I love to travel!

Below are some recent quotes and bookings, all included full ceremony, cocktail, dinner coverage plus uplighting.

The Party has arrived with DJ Maskell!
If you're looking for a DJ who goes *above and beyond* to make your wedding or event absolutely perfect, look no further than DJ Maskell! From the moment we first spoke with Mark Maskell, we knew he was the right fit. We interviewed a few DJs, but the instant connection and professionalism we experienced during our first Zoom call with him set him apart. Mark shared a detailed Google Doc with us during that call—a thoughtfully organized template covering everything from music planning to seating arrangements, budget, guest list, and even a photography section. His philosophy is truly remarkable: even if you don’t book him, he still wants to help guide your planning process. That level of generosity and care is rare! When it came to our wedding day, DJ Maskell exceeded every expectation. He turned our reception into a high-energy, club-like atmosphere, complete with stunning dance floor lighting and uplighting to set the perfect mood for the venue. Months before our big day, he went out of his way to visit the venue, taking pictures and videos to help us envision the space—a thoughtful gesture we deeply appreciated. On the day itself, Mark was a lifesaver. From ensuring our officiant had a microphone to running up with a spare when we began reading our vows, he was always one step ahead. He handled last-minute changes—like switching the groomsmen's entrance song and adding a bridesmaid’s speech to the programming—with ease and professionalism. Mark even offered practical tips throughout the evening, like suggesting the perfect time to mingle with guests during the meal or reminding us to check our teeth before photos (which was surprisingly helpful!). And when it was time to hit the dance floor, he *brought the party*! Everyone had a blast, thanks to his incredible playlists and his ability to read the room. He also sent us Spotify playlists in advance to help us get a feel for his style, and his planning spreadsheet had space for must-play songs and a "do not play" list, ensuring the music perfectly matched our vibe. DJ Maskell was more than just a DJ—he was a planner, problem-solver, and all-around fantastic person to work with. We can’t recommend him enough! If you want someone who genuinely cares about making your wedding or event unforgettable, DJ Maskell is the one to call. Thank you, Mark, for making our special day truly magical!
Mark is amazing!
We booked Mark to DJ on our wedding day, but he did so much more than that. We didn’t have a coordinator, as it was a smaller wedding, so Mark stepped up and essentially acted as the coordinator. We had several zoom calls leading up to the wedding to touch base and run through everything. He offered a ton of good advice and details we wouldn’t have thought of. He came a day early to set up all of his stuff, so that the wedding day would be smoother and less stressful. He is energetic and upbeat, which was much needed during all the emotional tears throughout the day. The lighting/light show was beyond incredible for the dance party, photos couldn’t do it justice. He played all of our must-play songs, and definitely got the vibe of what music we like for other moments. He is very self-sufficient with travel and set up, which is a huge relief when having to manage everything else. He has a wealth of knowledge in the wedding space, extremely attentive to detail, and can do it all. He really cares about your wedding day being the best it can be. Highly recommend using Mark!
MVP OF OUR WEDDING!!!
Mark was hands down THE best part of our wedding! He was so helpful during the whole planning process. Any questions we had he gave us the best advice. He doubles down as a “Day of Coordinator” as well, making sure the timeline is down to a tee. The lights he set up in our reception was like nothing I’ve seen at any other wedding. He even had us throw down on the turntable and it was such a fun and unique moment that everyone loved!! It really was electric during party time! Mark is also so friendly and personable. He was our favorite vendor to work with. My advice is to stop scrolling now and BOOK THIS MAN for your wedding!!! You will not regret it. THANK YOU MARK FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!
We love Mark!
