A perfect day for our daughter's wedding

Charles was amazing! From the first time I reached out to him to our daughter's wedding day, he was always available to ask questions and collaborate with us to make that day a perfect day!
His planning skilks made it so easy for us to put the plan together. He arrived 3 hours before the wedding, made sure the music and sound system was perfect for the ceremony. From there he took on many tasks to ease our efforts, even offering to release tables for dinner. I have never been to a wedding where the DJ kept things going so well. The dance floor was never empty. I highly recommend Charles and Beam Entertainment!

Wedding DJ

I truly can’t say enough good things about Charles! Throughout the planning process, Charles was easy to get in contact with and always willing to accommodate our song requests. On the day of the wedding, Charles was extremely easy to talk to and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I truly didn’t have to worry about a thing!

When it came to the dance floor, he was nothing short of amazing! He kept the dance floor full all night and played all the songs our guests requested. Not only did Charles provide great music, but he also joined in some of our fun digital photos and even let us do karaoke!!

10 OUT OF 10 RECOMMEND!!!

Wedding DJ

Charles was the BEST person to work with. He edited a song for me for my dance with my dad because I needed it to be slowed down, he met with us beforehand a couple of times to make sure that he understood what we wanted, and was very responsive when we had questions. On the day of, he exceeded our expectations by being personable with our crowd and helping us to keep the dance floor packed! His transitions between songs were smooth and it felt like we were at a club. IT WAS AMAZING! I cannot emphasize enough how much we valued having Charles at our wedding. He was reasonably priced and he even impressed the venue owners to the point where they commented on wanting him on their recommended vendors list. We highly highly recommend Charles Beam especially above any other DJ company that sends a random guy out.

Beam Entertainment Was Awesome!!

We had a great experience with Charles from Beam Entertainment. From the beginning, he was super professional, responsive, and was great at offering advice and listening to what we had envisioned for our wedding. With his set up, he was able to accommodate our outdoor ceremony, our indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and our outdoor first dances. He was able to transfer the music wherever we needed which was exactly what we were hoping for. Also, during the dance, he played the right music to keep the guests out on the dance floor from start to finish. He played some awesome remixes and almost every song we included on our request list. We would certainly recommend any couple to book Charles as their wedding entertainment!

Absolutely amazing!

Charles was absolutely amazing! He answered all of our questions during the planning process, paying attention to every detail. On our wedding day, he made sure to check in with us frequently and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We had so many positive comments on the music throughout the night and couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

Amazing!!!

Charles was beyond amazing at our wedding this past weekend! The entire day was perfect, in part because of the music, announcements to guests, and clear communication from Charles. Better yet, our dance floor was full from start to finish and even after an encore song, our guests wanted to keep dancing! It was the dance floor of our dreams! I would absolutely recommend Charles/Beam entertainment to anyone in need of a top-notch, very talented DJ!

Amazing wedding dj

Charles did an amazing job as our wedding day DJ. He went above and beyond to help find solutions for our ceremony music and sound when we ran into difficulty on the day and even did so IN THE RAIN. We felt so lucky to have someone willing to go above and beyond for our special day. He helped with timing and announcements throughout the entire day, including dinner, and gave great introductions for our grand entrance and speeches. Not only that, but he willingly complied to all our the songs on our request list and helped to make the dance an absolute blast. I will be highly recommending Beam Entertainment to all of my friends needing a DJ for their wedding or other events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
