Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

I would highly recommend this band! It was so easy to work with them, so many different options to choose from and flexibility with what we could have in a band, and the people we worked with throughout are so personable! We worked with David during our wedding planning, and he was amazing! He was patient, kind, creative, and very experienced! He was very responsive, and him and the band was able to accommodate our last minute additions/changes! On the day of, the band was truly amazing! We gave minimal instructions but once we arrived, the band & MC were already set up and playing. They were professional, and knew exactly what to do & integrated well with our other vendors! The MC (who was also one of the singers) was also perfect and was able to transition different parts of our day seamlessly, and was clearly experienced with these events. The music choices were tailored during the planning process, and we loved the music that they played, and the way they played it! Everyone in the band were amazing musicians, they kept the vibes happy and we & our family and friends had so much fun! I would say for the price we paid, the band on the day of, and with the planning and collaboration throughout, it was 100% reasonable and worth it! Music is such an important part of my family and I, and for the band to play the songs they did, and be a part of our day means so much!

All skills I have honed during my 15+ year career of professionally performing. Not here to be a cheesy game show host. Every crowd is it's own unique challenge to approach, with varying age ranges and demographics.

Let me ensure that happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Joey was an unbelievable pleasure. My now husband and I were quite nervous about hiring a DJ (naturally given it was our first time!), but the second I found and spoke to Joey over the phone in an introductory call, I knew we were in good hands. His warmth, charisma and incredible professional experience was apparent, even during those first few minutes. Joey is an unbelievably talented performer (he played live cello at our ceremony) and a well seasoned DJ. What we didn’t know when we first hired him, was just how much help Joey would be in helping us schedule and orchestrate the flow of our full wedding. We had multiple calls and meetings, well before the wedding day, where Joey kept us informed and confident all throughout. He helped us coordinate the music not only to the most important parts of the wedding, but also to all in the in-betweens, making sure that good vibes were always flowing throughout the whole thing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to make it all happen. Joey is also someone who is incredibly organized and pays great attention to detail and timing. He kept things moving (even though that was outside the scope of his work) and made sure everything was on schedule. Even when we ended up going overtime (not to the fault of Joey but family getting too carried away with speeches!), Joey quickly and expertly adjusted his set and made the final dance party something we will never forget. I truly mean this when I say don’t look any further. Don’t hesitate in hiring Joey—if we had to do it all over again, we would pick Cello Joe, every single time. —and to Joey: thank you so much for everything. You truly made our wedding a day we will never forget.

We cannot say enough kind words about how amazing Sarah is in every aspect! Right from the start, she was so prompt in answering any questions I had and willing to personalize our ceremony just for us. I had an instant connection with her so much so that I asked her if she could officiate our wedding and she thankfully said yes! BEST DECISION EVER! I was so stressed trying to put a wedding together in just a few weeks! Having to only communicate with one person for both the violin and an officiant made this process so much easier! She seamlessly went from violinist to officiant, back to violinist! She also came early to set up and make sure everything would go perfectly, which put my anxious heart at ease. Through our conversations she customized our ceremony perfectly while playing all the songs we requested! She went above and beyond for us, and we are eternally grateful .

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.

Roland was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ! From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation we had. One of the most important things to us was having someone who could read the room and know exactly when to change the song and Roland nailed it! He picked up on the energy of the party perfectly and kept the dance floor alive all night. What really stood out is that he went above and beyond just the DJ role. Not only was he professional, kind, and such a positive presence on our big day, but he also stepped in to help with photography and little things that most DJs would never think to do. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great he was. We had talked about weaving in a little EDM during the reception, and he executed that flawlessly, it added the exact vibe we wanted without missing a beat.

For couples getting married, I will include a wedding playlist template for you to pick the songs/genres you would prefer me to play and it will help provide some structure from the start of your ceremony til the end of your reception.

I've been playing sax professionally in all genres of music since age 18 and focused on playing club/dance music with DJs since the mid 2000s. I am versatile enough to play with your DJ or I can provide a sax+DJ package. I live in Southern California but perform all over the country and internationally. If you're willing to cover my travel expenses then I'm happy to com perform for you where ever you are! Having me on live sax alongside your DJ is a great way to set your musical experience apart. It combines the best of a DJ experience but with a unique live element that you and your guests will not forget! Visit my Instagram for more.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing entertainment from our wedding, and thanks to Jason we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He is truly talented, professional and brought the party- we couldn’t imagine having an event without him and DJ Misha again.

Hey, I'm Ben! A Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music has been featured on ABC's Nashville, and in American Songwriter magazine. I delight in creating unforgettable wedding experiences, with the perfect song at the perfect moment. With over two decades performing at iconic Twin Cities venues like First Avenue, the Fitzgerald and State Theaters, and touring nationally and internationally, I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually with couples and guests.

My wife and I had Ben play at our wedding in Nashville and it remains one of our favorite moments ever. Ben is a pro and super personable. We asked him to play a specific set list and he delivered better than we ever could have hoped for. Easy 5/5 rating here - highly recommend Ben and his music.
