Daniel added a great element to our wedding!! Not only did he DJ the dance party after dinner but provided live piano and vocals during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He has a fantastic voice and was fun to have at the wedding. Daniel was helpful in live music song selection as we just wanted a fun vibe but weren't quite sure what to do. Having the combination of live music with a DJ was a perfect fit for our wedding vision and budget.
Josh was great throughout our wedding planning process! Super accessible, friendly, fun to work with, and accommodating of our requests, both during planning and during the reception itself. We had a blasts and our family and friends were loved his DJ set and performance. Josh rocks!
Josh was a 10/10 experience! if I could refer him to all of my friends I would. He was attentive, communicative, and professional in all the best ways to give us the absolute party of a lifetime.
Josh is a must hire!! Not only was his voice of an angels when he did his acoustic set at my wedding rehearsal dinner, but his warm and bubbly personality made me feel as though I had known him for years. I was so impressed by him, his professionalism and his even his willingness to go above and beyond to help us MC our speeches too. Truly, such a phenomenal person and singer. You’d regret not him!
Josh was absolutely amazing as our DJ and musician at our wedding! From the very beginning, his communication and professionalism were top-notch. He handled everything seamlessly, ensuring that all three areas of our venue had incredible sound. He also provided the mics we needed for speeches, and everything was set up perfectly.
During cocktail hour, Josh showcased his talent by singing and playing guitar. His voice was wonderful, and his song selection was incredible—he had a great variety for us to choose from, and every guest loved it.
Later that night, Josh completely transformed into the ultimate DJ. He got the party going, kept the energy high, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He was definitely one of the major highlights of our wedding, and we can't thank him enough for being such an important part of our day. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!
If you're looking for a DJ and musician who will go above and beyond, Josh is your guy!
I found Josh through one of my best friends who had him at her wedding in May of 2023. At her wedding, I was immediately blown away and knew that I was going to reach out to him for mine and my husband's wedding. Our guests absolutely LOVED Josh!!!! He is so talented!!! I loved the versatility of being able to have live music during our dinner and a DJ later on in the night. He also said a few words prior to our speeches to get everyone's attention and it was amazing how he had all of our guests very engaged!!!
Josh and specifically Sheridan were INCREDIBLE to work with. The communication was solid, the price point was a steal, and I cannot rave enough about how professional the whole experience was. We wanted a wedding DJ, but we got so much more than that! Thank you so much for everything, you truly made the day special. Book them, you WILL NOT regret it!
I booked Luke Bellet through Josh Klaus Music. Luke is talented and professional! He was open to learning new songs to fit our vision and very communicative in the planning process. We got a lot of compliments on the music at our wedding. He went above and beyond our expectations. We definitely recommend him for weddings and other social gatherings.
We had been a a previous wedding where Josh had played, and loved him. He was the first vendor we booked, and he did not disappoint!
His singing and guitar playing are perfect for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and he was an amazing DJ for the dance floor! We were out there all night!
Many of our guests have told us since the wedding that the DJ incredible and really made the night.
Thanks Josh!!
Josh was a joy to have at our wedding ceremony and reception! He made sure to get all the details regarding our song choices and he was so easy to organize with - arrived on time and brought all the necessary equipment. Our guests also loved him! I will always highly recommend him for any event!
If you are looking for a live wedding singer, a wedding DJ, or even better BOTH... look no further than Josh! Josh sang for our ceremony and DJ'd our reception and both turned out absolutely perfect. Josh has the voice of an angel and was a perfect addition to our ceremony. He is willing to learn songs that aren't on his song list and it made our ceremony all the more special. When people say music can make or break the reception, they mean it! Without Josh, our reception would've been dull. He genuinely kept everyone dancing all night! We highly recommend that you hire Josh for all of your wedding music needs, he will not disappoint you or your guests!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Daniel Fears with Josh Klaus Music as our wedding musician, and he truly made our special day unforgettable. From the ceremony to the reception and into the dance floor, Daniel's musical talent and professionalism shone through every moment.
Daniel's live performance during our ceremony was nothing short of magical. He played a beautiful selection of songs on piano that perfectly matched the mood and setting, adding a deeply personal touch to the most important part of our day. He was able to play a few song we had selected specifically for the ceremony, but then filled the rest of the time with excellent pairings. Our guests were moved by his performance, and many complimented us on the beautiful music.
During the reception, Daniel continued to impress us and our guests with his live music. His ability to transition from soft, background tunes during dinner to more upbeat tracks as the night progressed was seamless. He understood the vibe of the crowd perfectly and created a wonderful atmosphere that kept everyone engaged and entertained.
When it was time to hit the dance floor, Daniel switched gears and proved himself to be a great DJ. He had an excellent mix of songs that kept everyone, from the young to the old, dancing all night long. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and he knew how to keep the party going.
Throughout the entire process, Daniel was extremely professional and a joy to work with. He took the time to understand our musical tastes and preferences and was very accommodating to our requests. His dedication to ensuring that our wedding music was perfect was evident in every interaction we had with him.
Daniel's contribution to our wedding was invaluable, and we couldn't have asked for a better musician to be a part of our day. His talent, professionalism, and ability to create a joyful and memorable experience for us and our guests were beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Daniel and Josh Klaus Music to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding musician who can do it all!
Thank you, Daniel, for making our wedding day so incredibly special!
We cannot recommend Josh Klaus (+ The Weekday Band) enough! From coordinating with our wedding planner to making sure our ceremony was mic'd up seamlessly, to amazing singing during cocktail hour, and then band performances during dinner, as well as ending the night with a DJ set- he truly did it all! Our wedding was a dream come true, and he played a huge part in making it so special. What truly sets him apart is his professionalism and attention to detail. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to make it a reality. From curating the perfect playlist to coordinating with our other vendors, he took the stress out of the planning process and ensured everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing our entertainment was and its all thanks to Josh!! We will definitely be reaching out to Josh for any future events we have where we would want amazing live performances.
We booked Josh after he did such a great job at my sister's wedding. He's an incredibly talented vocalist, guitarist, and DJ. He is passionate about what he does and it shows through his performance. He spends time with his clients and really works to personalize the experience. We had multiple guests get his card and request his contact information after the wedding. Highly recommend you consider Josh for your event!
Josh is the perfect choice for your wedding. He is multi- talented and works as an incredible DJ and performer. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about him. Our guests loved him, he played our requested songs beautifully, captured the vibe we wanted, and had all of our guests dancing during the reception. Josh is communicative, professional, and personable. Our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without him.
Josh's selection for 'Best of Weddings 2024' by the Knot is no fluke! We hired him to serenade our ceremony, set the mood during cocktails, and serenade our first dance. Then, seamlessly transitioning to DJ, he kept the dance floor alive! Josh's talent is matched only by his contagious energy. Our guests raved about the unique vibe he curated. He was even willing to learn the song that I walked down the aisle too! Josh is the epitome of wedding entertainment. We wholeheartedly endorse him!
If you're on the hunt for a wedding DJ/musician who will elevate your special day to unforgettable heights, look no further than Josh! From the moment we connected with him, it was evident that we were in for something extraordinary.
Working with Josh was an absolute delight. His infectious positive energy made every interaction a breeze, and his genuine enthusiasm for our vision was amazing. Josh isn't just a vendor; he's a collaborator, always going above and beyond to ensure that every detail is perfect. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests truly set him apart.
And let's talk about talent – Josh is a triple threat! Whether he's behind the turntables, strumming his guitar, or serenading us with his soulful vocals, he mesmerized us and our guests from start to finish. His ability to read the room and curate the perfect playlist kept the dance floor packed all night long.
But it's not just his musical prowess that impressed us; Josh's organizational skills and clear communication throughout the entire planning process were invaluable. From our initial consultation to the final song of the night, he kept us informed and at ease every step of the way.
If you want your big day to be truly unforgettable, trust Josh to make it happen. We couldn't recommend him more highly!
Josh was not only our DJ but he played guitar and sang for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Josh's voice is amazing and everyone commented how they thought we were playing recorded music while they were arriving for the ceremony. He then followed that up by being the life of the party and one of the best DJs we have seen at a wedding! He was great at reading the room and getting everyone on the dance floor. He even got out on the dance floor with everyone! We couldn't have asked for someone better to be a part of our special day and we couldn't recommend him more to someone looking for a DJ/musician.
I dubbed Josh the "dance floor chaos coordinator" because he brought the chaos in the best way! We gave him free reign to play whatever he thought was best and he made sure the dance floor was packed all night. He played acoustic during our cocktail hour which was a hit as well. The guests had great reviews and we had such a great experience with Josh. We cannot thank him enough for helping make our wedding day perfect!
Josh Klaus is by far the best DJ I've ever seen at an event let alone for our wedding. He is an absolute professional, makes sure to respect the client's wishes, and knows how to have an absolute blast. He definitely feels like one of your friends by the end of the night. He killed it.
Josh was the DJ for our wedding. He is INCREDIBLE. He played guitar for our ceremony, dinner, first dance, and private last dance, including learning several songs we requested in under 2 weeks. He’s a great guitarist and singer, so much so that many of our guests thought that some of the songs were recordings.
Our friends couldn’t stop commenting on how awesome our DJ was. Josh has tons of energy, read the room perfectly, kept the party going, interacted with our guests, and seemed like he was having a blast doing it.
I seriously cannot recommend Josh enough for any event.
When attending a wedding 15 years ago, what stuck out to me most and made the wedding so unique was the acoustic live music. Ever since then I had dreamed of having this at my wedding. When I stumbled upon Josh’s social media in search of an acoustic musician I instantly knew he was it! Later to find out not only does he sing but he DJs, and knows how to have a great time. Throughout our engagement we visited Austin from out of town often to see Josh. In this time it only solidified our choice in having him at our wedding. He always captivated the audience and engaged the crowd. Book him now you won’t regret it!!!
This is the DJ you want, I'd book him while you can!
The City of Austin Director of Music recommended him and now we know why. He made the wedding reception/dinner/dancing so much fun with his energy and he has an amazing voice. He ticked all the boxes and does it on his own: Plays music, sings, DJs, MCs, sets up in multiple locations, and just brings amazing energy to the event.
I still have so many people reaching out saying how great he was and if they can get his contact information. He also learned a song for one of our first dances in a couple weeks.
On top of all of this you'd think he'd be a fortune to book, but he is more than reasonable.
Josh is the life of the party! The man sings like an angel and also throws the best dance party once he gets behind his DJ booth. He sang live for the ceremony - including when we walked down the aisle, the cocktail hour, dinner, for our first dance, and for our very last dance of the night. Once the sun set, he got behind the DJ booth and turned up the dance floor. Our guests were IN LOVE with him and could not say enough nice things about him. He made our day so so memorable and so fun.
I really don’t even know where to start or have the words to describe how perfect hiring Josh for our wedding weekend was. I wanted something fun and different for music for our ceremony and after looking at all options I couldn’t get the elegance and calmness of Josh’s voice and music out of my head. I knew I needed him to sing for our ceremony. He was so incredibly easy to work with and took all of our requests and accommodated. He was fun and felt like our biggest fan throughout the weekend! He made us feel like this wasn’t just another wedding for him and he actually was excited to be there and make magic for our day. When planning our rehearsal dinner we were trying to figure out did we just want to make a playlist or have someone there to dj/emcee speeches. We reached out to Josh and he was happy to DJ and emcee for us! It was SO fun to have him there both days. HE REALLY CAN DO IT ALL!!! Highly highly recommend Josh for all your music needs for your events and wedding and I will continue to recommend him for time to come. Thank you so much for being a part of our big weekend!
Josh performed at our wedding on October 8,2023. He was absolutely amazing! He was so sweet and so thoughtful! I truly appreciate having him at our wedding. We have him singing our first wedding dance and it is the most beautiful and special moment of our life. I am so thankful to have found him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you!
-The Moores
Josh was the perfect choice for music entertainment at our wedding! He was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he did not disappoint. Once we listened to his songs, we booked him the next day to perform at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and MC/DJ for the entire night! Josh made the process seamless and is extremely talented. Not only does he have a voice of an angel but he was the life of the party! He knew exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor packed and even got out there himself to show off his moves. Thank goodness our date was available because our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him!
Josh doesn't just perform at your party, he IS the party. Josh was the first vendor we booked for our wedding (technically before we were even engaged) after seeing him at a friend's wedding and just being taken aback by his talent. We were so confident that Josh would make our wedding our best day ever that we didn’t hire any other entertainment for our Big Day and oh, were we right! Josh's diverse skill set made our day the best day ever. He beautifully serenaded us & our guests through our ceremony & cocktail hour, skillfully MC’d our dinner, and then proceeded to bring down the house DJing our dance floor. We asked Josh to make our dance floor a true dance club party and he didn’t just understand the assignment but he went above and beyond to deliver it with the BEST energy we’ve ever experienced at any wedding. We had pretty much all of our 130 guests come up to us during and after the wedding to tell us that Josh was the best wedding entertainment they’ve ever seen, that he was a fantastic singer, that his MCing was on point, that he was amazing,... and the list keeps going. So take this as not just a couple’s review, but of our entire wedding when we say that Josh is absolutely fantastic and you would be so lucky to have you as part of any of your events or celebrations!
Josh was THE PERFECT music vendor for our wedding!! He is so incredibly talented! Live music voice of an angel and a MC/DJ that is the life of the party! We're huge music people that love that sweet balance of live music and a DJ orchestrated rager. Josh can do it all. We were so obsessed with Josh and knew we HAD to have him be a part of our big day so much so that we quite literally chose our wedding date based on Josh's remaining availability. SO SO SO WORTH IT! It was the best day of our lives and we have Josh to thank for single handedly curating an immaculate musical experience. If I could give 1000 stars I would! THANKS SO MUCH JOSH!!
Josh Klaus is the best in the business. Amazing musician, phenomenal MC and delightful human. He exceeded all of our expectations, learned every song we asked him to learn, and was very pleasant to work with every step of the way.
Josh was such an amazing addition to our wedding day. Our guests absolutely raved about him - they loved his live performances and couldn’t stop talking about how great of a DJ he was as well! Our dance floor was literally packed the whole night all thanks to Josh! He was more than willing to learn several songs to play live for us and he executed them exactly how we requested. He has the most amazing voice and I loved being able to have live music throughout the wedding. His communication throughout the planning process was seamless as well. He also did a great job as an emcee and again, just brought the energy to our reception and made it all so fun and memorable for us. We cannot recommend Josh enough!!!!
Josh was a HIT at our wedding! Not only did he learn 2 technically difficult songs for our ceremony, he made sure all of our favorite songs were played at the reception. Everyone couldn't stop saying how fun and talented he was! From his acoustic set during dinner, to his DJ set on the dance floor, everything was incredible. I am so glad we found Josh, music is a huge part of my husband and I's life and Josh was a perfect fit!
If you are looking for an amazing musician and DJ, book Josh Klaus now! We hired Josh for our wedding, and he provided live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, DJ during the reception, and emceed the entire night. He did a phenomenal job and we could not have been happier. We had so many compliments on him at our wedding, and one of guests actually booked him for another event after hearing him at our wedding (we attended that event too and he was amazing!). Communication was great and everything was easy to coordinate. We had a last minute change of venue for the reception due to an A/C issue, and Josh was able to get set up in the new space without a hitch. During the reception, he was so high energy and definitely made our guests have a good time. If we ever have another event that requires music, Josh will be our first call.
Absolutely incredible! Warm and professional and incredibly talented. Would have Josh back 10/10!
We recently hired Josh Klaus to perform at our rehearsal dinner in San Antonio. He came highly recommended, and we now know why. From the initial inquiry, he was responsive and easy to book. He is a professional musician based in Austin who sings and/or plays the guitar and his repertoire is vast so you are sure to find exactly what you want when hiring him. His delightful and enthusiastic presence was more than an integral part of our event and we can’t wait to hire him again. Everyone loved him!
Josh is the best!!We got married on 5.19.23. He was our favorite vendor, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was even still!! He sang and played guitar sets as guests walked in/sat down, during the ceremony, cocktail hour and our first dance. During our first dance he even personalized it by changing a line to align with our story more- how cute!! Then he became a DJ for the reception. He would show us fun line dances and got everyone on the floor!! He was professional, fun, talented and so much more. To me, the vibe of the wedding is truly set by music and he went above and beyond for us
Josh is the man!! We felt so lucky to have Josh provide the music for our wedding. He's a mega talent and was definitely a highlight of the day. He learned multiple songs on the guitar for the ceremony and was a spectacular DJ that kept the dance floor pumping the entire night. Guests were raving about how talented and fun he made the night. I'd highly recommend booking Josh for your wedding or event, he's amazing.
I 100% recommend hiring Josh for you next special event. The first time I heard Josh sing, was at my friends wedding in 2020. I remember sitting in the pew waiting for the ceremony to start just mesmerized by his beautiful singing. Josh is SO talented at what he does, and I just knew I also had to have him at my wedding someday. Fast forward a few years later, once my husband and I got engaged, Josh was one of the first vendors I booked.
I am so grateful he was available, and we had the opportunity to work with him. Not only is he gifted with such an amazing talent, but he is also a great guy to work with. We had a few phone conferences with him to discuss our vision/wants for our wedding, and during our phone calls, it felt like we were talking to a friend that we had known forever. He made us feel so welcomed and even took the time to learn a new song that we requested for our first dance.
We had Josh play/sing before our ceremony, during cocktail hour, and again for our first dance. He made everything so special not only for us, but for our guests too. We've had so many friends and family members compliment his performance and how our wedding was the best wedding they've been to. We definitely couldn't have done it without Josh. If you want someone who is brings the fun energy, as well as romance to your day, then Josh is your guy. He will certainly make your day extra special like he did ours with his musical talents.
Josh did an incredible job performing at our ceremony and cocktail hour! I asked him for a specific song and he performed it so beautifully! He truly has the best setlist for a wedding and is very professional! We also love that we can see Josh play when he performs at public events!
Josh was the absolute perfect choice for our music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All of our guests were very impressed and did not stop complimenting us about Josh the whole night! He was so easy to work with and even played specific songs we had asked him to do. Would recommend him time and time again!
Planner here! I worked with Josh at a wedding in April 2023. Boy, not only are his voice/guitar skills killer, but he is certainly an entertainer! I love that he was able to make an impromptu announcement before the ceremony begin and overall brought forth a fun, calm presence for the beginning of the wedding. I appreciate his communication, the variety of services he provides, and being a stellar vendor! -In Ink Weddings
Josh was AMAZING! I had been told about him by my wedding venue and I'm so glad I listened. He does everything you need and does it extremely well. He sang for the ceremony and cocktail hour (in the June Austin heat) and was an awesome DJ during the reception. He has all the equipment he needs and sets it all up himself. Josh sang our first dance song and it made so special for us. Not only is he a great singer and guitarist but such a sweet person with so much love in his heart. HIRE HIM, you won't regret it.
Booking Josh to perform at our wedding and DJ in the evening really made our wedding day.
In meeting Josh he immediately got who we were as a couple. He suggested some great songs he could play for us at the ceremony and for our first dance. This gave a really personal touch and showed from the off that he really cared that he wanted to make our day special.
His voice is fantastic and he sang for an incredible amount of time, singing hits after hits during the first part of the wedding.
One thing we weren't expecting was the Josh as an MC. He introduced the speeches and gave a few words about us as a couple. We were really not expecting this and his choice of words were as if he had known us for years. In fact some of our friends asked us how long we had been friends with him!
And to top it off, Josh's ability to read the room and get people dancing in his DJ set was fantastic. He was always keen to jump down from his DJ booth to get people dancing and show us his moves. And he was able to read the room choosing songs that would get people back on the dancefloor.
Josh really made our wedding special and we are so glad we booked him. We would book him again, again and again.
tl;dr - Stop looking for other entertainment vendors and just book Josh. Just do it. Hell, book your entire wedding around him - he's worth it!
I found Josh in a roundabout way. I was looking for a signage vendor, and one vendor I was interested in had Josh perform at her own wedding. After looking at a few videos, I was VERY intrigued. I had already reached out to a handful of DJs, but I knew that the combination of acoustic performance + DJ services would be perfect for our wedding. This is also very unique, from what I can tell, and helps bridge the gap between a typical DJ and a full-on band, the latter of which may not be desired for certain reasons, including budgetary ones. Josh responded quickly and after a phone call, we were all set.
He was extremely amenable to our need to reschedule our wedding due to F1 (boo!), which we really appreciated. As wedding time approached, he was very responsive and helpful in terms of both guiding us in making any final entertainment decisions, but also listening to what we were looking for.
On the day of the wedding, from our perspective, everything went perfectly. Josh performed acoustic for our pre- and post-ceremony cocktail hours, as well as for the processional and dinner. He then DJ'd our first dances and the reception. He also provided MC services throughout, and he did so with aplomb. He brings a spectacular energy to the dancefloor, which we loved because we had a more "elder millennial" crowd who needs more liquid courage to get the dance moves going.
I can't tell you how many people complimented Josh to us on the night of the wedding and afterward - he has been, by far, the most reviewed vendor we had. He is also just really nice and really fun, which is important for a wedding team.
SO... just do it! Book Josh! You won't regret it and your wedding will be better for it!
We first heard Josh at a friend's wedding and he was the first vendor we booked! He is so talented and we love how he brings his own style to his songs. Ultimately, Josh was our musician for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and then our DJ for the rest of the evening. We loved working with Josh!!! He easily accommodated our requests and made the musical element of our planning seamless. Throughout our reception, our guests were raving about Josh and we agree!
Josh is amazing and the perfect performer/DJ for your wedding. He also gave a little toast before our dads gave their toast at the wedding and it was so cute. So many people came up to me and told me how amazing he was. He also played all the songs we wanted him to and none of the ones we didn't want! The cherry on top was when he performed our first dance song live. Josh made our wedding day so much fun and so special!
Josh was an absolute star at our wedding! I knew Josh was the musician for us when I first talked to him on the phone as we hit it off immediately. His personality matched perfectly with ours and I could tell right away that he is truly passionate about performing and being a part of the most important day in the bride and groom's lives. He is talented beyond words can describe, has hundreds of songs on his playlist but will also learn others just for you, is SO intentional with not only his music but also in his speeches while he is the Master of Ceremonies, knows how to get the party going and most importantly, parties with you!!!
Josh was such an important part of our wedding day and our guests are still talking about how awesome he was! He is truly such a genuine, talented, and super fun person and we're super grateful that he was our musician.
Josh is an amazing vendor and musician to work with. He made the process so seamless and was extremely receptive to our music suggestions. He was enthusiastic throughout the entire evening and kept the party going. We also had him play an acoustic set during dinner and it was fabulous… created a very enjoyable atmosphere with the quality of the performance and the variety of music. Would definitely recommend Josh for both his acoustic and DJ set!!!!
Josh is absolutely everything!! Genuine, talented, kind, intentional, and the list could go on forever! He sang during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was even more perfect than I could have ever dreamed. I vividly remember walking into the chapel and tearing up immediately from how beautifully he sang our song. The sound of his heavenly voice as I walked down the aisle has been the most perfect soundtrack of every memory during that special moment. All of our guests continue to ask about him and rave about how incredible he was! My husband and I are the biggest Josh Klaus fans, and we recommend him to everyone! Our wedding day would not have been the same without him because Josh just made it next level perfection! He exudes the most infectious energy that instantly makes you smile and brightens the room! He is truly such a gem! 100% recommend hiring Josh Klaus!! We are forever thankful for how special and memorable Josh made our wedding day. Thank you for everything, Josh!
Josh had everyone is AWE! He helped make my wedding night flow seamlessly. His voice is incredible, his charisma keeps you engaged, and his choice of music is second to none. He knows what gets people on the dance floor. He helped keep my night elegant and timeless, but kept the fun rolling! This man is genuinely happy to be apart of your day which helps to create such a joyful energy in the room! Nothing but love for Josh!
Josh was a referral of a couple of friends of mine who had hired him for different services for their wedding days and so my now-Husband and I went to see Josh perform at a local Austin bar - he BLEW US AWAY!!! This guy is not only incredibly talented, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! You can just tell he truly loves what he does! After his show, we introduced ourselves and asked if he had availability for our wedding date - he did, so we booked him right away! Josh is a triple threat - he was our emcee for the entire evening, DJ and sang live with acoustic guitar. How many wedding entertainers can do all 3?! He is easy to communicate with and so laid back, although he had never played at our venue before, he seamlessly worked with the sound engineer to make sure he had everything he needed prior to our wedding day. Our guests had so much fun dancing, we've been told by both our photographer and videographer teams they had never seen a wedding where no one left the dance floor all night! And that is all thanks to Josh and his incredible talent. Hire him immediately, I promise you won't regret it!!
Josh was the perfect sound track to our fairytale wedding. He has one of the most beautiful voices, an extensive song list and learned a few new songs for our big day. He went above and beyond sending us a few custom recordings of our First Dance song to practice to as we took dance lessons. Our families had an absolute blast at our cocktail hour all thanks to Josh - he was taking requests and leading sing alongs. It was unplanned and absolute perfection! Beyond his musical talent Josh was responsive, professional, timely and so so kind. And to top it all off, he gave us the sweetest wedding wish at the end of the evening too. He is someone who truly loves weddings and romance. We got married in The Ozarks and Josh was 100% worth it to fly out. Thank you Josh!!!
Josh was the star of our wedding night and the absolute perfect addition to our day. From ceremony, to cocktail hour, to our private last dance, we have not stopped receiving compliments from all of our guests about how much they loved him. He listened to my husband and I's wishes and went above and beyond to help cultivate the perfect day. He kept all of our guests engaged and entertained and was so easy to work with!
Josh Klaus was EVERYTHING I could have asked or hoped for as a musician and dj for our wedding. I found Josh’s music through Instagram a few years ago and knew I wanted him to perform at my wedding when the day finally came. He was my 1 “must have”, the piece of my day I refused to compromise on and I could not be happier I made that choice. He was an absolute breeze to work with leading up to the wedding, and then perfectly set the mood for the entire day of. He was relaxed but also full of energy, was calming and truly felt like a friend my husband and I had known for years. Our guests were coming up to us all night and reached out for weeks afterwards to inquire about who this incredible artist was. He made our special day perfect, and I cannot recommend him enough.
If you don't book Josh Klaus for your wedding...or any event for that matter.... you are missing out and whoever you choose will absolutely not be as good as him! :) His music, his voice, his personality, and most of all, his heart, completely made our wedding day and we could not be more grateful. While I loved all of our vendors, Josh really sticks out and we still have tons of our friends and family talking about how great he was and how much they enjoyed hearing him play throughout the night. His talent is beyond impressive and he has a heart of gold that really shows. I am forever a Josh Klaus fan and will definitely be coming back to Austin to hear him play!
Punctuality, Personality, Professionalism? ALL CHECK!!
As the Groom, I thought I was going to be the one holding myself in one piece but turned out to be me who bursted in tears as soon as Josh started singing our song.
Josh requested to meet me and my wife before the wedding in person so we could go over the plan and also just to get to know us and our story.
His voice is, in my best words, touching. I can't describe it any better.
He made sure that everything went smoothly and communicated with our Vendor, prepared extra mics at our request and it was the best day of our lives!
Get him if you can, you won't regret it.
Josh did a wonderful job at our Wedding last weekend (12/10/2022). He went above and beyond as a Singer and DJ. He did a wonderful job keeping our guest engaged all night. We and our guest danced all night long. So many people came up to us afterwards telling us what a phenomenal job Josh did.
We highly recommend him for your next event!!!
Josh is incredible. We heard him 4 years ago playing at the W Hotel in Austin. We asked our waitress what radio station they had on, and she pointed outside to Josh. My husband grabbed his card, and 4 years later, Josh was one of the first people we reached out to when we started planning our wedding. Josh was responsive, collaborative, creative, and beyond supportive of our dream ceremony and cocktail hour. Josh created custom acoustic versions of 2 EDM songs for me and my husband to walk down the aisle to - there wasn't a dry eye in the house. He also DJ'd the perfect set list for our cocktail hour - we heard him DJ'ing while taking formal photos in front of our venue and were jealous that we were missing out. We literally cannot say enough good things about Josh. If you want an incredibly special, highly personalized, and fun musical experience at your wedding - hire Josh Klaus.
Josh was amazing! His voice and talent are incredible! Our guests still talk about him to this day! He truly made our ceremony special, wowed our guests by singing at the cocktail hour, and gave us the best party for our reception! We couldn't imagine having anyone else provide these services for our wedding and we've tried to get all of our engaged friends to book him so we can go to another even he is at!
Josh was truly the best! The ambience he set was incredible. I almost cried the moment I heard him begin rehearsing for our ceremony. Nothing cuts to the heart like live vocals and a guitar on your wedding day :). I loved working with him. He was so flexible, responsive, authentic, open-minded, and present. Having him at our wedding was like the cherry on top to all the details. This all sounds very cheesy but, I promise, it is very, very true. :)
I came across Josh on Instagram and was very interested in his ability to sing wonderfully, MC, and DJ... checking off all our wishes for our big day. A few weeks later my husband and I went to see Josh preform at a local restaurant and realized we had to have him at our wedding. Josh was worth every dollar and more, the energy and happiness he and his voice brings to the wedding day in indescribable. He did an AMAZING job signing during cocktail hour, MCing, and keeping our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Many of our guests told us our wedding dancefloor was the best they have been on, thanks to Josh! And a few of my engaged friends are planning to book him for their future weddings!
Josh was incredible, phenomenal, and all the other good things! The process to hire him was easy and we loved how he engaged with us to make sure everything we wanted for his acoustic set during the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as DJ'ing our reception was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better. Hire Josh! You won't be disappointed.
Josh was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! We first discovered him at a brunch place in Austin and my wife and I were floored with how great his singing and acoustic guitar were. He added the extra "chill" vibe to our wedding with his amazing performance and we had nothing but great feedback from all our guests. Highly recommended, Josh is an incredibly gifted musician and a fantastic human being. Thanks for everything buddy!
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Josh. He was such a pleasure to work with! He made sure our wedding music was done exactly how we wanted down to the littlest details and he has such a gift! His vocals and musical talents are simply incredible and helped make our wedding day so memorable. We had such a great time at the reception due to his attention to detail and going off the type of music we wanted. Our guests LOVED it! He is incredibly kind, honest & punctual on top of his already musically talented gifts. You will not regret having Josh as your wedding singer/DJ. He is such a gem!
Josh was AMAZING!!!! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ/Live Performer.
I was drawn to Josh for his live music ability, and we ended up booking him for our ceremony and reception. Best decision ever! I had a hard time tearing myself away from the dance floor even to go get water. My husband, who is normally more reserved and hesitant to dance, was dancing most of the night and had the time of his life. Josh sang our last song, and it was one of the most magical moments of the whole evening. He knows how to work his audience and also looks like he's having the time of his life too the whole time! He's also flexible to weird requests - ended up playing an Irish song so my cousin could spontaneously do a jig for everyone on the fly, to everyone's delight. I felt like he read my mind and made the most personalized party experience I could imagine. Incredible night, 11/10 would hire again!!
Wow! I had 2 different people recommend Josh to me for my wedding day and he definitely did not disappoint! Josh was super easy to work with and exceeded our expectation on the day of. The thing I enjoyed most about Josh was that he provided the best of both worlds - live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ during the reception. He sang our first dance song and I am so glad he did because it was beautiful and made our dance that much more special. Josh truly helped create the best energy/tone for our wedding day from start to finish! Highly recommend!
Josh is absolutely amazing! He is incredibly communicative and will put you at ease about anything wedding related, not just music.
We hired Josh played our ceremony and cocktail hour and I wish he could've played the whole night. I had some obscure song requests and without hesitation Josh jumped in and said "absolutely, I'll learn Sk8r Boi. No problem".
Not only is Josh one of the most incredible musicians ever, he is genuinely the nicest person I've ever met.
Josh, 5 starts doesn't do you justice! You were the highlight of our wedding. We knew we always wanted live music at our wedding and when we came across your page, we KNEW we had to have you! When we think of the most important parts of our day, we hear your music in the background and it brings us so much joy. I was specifically about the music I wanted while walking down the aisle and you nailed it so perfectly, it gives me goosebumps all over again. Not only did you nail the live music for the ceremony, but you crushed cocktail hour, too! you were the talk of all our guest... actually, you still are, over a week after our wedding! We can't thank you enough for being such an integral part of our day. You rocked the dance floor even with our smallerish wedding. I don't think Zach and I ever left the dance floor, but maybe to cut the cake. You played banger after banger, all while having the biggest and most genuine smile on your face. We are not local to Austin (from Michigan), so finding and vetting vendors from 1,000+ miles away can be challenging, however Josh made this decision a no brainer. Not only did our friends and family love him for our wedding, but we made sure to see him the next night after our wedding at his show at The Domain, we are major Josh Klaus fans over here. We can't thank you enough! Our best vendor choice, by far!
We feel so fortunate that Josh played
incredibly, sang beautifully, and DJ’d with a great feel for our guests. Music dictates the vibe of a wedding ceremony/reception, and Josh made our daughter and son in law’s wedding a meaningful and festive evening. His voice and guitar skills are superb! Our guests kept commenting on his talent. Above all of that, he is a genuinely kind person. If we lived in Austin, we would try to see him perform at every possible occasion. Count yourself extremely lucky if you are able to book him for your wedding. Thank you Josh from our entire family!
Josh Klaus was so amazing! Having him at our wedding was the thing my husband and I were most excited for. I first heard him at a venue open house and immediately took my then fiancé to hear him play at another gig. Booked Josh as quick as I could after that! We had him play guitar for our cocktail hour/first dance/last dance and DJ for the ceremony/reception. Having live music played for you first and last dance are just beautiful. To choose our music and have everything go smoothly he sent us a google form to send out a few weeks before the wedding. He was always very responsive by email. Now that our wedding is over our favorite thing to do is go around Austin and hear him play at different venues.
Where do I even begin. We planned our wedding from afar (we are not local to Austin) and I depended on reviews to book our vendors so it is very important to me to give Josh a stellar review. Our wedding would not have been our DREAM wedding without him there. I actually just realized I have not spoken to a single wedding guest yet who hasn’t told me “your DJ was the best wedding DJ I have ever seen.” But seriously everyone loved this guy. I felt like Josh was a part of our friend group who just happened to have the voice of an angel, incredible music taste and was also the life of the party. His acoustics are out of this world good, but his personality is even better. Our wedding party has a group text and is already talking about the next time we can all get together and invite Josh, haha! We gave him several bands/artists that we liked and he curated the most perfect playlist for our wedding. We sang and danced our hearts out all night long and Josh joined us out on the dance floor as well which our guests LOVED. I seriously cannot recommend him more, a review really doesn’t even do him justice. He’s just an incredible guy and musician, and by far our favorite vendor by a landslide. Thank you Josh for the most memorable and special night of our lives.
Josh is an incredible vocalist and musician. But he’s not just that. He’s a great entertainer, a really sweet guy, and he knows how to read the room, start the party, and keep it going! He played acoustic music at our wedding and also was the DJ for the reception. We got so many comments from our guests about how much they loved the music. The music really made the whole atmosphere so enjoyable for everyone (all ages)! He’s so personable and easy to work with too. I highly recommend Josh for any event!! Great voice, great talent, great personality, and top of the line professionalism!
We booked Josh because we were looking for a live musician that was talented in both vocals and acoustic guitar, and not solely just a DJ. And let me tell ya, he is beyond talented! He nailed every cue and made our vision for coffeehouse vibes come to life. Josh is easy to work with and makes your big day special in ways you wouldn’t expect - he took it upon himself to intro our toasts with a few words on the importance of them, and even gave his own small cheers to us! He was comfortable and confident as an emcee and it felt as he knew us by the way he spoke about us. Definitely worth way more than what we spent and 100% would recommend him to anyone!
So we 1st saw Josh performing at the open house at Ma Maison and we were blown away and hired him the next day to play at our wedding... HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT !! All of our guest were asking us who the guitarist was and how to find him. He definitely was worth hiring. If anyone is looking for a guitarist with the best vocals in town... You have got to hire Josh. You will be glad you did! he deserves more than just 5 stars!

So lucky we found Josh to play at our wedding ceremony. Not only was he professional and easy to work with, but his music, positive energy, and kind-hearted personality was so up lifting. Great voice/musician and even better of a human being.
Probably our favorite vendor we worked with. Josh's personality makes it hard not to like him and he killed it as MC/DJ/musician. Seriously does it all! We found him because we wanted a mix of live music and DJ and our coordinator recommended him. It is honestly such an affordable choice when you add up ceremony music, then cocktail hour, then reception. The #1 thing that comes up after our wedding is how great the music was. One guest even said, "Did that guy ever take a break?!" because he was so integral for every major thing at our wedding. Don't even think about it and book Josh. He has an amazing voice, infectious personality, and knows how to pump up a crowd!
Josh is one of our absolute favorite vendors that we booked for our wedding. He is an incredible artist and everyone was truly blown away by his talent. We booked him for our elopement ceremony, as well as our larger wedding celebration and he knocked both out of the park. I invite everyone to listen to his Spotify account so you can become a true fan just like we are! Thank you Josh!
Josh is so talented and is the perfect musician for your wedding day! His music is so beautiful and created the best ambiance for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He also sang our first dance song, which was one of my favorite parts of the night! You will not regret hiring Josh, we highly recommend him!!!
If you're reading this then stop what you're doing and hire Josh before he gets taken. He is AMAZING. All his reviews are spot on. We hired him to sing during our ceremony and cocktail hour. He learned every song we asked and nailed them all. He's also so nice and easy to talk to. He plays around Austin a lot so go seek him out just to hear his incredible voice.
Josh has an amazing voice and was so easy to work with! He definitely made our ceremony feel special and intimate. We curated the songs, and even asked him to duet with one of our friends for our exit. He was eager to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations! 10/10 recommend!
Josh was recommended to us by a former co-worker and we were so lucky he had our date available. From the start, Josh was attentive, creative and kind. He listened to all of our requests and made sure that we were 100% happy with the music way before our date even came around. At the wedding, he was the perfect hype man and a huge crowd pleaser! We had Josh for acoustic and DJ services and everyone could not be more impressed with how incredible he sounded and how professional he was in both mediums. We were so happy to have Josh provide the theme music for our wedding and we can’t wait to attend some of his live shows later on. I would recommend Josh 10x over and and over again.
Josh was just the best! He has a ton of experience and knows exactly how to get the crowd on the dance floor. And Josh is just an amazing singer, what a beautiful voice. We loved him and were so happy that we decided to go with Josh as our singer and DJ. Definitely recommend!
Josh was amazing! We heard him play live and immediately knew we wanted him to play as we walked down the aisle, through our cocktail hour, and our first dance. If you haven't heard his acoustic versions of some of your favorite early 2000s's songs, you're missing out. He was great - suggested songs, learned our first dance song, and overall was a positive spirit to have on our day.
First, I think all couples should have live music for their ceremony and cocktail hour. Second, I think all couples should also hire Josh for this! He has literally the voice of an angel and so many of our guests told us that his singing made our ceremony. He was extremely responsive, even when I changed my mind a million times about songs, he was always on top of things. He made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special with the music that he played for us. He is a great guy all around and an even better musician.
I can't say enough good things about Josh! He played our ceremony and our cocktail hour. The guests kept coming up to me telling me how good he was. It gave the cocktail hour a more intimate feeling before the big band started after dinner. It felt like the guests got a little of everything. He learned the song we requested for my walk down the aisle and it was exactly how I imagined it. He is fairly priced, very responsive and added a touch to our wedding that I didn't even realize we needed. If you book with him, you will truly not regret it and you will be so pleased.
Josh is hands down the best DJ! However, he didn't only DJ at our wedding but also performed live music (beautiful voice by the way!!). He truly kept the party going. We're 100% certain he had EVERYONE dancing the whole night. He's so personable and just a genuine guy in general. We're so incredibly lucky that he DJ'd our wedding. Looking forward to seeing him perform when we're in Austin!
We booked Josh a little less than a year in advance for our wedding. Josh was everything we could’ve asked for and more! Josh handled all the logistics behind the ceremony (played guitar as people came in, brought microphones, etc.). He then played during the cocktail hour and then handled our entire reception. He DJ’d and played acoustic based on our favorite genres/a few selected songs. Josh even personalized a couple songs on the guitar based on our likes and interests. It was a perfect mix of sweet/traditional wedding songs and songs that had everyone on the dance floor. Almost the entire guest list was on the dance floor at the same time! Josh was obviously a crowd favorite. Our guests are still raving to this day about how Josh was the best performer they’ve ever seen at a wedding. Would reach out to Josh as soon as possible if you’re interested! You will not regret it.
We hired Josh to play music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (DJ). When looking for a musician, we did not want a typical wedding DJ or band. We wanted someone who did events other than weddings. Josh caught my attention because I saw he played shows around the city at different bars and restaurants. I then listed to some of his YouTube videos of him playing and I was sold (so good)! It was such a great decision!
From the get go he was very organized and thoughtful. He provided a questionnaire asking us all of the details around music for our big day. We also had a phone chat with him where we got to know him more and discussed the details of our music needs. He showed up to our wedding and was a very warm and bubbly presence.
Our wedding was planned to be all outside and it happened to start pouring rain minutes before our ceremony start time. Everyone rushed to shelter and we ended up having to shift around the schedule to wait out the rain. It was a bit chaotic at first, but Josh rolled with the punches and just kept playing music with a smile on his face, keeping everyone calm and happy.
For the reception we told him we wanted a middle school dance vibe and he 100% delivered. Everyone at the wedding could not stop talking about how great of a musician he was and how fun it was to hear him DJ. Even after the wedding people kept telling us how great he was! We had so much fun and loved all of the music Josh played. He even learned our first dance song so he could play it acoustically and it was perfect. I would highly recommend Josh for all of your wedding musical needs!
I LOVE Josh and so did every single one of my guests! We got too many compliments on him to even count! In fact, someone snagged him up for another event while they were at my wedding. He was an awesome MC, DJ and even sang all of our special dance songs (mom/groom, daddy/bride, first dance, etc) and sang during cocktail hour. Josh was the best thing we did for our wedding! His energy was infectious and his personality is AMAZING! We loved everything about our experience with him!
Josh Klaus is hands down one of the best decisions you can make while planning your wedding! Josh has great reviews and seems to be really well known in Austin (we aren't from Austin), but you're never sure if someone will live up to the hype. We were BLOWN AWAY by Josh throughout the process. He was down to meet with us while we were in town a few months before the wedding and really took care to customize his approach in a way that captured my husband and I as a couple.
For example, we love listening to vinyl at home and it's always a fun activity when we host people at our house. Josh came up with the idea that during dinner, guests could come up and choose records from our own collection - he even brought his record player and hooked it up to his system. People have not stopped raving about how fun that was!
Josh was also happy to learn songs for us - his rendition of In a Week by Hozier was incredible. Some people didn't realize it was a cover - that is how good he is!
The bottom line is that Josh's energy and performance elevated our day from start to finish - I know he set the tone as soon as guests arrived and then guided everyone through our happy hour and dinner. By the time it was time to dance, you better bet he was out there with us for a couple songs! We've had several people from the wedding reach out for Josh's info - so you know that his performance really stuck with everyone!
If we ever have the opportunity to work with Josh again, we'll jump at the chance! Thank you Josh!!
Not much else to say, but WOW! Initially, we hadn't intended on having a live musician, but now (even a month after the wedding), our friends & family keep mentioning how great Josh was!
We had him setup to begin playing during eating, which didn't give him much of a crowd, but he rocked it. Then by the dances, Josh was a major focal point of the festivities!
2 things I enjoyed most about Josh (Aside from his actual singing/playing):
1. His ability to transition between songs seamlessly. We piped his playing throughout the whole venue & I couldn't find any moments when there were awkward pauses. At one point, I thought someone with phenomenal music taste had switched out the playlist being played on the Spotify.
2. His ability to incorporate what he had heard from the speeches into random ad-libs & transitions. My parents & best man got a few good jabs in (and some compliments) & Josh was able to incorporate them and give the audience a good laugh.
