I had a specific vision for the music throughout the night, and Jerry not only embraced it but also provided valuable suggestions that elevated the entire experience. He guided us through our vision, even providing a thoughtful form to gather details of our musical interest. Jerry's creativity and enthusiasm got the party started and kept the dance floor active. The entire night flowed seamlessly, from an impressive entrance to our first dance. His user-friendly system allowed us to easily add songs which connected to my Spotify. With guests spanning ages from teens to late adults, Jerry mixed the music so all my guests had songs to dance to.

We absolutely loved having DJ Galaxy as our wedding DJ, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Galaxy was incredibly fun to work with and guided us through the entire process. The music mixing was flawless, keeping the energy high and the dance floor going all night long, even with a very small guest count of 30! Gal was fantastic at reading the crowd and playing the perfect songs to keep everyone engaged and having a great time. One of the highlights of the evening was the shoe game, which Gal led with great humor. It was a hit with all our guests and added a fun, memorable touch to our reception. We, along with our family and friends, all loved her. We 100% recommend her and would work with her again.

Our Dj Rocks 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,575
  • Serves Micanopy, FL

We have rocked over 1,500 weddings and events! The biggest tip we have for choosing your DJ and MC is to make sure they match your personality and style. Do they get your vibe? Do they understand your event goals? When it comes to weddings, parties, or corporate events, we love making a personal connection with each of our clients. It’s what helps us create those unplanned moments.

We loved our entire experience with Our DJ Rocks. We found the online portal SO easy to use, and loved that there were song suggestions for each different category. We were pretty indecisive so we waited until the last minute to make a lot of our music choices, but in the end, having that system really made it a lot simpler than it could've been. When we were assigned Stasia, we were super excited! She seemed like a super fun person and we couldn't wait to get to know her. When we had our pre wedding phone call to go over all the final details, we were even more excited! Everything that we had doubts about or didn't have ideas for, she provided reassurance, suggestion, and inspiration. By the end of the call, we completely trusted that Stasia would do a phenomenal job as our DJ. The wedding music was absolutely perfect. From pre-ceremony to our exit song, Stasia was ON IT with our vibe, song choices, and timings. Everything flowed so well. I honestly can't say how nice it was to not be worried about guests having a good time. A lot of us didn't leave the dance floor the entire night! Her announcements to sign the guestbook and use the hashtag throughout the reception were so helpful and effective, too. We ended up with a guestbook globe full of signatures and well-wishes that we'll be proud to display in our home! We hear a lot of great things about our wedding in the weeks since. One of the things I hear a lot is how awesome our DJ was! My maid of honor loved the job she did so much, she actually booked her for her own wedding! And when she told me that one of the things she was stressed about wedding-planning wise was creating a wedding playlist, she was shocked when I told her we pretty much left it all up to Stasia! She really knows what works-when to use certain songs and how to keep the party going. Anyway, all in all, we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to book with Our DJ Rocks, and are so glad that we were blessed with Stasia as our DJ! We love her and can't wait to party with her at another wedding next year!

We’re live music experts, wedding enthusiasts, and party starters, infusing every event with energy and full dance floors. We’re here to make your wedding the greatest party of your life! The Bay Kings Band are a premium, customizable 3 to 14 piece band specializing in high-energy music–at a sensible price. Reach out to get started!

We also offer Photo & Video services!

Between the professionalism, the communication, down to the loving and outrageously fun atmosphere this band will create for your wedding day, what I came to rave about was their ability to turn a bad situation into a memorable one. So many “audibles” had to be called during my reception as there were coordination mishaps and the timing for just about everything went off the rails beginning with dinner. Not only did Bay Kings Band keep the atmosphere light (to where my guests noticed NOTHING), our MC essentially coached me through the remaining timeline of my reception and turned what felt like a bad trip into the most incredible party I’ve ever been to (humble brag) which just so happened to be my own wedding. THANK YOU BAY KINGS BAND ️ if I could give you a million stars I would!!!

String Theory Music

  • 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!

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 recently had my wedding at the Florida Aquarium and StringKeeper Entertainment gave me everything I wanted and so much more. Elijah is truely AMAZING!. We spoke to him multiple times beforehand, came up with a wedding list, went over a timeline of the wedding, and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want. He arrived early to the wedding to make sure everything was set up in time and working properly. Music and Audio was perfect. He even helped my husband plan a surprise song for me which included a guitar. He had to improvise a couple times because my husband can't follow directions when we entered and went into our first dance, but it all went so smoothly that you would have thought it was planned. Throughout the night he made sure everyone was out there having fun. I appreciate all the time and work he put in to making sure we had a wonderful wedding. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!
