“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

“Our experience with DJ Jeremy B was exceptional from start to finish. He went above and beyond throughout the planning process and on our wedding day, and we are so grateful he was part of our wedding. From the beginning, he took the time to get to know us, our style, and our vision. He offered guidance when we needed it without ever making us feel like we had to follow a formula. His knowledge of music and the wedding industry gave us so much confidence throughout the planning process. What really stood out was his willingness to make our ideas work. We had some out-of-the-box, complicated ideas for our processional and recessional, and instead of telling us they couldn't be done, he came to our rehearsal on his own time to practice with us and figure out the best way to execute them. That level of care and effort meant so much to us. When an unexpected bump in the planning process put me behind on some final details, he responded with nothing but patience, grace, and kindness. He gave me the extra time I needed and reassured me that everything would be okay and that he had our backs. As a bride, that peace of mind was invaluable. On the wedding day, he delivered. His setup was clean and aesthetically pleasing, the music was perfect for our crowd, and he kept the dance floor full all night. He was professional, attentive, and completely in tune with the energy of the room. And one small moment perfectly sums up his attention to detail: he noticed I hadn't eaten my dinner and had it wrapped up for me so I could eat it later. He wasn't just there to play music—he was genuinely looking out for us. We could not have asked for a better wedding DJ. His professionalism, expertise, flexibility, and genuine care made a huge difference in our experience. He helped make our wedding day feel seamless, fun, and completely us.
