    Thank you Aaron! You crafted a great celebration from start to finish. Caris was the best karaoke-singing bride ever! And a car in a grand entrance? Never will be topped on all levels! Thank you for allowing me to help bring the fun times.

    A family affair!

    Eric has now been part of three family events- my sister-in-laws wedding, my sisters, and now mine! He was BEYOND wonderful to work with, and made our day so special. He even learned one of my favorite songs so that I could walk down the aisle to it. Thank you, Eric, for everything!!!

    10/17/21 Zowie entertainment was awesome.

    Eric offered karaoke during the cocktail hour. My guests had so much fun. He sent us pictures from it as well. Leading up to the event he was very detailed and attentive. He was always just a phone call away. You'll love hi m too.

    Zowie Entertainment's reply:

    You and Austin had an amazing wedding! Your great ideas combined with the incredible enthusiasm from family & friends just made it all wonderful. Maybe the next party will be a Mystereee in New Orleans! I'll be so happy to host and you can imagine the great costumes! :)

    Above and beyond

    Our wedding was originally scheduled March 21, 2020 but was postponed the week of due to Covid-19. Eric was very understanding of the situation and agreed to work with us at no additional cost. We were excited to learn he was available for our rescheduled date of December 4, 2020 as well because he had been so great to work with leading up to your original date in March. As the year went on and covid-19 remained a concern for all, our wedding saw many changes as we got to the final weeks leading up to December 4th. The guest count was cut to family and a small bridal party only, the time of the ceremony was moved to a bit earlier and restrictions on group gatherings understandably tightened. My wife and I were concerned about maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout the night with the recent changes. I discussed the concerns with Eric and he was very helpful. He had several suggestions and came prepared with a wide variety of entertainment on our wedding day. Even though a lot of the additional entertainment he brought was not needed, it was a relief to know it was there ready to go! Simply put, he went above and beyond for us and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. I could not recommend anyone else more highly for anyone looking to create a fun, memorable wedding.

    Zowie Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Cory! I appreciate you taking the time to share this. It has been a crazy year for us all and I commend you for keeping up the spirit for fun! It was great meeting everyone and I wish you and the family all the best for 2021!

    Couldn't be more pleased!

    My wife and I hired Eric to play guitar for our wedding, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Not only does he offer a tremendous catalog of songs available to perform (and he's an excellent musician and singer), but he's terrific to work with as well. Very reasonable rates, quick to respond to emails and inquiries, flexible personality, and his performance was superb. Deadheads especially will appreciate his song list! I highly recommend Eric and am grateful we were able to have him play at our wedding!

    Winter Wedding

    Eric was absolutely fantastic for our small family only wedding. He played guitar for our ceremony, cocktail hour and through dinner...it was BEAUTIFUL! He was extremely prepared and made sure to know exactly what we wanted. Once it was time for dancing he played great music my family loved and everyone had a fantastic time. He was very professional and we could not have asked for anything more!

    Fantastic to work with

    Eric was a fantastic DJ and knew exactly how to work with the crowd and keep the party moving in the right direction. His selection of music was exactly what we were hoping for, and he was very flexible working with custom requests from the audience during the night. I highly recommend his services!

    Great Fun for a Party

    I highly recommend Zowie Entertainment. I purchased a Murder Mysteree package for a virtual post-holiday party for my colleagues at work. It was such a fun time – everybody in our group of 35 people enjoyed it. We are all adapting during these strange pandemic times. The Murder Mysteree game was originally developed for in-person fun, but the owner Eric worked with me to help me adapt the game to a virtual format. I was going to be the game hostess for my event, so Eric (Zowie Entertainment owner) sure that I understood the game inside and out so I would feel comfortable leading the game for our party. Eric was so attentive, communicative, and responsive to all of my questions. And, he seems to be just a really nice guy. I had a wonderful customer experience and I will look to him again for future event planning.

    Best Party Ever!

    We hired Eric as the DJ for our wedding an couldn't have been happier! Eric was really the full package-- he performed guitar for the ceremony prelude and the ceremony processional. We wanted "Take it all back by Judah and the Lion" as the bridal processional song and he learned the song to play for us! I've had friends tell us they'd never thought of the song as a wedding processional but really loved how it turned out! Same here! The reception was also just fantastic! Eric played music that kept the party going and everyone had such an awesome time! I would absolutely recommend Eric (Zowie Entertainment) to anyone looking for a rocking party!

    Loved working with Eric!

    Prior to our wedding, Eric provided great information, options, and communication. I felt really comfortable that I could trust in his preparation and skill leading up to our day. He was a wonderful DJ at our reception, and guided us through each event in a professional, classy, and fun way. He has such a great personality, and knew just the right songs to play that both fit our tastes and kept folks dancing. If I had it all to do again, I'd absolutely hire Eric without hesitation!

    Amazing musician & DJ

    We hired Eric as a guitarist for our ceremony & cocktail hour and to DJ during our reception. He was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We gave him a couple songs that we wanted played during the reception and he figured out the rest based on our taste! It was perfect. We even had a few people ask for the playlist for their wedding! Highly recommend!

    Super Fun Times!

    Working with Asheville Wedding Entertainment has been an absolute pleasure. Eric is courteous and funny and can really rock that guitar. One of my nieces requested a freeze dance at our reception and he was more than happy to oblige and even picked the best song for it! I could very easily see him throwing the best party for both kids and adults alike. He even sent us pictures of guests dancing! I would hire Eric again in a heartbeat.

    Kept everyone on the dance floor!

    Eric was a pleasure to work with! I actually dropped another vendor I was speaking with and chose Asheville Wedding Entertainment because Eric was so organized and responsive. His phone calls were so helpful in thinking about ever part of the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception that needed music. When our venue notified us that the DJ could not use the wifi at the venue Eric didn't even flinch as he had a HUGE collection of songs ready to go. I got so many compliments about the DJ after the wedding and would recommend Eric over an over again!

    Eric was seriously amazing! We hired him to DJ our wedding and he was friendly, professional, and prompt. His song selections were awesome, and all of our guests loved him! Everyone was dancing the whole night! He made everything easy and stress-free for my husband and myself, and we would highly recommend him! We really enjoyed working with him. Thank you Eric for making our special night so FUN!!

    Eric was AWESOME!! Not only is he a great DJ, but he's a very talented musician! He played acoustic guitar at our ceremony and cocktail hour (which was a big hit) and then DJ'd our reception. Let me tell you, we are so glad we chose him for our entertainment for the big day! He's lively and fun but also feeds off of the energy of the room making sure that song choices corresponded to the overall mood. Weeks prior to our wedding, we submitted our song choices and music guide which was a huge help in planning and making sure we were all on the same page. Eric was professional, fun, easy going and definitely a huge reason everyone had a blast!!!

    Eric was easy to work with from start to finish, and did an excellent job at our wedding. He had a thorough list of questions for us to be sure he knew everything we wanted for the ceremony and reception. My father, who has been to many weddings where the music is way too loud, was very happy that that wasn't the case at our wedding. Eric worked with our wedding planner to be sure the timeline was up-to-date based on our last-minute changes. He was incredibly patient, knowledgable about options, and flexible.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, and would certainly hire him again for any future events.

    Eric was absolutely wonderful for wedding day. He was very flexible and easy to work with. He provided sound for our ceremony, guitar music at our cocktail hour and was our DJ for the evening. He had great music choices and helped make the evening run smoothly. We recommend him 100%!

    Fantastic musician!

    Eric was wonderful to work with! We hired him for both our ceremony and reception. He is fantastic with communication! He called us right after we mentioned we would be interested and explained all about his company and what he could provide for our wedding. We felt very confident in our decision! He was always available to answer our questions and overall a great person to work with! Book Eric! He has many skills and services to offer anyone with their wedding music needs!

    Eric is GREAT! He really felt what the crowd was feeling and played fun and upbeat music and stayed true to our requests. I really couldn't have asked for a better DJ and cooler guy to take care of our music, mic, and announcement needs throughout the wedding. He is very organized and involved in the planning process to make sure the ceremony and reception run smoothly and go along with what the bride and groom envisioned. I highly recommend Eric for any kind of occasion, it was truly the perfect day.

    Eric was a great DJ and we are so happy that he was available for our wedding! Eric's services are very affordable but top quality at the same time. What initially attracted me to Eric when searching for a DJ was his versatility. He can play acoustic music for the ceremony and DJ the reception. Even though we ended up going with recorded instrumental music for our ceremony, that is definitely something that is unique about him. Eric was easy to work with, understood our vision for the ceremony and reception, and we had a pretty good dance party going during our wedding which is exactly what we wanted!!! We highly recommend Eric as a wedding DJ.

    Eric was great! He is so personable and down-to-earth. As a DJ, he followed my music requests to a tee and did a great job of playing the right mix of music at the right time. He also played the guitar during the cocktail hour and I heard he did a great job (though I was taking pictures at the time and so missed him.) SUPER nice guy!

    I am so glad we booked Eric for our wedding! Choosing a DJ was somewhat of a challenge for us since you pretty much just have to rely on reviews and can't really attend their events ahead of time but I'm so happy with our decision to go with him. We didn't even meet in person until we were at the reception but we had lots of communication prior to the wedding and he was really responsive and thorough with the information he gave us and requested from us. He checked in with us as soon as we got to the reception to make sure there weren't any last minute changes we wanted and from then on everything ran really smoothly.

    We had asked that he fade our first dance and parent dance songs out after a minute or two (because we feel awkward having everyone just stare at us) and it worked out great. I thought it went on just a little longer than I would have liked but both of our moms said they wished it went longer so it was a good middle ground. Eric played all (or nearly all, I'm not totally sure) of our guest and personal requests and we had a blast dancing. He also took some pictures from his table that he shared with us which was really cool to have from another perspective!

    From where we were waiting I couldn't really hear the ceremony music from the prelude or the processional so I assume it went great since no one told me anything was wrong. Our officiant and readers each had mics and there were no issues with the volume or them cutting out.

    Overall we're so happy we hired Eric! He was a huge part of why our wedding day was so successful!

    Eric was excellent!! He was great in the planning stages to ensure that we had every detail planned so that we wouldn't need to interrupt the wedding day at all to answer questions. He played the guitar beautifully and kept our guests dancing the whole time! I could not more highly recommend Eric for your wedding day!
