You have invested time, energy, and heart into this day.

It should not feel chaotic.
It should not feel awkward.
It should not feel like you are managing it.

It should feel effortless.

Not just the music.
The pacing.
The transitions.
The energy in the room.
The moments in between.

A Wedding That Feels As Good As You Imagined It

The feeling.

At Stovetop Productions, we guide weddings with intention and calm confidence so you can be fully present in your own celebration.

You Only Get One Chance at This Night

After months of planning, there is a quiet fear most couples never say out loud.

  • What if it falls flat?

  • What if the energy dips and no one knows how to bring it back?

  • What if the transitions feel clumsy?

  • What if you spend the night checking timelines instead of living in it?

You deserve better than that.

A celebration this meaningful should feel natural, joyful, and completely you.

You deserve to enjoy your wedding. Not manage it.

A Guide, Not Just a DJ

We do not show up and press play.

We step into the role of guide for the evening.

We read the room.
We protect the pacing.
We anticipate transitions before they happen.
We manage the flow so you never have to wonder what comes next.

Behind the scenes, we work in step with your photographer, venue team, caterer, and planner when applicable to make sure each moment unfolds naturally.

Grand entrances happen when cameras are ready.
Toasts begin when the room is settled.
First dances are framed the way they should be.

You should not be cueing vendors.
You should not be checking the clock.
You should not be managing the energy in the room.

You should be present.

This is not about being the loudest voice in the room.

It is about guiding the experience with intention so your celebration feels effortless from start to finish.

  • Seventeen years of experience.

  • Hundreds of weddings guided.

  • Every detail approached with care.

The Kind of Night People Talk About for Years

  • Smooth transitions that feel effortless.

  • A dance floor that builds and cycles naturally.

  • Guests who stay longer than they expected.

  • A couple who actually gets to enjoy the day.

THIS is what happens when the flow is protected.

DJ’s are a huge part of your reception and making a fun atmosphere, Stovetop went above and beyond to make our wedding day such a blast with professionalism and a genuine good time.

I love the energy and playlists Lee brought to the cocktail hour and wedding dance, I don’t think we ever had an empty dance floor!! The energy from the dance was so hype that when he suggested I crowd surfed I couldn’t say no!! It was truly a night to remember and I am so happy we choose Stovetop Productions!!

Lee was awesome and so laid back! During the reception, Lee stayed in communication with us, did a great job reading the room and throwing a spectacular party. My favorite thing about working with him was that he never made the night about him, just shone the spotlight on us and I'm so, so grateful. Thank you!!!
