Charles was our DJ for our wedding on 11/1/2025. If you’re thinking about having Charles at your wedding or any other event, there is no better DJ & you will not regret it! When I first met with him he was very professional and was passionate about making sure the day was everything we wanted & more! He was very organized throughout the planning process & especially during the wedding! He was truly the life of the party during our reception and make sure all the guests stayed engaged. He even came onto the dance floor with us!! Highly recommend!!

DJ Hayes was absolutely phenomenal. 10 out of 10.

Charles Hayes and his wife went above and beyond leading up to wedding and our entire reception. He had everyone dancing and laughing, then he did his games! So so much fun. He was 100% the life of the party.

We loved having Charles & Haley as our DJs. They were easy to work with and easily navigated some last minute changes to our bridal party introduction. Their song selections during the reception were great and we had so many guests tell us how much fun they had!!

You couldn’t find a better dj. Charles and his wife Hayley are amazing at what they do. Before our wedding they took the time to meet us a couple of times, and even took us out to dinner one night. They truly care about the people, and go the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you wanted out of your event. He has a dj portal where you can add all the songs you want, and even what times you want those songs to be played. The dj portal definitely made things a lot easier. He also has a photo booth that was a big hit at our wedding. Several people have changed their fb profile pics to the photo booth pictures. Charles has great energy; he got the partying/dancing really going, and just made the night really fun. He was also really great at making all the announcements, and making sure the evening progressed smoothly. My wife and I were so busy we’d forget what all we needed to do but Charles kept us in line with the itinerary. Several of our wedding guests made comments on how he was a fantastic dj. As I’m writing this review it still says dj thunder entertainment, but I know he just rebranded to 116 entertainment for Roman’s 1:16. As Christians ourselves, having him be our dj was an added bonus. I know sometimes when you read an all positive review online you question whether it’s real or not but this one definitely is real. We’d give him 10 out of 5 stars if it would let us, and we’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dj.

Charles was the best DJ for our weddin in April of 2021! He made our wedding day so memorable and fun! He will make sure to have people up and dancing (he had a dance off with a member of our bridal party). He was super easy to work with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our daughter, Bryanna and her husband, Layne were excited to welcome Charles E. Hayes as the DJ (DJ Thunder Entertainment) at their wedding reception on Saturday, 11 June 2022. He (and his wife) surprised us all and ignited Bryanna & Layne’s wedding celebration! Great music, showmanship, and professionalism! Everyone absolutely loved Charles!

FYI, Charles is the West Virginia University Music/Dancing Super Fan who is best known for the way he energizes Mountaineer Field Football Stadium fans with his awesome, passionate dance moves as broadcasted stadium-wide from the stands! Featured in ESPN and other national media for his music entertainment prowess!

Charles graciously supports Children’s Miracle Hospital Network (WVU Medicine Children’s) by way of MountaineerTHON.

Thank you so much, Charles!

If you don’t have DJ Thunder as your DJ, then what are you doing?! He was so much fun and really involved everyone of all ages (even got grandmas dancing)! Really invests time in the services he is providing and listens to all your requests

Charles is amazing at what he does. Very personable and he makes sure everything is done to a T. I couldn’t have imagined having another other DJ!

Working with him made planning our reception a lot easier. He was really in tune with what kind of music we were wanting, his set up was great, and he was very professional. The music had all of our friends and family out on the floor. I really can’t recommend him enough.

Great DJ! Charles is very professional and worked with me before the wedding on all of the details. He is really fun and knows how to get the party started. He played all the songs we wanted as well.
