I worked a wedding recently with Jeremy. He was so personable with the couple and guests. He was also very prepared. The venues reception lights had a malfunction. He quickly brought out extra lights he had on hand to ensure that the couple still had what they needed for the first dance and created a fun party vibe for the reception afterward.

DJ Demarkus and DeTayls Entertainment was a perfect DJ and emcee for our wedding. The communication was rapid and he had a great organizational app that kept us on track leading up to the big day. The Djing was better than I could've imagined - DJ Demarkus was extremely organized upfront, provided a fantastic emcee who hit all the important cues, and made amazing song choices that kept our dance floor alive all night long.

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.

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

Hi, I'm Nick Bryant! I am a singer-guitarist, and I've played professionally for nearly 10 years. I am the band manager of Velvet City Sound. From booking, to the send-off, and everything in between, expect nothing less than the best from VCS!

We booked VCS for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and were so glad we did! We really felt like they had our best interests at heart from the moment we called to get a quote until our sparkler sendoff! Whatever you need musically, VCS takes care of it. We were even able to rent a full dance floor for a reasonable price that they assembled themselves. We were able to focus on being with our friends and family on our wedding day instead of stressing about the little things. Book VCS, and thank me later! ;)
