    Thanks Mark for the best wedding ever!!

    Mark was the best DJ/MC we could have possibly wanted for our wedding! We had big dreams for our wedding reception, and Mark pulled through in a huge way. My husband and I put together 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!!!

    Honest, professional, dedicated, and passionate DJ

    Need a DJ? Book Mark Addington!! We met Mark through close friends who booked him for their wedding. We reached out and were immediately impressed with his energy, knowledge, professionalism, 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.

    Mark was amazing!

    Truly could not have asked for a better DJ. He was communicative, receptive to all of our ideas and songs, super professional and organized as an MC, and just so FUN! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. 10/10.

    Best DJ EVER!! Highly Recommend!

    Mark is so easy to work with. He is organized and has a portal where you can input all your party information, songs, and vendors. He is professional and makes all your instagram/pintrest 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.

    The Party Is in Great Hands With Mark

    We were first introduced to Mark via word of mouth and we are so happy to have stuck with this decision. He was extremely attentive, fun, and professional throughout the entire process 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.

    Perfect DJ for a perfect night!

    Mark has the energy you want in a DJ! He had my guests up and dancing all night, he was awesome to work with! From our first phone call I knew he was going to be an awesome DJ. All my guests loved him and had a great time. We had several phone calls and he listened to everything I wanted and made it happen. Such a memorable night

    Our Wedding at The Ranch in San Jose

    If there was ever someone batting a thousand in life it is Mark Addington. For those of you unfamiliar with the baseball phrase, it means he gets hits every time he is up to the metaphorical 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!

    Incredible

    Mark was the absolute BEST DJ. From the moment we chose him, up until the last second of the wedding night he was ON IT! He is very organized, personable, and outgoing which are all 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!

    Mark was amazing!

    For starters, he was super helpful with everything from start to finish! Gave a lot of ideas and tips for the night but was very reseptive of what we wanted and how we wanted it accomplished. 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!

    Phenomenal

    Absolutely thrilled with Mark! A solid 5-star performance – friendly, organized, and incredibly communicative. Made our special day even more memorable with the perfect soundtrack. He came up with so many great song suggestions when I didn’t have time to research my own songs. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    We booked Mark for our wedding and he was FANTASTIC! From the moment we had our first introduction call to the day of, his energy was high, his dedication was unwavering and his attention to detail was impeccable.

    I also want to highlight how great his communication was. When planning a wedding, it's really stressful when you work with vendors who don't respond right away and Mark never dropped the ball. He commented on how flexible he was as far as being involved as little or as much as we wanted when it came to the music and being MC for our event. And this is something I really appreciated as I was overseeing so many details that I was feeling overwhelmed at having to choose all the music and manage the pacing of the wedding but he really jumped in enthusiastically, ready to tackle whatever we needed. During our 2nd call in particular, he was so well organized and asked many questions that my husband and I hadn't even thought of so that really helped build our trust that he would handle everything day of without any issue.

    A lot of my guests were impressed that the MC at our wedding was also the DJ because of how well he multi-tasked. Music was very important to me, particularly the dance playlist and in our first call, Mark had said that his goal at the end of the night, was to have our guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that they didn't want the party to end. Well, I can confidently say that he nailed it! Cannot say enough about how happy we were with Mark and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing DJ/MC!

    AMAZING DJ! Got our vision and executed perfectly

    Mark was amazing to work with and made our Aug. 19 wedding so incredibly special. From our initial conversation I knew he would be a good fit . We were a bit insane and gave him a playlist of about 6 hours of music, ranging from oldies to Reggaeton, to dance music, to classic rock to work with. Mark understood our vision perfectly and somehow made it all fit seamlessly together. Our goal was to spend as much time on the dance floor as possible, and I was excited to see people that normally don’t dance out there.

    Each time we spoke with Mark leading up to the wedding, we felt so secure in our choice. There’s sooo much more to what a DJ does than just play your music. They set the vibe and quite literally move the event along. Considering how much goes into pulling off a wedding, our vendors made it unbelievably easy for us to sit back and enjoy our night — Mark was a major part of that, and we can’t recommend him enough.

    Mark Addington was the best DJ and Emcee we could have asked for!

    Mark was incredible to work with. Right off the bat he was clear and organized and was friendly and professional. He told us that his top priority was to help us have the best wedding, just the way we want. The process could not have been simpler with the form Mark had us fill out with all our special songs. This helped keep things clear and organized and made it all simple! We provided Mark with a playlist and he took that and just really understood the sorts of things we like, and he was able to fill that out and also read the crowd and did a great job playing certain songs at certain times!
    His sound system was great, of course for dancing but also all of the microphones and speakers for the ceremony music and for speeches. Everything sounded great!
    We told Mark that dancing was important to both of us and that we wanted it to be a great time at the wedding. He did an excellent job making that happen! He is a great DJ and Emcee and truly we could not have had a better time working with him. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He helped us have the best time we could have ever asked for- thank you Mark!! - Blake and Nicole

    Amazing corporate event - we danced all night!

    We hired Mark for a company event of about 500 people at The Tech Interactive in March 2023. He was a great communicator before our event and was ready to go when we arrived. He brought the great tunes!! I gave little to no direction on the song list and he really picked the best songs!! I'll absolutely recommend Mark to teammates that are planning events and will hire him again for future events.

    The best DJ around

    Mark is absolutely amazing!!! He rocked the house for us at our wedding this past Sunday. He made sure to include our requested songs and his transitions were flawless. He's patient and kind and caring and you can definitely tell that he loves what he does and boy does he do it well. We even have people asking for a playlist. He's a kick ass MC as well. His voice is smooth and he knows how to get everyone's attention. He reads the crowd and there was NEVER a dull moment. Look no further, your DJ is right here.

    Extremely accommodating and a great time!

    Mark was amazing when it came to executing our wedding. We had 3 separate locations at our venue and he was able to accommodate everything all while adjusting to any last minute changes. Everyone had a blast and we couldn’t of done it without Mark.

    Cheers!

    The best dj/mc ever!

    A great MC/DJ is VITAL for any wedding reception. They set the tone of the entire event; they make sure all timelines are meant in a reasonable time; and they keep the party going for as long as our guests have the energy to dance the night away. So when it was time to find our perfect DJ/MC for our long-awaited wedding, I scoured countless of websites, reviews, and recommendations until I landed on Mark Addington.

    From our very first phone call, I knew Mark would be perfect. It was the kind of conversation where personalities instantly meshed, where I smiled and laughed thanks to his friendly demeanor, and where I KNEW I found my DJ/MC. I hired Mark very early on, almost 10 months before our wedding, but as we got closer to the wedding date, I appreciated how Mark kept in touch and followed up with me often.

    On the big day, everything went PERFECTLY. Mark's upbeat tone kept the atmosphere light and happy. His music choices, which I decided to leave to him based on our preferences, were spot-on throughout the night. And he made sure all important events started at the exact time. Mark also provided gorgeous up-lighting for our reception which looked amazing in our pictures. Then at the very end the night, he even played a special song for my husband and I to have one last private dance before packing up for the night.

    I can't say enough positive things about Mark. He was not only a delightful person to work with, but also an amazing guest at our wedding. If you have any doubts at all, don't! Mark will take care of you, I promise!

    A true wedding professional!

    From the moment we first spoke with him, it was clear that we had stumbled upon someone truly special. Mark is absolutely incredible, and he played an integral role in making our wedding day one in a million.


    Throughout the entire planning process, working with Mark was an absolute delight. His seamless and effortless approach to coordinating the music for our big day was nothing short of amazing. His online portal, complete with a user-friendly template for selecting songs for different moments during the wedding, made the entire process so simple and stress-free. We were able to curate our ideal playlist with ease, and Mark was always there to offer guidance and suggestions when needed.


    One of the most memorable moments that truly highlighted Mark's professionalism and dedication was the morning of our wedding. A massive storm had swept through the Bay Area, causing a power outage across the entire regional park where our wedding was set to take place. Mark didn't hesitate for a moment. Without us even reaching out, he was already working closely with our other vendors to ensure everything would run smoothly. His proactive approach and quick communication put our minds at ease and allowed us to focus on other aspects of the wedding.


    Mark brought his unique blend of professionalism and a fun-loving spirit that was a breath of fresh air. He exuded a positive and infectious energy that added to the magical atmosphere of the day. Mark's ability to read the room and gauge the mood of our guests was masterful.

    Mark was THE BEST Wedding DJ!

    Hiring Mark to DJ our wedding was THE BEST decision we could have made. Starting with our very first phone call with Mark, he did a great job of understanding our vision to have a fun wedding/reception and he delivered!

    Not only did Mark do a great job of keeping the dance floor packed ALL NIGHT with our guests aged 21-75, he was the perfect emcee throughout the entire day. Even with a last second venue change due to weather, our reception went off seamlessly. Most importantly, he made sure all our guests were aware of the "big moments" (cake cutting, first dances, etc.) throughout the night.

    Whether you're looking for someone to DJ/host a wedding, a birthday, or corporate event, Mark is sure to exceed expectations!
