Savannah wedding DJ & MC

Weddings people actually dance at.

A great soundtrack, an MC who keeps the night moving, and a dance floor that fills up and stays full. All at a price that leaves room in the budget.

Why Southern Goose

Nobody remembers the centerpieces.

They remember whether they danced. The worst wedding is the one where the music drags and the floor sits empty. We're here to make sure yours is the other kind.

A soundtrack that fits

Your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and the right song at the right moment. Grandma and the college crew both end up on the floor.

An MC who keeps it moving

Entrances, toasts, first dance, cake and send-off, announced clearly and on time. Relaxed at dinner, full energy once the party starts.

Affordable, no surprises

Packages start at $400, prices are right here on the page, and a $100 deposit holds your date.

Meet your DJ

Hey, I'm AJ.

I grew up in Guyton, just up the road from Savannah, and music has always been my thing. I play banjo, and I’ve always listened to a little of everything, from ’90s and 2000s throwbacks to country, classic rock and R&B.

Southern Goose Sound Co. is how I bring that to your wedding. I play to your crowd: easygoing and classy during dinner, full energy once the dance floor fills. You get a DJ who cares about your night as much as the music, and who shows up early, dressed sharp and ready.

“Come, come, we are friends. Let's have a dance ere we are married, that we may lighten our own hearts and our wives' heels.”

How much does a wedding DJ cost with Southern Goose?

Wedding packages start at $400 for a four-hour reception, $600 for ceremony and reception, and $800 for the full day. Add-ons and travel beyond 50 miles are extra. The date form below shows your estimate as you choose.

How do we reserve our date?

Send the form, confirm the details with AJ, then pay a $100 deposit by Venmo or cash. The deposit counts toward your total, and the balance is due by your event day.

Can we pick the songs?

Absolutely. Send a playlist, a must-play and do-not-play list, or a planning form. Anything works as long as AJ has it before the day. He'll fill the open dancing with songs that fit your crowd.

Do you play clean versions?

Yes. Clean edits are available for any song, and you set the rules for your crowd.

Our ceremony and reception are in different spots. Is that OK?

Yes. Ceremony sound runs on a battery-powered speaker, and AJ resets the main system for the reception. Plan a short window in your timeline (cocktail hour usually covers it), and we'll map it out together.

When do you arrive, and what do you wear?

At least an hour before guests arrive. Setup takes about 45 minutes, and AJ is happy to come earlier if your venue allows. He dresses formally by default and will match any dress code you set.

Do you do venue walkthroughs?

Yes, free for any wedding package. It helps plan power, speaker placement and timing.

Do you travel?

Travel is free within 50 miles of Savannah. Farther than that adds a travel fee. For destination events, flights and gear shipping are covered by the client.

Can the party go longer?

Extra hours booked ahead are $75 each. On the night, ask AJ; it depends on the venue's rules.
