Ken was great! From before we booked him, through the wedding planning, and even after, he has provided an amazing service that can not even be compared to other DJ's. He knows the area vendors well and was able to recommend great choices for reception and catering. He met with us whenever we needed to and always gave us a call back, if he wasn't able to answer.

And now for his bread and butter, the entertainment! He helped us create a reception we nor our family and friends will ever forget. He did an amazing job keeping everyone at the reception involved, young and old. He was able to give us many new ideas to help keep the reception fresh, and was very flexible with the flow and schedule of the evening!

Ken was very helpful in the planning of the music for both the ceremony and the reception. He was able to really pick up an early dwindling reception and keep the party going til almost midnight! Our reception started at 3pm!! We had a great time!

Ken by far exceeded my expectations. He really is more than a DJ, my family and I were so impressed by everything he helped with besides playing the music. I would very highly recommend him to anyone. I know our reception ran smoothly because of him, he definitely knows what he is doing. His services were very personalized and fun!

When you give something full thumbs up (stars) it some times diminishes the value of the review. But Ken deserves them all. He has a very unique personality that works really well as a DJ.

Ken's help with planning the reception is what really stood out. Ken has done weddings before and it shows in the best ways possible. I don't know the problems we would have had without him and thats the point. I would recommend Ken any time you need a professional and/or fun DJ/MC.

Mr Petersen has done a lot of weddings, so he really knows what he is doing when it comes to setting up, lighting, games, etiquette and order of events. I felt that he proved to be a professional except in the area of flexibility. I was very specific about what I wanted and didn't want and I feel that he went against that a few times during the reception.

Ken Petersen's Milestone Event Entertainment Services responded with the following comments:

This is a great review! There is nothing wrong with this 3.4 rating in the middle of 5’s. The power of this review resides in understanding what happens when a DJ is hired from a multi-system DJ company. Kelly’s wedding was the first of three events that weekend for me – two (including Kelly’s) for another company and one of my own. Kelly had been working with “an office” up to a couple weeks before her wedding day. She and her family didn’t know who her DJ was going to be until 2 weeks beforehand. I wasn’t “inflexible” – I just didn’t understand the flow of the night. I knew the “how” she wanted her evening done but I didn’t fully understand the “why.” When a client directly books my service, I start with the entire “why reasons” of the day, and then work hand-in-hand making all the “how plans” to do it. Kelly and her parents were very enjoyable to work with. It was a pleasure to involved with Kelly’s wedding day!

I would advise everyone I know that is getting married to call Ken. He stepped in for us when our D.J. quit just a short time before our wedding. My father also passed away July 1 2008 ansdwe got married July 4 2008. He made our day like noone else could have and yet took a moment to honor my Dad. He is the BEST!!!!

Ken did a great job providing music, sound and lighting for our event. This is the first time we'd used a DJ instead of a band, and didn't quite know what to expect. We were thrilled with the results. Ken worked well with our committee and he was responsive to our needs and requests. The night of the event, Ken incorporated unique and fun elements that helped keep our audience engaged throughout the evening. We look forward to working with him again!
