Matt is the best in Pensacola!

Everything about Matt DJ’ing our wedding was amazing! He showed up on time (actually early), was professional and paid attention to detail. He was phenomenal and keeping track of what was going on around him and so interactive with our guests and us.

Matt played the songs we really wanted to hear and did a great job weeding through the requests to determine which would fit our vibe or not. He’s a true professional and his experience is evident behind the table.

Matt’s setup is top notch, sound quality was perfect and he’s a perfectly engaged master of ceremonies. If you need a wedding DJ or a DJ for any other event, Matt is your guy!

DJ who can party

This team was fantastic! Kept the dancing going, read the room, took requests, and even let one of our groomsmen behind the dj booth to try his hand a little lol. Overall, I would definitely recommend this company and would use again.

He's your guy!

Matt did an amazing job at our wedding! He did sound for both our ceremony and reception. He listened to all of our requests, nailed the timing and flow of our ceremony, and was a very lively emcee! We received lots of compliments on the music. He worked well with our wedding coordinator and photographer and showed the upmost professionalism. We appreciate all he did for us on our special day! Thank you, Matt!

Fantastic!

Hi Matt, thank you so much for all that you did to make our wedding absolutely perfect!! It turned out exactly how we envisioned it and we couldn't have asked for anything more!! It went off without a hitch!! We got so many compliments from friends and family on what a great job you did with all of the lighting and the music!! Everyone had a blast dancing and they can't stop talking about our reception entrance!! They say it's one for the books and Chuck and I have to agree!! It turned out exactly how we envisioned it!! So many guests commented on how fabulous you are!! You and your assistants outdid yourselves!! The acoustic musician that played during the cocktail hour was fantastic, too!! I know y'all worked so hard and it really showed!! Chuck and I appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts!! 🤘🎶🎉

Wedding Reception DJ

Matt and Powell Entertainment did a great job of coordinating all of the music for our destination wedding ceremony and reception in Orange Beach, AL.
Throughout the planning process there was clear communication which made the big day run smoothly. The online planning tool was very helpful and simple to use. On our big day, everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend Matt and Powell Entertainment when in the Orange Beach / Gulf Shores area.

Awesome dj!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with Matt and his team at Powell Entertainment for our wedding in Pensacola, FL in March 2019! Matt kept the party going all night at the reception - the dance floor was always packed and my guests had an amazing time! He took the time to find out what type of vibe my husband and I were going for with our reception and absolutely made it happen. He even went out of his way before the big day to help me create a special mash up song for my Bride/Father dance! Matt and his team also added lighting to our reception venue and it without question looked amazing and was everything I had envisioned! If you are looking for a great DJ who goes above and beyond - look no further!! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Powell Entertainment! Matt provided music during the ceremony and cocktail hour and kept the party going as dj until the very last minute of the reception. He provided uplighting and dance floor lighting for the reception. I would definitely use Powell Entertainment again!
