Ladies and gentlemen, look no further for your wedding DJ. My husband and I spoke with a lot of DJs in the Houston area but this DJ blew everyone out of the water. Not only is JJ easy to work with but the crowd loved him. He went above and beyond to cater to what we wanted and was honest with us to help our wedding turn out magnificently. JJ created a great atmosphere and kept the crowd going. He read the crowd and made adjustments depending on who was on the dance floor. He is an amazing experienced DJ with great prices and packages. We added lights and a monogram. He also offers smoke clouds and other choices to fit your needs. I highly recommend this DJ for everyone’s wedding.

His excellent communication prior to the event ensured everything went smoothly. On the wedding day, the music was nothing short of phenomenal.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. 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!

GDG Elevated Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Portland, TX for additional fees

Founder of GDG and a top-rated DJ/MC in Texas for years, Gabriel lives to help make every special event special. Whether creating a timeline with a couple for their big day, hosting a specialty game with guests, or breaking out the jams at a company party, enhancing each guest's experience is his #1 passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to start off by saying that Gabriel was singlehandedly the most impactful person I worked with throughout my entire wedding planning process, and having a DJ provide that level of value completely defied my expectations. But, GDG Elevated Events provides much more than your typical DJ services. Not only does Gabriel have such an encouraging and personable attitude, but he utilizes a custom planning app that went way beyond planning the soundtrack for the day. I was able to really conceptualize the flow of my wedding and determine what schedule felt most authentic to me and my husband's vision, while also deciding what song(s) I wanted to play during each moment! Gabriel was not able to DJ my wedding due to already being committed to another, but who he sent in his stead, James, was full of positive energy and did a great job being the emcee and DJ for the best day of my life. The sound quality was great, the white DJ booth was classy, and James kept everyone dancing right up until the last minute. I really couldn't recommend GDG Elevated Events more!!

DJ Phil Does It

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Portland, 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
As a wedding photographer, I've experienced a wide range of DJs and I can say that Phil Does It brings something unique to the table that goes beyond what everyone else is doing. If you want someone who is truly doing something unique, creative and fun, you should absolutely hire Phil. He not only plays real vinyl, a rarity these days, but also has great taste and undetstands how to read a crowd, and play the right music to keep the party going. The music he plays is not the same wedding DJ playlist you hear over and over again - he actually works with his couples to figure out what they're into and curates a mix custom tailored to their tastes. I've shot multiple wedding receptions were Phil DJ'd. Each had very different crowds from one another, but in every one of them Phil managed to keep the dance floor moving all night. Now I recommend Phil to all my couples in need of a great DJ, and I know whenever Phil is behind the decks my job of capturing joyful moments on the dance-floor will easy, thanks to Phil.

Beyond pleased that we hired DJ Stash for our ranch wedding! There were so many choices out there and we couldn’t be happier with choosing Patrick. We had a vision for our first dance and he made our vision a reality. He was an absolute blast and my guests continue to talk about him. Now we want to find a reason to hire him again… he felt like family! Bonus was he jumped out on the dance floor a few times with us and the guests just ate it up. Look no further!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t begin to describe how amazing this band was. When we hired them after a recommendation/commendation from another couple who called Blind Date the highlight of their wedding, we thought maybe they were being hyperbolic, but we knew at least the band would be good enough for a good time. Never in my life could I have imagined a band was capable of being as great as they were. From the beautiful jazz dinner set (it felt like I was listening to the jazz greats themselves), to the best two hours of dancing I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, Blind Date blew us away. Every single guest commented on how great they were. They were beyond fantastic and we can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect. They brought us on stage for the MOST electric moments of the whole wedding--I felt like I was doing my own Vegas residency show. The LIGHT setup they bring themselves made the whole thing feel like a rock concert. It was the best day of my entire life and I can't imagine having a different band. I want to become a groupie for this band and start crashing other weddings they're playing at. BOOK THIS BAND! Their set list is PHENOMENAL, they learned a new song for our first dance and BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER with it. Everything was perfect. We're going to be talking about this band for as long as we're talking about our wedding. I am so beyond glad a referral from a couple we trusted turned into booking the best wedding band in the world.

  • DJ
  • Serves Portland, TX for additional fees

Music is our life and nothing brings people together more than music and celebration. We started with the idea of helping people celebrate the best day of their lives without having to sacrifice their first born to do so.

We were initially on the fence about getting a DJ versus simply using a Spotify playlist for our reception, but James made us so glad we chose him. Months out from the wedding, James sent us a link to a portal, which let us start putting together lists of must play songs, play if possible songs, and do not play songs, which made for a fun break when other wedding planning got stressful. About a week out from the wedding, James had a call with us where he went over our timeline and what all announcements we were wanting him to make as the MC. He pointed out to us (and was 100% right about) some issues that we didn't even know we might have and how to address them. Only a few days before the wedding, when we realized that the version of the song we had learned our choreography to for our first dance was edited down from the full version, we emailed James in a panic about what to do. He reassured us that he would find a way to make it work and ultimately edited his own version for us. On the day of the wedding, James arrived early, fielded tech issues that arose from our venue like a champ, and made sure everyone had a great time. Our guests, both old and young, complimented what a great job he was doing throughout the night. The photo booth that we rented through him was also a big hit. James makes sure that in addition to the printed photos at the event, you get a digital copy of all of the photos taken as well. It was fun getting to go back days later and look at all the pictures of our guests enjoying themselves. If we could give James and Ace's High Productions six stars, we would. We can't recommend him highly enough.
