Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

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!

Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor.

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.

Raleigh Keegan Music was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment! From the moment we first spoke with Raleigh, we were impressed by his professionalism, energy, and collaborative spirit. He listened closely to our vision and worked to ensure our reception was an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Raleigh brought his talented 5-piece band, and their high-energy performance had everyone on the dance floor all night long. We met with Raleigh a couple times before the wedding to solidify our must-haves on the playlist, and he nailed all of our song requests! Multiple guests commented that it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding. I am so grateful for Raleigh's incredible talent and can't recommend him highly enough!

Long before graduating high school, DJ Bently had discovered his calling: crafting memories through music. Before playlisting was a thing, DJ Bently was curating musical journeys that take people across different genres and countries. Now, over 20 years later, that method has taken him from concert and festival stages across the country to private events for your favorite artists to award-winning club residencies to family-friendly charity events and wedding ceremonies.

The quality of his work was amazing. He went above and beyond, listening carefully to all of our music requests and ensured he played every song we wanted to make our day truly special. Social Sounds was an integral part of making our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend their services to any couple planning their big day.
