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!

We originally heard about Karl through a family member and didn't want to look at any other DJ options after. The package he offers is very affordable. He was extremely flexible working up to the wedding date, and will do anything you ask, within reason. Several attendees are our wedding picked up his business card for future events. I hope they pick him so that we get to enjoy the jazz trio and DJ music again!

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!

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.

Karl was amazing at our wedding! He sang during cocktail hour (and people went crazy over it)! Once dinner was over and the party started, he was able to keep everyone on the dance floor! Cannot recommend him enough!

If in doubt... HIRE HIM

Karl is phenomenal. His reviews don't let you down. We ended up hiring him with the keys package, but we loved how flexible his packages are. If you change your mind, he will accommodate! There was nothing like the feeling of walking into our wedding reception with Karl singing Christmas music and everybody happy and socializing. It was exactly the atmosphere we imagined for the wedding. He really captivated our guests with his singing, they loved it all. Besides cocktail hour, my favorite part was his singing to get the audience excited building up for the wedding party to walk in. He makes everything entertaining and always keeps your guests laughing and engaged with what's happening! We even took his advice on when to incorporate the speeches based on when guests are paying the most attention. For the dancing portion of the night he was very thoughtful and will have you fill our a questionnaire to figure out your likes, dislikes and you'll talk with him directly for any special requests or things you don't want! He truly cares about his clients and it shows. We loved every minute of Karl singing and DJing our wedding, we would love to hire him again sometime!

Karl went above and beyond on our wedding day and the planning leading up to it. He was always very quick to respond to the endless questions I had for him. Karl was always one step ahead of us on our wedding day to ensure everything ran smoothly. We received many compliments throughout the night and after the wedding of how fun and unique his singing/jazz band was during cocktail hour. I cannot recommend Karl enough for your big day or event!
