    Marty is a fantastic musician and DJ. This millennial was SO happy with his mixes and the dance floor was jam packed all night! He was such a pleasure to work with and I can’t wait to refer him business in the future!

    Marty is everything you need!

    As a wedding planner, my goal is to ensure that every detail of my clients' special day is nothing short of perfection. That's why when it comes to recommending a DJ, there's no one I trust more than Marty Nightengale.

    I've had the privilege of collaborating with Marty on numerous occasions, and his exceptional talent and dedication never cease to amaze me.

    What sets Marty apart is his ability to create a unique and unforgettable experience for each couple. He takes the time to understand their music preferences and wedding vision, resulting in a personalized soundtrack that captures their love story beautifully.

    Marty is not only a top-notch DJ but also a fantastic organizer. He keeps the celebration on track, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and on schedule. His crowd-reading skills and knack for keeping the dance floor packed are truly impressive.

    Beyond his remarkable talent, Marty is a pleasure to work with. His positive attitude, friendly demeanor, and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an outstanding vendor in the wedding industry.

    If you want a DJ who will surpass your expectations and create magical moments on your big day, Marty Nightengale is the one. He's more than a DJ; he's a trusted partner who goes the extra mile to make weddings extraordinary.

    5 Stars is not enough!!!!

    If you are looking for the best entertainment for your wedding please do not look any further. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marty. But we are going to list them anyway!

    First off, Marty was such a joy to work with and we do not say that lightly. Even before he even played a song at our wedding, the process of working with Marty was truly unmatched. He was the most accommodating and listened to our every request (of which there were many lol). He never even batted an eye to each request and just made it so much more creative. Every call we had with him, we would hang up and just feel filled with joy (We know that sounds corny but it is truly what my wife and I felt like). He truly went above and beyond to make our entertainment at our wedding come alive.

    At the wedding - he was UNREAL!!! I would consider myself fairly "picky" when it comes to entertainment and he blew my expectations out of the water. From his ability to get the crowd involved to his talent as a musician, we still cannot get over it. He brought an amazing set up with lights for him and also uplighting that is a must. He also brought an incredible saxophonist who was just as amazing. You both were our favorite part of our wedding!!

    Finally, I think the thing we appreciated most about Marty was that he was so genuine. The wedding business is filled with people who are looking out for themselves first and Marty could not be more opposite of that. He truly cared about us and could not have been more thoughtful. We will never forget it!

    We cannot say enough great things about Marty. He truly is gifted and is a NO brainer for not only a wedding but any event!

    Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Marty is a must hire! His communication is great, he helped us picked songs and if we wanted the song edited in any way, he sent us exactly what we wanted. We also asked him to play our ceremony and is a fantastic musician. He learned our processional and recessional requests and played them flawlessly. Marty was a hit with all our guests as well, no one wanted the party to stop. He will not disappoint!

    Marty brought it!

    Marty was the most fun of our vendors to work with. I had an incredible experience at my wedding thanks to this amazing DJ and saxophonist. The combination of Marty's seamless transitions and the soulful melody of the saxophonist created an electric atmosphere that kept everyone dancing. Marty's ability to read the room and play the perfect song at the right moment was impressive. I highly recommend Marty and the saxophonist add on for anyone looking for a unforgettable reception.

    Marty Nightengale is the Best!!

    We saw Marty playing at a brewery in Golden, CO and we knew we wanted him to perform at our wedding! He is an incredibly talented musician and performer and will keep your guested entertained and dancing all night! We truly enjoyed getting to know him during our wedding planning process. Communication was easy, and my husband even took guitar lessons with him and surprised our family and friends by performing a song at the reception. It was one of our best wedding decisions so look no further and hire him and the saxophonist for your wedding!

    Marty is the best!

    Marty is simply the best! We used him for our wedding this June in Vail, CO, and he was professional, knowledgeable, and flexible from the get-go. He immediately replied to our inquiries and was happy to answer any questions even before booking. He worked closely with us to curate the perfect reception, in everything from location and musical offerings to song selection and announcements. He went above and beyond in matching our taste to the music and production, curating a DJ playlist to all different types of musical interests and guest requests as well as our own personal song preferences. Marty also knows how to engage an audience, curating song selection and announcements to the audience. Throughout our reception, guests continually told us how much they enjoyed the DJ and the music. We couldn’t be happier with Marty - he offers incredible quality at a great value. Book him before someone else does!

    Great experience for non-profit event

    We hired Marty to play at a cocktail hour and provide music throughout a non-profit year-end event. He was an excellent addition, and I received many complements/requests for his information! Marty was easy to work with, communicative, and flexible. He added great flare to our event, and I would definitely use him again!

    Have worked with Marty Nightengale for 7 years!

    We have had the pleasure of working with Marty for the past 7 years for our Christmas services at our church! He played live music to fill our lobby spaces with holiday cheer. He was always willing to change his set list to compliment the theme and vibe! It was perfect every year! Fun, engaging, talented, and so easy to work and communicate with! I would highly recommend Marty Nightengale for your events and weddings. You won't regret it!

    Marty rocks!!!

    Prior to hiring Marty as our wedding entertainment, we had seen him perform several times around local Colorado venues and he always impressed! We also elected to use the duo lineup option with him and the saxophonist (highly recommended). What a great experience! Marty was so professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process. His music, entertainment, and emcee skills were beyond expectations and we had such a fun time!

    Dream team!

    Prior to the wedding I was in communication with Marty pretty frequently, he definitely understands what needs to be done at a wedding and goes above and beyond with attention to detail. Not only that but Marty and Drew were the dream team the day of the wedding! 10/10 fun, great energy, can read the crowd well, and allowed me to do some really bad karaoke. Thanks so much for making our night so memorable and fun. You were amazing. Hire these guys ASAP!

    Marty and the saxophonist made the night!!

    We had the pleasure of hiring Marty and his saxophonist for our wedding and we couldn't have been more happy with them! They brought all the vibes and energy to the night and really made it something special. Their flexibility with music, ability to read the crowd, and talent made them one of the best vendor choices that we made. On multiple occasions, both family and friends complimented how amazing they were. We can't thank them enough... thanks again!

    Wedding DJ and band at a recent wedding!

    My experience with Marty Nightengale was so amazing! I am a wedding planner, so I work alongside many DJ's and bands, His talent is far beyond anyone I've worked with! He is super energetic while also making the crowd feel welcomed and included. He gets people dancing and definitely reads the room to keep the good vibes going. As a DJ, he was organized and flexible with changes that needed to be made to the timeline unexpectedly. He was very prompt in responding, which is very rare! Many DJ's are not memorable, but Marty definitely was! I would 100% recommend him to all of my couples!!!

    Marty Made Our Wedding a Party

    Marty was an AMAZING dj and emcee for our wedding! Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. He made the entire process extremely easy, listened to us and provided excellent suggestions based on what he knew would work best, and had our dancefloor hopping at several points throughout the night. His 90's mashup was a major highlight of our whole night.
    I genuinely can't thank him enough, he made us feel so special and he did everything he could to make our wedding the party we wanted.

    Marty is spot on!

    I really wanted live music, but a band was just too expensive for our budget. I got so lucky finding Marty as his prices were reasonable, he was extremely pleasant to work with, and his vibe was exactly what I was looking for! My husband has a saxophone fetish, so we splurged and hired Marty's partner as well!

    Marty was so patient with me as I had a million questions. I was also in the middle of a house renovation weeks before the wedding, and Marty was able to accommodate to my last minute requests!

    My goal was to have fun and to keep the crowd going, and Marty did just that and more! I have specific taste in music, and Marty was able to deliver on every aspect. Our guests could not stop talking about Marty, and they are looking forward to booking with him for future events.

    I hope to be able to work with Marty again, and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Marty for your special day!!!

    Amazing! Incredible! Lively!

    Marty and his saxophonist made our wedding reception absolutely amazing! We had a very small wedding with less than 20 people so we were kind of worried about entertaining through the reception because many people didn't know each other and were of all different ages. Marty had everyone dancing almost the entire time. Every single one of the guests expressed to us for months afterwards how amazing he was and how much fun they had! Marty is extremely flexible, laid back yet very attentive to the importance of the event, responsive, easy to communicate with, was on time for everything before and during the event, etc. He was perfect! Do not think twice about hiring Marty, he was incredible! Also, if offered, think about the saxophonist add on, he did tremendous as well and it was a great addition to Marty!

    Marty's Music made our day!

    Marty's music was outstanding throughout our wedding day! The reason we choose Marty for our wedding is because he was so flexible and when we had a video call with him, we felt like he really cared about making the day special by trying to understand our needs and our vibe. We didn't have a ton of specific requests, but described the mood we wanted and he DELIVERED! He played lovely acoustic guitar music that was perfect for our outdoor ceremony setting. At night, he and his sax player did and fantastic job ramping up the energy after dinner! Our guests were extremely impressed by the liveliness brought by the 2 and are still raving about 'the band'! The music, lights, energy - everything was perfect!

    Outstanding

    We absolutely loved having Marty be apart of our wedding day! Our guests have continued to comment on how much fun our wedding was because we had Marty there! He will add a fun flare to any style of wedding! We would book him again and again; if we had to do it all over!

    Better than i could have ever imagined!

    I don't think this form will let me write all the praise that Marty deserves for our wedding! If you are at all on the fence, jump off right now and hire Marty IMMEDIATELY. Music was such a big deal to us for our wedding, and Marty made the planning and execution better than I could have EVER imagined or possibly hoped. He absolutely went above and beyond. Every. Single. One. of our guests said how amazing he was, and I still have friends and family talking about it, months later.

    Not only is he an EXCELLENT musician (his voice is AMAZING, guitar impeccable) but he has that "x" factor and knows how to throw a FANTASTIC party. He has the perfect mix of following the specifics of what we wanted (like the "do not play list" and keeping to our type/genre of music) but also, with his experience, we wanted him to use his judgement and to play to the crowd and MAN, did he deliver! Everyone was dancing and having fun ALL NIGHT.

    He also has the perfect amount of professionalism, flexibility, and guidance for those of us that need help putting all the random pieces together to make a wedding run smoothly. Prior to the actual day, he did a great job of following up, walking us through his questionnaire to help us figure things out, and was extra responsive and detailed. He really guided us with timing and flow, and had great suggestions for when we were stumped. I never felt worried about a thing, from first contact, up through the end of the reception.

    We had Marty run our ceremony and reception - basically everything that had anything to do with sound. Honestly, I don't know how he did it. He did the ceremony space - playing acoustic guitar, our specific recorded songs, and all the mics... the music, vows, officiant, toasts, etc. all sounded perfect. He also did all the reception; he MC'd, played guitar, learned and played our first dance song live, sang all sorts of other songs, DJ'd, and coordinated everything so well - again, I do NOT know how he made it all work so well with all those hats he wore.

    We hired his saxophone player too, and the two of them together was phenomenal. Hard to believe it was just the two of them, because they sounded more like a full band -- and added just another layer of cool to the night. We also brought in a musician from our hometown, and Marty was able to get us his rental piano, set him up, and worked so well with him that they actually all played together songs throughout the night that were BEYOND perfect.

    In conclusion -- if you have ANY doubts, please do yourself a favor and THROW THEM OUT THE WINDOW. Marty is professional, SUPER talented, very experienced, kind, and ridiculously fun. I promise, it'll be the best part of your night. (After the whole "getting married" part, of course :)

    Perfection - Professional, Talented, & So Much Fun

    Marty & Drew were fantastic! Easy 10/10 and I can't recommend them highly enough. They both were very professional throughout the whole process and helped make our wedding day perfect! Marty was very flexible with timing, communicated with us (and our wedding planner) very clearly and early on, and was an overall joy to work with. His energy throughout our wedding night was incredible, and his set list was a huge hit. We had a small wedding ~30 people, and Marty & Drew kept everyone engaged throughout the night. We gave him very general guidelines for what songs we liked from his song list and from that he crafted a high energy set list that flowed so well! So we were very impressed with his preparation and how well executed his overall performance was.

    One big tip - HIRE DREW (SAXAPHONIST) IF HE IS AVAILABLE!!! He and Marty are great performers together and he's such a big hit with his solos! The sax adds something unique & special to the performance.

    We simply can't say enough good things about Marty & Drew - thank you both for an amazing performance and for being such positive & kind people on our wedding day.

    Fantastic Band!

    Marty was incredible. His musical performances are obviously top notch, and had the whole party dancing. What we really appreciated about Marty was his willingness to help make the entire event run smoothly, even with tasks that would be considered outside his responsibilities. 10/10 recommend!

    Best wedding band!!

    My now husband and I first saw Marty and Drew play in Fort Collins two months into dating and made a mental note that if we got married some day we wanted him to play the wedding, and lucky us two and a half years later he was available! He was incredibly professional and helpful with suggestions throughout the planning process and made everything run incredibly smoothly throughout the ceremony and dinner, but brought the big guns out for the reception. It felt like a show at our favorite dive bar and Marty and Drew did an incredible job of keeping the energy going. We loved everything about our wedding but the band was definitely what stood out and one of the things we got the most compliments on. Wonderful guys and highly recommend for your special day!
