DJ Affan!!

We have no regrets going with Ready Set Dance for our wedding! Tim was easy to work with and personable! Affan was our DJ and he was INCREDIBLE, so fun, outgoing, funny, and got people on the dance floor! #BrunoMars

The best dj

Tim was an absolutely incredible DJ for our wedding! He blew us away, and our guests still keeping talking about how amazing he was. Tim had the guests on the dance floor the entire night, and created key memorable moments for us with our family and friends. He also spent time planning and getting to know us - giving us full confidence ahead of the big day. HIGHLY recommend using Tim to bring his energy and talent to your wedding day or event!

Ready Set Dance Entertainment brings the energy!

I've encountered Ready, Set, Dance Entertainment at a few weddings and a soccer ceremony; and then was honored to for them to DJ my wedding. They consistently bring the energy! They are also very organized and the communication is great! They really took a lot of the planning stress off my shoulders! I am thankful to Tim and their other DJs that I've met. I will certainly be looking to host another event so that I can experience that fun energy again!

A great time

Booking Ready, Set, Dance! Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made to help make our wedding day so special! Tim went above and beyond to hear us out, get a sense of our music choices/style, and then executed by keeping the dance floor PACKED! He played many of the songs we wanted along with other great choices while maintaining smooth transitions throughout. We had an absolute blast and received so many compliments about how fun the reception was. Huge thanks to Tim for being a part of that!! You will not go wrong by booking Ready, Set, Dance! Entertainment!

The best of the best!

We booked in the middle of the pandemic and from the start Tim made us feel comfortable and confident! Tim was the best vendor we worked with out of everyone! We booked with the Visuals package and it was the perfect set up it looked so awesome in our venue. Their response time to emails, texts, or calls was very fast! Tim was our point person for the night he worked with all our crazy requests while also working with all our other vendors to keep us on schedule, on track, and giving us everything we wanted! He truly is the best you would be crazy not to book them!!

Above and Beyond

We were familiar with Tim since he DJ'ed my brother's wedding, so we were already aware of how good his service is. Not only did he deliver yet again at our wedding, he went above and beyond! There wasn't a time when people weren't on the dance floor. Our guests were entertained all night! I couldn't recommend Ready, Set, Dance! Entertainment enough!

Rockin all night long!

We cannot say enough good things about Tim at Ready, Set, Dance! Entertainment. We first booked with Tim in early 2019 for our planned May 2020 wedding. Long story short...we had to reschedule for one year later. Tim communicated with us constantly throughout that year to make sure that our big day, when we eventually got to celebrate, would be perfect. When we first signed our contract, we decided we wanted two of the offered/listed DJ packages. He creatively combined the two so that we would get everything we wanted. Communication and contractual details were easily understood and pricing was phenomenal and definitely workable for our budget. Tim worked with us to incorporate our own creative touches on the day (including a fantastic, live, Blues Brothers themed reception entrance. The music was the best mix of various styles that kept the dance floor rocking all night. Tim not only knows what he is doing but LOVES what he does. If you want a DJ that shows his passion for his work and has fun celebrating you through every moment of your day, go book Ready, Set, Dance, Entertainment!! Right now! GO DO IT! Thank you, Tim! Time for us to schedule another event just so we can have the best DJ around.

Give Tim A Call and Book Your DJ!

Stop your wedding DJ search, pick up your phone, and call to see if Tim can be a part of your wedding day! I have had the pleasure of knowing the RSD crew for many years. When we started wedding planning, I told my husband that we won't need to search for wedding entertainment, because I already had a friend I could trust to start the party! Ready, Set, Dance Entertainment is the leader in wedding, party, and special event entertaining services. Tim has a true passion for his work. He is professional, courteous, and always available to answer your questions. The RSD packages are customizable and fit every couples need. Tim provided the music services for our wedding ceremony as well and did a fantastic job! Our guests and our vendors all had an amazing night! Tim will keep the party going! Trust me, you cannot go wrong. Thank you, Tim...can't wait for future parties! - The Smiths
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
