Shawn was absolutely perfect as a DJ at our wedding last week. My wife and I have been to a number of weddings and have seen a number of DJs/MCs whose performance we didn't quite love. But Shawn was absolutely perfect. Shawn completely understood the vibe of our wedding and audience and the music he played set an amazing tone that kept our dance floor full and the party going for the entire reception. He also took suggestions, and did an excellent job at turning down suggestions that we wouldn't have liked but also playing suggestions that fit the tone PERFECTLY.

Our wedding had an interesting mix of older folks (aunts, grandparents, etc.) as well as fellow 25 year olds or so, which made for an interesting challenge to please everyone. But Shawn managed to DJ a wedding that my 80 year old grandfather (who can be a bit grumpy) complimented on the music while at the same time pleasing the younger crowds with the pop hits they loved. He managed to keep all kinds of people coming onto the dance floor, playing some old hits that would draw the older crowd to the floor, then rotating seamlessly through newer generations of music while the older crowd caught their breath. He seamlessly wove in our slower music suggestions (my wife and I love to slow dance) while keeping the mood of the reception still upbeat and lively. We never once had to worry about the music for the ceremony nor the reception, Shawn played everything perfectly and I have gotten numerous compliments from older and younger guests alike about how much they loved the music and the DJ.

Shawn was really amazing to work with too, willing to meet whenever we needed him, and very helpful with walking us through questions we had such as determining how much of the song we wanted to play for our first dance/parent dances, how many songs/what timing we needed for the procession, and giving his own thoughts on the music vibe we wanted to cultivate for the dinner and reception. Shawn was awesome, we don't have single bad thing to possibly say about him, and so many of our guests specifically commented on how amazing he was - we highly recommend him.

Shawn was our DJ for my husband and I's wedding day this past June in New Hampshire! From the planning stages to the actual wedding day Shawn was incredible to work with! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He worked closely with our venue coordinator and vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly on our big day (he brought all of the equipment needed including the mics for our ceremony and reception speeches). He even performed live music during our cocktail hour singing/guitar (he has a beautiful voice)!! For the reception, our guests were on the dance floor the entire night! We received many compliments from guests on the music selection and Shawn respected our "do not play list of songs". If you are thinking about booking Shawn, do it! You will not be disappointed!

Thanks again Shawn!

Absolutely the best choice for a wedding. Super friendly, knowledgable and delivers on everything you plan. Really appreciated how easy and fun it was to work with him and get his expertise to make the day of decisions feel easy.

Shawn was an absolute legend to work with. We planned our wedding from across the country and he made it happen with ease. He was there for every question, went above and beyond on every request, and made everything so special. Not to mention it was the most attended dance floor from beginning to end that I could ever remember. Thank you Shawn, for everything. Look no further…Shawn is the one!

Incredible experience working with Shawn! From the beginning he put us at ease with his flexibility and openness to our ideas and did an incredible and seamless job of integrating them into the wedding. A total professional in every aspect of the process, his knowledge and thoroughness of what it takes to pull of a great musical experience at a wedding was a breath of fresh air. In addition to DJ services, he provided uplighting and generators which were both a huge plus since it was that much less we had to worry about. Seriously can't say enough good things about Shawn! Highly recommend!

We recently had our wedding with Shawn Santanello of Viren entertainment and I cannot express what a positive experience this was. Shawn had the flexibility to meet with us virtually for the booking appointment to review our options. I was surprised by how many services and packages there were. A few weeks before the wedding we met with Shawn at his office and went over every detail. So many things we had not thought of ourselves. Shawn made sure everything was on point. I had decided to walk down the aisle to a random instrumental I had found on YouTube which was no problem for him. We also don't crave a ton of attention and he was able to shorten our first dance song. Amazing. He even gave a perfect dinner recommendation as we are not familiar with the area. We are lower key and probably older than the average couple getting married. Shawn had us submit a playlist and from that picked up the vibe we were going for PERFECTLY. I genuinely loved every song he played the entire night. The songs he picked for the dance portion were perfect and there were so many people dancing. I had been nervous everyone would just be sitting at their tables. He also played at a volume where people who weren't dancing could still have a conversation. We had a few non traditional elements to our reception that he was completely enthusiastic about. We got married at the Ranch in Southwick and because Shawn has such a great personality he is friendly with their wedding coordinator and also our photographer which really added to the easy party atmosphere. I cannot recommend this DJ enough.

Shawn absolutely killed it, not in just quality of equipment and keeping things going smooth but the pointers and ideas to make the wedding a hit. I would not suggest anyone but these guys with one of your biggest choices of the wedding day.

From the first conversation we had with Shawn we knew he was going to be a fantastic part of our day! Honestly he deserves way more than just 5 stars.
If you're looking for someone fun and skilled to make your day perfect, Shawn is your guy!
Not only was he our DJ, but we also had him do uplighting and we had the mirror photo booth (shout out to Kyle for manning that and putting up with our families!). Everyone loved the photo booth and the music selections!

We had such a good time working with Shawn and his assistant for our wedding at The Log Cabin on 10/9/22! We had great chemistry and communication right off the bat, and he made the whole process so easy. He's great live if you want that added bonus, and as an MC he was really on the ball, working attentively with us, our day-of coordinator, and our other vendors to keep things running smoothly and keep our guests in the loop about where to direct their attention. He was fantastic at catering his music choices to our vision, and kept our guests dancing right to the end. A good DJ/MC can really make or break the wedding reception, and Shawn nailed every aspect!

Amazing, talented and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
