About Mark Addington Events

Mark Addington Events

Owner

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.

This journey started with a love for music, my dad’s vinyl and 2 turntables. I feel like I’ve lived a million lives but music and entertaining has always been a constant. I’ve worked at a casting agency, on movie and commercial sets, acted, modeled, DJ’d on the SF club scene, rocked thousands of events and even worked at my favorite job Pixar! I’m lucky to have so much amazingness in my life and am often told that you can hear my smile through the phone. But enough about me, let’s talk about you! I’m looking forward to hearing your love story! Let me know if you have a free minute to talk. I’m here for you!

    Best DJ/MC EVER!!!

    From the moment we started planning, Mark kept us in the loop every step of the way. He is so genuine and deeply cares about his work. Mark made it simple to share what we wanted—he'd guide us, but always listened to our vision. On the big day, he was outstanding!!! His MC skills were polished, the sound was crystal clear even during our windy ceremony, and he kept the energy going all night without ever feeling over the top. He even adjusted songs right up until the day before our wedding without making us feel rushed. He is very reasonably priced and worth every single penny. If you want a DJ who reads the room, delivers the party of your life, just reach out to Mark.

    Amazing DJ

    Mark did an amazing job for our wedding day! He made sure our music and audio was smooth for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He kept the dance floor going and was great at going with the energy of the room. He was a great communicator and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

    Can I give more than 5 stars?

    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.

    June 2026 Wedding

    From our first conversation with Mark, we knew we had found the right DJ for our wedding. He was proactive in understanding our vision and incredibly responsive to every question we threw at him. We challenged him with a multicultural playlist—our guests came from Italy, France, and Latin America—and Mark delivered beyond our expectations. He honored each culture through the music and MC work, keeping the dance floor packed all night with people we never expected to see dancing. His attention to detail and perfect timing made the entire day flow seamlessly, and his MC skills were genuinely impressive. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Mark Addington Events to any couple looking for a DJ who truly cares about making your day special.

    Mark is the BEST

    Mark was absolutely fantastic! It felt like he practically read our minds and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. He is one of those vendors that once you tell them what you’re looking for, you can trust that he will take care of it and do a fantastic job. Thank you so much for the best night Mark!


To maximize your time on the dance floor it is important to have a DJ who is also a strong emcee. Your emcee should make your guests feel like they are a part of the wedding and part of the adventure. They are there to work hand in hand with your vendors to help keep everyone on track and on time.
Oh yes! I love a good adventure and travel quite a bit. Just let me know and I'll be there. Favorite destination wedding so far...St.Thomas!
Totally! I work best knowing your dream or vision for the party. Curating a good music vibe for every moment of the party is where I excel!
Yes! I often provide music and microphones for both wedding ceremonies and for cocktail hour as well.
Yes! I've worked most venues in Northern California and would be happy to provide a COI and sign a vendor agreement. If they don't have one on file for me already I can get them a COI right away.
