      THE BEST DJ IN THE BUSINESS

      We cannot thank Chris Washburn enough for helping make our wedding day so incredibly special! We had a unique wedding theme that required creativity, flexibility, and a willingness to go above and beyond, and he exceeded every expectation. He took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that made our celebration truly memorable. What impressed us most was his patience, professionalism, and ability to keep everything moving seamlessly, even when we fell behind schedule. He remained calm, accommodating, and positive throughout the day, adapting to changes without ever making us feel stressed or rushed. His ability to keep the energy high and the celebration flowing made such a difference in our overall experience. It takes a truly special DJ to do more than just play music, and he did exactly that. He helped create an incredible atmosphere, kept our guests engaged, and played such an important role in making our wedding everything we had hoped for and more. He was a part of the family! We are beyond grateful for his dedication, flexibility, and genuine commitment to making our day perfect. If you are looking for a DJ who will go the extra mile, embrace your vision, and handle every unexpected change with grace and professionalism, we cannot recommend him highly enough! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and a huge part of what made our wedding day unforgettable.

      Best DJ I've ever heard

      Genuinely the best wedding DJ I've ever heard - and I've been to 20 weddings in the last 3-4 years! DJ Doughboy (Devan) played our wedding on 9/21/24 and was TRULY incredible. He read the crowd like an expert, seamlessly sequenced and mixed extremely danceable tunes, hyped our friends and family up, and played all our specific requests. We are still getting rave reviews from our guests 4 months later. Could not recommend Devan and Washburn Entertainment more highly for anyone getting married in the Central NY / Finger Lakes region!

      More than Just a DJ!

      DJ Doughboy (Devan) is an incredible DJ and made our wedding reception a fun experience for us and all of our guests! It was such a pleasure working with Devan - from the start he reached out and helped us through a planning sheet and took the time to get to know us. He is very easy to talk to and made the planning process easy. On the day of our wedding, he set up awesome lighting, created beautiful photo slideshows for our mother-son and father-daughter dances, organized our wedding party entrance and got just about everyone on the dance floor! He did more than play great music, he made announcements throughout the evening to make sure our guests knew what was happening and he checked in with us frequently to see if we needed anything. If you are looking for an awesome DJ to make sure your event is unforgettable, look no further than DJ Doughboy!

      BEST DAY EVER w TORI VEE

      We had Tori Vee as our DJ for our September wedding and she was amazing! So accommodating and so understanding and everyone seemed to go out of their way to tell us how much fun she made the night! She even helped w ceremony organization and took up roles where we needed someone. Even the venue and other vendors wanted her information so that they were able to recommend her to other couples because of her willingness to help, organize, and her knowledge of the wedding industry. We also had the 360 Photo Booth and from what I’m told it’s the “new” one and it was SOOO much fun! Everyone of every age loved it! We even have people telling us they loved it so much they wanna have it at their wedding. Overall Washburn Entertainment was amazing they made sure every single person at our wedding had fun, had something to dance to, and made our night so magical and memorable!
