Footloose Entertainment

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.

We've worked more than 50 events alongside Kris and Misty over the years, and they're on the short list of vendors we recommend without hesitation when a couple asks who they should book for music and entertainment.

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.

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 to be ready. That kind of coordination doesn't happen by accident — it happens because Kris and Misty have been DJing weddings since 1997, and they understand that a wedding is a team production where the photographer and the DJ either make each other look great or make each other miserable.

They're 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 get into guests' hands fast enough that people line up for a second round. We've shot more than one reception where the photo booth line was longer than the bar at 10 PM, which is a good sign that people are having fun.

Beyond the professional reasons: Kris and Misty are good people. We've known them for years and trust them with our couples.

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.
