Background
Ask Lane what his favorite type of music is and he’ll have a hard time giving you an answer. The truth is he likes music from literally every genre, except maybe polka (no offense, polka fans!). He’s been rocking everything from weddings and company parties to Quinceñeras and mitzvahs for Amplify since 2014, but weddings are his bread and butter.
When he’s announcing the wedding party and the bride and groom for their grand introduction into the reception, Lane channels his inner event rockstar and trust -- it works. When it’s time to dance, Lane brings enough energy to get the crowd going, but he’s not overbearing on the mic. If the crowd on the dance floor gets thin he switches tactics to find the right vibe and bring it back. He describes it as a game of reading the crowd and anticipating what they need to hear to keep the party jumping and he acknowledges that it’s never the same for any two groups.
When he’s not creating magic on the dance floor, you might find Lane at home with his wife and four little kids. Or at home working for a national education nonprofit trying to help kids in need get access to a high-quality education. Or at home building himself a home office in the backyard so he can hide from his four kids and get some work done.
After all these years of watching couples share their vows and say, "I do," Lane still finds each wedding touching. And every time, it makes him think of how much he loves his own wife and how she deserves the best he can give her. Ultimately, for Lane, DJing is one part love of music, and the other part... just love.

“Amplify provided fantastic entertainment for our wedding. Lane worked with us and our wedding planner to create a great wedding reception schedule. He respected our wishes for style of music and was easy to work with both prior to the wedding and on the big day. Would recommend Amplify and Lane.”
Chase + Ashlyn
“DJ Lane and Amplify made our wedding! My wife and I had three things we felt we needed to be perfect at our wedding; The venue, the photographer and videographer, and the DJ! Everything about our wedding was perfect, and somehow DJ Lane was able to take perfection one step further! It’s been three weeks since our wedding, and we are still having people reach out to us with comments about how amazing our wedding was. DJ Lane was somehow able to get 100 people up and moving through our our reception and Amplified our ceremony. The process of working with Amplify was very simple and the whole team is very focused on making the day perfect. Thank you to Amplify and DJ Lane for making our day even better than we imagined it would be! If you are looking for a DJ, we cannot recommend Amplify enough!”
Chase + Prances
“Lane did an EXCELLENT job for our wedding! Spend the time to meet with him in the days leading up to your event and do your best to answer his questionnaire and his questions and he will provide the perfect soundtrack for your event. No exaggeration, but I lost count of how many guests commented to me, “This DJ is awesome!”
Elmer + Kay
“We couldn’t have found a better DJ company for our special day. Amplify made our day so special and so much fun! DJ Lane was absolutely amazing and he did everything we wanted and more! You won’t regret booking him for your big day!! I highly recommend Amplify!!”
Taylor + Bobby Ray
“We asked Lane to be a part of our big day and we could not be happier to have him included in our day! He brought the reception to life! There was not a single lull on the dance floor and he had amazing crowd involvement! If you’re looking for a DJ that will make you feel special and keep everyone having a BLAST, ask for Lane!!! You will not be disappointed!”
Katie + Dennis
“Amplify was easily one of our favorite vendors at our wedding – our easiest, most professional, trustworthy vendor! Nate was very responsive, organized, and enthusiastic the whole way through. They have the process down perfectly starting from initial inquiry all the way to the event. They also offer lots of options and can be flexible if you need extra equipment, extra rentals, etc. Lane was our DJ and he was great! He made sure he had all of the details down and kept the dancing going – in fact, we even moved our grand exit later because everyone was having such a good time! Highly recommend.”
Delaney + Cody
“Absolutely incredible! I want to thank Lane for doing an amazing job at our wedding, and Amplify for being very detailed and organized! We were very impressed with how detailed the questionnaire was, it had things that we never would have thought of if we had not filled it out. We could not have hired a better company/DJ, and we are more than 100% satisfied with our decision. Lane played the perfect music all night, and everything flowed seamlessly from the ceremony to the last song of the night. We told him to expect a party and he did not disappoint!! Our dance floor was lively all night and we truly had so much fun. We also love how Amplify got to know us as a couple in order to fit us with a DJ who matched our personalities. We feel that Lane was a perfect match and I could not be any happier with how everything went. Thank you again, we highly recommend!”
Allison + Colby
“Congratulations, you’ve found Amplify and you can stop looking – you’ve found the right partner for your event. We worked with Amplify for our wedding and it was one of the easiest parts of the process. Nate at Amplify was very professional and helped us connect with a DJ who would be a good fit. There is an efficient online and over the phone interview process to make sure everyone is on the same page. Our DJ, Lane, was fantastic at cueing the crowd and reading the room throughout the night. Thanks Lane! 10/10 would be a repeat customer for the next party.”
Katherine + Louie
“We couldn’t ask for more! Nate was an absolute pleasure to work with and set us up with a DJ that blew our expectations out of the water. I have no words to express how great DJ Lane was. He doubled as a coordinator that kept everything flowing perfectly, a hype man and an energetic presence that kept the dance floor packed. Every guest I’ve spoken to has had nothing but positive things to say about Lane! Thanks for helping our dream come true.”
Courtney + Garrett
“Amplify was FREAKING AWESOME!! Their customer service was on point, friendly, and just the best. Nate has done an awesome job with the company and has gathered an awesome team! Our DJ Lane was the best!!! He was very detailed and organized. He could read the crowd very well and kept the reception alive down to the final hours. My wife and I are super grateful for the hard work and care that Lane put into the reception. He will forever be a huge reason for the memories that my wife, our families, our friends and myself will have!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!”
Keith
“Best DJs ever! Amplify was the PERFECT choice for our wedding and we could not have had a better experience with anyone else! They were so easy to work with and made sure we got exactly what we wanted when it came to a DJ. They customize the experience to you which makes all the difference! Lane was perfect with keeping high energy on the dance floor and moving things along with our schedule. We chose Amplify over any DJs in the Pensacola area and had them travel over and it was well worth it!”
Emily
“I used Amplify’s services for my wedding and I cannot emphasize enough how great they are! The CEO Nate was our main contact: he was professional, friendly, dedicated, communicative, and informative. We booked Anita to play cello for the ceremony and Lane was our DJ for the reception. They BOTH exceeded my expectations! The ceremony was elegant and beautiful thanks to the cellist. And the reception was an absolute blast, Lane made it fun and made sure everyone heard their favorites, even my 5FDP! Despite our strange song choices and varied musical tastes, they made it work perfectly and smiled the whole time. Amplify makes sure to accommodate your needs and truly personalizes every detail. Everyone at Amplify was so easy to work with and personable. This company is in my top 5 best businesses I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not to mention they’re a local business. No matter what you’re looking for, they have it and will make your big day perfect!”
Jessica + Nicholas
“What can I say that has not already been said by so many other satisfied reviewers? You cannot go wrong with choosing Amplify! Nate helped recommend a DJ to us, and our first choice, Lane, was available. Lane was a pleasure to work with! He was equally responsive, professional and enthusiastic as Nate. I was a pretty type A bride, and I ended up giving Lane a two page detailed list of music I wanted played during specific parts of the night, and although he requested that I give him a few of my absolute must plays – he ended up playing all my songs anyway! For the rest of the time, he of course played other awesome music and everyone was out on the dance floor most of the entire night! It was the perfect night filled with fun and dancing just as I envisioned it!”
Alexis + John Paul
“Amplify did an amazing job at our wedding! We had their live band for our ceremony and Lane as our DJ at the reception; they both did everything we could have asked for and more! Their band at the ceremony played perfect renditions of the songs we wanted and Lane did a great job keeping the party going and rolling with the twists at the reception. Kept the party going! Cannot recommend these guys enough!”
Morgan + Brandon
“I totally recommend Amplify! DJ Lane did an awesome job at my Quinceañera! He did a good job balancing the English and Latin music. We all had an awesome time!!”
Rosemary
“Crowd pleaser! We had Lane who worked with us to find what worked for our demographic. The music was great all the way around. He felt the room and played what worked for us. The hurricane threw me a curve ball and I was very behind sending Lane my info and music yet he was never anything except nice and accommodating. I highly recommend Nate, Lane, and the Amplify gang! Thank you!”
Terri + Micah
“Amplify was nothing short of amazing for our wedding. The whole process was smooth and easy from beginning to end. Lane made sure our dance floor was packed the entire night and incorporated all of our requests. He was very flexible day of and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ ?”
Ashley + Jeff
“Nate and Lane were exceptional. They were quick about making contact and easy to work with. Their expertise and flexibility to make some last-minute changes made the day even more special. Would highly recommend. We had positive feedback from all our guests and vendors as well. Will use again.”
Katie + Tanner
“Amplify is great to work with! They make everything so easy and we had everything go off without any hiccups! They really cater to your wants, so your big day is just right. We were so happy with how everything turned out!”
Callie + Carl
“We could not have been happier with Amplify! Lane was the DJ for our event and he was wonderful. He played music that was exactly our taste (which can deviate from typical wedding music) and he totally nailed the vibe we were going for. He literally kept the dance floor packed from the first song until the last; people had to dance on the grass outside of the dance floor because there was not enough room to hold all the people that were jamming out to the music he played. You will be in good hands with Amplify — we cannot recommend them enough!”
Megan + Mike
“We hired Lane with Amplify to be the sound director for both our wedding ceremony and reception. Any time that I had a question or concern, either Lane or Nate would promptly respond! My husband and I met with Lane the week of our wedding to go over final details, and was so pleased with how calm and accommodating Lane was! He planned to arrive the day of, with plenty of time to set up and ensure he was ready to start on time. All went as planned, and Lane played an awesome mixture of music that appealed to our guests and got them on the dance floor! We ended up extending the entertainment for an hour because it was just that good! Definitely recommend Amplify — thank you Lane and Nate for helping us make our wedding unforgettable!”
Cate + Keith
“After having a DJ back out of our wedding three weeks prior to our wedding, I called and spoke with Nate and he was more than eager to help anyway he could. He was very quick to respond to emails or phone calls. Lane was the DJ at our wedding and he did an amazing job. He stepped in and helped more than he was supposed to. Thanks guys for making our day so great!”
Jessica + Jason
“These guys made the difference in our DIY wedding being successful. They were so professional, so knowledgable, so experienced, they literally saved the day. So many little steps we would have missed, or didn’t know how to do properly, things we didn’t think of, all taken care of by Nate and Lane (our DJ). They are professional and experienced and asked just the right questions, and had the documentation to put our minds at ease and trust them with everything. They even made sure to find a DJ who was bilingual so our Spanish-speaking families were not left out. We can’t recommend them enough!”
Alfonso + Annarely
“Wedding planning is hard, especially if you don’t enjoy planning. Fortunately, Amplify makes the music element SUPER EASY for you once you get to that part. They are extremely thorough with the planning process from their packages and add-ons to the ceremony and reception planners. Communication and payment are also a breeze (really loved that I could make multiple payments online at any time). We worked with Lane and he did an awesome job orchestrating our wedding and playing our must-have songs AND keeping the crowd going. We would choose them again in a heartbeat for our wedding!”
Asia + Matthew
“We had an amazing experience with Amplify! We first met with Nate who is great about answering questions and keeping everything organized. Lane was our DJ, and I cannot say enough good things about him! At our meeting he was very receptive to our wants, and also gave some great suggestions. At the wedding he kept everything running so smoothly that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything. We got to have fun and enjoy our day. He was engaging with all our guests, and kept the party going all night! I am so grateful to Lane and Amplify for making my wedding day so memorable!”
Sydney + Bradley
“We had Amplify DJ our wedding and they were AWESOME! The whole process from start to finish was great. Nate helped create a package that best reflected our needs for the event and walked us through everything they would be able to do leading up to the wedding as well as during. Our DJ, Lane, was an excellent host and helped keep the flow of the evening moving smoothly and was able to make adjustments as the evening progressed. The music selection was great and everyone at the wedding had a great time. Amplify goes above and beyond and does more than just DJ your wedding, they help ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend using Amplify, they are FAR better then just creating a playlist or having a friend DJ. Thank you again Amplify and Lane for adding your professional and personals touches to our wedding day – it made it all the more special.”
Jillian + Nate
“Based on the expertise of our wedding planner, we worked with Amplify for our wedding. My (now) husband and I are very into music, so we had a lot of ideas. Nate and Lane (our DJ) were very accommodating to our ideas, but also helped up plan a party that all of our guests would enjoy. Lane nailed the vibe we were going for at our ceremony, he made our first kiss a very special moment, I’ll never forget it. Based on some of our favorite artists, Lane came up with an amazing play list that we loved, along with everyone at our wedding. Hotline Bling was a highlight, and Lane’s got moves. Beyond the music, which is obviously a crucial element, Lane emceed the reception. He’s got a great personality and made the event seamless. Professionally, Amplify were completely on point. We met several times before our wedding day and they painstakingly tried every Pantone setting on their uplighting to create the perfect color. The day of the wedding, I showed up to the ceremony and everything was set up. I walked into the reception and the uplighting was beautiful, the dance lighting was set up, Lane was announcing us – the whole thing was seamless. Basically, they were perfect. Well priced, nice people who made our wedding unique, but fun for everyone. Can’t say enough great things.”
Lindsay + Nic
“I worked with Nate and Lane at Amplify and they were both so great! Nate was a blast to work with and very helpful! Lane was my wedding day DJ and he was great as well! He was very good at feeling out the guests to play the best music for the crowd and knew exactly how to keep things running smoothly throughout the night!”
Morgan + Brian
“Our guests are still laughing with us at the uplifting, sweet, fun, and funny processional! DJ Lane made sure the wedding guests could clearly hear the officiant and the vows, emceed the festivities flawlessly, and kept everyone out on the dance floor —- even outside in 40 degree weather. We happily grew our family on that day, but Nate and Lane amplified the wedding!”
Tracy (Mother of the Bride)
“Amplify was a great DJ service. The lighting and add-ons to their packages are unique and technologically up to date. They are priced a little higher than other DJs in the area but they really are the best!”
Samantha + Timothy
“Thank you Nate, Lane and Amplify – you helped to make our wedding amazing. From day one, Nate was easy to work with and made this part of the process completely stress-free. He was patient as he guided us and offered recommendations for music. He thinks of everything – including questionnaires that helped step by step with music selection and offered the DJ additional information. Lane was our DJ and always kept the dance floor busy – he was wonderful to work with. Lane added beautiful touches to our reception with uplighting and our monogram on the wall. I highly recommend Nate and his team at Amplify.”
Heather + Chris
“My husband and I knew we wanted to use Amplify for our wedding, as Nate did an INCREDIBLE job at my sister’s wedding. We were able to correspond with Nate throughout the entire planning process and we had Lane as our DJ on our wedding day. Lane was amazing and made the entire night such a fun experience! During the planning process both Lane and Nate made my husband and I feel completely comfortable allowing them to have some flexibility with the playlist and Lane absolutely delivered. There was not one thing I would do differently! Thank you, Lane and Nate for the most perfect ceremony and reception music!”
Monica + Jared
“I cannot recommend Amplify Entertainment more highly! Working with Nate Long was a wonderfully stress-free experience from the moment of booking until the end of the wedding reception. Nate has every detail covered, he is available instantly for questions and concerns, and his experienced guidance is spot-on. His personality is perfect for a fun filled reception. We hoped for a classy experience that was at the same time full of energy and joy and Nate did not disappoint. We were fortunate enough to book Nate himself for our first daughter’s wedding and Lane for our second daughter’s wedding, eighteen months apart! Both were professional in every aspect and made the receptions unforgettably fun for every guest. Thank you Nate and Lane!”
Carolyn (Mother of the Bride)
“We loved having Lane from Amplify DJ our wedding reception. No one told me they enjoyed the cake or the food but everyone told me how great our DJ was. Nate and his team are incredibly thorough. We had a phone meeting that went through every detail — things that I would’ve never thought to talk to my DJ about.”
Cole + Laura
“Nate, Lane and Amplify Entertainment are great. They DJ’d for our company holiday party this past year and we’re definitely going to use them again the future. Our crowd can be somewhat demanding with the DJ, but Lane handled everyone flawlessly. This is the first year ever that I haven’t had any complaints afterwards! We’ve already planned to book them again for future events.”
Susan, Radiology Associates of Tallahassee
“Amplify was great to work with! Both Nate, the owner, and Lane, our DJ, really got our vibe and played great music that felt very specific to us. It helps that they are younger and they seem to understand what modern people getting married want to hear while still catering to the older crowd attending your wedding. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you are looking for a DJ!”
Kasey + Corey
“We just want to stop by and say how amazing Lane was at our wedding last Saturday! He did everything the way we discussed and kept our guests having a great time. Amplify is the best!!!”
Amanda + Joe
“Lane DJ’d for our company holiday party and did a great job! He was totally easy going and laid back and able to handle our rowdy crowd! We’ll definitely use Amplify and Lane again for future parties!”
