Jacksonville, FL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $750

I believe music is the backdrop to all our most memorable moments in life. I started DJing because my love of sharing music with those around me. My goal is to help make your special moments unforgettable.

DJ Sway's services were provided by a friend as a wedding gift. We established contact by email and then we had two or three phone discussions with me and my wife. We had a small wedding of about 70. He had a great selection of music. and played the participation dances we wanted. He kept things moving when things slowed down. We didn't do a lot of traditional things because we're an older couple but he actually helped explain things to me that I didn't know anything about I had no idea what a dollar dance was. And he helped me learn what was going to different things were common in today's weddings and helped us decide what we did or didn't want and payed attention to the things I did not want. No chicken dance!! Android working with him very much and would not hesitate to hire him again.

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.

We booked String Theory's string quartet for our prelude, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour, and they were hands-down one of my absolute favorite parts of our wedding day. I am honestly so overwhelmed with (positive) emotion when I think about what they added to our day that I don't even know where to start. As the bride, you're really running around a lot during the lead-up to your actual ceremony. We were kind of running late, so when we got to the venue itself I wasn't really focusing. Suddenly I realized I was hearing a string quartet playing, but they were executing the music I'd selected so flawlessly, I thought I was listening to a professional recording until I remembered that it was LIVE MUSIC played at MY WEDDING. I was absolutely blown away and the emotion of the day just hit me in that moment, and I genuinely believe it was enhanced by the strings! I did a private first look with my dad and they started playing music from Lord of the Rings that I'd selected and honestly it felt like I was in a movie. The emotion was that much more powerful and I still get emotional thinking about that moment. Our guests were absolutely raving about them as well, and in every video I've seen, they are playing often challenging pieces flawlessly. My ONE regret is that I did not get to sit and listen to them more, and like...what a regret to have! Allison was so wonderful, warm, professional, and lovely to work with. String Theory is the best and I am currently finding myself trying to plot events to book them for so I can personally experience more String Theory! Thank you so much to Allison and her team for making our wedding the stuff dreams are made of!

Chez Entertainment

Jacksonville, FL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

What do guests remember most about a wedding? The entertainment. The reality for most is that the DJ is not at the top of their list of to-do's, nor are they a high priority on the budget list. This is a big mistake. Hello, I'm Joseph, the owner of Chez Entertainment. Why choose CHEZ Entertainment for your special day? Because we truly love what we do. We strive to provide a unique service that caters to you. The DJ not only caters to your musical and lyrical taste, but to your own individual personality, the photographers and videographers will capture your memories, and the photobooth will be so much fun for your guests.

Joseph and his wife Gina were truly amazing . They were easy to communicate with and on point with responses . They both were extremely helpful when our planner had to cancel, the music was exactly what we asked for and the preview of the photography is absolutely stunning . I will definitely be highly recommending them in the future .

Future Stereo DJ and Photo Booth

  • Starts at $2,000

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.

I can't recommend Amplify enough. I'm a wedding photographer and photographed a wedding in Florida last year that Nate was the Dj at. I've been all over the country photographing weddings and Nate is hands down the best I have ever worked with. When I got engaged I knew I had to have Nate be our DJ. We brought him to Kentucky and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Your Dj truly sets the tone for your wedding reception and can make or break it. The whole reception went by smoothly and exactly what we had in mind. Our crowd loves to dance and we had 5 hours of open dance floor and he kept the party going the whole time, the dance floor was PACKED! His energy & personality is like no other. All of my guest bragged on him and didn't want the party to stop.The whole booking process was so easy and organized, his response time is so quick, & and was so helpful through the planning process leading up to the wedding. No one I would recommend more! Book with amplify!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

I would recommend Thomas a million times over. He was very interactive and professional. It was super easy to work with him. From the 1st time we met, I knew my wedding was going to be a good time. He made sure my wedding went on time, as planned. He worked very closely with the event manager at the venue and acted as a wedding planner! After my wedding, everyone asked how I found him and one of my friends is considering getting married just so he could be the DJ at her wedding!! There are not enough positive things to say about Thomas! I am so thankful I found him. Can not say enough, he was fabulous!

Chris was amazing to work with, we are so glad we picked him to DJ for our reception! He was a recommended DJ from my venue and from the first moment we contacted him he was fun and efficient. At the wedding, his set up was really nice and professional looking for both the DJ booth and the photo booth. Whenever we had questions leading up to the day and afterwards, Chris and his team responded extremely fast. Our family aren't big partiers but Chris brought out a fun vibe for everyone to enjoy and we had a lot more dancers than we thought we would. Our 4 year old niece was on the dance floor the entire night! The photo booth was also a huge hit and we got some awesome photos of our guests that way as well. Highly recommend!

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most. It is critical that you entrust it to a professional who will take the time and care to craft an experience that is impossible to forget. With me, above and beyond is an understatement. Music is my life, and it is such a massive honor to be able to provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest days of your life.

DJ Triplicate was such an incredible choice. From our initial consultation, he was empathetic and compassionate about our situation. We had to split up our payments due to finances being tight but that did not affect how he was eager to understand our vision, and incredibly prompt in every communication. It was beyond obvious that his efforts were above and beyond what we paid for.
