Our dream of a packed dancefloor all night long? Spark Entertainment made it happen.

Booking Spark Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would make it again without a second thought. From the very first planning conversation to the final song of the night, the entire team delivered in every possible way.

DJ D Jones was an invaluable partner during the planning process. He helped us work through timeline details and gave us thoughtful, honest feedback on our song selections — not just validating our choices, but actually helping us build a playlist tailored to our specific guests. He understood what we were going for and helped us get there strategically.

On the day itself, DJ Johnny was everything we could have asked for in an MC. He was polished, professional, and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all evening. When last-minute changes came up — as they always do at weddings — he handled them without missing a beat. No stress, no disruption, just seamless execution.

Most importantly, DJ Johnny read the dancefloor with remarkable instinct. He knew exactly when to shift the energy, when to lean in, and how to keep people moving. Our dancefloor was packed from the first song to the last — and in the days after the wedding, nearly every guest we talked to mentioned how much fun they had and what an incredible time they had dancing the night away.

If you want a team that brings both professionalism and genuine passion to your wedding, Spark Entertainment is the answer. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Outstanding DJ - Seamless from Start to Finish

We had a fantastic experience with Spark Entertainment and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, they were professional, organized, and easy to work with. The music was spot-on throughout the entire event, the flow of the evening was smooth, and everything ran exactly as planned.
They did a great job reading the room and keeping the energy up on the dance floor while also handling announcements and transitions seamlessly. We received multiple compliments from guests on the music and overall vibe of the reception.
Highly recommend Spark Entertainment to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality wedding DJ who truly delivers. Everything went perfectly!

Amazing, talented, attentive DJ and musicians!

DJ D. Jones and Spark Entertainment Group were INCREDIBLE in so many ways. The DJ/emcee plays a HUGE role on wedding day and we feel so lucky that they were so wonderful. We are a month out and still getting compliments from our guests about how good the DJ was.
We heard about DJ D. Jones and Spark Entertainment Group from our planners, who had worked with them many times before. When we reached out to a few groups, Spark Entertainment Group stood out immediately -- the slides were thoughtfully made and transparent, and it was clear they would work to make your event the best. I could go on and on, but here are the best parts of the experience:
1) DJ D. Jones is an AMAZING DJ. He met with us several times to understand exactly what we wanted, and he executed it perfectly. I would consider him more of an artist/musician, because he was actively remixing each song and transitioned each song into the next song so seamlessly. He is very attentive to how the crowd reacts to each song. The whole night, he played the perfect song at the perfect time [per our list], and he plays the best part of each song too. We got so many compliments about how he was actively remixing each song as he played them too. He clearly does a lot of preparation to understand your recommended songs so he can create the perfect dance floor experience.
2) We also added the electric violin for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the saxaphone for the dance floor. They were so talented, skilled, and professional. I'd highly recommend any of the musicians.
3) We also rented the photobooth and it was amazing! Everything ran smoothly, they finalized the template with us in advance, and the photos are really high quality. Our guests loved it.
4) Administratively, they are VERY responsive and extremely receptive to any requests or feedback you have. DJ D. Jones also did a great job of asking about the space in order to make sure he brings all the necessary equipment. We really appreciated the lapel mic and hand held mic that our officiant used.

We have endless gratitude for DJ D. Jones/Spark Entertainment group because they truly played a huge role in making our wedding amazing.

Good Vibes with Duerell

From the very first call, DJ Duerell was great to work with. We appreciated that we met with Duerell initially and he was the DJ for our wedding. Communication during the entire planning process was clear, he was flexible with scheduling calls during our chaotic work week, and the planning meetings were efficient. Most importantly, Duerell did a fantastic job getting the vibe right for our reception. We wanted to do club remixes of classics, pop, and mix in a little EDM. He did a wonderful job - Took our song recommendations seriously, read the vibes of the party, remixed song after song, and our guests loved it!

Best experience!

We had the BEST experience with Spark Entertainment Group for our wedding! From the very beginning, working with DJ D Jones was such a breeze—he made the planning process smooth and easy, always replying quickly and staying on top of everything. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing we were in such good hands.
And DJ Sik Wit It… wow! He absolutely crushed it. He completely nailed the vibe we wanted and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had! On top of that, he managed last-minute changes during speeches so professionally that we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
We can’t say enough good things about Spark Entertainment Group and DJ Sik Wit It. They truly made our night unforgettable, and we’d recommend them a thousand times over!

Katie & Brendyn Wedding - Walden 6.27.25

If you are looking for a wedding DJ, look no further!!! We booked DJ D Jones for our wedding at Walden and he was nothing shy of AMAZING. We are so beyond grateful that we decided to book DJ D Jones, he is truly worth ALL the hype. Go DJ that's our DJ!!! We were so impressed with how he has such an art to get the crowd/guests pumped up for the night and kept the dance floor so LIT. I had so many guests tell me after the wedding day that our DJ was amazing and he made the dance floor so fun. Wouldn't have a been a party without you, DJ D Jones!

From the moment that we "met" with Spark entertainment on zoom, we knew that they would take great care of us and help to make our wedding day dream come to life. They made us feel so comfortable and heard and really wanted to make it such a fun and exciting process and quickly made us feel like we were in great hands. DJ D Jones was so intentional with the details and made sure to not miss a beat. From planning out the itinerary, confirming phonetic spellings of names, triple checking our song requests, and giving great recommendations, HE WAS OUR MAN. He helped to keep us on track as well with planning by having a few one on one zoom meetings with him leading up to the big day.

We are forever grateful we chose Spark Entertainment and DJ D Jones to be such a special part of our wedding day!! 100000/10 recommend!!!

DJ D. Jones & Perry at Mistwood Golf Club

Our wedding was an absolute hit because of DJ D. Jones & Perry (on the drums)! What a cool way to hit the dance floor that was never left unattended the whole night! Best vibes at all times!

Best decision, best entertainment group

We had an incredible experience with Spark Entertainment Group for our wedding. Everyone was dancing the whole night thanks to DJ Pharaoh, and the entire process of wedding planning with the team was the most professional, smooth, and seamless experience we had throughout the wedding process.

From the very start of our wedding planning, Duerell gave wonderful advice about all things related to the guest experience, and was extremely responsive for all of our questions big and small. They run like a well-oiled machine - tracking meeting notes, systems in place for making sure every detail for the wedding day is very well-covered by the time the day gets close. 11/10 experience and 11/10 music. Couldn't recommend enough.
