Jillian Sent on 11/01/2024Santana Entertainment, highly recommend!
I can't say enough great things about Santana Entertainment! Santana was the DJ at our wedding on 10.26.24, and she truly exceeded all our expectations. What sets her apart from other DJs is her understanding of the science and psychology behind a great dance floor. Her many years of experience allows her to read the crowd and pivot and adjust as necessary.
Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she spends plenty of time getting to know the bride and groom, and their audience beforehand. She has excellent suggestions for what works and what doesn’t work, and that feedback was immensely helpful in the planning process.
Her equipment is top notch and she spends considerable time making sure she has backups and everything is setup for success.
I can’t recommend Santana enough for anyone looking for a true professional DJ for their event! -

Jenny Sent on 09/21/2024Totally Amazing!
Santana did my wedding last weekend and I have to say that she totally surpassed all expectations. She is very experienced and more than willing to make suggestions, not just with songs, and how best to help people have the most fun and wanting more, but she was also able to give us specific suggestions for the best layout for where to have the dance floor, where to position the DJ station, where to have the bride and groom, and the reasons why. Her platform is exceptionally professional with a list of songs to choose from that you can listen to, a way to differentiate what are must plays vs. play if you can. Then she has lists of song suggestions for processional, recessional, introduction, first dance, cake cutting etc in case if you need help. Her Timeline is easy to make and adjust. My wedding run of the day person complimented the layout for the tables/floor we chose based on Santana's suggestions. 2 weeks before the wedding the venue allowed us access to a larger patio to have the ceremony and Santana was able to have an entirely separate set up for the wedding ceremony there, and sound for the cocktail room and then be ready to go for the reception itself. My now husband hates to dance. When Santana asked me what percentage of my group would dance, I said "50%", my hubby laughed and said we wouldn't get that much. The dance floor was packed all night, even my husband was on the floor quite a bit, and so many people came up to compliment us on the music. She also suggested a "Photo Blitz" for us rather than having everyone get there pics formally done at the table. People loved running up to the dance floor with the music going, instead to grab relaxed fun pictures with us. I highly recommend Santana, she will take great care of you and all your needs! I included pic from the photo blitz, and one with my hubby dancing and actually enjoying it!! -

Abbie Sent on 04/18/2024The Best DJ!
Santana provided the best services you could ask for! From her online platform to wedding planner guide and day-of service, she is what made our special day flawless and fluent. Our guests were ready to dance by time the reception began with Santana’s choice of cocktail and dinner music. All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. My guests continue to comment on how fun of a night the dancing and music were. My family members have hired Santana’s services in the past and she was the first vendor I reached out to before booking my wedding date to ensure her availability. She’s THAT good. I will be attending weddings this summer that have also booked her due to experiencing her amazing work at my wedding and my other family members’ previous weddings. I truly cannot say enough good things about her! -

Jill Sent on 05/01/2022Phenomenal DJ!
Santana was a fantastic DJ! She shared with us her knowledge and experience in selecting music for weddings, which was extremely helpful for us. Santana is truly gifted at reading a room. My partner and I selected music that didn't really fit out guests. I told Santana that if our music isn't getting people on the dance floor, that I would like her to use her discretion in selecting music to get people moving. She selected a number of songs that got people on the dance floor and we are so happy we chose her to be a DJ for our wedding! -

David Sent on 02/23/2022Simply the Best
Santana was one of the first vendors we reached out to when we started planning our wedding about a year out from the date. I still remember our introductory call with her, we spent over an hour and a half chatting about music preferences, trading dance floor stories, going over our prospective running order and plenty of other things that had nothing to do with the wedding. Every other call with her across the next year played out the same way. She is an absolute joy to work with.
Her high level of care and attention to detail shined throughout the wedding day. She worked hand in glove with our officiant to stage manage the ceremony to perfection. Santana then had folks dancing during cocktail hour, while they were serving the salads and all through the evening. Our friends and families agreed that she was the best DJ anyone has ever heard. We have already referred her to friends getting married in 2023.
My wife and I think the world of her cannot recommend Santana highly enough! -

Erin Sent on 11/16/2021Excellent DJ!
Santana did an excellent job as the DJ for my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and executed flawlessly. She spent time talking to me both me and my mom to make us feel at ease. She's a true Pro! -

Charlotte Sent on 09/13/2021The ultimate pro!
We are so glad we had Santana DJ our wedding! She is an absolute pro. She was so kind, helpful and supportive throughout the entire process and on our wedding day she helped make sure everything went off without a hitch! The music for our ceremony and cocktail hour was executed perfectly. And she did an AMAZING job keeping the energy up and the party going at our reception. We were so impressed with her ability to take care of anything that came up throughout the wedding. She knew when to check in with us and gave us great advice if she felt an adjustment might be a good idea to help keep things moving smoothly, but always helped make sure things happened as we wanted them to, remembering every detail. She also has such great wedding experience that she was able to give really amazing advice even for things that weren't directly related to the music. On top of that, she was incredibly kind, radiated positive energy and made sure we were having a good time! The music sounded great and our guests had an amazing time dancing all night long! We would absolutely recommend working with Santana at your wedding or event. Thank you Santana! -

Santana was WONDERFUL at our wedding on 9/28/19. I heard about her through word of mouth, as she'd taken care of another teacher/bride.
Prior to the wedding, we had a few phone calls. She was able to speak to her professional experience and assist me with planning. She was accommodating with our unusual venue sound setup and made sure that we had music for each part of our special day. Her husband and assistant, Mike, was excellent as well. On the day of our wedding, she helped initiate some last minute tasks while my soon-to-be husband and I went off to have our first look and portraits taken. We knew we were in good hands!
From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception, Santana set the tone. We created some lists for her in a client portal and gave general guidelines for what we envisioned. It was seamless! We had our acoustic favorites playing as guests found their ceremony seats, easy listening for a classy cocktail hour and dinner, and a really cool blend of classic rock and pop for dancing.
Dear Husband is typically shy on the dance floor, as are many of our guests. I love to dance and wanted that for our wedding. Santana DELIVERED. The dance floor was well populated the whole night through, we were sweaty and smiling, and even the people who remained seated were wiggling and singing along to all our favorites with us! Plenty of unintentional harmonies were had to many a Queen song :).
Before announcing anything, Santana and Mike made sure to notify the newlyweds first so we could prepare for the transitions. This was great for our dances with parents, the cake cutting, and the final dances of the night. It flew by so fast, I'm glad someone else was keeping time!
I contacted a lot of DJs in our search. I wanted a very specific kind of person in charge of our wedding sound. I wanted client-centered service, someone with similar music interests to our own, and someone who would be responsive to our guests on the dance floor. We didn't want our wedding to feel like a night at the club. NOBODY could match Santana's qualifications, professionalism, personalized service. She set the mood for each part of our day and kept things flowing. She was not at all intrusive in her announcements. Working with her was an absolute pleasure and I wouldn't change a thing!
Big thanks to Santana Entertainment! We'll definitely spread the word about you! -

Susan Sent on 08/29/2019Flawless DJ experience at Antrim 1844
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Santana. We hired Santana to DJ at our wedding in August of 2019. Our ceremony and reception were at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. Santana was already really familiar August of 2019. Our ceremony and reception were at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. Santana was already really familiar with the venue.
As we planned out the wedding, she worked with us to make sure we had the sound system worked out for the ceremony and reception. We also used her online forms to pick songs for the wedding party introductions, the special dances, and the general music for the dinner and party. The online system was really comprehensive and easy to use and we were able to find every song we wanted.
Santana is very nice and personable. She shared with us a lot about herself and made an effort to get to know us as we planned for the big day. She was very good about listening to what we wanted.
When it came time for the wedding, she was a perfect emcee. She followed the timeline we wanted and even quickly made adjustments when things had to change. The music arrangement was perfect. She knew exactly how our guests were feeling and played to the energy of the room. The music was also just the right volume. Loud enough to dance, but never too loud to have a conversation.
We are so happy to have picked Santana for our wedding. We will definitely recommend her to everyone we know. -

Olivia Sent on 04/16/2019Wonderful!
Santana was amazing to work with! From the moment we spoke with her, we felt like we were already friends and knew she'd be perfect for our wedding! My fiance and I had a great time selecting songs on her web portal, and Santana definitely honored our requests. She went above and beyond by offering advice and suggestions on how to make our day flow smoothly. We got TONS of compliments on the music. I can't thank you enough! -

Kathrine Sent on 04/12/2017This woman is a magician! We had a smaller afternoon wedding and most of our guests were older. She got our guests dancing and having a good time. She works a lot with the venue we chose and she and the day-of coordinator kept a smooth flow for the entire event. She was very accommodating with some of my stranger music requests (soundtrack from a movie) and really made our day special. Although we could request music, we chose to only pick a bunch we had to hear, wanted to hear, and did not want to hear and let Santana read the room. Her experience speaks volumes for how happy our guests and we were and we definitely recommend her to everyone! -

Jessica Sent on 12/31/2016Santana made planning our music a much less stressful task that we thought it would be. She took the time to get to know us, listened to what we and our guests liked and delivered a great night! We did not want your "typical" wedding music, and emphasized our love of alternative and 60's music. Santana provided the perfect mix for our atmosphere. We had so many compliments on our music, it was amazing. -

Nicole Sent on 06/06/2015Santana rocked the house at our wedding!!!! We really hit it off due to her personable manner and down-to-earth attitude. She is so easy to work with and is the coolest DJ ever! She has wonderful ideas and really focusses on the flow of your event, down to every detail. I asked for a party and that is what I got - a progressive dance floor that was PACKED ALL NIGHT! Our guests were up the entire evening, so when we went to greet them at their tables, they were already up and dancing the night away! Santana and I spoke at length about the major events of the evening and what songs to choose that would best fit our crowd - She knows what she is doing, so make sure to let her do her thing!!! We cannot thank Santana enough for making the evening so memorable. I highly recommend Santana Entertainment for all of your entertainment needs and wish I was having another event, so I could use her again. Santana Hahn made our wedding a hit and our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful she was. Loved her!!! -

Allison Sent on 09/20/2013Santana was AMAZING!!! Our first meeting with her lasted almost three hours because we had so much fun talking and getting to know her! We knew she was the right person for both our ceremony and reception. Santana knew how to keep the dance floor packed and guests were coming up to me all night saying how much they loved the music. I highly recommend Santana!! -

Stacy Sent on 06/17/2012We had been to two other weddings where Santana was the DJ and we knew before we were even engaged that we had to have her as our wedding DJ. We literally booked out wedding date around when she was available and we are so glad we did because she helped make our wedding amazing. Before the wedding, she was very responsive and very helpful in letting us know what to expect at the wedding. At the wedding, she did a WONDERFUL job of keeping things moving according to our schedule, entertaining the crowd with her charismatic personality and keeping the dance floor packed. From the moment dinner was finished until the end of the night, our dance floor was filled and hopping. We did not add many songs to our must play list because we trusted her judgement and we are glad we did. She was really good at getting all ages interested in the music and playing things that almost everyone in the room could enjoy at once.
After the wedding we had so many compliment us on the music and Santana. Santana is extremely professional and experienced and it definitely shows. We would highly recommend her!!
