Wonderfully

We really loved working with First Class Entertainment. Kevin was our DJ and was amazing. He took time out of his schedule to meet with us prior to the wedding to go over details and even let us create our own reception playlist.

Amazing DJ!

Charles was amazing helping us prepare for our wedding and DJing the day of our wedding. The music suggestions packet that we were given really helped us pull out songs that everyone would enjoy in addition to a really large list of songs that me and my partner wanted played that aren't standard songs to play. We gave him the freedom to mix in songs that would help segue between songs we liked, and he did an absolutely amazing job playing the right music at the right times and sneaking in some of the more niche songs that we had in our list without disrupting the atmosphere. We got so many compliments on the music, and many people also agreed he did an amazing job.

This is all not to mention how loyally he stuck to our choice for no requests and blacklist of songs, how well he announced the transitions between the different parts of the reception, as well as how kind and enthusiastic he was about helping us. I have no complaints and Charles and First Class Entertainment was one of my favorite parts of a perfect wedding day!

Hire for your wedding!

We had the pleasure of working the First Class Entertainment (Charles) since they are the preferred DJ vendor for the Gateway Clipper. Before our wedding day, he sent us a super detailed packet laying out the music we needed to pick for bridal party walk-ins/cake cutting/specific dances/etc. He listed some popular options to help me and my husband make decisions. Charles communication was 10/10. He was very clear in all his emails and very responsive when I had a last minute bridal party change. During the wedding, he kept dinner and the night moving (which was important to me). He played the best music, played specific songs during the reception, and played any music I asked during the reception. If you don't choose First Class Entertainment for your wedding DJ, you are missing out on a great DJ!

Super Fun DJ!

Our DJ from First Class was Charles Hoffman. Charles was a great DJ for our wedding. He was fun, attentive, and made it so my wife and I never wanted to leave the dance floor all night. Most impressively, he was very flexible on the spot in playing the songs we wanted, when we wanted, and how we wanted. He even helped with non-typical DJ duties such as being in my cousin's BeReal post and helping with crowd control at the end of the night. Charles definitely helped make our wedding reception special.

Free bird took flight baby

First Class Entertainment was the BEST choice for our wedding DJ! I am so particular about the flow of a wedding and they kept it FLOWING seamlessly! They checked in with us if things were running behind and always presented us with a solution instead of just a problem, so it was very easy to say a quick, "Oh yah let's do that!". They honored our music choices while also respecting the father of the bride's song requests (a very difficult balance haha). They kept the dance floor filled the whole night! They knew exactly when to play "Shout" which was a big deal and tradition for my family. That moment did not disappoint. Also if you don't plan on ending your wedding reception with "Free Bird" I suggest you rethink that choice. It starts as a slow hold your lover song and ends with some awesome jumping up and down rocking out!!! Perfect end to a PERFECT night, all made possible by our DJ(who cut the song perfectly, we obviously didn't want the whole 9minute version). DJs are artists and when they take their craft seriously, it shows. Trust them to take you on a journey and they will. The whole night was bliss for me and my husband. A lot of people said it's hard for the Bride and Groom to actually enjoy their own wedding, and we VERY MUCH ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE! Thank you First Class Entertainment!

First class, Five star experience

Julien (Jewels) Cox surpassed every expectation we could have had for our DJ. He is a consummate professional and made our wedding better than we could have imagined. He was there every step of the way through the planning process as well as the wedding day. I would highly recommend Jewels and First Class Entertainment to any bride and groom planning their wedding. So many family and friends said to us after the wedding how amazing our DJ was. We couldn't agree more. Make your life much easier and hire Jewels and First Class Entertainment right away.
