DJ KOOL ROD

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Kool Rod was easy to work with, very friendly and adaptable. The couple had some last minute requests and updates and he was quick to adjust and go with the flow! Quality of work was great, played a variety of songs and had experience with various types of music styles. Really fun and easy to talk to. Keep the party going and played songs the crowd enjoyed! Would highly recommend working with DJ Kool Rod for any event.

Jim has been so friendly and professional throughout this entire process — he’s made this a really seamless and exciting experience! Our DJ Rick was great at reading the room and adjusting the music from our curated track list to fit the vibe we were going for (we really wanted people to work the dance floor!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

Wedding Date: 10/28/22 Venue: Winfield Inn in Kyle, TX I don't think I could've asked for a better DJ for our wedding than David. Not only was he professional and organized, but he immediately understood the vibe we were going for and absolutely nailed it. I had friends texting me the day after our wedding saying "I still can't get over your DJ - I've never danced so hard at a wedding before!" (which is exactly what we were hoping). I would 11/10 recommend DJ David - he's AMAZING.

He kept the wedding on track the entire day and played such amazing songs as he read the vibe of the room. We also had the bridal party play the scavenger hunt game and he ran the whole thing!!!

  • Serves Thorndale, TX

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.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty much speechless because this band is THAT good. I first want to compliment, Greg Williams, the owner of Uptown Drive. From booking all the way through wedding day, he was nothing but responsive, respectful and a pleasure to work with. As for the reception, they made it what it was! I think what is incredible about them is they entertain everyone (not only those dancing on the dance floor) because every song is a TRUE performance. I am not lying when i say this, every time I have seen someone that attended my wedding, every one of them (young or old) comment on how great the band was. FYI I'm three months out from my wedding, so I've seen a lot of my guests since then. They played the right music while everyone was eating and visiting and knew exactly how to transition to dance floor time by doing a conga line. They let my husband and I get on stage and sing which we will remember and cherish forever. They came out into the crowd and let out our guest sing. They came out in the crown and danced with us! Me and some of my guests joke that we would like to have another wedding just so we can have them play again. I could absolutely not recommend this band anymore! Stop here and BOOK THEM!!! P.S. I have included some pics to show you how much of a good time me and all our guest were having. - AN EXTREMLY HAPPY BRIDE

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!

Let’s face it – great entertainment is one of the most important parts of a memorable wedding. Your Austin, Texas reception should be as unique as you and your fiancé.

DJ Ed was the prime example of good communication prior to the wedding. He made sure our specific wants and needs were addressed for music. He followed the playlist that we gave them, did a good job of getting people onto the dance floor and excited for our wedding (especially since it was a dry wedding) and was an affordable price for our budget. The cons were that for the ceremony, the music was longer than it should have been (stopping/starting during the ceremony and too loud). Overall did a great job with the trust we placed in his hands for our perfect day!

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.
