CJ did a spectacular job as our DJ/Emcee on our wedding day at Brant Beach Yacht Club this May! His personality helped light up the dance floor and kept everyone moving. He read the crowd well and played all the music we love and even more. Our guests couldn’t stop dancing the entire night! In addition to his DJ services, he also provided our ceremony AV and a photobooth. His photobooth services even included a guest book to preserve our memories and digitized versions of the pictures. We appreciate his attentiveness both throughout the planning process and on our big day. We highly recommend hiring CJ for your big day. Thanks CJ! -

Anthony Sent on 03/31/2025Excellent vendor !
My husband and I just had our wedding this past weekend at a venue in freehold called 618. His team truly went above and beyond to make our experience there such a special day. Truly effortless to deal with in terms of communication and punctuality. Would 10/10 recommend him to all my friends and family. Can’t wait for my next event to have CJ and the team again! -

Working with CJ and his team was easy and convent from start to finish. Our DJ Mark was great and handled every twist and turn I could throw at him with ease. The portal they use makes selecting and adding songs so easy compared to other DJs I've used in he past. CWE is now our Go To team for DJing and lighting. Thanks again CJ and Mark! -

Alexis Sent on 11/14/2024Hire dj cj!
We danced from the moment we got into the reception until they kicked us out! Did I totally micromanage the music for every minute of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception? Of course! But CJ rolled with it and made everything I wanted happen. From our initial phone call, CJ made me feel like we were a team. He was responsive to my many questions throughout the year leading up to the wedding and helped me with a few decisions as well as doing a great job with ceremony music in tough conditions on the beach. I really valued knowing that he was not just the owner but also the person who would be at my wedding and that he understood my vision--he wanted me to be happy but was also upfront about things that may not work. As an added bonus, he took a ton of pictures and was the only one who captured our vows on video! I would absolutely recommend this company for any event! -

Mary Sent on 07/12/2024Charles Westcott Entertainment was awesome!
Charles Westcott Entertainment was fantastic at our recent family event! CJ kept the energy high all night, playing a great mix of music that everyone enjoyed. CJ was also very professional and accommodating, taking requests and keeping the flow of the event moving smoothly.
Also, Eric did an amazing job with the Photo Booth. He kept everyone engaged and best of all, we have a Photo Book to remember the event for years to come.
We would highly recommend Charles Westcott Entertainment for any event! -

Michael Sent on 11/10/2022Incredible!
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. -

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. -

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! -

Cara Sent on 04/07/2022CWE 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. -

Stephanie Sent on 11/16/2020Down-to-Earth and Down-to-Party
We cannot say enough great things about CJ and Eric over at CWE! CJ handled our Ceremony and Reception music for our December 2019 wedding at Bear Brook Valley. From our first call with CJ (that lasted nearly an hour), we knew he was the match for us! On that initial call, we were so impressed with how he spoke to both my now-husband and myself, not just me/the bride, which many vendors tended to do. CJ always treated us like family--very responsive to our texts and emails, as well as being generous with his 20+ years knowledge for weddings, even beyond music. We knew we had a mix of styles and music preferences amongst our guests and CJ so masterfully read the room and kept the dance floor packed without ever upstaging the event or stealing the spotlight. He paid great attention to the little details of our story as a couple, and incorporated those elements into his comments throughout the night. It made the whole day feel personal to us. If you've made it this far and still aren't sure, I'm not sure what you're waiting for. You won't beat his prices, his professionalism, or his passion. -

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. -

CJ was incredible from the start. He was very responsive, and extremely accommodating. He made us feel at ease with his enthusiasm and positivity for our wedding, especially during the pandemic. The night of, he was great. His introductions were perfect, and he had everyone on the dance floor all night long! We want to throw another party, just to have CJ be the DJ again. If you and your guests want to have a great time, definitely hire CJ! -

Natalie Sent on 09/08/2020Best 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!!!!! -

CJ and his team are hands down the best people in the biz. Not only did he handle everything, he let me be stress free and not worry about a single thing! The music choices were perfect for our crowd and we couldn’t even keep the dance floor clear! They got the party started before they even introduced the wedding parties! We are so thrilled with our choice of choosing CWE and would highly recommend CJ and his crew a million times over!!! Thank you for a fantastic wedding -

My husband and I cannot thank CJ and his partner enough for their outstanding job. Our guests complimented them all night and raved about the music played. CJ was one of my favorite vendors! He is easy-going, responded to emails within the day, and never once made planning stressful. I'll be honest, finding a DJ was one of my least favorite parts of planning. I must have contacted 6-8 different companies, that were all overbearing, and didn't really understand that we did not want the standard playlists of today. Then I found CJ, and knew he was the perfect match for us! He listened, made it about us, and delivered on the perfect rock-n-roll wedding playlist! He even managed to sneak in a little traditional Italian music section (for our crazy families) and made them work seamlessly with our wishlist selections. Hire them today, you won't be disappointed! Thank you again, CJ! -

CJ was great to work with in planning our wedding for this past September. He was always understanding and helpful and made everything feel easy. He definitely helped calm my nerves. The week of our wedding he had a family emergency but made sure that I connected with his backup, Jason, prior so that we were on the same page. Jason ended up being our DJ for day of and was amazing. I got so many complements about him and the music and everyone had a great time. Overall I was very happy with both CJ and Jason and am happy we booked them for our wedding! -

Samantha Sent on 09/25/2019Amazing! 100% Recommend
My husband and I got married in July 2019 and CJ and his team were our DJs. They were absolutely amazing! I was on the dance team in college, so I knew that music and dancing would be a huge part of our wedding! Planning the wedding was very stressful (as I’m sure all of you know), so I really wanted a DJ who would take control and would not need a lot of guidance from me. CJ and his team were wonderful and made my life so easy! They kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! People raved about how much they loved the music! I know that looking for DJs and other wedding vendors is difficult because there are so many options. I would 100% recommend using CJ and his team. I guarantee that you will love them just as much as we did! -

Karryne Sent on 07/21/2019An A+ from College Radio Majors
We were thrilled to have CWE run our wedding reception night! From the time we first met CJ, we knew he was the right guy for us! He was super friendly, really trying to get to know us, and asked a lot of questions about the music we liked and didn't like. My husband, who formerly worked in radio and as a DJ, was very impressed when CJ said he didn't need generic dance party songs to get people on the dance floor, and boy was he right! Everyone from our three-year-old niece to relatives in their 70s was on the dance floor a majority of the night. CJ and James can entertain a crowd of any age! CJ made scheduling a breeze and checked in all through the planning process to make sure we had everything set. One of the things that I like about this company was their website. It has an online portal, all you need for the event already in there, including a wedding checklist and timeline, and all you need to do is just a few clicks away and everything will be set for the event. CJ and James made our night perfect. Nothing was left to chance; the music, lighting, and personalized projection were all premium standard. On the wedding night, there was such a great flow of MC'd events throughout the evening, with no awkward downtime or waiting around. They seamlessly navigated the events of our night, providing high-quality music and sound quality, everything we could possibly hope for. Their incredible level of experience, amazing attitude, witty remarks, and hilarious ideas helped us and our guests feel welcome and kept the energy high all through the night. The best part may just be how flexible and accommodating on the spot they are. One of our good friends, who my husband worked with at their college radio station, told CJ that Juicy was his signature radio song and that he promised that once we got married, he and my husband were going to perform at our wedding. CJ said not a problem!, handed over both the mics within seconds, and they did their thing! I don't think even the groom knew he could get up in front of a room of all our friends and family and rap like that! Truly, if I could rate them 6/5, we would. We are incredibly grateful for all CJ and James did to make our wedding PERFECT. -

CWE is the “IT” for DJ services.
CJ and James were totally on point, and complete professionals from the first contact to the various emails and phone calls leading up to the big day. The one on one meeting to fine to the Wedding was flawless and easy going. No stress. Loved it James and CJ kept me at ease.
The duo is a very talented MC and DJ team who are in complete sync with one another. The music was perfect my selected songs were played and the guys read the crowd with precision. The floor stayed occupied and hopping all night long. CWE kept the crowd engaged. The dancing continued in the foyer and between the tables. One of the highlight was when James got me (the bride) to dance on the speaker. I appreciate the gentlemen working in an Irish Dance routine my Matron of Honor and her “Entourage” choreographed. The CWE team didn't miss a beat.
We will definitely be utilizing these guys in the up coming future for Confirmation and Sweet Sixteen.
Very happy ecstatic bride
The absolute best.

CJ was so amazing at our wedding this past weekend! My Husband and I couldn’t be happier with our choice! I literally have no complaints! From the moment we met him over a year ago I knew he would make the perfect DJ. His energy level is just perfect and he is here to make your day amazing. You can tell just by the way he talks to you and treats you that all he wants to do is making your day perfect. Anything I needed, he was there in a blink of an eye whether it was on my wedding day, a few days before it, or months before it. I’ll give you an example of how great he was. The song I walked down the aisle to is a song I heard about 3 years ago, randomly while watching a tv show. As soon as I heard it I knew that one-day I would walk down the aisle to it. (I was already dating my husband at the time so I was able to picture it so clearly.) A few weeks before the wedding I spoke to CJ about it. I wanted to know how long the song would play for while I was walking down the aisle. He told me about 30 seconds worth or so. I was disappointed because there was a lot more of the song I wanted everyone to hear, not to mention this song was a secret to my husband. I wanted to have him hear it the first time on our wedding day. So CJ told me not to worry about it, we will figure it out. Two days before the wedding I had an idea so I emailed him. I said how about we start the song when my ring bearer walks in, that gives us about 30 seconds right there. (I gave him the seconds I was looking for) then I said, how about the doors open for me and you play this other 30 second piece while I just stand there. Dramatic I know. And then, play this last 30 second piece while I walked down the aisle. “What do you think?” I’m not kidding within 7 mins he emails me back telling me that he just listened to the whole song, he loves it and I quote “LETS DO IT!” I couldn’t be more excited!! On the day of my wedding he spoke to my venue to make sure they knew what was going on. My walk down the aisle was perfect!! CJ was so great to work with for every aspect of my wedding, even the day of one of my girls ran over to him to tell him the song I finally picked for our reception entrances and he said “You got it girl!” We love CJ so much!! Every one of my guests told me how great he was as well! Can’t wait for when I do another big party so I can hire him again! If you are researching DJ, stop looking, you already found your perfect one! (And this is from a girl who researched the S*** out of her vendors)
