Choosing Caleb as our DJ was one of the best decisions my wife and I made while planning our wedding. He is by far the best DJ I’ve ever come across. He was friendly, professional, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. But the main reason I recommend him so strongly is because he absolutely nailed the music at both the reception and cocktail hour.
We met with Caleb in the weeks leading up to our wedding to discuss music and day-of logistics. My wife and I preferred to meet in person (rather than a Zoom call) and Caleb was completely fine with that. We had a great meeting and were delighted he was so easy to work with. In addition, whenever we called or texted with questions he responded quickly and clearly.
A moment I’ll never forget from our wedding day was arriving at the cocktail hour and feeling like the music and vibe were perfect. The volume was at just the right level and the song that was playing was one of my wife’s favorites. Caleb even approached us briefly to ask if we needed anything.
When the reception began he made sure everything ran smoothly. He did an A+ job giving announcements and managing the event. Another thing we were impressed by is that Caleb found each of the people who were about to give speeches to prep them and ask if they needed anything. After the wedding each of these people commented on how helpful this was.
And last but not least, where Caleb shines brightest is making the dance floor a blast. His best skill of all is knowing which songs to play at which moments. He kept everybody out there til the end of the night. He played an awesome line up of songs during the last hour and it felt like everyone was having a great time and singing at the top of their lungs. It was very memorable.
When the reception ended several guests commented on how great the DJ was. One of my friends texted, “best dancing and DJ of any wedding I’ve ever been to.” We are very grateful he helped make our reception such a great time and we’re confident he’ll do a great job for your event as well.

Owner
Hello my name is Caleb, and I own Generation Y Entertainment! I am a USMC vet, I like to dance and beatbox, and I'm a UNF graduate with a bachelors in Political Science. I started DJ'ing as a hobby in 2011 when I got out of the Marine Corps. I officially started this biz with my beautiful wife Charlee in 2014, and to date I've worked well over 400 events. Our goal was to create a company that is a dignified, with a stylish DJ option for couples who don't want their DJ embarrassing them on their big day and to hopefully raise the standard for the entire industry as a whole.

Caleb was exceptional! Beyond exceptional. He absolutely shut the dance floor down at our wedding in the best way possible! He knows exactly how to move the crowd, get them up off ...
the seats and on the dance floor! Not one person at our wedding was sitting down; they were all up dancing all night long. My guests raved about the music and Caleb all night. He also has the coolest and sleekest DJ set up I’ve ever seen. It’s so sleek, that he really can blend well in any reception environment! He threw the best wedding reception I’ve ever been to! Caleb is not only full of fun and has an extensive music knowledge base, he’s very kind, approachable, honest, high integrity and so accommodating! He took the time to get to know my husband and me and asked engaging and thoughtful questions. So as he MC’d through the night, he was able to speak from the heart and with genuine words and emotions about our family and marriage. He was excellent at keeping the night going, moving the crowd in the perfect direction, helping out the bridal party behind the scenes on where to stand and when to come up and make the speech or where to stand when they entered the reception. The night was flawless. The DJ is a HUGE part, if not the heart beat of the reception, and Caleb is the gentleman any bride and groom would want and be lucky to have for the job. His professionalism, kindness, genuine care for me and my husband and our guests is truly not like any other DJ you will find. He listened to our likes and dislikes and you can trust he will make your night magical. Caleb is so detailed and cares so much about how the reception is executed; you can really relax and trust he will go above and beyond to produce an incredible and unforgettable night. I cannot praise him enough. Thank you Caleb for all your hard work and for blessing us with the best party we’ve ever been to and memories to last a lifetime. We are so grateful for you! May God bless you and your family.

Wow! This review will probably go down as the most thoughtful and kind hearted review that...
I have ever received. I almost got emotional when I read it. It is so clear that you wanted to share your love of my services but I assure you that the pleasure was all mine! From day one, I knew it was a perfect fit and it was so clear how crazy you both were for each other. Not to mention your faith in Jesus which was so clear in our conversations. I had to compliment your parents when I met them! I wish you both a fruitful, Jesus centered marriage with loads of beautiful little Norwood babies. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me play a little part in your lives!

On the wedding day, he absolutely brought the energy, keeping the energy high, the dance floor packed, and the entire night flowing seamlessly.

Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had, and a huge part of that was because of him. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, personable, and knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, look no further.

leb absolutely delivered. The feedback from our guests and family only reinforced how memorable and fun the experience was.
From the very beginning, Caleb was professional, intentional, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. He guided us through key decisions when we needed it, which made the planning process feel seamless and stress-free. What truly sets him apart is his presence on the mic—he knows exactly when to step in, keep things moving, and bring the focus back to the moments that matter most.
The entire event flowed effortlessly. There were no awkward pauses or disruptions—just smooth transitions that kept the energy alive all night. His equipment is also top-tier, which made a huge difference, especially during the ceremony. Clear, high-quality audio is something you don’t fully appreciate until you have it—and it plays such an important role not only for your guests, but for your video and lasting memories.
At one point during the night, I remember looking over at Caleb while everyone was on the dance floor—he was completely locked in and absolutely crushing it. His passion and dedication are undeniable.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your entire wedding experience, Caleb is it. We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our day unforgettable.

I would highly recommend Caleb and the Generation Y team for any wedding or event! Caleb describes himself as a “non-cheesy” DJ and this was definitely our experience working with ...
him! From the very beginning he took the time to get to know us as a couple and helped us personalize parts of the reception based on our interests! He is very professional, approachable, organized, and detail-oriented so we were very confident he would keep the party going all night long. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and was very invested in helping make our day special. He did an excellent job introducing our bridal party and announcing all the activities like speeches, parent dances, and anniversary dance in a very natural way during the reception. He has a great taste in music and really took the time to understand the type of music we wanted to be played during the reception for both ourselves and our guests. As a result he kept the dance floor packed all night and our guests of all ages were raving about how much they enjoyed the music!! He also had a great sense of timing for when to play certain types of songs. For example, we had “Country Roads” on our must-play list and Caleb decided to play it towards the end of the night. It brought all our guests together singing along with their arms around each other and created one of the most wholesome moments of the night. It also set up the final song perfectly! Since my husband and I are both Clemson alumni and we had a lot of our Clemson friends in attendance, we planned for the last song to be Tiger Rag which Caleb went out of his way to make sure he could play for us. Throughout the whole process Caleb genuinely cared about our day and worked hard to ensure that our wedding sounded exactly like we dreamed it would. We are so grateful to Caleb for helping us throw such an amazing party and create memories that will last a lifetime with all our family and friends!!

There are nothing but great things to say about GYE/Caleb. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience to work with him.
One of our top priorities when starting wedding p...
lanning was to find a DJ who would set the tone for the party and from our first call we could tell Caleb was the guy. He has a very collaborative approach when it comes to music and worked with us to find a right balance of the vibe we wanted for our party. Not only that, he gave great advice and direction when it came to the overall flow of events and timeline of the ceremony and reception. We felt confident leaning into his expertise. He made sure everything from the ceremony to the toasts, dinner, dances, etc. flowed seamlessly.
We had a large crowd (160+) and there was not one moment the dance floor wasn't packed. We gave Caleb a wide range of music styles - from oldies to club hits, reggaeton, salsa, pop punk and more - and he balanced the party perfectly and always kept the energy up.
Lastly, he is just a lovely person to work with and we could tell he truly cared about making sure we had the best experience on our wedding day. We could not recommend him enough!

My husband and I got married in August and I truly don't even know where to even begin with expressing how much I recommend Generation Y Entertainment. Caleb, was genuinely the MVP...
of our wedding day. He played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and each moment was so perfect. He was flexible, incredibly talented, so extremely kind, patient, and such a fun and cool human being. My husband and I enjoyed working with him so much that right before our exit, we told him that when we are back in town, we wanted to get dinner with him and his wife LOL! We wholeheartedly were going to miss our interactions and didn't want to part ways. His talent in song selection and being a DJ is out of this world. He works so diligently to curate the perfect vibes for your day. He sends over such a detailed google doc and asks so many great and important questions before your day to ensure the music will be spot on. During our last call in preparation for the big day, I was mentioning a funny story about how on my bachelorette, we played "What's Up?" by The 4 Non Blondes about 500 times, since that is my favorite song. I was expressing to Caleb how it was the theme song of my whole bachelorette trip. Fast forward to our wedding reception and he queued all my bridesmaids to the center of the circle and played that song so I could enjoy it once more with not only all of my girls, but my husband. He played it at the perfect time and I think you could see my smile from 1,000 yards away! It was such a highlight of the reception and it shows how much he listens and cares about all of his brides & grooms. My husband and I STILL have guests who rave about how that was the "best reception DJ they have ever experienced" and what a blast we all had dancing together. I can promise you, without a shadow of a doubt, that if you are looking for the perfect DJ, Caleb & Generation Y Entertainment are the way to go. 10000/10 would recommend!

I know how important a DJ is to the overall wedding experience. Everyone I spoke with recommended Caleb and Generation Y Entertainment. From our first encounter to the actual wedding day, he was professional, thorough, detail-oriented and had great ideas and suggestions to help us plan the day. If we had questions or needed guidance with picking certain songs, he was always available and prompt with returning emails. The ceremony music, sound and microphones worked beautifully. During the reception, he was good at reading the room and kept everyone dancing all night. Everyone had a blast!

Generation Y Entertainment, specifically Caleb, made our wedding awesome!! They were extremely professional since day 1 and made us feel like we were in the best hands when it came...
to one of the most important elements of our big day- the music. GYE provided us with an information sheet well in advance to fill out with every single detail we possibly needed to think about for the wedding. It was a great system to use and helped a lot when it came to brainstorming our vibe and ironing out the details. Caleb’s setup was chic and low profile which matched the venue well. He came nicely dressed which we appreciated as well. He nailed our ceremony lighting, music, and sound system, transferred to a smooth cocktail hour, then helped keep our reception alive! He followed our wishes to a tee and was not a cheesy DJ 🙂 Having someone keep our timeline going and making it look easy was amazing. He also had a lot of suggestions for music if you did not know exactly what you were looking for. Would definitely have Caleb back if we had to do it all over again!

What a great idea! Both of your family and friends were so accommodating! Especially Momma Cindy and her pregame Hawaiian Roll sandwiches she brought out when I got there. Thanks again!

s because of his music. Music can make or break the dance floor and we were thrilled with Caleb's delivery. From the intro meeting to the final meeting before the event, he was very professional, listened to all of our requests, and was very organized throughout the whole process.

floor was NEVER empty. We have had multiple friends and family members reach out over the last few weeks to compliment him and the atmosphere for the dance floor! Song after song he crushed it. Throughout the night he stayed in great communication with me and my planners, ensuring things went smoothly. I would 100% recommend Gen Y to anyone hosting a large event in the future!

Caleb was our DJ for our vow renewal and reception in October 2023 at The White Room and I cannot rave enough about how amazing he was!! From our initial consultation that we had ...
before hiring him to the very last song he played at our reception he went above and beyond. We had him for the entirety of our day including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and he was on point throughout the entire night. We have already received so many complements about how amazing he was and I am sure we will have many more of these complements to come!! Caleb was amazing at working with you on what your vision was for your wedding in regards to music selection and making that a reality. He had all of the guests on the dance floor the entire night and there was NEVER a dull moment or lapse. Even when it began to sprinkle a little bit he was amazing at ensuring they party continued while he and the white room coordinated if we could continue outside and even improvised by using covers over his equipment to ensure that the party went on. He was amazing at helping layout the flow of the night and ensuring all transitions went smoothly. I can honestly say that throughout the day I had no stress due to the amazing work of Caleb and all of my vendors!! THANK YOU CALEB!!

From the start, the whole process was more than I can type in this review. I was very overwhelmed when it came to selecting vendors. When I first talked to Caleb on the phone he checked all my boxes and put all my fears behind me. I was able to work on a Google Doc with him throughout the whole engagement, selecting and reselecting songs and order of events. He really didn't need to be told what to do, but the type A bride I was, I gave him a very detailed explanation of when to stay what, and when to play each song and for how long.
Never once did I even THINK about this Google Doc the day of my wedding because Caleb was always 3 steps ahead of me. I felt like he was part of the wedding party, he was everywhere I needed him to be. I would go ask him to do something I had just thought of and before I could get back to my groom, it was already happening ! It was like magic, I don't know how to explain it.
Part of his service that really hooked me was the fact that everyone with speaking parts were going to be mic up. This was huge. How many weddings have you gone to and you couldn't hear anything? Not our wedding!
The compliments are still coming in about how well that night flowed so smoothly! Caleb, you will forever have our business and there will not be another DJ in town like you.
If you have made it this far, do yourself a favor and book with Caleb now. It will be the best dollars you spend on your special day, I promise you!

bad taste in music to get the crowd on the dance floor. Caleb knew exactly what he was doing! We gave him some suggestions with some songs and he ran with it. All of our guests still talk about how wonderful he was!! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! He also helped us with the timeline of our reception and had the best suggestions! He made sure there was no "awkward moments" during the reception and it made the night go by so smoothly for us. He is the best!!

nicated so well while we were trying to decide which DJ to book. After we booked, he was transparent and followed through on all of our responsibilities (filling out our questionnaire) and when we would have a zoom/FaceTime chat. He was so nice and professional on our FaceTime call.
I didn’t want any obnoxious entertainment during our reception and he was absolutely perfect for my vision. The song choices he chose were spot on for our friends and family. Caleb came to ask myself and my husband a few questions during the reception- we never felt bothered or annoyed. (And- I was so glad he ran the questions by us.)
He had all of the needed equipment for our ceremony/cocktail hour/reception-fantastic lighting, wireless mic and lapel mics.
So many of our guests continue to tell us how amazing our DJ was. I would absolutely recommend Caleb!!!

f us and after attending a lot of weddings we were definitely picky about our DJ. The 5 star reviews say it all. From the start Caleb was nothing but friendly, accommodating and open to all of our music interests. He had two facetime meetings with us which were so helpful and he helped to create our timeline for our wedding day. He was very organized and created a google doc so that we could keep track of our timeline and add our must play music for our day. My husband and I are very into pop punk and Caleb stepped up to the plate to give us the best punk concert yet! He was extremely professional and kind to all of our guests and we heard nothing but great things about him by our friends and family. I HIGHLY recommend GYE. Caleb made our wedding day unforgettable.

g which was a well coordinated timeline, funny and lighthearted MC’ing throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, and nonstop lip-sync worthy, head banging, fist-pumping songs that were a mix of throwback r&b, angsty punk, and EDM songs that were nostalgic for all of the young millennials in the room. From the first call to after the wedding was done and over with, we felt like he and his team truly CARED about us and everything we wanted for our big day. We had almost every single guest tell us that our DJ was amazing. This was evident when we looked around and saw everyone screaming the lyrics to Mr Brightside, followed by Caleb himself showing everyone how to hit the dougie. He was able to engage everyone on the dance floor without playing your typical wedding songs like the electric slide, the cha cha slide, or the Cupid shuffle (not that there’s anything wrong with that, we just personally wanted to hear songs that we grew up with and loved, and he curated a playlist that fit us and all of our wedding guest perfectly). Having an experienced and FUN, non-cheesy DJ is critical for your wedding day, and I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re a Gen Z / millennial who wants to have a memorable dance party, book Generation Y Entertainment NOW or you’ll regret it.

Mary + Cohen! Wow! Where do I start? You guys were such an incredible couple to work with!...
I could tell from our first meeting how in love you were and ready you were to party your faces off at your wedding. It is always amazing to be able to play music that I consider my favs! It brought back great memories doing the dougie and the jerk with you guys! "Every Millennials Dream Dance Party" was a great touch! Thanks again guys!

Hiring Generation Y was truly THE BEST decision we ever made. I wish I could give Caleb & team a higher rating than just 5 stars. Let me start from the beginning, with all of our e...
mails & phone calls - Caleb was not only the most professional person I've ever met, but he was funny and genuinely interested in us and our wedding. Caleb was EXCITED for us, to celebrate with us and that alone stood out to us as a differentiator. He wanted to truly understand our likes and dislikes, and he took the most care with the smallest details - things like making sure he pronounced all names correctly, both for us and our bridal party! As someone who has always had her name mispronounced, this detail was something that showed us just how exceptional Caleb was. For the wedding itself, Caleb was a superstar; every single one of our guests told us how enjoyable the music was and how much FUN they had. The way we had our flow of events for the reception, there were 3 hours straight for dancing after dinner, and Caleb played such a perfect playlist that nobody left the dance floor the entire time. In the words of our friends, the song list was "FIRE". Caleb was professional, respectful and downright fun to be around; we felt like we had both a vendor and a friend at our wedding, and we're just so appreciative of the relationship we formed, that helped make our wedding reception the most amazing evening.

d a little about how the reception would flow since we were now going to have fewer people but Caleb kept the party going till the last minute. He got EVERYONE out on the dance floor, everyone from 5 years old to 92 years old. He also may have incited a dance off, during which my new husband did "the worm". His expert direction avoided any awkward moments while people wondered what the next thing was... Our venue was fabulous, the vendors were amazing but Generation Y made this party the absolute best day ever.

I am so glad I went with this vendor! I cannot speak highly enough about GenerationY and their DJ services at my wedding. Grayson exceeded all expectations I had and went above and...
beyond putting a personal touch on his services during our wedding. The little details like playing a special song during our first look, to giving our parents MOH and best man a heads up about when they were up for dances or toasts, and to making sure we were having a good time and had a drink in our hands. My brother who used to be a DJ said he would never go that far out of the way giving a heads up to guests and would just make the announcement calling on the mic whoever was needed. My husband at first even thought he worked at the wedding venue from how much Grayson was involved and made an impact. Do yourself a favor and hire these people!

s so awesome with his details. Then, a month before our wedding we met again. Grayson had sent a GoogleDoc to fill out that had all the information needed for our ceremony and reception with ideas for songs as well. They were flexible when I did not think about timing and needed to add an hour. The day of Grayson was on time and dealt with the insane heat while setting up. Everyone said they could hear the ceremony so clear. Grayson was so awesome he even moved the dance floor to outside the barn because it was so hot in the barn. He was very professional but was also down to have a great time with us! I cannot recommend Generation Y Entertainment enough! If you are getting married in the St. Augustine area hire them-seriously you won’t regret it and they will give the best ceremony and reception!!!
