High Tone Entertainment

High Tone entertainment was a pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, working with Josh Ray was so easy. He knows the wedding business, anticipated needs and helped prepare us the whole way. They are easy to work with! There is a portal where you can add songs you want/don't want played, can create your own playlist or leave it up to your assigned DJ. I also believe their pricing to be more than fair! Our assigned DJ, Nik Lizcano touched base with us leading up to the wedding. He was such a good resource and very thorough on our final details call. We have nothing but great things to say for High Tone & Nik. Thank you for making our wedding day great!

Nik exceeded expectations and kept every person on the dance floor until the very end!! He helped cut a song for the father/daughter dance and the song cuts throughout the entire night were flawless and the crowd loved them! Leading up to the wedding Nik stayed in touch with the timeline as well as listened to what I wanted or needed from him. Truly a professional and made me feel relaxed throughout the planning and let me party all night long at the wedding

DJ Jacob was absolutely incredible! He reached out before our wedding on June 9th, 2023 to touch base about what our needs were for the night. He went over timeline and specific songs for the wedding. He had everyone on the dance floor!

High Tone Entertainment was amazing! They are very organized. They have a portal that helps you create your preferences so you can personalize your music tastes. Jacob was our DJ and did a wonderful job. He was communicative and responsive in the planning stages. On the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor going all night. I highly recommend them for your wedding!

We had Nik for our wedding and he did such a good job! We had uplighting for our venue and it was beautifully placed. The ceremony went off without a hitch. For the ceremony- Nik had the perfect length for all the songs. He knew when to change the vibe, had fit in all of our requests, and made sure to keep songs playing full length if we were all loving the song. The entire night the dance floor was almost always full. We had so many compliments on the music. Thanks Nik!!

Josh was amazing! He was an incredible help planning the wedding, recommending other vendors, and was a ROCKSTAR during the reception. He and his staff do an excellent job and I highly recommend them!

High Tone Entertainment was very easy to work with! Joey the DJ was the absolute BEST!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for future weddings!! Hannah & Noah Hawkins

High Tone was absolutely amazing for my wedding this fall. Josh Ray was very responsive, helpful, and made everything absolutely perfect as far as music and sound for the ceremony and reception, lighting, the photo booth, and making announcements and keeping the vibes of the whole night at a 10 at all times. Josh made sure to go over our song choices and pronunciation of names with us before the wedding day and helped make the entire planning process and wedding day itself go very smoothly. I highly highly recommend booking High Tone for your events!!!!

High Tone Entertainment came HIGHLY recommended by our wedding venue and planning team, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. From the first phone call with Josh, we knew we had made the right choice. Brandon was our DJ, and our wedding guests absolutely loved him! He was so much fun and is ridiculously good at his job. He did an incredible job of reading the room and keeping the dance floor going. From the moment the music started, the dance floor never slowed down. The planning process was easy and stress free. If you’re looking for a DJ, look no further. High Tone is the best in the business!

We had Nik DJ our wedding, and he was great!! He was easy to talk to before the event, made sure he knew what we were wanting and expecting, and did just that! The whole night was so much fun, and he was such a big part of that!

Josh at High Tone was a phenomenal DJ at our wedding! He was so helpful to me every step of the way, answering all my questions. He was very professional and created the perfect fun atmosphere for our wedding. Every track was ready to go and played promptly. He really helped everything at our wedding go smoothly and helped make my wedding dreams come true. I would highly recommend! 10/10!

We hired High Tone for our April 2021 wedding at the Cordelle in downtown Nashville. High Tone Entertainment was on the list of preferred vendors for our venue and after the first introductory call with owner Josh, I could see why. Josh went above and beyond throughout the planning process. The High Tone team is friendly, responsive, and true professionals. Their planning portal was so helpful to plan our ceremony and reception. We utilized High Tone's services for our ceremony music, reception music, uplighting, custom monogram, and ceremony livestream. Our DJ for the day was Joey Baggott. Joey was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely friendly and high energy. He took the time to get to know our music taste and exactly what we wanted for the day. DJ Joey was very kind to our friends and families and was excellent at reading the room and selecting the songs. His transitions and announcements were wonderful. I could not recommend High Tone Entertainment and DJ Joey enough - they were absolutely wonderful!

DJ Joey was fantastic!! He was so responsive and went out of his way to come to our rehearsal as well.

If you are looking for an entertainment extraordinaire that is professional, yet personable - look no further than the folks at High Tone Entertainment. We hired Josh and his team back in 2019 for our March 2020 wedding. As the wedding date approached, so did Covid and we were ultimately forced to postpone our nuptials. I was already happy with my decision to hire High Tone, but the way that they handled the entire postponement with such grace, kindness and compassion left me even more convinced that we had made the right choice. Unfortunately as 2020 came and went, we were hit with a LOT of changes… including a venue change 30 days out. This resulted in MANY emails, phone calls and texts back and forth with Josh as we had to literally reconfigure our entire wedding. Josh, once again… the real MVP, worked with us with patience and understanding as we switched out… EVERYTHING. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from other couples this year and vendors who have been less than accommodating and I was SO relieved to find that we had ZERO issues. As our new date in September approached, we entrusted Josh with the music and entertainment for our ceremony, cocktail hour, our reception, the photo booth, uplighting and a live stream of our ceremony. We were able to create a custom photo booth frame that matched our invitations and all our decor, which was SO fun and a wonderful special touch. Josh also handled making sure the lighting in the room was perfect and I am THRILLED we made the decision to add uplighting to our wedding. In typical 2020 fashion, we had a very last minute heartbreaking situation of my sister/maid of honor not being able to make it to the wedding and Josh didn’t hesitate or skip a beat to jump in and arrange to Zoom her in so she could still deliver her speech. It was something I had not even considered until Josh suggested it and I am SO grateful he took the initiative to take action and make this possible for us. I was able to literally sit back and let him coordinate with my sister directly and didn’t have to stress or worry about a THING! On the music side, I can’t sing his praises enough. When it came down to the wire, I was too mentally exhausted to think of songs we wanted to hear at our reception. So instead I gave him the vibe we wanted and said “you’re the professional - I’ll let you do your thing. Roll with it, feel the vibe and keep the dance party going.” Josh DELIVERED. We had the MOST fun and he had all the guests on the dance floor. We had big range of ages in attendance and it was really important to me that the older folks would have just as much fun as the young kids… and they did. Our wedding was over a month ago and I am still getting family and friends telling me how much fun they had and how the DJ was SO GOOD. I typically don’t write reviews, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to let other couples know how fantastic High Tone is. Best advice I can give is this: book them and trust in their ability to do their jobs!

Hire them now! High Tone Entertainment (and Josh specifically) were recommended to me by my wedding venue manager. I lived in a different state so I needed to do all my vendor interviews over the phone, and when I connected with Josh for the interview, we were on the phone for 1.5 hours! I got off the phone and told my fiancé I found the guy and didn't need to look any further. Josh was professional, very responsive, willing to work with my budget and gave suggestions on what could work best for my wedding. I told him one of my wishes for my wedding is that people stayed on the dance floor all night...well I got my wish. My dance floor was packed the entire night, no one wanted to leave it because there were great songs being played one right after the other. I had soooo many compliments on my DJ (Josh) from guests after the wedding! High Tone Entertainment made it so easy for me to make a list of songs I wanted to have played or not played through their portal, it was so helpful! I also was running into an issue with my first dance song being too long, and Josh was kind enough to work his magic and cut a new version for us so our dance wasn't too long, but didn't cut out at a weird point! It was perfect! The photo booth was also a hit! It was so fantastic to have to only deal with 1 company vs 2 in regards to DJ & photo booth. Guests loved it and I was able to get copies of all pictures taken throughout the night. Brendan (the attendant) was also AMAZING! So friendly and patient with guests (especially as the drinks started really flowing as the night went on). Josh (and High Tone) are seriously the best ever and I would very highly recommend them to anyone in need of a DJ! Thank you Josh and High Tone for keeping the energy electric, fun, never ending at my wedding. You truly helped make it the absolute best night!!

Josh and High Tone Entertainment were absolutely fantastic. My husband and I went back and forth on whether we wanted a band or a dj for our wedding. I have been to plenty of weddings that have big bands that set such a fun tone for the reception. Let me be the first to say: NO NEED to spend your budget on a band....High Tone Entertainment was FANTASTIC, so much fun, and so incredibly easy to work with. I was able to set a portal up online, enter songs I wanted/didnt want, and pay all in one place. What I didn't realize before planning a wedding is that without a DJ, you really need someone to do some MC work throughout the night. So, by hiring a DJ, you kinda hit two in one. Josh played our ceremony music, worked with the wedding planner to cue at all the right times. He had a playlist for our cocktail hour. And then he introduced us to our reception and played awesome music, as well as MC'd any directions regarding food service, cake cutting, guest book signing, etc. I did not even realize how helpful a PROFESSIONAL would be for this. Do not just let your best friends date be in charge of the MCing. Additionally, they offer a service to live stream your event. In the midst of covid, this was a necessary add on, and it was so nice to have the technical pieces taken care of so seamlessly. Josh and his team at High Tone are WELL worth it. Truly, and shockingly, my DJ was my most complimented vendor - and I had stellar vendors. Cannot recommend enough.

Josh was recommended by our wedding coordinator, Katie Osborne. He was incredibly professional and made sure everyone had a great time at our wedding. The portal to select songs was very easy to navigate. He even had music from the Bloodsport soundtrack! That alone should give him 5 stars! Thanks for making our night so much fun!

High Tone did an amazing job helping us with our wedding. When the pandemic hit, they were very accommodating about changing dates and then hours of service as we had to adjust to meet Covid restrictions. We added the live streaming service of our ceremony for family and friends who couldn’t attend the wedding just a few days before the wedding and it was so worth it. And even though at the last minute, I wasn’t able to provide as much prep time for the livestream as they had asked for, they were set up and streaming and the ceremony began right on time. Nick did a fantastic job as dj and set just the right tone that I wanted. High Tone truly helped us make our day perfect.

High Tone Entertainment was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding! When Covid started making things messy and we had to drastically change all our plans to keep people safe while still honoring this important event in our lives, Josh Ray jumped into action and started brainstorming ideas. In the end, they were able to provide us with an excellent quality livestream of the event, a Zoom call following the ceremony so that we could see the faces of our friends and family, sanitation stations, as well as great DJ skills. We had a phenomenal experience working with Josh Ray and highly recommend their services!

I'm honestly so surprised by the reviews listed here. Nik Lizcano was our DJ and High Tone was the selected DJ through our Venue - Southall Meadows. Nik and I had been in complete conversation before the wedding with everything laid out including "MUST PLAY SONGS" Let me cut to the chase... he didn't play ANY of them. The whole night was 'generic' wedding/dance music which everyone seemed to enjoy but it wasn't my style.. I didn't feel compelled to the dance floor. When our PHOTOGRAPHER tried to jump in and advise Nik what we wanted to hear... he just ignored her? I'm not sure. There were some other things but really, it's not worth my time. Nik is now the butt of our jokes about messing up the wedding... so thanks for the laughs, I guess.

We hired Josh Ray from High Tone Entertainment for our wedding and we're so glad we did! From the beginning he was incredibly communicative and always quick to initiate and/or respond to phone calls and emails. We also utilized the easy online portal to make the decisions about the night's playlist, and Josh did a fantastic job of blending our indie rock sensibilities with more pop-friendly songs that had everyone, young and old, on the dance floor literally all night long. High Tone was a vendor we barely even had to think about leading up to and during our wedding day because we knew they had it under control with their experience and professionalism. So easy and great to work with!

We hired Josh Ray with High Tone Entertainment to DJ my wedding at ONE at the cannery Ballroom. From the very first time I contacted josh, he was extremely professional and I could tell he was going to be a great vendor to work with. I was not wrong! He was always quick to respond to emails or calls. He had an online portal that was really easy to use for us to select music we wanted at the reception as well as a form to fill out to help him with pronunciations of names, order of events, etc. Josh absolutely MADE our reception. He had the whole dance floor packed and I, as the bride, didn’t want to leave the dance floor all night! I would highly recommend josh ray to anyone!

We booked High Tone Entertainment, at the VERY LAST minute, to provide the music for our daughter's wedding ceremony at the fabulous Allenbrooke Farms (Spring Hill, TN). Josh, from High Tone, was great to work with! He provided ceremony music suggestions & was calm & kind about last minute details. We ended up going with a string duo, violin & cello. I am sad to say I do not know the names of the excellent musicians from High Tone but I can say with certainty that they were wonderful!! They sat off to the side of the ceremony location and unobtrusively provided an incredibly beautiful & lyrical element to the ceremony. They were the ninjas of classical musicians--quietly arrived ahead of time, set up with no fan fair, played the 30 minutes before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for the processional without me (the MOB) ever registering that they were there. I only knew that we had the most amazing string music that magically added the perfect element to the ceremony. Our guests were enthralled with the music and the performers. We had the most professional and lovely experience with Josh and High Tone Entertainment. I cannot recommend this booking agency highly enough!!!!

High Tone is awesome; especially Josh, Joey, and Brandon. They are not the cheapest around but you definitely get what you pay for. We hired High Tone to cover DJ'ing, lighting, the send off, and the iPad photo booth. The guys were super people, people and lots of fun to work with. If we had it to do over, we'd do it the same.

Josh Ray & his team at High Tone Entertainment are rockstars! Josh was super communicative and accommodating (even to silly requests, such as playing "Who Let the Dogs Out" when we brought our dogs into the reception space) and our guests had a blast as a result. I also highly recommend utilizing their string trio - it was such a special touch to our ceremony and not one we will soon forget. Thank you, Josh & team!

Josh was awesome! He helped with lighting and set up which was incredible and he was the life of the party. His energy level was amazing from start to finish, he couldn’t have been nicer or more gracious and was a true pleasure to work with.

High Tone was one of our favorite vendors! The owner, Josh, was incredible to work with & made sure our event was perfect. Joey, our DJ, was just the best! He kept the dance floor packed & everyone had so much fun! We loved working with them & would highly recommend!

High Tone Entertaiment was the most organized, accessible, and accommodating of all of our vendors. We hit a bump in the road and ended up with Cody as our DJ and we were not disappointed. High Tone knows how to make it right. Cody was professional, friendly, and kept the night moving along even with schedule changes due to inclement weather on our day. People were on the dance floor the whole night!! Thank you Cody and Josh for everything!

Our DJ was Josh Ray. He provided phone call and email communication to go over exactly what we wanted in our ceremony & reception music. His experience with providing music to weddings was wonderful and I walked down the stairs exactly as I imagined to "my song." He also did a great job keeping the flow of the morning by letting guests know when special events would take place. We are pleased with Josh's professionalism and affordability.

High Tone Entertainment went above and beyond for our wedding and made it an incredible experience. Our guests never left the dance floor, we had a line at the photo booth and the lighting made all the difference in our pictures! We had people asking for the DJ contact info before we even left the reception!

These guys were great! Josh and Cody had awesome communication and they were easy to work with! The lighting was great and music choices were perfect for the guests! Very professional!! Thanks so much!

Josh was so great to work with! He made our wedding so fun and memorable. He was able to cater to all of our wedding guest request and was so fun at the wedding!

Absolutely amazing! Josh was wonderful to work with. From our first call to go over everything to the night of the wedding, he made sure that everything went perfectly. He kept the party going all night long and was very professional. The dance floor was packed the entire time, which is exactly what we wanted. He even worked with me to do a traditional polish bridal dance that is done in Pittsburgh. Guests are going on and on about how much fun the wedding was, and we cannot thank Josh enough for that. The uplighting that he provided was gorgeous as well.

Wonderful to work with Josh! He was able to make our wedding perfect! We cannot thank Josh enough for pulling our wedding song off of a YouTube clip and making it sound like it was straight off a CD. Great personality and flexible!

We used Hightone Entertainment not only for our reception, but they also ran our music during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were super flexible in adding these services to our contract and it was not that much extra. They also provided some beautiful uplights for our ceremony and reception that really added some pizzaz to the wedding. I had many compliments on the DJ's music selection, as he played music that made the entire crowd dance. We had an age range of 3 to 95 years old, so he really had to cover a wide variety of tastes. My only regret is that the DJ played my "must play" list in the order that I had given it to him, so some of my favorite songs did not make it into the rotation before the night had to end. If I'd known that this was going to happen, I would have rearranged my list. Lastly, my father thought the DJ self promoted a bit too much, but I hardly noticed it. To top it all off, they were much more affordable for 4 hours of reception music than many of the other companies in the area, yet they did a top notch job.

Most amazing DJ EVER! I adore Josh. He owns the company and we were lucky enough to get him to be our DJ as well (he has others on staff). He was very personable and was extremely patient with me (I am super OCD). He also provided our up-lighting and a string trio for the ceremony. This is a very well-run business and I have already referred three other people to him because I know he will take care of them.
