I have spun just about everything; from Pop, Country, Latin, EDM, R&B, etc. I will accommodate your music preferences with relative ease. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), as well.

I utilize top-of-the-line equipment, and purchase all my music from the most reputable domains to ensure optimal sound for my esteemed clients. If needed, I can also assist you with music selections, and construct a timeline for your wedding from the beginning, to end. Attention to detail is foremost, and I will make employ all efforts to personally facilitate a day that will be distinctly, fondly, and everlastingly remembered.

DJ Melvin with Next Level Entertainment, LLC

What an amazing wedding we had at Wishing Well Barn with DJ Melvin at the helm! He was fabulous, from helping us to plan everything out to getting everyone on the dance floor the night of the wedding. He played just the right amount and types of music and the dance floor was packed all evening! At the end of the evening it was raining and we couldn’t do the sparkler exit- there DJ Melvin was, to the rescue with his bubble machine. Much appreciated, highly recommend for any event!

DJ Melvin is a must for any event!!

DJ Melvin was not only knowledgeable in his craft, but familiar with our wedding venue and gave us great pointers. As a matter of fact, when our timeline was completely ruined, he handled everything so smoothly that no one could have ever guessed that he was creating our timeline as he went! Also, despite him feeling as though he wouldn't be able to meet all our Mexican Wedding needs, he really went above and beyond and did his homework! Hiring him was like hiring multiple vendors all in one, that's just how awesome he was! My husband and I were blessed to have been recommended his way. Next Level Entertainment definitely is a master of their craft!

He’s the BEST!!!

I met Melvin through my then boyfriend (who is now my Husband). When planning our reception he was the first DJ we thought of. Even on short notice he made it happen and it was an awesome reception!!!

July Peacock Wedding

Next Level Entertainment LLC is the best Dj service anyone can ask for! Melvin was amazing at our wedding and kept the party going. Our wedding was in July and boy was it hot!!! However Melvin knew how to keep the crowd going on the dance floor. He also kept our bridal party organized after the ceremony to know when and how we needed to enter the reception. Before the wedding he was always available when i needed and helped me with my music block. We could not have had a better dj service! Thanks Melvin!!

Narrator of our love story!

We were so blessed to have Melvin as our wedding DJ back in 2015. I’d honestly like to think that we were his first “official wedding clients” and had the privelage of experiencing his amazing services before he became famous, so to speak!
Melvin wasn’t just any run of the mill, wedding DJ! Far from it! In a nutshell he narrated the most poignant love story any couple could ask for, using his musical expertise and incredible ability to connect with his customer on a personal level.
There really aren’t enough words to describe what a remarkable talent Melvin is. He eliminates one of the most stressful components of the actual wedding day by ensuring that the entire event gels together and flawlessly flows, from start to finish, making it as perfect as can be.
Thank you so much for making our day a PERFECT one, Melvin! Can recommend without hesitation! 5 stars!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
