Our DJ (DJ Essen) totally killed it. The playlist was perfect, I couldn’t find time to sit down, It was hard to stop dancing. We had a lot of different vibes to keep entertained and he did a great job. Communication before the wedding was great he was always there to answer any questions I had promptly. Announcements were clear and timeline was kept on track, and energy was on point.  Photobooth services were also great, such a nice addition to the wedding. Very grateful the made our wedding so memorable 3 Thanks again JJ!

Hey, I’m DJ KOOLROD — a music lover, crowd reader, and energy creator. I’ve been DJing for years, and what drives me is seeing people come together through music. There’s nothing better than watching a packed dance floor and knowing the mix is hitting just right. Weddings are special to me because every couple has their own vibe and story, and I get to help bring that to life through sound. From smooth dinner tunes to high-energy party anthems, I tailor every set to fit your style and keep the night flowing perfectly. My goal is simple: make sure your celebration feels unforgettable, effortless, and full of joy from start to finish.

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!

Brodrick was very responsive from my first inquiry. We enjoyed our first meeting with him. When we chose Any Event Productions, we asked if Brodrick, which is Mr. DJ Smooth B, could be our DJ, and we were happy that he was available! While his other DJs would also be great, Brodrick really connected with our personalities. Choosing songs was simple, though it was hard to make decisions. We trusted his professional opinion, and it was a good choice! We highly recommend Any Event Productions, and we specifically recommend DJ Smooth B for your wedding.

This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision.

DJ David was a referral and ended up being a PERFECT MATCH! He was super responsive from day one, and went above and beyond for us. We inquired about additional lighting for the venue and he connected us with another great vendor. When we told our coordinator he was our DJ, she was also thrilled and said we are in GREAT hands. He doesn’t just hit play on his laptop lol, he mashes them up so well and actually WORKS to understand the vibe of the guest and wedding couple. I would give more starts if I could!

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.

I run LoneStar Entertainment and focus on weddings where everything runs smoothly from ceremony through the final song.

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.

Brad made our wedding day feel completely stress-free. The ceremony audio was clear, the timing flowed smoothly, and we never had to worry about what came next. Once the reception started, he kept the energy right and the dance floor stayed busy without feeling forced. He was organized, easy to work with, and handled everything professionally so we could just enjoy our night.

I met the The Lindsley Brothers while they were playing at a winery in Santa Barbara and my friends and I loved their set so much I begged them to travel to my wedding and play at our welcome dinner. They agreed and absolutely made the event. They have such a great set and really great vibe. They were so easy to work with and made sure they played music that we liked. I had multiple friends ask me for their contact information in the last couple of years to play at their weddings/events.

I’m a solo acoustic singer and guitarist who performs for weddings and private events throughout the Austin area. Music has always been a huge part of my life, and I love being able to share it during some of the most meaningful moments people experience. There’s something special about performing live during a ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception and seeing how the right song can shape the mood of the entire moment. I enjoy working with couples to understand the feel they want for their day and helping create a musical backdrop that complements it naturally.

Several people asked us where we found him! He was also professional, easy to work with, and made everything simple. Highly recommend for any wedding event.
