Al has been delighting audiences for his entire career. With his souring voice & subtle phrasing, he transforms any song into a "musical journey." His vocal stylings will make you swear that Bobby Darin, Louie Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Elvis or Sinatra are in the room, singing! His stage presence & comedic timing will have you laughing till you cry & then his romantic ballads and beautiful Broadway melodies, will put a lump in your throat. All truly does it all!

Al is a pleasure to work with, as well.as being one of the most talented singers we have ever heard....and believe me we have heard alot! Al's talent, music choices and personality had people up.on the dance floor that haven't danced in years! My husband and I were both amazed , so we already plan on having Al at all our parties going forward. Al can sing anything and it all sounds fantastic! He had music for everyone, from our 20 year old nieces and nephews to our 80(s) years old Aunts and Uncles...everyone was happy! I can not say it enough Al made our celebration one to remember, I have gotten so many cards from friends and family saying how much fun they had. All thanks to Al's talent!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

After a long career DJing clubs, radio, and more I can honestly say nothing is more rewarding than weddings.
