Highly satisfied with Onyx entertainment for DJ services for our wedding! DJ Cole was wonderful.

Cant Recommend ONYX Enough

Onyx was AMAZING at our wedding! Not only did the help supply hair and make up for myself and my girls, they were also our DJ, photo booth, and supplied games for our guests. All vendors they helped connect us with were above expectations. Our DJ was so loved (Cole) and his assistant. The dance floor was absolutely ELECTRIC and our guests still talk about it today. Both vendors we worked with for hair and make up were so great and organized. All the girls looked amazing and loved the way they looked on our wedding day. Onyx was easy to communicate and even with having 4+ vendors with them, it was as easy as could be! Cant recommend them enough.

So fun and easy to work with!!!

Working with Onyx was an awesome experience from start to finish! Derek and his team are professional, communicative, and thorough. It was such an easy and simple process! Our DJ was Cole and he did an incredible job just getting to know us as a couple beforehand, managing timeline pivots, organizing all the little details, reading the room/vibe, and making it a memorable and fun experience!! We are so so thankful for Onyx and would recommend them to anyone in the area!!

Great Entertainment

ONYX provided great service. I really appreciated the additional microphone's which allowed the host (myself) to speak to the crowd when necessary. I booked 4 hours, next time I will book for the entire event.
