For the dreamiest weddings, needlessly lit parties, and all the priceless memories. My name is Andrew and I'm a Virginia based DJ/Emcee or "Party Captain" as I prefer to call it. It is my absolute joy and privilege to run a business that specializes in creating and sharing once in a lifetime experiences for the most beautiful awe-inspiring people. Though, at this point there have been many, every wedding, party, and dance, I'm lucky enough to captain still brings me childlike joy and excitement just like the first time I was entrusted with a precious janky aux.

Andrew from Upchurch Entertainment is the BEST! We hired him for our wedding and he brought the party. He was able to even get family members up and dancing that never typically dance! Everyone kept complimenting how much fun he was and even my photographer wanted his info. It is clear that Andrew is passionate about what he does from his professionalism during planning to him smiling and getting into the music during the event. I'll be recommending him to everyone who needs a DJ in the future.

Sound Enforcement DJ Service

5.0

Charlottesville, VA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,895

For over seventeen years my business has focused on weddings. It is my goal to create the atmosphere you have envisioned and help make your ceremony and reception flow smoothly. My style is low key and can be summed up in a few words as, "Elegant Fun". The day should be approached with elegance and poise, but at the same time remembering it is also a celebration. After all, that’s why you have invited your friends and family to your wedding. I love what I do. I love music, and I love weddings. I take great pride in what I do but my goal is not only to play music; it is to ensure that every wedding I do is better than the one before.

TD was amazing, professional yet laid back. He was recommended to us by our caterer, and after speaking with him on the phone, he was hired! He walked us though everything, and had a detailed form to fill out and get back to him about what kind of music we wanted or didn't want, when we wanted it played, and timeline for the event. We spoke on the phone about a week before the wedding to go over the paper, and he was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The day of the wedding, our timeline got moved around due to the health of a family member, and TD barely blinked an eye. He moved songs around for us easily, took examples of songs we had given him and expanded on them, and had everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. I would highly recommend TD and Sound Enforcement to anyone looking for a competent, professional and fun DJ.
