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!

I cannot say enough good things about Andrew & his team. Andrew worked with me to surprise my wife with a prerecorded message to play right before I walked down the aisle. He made my vision a reality and let me tell you the tears were flowing from everyone! I cannot thank him enough! Andrew and his team did an amazing job all night! He’s not just a DJ, he’s a hype man!! He kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long, playing absolute killer songs. His fun, upbeat, and personable personality made the entire night so fun!!

Sound Enforcement DJ Service 

5.0

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up. Meredith with the photo booth was amazing! Our guests loved the customized photobooth strips!

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

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!

196 Events | NO Boring Receptions Guaranteed!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,149
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA

Hey there! We are Devail & Nikki, your husband and wife wedding entertainment team. 196 Events is a professional Wedding DJ & Photo Booth company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, we serve couples across Hampton Roads, RVA, Central VA and the Shenandoah Valley.

We cannot express enough about how much we enjoyed having Devail and Nikki as our DJ duo for our wedding! They most certainly delivered on their promise of No Boring Receptions and has us and our friends dancing all night! They guided the ceremony and reception with ease, and handled any time hiccups that came up without any fuss, making it a less anxious time for all. The planning suite they use is extremely easy to navigate and set s everyone up for success leading up to the big day! A little something that stood out: Our pastor that officiated our wedding is retired and had not done a wedding in 6 years, and it was the first one he had done without his wife of 57 years there with him. Devail and Nikki took time out of their busy schedule to share some video footage with our pastor so that he could show his wife. Talk about making it a personal experience!! They did this sort of thing throughout the whole process of working with them. We know this is a long review, but long story short, We cannot recommend their services enough. HIRE THEM!!!!
