I have worked a number events with Matt from Simple Change Productions and his energy is always on level 10. He engages with the crowd on the microphone and on the dance floor. His past dance experience shows when he’s out on the floor teaching line dance and hyping up the kids. Will definitely continue to hire Matt and his team for our future events.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

DJ Sunset

  • DJ
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Athens, OH

I have loved music since a kid. I grew up listening to old Motown, Michael Jackson, Prince, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan, Jimi Hendrix and Hall & Oates. I watched Video Soul on BET and of course I was a MTV kid like any good 80's baby. I became the resident DJ for 78th Street Studios "Third Friday Art Walk", courtesy of Northcoast Promotions in 2022. I infuse sets that varies in genre, style & eras. I strive to provide a set that is enjoyable for all ages. I want to bring you a set that you won't regret and most importantly I want you to have the time of your life.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Sunset for a wedding last year, and they were phenomenal! From the moment the music started, the energy was electric, and it stayed that way all night long. DJ Sunset has an incredible ability to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed with guests of all ages. Their transitions between songs were seamless, and the playlist perfectly matched the couple's unique vibe and vision for their big day. Not only is DJ Sunset exceptionally talented, but they were also professional, punctual, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. They worked closely with us to ensure the timeline and key moments (like the first dance and cake cutting) went off without a hitch, and they handled everything with such ease. If you're looking for a DJ who can turn your event into an unforgettable celebration, DJ Sunset is the one. We can't wait to work with them again in the future! Owner, Camela Lynn Weddings & Events
