Matthew was wonderful! His pricing was incredible, he is so communicative and is a wealth of knowledge about weddings. We have received so many compliments about our DJ from our guests. He is friendly and just kept everything moving even with the timing changes. No one ever left the party or was unaware of what was going on. Absolutely incredible!
Matt DJ'd for our wedding at Le'Reve Estate and Vineyards. His DJ skills will bring the energy and he does a good job taking our input and of feeling out the crowd to figure out the right vibe to hit.
Matthew was the DJ for our wedding in October 2024 and was absolutely fantastic! He was awesome and responsive as we planned our event and helped us throughout the entire process. During the event he was a great MC and managed the energy of the event perfectly. Would absolutely recommend him for any event!
I might be a bit biased, but Matthew truly stood out as one of the best DJs I've ever seen at a wedding! From our very first interaction, he was incredibly responsive and attentive, taking the time to get to know us as a couple during our phone calls. This personal touch made a world of difference and set the tone for our planning process.
Leading up to the big day, Matthew worked closely with us to curate the perfect playlist, ensuring every song reflected our vision for the celebration. His user-friendly online portal made collaboration seamless, allowing us to design the wedding of our dreams together.
On the day of the wedding, Matthew's energy and professionalism were simply unmatched. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the dance floor packed all night long. I can't recommend him highly enough—if you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your event and create unforgettable memories, look no further than Matthew!
We hired Matthew for our wedding at Haggin Oaks and he did not disappoint!! One of our biggest concerns when hiring a DJ for our wedding was to make sure we hired someone that would actually play the music we requested. We had been to many weddings in the past where the DJ didn’t even play the music the bride and groom requested. However, this was not the case with Matthew! We had the best time at our wedding dancing all night and so did our guests, thanks to Matthew. We received many compliments throughout the night on the music. He is very professional and definitely knows what he is doing when it comes to weddings!! He even stepped in when needed when there were some hiccups with our venue coordinator. He made sure everything ran smoothly the entire night and made us feel comfortable/confident. Would highly recommend Cope Entertainment for your next wedding/event ☺️ 10/10!!
Cope was awesome. He did such a good job at our wedding. He was very professional and people told us afterwards how much they enjoyed his DJing and MCing.
Matthew did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! He was super easy to plan with and his website helped us make the perfect playlist! We had a great time dancing and he made sure everything flowed smoothly! He also has a great announcement voice! I would absolutely hire him again!
Matthew was our MC & DJ for our wedding at Scribner Bend in Sacramento. During the planning process his attention to detail, planning and communication was wonderful! We had a lot on our plate at the time and he did a great job guiding us to make sure we were ready for the big day! During the day of, Matthew really did a wonderful job connecting with our guests, playing the music we requested as well as playing music our guests were requesting. We high recommend Cope Entertainment for any of your MC & DJ needs!!!
Matthew was an excellent DJ! Due to our venue’s (Grand Island Mansion) comprehensive packages, we only needed to hire a few key vendors. We’re so glad Cope Entertainment was one of them. Matthew was responsive, a helpful emcee and brought the energy out of our guests - a tall order for a morning wedding!
Matthew was our DJ/MC at Scribner bend and was amazing!! We loved working with him throughout the process, he really made it easy for us. He had great tips and insight on the process. We also really appreciated the way he helped move the party along and kept the vibe we were looking for!
Matthew was simply a phenomenal DJ, emcee, and entertainer for our wedding at the Chalet Event Center in Rocklin, California. From start to finish Matthew was instrumental in seeing through our vision for different audio visual styles for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. His experience and understanding of trending music took the pressure off planning. He offers live one on one meetings and an interactive music portal. Don’t forget to ask him about uplighting and cold sparks, which tied a bow on our special day. We highly recommend Cope Entertainment for your wedding.
Matthew was amazing! From start to finish, he helped guide us through the experience of creating our perfect wedding playlist. The process was stress free and we really felt like he understood us as a couple and the general atmosphere we were going for. He puts a lot of time and effort into getting to know his couples, which we really appreciated. Our wedding day playlist was well-curated by him and he did a great job of hyping up our guests. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!
Cope Entertainment was a fantastic partner in our wedding journey. Matthew made the process easy (and fun) for us. His website is well-organized and made it simple for my wife and me to plan all DJing/MCing activities. He played all of our favorite songs and made sure our final, private dance was one to remember. We would highly recommend his services for any wedding or party!
After having issues with our initial DJ we were referred to Matt and I’m so glad we went with him as our wedding DJ. He came in and saved the day literally two days before wedding. From the outside ceremony to the inside reception, he made the transition so smooth. He was very friendly and helpful especially to me, the bride, he really helped with timelines and keeping people on the dance floor. He maintained communication with my husband and I throughout our wedding to make sure everything was going perfect. He was a perfect MC and DJ for our wedding night. He will be our go to for any future events, and we will definitely highly recommend him to all our friends and family!
Matt did an amazing job at our wedding as the MC and DJ. He was flexible with his schedule and able to execute everything perfectly having only met twice to go over wedding details. My family had a great time and he played all the songs we requested. We even had live music and worked his magic to make things happen. My wife and I had a blast and can't wait to hire him for our future events.
We recently had our wedding at the Firehouse Restaurant in Sacramento and we couldn't be more pleased with the services provided by Matthew Cope. He was professional, punctual, and maintained a great line of communication with us and the restaurant staff. As our MC, he ensured the night ran smoothly and flawlessly transitioned between each segment. Matt's positive energy was contagious and working with him was anre. He played the perfect music to match the overall tone and energy of the night, ensuring that every moment was executed perfectly. From the ceremony to the dances and everything in between, Matthew did an outstanding job. We highly recommend Cope Entertainment for anyone in need of a top-tier DJ and MC. Thank you, Matt, for making our wedding an unforgettable experience! absolute pleasu
Five stars doesn’t do Mathew & Cope Entertainment justice! From our first meeting we knew we made the right choice in having Mathew DJ & MC our wedding.
Mathew had the perfect balance of listening to our preferences of music, and then building a set with what we chose with similar music that fit mine and my wife’s personalities and styles.
#1 favorite thing: Mathew does not only want to know a list of songs that you want to hear at your wedding. He spends the time and energy to ask WHY you like those songs/artists. He then uses that information to put together an amazing set.
As for the MC side of things, Mathew knew how to keep the wedding moving smoothly while still keeping the mood light and the party going.
I’ll say it again, you will not be disappointed, Mathew/Cope Entertainment did an AMAZING job.
Matt went above and beyond the entire time we were preparing for the wedding. He spent hours curating multiple playlists for the ceremony and reception that I now get to go back and listen to. He DJed the open dance part of the reception perfectly and allowed for the more unique song choices we had. After the reception, several guests stated it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and that was largely thanks to Matt's services. He kept the night going smoothly and kept us on time as an MC. I highly recommend him for any event.
Matthew was the DJ for my sister's wedding, and she highly recommend him. My partner and I were thrilled that he was available to help with our wedding years later. Matthew took the time to meet with us three times digitally to discuss the plans and to get to know us. He asked questions and made recommendations that really made us feel supported and understood. He also emailed us back promptly whenever we reached out to him. He made the entire process as fun and easy as it could be.
By the time the big day rolled around, I really feel like Matthew understood us as a couple. He helped to make the event everything we hoped it would be. I cannot have asked for a better DJ.
Cope Entertainment also brought a photo booth and an attendant up to our venue. It was such a nice addition to the event. We love the scrapbook we got at the end of the night. A few days later, we received the digital versions of the pictures and the video messages. It was so special!
Matthew was the DJ for our wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards at the end of April 2023. To make this simple - BOOK. HIM. NOW! We would give him more stars if we could.
Cope Entertainment was on the preferred list provided by our venue and after much research, it was clear to see why. He lives up to his amazing reviews and then some.
Matthew was so helpful throughout the planning process with phone and video chats and put any anxieties at ease. He answered all questions quickly and was extremely professional. He helped us figure out which music was important to us and encouraged us to play what WE wanted. I was hesitant to choose our walk out song, as it was a little out of the norm, but he reminded us that this was OUR wedding and encouraged us to do what makes us happy - and the grand entrance turned out even more fun than we could have imagined!
He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and all our guests had such great things to say the next day. He really took all our suggestions and turned it into the best playlist. Also, the portal is so easy to use and makes planning simple.
We used the monogram lighting, which turned out to be the perfect touch in the background, especially for photos. We also booked the photobooth - so much fun and looking at the album we got to take home was hilarious! A great keepsake.
Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Matthew for your wedding/next big event! Thank you again!!
If you are having a wedding in the Sacramento area or any event requiring a DJ, My husband and I cannot recommend Matthew enough. It was very easy to work with him. Every time we met up with him we laughed a lot, and he respected our music taste, which lean a bit more towards the classic rock and metal genres.
He helped us find tasteful music for the ceremony and made our reception Crazy fun. We had 67 close friends and family at a local private country club and even the venue said they’ve never seen a wedding that fun and all of our friends and family just had a complete blast. Get Matthew to do your event, we will definitely be working with him again!
We love ya Matthew! Nathan and Jessica Lacey 5/27/2023
Matthew was our wedding DJ at Le Reve in Elk Grove, and he was absolutely amazing! He was one of the easiest vendors we worked with, which was no small feat since we were planning our wedding from overseas.
My family is Cuban and my husband's Aussie, so we were a little worried about how we would blend both groups music tastes to keep everyone on the dance floor.
Matthew was so helpful and accommodating. He encouraged us to be a part of the music selection process, and with his great ear, mixed and blended different genres from R&B and reggaeton to country rock seamlessly.
When it came to creating a playlist that was both unique to us and that everyone loved, he knocked it out of the park. He kept the dance floor packed all night long, and everyone complimented the music the following day.
In addition to his musical talents, Matthew is also a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer our questions and flexible in accommodating our requests.
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! If you're looking for a DJ who will make your wedding day unforgettable, we highly recommend Matthew.
Matthew Cope with Cope Entertainment truly exceeded our expectations. He is clearly a professional and did an outstanding job as our wedding DJ. Matthew didn’t just crank out tunes on a speaker, he paid attention and did his homework to ensure every detail was accounted for. And when I say detail, I’m talking pronunciation of peoples names, knowing who our vendors were, names of special guests and shout outs, and the list goes on. Matthew made sure that we stayed on schedule without ever seeming pushy or hectic; he has a smooth and charismatic way of working the crowd and directing guests. His humor was spot on and he respected and executed on all of our requests. I would absolutely recommend Cope Entertainment to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ experience.
We are so glad we hired Matthew from Cope Entertainment to be our DJ and MC at our wedding! We got married at a beautiful, fairly newer venue called Le Rêve Estate in Elk Grove, CA. My fiancé and I had no idea what we were doing in terms of planning a wedding but Matthew made the process that much easier by answering all of our questions plus he has an online portal that helped guide us through what we needed for each segment of our wedding. He dressed professionally in a suite and most importantly kept our whole evening running along smoothly from the reception to our exit. We were able to create a list of songs we liked and Matthew put together a great playlist but also changed up the music during dancing to fit the mood and what others wanted. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to everyone for weddings or any other event you may have.
Matt was as good as can be. He has a portal to login to, so you can add music requests whenever something comes to mind. He setup initial meeting and then a follow up to ensure everything was settled and all of our decisions were made. Come wedding day we had absolutely nothing to worry about, everything was so perfect. Entrances and dancing and Mics for speeches along with introductions. We didn't have to think about anything and It was such an amazing time. The photo booth add on also gave our guests some fun pics. Can't recommend enough for your events.
We can’t say enough about how much we loved having Cope Entertainment/Matthew as our DJ for our wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi,CA! He made the whole process such a breeze. We had zoom meetings multiple times before our wedding. We spoke about what we needed and what we expected during that day. The portal we were given made adding songs and comments about different parts of the wedding easy. He was incredibly kind and professional. He was probably better about communicating than we were, which is definitely not the case when it comes to other vendors! He worked with us when we wanted specific songs during the ceremony and added personal touches to both the cocktail hour and dinner music. When we say we danced the entire reception, we truly mean it. He navigated the mood of the crowd perfectly. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without Matthew and we would recommend him for absolutely anybody!
So professional. Matthew was so amazing to work with, all of our other vendors made a point of letting us know how incredible, flexible and responsive he was. 10/10 recommend.
We were very happy to work with Matthew for our wedding. His system helped us easily choose songs and customize the event. A number of guests also commented on his professionalism. He was friendly and easy-going whenever we had Zoom meetings. We were also one of the bumped COVID weddings and were grateful Matthew was quite flexible as we found a new date. Thanks again for helping us through a great party!
We got married this past July at Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove and Matthew was our DJ. We really enjoyed the process for music selection - Matthew has this online selection tool where clients can add songs to different categories such as "must play", "do not play", etc. I particularly wanted to play this Chinese song during our cake cutting so to represent a bit of where my family comes from and he found the song for me. He was very supportive of us having the wedding we wanted and we love that about him!
Matthew is also great with communication. Perhaps this isn't a quality couples necessarily look for when looking for a DJ, but leading up to the wedding with a lot of loose ends to tie up there is a difference between vendors who take a few business days to respond to emails (still totally understandable) and someone who always gets back to you the day of. You know that feeling where you start to question whether or not to send a follow-up email? With Matthew, we've never once felt like we had to track him down and it gave us peace of mind knowing that he was just a text/phone call away. Find someone who is professional and consistent!
We couldn't be happier on our wedding day. Matthew played every single song we asked for. I wasn't aware but my husband later told me that at one point the flower at our table got too close to the candles and was beginning to catch on fire. Matthew noticed it and put it out. So, in a way, he saved our wedding! We can't recommend him enough.
We are so glad we chose Cope Entertainment to be our wedding DJ/MC. From the beginning, Matthew was kind, responsive, and professional. During our meetings, he explained everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions. The music selection page was very straightforward to use, and the event planning page essentially served as a ceremony/reception timeline. We also utilized his uplighting services, which added an extra pop to our venue (Pavilion at Haggin Oaks). It goes without saying that he did a wonderful job as DJ/MC on wedding day.
Wedding planning is hectic. Hire Cope Entertainment, and you'll have a vendor that you never have to worry about.
We got married at Scribner Bend Vineyard 3 weeks ago- Cope Entertainment was one of the preferred vendors for our venue, and we honestly could not have made a better decision.
Pre-wedding prep:
Aside from our venue coordinator, we probably interacted with Matt the most. He was extremely attentive, and would send us check-in emails to make sure things were moving in the right direction. We also had multiple webcam meetings with Matt to talk through the events of the big day and discuss the flow. Matt provided us with an online portal where we entered in song requests (as well as a do-not-play list). We gave him very broad suggestions (eg genres we liked, artists we enjoyed) and he nailed the playlist.
Wedding day:
Matt provided our officiant with a lapel mic as well as a handheld mic to hold up to our faces during vows, so we could be hands free. His emcee skills are also amazing- he kept the flow going, kept the energy up, and helped direct the guests after the ceremony. When cocktail hour was winding down, he made sure to come round us up and give us a heads up for the grand entrance. He also went through the bridal party list to make sure names were pronounced correctly. His energy throughout the event was just amazing. I was especially impressed with his emcee skills during the toasts/speeches- he was so great on the fly, making transitions super smooth. We received several comments from guests afterwards about how terrific he was!
We were both extremely happy that we booked Cope Entertainment, and would highly recommend Matt as a wedding DJ/emcee
Matthew was so helpful when it came to creating the ceremony and reception we wanted! We were really unprepared for how to structure our ceremony in particular, and he brought his expertise and skills to help us do that well. He was enthusiastic about all our ideas, getting to know us, and making sure the reception was what we wanted it to be. On the day, he was so responsive to our guests and their requests, and even included my nephew by letting him help with some DJ stuff which he just loved! He really made our reception so much fun and all our guests had a great time. The dance floor was never empty!
Matthew and Cope Entertainment were excellent to work with, the communication throughout was fantastic and he helped us truly personalize our experience while also taking a lot of the stress out of the process. We received many compliments on how the entertainment and music was run throughout the night, and I felt like I had a great deal of input on the choices but was confident in Matthew running the show so I could enjoy my wedding. We would highly recommend to other couples.
I have worked many weddings alongside Matt as a Vendor but this last April I had the joy of being a Bridesmaid for a wedding he was the DJ/Emcee for, not just any wedding but my Sister's wedding.
It all started in 2020 when she had her full list of vendors and venue booked - then hit the pandemic.
Fast forward a few months and 2 new wedding dates later and she had to rebook all of her vendors, unfortunately where she was getting married there weren't many to choose from so I had her reach out to some of the vendors I have worked alongside in Sacramento and see if they would be willing to travel/had the date available.
Lucky us Matt Cope with Cope Entertainment had the date free and was willing/excited to travel with us for her wedding!
Matt did a phenomenal job keeping the party going, our families could not say enough amazing praises for Matt and his professionalism. Being in the industry I truly have to say that Matt far exceeded my expectations and the many weddings we have worked together after my sister's wedding have proven to be the same praise: incredibly professional, smooth in his transitions and sure to keep the party going.
I cannot thank him enough for stepping in to help my sister in a pinch and drive a few hours out of his way, on his own dime, to ensure their wedding was perfect.
I am looking forward to a year ahead of working alongside Matt on many more phenomenal weddings.
Matt was absolutely amazing! During my entire wedding planning process he was the best vendor to communicate with! He was so much fun and helpful on our wedding day and had all of our guests out on the dance floor! Anybody would be lucky to hire Cope entertainment for their wedding!
Matthew did such a great job for my wedding ceremony and reception! The music he played was great and exactly what we wanted. The speakers and microphones were all very good quality sound and worked flawlessly. I highly recommend Matthew for any event, he was great to work with and did an excellent job as our MC/DJ!!!
Matt did a great job keeping the energy up at our wedding and getting everyone on the dance floor! He also helped set up our friend's band so they could perform our first dance, which was very meaningful to us.
Dj Matthew Cope made our wedding reception a night to remember! He is familiar with anything and everything music, from equipment to genre to theory...heck even a bomb a** MC! He is all about what his client wants and even more. Everything revolves around the bride and groom. He meets with you beforehand to go over all the details. Hands down, best Dj everrrrrrr!
Wonderful Wedding DJ!! He helped me fine tune what I was hoping for in the tone for the evening, and he nailed it with our song list! He helped keep me on track with our timeline and made sure everyone had a great time! Everyone at the wedding loved Him!
Matthew did a great job at our wedding! Everything he needed leading up to the wedding was super easy and stress free for us, he really worked hard to make sure he wasn't adding alot of extra onto our plate. We got a ton of compliments on the music!
Matt Cope is a gem! I couldn't have asked a for a better DJ/MC. He had people out dancing ever before dinner started! He knew exactly what we wanted and his song selection was perfect.
Matthew was a dream when it came to honoring our wishes and making sure the party went flawlessly;He could have been more available by phone and email to coordinate.
