Meet Dillon
"Amplify Entertainment did an outstanding job at our daughter's wedding! This is an excellent company. Nate is a pleasure to work with, and has a great selection of DJ'so to choose from. Dillon was our DJ, and did a great job on the lighting and music selection. He is full of energy, and kept everyone dancing and having a good time! We have received so many compliments on the wedding, and what a great time everyone had!"

"Most people fear their wedding day won't measure up to everyone's expectations and I know I feared it wouldn't be fun for my guests because we weren't serving alcohol and I was a nervous wreck. But the DJ Dillon was so awesome! He not only kept everyone involved and dancing, he took requests and was so interactive, I was quite impressed with how well our special day turned out to be the most amazing and fun experience for not only us but all of our guests as well!! They were very professional and adapted everything to meet our needs and beyond! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for highly talented DJ's for entertainment at any event, especially weddings where kids are present! It was enjoyable for all ages and I couldn't have imagined a better turn out! Any future event in need of a DJ or any outstanding entertainment services I know who to call!"

"Awesome job Dillon!! He and his assistant (Drew) were super sweet and gave us exactly what we wanted for ceremony and reception. It was a beach ceremony and it was raining the entire time, they remained patient and willing to play for us no matter what. Music was a blast at the reception and we are very pleased, thank you so so much! Extremely well run business."

"We loved our experience with Amplify! When I was searching for a DJ, I knew right away after checking out the Amplify website that I wanted to hire them. And I got even more excited after meeting with Nate and telling him our vision for our reception, styles of music we liked, etc. They really invested time in making sure our reception reflected our personalities. Not just the dancing music - but the cocktail hour, toasts, announcements, everything. They were willing to play all of our weird indie music requests, didn't play cheesy songs, and didn't do anything ridiculous or embarrassing during our reception (I have seen some weird DJs...) Dillon was such a fun DJ - we only met with him once before the wedding, and communicated briefly the week-of... but when we showed up to the reception it was like seeing an old friend! He was super fun & very flexible. He patiently worked with us and the delays/time changes of the day. He was great at keeping everyone entertained and the reception rolling - all while making sure everyone was relaxed and having a great time. I honestly had no worries during my wedding reception and wish I could have slowed it all down to enjoy it more! Random highlight: Dillon found an acoustic version of the song we played to walk into our reception, and played it during our cake-cutting. My husband and I both got excited hearing it again, and we even had guests comment on how beautiful it was. It was the little things like that gem that made it so special! :) I highly recommend Amplify - great time for the guests AND the couple! Not your average DJs, and very professional and experienced. Thanks Dillon, Nate & Amplify!"

"DJ Dillon was great. He was on time, and executed our wedding ceremony's music plan perfectly. He was also able to accommodate our specific reception music requests as well. We appreciate Dillon's cooperation in calling out the answers to our corny wedding quiz. He did a great job, no drama, and got our family out there dancing! We didn't have to worry about a thing."

What is your favorite song to play while DJing?
I love when I get to play the song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness. It’s such a fun, silly rock song, that occasionally fits well into a wedding environment.
What are some of your favorite music artists?
Some of my favorite artists include the bands Anberlin,Ellie Goulding, Smallpools, Third Eye Blind, Switchfoot, and Owl City, 30 Seconds To Mars and Donna Lewis.
What has been your most memorable wedding experience so far?
I was asked to play guitar during the ceremony of an old friend from high school. I played “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong while his bride-to-be walked down the isle. It was a heartwarming experience, especially since I’d known the groom for such a long time.

“Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities!

I love tea + Star Wars, traveling, backpacking, long walks on the beach and playing guitar in my band Brightside!
