About this vendor
It's simple -- a no frills, no fuss, super experienced DJ AND live musician at an affordable price. No hourly rates and no hidden fees. All I ask is that music ends by 11pm. I used to be able to go super late but now I've got two little ones that wake up early and if I'm working until the wee hours of the morning it makes for a pretty miserable day lol. I provide all the speakers and microphones necessary for a ceremony and reception. I do not offer professional lighting however I do offer a tabletop lighting device which contains two spheres that shoot out colored lights as it spins. For how small it is, it actually creates a pretty large effect. I have DJ'd over 300 weddings (formerly with All Ears DJ and more recently independently) and have not received a single negative review on Wedding Wire and The Knot. I will professionally introduce events and dances on the mic and I will NOT be the cheesy, loud, hype-man DJ. In addition to my DJ skills, I also offer up to an hour of live acoustic covers that can really bring that extra touch to the pre-ceremony arrival of guests or during a cocktail hour. When not working weddings, I'm the primary singer and songwriter for the band The Roseline. You can check us out and decide if my voice and style is your vibe. I can handle the pacing of the evening and I'll make sure we're staying close to the schedule on paper so you don't have to worry about anything other than having the best night of your lives. I'm willing to meet with you remotely or in-person as many times as you feel necessary for you to feel good about everything going into your big day. I've created a Reception Planner form which includes everything I could think of that might be incorporated into a wedding ceremony and reception. All I ask is you fill it out at least one week prior to your event and we'll be good to go. If you want to book me for your event I ask you sign a very simple one-page contract and pay a $500 deposit to hold your date. The remaining balance can be paid any time up until the start of the event. I accept cash, credit, Venmo, PayPal, et al. If you want a no frills, chill (yet professional), and experienced DJ/live musician for your wedding or event, look no further than DJ Colin Pepper.
Let me know if you want to hop on a call or zoom and discuss my services further. Cheers! -Colin

Colin was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He arrived early, made sure all of our audio was set up correctly, and ran the show seamlessly. We had an outdoor ceremony and indoor rece...
ption and were worried about the quality of the outdoor audio, but the sound quality was great, both inside and outside. He asked all the right questions to make sure our reception was tailored exactly how we wanted it. Thanks to Colin, our dance floor was never empty, our guests had a great time, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend!
Colin did a fantastic job for our wedding! We couldn’t have been happier. He set up the outside for our ceremony and it was perfectly clear and perfect volume. Our reception was a...
mazing. He played all of our must plays and did not play any of our do not plays. We had so many compliments on the music. A great DJ truly makes for a great reception. We can’t recommend Colin enough!
I found Colin through The Knot. He was one of the first people we booked. He has all of his own equipment and is easy to communicate with. He was supposed to sing live during our c...
ocktail hour, but we did move the schedule around a little that day, so I'm thinking he just ran out of time, but we were sad we didn't get to hear him sing. He kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. He has a great document you fill out with all your preferences.
Colin was great to work with. We couldn't have had a better DJ in charge of our reception. We had our lists of music we wanted played during specific times and he nailed it. We ...
would highly recommend him if you are looking for a great DJ. He is also a super sweet guy.
We are so thankful we chose Colin as our DJ—he was absolutely incredible and so easy to work with, not to mention extremely flexible. Unfortunately, there were a few last-minute ch...
anges on the day of the wedding, some even minutes before the reception, and he adapted to everything with such ease and a great attitude!
He was incredibly professional, and the music selection was fantastic. Everyone was out on the dance floor, and we truly enjoyed our wedding even more because of the amazing atmosphere he created. We are completely satisfied with his services and would 100% recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ!
Colin had great recommendations, knew how to read the energy of the room, and was super easy to work with. He was flexible and adaptable, would recommend to anyone.
Colin was great and the dance floor was full all night. He rolled with all of the last minute changes. Totally recommend
Colin did an amazing job at our wedding. He did both our outdoor ceremony and the reception. He showed up early to make sure everything was set up and to make sure we were all on t...
he same page with the timeline of things. Everything went great he kept everyone dancing and kept the flow of the evening going. He isn’t the crazy hype man type of DJ, he is more the laid back keep the flow going and it was exactly what we were wanting. I have absolutely no complaints about Colin and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. He was super easy to work with and a great set price and doesn’t charge extra for things that most other DJs do.
I don't even know where to start with all the many reasons I recommend Colin.
I revised my "run of show" for my reception several times, and Colin was so patient and kept up with...
my adjustments.
it's so true what many others say about Colin's uncanny ability to read the room/vibe/energy. He checked in with my on the timing of some of our "moments", such as our dance, the duration of dinner, our speeches, etc.
I have had several guests specifically mention the fun DJ when reminiscing with me about the wedding.
I highly recommend Colin, and will personally be booking him again for my daughter's wedding in 2026.
We used Colin as our DJ and 10 outta 10 would recommend! He played acoustically before our ceremony as guests arrived and then during our processional down the aisle and sounded am...
azing for all of it. He even learned a song for our processional since we had a specific song request.
He also made planning for the reception and music very fun and easy. His reception planner document was simple to fill out and we could get as detailed as we wanted to. He kept the music moving and fun all night and did a great job playing the songs we requested while throwing in some surprises that also perfectly fit the vibe.
We also appreciated his very calm and steady vibe and how easy he was to get ahold of throughout the planning process. He was wonderful for our wedding and I bet he'd be wonderful for yours too!
Collin was a huge part of our night! Made it so wonderful and fun for us and our guests! I highly suggest him!!
Colin was well prepared and professional. We heard many compliments about the live music hour as well as how engaging he was with our guests. He helped make our day stress free and...
we would recommend his services for anyone looking for a great DJ that doesn't come with a huge price tag.
Colin made our wedding go so smoothly!
We had a bit of a nontraditional reception, and he kept everything on time, moving forward, and most of all, he kept the vibes HIGH.
We g...
ave him a wide variety of inspiration music, and he played everything at the right time.
He is super easy to work with, and I highly recommend booking him for your wedding!
We booked Colin for our wedding 9.7.24 about a year ago and paid in full and he messaged me with 6 weeks to go that he had a gig for his band that would make him more money. He di...
d fully refund us, but left us with no suggestions or references. I just hope he doesn't cancel last minute for any other brides.
Colin was a fantastic DJ who was very accommodating through all the chaos of our wedding planning. We gave him some direction as far as what music to play, but with that limited in...
fo, he turned out what one of our guests described, "the perfect playlist." Would highly recommend.
Colin was perfect for our wedding! We loved that he was able to do both live music and Djing. We were pretty specific about our pre-dancing dinner time music, which he implemented ...
with no issues. And the dance songs were exactly what we wanted! He is organized, laid back, flexible, and his playing and singing were the perfect vibe for our pre-ceremony and processional songs. 10/10 would recommend.
Colin was absolutely fantastic!! He was professional yet fun and very easy to work with. His reception planning form helped me think of things I wasn't previously considering. His ...
live music provided a unique touch and was so good my guests were talking about it throughout the night. He also really kept the party going with fun dance music everyone enjoyed. I would hire Colin again in a heartbeat!!
We got lots of good reviews from guests who said the dance floor was much more active than other weddings. Colin was able to accommodate our taste in music perfectly while keeping ...
the party going. He was super easy to work with and checked in with us during the event to flex the timeline. Really couldn't have asked for a better DJ.
Hands down the best part of my wedding. Colin performed as a solo guitarist, it was so romantic. It just set the tone and vibe for a really special experience. He's very communicat...
ive, making the planning process stress-free. If you have the opportunity to book him, you'll be so glad you did. Many, many compliments from guests.
