Mark is incredible! 5-stars.

Mark is incredible! He was recommended by our wedding venue and had DJed our friend's wedding a few years back.

As part of the process, Mark shares an online planner that makes it simple to request specific "must-play" songs as well as any songs that you do not want played during the event.

During our live call, Mark made several suggestions about various aspects of the wedding that we hadn't even thought of, for instance, the song we wanted our wedding party to walk down the aisle to, the song that would play after our ceremony finished, the cocktail hour music vs. dinner music, and more. He also provided recommendations & suggestions to help perfect our timeline.

Mark was energetic, communicative & responsive, and he was flexible to a few last-minute changes the day of the wedding. He was truly able to read the room/crowd. We felt very comfortable with him throughout the process, especially the day-of. All of our friends & family raved about Mark's emceeing as well as the music that he played.

Finally, his pricing was also very reasonable and included uplighting! We would highly recommend Mark for your next event!

Perfect DJ for a perfect wedding

Mark was spectacular. Very smooth, very easy to deal with. The dance floor was hopping and he was just so friendly without coming off like a gameshow host. Very authentically a nice guy. I got tons of compliments on his work. Hightly recommended.

Best Day, Best DJ/Emcee!

Mark was a phenomenal DJ and emcee for our wedding! During the planning process he was organized, responsive and helped us think through all the details. Fast forward to wedding day and things could not have gone better! He was energetic, added complementary songs to our playlists, and read the vibe of our group to keep folks dancing! If you want a truly genuine, passionate and talented DJ, look no further!

Hire DJ Mark!!!

Mark is even better than 5 stars! We hired Mark to DJ and MC our wedding and he exceeded all expectations. Leading up to the wedding, Mark was always available to answer our questions and help with the overall flow of the reception. Throughout the reception and the day after, we constantly had family and friends come up to us to tell us how good the DJ was and how impressed they were that he curated a vibe for all ages and not just the younger guests. In addition to providing musical entertainment for the evening, Mark acted as a planner for the reception, making sure we didn't miss any components and allotted ample time to all our key moments. Mark truly went above and beyond when 2 weeks before the wedding we asked if he could provide us with a speaker and microphone for our Welcome Dinner without any issues. I would STRONGLY recommend Mark for any event and hope I get to attend a wedding he djs in the future!

Simply The Best

Mark did a truly amazing job MC'ing & DJ'ing our wedding. From our first meeting, Mark understood what we were looking for and exceeded expectations. He helped us refine the vibe that we wanted in our entire wedding, from guest arrival, dinner music, to the dance floor. We had our brother in law (who does not usually do weddings) play keyboard during our ceremony and first dance and Mark seamlessly connect the piano to his system and ensured we had the correct connections for the model we had provided. Mark is the ultimate professional, his charisma and commitment to ensuring not only us but our guests had an amazing evening. Highly recommend Mark for any event, can't wait to work with him again!

Thanks Mark for the best wedding ever!!

Mark was the best DJ/MC we could have possibly wanted for our wedding! We had big dreams for our wedding reception, and Mark pulled through in a huge way. My husband and I put together a super elaborate trivia game with sound, music, and lighting cues – and Mark absolutely went above and beyond to make it a smashing success. On top of that, Mark was great at reading the energy of the room and getting everybody on the dance floor. He was super thorough and great to work with – he never missed a single detail. Thanks Mark for the best wedding ever!!!

Honest, professional, dedicated, and passionate DJ

Need a DJ? Book Mark Addington!! We met Mark through close friends who booked him for their wedding. We reached out and were immediately impressed with his energy, knowledge, professionalism, and attentiveness. We were blessed to see Mark in action at our friends' wedding several months later. Mark was brilliant from start to finish!!

Mark was helpful and amazing throughout our process. On our big day, Mark brought his "A" game. He checked in with the officiant and wedding party before the ceremony and assisted our coordinator throughout the night. We trusted Mark with the dance music, and Mark did not disappoint. Mark made our "photo dash" experience memorable and kept people on our dance floor the entire night. Mark, thank you again; you are indeed a master of your craft.

Mark was amazing!

Truly could not have asked for a better DJ. He was communicative, receptive to all of our ideas and songs, super professional and organized as an MC, and just so FUN! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. 10/10.

Best DJ EVER!! Highly Recommend!

Mark is so easy to work with. He is organized and has a portal where you can input all your party information, songs, and vendors. He is professional and makes all your instagram/pintrest inspo come true. We just told him what vibes we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and he delivered! He was keeping the party alive throughout the night with the inpromptu song requests from friends while maintaining the atmosphere of the wedding we wanted. He was just as excited as we were for our big day as both of us are huge disney fans. I felt like he understood us as a couple and gave us really great suggestions. He was great at MCing as well and made the night flow seamlessly. My wedding party has names that are difficult to pronounce and he perfected each one of them. Mark is awesome, professional and provided amazing services throughout the whole day. All my guests said they had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for someone to make their wedding planning and day less stressful.
