What A Night!

DJ Rich absolutely crushed it as the DJ and MC for our wedding reception. I had the time of my life. My only complaint is that the night had to end!

Our pre-wedding meeting with Rich the week before the event was incredibly helpful. He picked up our vibe right away, and he made sure everything was going to flow smoothly. And sure enough, every transition throughout the night was seamless.

Our reception entrance was electric. DJ Rich energized the entire room.

I literally ran back to the dance floor the few times I had to leave it throughout the night. I didn’t want to miss a minute.

We loved our entire experience with DJ Rich. Highly recommend!!!

The absolute best!!!

From our first meeting with Rich we left knowing we just chose the perfect Dj for our wedding! He was so patient and understanding while having to reschedule the wedding 3 times (thanks covid.) We had quite a few songs that we wanted to start at certain timings and made it happen flawlessly. He took the time to help figure out how we could make the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to work and correspond with the bridesmaids as well. We met one more time the week of the wedding at the venue to go over all the details, the timeline and even brought the up lighting to see what color we wanted to go with and placement of them. Day of the wedding everything went perfectly! Rich made the day go so smoothly, I felt like I got a bonus wedding planner. 😉 Everything stayed on track, I knew exactly what to expect throughout the night and he kept me updated on what is next! We hear all the time how much fun everyone had and got so many compliments on the “rapid fire photo game”(a must do and so much fun) I truly can’t say enough great things about Rich and his team! They played a huge role in making our day perfect!

Premier is an understatement.

Rich and the team at Essence Entertainment are truly a tier above the rest. We worked directly with Rich to book the perfect package for our wedding that fit our needs AND wants. The week prior to our wedding we sat down with Rich to finalize songs - he worked with us to find the perfect music for each special moment, the one hour meeting was so smooth, he put us both at ease as we walked through every last detail and somehow it didn't feel even a little bit rushed.

They truly worked to make our day EXACTLY what we wanted. The night before, we made a last minute decision to move the ceremony outside (70 in November?!) and Rich ran with it without a second thought. The last minute change didn't feel last minute at all because Rich and team are true professionals at what they do. On the day of, Rich and Patryk were so easy to work with, we had so many compliments from the other vendors with how “on it” they were. From music, to emceeing, they truly nailed it - the playlist got everyone on the dance floor, and they even joined in for The Wobble! My MOH’s speech was a Hamilton parody, the music timing was so perfect, you would’ve thought they practiced for weeks leading up.

If you're searching for the perfect DJ/Emcee, LOOK NO FURTHER - THIS IS YOUR DJ TEAM.
