Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

I'm an event DJ serving Central Texas with 20 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.

DJ Phil Does It was the DJ at our June 7, 2025, wedding at the Addison Grove in Austin, Texas. He was one of the most unique vendors we could have chosen, and he did an exceptional job. The vinyl bar he offers—letting guests sort through crates of vinyl to make requests—not only made guests feel involved and gave them something to do, it's also an offering I've never seen before from any other DJ. The selections, all curated by Phil based on our meetings, were amazing, and he had something for everyone: the millennial bride and groom, our millennial and Gen Z friends, and our boomer and Gen X parents. I would recommend DJ Phil Does It to absolutely anyone getting married in the Austin area. Such a phenomenal experience from start to finish. You can't go wrong with his song-selection spreadsheets, timely communication, and overall great attitude and personable nature. He really curated our wedding music to feel like us, catering to us and our guests rather than just playing generic wedding music. Again, I can't recommend him enough!

We cannot recommend DJ Neema enough. He is the BEST of the best. As a musician and dancer and coming from American (Texan) and Indian backgrounds, the music for our wedding was very important to us. Historically, we’ve found wedding DJs to be subpar. Between the poor choice in songs and the lack of beat matching ability, we‘ve always had critiques about the DJs when we attend weddings. From the initial consultation to the wedding day itself, DJ Neema was dedication to making the musical experience authentic and meaningful. Initially, we interviewed two DJs and DJ Neema stood out with his impeccable mix that seamlessly blended our eclectic music tastes, from Houston rap to Bollywood hits. On the wedding day, he worked his magic, keeping the dance floor alive the entire time — keep in mind that this was a daytime and a completely dry wedding! His ability to read the crowd and curate the perfect vibe for the event was truly impressive. When it started sprinkling, neither our guests nor DJ Neema wanted to stop so with the help from some friends, they constructed a cover for DJ Neema’s set up with a table cloth and dry cleaning plastic and kept the party going (see pic)! Just incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Neema to anyone looking for a musical maestro who goes above and beyond to make your special day truly yours.

DJ Isaac’s was quick to respond when first inquiring about his services. Was very detailed in conveying the information. Very fair in pricing. His communication was professional, punctual and effective, making it that much easier during the planning. On the day of the party, DJ exceeded our expectations - him and his team were friendly and professional, busting out with some great tunes.

Our goal is to curate the perfect entertainment at every event to execute our client's vision from start to finish. Uptown Drive has a very diverse song catalog that is well suited to serve as the soundtrack to your wedding reception or to be featured at your corporate event. We also offer an amazing interactive (live band karaoke) element to our corporate shows which is a total hit! We love to highlight our musicianship while playing the best dance songs from the Motown / Soul eras all the way through the hits of the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today’s top 40.

Uptown Drive was recommended by our event planners, and we were absolutely blown away by their performance! Our team did most of the interfacing with the band, but Greg was incredibly responsive on the few occasions we did reach out directly. Pretty much everyone who attended our party commented on the band being the best they've ever experienced. They selected great music based on our feedback, they deftly guided the flow throughout the night, and they kicked it up a notched and really got the party going after dinner. We planned to lean on a live band to be our primary entertainment, and they exceeded our expectations! We will be forever grateful to Uptown Drive for being a big part of what made our party so memorable for us and our guests.

Exodus Sound Company 

5.0

Austin, TX
  • DJ

We decided to name our business Exodus Sound Company because it is always our goal to walk our own path as entertainers. We’re going exciting places that are uncharted in the wedding entertainment business. The journey of the last few years has led us to a new kind of business. One that combines live music with DJ for the seamless event filled with variety and exploding with unique wonder at every turn.

We were beyond impressed with Mark! Not only is he a fantastic DJ, but he's a skilled pianist, singer, emcee, and overall entertainer. Our guests loved him and kept bringing up how amazing he was even months after our wedding . He was recommended by a friend who'd attended a wedding where he played and we similarly have shouted his praises! We hired Mark for our wedding reception. We had a fantastic interview with him where he got a feel for what we liked, our story, and our vibe as a couple. We had a long "do not play" list which might have limited a basic wedding DJ, but not Mark. He went off of our favorite songs, artists, and genres and kept our guests on the dance floor. My only "complaint" is that the songs were so good that I kept delaying the cake cutting (not a big deal at all) because I didn't want to leave the dance floor! He is incredibly engaging and professional. His emceeing was spot-on: his timing was perfect, he kept things organized, and he took care to get all the names and pronunciations correct (which seems like a little thing, but I've seen it go wrong so many times and you don't want that!). He brought all his equipment, so we didn't have to worry about anything. The mics and sound were the perfect volume for speeches etc. and there were zero technical issues. Absolutely seamless. Our budget for a DJ was a few hundred less than what we paid for Mark, but the difference in cost was worth it many times over for having a DJ of his caliber plus the added treat of live music. Honestly, what we paid was a bargain and I'm beyond glad and relieved we went with Mark rather than hunting for a cheap DJ/experience (especially after attending so many weddings lately and seeing the wide range in what you can get). Mark sang and played piano during dinner, which was really nice. While people could talk and enjoy their food, some of the singing was so good I had to stop and listen at times! He has runs for days (some swooning during 'Tennessee Whiskey') and Grandma loved that he did some Sinatra. Overall, not only was he a reliable, timely, communicative vendor, but he helped make our wedding the best night of our lives with his musicianship. Things couldn't have gone more smoothly. Not only would I hire him again in a heartbeat, I tried to get him for our company holiday party but he was already booked (not surprising given how great he is!). Highly recommend!!! Thanks, Mark!

Christian brings over 22 years of experience to your wedding or special event and is highly acclaimed as a premier wedding professional in Austin and high performance DJ worldwide. If a busy dance floor, music sound quality, volume control, customized music planning, infectious and enthusiastic MC’ing, high caliber DJ mixing skills is a priority at your wedding or special event contact Christian to set up a consult and vision sharing call or in person meeting.

We knew Christian from the wedding industry (I’m a venue owner in Austin) and his DJ sets at clubs around the city. When my wife, Kari, and I decided to get married in Tulum, we knew the music and party were going to be some of the most important aspects of the day—it sets the tone for everything: the ceremony, pre-ceremony vibes, the walk, dinner, reception, and of course, the party. Christian went above and beyond. He met with us, listened to our vision, and even challenged us where needed to ensure we got the experience we truly wanted, rather than trying to make everyone else happy (which, let’s be honest, you can’t). That perspective was invaluable. We trusted Christian so much that we chose to book him and have him travel with us to Tulum rather than hiring someone local. We knew he was the absolute best man for the job, and he proved us right. The result? The best day and party of our lives. To this day, people STILL talk about how epic it was. Christian had everyone dancing—friends, family, parents, aunts, uncles, kids. The energy was unmatched, and the music flowed seamlessly through every part of the day. If music is a priority for you—if you truly appreciate the art of it and want it to elevate your wedding or event—Christian will not disappoint. A world-renowned DJ and producer who knows how to curate the perfect experience, he’ll make your day unforgettable.

Doug Anthony - Solo Guitar Austin

Austin, TX
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400

I have been playing guitar in Austin, Texas... ...since 1989. I am a full time musician and I perform regularly for corporate events and weddings. Even though I have been playing the guitar for so long there is still so much to learn. I enjoy the process of learning new things and improving on what I already know. There are endless ways you can play a song and there are so many good songs to play. I was born in 1966 so I am heavily influenced by the music around that era which explains The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and The Great American Songbook.

As a wedding officiant since 2006, I have worked with Doug countless times. Whenever I show up at a ceremony and see him there I get really excited for multiple reasons. First and foremost, he is a wildly brilliant guitarist. Second--he is so calm and pleasant and professional. I know the ceremony is going to be fantastic in large part because of his presence.

I love to bring my passion and knowledge of what makes a private party dance set work to your event! I want to make your special day a seamless process, and most importantly, I want to get everyone singing and dancing together

We loved having Radiogold play at our wedding. I’ve been friends with Chris a long time and so it was really special to have him and the band play. Dance floor was always crowded and hopping! They played a diverse range of songs: pop, rock, 80s, country… and everything ran super smoothly with them leading the schedule! People kept coming up to us to say “the band is so amazing, and this is the best wedding ever!” I’m confident Radiogold was a huge part of why everyone loved it so much.
