About Footloose Entertainment
Kris & Misty Parnell — St. Augustine, Jacksonville & Northeast Florida
Footloose Entertainment is a husband-and-wife DJ and photo booth company run by Kris and Misty Parnell, based in St. Augustine and serving couples throughout St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Northeast Florida. Kris founded Footloose in 1997, which means by the time you read this they've been DJing weddings in this area for nearly three decades. That's a long time to learn what works, what doesn't, and how to read a room that's a mix of grandparents, college friends, and a flower girl who has just discovered the dance floor.
The Footloose team offers wedding DJ services, photo booth rental, uplighting, and custom monogram projection — most couples book the DJ + photo booth combo, which keeps the dance floor energy going and gives guests something to do during the lulls. Kris is the primary DJ; Misty runs much of the planning, communication, and on-the-ground coordination during events.
Why We Recommend Footloose
From the photographers who've stood next to them at 50+ events
We met Kris early in our wedding career — probably our second or third wedding ever — and he's been a constant ever since. He's just a wonderful guy: the kind who actually picks up the phone when you call. Over the years he's become more than a friend; he's a mentor. When we've got a question that's complicated and doesn't feel straightforward, we can go to Kris — he always listens, and then gives us the perfect answer.
The thing that stands out — every single event — is the check-in. Kris doesn't jump into the next part of the night until he knows we're set.
That reliability shows up all day long. Before the first dance, before the cake cutting, before the toasts wrap and the dance floor opens, Kris finds us and makes sure we have what we need before he moves the night forward.
What we love most about working with Footloose is that they know exactly how to bring the level of party you're after. Sometimes it's nice, chill music all night. Sometimes it's an all-out rager — the kind where, as photographers, we're honestly a little scared for our own safety. One of our favorite stories is a Footloose reception where the dance floor got so out of control the building was literally shaking; we genuinely wondered if we might fall through the floor. We didn't — and everyone had the time of their lives. That's the thing about a Footloose party: it leaves a mark, and everybody walks away having had an amazing time.
They're also respected by everyone in this market — a favorite of venues like The White Room — and their photo booth actually gets used: open-air setup so groups of friends can pile in, props that aren't cheesy, and prints that hit guests' hands fast enough that people line up for a second round.
What Couples Say
4.9★ across 183 WeddingWire reviews, plus The Knot & Yelp
The pattern in reviews is consistent: couples mention how attentive Kris is during planning, how well he reads the room during the reception, and how seamless the entire night feels from cocktail hour through the last dance.
From our side, we hear it from our own couples afterward. When Footloose is on the lineup, we know the reception is going to flow, the dance floor is going to fill, and the photo booth corner is going to be loud.
