Skylark Music

Q: What do you wear?

Grey suits, unless given a different request.

Q: Do you learn new songs?

Yes! We're happy to learn new songs for the ceremony. We also have a huge repertoire list to choose from for the prelude and cocktail music.

Q: What makes you different from other musicians?

As a DJ, Justin brings experience from weddings and being a professional musician for over twenty years. He also teaches a music appreciation college course, so his knowledge of artists and genres is vast. As instrumentalists, we're highly trained and experienced with very high standards. Especially for ceremony music, you can be sure it will be played perfectly.

Q: Can you provide specialty, religious, or ethnic musicians?

Yes, we can hire specialty musicians. We also have experience playing music from many different cultures and religions.

Q: Do you take music requests?

Yes! We're happy to learn any songs you want for the ceremony, and Justin has couples make dinner and dancing playlists to point him in the right direction. You can be very specific, or leave more of the music choices to him.

Q: Are you fully insured?

Yes, we can provide COI's for us as an ensemble and Justin as a DJ

Q: What is your travel and break down fee?

If you're within 1.5 hours of us, there's no travel fee and we don't charge a setup or breakdown fee.

Q: Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Justin provides uplighting with his DJ setup, which helps add to to the party vibes for the reception. We don't have a photo booth (yet).

Q: Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

We can provide all your music! We usually play live as a duo for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and Justin DJ's the reception.

Q: Have you worked at our venue before?

Probably! We've been at about 70 different venues at this point. But our setup is so flexible and adaptable, we almost never run into an issue when we're at a place that's new to us.

The Best!
Skylark Music made our wedding day so much fun. From our first conversation, they were quick to respond and kept us in the loop every step of the way. They helped us build our playlist for both the ceremony and reception, which felt personal and showed they really listened to what we wanted. Justin brought creative energy to the night and got everyone on the dance floor. We'd definitely recommend Skylark Music to any couple looking for a band that cares about making your day special!!!!

Couldn't have asked for more
Working with Justin was truly incredible. My husband and I felt like we hit the jackpot finding him. Live music during the ceremony, live jazz during the cocktail hour, AND DJ services during the reception?! Not to mention, he also played the sax throughout the reception! They were amazing. If you are looking for your wedding musician, look no further.

Highly recommend!!!
My husband and I had an amazing experience with our wedding music with Skylark from start to finish. Justin and Jesse played live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and Justin DJ’d our reception. Justin was great at communicating with us both before the wedding and throughout the reception, which made everything feel easy and well organized and was wonderful to work with. It made everything feel seamless and stress-free and we knew everything was under control. Justin has a great attention to detail. We had a smaller wedding of about 50 people, and Justin did an amazing job keeping the energy up all night. He gave helpful suggestions during the reception that kept things flowing smoothly and made the night even more fun. We would absolutely recommend them!

Best DJ ever!
We first saw Justin's DJ skills (and the Skylark musicians) at a friends' wedding and knew we had to reach out to him for our own! He was incredibly collaborative, responsive, flexible, and kind. Our venue staff wanted to clone him for every event and our guests appreciated his approachable and laid-back demeanor in addition to his perfect song timing!

Justin is phenomenal - wholeheartedly recommend!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Justin for our May 2025 wedding and the entire experience was superb. We were planning the wedding from out of town, and even so, we knew right away that Justin was the right DJ for us. He is incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We had a few special requests (specific types of music, unusual transitions, a traditional ceremony) and Justin made it happen flawlessly. Choosing a DJ is one of the hardest parts of wedding planning because the team you work with will set the tone of the day, but we couldn't be happier that we got to work with Skylark Music.
