Highlighted review.
Isiah was amazing, there is not one minute or even one second where somebody wasn’t on that Dancefloor until we closed it down!! He was so professional and personable, and I will recommend him to anyone.

Thank you so much for the review and thank you for allowing me to DJ your wedding! It was really a lot of fun and I'm glad everyone dance the night away. It was truly an honor to work with you Sammi and your new husband Adam, I wish the two of ...
you all the best
We originally booked this vendor through the original owner. Unfortunately, she sold the company and we were not informed until we had our two month review. The new owner met with us three times and never remembered us. For all of our special songs, we were sent a preview of the music. One song was clearly pirated as it went from our first dance song to a very different song within the same file. We provided feedback to Isiah and added Info about when we would like songs faded out. He confirmed receipt, but none of the changes were made for our wedding day.
On top of this we booked our Photobooth through them. They have a packet to fill out with a ton of gorgeous backgrounds to choose from. The Photobooth showed up a hour and a half late and then all the backgrounds were video game themed. While totally great if that is what you were going for, it did not at all match our vibe. The ones we picked out were more along the lines of glittery backgrounds or greenery walls. To top it off we paid extra for a guest book. I found the same book for $9 at hobby lobby, but was charged $50 for it.
Overall it didn’t ruin our day, but definitely caused stress and we ended up taking out some special songs because we didn’t trust them to be played properly.

Thank you for the review, please allow me to explain. Yes the company was sold to me and I don't why the original owner did not inform you about the change, your first dance song was fixed it's just for some reason the DJ should have played it ...
because I did update the song personally and fixed it on my end. As far as the photobooth when I got the word from my attendant we were attempting to fix it but you did not give us the chance to do so I do understand that this night is very special to you and you wanted everything to be right so I do accept the responsibility of that I wish you could have personally told me everything that happened that night so that way I can get your side of what happened as well as my DJ and photobooth attendant side of what happened. as far as the guestbook album I was unaware that you would have an issue with that because this is the standard guestbook we've always used even before I've taken over the company and that is the first time I've heard negative feedback about it. Also we did give you the photobooth for a little over the 3 hour booking time so the photobooth according to your contract from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, I'm sorry that you've had stress going on that night from the mistakes that were made, I also believe that was also not fair contacting the original owner after she has long left the company about the errors and mistakes made that night instead of contacting me. either way I'm sorry you've had a bad experience but I would love to make it up somehow for you
Isiah and Jay made my wedding the best day ever!! Our guests are still talking about the incredible music and Jay was so personable and helpful throughout the entire day. I highly recommend them for any event!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2022
Thank you very much for using Allegro! I'm happy to hear that DJ Jay did a great job and the night went smooth, and I wish you all the best with your husband.
Any questions?
We used Allegro Entertainment for our wedding. We had live music for the ceremony, and a DJ for our reception. They were very responsive to questions, and the owner seems passionate about his business! Our DJ was Jason, and he made sure to contact me plenty of times to make sure everything went exactly how I wanted it to. He did a great job keeping guests dancing, and I am so glad that we chose Allegro as our DJ.
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022

ally happy you enjoyed your experience and you had a great honeymoon and I wish you all the best in your marriage!
Absolutely would not recommend. If there was anything we could change about our wedding experience it would be our choice to use Allegro as our wedding DJ. We had nothing but problems from the start after we were promised the world when signing the contract and which turned out to be nothing but false information. We booked with them for their affordable cost as well as their combined services for both DJ and photobooth and for the assurance that they could provide the alternative music choices we were looking for in our themed wedding. Not only we’re we mislead with information on their services, but our experience over the course of planning was extremely unprofessional and downright rude within several communications up to the night of the wedding and it didn’t stop there. We also had several of our guests after the wedding letting us know that the DJ was unfriendly to the point of rudeness and didn’t seem to know what was going on.
Response from the Vendor on 06/11/2022
Wow. I was shocked to receive this review. I'd like to start from the beginning so the readers can thoroughly understand the situation, and the actual truth of the evening. First of all, when this couple booked, the told us they wanted to ha...
ve custom music for their playlist. At Allegro Entertainment, everything we do is personalized, so creating a custom playlist is something we're more than happy to do. Once we started the planning process, we were informed that this couple only wanted video game music for cocktail and dinner hour. Obviously, this is not a request that we get often, and as we started digging for the music, we realized that the majority of the music they wanted was not licensed and released for purchase. In other words, there's no way to get a downloaded version of it. We did the best we could to find everything, but the couple then complained that they weren't the exact version of the video game songs. So we spent hours trying to track down the EXACT versions on the internet, so we could record them and save them to a digital folder. Once we found everything, we finalized the planning process, they signed off on the Wedding Agenda, then we sent them a link to their personal Wedding Music Website so they could approve their music. Once they approved their music, we saved everything to their personalized playlist, and uploaded the music to our DJ software. ALL OF THEIR DETAILS & MUSIC WERE APPROVED. As the owner of the company, I personally worked on their wedding because I could sense that there was some already tension, and this couple was not going to be pleased with anything we did. I didn't want to put any of my staff in a situation like this by themselves. DJ Mike and I had a zoom call with them a few days before their wedding and made sure every single song and detail was exactly the way they wanted it. They confirmed that everything was correct. On the photobooth side of things, we sent them the information they needed to help us create a custom design for their Selfie Station. After I created a design that matched their wedding invitations, the groom emailed me a design that he created. Again, we support our clients and are happy to work with them on all levels to make their wedding day personalized. I took his artwork and put it in the correct format to work on our photobooth software. On the day of the wedding, we arrived on time, and with every piece of equipment they contracted. Throughout the night, we kept everything moving smoothly, and made sure that every single song was played correctly, and that every single announcement was made. When the wedding party arrived, a few of the party members were throwing up in the parking lot. Despite the kerfuffle, we assisted with making sure the entrances were seamless. I have been working in the wedding industry for over 13 years. I am personally requested by hundreds of couples, and Allegro Entertainment is an award winning company because of all the care and attention we put into everything we do. This review is a prime example of a bride who could not be satisfied, and was pissed off from day one when she found out that the video game music idea they had was not something that would be easily pulled off. Regardless of the headache, we DID pull it off, and we did it tactfully and with smiles on our faces. Her guests has a wonderful time, and I have the photobooth pictures to prove it. No one from our company was rude, and DJ Mike is literally one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my entire life! IN FACT, after reading this review, you should look for the review that was just left about him by Ralph C. below. SMH. Wow. Some people.
One notion that I had to change, was that we were not hiring a DJ who played music. Instead, we were hiring a Master of Ceremonies (MC) who would help us run the event, by providing audio equipment, introducing the couple, making announcements, and of course playing music. It took a bit of faith to select Allegro Entertainment, because we did not know who the DJ would be. But we selected Allegro Entertainment based on an in person interview with the owner Dori Abell, who explained how she would ensure a successful event. Dori provided a website with helpful information, and scheduled meetings to create a song list and schedule. She wisely had a final review just a few days before, and they made some good changes to their approach. For example, they decided to allow guests to request songs. This gave the guests a bit of ownership of the event. When a guest picked a song, that guest also got a lot of people out to dance to the song, making the celebration more successful. For the event itself, I was surprised to see Dori herself arrive, along with Mike the MC. The event had shifted from outdoors to indoors, due to weather and they smoothly rolled with the change. For the wedding ceremony, Dori organized the processional so that our timing was right. For the reception, Mike worked easily with us. He made sure the mics worked, and followed our lead on when to start the dancing, etc. A lot of things can go wrong with a wedding, but Allegro Entertainment was a significant part of a successful wedding. We were happy with Allegro Entertainment!
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Allegro. From start to finish, Dori and her staff were completely dedicated to making my day as special as possible. I asked a lot of questions along the way, but they were equally as forthcoming with information. I never felt lost in the planning process, or like I was unsure what our next steps were. A lot of wedding service planning packets can be kind of vague or leave you confused about what information to put down, but Allegro's planning packet is so simple and straightforward; it takes a lot of the pressure off, and makes the planning process feel easy and manageable!
I also HAVE to emphasize how patient and caring Dori and her staff were as I had to cancel my wedding date in 2021, and reschedule for 2022. I know so many COVID brides who were completely ghosted or put out by their wedding vendors during the pandemic, but Allegro was incredibly compassionate and accommodating, despite the fact that I'm sure the pandemic was hard on them as well.
Our reception was absolutely perfect! Jason and his assistant were a dream team, and never left me wondering what we were supposed to do the day of! Their announcement timing for different events throughout the night was perfect. They blended a great amount of party music to keep the guests dancing all night long with my and my husband's favorite songs flawlessly. Due to some last minute antics on the part of the reception venue at the end of the of the night, my husband and I had to miss our last dance, but when my husband asked if they could replay the song, they were happy to do so, which was extremely kind considering the long night of work they'd already done. I absolutely made sure to leave a tip!
Seriously, if you're still thinking about who you should go with for your celebration, just pick Allegro! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Allegro! You made planning my wedding reception a joy!

I found Allegro through a Bridal show. Dori was nice to work with throughout the whole process. Our reception was in a somewhat untraditional setting but our DJ did a great job of ensuring we had a fun night!

Hi Nicole, CONTRATULATIONS! Thank you for choosing Allegro Entertainment, and for taking the time to leave a review. I also appreciate you explaining why we received a 4 out of 5 star review, when you stated that your DJ did a great job. Dur...
ing your planning process, I had mentioned a bilingual DJ that we had just hired that we could schedule as your DJ for the night of your wedding. Unfortunately, by the time your wedding day had come around, that particular DJ quit. I wish I had control over other people's decisions to stay or leave a company, but I do not. However, I DO have power to make sure that your wedding day is fabulous, so I scheduled one of our MOST REQUESTED DJ's to work your event. He said everything was wonderful, and your review supports his statement. As you know, Allegro Entertainment goes above and beyond for our clients. We provide you with detailed planning documents, meet with you several times before your wedding day, and even schedule a visit to your wedding day venue to do a walk through with you. With all of that being said, I personally had a great time working with you, and feel this review is a bit unfair, based on the circumstances. Either way, I wish you and Arturo all the happiness, and many blessings in your married life♥ Sincerely, Dori Abell
We picked Allegro for our wedding reception very early on because of their great reviews. Dori and her team are rockstars. She came prepared with lots of ideas for lighting our venue, she had advice and answered all of our silly questions. She met with us several times and even came early the morning of the wedding to make sure everything was set up perfectly. DJ JAMES was awesome! He called me several days before our wedding to make sure everything was squared away and asked if we had any questions. He even arrived early to set up and was in cahoots with our coordinator, photographer and family members all night to ensure a smooth run of our reception. Our guests loved his music choices and he was very open to requests by our guests. He kept the party going all night long! They are fun to work with, very accessible to contact, and clear with their plans and documents. I can't recommend them enough!

Allegro Entertainment was amazing, from the moment I meet them at a wedding show I know I wanted them for our wedding. We had to change our date and they worked with us every step of the way. They helped create a perfect mash up Song for my father daughter dance and helped keep it a surprise from my husband. Eric was our dj and everyone loved him, he helped keep the party going even after an emergency happened.

Allegro Entertainment could not have more professional and BEYOND flexible. Our reception stayed on time throughout the entire evening, our guests were so happy with the playlist and we had the dancefloor going until the very end! Everything was wonderful!
Allegro provided an incredible DJ, Eric, for our reception! Also a string trio that played before and during dinner. Everyone commented on both..they loved the music and song selection.

Dori was very prompt with responses and had such a calming effect when working through details. It put my mind at ease that everything was going to be great!
Eric had people on the dance floor all evening! So energetic and loving his job!
Allegro also came through for us when our original Photo Booth cancelled on us due to COVID, at 9 days before the wedding.
The Selfie Station was a HUGE HIT! Everyone loved it and it was so much better than our original plan. We can't thank them enough for the amazing job they provided on our big day!

I've been working with Dori since I started working at Bogey Hills Country Club. I only have vendors on our preferred-vendor list that I’ve personally worked with that I can vouch do an above-and-beyond, outstanding job… Allegro never disappoints. Dori is extremely professional and efficient. I always know our brides are in excellent hands with her, so I never have to worry. She is always quick to return an email or phone call, and her organizational skills keep every event on-point from beginning to end. One of my favorite qualities about Dori, is her warmth and care when meeting with our brides. It's a wonderful blessing to get to work with another professional who is upbeat and positive, exuding passion for their work. I am very confident and grateful to be able to recommend her to our brides for their big day!
Seriously beyond amazing! They were so beyond helpful with helping us plan all the details from the lighting, monogram and getting the perfect song selections. Then I spoke to our DJ Martin a few days before the wedding and wow he made me feel like nothing could go wrong! He was so perfect and energetic! Everyone said how amazing the DJ was and how they couldn’t stop dancing. I definitely recommend them and will use them again if we ever need a DJ for an event!

Our wedding was a dream and that was in HUGE part to Allegro! They did an amazing job with our live music and our DJ kept the party going all night. The ONLY reason I was hesitant to leave five stars was our DJ started our first dance while we were still sitting down so we missed about 20 seconds of choreography. We were in dance classes for 18 months so not getting to do our whole dance was a little bit of a bummer. But everyone loved it regardless. I highly recommend Allegro! The communication was amazing and the quality of service was outstanding!

rench into your plans, but it sounds like everything all came together the way you had planned, and that makes my heart happy. I'm sorry to hear about the let down on missing the first few seconds for the First Dance song. I think our DJ would have waited for you to be on the dance floor to start the song if he knew there was a choreographed dance to it. I knew you had a special version of the song, but we didn't have any other notes on the agenda. Thank you for leaving such a kind review, and we would LOVE to work with you again in the future if you ever need live music & DJ services again. From all of us at Allegro, Stay Happy, Stay Healthy, and we wish you Many Blessings in your married life♥ ♪♫ Sincerely, Dori Abell
Our experience with Allegro was excellent from start to finish! Their pricing is extremely affordable, and we definitely got more than our money's worth of value! They are organized, professional and were so flexible as we were deciding whether or not to continue with our wedding as planned amidst COVID. Dori made planning easy, and DJ Eric was amazing the night of the wedding! Very kind and had the right amount of engagement with our guests. We heard all of the songs we wanted to hear, and our guests danced all night long.

a. Go to Allegro for all you DJ needs. Allegro came with our wedding package and I couldn’t be happier. From the day we booked our venue, Allegro reached out and sent us a packet to house all our songs for the ceremony and reception. They have you choose songs from grandparents and parents walking down the aisle to songs you want played at your reception. The packet is very detailed and they even send song recommendations! We love being on the dance floor so we wanted a DJ that would really entertain our guests. Isaac was the perfect DJ for us. He played songs from our list, took requests from the guests, and interacted with them all night. If you’re looking for a night filled with dancing look no further!
We had our wedding Saturday January 11th; Matt was our DJ and he did great! He checked in on my husband and me before announcing everything and communication was always had which made the night smooth. Everyone said wonderful things about him and we had a great time!
The lighting we had Allegro put around our venue was also beautiful and helped tie the whole place together. I have no complaints!

We chose Allegro for our wedding on Friday September 13th of this past year and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. They’d DJ’d one of our friends weddings and then had also come recommended by our venue, and we were sold. After meeting with Dori I felt 100% comfortable. A week before the wedding our DJ Eric contacted me to talk and make sure he had the schedule right which I absolutely loved. I could tell he was going to be perfect just from that first call. The day of the wedding Eric was great about making sure to remind us of our timeline, but also being lenient and going with the flow when things inevitably got a little behind. He played all of the songs on our requested list but also took requests straight from the floor and played great choices of his own throughout the night. One thing Eric did that I thought really went above and beyond was hunt down my dad who was outside smoking cigars because his song request was about to come on. Super sweet of him and my dad was very grateful. Overall I couldn’t recommend Allegro Entertainment more. They’re incredibly professional and are worth every cent spent with them. If you want the best, then they’re it.

I cannot recommend Allegro enough! My husband and I had no idea what we wanted in regards to music for our reception and we didn't decide to book a DJ for our December wedding until July. We were able to book Allegro at an unbeatable price! Dori responded quickly throughout the entire process and was so friendly. A week before our wedding, our pianist let us know he could no longer play during our ceremony. After a quick email to Dori, we had all of our ceremony planned with Allegro! We were so relieved we were able to add our ceremony on to our package with just a week's notice. At the wedding, DJ Eric did a great job with the timeline and worked seamlessly with our venue and photographer. He was so friendly and definitely impressed our guests! I can't imagine a better experience!

Allegro Entertainment was a pleasure to work with. They were flexible and accommodating of our ceremony and reception with a break in-between. They were also very flexible and accepting of changes to our outline throughout the planning process. Dori Abell was exceptional - she was very organized, friendly, informative and offered great advice/suggestions to us. Our wedding DJ, Eric, was good. There were some hiccups during our wedding party entrance, but he played good music throughout our reception. We were happy with their DJ services.

Dori Abell
We were thrilled with our decision to work with Allegro for both our ceremony and reception! Dori worked with us to meticulously plan every detail leading up to our day, including lots of our unique song choices and individualized requests. Matt was also a great DJ the evening of, especially working with my dad to craft a special toast including various songs. He was personable and kept everyone dancing until the last song of the evening. Thanks so much, Allegro!

We had the best experience with Allegro! Highly, highly recommend! Our DJ, Eric, was amazing. He was extremely nice and outgoing. He made sure we were all on the same page. If things needed to be changed quickly, he did not hesitate. It was hard for me to plan everything and then hand it over to other people, but Eric made it so easy! He kept everyone dancing on the dance floor until the very last song! He was amazing!

Allegro was very organized and easy to work with! We had DJ Eric for our wedding. He called us the week before to make sure all of our details were correct in our schedule. We purchased a light that included our names and wedding date. I really wanted it projected up on the stone fireplace at our venue and Eric made sure that happened. He also brought uplighting that enhanced our venue! We really liked his DJ booth setup as well. It looked so cool and professional. He kept us on schedule throughout the night. He made changes to our music genre during our reception at our request and kept people dancing, despite a tricky venue layout with the bar and photo booth being around the corner away from the dance floor! It was such a fun night! We would recommend Allegro for any event!

Allegro, Dori, and DJ Pierre did an amazing job for our June wedding! From the beginning stages of the planning packet to the day of ceremony and reception music, we loved working with this great company! They were so easy to work with and helped answer any questions we had in an extremely timely manner. The planning process was easy and Dori was eager and willing to help us with anything and everything along the way. As far as the day of the wedding, DJ Pierre did an excellent job at honoring our requests and we had guests dancing all night long! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to make our dream wedding come true. Thank you so much!

The cocktail hour songs were just what we had imagined and he stuck to our playlist during the reception. Everyone had a great time and danced the night away!
I don't know whether or not Eric was aware, but our wedding coordinator provided to us by Defiance Ridge was not able to make it to the wedding. I was terrified, but with Eric’s help, he kept us on track to leave the venue at the time we had planned. We had about an hour left and he somehow seamlessly got the first dance, father daughter, mother son, bouquet toss and garter toss done in time.
We really appreciated our phone meetings with the owner, Dory, they were super helpful. Without having a wedding coordinator, I was incredibly grateful to receive a clear outline of events from Dory. I'm a planner, so it was awesome to have you go through things step by step.
Thank you for everything!
They were amazing! Eric helped our night run smoothly and played everything on our playlist. Dory, the owner, sent us a timeline and went through everything.
We chose Allegro for our wedding ceremony and reception last weekend because their pricing was good and one of the photographers we talked to recommended them.
The planning process for DJs is one of the most efficient processes I've ever used. The team would respond within minutes of my emails with detailed and clear information.
They use a planning packet, which we filled out and returned, and then we iterated with them, sending the agenda back and forth until we had every piece just perfect. We had one Skype call with one of the team members, which was really productive. They were flexible with us on timing, song selection, and the entire planning process since we were planning this wedding from 200 miles away.
Four days before the wedding, we got a call from the actual DJ assigned to our wedding, and he had clearly read and understood the agenda and was flexible with last minute changes.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding, and the DJ was just amazing. He made a point of introducing himself to all relevant parties. He arrived on time and professionally dressed. He played the songs we asked him to play when we asked him to play them. All songs for the ceremony were perfect in volume, length, etc.
At the reception, our wedding was mostly an older crowd on a Sunday afternoon without much alcohol, and he managed to get them all dancing.
We had a ton of fun dancing at our wedding and some of the best moments are due to the wonderful music that he supplied.
The DJ also worked well with the other vendors and day of coordinator and kept the appropriate pace for the wedding: not too slow, but not rushing.
Lastly, the DJ knew to check for the photographers before starting significant events like toasts, cake cutting, etc. We would never have thought of that, but he did and it was really thoughtful and awesome.

Angie was very professional yet personal when working with us on our DJ set. I came to here with only 2 months until the wedding and she was able to get everything set and ready. She made it all very easy. Our DJ Matt was also amazing. He made it fun and entertaining, as well as got everyone to dance the entire time. Love working with them!!

Our wedding was in Columbia, but all of the local vendors seemed to charge more, so we outsourced most of our vendors from St Louis or Kansas City. We decided to go with Allegro for DJ services because, frankly, they were the most affordable and with the best reviews. They're very much a streamlined business - you talk with the head lady, she gets your details, and then assigns you to a DJ two weeks before your wedding. You have one call with your DJ 2 days before your wedding to go over the timeline and any issues you may have.
Our DJ was a nice guy and was really into the kind of music we wanted played (oldies). The only real issue was a lack of communication between him and our photographer for a couple of important moments - and I'm not sure who to blame for it, honestly - but the photographer was unaware of our entrance and our exit as they were being announced at both the beginning and end of the night. The DJ apologized and they went back and "staged" entrance photos of our bridal party, but it was a little sad that we missed out on those - and we didn't bother staging our exit photo again. We also asked if it was possible that he play an engagement video of us on the reception venue's overhead projector before he announced our entrance, but apparently Allegro doesn't permit any of their DJs to play any videos from their computers - either on DVD or hyperlinked in an internet browser.... so we missed out on doing that, too.
Overall, the DJ did a good job, though, and I'd recommend him if you're in the market for DJ services. He played the exact type of music we wanted, and a lot of folks complimented us on his personality and how fun he was doing announcements and making jokes throughout the night.
Allegro was an affordable option that did a good job for our wedding, and we were happy at the end of the night with the services they provided to us. I recommend them if you're in the market for an affordable DJ in mid-MO.

Hi Mrs. Webber ~ First of all, I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS from all of us at Allegro Entertainment! I'm glad to hear you had a fun wedding day experience, despite the two issues you listed above. I appreciate you taking the time to leave ...
us a review, as we welcome every opportunity to listen, grow, and improve. I'd like to personally respond to your concerns as I agree that there must have been some miscommunication somewhere along the lines. #1.) As you know, we take our planning very seriously so that all details are discussed and typed into an official wedding agenda to be executed by your DJ. (SIDE NOTE: We pair up our DJ's to our clients based on personality and music selection. I'm happy to hear that you liked DJ Eric! I knew he'd be a good fit based on what you were looking for in a DJ.) When your wedding party arrived to the venue, DJ Eric was there to line up the wedding party, and give you the heads up that he was going to make the introductions and play the music you selected. I'm unclear how your photographers would have missed seeing this preparation for entrances, but I am very sad to hear they missed the photos. #2.) Videos - Allegro Entertainment does not offer any packages that include audio/visual services for videos of any kind. We are an agency that offers Bands, DJ's, Event Lighting, and Planning. - I was never informed that you were interested in playing a slide show during your wedding. This was never brought up at the time of booking services, nor during your planning process. I would have gladly referred you to an audio/visual company to make this happen for you. When you booked Allegro Entertainment, you contracted us to provide DJ Services = (Pro Audio Equipment, LED Dance Floor Lights, Illuminating Booth, Custom Playlists, Wireless Mic, DJ/MC for Mixing Music & Announcements, Pre-Event Planning, Wedding Agenda.) On your wedding day, we provided everything we promised we would, and I'm happy to hear you would be willing to refer us to other couples. Thank you for choosing Allegro Entertainment, and I wish you all the happiness & blessings in your married life♥ - Sincerely, Dori Abell
I am so happy with this entertainment selection. I had an awesome playlist selection. My DJ Eric was an awesome announcer. He didn’t overkill it he made sure people were dancing which was my top priority. He knew who to cater too and when to switch it up. I didn’t have much of a chance to speak with him personally since I was out of state. Even with little communication it still went effortless. He just went on the fly and it was perfect. He stayed on schedule and kept the flow of my reception moving. I couldn’t be happy with Eric as my DJ. Thank you for being so easy and making it go so well with how little we spoke but I couldn’t appreciate your service more! He is someone I highly recommend thank you for everything!

Dori was so great to work with and was super accommodating! We had a lot of custom requests for our wedding reception and she was happy to make any change we requested during the planning process. Our DJ was very nice and made all requested announcements right on time. Would highly recommend for anyone in need of a DJ for their wedding!
They were so easy to work with! Dori made all the planning so easy! Our Dj Isaiah kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night and everyone had so much fun! Highly recommend using their services for your wedding! They also have fun uplights and personal monogram lights which give your venue a totally customized look!
Great experience working with Allegro. Dori was so amazing! Such good customer service. She helped me set up a surprise for the groom. She was super quick at answering emails with questions I had. Our DJ Eric was awesome, he kept our guests dancing literally until the last minute. Would highly recommend!
Dori was one of the most responsive and accommodating vendors that we worked with!! She was always on top of it and doing whatever changes needed to be made to ensure that everything we asked for was provided. Our group danced the entire night and still didn't leave the dance floor when the DJ was starting to pack up their equipment to leave- so much fun! Highly recommend!

We had a very great experience with Allegro Entertainment. We had a lot of contact with them prior to the wedding in order to make sure everything was setup, and to make sure that we had everything planned out appropriately. They were great at being the source of most of our planning of those things that we would have never thought of, such as what songs would be playing during the reception line, etc. They were very helpful into the months leading up the wedding, and were always very quick and detailed in any answers to questions that we had.
A few days prior to the wedding, we received a call from our actual DJ, Pierre, in order to meet him on the phone and tie up any loose ends. We were overly excited after our phone call with anticipation, since he seemed so great on the phone.
Pierre was one of the best DJs of any event that I have ever been at, and I had multiple guests at my wedding actually come up and say that they thought the DJ that we hired was awesome. He was more than accommodating to any requests that my bride and I had for the wedding. We asked him to play specific songs, stay away from other songs, but also was vague in our direction of “Just keep people dancing and on the floor”. He was able to meet every one of our requests. We had an adult-only wedding, so I was a little concerned with how packed the dance floor would be, but he was able to keep more people on it than I would have ever imagined. He was great at talking to the crowd, and wasn’t one of the DJs who talked after every song or not at all, which was perfect. Our wedding ended at 11 at night, which I thought would be completely empty at that point, but we had people dancing all the way through our last song of the night.
We could not have been more pleased with Allegro Entertainment and Pierre. They exceeded every one of our expectiations. They were very professional and also made sure that the fun was maximized throughout the night. We are very appreciative of all of the hard work they put in towards making our day as special as it was.

Wishing you all the happiness, and many blessings! Sincerely, Dori Abell Ottolini
Our DJ was on time, had no issues starting, and played the music that we asked. He was a bit quiet though, so we missed some of the announcements. Had to have him repeat some announcements. The music played loud enough though. In the end we still had a great time.

Allegro did an amazing job with our wedding. Dori did an incredible job organizing the event and was very helpful with quickly responding to any questions I had throughout the process and worked with me through several changes with music. The DJ the day of the event took care of everything, and gave me a call to introduce himself prior to our wedding. We enjoyed having the ability for our guests to request songs throughout the night and he kept a good vibe of people dancing all night long. We had an issue with our first dance song starting after the intro but he was able to fix it and it all went very smoothly. Extremely professional, and I would highly reccomend.
Allegro entertainment was WONDERFUL to work with!!! They were very organized and helpful through the entire wedding process!!! Our DJ, Isaiah, was great!! The wedding was a success because of the time and effort Allegro put in!!! Thank you so much! We are forever grateful!!!
Dori , kept us on point and very easy to work with very fun experience, Dj Isaiah amazing outgoing kept the party going !! 09/02/18 Mr&Mrs Lacey
Dori the owner of Allergo Entertainment is amazing! We could not have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. She not only helped us plan the ceremony and reception but she coordinated the day of events. She took care of all the details from helping the caterer with set up, lighting and ceremony procession. We could just enjoy our day and be stress free. Now knowing how much time it takes to plan a wedding don’t bother doing more research for entertainment, choose Allegro! Thanks Dori!!

The owners at every nice and do a good job of asking you about all the details, but they are not the ones who do your wedding, so when it came to the day of the DJ was asking us about some details at the last minute. I put that I wanted to allow guests to make requests, but even when I made a request the song never got played. During one of our dances, another song faded in and out and he wasn’t great at reading the crowd when a certain type of music wasn’t working. I think he did an ok job, but it wasn’t perfect.

I found Allegro on this website and I could not be happier with their services! Dori made the whole process straight forward and was super friendly to work with. DJ Eric was great; we had a small crowd and went for an extra hour (for New Year's Eve), and he kept up his energy and enthusiasm the entire night. The GoPro and the extra lighting made a huge difference for the reception in making it look amazing. They were a very professional team to work with and made sure our night was fantastic. Thank you, Allegro!

Allegro was so easy to work with and they did such a wonderful job! I had my wedding at Riverbend Chapel in Washington, MO and they always use Allegro. Riverbend contacted Allegro about my booking and Dori from Allegro contacted me with plenty of time to organize my desired playlist for the wedding and reception. The forms were easy to follow and complete and Dori always responded in a very timely manner. We had DJ Andrew for our wedding and he did a wonderful job with the music both during the ceremony and the reception. Such a wonderful company to work with!

I cannot say enough good things about Allegro. Dori was so easy to work with, answered all my questions, and we had no trouble communicating with her despite us living out of town. We chose to make playlists for the prelude, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception and we were so happy Allegro was accommodating to that. Eric did our ceremony and reception and was absolutely wonderful. Our ceremony was a bit behind due to rain, and he coordinated with our photographer to ensure that our first dances and cake cutting happened before she left for the evening. I'm so glad he was so on top of our schedule, otherwise we may have missed out on those photos. He played the songs we chose in such a great order, and the songs he chose to add in were perfect additions. The dance floor was packed all night and we got so many compliments on our DJ. I would 100% recommend Allegro to friends and family!

DJ sat very quite. I asked him to announce photo booth, he never did. We asked for medium personality, got no personality. Was like someone just playing music. Very disappointed. At 700.00+ would expect much more. Called Dory. She gave me 100.00 back. But still feel we were jipped. Could have just had a friend play music.

Dear Kathy,
I am sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with our services. We had a wonderful time working with your daughter and new son-in-law, and was quite surprised when I received your phone call following the wedding. The complaints ...
that you made were not taken lightly, which is why we issued a partial refund for the missed reminder announcement about the photobooth. The DJ you are referring to has been with us for over 6 years, and has several 5-Star reviews on this site, as well as many others. All of our online reviews reflect our dedication and reputation in a positive light. Moving forward, I hope that you can take away fond memories of your daughter's wedding day, and I wish you all the happiness. Sincerely, Dori Ottolini
I couldn't have asked for a better DJ or company to help our reception run so smoothly. DJ Eric was AWESOME, followed exactly what I had planned out for our music, and was very attentive to all of our music and evening flow needs. I highly recommend them!
Working with Dori at Allegro was amazing. Dori helps you plan out every single detail and kept us on track with deadlines, so I didn’t stress about planning things at the last minute. We booked Allegro at a wedding show and received 10 free uplights which made our reception look even more beautiful. Our wedding night was amazing and would recommend Allegro to anyone needing an amazing DJ!

She sent us a really comprehensive packet to fill out about 2 months before the wedding that was super useful and once it was done, they had everything they needed for our day. Our DJ Eric was absolutely wonderful on the day of. He was enthusiastic, fun, and friendly to guests but not obnoxious or cheesy. He did a wonderful job playing songs we selected in our planning packet but incorporating fun requests from guests too. Would highly recommend Allegro and would choose them again in a heartbeat!
My wife and I chose Allegro for our wedding and they did not disappoint. Dori at Allegro keep us on track with deadlines and helped us get a timeline of the reception evening. Our DJ Jason rocked our dance floor on night long. We had people on the dance floor for 3 full hours. We have all been to that wedding were the DJ killed the reception, just no flow with the songs; not up with the new songs. Highly recommend DJ Jason to keep the dance floor full all night long. Only negative was we were suppose to get a phone call with him prior to the date which we didn't to talk through the previously agenda and we didn't get that. A few minor mix ups with the toast timing and later in the night as well.

Hi Mrs. N! Congratulations Again! It was a pleasure working with you two! Jason said it was an excellent party! I am sorry to hear that he didn't make a connection with you prior to your wedding... I will be sure to ask him about that since...
that is very unusual of him. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment, and for choosing Allegro Entertainment! Wishing you a Happily Ever After!!! Sincerely, Dori Ottolini
Allegro was fantastic to work with! We got exactly what we wanted and what we did not want which was very important to us! Very reasonably priced and would recommend to anyone planning an event!

ure to pass on your kind words to DJ Jason! From all of us, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! Sincerely, Dori Ottolini
We used Allegro for both our ceremony and reception. We couldn't have been happier. Dory did our ceremony, and we had a last minute change of scene due to rain. She handled everything and adapted things easily. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Our DJ for the reception was Eric, and he couldn't have done a better job. He read the room and and guests and played music that everyone, from 25 to 85 years old, could and did dance to. He was energetic, but didn't steal the spotlight and made sure we all had the best time. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

Our DJ (Eric) was amazing! He was so accommodating when we needed to move certain songs up and kept everyone dancing! We get tons of compliments-still- about our DJ and have absolutely no complaints with the company as a whole!

ations on gaining a daughter-in-law! Best wishes and blessings to all of you :) Sincerely, Dori Ottolini
Thank you all so much for keeping everyone up and out of their seats! We had so many compliments about how this was one of a king wedding where 100% of the people were up and dancing 100% of the time! The only reason I cannot give 5 stars us because there were a few songs and things done that were not on my list of songs that I worked tirelessly on to make sure the music was just right. But all in all, thank you all for such a great time!

Hi Mrs. P, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment about your experience! I'm overjoyed to hear what a fun time you and your guests had!!! That's wonderful! I know DJ Anthony had a great time working with you as well! One of...
the tough things about mixing guests' requests in with pre-selected playlists, is that there's never enough time to play each and every song. We would have loved to have kept the partying going on all night long if we could have! Thank you again for the kind words, and from all of us at Allegro Entertainment, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! And Happy New Year! Sincerely, Dori Ottolini
Dori was amazing and helped ensure the music ran smoothly. Very accommodating and flexible!
