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.

Music is an extremely stressful thing but Lisa and her son made this very easy for us. She was patient and welcoming and more than happy to tailor the production to what we needed including a no requests policy. She was also helpful with the ceremony despite us not originally booking additional sound equipment. We got plenty of previews so nothing was unexpected and she was happy to keep an eye on us to make sure the first dance was timed perfectly and wound down at the right time. Thank you!

DJ Phil Does It

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Merkel, TX for additional fees

I'm an event DJ serving Central Texas with more than 18 years of experience rocking parties. I love taking requests and work long hours to custom tailor music selections to the mood of my clients' events. I bring all of my own gear so, if you give me a power outlet, I can start a dance party. I also MC receptions and can run sound and microphones for ceremonies and presentations.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Phil Does It was HANDS DOWN the best wedding DJ we've ever had the pleasure of dancing to. From the early conversations in listening and noting the songs we wanted (and didn't want) to hear, to his professionalism throughout the event, to his uncanny ability to read the dance floor and throw songs in that we didn't even know we needed to hear, we just couldn't have been any happier with what he brought to our special day. We couldn't recommend Phil any more, and know that he will bring his magic to your event just as he did for ours.

Sanchez Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Merkel, TX for additional fees

My name is Rogelio (Roger) Sanchez aka DJ Konkocshun. It all began while in H.S., a buddy of mine (I consider him my brother) was a DJ and I used to tag along and even help him mix some tracks. After H.S. I joined the Marine Corps and after several years, I continued to get the itch of mixing music and missed playing on the turntables. After an experience we had with another DJ for a personal event, I decided to give it a go. I love mixing different genres of music and the excitement of people enjoying themselves while on the dance floor or bobbing their heads in their seats. I practice my craft daily to present a beautiful experience.

Mr. Sanchez provided great entertainment and was a great hype man on the mic. Mr. Sanchez will always customize his approach and playlist to cater to your needs and wants. You can't go wrong with this man.

I was a little iffy about having a band, I was so worried about people not dancing or not having a fun time. Boy was I wrong. This band was absolutely incredible!!! I had so many people asking me their name and commenting on how fun it was. My sister told me she has never been to a wedding where people never left the dance floor. The band really made this wedding amazing. Due to covid we only had about 53 people total and we were so worried for nothing. The band had me the groom up on stage singing and dancing with them. We had gone through their list of songs and marked which ones we liked/disliked, but with all the craziness of the wedding I never got around to sending it. This made me even more nervous because I hoped they wouldnt play things no one liked. Again, so wrong. They knew exactly what to play, they played classic rock, current pop, 90's music, some Motown, R&B, Sinatra for dinner set. They knew what would get people dancing. My husband who is a huge Alabama fan got pulled up on stage to sing sweet home Alabama. He loved it! Mark was incredible as well. He never minded to talk with me on the phone about our goals/worries for the wedding. He gave me the best piece of advice that if the bride and groom are having fun, the rest will follow and he was definitely right. We both agreed all night that this was the perfect choice. We were absolutely blown away with them! Definitely a must book for your wedding.
