I will definitely keep CAE in mind for any other events needed and will highly recommend them to anyone needing a DJ! Thank y’all so much for all your help!

    Wedding Planning

    Joe was wonderful to work with on wedding reception details. Our family faced a crisis before the wedding, and he handled it with grace and professionalism. He was always prompt to return calls and worked with us on everything. Thank you, Joe, for working with our family. We will use this service again and recommend it to others!

    The Best!!

    We had such a great experience with hiring Central Arkansas Entertainment! We used their DJ (DJ Tee Rose!!), lighting, signature light, and photo booth! We were beyond happy with everything and it was so great dealing with Joe. He was professional, polite, responsive, and helped us the whole way. Walking into the reception was amazing and it looked exactly the way I imagined! So so happy!!!

    Best Wedding DJ Service

    We had DJ Jellybean and he was fantastic!! He did our ceremony music as well as the reception! We were able to pick our music online prior to the wedding and it made for a smooth wedding day! He kept the party going, interacted with the guests, and made the day so fun!! Highly recommend DJ Jellybean and CAE!! They have so much to offer for great prices!!

    My husband and I discovered DJ Mario Luna at my cousin’s wedding in Little Rock.. and we knew he was unlike any other DJ in Memphis and had to have him at our Memphis wedding! He is super fun, has so much energy, and was good at getting our guests up on their feel all night!!
    We communicated back and forth with Joe Snell, who was super helpful and emailed back right away, and we booked DJ Mario Luna for our wedding.

    We had DJ Mario Luna and he was great! Did a perfect job of getting people out on the dance floor and alerting them that fun things were happening (cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss, etc.). Loved that we could choose our songs and get everything done online prior to the wedding (even choose songs we didn't want to play). DJ Luna texted me about a week before the wedding and set up a time he could call me so we could go over everything and he could get a feel for what we were wanting. It was great and everything went off without a hitch. Highly recommend them!

    Greg was our DJ for the wedding, and he went out and beyond to help us in everything. The webpage that Joseph Snell provided for us was so specific that it was very easy to make a list of all the music we wanted. Our day was so special due to the wonderful music we had and the time that was certain to play when it needed it.

    Central AR Entertainment made planning all of the music for both our ceremony and reception so easy. The online forms and questions really helped us lay out the perfect wedding. And then DJ Bear called us and talked to us for an hour to make sure we had the whole even laid out and timed. We are still getting rave reviews from our friends and family... DJ BEAR IS AMAZING!

    We used CAE for our DJ and uplighting. Our DJ was Mario Luna, and we absolutely loved him!! We was very interactive with the guests (as we requested), and he got everyone involved! Even those who were reluctant at first :) I had so much fun at my reception because of him! We also had amber colored uplighting and a signature light. I highly recommend both of these things. I think they MADE the reception look much higher quality than it was. We were in a gym that was draped with thin white curtains...but with the lights on them, it completely transformed the space. Excellent job guys!!

    We used DJ Mario Luna- he has great style and was very friendly and well liked by all of our guests. He did an amazing job at our reception and kept the part going all night! He did an amazing job of adding personal touches like an anniversary dance, which everyone really enjoyed

    We were so extremely pleased with CAE and DJ Mario Luna. This is the third wedding he has done in our family in the past 3 years and each one has been fantastic! He keeps the audience engaged and on their feet dancing. DJ Mario was so much fun to work with as our DJ. Joe Snell was wonderful working with as well since this is who we went through to set everything up. These people are awesome and highly recommended! The best!

    Originally we had not planned on having a DJ but after meeting DJ Turner at the bridal fair, we booked him for our daughter's wedding and he was fantastic! The music was great and he made all the difference in transforming our reception from ho-hum to a lot of fun. He kept things moving so our guests were engaged and entertained. Several of our guests complimented us on what a good job DJ Turner did and told us how much they enjoyed the reception. I highly recommend DJ Turner and Central Arkansas Entertainment. They were easy to work with and always responsive to any questions we had. Book DJ Turner for your wedding - he is great!

    I had always heard CAE was the best, but assumed they would be way out of my budget. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were very reasonably priced, especially considering they are amazing! Joe set my lighting up, and DJ Corey performed at my ceremony and reception. They were wonderful! I had spoken to Joe several times prior and he was so helpful in getting everything set up. They are considered the best for a reason! Loved them!

    Lantz was AMAZING! He met with me before the wedding to see what my personality was like and did a fantastic job at keeping the guests motivated and happy! He was very interactive, but not to the point of being pushy. Can't wait to have another party and have him be involved!

    We had Lance as out DJ for the wedding, and he was great working with! He called a few days before the wedding and spent about 30-45 minutes getting to know what we were wanting, likes/dislike, and even had some wonderful suggestions that made everything fall right in place. At the wedding, he did an excellent job announcing, as well as keeping the guests in a festive mood, and out on the dance floor. Excellent job!

    Central Arkansas Entertainment is the best DJ in the area! Joe was very helpful and awesome to work with. Our DJ, Mark, the day of the rehearsal, he showed up at the venue where the ceremony was being held to test out the sound system since he had never done a wedding there. He came on his own accord, and was amazing! I am thankful he came the day of the rehearsal! The reception was amazing and everyone had a blast! Mark knew how to keep the party going! Our uplighting and textured lighting was amazing as well! Thanks Central Arkansas Entertainment!

    Joe Snell did both our ceremony music and DJ for our reception. He is an amazing violinist and fun DJ! He gets people on the dance floor and keeps them there till the end. He will play anything you request or come up with a list if you can not.

    Our DJ was wonderful. He took our playlist we had created with their interactive website and kept a great balance of slow to fast, new to old, and the ever popular line dance songs. No one ever got bored with the music and we constantly had people on the dance floor. He made sure we were happy with everything and even double checked with us through the night about certain things. We could not have been more happy with our DJ!

    Loved everything about our DJ. Without him our reception would not have been nearly as fun!! I loved their online tools. Would definately recommend.

    They were great. They pay attention to what you ask for and they do their best to keep the crowd involved. Just be sure you complete the onlinr form in plenty of time

    Joe Snell and his Central Arkansas Entertainment group are awesome! He can do it all! We used his services for draping, for the music for the wedding ceremony and a DJ for the reception. He made planning the wedding so easy. He told me on the front end that they would take care of everything and he did. Our DJ, "Bear" was so much fun and we couldn't have asked for a better party. I can't remember the last time I was at a party and the dance floor was still packed when they played the last dance! Even the bartenders and photographers were dancing while doing their jobs. Beautiful wedding and a party that nobody wanted to end!

    Their service was great, I'm not real good with choosing music but when I gave him ideas on the kind of music we liked he knew exactly what to play. It set the perfect mood for the event!

    My DJ was DJ Hollywood, and he was incredibly fantastic, my coordinator actually even was not doing her job in a lot of areas and he stepped up and kept things going like they should! He got everyone dancing and I did an Anniversary Dance (dance for longest married couple) for my bouquet instead of bouquet toss and he did awesome! I was a very cool thing, and we had the most awesome lighting!! It made all of our pictures really beautiful! We also got the photobooth, get the photobooth, it was completely worth the money and everyone loved loved it!! and me and my husband had a blast looking through all the photos! Even my parents and grandparents got some seriously goofy shots! These guys were beyond fantastic, love them!

    Joe Snell is AWESOME. I definitely procrastinated figuring out our reception music and Joe was so wonderful about it! He custom mixed our first dance song perfectly - he took it from over 4 minutes to about a minute and a half. And this was two days before our wedding! We had a klezmer band for the first part of the reception and Joe coordinated everything so well. And did we party! Joe played great songs and had everyone dancing!

    I was more than pleased with CAE. Joe is so awesome on so many levels. He gets to know his brides really well before providing services for them and his website is great. His website has everything you need to plan a perfect reception with the best DJ in town. A huge rain storm showed up during our outside wedding and knocked out the power. Instead of Joe packing up and leaving, he stayed around until all the guest left to make sure the electricity wasnt going to come back on. He did announcements for us and was all around perfect. Although the only songs I got to hear from him were our first dance songs he was still perfect and I was beyond pleased with him.

    Joe helped me find the BEST violinist in Bill Thurman. He worked with everything that I wanted and played beautifully. Joe also helped me find fabulous lighting for my reception. One stop shopping here. Very nice and helpful and helped work with my budget.

The preparation was really easy they have everything on their website and they were really good about returning messages and answering any questions. Can't go wrong with this company, they are pros.

    DJ Jelly Bean from Central Arkansas Entertainment did my wedding reception and it was great! He kept the crowd moving and the reception flowing. He is so much fun to be around. I would recommend him if you want a fun wedding reception. CAE has online tools that allows you to pick the type of music you want and exactly how you want your reception to go. Whether you go that way or just leave it in their hands, you are sure to have an awesome experience!

    I worked with Central Arkansas Entertainment for my August wedding. DJ Mario was our DJ. He was exactly what we wanted - very enthusiastic and great at getting the crowd involved (not too pushy but still suggestive enough to get people up and dancing). He called me a week before the wedding and we discussed what I hoped to see happen at our reception, my feel on the crowd we would have, and just the whole schematic of the reception (timing, music for certain things like cake cutting and first dance, etc.) He did a great job in picking music to play along with what I asked for, reading the crowd, and adjusting the feeling of the music based on what was happening at the reception. Central Arkansas Entertainment is run by Joe Snell. I met with him once to deliver my last payment. He was very nice and seemed genuinely interested in my upcoming wedding. The only negative I found with Central Arkansas Entertainment was their location. Luckily I didn't follow the map found on Google because it wasn't correct. I called and got directions. Their store was in a line of industrial buildings a little out of the way. It just wasn't what I expected.

    Booking my DJ through CAE was a great experience. You get to chose the music you love, like and hate so they are able to chose a DJ that best suits your taste and preferences. I used CAE for my DJ, uplighting and photobooth- I highly recommend booking them for all of these things! They are great to work with and do a great job!

    They did a great job on my big day and looked/acted very professionally. But, my crowd wasn't dancing much and I would have preferred the DJ to try a little harder to on getting folks going. The owner Joe is amazing to work with and so friendly! Would still definitely recommend to anyone getting married in AR.

    Overall, CAE did a great job. It took a little while for the reception to really get going - probably as a result of me speaking with a different DJ than was actually there on our wedding day. Once the party got started it was AWESOME, but it was a rough beginning since the DJ wasn't completely up to date on the schedule for the event.

    We had Lantz at the Hot Springs Country Club with the up lighting. We found CAE at the bridal show in little rock and so glad we went with them for our reception. Lantz can read a crowd and knows what needs to happen to get your guests involved, very professional with their organization before the day of. Lantz defiantly made our reception better and everyone had a blast. We couldn't be happier with our decision.

    Central AR Entertainment was recommended to me by my caterer. They said they were the best and wouldn't want anyone else providing entertainment for their Wedding.

    All in all they were pretty great. I told them what I wanted, sent requests online, made my time line online, and added other needed info all online. It was very easy and convenient.

    There were times I did get a bit frustrated leading up to the wedding. I sent emails asking questions/called them for help. I would never receive a call or email back for weeks. I am not sure if they were just really busy or forgetful. At times I got really upset and stressed trying to plan my wedding and not sure what was going on. I was in need of a guitarist for my ceremony and they had not called me back in a month. After they finally got back with me my guitarist was booked, my requested songs noted, and I couldn't have been happier with the guitarist. He was amazing, did a great job!

    The Dj was great. He got people up and dancing. He was fun/relaxed. Though some of the downloads messed up- it was a great wedding. Everyone had fun and enjoyed their time.

    My reviews of this company are mixed. I used them to book Jarboe string quartet for my ceremony. Jarboe was 5+ stars. Beautiful music and learned a song I requested the week before my wedding.
    My DJ arrived on time, and his equipment was very professional. However, he was not. I expected so much more from this company in that regard. I created my list of everything I wanted as far as special songs online and he still called me several times to ask what I wanted for my first dance. He left several times to go smoke (I assume, he just left) during my short 2 hour reception. When paying as much as I did for these services, I had very high expectations and hopes for my DJ and was left disappointed. At the end of the day, it was still great quality of music and we had a lot of fun.

    Central Arkansas Entertainment has such a great reputation, and maybe it's true if you get DJ Hollywood, but we had some issues with DJ Breeze. He did our ceremony music perfectly, however he mispronounced the bride's first name and our married last name multiple times even after being told how to say them by the groom and the bride's brother in law. I found that very offensive, he should have made sure he knew how to say our name's before he say them publicly. He also played songs not on our list, and didn't play a lot of songs that were on our list. Even though we had a timed schedule through the website, we had to constantly tell him to announce cake cutting/garter toss/etc. He was well-dressed and nice, but definitely did not do what we asked. Also, the week of the event he was supposed to contact us, he did call us once and was busy when we called him back. He told us he'd call at a specific time and didn't, I called him and spoke to him and told him to then call my fiance, he agreed, but never actually called him.
