    Shawn is the Best Around

    We have hosted events for 25 years and chose Shawn Wittemore from The Event Team for our daughter's wedding. Having been around the industry and seeing all the different vendors, we were pretty tough customers since this was the first time hosting for one of our own. The entire wedding celebration was a 10 out of 10. We cannot say enough good things about Shawn and the quality and execution of a flawless event. Everything from the ceremony, emceeing for the dinner reception, and toasts, and into the dancing and sendoff, Shawn went above and beyond to make this truly memorable. All weddings have something or a few things you wish you could have done differently or had thought...

    Great to work with!

    I've worked with Shawn Whittemore at Event Team Entertainment for close to 20 years and as I tell wedding couples: "Event Team Entertainment is one of the best!". This past Saturday Jacobson was the DJ at a wedding I coordinated and he did a great job behind the mic, directing the flow of the evening with class and a touch of humor. The dance party appealed to everyone, younger guests to older guests.
    I highly recommend Event Team Entertainment!

    A review with a unique perspective

    I have the unique opportunity to be able to review Event Team Entertainment from two completely different lenses…

    First lens…I’ve known Shawn for over 15 years having been a wedding DJ myself. During that time, I got to watch Shawn’s metamorphosis into one of THE best at what he does in our industry in the country. Period. Hard stop. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone that has the passion, attention to detail, personalization, and level of service that he has. I was in that industry for 26 years, and I have much respect for anyone in the business that is doing all the right things behind the scenes to master their craft. Shawn is an absolute master.

    Shawn is the best in the biz!

    I could not imagine choosing anyone besides Event Team Entertainment to Dj/Emcee our wedding. Shawn is truly such a professional, is so knowledgable, and truly cares that the flow of your event is seamless. He has so much great experience, and is top notch in the industry.

    Shawn is also so kind, personable, and really lets you be a part of the process! He works so well with your other vendors, and can take control when need be.

    Could not recommend him and his team enough!!! You truly cannot go wrong!

    Kind, Professional, and Attentive!

    Shawn at Event Team Entertainment is absolutely one of our favorite vendors on our wedding day. He is so incredibly professional, attentive, organized, respectful….the list could go on, and on, and on! He did a great job of mixing together our wide range of music tastes while taking requests on the day of - leading the event as a phenomenal MC. He really made it a point to get to know us as a couple and made us feel extremely special throughout the planning process. We will forever recommend Event Team Entertainment!

    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.

    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...

    Definite yes!

    Shawn was so great! He was so personable, friendly and an awesome DJ! He met with us a few weeks prior to our ceremony, met with us the day before our ceremony and had a great feel for our crowd on the day of our wedding and kept our small/old people party going for hours! Thanks so much for all your work and we were thankful to have you. Shawn worked so well with our venue, The Aerie at Eagle Landing!

    Shawn and Jesse created the BEST dance party at our wedding! We danced the night away with our family and friends and every song was a crowd pleaser that kept the party going! After personally attending many weddings with bad noise and feedback issues, this was something I was worried about. The sound was perfect and flawless! The vintage microphone added a unique and awesome touch, especially in the photos. The subtle, yet mastered direction from Shawn was great to keep the crowd in the know and interested. We didn't really have anything planned for our exit and Shawn encouraged everyone to make a tunnel for us to run down....Seriously so fun and a great lasting memory with awesome...

    Shawn with Event Team Entertainment was a perfect choice. All of our guests raved about Shawn's energy and how he kept the party rollin', even while the groom and I were sneaking for some picture opportunities.

    Shawn arranged a little bride/groom challenge, which was not only fun to participate in, but was entertaining for our guests. And he also provided a HUGE surprise for us during our last dance. I won't provide details, cause I don't want to ruin the surprise for any other couples, but I will say that it caught everyone off guard and made most of us tear up.

    We couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out.

    LOVE Shawn and his team! My wedding was the third I'd seen him at and every single one was spectacular! We got a ton of compliments on him and how organized and nice he was. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders for things to coordinate at the wedding with Shawn. We love him!

    Event Team Entertainment came highly recommended to us. We went with Shawn and couldn't have been happier with his personality and services. Everything was PERFECT with the music, entertainment, etc. at our wedding. I still have friends and family tell me how impressed they were with our DJ and how much fun they had dancing at our wedding (and we were married 3 months ago)!! Even though it's one of the more spendy DJ services around, I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything in the world.

    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!!

    I am in the entertainment industry and so when my daughter decided to get married I wanted to be sure that the most important part of the reception (the dj/mc) was handled by a professional - We interviewed over 10 (so called) DJ's until we met with Shawn - we had a budget and he was a bit over our budget but when we stopped and thought about the difference in price - it was the best bargin out there - he not only kept the wedding flowing (we have been to several since) and they seem boring - lifeless - uneventful - he entertained our guests - make things flow (way better than an event planner) and down...

    Do yourself a favor and check EventTeam out. We felt a great DJ was one of the most important items for our wedding and found exactly what we were looking for. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

    Magical and Memorable

    Colin was an amazing MC! We had a Medieval-Fantasy/LoTR themed wedding and he made everything feel so fantastical and immersive. He beautifully read the room and matched the mood. Colin was super enthusiastic about our theme and music genres, and really helped bring the magic to life.

    Terrific DJ and Entertainment Service

    We hired ETE to DJ our wedding back in 2019. From the start, we had a great experience with DJ Shawn, who put our minds at ease that our wedding would be handled with professionalism, creativity, and charisma. He was responsive to our needs, flexible and generous on pricing, and a great resource in helping plan our vision for the day.

    We ultimately had to postpone a year due to COVID and Shawn was extremely flexible in working with us to make the day happen, despite obstacles. He stayed on at no extra cost, and connected us with one of the other DJs at ETE (DJ Robby) who would be available on our new date. When the day...

    Fantastic DJ and MC!!

    Our DJ Robby (and his assistant) were absolutely fantastic! I would highly, highly recommend him! He helped prepare us by asking the right questions well in advance and was extremely flexible on the day of the wedding. He came prepared, was very professional and created a FUN reception! He also kept the event flowing and knew how to read the crowd. We would definitely use him again and can't say enough positive things about him! Well worth the money!!

    Outstanding experience

    Colin Hansen did such an amazing job with our wedding. He was incredibly prepared, helpful, relatable, and did an wonderful job all around! There is no way our wedding would have gone as well as it did without him. He played great music, kept people engaged, and made the entire day run very smoothly.
    I could not have asked for for a better dj and would recommend him to all.

    Incredible

    Shawn did an amazing job to set the tone for our reception. He was easy to work with, had great energy, understood our music style from the beginning and was able to set the perfect tone for an amazing night. He was a dynamic MC and worked so well with us throughout the night to keep things on pace. We had SO many compliments from guest about how much they enjoyed the reception, the music and the dancing. We could not have achieved this without Shawn, hands down.

    Colin was the best addition to our wedding

    We used event team entertainment for our wedding DJ at Horning’s Hideout and Colin crushed it. I told him the vibe we wanted for each part of the evening and without a doubt, hiring him was an excellent decision. We had guests coming up to us after the ceremony asking us for our DJs contact info and raving about how good the music was (and as you are well aware music can make or break a wedding reception), the dance floor was full all evening and he kept the event running smoothly. As someone involved in the event industry, I do not give my endorsement lightly but Colin fully deserves it and all the praise for how fun our wedding was.

    Jesse is Amazing!

    Of the things people remember most about our wedding, the music and dancing is definitely at the top. If I could rate a 6 out of 5 I would. Jesse was incredible. So many things to say, where to begin? Upon initial meeting, Jesse put us completely at ease about our wedding day. He communicated his vision for his role on our wedding day, how he plans for each event, his expectations of his performance, and what he values. He is a great communicator, easy to get along with, very professional, and has an awesome, fun personality. Jesse is well-organized, on time and makes everyone around him feel welcomed. He connects with his couples and truly takes the time...

    DJ Shawn was the DJ for my sisters wedding as well as mine! He makes the whole reception run smoothly and provides entertainment during in between times where there might a lull. He does an absolutely wonderful job and is very pleasant and easy to work with!
