We loved them. They did exactly what we asked of them which we appreciated. Not every DJ will listen and they end up doing their own thing. We didn’t want a DJ that was too obnoxious so he was perfect. We talked about 2 weeks prior and felt good, went over everything and they have forms you fill out. One comment we got from different guests was they liked the music and played stuff for everyone…a nice variety! It was a great night!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was a bride in June of 2017 and I booked this company almost a year and a half before my wedding. I would not change it for anything!!! They were so helpful and available throughout the whole wedding planning process and made themselves readily available to us. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and almost every single person there complemented the professionalism and vibes all the staff had - particularly our DJ Brandon. If any of my friends get married in the future I will STRONGLY suggest using this company! Brandon has become close friends to my husband and I and our groups of friends. We recommend him to all of our loved ones and love seeing him at all of our events together. To this day, I still am told that our wedding was one of the best they have been to and we have Brandon to thank for that. He raised soooo much money for our honeymoon during our non-traditional dollar dance and made the whole night ruin so smoothly. Like I said, best wedding decision we made.

Ron and the 2Proud2Beg group are absolutely amazing. After seeing them at a wedding we attended as guests, my then-fiance (now husband) and I immediately decided that we wanted 2Proud2Beg as our wedding band. They were incredibly professional and also insanely fun. Friends and family from out-of-town and KC alike were on our dance floor all night, which is what we wanted. Would 100% recommend.

Griffin & the Gargoyles

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Kansas City, MO

Griffin and the Gargoyles is St. Louis’ premier high-energy party and dance band. Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

Signature DJ LLC

  • Serves Kansas City, MO for additional fees

I've been working in the wedding business for 18 years as a DJ. I have a passion for the wedding business and helping couples have great days they'll remember forever. Musically speaking we have never played the same set twice. Every event is custom design playlist based on feedback from the couples to audience requests and reading the room and guests.

Josh was really great to work with! He was upfront about what he could provide and didn’t hesitate if there were any questions or concerns he had. We had a very small wedding. We were hopeful more adults would dance but they would not. Josh did not hesitate to let us know and then he got the kids involved which was so much more fun! I didn’t worry about him at all being prepared. He made us feel secure and stress free from the get go. What a great guy!
