Incredible!!!

Chris was our DJ and he was absolutely incredible! Beyond anything we could’ve ever imagined a wedding DJ could do. My husband and I are very into a wide array of music, and Chris was able to tailor all those tastes seamlessly into the transition from the cocktail hour, through dinner, and into the reception. We love bass music and Chris was able to start the reception with amazing crowd pleasers (nothing corny), and slowly get more wild with our favorite bass bangers as the older people fizzled out towards the end of the night. Everyone complimented us on how fun the music was, and many people said it was the most dancing they’ve ever seen at a wedding, and I’d have to agree! Chris did an incredible job MCing and curating our perfect musical night. Can’t recommend Blazin Sounds and Chris enough!!

Dylan made the night so much fun!

Dylan made the ceremony and reception so much fun. He was very responsive when I had questions and played every song on my playlist I provided. A week before my wedding we talked about how the night would go and it made me feel comfortable because he was well organized. He has been doing this for 20 years and is very experienced. i would recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much Dylan. You made the dance floor so much fun!

Wonderful to work with!

We truly enjoyed working with Blazin Sounds. Our DJ, Chris, really took the time to understand what kind of vibe we were trying to create. He was knowledgeable, laidback, accommodating and professional. After speaking to him, I completely trusted that he knew what he was doing and could read the room. The whole team was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this DJ vendor!

My husband and I were so pleased with the services by Blazin Sounds Entertainment! We were traveling from out of state for our wedding, and our photographer recommended this company. They were very responsive and great to communicate with leading up to the big day. Chris was our DJ and did a GREAT job at keeping the crowd dancing the night away, per our request. The up-lighting was a great suggestion and so glad we did it. Thank you for a night we'll never forget!

Outstanding DJ made for the best party!

DJ Chris from Blazin Sounds did the music for our wedding reception on June 19th and was absolutely phenomenal! Chris did an outstanding job of working with us on different types of music for dinner and transitioning into dancing - our guests loved it. There was never a moment when the dance floor wasn't full! The uplighting Blazin Sounds is able to provide also enhanced our reception space and made it feel like the party it was. Leading up to the wedding Dylan and his team were easy to work with, attentive, and always professional. The planning document they send helps to get a sense of the style of the wedding, the guests, and the couple which was wonderfully helpful. We can not say enough good things about DJ Chris and the whole Blazin Sounds team and would recommend for anyone looking for entertainment. Thank you!!

Party of a Lifetime

Dylan was absolutely amazing. From the ceremony, to the toasts, to the first dance, to the dance party, he delivered exactly what I wanted flawlessly. He and his co-DJ were the picture of professionalism, and I could tell he was really listening to me when we did our consultation the week before the wedding. Not a single song was played that I didn't like, and people were dancing all night. Worth every (reasonably priced) penny. Thank you Dylan!!

Outstanding Event

My wife and I could not be happier with Dylan and Blazin Sounds, he did a great job at our daughter wedding. Many of our quests complimented how well everything flowed and what a great job Dylan did through the evening. The old saying is true, you get what you pay for. I'd highly recommend using Blazin Sounds and booking Dylan for your next event.

My wedding guests will be talking about the music at our reception for YEARS! I made sure to pick out a top notch wedding DJ so that my music-loving family would enjoy themselves, and I could not have found a better, more professional DJ! Dylan's associate, Alex, was amazing. He read the crowd and changed the song halfway through if he could tell people were fading. He even switched the song after 30 seconds when I told him I didn't like it (the ONE song out of the entire reception that I didn't like)! He dealt with all of our music changes before our wedding day and answered by text quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Blazin' Sounds if you want to make sure you'll have a great event!

Dylan was great to work with and most of all he made the music planning process simple and organized. I personally didnt know how much planning went into the big things as well as small things and I can honestly say Dylan was more than helpful and made a very stressful time stress free. If you want to have fun and also want your guests to have fun--Dylan and Blazin Sounds is your best choice!

Dylan was great to work with- he was responsive, completely open to our ideas, and extremely professional. We were looking for a DJ that would not be cheesy and who we could trust to entertain our diverse group with ease- and Dylan did a great job! Our venue was rustic and had limited infrastructure for sound, but Dylan was a total pro- the sound was perfect all night and he transitioned between our ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception beautifully. He played all the songs we requested and totally fit to our style without us even having to explain it to him. Our entire group- from youngest to oldest and those with a wide range of music tastes were dancing all night! We didn't want the party to end- many of our friends said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! Thank you Dylan for making our day unforgettable!

We are so glad we chose Blazin Soudns Entertainment for our wedding! Dylan and his Associate were amazing and kept the dance party going all night long! They were professional, punctual, and great at reading our mixed crowd (my side of the family is Latin and my husband's is American). I was dancing the ENTIRE night...from start to finish along with our guests! Dylan truly went out of his way to accommodate us and provide an excellent service!! He listened to every detail we discussed during our phone conversations and was on point with every song at the right time (entrance, cake cutting, slow dances, etc.). It was the best party ever!

The music at my reception was easily one of my favorite parts of the event. Dylan is an outstanding DJ, and I could not have been more pleased with his work. So many of my guests commented about how impressive the music was - and a few were convinced we had provided a playlist. Nope. We gave Dylan some basic information about our style, and he asked that we just let him do the work. It was honestly so perfect. Songs that I had forgotten even existed kept our guests dancing. It fit our vibe perfectly, and I wasn't worried for one second about what would play next. One detail that shouldn't go ignored is the inclusion of lighting. It's easy to forget how important lights are to creating atmosphere at a venue. It is absolutely worth adding this feature to showcase your venue at its best. Dylan was an absolute professional and so easy to work with. Recommended with all my enthusiasm!

The major goal of this wedding/reception was that we wanted everyone to have fun. Dylan delivered. There wasn't a moment after the music began that the dance floor was not packed. He knows how to read the crowd and the vibe of the moment and play what needs to be played. His equipment is beautiful. I had no idea what I was looking at but I knew it was top notch.

The most important thing I would say about Dylan is that he is PROFESSIONAL. If you want a clown for a DJ or someone to entertain Dylan is not the one. He is very behind the scene but I couldn't have been more pleased. The bride and groom worked with Dylan to pick the music and although I have not sat and talked with them about that process I believe it was a breeze and Dylan accommodated their wishes.

Words really can't describe how happy I was with Dylan.

Dylan is absolutely fantastic! During our initial phone call, he completely “got us” and our music style right away- it was an instant fit. The dance floor was packed the entire night and we truly cannot thank him enough for making our wedding so fun and memorable. Music and dancing was very important for us and Dylan did a fabulous job! THANKS DYLAN!!

Dylan was fantastic! I planned a destination wedding, so had to work with all vendors long distance. From the first phone call, I knew that Dylan was the DJ for us. He is super friendly and personable and he put me at ease immediately when I explained that music was really important to both of us, but we had an older crowd for the wedding so needed to make sure it was appropriate. Dylan explained that one of his strengths is reading a crowd and he was spot on with the music at our reception. He also made it very easy to work with him by providing an easy-to-use form where we could list our favorite bands and songs. I listed about 15 bands and I am pretty sure he played at least one song from all of them. I also asked for a specific type of music during cocktails and dinner and he delivered. Several of our guests mentioned how great the music was and by the end of the party, we had everyone dancing -- from age 89 to age 29, I truly believe that the music provided by Dylan was THE key ingredient to our totally fun wedding reception ... many people said it was the best wedding they've ever attended. And, most importantly, the my new husband and I had a blast and danced all night. Thank you, Dylan!

We were blown away by the professionalism, willingness, communication, and execution that Dylan and his Blazin Sounds Entertainment provided. I was in a bind to book a DJ last minute, and Dylan not only worked efficiently to find someone for us, but also honored our budget with thoughtfulness and generosity. Our wedding reception couldn't have run more smoothly, and it is largely in thanks to Michael, our DJ, who handled announcements, music, and the fun atmosphere. Thank you guys for being a team we were proud to work with and could depend on for our big day! All the best, Taylor and Will Wellman.

I'm a true music lover and dance enthusiast, with high hopes for my own wedding reception turning into an awesome dance party, so I set out to find the best DJ in the area. My greatest fear in hiring a wedding DJ, was that I might not find a true professional. I did not want an elementary school teacher look-alike, who merely has a playlist, and "does weddings" a few times per year. Dylan far exceeded my expectations and my wife couldn't be happier with him. First of all, he has a superior setup to any other professional DJ I have ever seen. He has amazing sound coming out of those speakers and a sleek DJ booth that showed no wires and really looked classy. The DJ can really make or break any occasion, and Dylan truly made our night unbelievable with great dance music! Even guests who "don't dance", were out on the dance floor all night long! My 89 year old grandmother was dancing until 11 pm! He did an amazing job reading the crowd and playing the perfect songs to keep everyone excited. His blend of various genres (including house and techno music at our request) was amazing and I struggled to find a break from the dance floor. My wife and I extended the party by an hour, and Dylan did not skip a beat! He also did a great job at illuminating our reception hall! The uplighting really made the venue glow (and the lights even changed to the beat of the music!). I can't say enough positive things about Dylan and Blazin Sounds and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a DJ. My wife and I can't wait to come up with another excuse to throw a party and have Blazin Sounds handle the entertainment!

Planning a destination wedding in Asheville was extremely exciting, but also came with certain challenges of living in Miami. We were able to familiarize ourselves with many vendors, such as photographers, videographers, floral, etc. by seeing a lot of their work and knowing pretty much what we would be getting. The DJ selection however, was very stressful. Not only is it more difficult to know exactly what the DJ would be like, what songs would be played, and how they would interact / lead the party…but we also considered it one of the most important aspects of our wedding. Our group of guests were dancers, partiers, and people that love to have a good time. When my husband and I look back at the weddings we had been guests at that we enjoyed most, it was mainly due to the music, atmosphere, and “fun”. Our families are also of Hispanic backgrounds, and we were therefore interested in having music from all sorts of genres.

There is no way to sufficiently describe and explain how unbelievably awesome Dylan was at our wedding. Our guests all had a blast and it was mainly thanks to him! We were spoiled by a fancy meal, amazing decor, and the Biltmore Estate beauty, but my best memory of the reception will always be the nonstop dancing, the awesome party, the hysterical laughing and singing, and the looks on all of my guests faces, both that night and in all my pictures, as they had an absolute blast. Dylan perfectly mixed the perfect songs from the exact genres we had hoped. The only downfall was the fact that we couldn’t extend the party even longer than we already had. Not one guest was ready to leave, but they do say that’s what makes a great party.

Working with Dylan before, during, and even keeping in touch with him after the wedding has been an absolute pleasure. He is unquestionably talented in what he does, but is also a great person, which I think says a lot. I would love to tell you more. Email me at Nikkis0902@gmail.com :)

Dylan was really a pleasure to work with. I contacted him about 6 months before our wedding date as my wife and I were trying to decide on hiring a DJ or a band. Dylan provided us with a lot of great information to help us make the decision that best suited our wants and our budget. Throughout the process, Dylan was available through phone and email to answer any questions we had. Dylan provided music for both our reception and our ceremony. He helped us with making appropriate song choices after talking to us about our style and preferences. His website and resources were very helpful to us as we planned for the wedding. About a week prior to the wedding, we had more regular calls to go over the timeline, ceremony, and reception. Dylan worked independently with our wedding planner to make sure that his timing, introductions of our wedding party and his set up for the ceremony and reception were correct. It was nice for us not to have to worry with that detail. Because we had a lunch wedding, we were really worried that people wouldn’t dance during the reception. Dylan worked his magic and made sure that those fears quickly went away. The combination of the setting, lighting, and music made it feel like we were at a club dancing the night away. We had many guests come up to us during our reception and at the after party just to tell us how much they enjoyed the music and the DJ. They were all really impressed with his song choices, his mixes and his transitions. Overall, we had such a great experience working with Dylan and would highly recommend him for anyone who wants to have an awesome reception without any worries. Thanks Dylan for making our big day that much more special.

Dylan was absolutely fabulous to work with for our wedding in July. He made the planning process easy! His knowledge about the industry is expansive and his ideas and suggestions were spot on. His website made it easy to customize the kind of music you enjoy. We had a super fun and energetic dance party and he kept the party going by reading the crowd. We received rave reviews from our guest and are so thrilled with his entire performance. He was professional throughout the entire process and a joy to work with! Thank you Dylan!!

Dylan was AMAZING! I had been talking to Dylan for almost a year before the wedding and the entire time he was professional, knowledgeable and overall just a great guy. He made the entire experience very easy and worked with our budget so we felt comfortable. His website made it really easy to go in and add songs, select specific dance (father/bride, first dance etc) songs so he had everything he needed and we could enter it at our convenience. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel really at ease (we were very nervous for our first dance) and truly enhanced the night. He looked very professional and gave our guests the best time! All of our family and friends kept commenting on how much fun they had and how great the DJ was. If you're looking for the perfect DJ stop here! Dylan brings back the artistry into this area and will exceed your expectations. Thank you Dylan for all of your time and making our wedding the best day of our lives.

Dylan was incredible!! He far exceeded any expectations we had. Blazin Sounds has one of the coolest websites we have ever used and he gives you the opportunity to select music before hand. He also called us before hand to go over the details and was professional, friendly and easy going. He showed up to our wedding well dressed and his equipment looked great. The sound for the ceremony was clear and precise even outside. He played great music for the cocktail hour and dining part of our wedding. Dylan had everyone dancing in no time!! Our wedding was an absolute blast and the transitions with music were seamless. We didn't have much time for him to do his thing for the dancing but with the stage, lighting and his professional ear and eye for our crowd it was perfect! Nothing was inappropriate, and everything he played appealed to our wide variety of ages. He makes me regret ever considering a live band. Dylan made our wedding and he is by far the best! Everyone had a blast at our wedding and that was all because of him.

You shouldn't cheap-out on the DJ/Party. We paid a little extra to get a true professional, but no doubt, we received an outstanding value. Dylan came in dressed well for our wedding, had a cool set-up, did outside the box requests for us, read the crowd perfectly and played the best music. Many people came up to me saying how great the DJ was. Our wedding at the Biltmore was the greatest party of our lives and Dylan was a key factor in that success. Thank you Dylan!

As a corporate event planner and bride, I had some pretty high expectations for entertainment at my wedding…. I have worked with a lot of entertainers over the years. Dylan and Blazin’ Sounds Entertainment absolutely met those expectations and then some. Dylan is extremely professional to work with and went above and beyond to make sure the event went flawlessly. In addition to serving as the DJ, Dylan also served as the emcee and lighting engineer for the evening. He has an excellent, very professional speaking voice and impeccable timing. He kept things like the first dance, dinner and cake cutting on track with the schedule that he and I outlined together in the weeks leading up to the wedding. He was also completely onboard and excited about some ideas that I had for our entrance as bride and groom…. he brainstormed with me and we really made it fun and memorable!
Dylan also brought a very professional, sleek-looking DJ booth that worked wonderfully with my decor, and any decor, really (no plain table with a table cloth and cords running everywhere with him!). Dylan also created a lovely lighting scheme for the event that really drew attention to the uniqueness of my venue.
There are so many things that Dylan brought to the reception that were above and beyond DJ services…. Professional emcee, beautiful equipment, elegant lighting, extremely professional, friendly and thoughtful service and music that was appropriate for all occasions…. perfect mix of fast, slow and different genres….He really got the crowd going! We were all sad when the reception had to end.
Entertainment for a wedding is very important…. It sets the tone for the reception and can make (or break) the experience. All the detailed planning in the world (as an event planner, I can assure you my planning was VERY detailed) cannot make up for a lackluster DJ or emcee. I couldn't be happier with my choice to work with Dylan and Blazin’ Sounds Entertainment.

If you want a hard-working professional who is not only great at what he does, but also makes your day worry-free, Dylan is the guy for you. Not only was he easy to work with, but he was always available if we needed him. We let him know what we liked and let him do his thing. I promise that you will not be disappointed by Blazin Sounds Entertainment and DJ Dylan Skidmore. The way he incorporated music from different generations and cultures and fused them together seamlessly was astonishing and second to none. I would recommend Dylan to anyone and everyone who wants their celebration to be memorable and pleasurable.

Dylan and Jason were so easy to work with during my daughter's wedding. They were so professional and provided a wonderful evening full of entertainment to our guests. He played a variety of music that we were able to choose and have input on. Everyone was dancing and on their feet during the entire event. It was wonderful! The planning and detail that went into the event was quite evident. I did not know Dylan, but he was recommended by another DJ who was not available. I was hesitant that he himself was not providing the service , but his response to me was he would not employ someone who would be a negative reflection of his company. I appreciated that, and he did not disappoint me at all. Jason, did a superb job and Dylan worked with us every step of the way! Thanks guys! You were amazing! I would highly recommend Blazin Sounds Entertainment for all of your DJ needs in the Asheville, NC area!

Dylan is the best DJ that I have ever worked with. His style of DJ-ing allows for people of all ages to enjoy the dance floor. He did a stellar job incorporating all types of music for our guests, especially with a Cuban-American wedding. He is very talented and I would highly recommend him!

DJ Dylan Skidmore was AMAZING.

He had the crowd dancing all night long (I'm talking all ages - from my stepdad (77) to the 3 year olds were having a BALL and all of our friends late 20's were getting DOWN. No one wanted to leave. We literally had to force people to leave the dance floor and get on the trolley. Everyone kept complimenting on us on how "fun" our wedding was -- we owe most of this to Dylan and his entertainment skills.

He is completely worth the money to hire him, he was ACTUALLY mixing the music on site, engaging the crowd, and not just playing an iPod. He was completely professional, responsive, and has a REALLY really cool site for picking and planning your wedding reception music, song recommendations, and hearing samples. It made planning really easy (I actually had a really fun time playing on that site).

Randomly last night (3 months later) and my mom mentioned again last night what a great DJ we had. Maybe we will have to have an anniversary party in Asheville in a few years..

Thanks Blazin' Entertainment!!

From the first conversation to the final dance, Dylan was amazing! He was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process and providing suggestions without "pushing" anything on us that we weren't comfortable with. We loved the exercise of selecting music choices ... was an easy and fun pre-wedding activity. With an age range of guests from 8-80, we were in great hands .. Dylan played music that was great for all of us! And... Dylan and his team's reputation is awesome... was nice to hear from other vendors in the planning process how great they were before I even met anyone in person. We knew music would be a part of our special day and highly recommend Dylan and his team to every couple!

Dylan did an AWESOME job for our wedding. From the beginning, he was very responsive and professional. Up to the wedding day, he was available for any questions or concerns. He integrated my husband and my tastes and created a FUN wedding reception for our guests. He is definitely not your typical wedding DJ. Dylan is unique and talented. Almost 3 months later, we still have guests raving about the wedding.

Dylan is a great real DJ, when I say real DJ he has two turn tables and can really mix he is not going to just set up a IPOD and play a prerecorded set of music. He knows how to keep the party going! He is very professional, he was early to set up the lights and his audio set up. Really did not even know he was there which is what you want on the wedding day. I really can't say enough good things about DJ Dylan Skidmore!

Dylan was exactly what we were told. Extremely professional, showed up when he said he would, dressed extremely well and played music that perfectly fit our event. He can "read a crowd"! The guests loved the music and commented on what a great DJ we had many times throughout the night. I would use Dylan for any wedding or party that would need a DJ. He was quite personable and very easy to work with. He made our night extra special!

We originally considered a band for our wedding, however we decided to go with Dylan Skidmore who was recommended to us. Dylan's expertise was over the top - he is a true professional and we could not have been more pleased. In our opinion, he did a superb job and was better than any band we had considered.

Dylan was very easy to work with, made the music planning a breeze with his online form for choosing songs, etc. We appreciated his responsiveness and dedication to making our reception memorable. Dylan is a true professional. Everyone at the reception complemented us on our choice of DJ - we could not have been more pleased!!

Dylan did a great job. He is absolutely a professional: as a couple we had good interactions with him, our parents enjoyed talking with him, and our coordinator reported that he was very responsive and easy to work with. Also, when comparing his website with some other Asheville DJ's website, his was "sophisticated." Being a DJ requires using several types of technology, so when I was searching and would find DJ websites that looked like they were designed in Geocities 20 years ago, I was skeptical that the DJ was keeping up with technology.

Initially, I, the groom, was pessimistic about the need for a DJ. Our venue had a sound system that we could plug a computer/iPod/iPad into, and I was in favor of avoiding the cost of a DJ and just having a pre-set playlist. I was over-ruled :) I thought a few people at our reception would dance but that it would be a tame crowd. I was wrong, which I attribute to Dylan, and I was really glad we hired him. The dance order was: bride-groom, father-daughter, mother-son, and then the floor opened up for everyone. Immediately, the dance floor filled! I'd never seen anything like it at a wedding, and several people came up to us and said they hadn't seen anything like it either. We were all accustomed to weddings with DJs and guests slowly, awkwardly trickling onto the dance floor. We had the completely opposite experience and it was awesome! We had a wide age range, and everyone was into it. Over the 2 hours, the dancing was continuous with only a couple lulls where people were resting. It was a great party that our guests kept remarking on. In our opinion, with Dylan, you get what you pay for: you can find cheaper DJs, but he is absolute quality.

Dylan is THE best DJ you could ever ask for! He literally was on auto pilot doing what he does better than anyone...entertain!! He's very polished and professional. My wedding at the beach would not have been the same with out him. My guests are still talking about how much fun they had that night Dylan placed lighting inside and outside the house and had people up and dancing the night away outside under the stars. It was fabulous! I would recommend him to everyone looking for a fun, memorable wedding!1
Thanks so much Dylan!! Craig and Jessica Moodie

For us, selecting a top notch DJ for our wedding was arguably the most important part of our vendor selections and we carefully searched for someone we could have complete confidence in providing a fun and memorable evening. Dylan with Blazin Sounds Entertainment exceeded our lofty expectations and did a fantastic job by keeping everyone dancing with great songs with excellent transitions and subtle mixing to make older songs seem new again. During the pre planning, Dylan was very responsive and the lines of communication were always open. So many of our guest would just look at us while dancing and outright tell us "this guy is good!". He was a great master of ceremonies as well and looked and acted very professional the entire evening. Thanks for the great work Dylan, it was an amazing evening.

Dylan was a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting. He was familiar with our venue and the staff which was important to me. He made himself available for questions and helped guide us through our music choices for both the ceremony and reception.

The reception was nothing short of spectacular. The music was appropriate for everyone in attendance and kept everyone engaged. I can honestly say we danced for 3 hrs straight and literally had the time of our lives!!!

After looking at several different DJs we decided to go with Dylan Skidmore w/ Blazin Sounds, and we are so happy with our decision. One visit to his website and you'll know that he plays some hot music and is definitely so much more than a guy clicking on tracks on his itunes. Not surprisingly, the music at our reception was great and really set the tone for the up-beat and festive atmosphere that we wanted. We also received many compliments about the music from guest.

Dylan is very professional, but also very easy to talk to. He's very accessible and flexible. His website is really organized and was helpful to us in choosing the music and flow for our reception. Even more importantly, his experience is very evident. At times, my wife and I knew what we wanted, but had trouble explaining it. Dylan was able to: read between the lines and 2) read the crowd to gives us EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED.

In sum, we have nothing but good things to say about Dylan, and would highly recommend him.

Dylan was our sure choice from the first phone conversation we had with him. Very professional attitude and was able to give clear and knowledgable advice and answers to our questions about music and lighting suggestions. He has been doing this for a long time and knows what he is doing. Was able to keep people dancing and entertained through the evening. His Setup is truly terrific with the Bose system. The uplighting was more spectacular than we were expecting and added that special touch to the reception venue at Biltmore Lioncrest. If I ever need another DJ / MC for any event, I will definitely be calling Dylan!

Dylan was amazing through the entire process. His professionalism was outstanding, the quality of equipment and music was top notch, and he was truly a pleasure to work with. All my guests had a terrific time and enjoyed dancing the night away, and we owe a great deal of our success in pulling the event off to Dylan.

One of the things that impressed me most was that Dylan was not a cookie cutter DJ and that he had the integrity to tell potential clients that he might not be the best choice for them. I appreciate anyone who refuses to sacrifice client satisfaction!

He was DEFINITELY a great choice for us and comes with my wholehearted two-thumbs-up recommendation for anyone looking for style, quality, and all around terrific service.

Choosing a DJ and entertainment was one of my higher priorites during our wedding planning. I wanted our guests to enjoy themselves as much as possible, but I also wanted to have fun myself. I hired Dylan Skidmore of Blazing Sounds Entertainment, and I was not disappointed! He helped me bring together an eclectic group of friends and family ranging from Denver dance club regulars to low country shaggers.

Dylan provided the perfect entertainment for our event. I (the bride!) danced non-stop after dinner and enjoyed sharing the dance floor with everyone from my 3 year old neice to my 80 year old in-laws. Dylan found a way to bring the entire party together, while still playing my favorites. There was not a single cheesy beat or awkward moment, and he even found a way to smoothly transition into a few unplanned 'shag songs' after some mother-in-law requests.

From our initial phone conversations to the planning to the actual party Dylan provided professional guidance and expert opinion combined with the perfect amount of flexibility. His experience and responsiveness helped us create a stress-free party that was uniquely "us" but still enjoyable for our guests. We asked for music that we liked, but also wanted our guests to enjoy themselves. Dylan found a way to make this happen. He went above and beyond our contract by showing up early, staying late, and remaining flexible throughout the night.

Despite our technology challenges and venue obstacles Dylan created a stress-free, entertaining evening including lighting, slide-show and awesome music. He was creative, spontaneous and motivating, but not over-bearing or even slightly obnoxious. We were all very satisfied and I received multiple compliments from our guests and even several from the venue staff as well.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to anyone looking for professional entertainment. He can also recommend a great photographer and other vendors in the NC area.

Dylan was wonderful to work with, and a very attentive dj. Since we were planning our wedding from out of state, he checked in often with us over the phone. Once the day arrived, he completely exceeded our expectations with his professionalism and mixing abilities! The recommended lighting accents were perfect, and we received many compliments on what a great dj we had selected. Highly recommended!

There are so many great things I can say about Dylan Skidmore and Blazin Sounds Entertainment. The website alone speaks for itself from the music to the pictures and options that he provides. I spoke to Dylan 7 months or so before even booking and we would have long talks about music and we both really got to know one another which created an awesome relationship. He was so patient and a very good listener. Soon as I decided to book I had instant VIP access to his web site and got to ton of useful information and we began planning everything from music selection, time line, and options (lighting). The day of was amazing. Perfect timing of music, kept everyone dancing and professional. You want people dancing and great memories for life go with Blazin Sounds. Lastly, get the lighting package.. It will transform and upgrade your pictures 10 fold.

Dylan was absolutely wonderful! My biggest fear as a bride was figuring out how to put on a memorable event when I had never done this before! Dylan helped every step of the way, keeping in touch through e-mail and phone calls, always there to respond to my questions. I am so thankful for his honesty through the process, we would work on suggestions together and he gave his input based on experience (something I didn't have!), described the environment and scene to me so that I could better understand and helped to make the best overall decisions that led to the most fun night of our lives! I had a small number of guests and Dylan kept every one of us on the dance floor ALL night! It's only been three days, but I am STILL getting emails with compliments! Dylan is by far the best DJ in North Carolina and is worth every penny!

Scott and I were so incredibly pleased with your performance at our wedding. You handled yourself so professionally, and you definitely were not like the "stereotypical" DJ. You were so calm and relaxed, and just took over with announcing and guiding us through the evening that we couldn't have been any happier. We did not have a wedding coordinator on site that day, and I had been stressed between pictures and making sure my Dad stayed in line ( he has a tendency to be mischievous). You dressed the part to fit into our wedding theme, and the music was absolutely perfect. You could not have made our experience any more enjoyable. I hope to use your services in the future for possibly a party for our clients in Hendersonville. Some of my clients were at the wedding and raved about the music selections.

I was luck to have Dylan as the DJ at me recent wedding in Asheville, NC. He came recommended from multiple family and friends. My cousin had attended a wedding a few years back and even remembered how good he was- she told me "you have to have him"!

I didn't really think of booking a DJ a lot when I started my planning- I think like most brides I was more focused on the dress and flowers etc. I would advise brides to take their DJ decision seriously though! This is the person running your wedding- they set the tone, and they have a huge part in the feel of the event.

Dylan is very professional and has a real passion for what he does. His passion shines through in what he does, he makes a great effort to see that the event is perfect. I would and have already recommended him to many people!

Dylan Skidmore was absolutely worth his weight in GOLD! He had wonderful ideas that brought the entire event full circle. I appreciated his input and since he does "this" everyday, I knew he knew best! I was was more than willing to take any and all advice and I am so glad I did! He wanted my wedding to be a "PARTY" just as much as I did. We added the extra lights and it was WELL worth the money. The music for the ceremony and reception was perfect, I never left the dance floor!!!
Thank you Dylan!

Dylan was amazing! He was on top of things from the very beginning and made the picking of the DJ process very easy for us. We wanted our wedding reception to go from a sit down dinner to a dance party smoothly and he did just that! It was amazing how he kept every group of people at the reception in tuned to what was happening at that respective time. Dylan was very professional and was awesome at playing all the songs we wanted to hear and then some more. We would recommend Dylan and Blazin' Sounds for any party, wedding reception, event, etc.

Dylan was such a professional from day one. Our daughter's wedding was a destination for us in Asheville. We did not really know anyone, but did homework on the web and decided to meet with Dylan from reputation and recommendation of our wedding planner. From the moment we met Dylan, we were convinced that he would be an excellent choice and we were not disappointed. My daughter has been a dancer for over 20 years and my new son in law is an excellent ballroom dancer. Music and dance were so important to them. Dylan worked with her to plan the music that she wanted and also the specific tracts for her choreographed numbers. The music mix was great. Everyone danced the night away. Dylan was great at keeping the evening moving and making announcements. In addition to the music, Dylan also did uplighting and accent color lighting throughout the venue. The reception had indoor and outdoor areas. Dylan used the perfect blend of blue and white lighting to accent the beauty of the setting. It was simply an evening we will never forget and Dylan was a major reason our daughter's wedding was such a great success. Would recommend without reservation!!

Dylan Skidmore was the perfect choice for our wedding reception! David and I love a good song and love to dance but have no clue when it comes to music titles, artists, genres, etc. From our first conversation to the last song, Dylan was professional, organized and a blast to work with; so we just left those decisions in his hands. He knew exactly how and when to get the party going and the entire night flowed seamlessly!

Thanks Dylan!

We really enjoyed Dylan's personality from our first meeting with him. He seemed more of an artist and musician vs. an entertainer with an outlandish personality. The groom is a DJ himself, so when Dylan spoke about his experience with his equipment, turntables and sound we knew we should book him for the reception. We were quite lax with Dylan on exactly what we wanted. We told him several styles of music and songs that we do like to hear, he turned such little info into a whole night of great songs that kept the crowd moving! Dylan selected great songs throughout the evening that we really enjoyed, both un and preselected. Our broad age range of guests all seemed to enjoy the music selection. We had asked him to keep the selection current and PG which he managed without anyone realizing each song version was clean. Throughout the months working with Dylan, we noticed that he updated his equipment, which we interpreted as wanting to provide the best quality for his clients. We feel that Dylan is worth the investment and was willing to work within our budget. Dylan also provided lighting inside during dinner, which were 6 uplights in a custom color, amber. The lighting was absolutely gorgeous! The color was neutral, warm and set the perfect ambiance for dinner. The lighting outside was also uplighting into the trees and was a green color then changed to red as the night progressed. The outside space was transformed from a serene ceremony location to an outdoor nightclub for dancing! All of the guests claimed to have a great time and we believe such an awesome DJ greatly contributed! Professional, experienced, flexible, great DJ!! Highly recommended!

Dylan is awesome! He worked very closely with us prior to the wedding on making sure we had the music we wanted. I loved that he didn't require us to provide a list of songs (in fact he preferred it!) to play at the reception. Instead he said he would feel out the crowd and play music accordingly. I was a bit nervous about this at first but Dylan went over and beyond what we could have ever expected. Our dance floor was full the entire night and I still get comments about how fun our wedding was. In my opinion, a DJ can make or break a wedding. In this case, Dylan definitely made our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Blazin Sounds Entertainment helped make our wedding day truly amazing! One thing that I really liked about Blazin Sounds was that he had a great online planning system to help us plan our wedding songs. This made planning easy for us especially since we had a destination wedding. The DJ was easily accessible through both email and on the phone as well. I had plenty of opportunities to work with him. The quality of his work was outstanding. He had all 75 people up at our wedding dancing. He played songs that accommodated everyone of every age! He made the wedding flow easily from one part to the next (toasts, cake cutting, etc.). I got so many compliments from all of my guests saying that he was one of the best DJ's they have ever heard. Definitely go with Blazin Soungs Entertainment for your wedding!!

Dylan was wonderful! He kept our crowd dancing all night and made sure the reception flowed smoothly. The lighting completely transformed the space and was well worth the extra money. I highly recommend Blazin Sounds!

Dj Skidmore did an amazing job at the wedding! We had hired him until 11pm, and we had to stop the party b/c of our shuttle drivers, but DJ Skidmore was so good that our guests actually started gathering money to try and keep him for another hour! He really made the wedding a great party for everyone!

We thought that Dylan was amazing. He did a great job of reading the crowd and making sure that everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves. We told him to play whatever he thought would work and it worked out great, I would reccomend him to anyone I know!!

We hired Dylan sight unseen, since we were planning our wedding down in Asheville from Maryland. From the initial consultation to the reception, Dylan was really easy to get a hold of and responded quickly. He has a website where you can easily schedule conference calls with him.

Dylan actually DJed our ceremony, while another one is his DJs, Alex, worked our reception (we had the event in two different locations. At the ceremony there was minor glitches with the power and sound at the wedding site, and Dylan found solutions and everything went great. The sound is amazing in our videos, and we had multiple songs and it was a bit confusing but he definitely got it right.

Alex djed our ceremony and he really got our taste in music. Everyone was dancing. We got a lot of compliments on the reception dj and the dancefloor. People who also work with wedding djs were paying him compliments. Dylan also came to the ceremony to check in on us (and ended up staying) and made a fantastic MC.

Dylan and his team are highly recommended. They made my destination wedding unforgettable!

Overall, my wife and I were really glad that we decided to go with Dylan as our DJ! Planning a wedding is stressful. You most likely will go over budget. Depending on what is most important for you, having good entertainment with a experienced DJ and Emcee is crucial. Dylan takes pride in being professional. He's been doing this type of work for over 15 years! He has top notch equipment and he is a perfectionist which we can relate too :) We always want the best. Sometimes we can't afford the best, but sometimes you just have to go all out. When booking a vendor for your wedding, you want someone who you can count on and has the experience. That's Dylan! He really strives on having good communication. He constantly made us feel at ease and was very flexible in regards to our needs and requests. We really liked the fact that we could book a phone chat through his website whenever we needed. I highly suggest talking to Dylan on the phone when trying to make sure everyone is on the same page. Again, he's running a top notch service and takes his work seriously. We highly suggest hiring Dylan as your DJ/Emcee! We wish him the best and hope our paths will cross here in Western NC! Thanks again, Megan and Jean-Michel

After our oringinal DJ canceled on us just 10 days before our wedding due to a double booking, I thankfully found Blazin Sounds Entertainment. Dylan and Alex were a complete Godsend! Dylan was quick to respond and easy to talk to. He listened to what we needed and worked with us to meet our budget. Alex (our actual DJ for the night) was amazing! Very professional, fun, and extremely helpful. He could read the crowd and kept the dancing going, which was perfect! I had numerous people come tell me how awesome the DJ was (even weeks after the event). I think that really says something.

Our event staffing sent two of their workers home early so we were a little short handed at the end of the night getting things out of the venue of our DIY wedding. Alex even pitched in to help move a few things which I know is so not in his job description but definitely didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Alex and Blazing Sounds really far exceeded our expectations. I believe things happen for a reason and I am so thankful our original DJ didn't work out so we could find Blazin Sounds Entertainment. Thanks for making our wedding a blast!

Dylan is super professional. He really went out of his way to make sure every aspect of our special day was covered so that we could truly enjoy ourselves during the wedding and reception.
He has an art to entertain, and read people in terms of music and crowd pleasing. Everyone at our wedding commented on how good his music was, how nice he looked, and how nice his set up and lighting system was.

Blazin Sounds Entertainment July 10th

Blazin Sounds did the music for our wedding on July 10th and did an outstanding job selecting music for the ceremony and reception. Dylan did a great job of finding out what type of music we like and adjusting it to the reactions on the dance floor. He was very easy to work with as we had some last minute changes and he was able to adjust without any hesitation. Overall our experience with Blazin Sounds Entertainment and Dylan was amazing.

Dylan was awsome! He is truely a professional. He's a man of his word and he is there for you every step of the way. This guy will go to bat for you! We had our wedding at an Inn, some of the guests complained about the music being too loud and the Inn told him to turn it down. He broke it down to them in a professional manner, which basically made them change their minds.
Not only that; he is a master of his craft. The music was great and everyone had a great time. We had very specific versions of songs we wanted played, if he didn't already have them, he was able to find them.

The music was great. Dylan did a great job keeping people on the dance floor with songs that appealed to a wide age range. The music mixing was also good, with no harsh transitions. Definitely a level above the average wedding DJ.
However, before the wedding, Dylan was a little high maintenance. Getting him booked and everything arranged required more calls than with any other vendor, including the venue or caterer. If we e-mailed him, he would insist on a follow-up phone call, which was not easy as Steven and I both work. He even called us the morning of the wedding, as the wedding party was getting ready, just to go over things one last time, which was unnecessary as everything was typed out, and this was not the best time for a call. He is also the vender we worked with who had the most demands.
Overall, great DJ, just time intensive to work with.

Dylan's music was great, but his attitude was arrogant and he was very slow to respond when the bride and I would call or email him. His fee was twice as much as every other DJ we contacted, all lof whom said their equipment was excellent. So why did we use Dylan? He was convincing that he was excellent and he lived only an hour and a half away, versus others from furthur away. His timing and song selections were excellent. But he also told me that he wouldn't be using the rented dance floor, that he had his own to set up on. Then after we had paid him (he requires a bank check before he will play), we found out that he called our cateter and asked them to provide separate flooring for him -which we had to rent at almost $500.00. That was an extra expense that we had not been told about and we felt taken advantage of by Dylan.

Contract not upheld without full refund

Recommending caution to all that book with blazing sound as our experience demonstrated a lack of professionalism and failure to uphold the contract, including a full refund not being provided after services were not rendered

We booked for our October wedding that ended up being modified to a different location because of hurricane Helene affecting Asheville and surrounding area. After an extensive discussion with the owner, Dylan, who had stated they would still honor the contract and have a DJ for our new location (2 hours from Asheville) we actually found out that they did not have a DJ who could provide the services as promised. This was because the DJ that was scheduled for our wedding decided to book another event instead of honor our date without confirmation from us nor Dylan. This meant we had to find a new DJ vendor for our wedding in ten days before our wedding.

A lot went into this including lack of communication due to Helene and Dylan being overwhelmed by all the changes but at the end of the day, agreed upon services were not provided. This would be understandable and acceptable IF Dylan held his employee accountable and provided a full refund for the services that were paid for and not provided. Unfortunately, he has not done so and thus I recommend all future couples exercise caution when considering this DJ vendor.

I was very disappointed that he did not make sure that the pastor could be heard during the wedding ceremony. It was his job to be sure he could be heard. In my opinion it spoiled the wedding for all the guests. For the reception the music was too loud!
