Dane Sent on 12/14/2024Everything we wanted!!
Bride wanted a DJ, groom wanted live music, and Jeremy delivered on both beyond our expectations! It was an amazing and smooth transition from acoustic guitar to David on sax during the ceremony, guitar/sax duet during cocktail hour, DJ/sax during dinner, and full on unforgettable jumping/screaming/fist-pumping DJ dance party at the reception. Jeremy and Dave were so fun and so good at what they do. Jeremy was super communicative and patient with us throughout the planning process. -

We hired OBX Wedding Entertainment to play our ceremony and cocktail hour music, and they did not disappoint! Guests commented on how nice it was to have music while they waited for the ceremony and the cocktail music was the perfect segue into the party. Phil was great to have that day! Leading up to the wedding, communication was clear and enthusiastic. They made us feel special on a day most special to us, and we can't thank them enough for it! -

Jeremy worked our wedding this past October. I cannot begin to recommend his services! From the ease and consistent communication, to the understanding of what we wanted, he and his team was amazing throughout. On the day of the actual wedding, he made everything a breeze. Everything was perfect and he met and exceed our expectations from playing live to DJing our favorite songs all night long. We had the best evening and absolutely could not have had a better experience with OBX Wedding Entertainment. 20/10 would recommend! -

Michael Sent on 11/14/2024Best Wedding Band Ever!
If you're looking for a wedding band that will keep the energy high and the dance floor packed, look no further! This band was absolutely amazing from start to finish, bringing such a fun and vibrant vibe to our wedding. They seamlessly mixed 90s hits with today’s chart-toppers, creating a perfect blend that had everyone—from our parents to our friends—singing and dancing all night. Their talent, energy, and song selection were spot on, and they genuinely seemed to enjoy every minute as much as we did. Guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun they had, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this band for anyone wanting a memorable, high-energy celebration! -

We were absolutely blown away by Jeremy Russell and the Generations at our wedding! We came across them at Avalon Pier and knew right away they were the ones. Jeremy played guitar and sang at the ceremony and it was so beautiful and emotional. His three piece band was so amazing - everyone is still asking where we found them. I would highly recommend hiring the band for the reception. The band really has a great vibe together and we didn’t make any major special requests because they know all the crowd pleasers! The ceremony music was elegant and moving, setting the perfect tone, while their reception set was vibrant and got everyone up and dancing. They were incredibly versatile, able to play a mix of genres and mashups that flowed so well and kept all of our guests entertained. The energy they brought to the night was infectious! Their professionalism and talent are unmatched – we couldn’t have asked for a better band. Thank you, Jeremy Russell and the Generations, for making our wedding unforgettable! -

I can't say enough amazing things about Jeremy! He was our DJ for our wedding at the Kitty Hawk Pier. He was familiar with our venue and its needs/requirements before hand. He kept the music questionnaire very simple and was very flexible when I had questions and concerns. The day of our wedding, I got nervous because we had not rehearsed anything with music so I gave him a call. He reassured me he would follow our lead and it went perfectly! The dance floor was occupied all night and we had lots of compliments on our music! Thank YOU Jeremy! -

Jeremy was an absolute blast to work with! He made the entire process easy and stress-free. During our ceremony, he played exactly what we wanted, and at the reception, he completely nailed the vibe, keeping the party going all night long. His ability to read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor was impressive. We highly recommend Jeremy for anyone looking for a DJ who knows how to bring the fun! -

Tiffany Sent on 07/10/2024A great musician to hire!
We hired him to come play music at the beach house we rented for a family reunion. He was awesome! Very talented and professional, while also friendly and personable. We had children and adults of all ages requesting songs in the moment, and instead of getting frazzled or frustrated that they weren’t on our original list of requests….he kept his cool, kept smiling and attempted a bunch of them with a smile and some humor if he didn’t actually know the whole song. All in all it was a great night and we were super happy with him! -

Micah Sent on 06/25/2024Thank you so much!!!
Jeremy played & DJ’d for my wedding this past weekend and was fantastic!! I had a very specific vision for the music for the ceremony & reception (my new husband & I are both theatre people) & Jeremy was SO flexible and accommodating with all of our requests!! I had a friend perform a song during the ceremony & we had some hiccups with whether another friend would be able to play guitar live or if we would need to use a track/which track to use and despite super late notice on my end, Jeremy made it all happen and it worked beautifully!!
I was up in the hotel getting changed during cocktail hour, but my parents raved about Jeremy’s singing, particularly his rendition of “Carolina on my Mind”. :)
For the reception, we opted for the up-lighting, which was 100% the right call! It added so much to the space (Kitty Hawk Pier), and his lighting setup on the whole made for great dancing vibes! My family & friends love dancing, and Jeremy definitely facilitated a hype environment to get people on the dance floor! He even played some of our more out requests like “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from Mulan which was so fun to scream-sing! Everyone had a great time, and several guests told me it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to (they may have just said that because I’m the bride lol, if I’m going to take their word for it 😂).
Thank you Jeremy & your team for everything!! 10/10 would recommend! 💕 -

Anne Sent on 06/25/2024The best wedding entertainment!
Jeremy was the best entertainer we could ask for! Starting off with the ceremony, he beautifully played the guitar alongside our violinist for the processional song that I walked down the aisle to (Can’t Help Falling In Love), he made sure everyone that was speaking was mic’d up and that our guests could hear everything perfectly, and he played our recessional song right on que. He then blew all of our guests away with singing acoustic with his guitar AMAZINGLY! Jeremy did a great job with DJing and picked all of the best songs to bring all of our guests together on the dance floor for the reception - he is a true professional! Everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had dancing all night long - there wasn’t a time when guests were not on the dance floor! We had the best wedding night and Jeremy was a huge part of making it so wonderful! If anybody is looking for the complete wedding entertainment package for your big day then Jeremy is definitely the best to do it!

Laura Sent on 06/19/2024AMAZING! Stop searching & book with Jeremy
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ than Jeremy for our wedding reception! From the moment we started working with him, we knew we were in great hands. He went above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless.
Not only did he keep the dance floor packed all night with an amazing selection of music AND knocked it out of the park with our intricate ceremony song selections, but he also serenaded us during the cocktail hour with his beautiful acoustic guitar and vocals. His musical talent is truly exceptional, and his performance added a magical touch to our event that our guests are still raving about.
His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for music made our wedding unforgettable. He took the time to understand our music preferences and seamlessly blended them with his own fantastic mix. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high was impressive. He even provided us with a few photos and videos he took himself, which gave us an incredible shot from his point of view (one of my favorite pictures of us at the alter, which I included). His positivity, genuine excitement for our big day, and overall personality made us feel like we had known him for years and just had another friend come celebrate our love (which we now consider him!).
If you're looking for a DJ who can do it all—rock the party and provide a stunning acoustic set—look no further, Jeremy is your guy. We are beyond grateful for his incredible contribution to our wedding and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
Thank you, Jeremy, a million times over, for helping us have the night of our lives :) -

Highly, highly recommend hiring Jeremy!
We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We had lots of requests and ideas that made his job more complicated, and he was so generously game to accomodate everything we wanted—even when that meant bringing extra equipment, doing a more complicated setup, and spending time on the phone with us to go through all the details. He was very communicative and responsive throughout the whole process, and willing to take the time to listen to all our ideas and figure out how to make them work.
On the day, everything went perfectly! We got so many comments about what an amazing DJ he was and that our dance floor was so rockin'. He did a great job of mixing in our must-plays with other fun songs that got people dancing and songs we love that we hadn't even thought about putting on our list! He is great at reading the room/crowd and keeping the party going.
Afterwards, he even took the time to send us the photos and videos he had taken during the night, which was amazing—he captured some special moments that happened after our photographer and videographer had already left and we're so happy to have those memories!
We couldn't ask for a better experience with Jeremy! Hire him! -

We had Jeremy DJ our wedding on 4/20/2024 and he was beyond AMAZING! We got married in OBX and are from Virginia Beach, VA. I found him at the Expo in OBX last August. From the minute we signed him on till the day of our wedding, he was always on top of his game when it came to communication, professionalism, availability, and most importantly, providing ideas when needed. He also took pictures and videos that evening and those looked very professional considering he was our DJ. He went above and beyond in every aspect while also sharing his knowledge of his business. I will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone and give him 5 stars. If we ever need a DJ for whatever reason in the future, Jeremy is who we will call!! -

I cant thank Jeremy and his team enough for the most memorable wedding day/night. He absolutely crushed everything from the little details of our ceremony music to the cocktail hour and reception. Our guests said it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to!!!
On top of being a phenomenal entertainer - our wedding had to be moved indoors due to a tropical storm and the ceremony and reception spaces were the same. Without hesitation or a thought, Jeremy jumped right in to help our vendor team execute the impossible and flip our room around in no time. Ontop of that, there were power outages and non working elevators. I was so impressed with both Jeremy's professionalism, humanity and genuine happiness for my groom and I on our wedding day, despite the chaos. I will forever remember dancing my butt off and having the best day of our lives, but I will also remember how kind and genuine the team is at OBX Entertainment. Thank you Jeremy -

Kendall Sent on 11/16/2023Professional, Thorough, and Incredibly Talented
We discovered the magic that is Phil Watson on Spotify, and we absolutely adored his voice. When we last-minute needed someone to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour, Phil was the obvious choice. Working with Jeremy, Phil, and the Outer Banks Wedding Entertainment team was nothing short of wonderful. They know what they’re doing!! Between the easy booking protocol, the thorough form to submit ceremony songs, and the pre-wedding emails with detailed information on how to best prepare for the wedding – we knew we were in good hands. Numerous guests reported that ours was the only ceremony they’ve attended where the music cues were timed correctly, and we REALLY appreciate that! Phil was so kind and talented throughout the process. Thank you to Phil, Jeremy, and the entire team for going above and beyond to make our wedding magic! -

Jeremy helped give us the most fun wedding and was such a delight to work with. In the planning stages, he was very thorough, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted to hear at what times and also the “no-plays.” During cocktail hour, his acoustics were beautiful, really setting the vibe for the whole rest of the night. We had a big dancing crowd and Jeremy absolutely gave everyone the fun atmosphere they were hoping for during the reception. We danced the night away and couldn’t have had a better time. Absolutely recommend!!! -

We made the best decision hiring Jeremy with Outer Banks Wedding Entertainment for our Sept 2023 wedding. He was so easy to work with, was communicative, and guided the reception into an awesome dance party for sure! We had some specific requests for song choice for our wedding, and Jeremy executed all of them perfectly! His acoustic set during our cocktail hour was enjoyed by all, and he brings the energy to your entire day. We are so thankful for Jeremy and highly recommend him! -

Jeremy is the best! He DJ for our ceremony and reception and then he sang and played acoustic during our cocktail hour. He is so incredibly nice, professional and talented! We got so many compliments from our guests on how awesome he was. He was extremely easy and responsive working up to the wedding. He exceeded all expectations. Also, shoutout to Emily who helped up book Jeremy and answered any of our questions! When you book with Jeremy you are getting the best!! -

Rachel Sent on 10/04/2023Really kept the party going!
Music is something I was picky about. I love a good dance floor and hate that every single wedding plays close to the same playlist. I tried to be detailed in my no-plays but have heard from many brides that at their weddings this was not adhered to. Raymond did a fantastic job of skipping the typical hour of oldies and went right to the good stuff. He grasped the vibe well and enjoyed joking with us about the tropical storm, playing Ophelia (name of the storm) during the reception which we loved. We truly had a great time and are so thankful for him!
Phil did our ceremony and cocktail music live acoustic, and he did an absolutely beautiful job! Having live music at the cocktail hour really elevated the atmosphere, and he is absolutely lovely! Everyone was quick to respond, and easy to plan with. I highly recommend them! -

Jeremy and his team are truly amazing! We had such a great time at our wedding. I knew from the moment I heard Phil singing at the OBX wedding weekend that I needed to have them for our wedding day and I'm so glad I did! The process was easy and everyone was so personable and easy to talk with. I communicated with Jeremy's assistant Emily leading up to the day and she is just awesome, attentive, and on top of everything. Responses to emails were in no more than 24 hours ever. Phil was a hit at our cocktail hour and all of our guests loved him! Truly a talented person and guests are still talking about it a month later! We had Raymond DJ at our reception and he KILLED it. We had a mixed crowd with a lot of different kinds of people and I wasn't sure how it was going to pan out but DJ Face was perfect and amazing!!! He got the vibe of our party immediately and played the perfect music. Everyone was dancing and everyone had a great time. You made our party an unforgettable one, thank you so much!!!! -

Chris Sent on 08/14/2023Jeremy was Awesome!
We booked Jeremy to do acoustic music for our ceremony and cocktail hour followed by DJ-ing for the evening. He was great! He was happy to accommodate our quirky acoustic song requests (Jurassic Park and Lego Theme song!) and was a great personality to have at the wedding. His DJ set was perfect. He even took photos and sent them to us so we got some early wedding pics! Thanks Jeremy! -

Hayley Sent on 08/03/2023If you're going DJ in OBX, you have to go Jeremy!
Jeremy was amazing! He handled sound for our vows and DJ'ed the music. He took our favorite music styles into consideration and played music we loved but was less of a dance floor song throughout dinner. Then he kept the party pumping when it was time.
One of my favorite moments of the night was when Jeremy asked me if I'd prefer Aladdin or Mulan and then played Mulan's I'll Make a Man Out of You at my request. This was a millennial wedding, so the entire dance floor sang along with gusto!
Thank you Jeremy from a bride who never left the dance floor! -

We have had Jeremy play for our family while on vacation twice and he is wonderful! He is a great musician, but he is also so fun and interacts with our family taking requests and even letting the kids do karaoke a bit. He is very kind, and we will definitely invite him back! -

Jeremy was PERFECT. Beautiful acoustic guitar during our ceremony and a DJ that never had a lull on the dance floor. We loved every minute! I knew my family would be ready to dance that butts off but he helped them take it to another level.
Everyone was up and in on the fun! I'd hire him all over again in a heartbeat!
