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.

We are a group of DJs in the Little Traverse Bay region with a singular mission to make the best day of your life also the best night of your life for you and your guests. We'll turn your reception into a "real" real party: the kind where your guests hobble home sore drenched from dancing too much thinking "What did we just experience?" We are entertainers. We will read the room and plug into you and your guests tastes. We will even get your grandma grooving. We will arrive extra early, have everything dialed in, and give you and your guests the party they deserve. We have fun.

DJ Parker Marshall, was certainly one of the highlights of Lydia and I’s special day. From the moment he began the evening with quiet and soft jazz music for the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres hour, he was able to match the energy of the night with ease. He even played some authentic Hispanic music to make sure my family heard something familiar and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend DJ Parker with so much faith for your special day. He even danced to some ABBA towards the end of the night and tastefully added a nice touch of performance “with the show”. Lydia and I couldn’t haven’t been happier with where he took us that night and are pleased to write this review open heartedly. Book him! Don’t think about it anymore, planning a wedding is tough, so move forward and make your event a success with Parker. - Lydia and Niel

Rich and Avalon The Band played at our daughter's wedding. They were awesome! Rich's communications skills were great, prompt and informative. He lead us through what to expect and gave us insight as this was our first wedding we hosted. They were able to handle sound for the wedding ceremony and it was set up without having to remind or ask, which was appreciated. Rich helped us find a string duo to play during the wedding ceremony too. Rich guided us through the beginning of the reception and helped facilitate the order of speeches and again provided sound for that. The band is great, fun and people danced all night. Rich is kind, honest and works very hard to make sure we had what we wanted. What more can you ask for!

Hello there, My name is Tracy and my Husband is Dan. Dan has been a DJ for over 25 years and has been officiating since 2016 when we started our business. We added photobooth and have 3 that we rent out with attendants and have been doing those since 2018. In 2018 we started bartending services as well. We both Dj and also have our son and brother that we use as back up djs just to have on standby, although have never had to use them for that purpose as we have never had an issue to do so. They do however step in when we have a client really wanting our service and one of them are available to accommodate.

Hands down the BEST experience! Dan and Tray DJ'd our entire wedding. They were able to play the 5 different songs i requested for my entire wedding party while each different group entered without hesitation. While we took are pictures they kept the music going for our guest. When we were ready to enter the reception, they had the guest on their feet, and hype music going for our grand entrance. The mode they set was amazing .. from the up lighting to match our colors, to the logo on the dance floor. The dance floor was NEVER empty, they kept the music going. The guest were able to request songs and never had to wait for the song it always played next. We also had their photobooth service, the print outs match our decor and names were printed out on the bottom. BEST part was the keepsake book created of every picture from our guest that took a photo take night was placed in this book. They wrote a little note or signed the book, we will forever cherish and be able to look back.
