There's something about a Jacksonville wedding. Maybe it's the St. Johns River catching golden hour light behind your first dance at Epping Forest. Maybe it's the century-old oaks at Timuquana framing your ceremony like they've done for generations of Jacksonville families. Or maybe it's that this sprawling, diverse city produces couples who want a celebration that feels real, not rehearsed. COS Celebrations has been the wedding DJ of choice for Jacksonville couples who care about music, not cheese. Our founder grew up playing piano at 4 and took his saxophone on tour across 35+ countries with artists like Usher and Alicia Keys before coming home to build something different. We pioneered the DJ + live saxophone model here in North Florida, and Jacksonville venues like Timuquana, Epping Forest, and The River Club keep calling us back because we deliver. With 500+ five-star reviews and over 2,000 weddings behind us, we know what works. No ego. No spotlight-stealing. Just your wedding, your music, your way — with live sax weaving through the moments that matter.
Why Jacksonville Couples Choose COS Celebrations
We Know Jacksonville Venues
From the historic ballrooms along the St. Johns to oceanfront celebrations in Jacksonville Beach, we've performed at virtually every wedding venue in Duval County. We know which rooms have tricky acoustics, where to position speakers at Epping Forest, and how to work with Timuquana's timeline for sunset photos.
River City Roots
We're based just 40 minutes south in St. Augustine, which means Jacksonville is home turf — not a "destination" we charge extra for. No travel fees, ever. We show up early, stay late, and treat your Jacksonville wedding like the hometown celebration it is.
Your Crowd, Your Music
Jacksonville weddings bring together everyone from San Marco old money to Riverside creatives to Beaches families. We read rooms for a living — knowing when to drop a Motown classic for the older crowd and when to hit the 2024 bangers that get your college friends moving. That's 2,000+ weddings of experience.
The Live Music Advantage
Most DJs press play. We perform. Imagine your first dance with live saxophone — not a recording, but a musician reading the room and playing to the moment. It's the thing guests talk about for years, and it's something only COS brings to Jacksonville weddings.
