Best DJ!!!

Mike was the best. Right from the start of our search, he stood out from other vendors - very easy to work with. He took the time to go over what we were looking for and all the details. He played all of our requests, had us dancing all night, and even kindly took photos and videos throughout our wedding. Thank you Mike for making our wedding the best party ever :)

Great Wedding DJ!

Mike and his team were great at our wedding! They were supportive and there throughout all the changes and rescheduling due to COVID. His online system was easy to use and even had tons of suggestions. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and we had a blast! He shared pictures with us the next day and it was awesome to see them all so soon after the wedding!

Used Critical Entertainment for our second family wedding in the last 10 years. Mike and his staff were awesome. Photographer was awesome and new just what shots the bride and groom wanted to capture. Mike and his DJ’s kept the party going the whole wedding reception and all the guest commented on what a great job the whole crew did. Highly recommend Critical Entertainment and we will definitely be using them for our next family wedding. 👍👍thumbs up.

Critical Entertainment was great!

Mike and his team did an incredible job for our wedding on 10/9. He was extremely organized and everything went perfect, and guests loved the music that he played. I would use Critical Entertainment again for another party in the future, they were great!

Awesome and professional DJ

Dan was our DJ from Critical Entertainment. From the very first phone call I knew we were in good hands! He was very patient with all of our questions and very knowledgeable about the steps and coordination of the wedding. As the wedding got closer his attention to detail was amazing. He made sure to go over all of our song choices together and also made sure he knew all of the bridal parties names and proper pronunciation. He also gave great suggestions on songs and dances for the wedding. The day of the wedding he was on time and professional
And made sure everything ran smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thanks again Dan!!
