“We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. 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. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

Nate Jones Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Toledo, IL

I've been a DJ since 1997 starting out on the radio in college rotating between the morning wake-up, afternoon drive and late night. I have been DJing weddings since 2005 and I love watching soon-to-be newlyweds, their friends, and families enjoy themselves and being responsible for leading those once in a lifetime moments.

“First, Nate, thank you for making our wedding dreams come true. Not only did our family and friends love and adore you, but you also redefined what it means to go above and beyond and care about people. That is simply what Nate does best. There aren't enough paragraphs to describe our experience with Nate. He always went out of his way to care for us. We were the priority. The process leading up to our wedding was so smooth. We always looked forward to our meetings with Nate. He made them fun and introspective, and he's highly accessible. From our first meeting, my now wife and I were hooked. He has a wonderful personality, and he never stopped caring about us. He made sure that our vision was met and executed to perfection. Also, the extra attention to detail was the icing on the cake. He listened to our vision and music choices and helped make our wedding possible. What is so great about Nate is that we never once felt like we were a number. Through this process, we all became family. In terms of the ceremony and reception, everything was perfect. The audio, the music, the vibes, and especially the beautiful uplighting were immaculate because of Nate. Not once did his energy drop, if anything, he made sure the party continued, and it did. He took control and didn't miss a beat on our special day. Nate understood exactly what to play, and he made our day easier. That's exactly what a DJ is supposed to do and then some. Also, his love and knowledge of music is just phenomenal. I know the themes of this review have been about family, caring, and service, and that's exactly what you get from Nate. Also, we had an amazing saxophone player who was fantastic. He's a great addition to Nate's platform. Let me say this. If we could get married again, Nate would automatically be the person we'd go with. There's no one like Nate, and there won't be. Nate is special and is truly one-of-a-kind. He creates memories, and we're just waiting to be able to have him as a DJ at another family function. He deserves all of the stars, likes, you name it. His YouTube page is amazing as well. Like I said, he is family now, and we love you, Nate! Which is why Nate Jones will always be our DJ.”
