    Best Dj around

    There was literally never a dull moment with Shawn. He worked well with the venue and photographer. I had no stress at all. The ceremony was everything I dreamed of. The reception could not have been more perfect. He worked the room perfectly and everyone had an amazing time. 10/10 recommend him to everyone. He also makes the planning before the wedding stress free and is extremely flexible.

    Absolutely amazing. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

    Shawn is the wedding DJ you have been searching for! Not only is he attentive to every detail, he brings the party to life. I can’t count how many compliments we recieved after our wedding regarding him. He truly made our special day magical! I am so thankful after my long search of DJ’s that I decided to go with him. If you want your wedding to be on the dance floor all night, CHOOSE SHAWN! Thank you Shawn, our day wouldn’t have been amazing without you!!

    -Sydney & Mitchel!

    Shawn is the BEST!

    Shawn was incredible! He was SO friendly and professional and not once was the dance floor empty. He perfectly gauges the crowd. We just gave him a slight direction with the type of music we like and he killed it! I would 1000x over choose Shawn for our wedding. I had his biggest package and it was worth every penny. Thank you so much for your crucial role in our perfect day!!

    Amazing and Memorable

    Shawn completely knocked it out of the park for our wedding. On top of being a great DJ he also went out of his way to make many helpful recommendations to make our day run as smoothly as possible. He kept the flow of the party going and blended all the songs seamlessly. We had so many compliments from our guests on the music and setup, the dance floor was full on all night long. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. These are only our sneak peek pictures, but we couldn't wait for the rest to give Shawn a review. He set the tone for our wedding and made it a memorable evening.

    Extremely satisfied with Shawn Holland, his announcing, and music.

    I work at Rock Island High School and chaperoned the Homecomg Dance last year. Shawn was the D.J., and did a phenomenal job! The students had so much fun, everyone was dancing, the energy was high. When my son and fiancé were planning their reception, I knew that Shawn was who I wanted to D.J. the reception. Let me tell you, he did not disappoint! We had the best party with our friends and families. Worth every penny. Priceless.

    He brought the party!

    Shawn was an incredible DJ to work with. He was very dedicated during our wedding planning process. He took the time to help organize not only the music but also the timeline of our big day.
    Based off of his experience, enhancing suggestions that he made, really made our wedding an amazing experience.
    This man was out there dancing with us and troubleshot issues with ease. I would absolutely recommend the services this company has to offer; we had such an amazing experience. Thank you, Shawn!

    The best ever!

    I cannot say enough about Shawn. Our wedding was the best day ever and he is such a huge piece of our wedding. Shawn was so easy to work with and made it very clear that I could come to him about any concern that I had. Shawn went above and beyond for my husband and I, and he made the night unforgettable. The amount of guests that complimented us on the DJ… I literally lost count!!! Shawn as a person is so kind and wonderful, I’m not sure what else you could ask for in a wedding DJ! He makes it worth your while and I’m proud it say our wedding was literally the party of the year. You are going to want to book him asap so you don’t miss out. He completely understood the assignment!!! He did not miss a beat. The music was amazing, the sound system is amazing, the atmosphere he creates is literally exactly what we had hoped and more. He is amazing. HIGHLY recommend this guy, I would give him 100000000/10 stars if I could! Thank you Shawn so much!!!!! Please book him, he will definitely make your wedding a night you’ll never forget!!!

    Homecoming DJ

    Shawn DJ'd our homecoming dance at Rock Island High School this past weekend, and the kids had so much fun! I even overheard a student who didn't go to the dance saying that she wished she had because she heard it was a blast! If any high school advisor is looking for a DJ for a dance, Shawn is your guy. He was so professional, interacted really well with the kids, and requested a song list prior to the dance so he could make sure he had clean versions of the songs kids would want to hear.

    Could not have asked for a better DJ

    Shawn was absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband and I throughout the whole process of planning, postponing, and replanting our wedding. He was helpful, informative, kind, supportive and professional. We have received so many compliments from our guests about him and the music the night of our wedding. Everything was perfect.

    DJ Shawn is awesome!

    We are so happy we found Shawn to be our DJ. His pricing is the best around and he made our night so fun! Great sound system, music selection, and lighting to make it a real party feel. He even took some candid photos throughout the night and joined us for the fun line dances. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a quality DJ!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Hands down the best DJ in the area! Shawn was organized , professional, and so personable! He did an excellent job at our wedding this weekend. Kept the bride and groom up to date on everything all night and played great music. Shawn even went out of his way to help me surprise the groom with a special video from his best man who couldn’t attend. I highly recommend his services!!

    Wedding/reception DJ

    Shawn was excellent. We had to plan all virtually and it exceeded my expectations. He helped me picked music and gave expectations. great ideas for song choices, including my husband and it's song to walk into the reception (the Michael Jordan Bulls starting lineup song). I have had so many compliments on DJ Shawn from my guests. I would highly recommend him. It was such a fun night.

    Excellent and stress free

    Shawn was fantastic! We had 2 meetings to discuss music and set up before our event. Shawn went above and beyond by providing us with a mix we needed for a surprise dance as well- He is very reasonable in cost , yet worth much more than he charges. Light set is top notch and he is very easy to work with- I would use him again and recommend him to anyone!

    Shawn really went above and beyond to make our day run as smoothly as possible! Not only that but he made it so memorable and FUN for my husband and I and all my guests!!! He graciously agreed to make a special mix for my Beyonce style flash mob dance with my bridesmaids AND he offers a really cool "dancing on a cloud" package add on that made us look like professional dancers😂😜 His services were worth EVERY penny! And to think I almost went without a DJ and made my own Spotify playlist 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Book Best of Times Entertainment for your wedding or event, will not regret it!!!

    Shawn did an amazing job and that is an understatement. He was on time for everything and had all top of the line equipment. He kept the dance floor live and everybody had a blast. A wedding success is directly related to the skills of the DJ and Shawn made it a wedding to always remember
