About

At Behrens Entertainment playing music is only half of what a bride and groom needs from a Dj on their big night. You need someone to help keep the timeline of events moving, someone to make sure those toast glasses are full, someone to make sure the photographer is involved in everything before it happens, working with guest to let them know what is coming up and how long, working with the venue to make all annoucements and most importantly that the bride and groom only have to worry about saying "I DO".

The price for up to six hours is $1200 with a $250 security deposit. The security deposit does get applied towards the overall price and is non-refundable. Once I have the security deposit I will block that day out for you. I take great pride in nine years of weddings that I have never booked or missed a wedding.

Included in that price is travel to and from the venue within 100 miles off the Salt Lake Valley , all the equipment needed for the ceremony music and the mic for the officiant, equipment for the reception, dance floor lighting if you would like, as many meeting as we need to plan the greatest night ever, all announcements and a night you and your guest will always remember! I will send you an Excel sheet that we will work off of to plan the night. So not only are you getting a Dj/MC but a mini wedding planner as well. By planning everything ahead of time it will allow me to work with the photographers to make sure they capture all the moments, the venue for cake and catering. My number one goal is to make it so you and your family just get to enjoy the night and not worrying about what should be happening and when. You are welcome to pay via credit card, check or Venmo.

Example:

If the ceremony starts at 5pm I will be there at 4pm to make sure everything is set up and ready to go. At 4:45pm I will have background music playing as guest arrive. In this cenerio the six hour package would last until 11pm.

When we meet we will go over what kind of music you like, don’t like and what kind of ambiance you would like throughout the night.

September log Haven Wedding

Cris is professional, kind, and considerate. He made our wedding day seamless. We had another musical performer at our wedding play us through the ceremony as well as through cocktail hour. Cris not only helped work out the equipment necessary to make this all happen, but he planned every detail through with Faith (our wedding planner) to make sure all transitions were smooth. Last but not least, HE IS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY! We had so many guests compliment us on amazing DJ both on the night of our event and after. He knows how to read the crowd and keep all our guests engaged. He even learned our guests names to help engage in inside jokes and really make our day and immersive experience for all our guests. Thank you Cris. It's difficult to overstate just how amazing and critical you were to the success of our big day. Love, Dan and Vy

10/10 would highly recommend!

Cris was amazing to work with! He coordinated with us and our venue before and during the event. He got people dancing and even gave my brother, who married us, tips before he started. Cris got people dancing and danced with us. He kept to our scheduled and adjusted his when it changed. 10/10!

Most amazing DJ, ever!!

Cris was incredible! You did such an amazing job of keeping the entire day on track, so we wouldn't have to worry about it. Music was great and he was very interactive with all of our guests, which made it amazing. We had so many friends tell us how amazing he was. You can't go wrong with hiring him!

Simply Amazing

Where do I even start with this guy?! Coolest ever! Hands down! Cris ran the wedding! He made sure everything ran smoothly, made all the announcements, asked me if I was okay with anything and everything he did, was so good with the music and dancing portion, and fun!!! Such a fun guy! I loved that he danced too, had a great sense of humor! The guy came out wearing a horse mask and everyone loved it! 😂 Priceless! He offered to get me a drink a few times, kept asking if I needed anything, and he will gladly be the bad guy if you need him to. Which for me, as the bride who doesn’t want to confront someone about something - that was such a relief for me!
I strongly believe that your DJ can really make your wedding, this guy knows the game! He is so talented and awesome, I will always recommend Cris to any friends getting married! Thank you so much Cris!! I’m so glad you were a big part of our special day!

Incredible DJ, Emcee, and more

Cris DJed our recent wedding at River Bottoms Ranch and crushed it! From playing excellent tunes to bringing fun props along, he kept the dance floor bumping. Plus, he went above and beyond the work of a DJ by fixing the buffet when it got messed up, keeping us on track with the timeline, and creating a fun, festive vibe all night long. Cris is one of our best vendor choices of the night. Can't recommend him enough!

He was the BEST DJ for our wedding!

Cris is an amazing DJ that is fun, great to work with and can read a crowd to keep the night going smoothly. A number of our guests came up to me and complimented how great a DJ we had. He was patient and helped work with our timeline before hand and coordinated with our day of planner to make sure we didn't have to worry about anything. The DJ can sometimes make or break your night, so have peace of mind knowing that he is awesome to work with and will make your night incredibly fun!

Made happy memories for a lifetime

I cannot recommend someone more wholeheartedly. We were blending families and had a lot of considerations about the wedding ceremony and reception. Cris was flexible, proactive and FUN. All my friends were so impressed with the cake cutting, the seamless integration of music during the ceremony and the non-stop dance party during the reception. Many people danced the entire night. He was prepared and worked extremely closely with the photographer and VJ to make sure all events were captured on film. He was also a calming force throughout. The personal touches -- especially the last dance -- were totally on point.

Amazing, fun evening!!

We hired Chris with Behren’s entertainment as our DJ without ever meeting him. I am so happy we made that choice. He made the planning portion really easy & filled in any blank spaces with great songs that got people moving. He also MC’d the whole reception & kept everything moving along. Everyone said we had the most fun wedding they had been to & a lot of that was due to Chris. I can’t recommend him enough. You won’t regret hiring him!!

Hands Down the Best

Cris is seriously the best. After going to several weddings where he DJ'd we knew we definitely wanted him to DJ ours, and he knocked it out of the park! He was so easy to work with, played exactly what we wanted as well as some other excellent suggestions, and I don't think there was ever a moment where people weren't dancing. Cris was also invaluable in terms of organization and keeping the wedding going. He helped coordinate with our photographer and the wedding party, announced when everything would happen, and generally kept everything flowing. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Cris!
