“DJ Trey Entertainment is AMAZING! The team was so easy to work with, very responsive and always helpful. I haven’t had a positive customer service experience like that since before Covid.

“Startime Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the beginning, their communication was always quick and reliable, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was AMAZING - they were more personal and attentive than any other DJ we looked at. Stephen, our DJ, was amazing! He helped accommodate our drizzly weather and got everyone up and on the dance floor. I looked into several different DJs but Stephen was by far the winner, from his communication, enthusiasm, and genuine care for our special day.

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

“Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.”
