Would hire Steven 100 times over!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Steven for our wedding! From the ceremony through cocktail hour and into the reception, he kept everything running so smoothly and brought the perfect energy to every part of the day. His input and suggestions helped the day flow seamlessly and created so many special moments we’ll never forget.

Once the reception started, Steven kept the dance floor packed all night long (and even jumped in with some dance moves himself, which our guests absolutely loved)! We got so many compliments from friends and family about how fun, positive, and talented he was.

If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and makes your wedding day unforgettable, Steven is the DJ you want. Truly the best!

Worth every penny

I cannot say enough good things about Steven, Angie, and the team!
I booked Carter Events for my DJ and photobooth about a year and a half before my wedding. Even before booking, Steven was incredibly helpful with all of my questions. After about a week of back and forth, I felt very confident moving forward with them.
About six months later, I decided I wanted a Day-of Coordinator and chose to go through Carter Events since I already had them booked for DJ. Again, every question I had prior to officially booking was answered quickly and thoroughly. They sent over forms to fill out (DJ, DOC, timeline), which gave me a really good starting point for planning.
We had a couple meetings leading up to the day, and they were so helpful. We went through everything, which made me feel really comfortable going into the wedding. The energy Steven brought was amazing.
Steven was great. His setup looked amazing, and everything we asked for was incorporated in a really tasteful way. My fiancé wanted pirate shanties at some point during the night, and Steven worked them into cocktail hour in a way that didn’t feel tacky at all.
There were also things I couldn’t decide on, like the final dance, and I told Steven to just go for it—and what he came up with was amazing. All night, he played music that matched exactly what we liked. He turned away requests for songs he didn’t think we would like (and he was right), and overall just kept the energy up with bangers all night.
On the day of, everyone showed up on time and got right to work. Angie was a huge help with everything—from decor, to managing people, to being the middle person between me and the vendors. She was incredibly friendly, but also very no-nonsense, which is exactly what you need. She kept everything moving and made sure things actually got done.
She helped keep the groomsmen on track, handled communication seamlessly, and executed my decor exactly how I had envisioned it based on my notes. I have a hard time giving up control, but I felt completely comfortable putting everything in Angie’s hands for the day.
From start to finish, they made the entire process seamless and stress-free, which made a huge difference throughout planning and on the wedding day.
Overall, if I had to plan a wedding again (or any big event), I would 100% choose Carter Events for both DJ and Day-of Coordinator. They were one of the best decisions we made, and I truly feel like I got everything I paid for—and then some.

Best DJ Decision

Carter Events and Entertainment is professional & polished and was well-prepared with top-tier equipment that delivered crystal-clear sound for both ceremony and reception. Our DJ was incredibly easy to communicate with and very attentive to every detail. They even offered helpful suggestions for the timing of our special dances—ideas we hadn’t even thought of that made our evening run seamlessly. When our guests were taking breaks, Steven came out on the floor to dance with me (the bride), twirling and having a great time, Steven even taught me the Wobble! The sound system was crystal clear, and their lighting transformed the space, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our choice in hiring Carter Events and Entertainment was the best one we could have made.

Would hire again

We had Steven as our DJ at our recent wedding, and he did an amazing job! He had the dance floor going all night, and brought a lot of fun energy. He really added to the night! We got so many compliments from our guests on him.

I really appreciated the time he took to meet with us before the wedding, and talk through the whole evening. It made the day of much smoother. He did a great job guiding the reception and kept things going smooth. He struck a great balance of bringing a fun presence to the wedding.

If we were planning the wedding all over I would definitely hire him again.

Amazing!!!

Carter Events was incredible to work with! They were very helpful during the planning process and made sure our vision came to life. They kept the dance floor busy all night. They were patient with any last minute changes or ideas that we had. They also had great input on other parts of the wedding, not just the music! Such as timeline, rehearsal, floor plan, etc. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Photo Booth and Uplighting

Steven and his team were very easy to work with and answered any "crazy" question we had for them. Katti worked hard to keep up with the high demand from our guests! I would highly recommend them for their photo booth experience. We also had them do our uplighting, which worked out great and the price point was great!

The Best Wedding DJ – Steven Made Our Day Unforgettable!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Steven from Carter Events and Entertainment for our wedding, and we cannot recommend him enough! From the very beginning, Steven took the time to meet with us multiple times to ensure that every detail was in place and that our vision for the night was exactly how we had hoped.

He was incredibly organized and on top of our timeline, guiding us through each transition of the evening. His attention to detail and communication with us was exceptional and he would regularly check in to make sure we were comfortable with what was coming next, which was so appreciated when you're the busy bride and groom, wrapped up in the day and everything feels like a blur!

Steven was not only professional but also highly engaged with our guests. He kept everyone energized, made sure the music was flowing smoothly, and had an amazing playlist. He even joined in, showing off his dance moves, which made the night even more memorable.

In addition to being fantastic with us and our guests, Steven was also very easy to work with for our other vendors, making the entire day run smoothly.

If you're looking for a DJ who can bring fun, professionalism, and seamless coordination to your event, look no further than Steven and Carter Events and Entertainment. You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you, Steven, for making our day unforgettable and for truly bringing the party!

Amazing DJ!

We had Stephen as our DJ for our small wedding and he was amazing! So full of energy, he went above and beyond to keep our guests engaged and entertained. He even danced with my mother in law and led the group in the macarena & electic slide. I would 1000% recommend Stephen as a vendor to anyone researching DJs.

The best dj!

Ever since booking with Carter Events & Entertainment in 2022, Steven Carter has been absolutely amazing to work with. Every time I reached out with a question, Steven was very responsive and willing to answer my questions as well as give honest advice/feedback from his perspective as the expert.
The energy that Steven brought on the day of my wedding was unmatched and contagious. Our wedding party had so much fun getting ready for the grand march with him. Throughout the reception, Steven would join our guests out on the dancefloor and kept the energy so fun. I don't know how he does it, but his energy did not seem to die at all the entire night. My parents even made a comment to me after my wedding day about how fun it was to watch Steven do his thing - he is an entertainer for sure. I will remember for a long time how much fun I had on the dancefloor thanks to Steven. I truly have nothing negative to say about our experience working with Carter Events & Entertainment.
If I were to plan a wedding again, I would choose Carter Events & Entertainment as my DJ every time. We will be recommending them every chance we get. If you choose Carter Events & Entertainment as your DJ, you will not be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
