DJ Ronnie Roux 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,450

Experience is everything when it comes to picking a DJ for your event. Having more than 22 years experience creating parties, let’s make your party a good one. Starting out at the world famous Cat’s Meow on Bourbon Street in 1995, I learned to play music for a wide variety of age groups. After working several years at Cat’s Meow, I transferred to Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. I have been a DJ there for the last 17 years providing music for every type of event imaginable. Outside of playing events at Generations Hall, I work with corporate event planners, brides and grooms, high schools, and charities.

I hired Ronnie for my wedding last year, and he was an excellent DJ! He worked with us every step of the way: he made sure to play songs I recommend, but also helped make suggestions to keep the party going! He arrived at the location on time, and this is important because the day of the wedding was hectic and overwhelming!

On October 12th, we tied the knot and were fortunate to have Brodrick, also known as DJ Smooth B from Any Event Productions, as our wedding DJ. His performance was absolutely outstanding. Throughout the entire evening, the dance floor was buzzing, thanks to his fantastic mix of our favorite tunes. When our violinist had an unexpected emergency and could not make it, Brodrick seamlessly stepped in to provide music and a microphone for the ceremony and music for the cocktail hour as we only hired him for our wedding reception. His communication right from the start was excellent, and we even had a detailed Zoom call in the weeks leading up to the wedding to finalize all the arrangements. Brodrick was incredibly prepared, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to his professionalism and dedication. His exceptional services truly saved the day, and we can't recommend DJ Smooth B highly enough for anyone in search of a top-notch DJ for their special day.

We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Ronell for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From our first call to the last song of the night Ronell was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. One of the standout features of our experience was how well Ronell took the time to understand our vision and preferences. He worked closely with us to curate the perfect playlist that reflected our style and kept our guests dancing all night long. The mix of songs was spot on, and he expertly read the crowd, adjusting the music to keep the energy high. Not only did Ronell bring an impressive sound system, he also created a fun and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for our celebration. His ability to engage with the guests and encourage everyone to join in on the fun was truly remarkable. We had guests of all ages on the dance floor, and it was amazing to see everyone enjoying themselves. Additionally, Ronell was punctual, organized, and handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."
