About this vendor
It's YOUR day! Powered by Monolith!
Based in Knoxville, TN, with a goal to make your dreams of a fun and memorable wedding come true -through thoughtful and inspired setups featuring professional lighting and equipment- Monolith Entertainment strives to pull your guests in and keep them dancing! With this and a focus on building and maintaining an incredible DJ and MC team, be confident your friends, family, and co-workers will have the best time possible!
Monolith Entertainment has only ever used pro equipment (no RadioShack DJ’s here), and all pieces of the setups and placement are thoughtfully considered (not just thrown together), with cables and other unsightly parts tucked away and/or taped down to match the pristine look of your wedding and avoid hazards. Backup equipment is always on hand for vital equipment to make sure nothing brings the wedding to a halt, and any issues that may arise are handled quickly without disrupting the whole evening.
Monolith DJ’s, including myself, truly enjoy and understand today’s music and that of our core couples, but we also love the classics. I keep our music catalog up to date and will fulfill every request from our couples made in advance. As well, you’ll find that I am attentive and available 24/7 to all who hire Monolith Entertainment.
Ultimately, you want to fill at ease with your entertainment choice from the time you book until the last song is played. You want an entertainment provider that meets your specific needs, meets your expectations of fun and professionalism, and works with your budget. I am always working to ensure that will continue to be said about Monolith Entertainment.
SERVICES OFFERED
We offer ceremony and reception entertainment services. Each reception comes with 4 hourse of DJ entertainment, but you can always add more hours if you need. The ceremony service is available with microhpones and, if it's in a separate area from the reception, portable sound and DJ equipment. I, the owner and head DJ, will consult with couples to discuss what they would like to have on their wedding day. When you book, you'll receive in depth planning forms to formulate a plan for an overall agenda and timeline of events to help ensure the night goes smoothly. Nearlyweds may choose the music genres they like best for their ceremony and reception, create a Must Play and Do-Not-Play list, as well as dictate any announcements they'll need and notes on key parts of the wedding. We also provide additional ambient uplighting, stage lighting, projector and screen services, and Magic Mirror Photo Booth rental services for couples. Monolith Entertainment has access to and the range to play EVERY genre of music.

Lance was absolutely incredible to work with!! During the planning process he was so quick to respond to my many emails and answered all of my questions easily. I always felt confident that our wedding day would run smoothly, and that was an understatement!! My husband and I were truly blown away by how amazing Lance was when it came to the day of. He played as many song requests as he could while still reading the room and figuring out what our guests were enjoying. My husband and I weren’t even planning on dancing at all during the reception but we didn’t leave the dance floor once!
If you’re debating who to hire this is your sign…BOOK MONOLITH ASAP!!
Could not have asked for a better DJ! Super easy to book, the set-up looked amazing, he did a great job keeping the reception moving along and people dancing, and was so polite/professional.
Lance did a wonderful job and it turned out exactly like we wanted! And he made the process really simple and streamlined.
Any questions?
Did a great job at keeping the event moving and everyone had a great time!
Lance was absolutely incredible from beginning to end! He was thorough in preparations, matched the vibe of our reception, and coordinated well with our other vendors and event planner. Absolutely recommend!
Lance was our DJ for our November 12th wedding at Parkside Resort and he was wonderful!! We first met with him about a year out from our wedding and we instantly meshed well. We didn’t want a typical “cheesy” DJ and wanted someone who would understand our unique style, and Lance delivered! He was very communicative throughout the process and listened to all of our requests. He had to deal with our unique venue of having 2 levels with the ceremony space being converted to the dance floor and he pulled it all off seamlessly by providing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He was very personable, down to earth, and kept the party going! I would highly recommend Lance for anyone planning a wedding!
Lance did awesome! Great set up. Did both ceremony and reception seamlessly. Did announcements with enthusiasm & was well spoken. Thanks lance!!
Lance was great!
Lance was super professional and responded quickly to all our communications. Unfortunately due to Covid we had to cancel our ceremony but he was very understanding and promptly refunded us. We will definitely use him again if we have a ceremony in the future!
Lance was wonderful. We purchased the bare bones package with ceremony and games pack for our outdoor wedding. Lance was very professional and attended the rehearsal and wedding day promptly. The speakers were not seen during the ceremony and quality was wonderful. Lance was able to play the playlist we wanted and he was the right level of interactive on our wedding day. Quality of sound was high and we had many compliments about him/the music throughout the night. We were so grateful for Lance's hard work. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the future. The games package was great too! Great way to get guests involved beyond dancing.
What an awesome company to work with! I work with vendors and contractors at my job, so I know a thing or two about customer service, and Monolith was exceptional! Fast and honest service with clear expectations of what we were going to receive for the price we paid. If you are in the market for a DJ service, do yourself a favor and contact Lance! They really got our party going and kept us all dancing and celebrating until the venue kicked us out hahaha.
