Sway With Me DJ

Jacksonville, FL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $750

I believe music is the backdrop to all our most memorable moments in life. I started DJing because my love of sharing music with those around me. My goal is to help make your special moments unforgettable.

DJ Sway's services were provided by a friend as a wedding gift. We established contact by email and then we had two or three phone discussions with me and my wife. We had a small wedding of about 70. He had a great selection of music. and played the participation dances we wanted. He kept things moving when things slowed down. We didn't do a lot of traditional things because we're an older couple but he actually helped explain things to me that I didn't know anything about I had no idea what a dollar dance was. And he helped me learn what was going to different things were common in today's weddings and helped us decide what we did or didn't want and payed attention to the things I did not want. No chicken dance!! Android working with him very much and would not hesitate to hire him again.

String Theory Music 

5.0

Jacksonville, FL
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $400

With over 20 years of experience, our network of professional musicians is dedicated to sharing our love of music with the community. Whether you're planning a wedding, private party, corporate event, recording session, or in need of orchestra or small ensemble music, we've got you covered. Let String Theory Music set the tone for your event with beautiful music that will create an unforgettable ambiance.

We booked String Theory's string quartet for our prelude, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour, and they were hands-down one of my absolute favorite parts of our wedding day. I am honestly so overwhelmed with (positive) emotion when I think about what they added to our day that I don't even know where to start. As the bride, you're really running around a lot during the lead-up to your actual ceremony. We were kind of running late, so when we got to the venue itself I wasn't really focusing. Suddenly I realized I was hearing a string quartet playing, but they were executing the music I'd selected so flawlessly, I thought I was listening to a professional recording until I remembered that it was LIVE MUSIC played at MY WEDDING. I was absolutely blown away and the emotion of the day just hit me in that moment, and I genuinely believe it was enhanced by the strings! I did a private first look with my dad and they started playing music from Lord of the Rings that I'd selected and honestly it felt like I was in a movie. The emotion was that much more powerful and I still get emotional thinking about that moment. Our guests were absolutely raving about them as well, and in every video I've seen, they are playing often challenging pieces flawlessly. My ONE regret is that I did not get to sit and listen to them more, and like...what a regret to have! Allison was so wonderful, warm, professional, and lovely to work with. String Theory is the best and I am currently finding myself trying to plot events to book them for so I can personally experience more String Theory! Thank you so much to Allison and her team for making our wedding the stuff dreams are made of!

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Jacksonville, FL

DJing is one of my life's passions and my full-time career. I'm dedicated to creating the perfect atmosphere at your wedding. ​ Together, let's discuss your wedding details: the vibe of your wedding, song selections for your ceremony, how I'll orchestrate your first dance as a married couple, preferences for remixes and mash-ups, whether you want to kick off the dance party with classics, and where you want the energy in the last hour. Are you leaning towards EDM, a 2000s throwback set, pop-country, pop-punk, singalong classics, nu-disco, or...? ​ Elevate the vibe with a boutique wedding DJ experience. High Fives and Good Vibes

Hello, getting married person. I'm Matt, the owner of Future Stereo. I know; why am I reviewing my own business? I signed up for an account with Zola and was asked to ask ten people to review my business. I was curious how Zola would message my list, so I added my personal email address as the 10th email, and that's why I'm writing this. Are you still reading? Check out what a venue manager said last Saturday while I was packing up. "It's refreshing to hear different music at a wedding. Most DJs play the same music every night." You deserve a DJ who will curate a unique experience based on your style, from MCing and music selection to sharing trends and custom ideas for your wedding. Hit me up. I'd love to hear about your wedding plans. Thanks, Matt

J & D Productions was started years ago entertaining guest at our home and after many of our friends and family telling us we should do this for a living, we finally decided to take their advice and many years later, and after performing in 11 states, we are now located in the wonderful Jacksonville Florida Area!

We cannot recommend DJ Eddie enough! He went above and beyond to help me execute a surprise for my husband during our ceremony, which involved playing a special song featuring the voice of his late mother. It was executed flawlessly and turned out to be one of my husband’s favorite moments of the entire day. As for the reception, the dance floor was never empty! Even family members who rarely dance were out there having a blast. So many guests told us, “The DJ was playing all the best tunes!” His song selections and transitions were perfect, keeping the energy high and everyone engaged. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, detail-oriented, and truly knows how to create unforgettable moments, look no further. They made our wedding absolutely magical! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect! Hope these sneak peaks from our photographer (Jacal productions) capture the magical moment and serve as proof of the amazing time we had on our big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

I truly cannot recommend them enough. I can confidently brag that we had the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. We saw them perform at another wedding and booked them in between sets they were so good. For ours, we had a 7 piece band perform for the reception and it was so incredible (Motown, funk, oldies, and pop). They brought great energy and the music was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests. They also did the audio for the ceremony and cocktail hour (just recorded songs, not live) and MC’ed the whole event. It went so smoothly. We filled out an extensive form they have and then met to review the plan for the day. It went off perfectly and flowed so well. Definitely worth asking for Kelley the pianist because he’s also a great singer. My one note is we got a wireless mic for the ceremony and there was a little delay in the audio so it was a little disorienting to speak like there was an echo. It making reading vows a little hard. So I’d recommend either talking to them about that or going with a wired mic, maybe.
