Listen… when I say this DLG Entertainment understood the assignment, I mean it! I stayed on the dance floor the entire night. Every song hit, the crowd was lit, and the energy never dropped. Deverin knew exactly what to play and when to play it. Hands down he is one of the best wedding DJs I’ve experienced!

I cannot say enough good things about Andrew & his team. Andrew worked with me to surprise my wife with a prerecorded message to play right before I walked down the aisle. He made my vision a reality and let me tell you the tears were flowing from everyone! I cannot thank him enough! Andrew and his team did an amazing job all night! He’s not just a DJ, he’s a hype man!! He kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long, playing absolute killer songs. His fun, upbeat, and personable personality made the entire night so fun!! I would recommend Andrew to anyone, any occasion, EVERY day!!! I know choosing vendors is stressful because there’s so many, but trust me, you will NOT be disappointed using Upchurch for your event!!

We were very happy with the band we chose for our wedding. They brought great energy, played a solid mix of music that kept our guests dancing, and added a fun vibe to the night. They were also flexible which i really appreciated. They were willing to work with our unique setup, including performing on a backyard stage we built. Most importantly, they really listened to what we wanted and tailored the music to match the tone we envisioned. Their professionalism and adaptability helped everything go smoothly.

Jeremy is the best DJ and MC a couple could ask for on their wedding day. Jeremy was upfront with us with how he is a good MC, but he might not be the perfect MC for your stereotypical wedding, but he reassured us that he is a really good DJ. Good thing our wedding wasn't stereotypical, so Jeremy was the right guy for the job. We chatted a few times over phone as well as met up in person to make sure we were on the same page on what was needed for the wedding reception. Jeremy understood how important the dance floor was to us, and we also had full trust in his ability as a DJ to keep the dancing going. All of our guests have let us know that Jeremy was one of the best DJs they ever danced to at a wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Daryle (DJ D Mac) created the exact vibe we were craving for our wedding. After multiple postponements due to COVID, our guests were ready to dance and celebrate like never before. We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, we couldn’t recommend DJ D Mac more highly. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for his talent and professionalism.

It is our goal to make certain we meet your expectations and will work with you to create your vision in every way.

Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the National Women's Art Museum in October!

Every time someone asks me what the highlight of our wedding was, I laugh — because as much as I loved each moment that I spent with my new husband, the real answer is THE BAND. From the second those opening chords of “Hot To Go” hit, I genuinely felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The energy was unreal. The dance floor was packed, the vibe was electric, and it was everything I had dreamed of and more. The lead singers were not only exceptionally talented, but also so kind, warm, and gracious. I have a musical background, and after a martini, I felt brave enough to join this marvelous band on stage, and they made me feel like an absolute rockstar (even though I’m quite sure I didn’t sound like one). Their presence and energy completely transformed the night. Our wedding would not have been the same without them — I truly mean that with my whole heart. And I have to give a special shoutout to the bass player — his energy was infectious! I seriously wanted to run over and give him the biggest hug. You could just feel how much joy the whole band brought to the stage. If you’re considering booking this band — DO IT. I am officially their #1 fan and will sing their praises to anyone who will listen. Thank you for giving us the most unforgettable night of our lives.

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the staff. They also had a bunch of suggestions when we were struggling to figure out how to move forward with various music ideas, and that really helped us flesh out our own vision. I would definitely recommend working with them!
