    Dj abel was the best!

    DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for just from a few selected songs we chose. We got to meet with him three times and even squeezed in a last-minute meeting which he was so accommodating since we (bride and groom) were behind on the planning on our end. From the first meeting he was just so kind and we all clicked. He took song requests at the wedding which we allowed but he even asked us first if some of those songs were ok to play. Soo awesome! There was even one song my husband’s friends wanted to play from their earlier partying days at LSU that had an explicit title, and he asked me first (the bride) if it was ok to play. I was like of course yes please play it haha but I really appreciated him asking me 😊 Cannot thank Abel enough for making such an epic wedding and his setup was so cool! EVERYONE raved about DJ Abel and still does when we talk about the wedding. He played such great songs, and the dance floor was a hit! Our guests were dancing the whole night!

    Good Vibes and Party Time

    DJ Brian did a great job meeting our varied musical tastes. Specific song timing for special moments went off without a hitch and the background / dancefloor playlists fit our tastes and kept things light and elegant when required and brought the energy at an appropriate time. He did an awesome job helping MC the night so all our guests knew exactly what was going on when.

    Great DJ and Great Guy!

    Music and emceeing can make or break an event. DJ Parradox and the Wedding Entertainment Collective absolutely made our wedding amazing! From the outset, Dax was easy to work with. He walked us through all the different decisions that we needed to make, while making wonderful recommendations. He has a really helpful app to organize music, and made sure each aspect of the ceremony and reception were covered.

    Dax worked closely with us to make our wedding and reception exactly what we wanted it to be. He played the "must have" songs and did a great job of emceeing to ensure everything moved along on schedule. Of course, we had some last minute changes in the schedule thanks to an unexpected snowstorm, and he adjusted seamlessly. Everyone had a great time, and still talk about the dance club portion of the evening.

    As an added bonus, Dax made a custom shirt in our wedding colors featuring the faces of our cats! It was such a hit!

    We opted for the diamond photo booth package. The photo booth pictures were fabulous. Dax brought along an assistant to run the photo booth who is also very friendly and fun. Worth every penny and more!

    Now, we just want to come up with an excuse for another party so we can hire him again!

    Truly the Best!!!

    We absolutely loved working with DJ John! He brought such a fun, positive energy to the entire process and made everything feel so smooth and seamless. The Wedding Entertainment Collective is incredibly organized, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made us feel so cared for and genuinely excited leading up to the big day.

    And on the wedding day- DJ John was perfect! The music, the energy, the vibes- everything was spot on, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had. We are so, so grateful and truly cannot recommend The Wedding Entertainment Collective enough!

    You Must Book Them!!

    We had the most incredible experience working with DJ Parradax and the Wedding Entertainment Collective. Dax takes great detail to ensure the entire process is impressively seamless and meticulously carried out. The communication was extremely clear, perfectly timed, collaborative, and just generally kind. Dax’s passion and professional experience make him the ideal wedding DJ, most importantly his technical skills, wedding knowledge, and fun personality. We were very careful when selecting our DJ because we really wanted to find someone who not only provided a fun reception, but also a logistically sound ceremony and day. From our first presentation with Dax we could tell he was the superior choice. Whereas other DJ’s offered a quick chat and minimal info, Dax had an informative presentation that covered his prewedding process for inputting every piece of music into our day, information about ceremony audio quality, microphone options, speaker types, getting audio to the videographer, song timings and rehearsal advice, lighting information, Photo Booth information, and so much more. Every last detail is accounted for and the pricing is fair. Our ceremony and wedding events were perfectly seamless and our reception was incredibly fun- all thanks to Dax. Our advice- do not under any circumstance give your friend a Spotify playlist, or hire a DJ that is not invested in your ceremony just as much as the party. DJ Brian was also an incredible assistant and photobooth attendant. You could just tell this team was genuinely happy to be included in our day and were there to do the best job possible. We hope you choose to trust Dax and Brian with your day!

    Best choice!

    DJ Dax Parra is simply incredible. He was so unbelievably helpful with planning our wedding and selecting the music with us. All of his suggestions were top tier, he is truly a pro. My dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still raving about the playlist!

    Excellent Service

    As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working with DJ Dax for at a recent wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of his exceptional talents and professionalism. DJ Dax's easy-going personality and seamless communication made the entire reception experience smooth and enjoyable.

    DJ Dax demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and dedication to his craft. His ability to keep the crowd engaged and entertained throughout the event was truly impressive. The energy and enthusiasm he brought to the reception created an unforgettable atmosphere that kept guests on their feet and dancing all night long.

    I would highly recommend DJ Dax to anyone looking for a talented and experienced DJ who can elevate any event to the next level.

    11.04.2023

    My husband and I booked The Wedding Entertainment Collective for our wedding and are so happy we did! We went to a meet and greet at our venue and met DJ Dax, the minute we left him we knew we wanted to book him. He was so personable and you can tell he loves what he does. We chose to do the package with everything (DJ, cold sparklers, monogram, photo booth) and loved it! He made sure he played music we had requested and made sure we had a great time. He had the crowd going and our guests loved how interactive he was. Thank you so much, Dax!

    Shoutout to DJ John!

    If I had to pick one word to describe John, it would be PROFESSIONAL. We reached out to John back in January 2023 to DJ our wedding reception in September 2023. He was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire year, and he met with us several times throughout the year to orchestrate an effective schedule for our wedding, recommend many different music playlists for each segment of our wedding (he put a great spreadsheet together where we could drop in music playlists), and advise us on all sorts of details that go into organizing a wedding reception. He even accepted last minute music suggestions from us the morning of (which he didn't have to do). On the day of the reception, he arrived early, set up everything quickly, and owned it as our DJ. He was attentive to all of our family and friends that had questions or music recommendations as well. You could not ask for a better DJ for any event you have in mind, and John is someone you can absolutely trust. You'd be in great hands with him, and I know friends of ours will be reaching out to him for their wedding receptions in the future!

    Amazing Wedding DJ, Photo Booth, and Cold Sparklers!

    Dax was an absolutely amazing wedding DJ! Leading up to our big day, he was extremely organized and made sure everything involving him and his role were planned for. He had several meetings with us to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted from him on our wedding day. The end result of his organization was an amazing day of experience. He knew exactly what our goals as the couple was for our big day and helped us to achieve them. Our biggest wish was to have an amazing party with lots of dancing that would get everyone involved and Dax helped deliver that to the max! He was amazing at reading the room/dance floor and playing exactly the right songs to get the party going. He was extremely responsive to requests, especially from the bride and groom. We rented a Photo Booth as well and all of the photos/memories from it will be cherished for the rest of our lives. We would recommend Dax to any couple looking for a wedding DJ, especially friends and family! Thank you, Dax!

    Great experience with DJ Dax

    We had an awesome experience with DJ Dax for our wedding. He went above and beyond with superior organization ahead of the event to determine the schedule and MC the event. We selected music using his platform and he even edited a few songs for us to get them just the way we wanted them. His sound system was excellent (I mean so good we got complements on it) - both outside (with wind blowing and everything) and the indoor one for dancing (no echo and good volume control). Dax was an awesome MC and even helped imagine our grand entrance from the balcony. Dax helped us stay on time, and on schedule and we had an awesome event with him. Highly recommend.

    10/10 DJ - Amazing Company to work with

    DJ Dax, is literally the BEST! We had such an amazing time at our wedding. Everyone says the DJ controls the reception ands its absolutely true. Dax was on it with our timeline, made sure everything ran smoothly, was an amazing MC/host. From the start The Wedding Entertainment Collective was super responsive, professional, fun, and easy to work with... I could not recommend them enough for your wedding. I am still getting requests from guests for his playlist, where to follow him on Spotify etc. Do not hesitate to book!

    Talk about going above and beyond with John Collazo

    We had an incredible experience with John Collazo djing our wedding in San Diego. Even after having a severe emergency on his end he went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfect and smoothly. My husband and I were so thankful to have him for our wedding as he guided us step by step through the wedding process. 10/10 would recommend him and his team. Thank you John!

    Absolutely perfect

    Absolutely amazing!!!! Dax blew us a way by doing a far better job than we could ever imagine. Every step of the way was personalized to our specific wants. It was all very unique and styled to our desires perfectly. He worked very closely together with us to make sure our day was perfect and special. I would give 10 stars if I could. Our package included a super fun photo booth

    DJ Dax is the best!

    My husband and I would highly recommend DJ Dax Parra with The Wedding Entertainment Collective who was a DJ/MC/Host for our wedding reception in October 2021. He was really easy to work with, made it all about us and what we wanted, and customized the experience to us as a couple and to our families which made it extra special. He was friendly, kind, upbeat, uplifting and fun throughout the entire planning process and event which was a breath of fresh air during a naturally stressful time. He helped us to have the most perfect and fun time ever that we will never forget and I guarantee every event he works will reflect the same result.

    Helped make our day perfect

    Our wedding was on October 12, 2019. Our DJ was Juan Collazo. He was recommended by a family member. He helped make our day go smoothly. He was very helpful, organized, and an all around great entertaining person (Very helpful that he is also bilingual). He helped us perfect our playlists for the day, organized the sequence of events for the day and was a great MC. The uplights were beautiful, along with our customized logo that was shone on the dance floor. He had everyone up and dancing. Very thankful for all his help and Highly recommend him.

    Fun Energy, but missed some important details

    We appreciated the organization and proactive planning he maintains with couples leading up to the wedding day to help execute our vision. We appreciated his expertise in keeping the dance floor energy high, as that was a focus of our wedding experience for friends and family. We really appreciated his flexibility with the timeline for the parent dances while my dress bustle was being fixed. Overall, we were happy with the service and the guest experience. It felt like the big, crazy party that we envisioned.


    The only points we were disappointed about were the more personal touches that were important to us. We were disappointed that the groom and bridal ceremony entrance songs were not the versions of the songs that we had planned. This changed the entire ambiance of our vision at the moments that we will remember forever. Fortunately, our videographer can overlay the correct songs onto our video, allowing us to relive it as we envisioned, with the acoustic and correct singers on each song. Additionally, a few of our 'must-play' songs were not played during the open dancing. Again, we still fully believe the dancing atmosphere was electric, but we were bummed that we were unable to have those additional exceptional and shared experiences with others that those songs represented to us.
