The Story

The Touring Musician Who Became North Florida's Original DJ + Sax

Corey Peterson is the founder of COS Celebrations, based in St. Augustine, Florida. He started on piano at age four, picked up saxophone shortly after, and spent years touring professionally - performing on stages across six continents and sharing lineups with T-Pain, Alicia Keys, Usher, and Slightly Stoopid, among others. That background changes everything about how he approaches a wedding.

Where most DJs rely on pre-built playlists, Corey hears a room the way a musician hears a band. He knows when the energy is building, when it needs to breathe, and exactly when to push it over the edge. It is not a formula - it is instinct built from thousands of hours of live performance.

He founded COS Celebrations with his fiancee Kyle, and together they pioneered the DJ + live saxophone model in Northeast Florida. Today Corey leads a team of DJs and musicians across Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island, Orlando, and beyond - and still performs regularly, because after 1,000 weddings the dance floor still gives him a rush.

Signature Style

What Sets Corey Apart

A Real Musician Behind the Booth

Piano at four, sax not long after, 40+ countries toured, six continents played. Corey does not just pick songs - he understands them from the inside. That is why his transitions land differently and why his sets feel composed rather than programmed.

Reads Any Room on Instinct

After performing for crowds of 50 and crowds of 50,000, reading a room is second nature. He knows when to bring the energy up, when to let a moment sit, and how to keep a dance floor packed without forcing it. No pre-set playlist. Every night is built live.

Live Saxophone When It Fits

Corey pioneered the DJ + live sax model in North Florida because it changes what a wedding feels like. When live saxophone weaves through a set, guests stop checking their phones and start moving. It is not a gimmick - it is what happens when real musicianship meets a live crowd.

Trains Every COS DJ Personally

Every DJ on the COS roster learns Corey's approach directly - crowd-reading, transitions, MC feel, timeline flow. That is how the same standard shows up whether Corey is your DJ or one of the DJs he trained. He is still on stages himself, so nothing gets taught secondhand.

Common Questions

Booking Corey & Working With Him

Can I request Corey specifically for my wedding?

Yes. Corey is the founder of COS Celebrations and still performs regularly, but his calendar fills first. When you book with COS, you can request Corey by name during your consultation. Peak season Saturdays in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Ponte Vedra book 12-18 months out.

Does Corey still DJ weddings or just run the company?

Corey still performs regularly. After 1,000 weddings, the dance floor still gives him a rush. He also personally trains every DJ on the COS roster - which is why the same musicianship and attention to detail shows up whether Corey is behind the booth or one of his DJs.

Does Corey play live saxophone at every wedding?

Live saxophone is included with Corey's DJ services when the couple wants it. Most do. He pioneered the DJ + live saxophone model in Northeast Florida because it changes the energy of a room in a way recordings cannot. If a couple prefers a straight DJ set, that is also an option.

What venues has Corey performed at in North Florida?

Corey has performed at nearly every premier wedding venue in North and Central Florida, including The Treasury on the Plaza, The White Room, Lightner Museum, River House, Epping Forest Yacht Club, Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, and TPC Sawgrass.

What makes Corey different from other wedding DJs?

Corey started on piano at age four and spent years touring 40+ countries as a professional musician, sharing stages with T-Pain, Alicia Keys, Usher, and Slightly Stoopid before founding COS Celebrations. That background means he reads a room the way a musician hears a band. He does not run a pre-programmed setlist. And he can step out from behind the booth and play live saxophone when the moment calls for it.
