If you are contemplating the price, let me just say it is worth every penny and more! These guys went above and beyond their roles. DJ Scott was amazing and made all of our emo dreams come true. He rolled with the flow and even helped us get back on track when our timeline got messed up! The photobooth was also worth every bit and we even got the cutest photo book with all the fun pictures everyone took!! Keith helped so much dealing with our crowd, wild nephew and even helped hang our neon sign! We will recommend this company to everyone and for sure use them for future events! Thank you so much Scott and Keith for making our day even more special. Much love guys

Or the song you and your friends always danced to in college? No problem! Our DJs are here to help you plan the perfect party!

We had the best experience with Cody from Northern Lights as our DJ! From start to finish, he was professional, communicative, and so easy to work with. He made sure every part of our wedding had the perfect music, all based on what we chose, which made everything feel so personal and “us.” One of our favorite touches was our Austin Powers–themed entrance (now that our last name is Powers!), and Cody absolutely nailed it — he even recorded it with the perfect accent, which made the moment unforgettable and had everyone laughing. On the wedding day, he got everything exactly right and kept the energy up all night. The dance floor was full, and our guests had such a great time — which was exactly what we wanted! If you’re looking for a DJ who is fun, detail-oriented, and truly delivers, we highly recommend Cody. He played such a big role in making our day so special! Northern Lights DJ Services were professional and attentive right from the beginning. They were also able to get us a live violinist as part of our ceremony and cocktail hour. We highly recommend!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning, his communication was fantastic and he was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He gave excellent recommendations, provided sample playlists, and a thorough questionnaire that we would've been completely lost without. A month before our big day, he attended our final venue walkthrough to ensure his equipment was compatible with the venue's sound system, which gave us great peace of mind! Having a bilingual MC was a huge bonus, especially since about half of our guests were attending from Mexico. He seamlessly transitioned between English and Spanish, making everyone feel included and keeping the energy high all night long. We loved that the dance floor was never empty, all of our guests, including my husband and I, had an absolute blast! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who is not only skilled but also attentive, accommodating and passionate in his work. He truly made our wedding celebration unforgettable! Thank you again Peter, it was perfect!

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Serves Hondo, TX

I run LoneStar Entertainment and focus on weddings where everything runs smoothly from ceremony through the final song. My role isn’t just playing music — it’s making sure ceremony audio is clear, announcements are handled professionally, and the reception flows naturally so guests stay engaged. I keep my setup clean and work with couples ahead of time so there are no surprises on the wedding day. The goal is simple: you get to enjoy your wedding while I handle the flow of the night.

We are glad to see Brad expanding on Zola. He was amazing. We got married 5 years ago during the COVID times. Brad handled our ceremony and reception beautifully. The sound was clear, the setup looked professional, and he kept the timeline smooth from start to finish. Once the music started, he read the crowd perfectly and kept all ages dancing. We had several guests ask about him afterward. Highly recommend!

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!

We were hesitant to hire a DJ for our wedding, we weren’t sure we really needed one, but wow we were wrong! Cory made everything so seamless, from start to finish. From my initial communications, we felt at ease with Cory. He was definitely the easiest vendor to work with out of everyone! He made sure he was providing exactly what we envisioned for music and audio, rather than what he might typically prefer. I even made the comment to him after the ceremony that I hadn’t even noticed he was there, he was just in the background ensuring the ceremony went off without a hitch! For the reception, he announced everything professionally and easily, and really did a great job playing songs that fit the mood. His work was absolutely worth his rate and more, a great value and very reasonable! I’m looking forward to recommending him to our friends and family, and working with him for our next bash as well!

While personally completing over 500 weddings and securing contracts from the likes of Google, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Forrester Technology and Spiceworks IT, DJ David has developed a diverse resume that is sure to impress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Davey helped make our wedding the most wonderful night we could have ever imagined. Ours was a non-traditional affair and his vibe, demeanor, and taste complimented our style perfectly. He confidently set up multiple PA's, mic'd our officiant and guest singer, and setup the most amazing lighting rig that would put most nightclubs in Austin to shame. Davey is a true professional and seemed to do everything with ease. During the actual ceremony he MC'd throughout the night, i.e. introducing the officiant, providing a segue-way to the toast, and politely directing our guests to dessert. He did so in an easy yet confident tone that was completely cringe-free. Musically, we were so happy with what Davey played. We requested a mix of well-known party-starters but noting too basic or over-played. He came with sophisticated remixes of old faves and served up some great 90's throwbacks as well. He then transitioned toward more contemporary dance music territory which setup our headlining DJ perfectly. Davey is anything but a basic wedding DJ with lame tunes and a cheap tux. If you're looking for someone who really gets it, is a breeze to work with, and honestly cares about your big event- you've found the one.
