I cannot say enough about DJ Touche’ ! He went above and above beyond all our expectations for my daughter’s wedding! He kept the reception moving with his great Soundsystem and Photobooth. Everyone had a stellar time. What I really appreciated was his professionalism, his congenial personality and his promptness so I didn’t have to worry. I really love that he has back-ups to all of his systems— Again, one last thing to worry about. I would highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Sound Enforcement DJ Service

Charlottesville, VA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,895

For over seventeen years my business has focused on weddings. It is my goal to create the atmosphere you have envisioned and help make your ceremony and reception flow smoothly. My style is low key and can be summed up in a few words as, "Elegant Fun". The day should be approached with elegance and poise, but at the same time remembering it is also a celebration. After all, that’s why you have invited your friends and family to your wedding. I love what I do. I love music, and I love weddings. I take great pride in what I do but my goal is not only to play music; it is to ensure that every wedding I do is better than the one before.

TD was amazing, professional yet laid back. He was recommended to us by our caterer, and after speaking with him on the phone, he was hired! He walked us though everything, and had a detailed form to fill out and get back to him about what kind of music we wanted or didn't want, when we wanted it played, and timeline for the event. We spoke on the phone about a week before the wedding to go over the paper, and he was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The day of the wedding, our timeline got moved around due to the health of a family member, and TD barely blinked an eye. He moved songs around for us easily, took examples of songs we had given him and expanded on them, and had everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. I would highly recommend TD and Sound Enforcement to anyone looking for a competent, professional and fun DJ.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. 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!

We hired Jeremy to DJ our wedding in September 2018. We are avid (and opinionated) music fans, so this was one of the most important parts of our day. Jeremy's pre-wedding process was efficient, informative, collaborative, and fun. Given all of the information we provided him, he absolutely nailed the vibe we had in mind, and he played an expertly curated and mixed set that was a hit with everyone at the wedding. The dance floor was positively packed all night. Additionally, Jeremy was punctual, courteous, accommodating, and charismatic. What else can you ask for in a wedding DJ?

He goes above and beyond in helping you organize the day and take some stress off you as the bride and groom. He kept the dance floor packed all night. People even commented afterwards how they couldn’t believe how he came out to dance with us too. The templates that he has for your song choices are top notch and made my OCD dreams come true.

How about you DJ my wedding?” That pattern continued over the next 5-6 years, with more people asking me to DJ. That was the beginning of Prime Time Event Group. Since then, I’ve gone through extensive training and have DJed over 350 weddings and events. I love knowing that we make sure our clients’ wedding or event is not just a great memory, but an amazing experience that they will cherish forever.

If I could give Prime Time Event Group 6 stars, I would (and it still wouldn't be enough). Frank and his team kept our wedding reception on the dance floor all night, through not only a playlist of bangers but also an acute sense of what song to shift into if the previous one seemed a little lackluster with the crowd (which only happened once anyway). Working with him was so easy and he's so personable; he truly made us feel more excited about the wedding every time we talked. We will be recommending him to everybody we know getting married in the area! They're amazing!
