Russ did a fantastic job for our wedding! He was very communicative, organized, and professional. We wanted someone that wasn’t going to be annoying on the mic and could read the room well as we had a diverse group of guests and he nailed it. I was a bit disorganized and behind on our wedding planning toward the end…but he took it all in stride. I also asked for his advice and direction on a few songs for things like entrances and cake cutting, which he was very helpful with. We’ve had several guests tell us that he matched the vibe of our group perfectly. There wasn’t a single song he played that was a “flop.” Thank you so much, Russ!!

I cannot recommend Sysmic Entertainment enough! Russ provided outstanding service for a corporate event in Lexington for us. He was very responsive, flexible, helped me develop ideas for our event, and provided energetic, first-rate DJ services the night of the event. Sysmic was able to provide dinner music, music bingo, and karaoke, and everyone had a fantastic time. Russ is energetic, enthusiastic, and professional. Thank you Sysmic!

If I could give Russ and Nick at Sysmic Entertainment 100 gold stars I would! My new husband and I searched a long time for a DJ that we felt we could trust, would work with us, and be within our budget for our wedding and Sysmic exceeded all of our expectations. Russ met with us to go over the details of what we wanted for music not just once but twice over the course of 2 months, which was a huge deal considering he was coming from Louisville, KY to Richmond, KY. He was entirely organized and made sure that every detail we wanted included was brought to life. They did an AMAZING job with communication not only on the day of the wedding but leading up to it as well. He was thorough and thoughtful with helpful ideas, and the kindest person to work with. Russ and Nick were both present for the rehearsal and wedding and we couldn’t have felt more secure in our decision to book with them. They both had great energy on wedding day, had a “we got this” attitude for this stressed bride, and did just an outstanding job. More than any of that, I left the venue that night after having wrapped up feeling like I had a made a good friend and I couldn’t ask for more than that. So, if you’re looking for a great team that you can rely on and go above and beyond, book with this fantastic duo!!!!

Sysmic Entertainment did an AMAZING job DJ’ing at my wedding! My guests all loved how unique and impressive their set up was. They were extremely personable, and very easy to work with. They will work incredibly hard to make sure your day is exactly how you want it, and they will listen to all of your ideas to make your event special. My husband and I wanted to play Just Dance on their screens during our wedding reception, and they made it happen! They will go above and beyond for you! Can’t say enough good things about them!

I cannot express how phenomenal of a job Sysmic Entertainment did at my wedding! It has been a very, very long time since that many people have stayed on the dance floor for that duration at a family wedding. I could not have asked for a better team to keep everyone entertained, and their new tricks and techniques are truly an experience!!!

We found Russ about a year before our wedding during our search. We looked through a few other DJs but kept coming back to him. Sysmic Entertainment was personable and professional and some of the best communication we had with any of our wedding vendors as we planned for the year. Russ helped to keep me on track and was so friendly. They worked around our schedules and very knowledgeable; I had no idea what was involved with weddings and music! He had great suggestions that were super helpful. They even took the time to look for a very specific song that my MOH was wanting for her entrance song to the reception. During the rehearsal, we made some last minute changes and Sysmic Entertainment did everything this Bridezilla wanted. During the Big Day, everything was perfect! By the end of the night, it turned into karaoke (which was not planned at all) and they rolled with what I wanted. They even surprised us with bubbles which made for some fantastic pictures! At the end of the night, it was like saying goodbye to old friends. I cannot recommend Sysmic Entertainment enough if you are looking for a DJ for any occasion. If I ever need a DJ, I will be contacting them again!

Russ and Nick were our DJs from Sysmic! Both were very professional yet very friendly and easy to work with. They did a great job running the sound and music for our ceremony! But the reception is where they really thrived! They set up two flat screen TV's to display pictures of my husband and I during the meal and they even displayed special messages from our guests! Once the dancing started, they had music videos displayed on the TVs. They also had a great variety of lights and even had bubbles! Plus, their music selection is spot on! I am so glad we went with Sysmic for our wedding and look forward to working with them again for future events!

Sysmic entertainment provided music for my middle son's graduation party last year, and it was a great experience! We had them back this year for my youngest son's party! Each party was specific to my sons' individual musical tastes! Everyone had a wonderful time!

Talk to us about your idea and we’ll see what we can work out and make your idea happen!

Why hire a DJ when I just create a playlist on a music service and hit play?

A playlist might cover the basics, but a professional DJ transforms music into an experience that evolves with the flow of your event. We blend smooth transitions, real-time crowd reading, and tailored mixes from over 10,000 tracks that adjust to every vibe shift—ensuring the energy stays just right throughout the night. By engaging with guests and adapting on the fly, we create a living, breathing soundtrack that a static playlist simply can’t match. Ultimately, hiring a DJ means investing in a memorable, dynamic atmosphere that elevates every moment of your celebration.

What is Video DJing and why is it a must-have for any event?

Video DJing, or VJing, adds the element of video to DJing. With a library of over 400 of the most popular music videos, now you can dance to the music while the music videos play to entertain your guests who may not be the dancing type. The videos are of the highest quality available, and in some cases offer special remixes that only we can offer. If you want to add something extra to your next event, VJing is a great way to keep your guests entertained! When not in use during the reception, VJ screens can be used to show photo slideshows, comments, advertisements, announcements, or anything else you can think of.

What about this Karaoke service?

Offering a 10,000+ song selection, including the top 100 in the USA, your guests will have any song available they want to sing. A large screen makes it easy to see the words and wireless mics give you the freedom to live out your rockstar dream. Choose from the most popular tracks, one-hit wonders, country classics, jazz standards, or tracks for your Halloween, Christmas, or other holiday celebration. And if the key is too high or low, no worries – you let me know and I can adjust it so you always sound your best! Just be careful, you might find yourself having to sign autographs with your newfound superstardom!
