Adam was so great as our DJ! We loved getting to chat with him multiple times before the big day and he did a great job. He also let me try out the turn tables and that was super fun!

Parker Marshall Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Kalkaska, MI

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

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.

I cannot recommend Amplified Events MI enough!! I first discovered them at a wedding at Journeymans and they kept the night seamless. We wanted a DJ for our wedding that took our playlist seriously while also giving some creative freedom, so I asked for their information. Let me tell you - they did not disappoint!! DJ Jeff kept the dancing electric and there was never a moment where the floor was empty. He was so helpful throughout the planning process and answered all my 100 questions as an anxious bride. We decided to go with the uplights & photobooth as well, which we can say was the best decision!! It added the perfect ambiance & our family raved about the photos they got to take home. The Michigan team was basically our wedding coordinator for the whole process & especially on the day of, so we couldn’t have done it without them. He even custom edited a song for my father/daughter dance so I could have both parts I liked. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!! I can’t wait to add photos once we get them back :)

Welcome to Divergence Entertainment LLC – Spectacular Wedding Celebrations Since 2016! Based in Oxford, MI and proudly serving Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, we always go above and beyond to make sure our couples experience a wonderful, stress-free wedding day with all expectations exceeded! We have been the architect of unforgettable weddings since 2016! We provide your song choices and happily accommodate every specific wedding detail. We're not just DJs; we're dream-weavers, turning your envisioned wedding into a reality.

Where do I even begin with Quinn? He went SO above and beyond just "making a playlist". Are a couple planning for a wedding, thinking - like we were - that we could just make a playlist and rent a speaker system and it would do the same thing as a DJ? You're wrong. Quinn did SO much more. He did a phone consultation with us a week before the wedding and made recommendations for things we didn't even think of. A song to play in the background while cutting cake? He had three off the top of his head. He was diligent of the timeline but flexible. He brought a sense of calm to the entire day by getting to the venue early, double checking the sound system, making sure that he was on the same page as the officiant, and keeping the wedding party on track. After the whole wedding party walked down the aisle, Quinn came and checked on me and my dad and - since we didn't have a planner/coordinator - he even did me the favor of fluffing my train before walking down the aisle. Quinn perfectly timed our grand entrance / first dance song. He read the room during the entire evening and - while we gave him a playlist of songs to help him understand the vibe we were going for - he played stuff outside the playlist when the reception called for it. He made announcements in a charming and welcoming way about the bar closing during dinner, toasts as they were coming up, and the private last dance. He even went around to each table to send them up for the buffet instead of announcing it over the mic. Quinn was the perfect DJ for us, but he was also so much more - he was an integral part of our day that I am so grateful to have found. Cannot recommend him enough.

Welcome to your wedding journey! I’m DJ Jake Boone, and I specialize in making your wedding day unforgettable with a personalized touch.

I have experience finding the perfect songs for weddings large and small, and I’m here to ensure your reception is nothing short of magical. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I offer customizable packages to suit your needs and budget. Contact me for a detailed quote.

My daughter was getting married in another state than the one I live in, and in the same year to boot! Because of having to finance two weddings in the same year, we did not want to spend an arm and a leg to do so. I asked the DJ I booked for my wedding if he knew anyone in Michigan that could handle my daughter's wedding, and he referred me to DJ J. Boone. I had talked to a handful of vendors before, and I came to the realization that the lower the price for the service, the worst service I received. I found a happy medium with J Boone's services.. He was priced fairly, and I was genuinely surprised at how much effort he put in to go above and beyond everything that was asked of him. He communicated clearly the whole time, made our needs important, and of course on the big day, delivered what was asked of him. And more! Our entire family was extremely impressed with his service.

I planned our entire wedding and reception and coordinated it all, too. My new bride told me that with my personality, my intense desire to always provide phenomenal customer service, my love of music, my business skills, and the awesome job I did with our wedding and reception, I should start doing it for other couples. The dream was born, and a year later, we were in business. That was 10 years ago. It has been an awesome ride!

We worked with DJ Skip and it was such a success! My husband (ahh!) is from Spain and his family and friends came to the US just for this event. We wanted to make sure that there would be music that would be familiar to them and what they would expect for a wedding. Skip was very very accommodating, took requests easily, and quickly adjusted to match the energy of the crowd. We have gotten so many compliments about the dance floor, and we are honored to have worked with Skip!

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!

Hi there! I started my music education at 8 years old, starting with private piano lessons that spanned 12 years.. leading to a BA in Vocal Performance from Wayne State University, and study abroad in Rome, Italy.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
