Carter Events and Entertainment

o be, Steven was thoughtful but gave us even better ideas. He's a professional and has been in the business over 20 years so obviously he has a lot of experience. We were very happy with him on our wedding day. As the bride, I wanted to dance the night away, and if my guests were taking a break, there was Steven. He and I danced, he twirled me around, taught me the Wobble, he was so so much fun. Steven is a true professional aiming to meet your needs, is flexible and very easy to work with. I would hire him over and over again. Don't pass this DJ by because your wedding will be so much better with him mixing the tunes!

got so many compliments from our guests on him.  I really appreciated the time he took to meet with us before the wedding, and talk through the whole evening. It made the day of much smoother. He did a great job guiding the reception and kept things going smooth. He struck a great balance of bringing a fun presence to the wedding.  If we were planning the wedding all over I would definitely hire him again. 

blew me away. They were so accommodating for everything I asked for. Steven was so much fun to plan with and my DJ was Adam; he was amazing! He kept us informed & was worried about the mic feedback during the ceremony & did his best so that we would have a flawless vow exchange (and it was). He even came out on the dance floor & joined us in dancing. I had multiple special requests and they had no problem with any of it. My father in law played my walk down the aisle song on piano and they accommodated it. I made a remix for my father daughter dance and they played it without an issue. I did a bouquet dedication for my mother and he made sure it was done & was so special. He tried his best to keep us on schedule too! I 100% recommend booking your DJ through Carter Events. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

nce floor and vibing from the sidelines, and have had nothing but great things to say about the reception. If you're looking for a DJ that will match your energy, knows exactly the right time to slip in some subtle humor, and can rock a kilt - look no further!

great time on the dance floor & I would not have changed a thing. He knows what he is doing!! So worth booking him!

ure everything was set up how it needed to be, the communication with caterers and making sure everything got to the right people, to picking up our cakes and delivering my bouquet to my florist for preservation! She took sooo much stress off our shoulders! We had Adam as our DJ, and he was HYPE! He absolutely understood the assignment and kept the party going all night! We also got dance lessons from Steven, which was the BEST idea! He was so knowledgeable and was a blast to learn from! We had the best first dance imaginable and got endless compliments 💕 We are so extremely happy we went with them, and we would recommend them to anyone getting married!

y both had such attention to detail in our planning process, and that's another thing that makes them amazing, the planning process. We didn't just meet with them once to discuss the day. We met 3-4 different times before the big day to discuss timeline, music, and vision. They helped so much get everything into focus. On the day of, Angie helped with last minute decorations, desserts, appetizers, and so much more that I as the bride probably didn't see. Our head table was lacking decor and she helped spruce it up and it looked amazing. DJ Steven used all the song suggestions I gave to make a phenomenal night of dancing that included 80s, 90s, a large Spanish mix, and everything in between. Everyone danced all night- it was the most I have ever seen on a dance floor until the very end. Also, the uplight was beautiful! We used a purple color and it looked awesome in our space! I recommend you book them if you want to have a flawless day!

so much that we got his business card. Fast forward 3 years, he DJ'd our wedding a couple weeks ago and was AMAZING! Not only did he keep our dance floor PACKED, but he made sure everything went smoothly and was a fantastic MC. We got so many compliments from our guests during and afterwards, we couldn't recommend Steven and Carter Events and Entertainment enough!!

even was very friendly and provided clear communication and helpful knowledge throughout the planning process. He was able to provide audio equipment, including mics, as a part of our package. At the reception, Steven was lively and professional, and— maybe most importantly— he kept our guests on the dance floor! I would recommend to someone who values organized event-planning and wants their guests to have a fun time!

nce was spectacular. Erica's work as our photographer was also wonderful. Very easy to work with, made us feel very comfortable. Photos turned out fantastic! Highly recommended!

did absolutely amazing and kept us up and dancing the whole night, and also provided up an amazing photo album of our guests! Very easy to work with and are super helpful if you have any questions! I highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding!

s the life of the party in the best way. If you’re even thinking about booking just do it you won’t regret it!

, our DJ and main point-of-contact, Steven, was very organized and thorough. He kept communication clear and made the planning process easy to navigate. We also appreciated that the pricing was fair with no hidden fees or surprises. We liked how the total payment was broken down into smaller chunks making it easier to stay on top of finances during the planning process. That said, we did run into a few challenges. Our wedding vision was a bit more laid-back than Carter Events & Entertainment may be used to—we weren’t looking for a super high-energy DJ who gets out on the dance floor with guests, a large metal T-Bar set-up, or a lot of dance floor lighting—but it often felt like Steven was trying to steer us in a different direction. It came across at times as if he was trying to change our minds rather than support our preferences for our wedding day vision, which created some unnecessary tension during the planning process. The biggest issue came at the end of the night. As the bride, I made a last-minute song request (a long song...just under 6-minutes in length), and unfortunately, Steven seemed visibly frustrated by the change of plans after stating how he was ready to play his final planned song(s) and then clear the guests out for our private last dance. I kindly told him we could forget about the private last dance if needed so we wouldn't go over his scheduled time. He did not seem happy about this change of plans. He begrudgingly switched gears and played the requested song with no transition from the last, and then the music ended rather abruptly at the end of the night with no final announcement or proper sendoff, which was disappointing and left things feeling a bit unfinished and awkward. It was clear the deviation from his original plan was not well-received, which put a damper on the close of the celebration. Many guests could feel the tension as Steven was packing his things up with his wife while people were still standing on the dance floor confused as to whether or not the event was over. Several guests and vendors asked me and my husband what had just happened with the DJ because the tension was clear. All things considered, Steven arrived on time in polished attire, was professional up until the end of the evening, and played all of our "must play" songs, which we truly appreciated. There were no sound issues, and our spotlight dances and speeches were carried out smoothly. The dance floor was full all night long, and we had so much fun dancing with our guests. Steven kept the energy level low-key as we had initially requested and ultimately respected our wishes for minimal dance floor lighting after a bit of back-and-forth discussion about both of those things during the planning process. I just wish the night had ended on a smoother, more celebratory note with less tension.

Steve N kept the vibe going and read the crowd to keep the dance floor full all night! Would definitely recommend and hire again!

ther in law and led the group in the macarena & electic slide. I would 1000% recommend Stephen as a vendor to anyone researching DJs.

was very important to us and with Steven at our wedding we had nothing to worry about. He was incredible from the planning stage, to dinner, all the way through the dance. He brings an amazing personality and a ton of fun energy. All of our friends and family loved the music and the DJ. We highly recommend his services to anyone. 5/5

sponsive and willing to answer my questions as well as give honest advice/feedback from his perspective as the expert. The energy that Steven brought on the day of my wedding was unmatched and contagious. Our wedding party had so much fun getting ready for the grand march with him. Throughout the reception, Steven would join our guests out on the dancefloor and kept the energy so fun. I don't know how he does it, but his energy did not seem to die at all the entire night. My parents even made a comment to me after my wedding day about how fun it was to watch Steven do his thing - he is an entertainer for sure. I will remember for a long time how much fun I had on the dancefloor thanks to Steven. I truly have nothing negative to say about our experience working with Carter Events & Entertainment. If I were to plan a wedding again, I would choose Carter Events & Entertainment as my DJ every time. We will be recommending them every chance we get. If you choose Carter Events & Entertainment as your DJ, you will not be disappointed!

sistently helpful throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, his professionalism, organization, and positive attitude were truly refreshing. Steven was not only an amazing DJ who kept our dance floor packed all night, but he also made sure our wedding day ran smoothly and was truly about us as a couple. I couldn't be happier with my choice in DJ - 10/10 would book Steven again if I had the choice!

is MC job, and every dance step. Steven has the ability to make every single person dance and have a great time. Our guests LOVED the photo booth, and we will treasure the photo book and digital copies forever. Our wedding would not have been complete without these amazing people DJ-ing and MC-ing our wedding! THANK YOU, CEE!

r us. They went above and beyond !

eve was also amazing, his music choices were great based on the suggestions of music we liked and he kept the vibes high during the whole reception. Angie and Steve were great at keeping our ceremony and reception on track and I would definitely recommend them to our friends and family.

se times, reasonably priced, especially compared to a lot of other similar vendors in Milwaukee. Went with all the unique details of our day and were quick to answer an questions or address changing needs. On the day of I didn't even notice them setting up - everything just appeared so no issues with promptness or professionalism there. Knew how to get people onto the dance floor when numbers were low and how to have fun with the crowd. Worked with all the song requests we had set up. 100% satisfied

with out some of the ideas and opinions they shared with me due to me having a c-section baby 2 weeks prior to our wedding. You don't meet many people now a days that'll take the time and give you honest and helpful advice. I will definitely be booking them for other events in the future. Thank you for your fun and energetic personalities and it'll be something I never forget.

provided. Even the guests who were not dancers were entertained all night!

to anyone and everyone! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ and host.

use of them! I was so unorganized and somehow they just took what I gave them and knew what to do! They are fun, professional, and easy to work with. They really listened to what we wanted and made it happen!

h him and he gave us a form to fill out about what exactly we were looking for in a DJ, level of involvement, music genres, do not plays and so much more! He laid it out and made it super easy for us to communicate what we wanted. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him and the timeline he helped create for us. Once we were on the dance floor he played exactly what we were anticipating and just looked like he was having fun, which you can’t say about every DJ! We initially opted for no lights, but a couple weeks before wanted lighting added. So simple to do and so glad we did add it! 10/10 recommend for your wedding or event!!!!

onstant communication to make sure everything was going just as we wanted, making sure he played all the songs we wanted, and even stayed until the very end of the night so he could congratulate us one more time before leaving. We were blown away, and will be recommending them to all our friends getting married.

ing moving on time, and absolutely killed it with the music! We had dozens of people compliment the song choices and Steve kept the dance floor packed all night long. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

Starting with choreography of our first dance. Steven put so much heart and effort to teach us. Everyone said at the wedding that we should be next for audition for Dancing with the stars show. The planning for the wedding was so great. You captured every single detail on the books. Katti was so involved into the day of coordinating and did an amazing job! Our DJ Adam was great! He played everything we asked for and kept the audience so entertained! Steven Carter's Events are so professional, fun and so pleasant to work with. I already miss them so much! If I could give you 10 stars I definitely would!

for our big day! He read the crowd and played music accordingly! He also played music that would interest all generations! We had many compliments about him from our guests. The music was not played so loud that you could not hear or have a conversation away from the dance floor which was awesome! He was very incredible and was able to move few things around in our agenda when stuff was behind or ahead! It was everything we wanted! We also had the pleasure of working with Steven Carter who was equally as amazing! They were both very respectful and willing to figure out a way to achieve what we wanted! We would highly recommend Carter Events and Entertainment for any wedding!!

once pressured us to book him, he was giving us ideas as a genuine human being. A few months passed and Steven reached out seeing if we were still in need of a DJ for our wedding. Once we got our venue booked, we couldn’t say no to Steven. He was awesome from the day we met. He sent us a detailed planner to fill out for song choices, must play list, do not play list, etc. The whole process working with Steven was a breeze. He was SO patient with us as we changed our minds on songs, even after the planner was due. He is very reasonably priced compared to other DJ companies in the Milwaukee area. We only booked him for ceremony and reception music, but he has a TON of different things you can add on which is awesome (photobooth, uplighting, and so much more). The day of our wedding he was on time and extremely professional. Our ceremony music was perfectly timed. He kept our guests on the dance floor and played music on our must play list. He had fun transitions from song to song. He was dancing behind the DJ booth which every single guest enjoyed. He even danced with me for a song which was so fun! My guests commented on him throughout the whole night how awesome and fun he was (two weeks later and they’re still talking about how amazing he was)! I didn’t hire a day of coordinator and he took on the responsibility of releasing tables and so much more. I wanted multiple group photos of us with all our guests by family and friend group and Steven was great at announcing each group to make that happen. 10/10 would recommend Carter Events and Entertainment with Steven for your wedding day! He has the best vibes and is so easy to work with. Steven we can’t thank you enough for helping to make our wedding day a success!!

arefully put together our song choices and requests, and came up with a fantastic set of playlists for each part of our wedding day. He was so much fun to work with, and did an outstanding job keeping our crowd pumped up, and on the dance floor! The music, lighting, sound system, and even his personality was out of this world, and we cannot recommend him enough!

ection when our ceremony quickly changed location as it started to down pour outside. He handled it so seamlessly! Steve’s ability to read the crowd was so impressive, our dance floor was never empty all night long! My favorite part was the very end of the night, the bride and groom just wanted one more drink and Steve sprinted outside and found them each one more cocktail as the bartenders packed up. So thoughtful and just a genuinely fun person to have run the show at our big day! We would 1000% recommend Carter Events and Entertainment to all of the soon to be Mr and Mrs out there.

ve made sure that we were always informed of what was upcoming from his side and anything he needed from us. He found all our requested songs, including some Broadway songs that I don't always expect DJs to have. We also heard feedback that he was "quite unannoying", which was high praise in that instance! It meant he perfectly read the vibe of our guests and just made sure to jump in to mention important things rather than trying to be a center of attention when that wouldn't have fit our wedding. We would definitely work with them again, and would recommend them to others as well.

t that they couldn’t hear anything, from the speeches, to the shoe game, to the actual music, so that was a bit disappointing considering the speeches were my favorite part of the night. Another thing is I was asked to make a list of songs I really wanted to have played… and only some of the songs were played, which was disappointing once again. Besides that, Carter and his team are very easy to work with and the meetings we had were very helpful in the planning process, very nice people! Our DJ and officiant were right on schedule.

to get to know my husband and I through the planning of our wedding, which made it extra special! Highly recommend Steven!

ppy we picked Steven and would recommend him to anyone who wants a good time.
