    HIRE THIS MAN FOR YOUR WEDDING! DJ Maskell completely transformed our wedding planning process. From the initial phone call, we could tell that he was experienced and reliable. He showed genuine interest in understanding the vibe of the wedding and incorporating our interests. Without overstepping, he was eager to share his industry wisdom and offered a wedding planning spreadsheet template that became our holy grail for staying organized during the process. The day of the wedding, he was reliable and professional. We had two ceremonies in one day, and several of our vendors expressed concern that people wouldn't want to stick around for dancing. Wrong! He kept the dance floor full all night with positive energy and good mixing. He even adjusted the lighting and audio to help me lead a line dancing tutorial on stage :). We feel like his pricing was a steal given his included lighting package that transformed our venue. Overall, could not have been happier with our experience!

    DJ Maskell was the life of the party at our wedding! From the moment we first spoke, his communication was clear, helpful, fun, and beyond organized. He was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our questions and requests. The quality of his work was unreal - he truly had the dance floor packed all night with his show-stopping performance that melted the house down. Mark is not just a DJ, but a professional on all fronts. He kept the party going and our guests left wanting more, all because of him. Mark is a wonderful person through and through, and a true gem. He is a must-have for your wedding, as he truly loves what he does and will stop at nothing to make sure you have the time of your life.

    If you're looking for a DJ who goes *above and beyond* to make your wedding or event absolutely perfect, look no further than DJ Maskell! From the moment we first spoke with Mark Maskell, we knew he was the right fit. We interviewed a few DJs, but the instant connection and professionalism we experienced during our first Zoom call with him set him apart. Mark shared a detailed Google Doc with us during that call—a thoughtfully organized template covering everything from music planning to seating arrangements, budget, guest list, and even a photography section. His philosophy is truly remarkable: even if you don’t book him, he still wants to help guide your planning process. That level of generosity and care is rare! When it came to our wedding day, DJ Maskell exceeded every expectation. He turned our reception into a high-energy, club-like atmosphere, complete with stunning dance floor lighting and uplighting to set the perfect mood for the venue. Months before our big day, he went out of his way to visit the venue, taking pictures and videos to help us envision the space—a thoughtful gesture we deeply appreciated. On the day itself, Mark was a lifesaver. From ensuring our officiant had a microphone to running up with a spare when we began reading our vows, he was always one step ahead. He handled last-minute changes—like switching the groomsmen's entrance song and adding a bridesmaid’s speech to the programming—with ease and professionalism. Mark even offered practical tips throughout the evening, like suggesting the perfect time to mingle with guests during the meal or reminding us to check our teeth before photos (which was surprisingly helpful!). And when it was time to hit the dance floor, he *brought the party*! Everyone had a blast, thanks to his incredible playlists and his ability to read the room. He also sent us Spotify playlists in advance to help us get a feel for his style, and his planning spreadsheet had space for must-play songs and a "do not play" list, ensuring the music perfectly matched our vibe. DJ Maskell was more than just a DJ—he was a planner, problem-solver, and all-around fantastic person to work with. We can’t recommend him enough! If you want someone who genuinely cares about making your wedding or event unforgettable, DJ Maskell is the one to call. Thank you, Mark, for making our special day truly magical!

  • Mark is amazing!

    We booked Mark to DJ on our wedding day, but he did so much more than that. We didn’t have a coordinator, as it was a smaller wedding, so Mark stepped up and essentially acted as the coordinator. We had several zoom calls leading up to the wedding to touch base and run through everything. He offered a ton of good advice and details we wouldn’t have thought of. He came a day early to set up all of his stuff, so that the wedding day would be smoother and less stressful. He is energetic and upbeat, which was much needed during all the emotional tears throughout the day. The lighting/light show was beyond incredible for the dance party, photos couldn’t do it justice. He played all of our must-play songs, and definitely got the vibe of what music we like for other moments. He is very self-sufficient with travel and set up, which is a huge relief when having to manage everything else. He has a wealth of knowledge in the wedding space, extremely attentive to detail, and can do it all. He really cares about your wedding day being the best it can be. Highly recommend using Mark!
