Highly recommend if you want a unique and unforgettable wedding!

Ken and Amp Event Professionals were, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! :) From start to finish, Ken brought an unmatched level of energy, creativity, and professionalism that made our wedding truly unforgettable!

From the very beginning, Ken was incredibly helpful and organized. He checked in with us early, provided a clear and thoughtful timeline, and ensured we stayed on track while planning the entertainment for our big day. His experience and knowledge was evident in every conversation. He offered excellent guidance, while always keeping my husband’s and my personal preferences at the center of every decision. We felt completely supported and confident throughout the process.

Our guests still cannot stop raving about him! Ken created so many unique and unforgettable moments; from the personalized ceremony and dance voiceovers, to the surprise wedding footage during our reception, cool CO₂ guns, fun photo dash, stunning lighting, entertaining visuals, and of course, the absolutely phenomenal music! The energy never dipped for a second. I have honestly never seen a dance floor stay so packed at a wedding, people were dancing from start to finish 💃🏻. Many of our friends and family told us that they teared up during the voiceovers, and our parents were especially touched by the voiceovers/slideshow we created for them with the help of Ken 💕. Ken also made our first dance extra special with the heartfelt slideshow that was played during it. Everything felt deeply personal and perfectly curated to us!

Ken also went above and beyond by helping us bring a unique wedding game (that my husband and I created) come to life. He executed it flawlessly, creating amazing visuals and audio that made it a huge hit with our guests.

Working with Ken was an absolute joy. He truly exceeded every expectation and went above and beyond in every possible way. We are so incredibly grateful to have had him as such an integral part of our wedding day. You can tell Ken has so much love and passion for his career, and truly cares about each of his clients! We genuinely could not imagine our wedding without Amp Event Professionals, we highly recommend them!! :)

Best DJ Ever!!!!

Ken was an absolute rockstar from start to finish. He met with us multiple times before the big day to make sure every detail was perfect, from the ceremony to the final song of the night. He was extremely detail-oriented, coordinating seamlessly with our other vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly. As an MC, he went above and beyond to keep the day flowing perfectly and the energy high all night.

What really stood out was how much Ken truly cared about us as a couple. He was genuinely excited for our wedding and helped us with several personal add-ons that made the day feel uniquely ours.

His setup is truly next-level: a one-of-a-kind DJ booth with a big screen for day-of photos, custom music videos synced to his mixes, and even CO2 guns that took the dance floor to the next level. He also suggested adding walk-up songs for our wedding party’s speeches, which was a fun idea and a total hit with our guests. We got so many compliments afterwards, and everyone wanted his card!

All in all, Ken is an amazing MC, an excellent DJ, and just an awesome person to work with. He kept the dance floor packed all night and made our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend!

If we could give Ken 100 stars, we would.

From start to finish, Ken made our wedding unforgettable. He brought incredible energy, kept the dance floor packed all night, and added so many unique touches. So many guests told us, “I’ve never seen that at a wedding before!”

He didn’t just DJ—he created an experience. Ken took live videos throughout the day, projected highlights during the night, and mixed in live video of our guests on the dance floor, which made it even more interactive and fun. The very next day, he sent us a highlight reel of our ceremony to relive the magic.

Ken also brought in a live sax player and the mashups he created with it were incredible. Our guests were completely wowed and it was a huge highlight of the night. It was the kind of dance floor you couldn’t step away from (not even to use the bathroom) because every song was a banger.

On top of all that, he’s an absolute pro—organized, detailed, and fun to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered.

Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him. We can’t recommend Ken enough!!!

So much fun!

We hired Ken for our wedding, and he far exceeded our already high expectations. From start to finish, he brought an incredible energy that turned our reception into an unforgettable party. The dance floor was packed all night- it honestly felt like we were in a club, in the best way possible. We’ve had so many guests tell us it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever been to, and Ken played a huge part in that.

Phenomenal

We had the pleasure of working with DJ Ken for our wedding, and he was absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning, Ken was proactive, organized, and clearly experienced—he knew what questions to ask and how to properly prepare for the day of. On wedding day, he knew exactly how to keep the flow of the night smooth and stress-free. His positive energy was infectious, and once the dance floor opened up, he kept it going. People were dancing nonstop!

Ken truly takes ownership of his role and goes above and beyond. He seamlessly collaborated with our other vendors, helping to ensure everything stayed on schedule and felt cohesive. It really felt like he was part of the team, not just a hired vendor.

If you want someone who’s reliable, full of energy, and totally committed to making your wedding unforgettable, Ken is your guy.

RUN don’t walk!

If you’re looking for a GREAT DJ, run don’t walk. Ken and the team at Amp Event Professionals were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. If I could give more stars I would because that’s how wonderful they are!. Ken was always so communicative, sending us reminders and being available for any questions we had throughout the process (which as a bride planning can be very overwhelming and he was always there to reassure me) the online portal Ken has literally makes everything seamless and is so organized. Ken is more than a DJ - he's a true wedding coordinator who literally ties your whole night together. From the ceremony and introductions to the first dances and the end of the night, Ken truly exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. The unique twist Ken brings to your wedding really highlights your individual love story and made the entire night SO special. Everything was so unique and personalized, and our guests are still raving about it. We couldn't recommend Amp Event Professionals highly enough!

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!

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.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
