About

tonez entertainment

At Tonez Entertainment, we specialize in open-format DJing and modern event hosting that goes far beyond just playing music. Led by seasoned DJs Michael Tonart (aka DJ Tonez) and Ryan Carr (aka DJ Deficit), we bring over 30 years of combined experience and unmatched versatility to every celebration. As a dynamic DJ duo, we perform side by side at every wedding, delivering a seamless, high-energy experience with two professionals locked into every moment — from your grand entrance to the final song of the night. One of us focuses on the music and mixing, while the other hypes the crowd, controls the lights, coordinates behind the scenes, and keeps the energy flowing. It’s a level of synergy, attention, and crowd engagement that solo DJs or big companies simply can’t match. From timeless throwbacks to today’s chart-toppers, we know how to read the room, dial in the vibe, and keep the dance floor packed. Our sets blend all genres and eras — including Pop, Rock, Top 40, Oldies, R&B, Hip-Hop, EDM, Country, and more — all mixed live and customized to your unique crowd and musical style.

fresh, modern & professional

We’ve redefined the look and feel of wedding entertainment. Say goodbye to outdated playlists and cheesy vibes — and hello to crisp sound, sleek style, and a DJ team that shows up in sharp suits and fresh kicks. Our presence is polished, our personalities are approachable, and our goal is to create a fun, elegant, and unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Your Wedding. Perfected.

We don’t just play music — we help you craft the soundtrack to your love story, working closely with you every step of the way. From a detailed music planning process and personalized announcements to professional lighting and seamless coordination with your vendors, we deliver all the essentials — and some extras — with excellence.
