Footloose Entertainment founder Kris at a Jacksonville event

It Started With a Wedding — Our Own

In 1997, Kris and Misty got married in Jacksonville. Like most couples, they hired a DJ for their reception — and something clicked. Watching the DJ work the room, read the crowd, and turn a gathering of family and friends into a genuine celebration, Kris thought: I could do that. I want to do that.

So he asked. The DJ from their wedding agreed to train him, and Footloose Entertainment was born. What started as one man with a passion for music and a dream of sharing that joy with others has grown over nearly three decades into Jacksonville and St. Augustine’s most trusted event entertainment company.

“We treat our DJs like family and our clients the same way — trying to make their vision a reality.”

Today Footloose offers professional DJ services, 360 video booths, mirror photo booths, special effects, audio guestbooks, and more — but the heart of the company has never changed. Every event we serve gets the same care, energy, and commitment that Kris brought to that very first gig nearly 30 years ago.

What We Believe

The values that have guided Footloose Entertainment since day one

🎵
Music Changes Everything

The right song at the right moment can bring a room to tears, fill a dance floor, or make a memory that lasts a lifetime. We take that responsibility seriously at every single event we serve.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Family First

Our DJs and staff aren’t contractors — they’re family. We extend that same feeling to every client we work with. When you book Footloose, you’re not a transaction. You’re a relationship.

🏠
Local Roots Matter

We’re not a national franchise sending a stranger to your event. We’re your neighbors — born and built in Jacksonville, deeply invested in this community, and proud to have served thousands of Northeast Florida families over nearly three decades.

🎯
Your Vision, Our Mission

No two events are alike and no two clients want the same thing. We listen first, plan carefully, and execute flawlessly — because our job is to bring your vision to life, not ours.
