Everything we wanted and MORE!!

Our experience with SSC Entertainment was absolutely PERFECT! From the very beginning, Shannon demonstrated a level of professionalism and experience that made us excited to hire him right off the bat. At the actual wedding, he executed everything we discussed perfectly. The timeline he gave us ran quickly and smoothly, he offered great suggestions, he dealt with last minute rain plans, and lastly, he made sure that my husband and I and our families were well taken care of during special dances, speeches, etc.

Our guests continue to rave about the reception and the dance floor!! He made sure to include songs for every age and literally kept our guests dancing until the very last shuttle. None of us were very good at dancing, but we all felt like we were killing it! I seriously could not have asked for anything better. After the wedding, Shannon shared a google folder with us that had awesome photos from the reception. Our photographer did not stay for the whole reception, so these were such a gift for us to look through and share with others right away!

Although I am still recovering from the BEST party of my life, I've gone to bed smiling every night because of the memories SSC entertainment helped us create. Do not hesitate to book SSC Entertainment for your next event!

The Best Decision We Made — Hire Shannon & SSC Entertainment!

We hired Shannon as our DJ for our wedding in Chicago, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made.

We first heard about him because my husband attended a wedding about 10 years ago where Shannon was the DJ—and to this day, he still remembered what an absolute blast it was and how packed the dance floor stayed all night. Ten years later, we’re happy to say that nothing has changed. If anything, he’s even better.

From the very beginning, Shannon was incredible to work with. He’s kind, responsive, and extremely thorough throughout the planning process. He takes the time to understand exactly what you want and makes sure every detail is dialed in, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day.

And then the reception came—and wow. I’ve truly never seen anything like it. From the moment the dance floor opened until last call, the energy never dipped. Shannon has an amazing ability to read the room, keep the momentum going, and play exactly what people want to hear before they even know they want it. His transitions are seamless.

The vibe was so good that more than half of our guests followed us to the after party next door—which honestly says everything. People just didn’t want the night to end.

Even days later, we’re still hearing from friends and family about how much fun they had and how incredible the music was. Shannon played such a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we can’t thank him enough for that.

If you’re even considering it—don’t hesitate. Hire Shannon and SSC Entertainment. You will be so glad you did.

Shannon is the BEST. My husband and I have watching him DJ in multiple venues and he kills it every time. He is kind, professional, and talented. It was no brainer to have him DJ our wedding and we would choose him again and again.

Shannon helped make our day wonderful!

Shannon went above and beyond for our wedding and we absolutely recommend his services. He was professional, timely, kind, and overall a great DJ who had a feel for the flow of the crowd. We gave him some playlists as a reference and he took it from there and did an excellent job. His setup was great and the speakers were loud, clear and crisp. He nailed the timing of our first dance and even a surprise dance performance from one of our friend groups. He also provided and managed additional lighting that gave the venue a nice warm touch.

We love shannon!

Shannon was incredible from start to finish! From the moment we met him we knew we wanted him as our DJ. He is so professional, fun, and completely in tune with the vibe we wanted. He kept the energy high, the dance floor packed, and the transitions flawless. We also loved that him and his team took photos of the light night dancing after our photographers left- such a fun little bonus of pictures to look at!!

Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had — and it’s all thanks to Shannon’s amazing talent and ability to read the room. He nailed every moment, from the ceremony to the last dance, and made our night truly unforgettable.

Thank you, Shannon, for being such a huge part of our day — we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! 💃🕺🎶

Thank you DJ Shannon!

DJ Shannon was the DJ at my sister in law’s wedding and now our own! Prior to the wedding, Shannon met with us twice to ensure he understood our music preferences as well as the timeline for our day. He was always responsive to us and our coordinator. On the wedding day, I was impressed by the music he curated for our cocktail hour (Bridgerton inspired string music) and received many compliments. For the reception, we shared a playlist of songs but DJ shannon took our songs and made everything flow better than we could’ve imagined! He kept the party going and his assistant taking more photos for us after our photographer left was such a nice touch!! Thank you DJ Shannon!

10 out of 10 experience!!!!

Shannon was not only a fantastic DJ, but was also fantastic in regards to setting up a timeline - almost like a second wedding coordinator. He allowed us to put together a playlist of songs & the general vibe we wanted, and was amazing at taking that & reading the crowd to add even more to the atmosphere. He made sure to play all of our must play requests. The dance floor was going OFF the entire night, starting seconds after the first dance ended, it was amazing. We had so many people comment about how amazing he was, and how it was the most fun they’d ever had at a wedding. In addition to the vibe & consultations he offered, he also went above and beyond by having his assistant provide professional photography for the late night portions of our reception, after our own photographers had left. 10/10 experience!
