Hi, I'm Nick Bryant! I am a singer-guitarist, and I've played professionally for nearly 10 years. I am the band manager of Velvet City Sound. From booking, to the send-off, and everything in between, expect nothing less than the best from VCS!

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked VCS for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and were so glad we did! We really felt like they had our best interests at heart from the moment we called to get a quote until our sparkler sendoff! Whatever you need musically, VCS takes care of it. We were even able to rent a full dance floor for a reasonable price that they assembled themselves. We were able to focus on being with our friends and family on our wedding day instead of stressing about the little things. Book VCS, and thank me later! ;)

Sean from North Georgia Weddings and Events was great to work with for our wedding! I had already booked a DJ, but was specifically looking for a company that would be able to provide cold spark machines for our first dance and our grand exit. I said I wanted as many as he could provide for both of those moments and he was able to use eight total machines (four on each side). The layout of them was perfect and made for some fantastic photos and videos. Sean also asked what the first dance song was ahead of time so he would know the piece of music and could then time the start of the cold spark machines with the first chorus of the song for a more dramatic effect. The crowd was shocked and amazed when they went off during our first dance and the timing was perfect! Sean was able to make the vision I dreamed about come to life and I could not be happier with how it was executed! He was easy to get in touch with and very communicative leading up to the event and the day of the event to make sure the timing for everything would work out. I would highly recommend Sean and North Georgia Weddings and Events to elevate the look of your event!!

Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.

Tyler from Jammin’ DJs brought the right vibes on our wedding night! We had live musicians for ceremony and cocktail hour, but starting with grand entrances and through dinner/dancing, Tyler seamlessly took over. Something important to look for in DJs is comfort making announcements, and that was very well done here. He made extra sure to check pronunciations and ensure what he was saying was what we wanted to happen. My husband and I love all kinds of music, so it was impressive that he sifted through the long list of requests with a through-the-decades method that had cohesiveness. The uplighting as part of the package was great, too. It signaled the change from classy ceremony and dinner with orange/gold tones to a bluer/neon dancing vibe. My only complaint (and I don’t think this is on Tyler’s side of the business) was that we very explicitly communicated over the phone that venue setup time was 2h before the ceremony, but that we wouldn’t be needing DJ services until post-cocktail hour. We made it through a phone call with John, a full contract-signing exchange, and a video conference with Tyler before Jammin’ DJs notified us we’d need to pay an extra 125 setup fee for the setup-to-usage delay. It was very stressful to have this on our plate during wedding week, and despite questioning this Jammin’ DJs stood firm. It felt like we got backed into a corner to make the company more money when we were in a bad position (close to the wedding!) On the scale of a wedding, maybe 125 isn’t that much, but it’s the fact that we felt repeatedly not listened to and that it was such a scramble time-wise making this leave a sour taste. I want to close this review by emphasizing this has little to do with Tyler and that I would still use this DJ service again! I just would be more clear and exchange more details in writing to defend myself next time. Thank you, Jammin’ DJs, for being a part of our day!

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

I’m Trey, and there is no point in making this more difficult than it has to be. I am here to play great music, read the room, and give unmatched musical performance. 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. Not to mention all of the strict timing cues, and behind the scenes work needed to make your event go off flawlessly. Music should be something that joy, and memories form from, not anxiety. Let me ensure that happens.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Sarah Beth! I was extremely stressed about choosing the right songs for our ceremony, but she was so calming, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She truly made everything feel easy and guided me in a way that took so much pressure off. She even went above and beyond by learning a new song that my husband absolutely loves, which meant so much to us. Honestly, my husband wasn’t fully on board with hiring a violinist at first, but after the wedding, he admitted it was one of the best decisions we made and was so glad we chose Sarah Beth! Her music added such a beautiful and special touch to our ceremony, and everything flowed perfectly thanks to her help with timing and coordination. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. My only advice to future brides is to make sure you have someone record this part of your day or designate a family member to capture some moments—I didn’t, and I definitely regret not having more footage of such a special addition. If you’re considering a violinist, I highly recommend Sarah Beth. She truly helped make our day perfect!

Your wedding deserves more than someone who just presses play. I'm Jason Roby, owner of Jason Roby Entertainment. As a professional DJ, musician, vocalist, and experienced MC, I create receptions that feel effortless, keep guests engaged, and fill the dance floor. Every celebration is customized around your personalities, your guests, and the experience you want people talking about long after the last dance.

As someone who has danced my entire life and after being around countless DJs over the years, I can say with total confidence that Jason Roby is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve also danced my entire life, so I’m extra particular about music flow, rhythm, and keeping a beat you can actually move to. He absolutely nails it. I’m picky about DJs. Nothing drives me crazier than a DJ who can’t keep a steady beat or doesn’t know how to read the room. Jason Roby exceeded every expectation. He’s not just a DJ - Jason is a musician and a great singer, and you can tell immediately. His knowledge of music shines through in the way he keeps the flow smooth, the transitions clean, and the dance floor moving. Every song made sense with the next one, which is rare but so important for keeping guests dancing. What really sets him apart, though, is his personality. He connects with people so naturally—clients, guests, all ages—which instantly makes the atmosphere more fun and engaging. He’s warm, charismatic, and knows how to bring the crowd together without ever being over the top. It’s the kind of presence that turns a playlist into an experience. His wide range of music knowledge is a huge benefit, especially at weddings. He keeps everyone included—from teens to grandparents—and offers thoughtful ideas for special songs and moments throughout the night. He’s not just a DJ; he’s a talented singer and true musician, and that background shows in how he reads the room and keeps the energy exactly where it needs to be. His transitions are seamless, his timing is spot-on, and he knows how to keep people on the dance floor from start to finish. If you’re looking for a DJ who understands music, understands people, and brings genuine talent and heart to every event, we highly recommend him.

James was the DJ for my wedding just two weeks ago! Going into the planning process, I knew Born to DJ because James also did my sister's wedding. He is one of the only DJ's I know that constantly reads the crowd. If he can tell people aren't liking a song, he will change it to keep everything lively. I wanted my wedding day to be a huge party, and I really wanted people dancing for the majority of it. That is not an easy thing to do but I have seen James keep people dancing and engaged at my sister's wedding and now mine. The planning couldn't have been easier, and I always felt reassured after speaking with him. Born to DJ couldn't have done better and I highly HIGHLY recommend them.

Raleigh Keegan Music was the perfect choice for the entertainment at our wedding. From the very first conversation, Raleigh and his team were so easy to talk to and really listened to our vision for the day. Their professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch - they learned a special song for our first dance, kept the crowd engaged and focused on celebrating our special day. The energy they brought to the dance floor enhanced everything to make our wedding truly unforgettable. We could not recommend Raleigh and his crew enough - you will not regret hiring them!
