We went to a wedding that DJ Mike was the DJ and he was the first and only person we reached out to for our wedding.
He was incredible to work with from the beginning and Adam was so quick with contracts.
Our ceremony music was perfect, the AV equiment went off without a hitch for the ceremony, and my matrons of honor even asked for a special favor!
Mike had EVERYONE on the dance floor all night long. It was everything we could have asked for and more. Seriously best Wedding DJ of any of rhe weddings we have been to.
We hired Adam as our DJ for our wedding. He was incredible to work with and we would recommend him to anyone.
He met with us several times virtually to go over his questionnaire, proposed timeline, and to discuss our desires for what we wanted our wedding day to look like. From our meetings, we could tell he is an active listener and a great communicator. He was realistic with what would work and open to our vision while still keeping in line with his style as a DJ.
Adam has an online portal to create song requests and preferences as well as to get to know us, our styles, and our vision for the wedding day. He also had suggestions for unique activities that we could choose to include, all with the intent to keep the guests engaged and having fun. He was able to answer all our questions and incorporate our special requests. He coordinated well with our photographer to get table photos completed not only efficiently but in a fun way for all involved.
When it came to the dance floor, we loved how well he was able to read the crowd and kept them engaged with his music and within our own requests and music style. He has such great energy. It was also really rewarding hearing our selected music played at the wedding. We selected our own songs for cocktail hour and dinner, and were able to make suggestions for the dance floor. Where we weren't sure songs would fit, Adam utilized his expertise to include them where most appropriate. The whole experience was very streamlined and enjoyable.
As with most weddings, little unexpected things come up, our wedding was no different. What came up was not related to anything that Adam or any of his staff did. Adam was attentive, flexible, and problem solved to aid in addressing any of those things.
We also utilized his photobooth service and highly recommend it as well. Guests were able to get physical copies for themselves as well as additional copies to place in our guestbook! Nate also set aside hard copies of photos for us at the end of the night and sent us an electronic copy of all the photos in single frame as well as in the photobooth format that we had chosen. It was so much fun for us and for our guests.
We are so happy we booked DJ Mo with Advent Entertainment for our wedding! He was a delight to work with and the dance floor was packed all night long.
When my now husband and I made a list of our wedding priorities, good music and a packed dance floor were high on the list. DJ Mo delivered on both! In the prep calls leading up the wedding, Mo was easy to talk to and able to clearly answer all of our questions. He was happy to provide us with sample transitions, help us figure out exactly how we wanted the night to go, and accommodate all of our requests. He seamlessly worked in all of our song requests and kept all of our friends and family members dancing regardless of age or background. I highly recommend DJ Mo and Advent Entertainment.
After our first wedding dj went to jail and took our money with him, Adam was happy to step in to be apart of our big day! Although he couldn’t do our wedding, he found someone that could for us! He charged me a highly reduced rate given the circumstances and has also been working to get us refunded from the original dj! He has already managed to provide us with $1250 from our last dj and has gone above and beyond with anything we could ever ask and need! Highly reccommend Adam if your looking for someone who will be real with you, provides insurance, and makes sure you are well taken care of!
Adam was the best DJ! He was very communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process and had a super easy to use and helpful website that we used to share our music ideas and discuss the logistics. He suggested things for our wedding day that made it go so smoothly and listened to our requests. Day of, Adam was super fun and professional! He played all of our requested music and tied in other songs that our guests loved. People kept telling us how great the music was and how much fun they had! Adam captured our music taste and really helped us have the best wedding! We can’t say thank you enough!!
We had both Adam and Moe for our officiant and DJ. We loved how attentive and fun Adam was! Throughout the planning process, he made it very easy and was quick to answer any questions.
After the ceremony, Adam came to give us water and food while we were taking our cocktail hour photos. We loved that he did that! He was able to get our guests excited and out of their seats during the reception. They definitely know how to get the party going!
We did take a star away due to songs not being played at the correct time stamp.
For our first kiss and exit song, we discussed playing a song at a certain part. The correct song was played; however, it was played at the beginning, and not at the time we had planned on.
Also, for our first dance they did not start it at the correct time. We had a choreographed dance, and asked for our song to be played at a certain time. The song was not played at the correct time, and threw us off a bit.
Advent Entertainment was truly amazing. Adam was so easy to plan with and made the whole planning process enjoyable. They were also very flexible with any last-minute changes on the day of the wedding and really wanted to make sure our day was perfect. We got numerous compliments about how interactive our DJ was and how they kept the party going! Everyone loved the music that was playing and the games we played to break up the night. I am truly grateful that we booked Advent Entertainment to be our DJ and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ.
Advent Entertainment EXCEEDED our expectations. Fun, Interactive and just amazing DJ!
DJ Mo knows how to keep the dance floor packed! Look no further and book DJ Mo before someone does. He kept me organized and understood my vision for the ceremony and reception. After almost 2 years since our wedding, my guests are STILL talking about DJ Mo and looking for our wedding playlist because the music for both the ceremony and reception left a lasting impression on them.
Wedding planning and the big day can be very overwhelming and stressful. You need vendors like DJ Mo who you can trust to deliver the best experience.
DJ Mo went above and beyond from the moment we reached out to him all the way through the wedding. We had a 2 year engagement and Mo was one of the first vendors we booked. From the get-go, he was setting up meetings to really make sure that the vibe we wanted at our reception was exactly the one we got. It was great to be able to put together our playlists for each section of the night and Mo made it all play through seamlessly. He has such a talent and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided us!
Planning with Adam was amazing. He really made sure our vision came to life, he knew just the right songs for things I could makeup my mind on, and he easily adapted to my last minute changes. I 100% recommend Advent to anyone looking to party, have fun, and think outside of the wedding music norm. He keeps it fun, fresh, and exciting.
Advent Entertainment, Adam & Logan, were wonderful. They made our wedding so much fun and our friends and family gave us numerous compliments on them and how entertaining they were throughout the night. We worked mostly with Adam and got lucky to have Logan at our event as well. Adam worked so hard behind the scenes to keep us organized and plan as we went along. His online portal where we could add music and schedules was especially helpful. We hired Adam as our DJ but he was ready and willing to jump in anywhere we needed help to make our day exactly what we imagined. When our officiant couldn’t make it, Adam immediately offered to not only be our DJ but also our officiant if we needed. Adam is incredibly kind and easy to work with. I would recommend Advent Entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ for any event who will keep the party moving and interact positively with the crowd without being over the top or pushy. Thank you again Adam & Logan!
Adam and Becca helped us throw the BEST party ever! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and the music was hit after hit. The planning process was super easy with Adam and we were able to perfectly curate playlists.
I recently had Advent (Adam and Mo) DJ my wedding.
I was very nervous when trying to book a DJ for my wedding. I have seen and been to many, many weddings before. I have seen the best DJs, and I have seen the worst DJs. I knew what I needed, and what I needed was really more than a DJ. I needed a DJ, sure, but I also needed a good MC, and I needed a great entertainer.
Advent was recommended to me by a very close and trusted friend, so when I found out Advent could provide all the extra bells and whistles (up-lighting, TV screens, and dance floor smoke) that I was also looking for, I booked immediately without meeting anyone in person. Didn't matter Advent was out of town and a little extra money for travel. I trusted my friend. Glad to say, I never once regretted that decision.
A few months later I met Adam to start the planning process. Adam was very professional and tech savy throughout the whole process. He asked us every question you could think of, and did everything we asked leading up to the event day.
On event day, Adam and Mo made the drive to our location and setup everything perfectly. On the microphone Adam was everything I had hoped. He was entertaining. Mo was the DJ and he too was everything I had hoped for. Played all the music we had discussed during planning and the combination of him and Adam was perfect. They really made everyone want to participate in the fun.
Our wedding day was amazing, and it would not have been that way without Adam, Mo, and Advent Entertainment. They were professional and provided a high quality service for an amazing price. Would recommend to anyone, for any event.
Advent Entertainment is amazing!! They were so on top of everything throughout the whole process. They really take into consideration what you want your event to look like, from the schedule, to the music you like, and the music you don’t like. Becca and Michael were incredible. People were on the dance floor the whole time, the tables were empty all night. Even the grandparents were out on the dance floor! They did such an incredible job, would highly recommend advent for any wedding or event!!!
Adam and Becca MADE our day! From the moment we started working with Adam we knew we were in good hands. Not only is he incredible with what he does, he truly cares about your day and will go above and beyond to make it perfect. Adam was such a safe place for us while wedding planning. Reminding us that is was our day and everything would be amazing. When the day of the wedding came it was the hottest day ever (no really it was) we get to the venue Adam comes with water and cool clothes for us. Not something he had to do but HE CARES! He made sure we hydrated and ate! No to the music let me tell you everyone was on that dance floor from children to adults. The list of music they curated for our wedding was perfect! People all night kept coming up to us saying saying “wow your djs are amazing” by the end of the night everyone was nonstop talking about Adam and Becca. The interaction with the crowd was incredible the games they played hilarious. I couldn’t imagine anyone else being the DJ on our wedding day. Though I feel DJ doesn’t do it justice Adam and his wife (who is also incredible) drove some people back after the wedding in order for those people to get Ubers. I am now looking for events to host so I can have them DJ again. In most cases you have one wedding day, one first dance and so on. Trust them with this you will not be disappointed. If you want the best here it is!!
Best money spent on our wedding! Even though Mo is SO reasonably price, the music at your wedding can make or break it. After meeting with Mo for the first time, I knew instantly he would be our DJ and he would make it the best wedding of the year and I was RIGHT. Mo did an amazing job, we received SO many compliments for his work. He’s so professional, made us feel so comfortable and made sure it was everything we wanted and more. Mo has separate equipment for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and everything was flawless. I even made a change on the wedding day for my bridesmaid entrances and Mo made it happen without batting an eye. Such an awesome person and talented DJ.
DJ Mic Power made our wedding and reception a night my husband and I, and all of our guests will cherish forever! Our wedding had been postponed twice due to Covid and we were all so ready to enjoy each others company and have a memorable night! DJ Mic was organized and professional throughout the planning stages and delivery. He helped outline typical microphone and music needs so that we could pick our perfect song choices for the important aspects, and left the rest up to DJ Mic to choose!- we didn't have to worry about a thing the entire evening. His read of the crowd and music choices were spot on and had everyone dancing continuously until we were essentially kicked out of the venue! He was by far our best, and arguably the most important?!, vendor choice of our entire wedding. Now 6 mos later (sorry about the overdue review!), our friends and family are STILL talking about how much fun our wedding was! Thank you for making our wedding- perfection!
When I tell you we went hard on the dance floor at our wedding, I mean we went HARD. Adam kept the party going all night long, when the night was over nobody wanted to leave, we practically had to kick the guests off the dance floor! Guests were dancing their way onto the bus to go home! I danced so hard all night, I don't think any amount of dry cleaning will get the sweat out of my wedding dress. Every time people said "Oh, I need a break, let me go sit down for a minute", Adam would start yet another crowd pleaser bop and people would RUN back to the dance floor. Every time someone came up to me and said "Let me get a picture with the lovely Bride!", I rushed them along because I wanted to get back on the dance floor so badly! "Mhm, yeah. Great pic! Are we good here? I've really got to go, Adam is playing my jam." He had meetings with us to make sure he knew exactly what our and our guests' music taste was to ensure he made the perfect party playlist. I told Adam I wanted to throw my bouquet to the Pokemon Theme Song. Adam got the crowd so pumped for that bouquet toss, it was the best moment of the night. I have never seen a crowd of 50 people scream any song in unison so enthusiastically in my entire life, let alone the Pokemon theme song. We did the "First Dance on a Cloud" package, and it was so beautiful! It looked gorgeous in our wedding photos and video! Adam also led the party in playing the Shoeleyweds game, but with rubber duckies so I wouldn't have to take my shoes off, and it was a total hit! We had such a fun night, I don't think I've had that much of a blast on the dance floor since college, actually maybe ever in all honesty. Every other party I attend for the rest of time will pale in comparison to the our Advent Entertainment wedding reception! P.S. To all of my LGBTQ+ couples out there, this is a LGBTQ+ friendly vendor! 5 stars, highly recommend!
DJ Mike was very easy to work with and he was very personable and fun throughout the entire process. Mike did a great job of effectively engaging with the crowd, while never feeling overwhelming. He transitioned seamlessly between our chosen songs and his own selections. We would definitely recommend Mike and Advent Entertainment for your next event!
DJ Mike was the DJ for our wedding cocktail hour and reception. He knows how to work an event. Very pleased with his music, mixing was great. Would highly recommend.
Adam was the absolute best. We never felt like there was any ambiguity towards how the wedding would be run, and he threw a good time. The crowd was up and dancing the whole time and they were able to mix songs in perfectly without any abrupt transitions. I also appreciated that we met a few times before the wedding so we felt prepared for the actual reception. Adam could charge double and I would still be happy booking him. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ and would book him again if I every need a DJ for a big party!
DJ Mike is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's energetic, passionate, and positive. These all make him such an incredible DJ. The whole evening, he was keeping the energy level high with his entertainment. On the dancefloor, he knew all the right songs to play and got the entire party dancing together. We couldn't imagine a better person to work with for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about him and how much great energy he brought to our event.
Adam is a consummate professional! From the initial meeting to the end of the wedding Adam was attentive, informed, and high energy. He knew how to keep people on the dance floor and was great at accommodating our requests. He knows what he's doing, trust him!
There are NOT enough stars to give Adam and Becca for our wedding night. 5 is not enough, they deserve 100!
Music was the one vendor I was least looking forward to finding for our wedding. My husband and I have such odd tastes in music and my biggest concern was making sure he had a good time at our wedding. My husband is a total metalhead, where me, I can dance to anything as long as there is music.
When we started our search, I reached out to a few different companies. The MOMENT we spoke to Adam, we knew we had to hire him and his team. He seemed like someone who genuinely was going to play the music we wanted and wasn't just telling us he would to get the job.
When it came to planning the music, he had so many suggestions for us on how to incorporate music while also making sure our dance floor had people on it. His insight and suggestions allowed us to trust him to take the reins on certain things and he knocked it out of the park.
I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed for every moment other than dinner (and I am not just saying that because it was my wedding). We danced the ENTIRE night through. Adam and Becca read the crowd like pros and played all the right music. They also were so helpful with our surprise piñata. They both went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the best experience ever, and it truly was.
We live 3.5 hours away from our wedding venue, but I would hire Adam in a HEARTBEAT again if I ever needed a DJ for anything, no matter the travel cost. We can not thank him and Becca enough for the energy they gave off and kept up for us at our wedding. It truly was the most magical day ever.
We highly recommend DJ Mike and Advent Entertainment! Mike was so friendly and took time to answer all of our questions leading up to our wedding. He was also so flexible as we went through COVID-related changes. When the day finally came, we and all of our guests had a great time! Mike made sure to pronounce all of our family members' names correctly and played a great mix of music throughout the night, from cocktail hour to the end of our reception. All of our guests told us how much they had enjoyed the music. We're so glad we found DJ Mike and Advent Entertainment!
Dj Mic Power will be talked about for years to come when people reminisce about our wedding! We had some people ask us where we hired our Dj from and we proudly shared the information. Mike made our night a rememberable one in sooo many ways. He took the time to not only video chat with us but meet with us in person as well to get to know us and our wedding plans prior to the wedding day. This extra attention to detail on what we were looking for from him, shined immensely throughout the night. Mike pronounced all of our family members names correctly, interacted with our guests, kept awesome dancing vibes going all night long, and entertained all night long to the very last second. We would hands down recommend DJ Mic Power for any wedding. He deserves ten stars!!! Advent Entertainment has an awesome online planning website that makes the process of exactly what you want played and when so easy and smooth for you wedding day. Book them, you won't regret it!
I highly recommend Advent Entertainment. From the very start, my husband and I enjoyed working with Adam. Adam took the time to get to know us and our vision for our wedding. We came prepared with lists of music for each portion of the day. He made suggestions and helped us move around/omit songs so that our music would help to facilitate the flow of the evening. Adam was there early and prepared the day of the wedding. I received so many compliments about him from guests on the day and afterward. Everyone loved the atmosphere that he created for the reception. My husband and I are pleased to say that he got everybody up and dancing!
He made sure to play songs we requested and stay away from songs we did not want and knew how to work the crowd to please all ages. He brought great energy to the wedding and kept everyone smiling. We through our trust into him with many songs and he did not disappoint!
To book any other entertainment service would be a mistake. In all sincerity, Adam saved our wedding. Our original DJ caught COVID THREE DAYS BEFORE OUR WEDDING. Adam, the owner, made arrangements for his staff to cover another wedding and covered ours HIMSELF. While certainly one of the fastest organized weddings ever, it was wonderfully executed. Adam was professional, accommodating, and helpful in every way. We had a blast. 10/10.
I've had the great fortune of being involved in two weddings Advent entertainment worked at. Whether it was officiating my wedding or DJing my brother's, Adam and his team at Advent go above and beyond to turn special days into unforgettable memories your friends and family will be talking about for decades.
It's easy enough to show up and read a script or shuffle a playlist. But that's not nearly good enough for the standard Adam holds himself to. His crowd involvement, behind-the-scenes support, outstanding professionalism, and passion for making your day the best it can be are unrivaled.
In the dozen or so weddings I've been to, every single one of them pale in comparison to the experience Advent provides. Don't look any further for your DJ - or officiant!
My sister hired Adam Fowler for her wedding on 6/18/22 and he was AMAZING! Beyond amazing really! From when he first got there, he checked in with the bride to go over the day, last minute details, and even song changes. He even greeted us with an umbrella when we got back from taking pictures so the bride and bridal party wouldn’t get wet. THE DJ DID THAT! He then came and spoke to the bridal party, giving us the run down for introductions, coordinating where we stood- everything we needed to know he made sure we knew! He was soo interactive with the guests during the wedding, couldn’t have asked for better music- he read the room! He was so much fun to have apart of her special day! I got married last year and am so bummed that I didn’t know about him sooner. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. Book him!! Run because he will go above and beyond to make your day special and there isn’t a lot of vendors like that!! Thank you Adam for everything you did for my sisters wedding!!
I hired Mo from Advent wedding to DJ my November 2020 wedding. While I had to make a lot of adjustments to my wedding due to COVID, Mo made sure he did not disappoint when it came to the music, he listened to our requests and played a variety of music everyone loved. I would definitely recommend hiring Mo for your wedding DJ.
To say advent is the best is an understatement! Mo
Our DJ was absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely personable and very responsive. He would check in multiple times through out the process and completely understood our vision of what we were looking for. We received so many compliments during and after the wedding about the music and vibe of the night. We explained to Mo that we’re were incorporating some Star Wars and Harry Potter into our wedding and he did a fabulous job of delivering us our vision! Needless to say, look no further Advent Entertainment is the way to go! …I secretly want to have another wedding just to have Mo DJ again!
Adam with Advent Entertainment exceeded every expectation. He kept our guests entertained, laughing, dancing, and having an incredible time all night long. He was so engaging with my children and the younger guests, wiggled in all our favorite songs, was compassionate to energy we wanted at our wedding, and honestly was just so upbeat and had such great energy. He added lighting to our packaged -- and they customized lights and ambiance that just knocked it out of the park! Our family and friends are still raving about the music, to fun, and the positive vibes we brought to our day. Adam remembered every little detail that was important to us, and was overall so fun to work with. He truly helped to create everything we could have wanted in our wedding.
My husband and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Advent Entertainment!! We found Adam after we lost our original DJ option, and he was fabulous from the very beginning. He was great at putting our minds at ease and offered us an amazing deal. We were able to be hands-on throughout the entire planning process and on the day of Adam and his team were professional and so much fun! We still haven't stopped getting compliments about how great they were, and our only complaint would be that the party couldn't go on longer!! We were also very thankful that Adam was respectful of our "do not plays" and navigating song requests. We will definitely be recommending Advent Entertainment to our engaged friends!!
Adam and Becca were simply amazing. Adam took the time to meet with us several times before the wedding to answer all of our questions. From the ceremony to the end of the night, they were on point and kept our guests engaged. The wedding games were a huge hit with everyone and the music was awesome! We were dancing all night long. I would highly recommend Advent Entertainment.
Adam with Advent Entertainment did an excellent job as the DJ for our wedding. I met with Adam a couple different times to discuss our plans for the day and he offered so much guidance. I wasn’t sure what I wanted for a lot of the songs and Adam helped me pick the perfect songs for our day. When the day finally came around, Adam was SO helpful in coordinating everything. From my walk down the aisle to our grand entrance and shuffling some of the events- he was great.
By far the best DJ I’ve ever seen at a wedding! I could be biased because it was our wedding haha, but we really couldn’t have been any happier that we chose to go with Advent. We received a ton of positive feedback from all of our guests too.
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend these guys to anyone looking for a quality DJ!!
Adam and Becca kept guests engaged and having fun from start to finish! Adam was so easy to work with and made the entire event flow so flawlessly!
We couldn’t have asked for a better Dj! Adam and Becca we are great team throughout the entire day. From helping us through our ceremony, to helping us pick up plates off tables, providing us with drinks and making sure we had everything we needed on our special day. (All of which they did not need to do). I recommend Advent entertainment to anybody, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, fun team on our wedding day. Thank you Adam and Becca!
Adam from Advent Entertainment was amazing to work with! He was awesome at communicating before our wedding and couldn’t have been better at reading our crowd during the event. To add to it, he’s also just an amazing person and helped us fill the gaps in service at our wedding by helping clean up, and passing out waters to us and our other vendors. I couldn’t have been happier with the service he provided.
Adam was so great and accommodating with everything! Always made sure everything was to our liking and making sure we had everything we needed.
From the very second Adam and Mike showed up at my wedding they got to work helping above and beyond. Not only with their equipment but also with other things that needed to get done. Their energy and music selection is unmatched by anyone else. If you are looking for the best DJ's, these are your guys. Mike spent most of his time engaging with guests on the dance floor. I have heard nothing but "Best DJ's I have ever seen" from every guest and family member who came to the wedding. If you are looking for people who will do anything and everything to make you wedding or event the best day it could ever be, look no further. From the uplights to the cloud machine for our first dance, to the personalized monogram and the best sound system I have ever heard. Advent is the best.
Adam from Advent Entertainment was so easy to work with. He was organized, punctual and very helpful. He not only gave suggestions as to what songs and types of music would work perfectly for our day, but also wrote a wonderful ceremony script (he was also our officiant). When COVID19 hit, he was very flexible and accommodating when our plans had to change. We will definitely be hiring him again for a BBQ reception when it's safe to do so!
Adam was absolutely fantastic for our wedding. Given the pandemic regulations, I was very nervous that guests would be bored since dancing was restricted, but Adam was amazing. All of our guests had a GREAT time and felt entertained without being tied in to games or involvement. We had such a great time with so many laughs and we were so fortunate to have Adam at our wedding!
