Highly recommend!

Jim at Direct Entertainment is simply wonderful - he was quick to reply, easy to work with, and perfectly professional. We are SO happy with the value of this service and credit how much fun we had to Jim's DJ pairing for us. We had a small wedding of about 50 guests and DJ Drew was absolutely PERFECT! He reached out to us beforehand to review everything before the big day, right down to our favorite songs. On the day of, he was timely, patient, flexible, and SO FUN (everyone loved him)! We would absolutely recommend Direct Entertainment and DJ Drew without hesitation!

Best day ever!

We booked Direct Entertainment for our DJ needs for our wedding reception. My #1 ask was for someone who had experience doing Chinese/Vietnamese weddings because they are a little different than your traditional American wedding.

The great thing about this company is that they will match you up with someone that fits the needs the best for what you want for the wedding. We were assigned with Deshawn and he was SO amazing. He worked so cohesively with our MC and there was zero hiccups during the wedding itself. The crowd loved the music and the energy he brought. Communication was always clear and I never felt confused/lost at all during the wedding planning process with them. He felt as excited to be there as we were and we really appreciated that.

Great Entertainment Package

Andrew was a great MC and put together an anniversary dance count down with a mash up of everyone's first dance wedding songs, by the end of the countdown everyone was on the dance floor. Go Andrew and Go Jim from Direct Entertainment. All our guests said they had a blast!

10/10 Recommend!!!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect!
Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there!
Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!!
Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well.
Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well!

Amazing DJ! Look no further!!!

Brian, our DJ was fantastic. He was so attentive and followed every request to a T. He was SO happy for us and truly genuine in his well wishes for me and my husband. He kept the dance floor packed all night, filled in the blanks where I couldn’t come up songs, and kept everything running smoothly! We appreciate him so much, and wish Mr. Brian the absolute best. Jim, the owner, was also extremely communicative and so easy to work with and kind. It’s more than just a business to them, they actually care about your special day. Direct entertainment has the best pricing and package options by far, and the level of care was unmatched from the very first conversation. Thank you Brian & Jim from the bottom of our hearts! We want to do it all over again!!!!

Jim was easy to work with in terms of coordination of our day and DJ! Brian was our DJ and he was fantastic! Everyone was having a great time and we were so happy with how well he did! He lept our night flowing, played our favorites, and kept us and our guests dancing and begging for more time. I would recommend Direct Entertainment as our experience was awesome.

Great experience, easy to work with, high quality

I hired a photobooth from Direct Entertainment for my wedding. The company was super easy to deal with . Very responsive and friendly. They even worked with keeping our package sized properly for our guest count, saying extra hours was not necessary for our wedding size. The guest had a riot with the props they brought to the photobooth. The picture quality and experience was miles better than other weddings I have been too. My reception area was space limited and the staff were able to find a setup that worked well and got the vast majority of our guest into the booth.

A night full of energy!

My experience with Direct Entertainment was excellent. We used their services for our Dj, and Videographer. Jim the head of Direct Entertainment was nice to work with, he was very helpful with any questions me and my wife had when we were first looking to hire them and was very reasonable with the price. He was very nice to give us the old rate when we were first looking for DJ's rather than the new rate that went up by the time we decided to go with them. It was nice that when you add on more services and bundle you get discounted, so that was another plus with using Direct Entertainment. For the DJ, we had Michael who was absolutely amazing and fun and knew how to get the party going and to never stop. I am someone who wants to be always on the dance floor and be able to actually dance to songs. We had created a playlist for him that he went by and expanded on perfectly. Prior to our wedding Michael reached out to us a couple of times to go over details and how we wanted things. He is the professional so when it came to certain things we told him do what he thinks works best or will flow best, and let me tell you, he didn't disappoint! I can't praise him enough! All of my guests loved his energy and everything he did. He offered us this nice LED photo booth when we were originally going with an enclosed one. I am happy we took his advice on that since it looked so cool and great, and I know it got a lot of good feedback from our guests. From the start of our day all the way to the end Michael was just awesome and professional and again made our wedding one to remember. If you see this Michael, thank you again so much!!

For our videographer we had Dave, he was very nice and professional. I can't say much on him since we will have to see how the video/videos came out but from what I saw him take I know we are both excited to see how he captured our special day. I know a lot of our guest liked him and enjoyed him coming around to each table to get a little something from each person with his little mic. So we can't wait to hear what people had to say! My wife didn't want a videographer at first especially since she didn't want to pay more money but with the bundle and after seeing how perfect our wedding was I just know she is going to appreciate Dave and my choice to hire him and seeing him capture the whole day. Dave it was a pleasure working with you and I hope you enjoyed your time with us and the wedding.

On behalf of my wife and I we highly recommend Direct Entertainment for any of your services and especially ask for Michael (DJ) and Dave (Videographer).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
