    Okay everyone... Event Team Entertainment is literally the best you'll find. I'm trying my best to stay composed and appear neutral but THEY SERIOUSLY ROCK. I know it is sort of the new thing to save money, play an ipod and not hire a dj. We couldn't disagree with this more. Hiring Event Team Entertainment was one of the BEST decisions we made. And they aren't even that pricey! I would have paid twice the amount to get that service. Here is why we love them:

    Thanks to Event Team Entertainment and especially the work of Shawn Whittemore, our wedding day was perfect. As with any bride, I had anticipated this event for so long and was beginning to get nervous that things were not going to turn out well. Ultimately, Shawn was so much more than someone who provided music. He got to know us and what we wanted for our wedding. He took the time to understand our preferences and how we wanted our ceremony to be. He provided all of the sound equipment and even came to our rehearsal to make sure things went smoothly. They offered a slideshow, lighting extras, and they have a ton of extra items to choose from, including digital cameras that you can put on the tables for guest to use.

    At our actual wedding, he and his amazing assistant (whose name is Max I believe?) created the PARTY OF A LIFETIME. Even the old folks were there until the VERY end. I am not even joking. No one wanted to leave! It was late and guests asked, "Wait! It's not over, right?!" People also wanted the playlist, it was awesome. E.T.E. knows how to read a crowd unlike anything I've ever seen. Nothing felt better to have a wedding where people didn't want to go. And it was completely because of the fun party environment that Event Team Entertainment created.

    If you want dj's who aren't cheesy (like some out there), who are eager to customize your wedding, and who provide the best wedding entertainment and organization, go with Event Team. You will look back and have zero regrets.

    We were very happy with the service, music, professionalism and atmosphere that Event Team brought to our wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Not only a good DJ but a good MC, which is what you want for your wedding! I can say with certainty that they are the best of both worlds.

    Marc was always on point with all of the music for our Ceremony, Reception and was key to directing our guests where they needed to be. Event Team has creative ideas to personalize your wedding experience that you never would have thought of before talking to them. For example we put together Bios of all of our Bridesmaids and Groomsmen which were used to introduce the party into the reception. We played a fun trivia game about ourselves that released tables to the buffet and kept people entertained while doing so. I could go on and on about what a terrific job Marc did to make our day so special. These guys have a 5 star rating for a reason and that is why you really need to check them out before deciding otherwise!

    Shawn Whittemore did a fantastic job at our wedding. I have had many guests who attended tell me that our wedding was the most fun they have ever been to because of the dj. The price is a little higher than some but my husband and I really believe we got our money's worth!! Shawn planned things that were unique, fun, and very memorable for our reception (we won't give anything away). Definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed :)

    We love Shawn! Shawn definitely made our wedding day fabulous - He made sure everything was in order, answered all our questions in a timely manner, helped us pick out songs and offered ideas to keep the day flowing. He is very professional, very outgoing and funny. We've recommended him several times to friends who have used him and we will keep passing his name along!

    Shawn and his team did an amazing job with both our ceremony and the reception! In addition to providing music and entertainment, Shaun took charge and coordinated our rehearsal.

    During the reception he kept the fun and festivities going non stop! He made our wedding unique and exciting by capturing our personalities perfectly.

    Thank you Shawn,

    Shaun and Courtney Smith

    Event Team made our vision a reality!!

    We were unsure how important a DJ was for our wedding day, but as we worked with Jesse, Shawn, and Bryce, we realized we could not have made our vision come to reality without them! Hiring Event Team was one of the best vendor decisions we made during the process of planning our wedding. The team is incredibly kind and professional. They take the time to get to know you as a couple and are ready to offer their advice on the flow of the day while also game to listen to some of the crazy "what if we did this?!" ideas that we had in the months leading up to the wedding day. Shawn went out of his way to make it to our rehearsal so that our entire bridal party felt confident going into the day. And Bryce was our DJ the day of the wedding. Bryce was incredible at making the day flow so that we didn't have to worry about or question anything--we just got to soak it all in. And OH MY GOODNESS...the dance party was one of the highlights of our lives. The energy was strong from the start and continued through the last song. Bryce was masterful at incorporating our must-play songs and reading the crowd for what perfect songs could work well in the moment.

    We can't thank you enough, Event Team Entertainment!! You're whole team is amazing and I know any future couple who works with you will not regret it.

    This was hands-down the best possible DJ we could've used at our wedding. Not only was he the perfect fit for the day of the wedding, the organization and professionalism he displayed in the year prior to our wedding to prepare for it was unmatched. Shawn is a master. He's cool, confident, and knows how to make sure people are having a great time. Thanks!

    The best DJ & MC

    He kept the crowd entertained and played the music perfectly! We were so thankful he was apart of our special day. He even added in a cool surprise for our vows into a song at the end of the night. We slow danced with all of our closets friends and family surrounding us with candles. One of my favorite memories of the night and he made it all happen for us.

    Shawn brought a high level of energy and enthusiasm to our wedding. He was professional, and always sought our opinion first when planning the day. He brings a great deal of experience to the table and had an impressive number of options for each section of the wedding and reception. He had a smooth manner in front of our guests and was very effective at keeping the wedding moving along without being pushy.
    He did an outstanding job and was a large part of our wedding being so memorable and fun!

    We worked with Shawn with Even Team for our wedding and he was fantastic! He was ALWAYS very professional and and responded in a timely manner to any questions. He was not only a DJ, but also an event coordinator and extremely knowledgeable. He was present at our rehearsal to get to know everyone and coordinated the order of the ceremony and how it would all go for the big day, which was amazing. I don't know any DJ that does this. As far as the DJ goes, he was very "into" the wedding and did a great job of keeping the ball rolling for the reception events. He was very interactive with all the guests and we got so many comments from our guests about how great he is. He showcases you as a couple but is not so overboard that he steals the "limelight" away. He wasn't just some typical wedding DJ that sits back in the corner and plays horrible music. My only complaint was that he did not play all lthe music that we had requested on the "must play" list, but other than that he was exceptional and would highly recommend.

    We had Jesse as our DJ and he was more than we could have asked . My husband and I connected with Jesse right away. At our wedding I had two separate guests ask if he was a family member because how well he was with our children and family. I would recommend him to everyone I know!! He reads people and really captures how you want your special day and nails it. Jesse brought our ideas to life and created everlasting memories for us forever. He does what he loves and it shows.
    Thanks Jesse!!

    Shawn and his team are without a doubt the gold standard in the business. We met with him early on in our wedding planning process and it was the best move we made. He helped us create a vision for our event and he helped us to add our own style and influence. Shawn constantly reminded us that this was our big day and urged us to do things our way. In addition to walking us through much of the planning phases, he helped us network with our other vendors. When the big day arrived, Shawn was absolutely on point. He provided phenomenal entertainment, he kept things running incredibly smooth and made sure every detail was highlighted. Several of our guests made a point to comment on how awesome he was and a few have already reached out to him for bookings! In summary, he runs a tight ship, ensures all marks are hit and most importantly, throws an amazing party! I highly recommend Shawn and The Event Team to anyone looking to make their wedding or special event "pop".

    My event couldn't have gone more smoothly, months after I am still hearing guests say how much fun they had at our reception. My grandparents, mother, even uncle were out on the dance floor having a great time, I couldn't believe my eyes!

    Mark was easy to work with, prompt in returning my emails and phone calls, and was willing to work with me long distance (I live in Eastern Oregon). During the event he kept things on schedule without being pushy, he is so laid back that everything was a breeze and went perfectly according to plan!

    I cannot possibly say enough good things about our experience with Shawn and Event Team Entertainment. All of our guests to a one have shared that our wedding was one of the very best parties they have ever attended. And, for that, we have Shawn and his team to thank. The music was flawless, the transitions were seamless, the professionalism was unerring and the party nearly took the roof off our venue. Every. Single. Person. Danced. There was not a single dead moment during the entire six hours from the beginning of the ceremony to the last encore song. I have attended a great many weddings and know that this is not necessarily a given. Shawn is responsive by e-mail, engaging in person, and a true showman at events. If and when we have another event or need to provide a recommendation we will definitely turn to Event Team for our event coordination and sound needs. Shawn is not just a DJ. He provides a full seamless experience acting as your very own master of ceremonies. He is all of the things that you will not get from a well-intentioned friend with an iPod. Hiring Shawn and his team was undoubtedly one of the very best decisions we made while planning our wedding. He is truly worth every penny. Our wedding would not have been the same without his expertise.

    Sincerely,
    Emily & Robert

    Of all the aspects of our wedding, I cared the most about getting a great DJ. I interviewed a handful that were recommended by friends, but Shawn was by far the clear choice and he did not disappoint. From my first conversation with him, he was professional, fun and knew exactly what he was doing. We didn't want a DJ that was cheesy, but rather someone that was cool, hip, but that would appeal to all audiences.

    We met with Shawn for a few hours a couple months before our wedding and he was so much fun. He played a bunch of different songs for the different key parts of the wedding (first dance, father/daughter, mother/son, garter, bouquet, cake cutting, etc). All of his suggestions fit our style and were spot on.

    Shawn came to our rehearsal as we he was also doing the music for our ceremony. He took charge and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be and when. The day of the wedding, everything went perfectly thanks to Shawn. He kept things moving and was a great MC for the night.

    He kept playing the best songs and we had a 3 hour long dance party where everyone (old and young) was dancing all night. At the end, he did a special surprise and replayed our vows from the ceremony which was such a special treat.

    My husband and I have been to a ton of weddings and Shawn is by far the best DJ we have ever seen- several of our guests echoed the same sentiment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shawn for your wedding- he went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect.

    Jesse from event team entertainment was Awesome from our first meeting with him through our wedding and still weeks after the wedding. He played bridal trivia and helped us find music and even got some songs into the reception that we wanted for certain people including a bone thugs in harmony song and it fit perfectly. This company is awesome and Jesse Rocked.

    Our DJ was Jesse Bearden and we could not have been happier with him. We got married at an outdoor venue on August 30, 2014. The ceremony, dinner and reception took place in 3 different locations/buildings and everything sounded great and transitions were seamless.

    It poured for hours in the morning, so when Jesse arrived early to set up the sound, we had constructed Plan B at an indoor location. After he had everything set up and had done sound checks (and less than 2 hours before the ceremony was set to start), the sky started to clear up so we made a last minute decision to move the ceremony back outside. Jesse & team tore down their equipment and had everything set up outside in time for the pre-ceremony music and the ceremony was perfect!

    We loved the music selection during dinner - it was appropriate, but not cliche. Jesse interacted great with the guests and made sure everyone knew what was going on and when. He kept the guests informed well and the sound for the speeches was great.

    The highlight was the reception though. Jessie obviously listened when we talked through the types of music and party we wanted and he incorporated everything we had talked about leading up to the wedding. He played a wide variety of music - from hip hop to polka to country - and all of it was well-timed. There were people on the dance floor the entire night, right up until the closing song at mid-night when we had 30-40 people still out on the dance floor.

    Multiple people commented to us after the wedding how much fun it was and how great our DJ was. We met with Jesse once in person a few weeks before the wedding (he came to us, which was super convenient) and we had follow-ups via email after that. We always felt like he had everything under control and he added no stress to the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding.

    We would absolutely recommend Jesse and Event Team Entertainment and hope to be at a wedding they are working soon!

    I have worked with Shawn from Event Team Entertainment on several weddings/events, so I already knew his style, professionalism and skill. He's one of the best! So it was a no-brainer to hire him for my own wedding!

    Shawn is able to read the crowd and keep the party going ... whether your guests are dance-maniacs or dance-shy.

    Event Team Entertainment is quality at its best!!

    Shawn and his team at Event Team Entertainment saved the wedding! We contacted him the afternoon before the wedding after we found out via KATU Problem Solvers that the original DJ (with another company) was going to be a "no show". Shawn stepped in, apologized for his profession and told me that he would "rally" the troops to make sure we were not disappointed. Event Team Entertainment actually pulled in three of their staff to make sure everything went smoothly. I am convinced that we ended up with a far and above better DJ then we would have. I cannot thank them enough. They are extremely professional, their DJ's are fantastic and they actually care about the day being special and fun for everyone.

    Shawn was amazing! Our friends and family still talk about how great our DJ was. He made our wedding day so incredibly unique and special. When most people see his costs, they question whether it's worth it, and let me tell you, he is totally worth every penny! He met with us several times leading up to the wedding, making sure our wedding/reception was a representation of us and our relationship. He coordinated our rehearsal, which ended being quite the life-saver. He even threw in some special surprises for us, which made our day even more special. There is not one bad thing I could say about Shawn and his company, he was great! If you want your guests to have a great time and to be entertained, and you just want to be able to enjoy your day without any worries, he is the DJ/MCee for you!

    The first thing that impressed me about Event Team Entertainment and Shawn in particular is that for our meetings he came to Kyle & my house. That may sound like a simple thing, but when you start meeting with vendors your weeknights become packed with meetings and have you driving across the city. I really appreciated the willingness for Shawn to come to us! It made him so easy to work with.

    Another thing that I loved about Shawn was his flexibility. Kyle and I started out not needing him for the ceremony and then soon before the wedding we in fact did need him. That was no problem for Shawn. We also changed the songs we wanted for special dances and times during the reception about 5 times. Not only did Shawn keep up with all the current song changes, he had a great attitude the entire time.

    For the reception my biggest concern was that people just kept dancing. Kyle and I didn't have a lot of strict direction in what kind of music he played, except that we wanted to just keep the dancing going. And he did that! There wasn't a single song he played where the dance floor wasn't packed.

    My family and friends have been to a lot of weddings lately and even they were impressed by Shawn. He directed us through the night... nobody missed out on any of the special events because he was sure to get everyone's attention. The guests at the wedding are still talking about how much fun they had dancing and how great the music was.

    His services at our ceremony and reception were the best. And I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to hire the best! Like I said - I've been to a lot of weddings... where a mic will go out during the toasts, or a wrong song is played - none of this will happen with Shawn. He truly helped make Kyle and my wedding the perfect event that we planned for.
