Above and beyond

I would just like to say, my family and I cannot recommend Onyx Entertainment enough. I work with Derek in Nashville but live in LA and when I told them we were looking for help with my Mom's wedding, him and his wife Taylor took over & made arrangements to FLY TO LA just to take care of my Mom's wedding.
Derek provided a Photobooth, a 360 moving Video/Photo stand, he ran sound for my band at the reception at an outdoor venue which if you do music, you know how hard that can be and he CRUSHED it. Zero feedback, clear monitors, it was a dream having him run sound. He also was the most energetic and tuned in DJ I've seen in a long time. He worked tirelessly with my Mom and her new husband on the set list and made sure to incorporate all of their favorite songs that ranged through every genre you can think of. Derek had people dancing until the wedding ended at 1 AM. Not only did he handle everything just mentioned, he also put us in touch with an incredible videographer, Jonathan Bowman (J Bowman Creative), and took all of the stress of finding someone off of our shoulders.

And then there is Taylor. Where to start with this peach of a human. Taylor shot my Mom's pre-wedding with both sides of the bridal party, the ceremony, post-ceremony by the beach and the reception. Not only are her photographs absolutely stunning and unique, she is quite efficient in the way she works. She came extremely prepared with a timeline and detailed shot list and handled our rowdy crew with grace, kindness, swiftness and patience. It's so important to have a photographer who knows what they are doing, knows what lighting is going to look best and knows what shots to get all while keeping everyone in a strict timeline - especially for a wedding when chaos is bound to arise. Taylor was also very patient with our edits and touch ups and made sure my Mom was nothing short of thrilled with the end product.

All in all, Taylor and Derek are some of the most talented yet genuine and kind people we have ever worked with let alone met. My Mom is extremely particular and to have her be so out of her mind happy and excited with the way everything went down at the wedding and the way the photos came out is such a huge win. All we can say is thank you, Onyx!!!!! You made our family's special day so easy and beautiful. Thank you for everything!!!

Derek Hughes
Owner/DJ

Hey I'm Derek! I have had the privilege of being a wedding DJ and Photobooth operator for about 6 years now. I began this job in Austin, TX with one of the TOP Wedding service companies in the U.S. (Complete Weddings) and my mentor was voted #2 DJ in Austin! As a Nashville singer/musician, I love bringing fun and creativity to the dance floor. The wedding experience is something that is to be cherished and remembered forever. The idea of making even the slightest positive difference in the way the special night is remembered is what drives me to take my job very seriously and have lots of enthusiasm. Whether it be creating a unique playlist to your taste, getting your people on the dance floor, or just checking in with the wedding coordinator, I will always make sure the couple is taken care of throughout the night. My highest priority is to create a great environment and memories that will last a lifetime!

Taylor moved from Wisconsin to Nashville to pursue her love for hair and photography. She is a mom to a dog named Benjamin, and a cat named Kiki. Her day starts with ice cream for breakfast, and ends with breakfast for dinner. She is the ultimate hype girl. Time spent with Tay is fun, comfortable, and encouraging. She loves capturing genuine moments. The real authentic you. Messy hair. Laughter. Closeness. Tickle fights. Pure Joy. Zoolander. Memories that are raw and beautiful that you will look back on for years to come.
