Marty was a PHENOMENAL DJ for my recent North Carolina wedding. His friendliness, attention to detail and flexibility to our musical preferences all stood out in both our initial meeting and the reception party. Not only was he well-organized in how to build out his playlists for the reception alongside our input, but his audio setup worked perfectly for the ceremony and provided great sound for every step of the day.

One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it. David gave us suggestions on why certain lighting changes the whole vibe of the events. Used him for three events and all three were phenomenal. I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC. The MC at our reception was great as well. He got almost every single person engaged in the event and was able to get almost every person on the dance floor and no one left the dance floor.

From guiding the flow of the day to packing the dance floor all night long, I strive to make every event seamless, energetic, and stress-free.

After all, we're all about taking weddings from vows to vibes.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am a professional wedding coordinator turned queer bride and I was worried about finding a good DJ for our wedding. Many wedding DJs give me second hand embarrassment and create a cringey homecoming-y vibe. Also, we had a guest count of just 47 so we were worried about finding a DJ who could get the dance floor moving with such a small group. Frank was everything we were looking for and more!!! Frank absolutely BLEW US AWAY with his professionalism, talent, and personality! In meetings he was attentive, explained everything in detail, and really worked to get to know us as a couple instead of just a cookie cutter one size fits most format. QUEER COUPLES THIS IS YOUR DJ!!! As a queer couple, we were in search of vendors who would make us feel safe and welcome through the whole process. We absolutely found that in Frank! He was open and understanding of pronouns, identities, and family dynamics. He truly cared and listened to us about each and every aspect! We felt truly celebrated, safe, and welcome! On the big day everyone was telling us how well they could hear everything during the ceremony (it was outside and windy) and we gave alllllll the credit to Frank’s high quality equipment and skill. My spouse and I kept talking about how good of an announcer he was and how well spoken he was. Zero cringing on my end (which is HUGE for me)! His lighting and set up was professional and elegant. It didn’t take away from the rest of the decor while still lighting up on the dance floor beautifully and made for the perfect dancing atmosphere! Once it was time for dancing he kept the party going until the last song even with our small guest count! We had a blast and Frank played a MASSIVE role in that! He worked seamlessly with our planner and designer, Mia, with Little Acorns Events who recommended him! Our timeline, experience, and vibe was perfect thanks to their collaboration!!! We couldn’t possibly recommend Frank with PTEG enough! Trust me he will be the highlight of your event!

"Raging dance party" is Maskell's style on the turntables; always beatmatching, mixing, and reading the crowd, while amplifying the atmosphere with a substantial, coordinated lighting show. Flat, all-inclusive rates. Huge lightshow included free. No travel fee up to 12hrs from DC when practical.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mark Maskell was absolutely incredible. Even though we had an all-inclusive venue, he was my one non-negotiable outside vendor from the very beginning. As someone who has been to a million weddings and genuinely loves music and going out, I hate cheesy wedding music and forced line dancing. Mark was the only DJ whose bio openly said that if you are looking for that vibe, he is not the DJ for you. That honesty alone sold me. From the start, Mark went far above and beyond what was included in our contract. He spent countless hours helping us curate our wedding timeline, reviewing my very Type A spreadsheets, and offering thoughtful guidance. He honestly felt more like a second wedding planner than just a DJ during the planning process. And the lights. The lighting setup and light show were unreal and completely elevated the entire experience. Mark truly curates the music and the atmosphere to you as a couple, not just a generic wedding crowd. On top of all that, he is just a genuinely wonderful human. Easy to connect with, great dark humor, ADHD energy that matched ours perfectly. He is someone I would happily hang out with on a random Tuesday. Our dance floor vibes were immaculate, and we were the only wedding I have ever attended that did not have a single technical issue on the DJ’s end. Truly flawless execution. 10/10 would recommend to literally anyone who wants their wedding to feel intentional, fun, and actually cool.

Sam Hill Entertainment is based out of Charlottesville, VA with bands located throughout the Southeast. Over the last 25 years, Sam Hill has helped tens of thousands of brides and grooms book the best in live music across the 50 states and for fly-in international weddings! Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We cannot say enough great things about booking The Lone Rangers with Sam Hill Entertainment. Booking them for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the very first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Nearly every guest was on the dance floor at one point during the night, and they truly kept the party going. My new father-in-law was, and is still, talking about how amazing the band was. They completely brought the reception to life. Leading up to the wedding, the band leader, Nate, was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they were phenomenal across the board. The piano music during our ceremony was beautiful and set the perfect tone, and they did an excellent job MC-ing the reception. One of our favorite moments was how engaged the female singer was with the crowd. She brought so much fun energy and made a point to involve many of the kids and teenagers throughout the night, which was such a hit and made everyone feel included. It added an extra layer of joy and made the celebration even more memorable. Working with Sam Hill Entertainment was a pleasure and they make the process of booking a great band for your wedding very straightforward and smooth!

He totally got our vibe and kept the music going all night—people were on the dance floor the whole time. The songs were perfect, the transitions were smooth, and everything just flowed so naturally. He also helped keep things moving without making it feel like a production, which we really appreciated.

Also, I love to get every guest onto the dance floor, bringing high energy and a passion for music to every event he has the pleasure of entertaining.

Our big day was October 11 and having the Blendmasters team there to help us celebrate was an experience! From the ceremony setup to cocktail hour and then the reception, everyone had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the music. We also had the 360 Photo Booth which was a hit with our guests! We definitely had the wedding of our dreams and Blendmasters DJ services did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a professional and “turn-up”, having everyone on the dance floor kind of experience, Blendmasters is the way to go!

Your event is unique and special, so why should your entertainment be anything less? Combining the latest and greatest technology with super talented entertainers as Wedding DJs in Greensboro, NC allows us to create custom tailored experiences for each of our clients. Here at Fusion Sound and Lighting, “average” is not in our vocabulary. We are a specialized group of entertainers that take pride in being different than the crowd of “DJ companies” out there.

Fusion Sound And Lighting (DJ Rick) was a fantastic choice for our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, they were professional, punctual and extremely helpful in understanding our vision for the music and entertainment. On the day of the wedding, they brought an energized and fun vibe that kept our guests dancing all night long. They really took the time to ensure the music and flow of the event matched our style and preferences, and their attention to detail was evident in how seamlessly they executed the timeline. We couldn't have asked for a better team to keep the party going and make our special day so memorable.
