The music fan's wedding DJ
For those seeking songs off-the-beaten playlist or something more adventurous.
(Particularly if you really like 20th Century sounds and/or vinyl!)
This is your wedding, and I will be devoted to playing music that is an expression of who you are. With my professionalism and experience I will make sure that your reception is a one-of-a-kind event.

You want a unique and memorable music experience for your reception
I work best when the music at your wedding actually sounds like you. Instead of dropping a generic, one-size-fits-all playlist, we collaborate on song choices and key moments so the soundtrack reflects your taste and your guests. You know your people better than I do — my job is to take your ideas, fill in the gaps with complementary music, and deploy everything at the right moments for maximum good times.
You want music that brings everyone in
I love weddings where the celebration feels shared. My approach is to try to bring in as many of your guests as we can into the celebration, from ages eight to eighty. I’m less interested in the latest DJ trends and more interested in making sure your entire room feels part of the moment.
You want an experienced, steady hand guiding the night
Weddings are live events with a lot of moving parts, and I bring decades of experience, technical knowledge, and professionalism. I love working with wedding planners and venue coordinators to make sure that everything goes as close to schedule as an organic event like a wedding reception can, while being flexible and in the moment as things change and rearrange.
Do not hire Mr. Soul Motion if…
You want a lot of EDM or hits of the day, played in a highly digitally manipulated mix
This is not my vibe. If you want that, there are lots of DJs around town that can do a great job for you. That’s not to say I won’t play some contemporary hits, but I’d rather they be ones you actually want to hear, so we can decide what those are and incorporate them into the mix.
You want lights, hype, and a club-style atmosphere
I don’t bring lights, strobes, or hype, and I’m not trying to turn a wedding tent into a club. I focus on the music and on hitting your important moments. I’m happy to MC and help with flow and traffic direction, but I won’t shout catchphrases, force group dancing, or try to make myself the center of attention. Your people are there for each other, not for me.
You don’t really want to dance at your dance party
In my experience, wedding reception dance parties where the bride and groom spend all their time socializing are usually pretty boring wedding reception dance parties. If you’d rather spend the whole night socializing, I respect that — but if you don’t dance, most of your guests probably won’t either. That being said, if you don’t want ANYONE to dance at your wedding, hit me up…I’m into trying that out.
Let's talk about your reception
Every wedding is different, and the best way to find out if I’m the right DJ for yours is to have a conversation. Reach out and tell me a bit about your plans, or check my schedule to see if your date is available.

Everything you need to know about working together
I can, but I don’t assume you want that. If having vinyl as part of your reception really matters to you, I’m happy to talk about an analog-focused setup. That said, records are heavy, turntables are heavier, and vinyl weddings are a higher-cost package. For most receptions, digital playback makes the most sense and still allows for a very organic, music-forward approach.
I expect some collaboration. You know your tastes and your guests better than I do, so we’ll work together on song choices and key moments. My job is to fill in the gaps, make things flow, and deploy everything at the right time. If you want a completely hands-off, pre-made playlist, I’m probably not the right DJ for you.
That depends on you. I tend to work best with couples who like a mix of familiar favorites and slightly off-the-beaten-path choices, especially if you’re into 20th-century music. That said, this is still a wedding reception — finding the right balance of “cool” and “familiar” is part of the job.
Yes. I’m comfortable on the mic and happy to help guide the night, make announcements, and keep things moving. I keep it clear and calm, not hype-driven. Your guests are there for you and each other, not for a DJ performance.
No. I don’t bring lighting rigs, strobes, or club effects, and I’m not trying to turn your reception into a nightclub. I focus on music, timing, and your important moments. If you want additional atmosphere, I’m not opposed to it — I just don’t provide it.
Absolutely. I enjoy collaborating with planners, coordinators, and venue staff to keep things running smoothly. Weddings rarely go exactly as planned, and experience matters when timelines shift. I stay flexible, communicative, and focused on supporting the overall flow of the event.
I have traveled to do weddings all over the south and am glad to discuss what traveling out of the area to do your wedding would entail.
