About

So you think you can not afford a good professional:

1) DJ (Disc Jocky), 2) VJ (Video DJ), 3) KJ (KJaraoke DJ), 4) Mobile Parade DJ, 5) Outdoor Movie Provider, 6) Event Photographer, 7) Modified "Silent Disco" (TM) provider, 8) Dance Instructor or, 9) FM Radio and Bluetooth sound/music transmission for your Wedding Event??

Keep on reading..

Sunshine Entertainment's prices are surprisingly low and reasonable because we have very little overhead, own all equipment used, and feel that hiring a DJ, VJ, KJ, Sound Tech, event photographer, or FM radio broadcaster should not cost an arm and a leg.

Sunshine Entertaiment has three full sound systems and lighting available for events and venues that have activities and/or programs located at up to four separate locations at the venue. Perfect for events requiring sound/music at multiple locations with no "Dead Air" (example would be - #1 ceremony location on the beach, #2 cocktail hour by the pool, #3 Dining Room dinner - Wedding Party intro, dinner music, toasts #4 Reception/Dance in the main ballroom) and the entire event can simocast through "Sunshine Entertainment Radio".

Included for most DJ packages at no additional charge - "DJ Cam" photography - I am a professional event photographer and will take supplemental pics from the "DJ's Prospective", "Free" First dance dance lessons - as a professional dance instructor and choreographer, I can help you prepare for your first dance at your wedding - dances include - Swing, Line Dance, Country Western, Latin, and Ballroom. and finally if the venue has a clear wall - - Karaoke, Music/Dance videos, Wii Just Dance videos, and Lip Sync videos are also available.

Thank you it was a perfect night!

Chris at Sunshine Entertainment was perfect for our needs. We were a very small laid back wedding and we probably could have used a phone to play music but I didn't want to have to think about it or ask someone to be the keeper. He was affordable and offers a ton of different options for pricing which others do not have. Even though there was only 3 of us dancing most of the night it was still perfect and everyone commented on the music. Chris sent a ton of info on other wedding timelines as examples so I could use that to help organize our timeline. It was very helpful. He was very accommodating when we had to postpone due to COVID. Thank you Chris!

Chris was amazing

Chris was amazing.
He was the perfect balance between professional and fun. He did everything he was suppose to and what he told us he would. Everything went great. From the ceremony music to intros, dance's, speech, cake cutting, garter bouquet and the rest of the night was done perfectly.
Everyone had a great time.
Great job.

We recently hired Chris to DJ my father-in-law's 90th birthday party. Chris was great! He got back to me very quickly regarding his availability and pricing. In the weeks before the party, we emailed back and forth many times regarding song selections. No matter how seemingly obscure the songs I came up with were (many from the 30's and 40's)...Chris managed to find what we needed and came through for us. On the day of the event, he was on time--very cooperative and overall wonderful! I look forward to hiring Chris again in the future.

Chris was very accommodating to our busy schedule, his prices were fantastic and I loved that he gave us a 'free' dance lesson which made our first dance much easier to do. Being gen X'ers, my husband and I are always on our phones emailing and texting, Chris does not text - not really a problem, but there were times we had to wait a couple hours for him to reply to a question. The Gobo or Gobi monogram light that he created for us was fantastic!!! Really cheap in price but very high in quality. And to top it off, with his free "DJ Cam" abilities, he also took some of the best pictures of our ceremony!!! If you choose Chris at Sunshine Entertainment for your wedding or party, you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I used Sunshine Entertainment for our outdoor wedding reception. When we first met Chris, he was very nice, listened to our needs and our budget. He gave us a complementary dance class, which was helpful and started us off on the right foot.

In the months leading up to the event, his responsiveness was extremely delayed and we had to follow up multiple times before getting an answer.

On the day of the event, Chris seemed flustered at the beginning, although our day of person was keeping him informed through the process. He had a different attitude than when we first met with him. When introducing us, he mispronounced our names after saying them correctly at all of our previous meetings. During table announcements for dinner, he came off rude to our guests and approached tables to complain. We provided songs to him ahead of time and asked to not take requests. However, he took requests and didn’t play songs which we collected from guests ahead of time.

Although it was a rocky start, he was able to get our guests to the dance floor for the entire reception.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
