    Look no further!

    Ken transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. His ability to keep the energy high for every guest was truly impressive. The dance floor stayed packed even after the wedding had ended and the venue was wrapping up.

    He handled all the music and microphones from the pre-ceremony through the reception, which was awesome. We didn’t have to worry about renting any equipment because he came fully prepared with everything we needed for the entire day.

    From the moment the dance floor opened, Ken had the dance floor packed. He played a fantastic set of songs that everyone knew and loved, ensuring that no one was left sitting out, but also had no lulls in the energy of the night. His knack for reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time kept people dancing all night long.

    One standout feature was the music videos he played on the screen of his dj booth. This was a nice touch, especially for those who might have felt a bit shy about hitting the dance floor. It allowed everyone to enjoy the ambiance, whether they were dancing or simply watching and singing along.

    Ken also excelled as an emcee. He smoothly directed the flow of activities, ensuring that transitions between different parts of the evening were seamless.

    One of the highlights of the night was the group photo he organized. Ken took the initiative to gather everyone for a memorable photo op, which turned out to be a fantastic keepsake for everyone at the wedding.

    The moving photo booth was another hit. Ken's assistant, Chris, walked around with a camera attached to a ring light in order to capture both candid and posed shots. Guests who were dancing or lounging at their dinner tables could easily join in the fun of a photo booth, as it came right to them.

    Ken allowed my sister (the maid of honor) to use his dj booth for a slideshow during her speech, which was an exciting surprise for me (the bride) and all our guests. He was overall very patient with all our requests and even shared edits of the songs for the first dances, making sure everything was just right before the big day.

    Ken did a fantastic job making our wedding a night to remember. His skills as a DJ and his flexible approach really made a difference in making our day perfect. If you want someone who will help your entire event go smoothly and keep the party going, Ken is definitely a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

    World’s Best DJ

    DJ Ken was UNREAL. I did not leave the dance floor from the moment DJ Ken started playing and neither did my guests. The next day, everyone was raving about the DJ. As one of the most important parts of a wedding, I cannot recommend trusting your entertainment with DJ Ken. From the moment we began working with DJ Ken, he made our wedding feel like his biggest priority and that he was there to make our vision come to life. From the music, to the cold sparks & the Go Snap Photobooth…our wedding was what we dreamed of and more.

    The WOW experience on steroids

    After booking the venue, our next service was to secure a DJ who would make our vision a reality. That vision was to have a really lively wedding, a full dance floor, and an energetic vibe. Nicole and I knew we had to get this right, so the search began. After reading the reviews for Amp, we knew we had to reach out. We obviously never made it to candidate number two, as there wasn't even a consideration once we had our discussion with Ken. This is NOT where you want to cut your budget, if having an awesome and unforgettable experience is your goal. Ken delivers, and as you'll read over and over, your guests will be saying what an incredible time they had and how it was among the best wedding parties they'd ever attended. Many thanks to Ken for enthusiastically delivering on all of his promises and making our wedding even better than we'd imagined.

    When You Get What You Pay For, Pay For The Best

    Ken is one of the greatest guys you could work for on your wedding day. He adds in all the personal touches, and truly makes your day about you. The whole group gets into it. I would recommend him to anyone for any event.

    Top notch DJ for our big day!

    We booked the Experience Package with Ken for our wedding at the Gardens of Woodstock on 9/15/23, and it was beyond WORTH IT!!! He was easy to work with and responsive from the very beginning. Making sure the music was top notch and having everyone partying on the dance floor was my top priority, and Ken delivered! I had countless people come up to me saying it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended because of the DJ, music, and TV display and how they want to hire him for their own future events. And not to mention all of the amazing extras Ken put together to make our day truly special. One of the most important things was a photo montage my dad always likes to put together for his kid's weddings, and Ken was extremely helpful in gathering the pictures and music from my dad and creating a spectacular montage that we will rewatch for years to come. He also worked with our parents and grandparents to create a day of video of words of wisdom from our family, shots from our decorations, first look, and ceremony. Our wedding day was truly magical, thank you so much Ken!!!

    Truly special and unique

    Ken went above and beyond to make our wedding special. From the amazing music and vibe he created, to keeping my husband and me on schedule to keep the night moving along, and he created the perfect set up to play our shadow dance my father and I did for our dance. It was truly amazing. Also you can not go wrong with the photobooth 360. All our guest absolutely loved it. Captured so many good moments.
    We are so grateful for the night you helped make special

    You won’t be sorry. Best decision we made!!

    Ken at Amp Events is a true professional and knows his business. From our first meeting, Garreth and I knew we needed to look no further. Making the decision to hire Ken for our wedding was definitely the right one!! Our day was not only PERFECT, but the party was soooo much fun! He had everyone out on the dance floor all night! His professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and kindness is extraordinary. Our day was magical, and one we will never forget. Thanks for all of the special surprises it was truly the best day EVER!! We will be referring you to many. Thanks again for everything Ken!

    Amazing Experience!

    Amp Event Professionals was an amazing vendor to work with! Andrew was an absolutely amazing DJ. He was down to Earth, professional, and he had a great set list. We were given a whole online portal to fill out all of our musical needs including prelude music, ceremony music, unity ceremony music, cake cutting music, songs that are must plays, songs that are a definite "No", and everything in between. We were given control on how we wanted the music in our wedding to sound, and we couldn't be more grateful. Andrew went above and beyond in our requests and knew how to keep the party going!

    Highly Encourage!

    Things we heard from our guests about DJ Ken: "I had to use my real dance moves instead of my wedding dance moves." "At one point, I looked at your dance floor and it was an actual rave." "He was such a good mix of old and new." "I have actually never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding. " We loved and appreciated our experience with Ken. Added bonuses we didnt even know we needed: he was exceptional at keeping the timeline of the wedding moving and he provided so many videos and pictures that we love and appreciate.

    Amp Event Professionals is 10/10!

    Ken and the staff at AMP Event Professionals did a fantastic job with our New Year's Eve wedding! Ken was a pleasure to work with, and made our wedding so unique. He was creative, kept everyone (even Grandma) dancing all night long & made sure our kick off to 2023 was one to remember! He takes his job very seriously which helps set him apart from other DJs. We cannot recommend him enough!

    10000% recommend!!

    Where to begin! We booked AMP Professionals for our wedding and they did not disappoint. Ryan was our event DJ and he brought the energy! He clicked with my husband and I immediately and we knew we were going to have an amazing night. The ceremony music was perfect. The energy in the room for the reception was ecstatic the entire evening. The song selections were on point and everyone was on the dance floor from start to finish. Ryan created an amazing surprise for us at the end (I won't give it away) that had my husband and I BALLING our eyes out. It was honestly incredible and so sweet and thoughtful. Jenny was behind the scenes of the GoSnap and she did a great job getting everyone to use it and join in on the fun (we love having these photos!). I could not say anything bad about Ryan, Jenny, or AMP. We asked and they delivered. Highly recommend!

    The best wedding DJ out there

    Amp Event Professionals did an amazing job! I have received so many rave reviews, everyone is saying it is the best DJ they have ever experienced at a wedding. Ken personalized and accommodated all our requests, no problem. You can tell he really loves what he does and is dedicated to making your day special. It takes a special kind of DJ to keep a full dance floor for a 4 hour dance party, and Ken did just that. There was something for every age group and there was never an awkward lull that so often happens at weddings. I also highly recommend utilizing the walking photobooth they offer, she caught so many special moments that would not have been documented otherwise (after the photo/video had left).

    Exactly What We Hoped For!

    We used Amp Event Professional for our wedding and were incredibly happy with our choice. Joe was great, showed up early, super easy to communicate with and overall was awesome to work with. They seem extremely well-rounded in the industry and very professional in terms of their services and knowing what brides & grooms are expecting. I would absolutely recommend Amp Event Professionals for any event!

    Ken Brings the Energy!

    We got married on 4/23/2022 after having to cancel our wedding twice due to Covid. So after a long awaited wedding, we wanted it to be full of energy and excitement. Ken fulfilled our expectations! He brought the perfect lighting, dj booth, and musical energy. Throughout the night, we had everyone on the dance floor. Even my 2 year old niece (who was far beyond her bedtime) was still up there dancing! Ken allowed us to add a little humor into our ceremony introductions and played a beautiful video of the last 1.5 years from our first cancelled wedding leading up to our current wedding! Everyone had an amazing time!

    Ken was easy to work with, responsive, and had an easy online portal to organize the timeline and requests for the wedding. We highly recommend Ken and his team!!!

    Couldn't have asked for better!

    We had Ken as our DJ for our Wedding on Jan 29th. He was AMAZING!!

    Every step of planning he was there for us. We never had any problems getting ahold of him or setting up meetings. He was always very responsive. Then during the reception, he was constantly checking in with me and my wife to make sure the timing of everything still worked. He was flexible when something needed to change or wait. He even created this amazing mashup of our vows and speeches that he played for us at the end of the night. It was a complete surprise and the fact that he did this WHILE DJing is just incredible. We had so many compliments about him from all of our guests and they are absolutely correct. We cannot say thank you enough for making our wedding amazing and perfect!

    Hire Ken and His Team Right NOW! (You won't regret it!)

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ken and Andrew blew us away with their services. We could not have asked for more incredible team to help us party the night away. You will not be able to find a DJ that does more than Ken and his team. Please don't hesitate to reach out to them with questions and definitely don't hesitate to hire them for your event. Ken's surprise during the dances had every single person in the room crying and we really could not be more grateful for the experience that they created for us.

    Their GoSnap roaming photo booth took everything to the next level and my guests had a blast taking pictures all night long!

    THANK YOU, AMP EVENT PROFESSIONALS!!! :)

    Everything A DJ Company Should Be!!!!

    The BEST DJ Company, period. From the initial booking, to planning meetings, to the day of, we couldn't have asked for a better group to help us get through our day. Their entire experience is centered around the Bride and Groom not having to worry about a single detail on their wedding day. In a weird year of Covid delays, Amp Event Professionals was amazing to work with and rescheduled no questions asked when Covid derailed our initial plans. Ken and his DJs are awesome to work with and connect with you on a personal level during your planning. They get to know what you and your Fiancé like and dislike and tailor your day's entertainment to your tastes. The Ken Murphy Experience package is awesome and brings things I had never seen before at a wedding. The cold sparklers at our wedding were such a surprise for our guests! Everyone LOVED them! Amp Event Professionals is ahead of the Wedding DJ game and is crushing it. They do not disappoint!

    Highly recommend if you want a party!

    Joe Fortuna with Amp Events was nothing short of perfect for our wedding day! We gave little guidance to what sorts of music to play at the reception except to make it a party and that is exactly what he did. We received so many compliments on how great the music was and the dance floor was incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend Joe and Amp!

    Above and Beyond

    We had Ryan for our DJ and he was fantastic! He was very efficient with his communication and was always thorough in answering our questions. We knew exactly what our night would look like because of Ryan. He included a special song with parts of all our speeches mixed in which was great to listen to the next day. Most importantly, we had a full dance floor at our wedding and everyone had an amazing time.

    Look no further!

    If you are looking for a DJ for your special event, look no further! Could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. There wasn't a single dull moment throughout the entire night. Everyone loved the music and our guests had nothing but great things to say! ❤ HIGHLY recommend DJ Joey Beef through AMP Event!!! I could go on and on, but just trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed! 🙌
