Unforgettable

Bill from Carlysle Entertainment was an amazing DJ for our wedding. My partner Cate is a police officer, and I am a paramedic. We were able to splurge on the vendors that were most important to us, our caterer, photographer, and DJ, because we held our reception in a fire hall that is always nicely decorated for Christmas parties. Bill added special lighting that completely elevated the atmosphere, and his music kept us on the dance floor nearly an hour past the original end time. We also appreciated learning that Carlysle Entertainment offers a first responder discount, which they don’t advertise. Even with two very type-A brides, Bill was patient, professional, and easy to work with, and he helped make our night unforgettable.

Our DJ Review

Bill from Carlysle Entertainment was fantastic to work with from our first meeting through the end of our wedding night. He was informative, organized, and managed our reception timeline and diverse music list flawlessly. After a special dance honoring the longest married couple, my partner’s grandparents, he kept the dance floor busy all night. When he came to let us know our last dance was coming up, we were taking a selfie with part of our wedding party, and Bill suggested we take a few more. He then invited all of our guests to form a big circle around us on the dance floor and had us go around taking selfies with everyone on their phones before our last dance. It turned into such a fun and memorable moment. It’s obvious Bill truly loves what he does.

West Oaks.

Bill Marsh with Carlysle Entertainment was absolutely phenomenal! He was incredibly professional and exceeded our expectations for our wedding at West Oaks Farm Market.
Bill is an outstanding MC; he kept our entire evening timeline perfectly on track and made all the announcements engaging and clear. The music selection was fantastic—a great mix that included everything we requested, keeping the dance floor packed!
If you want a professional DJ who manages the entire reception flawlessly, hire Bill!

No Ugly Sweaters

It has been almost a year since our wedding last December, but we gave both of our parents their copies of our wedding album and video over Thanksgiving weekend and heard a lot of compliments about how much fun everyone had at our wedding. Looking through the photos and video sparked several memories, but the one that stood out the most for everyone was singing and dancing to three different versions of "All I Want For Christmas" that our DJ, Bill from Carlysle Entertainment played at different times during the reception, including the original Mariah Carey version as the last song of the night. We told Bill we wanted our wedding to be more like a big Christmas party than a typical wedding and that is exactly what we got thanks to some of his fun creative suggestions including a Secret Santa gift exchange between the guest tables and a “Pretty & Festive” sweater / outfit contest. If you are looking for someone that is more than just a great DJ and MC, then we recommend talking with Bill.

Perfect DJ & Lighting

We only had five months to plan our wedding, so we relied on the list our venue provided for most of our vendors, but we did not have a good vibe with any of the DJs on the list. My partner remembered that the non-profit he worked for had been using the same DJ, Bill Marsh at Carlysle Entertainment, for their annual anniversary event and holiday parties for at least ten years. We found out Bill was available for our date, and he encouraged us to meet in person so he could begin helping us with our timeline and song lists if we decided he would be a good fit for us during the meeting. Needless to say, we booked Bill to be our DJ for the ceremony and reception. We also added up lights around the room, along with some small spotlights he suggested to highlight a table of old family photos because we wanted to keep the lights in the room as dim as possible, and also on our cake not only to highlight it but also cast a shadow of our cake and custom cake topper on the wall that made our “Groundhog Day” wedding complete. Bill also nailed the vibe we wanted for our wedding music wise, even though we only gave him a list of about a dozen songs along with our formal songs, we all had an amazing time together, and although we are not a big dancing crowd the dance floor was never empty.

Same DJ - New Tricks!

I have been working in catering and event sales for several years, which is how I met my husband who owns a video production company, so planning our wedding was somewhat second nature. Most of our vendors were wedding professionals we became friends with, or knew from working together at other weddings, including Bill, our DJ, who I met when I was working at my very first job as a server for a restaurant & catering venue. He was also the DJ at my older brother's wedding, then my younger sister, two cousins, and a few other friends’ weddings before we finally had him DJ our wedding almost 14 years later. We both enjoy a wide range of music and gave Bill a rather long list of songs that he took the time to go over with us during one of our planning meetings so we could group together a list of must play songs and songs that could be used during cocktails, dinner, and dancing. He also mentioned that he made up a list of the first dance songs from each of the other weddings and asked if we would mind if he ended up including a few of them during dinner. We were having a multi course formal seated dinner and were hoping guests would get up and dance between courses if they wanted. Bill’s real plan was to include each of those first dance songs into the dinner list which created several special moments. Later he also used some dance songs that he found to be on at least a few of the must play lists from those weddings that were also on our list that really helped set the mood for dancing all night.

The Dudeist Priest

We booked Bill Marsh of Carlysle Entertainment to be the DJ for our wedding because he came highly recommended by a good friend of ours. We had no idea at the time that Bill would also help us coordinate our ceremony and reception, facilitate a surprise appearance by Elvis to marry us, and later perform one of his Vegas sets during dinner leading into our second dance, then, since Elvis could not perform weddings outside of Vegas or Graceland, Bill ultimately become an ordained Dudeist Priest of the Church of The Latter Day Dude to be the real officiant for our ceremony. Along with all that Bill also worked through our eclectic song list that ranged from Vegas Lounge, Country, and Classic Rock to Pat Travers, Usher, LMFAO, Disturbed, and Remmstein. At 58 & 60 years old we both had our own ideas for how we wanted our wedding, and Bill found a way to blend them together for a perfect afternoon and evening with our families and friends.

Carlysle Entertainment DJ

Bill was a fantastic DJ for our wedding. He worked with us consistently through the planning process, and coordinated well with our other vendors. It was clear that he valued making our experience the best he could and made it unique to our experience. He had helpful advice in the time leading up to the event about the music and the overall flow of the event. The night of the wedding he kept the dance floor alive from when it opened to the end of the night. Overall a fantastic experience.

Outstanding DJ & MC!

Carlysle Entertainment was one of our favorite vendors for our wedding. Bill Marsh was outstanding as our DJ and Master of Ceremonies and helped us create and manage our timeline through the ceremony and reception. They also provided amber colored up lights for around the ballroom, and a different type of up lights mixed in around the dance floor end of the room that switched from a solid color to a dance mode, changing colors with the music. Those lights really added a little flair to the party atmosphere without making it look like we were in a club. What impressed us even more was how Bill utilized our very long song list to include songs that were just right for cocktails and dinner, while saving some of the best for later to keep everyone dancing. We always felt as if Bill wanted to go an extra step to make our wedding even better than we expected.

Exactly what we wanted!

Even though there are plenty of DJs with a hundred or more reviews, I was impressed with the consistency of the reviews Carlysle Entertainment received about how helpful they were. That was exactly what we were looking for because neither of us had been to many weddings before ours and we needed some guidance. We exchanged a few emails with Bill Marsh and he gave us very detailed answers to our questions, so we decided to schedule a virtual meeting with him. In the meeting Bill was more than willing to not just answer our questions but offer suggestions and help us see how our wedding reception would flow from the formalities to a fun party. He warned us that time would fly by and recommended we add an hour to the reception if we wanted to have a few moments to just relax and not worry about what was next. It was exactly how we wanted our wedding reception to be, but we did not even know that until Bill helped us realize that.

The Family Wedding DJ

Bill Marsh at Carlysle Entertainment was my cousin's wedding DJ eight years ago, he was my brother's wedding DJ three years ago, and we had a great time at both weddings, so it was an easy choice to book him for our wedding. We are keeping Bill in the family because my husband's parents recently booked him to DJ their 40th anniversary party next year and his sister hopes to have him DJ her wedding when she and her fiancé finally settle on a date.

So Good We Booked Him Twice

In 1999 Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment was the DJ at our wedding. This year we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a wedding vow renewal and Party Like It's 1999 themed reception. We have a small farm property with a big pond that we call Lake Minnetonka, so that is where we had our ceremony and reception under a huge tent that Carlysle Entertainment turned into our Purple Rain Paradise with a combination lighting and drapery with glass beading hanging down from the tent ceiling and sides. They also used purple and white lights to light up several of the large trees we have around the property. We only gave Bill a list of about 20 songs including our original first dance and our "new second first dance" as he called it, but he had everyone dancing for several hours including over an hour past the planned end time. Hopefully we will be able to have him DJ our next milestone event when we both turn 60 in the same month as our 30th anniversary.

Amazing Service

We originally booked a DJ about eight months before out wedding based on recommendations in a local Facebook wedding group because we had never booked a DJ before and had no idea were to start. I am not going to say much about the horrible experience we had trying to communicate with them, but eventually we were done trying and asked our venue's catering coordinator if she had any advice. She understood our concerns and gave us a list with three DJs on it. The first one we called was Bill Marsh at Carlysle Entertainment and not only did he pick up the phone and answer several questions we had for him, he also offered to set up a Zoom meeting for us later that evening after learning our wedding was just a few months away. From that moment, we knew we wanted to book him and after the Zoom meeting he offered to meet us at the venue to see how different lighting colors would look in the room before we decided to add them into the contract. A week later we had another Zoom meeting for him to help us with some song selections and then a final planning meeting a few weeks before the wedding. We went from being ghosted to feeling like we were the only wedding on Carlysle Entertainment's schedule, and it came as no surprise that we were able to relax and enjoy an amazing wedding night.

Spectacular

My partner Kyle and I saw Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment DJ a friend's wedding last year, that was simply delightful. After our wedding a lot of our mutual friends are still talking about how much fun both of our weddings were even though they were in very unique settings. We had a rather plain venue, so we wanted to use some drapery and lighting to hide a couple of ugly walls. When we walked into the room for some group photos before the ceremony it looked like we walked into a winter wonderland. Later while we were dancing, Bill had some of the up lights set to change colors as if they were almost literally dancing to the music with everyone, and it definitely enhanced the party vibe we wanted. There are lots of DJs to choose from, but we know there are very few that are as passionate about their craft and dedicated to the couples they serve as Bill, and we are thrilled to know he will be the DJ at my sister's wedding next October.

Everything we wanted...AND MORE!

We had many decisions to make in planning our wedding, and the BEST decision we made was hiring Carlysle Entertainment.

We wanted the music at our wedding to be meaningful to us -- very personal. Bill Marsh did just that. He was fantastic. He worked with us to make sure the processional, the background music, and the dance music were all exactly what we wanted. Bill has a vast music library; and if he didn’t have a song we requested, he went and got it. Everything was perfect and memorable. Thank you, Carlysle Entertainment, for helping to make our wedding a perfect day!

Even better the second time!

My husband and I were originally married in 2003 and he surprised me with a vow renewal celebration that I thought was a botched attempt at a surprise birthday party. I overheard a video chat he was having with Bill from Carlysle Entertainment, who was our original wedding DJ, and could tell they were talking about birthday party plans. It turned out that was intentional to throw me off the real plan, and Bill did most of the coordinating with the other wedding related vendors to help keep the surprise even more secret. As we walked into the dimly lit venue, I was expecting the lights to come on and the obligatory SURPRISE! However, the real surprise was that everyone was seated at their tables holding candles and Bill began playing the string quartet version of "At Last" that was the same song we walked down the aisle together for our wedding ceremony. This time we just went to the center of the dance floor and as we did everyone gathered around us with their candles for the ceremony and then instead of playing our recessional song from the wedding, Bill played our first dance and created the most amazing moment. Then he played our recessional song, which was Signed, Sealed, Delivered, by Stevie Wonder and we were dancing and mingling with everyone for the rest of the night. Bill & my husband collaborated to not only surprise me, which is nearly impossible, but also create an unbelievably amazing party.

Our wedding, our way!

Before we began planning our wedding we had been to several other weddings in the past few years and the one thing that stood out to us was how some things did not seem to go as the wedding couple intended for one reason or another. It was important to us that we not feel rushed, be surrounded by our families and friends, and have plenty of time to enjoy the entire day not just savor a few special moments. My cousin is a corporate event planner and helped us achieve those goals with the help from her favorite DJ, Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment. We booked a venue that only hosted one wedding per weekend and a catering company that did not go crazy when we said we wanted to have a laid back six hour reception. Bill worked with us to create several different phases of music for the day to compliment the spread out timeline and by the end of the evening more than half of our guests were gathered in a big circle as we enjoyed out last dance which is just what we wanted.

Highly Recommend Carlysle Entertainment

We booked Carlysle Entertainment for our wedding because they have been the DJs at the holiday parties and other events where I work for the past eight years, and one of my co-workers referred them to the company for their first big holiday party after they did her wedding. Bill was our DJ and, in some ways, also our coordinator, because our wedding was not at a typical wedding venue. Whenever I had questions or needed something Bill was quick to respond with answers and solutions or recommendations for services and items Carlysle Entertainment could not provide directly. He also guided us through planning out our timeline and of course the song selections for our ceremony and reception. Thanks to Bill we were able to enjoy our wedding day with our family and friends, including my co-worker and her wife who Bill knew would be there, so he played their first dance during dinner. I guess that was a popular first dance song because several other couples got up to dance and I do not think the dance floor was ever empty again for the rest of the reception.

The right DJ for the Wright wedding.

We did not have good experiences dealing with the DJs that were on the vendor list for our venue but there was one DJ, Carlysle Entertainment that was on on three of the lists from the other venues we visited so we checked out their reviews and decided to send them an email. Bill Marsh responded to our email quickly and asked us to call him at our convenience so we called that evening. After answering several of our questions on the phone for about 20 minutes he offered to schedule a time for us to meet in person or virtually on Zoom, and I jokingly said why not do that now. The next thing I know Bill sent us a Zoom link and we spent the next hour or so talking about the things Carlysle Entertainment could do for our wedding and the next day we booked Bill to be our DJ. Bill lived up to all of the great things other people said about him in their reviews and helped us keep our sanity through the random ups and downs of planning our wedding. The day of our wedding was a blur but we are constantly reminded how much fun everyone had ever since then and my sister in law already booked Carlysle Entertainment for her wedding next summer.

Simply Outstanding!

Carlysle Entertainment was simply outstanding to work with from beginning to end and we were having so much fun we even extended the ending for an extra hour. When we first spoke with Bill, he said he was familiar with our venue and that the cover photo from the Carlysle Entertainment Facebook page was from the first wedding he did there. It looked nothing like our venue at first but when he sent us the before and after photos, we were amazed how some white drapery and up lights could completely transform the room. We never even considered that our wedding DJ would also help us with decorating our venue, but it quickly became obvious that we would be getting a lot more than just a wedding DJ after meeting with Bill in person. We even booked a photo booth that could also make video greetings from everyone that turned out to be a lot more fun than we expected. We definitely recommend Bill Marsh and Carlysle Entertainment to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding DJ and so much more.

Small wedding, big moments!

We met Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment while we were in town for a wedding expo near our venue earlier this year and followed up with a virtual meeting a couple weeks later that he offered to host on Zoom after learning we lived in Richmond. From the first time we talked it was obvious that Bill really enjoys weddings and was always willing to answer questions, share ideas, and offer solutions whenever we reached out to him. He even helped us with our floor plan and timeline because the venue coordinator would not be assigned to us until a couple weeks before our wedding. We had a small group of guests, but everyone had a great time and many of them stayed on the dance floor with us right up to the very end when Bill had them make a circle for us to begin the last dance. I am sure the circle for the last dance is nothing new, but Bill put a little extra twist on it that created a perfect moment. We absolutely recommend Carlysle Entertainment to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding DJ and be sure to ask about the last dance circle.

Fun And Games For Everyone!

Our wedding was almost a year ago and we are still hearing about how much fun people had at our wedding reception and while we would love to take all the credit for those compliments, we really owe most of it to our DJ, Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment. Bill was the DJ at a co-worker's wedding that was the first "wedding date" my husband and I went on together, only a few months after we had our first real date. We met at a bar near my office that had weekly bar trivia and music bingo nights on rival teams of regulars. When we booked Bill in 2019 for our 2020 wedding we had no idea how crazy things were about to become but he was a calm reassuring guide though the many months of chaos that ensued. As soon as it became obvious that we were not going to be back to normal any time soon, we were quick to reschedule our wedding to 2022 because our venue had the original Saturday we wanted available, and Carlysle Entertainment was incredibly accommodating in the rescheduling process. We are not big dancers but love to go out and have fun at our favorite local hangouts. When we talked with Bill about this and brought up where we met, he suggested we include a wedding version of bar trivia into the cocktails and dinner portion of our reception and have music bingo going through the whole reception using the bingo cards as our place cards. Since we had a couple extra years to work on our song lists, we had more than enough songs to fill the bingo cards so in the end they were all winning cards as long as people kept track of the songs being played. Bill also suggested using our First Dance song as the Free Spot in the middle and included our other formal songs on every card. We also added giant Jenga and giant Connect Four that were set up on the patio with fire pits so between the games, trivia, bingo, and even dancing there was something for everyone to enjoy all night.

Super Helpful & Lots More Fun

Carlysle Entertainment is the first DJ on the preferred vendor list at our venue, the first to respond to our request for information, and the first vendor we booked after our venue. This turned out to be incredibly helpful because our DJ, Bill Marsh, was always willing to answer any questions we had, offer recommendations for other vendors, share ideas based on his past experiences, and help us with some of our song selections. We are both fairly laid back, but it was nice to have someone looking out for us and making sure we did not leave out anything or miss any special moments on the night of our wedding so we could just have fun with our families and friends.

Carlysle Entertainment made our day magical!

We saw Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment DJ two other weddings as a couple, and he was the DJ at a hot air balloon festival where my husband proposed to me. This made it an easy decision to book Bill for our wedding, and it was as if we were working with an old friend by the time we had our final planning meeting. With Bill's help we found several ways to include our hot air balloon passion into our wedding, including a hot air balloon themed centerpieces plus a balloon glow and tethered balloon ride departure photo op. We are not big dancers and had a late afternoon reception, but Bill managed to keep some of our family and friends dancing while also mixing in every song on our request list. It was a magical day we will never forget.

Danced all night!

Bill was a great DJ and emcee for our wedding. Planning the sound and music for our ceremony and reception was very smooth. Bill is extremely responsive, thorough, and enthusiastic; you can tell he loves his job. We appreciated that Bill had extensive experience working with our venue, so we had absolute confidence in his recommendations for our ceremony sound, flow for the night, and music suggestions. We wanted an awesome dance party that would have our guests dancing the whole reception, and Bill delivered!

The reviews were right!

We had to do most of our wedding planning and vendor shopping from out of state, so we were happy to find a few of the same vendors on the recommendation lists from both venues we were considering. When we settled on our venue, we asked them for their personal favorites that showed up on both lists, and Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment was the DJ they mentioned. After a few email exchanges, a phone conversation, and a Zoom meeting that Bill encouraged and hosted, we knew we found our DJ. Over the next fourteen months leading up to our wedding, Bill became the vendor we reached out to the most for help sorting through ideas, and he even hosted a couple group Zoom meetings with family and other vendors since we had very limited opportunities to be in Maryland before the wedding. Everything we read in prior reviews about Carlysle Entertainment was right but if we had to narrow our review down to a few key words they would be words like, accommodating, outstanding, and spectacular.

Look no further for your wedding day entertainment!

After booking our wedding venue, Bill Marsh was our first call! Our friends hired him as their DJ when they got married — he was a funny emcee and kept the dance floor packed all night. We knew he’d be a great choice for our wedding, so we booked him as soon as we locked in our wedding date.

Bill guided us through pretty much the entire wedding planning process, offering tips and suggestions along the way over countless Zoom calls and emails. And on the day of the wedding, he ran the show, from playing many of our favorite songs during the ceremony prelude to getting our guests warmed up for our reception entrance and first dance to keeping people on the dance floor throughout the night with a great mix of crowd-pleasing hits.

Thanks for making our wedding night so fun and special, Bill, and thanks for helping us stay sane as we navigated planning a wedding during such weird times!

We love our DJ!:)

Freddie & Carlysle Entertainment HANDS DOWN the best DJ we could have had at our wedding. So many people talked about how amazing he was even till this day 6 months after our wedding. From the first time meeting Freddie & Bill (who did my brother's wedding) we knew Freddie's positive energy was what we needed on the day of our wedding. As soon as my husband and I arrived at the reception he came and greeted us and let us know he was there to make the evening run smoothly. He made us feel like he’d known us for our whole relationship and was there every step of the way from the first time meeting up until the end of the wedding night. He helped make our night even more special than we could have imagined!

Thanks Carlysle Entertainment

We originally planned to use a couple Bluetooth speakers with my iPad for music because we were having a short cocktail reception with only around 60 guests. Our pastor asked if we would have a microphone for the ceremony and that made me rethink things and I found myself searching for a DJ five weeks before our wedding. I sent out a few emails to DJs from a wedding expo we attended right after getting engaged in 2019 and the first to reply was Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment. He offered to schedule a virtual meeting that evening since our wedding date was so close. The next night we met on Zoom and everything just clicked so well in the first hour or our meeting that we spent the next two hours with Bill walking us through their planning forms and helping us create a timeline for the entire wedding. The simple cocktail reception with no dancing we were settling for became a memorable cocktail party that even included some dancing and ended with our guests surrounding us on the dance floor singing along to Take Me Home Country Roads. We did not even pick a last dance because we did not expect anyone to dance but Bill figured out my wife went to WVU and said it was an obvious choice since it was checked off on one of his song lists.

Even better the second time.

My long time boyfriend proposed on Valentine’s Day 2020. That was almost 14 years after our “first date” which was really my sister’s wedding and we were both the only two singles in the bridal party. Bill from Carlysle Entertainment was her DJ and we knew we had to book him for our wedding since he was kind of like our matchmaker. The night of my sister’s wedding flew by so we extended the reception by an hour when we booked the venue. Bill kept the music mix flowing and the dance floor was always busy, but the best compliment came from me sister who said she was having more fun the second time around. Fortunately we will not have to wait another 15 years because my cousin already booked Carlysle Entertainment for her wedding next year.

A year later was even better.

Even though Carlysle Entertainment was on the preferred vendor lists from our venue and caterer we checked out their reviews here and another website before contacting them. The common details that stood out for us we’re their creativity and willingness to help solve any issues that might arise. After talking with Bill on the phone and meeting him in person we knew we found our DJ. Thanks to Bill we also found our sanity through the COVID craziness of 2020. Our wedding was a year late but far better than if it had been on time because no one wanted the party to end and we are still sharing stories about how much fun we all had that night.

From postponed to perfect!

We booked Carlysle Entertainment for our May 2020 wedding in December of 2018 because Bill Marsh had been the DJ at my company holiday party for the previous 5 years and always made them fun for everyone. Of course, Covid forced us to change our wedding date from 2020 to 2021 but our venue did not have any weekend dates open in May so we were considering switching venues. In a conversation with Bill about a few of the venues we looked at, he mentioned that a lot of couples were switching to weekday dates so they could keep their venues. This was perfect for us because my birthday is May 4th and we are both big Star Wars fans, probably because our parents are big Star Wars fans. It turned out to be an even more special night because a lot of family and friends that originally had conflicts with out first date were able to be there with us dancing under the stars on a Tuesday night. Thanks to Covid and Bill’s suggestion we had an even more perfect wedding than we could have ever dreamed of and May the Fourth will be with us, always.

Wonderful Wedding Entertainment

Bill of Carlysle Entertainment was wonderful to work with, both in the months leading up to our wedding and the event itself. He was extremely knowledgeable about lighting, sound, musical cues and timing, and had endless tips and suggestions gained from his experience as a wedding DJ and entertainer. Whenever we had a question he was ready with a prompt response, always offering to speak on the phone or meet at the venue to make sure we got the answers and information we needed. Could not recommend him enough for any major event, 5 stars!

Amazing Wedding DJ

Our wedding was everything we had imagined and our wedding vendors were all great but the one that stood out the most for us was our DJ, Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment. We learned in our first meeting that Bill was always willing to answer questions, give recommendations, and help us turn some of our ideas into real elements of our wedding. At his suggestion we had our final planning meeting at our venue and did a walk through of the rooms we were using so we could see how the colors we wanted for up lighting would look. We also had a very diverse song list that he went through the list and sorted out what would work well for cocktails, dinner, and dancing. plus he asked us to mark off any must play songs or important songs for family members like our parent's first dance songs. Thanks to our wedding photos I will always remember how incredible everything looked, and thanks to our friends and family we will never forget how much fun we all had dancing and even singing along to so many great songs throughout the night. Bill Marsh was an amazing DJ and we definitely recommend Carlysle Entertainment.

20 on a scale of 1-10

I am guessing I am not like most guys on this issue but the one wedding planning responsibility I was not excited about was booking and working with the DJ. The music I like does not show up on many wedding song lists and I rarely have any free time because I run my own business. Shopping for a DJ ended up being easy because our venue and one of our friends recommended the same company, Carlysle Entertainment. We called and met with Bill Marsh, who was incredibly flexible scheduling and rescheduling our meeting to work around our crazy jobs. What we did not know when we finally met and booked Bill 21 months before our 10/02/20 wedding was that 2020 was not going to be a normal year.

When everything was shut down in March due to Covid we did not think it would have any impact on our wedding almost 7 months later but as the shutdown continued things became doubtful quickly and by July we were afraid our venue would not be reopened. We emailed Bill to ask about rescheduling if it became necessary but he came up with a different idea. Since he knew we lived on several acres and had a large building to store equipment for my business, plus that our venue also offered outside catering service, so he suggested we move the wedding to our place. He helped design the set up with a large tent on each side of my equipment building with all of the garage doors open on both sides to use the garage space as a huge dance floor and guest tables spread out in both tents.

Carlysle Entertainment had also implemented several safety measures of their own to keep everyone as safe as possible, such as giving each person making a toast their own microphone cover and keeping the microphone on a stand so they did not need to pass it from person to person. They also made a custom QR code with our engagement photo in the background and put them in a frame on each table so guests could make song requests from their phones, although Bill said he did not get very many requests so I guess they liked what he was playing which somehow included several of my favorite songs, and as I mentioned before, they did not seem like wedding songs to me, so that was a very pleasant surprise.

In the insane year of 2020, Bill Marsh and Carlysle Entertainment proved to be a 20 on a scale of 1-10.

Bill Marsh - The Wedding Answer DJ

Carlysle Entertainment was an easy choice for our wedding because Bill Marsh was the DJ for a friend's wedding a few years ago and we loved the music. What we did not realize until our first meeting with Bill was how much we would come to rely on Bill to have the answer for just about any question we had about our wedding through the entire planning process. He definitely did not disappoint when it came to living up to our expectations from our friend's wedding, and we happily recommending Bill and Carlysle Entertainment to anyone we know getting married or planning a party. In fact, he would have been the DJ for my husband's company anniversary event this summer, but like everything else, that has been postponed until next year.

Carlysle Entertainment Crushed It!

Bill Marsh and everyone working at Carlysle Entertainment are amazing! Bill Marsh has been the DJ at holiday parties and other work events for both of our jobs for many years so booking him to DJ our wedding was an easy choice. Bill was always an email or phone call away and eager to answer questions, make suggestions, recommend other vendors, and brainstorm ideas to help make our wedding perfect. For our wedding Carlysle Entertainment provided wooden yard games and lighting inside and outside of our venue including lights that had custom "welcome" and "thank you" messages on them. We already knew Bill would play great music all night so we only gave him a list of songs for the ceremony and reception formalities plus a few special requests. Bill crushed it! We are still getting compliments from our guests about the music and how much fun everyone had that night.

Carlysle Entertainment - Miracle Workers

Four days ago a couple girls got hitched surrounded by our families, friends, and a bunch of horses while enjoying a perfect day that will be an everlasting memory, all thanks to Bill Marsh and Carlysle Entertainment.

We both work with race horses for a living and planned our wedding for the Sunday after the Preakness since we are from Maryland and several of our out of state friends would be in town for the race. Thanks to the Covid-19 shutdown we had to postpone our wedding and decided to wait until the same day next year. Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment made this a very smooth process because they already had a clause in their contract to address the unimaginable need to postpone. As the months went by we realized we just wanted to get married and were offered an opportunity to have our wedding at the breeding farm we work for in Maryland. We called Bill on September 3rd, and told him our crazy idea to have the wedding on the 20th. We did not have any other vendors on board except our photographer, but Bill made a few suggestions and by the 7th we had everything else covered. Bill hosted a virtual meeting for us to plan out the music for the evening and he discussed several safety precautions they have been implementing to help prevent any issues. A week later he hosted a second virtual meeting with us including the photographer and caterer to wrap up the details and finalize the timeline. In seventeen days we went from a blank canvas to a wedding that far exceeded our original vision and the sounds of everyone singing along to Tiny Dancer, Dancing Queen, and Good as Hell are still stuck in our heads.

Carlysle Entertainment and Bill Marsh are Excellent

Carlysle Entertainment and Bill Marsh are Excellent! Well, that is what the caption for 5 stars says but if I could I would give them 10 stars. The company I work for has used Carlysle Entertainment to DJ, MC, and provide AV services for an annual event over the past 10 years or more, so picking Bill to be my wedding DJ was easier than picking my venue. Coincidentally Bill helped me with that by recommending a few different venues to consider and we fell in love with the first venue on his list. My fiancé / wife and I had been to several weddings before ours and we decided we just wanted a party instead of all the typical wedding stuff. We did our first dance and opened the dinner stations after a few toasts then it felt like we never stopped dancing after that. The entire day and night were perfect, and Carlysle Entertainment had a lot to do with that.

More than just a great DJ!

We contacted Carlysle Entertainment after booking our photographer because they were on her recommended vendor list and on the lists from our venue and caterer. They were quick to respond and we set up a meeting with Bill Marsh later the same week. We knew we wanted to book them 20 minutes into the meeting but kept talking with Bill for at least another hour brainstorming ideas for our wedding. He had a bunch of great suggestions and we would have kept talking even longer but had to get to another meeting. Carlysle Entertainment ended up taking care of more than just the DJ and MC for our wedding. They also did up lighting inside and outside for the front entrance of the venue along with music for our ceremony. Bill also helped us with ideas for our guest book, centerpieces, and when we asked if they could help with a video screen and projector for a slide show during dinner, Bill suggested what turned out to be a much better and less expensive option to have a large flat screen TV set up near the bar so the slide show could have more photos and run all night not just once while we were eating. All of our wedding vendors did a great job and we could not have been happier with all of our choices, but months later we are reminded of how much Bill and Carlysle Entertainment did for us when we look at photos from the wedding or have someone tell us how much fun they had that night. We will be seeing Bill again next summer at my brother's wedding so yes, we definitely recommend him and Carlysle Entertainment to anyone that wants a great DJ for their wedding.

Extremely helpful and helped to make our day perfect!

Bill Marsh at Carlysle Entertainment was wonderful! He was extremely flexible and accommodating, whether it was meeting us at a location that was more convenient, helping us choose our ceremony music a week before the wedding (i was very indecisive), or dealing with a less than helpful day-of-coordinator at our venue. People were dancing all night and everything ran smoothly from start to finish! We highly recommend Bill!

Danced the Night Away

Our goal for the wedding was to keep everyone dancing, the entire time. Bill kept the entire wedding on the dance floor, reading the crowd and playing songs that everyone knew. He was able to find the obscure songs that we walked down the aisle to, and was easy to work with. Thank you so much for everything Bill!

Black Ties & Tiaras vs Jersey Beaches Mashup

While we were searching unsuccessfully for a DJ for our wedding the in-house wedding coordinator at our venue and our photographer both gave us l raving recommendations for Bill Marsh of Carlysle Entertainment so he was the next one we contacted. After exchanging emails and a phone conversation we scheduled an appointment to meet with Bill and after the first 20 minutes of our meeting we both knew our search was over. The next hour or so was spent talking about our crazy opposite music tastes and desire to have a casual, fun atmosphere in a formal, elegant setting. A few months before our wedding we asked about adding up lighting and Bill suggested we meet at the venue so we could see how the different options would look and also pick the perfect color. He even scheduled the appointment a little before sunset so we could see how the lights would look while it was still daylight and then dark outside like it would be for our wedding. That is just one of many examples of how focused Bill was on making sure we were beyond satisfied on our wedding day, and night. His ability to put our unique song list to work during the reception was better than even we could have imagined and although we were in a venue suited for black tie events we just as easily could have been in our favorite New Jersey beach bar.

Bill Marsh was a fantastic DJ. He met with us in person several times to go over the music and the lighting. We also had many phone calls to discuss the lighting and the flow of the day. He really knew how to make the night flow with the music and could read the dance floor to determine what music to play. The up lighting in the tent at our venue was amazing. I would highly recommend him!!

Bill Marsh brings it! Carlysle Entertainment provided our wedding reception DJ and MC as well as cocktail room music. They also provided additional lighting for the event (gobo and side). Carlysle was easy to work with and listened to our needs while offering their suggestions. The ceiling display of our wedding "logo" was awesome and the additional touches they did with side lighting really helped the room. The cocktail music was at an appropriate level and the dance music kept the party going right up until the last bus begged us to leave. The DJ Bill Marsh MC'ed the event from seating through goodnight, cuing us for entrances, first dances, cake cutting, and goodbyes. He was appropriately deferential while remaining strong enough to keep the event moving. Carlysle nailed it!

An old high school friend recommended Bill as a DJ for our wedding. We had the event at my home and were on the fence on whether or not we needed a DJ. Very happy we did and very happy with Bill and Carlysle Entertainment. He came to look at the space ahead of time so we could agree on where he'd set up and what he'd set up. He gave us an extensive pre-wedding checklist and we talked about the music we wanted and didn't want. We had some strong opinions on what to play early in the evening and let him to use his best judgment for later on - asking him just to make sure the guests were having fun. He accommodated both requests and everyone had a great time (I later learned there was a conga line through my front yard in 10 degree weather, so I'm pretty sure the guests were having fun). Bill did a great job.

Bill Marsh was such a great DJ for our wedding! He was always there and made sure things were going smoothly before, during, and after the celebration. We didn't have to worry about him at all because he made good suggestions and we noticed early on he knew what he was talking about from experience. He was so helpful with everything from song choices to how specific lighting would look at our venue. What we also liked is that he was very personable and friendly, which made wedding planning SO much easier. We highly recommend him!

We were guests at two weddings within three months of each other that Bill Marsh of Carlysle Entertainment was the DJ at but one was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and the other was outside Baltimore, Maryland so we never thought it would be possible to have him DJ our wedding in Middleburg, Virginia. Funny thing is several months later when we asked my cousin who was also our photographer if she had any recommendations for a DJ she gave us two names and one was Carlysle Entertainment. To our surprise Bill was not only available but actually excited about the opportunity to work at a wedding on my grandparent's horse farm because he grew up on a horse farm as well and often admired their farm while driving past it through Middleburg. We already knew Bill was a great DJ but we quickly learned he was also a valued voice of reason and had countless great ideas and recommendations that helped us enjoy our dream wedding. Bill came up with some very creative ways to use up lighting and other accent lights to make our tent look amazing and also lit up some of the old trees around the farm as well as the exterior of the house and old barn where we had the ceremony. The best advice we got from Bill came in our final planning meeting when he said, "people will follow the girl in the white dress" in response to my wife asking if he had any tricks to keep our guests dancing. He then added that since we were both going to be the "girls in the white dress and we loved to dance, this will make my job much easier." His words echoed in my head a few different times throughout the night because we were constantly surrounded on the dance floor by friends and family from the end of the first dance until it was time for our sparkler send off at the end of the night. We also booked a photo booth through Carlysle Entertainment and find our friends looking through the scrapbook we had made of all the funny pictures from that more often than our formal wedding album right next to it.

From the start, our DJ, Bill, was incredibly flexible and accommodating! He was willing to answer all of our questions and he answered the phone any time we called. He spent almost 2 hours showing us different lighting options, and offered super helpful tips for any additional planning we were unsure about.
He not only created a lively atmosphere for our guests but had the best playlist ever! By the end of the night I could not thank him enough for everything he did, because without him, we truly would not have had the incredible time that we had! Thank you Carlysle Entertainment!

Bill Marsh is a gem! He was our DJ for our September 9th wedding. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled we were that we chose Bill. He is very passionate about his work, and it certainly shows! He spent a great deal of time with us through phone calls, emails, and in person, to ensure that we had a myriad of options, and a good idea of an outline and timeline for what we wanted. Bill is very professional and a joy to work with. He is a talented guy with loads of creativity and knowledge of such depth. He really was so helpful, not only in just his own specialty. What we ended up with for our wedding day was an elegant, yet super-fun celebration. The music, sound, and everything combined was something we never stop hearing positive feedback from all of our guests. He really worked with us in a way that produced an unforgettable day!!!! We recommend him to everyone :)

Bill Marsh was a great choice as a DJ for our daughter's recent wedding! Prior to the event, he was very timely with any correspondence and questions and was more than happy to meet as often as necessary to ensure he understood our vision for the evening. Bill made sure he explained the remote microphone situation for the reception with my husband and there were no awkward mic issues common at such venues. We had many Spanish guests and he read the crowd well, providing salsa selections and numerous requests for Despacito! We've had many compliments regarding his service, which I think some guests tend to take for granted. I believe the music can make a reception and we were thrilled with Bill's music selection and general demeanor during the evening. Thanks, Bill, for adding to wonderful memories of such a special day.

Bill Marsh was a fantastic DJ for our May 5 wedding! He was extremely accommodating and responsive leading up to the big day and also understanding of the fact that we had a lot going on in our personal lives that made the wedding planning process difficult and prevented us from giving him as much guidance on the music as he probably would have preferred. In spite of that, he rose to the occasion and provided an excellent soundtrack for the evening that had everyone dancing. His pricing was also very reasonable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a DJ.

Bill was absolutely great! Everything we needed, he was right there to help us with! We even mentioned that we would want to hire a lighting crew and he found the company, found what we specifically were looking for, and made it happen! Bill even went above and beyond for us and when we found out the plants in the corners of our ballroom had died, he went out and found wooden crates that would work just the same for our up-lighting! Bill truly was a blessing to our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better person to keep our party lively!

Bill did a great job DJing our wedding. We planned for a wedding without dancing and with an emphasis on board/yard games, and he was more than willing to accommodate us and even give us suggestions for non-traditional ways to do some of the expected wedding traditions. In addition, he helped run interference with a very opinionated mother of the bride whose wishes ran contrary to our requests. He was very easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the job he did.

Bill did a fantastic job for our wedding. My wife and I have very different musical tastes and he was able to accommodate both of us. The dance floor remained packed for the entire reception. Bill was very easy to get a hold of with any questions we had throughout the process. He is extremely organized and professional. I would recommend Bill for any wedding or occasion.

Bill Marsh did such an awesome job at our wedding. It was an absolute blast. I cannot believe how packed the dance floor was the entire time! During a meeting we had before the event, I told him that my one hope was to have people up and dancing and not sitting in their seats during the reception. His services beyond exceeded my expectations, as the dance floor was packed the entire night. Everything ran extremely smoothly and everyone we talk to continues to tell us what a fun night it was. I cannot thank Bill enough. I HIGHLY recommend Carlysle Entertainment/Bill Marsh.

Bill Marsh was more then what we could ever dream of. He was the DJ for our wedding and made our entire wedding extra memorable. We had very specific requests when it came to the music and he more then accommodated our requests. He also offered help for any other services we would need. We would recommend him to any one for any event. He is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to making an event special. We are very thankful for Mr. marsh.

Bill Marsh at Carlysle Entertainment was a fabulous DJ. He provided lots of suggestions, and managed to put together an excellent playlist that honored everyone's music interests. He also did the lighting for the venue inside and out. His manner and announcing skilss were great - he got everyone on the floor dancing and kept the fun going all night long. I highly recommend him!

Bill was so much fun to work with! He was very flexible to meet with is very knowledgeable of his work. I have worked with a lot of DJs as a wedding photographer for years and knew the importance of having a DJ that not only had personality, but could keep the party running smoothly and on time. On the flip side, I knew that I didn't want a DJ who was so pushy about the schedule, that they failed to communicate with everyone else involved. Bill was very good at working with the other vendors involved.

Bill worked hard with me to get the equipment I needed for the ceremony, so my string quartet would be heard. Despite a very windy day, The sound was perfect and just made the ceremony that much more special. I had also set up a slideshow for the reception and it was very important to me that the slideshow played because the father of the groom had prerecorded his speech to us on the slideshow. The venue was supposed to have the slideshow set up, but they had technical issues with the sound. Bill stepped up with the photographer and they worked out a solution so that the slideshow played.

Bill was also flexible when my maid of honor had a last minute surprise (I mean, last MINUTE...like 60 seconds before) for the bridal party entrance. Bill made it happen and it was super memorable.

We had a dry wedding, so I wanted guests to have plenty to entertain them. I was so happy to see all the pictures of our guests laughing and dancing. It really was a blast. I recommend this service to anyone!

Bill absolutely saved the day for us in SOOO many ways! First, we contacted him with a late request and he was able to accommodate our date. His presentation is all inclusive and once we met with him, we realized his services extended far beyond music/dj. He is so knowledgeable of so many wedding particulars, specifically how each detail affects all other vendors that if we didn't have his advice, we would have made many mistakes. He really is a full service professional who works to make the event PERFECT! Thanks to him, our event was seamless!!!!

Bill Marsh was great! He has years of experience and advice that really make your reception run smoothly. Bill was recommended by our venue and we're so glad that we followed up! We were impressed with the level of planning and thought that he put into the entire reception from introductions (got all of the names right!) to the music to the bouquet/garter toss and last dance. Bill kept things moving along and his attention to detail let me relax and know that things were going to turn out just fine.

We chose Bill Marsh for our DJ at our August wedding. Due to our extremely short timeline, he had only about 8 weeks of planning time to help us with our wedding. Yet we didn't feel stressed at all when working through the music details of our wedding day. In fact, he was one of the biggest reasons that we had such a low-stress wedding.

Beyond all the DJ services he provides, Bill also has a wealth of knowledge and advice for brides when they are planning their wedding. And he is very friendly and chatty and willing to share as much as you’d like to hear. I know without a doubt that Bill wanted my day to be perfect, as much as I did! I don’t think this is the case for every wedding vendor, and I consider myself lucky to have found Bill for all the extra help and advice he offered me. Also if you have any special requests, Bill is more than willing to make them happen. For us, we had some special salsa dances at our reception, which made things extra fun!

Bill does DJ with CD’s and not a laptop computer, so just keep in mind that he’ll need enough table space to accommodate this. Make sure you give him the venue contact information so that he can discuss logistics with them.

Overall Bill is a great DJ, and it definitely was the right decision to hire him for our wedding. So glad he was available for us on our tight timeline!

Bill was absolutely amazing! He made our wedding completely unforgettable. With a shifting Elvis impersonator schedule and very particular song requests he was able to handle everything and just nail it! Also, early in we weren't really sure what was involved in even getting ready for the wedding and he gave us a lot of really great advice along the way. He really felt like family by the time we got through the whole thing. Can't thank him or recommend him enough.

Bill was exceptionally-awesome and rocked! He was on time, completely flexible from day one, picked-up on our needs for our wedding, was receptive and responsive, and did everything he could to make our DJing experience above and beyond what we had anticipated! I strongly recommend him! He was a pleasure to work with and was genuine in his work. Look no where else - Bill should totally be your DJ! :)

Bill Marsh did a great job. He took the time to meet with us twice before the wedding to help us plan to make sure it was a special day. He was a great MC and his choice of music had everyone dancing throughout the night. After the wedding, everyone said it was fantastic and Bill was a big reason for that.

Unbelievable. Bill was absolutely stunning in his professionalism and great ideas. Don't get your cousin and his iPod to do your music. You'll get what you don't pay for. Bill was a blessing by picking out music that went along very well with the songs I selected for the reception. He has a lovely manner and everything was seamless and cheese-free. He brought along beautiful blue up-lights to light the barn for our Winter Wonderland themed dinner reception. The effect was incredibly stunning.

I think that one of the most important elements in our wedding was having the right DJ to keep all of our guests entertained. Starting with our first meeting with Bill Marsh—Carlyle’s main DJ—we knew we had contacted the right company for our wedding event. He was on top of all of the options, while at the same time he listened closely to what we wanted. He had a wide-ranging knowledge of all musical genres and he read the crowd throughout the night. Our dance floor was full from the first song played to the last.

When he was at work during the wedding, it was absolutely amazing. He honored our playlist (as well as our do-not-play list), while also playing some great of songs that were on neither. He was able to match the style suggested by our requests.

He made sure the music was appropriate for each part of the reception. During our dinner, there were quieter tunes that didn't drown out conversation. Then as the reception got going, he kept things moving--people loved the music. My wife and I could not have picked a better set of songs to play at our reception. Bill was also a great MC—he coordinated with the other vendors at the event to ensure that each step was announced and announced on time.

I would highly recommend Carlysle Entertainment to any prospective couple who’s looking to have a great time at their wedding.

We met Bill Marsh from Carlysle Entertainment at two different bridal shows last January and we were quickly impressed that he remembered us and our brief conversation from the first show as we were walking by their booth at the second show. We were also quite pleased with his overall knowledge about weddings and the many suggestions and recommendations he had for us since we were still new to the whole planning process. After we booked our venue Bill was the next vendor we booked and he was always quick to reply to my numerous emails seeking suggestions or answers to questions I had along the way.

Carlysle Entertainment also provided an open air style photo booth that was a huge hit with our guests and we incorporated the pictures into a scrap book style guest book that is still the source of a good laugh several months later. They did up-lighting for our reception as well as music and microphones for the ceremony along with a last minute addition for a special sound set up for a friend to play guitar to accompany my sister singing during the ceremony that we had not anticipated needing.

Most of all we wanted a fun wedding and knew the music would be a huge part of that but our musical tastes are so random that we felt it was best to just give Bill the songs for our first dance, father daughter dance, and such, plus a list of special requests and let him do the rest after highlighting a few dozen songs on his song lists. Apparently that was more than enough because there never seemed to be a lack of people on the dance floor. There is a question asking if I would recommend this vendor to a friend and my answer is most certainly yes because I already have, but she was at my wedding so it was not hard to convince her to book him Dano!

Carlysle Entertainment did an amazing job with the music during my ceremony and reception. I had an outdoor wedding, indoor cocktail hour and a reception in a tent all in one location. Carlysle did the music for all three and it was awesome. The sound quality and volume were perfect. We were able to use a microphone for the ceremony so everyone could hear our officiant and our vows. Bill Marsh was our DJ and he is a professional. He cares very much about what he does and knows everything about music. I was able to meet with him and give him a feel for what I wanted and he executed it brilliantly. The reception was rockin'. He had everyone up on the dance floor from start to finish. He thinks about his transitions between songs and keeps everyone excited and happy. He also controls the flow of the reception events and checks in with you to make sure everything is running smoothly. I am so happy with Carlysle Entertainment and I would recommend them to anyone who needed a good DJ.

Bill Marsh at Carlysle entertainment is fantastic. He was very helpful in advising me in how weddings should run at our venue and was always responsive when I had questions. The night of he played fantastic music. He mixed our requests in with music beautifully so that the transitions were seamless. He is also just an incredibly nice and fun guy. A pleasure to work with!

I love Bill Marsh. He was easy to get along with and helped me orchestrate the reception to perfection.
I had some wonky ideas and he helped turn them into precious moments because of his years of experience. He helped me get my timeline into a workable state, and even helped me pick out a couple songs. My wedding wouldn't have been as great as it was with out him.
The even gave us a special surprise at the end of our evening, and on our Honeymoon we danced and re-lived the evening all over again and we couldn't have done it without him.

Thanks to my photographer, I got Bill Marsh's name who represents Carlysle Entertainment.

Positives: Extremely easy to talk to, great at brainstorming music selections, very professional, reasonable packages for ceremony and reception coverage, very responsive via email or phone, and most of all, read the crowd so well on the wedding day to get people up and dancing vs. sit back and enjoy the day with a mix of background selections.

Cons: none - really, there weren't any

He was the only DJ I met in person and immediately knew he was the one to book. Since I'm a music lover myself, it was fun to talk to someone who loves music as much as I do. Another major vendor that I never worried about.

Bill rocked! From the minute we met him, we felt comfortable with him and knew that he'd make the reception really fun. We knew going in that he was a little pricier than others we had met, but worth every penny! We had a few out of the ordinary requests, and he got them all! Our intro was timed perfectly - I got goosebumps! And he kept the right music going for cocktails, dinner and dancing such that we all thought it ended too soon! Once again, I'd recommend Bill a thousand times over!

Bill Marsh of Carlysle Entertainment was our disc jockey and also our favorite vendor which is saying a lot considering all of our �day of� wedding vendors were fantastic. There were two vendors we dealt with prior to the wedding that left much to be desired and were completely unprofessional. When this came up in a conversation with Bill he quickly recommended a few new vendors for us to check out and they were incredibly helpful. Aside from the reception music Carlysle Entertainment also provided music and microphones for the ceremony, up-lighting that accented our wedding colors along with some subtle dance lighting, and even a flat screen TV for us to run a special video we had made. Since that was originally only going to be used for the video presentation during cocktail hour Bill also suggested the photographers use it to run a slide show of the pictures they had taken from the ceremony mixed in with some of ours from the past throughout the reception.
My husband and I both have musical backgrounds and love all types of music but we are opposites when it comes to our favorite genres, mine being oldies, classic rock, and country and his being more, big band, jazz, and progressive with our one shared love being anything from the 80?s. Still we knew that we needed to please the masses at our wedding and Bill helped us do just that while still working our own favorites into the mix throughout the reception. He even suggested some really great instrumental covers of contemporary songs that we ended up putting into our song list for the ceremony and cocktail hour.
What made Bill our favorite vendor was his pure professionalism, unflappable demeanor, and constant willingness to take a moment to be of help no matter what the issue, music related or not. We have already recommended him to three friends who will be getting married next year that have already booked him and we look forward to seeing him in action again in a few months at my work holiday party. Overall working with Bill Marsh and Carlysle Entertainment was like working with a friend more than the hired help.

Bill Marsh of Carlysle Entertainment was our first and only choice for a DJ. He was so very accessible and met with us several times before the wedding. We never worried with Bill that something would go wrong. We always had complete confidence that everything would go off without a hitch. We were not disappointed. Our wedding was on New Year's Eve, 2008 and he was there before we were with everything set up and ready to roll with all of our favorite music. We did not want a lot a dance music - and he stuck to exactly what we wanted jazzing it up with his own timing expertise. He was not intrusive on the evening like some DJ's. He said just enough to keep the reception at a great pace without overstepping it and making it into his own show. It was perfect. He was very accomodating from the start. He located all the music - and he always responded quickly to any calls, questions or changes. His price was very reasonable which was important to us. We would highly recommend Bill for any occasion. He seems to be able to accomodate a wide variety of musical interests putting the bride and groom's desires above anything else . . . . He really helped make our evening perfect. He recommended several photographers, but when he found out we were absolutely not going to have a photographer - he brought his camera and took a ton of pictures for us. He was exactly what we wanted. Really really nice guy. So glad we found him !! Jim & Dana

I was a little nervous from our meetings Bill that he would be very talkative during the wedding but he was always appropriate and interacted well with the guests. We chose him because the Evergreen House has 3 rooms and the set-up required some special equipment which he had. We left him a lot of flexibility with the music and he played a great varity that appealed to everyone. He worked with us on our special introduction of our choreographed first dance and at the end of a night had a CD for us of the songs he had played.

Bill of Carlysle Entertainment was highly recommended to my partner and I when we asked friends for DJ recommendations. Our friends said he kept everyone dancing at their wedding, their sister's wedding and their friend's wedding and their guests complimented the music for their receptions.

We were late to plan music and Bill was already committed to another wedding for our date. What was amazing about Bill was that he was totally committed to finding us another DJ that was up to his standards especially because we were friends of previous clients of his. He was SO thoughtful and kept us in mind for weeks until he got a commitment from another 2 DJs that he trusted enough to recommend.

He was professional and went above and beyond and he didn't have to help us at all! If you're lucky enough to secure him for your event, he will not let you down!

We love a good party!

We picked Carlysle Entertainment to DJ our wedding because we saw two of their DJs, Bill & Freddie, at friend's weddings and they both came highly recommended as well. Their reputation is well earned based on our experience and we had a great time planning our wedding reception with some helpful suggestions from Bill whenever we needed anything. My husband and I both love a good party and knew our friends and family would follow our lead. We just had no idea how some diverse tastes in music would work but Bill was able to find ways to keep the dance floor busy playing everything from Big Band to Gaga, Lizzo to ABBA and even DJ Kool to the Backstreet Boys. After so many compliments from friends we think might be getting married soon, I would say we will see Bill and or Freddie again sometime.

Bill Marsh is the owner of Carlysle Entertainment. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Bill--he met with us at least 2-3 times before our wedding (we did have a bit of a long engagement) and never made us feel like we were taking up too much of his time. You can tell he enjoys working with couples and making sure their day goes flawlessly! We only used him for his DJ services, but Bill helps with a number of things, including uplighting and decor. On the day of our wedding, Bill did not take requests from our guests, which we really liked considering we wanted to actually enjoy the music at our wedding--we sent him a huge list of songs we wanted to hear, and I think we heard a good majority of them! (I'm not really sure there was actually time to play them all!) Although meetings can sometimes take a long time, Bill definitely listens to make sure the wedding day goes off without a hitch. He keeps things moving the day of the wedding and checks in every once in a while to make sure the bride and groom are happy. Last comment--our guests LOVED the music--we had a full dance floor the whole night and so many people commenting on the great DJ!

Bill was a DJ at our wedding and then just so happened to be a DJ at my company's holiday party years later. He was a pleasure to work with, very detail orientated, and at both events he did an excellent job making sure the crowd had a great time. I highly recommend him for either event, I loved working with him at both!

Bill Marsh was a very nice guy to work with. He was very helpful in providing suggestions to make the night flow well. He was always available and I chose to use him because he knew a lot about my venue and had impressive equipment. While the majority of the evening was great, there were a few things that I was a little concerned with. First, as my limo pulled up 15 minutes before the ceremony was set to start, Bill had just arrived and was not dressed yet. When it was time to play critical music such our entry to the reception and the music to the garter throw, he was a little late playing it, which left for awkward silences. We also were disappointed when we heard a few songs we didn't like, but missed a lot of the songs we had on our playlist. Overall I would recommend Bill.
