    Best DJ out there!!

    CJ and his team were amazing at our wedding! We hired them for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as a sax player and photo booth. They were incredible and kept the party going all night! He was super responsive, kind and professional. Highly recommend!!!

    Went above and beyond!!

    CJ was the best DJ we could’ve asked for. My husband and I are both professional musicians, so music was one of the most important things for our wedding. We were able to work with CJ to fully customize every single aspect of our wedding and he delivered above and beyond our expectations, plus he was the nicest, most personable, easiest, and most professional person to work with. We had the best time at our wedding thanks to CJ!

    Charles Westcott Entertainment was amazing!

    For a while, we were struggling to find a DJ for our wedding. A friend recommended CJ to us and it ended up being a great decision. CJ is kind and professional, and he made sure our reception was filled with great music. CJ made the process of choosing music streamlined and easy. His music made our ceremony beautiful and made the reception very fun! Charles Westcott Entertainment went above and beyond for us.

    CJ the DJ is amazing

    We made the BEST choice in hiring CJ for our wedding. We got a couple of messages from friends after the wedding that sum things up well: “We had SO much fun. Your DJ was phenomenal” and “Thank god you guys are only getting married once. We are so sore from dancing.”

    More specifically, CJ is so amazing because:
    1. He’s got great style but also adjusts to what you want. Where we had specific things that were important to us (like not having too much of a “hype man” vibe), he did exactly as we asked. But where we weren’t sure, we could defer to him and he still killed it.
    2. He does a fantastic job of mixing genres so that everything feels smooth and you keep people on the dance floor.
    3. He’s a super nice guy, very responsive, and has an efficient / effective way of prepping for a wedding.

    We also got the photo booth through CJ, and we are so glad we did! The setup was great and people had so much fun taking pictures. Selfishly, I love it because we used that as our guestbook - so everyone took a photo booth picture and then signed their names. We had so much fun looking through that the next day.

    Amazing!!!

    CJ was incredible for our wedding! Not only was he an excellent DJ but he’s also super attentive and willing to customize every detail of the night exactly how you want. He took the time to meet with us several times beforehand and his website allows you to pick exactly what you want. He made the day flawless and kept everyone dancing the entire night. Would highly recommend!

    Incredible!

    Really nice guy to work with. He listens to your requests and the party starts right away! His pricing was fair and included a lot for your money. The portal to add or deny songs was cool and he made sure you have every song/detail in order before anything begins. Incredible experience and I will be recommending to all of our friends.

    Charles Westcott Entertainment's reply:

    Dude - thank YOU both so much for this review, it really means the world to me!!! Equally, you both were a dream to work with and I hope to see you again at another friends wedding lol -cj

    So good the dance floor was destroyed

    CJ was AMAZING!!! He was so responsive and quick to answer everything and listened to our needs in regards to music. Day of, I couldn't have asked for more. Our ENTIRE guest list was on the dance floor the entire night because the music was simply too good to get off!! I couldn't have booked a better DJ and he far exceeded my expectations. As the title of this review said, it was so good our dancefloor the next day was literally torn up. Thank you!!

    Charles Westcott Entertainment's reply:

    You guys were such a dream to work with and I'm so happy you choose us to be such a big part of your wedding!!! Keep on rocking and I wish you so well in the future!! -cj

    Great Time!

    CJ Westcott and his team were great. We hired him for our wedding and the celebration was fantastic with non stop music and keeping the guests engaged. We were able to cater our style of music moving from cocktail hour into the reception and he was able to freestyle as well.

    Charles Westcott Entertainment's reply:

    This is amazing, thank you so much Judy - I appreciate you guys! Love ON and I wish you both nothing but the best in the future!

    They are amazing!

    Absolutely incredible, not one bad thing to say. We couldn't have been happier!! They had everyone on the dance floor the whole night, played the perfect playlist, and were very entertaining. Organized beyond belief, and executed exactly what we wanted, and to top it off they hung our lights and the extra uplighting made the room. Thank you again, wouldn't use or recommend anyone else!

    CWE is the best in the business!

    CJ was professional and such a joy to work with for my "less than traditional" wedding. He provided the music for the ceremony, and the evening. He was prompt to respond to my requests and was able to adjust and modify throughout the process. My wedding planner enjoyed working with him, and appreciated how responsive he was and easily accessible through email/text. My husband enjoyed the initial meeting with CJ so much that we actually planned our wedding date around his availability. I would recommend CJ for all your DJ needs, and I would recommend him even more for specialized, "less than average" events.

    Highly Recommended!!!

    Charles Westcott Entertainment went above and beyond to make our day special. Eric made our guests feel welcomed while using the photo booth and supplied plenty of copies of photos to the guests and couple. The uplighting also enhanced the room and livened up the party. CJ was very professional to work with and always responded timely. Would highly recommend this vendor and plan on using them again.

    Charles Westcott Entertainment's reply:

    This is awesome, thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad you liked everything! I will pass off the kudos to Eric and yes, anything you need in the future, you know where to find us! -cj

    Amazing, fun, exciting

    He is absolutely amazing and gave my husband and I the best wedding experience possible. He was easy going, funny, fun, and made the entire experience stress free! Not only that but I recently reached out needing help with a wedding song I had but couldn't remember and he found it for me within minutes! What a guy! Highly recommend! Affordable and amazing! You wont regret it!

    Highly recommend

    Oh boy- this is going to be a long post. First off, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! There’s not enough words to express how much we adore CJ! He was a HUGE part in making our day spectacular. My now husband and I were referred to CJ by our best friends who had him dj their wedding 10 years ago. His upbeat vibe and communication is what stuck with them over the years. When we contacted CJ he was very quick in response and was exactly what our friends said. He was so easy to work with and was extremely responsive.He had SUCH an upbeat vibe about him even just talking on the phone. On the day of our wedding I had not met CJ in person yet, and I still remember standing in our introduction line to go out to our reception and right when I heard his voice, I spotted him instantly. Even just his voice got us pumped up through our phone calls leading up to our wedding. We had such a wonderful time at our wedding and our guests absolutely loved the music. We felt as though CJ was not one of our vendors, but instead a friend attending our wedding. CJ and his crew kept everything professional from the beginning. We can’t thank CJ enough for making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives!

    Amazing from very beginning to end!

    CJ was the absolute best DJ we could have asked for! From the minute we were in touch with him to the moment we walked out of our wedding CJ was available and willing to make sure this was the best day of our lives. It was easy giving him control of the music because he took the time to listen to all our worries and concerns and made sure we were getting exactly what we asked for. Even the moments before the wedding he was checking to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it! It was also amazing that there was not a minute our dance floor was empty! If you want a stress-free and fun wedding I would HIGHLY recommend CJ for your event!

    Our wedding was so fun!!!

    CJ was an amazing DJ for my wedding July 2021. He was extremely flexible when I needed to postpone my original date. The website he uses for us to request music and organize our ceremony/reception information is thorough and easy to use. Was able to capture everything I wanted into our wedding. He got us all dancing and we didn't stop!! I love that he used my requested music and also felt out our group to choose other songs that everyone could sing and jam out to. Highly recommend!!

    June 2021 Wedding

    Charles Westcott Entertainment is AMAZING. They had ALL of my guests (young and old & even during covid) up and dancing within minutes of the start of our reception all the way through till the end. We even had guests dancing during dinner, it was amazing. I realized the next day that I myself (the bride) and my husband NEVER left the dance floor other than to eat. I missed out on taking individual pictures with friends and family, but I think they forgot as well since they were ALL on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. CJ and Jairok were amazing, high energy and played amazing songs all night (they also didn't play my NO PLAY songs) which was amazing since I REALLY didn't want to hear them. I also used their photo booth service which my guests LOVED! If you are looking for an amazing DJ experience for your wedding then Charles Westcott Entertainment is the way to go! I will totally be using them for other events down the road.

    Fun and energetic

    CJ was a dream to work with. He was ultra responsive and professional. He kept the party going and had everyone in the room moving. He made our wedding night better than we could have imagined. I would recommend CJs company to everyone as well as use him again for any party’s we have in the future.

    Top Notch Entertainment

    Whats the goal of a DJ, to keep party going all night, I did not exit dance floor once. I told CJ what I wanted and did not. He kept the music constant, kept the energy room going from start to finish.
    We also had a photo booth added through his services and never was it empty. His whole crew was great and great personalities. Moment I got engaged I knew I had to contact him for my big day.
    What are the two things people speak about after a wedding besides the couple..food and music and I head nothing but good things from everyone.

    Couldnt Stop Dancing!

    We were so pleased with CJ! My husband and I, as well as our guests couldn't stay of the dance floor! He played all the songs we requested. He always got back to us in a timely matter and throughout the night we were checked in on to see how it was going! We can't say enough good things about CJ!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I'm so happy with the service. Through cancellations and rescheduling due to covid Charles made sure I was taken care of each new date. As soon as he started playing music for my ceremony I cried of pure joy because it was finally happening. This DJ was amazing at communicating and priced great. Everyone had a blast! His website allows you to customize your requests. He made my day absolutely special.

    The best DJ!

    I highly recommend Charles Wescott Entertainment for your wedding! CJ is so communicative, friendly, and so fun! Everything from the music to the lights on our wedding day were perfect!!
    This is not the first time my family has hired CJ for a wedding, and both times he did not disappoint! He knows how to get your guests on the dance floor and he is so funny! He made the planning process super easy with his website, and was even able to accommodate a last minute change for the ceremony. Thank you CJ!!!

    Best DJ ever!!!

    Booking CJ for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Friends of ours booked him for their own wedding and RAVED about their experience – they could not say enough great things about him, and we will recommend him to everyone too! Because of COVID-19 we made what felt like DOZENS of changes (changed our date multiple times, changed our venue multiple times, changed our package multiple times, changing from a big indoor wedding to a small outdoor tented wedding) and he was beyond accommodating, patient, flexible, HILARIOUS, and helpful every step of the way. Communicating with him during this crazy time was easy and he was always so great in getting back to us quickly, especially in the week before our wedding. He made the best recommendations and helped us plan our whole day out. The day of was absolutely perfect. We put together pretty specific playlists that we wanted played and CJ crushed it! If you book him you will literally be in the best hands and not have to worry about a single thing. Thank you CJ!!!!!
