They were extremely accommodating when we asked if they could play a special song for my great-grandmother, and they even let some of our musically-inclined friends sit in with the band. Their professionalism and flexibility really made the night flow smoothly. If you're looking for talented musicians who know how to liven up a party, I highly recommend booking Capital City Soul!

DJ 6th Sense is a native of New Orleans, LA. He has always had a passion for music that feeds the soul since birth. His earliest memories of deep musical inspiration were riding around with his uncle on Sundays, while listening to old school music. 6th Sense served in the USN for 10 years where he was blessed with the luxury of hearing a variety of different styles of music from different places, which translates to his unique spin on being an open-format DJ. A true fan of cultural diversity, 6th Sense sets shine when in his preferred gumbo melting pot-type environments, where his musical selections can reach out to all the people at once.

We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Ronell for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From our first call to the last song of the night Ronell was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. One of the standout features of our experience was how well Ronell took the time to understand our vision and preferences. He worked closely with us to curate the perfect playlist that reflected our style and kept our guests dancing all night long. The mix of songs was spot on, and he expertly read the crowd, adjusting the music to keep the energy high. Not only did Ronell bring an impressive sound system, he also created a fun and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for our celebration. His ability to engage with the guests and encourage everyone to join in on the fun was truly remarkable. We had guests of all ages on the dance floor, and it was amazing to see everyone enjoying themselves. Additionally, Ronell was punctual, organized, and handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. His professionalism and passion for what they do shone through, making our wedding an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend DJ Ronell to any couple looking for a fantastic DJ who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day magical. Thank you, Ronell for helping to create the perfect soundtrack for our love story!

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.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

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!

We will coordinate everything with your other vendors and our attention to detail will make sure everything goes smoothly. All you have to do is have fun!

Darryl did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding reception. For starters, he was extremely easy to work with and very communicative. In the lead up to the wedding, we sent him a playlist of songs that we wanted to play. He expertly and seamlessly wove our playlist with his own improvisation to curate a vibe that kept the party going all night. I had friends that always avoid the dance floor tell me they danced virtually the entire reception, which prompted me and many others to pull him aside and let him know what a killer job he was doing. I would highly recommend hiring D2 Entertainment for your event!
