Our dance floor was packed all night!

If you want a DJ that will keep your dance floor going all night long, look no further; Spark Entertainment and DJ D Jones (Duerell) are who you’re looking for! Duerell artfully engages the room and keeps the energy fresh, fun, and flowing 😎

We actually started out thinking we wanted a band, and when we were disappointed by those options, we were at a loss because we had only experienced “cheesy” DJs at other weddings we had attended and did not want that vibe. Our wedding planners recommended DJ D Jones, and we could not have made a better choice going with him. The unique thing about Duerell is that he listens to your suggestions and preferences, and then builds off them in the moment, so you have a constantly bumping playlist that is curated to your tastes. He reads the vibe of the room and adjusts accordingly to make sure the energy never drops.

He was also so accommodating and helpful to us throughout the planning process. We were very particular about the songs we wanted played during the hora, and he made sure to play only the list we had given him for that portion of the dancing. In one of our planning meetings before the wedding, he heard how much we wanted the dance floor energy to be high, and suggested a short dance set immediately after cocktail hour (then worked with our planners to make sure it fit into the timeline), and that really set the bar for the evening. He also (unbeknownst to me) worked with my parents to play a special audio recording during their speech that they had sent him prior to the wedding.

Literally everyone has raved to us about how much FUN they had at our wedding, and that is thanks to Duerell and Spark Entertainment. Don’t hesitate to book them, you will not be disappointed!

Great Experience with Spark!

We worked with Spark Entertainment for our wedding. Every interaction we had with the team at Spark was excellent. They are extremely responsive and transparent throughout the process. They have a portal with anything you’ll need during the planning process, including the ability to add “must play” and “do not play” songs. DJ Sik Wit It DJ’d our wedding and was a great emcee as well. We wanted to cut a verse out of our first dance song and DJ Sik Wit It was able to cut it out and even shared it with us ahead of time to ensure we liked it. Spark provided microphones/audio support throughout the ceremony and dinner/speeches and were flexible with the venue’s audio needs/layout. We truly felt like we were in good hands and didn’t have to worry about this piece of the wedding planning process. We had a great experience with Spark and would definitely recommend!

Professional, Fun, High Energy

Couldn't be happier with Spark Entertainment group as a company as a whole as well as our DJ for the evening, D. Jones. The whole process from beginning to end was incredibly professional and the night of the wedding itself was an absolute blast thanks to D Jones! You cannot go wrong with this combo!
