Still Life Studios
 I have worked with multiple DJ's from Birkett Entertainment. Chris and John have a crazy amount of energy and entertain beautifully. Sarah, Jason, and others also are fantastic. You will not be disappointed with the service and attention given to your event.

Boojum Tree
 Sarah Birkett is one of the best MC/DJs in the Valley!!! We love her!

Legacy Videography
 My wife and I filmed Chris MCing at Ashley Manor. He is a wild man, and I refer him when a couple want their guests to have extreme fun. He is a Ty Pennington, Olympic gymnast and technical guru wrapped up in one. He goes far beyond entertaining -- people come away stunned and smiling. He is as fun as they come, and very popular, so call him early on in the planning process!
