Collins Entertainment

, communication was clear, professional, and easy. Houston took the time to understand the vibe we wanted—something lively and personal—and he delivered it perfectly. On the day of our wedding at Smith Farm Gardens, Houston was seamless. He kept the energy high without ever overpowering the moment, mixed in our must-play songs (and a few perfect surprises), and read the room incredibly well. The dance floor stayed full for hours, and so many guests later told us it was one of the best wedding playlists and DJ sets they’d experienced. He handled the ceremony, recessional, mother-son dance, father-daughter dance, and transitions with perfect timing and care, and everything felt smooth and celebratory rather than forced. What we appreciated most was how present and professional Houston was throughout the process. He was easy to work with, stayed flexible when things shifted slightly, and clearly wanted everyone to have an amazing time. The sound quality was excellent, the setup was clean and unobtrusive, and the overall experience felt polished without losing any of the fun. If you’re looking for a DJ and entertainment company that is reliable, high-energy, and genuinely invested in making your night special, we couldn’t recommend Collins Entertainment and Houston more highly. They helped create some of our favorite memories from the entire wedding. Houston even surprised us with a video montage the next day which was such a thoughtful touch! Thank you for everything, Houston! 

choice of entertainment. DJ Charlie was knowledgeable and offered great suggestions to us during our planning call. On our wedding day, DJ Lou was PHENOMENAL - he cued us all down the aisle, managed the sound during our backyard ceremony, and expertly flowed through our cocktail hour and dinner music (and was sure to play my father's special requests!) and transitioned us into a dance party with ease. We aren't the biggest dancers, and we were nervous the vibes would feel low/awkward, but our dance floor was POPPIN and our guests all had a BLAST dancing to millennial throwbacks, wedding classics, and current hits. Two weeks after our wedding, we're still getting texts saying what an amazing job our DJ did and asking for his contact information. Also - DJ Lou checked in with me and my husband throughout the evening, making sure we knew what was happening next, and that he knew what our preferences were as far as speech timing, guiding guests out of the tent for our private last dance, etc. We felt very supported and considered, which was much appreciated. Last thing - we LOVED that he handed a microphone to my 4 year-old nephew for an impromptu speech during dinner. It was hysterical, and a highlight of the evening for everyone. Thank you, thank you!

we expected from a proffesional DJ. With an extremely accomidating staff you are sure to have the experiance you desire by hiring them. 1000% recommend Collins Entertainment!! Thank you guys, so so much!!!!!

h on the big day. From the initial coordination with Mitch, to emailing back and forth with Mitch, the owner Jim, and Charlie to address our questions, to the respect for our song requests and capturing our overall theme, we were really pleased throughout. We appreciated the event planning platform, which forced us to think through all of the questions that a DJ, the Master of Ceremonies, really needs to know to make an event successful. The Collins team also sends periodic wedding countdown reminder e-mails that are extremely helpful and ensured that we were doing the right things at the right time. We only had two minor complaints. First, we were unhappy that one profane rap song made it into the dancing portion of the night - which in fairness may have been requested by one of our family members - but it really threw off the vibe for us for a couple of minutes (especially because we had a lot of family and older guests in attendance). Not sure if others noticed it as much, as the dancing continued regardless. Second, the website platform is a little unintuitive, and could probably use an update in the next few years: the site is also not integrated with any music platform (like Spotify or YouTube), which made it a little cumbersome to toggle between browser windows. Our ceremony was extremely important to us, and we were nervous about it because it was outdoors and we weren’t entirely sure how the acoustics and electrical setup would work at the venue. Charlie made sure that the prelude and processional music and ceremony audio were perfectly timed, at the right volume, and that the microphone and other equipment were functional without interruption. While it’s probably an industry standard, we still truly appreciated that Charlie matched our dress code for the wedding, and looked super sharp in his suit despite the August weather and the air conditioning failing in the reception area just before the wedding! Charlie captured our requested music themes for the cocktail hour and throughout the reception, made the right introductions and announcements throughout. He did a fantastic job of reading the room and keeping things moving, and provided the exact level of interaction and number of announcements that we were hoping for. It all felt very natural. People danced throughout, despite it being hot in the building, and Charlie kept everybody moving and built off our requested playlist very well. We were also so glad we chose the uplighting option - it made the reception area look so much better as the evening progressed, and we couldn’t imagine the space without that detail. We were really going for a classy, timeless wedding day, and Charlie and the Collins Entertainment team did a phenomenal job of making that a reality. They paid attention to the details, were extremely professional yet relatable, and demonstrated skill in their craft. We’ve been to so many weddings and the choice of a DJ can really make or break the day. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Collins Entertainment for our wedding every time, and we strongly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding or event!
