    Intimate Family Reunion

    Not a wedding day - but a wonderful day with family. Jeremy (guitarist and singer) came to our rental house during our family reunion in OBX. He was a wonderful musician - and even tried to play songs he didn't know. Great with our crowd!

    A great musician to hire!

    We hired him to come play music at the beach house we rented for a family reunion. He was awesome! Very talented and professional, while also friendly and personable. We had children and adults of all ages requesting songs in the moment, and instead of getting frazzled or frustrated that they weren’t on our original list of requests….he kept his cool, kept smiling and attempted a bunch of them with a smile and some humor if he didn’t actually know the whole song. All in all it was a great night and we were super happy with him!

    Thank you so much!!!

    Jeremy played & DJ’d for my wedding this past weekend and was fantastic!! I had a very specific vision for the music for the ceremony & reception (my new husband & I are both theatre people) & Jeremy was SO flexible and accommodating with all of our requests!! I had a friend perform a song during the ceremony & we had some hiccups with whether another friend would be able to play guitar live or if we would need to use a track/which track to use and despite super late notice on my end, Jeremy made it all happen and it worked beautifully!!

    I was up in the hotel getting changed during cocktail hour, but my parents raved about Jeremy’s singing, particularly his rendition of “Carolina on my Mind”. :)

    For the reception, we opted for the up-lighting, which was 100% the right call! It added so much to the space (Kitty Hawk Pier), and his lighting setup on the whole made for great dancing vibes! My family & friends love dancing, and Jeremy definitely facilitated a hype environment to get people on the dance floor! He even played some of our more out requests like “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from Mulan which was so fun to scream-sing! Everyone had a great time, and several guests told me it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to (they may have just said that because I’m the bride lol, if I’m going to take their word for it 😂).

    Thank you Jeremy & your team for everything!! 10/10 would recommend! 💕

    The best wedding entertainment!

    Jeremy was the best entertainer we could ask for! Starting off with the ceremony, he beautifully played the guitar alongside our violinist for the processional song that I walked down the aisle to (Can’t Help Falling In Love), he made sure everyone that was speaking was mic’d up and that our guests could hear everything perfectly, and he played our recessional song right on que. He then blew all of our guests away with singing acoustic with his guitar AMAZINGLY! Jeremy did a great job with DJing and picked all of the best songs to bring all of our guests together on the dance floor for the reception - he is a true professional! Everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had dancing all night long - there wasn’t a time when guests were not on the dance floor! We had the best wedding night and Jeremy was a huge part of making it so wonderful! If anybody is looking for the complete wedding entertainment package for your big day then Jeremy is definitely the best to do it!

    Jeremy is the best!

    Highly, highly recommend hiring Jeremy!

    We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We had lots of requests and ideas that made his job more complicated, and he was so generously game to accomodate everything we wanted—even when that meant bringing extra equipment, doing a more complicated setup, and spending time on the phone with us to go through all the details. He was very communicative and responsive throughout the whole process, and willing to take the time to listen to all our ideas and figure out how to make them work.

    On the day, everything went perfectly! We got so many comments about what an amazing DJ he was and that our dance floor was so rockin'. He did a great job of mixing in our must-plays with other fun songs that got people dancing and songs we love that we hadn't even thought about putting on our list! He is great at reading the room/crowd and keeping the party going.

    Afterwards, he even took the time to send us the photos and videos he had taken during the night, which was amazing—he captured some special moments that happened after our photographer and videographer had already left and we're so happy to have those memories!

    We couldn't ask for a better experience with Jeremy! Hire him!

    Goddard wedding

    Jeremy and his team were amazing! He answered all my questions and was there every step of the planning process. The services he provided at my wedding were amazing. Jeremy is so kind and attentive. He always had a smile on his face, while playing the music we loved. Thank you for everything Jeremy!

    5-star dj and musician

    Jeremy was awesome from start to finish! He was very organized and on top of all communication in the build up to the wedding! His acoustic music was fantastic and the playlist was perfect to keep the party going! He exceeded all expectations and we would highly recommend Jeremy for any upcoming events!

    AMAZING! Stop searching & book with Jeremy

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ than Jeremy for our wedding reception! From the moment we started working with him, we knew we were in great hands. He went above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless.

    Not only did he keep the dance floor packed all night with an amazing selection of music AND knocked it out of the park with our intricate ceremony song selections, but he also serenaded us during the cocktail hour with his beautiful acoustic guitar and vocals. His musical talent is truly exceptional, and his performance added a magical touch to our event that our guests are still raving about.

    His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for music made our wedding unforgettable. He took the time to understand our music preferences and seamlessly blended them with his own fantastic mix. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high was impressive. He even provided us with a few photos and videos he took himself, which gave us an incredible shot from his point of view (one of my favorite pictures of us at the alter, which I included). His positivity, genuine excitement for our big day, and overall personality made us feel like we had known him for years and just had another friend come celebrate our love (which we now consider him!).

    If you're looking for a DJ who can do it all—rock the party and provide a stunning acoustic set—look no further, Jeremy is your guy. We are beyond grateful for his incredible contribution to our wedding and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Thank you, Jeremy, a million times over, for helping us have the night of our lives :)

    The Most Talented Musician and the Perfect Playlist!!

    We could not recommend Jeremy enough because we truly have him to thank for the fun vibes at our wedding. We had the pleasure of having Jeremy as our acoustic musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then as our INCREDIBLE deejay for the reception. We knew from our first meeting that we needed to work with Jeremy (partly because he was down to learn how to play My Sacrifice by Creed lol), and the confidence we had in him only grew throughout our professional relationship. We were really stressing about the playlist, so we constantly emailed Jeremy with suggestions and ideas and he never made us feel like we were being annoying. But as soon as our wedding day arrived and we heard him play Friendship by Chris Stapleton as our wedding party walked down the aisle, all the stress melted away. First of all, he's an incredible singer and we highly recommend seeing his local shows at various venues in the Outer Banks. Everyone kept coming up to us to tell us how great he was acoustically and how they cried at different songs he played. Then during our reception, he was an expert at facilitating everyone's toast - including when the father-of-the-bride went rogue and stole the mic, but Jeremy was so professional that it hardly caused us any stress (thank you, Jeremy!!). And what we think is the biggest indicator of his talent is that our dance floor was PACKED by the end of the night which was exactly what we wanted. We've been to weddings where the dance floor was lackluster and that was one of our biggest stressors, but we had absolutely nothing to worry about with Jeremy on our side. For everyone who reads all the way through this review (we could go on and on, Jeremy was THAT great), PLEASE make sure you book his talents right away - make him a priority vendor because you can't do better than him! 10000/10, highly recommend.

    Steele/Saunders Wedding

    We had Jeremy DJ our wedding on 4/20/2024 and he was beyond AMAZING! We got married in OBX and are from Virginia Beach, VA. I found him at the Expo in OBX last August. From the minute we signed him on till the day of our wedding, he was always on top of his game when it came to communication, professionalism, availability, and most importantly, providing ideas when needed. He also took pictures and videos that evening and those looked very professional considering he was our DJ. He went above and beyond in every aspect while also sharing his knowledge of his business. I will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone and give him 5 stars. If we ever need a DJ for whatever reason in the future, Jeremy is who we will call!!

    Best day ever!

    Jeremy is so wonderful and kind. He was super helpful with any question or concerns we had for music for our wedding. The ukulele during the ceremony was beautiful! The music sounded and amazing and kept everyone on the dance floor.

    Jeremy Russell got everyone dancing and they kept dancing all night! Very impressive musicianship and stage presence. We loved ending the night on American Pie by Don Mclean!

    Best wedding band!!

    Jeremy Russell and the Generations was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. They are extremely thorough in planning and communicate extremely well! They adapted to changes in plans and were on top of emceeing the entire night, keeping everything right on track! They had everyone on the dance floor from the first song until the last (even the encore!) We had the absolute best time and can’t recommend them enough!

    Jeremy was fantastic. All of our guests complimented on music choices and the acoustic set during happy hour. He knew what to play to get the crowd going! Also, the uplighting was so worth it! Thank you!!

    The most FUN night!

    Jeremy helped give us the most fun wedding and was such a delight to work with. In the planning stages, he was very thorough, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted to hear at what times and also the “no-plays.” During cocktail hour, his acoustics were beautiful, really setting the vibe for the whole rest of the night. We had a big dancing crowd and Jeremy absolutely gave everyone the fun atmosphere they were hoping for during the reception. We danced the night away and couldn’t have had a better time. Absolutely recommend!!!

    Really kept the party going!

    Music is something I was picky about. I love a good dance floor and hate that every single wedding plays close to the same playlist. I tried to be detailed in my no-plays but have heard from many brides that at their weddings this was not adhered to. Raymond did a fantastic job of skipping the typical hour of oldies and went right to the good stuff. He grasped the vibe well and enjoyed joking with us about the tropical storm, playing Ophelia (name of the storm) during the reception which we loved. We truly had a great time and are so thankful for him!
    Phil did our ceremony and cocktail music live acoustic, and he did an absolutely beautiful job! Having live music at the cocktail hour really elevated the atmosphere, and he is absolutely lovely! Everyone was quick to respond, and easy to plan with. I highly recommend them!

    Professional, Thorough, and Incredibly Talented

    We discovered the magic that is Phil Watson on Spotify, and we absolutely adored his voice. When we last-minute needed someone to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour, Phil was the obvious choice. Working with Jeremy, Phil, and the Outer Banks Wedding Entertainment team was nothing short of wonderful. They know what they’re doing!! Between the easy booking protocol, the thorough form to submit ceremony songs, and the pre-wedding emails with detailed information on how to best prepare for the wedding – we knew we were in good hands. Numerous guests reported that ours was the only ceremony they’ve attended where the music cues were timed correctly, and we REALLY appreciate that! Phil was so kind and talented throughout the process. Thank you to Phil, Jeremy, and the entire team for going above and beyond to make our wedding magic!

    the best of the best!

    I cant thank Jeremy and his team enough for the most memorable wedding day/night. He absolutely crushed everything from the little details of our ceremony music to the cocktail hour and reception. Our guests said it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to!!!

    On top of being a phenomenal entertainer - our wedding had to be moved indoors due to a tropical storm and the ceremony and reception spaces were the same. Without hesitation or a thought, Jeremy jumped right in to help our vendor team execute the impossible and flip our room around in no time. Ontop of that, there were power outages and non working elevators. I was so impressed with both Jeremy's professionalism, humanity and genuine happiness for my groom and I on our wedding day, despite the chaos. I will forever remember dancing my butt off and having the best day of our lives, but I will also remember how kind and genuine the team is at OBX Entertainment. Thank you Jeremy

    Jeremy is the best!

    Jeremy is the best! He DJ for our ceremony and reception and then he sang and played acoustic during our cocktail hour. He is so incredibly nice, professional and talented! We got so many compliments from our guests on how awesome he was. He was extremely easy and responsive working up to the wedding. He exceeded all expectations. Also, shoutout to Emily who helped up book Jeremy and answered any of our questions! When you book with Jeremy you are getting the best!!

    Best Party Ever!!

    Jeremy and his team are truly amazing! We had such a great time at our wedding. I knew from the moment I heard Phil singing at the OBX wedding weekend that I needed to have them for our wedding day and I'm so glad I did! The process was easy and everyone was so personable and easy to talk with. I communicated with Jeremy's assistant Emily leading up to the day and she is just awesome, attentive, and on top of everything. Responses to emails were in no more than 24 hours ever. Phil was a hit at our cocktail hour and all of our guests loved him! Truly a talented person and guests are still talking about it a month later! We had Raymond DJ at our reception and he KILLED it. We had a mixed crowd with a lot of different kinds of people and I wasn't sure how it was going to pan out but DJ Face was perfect and amazing!!! He got the vibe of our party immediately and played the perfect music. Everyone was dancing and everyone had a great time. You made our party an unforgettable one, thank you so much!!!!

    Excellent band and DJ

    Jeremy was the best - we had a band that cancelled at the last minute and he rescued us as a DJ for the night. His band was already booked for our big party and they were awesome - really excellent and adjusted their play list as they got a feel for our crowd. We couldnt be happier!!

    We have had Jeremy play for our family while on vacation twice and he is wonderful! He is a great musician, but he is also so fun and interacts with our family taking requests and even letting the kids do karaoke a bit. He is very kind, and we will definitely invite him back!

    We used Jeremy to play guitar then DJ for a family party. He was wonderful! He played all our favorites and we had fun dancing the night away.
