Fred was by far one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding! He is incredibly organized and knows his stuff. He was always quick to respond, and offered his help, expertise and opinions every step of the way. He was incredibly accommodating in his set up for our ceremony. He kept things running very smoothly throughout the evening and got everyone on the dance floor, which was no small feat as we had a somewhat conservative group! He catered to everyone’s requests and an excellent time was had by all. Several of our guests even commented to us afterwards about how much they loved him!

Fred was amazing! I would highly recommend using his services for any event that you are looking to host, especially a wedding. He was very organized, provided the communication in a timely manner, and allowed us to have song requests. He was fair and honest with the pricing.

Very professional, kept it fun and light, willing to work around our special requests for the evening. Played a great variety of music, which helped keep all age groups dancing :)

I would also like to mention that he was more than a DJ for the night, he was also a MC for the night. This is important as a DJ typically just plays music but Fred helps to keep your event moves smoothly. We were very impressed with him!

People told us that was the best reception they had ever been too. He helped make that possible :)

It was an absolute pleasure working with Fred Bishop. Not only did we have a lot of fun listening to his tunes on the day of our wedding, but also had an incredible experience leading up to the event. We were planning our wedding remotely and Fred was able to meet with us numerous times to talk about the flow of the reception and brought up details that we hadn't even thought of! He was gracious in working with us to figure out a plan when our event drew near and the projected weather was cold and raining. Luckily we had a beautiful, sunny day in the Upper Peninsula, but we took great comfort that had the rain started Fred had a plan of what to do. The day of our wedding reception Fred arrived early to ensure he had an ideal set-up, dressed to meet our guests attire, and throughout the event worked with the event staff and our wedding party to create a smooth flow of the event. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience working with Fred, Grant and I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation.

Fred was great! My wife and I were very pleased with the service we got from him. Our wedding venue mentioned to us they had never worked with a DJ who was so thorough so early in the planning process. He made it easy for us to have songs on a "do not play", "play", and "play if possible" list as well as for our guests to request songs. He has a very large library on his website to choose from but if he doesn't have a song you would like to have played, all you have to do is ask! We also had some special moments in our wedding that he thought up or had done before that we otherwise wouldn't have even thought to do. We cant say enough good things about this company and if you have the chance to hire Encore for your event we would highly recommend you do!

Fred was awesome! He was helpful when I was a clueless bride, was patient and gave excellent suggestions. Our big day couldn't have run as smoothly without him!

Fred was the perfect wedding DJ! The layout of his website made it very easy for my fiance and I to organize our musical choices for our reception, we were able to curate a personal playlist of must have songs and also let Fred know which songs we did not want played. He took the time to connect with us over the phone before our wedding and review the timeline of the day as well as all of the song choices for the ceremony, special dances for the reception, and reception music.

The day of the wedding Fred was nothing short of a trooper! We had initially planned to have the reception outside but it was pouring rain the day of our wedding forcing us to move from Plan A to Plan B to Plan C. Fred adjusted easily to the change of plan and did an amazing job from the start of our ceremony all the way through the very last song at the reception. He truly captured our musical taste throughout the reception and got everyone out on the dance floor! We received many compliments on the musical selection and our DJ! Our wedding wouldn't have been possible without Fred, I highly recommend him for anyone getting married in the Austin area.

DJ Fred was amazing! He was quick to respond to any questions, has a helpful website with music recommendations to help plan your event, and even met with us in person closer to our wedding date to discuss planning. He provided great insight to our wedding day timeline and helped create a memorable day for us. He provided all of the mics and music for our outdoor ceremony and smoothly transitioned into our reception with fun dance floor lighting. He knows how to pack the dance floor and keep the party going with a great mix of tunes. He kept the crowd happy and even provided a fun surprise for the guests during the garter toss. I cannot begin to recommend him enough; you will be in great hands if you choose Encore Entertainment for your next event.

Fred is awesome. He is very organized, always checks in, and is so nice! Fred's online event manager website was very convenient for pre-wedding music requests and information! At our wedding he played awesome music, kept our guests entertained, and helped us to pull a hilarious garter stunt!
Fred also video our speeches during the reception, which was a very special surprise! I totally recommend Fred!!

DJ Fred was so much fun! He started the party early and kept it going! He was incredibly easy to work with during the wedding planning process. His portal made it easy to keep details together during an otherwise complicated planning time. He was extremely responsive to emails and always was available to answer questions. He worked well with my other vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. He went above and beyond the day-of the wedding and helped with the coordination of music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. I was so grateful that Fred had all of the details together on a fun but crazy day. He was responsive to guest's requests, but also made sure that the music was suitable for all ages that attended the wedding. During the reception, everyone was on the dance floor- from my youngest cousin to my grandmother! No one wanted the party to end! I would definitely recommend him! Please choose DJ Fred! You will be in very good hands and have quite a party!

Hiring Fred was among the best decisions we made. First, he's knows weddings. He has a great sense for the flow of the evening, and was a lot of help to us in planning the reception celebration. We had an outdoor event with an indoor reception, all at same venue. Fred handled background music for ceremony and reception, celebration music following the meal, and acted as Master of Ceremonies to direct the evening. Everything ran just flawlessly.

Leading up to our wedding, we turned to Fred several times for advice and he was helpful every time. He's one of the most responsive people we've ever worked with, he really went above and beyond in making himself available throughout the process. As a quick aside, he's got a fun website which lets you pick from a seemingly unlimited selection of music.

Finally, on the day of wedding, Fred managed a few small issues that came up during the event without losing a beat. Bottom line: Everyone had a great time. It was a memorable night. We recommend him without any reservation.
