​We are your husband and wife wedding entertainment team!! ​ 20+ Years’ Experience We have more than 20 years of experience as a DJ/MC. We have loved music our whole lives and pride ourselves in getting people to dance to their favorite tunes. Your Wedding, Your Music Whether you want to throw it back to the ’90s or want the song you danced to in college, don’t worry. You get as much or as little control as you want of the playlist. Our Happiness Guarantee You deserve a day of pure happiness filled with great music and dancing.

We had our wedding at the North Carolina Aquarium, and DJ Lady J was amazing to work with. She helped bring our dream music to life for our outdoor ceremony on the pier, then seamlessly transitioned everything, quickly moving equipment and having things pre-set so we could enjoy music during cocktail hour inside the aquarium while the dance floor was being set up in the jellyfish room. She worked incredibly hard behind the scenes, and it did not go unnoticed. She and her partner even managed to get some of my more reluctant, non-dancing family members out on the dance floor, which was such a fun surprise! Throughout the planning process, she was easy to communicate with, responsive, and always willing to answer questions and problem-solve when needed. We truly appreciated the care, effort, and energy her and her partner put into making our wedding day so special.
