By Design Entertainment, LLC

Kris was the first vendor we booked after we had our date! We have been to parties with him in the past and we knew we wanted to work with him. He made the planning process so simple with the app and him and Heidi are both the kindest people to work with. Everyone let us know how much fun they had on the dance floor all night and we owe that to Kris. We love that we have the photobooth memories as well to look back on--it was a huge hit!

A wedding DJ makes or breaks the party, and Kris made the party! By Design was incredibly attentive, and his system leading up to the wedding was so helpful and easy! Kris was great at reading the room and playing songs to keep everyone on the dance floor! My maid of honor mentioned my love of the Muppets in her speech, and at the end of her toast, Kris played the Muppet theme song, surprising us both. Such a nice personal touch and a great example of how awesome Kris is. Thank you!

We are so glad and so pleased and so happy that we booked Kris for our wedding! He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, very personable and professional. He had everyone on the dance floor from beginning to end from age 2 to age 70+! We had a small wedding but he made sure we party all night long! It was a last minute wedding (3 months)and booking a DJ out of the blue 3 was kind of worrisome to say the least. I just Google DJ in South Jersey, really happy he took us on a 4th of July weekend! Everyone had a blast and besides the good food the DJ makes it or breaks it! No pressure! Must book the foto booth as well! Our friends/guests are still talking about it! Everyone absolutely love it! Thank you and your lovely wife for awesome entertainment and great music! Much success and blessings!

Kris absolutely killed it for our wedding. We got so many compliments on the music and playlist! He got everybody out on the dance floor and worked with our other vendors to make sure that everything ran according to schedule. He even stepped in to help guide the flower girls from the sidelines when they got a bit lost walking down the aisle. We could not recommend enough!

Kris was amazing to work with! He was a great dj! He is priced very well and does a great job with everything!!! He provides the uplifting, and we also used his photo booth services and everything was perfect!! He was a lot of fun and really easy to work with!! I definitely recommend using Kris’s services!!!

Kris was great to work with and made the process so easy for us!

Kris was great!! Very reasonable pricing and played exactly what we wanted.

Kris and his PhotoBooth attendant we’re amazing! Kris answered my questions almost immediately. All the planning, timeline and song choices were handled in the Vibo app which was amazing. At the wedding he had a great personality, played a variety of songs and kept people on the dance floor all night. The Photo Booth was great and had a ton of fun props. Everyone loved it. The photos were available online the next day for us to send to our guests. I would definitely recommend Kris to anyone!

Kris was so easy to work with and really helped capture the vibe that my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. He was very communicative and always answered my questions in a timely manner. The app he had us use to plan our music was so easy to use and was one of the most fun things about planning the wedding. My husband kept commenting in the days after our wedding how perfect the music selection was! We also got the photobooth package, and it was a huge hit. We loved being able to see and share all the photobooth photos shortly after the wedding. My junior bridesmaid (7 years old) was obsessed with the photo booth and is in almost every picture (including one very sweet one from the end of the night where she insisted on getting a picture with the photobooth operator!) Overall, I would absolutely recommend Kris and By Design Entertainment!

Kris was amazing and kept our party going the whole night! Highly recommend!

I got married this past Friday and one of the best decisions I made was booking Kris to Dj our wedding. He was constantly on point with the music and had everyone dancing the entire night! I loved the music app he offered to upload specific songs we wanted to hear. Also the photo booth was a huge hit at our wedding!!! Kris was excellent at communicating with me and answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. I couldn’t imagine working with anybody else! Please don’t look any further and book with Kris for your big day!

this guy was fucking awesome.

Kris helped make my daughter's wedding so much fun. He's an awesome DJ and helped make it a memorable day!

Kris stepped in at the last minute to DJ our wedding when our original DJ unexpectedly quit just months before our wedding. I am here to say that we should have booked Kris from the beginning. He was entertaining, professional, and made us laugh during the centerpiece give away. Kris reads the crowd well and everyone loved the music, everyone danced for the entire reception up until the very last song.

Kris made my wedding a blast for everyone! He was an awesome DJ, and my guests had so much fun at the photo booth and with signing the guest photo book. He was very responsive throughout the process, was understanding of my hectic rescheduling throughout COVID, and made sure I had everything I wanted!

AMAZING! Kris really kept the party going an Heidi was wonderful with the photo booth. They got us the photos the next night and the music app the Kris gave us was very convenient easy to work with. If you have guests that really like to have fun and dance, book By Design Entertainment!!

Kris was an awesome DJ at our wedding about a week ago! He replied back quickly to any email that I sent him, he was very professional, he came early to set up all of his equipment, and he provided great music/entertainment throughout the entire night. We also used his photo booth services and everyone loved it! Thank you Kris!!

Kris was a phenomenal DJ. The app he provided was super helpful in planning our music, and he came well prepared. He kept everyone dancing all night and was a great MC.

Kris was awesome to work with! Very professional, and was attentive to our emails and requests. Would highly recommend!! By Design offers more than most DJs for an amazing price point!

Wow! I am so lucky that my sister and brother in law found Kris for their wedding in 2017. Once I began planning my wedding, I knew I wanted Kris as my DJ for my wedding. He was the first and only DJ I talked to when planning. He made the process easy and was helpful with what songs I would need and provided an app with suggestions. Kris also provided uplighting and a photo booth, which made our special night even better! Kris had the crowd dancing all night and ensured everything was great! Thank you so much kris, you are awesome, we are so happy you were apart of our day!

Kris was the best! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Kris was very helpful and knew exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for an awesome dj kris is your man!

Kris is the EXACT person we were looking for in a DJ. From the very first email exchange, I had a feeling this would be our guy! We met Kris in person to make a final decision and it was a no brainer. Kris is funny, personable and very responsive. He made everything so easy for us. When the day came, he exceeded our expectations. He followed through on everything we asked for and he was active with our guests but did not overpower the evening. Everything was perfect. Kris is extremely reasonable in price and we would hire him again in a second. Our guests are still talking about how great he was and how much fun he made the wedding. Hire Kris, you will not be disappointed, I promise!!

Kris is the best. DJ skills are phenomenal. He had just about everyone who wouldn't normally dance out on the floor. He was fully aware and respectful of our time, helping us to pace the events we had planned smoothly. And he was very good at exciting the crowd and keeping spirits high with the choice of music and with his MCing abilities. I highly recommend By Design Entertainment for your wedding, or any event that would warrant a DJ.

We could not have dreamed of a better DJ than Kris! I asked for his advice/opinion for multiple things during my wedding planning and he always responded to my emails so fast! He provides a very detailed form for you to fill out for anyone that he will announce. He also had us spell out people’s names phonetically so he would pronounce then correctly, and he confirmed them with the people in the bridal party on the day of the wedding. I was so impressed! I had been to a wedding where the DJ pronounced the grooms name wrong and it just came off terrible and I really wanted everyone’s names to be right. He was the perfect MC and kept us on our timeline so we got all of our activities in. He also played all of the songs we had put on our playlist and if we requested a song - it was the next song he played. The lighting was also fantastic! I had the most amazing time during my reception and Kris was a huge part of that. I didn’t want to leave the dance floor! He also made it so that we were able to get a group shot with every person that was at our wedding and we will have that for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend By design entertainment more for a wedding DJ!! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! Thank you so much!!

Kris did a great job with the music at out wedding reception! We were going for an old-school vibe, and he played all the classics that got all ages out on the dance floor. He played our favorites and even agreed to play an encore song after our last dance of the night (my family didn't want the party to stop!). He was very easy to work with and very down-to-earth unlike a lot of DJs we met with. He took the time to get to know us and added some cool personal touches to our playlist (like a final boarding call announcement for the Disney World monorail before our sendoff song...We LOVE Disney and honeymooned there, so it was a very cute surprise). Very reasonable price for an excellent job!

Kris really listened to what we wanted and kept the night lively. We also used them for photo booth services and the pictures turned out fantastic and were up on their website extremely fast. Would highly recommend!

Kris went above and beyond for my wife and I on our special day. We highly recommended their services and greatly appreciate the professionalism that was displayed. Kris was easy to get ahold of during the planning process and answered all questions promptly. You CAN’T go wrong here!

We could not be happier with our DJ service for our wedding! Planning was made easy and everything we requested was taken care of! Kris kept the crowd on the dance floor, interacted with everyone, and went above and beyond to ensure we (the bride and groom) were taken care of. Thank you Kris!

We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding than Kris! We booked him two years out from our wedding date and he was awesome to work with every step of the way! We had an initial meeting with him at Starbucks shortly after contacting him. He’s got a great personality and sense of humor. From the minute you meet him, you get positive vibes! We didn’t even meet with anyone else; we booked him immediately. During that two year span, we ran into some unexpected financial trouble and needed to cut down on our wedding budget & even change venues. Kris was willing to work with us & let us change a few things/cut out a few services we originally had wanted, which he definitely did not have to do! He’s the only vendor we kept when changing venues because we really wanted to keep him! We even moved to California (military move) in between that time and needed to converse with Kris over the phone until the wedding. There was a 3 hour time difference, but he still made it a point to talk with us even though it may not have been convenient for him. Every time we contacted him, he replied back quickly and was able to answer all of our questions. My husband couldn’t care less what type of music was played at our wedding, but I’m very picky and admittedly dislike most current music. Kris was accommodating to that & even upped our number of allowable “Do Not Play” songs haha! The Vibo app is nice & Kris definitely utilizes it! It’s laid out easily & divides everything up into categories. It even provides recommendations for certain instances that you may have overlooked or can’t think of (cake cutting song, bridal party entrance music, etc.) I recommend making notes on specific songs if you want Kris to make a shout-out or want it played at a very specific time because he does read them! We had a brunch wedding & not a very lively crowd. There was only a few people actually dancing and they were the ones up most of the time. Kris really tried his best to get everyone more motivated to get on the floor & even tried multiple methods. One was ingenious and worked for a while - he got everyone to crowd together on the dance floor for a group picture & then tricked them into doing the YMCA. Unfortunately they were a super tough crowd and most everyone seated themselves after that song. My husband and I truly appreciated all of his attempts, though, and still enjoyed ourselves even though most of our guests were party poopers! It also almost felt like Kris was our maitre’d - he was basically running everything! He was certainly more organized than our actual maitre’d and even checked up on my husband and I multiple times. About two weeks before the wedding, we realized we could afford the motion wall monogram of our names & asked Kris if we could add it in. He made a mock up of it to show us what it would look like & we loved it! It looked even better in person & he even added in some cool effects that we were blown away by! It was completely worth the price 100% We had a slight Disney theme to our wedding & Kris surprised my husband and I by adding the monorail spiel to the end of the very last song played. It was such a magical touch to the end of the reception & we even had multiple guests recognize it and smile! We cannot recommend Kris enough; he’s tremendously skilled & absolutely wonderful at what he does! We have no doubt we made the right choice & we wish we lived locally so we could use him again in the future for any other gatherings!

Kris was great to work with. The app he made us use made it easy to plan our music from ceremony to reception. Everyone had a blast!

Kris provided the music entertainment for our wedding this past weekend. Every step of the planning and execution was done with professionalism and ease. I can not speak highly enough of By Design Entertainment and strongly recommend this company! Our wedding was magical and Kris’s energy and enthusiasm helped to make our dream come true! Thank you!

We hired By Design Entertainment to DJ our wedding and we were not disappointed! Steve was the partner who DJed for us and he really listened to my requests and made it an unforgettable night! The guests were always dancing, and the music was a nice mix of everything to keep everyone happy and having a great time. We would highly recommend by Design Entertainment to anyone looking for an awesome DJ!

Book Kris now! He was so thorough with the planning process and made sure everything between flow, name pronunciations, and mood was perfect. He made adjustments as things went longer than expected and had open communication all night with my husband and I on any song requests/when we felt was good to play certain songs. He was upbeat, easygoing and made our night an ease. The dance floor was jammed the entire night and he always knew what song to pick if there was even a bit of a lull (which I’m not even sure there was one)! We have had so many compliments on how great he was, he was respectful of all age groups and knew how get all the generations out and partying. Thank you Kris for the best night ever!

We made a change at DJ at about 9 months out, and it was one of the best decisions in the planning of our wedding by switching to By Design Entertainment. Kris S. wowed us from the very start! Most of the DJs we interviewed were more interested in selling themselves to us, but Kris immediately wanted to know about us, our plans for the wedding, and took most of our initial phone call asking questions about how we wanted our wedding to go. It was really refreshing to talk with someone who cared and wanted to learn about us instead of pricing out his/her services and trying to validate why they should be paid that way. As for the planning portion, it was entirely seamless. He provided us with an app to help select music for various parts of the reception, as well as setting up the cocktail hour playlist. Pairing that with the timeline the venue gave us for all the aspects of our reception made everything flow perfectly! We were also able to pick songs for just about every aspect of the reception (we picked cake cutting music, shoe game music, etc.) and Kris was able to cue up exact portions of several songs for our wedding party introductions. It was executed flawlessly! Also, he picked up on various things throughout the night from the Best Man's & Maid of Honor's speeches and incorporated the Eagles Fight Song and a 80s/90s Boy Band segment to get people going! As for Kris' punctuality and professionalism, he is always on his A Game. He showed up when he said he would, and worked his magic with his uplighting and sound equipment to make our room look and sound amazing. Every bit of the night was right on cue, and we received countless compliments and praise on the DJ we selected and the quality of the music all night--praise that definitely belongs to Kris! In the short time since we've been married we have had a dozen people ask about our DJ, and some of those folks work in radio and at concert venues! Kris was some of the best money we spent for this wedding, and we really hope we get the pleasure of watching him work again soon!

By Design Entertainment was the one and only DJ service my now husband and I looked at. We booked them pretty much right away. We have absolutely no regrets! Since our first meeting with Kris, he made us feel extremely comfortable and answered all our questions. I even asked questions that was not related to music but general wedding stuff and he was a great help with that to! We had also booked the photo booth, which Heidi was running during our wedding night. She is so nice and everyone had a blast doing the photo booth. We absolutely loved our photo booth design; I still cannot get over how awesome/epic they are. Honestly I cannot rave enough how awesome Kris and Heidi are! Kris made my guests laugh and he even got some people I did not expect to dance actually dance. He has great timing when it comes to playing songs and announcing events throughout the night. Kris and Heidi made the night flawless. During my wedding day which was on October 6th 2018 there were other weddings at the same time but that night I felt we were the only ones there. As I mentioned earlier, we have no regrets and you will not either. Please do yourself a favor at set up a meeting. You will not regret it!

From the first phone call with Kris, we knew we had to have him at our wedding. Kris is such a fun, outgoing and kind guy that really helped make our reception so much fun. He helped us with our introduction to make it fun and lively and his attention to detail and desire to make sure everyone is having fun is unlike any other. His up-lighting truly transforms a room and we still can't believe how amazing our venue looked once his lights were set up. The photo booth was also a huge hit with us and our guests. Heidi, his awesome assistant was great with our guests and helped everyone out and was a delight to work with. We can't thank Kris and Heidi enough for making our night so much fun. We look forward to hanging out in the future!

Our DJ was amazing! We would definitely recommend Kris to everyone!

Kris was a wonderful DJ who kept people dancing all night and made the flow of our wedding perfect. I’d recommend Chris over and over to make whatever occasion your celebrating perfect!

We booked Kris & his team for music, photobooth, & lighting and everything looked and sounded amazing. We had a beautiful light monogram and uplighting that really transformed and made our ballroom so much nicer looking! The open air photobooth was a big hit and having the scrapbook is so much better than a regular old guest book, in my opinion. Kris was a great DJ and had everyone young and old dancing all night! He was very accommodating of our specific music requests and helped us pick certain songs that we were stuck on.

Looking for that perfect DJ for our Wedding was a big deal for us. After doing a lot of research DJ Kris, owner of By Design Entertainment, looked like he could be the right guy for our big day. We were not disappointed to say the least! Kris took the time out of his day twice to meet with us leading up to the Wedding. He listened to everything that we wanted. DJ Kris was truly amazing and kept the party going the entire night. He is not one of those DJ’s that just sit back and let the night go by. Kris got the crowd involved, even coming onto the dance floor to show some people that were struggling with the dance moves. DJ Kris played every song requested. Kris even made our ceremony sound beautiful! We have been to a lot of parties and Wedding’s with a DJ and we both agree, there is no other DJ like Kris. He is unbelievable! The lighting he set up and the monogram with our names on it were perfect. We also got the photo booth which can be a part of the DJ package. Heidi ran the photo booth and was incredible! She was so friendly with every single person that went in the photo booth! We cannot thank Kris and Heidi enough for the amazing work they both did! We have received so many compliments from family and friends on how they did. The next time we need a DJ or photo booth for a party or event, we know who to call! – William & Kristin Scully

Fantastic wedding DJ!!! Kris was such a pleasure to work with. He did an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire evening.We had so many compliments about the music and the flow of our reception. I don't have a single negative thing to say about our experience with By Design. Pricing, personality, and performance were exceptional. Thanks again Kris!

Look no further! Kris is your guy! By Design Entertainment created a flawless soundtrack to our wedding and made the night even more special. It was such a relief to have such a professional service during the most important night of our life. Kris was attentive to our wants and our dislikes and his dedication to his work is absolutely apparent. Our initial meeting was quick and easy and the deposit was reasonable. The week before the wedding we filled out easy to understand forms asking us for the wedding party names, our musical must plays, musical must not plays, it allowed us to customize the order of events of the reception if we wanted (we used the option to let Kris decide as he is the professional here)! His add-on services are a great addition as well. If you don't want to worry AT ALL about entertainment at your wedding, absolutely go with By Design Entertainment!

Kris & Heidi did an amazing job at our wedding!! We used them for DJ and 2 photo booths (one for cocktail hour and one at the reception). The price was way more affordable than anyone in the area, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. We got such great feedback from out guests about the music, and they truly helped to make our day perfect!!

BOOK KRIS NOW! :) He was FANTASTIC and you can’t let an opportunity for him to DJ for you pass you by. Our first meeting with Kris was great. We discussed our vision for the wedding with him, and he played music along the way that demonstrated his style and how it would work with ours. For our wedding, we asked Kris play music from our giant list of requests, but the best part was that he incorporated them so well! My father requested “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran, but didn’t tell me why. It turned out to be part of his father of the bride speech, and as soon as it was over, Kris invited the couples to the dance floor and played the song! I had no idea why my dad wanted that song, and Kris didn’t know either. Kris found the perfect opportunity to play that song and I’ll forever remember that. Another great touch by Kris was when he played the Eagles song after my sister’s speech. Both the best man and MOH speeches were sports-oriented and Kris got the feeling it would be a good time to play the song. It wasn’t planned, but it was fun watching as my husband went around the room cheering on the Eagles, with our guests getting just as excited. Kris even changed the uplighting to green for the song! All very nice touches! Kris also did a fun game to give away our centerpieces. His humor was great! We were making our rounds to our guests at that time, and watching them enjoy the game so much was a highlight. Kris was SUPERB and I cannot say enough great things about him. He was a delight from the first meeting, he went above and beyond with such small touches, and he really made our wedding day special. Thanks, Kris!

I'll be honest - while my fiance and I did a lot of work picking songs for our wedding, we spent a heck of a lot more time finding our photographer, videographer, venue, etc. DJ was almost an afterthought. I say this not to downplay how amazing Kris is, but to say that by the time I got to the point in my planning that we had to arrange either a band or DJ, I was tired of calling a bunch of places and going through hoops to get pricing. We had been stood up by another DJ company and I was honestly over it all. Enter Kris. After reading all of the great reviews, watching several videos of other weddings he's worked, AND (best of all!) being able to LOOK AT PRICING on his website, I was sold. We went for the DJ service plus the photo booth, and Kris took care of everything. Our ceremony went off flawlessly (we had several songs for each part of the processional/recessional), our reception was a BLAST, and so many people enjoyed taking photos in the booth. I never had a worry or care in the world. Kris was professional, incredibly friendly, and best of all (in a DJ) NOT CORNY. He kept the "DJ hype" chatter to a minimum and did a wonderful job mixing the long list of songs we requested in with his own selections. The dance floor was never empty, and we have HUNDREDS of photo booth pictures of all our guests enjoying themselves. Do yourself a favor and trust all his wonderful reviews. Kris is a gem!

Kris was everything I wanted in a DJ. He commanded the presence of the room, was clear in explaining things, professional, affordable, and most importantly, mixed great music! I could not be happier with our choice of Kris to DJ our reception!

My wife and I used Steve for our wedding 10/6/2017 at the Icona Golden Inn in Avalon, NJ. Steve was very friendly, professional, and he did an amazing job! Our guests loved him. He made everything flow perfectly throughout the ceremony and reception, making our special day stress free. I highly recommend By Design Entertainment.....Thanks guys!

I couldn't be more pleased with Kris and Steve from By Design Entertainment!! They did an amazing job at our wedding 2 weeks ago at Masso's Catering, in Glassboro NJ. Originally, Kris was supposed to be our DJ, so we met up with him at a Starbucks near our house about a month before the wedding to go over the music. We immediately clicked with him because he was so personable and sweet. He really made it a point to play music that my husband and I like, whether it was traditional "wedding music", or not. He made sure to write down names of bands we like, and really tried to get a feel for what music we would like to be played at the wedding. He was super nice, and great to work with. On the day of the wedding, Kris got in touch with me to inform me that he was unable to be our DJ that night because of a family emergency (totally understandable), and that he had an awesome replacement for us, Steve. I was obviously a little nervous because I haven't met Steve before, but I didn't let it stress me out too much because I trusted Kris. Well let me tell you, Steve was phenomenal!!!! He had my guests dancing all night, and played all the music that Kris and I talked about (and more) at our initial meeting. At the end of the night, when most the older crowd left, he played some songs from "A Day to Remember" and "Blink 182" that had our friends moshing. It was the most awesome thing ever. I've never seen that at a wedding before, and our friends had the time of their life. Steve was so great all night and was always making sure we were having a good time. Even my photographer was complimenting him, saying that he was playing awesome music. I'm so thankful for Kris and Steve for making my wedding a blast!! I wish I could relive that night again! I would recommend them to anyone. Steve and Kris are such talented and knowledgable Dj's, and they really know how to keep a crowd of all ages on their feet all night. I love you guys!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!

By Design Entertainment was one of the best vendor choices of the many that we made for our wedding on 6/3/17. Kris and his team were beyond professional and knew how to get everyone of all ages up and dancing. Kris had great emcee skills on the microphone. He kept the party going for the duration of the reception. Everyone was loving the photo booth. His up-lighting was fantastic and set the mood and we were very happy that we went with that last minute decision. After researching a lot of other DJ services in the area, no one could beat By Design's price while having the type of reviews they had on the Knot. The price point was perfect for the amount of value they provided. They certainly lived up to their Knot reviews and we are very pleased with their services. We wish we could repeat that wonderful day. Strongly recommend Kris and By Design Entertainment for any event!

Kris and Steve were amazing for our wedding. Very reasonably priced and communication was quick and easy. They were able to accommodate a last minute change to our originally scheduled booking and they made everything stress-free and professional. I was recommended to By Design from my bridesmaid who used them at her wedding and I already recommended them to one of my other bridesmaids! Everyone was dancing and having a great time with their music which is what every bride wants!

We are so happy we went with Kris for our wedding reception DJ. He knew how to keep the party going all night and was great with timing and running the evening smoothly. We didn't really pick out the music, just let him choose and he did a fabulous job! Everyone is still saying our wedding reception was so much fun and I know most of that goes down to the DJ. Thanks for a wonderful night! I would highly recommend Kris.

My fiance and I met Kris at a friend's wedding a few months before our own wedding. We remembered how personable Kris was and his music selection was fantastic. We saved his information and reached out to him for our wedding. Kris and Heidi were incredible. We used his lighting and also the photobooth. Both of which were next level. I loved how they were both partiers, but very professional. Kris was perfect. He was very adaptable as to what songs would be appropriate and when. He couldn't have done a more awesome job. Not only was every single one of our 20-something year old friends on the dance floor the whole night, but so was our 85 year old grandmother. It's now two months later and our families still rave about the music and the way Kris transformed the entire tent with just a few lights. Kris and Heidi also offer an amazing value. I couldn't name something they could do better. These 2 made our wedding day beyond perfect. I would recommend them to anyone.

My husband and I could not have had a better DJ and Photo Booth team than Kris and Heidi. His music choices were perfect! He was always there with immediate responses whenever I emailed him. We felt super comfortable from the moment we first met him and knew he was the right choice for us. Our guests loved him! Kris lit our venue so beautifully to match our decor. He even had some fun with our flower girl who was very interested in chasing the moving lights on the dance floor. Heidi was amazing running the photo booth. Our guests loved deciding which props to use and she was very patient with everyone and made the open air DJ booth a really fun experience. Everyone got in there at one point or another. I definitely recommend them for your wedding you really would not be disappointed!

Kris was very reasonable for our wedding reception and did a great job! He listened to what type of music I wanted and the way I wanted the wedding reception to flow.

Best DJ EVER! So many of our guests said how great of a DJ Kris was-they want to use him for their upcoming events now! He was so nice to work with and was always available to answer any questions I had. The music was awesome and he really got the crowd involved. Andrew was our photobooth attendant and could not have been sweeter! He made me laugh every time I was in there!

Let me start by saying thank you so much!! Kris, Heidi & Hasson you guys were amazing. You worked your magic and were able to keep the dance floor packed all night long!! Shaun and I had the best night of our lives and we really appreciate how awesome you guys were. You were a pleasure to work with and I will be recommending you to everyone I know. From the music to the photo booth & uplighting, you rocked it! Thanks again! - Julie & Shaun

My husband and I were thrilled with the entertainment for our wedding day and it is all thanks to Kris with By Design Entertainment, LLC. The music for my wedding was really important to me and Kris help me achieve what I was looking for. I wanted all guests up dancing and that is exactly what he accomplished. We had some guests, who we have never seen dance, get on the dance floor and let loose! This is all thanks to Kris' rhetoric with the crowd and the fun games he played throughout the night. Kris you were able to put together a set list of songs we picked and others that went perfectly with our style. Thank you for bringing the most wonderful entertainment from our softer ceremony music to letting loose at the reception!

My husband and I got married on March 4th 2017 we choose Kris to do our cermony and reception. We are so glad we choose him he all the guest out on the dance floor all night! And questions i ever had he was very quick about answering all of them. We also had the photo booth which all our guest loved! The uplighting he did made the room look awesome with the colors we had. Thank you so much for everything Kris everything was amazing!

My husband I got married on 12/30/16 and were so excited to have Kris as our DJ. From the first time we met with him, we knew were working with a seasoned professional. When it came time to choose all the specific music selections for the ceremony and reception, Kris followed every single request we made (and we had some specific ones!). When it came time for the dancing, he had literally everyone on the floor and was so great at reading the room. We had people telling us it was hands down one of the best wedding receptions they had been to. My husband and I had SO much fun dancing with our guests and it was a true celebration. I would highly recommend Kris and By Design Entertainment for any DJ services!

I'm so glad that we chose Kris from By Design Entertainment for our November 2016 wedding. He met with us in person for two planning meetings before the big day, each time he really listened to what I/we wanted in the look and feel for the big day. He made helpful suggestions and walked us through what to expect. (Which is a big thing because you don't get married and hire a DJ every year. I think this is something vendors often forget!) When I made him a spreadsheet of music, he welcomed it and made everything work seamlessly. I was getting compliments on our entertainment weeks after the wedding. His prices are very reasonable, he is exceptionally professional. If I ever need a DJ again, I would go to Kris, and I will suggest him to all of my engaged friends. Love love love

Kris has done our office Christmas party for a few years now and we consistently get feedback about how personable and professional he is. We don't hesitate to contact him for any event! Thanks By Design!

Kris and Heidi are a force to be reckoned with. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, and flexibility were recognized by myself and my husband on so many occasions. We were looking for a DJ who had some spunk and would get our guests out on the dancefloor and keep them out there. Kris was so damn good at this! We also purchased their photo booth services for our wedding and everything was perfect in that department as well. Heidi has the patience of a saint and was smiling all night long. They also provided stellar uplighting that transformed our room to our dream venue. I feel like I could go on and on, but all I have to tell you is to meet Kris once. You'll be sold! Thanks for making our wedding everything we wanted and so much more :) #HappilyEverKeller

I am so glad we chose By Design Entertainment for our wedding! Our ceremony was overlooking the back at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor and the venue did not offer speakers or a microphone. So we booked Kris to do the music for our ceremony as well as our reception. He was extremely responsive from the very first time I reached out to him regarding his availability. Leading up to the wedding he reached out to me regarding the ceremony and reception music requests we had. On the day of the wedding he did an awesome job fulfilling each of our song requests as well as organizing the bridal party for introductions and even stopping by to check in our my husband and I during dinner to see if we needed anything (from our opinions that was above and beyond what we would ever expect form our DJ!) Following dinner, the music Kris played kept all of our guests on the dance floor! After the last song played our guests were having so much fun dancing that no one was ready to leave yet. One of my bridesmaids have even already booked By Design Entertainment for her wedding next June. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend By Design Entertainment. Kris and his team do an amazing job!

Words cannot even begin to express how happy we are with the DJ and photo booth services that both Kris and Heidi provided us with at our wedding. All night we received nothing but compliments and heard excellent things about them from all of our guests. The dance floor was never empty and the photo booth always had someone in it. Kris (and Heidi) are a pleasure to work with, are extremely nice, are very accommodating to your needs/wishes, are very knowledgeable, and super fun! They also provided us with an uplighting service that made the room look amazing and it even changed colors throughout the night. Awesome right? I honestly can go on and on but for the sake of who ever reads this, I won't.....So I will leave you with this....have By Design Entertainment at your wedding (or party) and I can promise you that you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Kris and Heidi for making our special day a blast!!! We couldn't be happier with everything that you have done for us. You guys are the best!

We hired Kris as our DJ for our 9/24/16 outdoor wedding on a family members farm. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Kris is very easy to get along with. He was very accommodating in arriving early so he didn't disrupt our private wedding ceremony held earlier in the day. He also started playing early for the guests that were there in between and arrived early for cocktail hour. We truly appreciate him going above and beyond. He played great music and was an awesome emcee. He kept everyone dancing and the party going. We weren't the only ones that had great things to say about him... everyone did! Thanks Kris!!!

The DJ (Kris) was great to work with . He was flexible and creative with our chosen repertoire, which ranged from Oldies to Hawaiian. We had to move the music from an outside tent to inside the venue after night due to noise restrictions after dark, and he was very flexible with this, and made the inside party just as fun as outside. He was professional and organized. He also provided a photo booth, which was great for all of our guests!

If you hire Kris, you will have the wedding of your dreams! Our wedding venue, The Mansion, recommended By Design Entertainment for DJ Services. From the moment my now husband and I first met with Kris for our initial meeting, we felt very comfortable with him. We had already met with a couple other DJs before Kris, but Kris really came out on the top in terms of his excellent pricing and his wonderful personality. At our first meeting with Kris, we asked him if we could see him in action at an event. He allowed us to come a few days later to a wedding to see him do introductions, and we were sold. He has a great speaking voice and a wonderful energy that will make any wedding a great event. I can attribute much of my wedding's success to Kris and his amazing talent. Without a doubt, there is no one better out there, and his price cannot be beat.

Kris was absolutely amazing!!! He played a variety of music to satisfy guests of all ages, and got a lot of people up and dancing!!! Very personable and definitely knows how to work the crowd. He even approached my husband and I multiple times during the night to make sure we didn't need anything (drinks, food, etc.) would have never excepted that from a man there just to play music!! He is even willing to customize packages to fit your needs. Would recommend Kris for anyone looking for a Dj!!!

We used ByDesign Entertainment for our wedding last week and it was the best decision we made for our whole wedding. They knocked it out of the park and we could not be happier. Everyone is still commenting on how awesome the music, lighting, and photobooth all were. Kris and Heidi were both very professional, a ton of fun, and truly cared about making our day so special for us. Kris paid attention to every little detail of our timeline and everything was perfectly executed. We would not change one thing. Heidi took all of the pictures from the photobooth and created a personalized scrapbook of the photo strips and had our guests sign next to them for our memories. We highly recommend By Design. Thank you for everything Kris and Heidi

When planning our wedding, we knew that music was going to be a big part of it. My wife and I got married on October 31 and it was a 1980s prom themed wedding. So we knew that we needed to find someone who is not only professional, but someone who was going to have fun with the music. From the first phone call to the day of the wedding, Kris Szanto from ByDesign entertainment was not only professional, he was fun to work with. We sent Kris an email and within an hour we had received a phone call from him. He had answered all of our questions and then some. We met him on two occasions and both times he went out of his way to meet us. We also corresponded via email in the months leading up to the wedding. A few weeks before the wedding things were changed and Kris was very accommodating. His pricing was very fair and was even offering a special with lighting and a Photo Booth package. We received a ton of compliments from family and friends about how awesome the music was and how much fun the Photo Booth with all the different props were. Kris and Heidi were awesome all night and there were people on the dance floor and in the photo booth at all times. You will not be disappointed with by design entertainment. We have recommended him to several different people already!

Kris of ByDesign was a blast to work with! He Dj'd our wedding and it was super fun. He was easy and accommodating to work with. He considered the situation we were in and was kind enough to help us out in a number of ways, including taking the job on short notice. I don't have much experience planning events but what I got out of it was that as far as choosing a DJ, it's best to pick one that has a fun party persona as it transfers during the event. You would do well to choose Kris! Highly recommended!

My husband and I used Kris for our wedding 5/2/2015 and it was just PERFECT. From the lighting, playing the perfect music all night, to the organization I had not a worry in the world all night long. Kris has a wonderful personality that kept our guests as well as us so happy all night long. As a bride you worry about everything being perfect, especially worrying if your guests are enjoying themselves. If you hire Kris for his services I promise you, you won't have anything to be worried about. He kept our dance floor full all night long and just made sure we were all having fun. You can really tell he loves what he does too, because that really shines through when he is DJ'ing, he just looks like he's having a blast which really puts others at ease. I HIGHLY recommend using him for your upcoming event/wedding. I'm so happy we did and I couldn't thank you enough Kris!

I would definitely recommend By Design Entertainment if you need a DJ. We got so many complements on the music and how it fit so seamlessly into our wedding reception. Kris does a great job of using the music to enhance your event, not overshadow it, so everyone just has a great time.

By Design Entertainment provided my wife and I our DJ and photo booth services and we couldn't have asked for a better service. Cris kept in constant communication with my wife and I along with meeting to ensure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted. They were very professional along with be very personable with us. They created a very fun, exciting atmosphere that I can't even put into words. I am going to tell everyone to use their service for any upcoming event! They made our wedding special for us

I booked By Design Entertainment for my July 2015 wedding in Egg Harbor City after searching for a DJ/photobooth package for 2 months. All the others were asking exorbitant prices (over 2,500!) or they didn't get back to me at all. Kris answered my e-mail right away, provided me with a lot of information and had by far the best prices I had seen (and still haven't seen anything better). I booked him on the spot and never regretted it. He had me fill out a long questionnaire about the wedding, which gave me the chance to share all my ideas. He was always quick to reply to me. On the wedding day he was just fantastic! He set everything up without me even noticing and communicated with the reverend, photographer and videographer so they could all work together as best they could. His setlist was exactly what I asked for (lots of 80s and 90s, pop and dance songs) and he played a few group dance songs like the Cupid Shuffle that my guests loved. He MC'd the whole night too and was very funny. A few people asked me for his contact info, so I guess they were impressed too! The photobooth was amazing as well, we got so many compliments. The quality was top-notch and they even made a scrapbook with the extra pictures that the guests could sign. Kris is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone!!

We are so lucky and fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with By Design Entertainment. Kris is so good at what he does and you can tell he truly enjoys his work. He made every effort to make sure our wedding was fun and enjoyable for our guests. He really took the time to get to know us so that the party was a true reflection of me and my now husband! The photo booth was also a BIG hit! It was so affordable and had THE best quality photos any of our guests had ever seen. Everything was phenomenal and we cannot thank him enough for doing such an amazing job on such an important day in our lives. Do yourself the favor and BOOK him!!!!!

Our wedding last night was 100% everything we hoped it would be and then some, and By Design Entertainment played a huge role in that. From start to finish, Kris was willing to add in personal songs/dances that we wanted, organize the wedding party, and keep the night flowing smoothly. When we made last minute changes (during the reception) for the order of events, he had no issues at all doing so. He played our must-haves at just the right times, mixed in with current songs and popular oldies/classics. Our dance floor was never empty. Photo booth was a must have, especially with an attendant to put together our picture strip book and give us our bride/groom props. The lighting was great - helped create the atmosphere we wanted for the space. We got a LOT of compliments on all of the services By Design Entertainment provided. Thank you!

The Best... I’ve been to countless weddings over the years and when it was time to put together my wedding we knew that the DJ was not only important, in a lot of ways the DJ is the center of the entertainment, controls the energy and the mood in the room. We started our search by reading all of the reviews online through multiple websites and then starting pricing it out. Design Entertainment by Kris Szanto came out on top. Of course the review doesn’t just end there… Kris was extremely accommodating and was easy to work with, which as many of you know, if you do not already, wedding planning is extremely stressful so working with Kris was a breathe of fresh air. We got married June 27, 2015 at Eagle Ridge Gold Club in Lakewood, NJ. During the wedding everything went off so smoothly we could not have been happier with Kris and his crew. He immediately set the mood and for a group that I thought would never get out on the dance floor he the floor full within the first 10 mins… Talk about a guy who knows what he is doing, Kris is not a one trick pony… Not only were we happy with Kris we received so many compliments from our guests. There are plenty of options out there but if you want the best I recommend Kris and his crew with Design Entertainment without question… If you have any additional questions or concerns about Design Entertainment I would happy to answer them… John Nesgoda (John.Nesgoda@gmail.com)

There are no other words to describe By Design Entertainment other than sheer awesomeness! Kris played everything I had requested and made our wedding night spectacular. Everyone danced so much we all were so sore for a few days afterwards! I almost want to have another party just so Kris can DJ it! Our wedding was in our backyard and although it's not the typical place for a wedding- Kris pulled it off flawlessly. If you want an awesome, super memorable wedding/party/ etc.... This is the way to go!!
