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!

I have two decades in the music and events industry. As a DJ, I have toured nationally with multiple headlining acts, learning the ins and outs of crafting incredibly exciting audio visual experiences. To me, every wedding is the Super Bowl. Which means it’s make or break, and everything is on the line. That is the level of importance I place on your big day. You only get one chance to craft the perfect celebration of your love, it is important to know that your big day is the right hands. Let’s get started on creating the memories that you and your soulmate will carry for life. I look forward to speaking with you.

I booked DJ Triplicate from his website back in June because our DJ backed out last minute. We needed a DJ within 4 days, which was on his birthday, no less. He enthusiastically accepted, showed up early, stayed late, helped the other vendors clean up and even called an uber for a guest who had too much to drink. Class act, and very professional.

He was super helpful in putting together our music plan in the weeks leading up to the wedding (and he uses a cool website that makes it easy to organize and request songs).
