What couples say.

Look no further than Lucas.

If you’re looking for a DJ who will keep your dance floor packed all night, look no further than Lucas! Hiring him for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and he absolutely made the party. The combination of DJing and live saxophone was unforgettable — it created such a fun, unique atmosphere, and our guests have not stopped talking about it.

Easily best DJ we’ve had in 20+ weddings.

At a wedding right now that this guy is playing at, and he absolutely rocks. Easily best DJ we’ve had in 20+ weddings. So good on the saxophone!!

Every person who talks to me about our wedding starts with ‘the DJ with the sax was insane.’

Lucas truly set our wedding day apart from any other. The energy on the dance floor was better than we even hoped for. He cared deeply about making sure the playlist matched our preferences, and then elevated it by adding the magical sax to it all! We’re so grateful to have had him as a part of our special day.

He absolutely brings the party.

Lucas is an incredible DJ and saxophonist — truly the total package! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform at weddings in both Nashville, TN and Galena, IL, and every time, he absolutely brings the party. His talent on the sax is next-level and adds such a unique, high-energy vibe to the dance floor.

One of our best vendor decisions for our day.

My husband and I had Nostalgia Rush as our DJ at our Iowa wedding and we couldn’t have made a better decision for our special day. Not only did we have a great DJ and MC, but an incredible saxophonist, making for a unique live music experience at our wedding. Lucas was professional in the planning process and knew all the right questions to ask in order to ensure a smooth wedding reception. He kept the dance floor lively and helped create a truly magical day for us. Our guests RAVED about the live saxophone experience and how great Lucas was.

Stop what you are doing right now and hire Lucas!

Not only is he extremely easy to work, he is incredibly talented and professional. He provided non-stop entertainment from the moment he arrived to the personally crafted last song. He arrived prepared with the necessary equipment and generators to provide impeccable sound quality both inside and outside our venue. It had me in tears when he played my processional song on sax and remixed it to perfection on the dance floor. The guests were so impressed with his musicality, I had 2 bridesmaids ready to hire him for their upcoming event.

Best DJ EVER!

We had so many compliments for our wedding, from friends, to aunts, to grandmas. He highlighted our whole event and worked with us through every hiccup. He kept everyone dancing and had a great energy. He knew how to schedule soft dance breaks without killing anyone’s vibe. This is the second time we have had him for a family wedding and he continues to impress.

Hands down the best I’ve ever seen.

I was at a wedding last week in Chicago... 9 times out of 10 the DJ is hot garbage. Not this time. This guy KILLED it — he plays saxophone and DJs at the same time and is super talented. He kept the energy up on the dancefloor for four and a half hours. I was just floored by his stamina, his talent, his taste in music, and the ability to read the crowd. If you are looking for an actually talented DJ sax combo and want a unique visual style to boot, hit up Lucas Sanor at Nostalgia Rush. You won’t be disappointed!

You absolutely nailed it.

We are so grateful to have had Lucas as part of our special day! You set the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. The soundtrack you created brought so much joy, laughter, and energy to our celebration. The saxophone and disco ball was the absolute perfect addition to cocktail hour and our reception. Every moment flowed perfectly, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the music was.

Definitely the highlight of the night.

Words cannot describe how great of a DJ Lucas was at our wedding — definitely the highlight of the night! He was incredibly helpful when it came to getting the playlist together for all the different parts of the wedding. Everyone loved the jazz vibe during dinner, and with him playing the saxophone it made it so unique. All of our guests raved about it — truly the best DJ out there!

The most fun wedding they’d been to.

Lucas played and DJ’ed our wedding and reception and was fantastic. He had everything we might want — microphones for the ceremony and speeches, an awesome setup, uplighting, and even a discoball! Lucas kept the dance floor full all night, with great song after great song. He seamlessly blends saxophone performance with mixing songs. We have received so many comments from our guests about the amazing DJ and that our wedding was the most fun wedding they’d been to!

If you want the dance floor full all night, Lucas is your guy.

I met Lucas at a bridal expo and loved his energy. At the time I wasn’t sure if I was having a wedding, so when I decided I was going to have one with 6 months to plan, I immediately reached out to Lucas. He’s so talented on the saxophone and the crowd LOVED him! My wedding was 2 days ago and I’m still receiving messages from guests asking for his info and saying how amazing he was. Highly recommend him!

Lucas was one of the main things that MADE our wedding.

So many of our guests were just amazed by him. It was awesome and we had such a great time because he was a part of our big day!

Our guests were blown away, and so were we.

The combination of his saxophone performance and DJ skills created the most romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. From walking down the aisle to the saxophone to the packed dance floor later in the night, every moment was made more special because of his music. They still talk about Lucas and our wedding night to this day! His communication leading up to the wedding made us feel so organized and prepared — he knew our timeline perfectly and was able to MC the night away.

You won’t regret hiring Nostalgia Rush.

He was AMAZING and so easy to work with. We had so many questions about music choice and flow, which were all addressed throughout the planning process. We had a backyard wedding, so things felt daunting to figure out logistically, but Lucas handled it all very professionally and everything went smoothly day of. We hired him for both ceremony and reception — he seamlessly transitioned between the three distinct vibes of the evening, and even learned a list of Croatian songs on the sax for us. Everyone loved him, and the DJ/sax combo was such a unique touch. It really elevated the whole experience.

All I can say is WOW!

Lucas aka Nostalgia Rush really knows how to keep the party going. Lucas was a pleasure to work with and really made me feel at ease when it came to music at our wedding. We wanted a romantic vibe for our cocktail hour and during dinner, Lucas executed it to perfection. He also incorporated the saxophone with the dancing music to create a unique experience that our guests loved and will remember forever! We highly recommend Lucas to any couple who wants both a talented DJ and saxophonist to play at their wedding.

Nostalgia Rush absolutely rocked the house.

If you want a lively and fun reception, I wholeheartedly recommend Nostalgia Rush. Our guests raved about how much fun he was to have. Not only is he an incredible DJ, he’s brilliant on the saxophone. He was super easy to work with, very personable, and responsive. My wife and I enjoyed working with him every step of the way.

He absolutely KILLED IT!

Lucas played our NYE wedding and he absolutely KILLED IT! The sax/DJ mix was exactly what we were looking for and he went above and beyond for us. It was the perfect night in large part because of how talented he was! I highly recommend hiring Lucas for any event!

Mitch Brenneman Hotel Millwright — Amana, IA · 2022 See the Cedar Rapids page →

Honestly, the highlight of our WEDDING!

I reached out to Lucas a little over a year before my wedding and was so excited to know he was available to play. Having a sax player at my wedding was something I had wanted since I was little!! He not only played throughout the entire reception but also played my ceremony music, which was absolutely beautiful. He communicates great, is so personable, and plays so many different genres of music. He had all our guests up and dancing the entire night!
