We were so happy with Hesson Entertainment! Mike is great, very quick with responses, the planning process is easy and he truly wants it to be YOUR way at your wedding! He made sure everything was squared away before our day with lighting and specific songs, microphones, announcements, pronunciations and more! They are fairly priced for what you get, our specific DJ, DJ David, was phenomenal! He took all of our requests and playlists and it flowed so well. He was super super nice and easy to work with, he’s easy to get along with and our guests loved him too! Our DJ was the right mix of party and business, he did his job while having fun with us and our guests. I can’t say enough good things about him, he and Hesson Entertainment deserve all the praise. You pay a fair price for a DJ that loves what they do, is good at what they do, and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way!

Great night in Northern VA!
David was our wedding DJ in November of 2024 at The Atrium at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA. He's a musician himself, and it was evident that he cared about our love of music as well. We worked with him on some specific song preferences, but he nailed the overall vibes we were going for from the cocktail hour through the reception.
He also communicated with us well throughout the night along with our coordinator to let us know how we were doing on time and to ensure all of the planned moments went off flawlessly. As far as emceeing the event, our guests loved his style and energy and he was a natural at knowing when to reengage the party.
Our ceremony was outside, and David worked closely with our coordinator and officiant to make sure that everything sounded great.
We can't thank David and Hesson Entertainment enough for making sure our wedding looked, sounded, and flowed perfectly. From planning to execution, they were easy to work with and delivered on everything we discussed. We would highly recommend working with them if you're planning in the Northern Virginia/DC area.
Are you interested?

Amazing. Highly recommend.
Hesson Entertainment did an amazing job at our October wedding. We booked them a month before and they helped me pick songs and set up a flow to our day to keep guests entertained. During the reception, our DJ did a great job adjusting our original timeline to the events that were taking place. I highly recommend them!

Wedding- DJ and uplighting 6hrs
Hesson Entertainment helped make our wedding day even more memorable. Michael was so incredibly easy to get ahold of and communicate all throughout the wedding planning process. He always stayed in touch and made sure we had ample opportunities to share what we envisioned and to make our dream wedding become a reality. Not to mention he responded to emails, calls and texts almost immediately. It is evident he takes pride in his clients and wants the best for us. He helped us work through our “client portal” which included our ideal timeline, details, and “do’s and don’t play songs”
David was our DJ and he was SO much fun! We discussed our vision with him and he made it come to life. He read the room and always had the dance floor busy with his hits. We told him we wanted a variety of classics, but also dancing music and he made it happen.
David was also very prompt. He arrived early and made sure the day flowed with no stress. He provided the microphone and gave us 3 different options, which was amazing. Additionally, he set up blue Cobalt uplighting around our reception hall and that truly enhanced the beautiful venue.
Overall, Hesson Entertainment is a no brainer. If you want a cost friendly, communicative, knowledgeable and experienced group, this is your team. Best decision ever!

Amazing service!
We were so lucky to get to have Mike as our DJ at our wedding! He was so awesome and amazing to work with! We gave him a list of songs and he did such an awesome job at making our playlist really come together to get all our guests on the dance floor. People kept telling us how great our DJ was and how much fun they had the whole night from the ceremony music, to the cocktail and dinner music and then the reception music.
We couldn't have done it without him!
Mike also brought in some great uplighting and lights to really give our wedding the perfect touch.
Highly recommend! Such a pleasure to work with and so organized and on top of everything we needed for the big day. Can't thank him enough!

Great DJ - Everyone was on the dance floor
Michael and David were great at helping both plan and execute our wedding reception! They helped us think through the order of events before hand and offered guidance from their experience. Day of, David led a great party. We were having so much fun, two guests split their pants during the dancing! There was a little something for everyone, from my grandparents all the way down to the kids.

We Danced All Night!
We were lucky enough to select Hesson Entertainment for our daughter's wedding. Michael Hesson (the owner) was a dream to work with. He is super responsive, professional and knowledgeable! We had DJ Chazon as our DJ for the wedding. He was awesome. From the minute he started playing dancing music after dinner, the dance floor was filled for the entire evening with guests of all ages! One song after another was fun and danceable. DJ Chazon was great at reading the crowd, and knowing what would appeal to them. We had such a great time, and had so many positive comments from our guests. Such a fun evening!

Amazing experience with Hesson Entertainment!
Michael Hesson is a wonderful person to do business with - professional, kind, prompt in communicating, and attentive to all client needs. Our wedding was well organized, and had great music, all thanks to Michael and our DJ David! The pricing is very reasonable, and Michael has a very user friendly website where clients can input all their favorite music and special dances. Our DJ played music that everyone loved all night. He even had the idea to do an anniversary dance at the beginning of the evening, and it was a huge hit with guests! I couldn't recommend Michael and David more. You won't regret booking with them.

Best DJ Ever!!!
We used Hesson Entertainment at my daughter’s wedding reception and they were amazing! David was our DJ and was the best I’ve ever seen. He had the dance floor full the entire night! He played music for everyone. We had 170 people there and everyone agreed this was the most fun they ever had! We also had the Photo Booth with an assistant (Ray) which our guests of all ages enjoyed. It was so much fun to receive a digital copy of all the photos the next day! Michael Hesson and David discussed our music selections with us ahead of time and things could not have turned out better. David could tell what music the crowd liked and built on. Thank you sooo much Hesson Entertainment!!!

Great night with DJ David!
David was the DJ for our wedding in May 2022. He has a great personality and was nothing but professional throughout the entire process. Our guests enjoyed speaking with him & his experience behind the booth clearly shows. Every song we requested was played either during the ceremony, cocktail hour or reception. Also, he has an excellent voice for making announcements. David was 100% one of the highlights of our wedding night. Thank you for the many lifelong memories, DJ David!

DJ Chazon and Hesson Entertainment were wonderful!
My husband Erik and I got married on June 10th at the beautifully remodeled Kent Island Resort and Chazon was our DJ! He was so awesome and got everyone on the dance floor, even with our very small guest count! He is very personable and was amazing to work with! We could not have been happier!
Hesson entertainment as a whole is a wonderful company and owner Mike Hesson is friendly, responsive, and very easy to work with! They even have a website that allows you to add songs and create your wedding day timeline with them!
I highly recommend hiring them!

David the DJ, what a dude!
I was a VERY happy bride on my wedding day thanks to both Michael, the owner, and David, our DJ. As a bit of a music snob, finding a DJ who would be the right fit was very important to me, and I did quite a bit of shopping around before hiring Hesson Entertainment.
Leading up to the wedding, Michael was extremely available for any questions. The client portal website made me feel assured that my favorite songs would play and my least favorites would be avoided -- there is a category for "must play," "play only if requested," "do not play," and "play if possible," in addition to all of the special songs like first dance and cake cutting.
But the real star of the show was our DJ, David. He had exactly the personable yet chill vibe we were going for, and kept all of our friends and family scream singing and dancing all night long. I figured we were in good hands when he complimented my taste in music a few days before the wedding, but I knew we hit the jackpot when he got on the floor to teach our guests the Wobble and when he foresaw the exact moment of "Burning Down the House" we'd envisioned for our grand entrance. What a dude. Thank you both, David and Michael!

Unforgettable
I HIGHLY recommend this company. DJ Hesson was reserved for my wedding in Virginia Aug 20 2021. All systems were set up well ahead of time to walk. He communicated with me throughout the entire year leading up to my wedding and was well in tune with my venue. He had moved pretty far out of state but got a plan ticket to make it and flew out to VA. I was able to personalize so many songs and made so many last minute requests, but he did not hesitate to make it work. Every guest loved his skills and he dressed very professionally and was able to socialize with the guests the whole time. DJ Hesson had many difficult tasks for my wedding and nailed every single one of them. He was one of the most memorable parts of it all!

The party did not stop!
When it came to hiring our wedding DJ, we know this was a big decision that could set the tone for the entire evening. After reading several reviews and speaking with Michael, we knew we'd found an experienced company that would field our concerns and requests throughout the entire planning process. Our DJ on the big day, Tony, was so kind, considerate and took all of our requests for play/do not play/etc, very seriously. Beyond music and mics for the ceremony, Hesson also provided up lighting that totally transformed the entire venue as well as a photo booth that gave our guests something fun to do when resting in between sets on the dance floor. Our wedding music and vibe was everything we'd hoped for and more and it was entirely thanks for Hesson Entertainment - book them before its too late!

Best DJ ever
We had several calls with Mike the owner to chat about what we liked and wanted in a DJ. He picked one that felt fit best and he did not disappoint. David was OUTSTANDING. We had an hour long FaceTime the week of the wedding to chat about our taste in music, our crowd, and etc. He was very professional but also felt like part of our party during the entire night. He played every one requested, every song I picked, and even came on the dance floor to dance. David made our wedding night perfect.

We used Hesson entertainment for our wedding and they did a fantastic job. Michael was extremely responsive in the lead up to our event, and Tony did an incredible job day of - we were able to input songs we wanted on their software and then he expertly riffed off of those to make a great party. I would definitely recommend and use again!

I was outstanding! I worked with Mike for my 2020 wedding. Booking was so easy! My wedding was pretty simple but He offers so many extra services with lighting and photo booth options. He provides you with a login in to a portal specially to your wedding which I really liked because I could go in and make changes at anytime. Mike was so Patient and flexible with me when we had to change our wedding date. He was very professional and always available. Mike worked with me on a very special song for me as I was walking down the aisle to make sure I had the part of the song that fit best. He made our wedding ceremony and reception flow perfectly and fit everything into our reception we asked for.

Fast, Awesome, Responsive, Easy to work with
Michael was on time, very professional and very personable. Michael did a great job at setting the atmosphere and making our night incredible! He was a hype man during bridal party introduction and did not disappoint at all throughout the night. Very detail oriented with his schedule, his online directory was very informative and made the wedding day hassle free

Fantastic!!!
Hesson entertainment was amazing during our Covid wedding 7/18/2020! Even after our venue cancelled on us two weeks before the I Do’s, Hesson was so easy, flexible and accommodating with our venue change! They arrived early, were perfect for our ceremony and brought the party to our reception! My husband and i highly recommend them to all future brides and grooms out there! They are a must to check out!!!! Ashley and Andrew Blanford

Amazing Experience Beginning to End
Getting married in the midst of COVID-19 was not something that my husband or I could have imagined going through, but Hesson Entertainment made our planning and wedding that much easier. Michael Hesson was responsive, flexible, and matched us with an amazing DJ, David. David was mindful of our mix of guests who attended and played great music, while also understanding the new limitations of the pandemic. He stayed on schedule and kept my husband and I posted every step of the way. I would highly recommend Hesson Entertainment to anyone and everyone looking for a DJ who will make your wedding experience amazing!!

Amazing! Perfect Music and Vibe!
This team is incredibly professional, experienced, and fun! We met to discuss details on the phone a few times, but on the day of our wedding, they were absolutely perfect and exceeded my expectations! Our guests had an AMAZING time and the team followed everything that we requested. They did above and beyond and truly made the day so special and memorable. I would absolutely recommend them to a friend or family member. It can be hard to find DJ's over the internet, but you can rest assured that they will be perfect!

Michael was very professional in our meetings, and he had quick solutions to every question & concern I had. DJ Chazon had amazing energy throughout our wedding and was the perfect hype man for our reception! I loved that he even had a number to text to take requests from my guests. I’m very happy with having Hesson Entertainment work my wedding!

Hire DJ Chazon!!
We had a great experience working with Hesson Entertainment. Chazon was one of the first DJs we interviewed and he set the bar for the level of experience and professionalism in our search. Their online portal for sharing the timeline and song requests made planning music very simple, and the manager, Michael, called us the week of the wedding to finalize our selections and offer advice. DJ Chazon did an impeccable job the day of, striking the perfect balance we wanted between pumping the crowd up and letting the party flow naturally. He played the songs we requested and gave a good mix of similar genres of music. He also handled our traditional dollar dance with ease and was very gracious to our guests. We got many compliments on our wonderful DJ!

It was a pleasure working with Hesson Entertainment. Mike is super professional and knows this industry. We really liked his online portal giving our guest the option to request songs in advance. Mike was great throughout our event and kept our crowd dancing and singing through the night. We couldn't have asked for a better person to DJ our special day.

Most fun wedding in the world!
I am so glad I decided to work with Hessen Entertainment! Michael was our dj for our wedding and it killed it! He was able to make all the guest so excited for when the wedding party made their introductions into the reception. He really made the vibe of the wedding soooo much fun for everyone at the wedding of all age groups! I have never been to another wedding where the dance floor was packed all night long! He kept playing good song after good song that no one wanted to leave! Most fun wedding I have ever been to and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding!

The Amazing Mike Hesson
If you are looking for an amazing DJ, with years of experience, and energy to keep the party rocking look no further! When planning our wedding we wanted to give ourselves as much time as possible on the dance floor, we also wanted to be able have multiple dedication and family tradition dances, provide a list of music that we wanted played, and still give our guests flexibility to place requests. Mike provided it all! To start, Mike is extremely professional and his experience in the industry shows. While we had a few calls with Mike throughout the planning process what really impressed us was the hour long call he had with us the week of the wedding. This allowed us to make sure our schedule was all figured out and removed any worries for the weekend. Once again, Mike used his experience to help facilitate an amazing schedule. Even with a few changes during the evening Mike was flexible and helped make our night unforgettable. Mike arrived to our reception almost 2 hours before any guests did to make sure he had plenty of time to set up. From start to finish Mike was on top of everything! While a lot of the music was from a playlist we created, our guests were still able to make requests which only added to the fun of the evening. Our families had an absolute blast and we could not have asked for a better DJ! Thanks Mike!

Amazing DJ Services
We booked Hesson Entertainment after our original DJ fell through three months before our wedding. After a quick panic, I reached out to multiple people including my photographer, wedding coordinator and a friend who is a wedding planner for DJ recommendations and they all recommended Hesson Entertainment. I emailed Mike and he responded quickly and I knew he would be a perfect choice. From the first email to the final call with our DJ, David the process was so easy and stress free. They offer an online music dashboard which made the process for picking songs even easier. Our DJ, David was amazing, he made the whole night fun, keep everyone on the dance floor and ran the reception on schedule. I also added pink up lights which made the venue feel romantic and fairy tale like. I highly recommend Hesson Entertainment for your wedding!

DJ Craig / Chazon was incredible!
We booked with Hesson early on and because they'd been to our venue before. They gave us a referral discount as well. We were lucky enough to get paired with DJ Craig, who was amazing throughout the process. We had multiple check-ins before the wedding, worked out the timeline, and when the wedding came around, DJ Craig (Chazon) was awesome. He led the whole night, kept the crowd engaged, had a great sense of the dance floor, and we couldn't have hoped for any better. We highly recommend Hesson, in particular DJ Craig, if you want a smooth and super fun wedding!

Great to work with
My husband and I met Mike at a Northern Virginia Wedding Expo. He immediately impressed us with his professionalism and honesty - he didn't act like a salesman trying to make money. We had a rather unique wedding day planned, with two ceremonies and music from two very different genres. Mike was open and honest about his previous experience and was excited to take on the challenge. He really wanted to learn about our wedding day and the people involved. Planning was very easy with the online portal, and we were able to customize EVERYTHING about our day. Mike was also very responsive to questions and able to acquire specialized music easily. We appreciate that he never rushed us or made us feel like a bother. During the wedding day, Mike was setup on time and smoothly and followed our timeline perfectly. During the reception, he was very energetic and did a great job of accommodating requests for special songs from our guests. We were also a bit behind schedule so Mike helpfully suggested that we move the cake cutting up before the first dance to maintain the flow of the night. His default package also brings fun lighting effects. Another thing that was very important to us was proper pronunciation of all of the names of our wedding party, and Mike absolutely NAILED it. He worked with us several days prior to the wedding and the morning of to make sure he had all of the pronunciations correct. Small gestures like that really meant a lot to us. Mike gave us a great value in both price and quality, and we were so happy to have him be part of our wedding. It was definitely one of the easiest parts of the process!

Best in the Region
For starters, Mike Hesson is next level. His level of professionalism and knowledge of the industry made the whole planning process a breeze. I highly recommend you tackle music choice, and options the first second you get. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, but the tools that are offered to you make it so simple. Mike is a individual that we have always had a pleasure speaking with. The day of our wedding, the music was great, the timing, the lights, just overall was 100%.

Accommodating & fun!
Mike Hesson was the perfect DJ for our wedding. The music dashboard was easy to use and helpful for setting expectations. His service also came with up lighting which added to the romance of the evening. Mike served as master of ceremonies and chose appropriate music for the crowd - everyone was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! Even those who "don't dance." Highly recommended.

True Wedding Professionals
We are so happy we worked with Hesson Entertainment for our wedding at Bristow Manor. Michael was our DJ for the night an provided music and microphones for our ceremony as well as DJ-ing our reception. We had a call with Michael a few weeks prior to our wedding and it eased so much of my wedding stress! Michael is a true professional and he walked us through our potential timeline and made me feel very reassured that our night would go according to plan. The online platform was easy to work with and it let us chose our must-plays and communicate any important changes to Michael. The day of everything went off without a hitch and our guests raved about how much fun they had!

Easy Communication and Excellent Service
Hesson Entertainment did an amazing job at our wedding! Michael was easy to communicate with during our initial planning call (about one year before the wedding) and then in the last few weeks before it. The online system was simple and straightforward and allowed us to make various playlists and update our timeline and specific songs. David was our actual DJ and he did an amazing job! We had a phone call with him a few days before the wedding and it helped me feel very confident going into the weekend--he was friendly yet professional and obviously brought a lot of experience to our wedding. He followed our schedule perfectly and played the perfect mix of music. Our guests raved about the music all weekend long!
Beyond the easy communication and the high quality service at our wedding, David did two small things that really showed how great he was. First, as soon as my husband and I sat down at our sweetheart table with our dinners, he came by and said "Here's a quick pro tip. People are going to stop by your table on their way to the buffet and talk with you. Eat while you can and whenever you have a minute because they will interrupt you." I really appreciated that tip and he was right--we decided not to talk to each other and just focused on eating most of our plates quickly, and then did not feel annoyed (or hungry!) when people did stop by and chat with us. Second, we had requested no line dances. The last 45 minutes of the reception were a lull on the dance floor and he found us and said "A few people are requesting some line dances. Do you want me to say no or is it ok to play some?" We said it was fine, and I appreciated that he asked because the empty dance floor was stressing me out a little and the Cha Cha Slide got it filled up again. It was nice that he was willing to respect our wishes but also did what he could to make it a fun party.
Overall, working with Hesson Entertainment was easy, straightforward, and fun. I feel we got excellent service for a reasonable price and had such a fun reception because of David's work!

Michael was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He knew exactly what to play to keep people on the dance floor and had a Playlist that was spot on with my tastes. He was a fabulous Emcee, keeping things moving but also being flexible. I can't even count the number of guests who came up to me saying how awesome the DJ was! I would highly recommend Hesson Entertainment for any of your DJing needs!!

Hesson Entertainment was a great DJ service for our wedding in June. They knew our venue well, and were so reassuring in all our communications, that it took so much extra stress off our plates. Hesson has a great planning tool online where we could schedule out the night, add songs to playlists or "do not play"-lists, let our wedding guests log on to leave song requests, and more. Our DJ for the day was Dave P., and he was AWESOME. We had planning calls with both him and Mike Hesson the few weeks before the wedding to get everything straightened out, and everyone was very responsive to emails. We're still hearing back from our guests that the music was great! Everything was set up on time for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, he MC'd the night perfectly, and the dance floor lights and uplighting for our reception were absolutely perfect. So glad we booked with Hesson for our day!

Michael and his team were outstanding! We worked with Michael through the planning process and then were connected with Chazon who ran our event the day of! We had meet Chazon at our friends wedding a year before and loved his style! The night flowed perfectly, he adapted quickly to music request and really set the mood for the entire event. We had 5 or 6 songs just for people to walk down the aisle to and the transitions were perfect! We had the ability to enter "must have" musical selections as well as a list of those songs we didn't want to have played at the wedding. They customized each part of the day from the ceremony, the cocktail hour, dinner and dancing!

Hesson entertainment was definitely the right choice for our wedding! Michael is very responsive and so easy to work with. His website is easily navigable. A couple of weeks before the wedding, we went through all the details of the reception/ceremony and he had thought of everything. We had DJ David, who had a great fun energy, was down to earth, calm, super accessible and very helpful. We were able to have a phone call chat with him prior to booking Hesson Entertainment, so we knew who our DJ would be months in advance. Our guests loved him, and we’ve received many post-wedding compliments about our DJ. David arrived early, was adaptable in our venue space, and flexible with some venue noise restrictions that we had forgotten about. Highly recommend!

Hesson Entertainment did a phonomal job at our wedding! Everything that was played was perfect. Michael kept the crowd energized, communicated clearly, was easy to understand, was fun and friendly, and was professional. We had beautifully placed uplights, a very fun Photo Booth, and high quality sound for the entire night. Everyone could hear our officiant during our ceremony and everyone could hear the toasts during the reception. Michael did a great job keeping our reception flowing on time and made sure guests knew exactly what was going on. We are thrilled that Hesson Entertainment was a part of our big day! Everything was perfect and we had so much fun on the dance floor!

We had great experience with Michael Hesson. He got all the song that we wanted to play in our wedding and made arrangements so our wedding will flow smoother during the ceremony. Great pricing and he met our expectations.

Great company to work with! Responsiveness, value, and professionalism were very much appreciated. Other DJ companies were a bit difficult to reach and/or couldn’t confirm who would be the DJ at our wedding. At the prices they wanted to charge, I should have been able to confirm up front who the DJ would be and make sure they fit our guest crowd. I was so happy to work with Mike. We discussed styles, I spoke with him and the DJ, had clear lines of communication, and everything was perfect on my wedding day.

Mike has done a great job for both of our daughters' weddings! He has a terrific system of planning out the wedding and reception with the songs of our choice. He is very professional, almost choreographs the event, and is responsive to the changes that naturally occur on that day. We wouldn't do a wedding without Mike!

Hesson entertainment was amazing for our wedding reception. The music was perfect, they were very flexible and made that part of the wedding planning so easy. The lighting and set up was perfect. Couldn't ask for a better bunch of folks to handle a reception.

Nice, reliable, great communicator, organized, and seriously awesome! Hesson entertainment exceeded all expectations! We had Mike who went above and beyond the call of duty the night of our wedding--helped keep our caterer on schedule throughout the night and stayed later than scheduled because we were having so much fun. Very official yet incredibly intuitive to our specific desires-- by the end of the night, we felt like he was a long time family friend! My dad said "your four other siblings--i don't know who they will marry, but we will definitely use Hesson!". Literally worth every penny.

Michael was such a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive to emails, and accommodated an earlier arrival/setup time to fit with our schedule. Our template for our photos matched our theme so well!! I love how it came out! The assortments of props were great, and people had such a blast in the photo booth! He sent over the images before we'd even got back to the hotel from the wedding! Thank you for everything!!!

We got the DJ package with uplighting as well as the photobooth. Michael was always very responsive via email and answered all my questions. The phone consultation immediately before the wedding was very detailed and went over everything we wanted on the big day. We used Hesson Entertainment's DJ services for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. Our DJ, Chazon, was (simply put) amazing. Many of our guests told us that they had never seen a better DJ! He read the crowd perfectly and mixed in our song requests with what he thought would be best. We also loved the photobooth! It was so fun to take a break from dancing and go take goofy photos with our friends and family. Hesson Entertainment is your one stop shop for all your wedding entertainment needs! Definitely recommend :)

We randomly found Hesson entertainment at a Wedding expo and are so glad we went with them. They were super responsive to our questions and emails and made it easy to plan the reception. They have an online portal where you can add songs to multiple lists (must play, do not play, etc). They also have many tabs for top 100 song suggestions for multiple categories (father daughter, garter toss). He was super easy to work with and even the day of we had last minute changes that were accommodated without a problem.
He provided the music and speakers for the ceremony which at our venue was down a small hill, as well as microphones of the officiant and my husband. The uplifting was perfect as well! The morning of he even came to us while we were getting ready and showed us multiple shades of purple so we could have the exact shade we wanted which was pretty awesome of him to do (without asking mind you!)

We absolutely loved Hesson Entertainment! My daughter was married on 7/29/17. We used Hesson Entertainment for uplighting, sound system and DJ services. Michael (owner) was awesome. He responded to emails promptly, provided helpful information throughout the planning process and worked with us to stay within budget. We loved the interractive planning tool available through the company's website. The DJ, Craig, was phenomenal. He was a master emcee who kept the guests engaged and on the dance floor. Hesson is A+. We highly recommend this company and DJ Craig.

Great entertainment at a great cost. This company really cares about their customers. Our DJ kept the party going and had a great flow of music that we requested and kept everyone happy. Really helped direct the timeline of the ceremony and reception and was able to edit everything to keep things on time. Made the reception one to remember.

Working with Hesson Entertainment for our event was a breeze. Our guests stayed on the dance floor for the entire reception and had good things to say throughout the night. Craig, our DJ, did a great job from the beginning getting our guests hyped for the event and keeping the music going until the last song. Organizing the event was easy with a combination of their online tools and phone calls to talk through service packages, timeline for the ceremony and reception, and song choices. Uplighting was included in our package which was a huge bonus that made an impact at our event. The price was very reasonable compared to other DJs we interviewed and they delivered on the day of the event. Even our photographer commented on how much phone our wedding was due to Craig's excellent services.

Hesson Entertainment was great! We had been to weddings where the DJ was subpar so having a good DJ was important to us. Mike Hesson (the owner) was professional throughout the whole process – he met with us in person to go over what we were looking for in a DJ and to give us a background on his company and the DJ’s he has under him. We were able to have a call with David, our potential DJ, before booking. It definitely put us at ease and made our decision of picking Hesson Entertainment an easy one. Leading up to the wedding, the online portal was a great way to add songs that we wanted played at the reception, and David called us 2 weeks before to organize everything.
The day of the wedding ended up being one of the hottest days of the summer, and David was there around 2 pm working his tail off in the heat, setting everything up inside and outside. Everything went smoothly! David worked well with our other vendors, and once we opened the dance floor he kept the party going until they kicked us out! We highly recommend David and Hesson Entertainment – a very professional company and David exceeded our expectations as a DJ. He wasn’t overbearing on the microphone and he did a wonderful job controlling the reception (dinner, speeches, cake cutting, and dancing). We received so many compliments on how fun our wedding was!
Oh and one thing that stood out…we put a couple of songs in the online portal that were special to us and we wanted to hear at dinner. We ended up going outside during most of the dinner to take pictures, and when we went back in David had waited to play those special songs so we could listen to them while we ate. Wouldn’t have been a big deal if we missed the songs, but it’s just something small that shows that he cared so it meant a lot.

Hesson entertainment fit our budget perfectly, we got to talk directly to our DJ and work with him before hand. This helped us feel comfortable going in to the day of. Craig was perfect the day of, we had absolutely no issues ever. PLUS our guests raved about him, we still have people tell us how much they loved our DJ.

As a Bride, I found it to be stressful to pick out a dj. To many options and how do you know they are really going to be great if you have never actually been to one of their events?? We found Hesson Entertainment at a wedding show and knew it was going to be great fit from the start. We loved the online planning tool Mr. Hesson has. We were able to pick all of our music and see the timeline of events along with what songs we chose. David was our DJ and he was great! Many of our guests have complemented him, even after the reception was over. I also found out David provided my niece, who was singing a solo and quite nervous, words of encouragement so she wouldn't back out Mr. Hesson and David were always professional and top notch. You really won't be disappointed!

Very detail oriented and will make sure your services are structured to suit you and your event. My fiance and I were hesitant to book a DJ, but we were very impressed with how thorough Michael was. He went above and beyond to ensure our music and DJ services were perfect for our wedding day. He and our DJ made sure the music played was a good representation of us as a couple. Everyone was professional, friendly, and the services were just overall outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day. HIGHLY recommend!

Working with Hesson Entertainment was absolutely amazing and I recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and professionalism. We initially met with Michael Hesson (owner) and he wowed us with his experience and genuine interest in making our day about us and what we wanted for our day. He of course gave us his input, however, was great with planning! The online planning tool is amazing and made it super easy to let the DJ know what music we liked, didn't like etc. It allowed us to feel comfortable knowing we were set for our day. Our DJ David Pritzlaff wowed us with his expertise! During our pre-wedding phone call he got to know us as individuals and as a couple including asking questions about the guests and what we wanted. He kept everyone on the dance floor and when he saw it lagging he immediately found a way to get our guests back on the floor and it was perfect! They also did some absolutely amazing uplighting for us and the room looked even better for it! Thank you Dave and Hesson entertainment for being a part of our day!

Michael couldn't have been more helpful with the planning of the wedding activities. The online planning tools that were provided proved priceless when nailing down the wedding schedule. It was all super easy and intuitive. Our DJ David was AWESOME, everything ran smooth, there were absolutely no hiccups, tech issues, miscommunication, etc. David was fun, upbeat, positive and created a really fun atmosphere!

I cannot say enough good things about Hesson Entertainment! Everyone was so quick to respond, helpful, and accomodating. The planning tool made planning an absolute breeze! My husband and I had guest after guest approach us to tell us how much they loved the DJ. DJ Craig was phenomenal! He was able to get everyone dancing the entire night. One guest told us, "I don't know how much your DJ was, but he was worth every penny", and I must say that he was absolutely right. Other wedding guests told us that they were sore the next morning because they never sat down or stopped dancing. Not only the was music fantastic, but so was DJ Craig's level of interaction as the EMCC. He was never too intrusive and he made sure to stick with our planned schedule. Everything went off without a hitch. I would hire Hesson Entertainment in a heartbeat if I had to do it over again. They were everything we wanted and more!

They were awesome! They were on time, the lights they provided were great quality. The photo booth was a huge hit and the props were perfect. The best part was that we got didgital copies of all the photo booth pictures, which allowed my husband and I to see all the cool pictures. Lastly, they were cheaper than all the other quotes I received!

Michael Hesson and the DJ we worked with (Craig Perry) were easy to work with and helped make our wedding great! We didn't have too many specific requests, just that we wanted the dance floor packed, and they delivered! We also used their photo booth and up-lighting, both of which were great as specified!

Michael (owner) and Craig (DJ) were professional, detail oriented, and willing to work with us to plan a reception timeline that included all of the important moments! The online planning system was a good guide and they provided helpful tips and honest insight given their prior experience. On the day of the wedding, Craig was a smooth emcee; he kept the party going by playing the right songs amidst a very diverse crowd and adjusted in the moment as needed.

Michael Hesson of Hesson Entertainment was great! He was super responsive to all of my questions and was great with suggestion when I couldn't make up my mind with something on the timeline. Craig, our DJ was great! The music he played was great for everyone. We only had 80 guest and most of that was family that doesn't dance but my husband and I had a blast with our friends on the dance floor! We also had an Anniversary Dance and Dollar Dance and Craig handled those wonderfully! We had 8 blue up-lighting lights that made the rooms look great! I would highly recommend Hesson Entertainment for all of your Entertainment needs.

Could not say more positive things about Hesson! We got uplighting, which Mike programmed after an initial meeting at the venue, and had Craig for our DJ. They were both very professional, prompt at replying to emails, and organized. We talked to both Mike and Craig on the phone the week before and felt confident in their abilities. The lighting made a big difference in our venue feel and I'm so glad we splurged (though Hesson was MUCH less expensive than other vendors). Craig was the BEST DJ I could ever imagine. He played exactly what songs/music we asked for, cued the songs in and out as we asked, and kept people dancing the entire night. Our dance floor was almost too small for all the guests who wanted to dance all night! Highly highly recommend.

Both my wife and I were very impressed with the services they provided for our wedding. The atmosphere of the entire event was exceptional and we received numerous compliments from our guests on the lighting. David (DJ), did a great job emceeing throughout the night and we appreciated how he managed to keep all of our guests (young and old) on the dance floor. We chose to use their photo booth service and it was a huge hit with our guests. When we first met, Mike (owner) spoke very highly of his photo booth equipment/service he provided and it certainly did not disappoint.
I would highly recommend using Hesson Entertainment for your upcoming wedding.

I was pleasantly surprised at Hesson Entertainment. We used them as our DJ and for up lighting. I talked with the DJ before our wedding twice over the phone and met with the owner to go over how we wanted the room set up at the venue 2 weeks before our wedding. I found this to be very helpful in making me feel relaxed with the whole evening. The DJ knew exactly what we wanted and did not want. He knew how to get everyone out on the dance floor and what to do to keep them going. We were very surprised at the number of people who were dancing as we thought we had a group that wasn't going to be that into dancing. I would recommend Hesson Entertainment to anyone!

We chose the dj package that included the ceremony, up lighting, and reception music. We loved the website Hesson uses to create playlists. It helped to keep us organized and also helped relay the type of music we like and wanted to hear at the wedding. We spoke with Mike several times and a couple weeks before the wedding, we had a very detailed conversation about the timeline and our preferences. Our DJ also called us a few days before the wedding to go over last minute questions and details. The DJ was on time and set up in an appropriate time before the ceremony and reception started. He kept in communication with us the whole time to make sure we were on schedule. We were very happy with the quality of the service and the price.
