Great DJ, Great Price

Marshall Yancey did a wonderful job at our wedding. We looked at several different vendors before booking him and we are so glad we went with him. He drove from Louisville to Lexington to meet with us, gave an extensive list of music options and was more affordable than several other options and he did a perfect job! Our wedding was a blast with lots of dancing and he kept the guests moving until the very last second of the night. I would highly recommend his services!

We were suggested to use Marshall Yancey after a friend of ours used him in their wedding. I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Yancey!

#1: EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL: My husband's number one priority for a DJ was they needed to be classy, not trashy. We have all been to weddings where the DJ single-handedly kills the vibe. Yancey has been providing Disc Jockey services since 1978, he knows every mistake to avoid!
- Upon consultation, Yancey provides his clients with a very descriptive survey which allowed us to choose his attire (casual, suit and tie, tuxedo, etc.), his personality (quiet (just play music), normal (make necessary announcements), moderate (some audience interaction), outgoing (tastefully involved)), and the overall environment we were going for.
-SIDE NOTE: Due to his professionalism, Yancey refuses to play explicit music that poorly represents his company (he does provided edited options). Kudos to him! This was obviously not a problem for us, but if it is a problem for you, you may want to seek other services.

#2: Options/Packages- Yancey has a variety of options, but everything is adjustable based upon what YOU want. It's YOUR day and he makes sure he is compliant with that. However, he still offers his professional opinion on overall schedule for the day! This is extremely helpful since for most of us, this is our only wedding as bride/groom and he's been doing this for years. These options also included very specific lists of songs TO NEVER PLAY (for example, we DID NOT want the Chicken Dance), songs that were "must play", and songs that we would like to be played if time allows.

#3: Affordability- To be fair, we paid more to Yancey than I originally wanted, but it was important to my husband (and worth every penny). We paid $1,195 for Yancey's services which included the ceremony and reception. Well worth it! Every guest, old and young, enjoyed the music and atmosphere that Marshall Yancey created.

Simply the best! Marshall is professional, kind, and takes the time to get to know the couple so he can play music that you love and is appropriate for your audience. Not to mention, his "Morgan Freeman" ish deep voice makes it sound like God is speaking on the speakers - very cool! Would do business again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
