Monte was absolutely amazing! He kept everything on time and running smoothly on wedding day. Throughout the planning process he was also extremely helpful when it came to making decisions as I am indecisive. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best DJ!

Monte was wonderful to work with. He is very organized and even gave us a booklet to fill out and help decide what kind of music to provide our guests at different phases of the wedding. We were able to meet with him a couple months prior to the wedding to go over our booklet and details. He even helped us with figuring out the flow of the big day. During our wedding, he helped keep us on schedule while also dj’ing. He was very punctual and confirmed everything with us. He was very quick to reply to any questions we had. We couldn’t ask for a better dj for our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend him for your future wedding! It was a joy working with him!

AWARD WINNER (2X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
At Legacy Entertainment, a DJ and entertainment business in Plano, TX, we have one simple goal for your wedding celebration: to create a memory that is all about you.
Crafting the perfect wedding entertainment vibe takes more than just great music — it takes intentional planning, experience, and artistry. Monte Slaver (known professionally as DJ Silver) believes there are four key ingredients that make a wedding celebration unforgettable:
(1) Personalization – Empowering the couple to make every element uniquely theirs.
(2) Professional Emceeing – A skilled host who knows how to guide the flow with confidence and discretion.
(3) Visual Elegance – A clean, state-of-the-art set-up that complements your venue and adds to the aesthetic of the day.
(4) Energy & Connection – A DJ who knows how to read the room, build the energy, and elevate the dance floor when it’s time to celebrate.
With over 1,000 weddings personally DJed across the DFW Metroplex, Monte brings a level of expertise and poise that only comes from his extensive experience. His deep knowledge of every musical genre, mastery of advanced digital sound systems, and professional mic presence ensure a smooth, elegant, and high-energy celebration.
Monte’s role goes far beyond just music and announcements. He is your planning partner, guiding you through the entertainment design of your day with a detailed music planning guide—a creative tool that sparks ideas, encourages individuality, and helps you craft a soundtrack that reflects your love story. Each guide includes a flash drive of curated song suggestions, making your planning process both inspiring and effortless.
At the end of it all, when the day is over, and the lights fade, what will remain are the moments and memories — the laughter, the joy, the dance floor energy. And that’s where your investment in exceptional entertainment truly shines.
Because when it comes to your wedding day… the music isn’t just background — it’s the heartbeat of your celebration.
The Knot independently assesses vendors for this award—it’s never self-reported. We base it on firsthand experiences from real couples and guests, and they must have a 4.5-star average across 7+ reviews in the qualifying year.

ving a smooth wedding. Of all our vendors I felt the most confident that Monte would be dependable. During the day of the wedding he was perfectly on time, and was great when being open and flexible when considering location and set up for his DJ set up. During the wedding he was great and we had no issues over the music's volume and the music being played. He was fantastic in the MC duties, organizing the buffet lines excellently and introducing speakers respectfully. One of the highlights of the night was the anniversary dance. We had discussed a different approach but Monte guided us to keep his original plan. The dance gave every couple a chance to be appreciated, and his speaking with the crowd made everyone comfortable and we had great laughs. All in all, I would highly recommend Monte to any friends or family.

hard to put into words. But he came through and did an excellent job reading the crowd and adjusting music to what was needed. He had excellent advice in the planning stages. He played everything that I wanted and more. He helped keep pace of the reception so I didn’t have to worry about time. And even though my husband doesn’t usually like party dancing, Monte kept the party going and made it such a fun reception. He was also very professional in his appearance and speaking to introduce speeches, etc without being distracting.

the ceremony to go over the schedule and flow of the event itself. He has done hundreds of weddings and was able to tell us what works and what doesn't and his recommendations were spot on. The wedding itself could not have gone better. He was on-time, professional, and engaged. His equipment is first-class and we had no technical issues with microphones or audio equipment. I would recommend Monty to anyone I know who is looking for a wonderful DJ.

Leading up to t...
he wedding, Monte met with my wife and I to discuss our vision for the wedding. Monte gave us helpful advice and we felt reassured knowing he would guide the evening smoothly. He was also familiar with our wedding venue and made recommendations for how the night / venue should flow.
Legacy Entertainment contributed to the perfect ambiance for our wedding. The musicians were top of the line and we received compliments all night and for months on end, especially from our musically-inclined friends and family. My wife and I love jazz music and we highly recommend Monte's band for any event in the future! I would also note that the pricing was VERY reasonable.
Lastly, we wanted to give our friends the opportunity to dance to their favorite hits at our wedding. Although live versions of songs can do this, it isn't always the same...so having the option of a DJ was perfect. Monte was a great MC for the entire evening, put together a fabulous playlist using our requests, and overall did a superb job throughout our entire wedding planning and execution process.
Monte is the best and his daughter has a beautiful voice. The music is fantastic, they are easy to work with, and are at a great price point. This was an easy five stars to give!

to accommodate. We hired the seven membered jazz band during cocktail hour and dinner. The band very talented and was able to learn new songs for our walkout and first dance. The songs were very romantic and provided the perfect atmosphere. Additionally, Monte was the perfect MC and was able to keep the flow of the wedding as he announced dances, toasts, and cake cutting. When dancing starting, we switched to DJ and every song drew a huge crowd of dancers. My husband and I could not be happier with the band and we highly recommend!

Monte was awesome! He pretty much ran the show, and he played great music!!! I sent him a list of songs I thought would be fun to dance to during the dancing part of the reception,...
and he played every single one of them, so that was great. He also let a whole bunch of us do some Karaoke songs, which was a blast. I would definitely hire him again for another event, should there be a need.
