Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor and a fun & stress-free experience from a top industry professional you can trust! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; let me make music the easiest part for you. I’ve been creating memorable experiences for all couples and all love, for over 17 years; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the crowd, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, interacting with the crowd, and working with all the other vendors to keep the event running smooth.

Marty was literally the best decision we made for our 5/18 wedding! From ceremony music to cocktail hour to an epic dance party reception he kept our guest engaged and having a blast all night! We added 1 hour of live music to our reception and cannot recommend that option enough it was so fun and interactive and got everyone out on the dance floor. I have received so many compliments on the "wedding DJ" and even have been asked by a few guests for his contact information for their own events. Thank you so much Marty! The Williams wedding loved you!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had.
