Jim with Eppes Entertainment kept all of our guests on the dance floor the entire night of our wedding! A few weeks prior to our wedding we had a call to discuss our music and timeline; Jim covered every single basis that we didn't even think of and it paid off. Not to mention, all of our guests loved the photobooth! -

Jim Eppes with Eppes Entertainment was wonderful!!!! He was so personable and made the evening extra special. He's extremely talented and really invested in making each event perfect for the couple and their family/guests. Jim really caters his (wedding) DJ'ing to each individual after he gets to know them at a sit-down meeting he has before the wedding weekend.
Also- the photo booth was super fun and I really cherish all of the pages our guests made with the photos that Jim had set up for them to do! Also, after learning of him from my wedding planner, I mentioned him to my dad and he told me that Jim had also done my sister-in-laws brothers wedding, which I had had a ball at, even though I was younger and didn't know anyone. -

Can't say enough good things about Jim Eppes and Eppes Entertainment. The man is a natural who was born to do this for a living. He was so professional and did way more than we could have ever imagined. The music was off the charts! The Photo Booth was amazing! He also helped coordinate the day of the wedding and anything else we needed. He was always available via phone and/or email and always took as much time as was needed to go over anything and everything. My brother met Jim at the wedding and just contacted him to do his wedding in a few months. Look no further than Jim Eppes. From wedding DJ to friend! -

Jim was absolutely great!!!! He was so good playing about every genre there is out there. He made all my Colombian family, as well as my new American family, dance until it was time to go. His photo booth was great and an amazing tool for entertaining everyone at the party. If I have any other big event, Jim will be getting called. He was very professional and truly concerned about making sure the event went perfectly. :) -

I cannot say enough good things about Jim! Used Epees Entertainment for DJ, MC, for the Photo Booth and uplighting. He really took the time to get to know is and figure out what we wanted for our reception, and he nailed it! I was an out-of-town bride so we did planning sessions with Jim vis Skype. He Skyped with us for over two hours playing different kinds of music for us to figure our likes and dislikes and planning and overall feel for the reception. He really paid attention and when it came time for the ceremony the music and vibe were exactly what I wanted. Everyone had a great time and he really kept everyone on the dance floor. The photo booth was also a big hit! Jim is very nice, professional, and easy to work with and I would recommend him to anyone! -

I rented a photo booth for my wedding from Jim and he also provided the reception lighting and monogram for the dance floor. The lighting was beautiful and exactly the color that I was looking for, and the photo booth was a huge hit at the wedding! Our guests loved being able to take as many photos as they liked and we love being able to look at all the photos and reminisce on our special day. I would definitely recommend Eppes Entertainment for any lighting or photo booth needs! -

Jim provided the reception up-lighting and photo booth for my daughter's wedding reception. The lighting was beautiful and the photo booth was a big hit for our guests! Jim is a super nice guy to work with! Delivery & pick up we're right on time. I would definitely recommend Eppes Entertainment! -

Jim made our wedding SPECTACULAR. He had so many great ideas and made us feel so comfortable and special during the planning process. The room had the perfect romantic glow that I had imagined with the help of the up-lighting - Jim got the perfect color and glow that definitely set the mood of the event. At the last minute we decided we wanted a photo booth and it was the best decision we made! It was SO fun and our guests had such a great time! The booth's props were so silly great and the booth's attendant was so nice and patient with everyone. Everything went so smoothly and beautifully. I would recommend Jim Eppes a thousand times over - his services were perfect!! -

Jim Eppes was absolutely one of the best people you could have involved on our wedding day. We used his services for a photobooth rental and the only reason we didn't book him as a DJ is because we already had a friend that was going to DJ. I got too many compliments throughout the night regarding how great he was, from the old to the young, everyone was pleased with their experience with him. He went above and beyond his standard services and even per request of a family member, drove to the nearest gas station which was a bit of a distance to purchase cigars for me (groom) and other family member so that we could celebrate with a smoke. He is well worth the money (he was the least expensive in the area) and the 2 strips of photos that print out are awesome quality and design. 1 set goes home with the picture taker and the other on a black paper where others can leave you written messages in gel ink which are so far hilarious to read after the night. We had a great time and would recommend Jim to anyone. 5* performer. -

To provide some background information, I live in South Florida and work full-time at a hospital. Jim would make himself available at any time to help make my wedding reception plans. I did not have a whole lot of time to invest in wedding planning, but I told Jim what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations!
My friend is a wedding planner and before I started my wedding plans she gave me one valuable piece of advice. She said that there are two things that make a wedding: the food and the entertainment. Jim Eppes is by far the best DJ in Tallahassee for weddings. My sister used a different DJ for her wedding and she admitted that she wished she had used Jim.
Jim is a great DJ because he truly cares about making the entertainment enjoyable for everyone! Jim knew exactly what music to play and the dance floor remained occupied until the venue kicked us out at midnight!
Jim understands that entertainment consists of great music and a matching atmosphere. Jim has an amazing lighting system that he used to heighten the mood in the venue. The venue we used was a bit older, but Jim position the lighting just right so that it diverted the guest’s attention to the more appealing parts of the venue.
The BEST choice we made was having Jim’s photo booth. Trust me, if you invest in a photo booth YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! The people that attended my wedding told me that was a complete hit!!! It is a great gift to the guests, since they get to bring a strip of the photos with them! I cannot push it enough, Jim Eppes is the BEST!

Jim Eppes did a fabulous job at our wedding! He was our DJ and we also used his photobooth. He did such a great job as a DJ. He kept everything going on time and was such a huge help with planning the timeline of our reception. He has a great and fun personality and it definitely showed on our wedding day. We gave him a list of songs we liked and he played a ton of them and also plenty of similar songs that went great with our tastes. We seriously liked every song he played! The dance floor was packed all night long! We also used his photobooth which was a huge hit. It printed out 2 strips of photos and the guests got to keep one and the other went into a scrap book for us (the final product was hilarious). I would definitely recommend the photobooth for any wedding…we received so many compliments on it (he brings props for it too). Overall, we could not be happier with Jim as our DJ and his photobooth. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone! -

Jim was, easily, the best value vendor at our wedding. He was our favorite vendor and our cheapest. I can't say enough about how great he was to work with. He took time to talk to us over the phone several times before the big day and, by the time the wedding came around, we had no doubt he would come through for us. He even got on the dance floor to show us how to do the chicken dance (because apparently our friends and family were confused). A+++ -

Don't hire Jim Eppes - unprofessional
NEVER HIRE! If is is possible to give less than one star we would. Jim Eppes was the DJ at my daughters wedding last weekend and his level of professionalism was unbelievable and completely unacceptable. This man was angry, rude, mean, and we 100% regret ever contracting with him. Please DO NOT use this man for your wedding. The best example I can share about this man begins when he arrived at the wedding. He had no help or assistants with him to unload all of his equipment so we assigned several of our family members to help him. One of the very first comments he made to my brother-in-law as he was helping him unload was "Man, I absolutely HATE fu*%@ng weddings! This job is the worst and I hate doing these!" Needless to say, his attitude only got worse as the wedding went on. Anytime someone would even try to request a song or ask for the microphone to make a toast they were told NO and when they persisted he would actually THROW the microphone at them in a very irate manner. Not sure why he is in the wedding business. He is so full of anger that his negative energy should not be present at a celebration as special as a wedding. -

Do NOT Hire Jim Eppes with Eppes Entertainment!
Let's just say that we didn't even make it to our wedding day with Jim because we FIRED him four months out due to his complete and total unprofessionalism.
My wedding planner and I caught him name calling and talking poorly about me, as a bride, in an email to another vendor that he, himself, forwarded to me and my planner. Let me also say that the reasoning behind this was because I asked if he could change the color of a photo booth template... that he previously told me -- both on the phone and via email -- was a "very easy thing to do."
After our planner reached out to him to let him know -- and also suggest he reach out and apologize to me (because yes, he couldn't have done that on his own) -- I kindly let him know that I appreciated the apology but was hesitant to move forward with working with him and having him DJ our big day due to the unfortunate situation (I mean, honestly, what bride/groom would?).
Instead of sucking up what he had done and being understanding about the situation, Jim got snarky in his response back to me and even refused to refund us the $495 down payment we had already provided him with... And we haven't heard from him since.
So long story short, DO. NOT. HIRE. HIM. -

An Absolute Disappointment and Mess
Jim Eppes failed to complete the contracted items stipulated in the contract for the wedding on February 17, 2019 in FL. He started to drop off his photo booth equipment, which did not work, at 2:15pm (for a 4:30 wedding) and told the event coordinator he had to leave to go get a cord. He never set up the uplighting or the sound system for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. The coordinator gave him the address for Home Depot and Loews. We had many people who called multiple times and he did not answer your phone. Two hours passed with no word from him. We had no sound system for our wedding ceremony, we had no music for our cocktail hour. We had to delay our reception as we scrambled to find a replacement DJ. We had to begin our entrances and speeches with no music until our replacement DJ showed up. We had to then rush our speeches, first dances, and food service. Our coordinator was dealing with your absence and missed organizing our family portraits. Jim showed up at our reception at 9:30pm and appeared to be disoriented and under the influence. He tried to further ruin my wedding and attempt to break down his broken photo book equipment in the middle of my wedding reception. When he later showed up and my father realized that he were supposed to be our DJ, he informed me that he saw Jim at the bar before our ceremony. Later guests informed me that he was stumbling and mumbling around cocktail hour.
We not only lost out on all of these services, we also offered and reserved a hotel room for him for the night of the wedding at our expense.
We did eventually receive our deposit back but with no explanation or apology.
No bride and groom should ever have to go through this ever again. -
