If there was ever someone batting a thousand in life it is Mark Addington. For those of you unfamiliar with the baseball phrase, it means he gets hits every time he is up to the metaphorical plate, and this guy is for sure hitting home runs! Sports terminology aside my wife and I adore this man. We had the pleasure of meeting him at a few of the numerous weddings we have been to and immediately locked him in the moment I proposed to my then-girlfriend. From start to finish, Mark is organized, personable, and professional while keeping the vibe comfortable. His ability to read the room is unparalleled with other DJs I have experienced over the years. Hiring Mark isn't just hiring another DJ or MC. It's like hiring another personal wedding coordinator for your big day. Words cannot express how grateful I am for finding Mark and making our big day even more special. This man deserves every positive accolade that can be placed on an individual. If you're looking for a DJ with infectious positivity it is this man. With no hesitation, we have already suggested Mark to other friends at their weddings and upcoming events. Thank you, Mark, Lana and I hope to see you soon! -

Mark was amazing!
For starters, he was super helpful with everything from start to finish! Gave a lot of ideas and tips for the night but was very reseptive of what we wanted and how we wanted it accomplished. During the event was just as great as he had everyone ready for us and kept the dance floor going all night. Mark couldn't have been any more of a gentleman to everyone at our wedding and did everything in his power to make it as great as possible. And it was! -

Absolutely thrilled with Mark! A solid 5-star performance – friendly, organized, and incredibly communicative. Made our special day even more memorable with the perfect soundtrack. He came up with so many great song suggestions when I didn’t have time to research my own songs. Highly recommend! -

We booked Mark for our wedding and he was FANTASTIC! From the moment we had our first introduction call to the day of, his energy was high, his dedication was unwavering and his attention to detail was impeccable.
I also want to highlight how great his communication was. When planning a wedding, it's really stressful when you work with vendors who don't respond right away and Mark never dropped the ball. He commented on how flexible he was as far as being involved as little or as much as we wanted when it came to the music and being MC for our event. And this is something I really appreciated as I was overseeing so many details that I was feeling overwhelmed at having to choose all the music and manage the pacing of the wedding but he really jumped in enthusiastically, ready to tackle whatever we needed. During our 2nd call in particular, he was so well organized and asked many questions that my husband and I hadn't even thought of so that really helped build our trust that he would handle everything day of without any issue.
A lot of my guests were impressed that the MC at our wedding was also the DJ because of how well he multi-tasked. Music was very important to me, particularly the dance playlist and in our first call, Mark had said that his goal at the end of the night, was to have our guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that they didn't want the party to end. Well, I can confidently say that he nailed it! Cannot say enough about how happy we were with Mark and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing DJ/MC! -

Kali P. Sent on 09/13/2023AMAZING DJ! Got our vision and executed perfectly
Mark was amazing to work with and made our Aug. 19 wedding so incredibly special. From our initial conversation I knew he would be a good fit . We were a bit insane and gave him a playlist of about 6 hours of music, ranging from oldies to Reggaeton, to dance music, to classic rock to work with. Mark understood our vision perfectly and somehow made it all fit seamlessly together. Our goal was to spend as much time on the dance floor as possible, and I was excited to see people that normally don’t dance out there.
Each time we spoke with Mark leading up to the wedding, we felt so secure in our choice. There’s sooo much more to what a DJ does than just play your music. They set the vibe and quite literally move the event along. Considering how much goes into pulling off a wedding, our vendors made it unbelievably easy for us to sit back and enjoy our night — Mark was a major part of that, and we can’t recommend him enough. -

Shauna B. Sent on 03/23/2023Amazing corporate event - we danced all night!
We hired Mark for a company event of about 500 people at The Tech Interactive in March 2023. He was a great communicator before our event and was ready to go when we arrived. He brought the great tunes!! I gave little to no direction on the song list and he really picked the best songs!! I'll absolutely recommend Mark to teammates that are planning events and will hire him again for future events. -

Mark is absolutely amazing!!! He rocked the house for us at our wedding this past Sunday. He made sure to include our requested songs and his transitions were flawless. He's patient and kind and caring and you can definitely tell that he loves what he does and boy does he do it well. We even have people asking for a playlist. He's a kick ass MC as well. His voice is smooth and he knows how to get everyone's attention. He reads the crowd and there was NEVER a dull moment. Look no further, your DJ is right here. -

A great MC/DJ is VITAL for any wedding reception. They set the tone of the entire event; they make sure all timelines are meant in a reasonable time; and they keep the party going for as long as our guests have the energy to dance the night away. So when it was time to find our perfect DJ/MC for our long-awaited wedding, I scoured countless of websites, reviews, and recommendations until I landed on Mark Addington.
From our very first phone call, I knew Mark would be perfect. It was the kind of conversation where personalities instantly meshed, where I smiled and laughed thanks to his friendly demeanor, and where I KNEW I found my DJ/MC. I hired Mark very early on, almost 10 months before our wedding, but as we got closer to the wedding date, I appreciated how Mark kept in touch and followed up with me often.
On the big day, everything went PERFECTLY. Mark's upbeat tone kept the atmosphere light and happy. His music choices, which I decided to leave to him based on our preferences, were spot-on throughout the night. And he made sure all important events started at the exact time. Mark also provided gorgeous up-lighting for our reception which looked amazing in our pictures. Then at the very end the night, he even played a special song for my husband and I to have one last private dance before packing up for the night.
I can't say enough positive things about Mark. He was not only a delightful person to work with, but also an amazing guest at our wedding. If you have any doubts at all, don't! Mark will take care of you, I promise! -

Ciaron I. Sent on 10/13/2023A true wedding professional!
From the moment we first spoke with him, it was clear that we had stumbled upon someone truly special. Mark is absolutely incredible, and he played an integral role in making our wedding day one in a million.
Throughout the entire planning process, working with Mark was an absolute delight. His seamless and effortless approach to coordinating the music for our big day was nothing short of amazing. His online portal, complete with a user-friendly template for selecting songs for different moments during the wedding, made the entire process so simple and stress-free. We were able to curate our ideal playlist with ease, and Mark was always there to offer guidance and suggestions when needed.
One of the most memorable moments that truly highlighted Mark's professionalism and dedication was the morning of our wedding. A massive storm had swept through the Bay Area, causing a power outage across the entire regional park where our wedding was set to take place. Mark didn't hesitate for a moment. Without us even reaching out, he was already working closely with our other vendors to ensure everything would run smoothly. His proactive approach and quick communication put our minds at ease and allowed us to focus on other aspects of the wedding.
Mark brought his unique blend of professionalism and a fun-loving spirit that was a breath of fresh air. He exuded a positive and infectious energy that added to the magical atmosphere of the day. Mark's ability to read the room and gauge the mood of our guests was masterful. Once dinner was over and the party got started, he had everyone up and dancing well into the night. The energy on the dance floor was electric, and Mark played a pivotal role in creating an unforgettable celebration.
In summary, Mark is not just a wedding DJ; he's a true wedding professional who goes above and beyond to make your day extraordinary. His impeccable planning, adaptability, and undeniable talent for keeping the party going are qualities that set him apart. If you're looking for someone to make your wedding day special and stress-free, look no further than Mark. We are forever grateful for his contribution to our wedding day and can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Mark, for helping us create lasting memories that we will cherish forever. -

Mark was fantastic! The day we spoke to him, we knew we had to hire him. He listened to us every step of the way during the planning.

Kevin O. Sent on 11/13/2022Amazing! Thanks Mark!
Can't say enough about how great Mark was for us! My now wife and I hired Mark as our DJ with warnings that we were somewhat eclectic people in our music tastes. Lots of musicals. Lots of Disney. You get it. Mark listened and gave suggestions on our playlists that we gave him. He was responsive and courteous and made some great suggesions.
On the day of, Mark was there early, got everything set up, made sure to comply with the noise regulations of our venue, and everything operated so smoothly I didn't have to worry about it at all. The only thing I even noticed was our procession was a bit slower than we planned and our track was going to run out while my wife was walking down the aisle. Luckily, Mark saw it too and pretty seamlessly looped the track so it kept going and gave us plenty of time.
Thanks, Mark! -

Trust us, HIRE MARK! Mark is the gold-standard for an all-around DJ, Master of ceremonies and sound extraordinaire! The minute we met him, his high-energy and can-do attitude made it clear that we needed him for our special day. What makes Mark so successful at what he does is his attention to detail. Mark proactively reached out to our live musicians beforehand to ensure they had everything they needed for clear, beautiful sound during our ceremony. He also helped mic and prepare our officiant so she could maintain focus on us. At the reception, Mark added special touches, such as facilitating the shoe-game (which our guests raved about!) and dropped in ad-hoc flair, such as a reference to the Godfather after a speech given by my Dad. Last and most importantly, Mark is a fantastic communicator. He checked in with us when needed during the evening to ensure our expectations were met and adjusted where needed. THANK YOU MARK! And to folks out there planning your wedding, Mark is your man!
