    We would recommend Chris to anyone!

    Chris was a fantastic choice for our wedding! Throughout the whole planning process he was responsive and made our musical visions come to life. I especially liked that he preferred over the phone communication, I think this says everything about Chris wanting to work with his customers on a more personal level than just being their “DJ”! During the event he carried out every single request we had and kept the crowd going, you can tell he has great experience with weddings and enjoys what he does. He was extremely professional but also personable, our guests thought he was amazing too!

    So easy to work with!!

    Chris was so easy to work with! He was always responsive and flexible. He was easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable and treated us like dear friends during the entire process. The night went perfectly in regards to music, and the process and order of events. It truly felt like Chris was looking out for us and making sure the night was exactly what we wanted. He went out of his way to find us and the photographer for sunset photos outside and communicated with us from start of planning to the last minute of the evening. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Amazing!!!

    Chris was fantastic! He was very quick to respond and very laid back and flexible. He does great work setting you up for the big day beforehand so once it comes along everything goes smoothly. We even had a last minute change for father- daughter dance and he had no problem adjusting to it and knocking it out of the park. Can not recommend him enough!

    Dance the night away

    We met with many DJs until we found the right one for us. We were looking for someone confident but not cocky, he had to have a positive attitude and be able to listen to our needs. Chris fit what we were looking for! He immediately made us feel comfortable when we were stressing out about our wedding planning. He created a custom mix for dad and I that surprised everyone! He made sure that my parents were present for every big moment (they disappeared to go to the bathroom) and worked well with the rest of the vendors. I I appreciate most his time management, and getting in all of the formalities so we could just dance for the rest of the night. All of our guests had a great time!

    Excellent, Attentive, and Personable

    We had an awesome time with Chris as our DJ. He was easy to work with, personable, and excited to make our day perfect! He read the room and was professional and communicative to make sure we enjoyed our special day. He made sure everything ran smoothly! We received multiple compliments from our guests about Chris and the music. Since he played such a big role in making our day so beautiful, we would highly recommend Chris.

    Chris is great!

    Chris was extremely helpful and conscientious with all of our planning. He was also incredibly easy to work with and "got us". During his meeting and our consistent back and forth emailing and texting he always made sure that he was doing what we wanted and he delivered! He was incredibly professional when setting up and throughout our reception. We can't recommend Chris enough for the work that he did and the effort that he put into the evening in order to make it a memorable night for us and our guests.

    Amazing 11/10

    We trusted Chris with our reception music 1000% and he delivered! He made sure that our ceremony went off without a hitch and continually checked in on us to make sure that everything was okay. We danced the whole night and created so many wonderful memories in the process. He is the man to go to for an amazing party and an incredible night of dancing. He got all of our guests on the dance floor young and old! He took his own photos that he shares with you the next day after the wedding, which came out wonderful. Amazing Job!!

    Best DJ We Could Have Asked For!

    Chris was phenomenal! He was up for anything we threw his way. He made us feel confident the whole way leading up to the wedding and was a blast at the wedding. The dance floor was beyond packed and everyone had a fabulous time. He really kept it going! I would HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding (or any event).

    Intuitive DJ

    We hired Chris for our November 2023 wedding and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made. Chris was thorough, intuitive, and timely. He kept the party going all night and read the crowd really well. I would recommend Chris 100x over.

    Wedding DJ

    Chris was the DJ at our wedding at Browns Revolution Hall. Chris was so easy to work with and such an easy going and fun guy. We felt like we had known him for years! He did an amazing job through all parts of the wedding. The ceremony to the dancing after dinner it was perfect. Chris gave us great tips on how to get our guests out on the dance floor and it worked wonders. Our wedding was truly the best day ever and Chris was a huge part of that. We would recommend Chris for any wedding or party. He is the best! Family and friends also mentioned after the wedding how awesome Chris was. We hope to cross paths again.

    Danced all night!

    We had the best experience hiring Chris for our wedding! He was incredibly accommodating throughout the process and with his years of experience helped us to create a night that us and all our guests would enjoy. We were on the dance floor all night and still have guests telling us what an incredible time they had! He was also an incredible MC and helped the night to flow so smoothly. Would highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding!

    Memories Made

    Chris took our wedding to the next level. He played the music we wanted and when he needed to get everyone involved switched everything up. He made sure all of the audio for the ceremony and speeches was perfect down to the last detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in working with Chris.

    Dance floor stayed packed all night!

    Hollister entertainment was outstanding from start to finish. Very good with playing the songs we wanted to hear and also very prepared for the day as well. The dance floor STAYED PACKED ALL NIGHT! He was very knowledgeable and his experience shows. He also took some pictures for us and a short video which is something a DJ doesn't have to do. He used that to make a Congratulations post on social media which was a great personal touch for us. You won't be just another wedding with Hollister Entertainment, great overall experience!

    Would 100% recommend!

    Chris had been recommended to me by a couple of people, and after talking to him on the phone I knew he was the one we wanted to hire! He is so easy to get along with and gave us his professional, honest opinions, which helped us make multiple decisions while planning. He’s also, of course, an amazing and fun DJ- our dance floor was full all night and multiple people of all ages commented on how great he is. Not to mention the uplighting he set up looked so cool in photos! He genuinely wanted everyone to have an awesome time and kept the energy going. I’m most grateful that Chris got to know us as a couple beforehand and checked on us throughout the night, which helped me feel more at ease throughout the whole wedding process. Would 100% recommend!

    Bride and Groom

    Great experience all around from beginning to end. Chris took the time to know us as a couple and combined that info, with our music likes and his years of entertainment experience to add the “extra” to our already special day! He made everyone comfortable, knew the right mix to get the guests dancing and made it quite the celebration. Guests provided us with great feedback on Chris, they thoroughly enjoyed our DJ. We would highly recommend!

    Chris Hollister should be your next DJ!

    Chris was incredible! Very professional and easy to work with. We had our first call and I felt excited to work with him. He definitely knows music and was able to provide recommendations based on our description of our guests. I did provide him a list of Must Play and Do Not Play and he followed the list very well while also adding in his flare. He had everyone on the dance floor all night long - I don't think I saw anyone sitting. My mom had so much fun that she did a split on the dancefloor! I originally had Shout on the do not play (idk why..) and I quickly decided I wanted to play Shout last minute, and he was flexible & added it to the list. He is overall such a kind, thoughtful, easy to work with person and his music and DJ skills were a huge hit!! He arrived promptly and actually played acoustic music for the first 30 mins before our ceremony as guests arrived. He covered our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception. It was lovely! I highly highly recommend him!
