    Best day ever!

    Jeremy is so wonderful and kind. He was super helpful with any question or concerns we had for music for our wedding. The ukulele during the ceremony was beautiful! The music sounded and amazing and kept everyone on the dance floor.

    Amazing Set!

    Jeremy Russell got everyone dancing and they kept dancing all night! Very impressive musicianship and stage presence. We loved ending the night on American Pie by Don Mclean!

    Best wedding band!!

    Jeremy Russell and the Generations was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. They are extremely thorough in planning and communicate extremely well! They adapted to changes in plans and were on top of emceeing the entire night, keeping everything right on track! They had everyone on the dance floor from the first song until the last (even the encore!) We had the absolute best time and can’t recommend them enough!

    Excellent!

    Jeremy was fantastic. All of our guests complimented on music choices and the acoustic set during happy hour. He knew what to play to get the crowd going! Also, the uplighting was so worth it! Thank you!!

    Really 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!

    The most FUN night!

    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!!!

    Professional, 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!

    the best of the best!

    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

    Jeremy is the best!

    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!!

    Best Party Ever!!

    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!!!!

    Excellent band and DJ

    Jeremy was the best - we had a band that cancelled at the last minute and he rescued us as a DJ for the night. His band was already booked for our big party and they were awesome - really excellent and adjusted their play list as they got a feel for our crowd. We couldnt be happier!!

    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!

    If 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!

    Best DJ in the OBX!

    Jeremy was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive to our requests! He made our wedding everything we wanted it to be from beginning to end. He went above and beyond what was expected! We would highly recommend Jeremy for any event in the Outer Banks!

    Jeremy 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!

    The Perfect Music Selection all around!

    Jeremy was totally awesome from the start. He can accompany traditional DJ services with live music and is extremely talented. We really felt he got who we were as a couple and did a great job reading the room to get everyone on the dance floor. It was a blast.

    Fantastic experience!

    We used Jeremy and his team to set up a sound system for our welcome dinner and Raymond as our DJ for our ceremony/reception. Both went flawlessly and Jeremy and his team were so responsive throughout the planning process. Raymond literally saved the wedding due to difficulties we were having with our venue. Would recommend this team to any couple!

    Best wedding band ever!

    Jeremy and the Generations put on an unbelievable reception for our wedding on May 6th at the Inn On Pamlico Sound. When we originally reached out, Jeremy and his band was unfortunately unavailable on our date but he followed up later when the date opened up and we are so grateful for his proactiveness, in hindsight we wouldn't have wanted any one else. Jeremy performed acoustic music during our ceremony which was exceptional and handled everything from first dance songs to wireless microphones for the toasts. When it came time to dance at the reception, they had the entire party on the dance floor groovin'. Over 2 hours of non-stop tunes, they finally wrapped up and finished the night with a few DJ'd hits which were the cherry on top. After the wedding, we've heard from so many friends and family asking "who was that band?!" as they were so impressed, a testament to their musical talent and ability to play the right song at the right time. I cannot recommend Jeremy enough!!!

    Jeremy is a rockstar!

    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!
