At Cherry State Entertainment, we believe the best wedding receptions are equal parts energy and elegance. As a relationship-based wedding entertainment company, we help couples create celebrations that feel natural, personal, and undeniably fun.
Between our team members, we bring more than 45 years of experience to wedding receptions across Michigan and beyond. Over the years, we've learned that great wedding entertainment isn't really about music. It's about people. It's about understanding your story, your guests, and the kind of atmosphere you want to create from the moment you walk into the room until the final song of the night.
One thing we hear all the time from couples is that they've attended weddings where the DJ simply played songs. The music was there, but the experience never quite came together. Our approach is a little different. We see ourselves as partners in creating the overall feel of your reception. Throughout the evening, we're paying attention to the room, reading the energy, and making thoughtful adjustments so everything feels natural, seamless, and fun.
Some couples want to handpick every song. Others want us to take the lead and read the crowd. Most land somewhere in the middle. Whatever your style, we'll work together to create a plan that reflects your personalities and helps your guests feel connected to the celebration.
In addition to DJ and MC services, we offer live music, photo booth experiences, ceremony audio, event lighting, officiating services, and wedding planning & coordination, allowing couples to simplify their planning process by working with a team they already know and trust.
At the end of the day, our goal is pretty simple. We want you to be fully present for one of the most important days of your life while we help create an atmosphere where your favorite people can celebrate right alongside you. If your vision includes a packed dance floor, meaningful moments, and a reception that feels effortless from start to finish, we'd be honored to be part of your story.

They were absolutely AMAZING! My fiance and I booked with them but everything fell through and we had to turn around and rebook our entire wedding 4 months out in our home state in...
stead of Michigan. Cherry State entertainment was so understanding, they even gave us our deposit back (despite their contract saying it was non refundable). They worked so hard to get another couple to book with them for the date we had originally scheduled so they could refund us. They were so communicative and just such a ray of sunshine in this dark world. It’s so nice to know nice people still exist out there. BOOK WITH THEM!!! Seriously you won’t regret it. They get back with you so fast and they are so understandable. You can tell they just wanted to give us our perfect day!

h him in the months leading up to the wedding, he listened to what we needed for music and was able to help us with any decisions we may still need to make re: music, speeches, and timing. He was incredibly respectful, kind, competent, and a joy to have on our wedding day which made the day easy and fun!

Jeremy and Kristin with Cherry State were next level. From my first interaction with them I felt like they were the right people to bring our wedding to life, and with each check i...
n call leading up to the event they alleviated more and more stress. They really helped us feel like we could pull this thing off! They were fast and thorough communicators, knew all the right things to consider, and supported our vision for our weekend, no matter how untraditional. Extra special shout out to Kristin for her day of services - all over social media I would see coordinators posting about what they don't do on the day of the wedding, but Kristin does it all. She was the glue of our day and did an incredible job working with the rest of our team to make things flow. At one point I realized I didn't even know the last time I worried about what time it was. They really made us feel like guests at our wedding and allowed us to enjoy the time with each other and our guests. Our guests were so complimentary of the music and said it was the best dance floor they'd ever experienced at a wedding - thank you Jeremy! In case it isn't clear at this point, I highly recommend Cherry State 🥂

Jeremy is very easy to work with and does everything he can to help the event go exactly as you want it. He felt more like a friend at our reception than one of our vendors. He imm...
ediately developed a relationship with our 7 year old and checked in with him at multiple points to make sure he was comfortable with participating during parts of the reception. The guests all loved him and we got many compliments. He was very animated throughout the night and made sure everyone was having a good time.

We are very excited to work with Jeremy! His energy, professionalism, and experience are just what we were hoping for, for this event that means so much to us. He was the only ente...
rtainment vendor who scheduled a zoom call instead of a phone call to talk about pricing and information, which meant a lot. He is a natural when it comes to entertainment. After more than a decade performing for his church and deejaying and emceeing for weddings with his mentor. He also thought about things like our neighbors and noise levels and is very professional. He even stopped by the venue and met my parents to scope out the property and what he would be working with. I also wanted to mention the fact that he is always early to meet and was already giving thought to the wedding schedule and how things would be set up for the day. He is comfortable leading and reading a crowd and emceeing the event and keeping things on schedule. He also has a backup plan in the rare event that something goes wrong. He is new to the knot, but not new to the industry and is very well connected for any needs we might have.
