My husband and I had the very best experience with First Verse Productions. From our first call to find out more info, to the planning calls and planning resources on their website, to the actual day of - our experience was easy, straightforward and exactly what we wanted. DJ Kris Kash did an excellent job combining my husband and I's very different tastes in music. He kept the event flowing according to our timeline, communicated with out guests so they knew what was going on and what time activities were, and of course - he was an excellent DJ. We told him we wanted a party atmosphere and he definitely delivered. Also, Mrs. Nicki was excellent for our photobooth. She was so nice and funny and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this business and our experience!!
DJ Tony was absolutely amazing! We had less people show up than expected and it was mainly just family but he kept the dancing alive and fun. Everyone said he was so awesome and kind. On top of that he went above and beyond by helping me by creating a mash up of songs for a couples dance (I took all immediate families first dance songs from their wedding and did a couples dance with them) it went amazing and he communicated so well with us. We got up lighting for our space and the audio guest book. Everything turned out amazing, Cannot recommend enough!
First Verse was awesome! They provided everything we wanted and more. From dancing on the clouds, to entrance sparklers and then finally dancing to the best music. They are truly worth the money and did an incredible job. Our guests had so much fun and we danced til the end of the night. Peter and his team were the bomb!
Any questions?
I cannot say enough amazing things about First Verse! I recently hired them for their DJ and photo booth services for my wedding and they completely exceeded expectations. DJ Tony and Peter kept the crowds happy ALL NIGHT LONG with their great music selections, friendliness, senses of humor, and overall good vibes. I must have had about 20 different people come up to me and say how much they LOVED DJ Tony and Peter. Not only was the day of event great, but they also were amazing in the process leading up to the wedding. Their client portal was easy to use and helped me stay organized, and by putting in a few "must plays" into the song requests ahead of time, they completely got my music vibe the night of. There wasn't a single song they played that I didn't love! Don't book anywhere else if you need DJ and photo booth services!!!
First Verse Productions is top notch! One of the premier event entertainment providers in the Chattanooga area. As a wedding planner I work with them alot. However, I was able to experience this top notch service as a client. DJ K2 and Yvonne were the perfect team for music and photobooth for my anniversary celebration. DJ K2 understood the assignment on the music. We were on the dance floor the entire time. Yvonne monitored the photobooth like a pro. She made all of my guest look their best and capture their excitement. Book them for a smooth and amazing event.
I’m so glad we chose FirstVerse for our wedding reception. We found them at a bridal show in Nashville and enjoyed their energy. Everything from the first call where they presented the options to the client portal and pre-event call was so well done and easy to follow.
When it came to the day of logistics, the team was on site and set up earlier than expected. We had the DJs and the photobooth. DJ O$he, Big Lunch, and Miss Nicki were absolutely wonderful. They matched the energy of our group so well and we had several guests express to us how fun they were. When Miss Nikki wasn’t running the photobooth, she was on the dance floor.
I am so grateful for this team. They exceeded my expectations! I cannot recommend this team enough. (3/23/2024 wedding - Fall Creek Falls)
Tony and the team were amazing. They kept the party alive and interacted so well with the guests. Our Photo Booth attendant was lovely and gave us a surprise book of all our guests’ photos. I highly recommend them for any event!
First Verse was amazing to work with! They were very professional and super fun at our wedding!
HIGHLY recommend!
Tony was so kind, communicative, and professional while we were planning everything we wanted for the wedding. He also was able to give us incredible recommendations for other vendors in Chattanooga.
DJ K2 was better than we could've ever imagined. The dance floor at our wedding was PACKED the entire night. He knew exactly the vibe we wanted and how to keep the energy up all night.
Best Wedding I've ever been to!" Something you might hear from someone who has had a limited times attending a wedding - But, imagine coming back from your wedding pics and being showered by that phrase! First Verse productions continued to impress as each hour pressed on! The photo booth , operated by Nicki was fun and a great distraction away from the wedding party's absence - we HIGHLY recommend the photo guestbook option!
Chris, our fabulous DJ - was energetic, entertaining and VERY intuitive on the crowd's vibe - keeping the dance floor packed! Tony, the owner, made this an easy experience! We highly praise everything from start to finish! - BEST WEDDING EVER!!!

Highly recommend DJ Tony Dub and his crew!! He was very responsive and easy to work with. He made the whole process simple and stress free. I loved how interactive with the guests he was and got everyone on the dance floor. Music selection was perfect!
ABSOLUTELY loved First Verse Productions. They did exactly what I envisioned for my wedding. I would recommend them to anyone. They are also just all around great people. Very kind and respectful. Just wanted to make it a special day for us. They went above and beyond and I can’t thank them enough!!
From beginning to end, everything was absolutely amazing! Customer service and clear communication are key to me and First Verse provided this beyond a doubt. From the start I knew what services were going to be provided, the amounts due and when, and what was expected of me ! The photo booth used was absolutely amazing and the best investment I made! If you’re on the fence about if it’s worth it….. ITS WORTH IT! It really brought everything to life! You can’t go wrong choosing First Verse! No matter how small or big your event is, don’t go about it without choosing one of their services provided!!
The whole process of finding a DJ and choosing First Verse Productions was a breeze! They were so accommodating throughout the whole process. They help to throw a GREAT party and are so much fun!
First verse did an amazing job at our wedding! Our DJ was Flow Eazy, and she could not have been more perfect! She got everyone at our reception on the dance floor, and guests from our wedding keep telling me what a good time they had! I will be recommending her to everyone I know!
Had the best experience with First Verse for our wedding! They had musical/audio services at both our ceremony and reception, as well as an awesome photo booth option for our reception. The communication was incredible, the booking process was so informative and easy, and their professionalism was unmatched. They went above and beyond for us on before our wedding AND on the day of- making everything so easy and enjoyable. DJ Jazmine was a great time during the reception and did an awesome job of matching the musical vibe we requested as well. I would hire them all over again!
First Verse Productions was the REAL DEAL when it comes to a DJ. From booking to clean up, it was truly a flawless execution. My night was stress free! If you have the chance to upgrade your package, I would be sure to do it. A sleek and classic look goes a long way. People are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor and that is all thanks to First Verse Productions!

Thanks for the kind work Jamiah! We had a great time with you and Chris and family! I absolutely loved it. Thanks for choosing us and trusting us with your special day!
DJ Tony and his wife, Racene are phenomenal. The care and attention to detail throughout every single stage of my wedding helped me remain calm. Their friendly demeanor and professionalism shined through and everyone asked who was this crew and why haven’t they heard about them sooner. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the musical selections and the photo booth. Y’all made our wedding a success and we can’t wait to think of a way to use y’all again! Don’t hesitate to use them! We promise you won’t regret it!
Happy, energetic, personable, professional, great guy! Fantastic DJ!!
Okay friends listen up!
First Verse Productions and more specifically DJ Tony is the man, the myth, the legend!
We booked first verse productions well in advance for our wedding and throughout the entire wedding planning process they worked hand in hand with us to deliver the best time possible. He listened to our needs, wants and our definitely do not wants and delivered over 1000% day of! People were getting his cards and asking me for his info long after the wedding was over.
If you are looking for a DJ for ANY event this is the company to be with!!! Thank you First Verse Productions and DJ Tony for giving us the best night of our lives!!
PS- book the photo booth too! It was a HUGE hit.

Thanks so much Denise! It was a pleasure working with you as well! We made a great team and our couple was obviously very happy with our performance. Thanks so much!
I wanted so desperately to give a good review, I really did. Unfortunately, I just can’t. I’m saddened, heartbroken, and disappointed by my experience. The only saving grace is a full refund. Tony was booked well over a year ago for my daughter’s wedding. Her and I had witnessed their energy level at the local bridal show and just loved their energy and excitement. I had researched other DJ’s and they just didn’t come close. DJ Tony was our requested DJ, sadly a few weeks prior to the event he asked if we would be willing to have one of the other DJ’s play, so that he could go to a family function. My daughter was sad, but much like me, we value family and accepted Tony’s replacement (Kris)
So, we had our consultation (by phone) made sure all songs, details hashed out, and Tony assured us that he would pass the info to Kris.
Well, wedding day comes, I have a moment between pictures to see it’s 4:04pm and no DJ. Immediately get on the phone, and so does my wedding coordinator, to find out where the DJ is. After 30 minutes, because I had to pass it to my coordinator to deal with, as I was back to getting pictures done, Tony had assured her that a replacement is coming, but he had to go home, change, get the equipment, and then set up. In other words, the ceremony that was supposed to start at 5, would be starting late. Nope, that’s not acceptable for me. So, I spoke with Tony, told him I will use a cell phone for the ceremony music, and then go from there. I was upset and frustrated. Two things I shouldn’t feel at my daughter’s wedding.
So after the ceremony, DJ gets there and starts setting up. The cocktail hour lasted longer so that he could finish setting up, as I was told by the wedding coordinator, because I asked what the delay was because people were getting hungry and asking me. Only a handful of the songs I asked to have played at dinner were played. Then music that was not to be played till after 9pm, was played well before then. My mother finally had enough of the music at 7:46pm and left earlier than originally expected. Song choices that I gave specific links for, were not played. The couple’s first dance song was one of them, the version they practiced their first dance for, was not the version played. Finally at 9:35, I called it quits and told him, to pack it up and call it a night.
Later found out it wasn’t Kris’s fault. He tried to salvage a sinking ship. He felt horrible when the mother/daughter dance was given away to the groom/mother of groom, and he tried to play a song comparable. That mix up was not his fault. The wedding coordinator had it on her schedule because I had that printed before we spoke to Tony about no mother/son dance.
Tony didn’t give, nor offer explanation to me for the reason Kris was late, but I know why, and again not Kris’s fault at all. Apparently the event was never put on the schedule and Kris was not given the information ahead of time. Mind you, I booked him and paid the deposit on July 22, 2019, for a wedding on October 20, 2020!
Again, the only saving grace is my full refund.
In closing, I wouldn’t recommend them to my friends and family, nor would I be able to trust Tony again, but if you take a chance on them, hopefully you will have a much better experience.

Heather, as I'm sure you are aware, I'm deeply regretful of your experience and appreciate your feedback. We have NEVER had a situation like this in the 10 years of us doing business and several hundred weddings and events we have booked, but ...
it did happen on our watch. That's why we didn't, and still will not take the route of placing blame and pointing fingers when we discussing this unfortunate situation with you as our customer. Although based on the details you left here whatever Kris might have told you was not accurate, we still take ownership of the fact that it happened when you trusted First Verse on your daughters wedding. For that reason, we gave you a full refund even after having Kris show up to perform. I know what it feels like for someone to let me down and not take ownership of their actions. I will not do that to you. We have all fallen short of expectations at some point in life so please accept my most sincerest apologies. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. This situation has taught us a lot and we have introduced even greater and more extensive processes and procedures to ensure that it will not EVER happen again.
I loved First Verse Productions very much. The DJ was perfect, played every single song I wanted to hear, was there on time, available for any questions I had before hand and just all around amazing. He was the perfect MC. They also provided their own photo booth which was the biggest hit of the night! I would use them again and again for every event.
