    Such a great DJ!

    Eric was our DJ and we absolutely loved him! He keeps in contact all throughout the planning process and makes you very comfortable in knowing that you'll get what you want! We enjoyed him so much that while riding in the car I found myself thinking, "I wish Eric could follow me around and DJ my life". Not even joking! He did an amazing job and you won't want to stop dancing all night!

    A Must-Have For Your Wedding!

    Entertainment Essentials did such a wonderful job at our wedding. I can't thank Eric and his team enough. Everyone was fun and friendly and on top of things. I am a picky person, but Eric was on top of every one of my requests. Thanks so much!!

    Working with ​E​ric and ​his Entertainment Essentials ​crew was the best decision for our ​father-daughter event. ​H​is experience was instrumental in optimizing the party's flow, and the photos and videos you shared from past events were incredibly helpful. ​H​e for ​accommodated our special requests for the themed event, including the black lights, the personalized DJ booth, and the specialized song planning. The link and QR code for song requests were easy for guests to use, and we appreciated that their requests were honored. The song transitions were seamless and kept the dance floor packed all night. Entertainment Essentials made this event a huge success, and we plan to use ​t​heir services again in the future.

    Eric at Entertainment Essentials was phenomenal for our wedding. He followed the schedule we had made while still allowing for breathing room, and had such a cool, calm, and collected energy that was majorly necessary on such a high stress day! Highly recommend booking with EE for your wedding day. They kept the schedule flowing and the dance floor bumping! We were super satisfied with the entire evening.

    Thank you, Sydney! This truly means so much. It was a privilege to be part of such a beautiful celebration on your family's farm — you and Gage made the whole evening such a joy to be part of. Congratulations again, Mr. & Mrs. Akridge, and best wishes for this exciting new chapter! 🤍

    Eric was fantastic! He was very professional, organized, and a great entertainer. He went above and beyond by surprising us with a video of the father of the bride's speech! Highly recommend!

    Thank you so much, Mark! It was such an honor to be part of Sierra & Allen’s special day. Capturing that moment of your speech was such a joy — that’s a memory they’ll cherish forever. Wishing your family all the best! 🤍
