    8.4.19 Wedding

    Eric (aka DJ Woody) was the best DJ. He is so nice and is just super professional and on top of things. Our ceremony music was perfect and he was an excellent emcee that kept things organized during our reception. We gave him basically the vaguest idea of the "vibe" that we wanted for our music and he NAILED IT and played music that was exactly what we were envisioning.

    Thanks for all the kind words, Samya (and Chase)! It was an absolute honor to be part of orchestrating -the- biggest day of your lives! Wishing you all nothing but the best in your new life together 😁

    Steven from Entertainment Essentials was the one and only DJ recommendation that I received from my photographer (who has seen a lot of DJs) and I'm so glad we found him. From the beginning, Steven was always easy to communicate with and very personable. He puts 100% into planning your event because he really wants to make sure it's what you want. I had a terrible DJ experience in the past, so it was a huge relief to have a DJ who I could trust for my wedding. Steven is extremely professional, skilled, upbeat and thorough. We used Steven's services for both our ceremony and our reception and with our multi-room, indoor/outdoor setup, Steven put a lot of effort into making sure the sound would be perfect everywhere. I was a little hesitant to use a DJ for ceremony music and microphones because it seems like there's always a glitch at every wedding I go to, but thanks to Steven & EE's good equipment, I'm happy to report that there were no technical difficulties at my 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. The evening and night went off without a hitch -- well, except ours, of course! When it ended at 10 p.m., my friends wanted to keep on dancing!

    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!

    Entertainment Essentials's reply:

    Megan,

    Thank you for your kind words- we had so much fun at your wedding! It was truly a perfect day- happy, fun, and great times with the best of friends. :) We were delighted to serve you and wish you all the very best!

    Sincerely, The Entertainment Essentials Team

    Best DJ ever! I had Eric for the DJ at our wedding! He played the perfect music and everything we asked for! We like fun, techno, dance music and he fulfilled this request! Our quest were dancing the night away and we enjoyed our night because everyone was having fun! We had multiple guests tell us after our wedding that we had the most fun wedding and that our DJ was the best! We could not asked for anything better! We loved Entertainment Essentials!

    Michael was our talent for our wedding and he was AMAZING! Music was very important to me and I wanted to make sure that the person running the show knew that. I met with him a couple of weeks before the wedding and he was very nice and completely understanding of the type of atmosphere I wanted. He more than delivered what I asked and I cannot be more pleased! He was very entertaining, but definitely not to the point where is was annoying. He made the show all about us! He balanced it out very well and had the whole room laughing several times throughout the night. Thank you EE for providing such a fun talent for my wedding.

    Entertainment Essentials's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Courtney! It was a pleasure to be a part of your big day and help ensure that everything came together just as you always imagined it would!

    Eric and his crew did an amazing job! We hired them for DJ services as well as ceremony sound setup and some extra lighting. Their service was so personalized, it was amazing to find someone to cater to our very unique musical tastes. The ability to use wireless setups and custom lighting really sets them apart. They provide meetings and planning tools to help along the way, which were amazing. If you are looking for a DJ that caters to YOU instead of just pulling out a "wedding playlist", Entertainment Essentials is perfect!

    We planned our wedding from a distance, which made picking vendors hard. Eric and team was awesome every step of the way. We appreciated his professionalism with song request tools, event planning portal and overall execution of the event. We would highly recommend!

    Entertainment Essentials's reply:

    Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to make sure you received a response to your wonderful comments! Whether close by or far away, we were delighted to help bring a little extra joy and fun to your celebration! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a note and we were honored to be a part of your wedding. :)

    They played every song we requested and even downloaded a song that they didn't have on their playlist so we could have it played! They did an awesome job responding to me quickly via email whenever I had questions- everything was great!

    Entertainment Essentials's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Ali! It was a pleasure working with you, Eric, your families/Lighting and friends. We are always happy to purchase song titles for our clients on-the-fly. It was rewarding to see it received so well on the dance floor! Thanks again and we wish you the best in your new life together :) Dayna & Eric

    Eric and his team were great to work with for our wedding. They provided music and DJ services for both the ceremony and the reception. They were very professional and extremely accommodating, even dealing with a last minute song change with no problems. Most importantly, everyone loved the music and the dance floor was full all night long.

    Eric Woodland and the Entertainment Essentials team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs/ wants for our prom. From great music tailored to our students' requests to the Superbooth, the EE crew was fabulous. Also, the LED Color Wash lighting was spectacular and the icing on the cake. The students are still talking about what an awesome night it was.

    Eric and his team at Entertainment Essentials were amazing! They are very professional, thorough and detail oriented! We met with Eric twice before the wedding and filled out some information online and then got a very detailed timeline of our event before the wedding to review and edit as necessary. From the minute dancing started until the very last song, the dance floor was packed and everyone had a wonderful time. The photobooth was a favorite of the night and it was well run and so much fun! We cannot say enough about how wonderful Entertainment Essentials was for our event!

    We used entertainment essentials as our dj and rented a photobooth. Eric did such a great job, he was pretty much who ran the show the whole evening. He made everything run smoothly and without a hitch. The photobooth was the life of the wedding. Everyone loved going in there with family and friends. It helped to lighten everyone up. If I ever need any other of their services I will definitely use them.

    The planning process was very professional, effective and efficient! From beginning to end they made the experience simple and convenient. All questions were thoroughly addressed and all communication was extremely prompt. Their professional use of technology in the planning process gave me nothing but the utmost confidence in them. We were planning this wedding in Paoli, IN from Dayton, OH which created some challenges. Those challenges were easily met by Eric and his crew. Our meetings were done remotely via their online conferencing service which made things much easier. Once we were at the event things were flawless! They were great at reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor! I couldn't be more pleased.

    Thank you for the kind words, Bryan and Karla!

    Eric and his team were wonderful! I cannot say enough good things about them! They meet with us multiple times to discuss our wants and needs. The online planner tool made us feel so confident and comfortable that everything was going to go as planned. Everyone had an amazing time at the reception. Eric and his team kept the flow and all of the guest up and about! Again, they were amazing!

    Entertainment Essentials was AMAZING! Eric had everything perfectly planned out and I was never worried about anything as far as music and sound was concerned. Our ceremony music was perfect and it all went flawlessly. Our reception was so much fun and they kept everyone dancing and having a good time. We really appreciated all the meetings we were able to have with Eric and felt like he was incredibly professional about the whole thing. We really enjoyed our experience with them and everyone at our wedding continues to talk about how awesome the DJ was. Thanks for everything!

    Eric and his team were very professional and kept our wedding flowing smoothly. They were able to oblige last minute changes with ease with their knowledge and flexibility. You won't need a wedding planner with Eric coordinating everything on the big day.
