Martelle and his crew are amazing! The date for our wedding reception (AKA Extravagayza) was changed three times due to the pandemic and let me tell you...it was worth the wait! ...
We received so many texts the next day saying that the music was freakin off the chain! We also hired them to do the up lighting and a photo booth. The lighting helped set the mood for a fun night of dancing and the photo booth captured the playfulness in our guests. Just hire them - you won't regret it!
The one job my fiancé gave me was to find a dj and so I couldn’t mess it up , but believe me I made the perfect choice !!! Bc of Covid we did zoom meetings in the evening, which ...
was nice because we didn’t even have to leave the house! The website Martelle uses made the process so easy ,convenient , and we really liked how we could send links out to our friends for song requests! We couldn’t be happier with everything Martelle did & how the wedding turned out! This man gets people on the dance floor !! Thanks again Martelle!

ade it so easy. He even had a light display option to project our names onto the dance floor. Every guest was dancing. He is professional, pays attention to detail, and has an awesome system that links with Spotify. You can add songs, set requests, and he always gets every guest off their feet. We are so grateful for Martelle and his amazing DJ skills for our June wedding. Thank you Martelle!!

I wouldn't shop around for DJs. DJ TKO Entertainment is the best there is. Book now and find out what I mean! Thank you again!!
First and foremost Martelle is very flexible and adjusts to your schedule without issue. Martelle is very professional, personable, and family oriented. Martelle offers great knowl...
edge and assistance with the schedule and adjustments or recommendations needed to make the wedding day run smoothly. The program he utilizes makes the process so simple and efficient. Martelle is in constant contact and adjusted things for my wife and I the day before and day of the wedding. The DJ TKO Entertainment crew are by far the best! I know you can only rate with five stars, but they are easily 10 out of 5 star worthy!
We first met Martelle two years ago — my wife and I (then just dating) attended a wedding Martelle was DJ. We were blown away. Fast forward a year, we are engaged and wedding plann...
ing. We reached out to that couple for his DJ info and they highly recommended him — DJ TKO.
First and foremost, Martelle is a family man. He gleams when asked about his children. This was important to us when we were meeting with wedding vendors because our nieces and nephews had a huge role in our day. After our first meeting with Martelle, it felt like we just had dinner with an old friend.
DJ TKO is a Professional. He takes a lot of pride in his craft. When we meet with him, he wasn’t just going through the motions, he listened to our requests and was understanding and respectful — most importantly he made recommendations based off of his wealth of experience.
The most important advice I can give a couple reading reviews seeking to retain a DJ is chose one that cares, cares about your wedding day — in our option DJ TKO is your guy. With our package, he included contemporary music at the ceremony with classical instrumental musicians which he mixed with DJ beats. He also provided all the lighting and the monogram. The lighting was clutch because it changed colors as the night evolved. The monogram was chosen through a huge selection and it was a really nice touch to making the venue special. He also provided an MC for our reception. The MC played a critical role in the introductions and making sure the guests where attentive to that part of the evening. The MC took the time to learn everyones names, and was a great hype man for our wedding party as we entered the dance floor.
We had many special requests, and he took the time to plan them out and included them seamlessly — while adding his own flair. At the end of the day, Martelle had the dance floor packed the entire wedding. Even our great aunt who doesn’t dance and hasn’t smiled in 20 years because she is miserable — was on the dance floor — that is the level this man is on.
Finally, trust the process. Martelle’s style includes multiple pre-wedding meetings and calls. There is a method here, and he is trying to gather as much info as the planning evolves to make sure he can provide you the best experience on your wedding day. He was a huge part of making it the best day of our lives. Thank you.
Martelle was a great professional and we enjoyed him throughout the entire process. He scheduled several meetings prior to the wedding to ensure he understood our needs and prefere...
nces. The day of our wedding, Martelle had the party jumping. The dance floor was full before the salad was even served. After every transition, Martelle knew exactly what to play to keep our guests engaged and entertained. A month later, guests still talk about how great of a DJ he was. We really can’t say enough about how grateful we are to have had Martelle and his emcee at our wedding.
Martelle and his team were so incredibly great to work with and I could not recommend them enough for weddings!!!! I would say he was one of the most responsive, organized and affo...
rdable vendors we dealt with during this wedding process. He met with us 2 times in person, scheduled as many phone calls as needed and responded to our last minute email changes so promptly. He has a website/portal where you can insert all your requests and details of your wedding which was helpful to keep our meetings efficient and organized.
During the actual wedding he really helped to keep us on schedule. Despite the wide variety of age groups and musical interests of our guests he had a great read the vibes on the dance floor to keep the floor full and flow of the evening going. We had the chance to collect music requests before the wedding and people were free to make requests as well. If people did make requests Martelle was also really great with respecting what we had asked of him during our prior meetings if the song didn’t match our list.
Matt was the MC of the night and he produced a lot of energy with no “cheese,” as requested.
We also used the photo booth with Martelle and as far as we know, people had a lot of fun with that as well. He provided the backdrop and props, so we were able to be totally hands off with that and were able to have one less vendor!
We are thankful for this fabulous group and you would be missing out if you didn't get Martelle on your vendor team!
One of the best customer service I've received from a vendor, for any parties. Very responsive and works with exactly your needs. Martelle is able to really judge the vibe of the...
event and play music accordingly. He gets people up on their feet and my guests raved about him for both events I've used him for (Wedding and Christening). The setup of the DJ booth is awesome and looks classy and not an eye sore. I will continue to use Martelle for all DJ needs in the future. Also, he does not charge ridiculous prices!
Martelle is amazing to work with and really read our crowd with his selection of music.
Simple amazing.
I have known Martelle since High School and so has my fiance, so when we were looking for a DJ for our wedding there was no doubt he would be it! The meetings we had were great (he...
is very patient, coming from a bride that had a hard time making any type of decision) and he kept up on track! The music was awesome! You wont be disappointed going with this DJ. Our day went fantastic, I wish we could do it all over again! Thank you again TKO for making our day so special! Xo Chris & Jill A.
We had a blast with DJ TKO at our wedding! Martelle is great and very organized and professional. We loved the feature of having a website guests could make requests through. I'd h...
ighly recommend DJ TKO to anyone looking for a fun time!
We worked with Martelle closely, and he was such an integral member of our vendor team. The first time we met him (before we booked), we ended up talking for almost an hour, and di...
dn't even ask about some of the details we set out to find, just because we were really into the conversation. We met up many more times after that point to go over details. He was extremely thorough, and his online portal was simple to use and had a large catalog. For all the services he provides, he's extremely well-priced. We also used him for uplighting, and a monogram light, and his DJ booth blended in so well with the reception space.
The day of our wedding was PERFECT. Both our families are big dancers, but he had them on the floor before we were even introduced!!! We also had a mini dance session after our first dance (his suggestion), which worked really well. The dance floor was packed the entire night. He played great songs and knew how to read the room perfectly.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend this company, and especially Martelle to anyone we know!
We used DJ TKO for our wedding in October and we could not be happier with our decision. Martelle was very professional and took the time to understand our wants and needs. Our gue...
sts were very pleased with the music at the reception and the feedback we got was that there was something for everyone. Additionally, the partnership DJ TKO has with the string quartet made this well worth the investment. The quartet did the ceremony with traditional strings and then added electric stylings for the cocktail hour with more contemporary music. We were really blown away and we can't thank DJ TKO enough for making our day all the more special!
Martelle was absolutely amazing! He was very accommodating for meetings, and any requests we had. He was with us every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for anything better. F...
or the wedding, he really read the crowd and played different types of music. He kept the energy up and I've received so many complements from guests about how great the DJ was! We had him provide music for ceremony, cocktail and reception. Best decision ever!
We found DJ TKO through suggestion from our photographers and they are so awesome! We didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted in the beginning, but Martelle was super nice and h...
elped us figure out what we wanted. He accommodated all the special songs that we wanted and did a great job the whole night. People had a lot of fun and I couldn't be happier about having them as our DJ!

to know us a little better. That day they were upbeat, personable, and SO much fun! Everyone had a blast - thank you so much DJ TKO for making my wedding seriously the best day ever!!!
Martelle was awesome. He went above and beyond in preparation for our wedding. Martelle made sure every detail and request (we had alot) was met and fulfilled for me and my wife. ...
Our wedding was on New Years Eve and with a tight timeline he was able to get in all the songs we wanted and provided a great countdown to the New Years. My wife and I really apreciated the meetings we had leading up to the wedding when Martelle would help us plan and cover every detail. It helped put us at ease that everything would go as planned as it did. I would reccomend him for anybody looking for a DJ for their wedding. Thanks again Martelle!
After having the chance to meet Martelle and Matt at another wedding, we knew we had the DJ for ours. Thier professionalism, attention to detail, and perfection of their craft had ...
us sold. We had no reason to look elsewhere. The planning system they use is great, being able to pick and choose what to play for each part of the evening was awesome. From the do not play list to the must haves, they followed our wishes exactly. Martelle was more than willing to drive to us to plan the event, and being able to meet in person to discuss details and not over the phone was great. Both Matt and Martelle kept everyone on the dancefloor until the end. We would highly recommend DJ TKO Entertainment to anyone looking for a professional and fun DJ.
Martelle was incredible to work with! I'm very selective with my music, and the feel I wanted for my wedding, and he absolutely nailed it! His quality of work and professionalism i...
s exceptional. My husband and I live out of state, and Martelle was very accommodating in setting up meetings to discuss the day both in person and over the phone. There is also a client portal he provides that allows you to pick types of music, specific songs, what not to play, when to play them, etc. It also creates a basic outline of your day, so it's very easy to visualize what your day is going to be like. On the day, Martelle and his MC were on time and very professional. Every song played was in our style and as we discussed, and my guests had an incredible time! We also included an up-lighting package that was well worth it and added to an already amazing experience!
If you book with DJ TKO you will not regret it! I can't stress enough how much my husband and I enjoyed our experience with this company! Thank you!!!!
When we started wedding planning we had to think most about what people would remember at a wedding, we narrowed it down to fantastic food and awesome music. I found DJ TKO by read...
ing some great reviews and met in person a few days later, there was no doubt in our minds we had to book him. Martelle is hands down amazing, our dance floor was packed with every song. He kept everyone up and energetic for the whole night but what was really important is that he listened to our likes and dislikes. We also booked the medium sized photo booth which our guests loved and the pictures are hilarious. From start to finish DJ TKO was professional, thorough, and personable which made our life easier during wedding planning.
Working with Martelle for our wedding was one of the easiest things we had to do while planning. He was so great to work with and made everything so easy for us. From our first mee...
ting with him we knew that we found the perfect DJ for our special day. He was funny and knowledgeable and really understood what it was that we wanted from a DJ. With his background as a club DJ we had no doubts that he would be able to get people moving and keep the energy up the entire night. While we had some requests (which the portal on their website made it so simple to add songs and plan out the evening) we gave Martelle free reign to play what he wanted. The dance floor was packed all night and I don’t think I saw my grandmother take a seat until it was time to leave. He really was our favorite vender and knows the ins and outs of the business. I have recommended him to many people and will continue to do so.
Martelle and Matt did an amazing job at our wedding! It was great working with Martelle throughout the planning process. He was always quick to answer any questions we had, he met...
up with us on multiple occasions to make sure we were comfortable and the website was very user friendly. All together Martelle and Matt were amazing to work with and the music was fantastic! We highly recommend them for any event!
Martelle was amazing from beginning to end, he was always friendly and willing to work with some of our not so typical song requests. He was a part of our ceremony as well as recep...
tion. He was so accommodating to our needs for the ceremony from speakers to timing to very specific song requests. He always had a smile on and had the best attitude, making this process the least stressful of my planning. The reception went off wonderfully, he was so great. We even had an incident with a passed out grandmother right before our first dance and Martelle handled it perfectly. Once the reception started the party didn't stop, I've been getting compliments from all the guests about how great the music and atmosphere was. Highly recommend Martelle and his company. Seriously the best!!
We were recently married and DJ TKO Entertainment provided the atmosphere for our reception. Martelle and Matt were exceptional. We had a variety of cultures with an extremely wide...
range of taste in music. Martelle brought everyone together by hitting everything from bluegrass to afrobeat. The mix was outstanding. Matt did a wonderful job with introductions and pronouncing names correctly as well keeping the timeline on track. Both were very professional with a touch of fun. They met our expectations and more. If you're looking for class at your function or event, choose DJ TKO Entertainment. You will not be disappointed.

ance floor the entire night. We even had people dancing before dinner was served! My husband and I also made a mistake in that we accidentally forgot to give Martelle one of the names of our bridal party. We realized this just minutes before the introductions. Martelle and Matt adapted so quickly and seamlessly. We have had so many people tell us how much they loved the music and not just from friends but from older family members as well. I would recommend DJ TKO entertainment if you want to have the best party ever!!

ofessionalism and timelessness was impeccable. We highly recommend his team for any wedding reception style. The music was on point for the entire evening and kept the people on the dance floor.

ongs so well, and the dance floor was packed the entire night! He booked the Philadelphia String Quartet for us, and the duo played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We loved the string musicians! It was such a classy touch having them play and their creative takes on songs we know were really cool. Martelle is extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we were happy, including wearing a tie that matched our colors! We highly recommend Martelle.
Martelle was so great to work with throughout the entire process. He was so accommodating when it came to choosing dates and places to meet and coordinate ideas for the wedding. ...
He was great at giving feedback from his previous experiences and helped make the entire process so easy. Randy was our MC for the evening and he was also phenomenal. Everyone had a wonderful time and the dancefloor was packed the entire night!! Highly highly recommended!!!!!!! Thanks for making our day that much more amazing!

reparation alone. Martelle is a true professional.
Matt, our MC, and Jose, our DJ, kept the crowd entertained. There were never any lulls and all ages were on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time to the point that we were shooing people out at the end of the night.
If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding or special event, look no further. I like to pride myself as having great taste in music and parties, and I must say that DJ TKO Enterta...
inment did a phenomenal job of energizing the crowd at our wedding. Working as a team, Martelle playing music and Randy emceeing was the perfect combination to get everyone dancing and keep them dancing throughout the night.
Martelle was a consummate professional throughout the entire planning process leading up to our wedding. We met in person so that he could get a sense of our taste in music as well as the demographics of our wedding guests in order to provide a completely customized experience; there was no generic wedding playlist involved. The website was also very helpful and easy to use: it helped streamline the planning process and brought up things that we might not have thought about otherwise.
All in all, I can't think of a single complaint about DJ TKO. They did everything perfectly which contributed to making our special day a memorable one.
DJ TKO would be a solid choice for your wedding. These guys are organized, responsive, professional, and sensitive to your needs for ALL aspects of your day, whether it's music fo...
r your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner music, anything. They will meet you in person to go over your event prior to your wedding...other DJ's are difficult to even get on the phone!
When you meet with them they will go over everything in detail, and ask you important questions that you didn't even think about before your wedding, like, what is your cake cutting song? What is your bouquet-throwing song? And if you don't know the answers they will suggest ones for you. They also have an online system for submitting your music requests prior to your event.
Above all, DJ TKO are great WEDDING DJ's. Other more general DJ's who do other events won't be as sensitive to the demands of an event like a wedding that needs a lot of coordination.
Highly recommend, as they did such a great job with our wedding. Thanks DJ TKO!!!
DJ TKO made our wedding day the best day ever! They were so organized and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Whatever we needed, they made it happen. The amount of ene...
rgy and talent here is unheard of. DJ TKO brought the house down the entire night! Our guests had so much fun and danced all night long which is just what you want at your reception. I promise if you go with DJ TKO, you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you, DJ TKO Entertainment!!!!!!!

n absolute pleasure! Martelle was super helpful and flexible when meeting with us, and also just a very cool guy to work with. Matt was an awesome emcee at the wedding and really kept the crowd pumped up and dancing! Also, their new uplighting completely transformed the look of our room and made it absolutely beautiful! Finally, their client website where you can sign in and enter all of your wedding information, as well as request songs from a huge database and look up the top requested songs for anything from first dances to cake cutting was super easy and fun! I would highly recommend DJ TKO for any event that you need an awesome and unique party!
Martelle was such a pleasure to work with from the very start of the planning process. I am a very big advocate of searching all review websites and making sure the vendor is perfe...
ct before even contacting them! Martelle's company had fabulous reviews so when he was available on my date I was so happy! He is quick to respond and professional. He has this amazing website where planning is made so simple - you can basically plan every detail online so he has a written copy of every song request you have.
Now, on to the execution of our event. The dance floor was packed all night long! Need I say more? He played a great mix of oldies and new hits alike, but always knew the right mix to please all ages. Matt was a great MC and had a good balance of wedding announcements but still let the party do its thing. At the end when the party had ended, my one friend really wanted to hear one more song (T-Swift, obvi) and he played it to make my guest(s) so happy!
I would recommend Martelle 1000 times over!
DJ TKO Entertainment is hands down the best way to go for your wedding or event. My sister used them for her wedding and we were so impressed that when my wedding came around I did...
n't think twice about who would be my DJ. From the very beginning Martelle makes you feel like part of the TKO family with a one on one meeting to say hello, get to know the couple, and see what he can do to help make your big day even more special. He is also VERY well priced and not only do you get a DJ, but he offers an emcee as part of his package, which definitely sets him apart from other DJ options. The line up of emcees available is incredible. There is someone to fit every bride and grooms personality. We wanted someone high energy and that would help us get the shy people up and dancing and Randy couldn't have been more perfect. He was fun, entertaining, full of energy and kept the dance floor packed, even with old people, all night. He helped lead the line dances for those who were new to them and at one point was center of the dance floor in a split (my photographer got a great picture of it!). I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about Martelle. Everything we discussed in our pre-wedding meetings was executed perfectly the day of. He played the most perfect music for the crowd that was at my wedding and our dance floor was packed all night. I received endless comments after the event that they all just loved the DJ and he played such a great mix of music. He was also very flexible and if I wanted to deviate from the plan the day of the wedding he was more than happy to change it up. I HIGHLY recommend DJ TKO Entertainment. Martelle is simply AMAZING and you can't go wrong with ANY of the emcees. Thank you thank you thank you Martelle and Randy for making our day so perfect!!!!
Martelle and Matt exceeded all our expectations for our wedding! The pre planning meetings were great and even when we had last minute changes everything went so smoothly. Our wedd...
ing had a very diverse group of attendees and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Even the photobooth attendants were amazing and went above and beyond with our Photo Guest Book. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ (or photobooth or lighting!) for any type of event.
While attending a bridal show, I saw a former student of mine doing a presentation about this company. He was funny, warm and just seemed like he would be a great fit for my recept...
ion. Basically, he hadn't changed from when he was my student. Marlon Cross did an awesome job at the reception! He kept the crowd dancing and several people told me how much they liked the DJ. He definitely added to the fun.
