They were easy to work with and our dj that night was great!
Derric was an incredible to work with, from the day I reached out to our final meeting two weeks before our wedding! We discussed everything from music to timeline and walk ins.
Fast forward to our day of - Steve our DJ for the night was absolutely incredible! He truly knows what he’s doing when it comes to being a DJ!
Our wedding reception was great! The dance floor was filled all night and everyone had a blast! Deric was super professional and organized leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I really appreciated the timeline of the reception events that gave us an idea of what to expect throughout the night. The lighting was perfect and Deric has a very nice announcing voice for the few announcements throughout the night. Everyone from all ages appreciated the music choices and we have gotten nothing but compliments! Deric was also flexible with including a reverse anniversary dance which helped fill out dance floor right before party songs started which helped the flow of the reception. Overall, it was a perfect night and the music, lighting, and Deric’s flexibility made that possible!
Any questions?
We found Deric through our venue LaVera and couldn't be happier. The care he took to completely personalize every aspect of our ceremony and reception made our day so special. The dance floor was packed all night. Everything went so smoothly from the processional to the last dance. If you're on the fence with the indoor fireworks, go for it! It added such a unique/fun experience and I can't want to see the photos. Justin manned the photobooth and everyone had a blast. Both Justin and Deric were phenomenal and I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
To give a gist of this DJ they are just as the name states, Absolutely Unbelievable! For starters Deric was the most organized and detailed person in our wedding. He planned every single second of how out day would go. If you are nervous about planning a wedding without a wedding planner I highly recommend AUE because Deric will become that for you. There was no questions about when to get up and do something, it was all scheduled and planned accordingly.
Next, Steve (who works with Deric) was our DJ for the reception. Steve was extremely fun and easy to work with. He easily hyped our crowd of people from grandparents to kids in their 20s. He kept the music flowing to what the crowd was looking for and we had a packed dance floor for the entire night (8pm-12am). Steve was receptive to everything I threw at him and made the entire wedding flow as if we have all done this before.
Lastly, Larry was our photobooth attendant. He made sure that all of our guests were active participants in the photobooth so that we could collect the photos for our guest book. He was attentive and detailed in making sure everyone had props and the photobooth ran smoothly.
My husband and I did get the BOGO, up lighting, and a photo booth from AUE. We recommend purchasing all of these. We had multiple comments from guests on how beautiful the hall looked and I credit all of that to our lighting. Also, the BOGO light up the DJ booth and was great for guests to take photos with. We highly recommend the photo booth if nothing else because this was the highlight of many guests nights!
Overall, I highly recommend Absolutely Unbelieveable Entertainment. Deric made sure that every moment of our wedding was planned perfectly and put our entire wedding on paper. We truly could not have asked for a better DJ. For all the brides and grooms looking for entertainment for your perfect night I suggest you look no further and contact AUE for you.
We used this DJ for our wedding and they did an overall good job. They did download the wrong father/daughter dance song, but luckily our best man had a phone with an aux jack and he was able to plug it into the sound system to play the right song (even though it cut out halfway through and had a long awkward silence). However, Deric was very friendly and accommodating. There was a lul in the party at one point because us and our guests were just too tired to dance and he went out of his way to check on us and ask what he can play to get the party going again. A little bit later everyone was partying again!
Deric did a fantastic job at our wedding! Very knowledgable on music, and very professional. He kept the whole night on track, and everything ran smoothly. The dance floor was packed the whole night till 12am! He offers cold sparklers- ADD THEM!! They were a hit! 10/10!
Deric was very professional and was phenomenal on our wedding day. He provided services for our reception and kept things flowing nicely. In the planning process, he gave suggestions and popular music choices without being pushy and in the end everyone had an amazing evening. he also interacted with the crowd and motivated everyone to participate on a game as well as pumping up a lot of great energy.
The Photo Booth was also a big hit!
10/10 would recommend him for any event in need of a DJ. His genuine goal is to make you happy and to make sure you have a great time and that exactly what he did.
Deric is a top notch emcee and DJ! He helped create the schedule for our reception and kept everything on track. He made it a point to include catchy songs across all genres and our guests really loved the playlist! The Photo Booth was also a big hit and we love the scrapbook we got with all the photo strips! These guys are true professionals and really know their stuff. I’d highly recommend them for any wedding!
Deric and Mike did a wonderful job with our wedding. Deric was extremely knowledgeable about every genre of music and was able to help us create well-rounded playlists for cocktail hour, the dinner, and the dancing. We were grateful to work with someone who was experienced, personable, and patient. He also helped us create a timeline down to the minute to keep things running smoothly and on time. Mike did the actual DJ-ing at the wedding and he was wonderful to work with, kept our guests on the dance floor, and kept us on schedule. He had never worked at our venue before and everything still went perfectly. Thank you to Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment!
Deric DJ’d my son’s wedding. He planned out and executed all the music and flow of events seamlessly. The lighting supplied and sound system was great!

Thank you Lisa for following up with a nice review. Enjoyed seeing all your family again and being a part of Logan's big day! I had a blast!
Deric did a great job for us! He was able to obtain a very specific song for me for my processional- it was special to me and all my family, and I can't express my gratitude enough for the time he spent to make that happen! I appreciated all of the time and advice he gave us during our planning session- he really helped drive and shape our reception. He did a great job facilitating all of our speakers, and keeping the dance floor busy all night long. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed the evening- it wouldn't have been that way without Deric!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2023
Great Wedding, great people, fabulous time! We always bend over backwards to make sure the Bride and Groom are happy and have the Reception they deserve. So grateful for the quality if the folks we serve. Wishing you nothing but the best!
Deric was incredible at my Nov. 4th wedding! He really takes the time to understand and get to know you as a couple and what you like. We spent 2 hours going over and discussing the itinerary and song list weeks leading up to the wedding. Which also helped ease my mind! He also plays to the crowd and the older crowd loved it and was working that dance floor! But there was a nice balance of genres as well. Lots of Taylor Swift as well cause Deric knew I was a swiftie. Definitely go with AUE!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2023
So much fun! You Swifties really know how to dance. I am so grateful you hired us and so happy we all had a marvelous time. Thanks again for your business and thank you for taking the time to write a great review! All the best!
It’s hard to adequately put into words how amazing our DJ, Deric was! From the first moment we met, to days after our wedding he has been there for my husband and I every step of the way. Our meeting for the playlist was thorough & Deric listened to everything we wanted! The night was amazing and the dance floor was packed. Not to mention the Photobooth! Our guest raved about it weeks later! We want to thank absolutely unbelievable entertainment & all of their employees for their hard work in making our wedding perfect. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE for ANY event!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2023
Ashlee, you are positively one of the most enthusiastic and delightful Brides I have ever worked with. I wanted so bad to make sure your Reception was perfect. You and your hubby were absolutely unbelievable! Thank you so much for having us ...
and I'm sure we will be seeing you in the future. The Sam's ROCK!
Deric was very professional & really wants the best for his couples. We went over everything for the reception at our final music meeting & Deric was very thorough & a big help with our timeline. We also had our photo booth with them that we used as our guest book. There were a couple hiccups throughout the day but overall our guests loved the music & had a great time. Just make sure they double check the burned CD for all the songs & the date is right on your photos at the photo booth :)

Sarah, really enjoyed your Wedding Reception at the Crown Plaza DTC. It was a riot. Do apologize profusely about a few technical issues. We try so hard for everyone to make things perfect but once in a while a small issue pops up. In the wh...
ole scheme of things the 2 issues we spoke about probably concerned less than 1% of the evenings presentation. But we in the DJ business know all too well that even a tiny glitch at a wedding draws an inordinate amount of focus. I am happy your Reception went well and your guests enjoyed themselves and was particularly impressed by the Staff at the Crown Hotel comments to us that we were one of the best DJ Companies they had seen pass through their venue! All the best!
Amazing to work with! Made it very simple for the playlist and the day of. Immediately we were out on the dance floor! Excited that they were a big part of our day!! Highly recommend!!!
Had Deric himself for our Oct 1 2023 wedding and it was perfect!! Timeline was the correct amount of speed to get everyone on the dance floor sooner and with his music choices people never left the dance floor! Photo Booth was such a plus and guests loved it so much!! Deric also allowed us to add in an activity during the party as well and it was so fun! I couldn’t recommend him more and will be using him in the future if we have more parties!!

This night was amazing! Thank you to Deric for making sure the dance floor was never empty! The fireworks were an amazing touch! And our guests loved the Photo Booth! Thank you!

A Wedding that was over 2 years in the making. So happy you enjoyed all the different facets of your Reception. The dance floor was filled, the Photo Booth was a big hit and the Indoor Fireworks (cold sparklers) really wowed your audience. T...
hank you for having us and writing a nice review!
Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment was really great to work with planning the wedding outline. We went step by step and it made the wedding go really smooth. DJ Steve was absolutely amazing and did a wonderful job. He went the extra mile to help us out during the wedding. The professionalism was top notch. I Highly recommend!
Deric was the DJ for our wedding reception at Gervasi Vineyard. From the very beginning of the planning process, he was a huge help with our wedding day timeline. He was quick to respond and insightful with all questions that we had. We met with him to go through the timeline for the entire day including all our song selections for both cocktail hour and reception, name pronunciations, special dances, toasts, cake cutting… every detail. Deric’s thoroughness and organization was the reason our reception went according to plan without any confusion. His knowledge of music and understanding of what we wanted to play kept everyone dancing all night.
Deric was more than just a DJ but a MC as well. He helped our night run smoothly by sticking to our planned timeline and making announcements accordingly. He provided a microphone for speeches and toasts throughout the night. In addition to the sound equipment, we also had Deric place uplights throughout or venue which really added to our overall décor.
Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment is affordable and well worth the investment. We would recommend to anyone in the Cleveland area. Deric is familiar with working events at Gervasi which was helpful for our reception.
Thank you for an incredible wedding reception!
I will preface this that I was not a DJ person before my wedding, but now I absolutely am!! DJ JT was the best person for our 160 person ethnic wedding. He was so flexible with our needs. We brought in outside music, had an emcee, and spoke half the time in a different language. And DJ JT was completely there for it. We met with Deric, the head DJ and owner, beforehand and we went song by song, picking the playlist for the wedding. Nothing was left to chance! It was an absolutely unbelieveable experience. Everyone came up to us and told us how great the DJ was at reading the room and we had 75% of our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Thank you to Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment for being so incredibly flexible and professional!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2023
What a wonderful review. John, our DJ is delighted you were so happy. It was a fun and lively Reception with some great people! We couldn't do it alone. Your whole group rocked! Thank you for having us and best wishes!
Mike from Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment was the absolute best! He kept the timeline moving while creating such a fun atmosphere. I didn’t have to worry about anything, as he checked in multiple times throughout the night to give us a heads up when things were about to happen (first dance, bouquet toss,etc) I can’t possibly recommend Mike enough, he was wonderful. Thank you to Deric and especially Mike for an absolutely unbelievable party!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2023
Mike was very grateful for your review. He REALLY enjoyed your group and spoke highly of your guests not to mention the Groom and Bride. Beautiful setting, great weather and a dynamite Reception. Can't get better than that! Best wishes!
Great experience working with AUE! Deric was very responsive and detailed in the planning of our timeline and music menu. He takes the time to go through every detail and song to make sure things are perfect for the big day. John did a great job DJing for our wedding and even tried to help out with keeping up on track when our coordinator was slacking. We didn't have much of a dancing crowd, but people still loved the music that was played. Christina also did a great job running the photobooth - which was a huge hit throughout the night! I love the photobook and flash drive we get from the photobooth too. Would highly recommend this company for any future brides and event planners!
Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment (DJ Deric) was our DJ for our wedding at The Barn at Hart’s Grove and made our music dreams come true! From start to finish he went above and beyond to make sure our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour & reception was perfect! He was organized, attentive, professional, and experienced. We appreciated him taking time getting to know us and going through each detail of the event very thoroughly. Deric gave us good suggestions for our wedding timeline and music selections. The DJ ultimately really sets the vibe for the whole wedding, and I can say we DEFINITELY had a party! He did a great job keeping the dance floor packed the entire night! The photo booth that came in our package was a BIG hit! GREAT PROPS! They even made us a guestbook that was signed by our guests with all the picture slides that were taken in the photobooth throughout the night. We will have these memories forever! We received a TON of compliments on him the night of and the days following our wedding. He was worth every penny we paid! Because of Deric, our wedding was a dream come true! We would highly recommend him and his staff for any wedding or event where you want to have a GREAT time!!
Had the best experience with Deric (owner), Mike (DJ) and Larry (Photobooth). Each of them were a pleasure to work with, very communicative and an overall delight. Deric helped create a timeline and Mike helped stick to it! Larry was wonderful in helping to capture memories in the photobooth! I highly recommend Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment!!
Steve was our DJ for the night and he did an excellent job! He handled our outdoor ceremony and reception wonderfully. He knew how to read the room and keep the people dancing! I also appreciate the pre-wedding meeting we had with Deric, the owner, to set up our timeline and music wishes. Well worth the time to make sure the selection included everything we were looking for. I would recommend 10/10!!
Amazing DJ!! I am so thankful that we found Deric for our wedding. He made our day so special and perfected everything. He sits down with you and goes through every detail to make your day exactly what you want. We got the photo booth which was a hit and they gave us a personalized photo album with copies of all the pictures. Our favorite part (which made the perfect pictures) was the indoor fireworks. People were raving about him and the entire experience that he gave us. Thank you so much Deric!!!
Our wedding day as perfect! Structured, organized, with plenty of laughs, all thank you to our amazing DJ Deric! We can't thank him enough for all that he did prior to our wedding and especially the day of. If it wasn't for him I think we would have been all over the place but he made sure we stuck to the timeline and would drop hints at what was going to happen next. I'm not kidding when I say I felt more support and direction from Deric, the DJ than we did from our event coordinator. Deric was so fun and entertaining that when we felt the party ended too soon. It was just too much fun!
Deric is amazing! He is such a nice guy and really knows what he is doing. He spends lots of time with you asking for every detail to make sure everything is perfect. He is also reasonably priced and has different options for everyone depending on your budget. The music was exactly what we asked for and the photobooth was a huge hit! We could not have been happier!!
Amazing DJ! Played all the songs we asked for and had us dancing all night long. Absolutely loved them!
Derik was AMAZING! He kept my guest dancing all night long, and made our special day so memorable. Everybody loved the photo booth and the album with little messages from everyone is one of my favorite keepsake of the night.
D.J Deric was 100% the best!
Deric out did himself. Every song we asked for was played at the right moment. He helped keep the flow of events on time and most importantly - he kept everyone on the dance floor. I can not even tell you how many of my guest told me we had the best D.J. Book him!! You will be so glad you did.
Absolutely unbelievable!
If you want a seemless, carefree, perfect wedding, then my guy Deric over at Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment is the call you need to make. From our very first meeting to the very last, Deric was so knowledgeable and hulpfull through the entire process. From going over sound and lighting options to song selection to coordinating the wedding ceremony and reception. It's an impossible value going with this gentleman as you get so much more than a DJ. It was almost as if he was our wedding planner as well as he had the entire wedding planned down to the minute as far as the event/entertainment was concerned. He spent over 2 hours a few weeks before the wedding sitting down and chatting with us about each song and different recomendations. The day of the wedding we didnt have to think about a thing and could just focus on each other. He made the whole day just so effortless and stress free for us. I never realized how important it is to have a good DJ at your wedding. I'd argue that Deric is the reason the day was as perfect as it was. I've already recommended Deric to 2 of my friends that are getting married and will continue to do so going forward.
I met Deric at the Cleveland Bridal Show (pre Covid-19) and instantly decided I wanted to hire him. He was experienced and engaging and clearly a pro at what he does. As the date of our September wedding got close, I was worried about safety and also whether anyone would actually dance, but I shouldn't have been concerned! Deric was so accommodating of the huge change in our guest count, and he kept the dance floor alive. He played all the music I asked for and those who chose to dance had a great time! He also brought his photo booth, which was a huge hit for everyone who wasn't comfortable dancing, and we got great photo keepsakes. I highly recommend him and would absolutely hire him again.
Deric was so very helpful and kind when it came to planning our wedding music and outline. We were what they call a COVID wedding and between date changes, venue changes, guest list uncertainty and everything in between Deric helped us through the way and helped make our night unforgettable. DJ Mike was amazingly helpful between everything that was going askew. He even gave us the cue for my Dad and I to walk down because one of our flower girls was very shy. We got many compliments saying that we had the most amazing mix of music at a wedding that people have ever heard. This was because Deric will help you make an entire "music menu" and really get what you like. I cannot stress enough how helpful these gentlemen were through one of the most stressful times of our life. They truly helped us make an absolutely unbelievable wedding :) I also wanted to add that our venue we ended up landing on was new to them and us and everything turned out perfect. Thank you Deric and Mike I will always recommend y'all!
Deric was extremely professional and very helpful in tailoring the evening for our guests to keep everyone dancing. From the start of the "dance" music until the end of the reception, guests danced nonstop. Everyone complimented the music selection and the DJ several times throughout the evening. Guests didn't want to leave or stop dancing! Highly recommend.
They were incredible to work with from start to finish. The dance floor was crowded all night long! They played so much stuff that kept people dancing and mixed up the order so it never got boring. They truly made us feel so special on our big day. Deric was quick to respond to all my calls and answered all my questions. The in person meeting a few weeks before the wedding cannot be overvalued. He even knew the venue and made lighting recommendations based on his experience. That helped so much. It made us so much more comfortable knowing the timeline and that our music preferences were being considered. The price was sooo much lower than we expected for the quality! We got so many compliments about the music. They kept people out on the dance floor until the very last song. Thanks for the perfect celebration!
Just like their name- this company was Absolutely Unbelievable every step of the way! I knew Deric because he was the DJ for two of my best friends weddings. I knew he would be perfect for mine! After contacting him he had us come in and view/experience his equipment. This was great because we knew exactly what we were getting. We saw the lights, heard the quality of the sound equipment and saw the props for the Photobooth. Deric gave us a great deal and we picked out our gobo (name in lights), purple uplights, music package, and photo booth. He had worked at our chosen venue several times before so he knew exactly which music package would be best without overpowering the room. We met with him again to choose songs and he knew what music was popular to play but also took down our requests. The day of our wedding he was there early to set up the room. He played music for our ceremony, played music at cocktail hour, and had the best announcer voice for our basketball-theme entrance. The photobooth had quality items from his travels around the nation and included authentic Disney props. Everyone loved the Photobooth and that was a big hit seeing all of the photos our guests took that were collected for us in a scrapbook. He expertly and professionally led the entire evening and we didn't have to worry about a thing. I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed all night and that was exactly what happened at our wedding! When I was dancing he played my favorite songs and everyone was having the best time! After the wedding many people raved about the experience, the music, the DJ and I would recommend him to everyone who wants to keep the party going and people dancing all night! You won't forget it!
Deric was our DJ and he was always super professional and nice. We really enjoyed our meetings with him, very organized. He has a fantastic voice to be a DJ. All of the lighting and lasers were great on our dance floor. While the night was fantastic, we were a little disappointed in our overall music selection. We had a very specific vibe that we wanted for music to be played. We had a really detailed list of things we wanted to be played that we went over with Deric at our final meeting. Some were played, but either very late in the night when a lot of people had left or not at all. And for the amount of songs we asked for, a lot were skipped over. We had a lot of people asking us where “our” songs were because we had said ahead of time we were going to have a 90s/early 2000s vibe. Deric spent a lot of time in the earlier music, 70s & 80s. I do think we lost our younger crowd a bit. Overall our wedding reception was a blast and he was so professional. But we would describe the situation as pretty traditional. Lots of the old school songs, nothing wrong with that-but we really had specifics in mind that were kind of overlooked. My fiancé surprised me with singing karaoke to me & Deric helped him set all of that up which was great!

Had a wonderful time at Megan and Adam's reception. Megan and Adam make a great couple and I wish them well. Folks danced all night and there was a natural thinning of the crowd as the night went on. It was a 6 hour reception which nowadays i...
s rare. Most receptions are 5 to 5 1/2 hours so it got a little long. I went back and looked at the music menu for this wedding to see if I had done something wrong. Here is the breakdown on songs played. Incidentally, every song that I did play was on their approved playlist! 50's and 60's...3 songs/Motown 2 songs/ slow tunes 4 songs/2 line dances/ 2 disco tunes/2 funk songs/2 required country tunes/2 80's dance songs/1 Rock & Roll tune/25 (twenty five) 90's, Top 40 and hip hop tunes songs/1 last slow dance which was the last song of the night! So in essence I played 12 songs from the 50's through the 80's....4 slow songs....2 early line dances and 25 songs from the 90's. 2000's, current top 40 and hip hop and of course 1 last slow dance! Percentage wise I did play about 70% of 90's. 2000's, top 40 and hip hop tunes. The total lists of songs to be played would have been enough to play 2 weddings!!!! Could only fit so many songs in...... So in conclusion, I don't think their evaluation was accurate or fair. They left the hall for a good 20 minutes to take pictures when I was playing their 90's and 2000's songs...so they didn't hear them! I always try to customize a Bride and Groom's music menu to their tastes in music and this wedding was no different. The sheer number of songs on their list made it impossible to play them all. The guests danced all night and I had an enjoyable evening. Certainly wish the Bride and Groom the very best!
Deric is the best! He is professional, organized, and stellar at what he does! We didn’t have to worry about a thing bc he had everything outlined and under control. He got people on the dance floor, and everyone was raving about the music! He was quick to offer suggestions when we needed it and offered informative advice. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, and into the reception... he ROCKED it! Trust me.. this is who you want to dj the best day of your life!
Deric's organization alone makes it 100% worth booking him for your wedding. He made my wedding flow seamlessly so I could actually enjoy myself! I didn't have to worry about when we were going to cut the cake, when we were going to do the first dance, when we would do the garter routine, etc... He sat down with me for 2 hours before my wedding and planned every detail out minute by minute, from ceremony music to the reception!!!! He is an amazing DJ and knows how to please the crowd. He can read whether he needs to change up a genre if things aren't going well. He got my guests up and dancing from the first to last song he played!!! He is very experienced and well worth the price, which I found to be reasonable. He will also sit with you to map out songs you would like to have played at the reception, genre by genre. Everything was planned with such thought and precision, and my guests couldn't stop talking about how great the DJ was!! We had a photo booth which was excellent as well. You get a scrapbook at the end with all the pictures printed for you and your partner (guests get a copy of the photos too), along with a flash drive of the pictures to look back on! Worked great as favors for our guests! The grand entrance was great too - he really makes you feel like a celebrity with a spotlight and grand introduction for your family and friends! If you want a reception that is memorable for all the right reasons, choose Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment! Great communication as well.
My wedding was the best day of my life for several reasons, most importantly because I married my best friend. On the top of that list would be my extreme satisfaction with our DJ - Derec. I was so impressed with the quality of service, from the music we requested during dinner, to the last song at the reception, everyone loved the entertainment! Derec made sure the crowd was dancing from beginning to end, reading the energy level, and alternating slow and fast songs. All of my family and friends were on the dance floor enjoying themselves, and several people my husband and I expected to leave early, stayed until the end because they were having such a great time. I never had a better night, dancing, even singing one song, in all of my life. Derec's energy and voice made my reception experience, as well as my guest's experience so WONDERFUL!!! I also liked how he was sure to have a detailed meeting with my husband and I about how the night was going to progress, going through all genres of songs, and took the time to know our specific taste. I highly recommend Derec.
Deric was great to work with and was excellent in getting our guests on the dance floor. His knowledge of music and experience offered a great combination in making our reception lively and entertaining. The photo booth was a crowd favorite, the props were of high quality and the photo album was a great addition to our wedding/reception memories.
Deric was amazing to work with! We had many email conversations about how I wanted things and he made sure to get it all correct! He also played a wide range of music that everyone will love. He also did really nice blue uplighting all around the room. And I loved how he kept the night very organized by clearly announcing everything. He kept us all on schedule, which was a BIG relief to me. He also added some nice personal comments throughout the night. Thank you Deric! You made the night!
Rave reviews throughout the night from our guests.
Our wedding reception was held at Normany Party Center in Wickliffe on the weekend of July 4th 2017. Prior to the event we had met with Deric three times. First meeting, was basically to meet him and see if he would be the right DJ for us. Second meeting was to meticulously plan the evening minute by minute. And because we had specific requests for our music and our entrance, we met him a third time. In the third meeting I gave him some CDs that I had made, containing the cocktail music we wanted, entrance music we wanted, and some obscure European dance music that isn't easily found. As you can tell we had a lot of special requests of Deric. From our introductions, till the last call, we had specific requests for him. He reminded us throughout the planning process that it was our evening, and he would do what ever it took to accommodate our requests. We even had him share the music duties with a live band. Deric managed the whole evening flawlessly. He mixed in our European 80's dance music, 90's freestyle and Thai dance music to contemporary music throughout the night. That by itself is a feat. But for him to bring the energy as an MC to keep the dance floor packed and everyone having fun all night was amazing. Throughout the night our guests let us know how impressed they were of the job he was doing.
If you are reading this review, I hope the point you take away is that Deric is a true seasoned professional. Weird special requests didn't phase him. But at the same time, his experience allows him to anticipate any issues right away and bring them to your attention. Listen to his suggestions and advice. This man knows what he's doing! Aside from my long list of requests, I feel like Deric took care of everything! He totally did his part and more to make our evening a blast! Our guests are still talking about it!
We totally recommend his services!
Mike was our DJ for our wedding night and he was incredible! He had everyone on the dance floor, was fantastic at keeping us on schedule and was a pleasure to work with. I am so happy we chose to go with Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment, Deric helped us create our timeline and it made the day go so smoothly. Everything was stress and worry free when it came to our DJ and we are so thankful!
Deric with Absolutely Unbelieveable Entertainment TRULY BLEW US AWAY. He is hands down the most incredible MC and kept our guests dancing all night. After our first meeting with Deric we knew instantly he would be the perfect guy for the job. Our highlight of our wedding was having the entire wedding guest list on the dance floor while we learned the steps to "Thriller" as it played on the video screens. ( I know it seems silly, but our guests could not get enough, they STILL rave about it.) We were told by our guests that the music selection was perfect and Deric truly hit the nail on the head. He kept things moving so that my husband and I could enjoy the night and be carefree. His pricing is actually totally affordable and worth EVERY penny. There is nothing worse than an empty dance floor, that was the biggest fear my husband and I had but we didn't have to be afraid because Deric was there to prevent that from happening--and he did it flawlessly. There came a point where our friends actually needed to dance to a slow song because they were exhausted from the partying!
Deric went above and beyond when he even found our first dance song the version that I wanted was by a different singer and it was the acoustic version. This made me extremely happy. WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, DERIC!!!
Our wedding was 9/1/13 (Yes I am a little late writing a review) but Deric was our dj. He was great! Friendly and on schedule. Our wedding day was a disaster and our reception was in danger of the same, and Deric stepped in and saved the rest of our day. We owe him so much. He helped us keep organized so our reception was salvaged. He did a great job and the photobooth and uplighting was great as well.
We had Mike as our DJ and we have no complaints. Nothing stood out as amazing but nothing stood out as being bad either. He was pretty solid. We had lots of guests dancing throughout the night.
What we really enjoyed was our planning through Deric. He was very attentive and we never felt like he was ignoring or neglecting us. He was very professional and steered us in the right directions. It was a very pleasant experience.
Deric is amazing! He read the crowd like a pro, created our timeline down to the minute, and made our reception such a blast!
When looking for a DJ for your Wedding you have to remember this, you want a Professional who will run your entire night with Class! Fun! and of course Entertainment!! Well, look no further!!!! Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment was the best choice we made for our summer Fairytale Wedding, July 16, 2016! We first met Deric at the New Year's Eve Party we always go to, (for the past three years he has made our New Year's ROCKIN'!) and then I saw him again at one of the Bridal Shows I attended. Deric has always completely WOW'd us, and unlike other DJ's he really adds a very nice personal touch and makes you have a stress free, worry free day, because he is there to take care of the night for you!! We received SO many compliments all night, and still now that our DJ, Deric sounded like the announcer on the Price is Right and they want him for their Weddings! He came dressed so professional in his tux that both my dad and my father-in-law thought he was the owner of the Country Club we had our Reception at!
Deric was so easy to work with, and I looked forward to every meeting we had! He met with me three times, and replied to my emails within minutes! He took the time to go over the playlist from the oldies, the line dances, 80s, 90s, and now! He even made sure to make a DO NOT play list, and found the song I wanted to dance to with my Dad, no problem! Some of the girls in my Bridal Party tried to change the entrance song that my Groom and I selected and he told the girls no, this has already been selected by the Bride & Groom, they are in charge! He had so many great ideas, and we just loved him! We knew he was our DJ when he said he had Disney props for the Photo booth! Everyone loved all the details he put into our day, as did we!!! Our GOBO light didn't arrive in time, due to the company he ordered through, but he took the time to sit down with us and not only apologize more than once but explain how he was on the phone multiple times and he tried his very best (even spent the night at his office awaiting the arrival of it) to come! He refunded the cost and STILL sent it to us for a keepsake! This guy is absolutely AMAZING! He really went above and beyond to make our day even more memorable and we highly encourage you to book him as well! From the emails, the meetings, the photo booth, the up lights, the Disney music during our cocktail hour, the military music during our Fireworks and sparklers, and the entertainment all night long, THANK YOU, Deric and Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment!! We couldn't have asked for a better night thanks to you and your staff for helping make our Wedding Day a dream come true!!! We look forward to seeing you at our annual New Years Eve Celebration!!!
Kind Regards,
Jennifer & Michael G.
All I can say is if you want a DJ that will keep the party going and the guests continuously on the dance floor, Absolutely Unbelievable and Deric Langton is your DJ. From the minute I talked with Deric over the phone, I knew he had to be my DJ. He was full of energy, had me laughing, and had years of experience with playing music for weddings. Deric was always quick to respond to my emails and was open to any suggestions or music choices my husband and I had. For example, my little brother made him cd’s of music to play during dinner and he played all of them. Many of our guests commented on the variety of music Deric played, he hit all ages and genres. Deric also has a radio voice that grabs your attention and wanting more. I kept hearing throughout the night, “Best DJ Ever.” I honestly can say that I do not think there was a time in the wedding that the dance floor was not full. Don’t pass him up, your wedding night will not be the same without him as your master of ceremonies.
We had such a great time at our reception with the help of Mike, our DJ. He played all the right music and kept my family and friends dancing all night!
Deric, the owner, made the booking and preparation process very easy. He sat down with us to explain how everything would work and planned our reception down the minute so that everything would go smoothly. We really appreciated that.
So much fun was had the reception. Highly recommend this company!
From start finish our experience was excellent. We met Deric at a bridal event. We set up a meeting with him and from that point on we knew that we had found our DJ. Deric was professional, knowledgeable and very east to work with. He made the experience about us. He helped us plan our ideal reception and kept us on schedule. There was never a time when we didn't know what was going to happen. And the music was excellent. I had the time of my life!
Our DJ was amazing! He kept the floor packed all night and played songs for everyone! He also did a great with the bridal party and our grand enterance! I would recommend them to everyone! They also did our uplighting which looked wonderful! Very happy with the service!
We chose this DJ company based on their photobooth. It was the best quality booth we had seen. With that said, there comes a price for quality. I will say that the owner Deric is very thorough when going over the song selections. I would have liked to have more country music in our selection, (many of our guests enjoy country music) but I was told many songs were "un-danceable". They did go out of their way to find a song we liked, it wasn't on iTunes so they were able to get it through YouTube. As previously mentioned the photobooth was very high quality. A huge hit at the wedding. I was very pleased with the photobooth. We had not previously met the DJ for our party. He seemed pretty good. He played all of our songs from the list. Many guests said they were a little disappointed with the DJ, as far as announcing the cake cutting went. Also, my brother and father in law requested we sing happy birthday to the groom at the end of the night, which did not happen. I am not sure how enthusiastic wedding DJ's are supposed to be. I would say ours was a little more on the reserved side, but overall, guests were dancing and enjoying themselves. I would recommend this company because of their professionalism and their quality photobooth. The pictures were a huge hit with guests, and the fact that they were high quality was important to me.
I never write reviews, but I feel that I need to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. I must preempt this by stating that I am a very easy going person. I wasn't one of those brides who expected everything to be "perfect". Also, we really liked the owner, Deric, and our DJ, Dave. They were very nice people, and we have no qualms with them per se.
To start, this DJ does not use any computerized equipment - they use CD's. Had I known this in advance I would not have booked them. This means that they have no library of music. I only found this out because my first dance song was on a CD that was destroyed - there was no backup. We had to choose a new song very quickly, but since there is no computer database, they only had the songs that were on the CD's that they brought.
After we chose our new song (this was during dinner) our original song (by another artist) started playing! No kidding! My husband ran up to the DJ, who said that this rendition was not a good one - it was just dinner music. We would have at least liked the option of deciding that for ourselves. On a positive note, the DJ was very sweet and for our last song he played this "dinner" rendition again and said it was our "second-first dance". This is something I will remember forever.
So believe it or not I wasn't too upset about our first dance song being destroyed. I figured it was meant to be and luckily we found a new song that worked for us, plus we got a "second-first dance"! But, here is where I am a bit upset. We gave a list of songs that absolutely *had* to be played. They were traditional songs like the Hokey Pokey, the Chicken Dance, and 1 Polka. I am so sad - they were not played. I didn't realize it until the next day; my husband and I were so caught up with everything else that was going on that we forgot. But that's why an outline was done in advance-because the bride and groom get caught up and cannot think about everything that needs to be done. After our honeymoon we found out that a lot of our older guests left earlier than they would have because the music was too loud and too fast. I really think that splitting up the club music with these songs would have helped, and even if it didn't, it doesn't matter because these are traditions - and this is something that cannot be done over again.
Regardless of what DJ you choose, just ask questions. We never thought to ask if they use CD's or digital equipment. Also, try to choose a company where you can meet your DJ before the event. I really think that if we met our DJ that things would have been different. Our requests were not adequately communicated with our DJ. Talking to your actual DJ is more important than anyone realizes - don't let the DJ company tell you otherwise!
Uncle Derek as he likes to call himself is the owner of Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment. He has great attention to detail-we had a three hour meeting with him to discuss time lines and song choices. His ultimate jam package will turn your wedding into a club with all the laser lights and music videos. Photo booth was big but you couldn't actually fit all the people in the picture. My only complaint was that my husband wanted a Notorious BIG song played and it was but not the radio edit so lots of swearing and use of the N word at a classy reception.
DJ played to the crowd! huge success.
We used AUE and everything, except one thing, was great! The one thing was our grand entrance song! I wanted the last 50 seconds of a song, and he played the first 50 seconds! No one but my groom and I would really know it wasn't right, unless I tell people, but still; whenever I think about it I am a little annoyed. Otherwise things with AUE were great and I would recommend them! We also got a photobooth and some uplighting from them.
We found Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment at the suggestion of our photographer, and after doing some internet research, made an appointment to meet with Deric Langton, the owner. He showed us his studio and equipment, and seemed really enthusiastic about his business and quickly decided on to hire them. Our second meeting was about a month before our wedding, again with Deric, to script out our wedding and reception, literally, minute-by-minute. Before this meeting, we stayed in touch by regular email and we added a sound system for our ceremony, too. The wedding planning meeting was a little tense between Deric and me, however, what I did not understand at the time is that the minute-by-minute scripting really ensures that bride and groom know what to expect and when, that information and expectations can easily be communicated with other vendors based on the plan, and that the party runs quickly and smoothly for the guests. I didn’t really understand this until I attended another wedding that wasn’t nearly as well run as ours (the music wasn’t as good, either!) Chris, our DJ, was beyond fantastic. He was early, set up, ready to go, in control. He was fun and professional. He played great tunes. He managed my unruly, anarchist aunt without her realizing she was being managed. He was awesome in every imaginable way. So Absolutely Unbelievable will not only rock the party, but your event will be expertly managed with all the worry in the hands of the professionals. Deric knew that and I didn’t. So trust them. You won’t be sorry.
Came to agreement about the day and services. Overall, performed despite miserable weather conditions.
I would like to thank Derick from Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment for making our wedding a fairy tale wedding. We have had nothing but compliments for the whole night! From the light show to the music, and the extra touch of Elvis. He is a great DJ & also makes a friendship with the bride and groom. The photo booth was the best photo booth that anyone has ever seen. We were able to fit 15 people in one picture. Thank you for making our wedding day a fairy tale dream wedding. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding DJ
Wow can I give them 10 stars?! What an amazing job they did at my wedding we are so glad we went with them. For weeks after the wedding people were still talking about our Dj! Yes! They were such a pleasure to work with, everything ran so smooth on our special day with them as our Dj! And the photo booth was incredible so much fun! I highly recommend to include that in your wedding package! The attendant for the photo booth was as sweet as can be also!! I could go on and on with nothing but good things about them!! Thanks again for making our wedding night absolutely unbelievably amazing!!
Deric did an awesome job as our DJ/emcee for the night. Everyone had a blast and he kept things going at a good pace and no one was confused as to what was going on next.
My cousin used Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment for his 2010 wedding, so when we started planning we made an appointment with Deric right away. He is a fantastic DJ and is passionate about his business - he gave us a complete studio tour and showed us all of the equipment he and his DJs use at gigs, and he stayed in consistent contact during the 9 months between signing our contract and playing at our wedding.
Two weeks before the wedding we sat down with Deric and did a finely detailed outline of the reception - everybody knew what to expect and when, and we left comfortable knowing just what we would hear.
Bobby (our DJ) and Katie (our photobooth hostess) completely blew our expectations out of the water! Both were vibrant and helped keep the party going. Bobby was a funny emcee who kept in touch with the vibe of the party, and Katie kept people going through the photo booth all night! We're especially pleased with the photo strip scrapbook we received at the end of the night.
If you want phenomenal entertainment to make your day perfect, look no further than Deric and his awesome team!
We were recently married and had Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment at our reception. Up front the DJ was very detailed oriented and had the whole night planned out down to the minute! Having someone so involved worked out great when it came to dinner, the cake cutting, first dance etc. He made sure that we weren’t drawing these things out while also recognizing how special they were to us and not rushing them either. Also, the DJ was attentive to the guests and played the perfect mix of music to ensure that people were having fun and dancing. Overall we couldn’t have been happier with the DJ and wouldn’t hesitate to choose him again.
Deric was our DJ and he definitely knew what he was doing. We were happy that he took the time with us before the wedding to discuss our timeline for our reception and what music preferences and special dances we had in mind. He also recommended some great song options when we asked for help.
The dance floor was packed most of the night and several of our guests told us how great the DJ was. I am very happy with the service we received and would recommend Absolutely Unbelieveable Entertainment for any wedding or special event
Even though we got the basic Essentials package, owner Deric Langton spared no expense. They customized our song list, and had a fun entrance for us! Everyone had a great time, and the DJ was fun and got people in the mood to dance! Great value, and we were lucky they could work with us, since our original DJ canceled on us at last minute. We also received a discount since our wedding was on a Sunday! Great people, fun atmosphere, and worth the price!
He was very concerened with what we wanted and how we wanted the night to go!
