Burning River Entertainment Group

If I could give Burning River Entertainment 10 stars, I would! I was so nervous to plan my wedding from across the country, but Gene made it so easy. He was quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns and really helped us have our dream rave wedding. He kept everyone dancing the whole night; we still have guests telling us how it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding! We also used a Photo Booth from Burning River Entertainment and the photos are so fun and beautiful to look back on. I can’t thank Gene and his team enough for making our wedding the best night. I would recommend Burning River Entertainment again and again; Gene truly lives up to being ‘the best dj in Cleveland!’

Gene is the man! He went above and beyond thinking through our timeline and helping us to create the day of our dreams! He handled all our last minute changes with ease and made everything happen the way we envisioned! He kept the energy high the whole night and all the guests commented how great he was. If you are looking for a DJ that feels like an old friend and fits right in with the wedding, book burning river!!

Gene and Burning River Entertainment were incredible! The dance floor was packed all night long, and so may guests raved about the DJing and music selection. Gene was great at playing all genres and eras and made sure all guests, old or young, would have a chance to get out on the dance floor! As an MC, Gene was also very at ease and looked like he was having a great time all night! He made sure the night ran smoothly and was very communicative with us about when we would move onto the next part. We also got uplighting and a curtain/lighting display for behind our head table. Both decorations made the venue come alive and look so beautiful! Thank you to Gene & Burning River for helping make our night so special!

Burning River was wonderful to work with for our wedding! Gene helped us with the planning process & made everything stress-free and easy. Our day-of DJ was Jamar, and he was fantastic throughout the day. He arrived super early (which put me at ease as an anxious person), was prepared throughout the ceremony & reception, & kept our guests out on the dance floor until the final minutes of the reception. Would absolutely recommend Burning River Entertainment for your ceremony & reception!

Burning River Entertainment was one of our best wedding vendors. They have a great portal for you to put all your wedding songs into as you think of them. Communication was great throughout the process. Alyssa was our DJ and was excellent. Our experience truly could not have been better!

Hands down one of the best decisions we’ve made! Gene can read the room like no other! He kept the party going until the vendor shut us down (literally!). He was great with announcements, flow of day, and partying! No regrets at all and highly highly recommend!

Gene and his crew were very professional. He played exactly what we had asked him to and everyone at our wedding was impressed by his set up and performance. We would highly recommend Burning River Entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ.

Gene and team did an amazing job for our wedding keeping people on the dance floor! Our wedding was an absolute blast and the dance floor was filled all night long. The must have songs we asked for were played and Gene did a great job engaging the crowd! Gene took special care to make it possible to play a recording from my Grandpa who is no longer with us. He created a copy so he could play it for us. This was above and beyond to give us something special. The ceremony music was perfect and our entry and cake songs were perfectly cut so we walked in and cut the cake to certain areas of songs. The edits felt natural and accomplished exactly the aesthetic we wanted. The planning process to ensure we had the correct timeline was an extra that helped me plan and understand how the flow of the day would go. Burning River knows weddings, they know crowds and they are superb at reading the room to make people stay on their feet with smiles on their faces!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Burning River made our wedding so memorable and fun and kept the party going all night long. Carlos was our DJ for the night and he did an amazing job mixing between songs, utilizing our playlists, and incorporating his own songs. He was lively and even performed a solo dance during our reception. All of our guests were raving about how great the DJ was all night long. Carlos made our wedding so unique and special and we HIGHLY recommend him if you're looking for a packed dance floor all night. Prior to the wedding, we met with Gene a few times to make sure all the details were in order and he was great to work with! He gave us lots of advice and was super personable. We cannot recommend Burning River enough, so if you're considering booking them, just DO IT!!

We used Burning River on 9/17/22 for lighting and DJ services at our wedding at Ballroom at Park Lane. They did a phenomenal job on the lighting setup! We had ordered globe lights across the ballroom, a lighted backdrop behind our head table, and up-lighting. Gene did a great job on set-up these up and they really transformed the space into something truly magical. He worked with us closely to provide his recommendations on the quantities, and we were really pleased with how it turned out. Gene was also really great as a DJ. Prior to the wedding, he had a very organized form to pick out all the important songs of the night as well as must plays and do not plays. He was a huge support in helping us finalize our timeline of the reception. At the wedding, Gene was energetic and really helped facilitate the flow of the events. We had things like a photo dash where he did a great job of explaining for the guests. He had set up sound in two locations of the venue, so speeches were heard clearly for everyone. He really nailed the vibe of the party and we had a packed dance floor all night! I was shocked by how many people we had dancing and it was such a fun time. I highly recommend booking them!

A few years before we got married, we were at a wedding with Burning River and thought they were the best DJs we have seen. They got the crowd involved and made the dance floor inviting to people that don't even typically dance. We knew when we got married we wanted to use them. I'm so happy we got their card at thay wedding because they were amazing! From our first meeting, we knew this was the company we wanted to go with! Gene was easy to get a hold of and to answer any questions we had. For our wedding, we were paired with DJ Ernie and he did an absolutely amazing job! He was so engaging and was really good at reading the audience and songs were good for the crowd. We felt really comfortable going up to him. We recieved so many compliments from so many people on DJ Ernie and the others with him. I could not recommend Burning River Entertainment Group more. We were so happy with everything!

I have hired Burning River Entertainment Group multiple times and couldn't have been more pleased every single time. Jamal has always been punctual, polite, friendly/outgoing, professional, patient (in times of crazy) etc. I would highly recommend to anyone for ANY event!

Gene was so attentive to what my husband and I wanted during our reception, even going as far as to finding us to make sure requests by guests were okay by us. He was so easy to work with and made sure our day was a hit. I'd highly recommend Gene for your big day!

Burning River Entertainment group made our wedding night incredible! Wish we could have partied til 2 in the morning. Also did our ceremony music, and they offer a website that’s perfect for adding any and every request you have during your wedding planning process. Very easy to work with and affordable. Definitely the DJ to go to in Cleveland! Thanks again Gene!

If you are looking for a DJ look no further than Burning River Entertainment Group. BRE was the easiest vendor to book and Gene was so communicative and it was so nice not not have to sort through so many DJ tapes and videos. I was a COVID bride and had to postpone my wedding in 2020, and Gene Natale was by far the easiest and most understanding vendor to work with during the pandemic planning. He was always positive, and supportive and was super flexible. Fast forward to 2021 when we had our celebration- he was incredible. He added string lights as per a last minute request at Mapleside Farms and took care of all the coordination with the. venue. He helped set up our ceremony guitarist and worked till 1:30 am taking things down at the wedding. Besides that, he was an amazing DJ and had something for every guest, and we had a group with a bunch of different taste. BRE brought so much fun to our wedding and was able to read the crowd and create the perfect vibe for our wedding. I would recommend anyone to use them and can't thank them enough for helping making our day so fun and so special, and especially for helping reduce stress! You won't regret booking BRE!

Gene is one of the best DJs in town. He’ll go above and beyond to make sure your night is going perfect

I met Gene at the Bridal Show in Cleveland just before the Pandemic. He impressed me as being professional. My daughter had a Pandemic wedding last year. (20 people outdoors) and Gene provided the ceremony music for the outdoor wedding at the Hanna Mansion Courtyard at the Cleveland History Center. (Western Reserve Historical Society) Then this year we had a reception at the Crawford Auto Museum. Burning River Entertainment provided a screen and projector so we could show a video of last year's wedding to those who couldn't be there last year. Gene was a great DJ! He was dancing and had everyone involved. Everyone said they loved the music, DJ and dancing. I would definitely use BRE again!

Gene was a pleasure to work with from start of planning through the wedding. He was always so enthusiastic and brought life to the party! He knew how to get people on the dance floor and does a great job of figuring out the style of music that matches the crowd! We would without a doubt use Gene and the rest of Burning River again!

Great experience, very easy to work with and made the entire process painless. Crushed it with the music selection day of and the photo booth was a big hit

Our experience with Burning River Entertainment was fantastic. Gene was extremely progressional, thorough and friendly throughout the entire process. That continued during the day of the event when we decided to extend an extra hour during the reception. He did a nice job reminding our guests to wear their masks, which was greatly appreciated. He kept the dance floor packed and everyone had a blast. I would highly recommend Burning River Entertainment for your wedding or event.

Incredible and fun! We had DJ Ernie for our wedding and he was awesome, our guests all loved his enthusiasm and style! He truly knew how to get everyone on the dance floor! For the planning process we worked with Gene who was super easy to get in contact with, made it fun and stress free which I really appreciated! We had a great time and would definitely recommend!

I am so happy with my service. They were very easy to deal with, very professional, and reasonably priced. Showtime, who was the MC, definitely stole the show. He constantly was interacting with all of my guests and we all had such a great time. My family to this day still talks about my wedding and how much fun the DJs were. They professionally helped keep us on schedule which was great and what we needed. All the songs were correct with no sound issues plus I had them mix 2 songs together for a special father daughter dance which went perfectly. Great company to deal with. I have definitely recommended them to some of my friends already!

Brandon and Gene were the DJ's for our 9/12/20 wedding. I would highly recommend them both to any couple looking for a DJ for their big day! Gene was very professional and very responsive throughout the entire process, and even helped us with planning out our reception timeline. We received many compliments from guests and even the staff at the venue how great their energy was and they had the perfect amount of engagement with our guests. My husband and I could not have been happier with the outcome. The evening went so smoothly and we heard every song we requested for the night. Such a memorable experience working with Burning River Entertainment!

Absolutely awesome job! Can't wait to hire Gene again for the next event!

Our original wedding date was May 16th, but we had to postpone to August 1st due to Covid. Burning River Entertainment (Gene in particular) was amazing throughout the entire process - from changing dates, to several phone calls to calm/reassure this Covid bride, and everything in between. Gene was always very responsive, professional, and upbeat. Gene truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, despite everything that was out of our control. Wedding planning is stressful enough, but to add a pandemic in the mix makes things much more challenging. We obviously had a much lower guest count, which meant a not as packed dance floor, but Gene did his absolute best to keep our guests feel as ease while still having a great time on the dance floor! He also swapped out our regular photo booth for an open air one to make us, as the bride and groom, and our guests comfortable - it was a hit! I wish I could rate Burning River Entertainment more than 5 stars. You will not find a more energetic or fun DJ as Gene! Also - any DJ that listens to the bride cry their eyes out, after a few drinks, at the end of the night because they’re so grateful and relieved that they were able to have their wedding, is a keeper ;)

There’s truly not one bad thing I could say about Gene and his crew at Burning River Entertainment Group! Our wedding was on 12/31/19 with over 320 people and we wanted it to be the party of the year....and let me tell you, it was!! Gene and his crew listened to exactly what our vision was and went above and beyond! I’m not even kidding, 6 months later and the one thing everyone still mentions is how amazing the DJ, music and entertainment was..all thanks to Burning River Entertainment!!!!! The photo booth was a hit and the up lighting was exceptional! Truly, everything was perfect. Thank you all for your amazing work! The music choices were perfect and Gene and his crew were out dancing on the dance floor all night and were the life of the party!!! You need to hire them. We love burning river!!!!!

Our experience with Burning River Entertainment has been amazing from the very first time we met them in 2017 at Rock the Veil. At the time, we didn’t even have a venue or a date picked out but we knew for sure that we wanted them to be our DJ. They stole our hearts and we never bothered with another DJ! DJ Gene was incredible to work with, he made the planning process fun and easy. I really am so grateful for his time and patience as we requested a lot from Gene, from multiple entrance songs, seamlessly extending the family dance song, accommodating to our surprise guest, Samantha Echo, to creating a special mix that included a surprise dance with my bridal party. Gene is extremely talented, friendly, made us feel comfortable and knew how to get us and the guests pumped. Day of the wedding, he delivered nothing but the best, for both sides of a biracial wedding. We loved that he even joined us in some of the dancing. Mike and I have been married for a little over a month now (Nov 2, 2019) and our guests are still raving about their time on the dance floor, even the best man who NEVER dances, said this was the most he’s ever danced in his life! If you’re looking for a DJ that understands that this is YOUR day, will meet your expectations and more, we completely 10000% would recommend Burning River Entertainment Group !

We were disappointed with our experience working with Burning River. I originally met Gene for a sales meeting and really liked him. We had agreed he would be our DJ and we were very excited. The month of our wedding while we were planning with Gene, we learned that he was not actually our DJ but rather Brandon would be. While I understand that things change, it was very frustrating to learn this so late in the game especially since we have never met or communicated with Brandon. Not much was done to rectify the situation. At the actual wedding, most everything went OK. We did have issues with the microphone during speeches. Our "must play" songs were played back to back as soon as the dancefloor opened which was annoying. We explicitly asked for no line dances and yet the Macrarena came on.. None of these situations ruined a day but definitely missed expectations.

Best DJ ever!!!!! Gene was awesome!!! He made our wedding into a huge dance party. Even my grandma was out there dancing to his remixes! All of our guests RAVED about our DJ!! The party never had a dull moment. He knew just what to play when. He brought foam glow sticks that people loved. Guests of all ages danced ALL NIGHT LONG!! He also brought along a break dancer which was a huge hit! The dance floor lighting was awesome! We heard over and over again that it was the best dance party they’ve been to at a wedding. And that says a lot since our venue was indoor/outdoor the whole night with beautiful gardens and cool lighting installations at night, yet the majority still danced the night away. We also used them for our photobooth which came with a custom monogram at the bottom of the photo strips and a photo album of all photos taken in the booth. Great deal and package!! I can’t say enough about how Gene helped make our night the most memorable!!

We met Eli over a year ago and knew he was a perfect fit for our wedding! To our surprise we were told around November that he could no longer be the MC for our wedding so we were a little nervous about what would happen; however Gene was great in taking over all the planning and answering any questions that came up and when our wedding day was here Brandon was our MC and Julian was the DJ and both did phenomenal! We had so many compliments on how great the MC/DJ was and they always knew how to keep the party going! If wondering who to go with hands down we would recommend Burning River and especially Brandon and Julian as they not only kept the party going but kept things organized/running smoothly! Can't say enough good things about them!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Gene and Burning River Entertainment. He brought so much hype and energy to our wedding- I can't imagine the evening would have gone as well as it did without him, he's got the perfect personality for this job! He kept the timeline of the night moving smoothly really paid attention to the party goers when choosing his song line up. We had numerous friends and family members tell us how much great energy Gene had and how much fun they had on the dance floor! Thank you so much for making our wedding night a blast!

Never did I think that our DJ selection would be one of the most commented on parts of our wedding reception, but Burning River Entertainment was!! Our guests raved about DJ Jesse and MC James "Showtime." Jesse played almost all of our requested songs and was spot on in feeling out the crowd to make the rest of the song selections. I never in a million years thought having an MC/hype man was necessary, but I was SO wrong. Showtime was an amazing addition to the dance floor and guests LOVED him! Thanks BRE!!

Burning River was fabulous for our Aloft Downtown wedding. Gene was so fun! He brought mixes, lights, and entertainment to the evening. He had all of our guests dancing all night long. Burning River is fairly reasonable for all that you get. I would recommend to everyone.

We are a couple from Pittsburgh that got married in Culpeper, VA. We heard Eli DJ at our best friend's wedding in Cleveland and knew that we wanted him at our wedding. He was so easy to speak to and understood that we were on a budget. He was able to work with our budget and provide the best service we could have ever possibly dreamed of. The music was amazing and kept the whole dance floor crowded all night. He even mixed our entrance song for us to combine two of our favorite songs. People still are talking about how fun our wedding was and that is thanks to Eli!

When it came to selecting entertainment for our Erie, PA wedding it was crucial that they were organized, professional and could keep our guests dancing the whole night. First, we reached out to the company on their website to check availability. Almost immediately, the owner, Gene, contacted us to set up a planning meeting. Gene explained all of the products BRE offers and how the pricing and packages are structured. He provided photo and video examples of DJ setups and outdoor lighting designs for our outdoor tent wedding. Since our venue was a complete DIY location, Gene helped create a custom package for us that included string light installation in our tent and both a DJ and MC/dancer for the reception. Our DJ, Nate was incredible. He kept our guests on the dance floor from the second it opened until the very end of the reception (including multiple “last songs”). James “Showtime” was our MC. He took the time to make sure he knew how to pronounce everyone’s name correctly in the wedding party for all of the announcements, and he kept everything on time according to the schedule we had developed with Gene at our planning meeting. Showtime is a professional dancer and he made all of our guests feel comfortable busting a move. He danced with guests of all ages and brought out the confidence in everyone. At the end of the night, the dance floor was still packed and no one was ready to go home. Since our wedding, we have been told countless times that it was the best entertainment people have ever seen at a wedding. I would recommend BRE to anyone, anywhere, because BRE is willing to travel and work reasonably with your budget.

Gene and Burning River Entertainment are top notch professionals. Very organized. Personable. And they treat their clients exceptionally well. Highly recommended.

Our wedding was October 2018. We had Gene as our DJ and I can not say enough amazing things about him! To begin we met with him twice prior to the meeting, not only was he very organized and knowledgeable but we spent hours just hanging out with him. He is funny, easy to get along with and overall such a great guy. He made the planning process beyond easy. At the wedding he kept the crowd dancing the whole time. He knows how to read the crowd and play music for everyone. He was having fun while being the dj which made the crowd have even more fun. I am still receiving compliments how amazing not only the music was that he played, but what a fun dj he was with such charisma. Do yourself a favor and use Gene- he will Make planning a breeze and the wedding a fun party! We are so happy we chose burning river!

When my DJ backed out of my wedding 4 days before the day, I freaked out. Spotify playlist was about the only solution I had. My husband found Burning River Entertainment, and we couldn't have been happier with them. From the moment we signed the contract, Gene was professional, on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable. DJ Vik was awesome! They even played an extra hour when we asked at the end of the night (not for free, but still...that's kind of awesome). Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience using Burning River Entertainment for our wedding.

Eli is THE MAN ! He kept our wedding rocking when we wanted to party and slowed it down when it was time to be romantic. He just felt the vibe of the crowd and the energy and it was just the absolute best part of our wedding. We met with him about a year before a little over year before our wedding and ever since then we been going back-and-forth talking about all the cool things that we wanted to do he nailed it. Absolutely nailed it.My wife and I couldn’t be happier we couldn’t recommend a better group of people to entertain a wedding. He kept the young crowd happy and dancing The older crowd happy with the slower songs that they want to dance you definitely get my wife happy because she was getting down on that dance floor ha ha Ha. Even at my 80-year-old aunt was ready to cut a rug because of Eli and his assistant sorry dude I can’t remember his name but he was so funny, he was even breakdancing out on the dance floor was amazing. If you want a terrible wedding book Someone else if you want the most amazing wedding of your life if you want your husband if you want your wife if you want your grandma if you want your little cousin Suzy to be happy book burning river they are the bomb that’s all I can say, they’re the best. Eli give me a call bro it’s Matt Przepiora. That’s how cool Eli is we became Bros! Hey man thanks for making my wife get to experience her fairytale wedding appreciate that!

Gene was our DJ for our wedding and we could not be more thrilled with how it turned out! I am still getting compliments on the music and how fun he was. He was extremely easy to work with and really captured our wedding vibe and what kind of music we wanted. All of our guests thought he was so fun and funny. We also used their photo booth which was equally great. We are so glad we went with burning river entertainment and can't thank them enough for keeping the party going!

We can't say enough good things about this group, especially Eli. Everything turned out better than we had hoped, and I truly mean that. There's two things that stand out the most from our experience with Eli. First, when we were discussing the entrances, my Wife and I hit a bit of a roadblock. My dad passed away when I was younger and we weren't sure how to handle the parents' entrance. Eli and I discussed this, at length, and without getting personal, it's obvious he truly cared and gave us some great advice and direction on how to handle this. What he helped us come up with was great and meant a lot to us and our family. Second, the job he and his group did at our wedding was outstanding. They were incredibly accommodating, professional and polite. The energy was great and I can't remember how many of our guests mentioned how awesome Eli and his partner (Who is also a hell of a break dancer) were. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention our "do not play" list. I hate the Dave Matthews Band, among others, and he was at the top of this list. My friends offered Eli at least $200 cash (Several times) to play ONE Dave Matthews song and he turned it down. The point is, they made it truly about us and helped make our wedding great. Thank you for everything.

If you want a DJ who will deliver on what he says AND give you MORE then Burning River Entertainment is the DJ service for you! Gene and his DJ's take pride in getting the party started and keeping your guests entertained and on the dance floor until it is time to leave.

Simply put, Burning River made our reception! The music was the second most important part of the day to my fiance and I after the actual ceremony. In fact, the first thing we did after we became engaged was make a wedding playlist! After meeting with several DJs we booked with Burning River because 1) they were willing to work with our rather detailed playlist, and 2) they were both excited about our choices, and eager to help make our wedding day perfect. And boy did they deliver! A few days out from the wedding we had a last minute MC change due to the recent hurricane making our first MC unavailable. But the pinch hitter didn't miss a beat! All of our must-play songs were played, and our guests raved about how great the music choices were throughout the night - both our songs and those chosen by the DJ! Our MC came up with some surprise moments that are some of our favorite memories from the evening. For instance, he took a random statement from our ceremony about my lip singing to my husband and asked me to do the same during the reception. I would never have thought of that, but I'm so glad he did - guests loved it and its one of my favorite parts of the day! They say that DJs make or break the reception. In our case, they made it perfection!

Gene and James were amazing! I can't say enough good things about them. Gene was fantastic with our timeline and picked great music all night while James kept people up and dancing. Almost all of our guests told us that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to and that Burning River is the best DJ they've ever seen! Thank you so much!

Burning River absolutely killed it at our wedding! Gene knew exactly what to play and when to play it to keep the party going and getting EVERYONE in on the fun. There was also an entertainer Gene brought that everyone just loved! We cannot say enough great things about this company! If you want your event to run smooth and everyone to have a great time you have to hire this company! Our guests are still talking about them!!! Thank you so much for making our day SO FUN!

Gene, Showtime and Burning River are just simply the best it gets.

Gene did a fabulous job at my daughters wedding, he was easy to work with, was prompt and reliable. Everyone enjoyed the wedding, he got everyone excited and dancing, many of the guests wanted to know who he was!

The honest truth is that these guys are MORE THAN WORTH the price! DJ Eli, Showtime and the rest of the Burning River staff were absolutely amazing in all aspects for our wedding on August 11, 2018. From our initial meeting in July 2017 through the wedding day itself, Eli and Gene were constant sources of creative advice and guidance to help make our celebration special. In addition to DJ services, Burning River also provided uplighting and drapery, and transformed our reception ballroom into a beautiful party space. DJ Eli threw a fantastic dance party at the reception and kept the dance floor full all night! Showtime mastered his "hype man" duties, worked the room all night long, and even provided dance lessons to our younger guests! We have received universal praise from our wedding guests about Burning River and words cannot express our gratitude for their role in our perfect wedding day! Our only regret is that the night had to end and we couldn't keep the party going. If you're looking for the absolute best in entertainment for your wedding (or really any other event), we absolutely recommend Burning River Entertainment!

Wow! Where to even start! Eli was so amazing to work with throughout the planning process of our wedding. He was excellent with communication which made me feel at ease as my husband and I were planning our wedding while living in London. He responded to emails quickly, and even scheduled a meeting with us the week before our wedding. He also sent us a link to an online portal for planning purposes where we could submit our timeline and list our song choices for cake cutting, first dance, bridal party entrances, etc. Eli was also able to think fast on his feet when we realized our large flower installation at the head table would block the view during our toasts. He quickly ran down to our Cigar Bar area and grabbed two chairs and placed them off to the side so our guests could clearly see us during the toasts! As the night went on, Eli checked in with Mark and I to make sure the timeline was running smoothly and quickly got the party started. He played all the songs we asked for and got all our guests on their feet and dancing! We also had the privilege of working with Ernie the night of our wedding! He kept our guests hype and even joined in on the dancing later in the night! Mark and I are so incredibly happy with how our reception turned out and most importantly, we were so happy to hear the feedback of our guests on what AMAZING DJs we had! I highly recommend Burning River Entertainment for your wedding day too!!!!!

Burning River was GREAT!! We had an out-of-town DJ without any equipment. We were so happy to find Burning River Entertainment Group - they were easy to work with with a very fair price. They brought out the equipment that we requested and had one of their people stay with the equipment and solve technical issues as they arose. We didn't know (til after the party) that a piece of equipment had to be replaced - the tech person swapped the equipment without any complaints or additional cost. I would highly recommend them!!

Gene and James brought so much entertainment and fun to our wedding. Both very talented. I appreciate Gene taking the time to go over wedding details and walking the wedding site in advance so we could have multiple plans in case the weather didn’t cooperate. Gene also spent time with us going over important songs to us and took time to understand the genres of music we’d like played. I highly recommend them!

Burning River was absolutely incredible!! Eli and Gene were so fun to work with, from the minute we met them to the last song during the reception. They entertained all the guests very well and provided great service during the whole process. Everyone could hear the ceremony as well as all the speeches. The music was great and kept people dancing all night, including people I had never seen dance at a wedding before! Thank you so much for making our day so fun!

We could not have been happier with Burning River Entertainment! Gene was fantastic and the music was spot on all night. He took the time to listen to what we were looking for and tailored the night to our style. Our guests were talking about how great the music was for weeks after. We would recommend to all of our friends and family!

Talk about the BEST DJ EVER! Based on our photographer's recommendation , my fiance and I met with to BRE to determine if they would be a good match for our wedding. Sure enough, after one meeting, we were sold! Honestly, hiring Eli and BRE was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, we told Eli we wanted a big party and wanted all our guests out on the dance floor. He knew our vision and promised that our wedding would be one to remember. Even with my hesitations of how acoustics would be in our venue, Eli reassured us everything would work out perfectly. And perfectly it did. Eli is an extremely talented emcee and dj, and we were so fortunate for everything he did for our wedding. Our guests STILL talk about how amazing our music and dj were! He made sure our vision became a reality and us, and our guests danced the night away. Thank you BRE and Eli for being the best ever!

Eli was our DJ and did an amazing job. The entire process was fun. From meeting to determine what type of music and lighting we were going to have to the reception where the dance floor was packed all night. He really tried to get to know what the couple was going for in a wedding and gave great insight of how to accomplish it. He came up with original ideas and really listened to everything we had to say. He also was great at entertaining. We got loads of questions after our wedding asking for contact information for this group. This is the guy to get.

Our party was unbelievable. Gene and Eli did an amazing job to make my wedding exactly what I envisioned. I can't thank them enough.

Eli was amazing. He was professional, fun and energetic the whole night. He definitely helped keep the wedding going smooth. The dance floor stayed packed and he truly did an amazing job! So great, that two of my attendees booked him for their weddings! I definitely recommend him!

If you are looking for a DJ to keep your wedding alive and fun, they are it!! Not only are they awesome DJs, they are awesome people that make sure your wedding day is one to remember. I highly recommend this company!

Hands down, best Dj's I have ever worked with. I have attended weddings hosted by Burning River as well as been the wedding photographer for many others. Eli and Gene are the amazing. Not only do they LOVE their brides but they are truly amazing entertainers. They are easy to work with and put on an epic event every time I have ever worked with them.

Gene did an awesome job with everything for our wedding. The planning process was really easy; Gene helped with many details for the timeline of the day and stayed flexible the day of adjusting the schedule based on how things were going. The music was awesome and sounded great throughout our entire large, outdoor venue! When the dance floor was staying fairly empty he was able to use his high energy and flashing light tubes to get everyone back on the dance floor. The set up of the lights and table was very appealing and professional. I would highly recommend Gene and his team; I'm so glad they were a part of our wedding day!

Burning River is seriously one of the best DJs I've ever listened too. Not only did they get all the wedding guests on the dance floor, they kept them there! Seriously my husbands uncle threw his back out dancing so hard! Everyone at our reception had a great time dancing the night away. It was such a great mix on new and old hits. We worked with Gene who was absolutely awesome, this guy listened as I couldn't find the shade of blush on the uplighting machines and made one up that was perfect! When I asked him to edit the father daughter song to adjust the tempo he remixed it so you barely knew anything was diiferent. They go above and beyond for their clients, they met with us on a late Friday night for a planning meeting to work around my hectic schedule. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a wedding but I may be a little biased.

From our first meeting to the close of the reception, Burning River was professional and accommodating. They gave great advice but were always great at listening to what we had to say, and their website was a great resource. Even when the unexpected happened (a member of the wedding party couldn't make it; an outdoor setup and a surprise downpour), they handled it quickly and seamlessly.

Excellent! Kept all ages on the dance floor all night. Definitely knows how to work a crowd and was really good about getting all our requested songs played. Very personable, organized and easy to work with. Two thumbs up. I would use them for any event.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Gene. He went above and beyond to make it the best wedding dance party ever. The music was spot on and the energy got everyone out on the dance floor. It was an amazing mix of old and new music. After the wedding, people in attendance could not stop raving about how great the DJ and music was. I offer my highest recommendation for this company.

DJ Eli was in charge of our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music for our wedding on August 12, 2017. He ensured everything ran smoothly from the sound system for the ceremony, mics on the groom and minister, and timing of the ceremony music, just the right background music for the cocktail hour, and being a great MC for the reception, interacting with our guest, playing the right type of music for a mix age group and having a full dance floor from the beginning to the end. DJ Eli delivered the party we were after! We cannot thank you enough!!!

The best DJ ever! Our wedding was so much fun because we had the music to keep the party going all night! Eli interacted with the crowd and helped everything run smoothly throughout the reception! I highly recommend them!

Wow, talk about ENERGY! Eli was amazing. I was afraid we wouldn't have many guests up and dancing but, I was so wrong. Eli played all the right music through the night. The dance floor had so much energy. He even came out and danced with us! He's super friendly and makes sure the night goes smooth. If you need a DJ that can have fun with your guests, play the perfect mix and keep things going smooth so you can truly enjoy the moment, Eli is definitely your guy!! Thank you for making this night one to remember! My guests raved about you all night!!! I highly recommend Burning River Entertainment!

Our photographer actually recommend this company to us. We sat with Gene and he went threw everything with us. Eli was a fantastic DJ and both of them handled mine and my now husbands in ability to make a decision perfectly. Honestly I don't even think I had a thing to do with the music or entertainment. They talked to us and understood the couple we were and put together a wedding that people still can't stop talking about. On top of that. The only glitch that could have happened at my wedding was a very drunk single guest, Eli took control so fast entertaining her and making sure she still had fun that no one even noticed. oneven noticed.

I was completely blown away by Gene from Burning River Entertainment. I was worried that my guests wouldn't dance, but his energy and enthusiasm got EVERYONE out on the dance floor. It was truly an epic wedding and I have to give credit to Gene. He was so organized and professional in the planning process-it's clear he really knows what he is doing. I was able to relax knowing that the music aspect of my wedding was in good hands. His song selection on point!!! Do yourself a favor and hire Burning River!

We worked with Gene for lighting, ceremony sound, and draping. The ceremony sound and lighting were great! The lighting was beautiful and really added to our event.

Gene was awesome. He kept the party going and was flexible with changes in our timeline. We where very happy and would use them again.
