AMAZING! Derek was so incredibly flexible and kind as we planned our wedding during COVID and changed our minds about things like the wind. He is understanding, thoughtful, and has done so many weddings, he brings a ton of experience to the table. When we got to our venue for the rehearsal, the staff didn't even know what to do about the sound feedback or how to fix it on their systems, Derek stepped in politely and made the needed adjustments to make everything sound great. He also crushed our reception! It was a small, outdoor gathering, but he made sure everything sounded and went smoothly. He is an incredible, fun and talented guy---& he is busy so you better snag him fast!

Hiring dynamic excitement for our wedding was honestly the best decision we made that day!

I’ve attended my fair share of weddings and have never seen this type of energy provided by a DJ before! He’s also a one stop shop- DJ Thomas provided us with cold sparklers, dance on the cloud, social media photobooth with prints, and uplighting. It was extremely convenient to have all of our entertainment services through one vendor. We highly recommend hiring Dynamic excitement for all things entertainment for any and all events, it’s worth every penny spent and you’re in good hands!

Adam Clark & Derek Hughes created ‘The Nashville Wedding Band’ in Nashville TN to give their clients an experience of a lifetime. After 25 years of music city experience, performing and working together with some of the biggest names* in Country & Rock, this duo decided to take on a new and exciting journey of establishing a Nashville-based wedding band. With access to some of the best touring musicians and singers in the nation, they were able to compile a band unlike any other to take the wedding experience to the next level.

The Nashville Wedding Band was an absolute hit at our wedding! They had great communication leading up to the big day and were so easy to talk to, which put us at ease. This band is filled with professional musicians who have performed with top artists, and it really showed in their incredible performance. I've been to a lot of weddings, and the Nashville Wedding Band is hands down the best live music I've ever heard at a wedding or anywhere else. They were even kind enough to let my niece join them for a special song, which was a highlight of the night. With their amazing vocals, ability to play any song, and pure talent, the Nashville Wedding Band made our wedding reception an absolute blast from start to finish. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Nashville Wedding Guitarist 

5.0

Nashville, TN
  • Solo performer

Simple. Elegant. Beautiful. If this is what you envision for your wedding, classical guitar may be exactly what you're looking for. Guitarist Rob Higginbotham brings a blend of virtuosic classical guitar repertoire and contemporary fingerstyle guitar to add that special touch to any occasion. He has been featured on NPR, performed with the Nashville Symphony and played over 60 weddings last year. With over 25 years of playing experience, you can be assured of a flawless performance and a treasured memory.

We hired Rob to play music before and during our outdoor wedding ceremony. We hired him as a soloist and he played beautiful classical guitar that was perfect for the event. I am aware that he also can provide duos or larger ensembles as needed. He also can provide jazzy reception music after the wedding. Nashville certainly has a lot of guitar players but classical guitar players with a robust repertoire can be hard to find.

Nathan Belt & The Buckles 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Nashville, TN

A respect of nostalgia with a modern twist, Nathan Belt & The Buckles’ pay homage to the classic twangy rock n’ roll you love. Influences of Merle Haggard-era country and Roy Orbison/Elvis Presley style vocals, this band’s sound is enjoyed by audiences both musically versed and new. Each have backed legendary artists such as Wanda Jackson, Billy Joe Shaver, Los Straitjackets, Chuck Mead (BR549), Garry Tallent (The E Street Band), Emmylou Harris and Billy Burnette to name a few. If you’re fortunate enough to experience their show live, you'll be met with an energetic set, a compelling desire to dance and their signature, sharp dressed style.

I have worked closely with Nathan for years at a venue in downtown Nashville (Acme Feed & Seed). During that time, he and his band have easily put on hundreds of shows with us. Aside from being one of the most respectful, professional, and quality musicians you could hope for, Nathan and his crew are wonderful people on the personal side, as well. They always show up early, stay late, and put their all into their shows, without fail. This kind of passion, dedication, and commitment to craft is unparalleled by any other artist I've ever worked with. Furthermore, their ability to cover a wide array of genres with a dynamic blend of covers and originals work well for any setting. You would be SEVERELY missing out if you don't book Nathan on any occassion requiring a need for live entertainment!

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

This band was fantastic!! They played for my ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (three pieces), and reception (8 piece band). They were definitely the highlight of the night! They never said no to a single request we gave them - including playing a piece written by my own grandmother. I received so many compliments about their performance, and they kept everyone up and dancing all night. Our only issue with them is that they started our father/daughter dance song too quickly so we were thrown off, but no one seemed to notic!
