C&J Entertainment DJs, Bands & Strings

Chris was absolutely amazing as our DJ for our August 2024 wedding at the Governor Calvert House! During planning, he worked with us to make sure our music lists had something for everyone and that they flowed well throughout the day. He was always quick with communication and we felt like he truly cared about us! Chris’s knowledge of our venue was one of the major selling points for us and he did not disappoint. He had a great rapport with the Governor Calvert staff which made everything go smoothly. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a great DJ that keeps the dance floor crowded all night!

We are so grateful to DJ Chris for his extremely professional and upbeat service. He was the DJ for our wedding at the Governor Calvert House in June of 2024. He worked with us to edit our first dance song, as well as work through our list of must plays. We fully trusted him to include songs we wanted while also keeping the party going and managing the whole event. He was fantastic! We would strongly recommend him to anyone getting married/hosting an event.

We are so grateful to DJ Chris from C&J Entertainment Agency for making our wedding day truly unforgettable! Everyone is still raving about the fantastic playlist! Chris expertly set the mood during the ceremony, creating a romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the moment. Then, when it was time to celebrate, he turned it up for the reception, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Not only did Chris deliver on the music, but he also helped us with the timeline and acted as our MC, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. His ability to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged was impressive! If you want a DJ who can create the perfect atmosphere for every part of your day and knows how to keep the party going, we highly recommend DJ Chris! He is very easy to work with, professional and fun! He made our wedding an incredible experience that we and our guests will cherish forever.

Chris was absolutely incredible as the DJ for our July wedding! From start to finish, the music was flawless, and he brought so much energy to our big day. We had several pre-wedding calls to lock in the songs for the ceremony and all the important moments of the night, and Chris was so helpful in guiding us through the process. His advice was spot-on, and it was such a pleasure working with him. He kept the party going, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Thank you, Chris!

Chris was absolutely the best DJ I’ve ever seen at a wedding, I wish I could hire him to DJ my daily life. He was extremely professional and met with us several times ahead of the wedding. He not only helped us plan our songs, but he helped us structure and plan our whole reception. He played all the songs we loved and even though our wedding was very small, he kept the party going! I can’t recommend Chris enough!

Chris helped us curate a perfect playlist for our wedding. Every moment felt perfectly highlighted by his choices. He did a great job of listening to our preferences and making choices that complemented our must plays.

We worked with Chris Temple as the DJ for our wedding and had such a great experience! Chris took a lot of time ahead of the wedding to understand what kind of timeline we wanted for the ceremony and reception, what equipment we needed for the ceremony and reception, and what kind of vibe we wanted for the dance floor. On the wedding day itself, Chris was a pleasure to work with and made sure everything went so smoothly. Our friends and family had a blast on the dance floor. We would definitely work with C&J entertainment again and highly recommend DJ Chris!

We are so glad to have used Chris from C&J Entertainment as the DJ for our wedding. From the first phone call, Chris demonstrated how knowledgeable and caring he and the rest of the company are. He took the time to get to know our musical preferences, which really showed during our conversations and on the big day. The night of our first phone call, he had already expertly cut three different versions of the song we had chosen as our first dance song, one of which was the one he played for us 13 months later. While I know we could have left all the other musical choices in his hands, he was also very receptive when I wanted to compile my own playlists for different portions of the day. He provided guidance on the number of songs to play, when we should play slower songs, what kind of song we should use to start, say, the dance portion of the reception, etc. It was priceless to hear the songs we had carefully chosen play on our day. It was hugely cool of Chris to be that collaborative with us. Throughout our phone calls and emails, Chris was always a great listener. He worked across me and our wedding coordinator very well. I never had to worry about him or the high quality of the services he provided. On the wedding day, he was just as friendly as ever and interacted with guests in the most awesome of ways. I highly recommend C&J Entertainment, especially Chris. You’ll be happy you did!

I could not recommend C&J entertainment enough. Two months after the wedding and the guests still talk about how great the music was any time the wedding comes up! Chris and team are very thorough in nailing down the wedding day timeline, everyone’s names, and the songs to go with each specific event. For some events, the groom and I couldn’t come up with any song ideas, but Chris made recommendations that fit great with the rest of the music we picked for the wedding. We specifically requested DJ Karl based on the amazing reviews he received online and he did not disappoint! He played all of our must-plays and filled in the remaining gaps perfectly, reading the vibe of the guests and matching their energy.

Chris was an amazing DJ! He was so helpful during the planning process and really helped us navigate every detail with ease when putting our timeline together. His expertise in the industry shows and you will not be disappointed if you book him! Our guests loved him and he kept the party going the whole night and no one wanted to leave the dance floor! Highly recommend him and his team if you are looking for a fun and memorable experience!

He was an absolute superstar from start to finish. I'll admit, I was pretty anxious about finding the right DJ, knowing how much they can impact the atmosphere of a wedding. But Chris not only met but exceeded all our expectations, making our special day truly unforgettable. During our outdoor ceremony, with a road right behind us, Chris worked his magic to ensure that every guest could hear us clearly. His attention to detail and proactive approach during the planning process was incredibly reassuring, especially for a meticulous bride like myself. If you're someone who sweats the small stuff, trust me, Chris is your guy! When it came to the reception, Chris was nothing short of spectacular. He effortlessly played the exact songs we wanted, and to top it off, he kept checking in with us throughout the night to see if there was anything else he could do. It was no surprise that two couples approached us during the night, eager to get his contact details for their own weddings next year. With his wealth of experience evident in his seamless professionalism, it's clear that Chris has handled countless weddings before ours. His expertise and finesse left us utterly impressed, and we can confidently say that every penny spent on his services was absolutely worth it. Thank you, Chris, for making our wedding day an incredible, music-filled celebration. Your talent and professionalism truly set the tone for an unforgettable evening. We cannot recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day perfect.

DJ Chris was the absolute best!! He helped us prep for the wedding so much and was a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding, he did all the things we asked for. During the dancing portion of the evening, he used our prepared playlist but also added in some other songs - absolute fire! We had so many guests compliment the playlist and ask us about it. We could not recommend him more highly!

We had our wedding last month (September 2023). Chris was amazing. He was very detailed and extremely helpful every step of the way. We told Chris the type of atmosphere we wanted and he asked great questions about each part of our day (ceremony/cocktail/dinner/reception). We did tell him to “feel the room” (there were 19-70 year olds). He played a variety of music at the perfect time and everyone continues to say it was an amazing wedding. We 100% recommend C & J for any of your events. Thank you Chris, Daniel & Lora

To sum it up, DJ Chris played an instrumental role in making our wedding an unforgettable event. His organizational prowess, combined with his ability to keep the dance floor rocking all night long, solidified him as an invaluable part of our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone in search of a DJ who goes above and beyond to ensure a seamless and unforgettable celebration.

HIGHLY recommend C&J Entertainment! We hired Chris, the owner, as our DJ for our wedding. We met him at my friends wedding a couple years ago and LOVED him! We knew right away we wanted to use him for our wedding one day. Super easy to get ahold of, open communication, just overall great to work with! He is super talented. He keeps the party going for sure! Super helpful with planning the evening as well as far as first dances, speeches, cake cutting, etc!

DJ Chris was absolutely amazing. He knew things we wanted before we even knew we wanted them. He was so fun to chat with and made wedding planning really fun and light when it came to choosing music. Throughout the wedding planning, he helped us ( A LOT) with our timeline and would ask what we wanted and would give suggestions when he thought something different might work a little better. Every suggestion he made was PERFECT and made the evening go and flow that much better. You can really tell he has been doing it for years and knows what he is doing. Our dance floor stayed busy the entire night and we owe it all to him! He listened to what we wanted and just blew us away with what he gave us. The night was SO much fun. We honestly had no hiccups and he was so communicative during it all which put me at ease. We interviewed over 4 DJs and when we talked to him we knew he was the right fit for us.

DJ Chris brings the energy and the vibes! We loved working with Chris. He was very accommodative to the type of music we wanted to play and he made good suggestions when we weren't sure. He was generous with his time leading up to our big day, and of course he was prepared on the day of! Everything went according to plan. Most importantly Chris is a generous and fun person to be around. We would highly recommend him as a wedding DJ.

Chris was great to work with. Would highly recommend.

Karl and Chris were amazing! They set up a meeting to run through everything before and make your reception the smoothest experience ever! Huge dance floor full of people the entire night and matched our style and vision.

C&J Entertainment was perfect for our wedding! We worked with Chris to customize the music and timeline for the day. He was very knowledgeable and fun to work with. All of his suggestions to make the day run smoothly worked out great! We worked with DJ Karl on the wedding day and he was amazing! He was personable and great at reading the room and adapting to changes. Everything ran seamlessly and he did a great job at mixing and adding to our list of song to keep us and our guests entertained all night. We highly recommend!

First of all Chris is a great DJ that brought it for the wedding. He brought his expertise and ability to help plan our day as well. We got a wedding coordinator and a DJ in one. Chris was willing to meet with us multiple times before the wedding and help build the perfect playlist. We will continue to recommend him to all of our friends and anyone interested in a great time.

Chris was the perfect DJ for our wedding! Not only was the music perfect, but he helped put together a timeline for the night that made everything run so smoothly. He made us and our wedding feel so special and unique, and was truly so kind and helpful. Chris wants to make your wedding the best night, and he sticks to his word! Can’t wait to party with him again soon!

Chris was amazing, we were dancing the entire night and had the best day, he absolutely killed it. He was very involved and helped to plan out lots of the details ahead of time. He has a great perspective and lots of experience. Would absolutely recommend!

Chris was great to work with and did a great job collaborating with us and listening to what was important to us about our music selection! He was super fun at the reception and kept the party going!

Chris from C&J Entertainment was great from start to finish. He was patient with us and helped us create a timeline for how WE wanted the day to go. He had suggestions but ultimately he let my wife and I make the final decisions. On the day of the wedding he made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. He kept the party going and was instrumental on the flow of the evening. Very fun to work with. Great DJ but also a great MC which is equally if not more important. I highly recommended Chris!!

Chris did an amazing job at our wedding this past weekend! If you are looking for someone who can keep your entire guest list of all age groups, dancing on the dance floor for 6+ hours straight, then look no further! Chris at C&J Entertainment did an incredible job. Not only did he do an excellent job hosting and mixing, he helped the other vendors out where needed and kept the whole program running smoothly (mega thankful Chris!). He was super kind, consulted us when he needed too, and made the whole planning process so smooth from start to finish. There is a lot to learn when you are a young couple planning your big day together, and the schedule for the wedding day is a BIG one, he helped us get this all together and align the music we wanted for special moments throughout the day. We were super stoked when Chris provided an encore of the best 90s and 00s punk rock EVER and kept the dancing going deep into the evening! We had folks dancing and lip singing who NEVER do that. It was truly a perfect evening with Chris on DJ. Highly recommend.

Hired C&J Entertainment for a recent wedding for my daughter. Our DJ Karl was fantastic. He did an awesome job in organizing the introduction of wedding party, handoff’s on speeches, etc. sound system was great too. Highly recommend hiring C& J Entertainment.

We had Chris Temple DJ for our wedding this past October 2022 and couldn't be happier with our experience! Chris is incredibly easy to work with and his communication with us was phenomenal. He listened to what we asked for, provided informative input, and was flawless with editing our first dance song. He went above and beyond as an MC and always kept in touch with us throughout our day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Thank you Chris!

Chris Temple at C & J Entertainment went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. The experience was exceptional. He played every song/genre we wanted and it couldn’t of gone smoother. He also did an amazing job recommending all of the right songs for walk out music and introductions for the wedding party. If your looking for for a DJ that you can rely on, give Chris Temple a call.

After our original DJ fell through the week of our wedding, we contacted Chris at C&J Entertainment, and he stepped up immediately to save our day and ease our stress. In 3 days, he was able to take our list of preferred songs and artists and crafted amazing playlists for cocktail hour and the reception. Numerous people came up to us at the wedding and are still mentioning how amazing our DJ was and how much fun they had dancing. Our guests never left the dance floor. Chris is so reliable, a great person, even better DJ, and we cannot recommend him enough!

Chris was very fun to work with! He made sure we had great music selections for our cocktail hour, reception, couple/ parent dances and entrances. He met with us multiple times and was very communicative, ensuring our playlists were exactly how we wanted them. We received many compliments on the music from our guests throughout the night and our dance floor was always jumpin!! Highly recommend Chris and C&J Entertainment

As a couple who loves to dance Chris was the perfect DJ for us. The music for the ceremony was beautiful and all of our guest had a great time on the dance floor. If you really want to have a good time with good music go with C&J Entertainment.

Chris crushed it at our wedding! He kept the dance floor going all night and we received so many compliments on his service!

DJ Karl was absolutely amazing! He kept our guests dancing all night. Guests still tell us how amazing our DJ was. He kept the night and all of the events on schedule, and worked hand-in-hand with our other vendors to make sure we kept on track.

These guys absolutely killed it. I worked with Chris Temple leading up to wedding day and he was amazing. Super responsive and personable. He helped us make our timeline and ensure we had the perfect music clip for each moment of the wedding. we love our music, so we also loved that they let us pick out what music we wanted for most of the night. Chris also made perfect edits for our ceremony and first dance songs. Karl was our DJ on the actual day of and he was also INCREDIBLE!!! He played every song we asked him too, but also was able to keep the flow of music perfectly- filling in with songs that he knew we would like based on our music choices thus far. The dance floor was actually insane, the whole venue was packed in and dancing- not just the dance floor. SO FUN! He also was so good about keeping the entire wedding on track and acting as the MC. He was absolutely essential!!! I was so happy to have him there to help!

C&J Entertainment we’re phenomenal! Planning a COVID was certainly not easy but he was easy to work with and was able to bring our musical dreams to life. Even the Bohemian Rhapsody dance party at the end of the night. Guests still talk about the great music that was played and how much they couldn’t believe the bride (me) never left the dance floor. Do yourself a favor and book them!!

Chris Temple was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! He was so organized and professional, he made our day run exactly as planned and nailed the playlist. I can't speak highly enough of his commitment to excellence throughout the whole process. Oh and he's also hilarious, my Husband and I loved working with him from Day 1. You will not regret hiring Chris... if I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!

We recently had Chris DJ our wedding and he was absolutely outstanding. I had been to a wedding a few months prior where Chris was the DJ and immediately I knew we wanted him for our wedding. Plain and simple, he knows music. He knows what is going to get people dancing and keep them on the dance floor. He was very easy to work with and spent a lot of time with us prior to the event ensuring that our day would be perfect. He really helped us outline the sequence of events for the wedding. He is basically a DJ/wedding planner all in one. He proposed many different options for portions of the event and helped talk us through what would be best for our day. I highly recommend Chris, you will not be disappointed.

Chris and DJ Karl were the absolute BEST to work with for our wedding, they made everything so easy and kept everyone on the dace floor all night! Chris was super personable and really great at walking us through the schedule of events for the day. He had great insights, gave advice when we needed it, and guided us through figuring out the best agenda that would work for what we were looking for. DJ Karl absolutely killed it on the day of the wedding! Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and everyone was raving about how awesome our DJ was. I seriously can't give enough praise for how great DJ Karl did at reading the room, keeping us on schedule, and getting everyone out on the dance floor and dancing all night. He also called us in the weeks before the wedding to go through the plan for the evening, review name pronunciations, talk about our must play/do not play list, and made sure we were aligned on all the details. We seriously couldn't have asked for better people, company, or vendor to work with. Highly recommend you go with Chris and his team for your next event, and especially DJ Karl who was AMAZING!!!

Chris at C&J Entertainment was so wonderful to work with! We had a few zoom sessions which were thorough, and I felt so confident we were on the same page and that my thoughts on music were completely listened to and respected. Chris is the best! Mario was our DJ on the day-of at my wedding and he was totally awesome too. All of our guests were gushing about the music, and the positive vibes were absolutely off the charts! During the FIRST dance-party song, the entire group of 95 wedding guests were on the dance floor - that's the energy we brought into the evening! The best. The music was such an integral part of the fabulous ceremony and reception.

If you need a DJ for your wedding, Chris is your guy!! He did the BEST job at our wedding, I am not even kidding our guests danced from the minute the mother/son, father/daughter dances ended to when the lights turned on at the end of the night. Chris not only did an amazing job with music selection to keep everyone dancing, but he is so detail oriented that every possible transition or opening in the reception was well thought out. Everything flowed perfectly, from the timing of the music during the ceremony, to the walk-out songs, and all of the introductions of different guests/speakers/or dances. There was never an awkward moment or lull in the night. And if someone did something silly/weird (like my dad not walking over to hug me after his speech because he didn't realize why I was standing there looking at him) Chris would just crack a joke and everyone would laugh it off. But most importantly he kept us on schedule throughout the night, so we were able to just enjoy each moment to it's fullest, and when it was time for cake Chris made sure we were in the right place at the right time. We love C&J Entertainment/Chris!!!

Karl was absolutely amazing. 10/10 cannot recommend him enough. We had high expectations for our wedding reception and throwing the party of our lives and Karl delivered! C&J entertainment was great to work with from start to finish and made the process easy and smooth.

Chris from C&J entertainment was amazing and so easy to work with! He had all the guests on the dance floor the entire night. He read the crowd so well. It was quite the dance party!! We strongly recommend hiring him as your DJ!

Chris and his team are great. He helped us combine our diverse backgrounds and taste in music to build an amazing playlist. He also was very informative about the many ways you can structure the reception based on different traditions and activities. DJ Karl helped us execute the dream and he read the room on every beat. All of our quests were on the dance floor all night! We highly recommend!

We hired Chris for our wedding last month and he did a fantastic job! We never had an empty dance floor throughout the night! He was a joy to work with through the entire process. He is very professional and responsive. He provided expert advice on how to pick out the perfect songs for our ceremony and key moments during our reception. We received loads of compliments from our wedding guests about him and we're so thrilled with how the entire night went. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Chris the owner and our DJ made our wedding more magical then we could have ever imagined! The music from the ceremony to the end of the reception was amazing. He was so much fun to work with, and helped guide us in the music selection process. Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun our wedding was. Everyone, including us were on the dance floor most of the night. Thank you Chris, for making our dreams come true!

I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am that C&J Entertainment was able to DJ our reception. I started speaking with Chris in August of 2019 when I got engaged and he was so invested in helping me bring my reception dreams to life. He was always quick to respond, helped me with reception timeline suggestions, would send music samples, and was always quick to make me laugh during stressful wedding planning phone calls! Then, my wedding was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID, but Chris promised he’d still DJ when we planned a new wedding date. Finally, April 10th, 2021, we had our wedding and Chris helped me pull reception details together in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Everyone complimented me on our DJ and said how he did such an amazing job keeping the party going all night. Everyone danced the entire time and all I kept telling Chris was that I wanted a giant dance party. He kept the music and party going, kept everything running smoothly between the music for happy hour, dinner, father daughter and mother daughter dances, speeches, and overall just keeping the awesome and fun atmosphere going all night! Thank you for your patience and entertainment Chris, you always kept me laughing on phone calls when I was stressed out of my mind while planning our wedding! I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. For all the brides reading this, pick C&J Entertainment! Best DJ out there. Thank you a million times over!!!!!!

DJ Chris was recommended to us by several family and friends. Planning a wedding during COVID was not easy and Chris was extremely attentive and flexible to our many changes. He is also hilarious! Our reception was seamless, Chris effortlessly guided the party through the timeline and if the bridal party was late or missed something at any point no guest would have known. He played most of our “must play” list but more importantly he knew exactly which songs to play and when to keep the dance floor full. After the wedding we received endless compliments from guests about the music and quality of DJ. Chris also provided us with uplights for the reception space which were beautiful. Highly recommend!

I worked with Chris and he was absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience. He played exactly the music we wanted and kept our whole reception flowing smoothly. He took away any stress and had everything taken care of. He is just the best and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone getting married. If you are looking for a DJ, this is your guy!!!

We would strongly recommend Chris Temple and C&J Entertainment to anyone planning a wedding. We used C&J , and specifically Chris Temple, for both of our daughters weddings. Chris is not only a great person to work with, but he is also just a lot of fun. We had many wedding guests of different ages at both weddings tell us what great music we had and how it was the best wedding they’ve been to....largely due to Chris. He went way beyond what was expected to help make both our daughter’s weddings wonderful....especially our most recent wedding, in October which sadly had to be downsized due to Covid. He was very accommodating with the changes made. We can’t say enough positive comments about Chris and C&J Entertainment! If you’re looking for a great DJ and fun wedding ...get them!!

Chris was amazing, he kept in touch through out the time that we booked him through the wedding , he’s entertaining and very easy to work with.

Wow, Karl did such a great job! He was so flexible and went with flow. Both my husband and I forgot to communicate to him a couple changes made the day before but he caught on and adjusted accordingly for our wedding day. The music selection was exactly what we wanted. He even double checked with me regarding what songs he might not be able to get to which was highly appreciated. Karl communicated to our guests in the most perfect way. There was never a dull moment. We were very happy and impressed with Karl's work. Thank you for an amazing day! We worked with Chris prior to the wedding day and his wealth of experience helped us set realistic expectations and plan our wedding "properly."

Chris was professional, precise, and easily accessible throughout the process. We couldnt be happier with the job Chris did at our wedding. He was fun, flexible and kept the flow going with the perfect mix of songs and even mixed a few personal requests.

We had hired C&J Entertainment before the pandemic, but were to be married in June of 2020. Chris was absolutely wonderful the entire time we worked with him, and he was so flexible and understanding when we had to adjust our plans. He was so helpful throughout the planning, and we couldn’t have asked for more! I highly recommend working with Chris for any DJ needs you have! He is professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I am so happy we chose C&J Entertainment for our wedding!

C&J Entertainment is the best and we are SO happy we chose to book them for our wedding day! From our very first meeting with Chris, we knew we were in great hands! He is super knowledgeable about the industry and he really made the process easy as far as how to go about making song selections and important points to consider. Karl was our DJ for the wedding and let us tell you.. he absolutely knocked it out of the park! The dance floor was packed from the very first song up until the last and guests of all ages were having an awesome time! He was really able to read the crowd and kept the party going! Both Chris and Karl are super professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. We highly recommend C&J Entertainment and if you choose to book them, you will not regret it! :)
