Did not dissappoint!

We cannot express enough about how much we enjoyed having Devail and Nikki as our DJ duo for our wedding! They most certainly delivered on their promise of No Boring Receptions and has us and our friends dancing all night! They guided the ceremony and reception with ease, and handled any time hiccups that came up without any fuss, making it a less anxious time for all. The planning suite they use is extremely easy to navigate and set s everyone up for success leading up to the big day!

A little something that stood out: Our pastor that officiated our wedding is retired and had not done a wedding in 6 years, and it was the first one he had done without his wife of 57 years there with him. Devail and Nikki took time out of their busy schedule to share some video footage with our pastor so that he could show his wife. Talk about making it a personal experience!!

They did this sort of thing throughout the whole process of working with them. We know this is a long review, but long story short, We cannot recommend their services enough. HIRE THEM!!!!

Our guests stayed on the dance floor all night!

Working with Devail and Nikki was amazing! They are a great couple and understood what we wanted for our wedding on 2/10/24 at the Historic Post Office. They're went above and beyond and exceed our expectations and kept our guests on the dance floor all night! We highly recommend and would use their services again!

Davail was an awesome DJ to work with! His music selection was great and I loved how he did a little mixing as well! He was really interactive with the wedding guests and really got everyone out on the dance floor. I highly recommend his DJ services!

He's so attentive to his couples. My family has hired Echols' entertainment a couple times, and a close friend also requested help with his wedding. Everyone has enjoyed the services they asked for, and have enjoyed the music selection. I look forward to working with Mr. Echols again!
