String Theory Music 

5.0

Jacksonville, FL
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $400

With over 20 years of experience, our network of professional musicians is dedicated to sharing our love of music with the community. Whether you're planning a wedding, private party, corporate event, recording session, or in need of orchestra or small ensemble music, we've got you covered. Let String Theory Music set the tone for your event with beautiful music that will create an unforgettable ambiance.

Incredible. I would give 100 stars if I could! We booked String Theory Music to play during our wedding ceremony this past Saturday. I cannot say enough good things about them. From the very first interaction with Allison, she was so friendly, personable, and easy to work with. She took the time to answer all of my questions and gave her professional input, which was invaluable to us. I found their prices to be very reasonable and fair for the services and level of quality they provide. They have an extensive song repertoire, but if the songs you want aren't on the list, they even offer commissioned arrangements at a very reasonable rate and will learn the new songs for you! String Theory has violinists, cello players, but I really wanted a piano player too, so I booked a piano player to accompany them through another website. Allison took point on managing interactions between the musicians, and musicians collaborated together while needing very minimal direction and input from me, so they made the process very easy for me. When it all came together on my wedding day, we were absolutely blown away. They don't simply just play notes, they play it with so much passion and emotion. Their professionalism, artistry, and dedication to their craft is evident. It was the highlight of our whole wedding! If you are on the fence about booking them, please, just go ahead and do yourselves the biggest favor and just DO IT! You will never be disappointed!!

We had Deron play two nights of our wedding weekend and he exceeded expectations on both occasions. The first night he played ambient music for a small ceremony we had with close family, and perfectly complemented the ceremony without being overbearing. The next night he played at our rehearsal dinner playing a mix of modern and classic songs. He even learned some songs that we requested and was definitely a crowd favorite. We hope to have him play for us again soon.

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Jacksonville, FL

DJing is one of my life's passions and my full-time career. I'm dedicated to creating the perfect atmosphere at your wedding. ​ Together, let's discuss your wedding details: the vibe of your wedding, song selections for your ceremony, how I'll orchestrate your first dance as a married couple, preferences for remixes and mash-ups, whether you want to kick off the dance party with classics, and where you want the energy in the last hour. Are you leaning towards EDM, a 2000s throwback set, pop-country, pop-punk, singalong classics, nu-disco, or...? ​ Elevate the vibe with a boutique wedding DJ experience. High Fives and Good Vibes

Hello, getting married person. I'm Matt, the owner of Future Stereo. I know; why am I reviewing my own business? I signed up for an account with Zola and was asked to ask ten people to review my business. I was curious how Zola would message my list, so I added my personal email address as the 10th email, and that's why I'm writing this. Are you still reading? Check out what a venue manager said last Saturday while I was packing up. "It's refreshing to hear different music at a wedding. Most DJs play the same music every night." You deserve a DJ who will curate a unique experience based on your style, from MCing and music selection to sharing trends and custom ideas for your wedding. Hit me up. I'd love to hear about your wedding plans. Thanks, Matt

He made the pacing of the night really fun and he did all the announcing. He is very easy to reach and easy to talk to.

We used Amplify for our wedding and it was the best decision that we made!! Usually a dance floor splits into groups, but Nate Long took the room and engaged everyone to the center together. He was worth every single penny and elevated our experience to a whole new level. Everyone told us that this was the best wedding and reception that they have ever experienced, people were even telling me they wanted him for their wedding too. If there was a way to give more stars we would!! Thank you Nate, love Ethan and Dilan 05/02/24

We cannot recommend DJ Eddie enough! He went above and beyond to help me execute a surprise for my husband during our ceremony, which involved playing a special song featuring the voice of his late mother. It was executed flawlessly and turned out to be one of my husband’s favorite moments of the entire day. As for the reception, the dance floor was never empty! Even family members who rarely dance were out there having a blast. So many guests told us, “The DJ was playing all the best tunes!” His song selections and transitions were perfect, keeping the energy high and everyone engaged. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, detail-oriented, and truly knows how to create unforgettable moments, look no further. They made our wedding absolutely magical! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect! Hope these sneak peaks from our photographer (Jacal productions) capture the magical moment and serve as proof of the amazing time we had on our big day.
