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.

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!
