With a disaster on the rise .. emotions flooding as a very well thought out plan had been flipped on its head, the marvelous Sue came in. She laid out all of our options on how to ...
wiggle around the unforeseeable. She turned a stomach ache inducing moment into a small hiccup.. and that hiccup turned an unfortunate moment into an unforgettable night!!!
Both Sue and Don light up the place and made it so much fun, not just for us (the couple) but for EVERYONE!! There wasn’t a moment where the dance floor was empty or where people weren’t having fun!!
If you want your day/night to be unforgettable and the talk of the year, Dance Masters Entertainment is the way to go!! 10/10 recommend!!!

t. Sue is not only a great MC but also has the maternal instinct to make sure the bride keeps it together throughout the entire day and evening. She helped keep me calm in times of heightened emotion, and she has an AMAZING talent for bustling a wedding gown! Sue and Don met with my husband and I shortly before our wedding to review all of our song details in full. They delivered countless early 2000's hits, just as we requested, and kept the dance floor engaged all night! Our wedding was truly a blast and such a special night because of them, and we couldn't thank them enough. They are a 20/10 choice for your DJ entertainment.

We could not have asked for a better DJ for our Winter Wonderland wedding on 12/13/2025! From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and so thoughtfully done.
Sue ...
and Don perfectly captured the cozy, magical winter vibe we envisioned while keeping the energy up all night long. The transitions were smooth, the timing for each special moment was spot-on, and the dance floor stayed full from the first song to the last. Our guests are still talking about how great the music was.
What truly stood out was how easy and reassuring they were to work with—organized, attentive, and clearly experienced. They listened to our vision and executed it flawlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day.
If you’re looking for a DJ who can read the room, elevate the atmosphere, and make your wedding unforgettable, look no further. We’re so grateful they were part of ours!

The necessity for last minute changes to plans laid with as much attention to detail as those for a wedding could leave any mother of a bride fearing that challenges facing her dau...
ghter’s wedding day may be insurmountable…
Enter Sue Fowler of Dance Masters Entertainment….
I had read glowing reviews and heard nothing but praise from our venue staff about the energy and expertise of Don and Sue, but never could I have imagined how I would lean on Sue when the Big Day was upon us. I refer to far more than emceeing and setting a great mood with music choices and mixing. Make no mistake; Don and Sue absolutely excel at these and would be an amazing choice for any event. But, when we were faced with the need to make major timeline adjustments to our daughter’s wedding day, Sue was a rock: calmly talking us through our options, gently presenting them to the couple, along with Don working skillfully and efficiently with venue staff and photographer to adjust plans; constantly and quietly recalibrating to make the day seamless for bridal party and guests. And all the while, she was joyful and engaging as emcee and was checking on me to see if I needed anything.
…a Master, indeed, and one to whom we are so grateful.
With thanks beyond words,
~Mother of the Bride, 11-14-25 💗

Sue did an absolutely phenomenal job choreographing our first dance for our wedding! We first heard about her through a friend who had the most beautiful first dance at her own wed...
ding, and as soon as I got engaged, I knew we had to work with Sue, too.
We came in to our first session nervous—especially since we had chosen a very unconventional song for our first dance, Ice Nine Kills’ “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” It’s a slow, hauntingly beautiful song that we weren’t sure would translate into a dance, but Sue immediately put our minds at ease. Within minutes, she created a stunning routine that made us feel like professionals before the end of our first session!
Sue left no detail overlooked—she made sure our hand placements were perfect, that I was comfortable dancing in my wedding shoes, and even coached my fiancé on how to accommodate my dress without ever spoiling the surprise. She truly became our biggest cheerleader. Our private sessions felt personal, relaxed, and full of laughter. She let us learn at our own pace and gave us the space to be our goofy, authentic selves.
In the middle of all the wedding chaos, our dance lessons became the highlight of our week. They melted away our stress and gave us something fun and meaningful to look forward to together. Beyond the dance itself, Sue even took time to show us how to pose walking down the aisle and how to nail the perfect dip for our photographer—she genuinely thought of everything!
Sue went far above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We are so excited for our family and friends to see our first dance, and we owe it all to her. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you, Sue, for giving us such a special experience and a memory we’ll cherish forever.
If you’re a bride considering working with Sue—don’t think twice. Book her. It’s one of the best decisions you’ll make!

floor was always full. The timing, sound, and quality was all phenomenal and the music helped bring the emotions during our ceremony and the energy all night long. Don did a fantastic job of mixing our music selection (country, which can be difficult to dance to in a party atmosphere) with club music, and all the popular songs to keep people engaged and the party moving. He has a knack for reading the room and always playing the right thing at the right time. These two truly care about their craft and seem to have a blast doing what they do and it shows. They took great care of me and my new husband and I cannot speak highly enough of them. I can't even begin to imagine rating them anything less than 5 stars because 5 stars doesn't even do them justice.

The transitions between songs and events were seamless, and they made our announcements fun, exciting, and full of personality. They played all of our favorite songs and somehow got a whole wedding full of cops out on the dance floor breaking it down all night long—it was incredible!
Don and Sue truly went above and beyond to make our wedding one of the most memorable nights of our new life together. We can’t thank them enough and would recommend Dance Masters Entertainment to anyone who wants their wedding or event to be full of joy, laughter, and nonstop dancing!

m the first phone call their professionalism and expertise was readily apparent. As we moved closer to our wedding date, Sue made a point of checking in to ensure we were aligned on the order of events and procedures for the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception, and was very accommodating of the traditions and events we wanted to add in.
This is nothing to say of the absolutely exceptional job Sue did with day of coordination. She kept 20 different moving pieces in line and on time, all while entertaining and engaging our guests. Don did an excellent job with DJ’ing, working in our eclectic taste of music with some more mainstream crowdpleasers. It really sounds like I’m just writing a fluff piece here, but honest to goodness, I can’t find any fault with these two! They were lovely to have as guests, a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend them enough for any event you’re organizing or hosting, whether that is a wedding, a party, or another large gathering. Don and Sue will make it better, bar none.

As parents of the Quigley/ Lambert wedding, I am highly recommending Dance Masters with Sue and Don. From the start when we first contacted them, they responded quickly and had so...
mething for everyone’s budget. Once the contract was signed, we paid the down payment and then given date for the rest to be paid. As the wedding date got closer, they were given a meeting date so they could talk about what songs they wanted to use during their wedding and other fine tuning they needed before the big day. Don-Dj and Sue- Mc are very reliable, organized, energetic and flexible. Number one goal is to make sure that you have the best wedding receptionand the most enjoyable time for you and your guest and they knocked it out of the ballpark. Sue make sure that the bride and groom knew every step of what was going to happen. She made sure they had snacks and hydration to keep them going during this long day. She even went as far as the bustle the bride dress so she could get out there and dance. While Don played awesome music, Sue got people out on the dance floor , even teaching them dances and also just letting the Bridal party And Guest have an awesome day! I have never been to a reception that moved as smoothly as this one did with Dan and Sue dance masters. Wedding reception is gonna be highly recommend dance masters

DJ Don kept the vibe going all night with a perfect mix of music that had everyone on the dance floor—from the first song to the last. They were incredibly responsive to our music preferences, seamlessly blending genres while keeping the energy up. The sound system was crystal clear, and the lighting setup added an amazing ambiance to the room.
Sue was the perfect host—engaging, charismatic, and never overbearing. They kept the event flowing smoothly, made all the necessary announcements with enthusiasm and clarity, and really knew how to hype up the crowd. Their timing was spot-on, and they worked flawlessly with the DJ to make the night unforgettable. Sue is so kind and so helpful throughout the night making everything flow smoothly while keeping people engaged and involved.

I can’t thank Sue and Don from Dance Masters Entertainment enough for making our wedding day so unforgettable.
We had seen them in action at two other weddings and absolutely loved...
the energy and fun they brought to each one so choosing them for our own wedding was an easy decision. What I didn’t fully appreciate until it was our day was just how much care, attention, and behind-the-scenes coordination they bring to the entire process.
From the very beginning, Sue and Don were wonderful to work with. They were flexible when we needed to reschedule our planning meeting and made everything super easy with their song selection and playlist tools. Planning with them was stress-free.
But where they truly shine is on the wedding day itself. Sue was like an unofficial second wedding coordinator, helping everything run smoothly and keeping us on schedule without ever making it feel rushed or forced. Don handled the music perfectly from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception. He read the room flawlessly and knew exactly what songs to play to keep the energy up all night.
Sue was the heartbeat of the reception. As the MC, she kept things flowing with warmth, humor, and so much positive energy. She even brought light-up dance sticks that our guests loved! So many of my family members have told me how much they adored her. Sue truly connected with everyone and kept the party alive.
Sue and Don went above and beyond to help make our day extraordinary. I am so grateful for everything they did, and I couldn’t imagine our wedding without them.

Want to take things down a notch and play a slow song for you and your guests? Don was right there to listen to and incorporate your request.

I could not have asked for a better DJ! Derek Heckler was amazing. He understood the vibes for each part of the wedding and executed perfectly. The ceremony songs I picked specific...
ally but everything else was on him. I had stated I was very alternative/emo, and my husband is more hip hop/rap. DJ Derek melded those perfectly together. All the younger people partied on the dance floor all night, and all the older folks have told me how much fun it was to watch us get excited and dance to each new song. I cannot recommend Derek enough!!!!

We and all of our wedding guests absolutely loved Dance Masters Entertainment! Before our wedding, we had multiple planning calls with Sue, Don, and Chris in order to create the be...
st timeline for not only DJ events, but for the entire wedding schedule of events. We had Chris as our DJ and he was perfect! He arrived early to set up and sync with our officiant, timing all of the ceremony songs perfectly with the details of the script and the wedding party movements. We didn’t use any wedding planners or external day of coordinators, but Chris definitely filled that role and helped make sure that all the events in our schedule occurred seamlessly. A few things need to shift slightly in the timeline, and Chris made sure that all of the wedding party, venue staff, photographers, and guests were synced flawlessly. We had almost 200 guests with very varied and generationally different music taste and Chris kept the entire dance floor packed for the entire wedding! We also had Sue choregraph and teach us our first dance. Without having any dancing experience, she walked us through everything and we felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. We ended up having so much fun with the dance and it will be something we will look back on fondly forever! Dance Masters is the best and we cannot recommend their entire team enough to any other future wedding couples!

Hiring Dance Masters Entertainment to DJ at my wedding was one of the best decisions that I could have made! Both Sue (MC) and Don (DJ) were impressively energetic and joyful throu...
ghout the entire night and displayed the perfect balance between being professionals and life of the party (without overshadowing me and my husband). I received compliment after compliment from my bridal party and guests saying how much fun they were having because of them. Music has been a very important part of my life and therefore was also very important to me for my wedding. Prior to the wedding, Sue and Don worked closely with me to make sure that I got everything that I had envisioned. We had an initial call to establish a baseline idea of my vision for the wedding and then a call a few weeks beforehand to iron out the details. They utilized my playlists for my prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception selections down to the “T”. Before my ceremony, Don made sure to play the list of songs I had provided to him and Sue checked in with both me and my day of coordinator to make sure that we knew that she was there for more than just MC duties. They also worked closely with my officiant to ensure that he was comfortable with his mic and with everything he needed to do during the ceremony including getting out of the shot of our first kiss. Post ceremony and cocktail hour photos, Sue came back to my dressing room to assist my maid of honor and bridesmaid with my 11-tie dress bustle. She also made sure that my fiancé and I got a minute to breathe and eat some food before the reception started. During cocktail hour, Don played upbeat and fun hits from my requested era of music. For my reception, Sue assisted my day of coordinator with rounding up my bridal party and getting us all in line to be announced out. She was clear with directions on where to go and what to do and made adjustments on the fly when we requested a change in the lineup. She was energetic and got everyone pumped for the reception. From there, she was regularly checking in with me to make sure that we had everything we needed from drinks to a fan when I got overheated. She was on the dance floor keeping the party going while Don played all the hits requested. They had excellent props and an attendant that helped everyone navigate through the Photo Booth process. They printed multiple copies of the photos and created an album with the printouts and any messages that the guests wanted to leave. They will also be sending us a dropbox with all the images. It was wonderful to look through that with my husband today. I knew Sue and Don prior to hiring them for my wedding. They had DJ’ed at my elementary school’s end of the year festival every year that I was there. Back then they were energetic and fun even for kids. Don played fun and upbeat kid appropriate music while Sue MC’ed and both taught us how to do line dances and danced with us in general. They helped create very happy fond memories of my childhood. I cannot recommend them enough. If you want to have a fun wedding, you need to hire them! They are worth many more stars than I can give on this review. Thank you, Sue and Don for making my special day so magical. It was everything I could’ve dreamed of!

Our wedding reception was in great hands with Derek as our DJ! He handled our unique music picks with an expert hand (Godzilla etc...) Guests were on the dance floor all night and ...
had tons of compliments on his selections and transitions. He even did special research for our Shoe game questions (DnD etc.) Everything ran smoothly and on-time with the little things taken care of and if he had a question, we got on the same page quickly. He knew our venue and coordinated with the other vendors with ease. Thanks to him and the whole team!

Don and Sue went above and beyond for my wedding. They aren’t only a DJ. The services they provided me and my guests were SUPERB. Sue hyped me up and assisted me with my nerves and...
showing me exactly what to do and when. She even fixed my dress multiple times because my bustle broke! She even helped put my bustle up. They were able to make changes to the music or extend or shorted special dances. Don was fantastic with “checking” in with me (the bride) during the music time and all I had to do with give them a nod or a look to keep or change the music. Sue was fantastic on the mic for wedding party reception entrances. She was so hands-on with the dance floor to keep the party going! I wonder recommend them 10000x times to everyone!!!!

Don and Sue were incredible at our wedding (11/30/24). Seriously, I can't emphasize that enough. We had some very specific music requests.. well, not some, a LOT of specific music ...
requests (including niche and even "custom" songs).. and they still worked with us on everything. Some of it was even last minute, and they still put up with us.
But the real VIP was Sue, who took on the "day of coordinator" role as a perk of the package. We didn't think we needed a day of coordinator... now I can't imagine having done it without Sue! Holy cow, she was awesome. She was so friendly and warm but knew exactly how to run a wedding top to bottom. She didn't give me, the bride, even a second to stress about anything, she had ironed out the whole day! She emceed, directed, kept us on schedule, adjusted dresses and boutonnieres. No task too big or small.
Thank you Sue and Don for making our day so special! Would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
