Dean brings a palpable addition of professionalism to an entire wedding experience

We had our DJ drop out 2 weeks before the wedding, and less than 24 hours after that we'd already had a video interview with Dean and knew we were in safe hands.

Our wedding was relatively DIY, and while our friend who acted as coordinator did an amazing job (get some stage managers in your life if you're getting married), having Dean's eye and wedding experience behind us added so much to our confidence level that everything would go smoothly on our big day. Anything that reduces stress levels when it come's to your wedding is much appreciated, so we were very grateful to have him on board. He gave amazing advice during our consultation before the wedding, and rolled with every weird request we made.

We gave him a relatively eclectic batch of recommended songs, and he absolutely captured the vibe we wanted. He gave us all the fun requests that guests made, and also appropriately told my dufus friend that he would not be playing dubstep for him when that was requested. He's a great emcee as well, and though we had friends take over a lot of that role, Dean did a great job of filling in all of the missing spots that required a fun/authoritative figure to hop on the mic and keep all of the wedding's moving pieces in motion.

He was recommended by our venue, Reptacular Ranch, and they were absolutely right to do so because he knows how to perfectly navigate that space. No easy task since the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all in different parts of a ranch. Dude even showed up early and helped me and my hungover friends and family put up decorations the morning of the wedding as he got his own setup ready.

On top of everything, he offered to work within our budget without us even needing to ask. It genuinely felt like he cared about making sure our night went well. And, yeah, the British accent doesn't hurt :)

Our guests LOVED Dean!

Dean was the DJ for our friend’s wedding, so we decided to reach out to him for our own. SO GLAD WE DID! From start to finish, he was a delight to work with. Dean is friendly, organized, and professional. He provided us with some valuable tips as well. We had multiple guests approach us during and after our wedding with such positive compliments on how he led the night. We cannot recommend Dean enough to host your event!

Classy and Sophisticated

I wholeheartedly second what other reviewers have written. He is so responsive to an email or text and quickly makes any edits such as slowing the music if needed. And then emails the songs to you so you can practice dancing to them.

Instead of the first dance immediately after the grand entrance, he suggested the groom ask the bride for their first dance after their welcome speech. We loved that, and it made the first dance so special!

He helps you with your timeline so your event is as smooth as possible!

I have been to weddings and have watched YouTube videos where the DJ keeps talking over the music and thinks they are encouraging the guests, but that is so annoying, and I mentioned that I didn't want Dean to do that. He said he didn't need to do that as the music is enough to get the guests motivated to dance. Almost all the guests were on the dance floor and stayed until the end of the event! Guests didn't want to leave!

If you want a classy and sophisticated DJ and emcee with a lovely British accent for your special event, Dean is your man! And he is so fun to talk to, he has wonderful stories!

Absolutely the best

This review is way overdue. Dean made everything about our day perfect. From helping with the timeline, to going over songs and planning the music, even helping us celebrate a birthday on our day. Dean made everything easier and he brought the party. Will be using his services for any party we have. Thank you so much for making our day even more memorable and special!

Dean truly did such a great job, I would hire him for any event! Great man, good at what he does!

I am so glad and thankful that we were lucky enough to have met Dean, he did such an amazing job and is so friendly and professional! Our Wedding was on June 11th, 2023. Dean made us feel so comfortable, was very accommodating in all aspects, and you can tell he is very good at what he does! I am 4 months pregnant and we actually did a Gender Reveal while cutting our cake, he helped think of some creative ideas in which I am very appreciative. Dean was very good at listening to our needs/wants, being so considerate and thoughtful, he really made us feel at ease and stress free. When I first spoke to him on phone, I knew right away he was the one! He really helped make our Wedding so fun and special! He definitely has a great sense of humor as well, I think that's such an important quality to have when doing this job. So all in all, if you're looking for someone that will keep everyone continuously entertained, and guaranteed to make you feel happy through the entire event, HE IS YOUR MAN! We would recommend him to everyone, trust in him like we did and he will help make your Wedding even more unforgettable!

Dean helped us make my Mardi Gras wedding the most talked about wedding any of our guests have ever been to. Everything went smoothly and as planned. He catered to everyone's tastes from old school to new school and even my Hispanic family. Thanks so much dean for all your creativity in making my wedding so much fun, and interactive.

Highly, highly recommended DJ for any occasion!

Wedding 5/13/23. Throughout the wedding DJ process, Dean Henderson was professional, funny, and (thankfully) patient with us. During our first Zoom call, he led us through many of the key decisions we would need to make, including timing, the structure of the ceremony and reception, and more. He gave us great advice that went beyond the music and much of which we incorporated into our day. He expressed a level of strategy in how songs were played that was so much more than we expected. He said he kept an eye on where key people would be during the reception to make sure they were present for any songs requested. He also said he alternated music genres to make sure all groups had something to dance to, and he would deviate from his planned music as needed to adjust to the crowd and make sure people were always dancing. And all for a very reasonable price that kept us under our entertainment budget! Dean made sure to let us know that we could reach out to him anytime with questions or advice, and he was very prompt in responding to all of our emails. He was extremely methodical and strategic about ensuring that we–as well as our guests–would have the best time possible.

When our wedding day came, Dean truly went above and beyond in making sure all of the details were finalized and that we were all on the same page, including making sure the venue was doing its job to keep us on schedule. He also provided some fantastic advice to us that made a *world* of difference. Since my mom had been seriously ill leading up to the wedding, my wife and I had been torn on whether to change the combined father-daughter/mother-son dance to just a father-daughter dance. Dean told us that it was completely our decision but also that, if I had any desire to include a mother-son dance, I would almost certainly regret it if we left it out. Once Dean said it, I knew that he was completely right. I am so grateful to Dean for his insight because it was such a wonderful moment with my mom and an experience that I will never forget. Dean was a consummate professional and balanced both my and my wife’s song requests and ideas, which was not easy given our very different tastes in music. So many of the guests told us that the music selection was perfect! Thank you so much Dean for making our wedding that much more special!

Simply the best

Your wedding DJ is also the MC and one of the most important decisions you will make. If you have the chance, pick Dean. It's your big day and you'll have questions and Dean has all the answers. He puts you at ease and is the most punctual person I've ever dealt with. I called him to introduce myself and see if he would be the right person for our big day. Unknown to me, he was on vacation in Thailand and answered my call at 3 AM. He's an incredible resource and we would absolutely recommend Dean - it'll be one of the best decisions you make!
Thanks so much Dean!

Dean was incredibly easy to work with, knowledgeable, and so much fun! He really helped throughout the night to keep things on schedule, and made each event within the wedding day feel special and fun. The dance floor was full all night!

Dean really made our night sparkle!

Dean is an absolute joy to work with! He has such a fun personality and really enjoys the meaning behind what he does. Another huge plus is that he makes the night ALL about YOU! He's fun and entertaining and gets the attention of guests (we had 300!), but directs the attention onto the people he works for.
He is much more than just a DJ; he helped us plan the events of the night and gave sound suggestions and advice based on his many years of experience. He really helped us make sure that the main players (bride, groom, parents, and family) and the guests were all honored appropriately.
Dean responds very promptly through email and is extremely flexible. I emailed him about a change in the Daddy/Daughter dance song a couple days before the wedding and he quickly and gladly changed it. He also can change/shorten any songs for you if needed.
On the day of the wedding, Dean was very helpful in making sure the night run smoothly (Including both the ring ceremony and reception). He followed our itinerary closely and made sure we had time to eat. Dean chose most of our songs for the night and they were all wonderful and fun. Our 300 guests all enjoyed grooving to his music on the dance floor. He also threw in some beautiful uplighting which added a nice touch to the reception.
His price is so reasonable for all the help and services he rendered. We're forever grateful for him and definitely recommend him whole heartedly!

Dean was great!

Dean was fantastic! He helped us plan a great ceremony and reception, and even brought up little details that no one would think about. He played all the songs we wanted, none of the ones we didn't want, and he made sure that the vibe of the wedding was exactly what we wanted. Dean was not too talkative during the ceremony like some DJ's we've encountered and also wasn't too quiet where you didn't know if there was even someone there. Dean was the absolutely perfect MC for our day, plus, everyone loves his accent. Thank you for a great day Dean, you were awesome!

DJ Dean was amazing! Everyone was complimenting his work the next day at our brunch and saying how great he was. He really knows the way weddings work and shares his knowledge, which is great since as someone planning your wedding it's likely your first time. He had all sorts of tips for us to make our day go smoothly, including taking a little time for ourselves for a last date before the wedding and giving my dad a first look before the groom. We were having the wedding at a venue he had never been to before, so he made a point to meet us there a couple months before the wedding even though it was about 80 miles away! Not everyone would do that for a client! He's not just a DJ, but keeps the whole evening running smoothly and coordinating with other vendors as well! All in all amazing and I'm so glad we found him for our wedding!

Dean made our wedding! Definitely the best DJ I’ve ever seen. He was a joy to work with and was so organized that it made things easier for myself and the wedding coordinator. He was very professional but also hilarious and very entertaining. My husband and I gave him a short list of requests and let him take it from there. He did not disappoint and we received several compliments on how great the DJ/music was. Highly recommend Dean for a wedding or any event!

April 2018
Dean Henderson of Royal Entertainment literally saved my wedding from the start. I received his information from my close friend who had hired Dean for her wedding two weeks before mine. I called her in a panic after discovering that the "close family friend" we were going to hire as DJ for the wedding had bad intentions. Dean met with me at my convenience near my parent's house and was extremely professional. He knew the venue and provided recommendations for where he should set-up, the best way to organize tables, and created a time schedule which we used for the wedding. He alleviated all of my concerns and I fully trusted him to do a good job. Prior to the wedding, he encouraged involvement with my guests to see what songs they would like/not like to hear. During and after the event, guests verbalized how much it meant to them to hear their song play. During the wedding, Dean arrived early, and ensured that everything was as we had previously discussed- from the organizing of the tables to the schedule of events. He is more thorough and proactive then a wedding planner, and sought my opinion while I was getting ready in the bridal suite to ensure that my wishes were being met. When there was an issue with table seating, as we had an open-seating arrangement, he brought humor to the event, fixed the problem, and kept things flowing. I will NEVER EVER underestimate the power of an amazing DJ. Dean Henderson is amazing. He kept the wedding moving. He noticed when schedules were not being upheld- such as a sunset photo session and brought it to the attention of the photographer. He reminded me kindly that I had chosen a specific time to gift my bouquet to my cousin. He was extremely accommodating to all of my guests- from playing requested songs to lowering the volume at my father's request, since he was sitting next to the speaker. I highly recommend Dean Henderson! He is professional, kind, thorough and patient- a seriously phenomenal DJ!

We absolutely LOVED having Dean as our wedding DJ. We met him early in our wedding planning process and he gave us the most amazing advice, not just about music, but about the flow of the ceremony and important ways to make our family feel honored throughout the evening. Dean has years of experience and really could be not only your DJ, but also your coordinator! And once the floor opened for dancing after the toasts and first dance, Dean really made sure we had a good time. He also made sure to play all of our salsa faves. Thanks Dean!

Dean is not only a great DJ but an all-around great guy! Our wedding coordinator from Woodland Hills Country Club referred us to him and we couldn't have been happier with the results. He was a joy to meet up with some 6 months prior to our wedding, offered helpful advice based on his many years of experience, made the entire process care-free and fun-loving. When you're assembling a slate of vendors for the wedding it starts to feel a bit like you're putting together a team of people based on their special skills.... Dean is definitely someone you want on your team.

Dean the DJ was absolutely AMAZING! He made our wedding, he had people dancing that never dance and such a wide variety of great music. He listened to us when we told him what we did and didn't want and had great control over the crowd without anyone noticing. When we were done dancing during our formal dances we just glanced at him with a nod and he was always prompt to turn the song off. We still have people telling us how fun are wedding was and this is largely in part to Dean. We cannot say enough great things about him and will recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Thank you for helping to give us the best wedding ever Dean! ♡♡♡

Four letters, D-E-A-N! We knew that Dean was THE DJ for us when we first met him (coincidentally while waiting to meet with one of the coordinators for our reception while he was waiting to set up) was his humor! He made us laugh during the 15 minutes we had while waiting. The one thing that Dean said (that we will never forget) which solidified our decision to hire him was his advice to make a date out of our meetings with the vendors. He said that it’s easy to get caught up with wedding planning that we might forget the reason why we’re getting married. Another thing that Dean said which made our hearts melt was during our reception, he suggested for us to just take 5 minutes to be alone may it be to talk or just sit together, so we can take everything in. Although we were unable to make the 5 mins happen, we truly appreciate and remember what he said. If you are looking for a DJ/host, please do yourself a favor and do not look any further because Dean is THE DJ you need and want. Dean is HILARIOUS! He got the crowd going, we even got compliments from our guests and asked how on earth we found DEAN! Dean is not just an awesome DJ/hose, but a wonderful person as well. We hope to work with Dean again in the future, because he brought life into our wedding reception. Thank you so much for everything Dean!

Dean was recommended to me by someone who sadly, ultimately had to cancel their event, but had such a good experience just meeting Dean that he sent him my way.
As soon as my fiance and I met Dean, we knew he was the DJ for us. It was very clear from the beginning that he does this not to make money, but because he just loves it. He has passion. He also had a lot of tips and ideas and we felt at ease. His pricing was also affordable, which is huge.
Our biggest gripe is that annoying "DJ voice" that most dj's have and is pretty annoying. Dean has an English accent so he is very pleasant to listen to and we were not worried about how it would sound over the mic or to our guests at all.

My wedding was a few days ago and Dean was amazing. He played the songs we asked for, and everything he chose to add was perfect. I had guests tell us the music was on point all night. He even came by our head table to see if we needed anything, or could grab us a drink. He really goes above and beyond. I cannot recommend Dean at Royal Entertainment enough!

From the moment I met Dean, I knew I was dealing with a seasoned professional. Dean offered to meet my husband and I before the wedding and to check out the venue. He helped us with the sound for the ceremony, cocktail hour and of course, dinner and dancing. My husband is super specific about his music and Dean allowed him to create a playlist for the cocktail hour. We gave plenty of suggestions for dinner and it was perfect. Dancing was great too and the dance floor had a constant flow of guests. We had a great time at our wedding and no doubt is it due to the music! Dean is great and I highly recommend him!

Dean was the absolute best vendor we used for our wedding! He was more than just a DJ, and helped us with every step of the wedding process. He's worked so many weddings, and was so knowledgeable. He went above and beyond normal DJ'ing duties. And he was pretty darn amazing at those, too! We held a destination wedding, and he helped us set the right mood for every event of our weekend. He was open to the music we selected, and was able to perfectly fill in many of his suggestions. We had an amazing time, and only wish we had a bigger dance floor. We highly recommend him and Royal Entertainment if you want your day to go off without a hitch! Thanks, Dean!

Dean was AMAZING!!! From the minute we met him, we knew he was an entertainer. He is hilarious, has hundreds of weddings under his belt, and he has an accent! He was quick to respond to every single email, he was always on time, I mean the guy was just perfect. He ran the show from beginning to end without leaving anything out. He played all the music we wanted, and even surprised us with songs that we love that we didn't think to include in our list. He was really good about keeping us on schedule and would let us know ahead of time when it was time for something, i.e. cut the cake, toss the bouquet, etc. and he learned who our parents, best man and maid of honor were to let them know when it was time for their speeches. The dance floor was never, EVER empty (and I am not exaggerating). We had a diverse group of guests and he accommodated to everyone's taste. Every single person we spoke to absolutely loved him. We had so much fun at our wedding and Dean is the reason why. Do yourself a favor and hire him, it will be one of the best decisions you will make in your wedding planning process.

If you want an awesome DJ, give Dean a call. He is very talented and knowledgeable. My husband and I and our guests had an amazing time at our wedding, thanks to him.

If you are looking for a DJ/MC Dean is your guy! He was the DJ/MC at my wedding and he made it fun. He made sure that everyone got on the dance floor. If you are stuck on what songs to play at your event he had quite a selection for you to review which was very helpful for me and my fiance. He made sure that we kept to the wedding timeline and everything went wonderful. My guests very enjoyed his accent. I highly recommend Dean for your next event!

If you're looking for a DJ that can also flawlessly serve as an emcee then Dean Henderson is for you! He's the best quality dj all around. Very easy to work with and communicate with. Dean would reply to my texts or emails within a couple of hours. Very impressive! He is happy to meet with you in your area instead of you having to go to his office. That's actually what he prefers (convenience for his client). Plus, he has a really cool British accent and their humor as well. About half of our meetings involved my (now) husband (back then fiance, of course) chatting about EPL (i.e.-UK Soccer) and Dean sharing fun or funny things he's witnessed at weddings. Ask him about the groom who hired a small person for "assistance" in the garter toss. ;) We will miss our meetings with him! Anyway, Dean did an superb job at my wedding --- connecting with the guests and had the right music selections to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. As you can read, Dean is amazing. I strongly recommend him. =)

DJ Dean Henderson of Royal Entertainment is excellent. You must hire him as your dj/emcee extraordinaire!!! Best price all around, highly personable, extremely fast at replying via all avenues (whether you contact him via text/email/phone call) --usually within the same hour if you're contacting him during normal business hours or before an ungodly hour. Dean is so easy to talk to you feel like you're meeting with an old chum. Not to mention, his British accent is quite pleasant to listen to & as the announcer at your special event, that's very important. Dean is top notch with a sense of humor & wit that is great for any special occasion. I knew from the moment I spoke with him on the phone that he was going to be my wedding dj. Also, he was so honest & accommodating with pricing. Unlike other companies that constantly push hiring a 2 or 3 man team (dj/lighting/emcee) at a high cost - Dean does it all with ease! A nice note: Dean told me he'd play harp music during my cocktail hour, so we could save a good amount of money on not having to hire a harpist (as we initially envisioned before finding out the high harpist fees). That was really kind of him to suggest that. He was my wedding dj/emcee earlier this month, and everyone loved him! He garnered laughs from my guests, and a handful of my friends mentioned how smoothly everything flowed. Dean is gifted at what he does, and is very easy to work with. Thank you Dean for everything! ~~~

Dean is my go-to DJ. He is AWESOME. He's professional, courteous, and has an amazing personality (and a sexy British accent)--which all come out in his performance. He reads the crowd beautifully, and he's an old pro at hosting wedding receptions. We got SO many compliments on what a talented DJ he is. He had the party going until the very end--no small feat! He was fun, funny, and extremely kind. I will always turn to him when I need a DJ, no doubt. Thank you, Dean!

I don't know where to begin!! Dean was PERFECT! My guest and family members personally came up to me to talk about how WONDERFUL he was! He made this day so much more perfect. He met with Us, even came to some last minute meetings. He knew what he was doing, and made the wedding so beautiful with the lighting as well. He even had the best suggestions for the wedding time line we ended up using! I'm so thankful for him and all he did. I'm sad the wedding had to end! He was absolutely perfect.

We booked Dean very early into our year and a half long engagement. From the first meeting to the last minutes of our reception, he was consistently professional, helpful, hilarious, entertaining and responsive. He has a lot of experience and it shows. His rates are more than fair especially in light of said experience and personality. I had no idea what to expect at our reception but Dean got everyone on the dance floor like I could have never imagined- even parents and older guests! He played the perfect variety of songs from all eras. He won't just show up to play a bunch of top 40 pop songs- he WILL work with you, your interests, your preferences, and he will give honest feedback and care about you, your story, your family, and not just a paycheck. Book him for your wedding or any event!

Dean Henderson was the DJ, Master of Ceremonies, light saber choreographer, and overall voice of experience and calm in the months leading up to and on the day of our wedding. His efforts were the reason our wedding and reception went so smoothly and were so much fun for everyone there helping us celebrate! He truly loves his work and is dedicated to helping couples like us throw the party we've always imagined and have the most perfect wedding day we can.

We met Dean several months before our wedding date and immediately knew he was the perfect person to help us plan and thrown the party of a lifetime. Dean was the first one who gave us a timeline that we could use for our wedding day, the first one who talked us through all the practicalities of the day itself even before getting to the reception and music, and the first one who truly made us feel that someone was there to take care of us.

Dean worked with us planning the music and timing for everything from our processionals to our grand entrance to our grand exit. He even developed a special routine for our bridal party during our grand entrance based on our vague descriptions of wanting to do something with light sabers and Star Wars! And it turned out even more beautifully than we imagined. At our rehearsal, Dean’s advice made our walks up and down the aisle go smoothly and predictably and allowed us to enjoy the moment without any worries! At the reception, everyone always knew what was going to happen next with Dean’s introductions and announcements. The energy and excitement on the dance floor flowed all night with an excellent selection and sequencing of music, some of which we had selected and some of which he chose to fit with our themes and preferences.

We cannot recommend Dean highly enough for his experience and the commitment he showed to making our wedding a beautiful experience. Thanks for your help and guidance Dean, and for creating a beautiful day that we will remember forever!

Dean Henderson is the best! Our wedding was not the typical wedding--young people, first time married, large party crowd event--that he probably usually hosts. So honestly, I wasn't expecting very much enthusiasm from him when we initially discussed my concept.

But Dean is a true professional. He launched into my project as if it were the best project he had worked on in a long time. He was respectful of our parameters, sensitive to our requests and made several creative suggestions which personalized our wedding reception in unique and precious ways. He even put up with my long list of very odd requests for dinner music--many of which he had never downloaded before. :-)

It was truly a joy to work with Dean and have him MC our wedding reception. He quietly and expertly guided the pace of the evening, without ever commanding the focus for himself...and he even succeeded in getting this stodgy middle-aged crowd on their feet and dancing. What a great party!

Thank you, Dean! You made our reception come alive.

Thank you Dean for making our day remarkable! Our guests loved you and so did we!

Dean's awesome. He's not your run-of-the-mill dude with a mic+music+speakers. I've been to weddings where the DJ will just play music without any fun emceeing or segue-ing between songs. He gave us an awesome wedding ceremony and reception.

- He's super flexible and resourceful. For our bridal party entrances, we gave him a list of songs to play for each couple and at what point in the song to queue to (to the second), and it worked out spectacularly. It made me as a groom extreeemely happy to see our groomsmen/bridesmaids entering to songs important to us with just the right timing.

- He's got great DJ/emcee instincts. During the maids of honor's toast, they mentioned two songs that were special to them and my wife growing up. On the fly, Dean pulled up the songs and very tastefully found a way to play the songs in the background of their toast and at the end of the toast, without having coordinated with the maids of honor ahead of time :) Great instincts and showmanship.

- He's a super hard worker and aims to please, not just the bride and groom, but the bride's parents, groom's parents, and the guests as well. He's got some really great ideas to honor all the parents.

Overall, I highly recommend Dean based on his vast experience, his DJ/emcee instincts, and his showmanship. You can trust him to give you a beautiful ceremony and a memorable reception.

Dean was helpful from meeting 1 to a week after our Wedding. He is completely professional at all times, is efficient and willing to work with what any client wants for their special event. He helped keep our timeline flowing on the day of the event and went above and beyond what we expected from our DJ. He not only is an incredible DJ, who plays great music, keeps the partying going, but he is an extraordinary person. We are so grateful that Dean was our DJ and now friend. We highly recommend him for any event! We will definitely be using him again in the near future.

I enjoyed just talking and getting to know dean, he was fun to have around and he fit in with our group very well. Dean was an absolute pleasure to have! A good dj makes great wedding and he had the crowd dancing all night long!

I did no want to leave this review yet as I have yet to email Dean to thank him for his amazing talent at our wedding. But I have started leaving reviews because I am THRILLED with everyone and everything that was part of our wedding. Dean was a huge hit. From the first conversation we had, to the very last, he is such a funny guy with such ease for a fun event. Music was one of my main priorities and we nailed it with Dean because everyone had a great time! he made our timeline flow easily Nd included every single request we had and was very understanding through it all. He was part of an unforgettable night and we couldn't be more thankful. Thank you Dean!!!- michael and mirna

He arrived early and was professional. He even met with us before and gave us great tips that we used. It was money wells spent.

Dean Henerson is the man! My wife and I recently tied the knot and Dean was our Dj for the whole event. First of all, who doesn't like a British accent? Secondly, Dean is very aware of the crowd and is very good at improvising. He was very professional and classy while he was smoothly guiding us through our marriage. The music was perfect and his timing for music que was on point. My wedding guests were primarily Asian, not a problem for Dean. My family and friends loved him and you will to. He communicates very well through emails and phone calls. We are very happy we went with Dean. His ratings are not a coincidence. Thank you, Dean!

Dean is awesome. He was our DJ for our wedding a couple of days ago and he was Mr. Smooth Operator. Despite a tough crowd, he helped our big day flow smoothly. He is very charming, has a cool "DJ voice" and is professional. He is a pro at what he does. His music mixing skills are on point too. We didn't have too much dancing since most people were hanging out at the bar but he tried very hard to get the party vibe and music going. He is GOOOOOD. I highly recommend him as he will not disappoint. Thank you Dean for helping make our day special!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dean and Royal Entertainment for our wedding day! Dean was far-and-away one of the highlights of our entire experience. From the beginning he was so supportive of our musically inclined ideas (which included having my husband curate the cocktail hour and dinner playlists, as well as my husband playing the guitar at points during both our ceremony and reception). Dean embraced everything we wanted to do and made it happen brilliantly. He was beyond instrumental in planning out the timeline of our day and his familiarity with our venue made this portion of the planning process a dream. And I haven't even gotten to his amazing personality!! Dean was simply the ideal DJ - perfectly present without being overbearing, able to read the crown with amazing insight, and just a stellar vendor to collaborate with. Thank you, Dean! You (literally!) rocked our wedding day!

Dean was absolutely amazing! We were so lucky to have him at our wedding. Before we found Dean we were really nervous about hiring a DJ... they can be so bad! From the first meeting, we were impressed with Dean. He talked us through the process, calmed our fears about music choices and made really wise suggestions on easy ways to make the day go smoothly. Day of, Dean was so helpful, punctual and organized. He was like the wedding planner we didn't hire. We would highly recommend Dean for anyone who wants their wedding day to run as smoothly as possible.

Dean was wonderful! Our wedding reception was multi-cultural and needed someone with experience to keep the guests on the dance floor. Dean met with us twice before the wedding and really understood what we wanted. He provided great suggestions (most of which we took), and wasn’t at all pushy if we decided to go a different way. He is not just a good DJ, his personality makes him a great emcee and just a fun person to be around.

The reception went perfectly! Dean anticipated what the guests would respond to, and the dance floor was full the entire time. We were really worried that with our mix of guests that the music would be directed toward one group, but EVERYONE danced! He played bangra (Indian dance music), salsa, hits from today, hits from twenty years ago, and really whatever he sensed the crowd wanted—and it was perfect! The music was joyous and, while it filled the room, it was not too loud—there were no complaints about not being able to hear people of about having to yell over the music.

I recommend Dean if you have an event with guests of different cultures and generations, are worried about an event going smoothly and want someone who can command attention and control a room with charm, or if you just want to make sure every one of your guests has fun.

Highly recommended!!!

Dean was amazing! He met with us 2 times before our wedding and went over everything with us in such great detail. He really knows what he is doing and we are so glad we chose him. We had some strange requests, like the Macarena for the mother/daughter dance and he was completely professional about it and never tried to suggest other songs or roll his eyes. We told him that we wanted the dance floor full at all times and Dean was able to read the crowd and kept the music going so that everyone danced the entire night. He really knows what he is doing and we are so glad we chose him.
His up lighting was also worth the money. The room was Beautiful in blue up lights.

Dean Henderson with Royal Entertainment made our wedding reception an evening to remember. I found Dean on WeddingWire. After reading all of the reviews and going to his website, I made the decision to hire Dean to MC our wedding reception. I'm so glad that I did!!!! He was very professional and extremely easy to work with. He arrived 2 hours early to set up and make sure that our timeline for the reception was just right. Dean made recommendations for certain moments during the reception that I would have never thought of. The whole sequence of events during the evening went off without a hitch. Dean was key in kicking off the toasts durning dinner, leading us into dances & cake cutting, and keeping all of our guests on the dance floor throughout the night. I wish that the night could have lasted forever- it was so perfect! Not to mention- everyone LOVED Dean's British accent......who wouldn't?!
Thank you, Dean, for making our wedding night so special! It was everything that we wanted and more!

After a detailed and intimate first meeting, we knew he could provide the perfect entertainment we envisioned for our big day.

Wedding Receptions should be a celebration and the ultimate party. That's what we got in hiring Dean to DJ my daughter's wedding. Finding the right people to make a reception perfect can be an overwhelming task. Dean is an amazing DJ! He is professional, calm and knows how to keep a party going. Dean also is very flexible and works with the personality of the bride and groom. The music was fantastic and all our guests, not just the younger crowd, danced all night. He also provides lighting or "Up lighting" which really added to the ambiance of the room. Dean is also very reasonable for the services he provides, you more than get your money's worth. Dean also provides a schedule for the beginning of the evening and keeps the reception moving. I highly recommend Dean, we could not have been happier.

We had a fantastic wedding and this was largely in part to Dean. He arrived early and had everything set up in good time. He then came up with a brilliant idea for our grand entrance which was completely off the cuff and based on something he heard in the vows. The whole evening went really well and Dean made it flow smoothly. The music he picked kept everyone on the dance floor all night, both young and old.

Overall we would highly recommend Dean - he really helped make our day special.

You do not want to get stuck with a bad dj on your wedding, so you have to trust me when I say that you will not have to worry about a thing if you hire Dean. He is so responsible, easy-going, professional, and has a great personality and sense of humor. Played the songs we wanted and kept everyone entertained!!!!
Thanks Dean!

Dean,
Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on our special day. You went above and beyond to find our special song, (tracking down an unknown artist, with very little information) just so we could dance to a special song. You truly care about your clients and their wedding day. You kept our guest entertained, were flexible with everything, showed up early, stayed late, you are friendly and easy to work with and always thought about us first and what we wanted. I have already recommended you to many of our friends! We couldn't have asked for anyone better, you were outstanding!
Thank you,
Robert & Amber

Dean was the most amazing DJ!! Our wedding would not have been the same without him. Every song created a specific memory in my mind. I had the best time at my wedding and have referred many engaged couples I know to Dean already. Honestly I want to have a second wedding just so we can use Dean again!!!! We love him!! He became part of our family that day!!!!

Dean was absolutely amazing in every sense! He did music for both our wedding ceremony and reception at Malibou Lake Mountain Club in Agoura Hills, CA (which I 100% recommend) and everything was perfect! He was the best MC and DJ ever - every song was "my favorite" and so much fun to dance to that I had to force myself off the floor to eat cake hahahaha. Dean is friendly, fun, responsive to emails and calls (returns them within an hour), flexible with meetings, relaxed and cool at the event and is a great judge of guests in terms of finding music to keep everyone happy. I would recommend him in a heartbeat for anyone and everyone!

Dean was an excellent DJ. From beginning to end, he was very prompt responding to our questions, setting up meetings, providing ideas and suggestions. Also, on our day of, I must say Dean was almost an additional coordinator for us, helping catch details and generally being VERY on top of everything. Needless to say, everything ran smoothly and we had a great wedding!

Dean is an amazing DJ. He is very funny, personable and does a GREAT job. Our venue coordinator said he was a pleasure to work with and highly professional. Our wedding was on a Sunday night and the dance floor was PACKED until 11pm!! The dance floor never emptied out, our guests were happy and it was so nice to know our reception was in Dean's hands - no stress at all. He kept our reception running on time and made sure all the major events were completed before our photographer had to leave. Plus the English accent was sexy!

Dean made our wedding PERFECT. He spent over 12 hours with us that day making sure everything ran smoothly. His charisma and personality were wonderful and my guests had an amazing time all thanks to him. I would recommend him to anyone for their special event. He is the best value in town, but delivers the highest quality entertainment possible. Your guest will be talking about him for a long time.

Dean is an amazing DJ but he's also an amazing planner and a professional. What do I mean by that? We searched far and wide for a good DJ Emcee who was flexible, knew what he was doing, could play to our Korean, Vietnamese, American crowd, and would help us through the entire night. From the first time we met, we went through the entire reception program and he emailed us a preliminary schedule. This is something most coordinators do but Dean did this for us. This really helped us in getting organized, knowing exactly how much time we had for our three costume changes, and he suggested logical things to us that made the night flow smoothly.

We sent him lists of songs and we talked over what was appropriate at weddings, and the meanings behind a few popular songs. He helped us find a musical identity but also a dramatic flair as the night was meant to shine on our wedding.

The Largely Asian crowd loved the DJ, saying his British accent made not understanding English still enjoyable (haha). At the end of the night, I spotted my mom dancing in her traditional Korean outfit (she has a bad leg, too). A good DJ is someone who doesn't upstage but makes the entire night flow from one thing to another so naturally and that's what Dean did. He was like the puppeteer and we were glad to be in his hands.

Reviewing some of the footage from the wedding, it was clear he was behind every great detail and idea that the Groom and I were delighted to be at the receiving end. For our grand entrance, we felt like celebrities. In the tape, I heard Dean get everyone off their seats to wave their napkins at us. These are the simple yet effective detail that made the night truly memorable.

Thank you so much Dean for being MORE than a DJ.

Dean is amazing!!! He was at our venue for about 11 hours; he was there early to set up and he stayed until the party ended at 1:30am. We had the reception venue from 5pm-2am and we were worried about finding a DJ that would be able to accommodate those long hours; and one that would keep the party going into those early morning hours. Dean kept the dance floor going ALL night; at 1:30 when it ended the dance floor was still packed. He catered to the different cultures that attended the wedding and made sure that he played the best music he had! He did a great job and I really appreciate it all!!

He helped us put together a scheduled timeline for the reception, he made great song suggestions and i felt like he really got what we were looking for in a DJ. I had the best time at the reception and Dean was a great part of that. Not only is he a great DJ, he is also a great MC, he is very charming and funny. I would highly recommend his services.

He was very complimentary to our entire wedding party and had complete control of our entire wedding, keeping the flow of the night smooth and on track, from beginning to end.

Everyone had such a great time and our feet hurt from dancing the entire night. We're still receiving compliments on how much fun our wedding was!!

Thanks for all that you did Dean!

He's very classy and his price is very reasonable. If we would get married again, we would hire him again! Thank you, Dean!!!!

Dean was absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!! He was happy to meet with us at the venue (a two hour drive for him) to discuss all the details to make our day perfect! He had a ton of great ideas that we were able to utilize throughout the evening.
Our guests are still commenting about how great he was. He had seamless transitions in the music from the time the guests were arriving, through the processional, and into the grand entrance. His music selection was fantastic all night!
I have been to wedding where the DJ's struggled to keep the guests on the dance floor. At our wedding, the dance floor was crowded ALL night long!
DO NOT hesitate to hire him as your MC/DJ. He is fantastic!

We attended a wedding reception where Royal Entertainment had one of his DJ's and everyone was up dancing the entire five hours. We hired him for our daughters wedding and had the same response from our guest. The music selection was great and all ages were on the floor. All of our guest loved the event. I would highly recommend this music service and would use them again.

Dean is incredibly professional, driving all the way to our home in Ventura twice to ensure that he understood what we wanted for our wedding. He is very fun & funny! Not your average boring DJ who just plays music and let's the crowd sort itself out. He is able to see what works and change things up beautifully. Plus, I think our dog Max fell in love with him....Dean, you'll have to visit him when you're in the neighborhood!

Dean was a fabulous DJ!! He was one of the first vendors we booked and he was likeable from our first conversation. You gotta dig that English accent. He provided suggestions and insight on the scheduling of our wedding so our day would run smoother. There wasnt a time when the dance floor was empty as he kept everyone on the dance floor with his fantastic music selection. It was a pleasure working with Dean and i would recommend him to anyone.

He gave us great advice and really took the time to get to know us. All of our special requests were taken care of (even the guys entering to the USC fight song). Dean is not only a DJ but an emcee of your event and provides outstanding service at a very reasonable cost. Not to mention he has a great British accent that adds a level of class to your event :)

Not only was Dean extremely reasonably priced, helpful, and well-prepared, he is funny, charming, and greatly contributed to the easy flow of the best evening of our lives. He listened closely to our ideas for the different types of music throughout the event, delivered what we asked for, and even made slight changes that only enhanced the feel-good vibe of our wedding. Plus, he's British! Am I the only one who thinks that that accent makes everything seem funnier and smarter? I would absolutely recommend Royal Entertainment to anyone I know who needs DJ/MC services for their event.

It was such a pleasure to work with Dean. He was very professional from the first meeting and so helpful not only as a DJ but with various inputs for our wedding day. He was everything he promised and more - fun, professional, entertaining and a classy DJ and MC. He really helped make our wedding day memorable. So many of our guests are telling us how much fun they had. "Thanks again, Dean!"

We hired Dean for our DJ and couldnt have made a better choice! We only gave him our intro songs, first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son songs, we pretty much left all the dance music to Dean's discretion and we are so glad we did -- the dance music choices were perfect for our guests and his timing was impeccable!

We keep getting compliments from our friends and family that Dean Henderson was awesome and we couldnt agree with them more! Even some of our married friends mentioned they thought their deejays were good--- but that Dean was better! My father had such a good time also! As a side note, he has not been so social since my mother passed away, but the music Dean played helped my father break out of his shell, even for just the night - my 75 year-old father was out there doing his own "moonwalk" and i caught him shakin' it when Dean played "Atomic Dog" -- so we owe a huge thanks for that little miracle!

I am also a wedding planner / coordinator and will have no hesitation referring Dean to my future clients.

Book him! He is worth every penny!

DJ Dean did such a great job from the first day we met him and began planning for the event all the way until the end of the wedding day. He was very detail oriented and wanted to make sure everything was perfectly planned. At the wedding he was not just a DJ, but also a wonderful MC. He was entertaining and funny, but not overboard or abnoxious. He kept the crowd excited and the party moving. I was so impressed with his level of professionalism and the passion that he has for what he does and making sure that he delivers supreme service. I will recommend him to anyone that I can with great pleasure.
