Mark Addington Events 
Rating: 5.0 (98 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Waterford, CA

I’m Mark Addington, owner, founder, emcee, DJ, public speaker, and most importantly…creative at heart. I started my DJ career over 20 years ago for fun and fell in love with it along the way. My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process. I’m here to communicate and plan pre-wedding so you and your guests can leave it all on the dancefloor the day of the wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Wow, what can't I say about Mark and his incredible abilities! From the get go, Mark was so incredibly easy to work with and figure out every piece of logistics. We had spent many hours interviewing DJs and trying to find the match, and it was such an easy choice the moment we started talking with Mark. I did some live music during our reception our and Mark was so gracious enough to let me use some of his equipment and helped me making it all come together for a rocking, good time. Mark goes above and beyond his expected duties as a DJ. He pays attention to the crowd's energy, he is attentive throughout, he has intentionality that is felt in each interaction. We are so blessed to have worked with, Mark. If you are still reading this, then you need to just seal the deal with him because obviously he's the right one for the job.”

She was very organized and provided us with a comprehensive planning timeline. Jennifer incorporated two new entrees for our dinner service that were not in their original menu selection. During the tasting, she offered the highest degree of service. She also provided the wine pairings for each dish! Jennifer coordinated with all our vendors. She planned a day of coronation timeline that was perfectly executed and was flexible with any changes. She really has a caring eye for detail and made our dream wedding a reality!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $799
  • Serves Waterford, CA

Character-driven DJ with 15+ years of experience. I honor families, lead with integrity and faith, keep the spotlight on the couple, and curate music that respects all ages and highlights love. I’m known for a calm, organized planning process that helps celebrations flow smoothly.

“As a DJ myself—and someone who loves EDM and definitely has high expectations—I was honestly blown away. From the start, he carried himself with so much professionalism and humbleness, which really stood out. He took our favorite EDM tracks from the raves where my wife and I met and worked them into the night in a way that felt meaningful, not forced. At the same time, he somehow kept our families fully entertained… and they do not like EDM lol That balance is not easy, but he nailed it. He played those classic songs everyone knows but can never name, kept all generations engaged, and even helped our families appreciate our EDM instead of tuning it out. On top of the music, he was just a genuinely kind, humble person. You don’t always expect that level of humbleness from someone with this much talent. We’re so happy we booked him and couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding.”
