Robert with Pour Vous Entertainment Group was the perfect addition to our wedding reception! His communication throughout the planning process was always prompt, kind, thoughtful, and sprinkled with his great sense of humor. On our big day, Robert brought extensive musical knowledge and created a fun, upbeat atmosphere without any of that corny DJ attitude. He took song recommendations from us and guests, played continuous hits that kept everyone dancing, and even joined in on the dance floor! He knew when to tone things down, as well, but still keep the mood going. Robert was fully engaged in making sure we had an unforgettable party, and we would highly recommend him to anyone. His thoughtful attention to detail and fun-loving energy level kept the celebration going strong all night long — we danced until we literally couldn’t dance anymore! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to MC our wedding reception — thank you, Robert!

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabe used his expertise to walk us through a process that can be super overwhelming. When we asked for a complicated first dance that psyched out the audience, not only was he all in but according to my guests, he really sold being “surprised”. Give this man an Oscar. My Dad also wanted to dance to a song that was only available on YouTube but he made it work. Finally, his games really lit up the event and made it unique. So thankful for him!

As a very particular wedding planner who has seen it all — I can confidently say Jason and Scott are absolute standouts in the DJ world. They arrived at a venue they’d never been to before and immediately got to work, communicating clearly and adapting seamlessly to every timing adjustment and announcement throughout the night. Their setup and lighting were top-tier — truly some of the best I’ve seen! The dance floor stayed PACKED for three straight hours, and our clients (and their guests) could not stop raving about the energy, transitions, and creativity behind every mix. Jason’s transitions were FLAWLESS and the music selection was pure perfection. From communication to execution, this duo nailed every single detail. Hands down the best in the business — they’ll be the first call I make for any of my future clients’ weddings!

DJ SaWRose

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Fayetteville, TX

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Hiring Saroj was the best move we made. He was FANTASTIC! He walked us through all the special songs we would need for our wedding, from the first dance until the last dance as we departed. We had no clue how many songs we would need to choose, his guidance saved the day. He kept us all on track and made sure our wedding went off without a stitch. Our guest couldn’t say enough about how great our music was and how great a job our DJ did. I can’t say enough about how great Saroj was. Any future events where a DJ is need will most certainly include him. We would never hire anyone else!

DJ Ivan with Ivan Ent LLC, Musician was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding.

We had many guests/family from the, Rio Grande Valley and Venezuela, along with many friends from all over the US and from all cultures. He smoothly integrated must-play songs and requests in both English and Spanish to keep everyone happy and dancing, just as we'd hoped. Ivan was kind, approachable, and professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day. He provided a very detailed questionnaire to make sure he fully understood the vibe we were going for. Ivan's experience and knowledge of weddings really showed in his song choices and MC skills. We chose to add on an audio guestbook and dancing on the clouds also through DJ Ivan that really enhanced the party. We were thrilled that Ivan helped make our wedding celebration exactly what we imagined. I would enthusiastically recommend him to any engaged couple looking for an exceptional DJ.

I love making the wedding a special event for the couple. My job is the dancefloor. I rate myself based on how many people stayed on the dancefloor and for how long. My clients will tell you that people stay on the dancefloor most of the night on my events. Because I do a lot of homework before every event in preparing all the music they selected. Making sure it can please all the generations, and which songs could I sing myself. I'm passionate about making your day the wildest party imaginable!

Goga is legendary! My wife loved listening to him so much that I think she would have moved our wedding date to make it possible for him to attend. (Fortunately, we double checked with his availability before sending out save the dates). And he wow'd the crowd even more than we thought possible. Thank you Goga for helping make the night so special! His energy, vocals, talent are all top notch. Highly highly highly recommend.

My name is Rogelio (Roger) Sanchez aka DJ Konkocshun. It all began while in H.S., a buddy of mine (I consider him my brother) was a DJ and I used to tag along and even help him mix some tracks. After H.S. I joined the Marine Corps and after several years, I continued to get the itch of mixing music and missed playing on the turntables. After an experience we had with another DJ for a personal event, I decided to give it a go. I love mixing different genres of music and the excitement of people enjoying themselves while on the dance floor or bobbing their heads in their seats. I practice my craft daily to present a beautiful experience.

Sanchez Entertainment made our wedding unforgettable! We can’t thank Rogelio and his team enough for the incredible energy, music, and vibe they brought to our big day. Their expertise was unmatched—they took our playlists and turned them into a perfect reflection of our style and personalities. Every song felt intentional and personal, and the way they blended the music kept the dance floor packed all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was—it truly set the tone for the celebration. Beyond the music, Rogelio and his team were on top of everything, helping to manage the timeline seamlessly. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy every moment of dancing, which was so important to us. One of the most meaningful touches was the bilingual announcements. Rogelio included announcements in Spanish, and it meant the world to me and my family. It added such a personal and heartfelt connection to the day, and it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a DJ company that will not only deliver incredible music but also create an unforgettable experience, Sanchez Entertainment is the one. Rogelio and his team made our wedding so special, and we couldn’t recommend them more!
