Willis is by far THE BEST DJ! Look no further - he is a legend!

Willis was above and beyond the best DJ, emcee, and friend we could ask for! He was SO much fun to work with, from the very first call to the very end of our reception - he made the experience smooth and enjoyable for my husband and I. He made sure our evening was the best fusion between the two cultures my husband and I represent and there was not one song he played that was not a hit. The whole night he was so attentive, energetic, authentic and just a joy to be with! Every single guest was so impressed and thankful for him. Willis we love and thank you!

Amzing DJ! Willis knows what the people want!

DJ Willis really impressed us with his passion for making our wedding the absolute best. He listened to what we wanted and delivered 10 fold. I gave him a unique task of playing theme music for each table when it was their time to go to the buffet, and he nailed it! Everyone loved it! I appreciate the music portal he uses for us to make requests and send links to friends for them to make requests in advance, so helpful and really made our frineds feel they were part of the magic. Our dance floor was hoppin from open to close! I will forever be reminded of memories of my wedding when I hear specific songs thanks to Willis and his unique style. Thank you DJ Willis!

Dance all night with Willis J. Entertainment (+ the best for a multicultural music experience)!

Willis J. Entertainment is the best! We had DJs Eric and Mike for our wedding. From the very beginning of our reception, they brought an energy and excitement that inspired even the shyest of our guests to dance. Our group was a challenge, with varying music tastes and backgrounds, but Eric and Mike were wonderful at bridging the gap between language, culture, and music. We had guests from Mexico, Iceland, and across the U.S.––and nearly everyone was on the dance floor, the music Eric and Mike played their universal language for the evening. I greatly appreciated how thoughtfully Eric and Mike mixed in the songs they played in Spanish with the ones they played in English, newer songs with classics. Their handle on momentum and expert curation had our family and friends dancing all night. The music was never too deafening and the sound was always clear. Eric and Mike gave us the perfect soundtrack to a very special day. Our family is still talking about Willis J. Entertainment, how they wish they could go back in time and dance some more!

Great DJ to work with. As a wedding photographer I can't get great shots if people aren't full of energy and happy to be at the venue. Willis J Entertainment gets the people going and helped me do my job!
