RTH9 Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Production company
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Monticello, FL

I became a DJ because I love creating moments where people feel free, present, and fully alive. When the right song drops at the right time, it can change the entire mood of a room, bring people together, and turn an event into an unforgettable experience. I’m passionate about DJing because no two events are the same. Every crowd has its own rhythm, and I take pride in reading the room, blending styles, and delivering music that feels natural, intentional, and exciting. DJing isn’t just what I do , it’s how I serve the energy of the room and help people celebrate life.

“From day one, RTH9 Entertainment made the planning process painless with their quick and helpful responses to every question we threw their way. The DJ showed up with flawless mixes and seamless blends that kept our guests dancing all night long—the production quality was elite. What really impressed us was how well they worked with our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. The energy and professionalism they brought to our reception took our celebration to the next level. If you're looking for a top-notch DJ who actually cares about making your day special, RTH9 Entertainment is the real deal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

I am DJ Olu, the owner of Akanbi Entertainment, and I am deeply passionate about the transformative power of music at weddings. To me, a wedding is much more than just a party; it is a unique celebration of love that deserves a perfectly curated soundtrack. With experience performing at over 200 diverse weddings, I take immense pride in my ability to read the room and blend genres—from high-energy Afrobeats to classic Soul and Top 40—to ensure your dance floor stays packed and your guests leave with memories that last a lifetime.

“We are still on a high from our wedding! If you want a dance floor that stays packed from start to finish, you need to book DJ Olu. We were a bit nervous about how to blend our Latin heritage with a love for Country, but Olu made it look effortless. We would recommend DJ Olu to literally anyone seeking a wedding DJ. He is a true professional who actually cares about the vibe of your big day. Best decision we made!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Second Song and our DJ Jeff Collins for our September 14th wedding. Everyone on the Second Song team (and Rob in particular) was very responsive and communicative. The virtual meeting with DJ Jeff went smoothly, and the shared Google Doc that Second Song provided to track the event details was intuitive and easy to use. Rob and his team helped us make custom cuts of our ceremony music at no additional cost. We also booked our uplights through their team, and they were beautiful. Not only could you select the color, but the lights could also be programmed to cycle through colors for more of a party vibe. I could not recommend DJ Jeff Collins more highly. He was professional and on time, and most importantly, had incredible energy. He hit all of our requests for the evening, both for the dinner portion of the night and the dance party afterwards. He worked seamlessly with our planner and made all of the right announcements at the right time, and a large part of the evening's success was due to his energy and enthusiasm. Thank you Second Song for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! If you are on the market for a wedding DJ (or a DJ for any large event), look no further!”

From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception — all in three different locations — everything was absolutely seamless. Jimmy went above and beyond to make our wedding night unforgettable.

We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought.

“They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!”

“When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!”

“We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!”

Every event is different, and my job is to listen, understand what matters to you, build the right musical experience, and keep the reception moving naturally. I’m just as comfortable handling the formalities and microphone as I am taking over the dance floor when it’s time to party. Best of Bay Nominee - 2026

“We're GRATEFUL that we met Dan! He made our celebration SO MUCH FUN! He knows what to do, when to do it, and how to navigate tricky situations. Would hire him again, will always recommend him.”

“Ana Carita was an excellent wedding violinist for our special day. Her communication throughout the planning process was outstanding, she met with me several times to discuss what we were looking for. She truly listened to what my husband and I were looking for and delivered. The quality of her work and value was excellent as well. We provided her with a list of songs that we love as a couple, and played them beautifully during our reception. Ana was amazing and I wish I could get a clip of the songs she played on our wedding day. Overall, I highly recommend Ana Carita for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding violinist!”
