This band was fantastic!! They played for my ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (three pieces), and reception (8 piece band). They were definitely the highlight of the night! They never said no to a single request we gave them - including playing a piece written by my own grandmother. I received so many compliments about their performance, and they kept everyone up and dancing all night. Our only issue with them is that they started our father/daughter dance song too quickly so we were thrown off, but no one seemed to notic!

DJ Triplicate

  • DJ

  • Serves Kinston, AL for additional fees

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”

This was a great experience and Trey was amazing! We hit every song and vibe I wanted. And he was super flexible with the rain squeezing down the wedding timeline. He also makes great music sets!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a very small, intimate wedding, but knew when we started planning that we wanted to have live music during our ceremony. After doing some research into violinists, we found Rachel and loved her vibe. She is so incredibly sweet and the range of music she is able to play is hugely impressive (from pop, to oldies, to film scores, to country, to Bollywood)! On the day of the wedding, we had the absolute pleasure of having Rachel (on violin) and Stephanie (on cello) play our chosen music. Our guests were enthralled by their talent and let us know how much they enjoyed listening to Rachel and Stephanie play. Thank you, Rachel and Stephanie, for adding that extra sprinkle of magic (especially for our private first dance) to our wedding day.
