Business Details
Award-Winning Wedding & Event Entertainment in Jacksonville
Mark Aria Entertainment was founded on a shared passion for music and creating unforgettable experiences. Our journey began after Marcus attended TomorrowWorld 2013, where his love for DJing took root. Through years of refining his craft at parties and clubs, Marcus discovered his unique ability to elevate weddings after accompanying his now-wife Maddy, a professional bridesmaid, to events. This inspired the creation of Mark Aria Entertainment, a husband-and-wife-led business that combines personal insight into wedding planning with professional expertise. We specialize in curating music and entertainment that resonates with diverse audiences, ensuring seamless transitions and vibrant atmospheres for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations of all sizes.Our team includes seasoned professionals like Andres Martinez, a bilingual DJ with over a thousand weddings under his belt, and Mike and Cole, who bring versatility to our services. Maddy manages operations with precision, ensuring every client receives personalized attention. We pride ourselves on flexibility, innovation, as demonstrated by our interactive Magic Mirror Photo Booth, and a commitment to making each event memorable while alleviating planning stress. Our accolades from The Knot and WeddingWire reflect our dedication to excellence.
