Collins Entertainment

Collins Entertainment exceeded our expectations! Having an energetic and packed dance floor was a priority for me going into wedding planning, and Jared did not disappoint. We also added the live sax player, which was a huge hit with everyone. 10/10 would recommend!

Collins entertainment did such a wonderful job for us. There staff is proffesional, passionate, and knowledgeable when it comes to everything you would expect from a professional DJ. Our experiance was above and beyond everything we hoped it would be. Thank you so much!!!!

We are so happy we found the Collins Entertainment team for our wedding day! DJ Charlie was an awesome teammate in our planning process and made us feel at ease from start to finish on the big day. From the initial coordination with Mitch, to emailing back and forth with Mitch, the owner Jim, and Charlie to address our questions, to the respect for our song requests and capturing our overall theme, we were really pleased throughout.

We appreciated the event planning platform, which forced us to think through all of the questions that a DJ, the Master of Ceremonies, really needs to know to make an event successful. The Collins team also sends periodic wedding countdown reminder e-mails that are extremely helpful and ensured that we were doing the right things at the right time.

We only had two minor complaints. First, we were unhappy that one profane rap song made it into the dancing portion of the night - which in fairness may have been requested by one of our family members - but it really threw off the vibe for us for a couple of minutes (especially because we had a lot of family and older guests in attendance). Not sure if others noticed it as much, as the dancing continued regardless. Second, the website platform is a little unintuitive, and could probably use an update in the next few years: the site is also not integrated with any music platform (like Spotify or YouTube), which made it a little cumbersome to toggle between browser windows.

Our ceremony was extremely important to us, and we were nervous about it because it was outdoors and we weren’t entirely sure how the acoustics and electrical setup would work at the venue. Charlie made sure that the prelude and processional music and ceremony audio were perfectly timed, at the right volume, and that the microphone and other equipment were functional without interruption. While it’s probably an industry standard, we still truly appreciated that Charlie matched our dress code for the wedding, and looked super sharp in his suit despite the August weather and the air conditioning failing in the reception area just before the wedding!

Charlie captured our requested music themes for the cocktail hour and throughout the reception, made the right introductions and announcements throughout. He did a fantastic job of reading the room and keeping things moving, and provided the exact level of interaction and number of announcements that we were hoping for. It all felt very natural. People danced throughout, despite it being hot in the building, and Charlie kept everybody moving and built off our requested playlist very well. We were also so glad we chose the uplighting option - it made the reception area look so much better as the evening progressed, and we couldn’t imagine the space without that detail.

We were really going for a classy, timeless wedding day, and Charlie and the Collins Entertainment team did a phenomenal job of making that a reality. They paid attention to the details, were extremely professional yet relatable, and demonstrated skill in their craft. We’ve been to so many weddings and the choice of a DJ can really make or break the day. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Collins Entertainment for our wedding every time, and we strongly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding or event!

Collins Entertainment is fantastic to work with from the planning process all the way through to wedding day! Their quick responsiveness to emails always made us feel prioritized and confident in our decision to choose them. We had DJ Charlie for our wedding and absolutely loved working with him! He paid attention to every detail, listened to our requests and kept the dance floor packed lthe entire night!! We even had the fire alarm go off at our venue which led to a 30- minute extension of the reception and he stayed without any hesitation which we appreciate so much! We definitely recommend using Collins for your next event!

Just had my wedding this past Saturday 9/13/25. We had DJ Charlie and he is AMAZING! Very communicative, helpful and super nice!! If I ever have events in the future that I need a DJ for I will definitely be requesting Charlie. Thank you!!!

We had an incredible experience at our NYE wedding with Collins Entertainment and DJ Charlie. Charlie was very communicative in the lead up to our wedding and was very thorough in helping us throughout the wedding planning process. Their online platform is great for adding information. Our guests all said they had an incredibly fun time - our dance floor was packed all night and Charlie led us in the countdown to ring in the new year! We also HIGHLY recommend the saxophonist - he was absolutely incredible, all our guests loved him, he did a phenomenal job and was such a nice surprise for our guests! He helped keep a lively atmosphere all night and was so good! Would definitely recommend

Very happy with Collins Entertainment! They were professional the entire process and Maurice was very interactive on the wedding day. The dance floor was always filled and guests commented on how good the music was. Our requests and special songs were played and our specific requests were listened too. Maurice made sure to check in on us throughout the night as well, not just about the music but how we were doing in general which I thought was a nice touch! I was excited about booking Collins after seeing all the great reviews and my expectations were met!

DJ Jared provided much more than the soundtrack to our wedding. He arrived early to ensure the sound for our ceremony - including mics for our officiant and readers. For cocktail hour, he played the perfect mix of classic and contemporary music and was a great emcee for speeches throughout dinner. Once the dance floor opened, he incorporated our must-play songs with some of his own selections, as well as requests from our guests. It all added up to a great night with great energy.

We booked Collins Entertainment for our wedding on 6/7/24. From the initial meeting to the night of Jim and Jared were so very helpful. Jared was constantly checking in on us to make our night go smoothly, the music was so grest we didnt leave the dance floor all night! All of our guests said the music was awesome and all our feet hurt from dancing! Jared had the dance floor packed all night.

We are so happy we booked Collins Entertainment. From day 1 they had great support and communication. They helped with planning of the time line for the day and kept everything running smoothly the day of. We had DJ Maurice for our wedding day. He was outstanding! Everyone felt like he was a part of our family and felt like we have known him for years. He was entertaining and kept everyone dancing!
DJ Maurice listened to our music requests and did a fantastic job mixing all the different genres we like. You can tell he loves his job and is very easy to work with. Not only our families were happy with him but the hotel staff kept saying how amazing he is. We will highly recommend them to everyone we know!
