    Marcus was fantastic!

    We absolutely loved having Marcus DJ our wedding! He did the sound and music for our outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was an absolute professional who was so easy to work with! We also loved the app he used to organize the timeline and select music. Would definitely recommend him for any event!

    DJ Marcus Nitemakers Entertainment

    We loved working with Marcus. We heard so many compliments about the music and he kept our dance floor packed which was our goal. During the planning phase, he was clear and prompt with his communication. We never felt like we were questioning anything and we felt confident as he handled our ceremony and reception music and MC duties. Glad we went with Nitemakers Entertainment!

    Highly Recommend Marcus!

    Marcus is thorough, very professional and helped us ensure that our event was fantastic. He stayed in touch with us throughout the planning process, and his experience was clear from the detailed questions and suggestions he provided along the way! He had me and my wife on the dance floor all night.

    10/10 Experience with DJ Marcus

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Marcus from Nitemakers Entertainment on our wedding day, and he truly made the night unforgettable. From our first conversation, he was responsive to every question and accommodated all of our requests without hesitation. Marcus had an incredible ear for reading the crowd and kept our guests engaged on the dance floor the entire evening. One of our favorite moments was when he surprised us by asking everyone to circle the dance floor while we shared a dance to one of our must-play songs, creating an intimate and special memory we'll treasure forever. His announcing kept things fun and personal throughout the night, and his skill at mixing music was flawless. We can't recommend Marcus and Nitemakers Entertainment enough to any couple looking for a DJ who genuinely cares about making your day perfect!

As an MC, I’m professional and clear—no cheesy lines, just confident announcements that keep things moving while keeping the spotlight on you.
Absolutely! I welcome song requests—both before the event and during it. I encourage clients to share must-play songs, do-not-plays, and overall vibe preferences ahead of time so I can build the perfect set. During the event, I’m happy to take guest requests as long as they fit the energy and your preferences. My goal is to keep the dance floor packed while making sure the music reflects your vision.
