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.

I've had the pleasure working with DJ Sik Wit It for a June wedding and it was amazing!! He had the dance floor going all night and every guests was fully engaged.
From the beginning of working with Spark Entertainment it was so smooth. We had vendor phone calls and multiple emails to make sure we as vendors were going to provide a great night for our couple! I would highly recommend Spark Entertainment for any event! Hope to work with you soon!

Amazing experience from end to end

With both of us having specific tastes in music, music was one of our top priorities for our wedding. We did not want the standard wedding music fare, and we also wanted a DJ who could mix live. We got both and more with Spark. Working with Duerell and his team was an awesome experience, and we were so impressed by their professionalism, attentiveness, and creativity. DJ Pharoah crushed it, incorporating all of our favorite genres to his own flair, and he kept the dance floor occupied all night long. Can't recommend Spark enough!

Spark Entertainment Group was phenomenal!!

They were the DJ for our April 2025 wedding and went above and beyond to make our day exceptional. They were recommended by our wedding coordinator, and from our very first meeting, we knew we were in amazing hands.

We started by meeting with a member of the team who walked us through all of their offerings in detail. We ended up selecting their all-inclusive package with DJ services, uplighting, and a photo booth — and it was 100% the right call. After booking, the owner, Duerell Jones, and the entire Spark team were incredible. They checked in regularly, sent planning tools through their online portal, and even emailed just to share their excitement for our big day — which made us feel so cared for, especially since we booked them far in advance.

We had a 60-day meeting with Duerell and a 30-day meeting with our DJ, Sik Wit It, and both were fantastic — so organized, thoughtful, and full of great suggestions to help the day flow and keep the crowd energized.

On the wedding day they were outstanding! Everything was seamless. DJ Sik Wit It was incredible— our dance floor was packed all night. My mom said she’d never seen so many people dancing at a wedding before! He nailed the vibe, perfectly blending my love of Pop with my partner’s favorite 80s and 90s hits. He hyped the crowd at just the right moments — from our T-shirt toss to the debut of a song my partner created — and truly made the night unforgettable.

Spark Entertainment Group is outstanding. They’re talented, professional, and truly care about the couples they work with. We can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again for any future events. We’re so grateful they were part of our day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
