Reach out today to get started taking your wedding to the next level!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nicholas was the best wedding DJ service we could have ever asked for. Leading up to our wedding, Nicholas was very easy to work with and had very good communication. We were able to have all of our questions and concerns taken care of before our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Nicholas did a SUPERB job DJing! Our favorite part about Nicholas is that he does not simply just play a Spotify playlist and calls it good. Nicholas actually mixes songs together and he does an amazing job doing so. I had so many of my friends coming up to me on the dance floor saying, "HEY, DUDE!! THIS DJ IS AWESOME!" The DJing Nicholas does is amazing by itself, but Nicholas also does an amazing job MCing our wedding. He knows when music should be played, and how to keep everyone engaged at the wedding whether its him directing everyone's attention to the cake cutting or the first dance. There was one part at our wedding where we had our guests congregating at our venue before our outside ceremony started. This was something we never planned for before. We originally thought guest would take their seats outside. Nonetheless Nicholas realized what was going on and instead of guests talking with no music on, Nicholas started playing fitting wedding music for the guests to be greeted to in order to create a welcoming atmosphere. It sounds small but this was such a nice touch that he did. We didn't even have to tell him to do this. It really goes to show that even if your wedding plan doesn't go the way that you want, Nicholas will be able to adapt to any situation. The Ceremony itself was done perfectly. We had a handful of songs for him to play as well as some back up songs if some parts of the Ceremony took longer than expected. Nicholas was able to execute the Ceremony flawlessly. Nicholas is the whole package. He is very skilled at DJing and MCing, he is very kind and easy to work with, he provides a lot of his own equipment, and he does all of this at an amazing price. I feel like we should have been paying him 4x for what he charges. He is an amazing DJ and a gentleman. You can tell he really cares about all of his clients. You cannot go wrong with Nicholas!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further.

Martin, thank you for such a fun party!!! Our wedding dance floor was bumping, and the music was the perfect mix of everything we wanted. I was nervous about finding a DJ that would only stick to the normal “wedding reception music” and participation dances. During our planning call, Martin ensured that would not be the case and the vibe was going to be just perfect. And it truly was! Thank you
