Best Entertainer/DJ Ever!

We just celebrated my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding! We chose Karl as our entertainer. He came highly recommended to us by our venue. After looking at his website, we felt his personality/style would be a perfect fit our event. In addition to providing the ceremony music, and being the DJ for the dancing portion of the wedding, we chose to have Karl and his pianist play music during cocktail hour (so glad we did this)! He is extremely personable, professional, and talented. He continually communicated with us and always wanted to make sure he took care of any of our concerns. Karl definitely kept the crowd on the dance floor! Such a fun night! He is top-notch!

Don't think twice - Book Karl today!

Cannot recommend Karl enough!! He DJd our wedding at Arrowhead in September 2024. He had everyone of ALL ages out on the dance floor the whole night. He was a great MC - funny too.

Also, last minute we added his VOX package where he sang into a crooner microphone during our cocktail hour. If you are thinking about adding this, do it. Our guests thought it was the coolest thing! Absolutely loved when he started singing "Feeling Good" before the bridal party intros. Karl has a beautiful voice.

Thank You Karl!

Karl came as a recommended vendor by our venue and now we know why! His unique approach with the crooning during cocktail hour combined with a more traditional DJ during the reception was top notch. My husband and I have a very diverse taste in music and were a little worried about some of the more obscure songs we requested. Karl didn't even bat an eye! We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Karl for helping us celebrate!

The best DJ & entertainer around!!

Karl was AMAZING! He was so helpful during the planning process and really captured our style and what we envisioned for our wedding. My guests LOVED his singing during the cocktail hour, and the songs he sang were great - a jazzy No Diggity?! It was awesome. For the dancing part of our reception, he played all of our favorite party songs for all ages. So many of my guests said, "this is the first wedding I have been to where the dance floor was full and grooving the entire time!" Looking at Karl's instagram is what reeled us in, so if you are thinking about booking him, look at the awesome videos he posts and you will be convinced! Thank you Karl for everything - best DJ around!!

Incredible Musician and DJ!! Highly recommend!

Karl is INCREDIBLE! There is no other way to describe his professionalism and work as the musician and DJ. From the very beginning, he was so communicative and answered all of our questions. He sang live music at our cocktail hour AND our first dance song and it was amazing. Our guests are still talking about it!!! For the DJ part of the night, he outdid himself! We directed our guests as needed and was very fun yet professional on the mic. I gave him song suggestions and he ran with it making it the best dance floor for people of all ages all night long. We cannot thank you enough Karl! Wish we could do it all again. Highly highly recommend!

Amazing DJ!!

If you’re looking for a DJ who can keep the dance floor alive, sing, and be available for any question or concern you have leading up to your big day, look no further than Karl. He was an amazing part of our day and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. He cared about our vision for our big day, and provided expert advice & insight when needed. We never had a dull moment on the dance floor. Karl played music through the decades that kept all of our guests happy, and was a fantastic emcee that kept our night moving smoothly. Everyone we talk to tells us how amazing our DJ was! I would highly recommend Karl for DJ, band, and emcee needs!!

Fantastic DJ!

Karl was an absolutely amazing part of our wedding day. We had some rain which meant our strings were unable to preform a prelude and postlude, but Karl was ready to go with some music so our guests still had something to listen to. The reception was fun and upbeat, and he made sure to play all the songs that were special to us. We booked him because he was also the DJ for my sisters wedding, and now our family wants to book him for every wedding in the future! I cannot recommend him enough!
