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear, comprehensive, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond to be incredibly flexible with our less-than-perfect backyard dance floor setup - what a champ. He even incorporated a special cultural tradition dance we requested without advance notice (oops, thanks Troy).
