We had the absolute best experience with our wedding DJ! From start to finish, he was nothing short of amazing. The music was spot on the entire night — he somehow managed to capture exactly the vibe we wanted, keeping the energy flowing and the dance floor packed.
His communication was top-tier — responsive, thoughtful, and always ahead of the game. He made us feel like we were his only clients (which we definitely weren’t, haha), and that personal touch meant so much during such a busy time.
He was also incredibly professional and helped us feel completely prepared well in advance of the big day, which took so much stress off our shoulders.
I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, understands how to read a crowd, and will help make your wedding unforgettable — this is your guy!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning, communication was excellent—Carter took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and even created a custom mashup for my aisle song that made the moment unforgettable. Throughout the reception, he kept the dance floor packed all night long, reading the crowd perfectly and keeping the energy up.
On top of that, he offered amazing extras like the cold spark effects, a guest slideshow, and bonus pictures from the dance floor, which were such fun surprises and gave us even more memories to look back on. We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our day so special—highly recommend!
Carter was great entertainment! Played what the crowd wanted to hear and adjusted to what age group was on the dance floor. The "add ons" to the package were a great choice as well. Very impressed
He was very communicative before the big day and made it easy for us to provide our music preferences with a detailed form that we could update throughout the process, helping to organize all our ideas. He listened to our suggestions and was willing to adjust certain songs to fit the desired length. On the day of the wedding, the setup was seamless from my perspective, and he managed everything music-related while coordinating with our other vendors. I was completely hands-off and didn’t have to worry about a single detail. During the dance, he had an excellent sense of what songs to play to match the vibe and keep the party lively. He adhered to our must-play and do-not-play lists and only took recommendations if they fit the atmosphere. He used high-quality, professional equipment. Overall, he was a fantastic DJ - professional and fun!
Would highly recommend CSE for your wedding DJ. From our first inquiry to our last dance, Carter made the entire process so easy for us! He made sure our dance floor was full at all times, and my guests cannot stop raving about how fun our DJ was! Carter offers several add ons to make your reception stand out. We added the cold sparks, dancing on a could, CO2 guns, and the instant spotlight slideshow. The CO2 gun was actually my favorite, such a fun way to hype up the crowd! Hire CSE if you’re looking to PARTY!
Carter was super helpful in planning our big day. He was very thorough about asking questions so he could capture what we wanted for music at our dance. He was also very accommodating when explaining and adding on fun things he has as well. His photo slide show was a hit and we have received so many good comments about it. Dancing on clouds and sparklers just added to the excitement and celebration of the day!
Carter and CS Entertainment get my full approval. Worth every penny spent and would do it all over again if given the chance. He was professional, listened to what we wanted, respected the boundaries we set, kept the flow going of the reception and hosted one heck of a party for us. When my MOH couldn’t make it we quickly pulled it together to have her speech that she’d recorded played on his new booth TV setup and it worked out beautifully even for being a last minute thing. As the day progressed and things came up Carter was flexible and able to shift things as needed. Highly recommend without any hesitation.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will keep the party going way past your bedtime and make your wedding the most unforgettable night of your life, look no further. This man is not just a DJ—he’s an experience.
The dance floor was packed all night, things got wild wild until past 1 AM, and we’re honestly still recovering.
Between the top-tier music selection, insane energy, and fun extras like the cloud and spark machines, Carter took our wedding from “great” to “ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS IS AMAZING.” If you want a DJ who brings the hype, the humor, and the best night of your life—Carter is your guy.
Carter was absolutely incredible and made our wedding day truly unforgettable! From listening to our song requests to handling all the little details, he went above and beyond to create the perfect atmosphere. The cold sparks and dancing on a cloud were amazing touches that really made our photos even more magical. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Carter to anyone looking for a DJ who will make their day extra special. Thank you so much, Carter!
Carter was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional, organized, and made everything DJ-related a breeze. His friendly and outgoing personality made guests feel at ease, whether they were chatting with him or requesting songs. I've had several people tell me how much they loved my reception, especially how the dance floor was packed from start to finish—and that’s all thanks to Carter! He has a great knack for understanding the vibe you’re going for and delivering it perfectly.
I would recommend CS Entertainment to anyone! Carter was amazing and made our wedding night run so smoothy. He pays attention to every detail and listens to every idea me and my husband had for our wedding night. 10/10 would defiantly go through CS Entertainment for any event I would host or go to in the future.
Carter was easy to work with, super affordable, and extremely flexible! We added on the cold sparks and uplighting and loved them. The cold sparks were a fun, unique way to make our day special and made for some great photo opportunities! Carter kept the party going on the dance floor and we had a great experience with him as our DJ. I’ve recommend him to many friends getting married this next year!
I would choose CS Entertainment over and over again! Carter is fun and easy to work with. His spark and fog machines were awesome! They added such a fun flare to our pictures and we got so many compliments! CS Entertainment documents your event with high-quality pictures and videos as well. CS Entertainment is reasonably priced while still offering all of the "extras"! 10/10 recommend.
Carter is the best DJ! We had everyone on the dance floor all night!
Carter was amazing to work with! He is so helpful and did an amazing job. He is so professional and I recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!
Carter is the best DJ you will ever have! He keeps the party going all night long. The music played for our wedding reception was loved by all ages. There was never a moment when the dance floor was dead. He was very flexible with our timeline and made any last minute thing I threw at him, happen. He was also energetic, engaged and professional all night long. I can never recommend CSE enough! I will be reliving these amazing moments forever.
We choose CS Entertainment for our wedding, and Carter did not disappoint! He was so easy going and go with the flow. The bubble feature he uses is SO fun especially if you will have littles attending your wedding. I will recommend carter to all of my friends and brides, I'm a wedding vendor myself, for his amazing experience! Don't hesitate, choose CS Entertainment!
Carter is an awesome DJ! He made sure he played the list of songs that I gave him and also made sure we had a blast playing all the newlywed games! As a bonus he even made a AMAZING video to share the next day of everyone’s sweet dance moves! Which I will admit I have watched about 10 times because I want to go back to that night!
I would totally recommend Carter for your special event because he was awesome and everyone that was at my wedding had nothing but great things to say about him!!
We used CS entertainment for our wedding and could not say enough good things! His set up was amazing, and he is very professional and down to earth! He surprised us with bubbles during our first dance and those pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL. He is the best choice for your event hands down!!
