One of the most important days of your life needs an excellent DJ. Look no further.

We worked with Ryan Schwartz for our wedding, and the experience was nothing less than extraordinary.

Ryan made the process of planning our wedding reception easy, creative, and most importantly, fun. He contributed a lot of great ideas that we felt made our day special and stand out from other weddings my wife and I had attended in the past.

He has great presence on the microphone and did an excellent job pronouncing names and helping the evening flow along. Despite my wife and I not requesting many specific songs in advance for our reception , he came prepared with great ones that led to a fun night, mixing up the pace as needed, and even playing some very specific requests that came about from our guests. As far as the actual production and sound quality, everything was great. We loved it.

I would not hesitate to recommend this DJ, and I'm grateful for the amazing experience he helped give us on our wedding day.

Ryan was awesome for our wedding ceremony and reception! He was super responsive to emails and made us feel really at ease about how everything was going to flow. During the reception he was very attentive and did a fantastic job keeping the evening going according to plan. He made a suggestion for the last dance of the night and it worked out perfectly! If you need a DJ for your event, look no further! Pick Ryan!

Ryan was the best DJ we could’ve hoped for our wedding! Ryan provided music for our ceremony and our reception and our guests continually complimented what a fantastic job he did. I was so nervous about searching for a DJ as I knew it was such an important part of our wedding, but I could not be more pleased with our decision to use Ryan! Ryan, Thank you so much for making our day everything we had hoped it would be!

Best. DJ. Ever. We had the privilege of having Ryan Shwartz with us for our 200+ person, 6 hour wedding reception. He was phenomenal! From the cocktail hour to the very end of the night he had the people on their feet. I requested Ryan play the chicken dance for our younger kiddos that were in attendance and I explained he can cut it off early if he sees it not going well... because he already had so many people on the dance floor enjoying themselves everyone(3 year olds to 60 year olds) stayed for the chicken dance and it was one of my favorite memories of the night (silly, I know). But that's what he brought to our reception. Never did I look over and see only a few people on the dance floor. People did not want to leave that dance floor even after he our "final song" was played. Ryan was so easy going and was really there to make our evening stress free and enjoyable. We had an amazing time with him and would definitely hire him (or any DJ from Take Five Entertainment) again and recommend him to anyone for any occasion. Thank you, Ryan for making our reception truly exceptional and amazing!

It's hard sifting through all of the different vendors for your wedding. We found Ryan from another couple that had him at their wedding. It was a great decision. He did an awesome job! We met a couple weeks before the wedding to go over all of the details and the lighting. He made it extremely easy for us. We let him know what we were looking for and the wedding was a hit. It was exactly what we wanted. Your DJ can make or break the wedding and Ryan definitely made the wedding a huge success. We would recommend him to everyone.

I am so happy we went with Take Five Entertainment! Ryan did such an amazing job! A couple weeks before the wedding we met with Ryan face to face to go over our timeline, music, lighting, etc. From the start we felt very confident with our choice. He understood our vision and provided feedback/suggestions to make the night flow smoothly. We left a many of the music choices up to him and we are so glad we did! The dance floor was packed all night long. We had the best time and so did our guest. Ryan is professional while being a ton of fun and knows how to keep the party going! We would definitely recommend Take Five for your wedding!! Thanks again, Ryan!

Ryan is one of my very favorite DJs to work with at wedding receptions! Over the last years I have had the pleasure of seeing him quite frequently and each experience has been A+. He is relaxed and fun and is always able to keep the party going. He caters to each unique situation and is able to roll with the punches, always playing a good mix of what people want to hear. I know walking into a reception where he is already set up that it will go without a hitch. So thrilled to recommend him!
