Dj ken was amazing!

We had the most incredible experience with DJ Ken!! Our main goal for our wedding was for everyone to have a great time and dance...and everyone danced all night long!! We had to switch venues 3 months out and Ken was very responsive and flexible and helped make that process so much easier.. not to mention he was already known and loved by the coordinators at both venues and worked closely with them. He has a software that was so easy to use and allowed us to choose our favorite songs that we wanted played at the wedding. He also met with us before the wedding to go over the timeline of the night and the flow of the songs. He did a fabulous job with our ceremony music and absolutely rocked it during the reception! Ken was great at reading the crowd and keeping everyone dancing and having a great time!! No one wanted the night to end! Everyone could not stop telling us how amazing he was - he even had couples telling us they wished they had him for their wedding! Booking DJ Ken for our wedding was the best decision - we can't thank him enough!!

Amazing wedding entertainment/DJ!

We had heard great things about SW Florida Entertainment/DJ Ken from quite a few reliable sources, and we are so glad we hired him to provide the music for our wedding. DJ Ken was personable, professional, thorough, and - most importantly - knew how to “read the room” during our wedding…and played music that kept everyone having a great time on and off the dance floor all night. Furthermore, he paid attention to all of the little details and we had requested that made the event special and unique to us. He was so knowledgeable about timing and what would make everything flow/transition smoothly from ceremony through sparkler exit! He also made sure to provide lighting that fit the ambience/theme of our wedding. He is not only a great DJ - but a great guy who really takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend!

Best of the best!

Ken is well reputed in SWFL so it was an easy decision to hire him. He also worked with most of our other vendors before, making everything run seamlessly on the day of the wedding. Ken met with us before hand and reviewed how the evening would play out and gave us the confidence that it would all be great (he was right!). He is very responsive during the year-long planning process and attentive. Aside from his professionalism and talent, he’s caring and kind and FUN. He gave us great tips for the ceremony, toasts and first dance.
During the reception, he read the crowd and brought the party – playing what they wanted to hear and bringing people out of their shells. Everyone was out on the dance floor having the best time – he made the reception so fun. Even my sister in law danced – and she hadn’t danced in 30 years! One of our guests said they want to book him for their upcoming wedding in June. If you want a great party and fun wedding, book DJ Ken!

Ken is so fun, funny, smart and caring. He’s responsive, prompt and an amazing DJ!

Ken set up on the princess yacht and on the beach and had to run between the two for our wedding. He was happy to oblige and did an amazing job. I’ve received many compliments from our guests about how amazing our DJ was. Thank you so much Ken. Blessed, Lynn and Eric❤️

Amazing DJ Ken!

We unfortunately lost our original DJ from Hurricane Ian about a week and half before our wedding and DJ Ken was recommended to us. He really stepped up for us and was super flexible for booking with him about a week out. He made our special day amazing! All of our guests had a blast and could not stop talking about how awesome he was. We can not thank him enough for helping us celebrate and making our wedding the event of the season for our friends and family. Thank you so much DJ Ken!!!

Best of the best!!!

DJ Ken was the highlight of our wedding! He is not just the music (which was amazing), he makes every entrance, first dances, cake cutting, etc run smoothly! He was so amazing that two couples booked him immediately after our wedding!! Guests still are coming up to us telling us how amazing our ceremony and reception music and dancing was! If you’re thinking about booking him, Stop thinking and do it immediately! You will NOT regret it!!! He’s a DJ but also becomes a great friend and ally to have at your wedding!! Such a professional and we would hire him again in a HEARTBEAT!!! Thanks DJ Ken for making our night one to remember!

What an amazing DJ!!!

We met with and interviewed 5 different Djs. Dj Ken was the first one we met with since he responded so quickly. He helped us with all the planning of the timeline, was our officiant, played guitar and sang during the cocktail hour, and was the DJ/MC for the dinner and reception.
From the time we signed with DJ Ken, he was responsive and professional.
One of the Djs we met with tried to scare us from using him, but nothing that guy said was true.
Ken has a way with the guests that make them feel comfortable and at ease....he takes requests and makes sure they are appropriate for a wedding.
We are so glad we worked with Ken and his assistant....they were on top of the game, no doubt.
My sister is getting married in 18 months and they are already in the talks with DJ Ken for their wedding!!
I would do 10 stars if possible....

A DJ who goes above beyond.

DJ Ken went above a beyond for Jeff and I on our wedding day. He helped us set up a video for us to play for our guests. He also took additional canid photos for us without being asked. He was engaging for everyone who was present. So many guest said they loved the music. HIGHLY recommend!

Best Party Ever!

DJ Ken was simply amazing! My event was a surprise 60th birthday party for my boyfriend and there was a LOT of stress in the planning. The one part of it all that was 'easy' was working with Ken. He was just fantastic. He was not only helpful suggesting music but he helped me find a caterer when the original plan fell through. He was attentive and receptive to all my questions and concerns. My guests keep raving about the great party ... "especially the DJ." Now I want to plan a wedding just to have another party with Ken. Super fun, very professional, played a variety of music. I had guests from 18 months to 83 years and everyone had something they could relate to AND dance to! (He even played Baby Shark for the munchkin which was just over the top.) I loved hosting "the party of the year" and know I couldn't have pulled it off without Ken's help.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
