I got married in July 2025 and honestly regret not writing this review sooner. I'm writing it now because I still think about how badly the music was handled, which is frustrating considering music was one of the most important parts of our wedding. I made it extremely clear during planning that I'm a huge music person and had very specific requests. I spent hours filling out planning documents, curating playlists, and even going through the 200 most common wedding songs list crossing out all the songs we absolutely did not want played. Despite that effort, many of those exact songs were played anyway. He also completely missed our first dance by going straight into reception music instead of starting the song we had planned. When we tried to correct it, my husband and I were left standing awkwardly in the middle of the dance floor while he searched for the song. He insisted he didn't have the correct version, which wasn't true. I had to walk over to the booth myself, find the song on his system, and point it out to him so we could finally start. It was incredibly awkward and not the moment any couple wants during their first dance. Other issues included, ignoring our "do not play" list, refusing requests from close family members, arguing loudly with our wedding planner in front of guests, playing our requested last dance song randomly during the reception, then ending the night with "Don't Stop Believin'", which was explicitly listed as a DO NOT PLAY song. Right before our private last dance he even came over to ask if he had the correct song available, which didn't exactly inspire confidence. The only part of the music that went well was cocktail hour, because it was simply my Spotify playlist playing straight through. At the end of the day, I could have run Spotify myself and had a better outcome while saving the money. If music is important to you for your wedding, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. read more

If you want a DJ who is extremely professional, talented and flexible - hire Hill Country DJ. You will not regret it! We worked with Anthony, the owner of the company and our DJ for our wedding night. Throughout the entire planning process, Anthony was able to follow up with us and make sure we had all of our song selections ready to go for wedding day. The month leading up to our wedding was a stressful one, as we were so busy planning last minute details, but Anthony was so patient with us. He had no problem accommodating all of my last minute song changes (and I had several!) We met with Anthony virtually a week or two before our wedding and he guided us through our song choices. He gives you the option to choose songs for your reception playlist, but that was a challenge for us, so instead he just asked us what genres we liked (and didn't like) and went from there. On our actual wedding day, Anthony's song choices were perfect! He has a great way of reading the crowd, something you can only find in a true professional, and our dance floor was PACKED the entire night. I also have to mention how flawless our wedding ceremony was. Anthony was amazing at blending our ceremony processional songs perfectly so that 1) our family, 2) our bridal party and then 3) me and my dad's walk down the aisle was just beautiful. No awkward pauses or lapses in music. Everything was just a dream, and I will recommend Anthony and Hill Country DJ over and over again! read more

Hill Country DJ - Our first dance. - DJs Near Me

See all

My wife and I hired Hill Country DJ for our vow renewal celebration and they were top notch throughout the entire process. COVID forced us to reschedule our party twice and the team at Hill Country DJ were understanding and easy to work with through what I know must have been a tough time for them. Diane was a fantastic communicator and Erik kept the dance floor bumping throughout the night. Several of our guests commented on the fact that they had never seen a DJ with such great energy who was having as much fun as the rest of the party. They have a really cool website portal that allows you to send your music requests and event details before hand - it made the planning process fun and easy. I can't say enough good things about the folks at Hill Country DJ, and I highly recommend you book them for your event. read more

We had Erik work our wedding. He was so awesome !! We got a ton of compliments! I was a little nervous at first about not talking to the DJ until 2 weeks before, but Erik was so easy to talk to! My husband and I had a great time discussing the type of music to play with him and he did such a great job bringing it to life ! 100% would recommend! Thank you so much read more

I had my wedding 11-22-2020 with Anthony and I am so glad we chose him to DJ for us! He was super professional and very prompt on emails. A couple weeks before the wedding he made sure everything was squared away with song selections and types of music we wanted playing during the cocktail hour/dinner/reception and played exactly what we were looking for. My husband was very indecisive on his mother-son dance song and I think didn't even pick it until a day or two before the wedding and Anthony was very understanding and made sure he got it for us. On time and very nice! read more

Hired DJ Floyd for my wedding and he was awesome! My guests loved him, he was fabulous to work with, and he kept the dance floor full all night. In addition, due to a couple last minute changes, he helped my dear friend, the pianist, set up her equipment when the location had to be changed. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Hill Country DJ was awesome to work with!! We hired DJ Floyd for our wedding and were thrilled that he understood the vibe we were going for. Music is super important to us--throughout our relationship my husband has made me countless mix CDs. Many of the songs he's included were ones that we wanted to incorporate into the wedding. Some of them are obscure. The website layout was easy to use. We simply selected the songs we love, like and dislike. I especially liked being able to choose which ones we did NOT want played at the wedding. Particularly because we were shocked to see that Black Eyed Peas are popular at weddings and were so glad we could have them banned from ours. We were even able to list the more obscure songs that weren't on their list. Meeting with him prior to the wedding helped tremendously. It helped us get a better idea of our timeline and what the flow should be like. Floyd exceeded our expectations. He even miked up our friend who officiated the wedding. He's a top-notch professional and he looked really dapper on our wedding day. He captured exactly what we wanted and didn't miss a beat! We loved being able to select and discuss each stage of our day, from the pre-ceremony music to the processional, cocktail hour, first dance and more. It was so cool to see our guests, young and old singing and dancing to the music. And we're so grateful for allowing us ONE MORE SONG (yes, we had two encores)!! We would definitely recommend Hill Country DJ, especially if music is important to you. Our family and friends had a blast, thanks for keepin' it going, Floyd!! read more

I've never written a one-star review, but I feel a responsibility to warn others so they don't have the same experience we did. It's been about a year since our wedding. It was a lovely day, but if I could have changed one thing, it would be the DJ.  In a nutshell, the DJ ignored many of the song requests we'd given him before the reception, lacked MC skills, was a poor communicator (both before and during the reception), and was disorganized.  We'd hoped that hiring a DJ would simplify things on the big day and minimize stress, but it turned out to do the opposite.  I initially liked that Hill Country had a website where you choose songs for different parts of the night. But for reasons unknown, many of those requests were ignored, and DJ Nick played his own songs instead, including some we'd asked him not to play. We'd expressed that having an MC was important to us to help with the flow of events, yet he seemed uncomfortable, inexperienced, and awkward. I was surprised that the DJ had very little recollection of what we'd previously asked him to do and had to be given a lot of direction during the reception. Some of my guests and I were holding back from just taking the mic ourselves.  The good news is that Hill Country refunded a portion of what they charged us after recognizing their mistakes. We can't change how they affected our wedding though. Don't make the same mistake we did! read more

We hired Hill Country DJ from the list of approved Vendors at our venue. We had Nick as our DJ and he was wonderful to work with! We met with him ahead of time to ensure we were all on the same page before hiring, and it was wonderful to see how prepared Nick was, and how laid back he could be! He also suggested our coordinator (Mockingbird Lane Events). The two of them worked so well together, it was like a well-oiled machine! About a week before the wedding, we virtually met with Nick to go over final details and ensure he had pronunciations of everyone's names correct. He made us feel at ease, and ensured us that he would be looking to us, and our coordinator for any cues or needs. When there was an empty dance floor, he immediately adjusted to a new song to get people up and dancing. He checked with us prior to our wedding day about styles and types of music that were goes and no-goes. Nick was truly a joy to work with! The company has a wonderful website where you can put songs you love, hate, or are "eh" about, to help guide tastes of music. They also address general timelines, and specific songs for everything. It was all very user friendly and so easy to work with! read more

Floyd Banks was a fantastic DJ at our wedding this week. He was a pro, ultra flexible and played fantastic music. We couldn't have been happier with him and Hill Country. He even improvised a killer call back joke to the best man's speech and had the place rolling in laughter before our first dance. Dude straight killed it! read more

DJ Floyd was awesome! Everyone was dancing and getting crazy and I love how he incorporated songs that I specifically requested (even if one of them was definitely not going to get people out on the dance floor, and I wanted it played because it was an inside joke for a big group of the people there). He kept a lot of people out on the dance floor all the way up until it was time to go. And even though we had been dancing for hours, a lot of guests weren't ready to stop! I had multiple friends come up to me saying it was one of the most fun receptions they had been to and a BIG part of that goes to Floyd and keeping the party hopping all the way through! He definitely kept in mind requests that I made for songs. He also helped me think of genres of music and songs for specific parts of the wedding I hadn't even thought about and had no idea of. Floyd was also flexible and even when there were multiple changes about who was giving toasts/speeches/if there was going to be a father/daughter dance, he was good with all of it and just did his thing. Would recommend Hill Country DJ/ DJ Floyd for anyone that wants to have a lot of dancing at their wedding- he's great at reading the crowd and keeping people out on the dance floor! read more

Nick was awesome! We thought we might be a picky couple when it came to our music, so we created a long playlist of songs and a long "do not play list" for Nick. On our final meeting he ensured us that he would stick to the list and also feel the crowd out to keep the dance floor popping. He did a great job! Everyone, including me, was dancing all night long. (in fact, this is where I spent most of my night) Thanks, Nick! read more

Everyone we worked with was responsive and helpful. The set up was seamless and our DJ Nick played the songs we wanted and did a great job during our announcements. Would recommend them for sure! read more

Hill Country DJ is a wonderful vendor. DJ Nick MC'd our wedding in May and he was tremendous! I highly recommend him. From our first consultation at his home to the end of the reception, Nick was a first-class professional. He knows what it takes to ensure that people have a good time, and I could tell he was gauging his music selection to fit the mood of the crowd. His music got many people dancing! After the wedding I was told many times how much they enjoyed reception, and DJ Nick is due a fair amount of credit for that. Hire Hill Country DJ - you won't regret it! read more

We had Mitch on the ones and twos for our wedding on 5/17/2014. We planned our entire wedding and knew that our guests would remember two things from the reception: the food and the music. We had the food covered, but knew that the music had to be bumping. During our engagement, we went to several weddings and at each wedding, we requested the DJ's business card or ask the bride/groom (a few weeks after the event) about their DJ. If we liked the DJ, we put them in our Yes category. If not, we put them in our No category. This allowed us to focus on DJs that we liked. We liked what we heard at one wedding and asked about their DJ and was sent to GreenBelt DJ. Unfortunately, they were booked for our day, so they sent us to their sister company Hill Country DJ. We interviewed Mitch and liked what we heard. We hired Mitch for our wedding. There was very little contact until 3-4 weeks before the event. We met with Mitch 9 days before our event to go over the timeline and music selection for our entry, first dances, cake cutting, garter toss, boquet toss, and last dances. He asked us our music selection and told him that we liked Motown, classic 80's, and early 90s hip-hop. He caught our vibe and knew what to bring. Mitch was the MC and worked well with our day-of coordinator. She kept things on schedule and he did the announcing. The wedding party made their entry and he announced us without a problem. He played Jazz and Motown during dinner. After dinner, we had our toasts and first dances. As the sun was up, our party was pretty tamed, but as the sun set, the dance floor started to bump and pretty soon, we had a steady diet of hip hop from the 90s and the noughts (00s). There was a soul train, people doing the worm down the train, and some people doing break dancing. This was due to Mitch playing the right music to create the right mood. We are glad that we choose Hill Country DJ as our music provider. You will not have to worry about the music if you hire them for your wedding. read more

Nick did a great job at our wedding! When we met up with him during our preplanning session, he asked a lot of great questions and made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. He was super easy to work with and our guests enjoyed the music during our reception. He was able to get everyone out on the dance floor with the first song, which was very impressive. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! read more

We were so happy that we picked Floyd as our DJ! My wife and I have totally different taste in music, but somehow Floyd managed to find songs that fit us both perfectly! The dance floor was always packed and we had so many compliments on how fun the reception was. Thank you Floyd! I know some of my friends booked you for their wedding as well, so I can't wait to see you at the next one! read more

Mitch was awesome at my daughter's wedding last weekend! Professional and spot on with his dance music selections. Great job reading what our guests wanted to hear. Barely noticed him during set up, which was good since everything else was crazy! Thank you, thank you, thank you Mitch and Hill Country DJ! read more

Wonderful DJ company to work with. To start off, Anthony (the owner) answered all my questions and made me feel at ease about their services. Not pushy like others I talked to. Then our DJ, Nick, kept the flow of my daughter's wedding going from pre-ceremony music, ceremony selections, and of course, the dancing. During the pre-wedding meeting, he asked detailed questions, made helpful suggestions, took lots of notes then at the wedding he followed our requests to the tee. He arrived on time and took care of everything audio-wise, dressed professionally and really made the whole evening run smoothly. Also the bride and groom were able to make their selections and play lists online ahead of time at their leisure which was great. Highly recommend! read more

We hired Hill Country DJ to be our wedding DJ at our reception. DJ Mitch was awesome! We didn't have much of a list ready, so he talked us through it and gave us some options. We gave him an idea of what we were looking for in regards to dinner music and dance music and he knew exactly what we looking for. The dinner music was mixed very well and some friends commented how well it accompanied the dinner. The dance music was great and got everyone on the floor! Mitch was very flexible and professional when there were little hiccups in the wedding schedule. The wedding was a success! Thank you for everything you have done Mitch and Hill Country DJ! read more

We had DJ Flloyd Banks DJ our wedding and he was fantastic. He kept the dance party going and people loved the music. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. read more

We had the pleasure of Floyd's DJ skills at our wedding. In preparing for the day, Floyd asked great questions and took the time to get to know our music vibe. We wanted to share our own playlists just so he could get a better sense of our taste and he was very open to this. I'm from Texas but live in California and he was very easy to work with remotely. We received so many compliments on how fun the music was for the dance portion of the night and all of the music for the ceremony was seamless. We had some last minute layout changes due to weather and Floyd was flexible and didn't miss a beat. I also think that Floyd was a very good value for the quality of his DJ skills. Thanks Floyd! read more
