👋🏻Oh hey gang, I'm Matthew, the Wedding DJ and Coordinator with Bow Tied Experiences. My aim is help fun-loving couples with a seamless experience by coordinating the music, the timeline, the layout, and all the details, so you can have a fun and stress-free wedding celebration. 🎉Leading up to your wedding celebration, I'll get started by helping to ease the stress of wedding planning with a complimentary date night experience. A couple months out we can start diving into the details, schedule a walkthrough at your venue with your whole wedding team, and begin finalizing your timeline, the layout, and of course, the music.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt went above and beyond to make our wedding exactly what we hoped for and then some! From the start, he was personable and made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what our guests might look for, rather than making assumptions or working off a "templated plan." He was nonjudgmental and offered creative suggestions/solutions on matters we didn't think of or didn't know enough about. At the same time, he took into account every tiny/unusual request or detail we asked for. Countless guests commented on how skilled he was at reading the room and keeping the energy high all night... guests who otherwise don't dance or party at weddings were on the dance floor all night thanks to Matt! While we only hired him as a DJ, from what I understand he has since added on coordinator services, and he showcased those skills as well! He was more than just a DJ who shows up to play songs- he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a smooth flow. He kept us on schedule, moving things along just as we had imagined, while staying flexible with our whims throughout the night. He even checked in to make sure we had drinks, food, etc. as festivities went along. He is truly dedicated to his role, and his passion shines through, making our day even better than we could have ever imagined!

Olivia Scott Piano

5.0

Hoover, AL
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $325
  • Serves Jackson, MS for additional fees

Hello! I am a classically trained pianist who loves to play for weddings and events! I received my bachelors in piano and performance from Samford University. Let me help you set the perfect backdrop for your wedding ceremony!

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia was so wonderful to work with! From finding her on wedding wire and sending my inquiry, she very quickly responded with availability and was so reliable! She responded to every email in less than a day from start to finish. This particularly stood out to me as many vendors I encountered were slow/non responsive. She arrived on time to the ceremony with her own supplies (small extra cost included in my total) and executed it all perfectly. She had to extend the processional song (I think??) due so slow grandparents walking but it was smooth and flawless. She played for a total of about 50 minutes. 30 minutes leading up to the ceremony, about 10 minutes of the ceremony, and 10 minutes afterwards. I would highly recommend Olivia for all of your event or wedding needs!

Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!
