Amazing DJ!

We had the best experience with DJ Parker Marshall at our wedding. I had a small wedding (around 50) and was not sure a DJ was necessary, boy was I wrong! Having Parker there not only made for a party atmosphere but he was my right hand whenever I needed anything announced. He did a beautiful job with our ceremony music and emceeing. Our timeline shifted a bit throughout the day and Parker had to handle lots of curveballs but he handled everything with grace. We got so many compliments on his DJing, all my friends said he was the best wedding DJ they had ever seen - he did not just show up and play the normal songs, everyone could tell he takes great pride in his art and he kept the energy up. He was also such a team player! He listened to feedback and adapted perfectly. We did not mention that half our crowd loved Bollywood music beforehand, but once Parker knew, he changed up his playlist and had the whole crowd loving it. I would absolutely hire him again!

New years eve wedding

We could not have asked for a better DJ than DJ Parker for our New Year’s Eve wedding. From the start, he was incredibly fun, professional, and easy to work with. He kept the music flowing seamlessly all night and had an amazing ability to read the crowd the dance floor was never empty! He created the perfect energy to ring in the new year, and it truly made our celebration feel unforgettable.

Even now, people are still telling us how incredible the music was and how much fun they had. He brought such great vibes to the night and helped make one of the biggest moments of our lives feel effortless and joyful. We would recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who knows how to keep the party going and make their wedding unforgettable.

DJ Parker is the BEST

DJ Parker truly made our day perfect. He traveled to Northern Ontario to DJ our NYE wedding and made the day and party 10/10. His ability to read a room and take a dance floor from 0-100 is worth more than words can say. We know he was the special ingredient in making our day super memorable for us and all our guests, and we couldn’t thank him more.

Petoskey wedding 9/14/2024

Eli Godsey was the DJ for our son's backyard Petoskey wedding on 9/14/2024. He was professional, friendly and dressed to suit the occasion! Music during the dinner, as well as the dancing late into the evening, was all superb. And the Ring Light "photo booth" was a HUGE hit with all of our guests and a great way to share photo memories and GIF's from the event. Highly recommend Eli and DJ Parker Marshall! They helped make it the most perfect day that we could have hoped for!

Amazing value and shocking good professionalism

DJ Parker Marshall, was certainly one of the highlights of Lydia and I’s special day. From the moment he began the evening with quiet and soft jazz music for the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres hour, he was able to match the energy of the night with ease. He even played some authentic Hispanic music to make sure my family heard something familiar and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend DJ Parker with so much faith for your special day. He even danced to some ABBA towards the end of the night and tastefully added a nice touch of performance “with the show”. Lydia and I couldn’t haven’t been happier with where he took us that night and are pleased to write this review open heartedly. Book him! Don’t think about it anymore, planning a wedding is tough, so move forward and make your event a success with Parker.

DJ Parker Marshall is amazing!

Parker DJ’d our Northern Michigan wedding and the entire experience working with him was great!

Not only is Parker is professional and great with communication, most importantly he knows how to read a room and create the perfect atmosphere!

Parker took our music preferences into consideration and created a wedding set list that was perfect for us and our guests. He also had no problem coming to our unconventional wedding venue and made a backyard feel like a dance floor!

Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Parker and his talents and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!!

An Absolutely Elite Performance

Parker was the epitome of professionalism, paired with a vibrant energy that brought an unparalleled level of fun and joy to our wedding celebration. His ability to read the room and adapt the music to the vibe was impeccable. We were especially impressed by how seamlessly he transitioned between songs and genres, ensuring there was never a dull moment. And his interactions with the guests, peppered with humor and warmth, made everyone feel included and important. But what truly sets Parker apart is his genuine passion for what he does. It's evident in the effort he put into understanding our preferences and in the enthusiasm he brought to the dance floor. Our wedding was an unforgettable occasion, and we owe a huge part of that to Parker. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond to make their day special.

Best dj ever!

Last October we got married at our family farm in Pellston. Being new to the are we had no idea who to choose for anything. Literally EVERYONE we asked recommended Parker and let me tell you he did not disappoint. From the communication, to his planning, to the day of, and to his interaction, everything was PERFECT! He was very professional and his music choice after only asking a few questions was amazing. Pretty sure he dressed better than I did😂 He got on the dance floor and danced with our guests, there was never a moment of silence, and you could tell he definitely knew what he was doing. Super friendly and personable. I look forward to attending every event of his that I can make it to. I would highly recommend him.
