    If you want the best from start to finish say less.

    From the beginning process of wedding planning, through our ceremony, to the best part (THE PARTY) Joe absolutely nailed it. If you’re looking for a DJ that does so much more than play music, look no further.

    After our first couple meetings with Joe we felt much more at ease, there’s so much to think about when you’re planning a wedding and he kept us right on track every step of the way.

    As far as our reception his set up and equipment is stunning!! He kept a constant flow of people out on the dance floor - even my 85 year old GG was out shaking her groove thang!

    We can’t thank you enough for all the time and work you put into making our wedding day total perfection.

    Joe is amazing!

    Joe was totally amazing! He met with us 3 times before our big day! He also customized our father daughter dance so it included a voice recording!

    Best DJ Service!

    For our wedding, Joe was one of the most personable venders we had the pleasure of working with. He listened to our story and offered a ton of guidance on what to expect with the big day. Ultimately, he helped us create the exact vision of what we wanted our special day to look like. Joe takes the profession of what a DJ service should be to the next level. I undoubtedly would recommend his services to anyone that is look for a DJ for their wedding. Thank you Joe!

    Exceptional Entertainment is an accurate name

    Joe did an absolutely amazing job at turning our wedding into a party! Every age group had songs that they went absolutely wild for and it’s all because Joe did an incredible job at keeping a pulse on the crowd at all times. Multiple people told us it was the most fun dance floor they’ve ever been on for a wedding. On top of that, he was very helpful with us planning the ceremony, a great announcer for our grand March, and overall was responsive and willing to work with any requests we had. Absolute 10/10 experience and would recommend!

    Best. DJ. Ever.

    This is your DJ. Without a doubt one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding was hiring Exceptional Entertainment. We worked with Joe, and he was very communicative. He was the vendor we met with the most, and even though that may sound excessive for a DJ, it really isn't. The DJ is the life of the party for a wedding, so it's 100% worth it to invest the time & money into it if you and your guests want to have a great night. Joe did a phenomenal job with the transitions and kept people out on the dance floor. We also had their Photo Booth services and it was a hit with the guests. The picture quality was great and guests could get a copy sent to their phones immediately after. Another cool add-on they offer are their cold spark machines. If you're looking for an alternative to the sparkler exit, these have the same affect in wedding photos but less of the chaos of having to organize and manage all of your guests with sparklers. They were beautiful and definitely added a "wow factor" to the night. Overall, it truly was the best night of my life and I have Joe to thank for playing such a vital part to that.

    (P.S. if this wasn't enough to help convince you, three of my wedding guests actually booked with Exceptional Entertainment soon after for their own weddings because of how much fun they had!)

    Exceeded all of our expectations!

    Joe did an outstanding job! It was a top priority of ours to have a great DJ who could keep the party going and get people on the dance floor and stay on the dance floor. We were also very particular in looking for someone to keep the night flowing and be a great Emcee. Joe delivered in all aspects. He was easy to work with and put all worries aside by staying in touch and giving us so many resources to help us get ready for our big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception thanks to Exceptional Entertainment! Months later, family and friends still talk about what a great atmosphere Joe created and rave about the job he did. Highly recommend booking with them! You won’t regret it.

    Exceptional Entertainment Dj services

    Joe with Exceptional Entertainment was amazing to work with throughout our wedding planning process. He is fun, easy going, and SO organized. He helped us create a perfect plan for our reception and it went off without a hitch. Our dance floor was NEVER empty and multiple guests asked for his information after our event, we 10/10 recommend him and his company for your wedding or event!!

    Joe was great to work with for our wedding last spring. He was professional from start to finish, always responsive, and our guests loved the mix of music he played throughout the day and evening. We strongly recommend Joe and the Exceptional Entertainment team!

    The best dj

    I come from a big family so I’ve seen a lot of weddings. Joe did my brothers wedding and it was the fullest dance floor I’ve ever seen…so I had him do my wedding! Truly the best dj! Joe made sure to meet with us multiple times and made sure we felt prepared for our big night! I seriously would trust him with any event.

    More than just a DJ!

    I'm beyond grateful to Joe and the Exceptional Entertainment team for all of their hard work. Joe is organized, on top of things, and thorough. During our pre-wedding calls, he brought up details that I had never even thought of, and I was so appreciative to have him help me navigate our wedding reception by keeping us on schedule with our speeches, first dances, etc. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and Joe did a fantastic job gauging the crowd and playing what they wanted. We also utilized Exceptional Entertainment's photo booth and guest book phone, which were special additions that our guests really loved. He had foam light-up sticks for the dance floor that were a HUGE hit with all of our guests! Joe was having a great time behind the DJ booth and I think that really was a game-changer with my guests matching his energy. I 100% will be recommending Joe to all of my friends and family for their events!

    Knows how to throw a party!

    Joe knows how to throw a party! Our wedding was unforgettable and exactly what we wanted and huge part of that is thanks to Joe. We wanted to throw a dance party for our wedding so we needed a DJ who could play the hits and keep people on the dance floor all night long. We also wanted to ensure that our musical tastes were reflected in the music selected. We wanted this gay wedding to have a gay dance party! That’s exactly what Joe did for us.

    During the planning process Joe was very hands on and collaborative. He helped us plan the evening and identify different moments we wanted to have. There were a few songs that we wanted to play and he ensured that he had them all for the night. He even made custom edits to a few songs for us like for our entrances or dances.

    The night of he was extremely attentive and got the party started immediately once the dance floor opened. People were dancing the whole night long. One moment that stood out was when he played a Portuguese song “Bate of Pé” which got everyone doing this Portuguese line dance. That was of course a requested song by us for the night, but then he transitioned out of it seamlessly into “Dança Kuduro” which was not a song we ever discussed but one I love to dance to that just worked perfectly right after. I was in shock at how perfect that was. Transitions were something we were really particular about and Joe nailed ALL OF THEM!

    His lighting also helped set the mood and vibe on the dance floor. It synced up perfectly to the music. During a really special moment of “Let It Go”, the lights were all set to blue which really elevated that whole song and experience. The videos we have with that blue lighting is truly magical.

    He recorded our ceremony and speeches so that we have clear audio of those special moments. These will be great keepsakes!

    Joe did an exceptional job, more than we could have ever asked for. He understood the assignment and delivered!

    10/10 Would Recommend!!!

    Joe was awesome! Between our booking and wedding day he remained in contact with us and helped us plan the perfect day. His website allowed us to be as flexible or hands off as we wanted with choosing our songs. On the day of the wedding Joe checked in with us multiple times to make sure the day was going as planned. He coordinated with other vendors and most of all kept the dance floor packed with amazing music! 10/10 would recommend!!!

    10/10 would 100% recommend!

    Joe at Exceptional Entertainment did an amazing job! From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, Joe had endless advice and communicated throughout the whole process. He was great at helping us plan for everything and anything that could happen during our wedding day. His knowledge was so helpful for us to have such an effortless evening! Joe made our wedding reception the party we always envisioned. Throughout the whole night I was endlessly impressed with his work. It was a party all night long! Even the family members that are never big “dancers” at weddings, were out on the dance floor. I can’t say enough great things about the work Joe did! I highly recommend going with Exceptional Entertainment if you are looking for a DJ for your big day. You won't be disappointed!

    Amazing experience, and amazing to work with!!

    Joe was wonderful! I knew right away we were in good hands with the organization of the music/timeline website. It really helped us envision what we wanted for our day. Joe was professional and on time with meetings and on site, and kept updating us throughout the night to let us know what was next or what was going on. He even snuck in one last song for us! He played a lot of what was on our song list but also chose songs that better suit the mood for what people were dancing to. I highly recommend exceptional entertainment. I promise you will not be disappointed! We can't thank him enough!

    Joe is top tier within his profession. Really easy to work and communicate with and brings much more than just being a DJ to the table. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

    Everyone Should Be This Good

    I would highly recommend Joe for any event that requires a DJ. He is way more than a DJ though. He helped to plan the day and set our minds at ease that everything would be timed properly. He also has many tools available to help you on your special day. These tools include helping you write your personal wedding vows, checklist leading up to the big day, and many more! He was very accommodating and able to change things on fly when needed. Thank you Joe for making our day amazing!!! Jeremy & Lisa Noll

    Outstanding DJ and experience

    We had a great experience with Joe Nagan as our DJ for our wedding! He was great with communication, and we appreciated the check in meetings leading up to our wedding to make sure all the details were accurate. I personally had complicated family situations that Joe was able to help me navigate with first dances and changing things around the week of which was helpful.

    The actual wedding was great, he was so sweet to my husband and I in any interactions we had and we had great feedback from our guests on the songs that were played during open floor dance. Thank you, so much, Joe!

    The best!

    Joe is extremely professional, organized, flexible, and fun to work with. He went above and beyond playing our wedding music; he guided us through details, in creating timelines, and getting everyone where they needed to be on our wedding day. He's very patient, and personable, and our dance floor was packed until the end of the night. He truly wants to do everything in his power to make your day perfect!

    Amazing is an Understatement !

    Joe was so prompt, organized, and definitely brought the party! Throughout the whole wedding planning process, he helped us with all our questions and kept us stress free. When the reception came around at the wedding, he read the room and was able to get people on their feet and dancing in no time. His energy is great, and his set up is top notch. It’s very sleek looking , and all our guests loved it! We highly recommend Joe and Exceptional Entertainment for DJing your wedding/another event!

    Exceptional Entertainment was great!

    Joe DJ'd our wedding on 6.24.22 and we have nothing but positive things to say. The portal he uses to help you plan out your music and timeline for the day is so helpful and he was very flexible to any changes we made. We trusted his opinion on things we weren't sure of and everything went so smooth on the day. We felt he went above and beyond and did an amazing job! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding!

    An absolute must-have dj!

    Joe nailed everything that we envisioned on our wedding day. From the smooth transitions during ceremony and cocktail hour, to keeping soothing, calm vibes during dinner time (while also directing dinner table releases, making announcements, keeping our timeline, etc.) to magically turning our dance floor into the most upbeat, energetic party, Joe perfectly aligned with what we were looking for on our big day.

    We also really appreciated Joe due to his professionalism and his “client first” attitude. We had multiple meetings with Joe before our big day which allowed us to get to know one another and understand our exact vision for our wedding. Joe was quick and positive with email responses and was always looking for ways to give tips and tricks that would elevate our day.

    We could not recommend Joe or Exceptional Entertainment more! Good music and someone that people can vibe with is something that is a must-have at a wedding, or any event to be honest!! And after having our wedding, we can truthfully say that Joe is a must-have at your wedding too.

    Thanks for all you did for us, Joe. We could not have been happier!

    Amazing DJ! Couldn't recommend Joe enough!

    Joe was amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was nothing but responsive, kind, and supportive of us. He provided us with ceremony, dinner, and dance audio/music. He arrived early and was very understanding and helpful throughout the day. He went as far as to change out of his blue suit so he would not match our bridal party the day of, which was totally unnecessary and we didn't even ask, nor would we have cared! His website was very easy and convenient to use for our song selections. He has a very broad and inclusive list of songs readily available, and has an easy to use song recommendation option that we were able to use for The Brooklyn Duo and The Piano Guys. We 10 out of 10 recommend Joe at Exceptional Entertainment for your wedding and any other event!

    Awesome to work with and so much fun!

    We had such a great experience working with Joe at Exceptional Entertainment. He was very organized and laid things out for us so clearly when we first met, and he responded very quickly. We hired him pretty shortly after that. From then on, he was there to answer questions and provide resources throughout our wedding planning process. When the wedding got closer, we met a few times to go over everything for the wedding so I didn't have anything to worry about. The online portal he uses made things simple and organized. Our guests and ourselves were on the dance floor the entire night. People had so much fun and every time I looked at Joe, he was engaged in his work with a smile on his face the whole time, having a great time. I highly recommend and can't say enough great things!

    Raising the bar for Exceptional

    Joe truly was EXCEPTIONAL from our initial meeting to when he packed up at the end of the night! His initial meeting and pre-wedding meetings helped us make sure that everything was good to go. He always responded quickly to any questions. On the day of the wedding, Joe coordinated with the other vendors to make sure the ceremony ran smoothly which was a huge weight off our shoulders.

    We recommend Exceptional Entertainment to anyone looking to hire a DJ!
