    Highly recommend

    Sean was so great to work with and made planning our big day so much easier! He was always very helpful, great at communicating and overall such a great guy. Our guests loved the music and Sean kept the dance floor full all night. His equipment was very professional and looked great in our reception space. We highly highly recommend Carlson Entertainment for your wedding!

    Amazing in all regards

    Sean was amazing through the entire process leading up to and through our wedding day. He helped us, guided us and offered advice where we needed help. He made the entire day super seamless. Past the songs we specifically requested the songs he picked were great and kept the dance floor hopping until the end of the night. Can’t recommend him enough. He’s very professional and working with him and his company was a pleasure.

    Sean Carlson is the best!

    If you are on the hunt for a DJ, look no further. Sean Carlson was worth every penny. I had never heard of a DJ/MC being so involved in not only the wedding, but the planning process too. Sean met with me numerous times prior to the wedding to ensure the planning process was going smoothly and to ensure all expectations I had of him were met. His online process of picking songs and filling out forms is so easy and efficient and also lots of fun to do as a couple! All I can say is he blew our expectations away. We received compliments over and over again that we had such an incredible dance floor and the music selection was incredible (all thanks to Sean!) Sean was the most incredible MC, making the crowd laugh and entertain them throughout the night! He had awesome ideas to make our wedding day unique and we couldn’t of asked for a better vendor as our DJ/MC!

    Sean was an awesome DJ!

    We had Sean dj for our wedding, and it could not have been a better experience!! He did a lot of personal touches and played great music to keep everyone dancing! I loved that he offers things like sharing your love story, personal grand entrances for our wedding party, and let us put in any special things we wanted (my moms birthday was the week of my wedding, and he was awesome with her birthday shoutout/ song!). He was great!

    Sean was outstanding! We had so much fun at our wedding and would recommend Carlson Entertainment to anybody. He kept the party moving, was very personable, and made sure that we were always in the know on what was happening. Amazing service!

    Missy was top knotch!

    We had Missy from Carlson as our DJ at our wedding. She was FANTASTIC. I can honestly say there was not 1 single song that came on all night that I was bummed about it being played. She could read the crowd and knew the right jams to keep the party pumping. We found Carlson because they were a preferred DJ for our reception hall, The Metropolis Resort. So glad we found them and they were part of our day!

    Carlson Entertainment's services were the perfect complement to the best day of our lives!

    Sean created such an amazing experience for us and our guests that beyond exceeded our expectations for our wedding day! His commitment to his clients knows no bounds - from providing ideas, very user-friendly online planning forms, timeline coordination, and even helping one of the kids in our family find a band-aid after he scraped his knee at the reception (talk about a full-service DJ)! He made the entire day so seamless and fun, and our guests absolutely loved his energy and friendliness. The dancefloor was never empty, and the playlist was just perfect for us.

    He has such a big heart and a very clear passion for what he does. We loved working with him and would recommend Sean and Carlson Entertainment over and over again!

    Shelby and Jared Phillips

    Sean Dj'd our wedding this past Saturday., And also prepared a video showcasing our love to each other, and telling our stories. He was the easiest, most professional, and fun person to work with. He was the first and only DJ we met with before deciding, and we instantly fell in love with the vibe he gave off. His communication was better than most, and he made a point to make sure everything was perfect for my husband and me. I will recommend Sean and all of the amazing work he does to everyone that I know. He absolutely KILLED it.

    Best day of our lives!

    We hired Sean to be our dj for our big day and couldn't have been happier! He was so personable and catered to our every need. He made our day absolutely perfect from our ceremony with our flower men dancers to our grand march ideas. The dance floor was always packed with guests and he always had a smile on his face. He always made sure we were on schedule throughout the day and really helped out with getting our wedding party together as it was 20 people to find. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you Sean for making our day so special!

    "Your DJ was the BEST!"

    The best DJ ever! We heard that phrase from multiple guests all night long. Our event manager was so impressed with Sean of Carlson Entertainment that he asked to make him the preferred vendor at our wedding reception venue. Sean was easy to work with, had lots of fun ideas, and was able to make the day memorable. He did a great job putting together our love story and while reading it there wasn't a dry eye in the house! Thank you Sean for your hard work, positive attitude, and for making our wedding day even more special! Highly recommend Carlson Entertainment!!

    Simply the best!!

    If you need a DJ for your event, look no further than Carlson Entertainment. Can choose multiple packages that fit your event and they do not try and push anything on you. Wedding planning is stressful, with Sean it is a breeze. This is one vendor where if you have an idea, share it with him and if he thinks it will work he will do it! 10/10 for Carlson Entertainment, thank you so much for making our day so special!

    Very fun crew

    Sean is wonderful. He was willing to zoom with us since we do not live in the area. He allowed us to be creative and gave us a lot of examples from past experiences he has had. He certainly seems like the life of the party. He has a great deal of add on's for making your day extra special. Very excited to work with him and his crew.

    We found Carlson Entertainment through our wedding venue recommended list. When we initially met with Sean over Skype, we immediately knew that he was the one wanted to work with for our upcoming wedding. Right from the beginning, he was always offering to help with anything that we needed, even if it didn't pertain to our music. Sean made us feel like we didn't need to worry about any of the details come the day of, which was so comforting especially since we worked with our day of coordinator through emails.
    We choose to purchase the all-inclusive package that allowed us to really personalize our wedding. We made a couple fun videos, which included our dogs, that we surprised our guests with. He also helped my husband surprise me by pre recording him singing our first dance song. Everyone still raves about all of the little details that our wedding will forever be remembered by. We highly recommend Carlson Entertainment to anyone who is getting married.

    Sean Carlson was the DJ at my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. The music was perfect, never leaving the dance floor anywhere close to empty. He played music for our ceremony as well, and helped organize everything the day of. We couldn't have asked for a better service on our big day!

    Carlson Entertainment provided the perfect music for our wedding! They are true professionals, and we are so happy with everything! All of our guests loved them too! They performed live music for all aspects of our special day – ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dance. They were able to showcase their full range of talent – from classical ceremony music, to background cocktail hour music, to upbeat and modern dance music! Sean is great to work with throughout the planning process, and he is full of great ideas! He pulled together the perfect quartet of musicians to perform for us, and he even made it a special point to learn and perform our first dance song live and that added such a nice touch to the day. During the reception and dance, they were great at reading the crowd and performing songs that kept things joyous and lively!

    Where do I even start? Sean worked so hard to make our day incredible! Guests asked me if we have known him for years because of how much time and effort he put into our day. From helping us plan, picking out music, and personalizing everything, he made our day unforgettable. He made us laugh with our personalized bridal party entrance and cry during the ceremony when playing guitar. Couldn't ask for a better day and person to make our night awesome. Our guests have so many great things to say also!

    Sean is amazing. He worked closely with us through every step of the process, from timelines to song choices. He offers lighting options and give the couple the opportunity to create a very personalized experience. We received a ton of compliments of our "love story"- Sean asked each of us to describe how we met, our first date, our engagement etc and keep our version of the story secret from our partner. It was so fun to hear about our relationship through my groom's eyes and for him to hear mine. Sean kept the dance party going all night and helped us throw the best party ever on our best day ever! Could not recommend him more!!!

    Sean was awesome. There was an issue with a DJ that was to be provided by our vendor that resulted in being without a DJ on Friday afternoon with a Sunday wedding. Sean was available and went above and beyond to Help us plan our day last minute. Helping with song selection was awesome and those songs will forever be a part of the most memorable parts of the day. I am so grateful that we were directed to Carlson Entertainment. Sean played an huge role in our day turning out to be the beautiful celebration of Love that it was. He was Fun, entertaining, organized and very professional even in the face of difficult venue staff. Everyone had a good time. I am grateful.

    Carlson Entertainment is the best! Sean is fun to work with and is very creative. He has lots of ideas and thinks outside the box to give you the most entertaining night. When I saw him perform at a friends wedding, I knew I wanted him for my wedding. We received lots of compliments from our guests. We also had a violinist and Sean played piano during the ceremony. Sean suggested a photo booth and at first I was hesitant because I was trying to keep costs down, but I'm glad we did the photo booth. Family and friends were there all night getting fun pictures taken. If you want the best, go with Carlson entertainment. You won't be disappointed!
