Karli was an amazing addition to our wedding day! Her communication throughout the planning process was always quick and clear. On our wedding day Karli brought so much high energy and enthusiasm to her role as our DJ and emcee. She worked with our coordinator to ensure all the details for the ceremony were exactly how we envisioned. Once the reception started, she kept the dance floor packed all night long. Her music selections were spot-on for our taste. We booked Karli after seeing her in action at a friend’s wedding and she was a phenomenal addition to our wedding day. We highly recommend Karli for your wedding or event if you’re looking for a DJ who is professional and super fun as well.

From planning and preparation to squeaky clean setups and expert mixing, you and your crowd are the only missing piece to an unforgettable celebration!

Awarded Best of Zola
NMC Entertainment looks good and sounds good. Their setup looks clean and modern. Their sound is clean with crystal clear highs and thumping lows (base). And they know the appropriate volume for the moment. There is nothing worse than a DJ playing too loud during dinner and then cranking it to to a deafening volume during dancing. You want some nice ambient sound during dinner and a good volume during dancing, but not deafening. These guys know the sweet spot for every occasion. They also know how to mix music better than anyone we've heard. If you want your guests dancing all night, you best go with these guys. And last buy not least, this husband and wife duo are both professional dancers so if I was you I would request them to get out on the dance floor and lead a few dances. They will definitely liven things up!

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

Experience the difference with DJ Triplicate. Five stars across the board. He is extremely professional, listens to any request you may have and always gets the crowd excited! DJ Triplicate turns your event into a memorable party that your friends will talk about all year!
