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!

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!

He was very easy to work with, very professional, thorough with his questionnaire that is provided to his clients, all of his wires were tied up and out of everyones way (something you don't know is important but it sure does make a difference), and was able to accommodate to a variety of age groups throughout the night. Dynamic Excitement also provided my client with uplighting which created a romantic ambiance to the entire venue space- which also created a beautiful background for the detail shots of the venue. All in all, Dynamic Excitement is a DJ company I see myself recommending to all of my clients.

We are a group of distinguished artists and professionals with decades of industry experience. We have worked alongside of major artists, performed on national tours, and been featured on shows such as American Idol, The Voice, and The Four. Our band leader, Brennan also has 10+ years of professional event planning experience and has personally performed and/coordinated music for over 400 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brennan and Cooper Union were the defining feature of our wedding (other than our love, of course). Cooper Union is not a wedding band, they are a full-scale production extravaganza. Motown, pop, soul, rock & roll—they do it all and they’re doing it WELL. The sound is BIG. I’m glad we got the full band—3 vocalists, full horns section (literally could not imagine going without). Aside from his incredible on-stage presence, Brennan was an absolute dream to work with — personable, kind, funny, and passionate. I felt like we were old friends from the moment we first spoke on the phone. Cooper Union made our wedding unforgettable. I am not exaggerating when I say I danced the whole time. They even covered an electronic song to perfection for our first dance. If you’re like me, and wedding planning is not your favorite, and you want to tick a box off the list, look no further—you can’t go wrong. Best decision you will make.

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!

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
