COS Celebrations is a Jacksonville, Florida wedding DJ and live musician company with 500+ five-star reviews and over 2,000 weddings performed at venues including Timuquana Country Club, Epping Forest Yacht Club, Casa Marina Hotel, and The River Club. Jacksonville wedding packages start at $1,500 and include professional DJ/MC services paired with live saxophone — a combination we pioneered in Northeast Florida.
Jacksonville weddings have a character all their own. From the historic mansions along the St. Johns River in Ortega to the creative loft spaces popping up in Springfield, from black-tie affairs at Timuquana to barefoot ceremonies at Jacksonville Beach — this city's wedding scene is as diverse as its neighborhoods. We've performed at intimate Riverside garden parties, San Marco rooftop celebrations, Avondale estate weddings, and grand ballroom receptions at Epping Forest. 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. Jacksonville's top venues keep calling us back because we understand what couples here want: real entertainment, not cheesy DJ antics. We know every corner of Duval County and what works in each space.
Jacksonville Wedding Trends
Jacksonville couples are moving away from DJ-only setups. The trend? Live saxophone during the first dance, cocktail hour, or peak dance floor moments. It creates unforgettable moments that guests talk about for years.
The duPont mansion at Epping Forest, the 1920s elegance of Timuquana, the Mediterranean revival architecture throughout Riverside and Avondale - Jacksonville couples are embracing the city's architectural heritage.
We're seeing Jacksonville couples book 5-6 hours instead of 4. The focus has shifted from formal events to celebrations where guests actually stay until the last song. Most of our Jacksonville weddings now go until 11pm or midnight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We've performed at Jacksonville's finest wedding venues and know exactly how to make each space shine:

Corey was absolutely amazing! From the first time we spoke, I knew he was the one. He was so professional, organized, and made the whole planning process a breeze. The COS Music + Timeline app made it so easy to plan everything.
On our wedding day at Timuquana Country Club, he kept the party going all night long. Every single guest commented on how great the music was and how packed the dance floor stayed. The live saxophone during cocktail hour was the highlight that everyone is still talking about!
We cannot say enough great things about Corey and his team! Our wedding at Epping Forest was absolutely perfect thanks to COS Celebrations. From the ceremony music to the last dance, everything was seamless.
The live saxophone during our first dance brought tears to everyone's eyes - it was such a special touch that made the moment unforgettable. Corey read the room perfectly and kept guests of all ages on the dance floor. If you're looking for a Jacksonville wedding DJ who goes above and beyond, look no further!
We hired COS for our San Marco backyard wedding and it was the best decision we made. Corey understood exactly what we wanted - a party that felt like US, not a cookie-cutter reception. He mixed everything from 90s hip hop to modern indie to Frank Sinatra for my grandparents.
The dance floor was packed from 8pm until midnight. Multiple guests asked for his card. If you're getting married anywhere in Jacksonville, just book COS and stop stressing about the music.

Never. Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra - the entire Duval County area is part of our primary service region. You'll never see a travel fee on your quote.
We've performed at virtually every wedding venue in Jacksonville, but our most frequent venues include Timuquana Country Club, Epping Forest Yacht Club, The River Club, Casa Marina, and private estates throughout Riverside, Ortega, and San Marco.
