A DJ who knows how to get the party started!

As someone who's biggest passion is music, finding a DJ to trust was shaping up to be a daunting task. I had very specific ideas about I wanted the music at my wedding to look like and Paul knocked it out of the park! We met about a month before wedding to go over every detail of the big day. He had awesome suggestions for things I was unsure about and anything that I was passionate about he incorporated perfectly. During the week leading up to wedding he checked in with me about any changes that might have been made in the mean time. And the biggest plus...at the reception he got the dance party started! Every person got out on that dance floor at one point or the other. It was awesome! Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch DJ.

Hunter from VanS Entertainment DJ'd our wedding last September. Hunter did a great job with our reception music! The dinner music had a good energy and he kept the evening flowing right along. When it was time to get the party started, he really pumped up the jams and did a great job getting people on the dance floor. He had a great mix of music on his playlist, from classics to modern pop. Whatever kind of music you are wanting at your wedding, I know he'll have it! Thanks VanS Entertainment for making our wedding so great!!

Paul at Vans Entertainment was great! He was so enthusiastic and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. We had a few specific songs we wanted him to play but we pretty much left the rest up to him. He played appropriate music and kept the dance floor going during an afternoon wedding which could have been hard to do! He was also very affordable!

Paul was one of the best vendors we had for our wedding! I couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Paul was easy to get ahold of, reliable, and a great value. He played all the songs I asked for, and he didn't play any of the songs I asked not be played. He even stayed at the end of the night and played music while our families cleaned up. After our honeymoon, our families even told us Paul helped with the cleaning. He's just a great guy who does a great job. I highly, highly, highly recommend VanS Entertainment!

Paul was so great to work with, he did our ceremony and reception music and it was fantastic! We gave him our list of required songs and a list of other songs/artists we really liked and then just let him go and he did an amazing job! He also took some videos of the shenanigans going down during the reception that I have yet to see but the moments them selves were hilarious so I can't wait! A true full service DJ!! Thanks Paul!

VanS Entertainment did a great job!! He had all the songs we wanted ready plus a lot of other great songs. He was the last to leave and maintained energy throughout the entire reception. It was a great experience!

Paul helped with the sound for my outdoor ceremony & the reception... So convenient to have him do both! He was great to work with - all the specifics we requested, he did, and the things we didn't care too much about, he took care of for us! He even helped edit our first dance songs! All my friends and family had fun :-)

Paul is a great DJ. Everyone at the wedding loved his music selections. He was easy to get a hold of and made sure that all of the "traditional" dance music was picked.
I would totally hire him again!

VanS Entertainment was one of our favorite wedding vendors, he was so easy to work with. We were planning the wedding from halfway across the country, so having a DJ who was able to help us plan via email communication was very important to us. I appreciated the quick responses and many helpful suggestions that we got from using VanS Entertainment. We were only able to meet once, just a few days before the wedding, but everything was a breeze and on the wedding day, I had no doubts that Paul would be there on time, set up and keep our reception organized based only of a rough schedule we'd all came up with. It was worry-free for me! His style of DJ'ing was perfect for our wedding— not too formal and 'orderly', but carefree and fun, just like we wanted. He had a great feel for the dance and helped make our wedding reception fabulous. Thanks Paul!!
