We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

DJ Larry was the perfect solution for our recent playground dedication and school celebration. He played "kid friendly" music and was interactive with our K-12 students.

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.

ELEVATED EXPERIENCES | UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES BRINGING MORE to the DANCE FLOOR SINCE 2009 Your wedding will be a celebration they'll talk about for years to come. But why they'll talk about it is what's got you worried. Good vibes. Epic music. A packed dance floor. Or, a party that falls flat? It could go either way.

VISION AND PERSONALIZATION. ENGAGEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I'm so happy that I booked Kentucky Pro DJ for my wedding reception! From the very start they were so engaged and communicative, making the process leading up to the ceremony so fun and easy. DJ Matt Mason kept our guests smiling and dancing the entire reception. It was truly a 10/10 experience!

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most. It is critical that you entrust it to a professional who will take the time and care to craft an experience that is impossible to forget. With me, above and beyond is an understatement. Music is my life, and it is such a massive honor to be able to provide the soundtrack to one of the biggest days of your life.

I love weddings! There is nothing grander than providing couples with their own personal "soundtrack" for the greatest day of their lives. I provide myself as a music consultant whether as a musician or DJ, utilizing top quality sound equipment and the utmost level of professionalism.

We wanted something classier than a DJ for our cocktail hour and we got the whole package when we booked with Melissa! She was also able to cover our ceremony with piano and some vocals, but our cocktail hour and reception was phenomenal! Her music was tasteful and gorgeous!
