About

Hi, I'm Jonathan Ellington— a wedding musician and DJ in Austin, Texas, who loves turning big moments into unforgettable memories. I work closely with each couple to understand their style, favorite songs, and vision for the day. Whether you want timeless classics, modern hits, or a little bit of everything, I'll help create a soundtrack that feels authentic and keeps everyone smiling (and dancing). With years of experience performing at weddings and private events, I provide refined live music and professional DJ services tailored to each couple's vision. From intimate ceremonies to grand receptions, I pride myself on handling sound, timing, and flow with precision — ensuring your celebration runs smoothly and beautifully. My goal is simple: exceptional music, flawless execution, and a dance floor your guests won't want to leave!

Voted Top 10 "Best Guitarist" in 2018 and 2019 Austin Chronicle Music Awards. In classical guitar, I offer instrumental music from a vast repertoire of Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, providing a pleasant background to any wedding ceremony, reception, or private event.

I can also provide acoustic guitar/singing in contemporary genres like rock, blues, folk, soul, top 40 hits, and country. I take requests, and can learn any particular song(s) that you desire for the event. I build my reputation around being professional, punctual, and affordable for each and every event, and dedicated to making your wedding or event a very special day!

Wonderful musician and Singer

Wonderful guitarist and singer. He was professional, extremely flexible, and he was helpful in song selections. He learned songs for the wedding service. His music during dinner was enjoyable. Highly recommend.
