Excellent DJ!

We had a great experience with Pulse Entertainment! We had PJ as our DJ at our reception, and he was excellent! We provided a list of 12 or so songs for dancing, and PJ went off of that and made a perfect playlist for us. We got so many compliments from our guests on our music. We also enjoyed that they had different playlists to choose from for background music for cocktail hour and dinner. PJ also did a great job as emcee. Highly recommend!

Pulse Entertainment were very responsive to all of the requests that we had (even those that were last-minute) and they came prepared for all scenarios. We had a great night and cannot thank the team enough for keeping the dance floor energy up!

Pulse Entertainment Made Our Wedding Day Perfect

Karl and his team at Pulse Entertainment were absolutely fantastic to work with! From the very beginning, everyone at Pulse was responsive, kind, and eager to help make our wedding day the absolute best. The detailed questionnaire and planning tools they provided made the process smooth and ensured that the music and flow of the evening perfectly reflected what we envisioned.

Working with PJ, our DJ, was such a great experience. He completely captured the vibe we wanted for both us and our guests, seamlessly blending songs across genres and generations. The dance floor was packed the entire night, as our guests truly didn’t stop dancing, and we received so many compliments not only during the reception but even the next day. The photo booth was also a huge hit! Our guests loved it, especially the kids, who couldn’t get enough of all the fun props. It added such a playful and memorable element to the evening.

From the pre-ceremony music all the way through the last dance, Pulse Entertainment set the perfect tone and created an unforgettable celebration. We are so grateful for their professionalism, talent, and energy, and we cannot recommend them highly enough to future couples!

Great, professional, responsive experience!

Pulse was very responsive, and sprang into action when one of the DJ's had to cancel last minute. They quickly found a great replacement and our wedding went so smoothly! We recommend Pulse to anyone!

Christian was amazing!

We had an amazing experience with DJ Christian from Pulse Entertainment at our wedding! He truly made the night unforgettable. Christian has an incredible ability to read the room, keeping the energy up and the dance floor packed. He was also so flexible with last-minute changes, handling everything seamlessly and with a great attitude. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and the vibe he created. Highly recommend Christian and Pulse Entertainment for anyone looking to make their event unforgettable!

10/10 would recommend!!

We recently worked with Pulse Entertainment for our October 2024 wedding, and used their pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, reception DJ services also their uplighting and photo booth services. The entire team was great- Dani and Karl were very responsive anytime we emailed with questions ahead of time. PJ was our DJ the day of and was INCREDIBLE. Our dance floor stayed packed from the time it opened until the last song. PJ was great at reading the crowd and playing fan favorites all day, especially any of the songs we had suggested ahead of time. One thing we really loved was that we could link Spotify playlists to our questionnaire for each phase of the day to show the vibes we were looking for. We received so many compliments on how much fun the dance floor was and how great PJ was. We can't thank Pulse Entertainment enough!!

A Night to Remember

PJ and his team were kind and helpful in creating a fun night after our ceremony. Their system allowed us to create playlists for the songs we wanted and they did a great job paying attention to the vibe of our friends and family. They came dressed nicely and were on time. We would recommend them to anyone!

I enjoy any opportunity I get to work with Karl and his team. Everyone is always very polite, on time and responsive when my clients have questions or concerns. They are true professionals and always carry back-ups of systems just in case, but I've never known for them to need them because they carry such great equipment.

I've worked with Karl and the people at Stable for a few weddings now and each time they have been extremely professional, prompt, and helpful to myself and the couples. More than this, they provide you with the vibe you want to have at a wedding! They take your wants and needs into consideration to craft a playlist and an experience that is right for the bridal party and the guests. Karl is a great guy to work alongside and each couple I've seen him work with has been glad they had him as their DJ.
