"What can we say about Ken, John and the entire team at AbsoluteEntertainment? To say they're one of the best would be understating the fact that these guys know music, all of it, any kind of music that you want to hear for any kind of event. They are specialists, they are entertaining, they care that you and your guests have the kind of party and reception that you will always remember. Hire them and just relax and let the party happen! "
" Working with John Paul always makes my day! I am always amazed at his amazing ear for music. Simply put, he understands the art of creating the perfect atmosphere."
"All the DJs from Absolute Entertainment are professional and good at what they do. We totally love working with them, especially John Paul and Ken! Be sure to check them out."
"John Paul and Ken are great DJs! When we know they will be at a reception, we know it will be a wonderful party with a packed dance floor all evening long. We recommend them to all our brides and friends. They have a true understanding of keeping a crowd on the floor and know just how to make a party flow seamlessly."
"Ken's comany has provided the entertainment / music for most of the bridal shows we have attended as a vendor. His organization is well known in the idustry and always has the models and audience dancing and at ease during the fashion shows. All of the mixologists we have met from his company are personable and delightfully friendly. We definately recommend his services to the couples we work with who are getting married locally. Then we sweep them off for their honeymoons!"

All I am going to say is that Jason Canaan from Absolute Entertainment is the absolutely the best DJ EVER!!!! He may cost a few more $$ than the other DJs, but trust me, if you want to have a fun reception, he's worth every penny. After our initial meeting, I had no doubts that he'll have no problem to get the party started. At our final meeting, Jason was able to give us a complete timeline of the reception and I knew that everything will go very smoothly. Since the wedding, our Best Man who is getting married next August is going to use Jason as his DJ. =)

I would highly recommend Absolute Entertainment to anyone looking for a great DJ. John Paul was wonderful to work with. He was professional, accommodating, and played such great music. He even reached out to us a couple of weeks before the wedding to set up a meeting to discuss the music for the day of, etc. He goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients are satisfied with his DJ services, which my husband and I really appreciated. On top of that, everyone stayed on the dance floor the entire reception, which is a true testament to his great DJ skills. Everyone had a wonderful time!

We used Jason Wallace from Absolute Entertainment as the DJ for my daughter's wedding. Let me just say ---- what a great party it was. From the planning to the execution Jason was fabulous. The dance floor was packed for every song, the music transitioned from 80's, to hip/hop to Latin seamlessly. Jason provided recommendations for each "event" --cake cutting, entry, etc and his selections were great. He made a CD at the end of night for my daughter to keep of all the music moments. All of the attendees at the wedding have begged us to make the party an annual event. They all had a great time and loved loved loved the DJ.

Our preplanning with Jason was alot of fun and our DJ John was great! Our experience with Absolute Entertainment was perfect. They provided up lighting and made the location look even better! John implemented out requests flawlessly and his relationship with many ALL of our other vendors made the partnership even better. When all things were said and done he even made us three mix CD's of all our requested songs! That was much appreciated!

We used Jason Wallace, after seeing him at a friend's wedding the year prior. He was fabulous...kept the dance floor packed all night! The only down side was that we didn't hear everything on our 'must playlist' - but that's my fault for making it too long. No real complaints here. Jason was so much fun to work and truly enjoys his job, which makes it that much more exciting.

Big hearts and big talent! Absolute Entertainment was beyond wonderful and John Paul Berry was the perfect DJ. My new husband said it was the best DJ he had ever experienced at a wedding! John Paul was more than accomodating in meeting with us as the wedding neared and he executed all of our requests flawlessy. This company is truly a class act and we would highly recommend them to any bride and groom!

This company is great to work with. We talked with four different DJs before we picked one. That is whats great- they will work with you until you find a DJ that meshes well with you. We HIGHLY recommend Nick! He was wonderful to work with. We had a few of our songs cut to the parts we wanted and he kept working on it until it was perfect. Can't say enough great things about him!

John Paul Berry is the best (and most stylish) DJ in the Maryland/DC area! From our first meeting we got along wonderful. He really understands the brides mind which will put you at ease. I was not the easiest bride - I asked for a specific genre of music during our cocktail hour (beachy, love, coffee house songs) and he got it! I had everyone in my bridal party pick their own song to walk in to which he timed them perfectly. Then, during dinner I had a play list of first dance songs for our friends and family and he announced each one sincerely. Once it was time to party our dance floor was packed from the first song (I've got a feeling) until the last one when everyone was like NOOOO! When we got back to our suite after the after party we found a CD of the songs from our day! HOW SWEET!

We had Jason Wallace of Absolute Entertainment and he was just amazing. It was exactly what we wanted and more! Jason is extremely talented and very impressive. We wouldn't have changed a thing about the music. I would highly recommend him. I had such a great time dancing! It was the perfect wedding soundtrack.

DJ John Armetta from Absolute Entertainment provided the music and emcee for our ceremony and reception. John played music during the ceremony and for our introductions to the reception. We had requested that he take a moderate approach instead of the loud obnoxious approach that some wedding DJ's have. John was fantastic. We had a meeting with him before the wedding and told him our taste in music and songs that we absolutely had to have played. He did a great job and everyone was on the dance floor.

If only I could give them a higher rating. Absolute entertainment and John Paul specifically FLOORED us. From our first meeting to our follow up emails, phone calls and meetings John Paul took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped to fine tailor his performance specifically for us. At our final meeting before the wedding, John Paul had very specific notes detailing our conversations, concerns and wishes from 10 months earlier and made a great effort to reassure my wife that he understood exactly what she wanted. When we left we knew all of her wishes would be met. The night of the wedding John Paul not only met our expectations but blew them out of the water. His demeanor and delivery were sincere and always came off as heartfelt. His timing with the introductions and dances were perfect and he kept the entire crowd dancing all night long! The crowd was actually demanding one more song! He knew how to mix the music to keep all ages happy and dancing and honored any specific song choices we had. We have had many of our guests comment that he was the best wedding DJ they have ever seen and I would definitely have to agree. Thank you JP for contributing in such a wonderful way to the greatest night of our lives! -Carlos and Brooke Martinez

We used John Paul Berry through Absolute Entertainment as our DJ. I spoke with him mostly over the phone because we were living out of state at the time. I discussed the genres of music my husband and I like and he immediately began naming lists of songs that happen to be a favorite. He really listened to what we wanted and played songs that fit both of our tastes. He was not by any mean "cheesey" or "over the top". He was low key and that it exactly what we wanted. Everyone had such a good time dancing at our reception. He also did our ceremony music. We didn't want anything too traditional so he was able to come up with different versions of the traditional songs that made our wedding feel more modern. He is a wealth of knowledge and really plays music according to your taste.
