Mark Addington Events

e a custom mix combining two of our favorite songs. He showed up early and prepared, ran an efficient soundcheck, and quickly adapted to issues with the venue's microphones, ensuring the ceremony went off without a hitch. Then, the dance floor playlist was incredible. He played all of our "must plays" in such a great compilation, and mixed in lots of other great songs. People were on the dance floor all night, just like we wanted. Thank you Mark!

n changed/added songs to the ceremony all the way up until the day before. We had a windy ceremony, but his sound system was clear and everyone was able to hear perfectly. Mark’s a classy MC and a killer DJ. He knows how to read the crowd, what songs to play to get everyone out on the dance floor and keep them there. He played such a vital role in the best night if our lives. His price is extremely reasonable, especially for the quality of work. If you want your wedding to be perfect, you better hire Mark! 

hours interviewing DJs and trying to find the match, and it was such an easy choice the moment we started talking with Mark. I did some live music during our reception our and Mark was so gracious enough to let me use some of his equipment and helped me making it all come together for a rocking, good time. Mark goes above and beyond his expected duties as a DJ. He pays attention to the crowd's energy, he is attentive throughout, he has intentionality that is felt in each interaction. We are so blessed to have worked with, Mark. If you are still reading this, then you need to just seal the deal with him because obviously he's the right one for the job.

t DJ and MC! We still have guests raving about how amazing Mark was. He truly read the vibes! Mark ensures that he walks you through the whole process from start to finish. My husband and I felt very taken care of my him and his music services. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!

you’re looking for, you can trust that he will take care of it and do a fantastic job. Thank you so much for the best night Mark!

of execution. Mark is so friendly and a true professional! 

the dance floor- we closed the night out with a series of emo classics that had the whole friend group screaming and jumping along. Also loved that he had a ton of experience at the venue we picked and had worked with our photographer before!

out the planning process. Mark was so easy and fun to work with, serving as a fantastic MC who helped transition smoothly between the different parts of our event. He also provided excellent music advice to ensure we had the perfect soundtrack for our big day, and made sure the sound equipment was set up and operated flawlessly. All our guests raved about the great music and energy on the dance floor. We couldn't be happier with our choice to pick Mark! 

h, communicating with Mark was a treat. His energy and excitement for his work is infectious - talking with him and walking through the emotions we wanted to elicit throughout the day was actually what pulled us out of the grind of planning the wedding and made us start feeling excited for the day to arrive. Even as early as our first meeting, we could tell that Mark had a good feel for the energy and vibe we were aiming for, and we knew we were in good hands, with Mark even having (solicited!) input on how to use each of the genres of music we liked at different points during the event to manage energy levels, a credit to his experience and care for what he does. As the day approached, Mark remained easy and flexible to work with, allowing us to make numerous changes to various song choices and lengths for our dances even just days before the event. After providing a few songs to serve as the guidelines for what we wanted to have played for open dancing, Mark had our full trust to flesh out the rest of the night, and when we requested to play a song that my husband had recorded, Mark went as far as to pay him for the song, out of respect for the art. That's like the equivalent of over 1000 streams on Spotify, just saying, and made our day! On the wedding day, meeting Mark at the venue was like meeting an old friend - he was just as excited for us as any of our guests were. Due to Mark's level of preparation and communication ahead of time, we didn't need to discuss any further details or set up with him, and he completely nailed the brief. From the various songs played during the ceremony, to microphones, to emceeing the dinner and speeches, to the first and parental dances, to bringing the house down at the end of the night, everything went off without a hitch, and he also brought us cookies from his wife (incredible!!)?? The flow of the day was perfect, and the music created a new atmosphere for each segment of the day that matched the vibe perfectly. We will be recommending Mark to any future wedding couples in our lives for hopes of getting to see him work his magic again, and if you're looking for someone to bring excitement and care to your event along with the foresight that comes with experience in the business, Mark is your guy. Thanks for an amazing day, Mark! <3

ept the energy flowing from start to finish. His vibe, professionalism, and ability to read the crowd truly made our wedding so special and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and are over the moon that we had him as part of our day. We highly, highly recommend him!

pushy. I panic changed most of my songs the night prior at 1am and he was so accommodating to that switch. Worked so well with our coordinators and photographer. I am so glad we booked him. I had the time of my life and not 1 single song was a miss. He had everyone on the dance floor until the second he left and still singing when he started to pack up. Thank you SO MUCH Mark.

fect vibe for our special day and asked all of the right questions. Mark's amazing work on the dance floor was a huge hit - he crushed it and made the night so much fun for all our guests! He took care of every detail, which made the day much less stressful for me. I would highly recommend Mark for any wedding or event. He was incredible in every way and helped make our day truly special.

emcee for our wedding ceremony and reception. Everything was so smooth thanks to the thorough meetings we had together prior to our wedding day. We discussed every detail about the music and timeline. Mark is very organized in planning where his equipment will be ahead of time. He also requested separate playlists to ensure that he captured the vibes we wanted. He stayed on schedule with our timeline and adapted to any last minute changes throughout the day. As an emcee, he had a good sense of humor, and he knew exactly when to transition between activities and games during the reception. Mark is very easy to work with and we're grateful we hired him, because he was a big part of what made our day perfect! We highly recommend him!

vent. He played all of the requested songs and set a fun party vibe for us millennials the whole night. The amount of compliments we received about Mark was amazing. We highly recommend him for your wedding! Thank you Mark!!

r for us to work with. We had last minute surprise rain on our wedding day, and Mark calmly and quickly figured out a plan to move all of his equipment indoors. Wife and I had a quick check in to make sure all the vendors were on the same page with the new plan, but otherwise we kicked back knowing that music would be in great hands. Mark incorporated our music suggestions well, yet read the dance floor expertly to make sure that there was good rise/fall of energy level and to make sure everyone was having a great time. We danced all evening. Thank you!!!

m, and attention to detail from our very first conversation. He was extremely helpful and thorough in the planning process, always communicative, responsive, and flexible, even handling a few last-minute changes on the day of the wedding with ease. Mark handled the ceremony, social hour, and reception seamlessly. We had multiple songs for different entrances, as well as a custom-mixed father-daughter dance, and he executed everything perfectly. Mark read the room beautifully and kept the dance floor full all night; everyone had a fantastic time. His pricing was clear and reasonable, with no hidden fees or extra hour charges. I would highly recommend Mark for any event—you’ll be glad you did!

ss fun and stress-free. On the day, they delivered high-quality, family-friendly entertainment that kept all our guests - including the 20 who were children - engaged and having a great time. Mark made sure to balance the needs of the adults and couples with keeping the kids entertained, and he kept everything running smoothly without me ever having to track him down with questions. I'd highly recommend Mark Addington Events for any couple looking for a DJ who will make their special day perfect.

our planning on track. The quality of his work and value was truly above and beyond - he was incredibly professional and flexible throughout the entire process. When our timeline got a bit off during the wedding day, Mark took ownership of the situation and quickly got everything back on schedule so the day ran smoothly (as a Bride, this took stress off of my plate and I truly just enjoyed the night!) The whole planning process with Mark and his team was seamless, and they exceeded our expectations at every turn. We highly recommend Mark Addington Events to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding Emcee and DJ!

ed his opinion that we ended up asking him about wedding aspects totally unrelated to music. And as far as the music goes, he was awesome, from his musical selection suggestions to the timing of all the tracks during the ceremony to the MC duties at the ceremony. Next time I get married, I'm hiring Mark again (just kidding).

t anything we wanted to add in or felt confused about. He checked in with us throughout out the night about anything or to make sure we were ready to move on to the next event!!! Best DJ i could recommend.

e on the dance floor. Your personality and our worked and meshed so well together! You are truly talented and amazing!

direction. He did an awesome job leading the Hora, keeping guests on the dance floor, and following the exact styles of music we were looking for (a perfect mix of oldies, 00s/10s throwbacks, EDM, and classic Bay Area songs). Mark is responsive, friendly, and super easy to work with. I couldn't recommend him enough!

to send him ideas about what music we liked for the different parts of the day and he made us feel confident that he would handle the rest - and he delivered! His music and entertainment truly exceeded our expectations - he created such a fun and lively atmosphere that our guests were raving about for weeks after the wedding. Additionally, he helped to keep our wedding day on schedule by making announcements throughout the day to help guide guests to the next step. We're so grateful to Mark for being a big part of making our special day truly amazing. We would recommend Mark for any event!

h they loved as well. Communication was easy, quick, and efficient. He is so kind and friendly. When last minute changes came up for mics during the ceremony or timing of speeches during the reception, Mark rolled with the punches and had no problem being flexible. I might be biased since it was my own wedding, but I will never be able to experience a better dance party at any other wedding because Mark did such a wonderful job at mine! So many guests let us know it was the most fun they've had at a wedding in a very long time as well, thanks to how good the music was. If I could give mark a million stars in this review, I would!

activities but did it in a way that didn't feel commandeering. Highly recommended.

y and things could not have gone better! He was energetic, added complementary songs to our playlists, and read the vibe of our group to keep folks dancing! We'll never forget when he played a few aptly timed songs including one mentioned in a parent speech - just WOW. If you want a truly genuine, passionate and talented DJ, look no further!

ons and help with the overall flow of the reception. Throughout the reception and the day after, we constantly had family and friends come up to us to tell us how good the DJ was and how impressed they were that he curated a vibe for all ages and not just the younger guests. In addition to providing musical entertainment for the evening, Mark acted as a planner for the reception, making sure we didn't miss any components and allotted ample time to all our key moments. Mark truly went above and beyond when 2 weeks before the wedding we asked if he could provide us with a speaker and microphone for our Welcome Dinner without any issues. I would STRONGLY recommend Mark for any event and hope I get to attend a wedding he djs in the future!

hat we wanted in our entire wedding, from guest arrival, dinner music, to the dance floor. We had our brother in law (who does not usually do weddings) play keyboard during our ceremony and first dance and Mark seamlessly connect the piano to his system and ensured we had the correct connections for the model we had provided. Mark is the ultimate professional, his charisma and commitment to ensuring not only us but our guests had an amazing evening. Highly recommend Mark for any event, can't wait to work with him again!

ther a super elaborate trivia game with sound, music, and lighting cues – and Mark absolutely went above and beyond to make it a smashing success. On top of that, Mark was great at reading the energy of the room and getting everybody on the dance floor. He was super thorough and great to work with – he never missed a single detail. Thanks Mark for the best wedding ever!!!

uests on the dance floor and we think he had a hard time catching a break since no one wanted to stop dancing! He was very professional and super fun and understood exactly what we were looking for in all of our "magic moments" as well as the open dancing. Along with using our special ceremony songs exactly how we wanted, we gave him some playlist ideas for the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing times but he knew exactly how to curate the rest of the songs to fit our crowd perfectly (all ages were dancing and enjoying the night). We would recommend Mark to anyone and we're looking forward to having a future event when we can book him again!

ssionalism, and attentiveness. We were blessed to see Mark in action at our friends' wedding several months later. Mark was brilliant from start to finish!! Mark was helpful and amazing throughout our process. On our big day, Mark brought his "A" game. He checked in with the officiant and wedding party before the ceremony and assisted our coordinator throughout the night. We trusted Mark with the dance music, and Mark did not disappoint. Mark made our "photo dash" experience memorable and kept people on our dance floor the entire night. Mark, thank you again; you are indeed a master of your craft.

el at ease right away. One of the standout aspects of working with Mark was his enthusiasm for our wedding concept. We wanted to include both dancing and board games during the reception, and he embraced the uniqueness and really made things come to life. We’ll remember the liveliness that Mark created for a long, long time. Mark already had familiarity with our venue, so he handled all the setup himself, ensuring everything was perfectly arranged without us having to worry about a thing. We requested light emceeing, and Mark respected our wishes perfectly. Despite this, he made sure to get the pronunciation of our names just right, showing great attention to detail. Our names were pronounced flawlessly, which meant a lot to us. Overall, Mark provided an exceptional DJ service that was tailored to our specific needs and preferences. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a dedicated, professional, and amicable DJ. Thank you, Mark, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

FUN! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. 10/10.

intrest inspo come true. We just told him what vibes we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and he delivered! He was keeping the party alive throughout the night with the inpromptu song requests from friends while maintaining the atmosphere of the wedding we wanted. He was just as excited as we were for our big day as both of us are huge disney fans. I felt like he understood us as a couple and gave us really great suggestions. He was great at MCing as well and made the night flow seamlessly. My wedding party has names that are difficult to pronounce and he perfected each one of them. Mark is awesome, professional and provided amazing services throughout the whole day. All my guests said they had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for someone to make their wedding planning and day less stressful.

dance floor all night, we had a great time! All the guests were complimenting me on choosing such a great DJ, lol! He kept the night running smoothly. Communicating through the whole planning process was so awesome. If I emailed him he got back to me quickly. We had a few calls where he helped me plan my timeline. I can’t say enough great things about him! My husbands family is Persian so he did a mix of songs that kept everyone dancing. It was a night to remember!

cess leading to our event. During our preparation, we communicated with Mark a few times over email, phone and zoom to share our ideas and refine details. He is extremely positive and was open to our suggestions. Whether it was playing music related to movie soundtracks, pop culture, or K-pop, he was more than willing to have fun with us. His attention to detail also did not go unnoticed as he would also make sure that he finds the specific versions of songs that you request. He was also extremely helpful with adjusting music as well. For example, we wanted to cut a section out and slow down our first dance song. He was able to do this for us perfectly and also helped provide a copy of the file for us to practice. These may be small details but were important to us. Ultimately, you cannot go wrong with working with Mark. He was absolutely amazing at what he does and will do everything that he can to make your dream event come true! Thank you, Mark. We are so happy to have worked with you.

taphorical plate, and this guy is for sure hitting home runs! Sports terminology aside my wife and I adore this man. We had the pleasure of meeting him at a few of the numerous weddings we have been to and immediately locked him in the moment I proposed to my then-girlfriend. From start to finish, Mark is organized, personable, and professional while keeping the vibe comfortable. His ability to read the room is unparalleled with other DJs I have experienced over the years. Hiring Mark isn't just hiring another DJ or MC. It's like hiring another personal wedding coordinator for your big day. Words cannot express how grateful I am for finding Mark and making our big day even more special. This man deserves every positive accolade that can be placed on an individual. If you're looking for a DJ with infectious positivity it is this man. With no hesitation, we have already suggested Mark to other friends at their weddings and upcoming events. Thank you, Mark, Lana and I hope to see you soon!

l the qualities you want in a wedding DJ. We had a venue with the bar in a different room, so that is hard to keep people dancing ... but Mark worked his magic and had people in the dance floor all night! Not only did we love him, our guests couldn't say enough wonderful things about him!

ectation we had. I could not recommend him more! If you want to have an amazing, stress free, fun, and smooth event/wedding he’s your guy!! Highly recommend!

complished. During the event was just as great as he had everyone ready for us and kept the dance floor going all night. Mark couldn't have been any more of a gentleman to everyone at our wedding and did everything in his power to make it as great as possible. And it was!
