Where to begin when it comes to Dance Master's...first off, they DO IT ALL. DJ and MC extraordinaire, Photobooth, and Sue even taught us a KILLER first dance to a mash-up of THREE songs across multiple music genres and she absolutely NAILED it!...
! They were instrumental in helping us pick our songs for both our ceremony and reception music through using their on-line planning tool and a pre-wedding planning meeting. Sue also helped coordinate with our venue on the timeline of the day to make sure everything ran smoothly, as well as let everyone know who walked into the ceremony and reception in what order, and let us know when it was time to cut the cake, toss the garter and bouquet, etc. She even coordinated with our photographer during key moments to make sure we got the perfect shots. Sue also brought us small plates of appetizers and drinks when we were doing family photos during the cocktail hour to make sure we didn't miss out and that we had what we needed. DJ Don was playing all the best songs and had the dance floor full ALL NIGHT LONG! My mom mentioned a song during her speech that we used to listen to and Don queued it right up and it made her so happy. He even played my dad's favorite song at least twice and mixed everything in, so that is flowed perfectly. Sue as the MC kept the crowd's energy up and helped to organize a conga line and a dance circle to bring everyone together. I was dancing so hard to DJ Don's beats that I broke my dress strap and Sue literally SAVED THE DAY with the safety pins she had tucked under her belt she was wearing! The photobooth was an absolute BLAST and there was a constant flow of people in it all night long. As everyone took pictures, they gave 1 strip to that person and 1 strip went into an album that everyone signed by their picture, and at the end of the night we received a really nice photobook with all of the photobooth strips and everyone's notes. It is something we will cherish forever and enjoy looking back at. We even received digital copies of all the photobooth strips as well. I cannot say enough about Dance Master's and the quality of service they provide. People are still raving about how our wedding was the best wedding ever and I know that is all thanks to Sue and Don!

WOW, thank you Tammy and Keith ,you guys were so much fun to teach. I had a blast. Both of you did a GREAT job on your dance. Thank you for this great review. Keep in touch with us! Congrats to you both!!
My poor experience with DME is detailed below:
1. I paid about $150 for DME to play music for 30 minutes at my ceremony. I picked out the exact songs I wanted played. Songs went from fast-paced and upbeat to slower-paced/romantic. I was surpr...
ised to hear the fast-paced songs playing moments before the bridesmaid processional began. I called my wedding planner (WP) about this afterwards and learned that DME upon arrival had set up speakers + DJ equipment directly behind a row of guests (loud much?) and would have been in every shot of the processional. My WP instructed Don and Sue to move their equipment to another location. They told my WP there were no outlets, they couldn’t. My WP showed them all of the other outlets that were not in jeopardy of ruining wedding photos. They rolled their eyes, made rude comments, + suggested that the planned + practiced bridal processional be re-routed to accommodate them. After the fuss, they did end up moving their equipment. DME should have known to set up their equipment in a less invasive location and should have played songs farther down the list when they restarted. They blew it and I somehow paid extra for it.
2. On to the reception. We had a bluegrass band for the first 1/2 of the wedding and DME for the 2nd 1/2. When DME started, it wasn’t long before Sue was in the middle of the dance floor singing loudly and instructing the guests on dance moves. If you are going to take the liberty to do this at someone’s wedding, YOU NEED TO ASK IN ADVANCE. It was extremely embarrassing, and as soon as I saw it occur I asked my WP to tell her to stop. In speaking to my WP before the wedding, I was told that this may be their “DJ style” so she had already told Sue and Don to NOT DO THIS before the reception. Wouldn’t you know that my WP had to go tell her to stop, again, because she CHOSE TO DO IT ANYWAY. I’m still getting comments from wedding guests and vendors about how weird and uncomfortable it was seeing Sue singing like she was a celebrity guest at my wedding. I cringe. After my WP told Sue to stop again, she heatedly marched over to me and interrupted a convo to once again clarify that I did not want her wailing away and instructing people to dance at my wedding. I was mortified that she interrupted my conversation, and did it in such a heated way. For the rest of the evening she sulked on a chair in the corner behind her husband, and when the wedding was over they both continued on about how rude it was that I did not want them to dance and sing at my wedding. My photographer got an earful about it from them, and in turn tried to share with them that their approach was rude + uncomfortable.
3. After the wedding I found a bag that had several custom dog treat bag favors. Some vendors left at the venue were blown away by the audacity of them to take these favors, I was told that vendors are NEVER to take wedding favors unless they are offered. You could tell they were trying to hide them, bc they were at the bottom of a full bag. I appreciate their <3 for dogs, but this hit me the wrong way.
4. When I got my wedding video + pics, Sue was standing in the back of the pics/vids of my dad walking me down the aisle. I called my WP and she was furious bc she told DME to avoid interfering. DME did not care about being in my pics/vids.
If you want a vendor that will customize your wedding day to themselves, + complain/cause a scene otherwise, pick this company.
Response from the Vendor on 02/02/2023
Hello Heather: Thank you for your review and we certainly apologize for your disappointment however, I am surprised it took months for you to leave this review. I would think you’d want to get this off your chest. However, we feel we were at a ...
different wedding than what you described.
We’ll start with the set up for the ceremony, we arrived early and was unable to connect with the wedding planner so, we decided to set up where we did due to electrical outlet proximity and safety to not have to run wires across where guests were walking to get to their seats. We certainly thought we were out of the way and when asked by wedding planner to move, we moved and in doing so we had to run the wires across the pathway of guests. We waited for word regarding the start of the ceremony so, the playlist provided was looped several times. Waiting on the arrival of the bridal party took a while. We were left in an unheated location. When we finally restarted the playlist, we were told you were coming “any moment” however, it was about 20 minutes so, unfortunately, we did not have the right songs queued. Being flexible we often suggest to our clients to use MC Sue to work with Bridal Party or planners and coordinators so, the DJ/MC are in the loop of the sequence of events for both ceremonies Sue she was in the shot, or she would have moved, gladly. Maybe the photographer who is dealing with live time scenarios did not realize the walkway shot had Sue in it but, the actual aisle was clear. Photographer could have moved locations if they knew your request.
Hearing about your disappointment of the ceremony from the review truly surprised us. We were happy that you were pleased with the up- lighting and the look of the room. We could tell from your facial expressions and comments we overheard. We certainly did not know how upset you were from that initial room first look.
We had challenges with the set up of the blue grass band with again electrical outlet proximity and they set up right in front of the DJ booth and we had to make sure our equipment was turned off to supply power to the blue grass band. There seemed to be only two outlets one on either side of the room. Older facilities often have this challenge and are not considered the amount of electricity needed for band or DJ.
One of your guests asked MC Sue about the dance steps for the song “Thriller” by Michael Jackson and being a professional dancer MC Sue showed your guests the moves on the side and then others were behind them even more of your guests wanted to learn the moves which is when they wanted Sue to come to the floor. The guests seemed to be having fun and learning the dance. We are sorry that you thought Sue just started to perform. This was guest driven and Sue gladly accommodated the request. MC Sue said she came to ask about some other guest requests being made to DJ Don and we wanted to make sure it was ok to follow through. Again, we are a very flexible entertainment company, and we can adapt to any situation. We can only assume that you wanted to have the DJ be more “background music” than having guests pumped up and dancing. They certainly seemed to be enjoying the music provided. We certainly had the dance floor full and saw many smiles including yourself. When looking at our Facebook page for your date/reception the photos look like guests were having fun. We were sorry you were embarrassed as your guests were asking Sue to come out on the floor and be active with them. Did you really want your guests to not have a good time?
You stated that MC Sue acted less than professional and was sulking ? She was huddled down behind DJ Don because we were freezing. Not having heat in the facility in October was hard and moving around/dancing certainly helped keep everyone warm!
Working with many vendors throughout our career we never initiate a conversation about the client. However, we did talk about how chilly it was. We all network and share common experiences. I do not recall the Photographer stating we were rude and made people uncomfortable. Again, we thought your guests enjoyed the evening and told us we did a great job. We passed out many business cards that evening as well.
Regarding the dog treat bags, they were given to us by the caterer, and I put them in a bag that had other props normally passed out during receptions. They were not hidden they were just left behind by accident. They were not stolen! That was an unfair assessment.
The comment about “its their world, we’re just living in it”, suggests that we do not take the clients into account. That is false! We have been in the business for many years and are proud of our 400+ positive reviews. We are disappointed you did not have a good experience. We would have loved the opportunity to speak to you personally about this. Social media posts/reviews become less personal when you can just type something instead of speaking to each other. Text can be taken out of context and that is how we fell about your review. We worked with your wedding planner and explained to your guests that you didn’t want us to be out on the dance floor they way they wanted her to. I think the expectation of what your guests were requesting vs what you wanted could have been squashed by the wedding planner, after all it is YOUR day!
We wish you all the best and we have taken your comments to our team and will continue to learn from them as we confirm with clients, we will ask what they are “actually” looking for in a DJ. DME can be background music or full entertainment DJ that’s how versatile our company is. We can do ceremonies, photobooths, receptions we have the capability to do it all. Again, we are sorry we did not meet your needs.
All the best,
Don and Sue Fowler
DJ Derek was absolutely amazing! He ensured the reception went smoothly and kept the party going. I appreciated his double and triple checking of name pronunciations. Thank you again Dance Masters Entertainment!

ve great music and a fun atmosphere. DJ Samy was our DJ and leading up to the wedding, he reached out to my husband and I to discuss our likes and dislikes. He even sent us numerous songs for us to approve or decline. DJ Samy understood the vibe we wanted and created a party! Our guests had a blast and spent the entire evening on the dance floor. If we had to replan our wedding, Dance Masters Entertainment would without a doubt be the DJ we would book. Thank you for making sure our wedding was the best night of our lives!

nt and set up. It was truly magical and clearly a highlight for my guests as well as I got photos and videos from multiple angles, not to mention the professional video edit we received of just the first dance. He caught some excellent moments on camera between me and my husband and I have some amazing candid moments while my photographer and videographer were setting up for our grand entrance . Derek made an excellent playlist and had my friends, my parents and my husbands parents all dancing together, another moment caught on camera I can go back and enjoy later.
I had the dream team of vendors for my wedding. Nothing went wrong, we stayed on time, and the whole day was absolutely wonderful. I feel so lucky to have the teams of vendors that I had because every single person we hired went above and beyond to make sure our day was magical.
Thank you so much Derek and Jen for everything you did for us. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn't have done it without you guys.

Sue guided me through the whole wedding night, Helping me with anything I needed. Don the greatest DJ I’ve ever known ( I mean it ) kept my guest dancing all night, he could just read the crowd and redirected music to get them going again. I could not forget phoebe our photo booth operator! She was so awesome! Super sweet, Helping the guest with the photo booth ( counting down, props, fixing our picture book, etc. ) and just having a great time while she did it. They had such a big impact for our special day and I’m forever grateful for each and everyone of them they have earned a spot in our family forever. I highly recommend using Dance Masters Entertainment for anything. If I need anything in the future I will not be using anyone but them. Don, Sue and Phoebe and anyone behind the scenes…Thank you for everything!!!

We can’t say enough good about Derek. He was so responsive, professional, and helped ease nerves. He used a great, easy to use online planner for the event and portal for song requests, divided into “must play” “can play” and “don’t play” which...
we loved. We had an extensive planning meeting before our event, where we went over our song requests, order of events, and even name pronunciations! Derek was incredibly respectful and truly felt like a family member with how much he put into making our day special. On our wedding day, he arrived early, had a separate ceremony and reception set up, and even practically acted like another coordinator, checking on us, asking us if we needed anything, grabbed us our champagne, and reminding guests of the order of events and what would happen after after the reception. Coming from a Polish family, it was also wonderful that Derek knew all the Polish traditions and had music prepared. He made our day so much more special, and we cannot recommend him enough. We had numerous friends and family members say he was the best DJ they’ve ever seen at a wedding. His gear, expertise, attention to detail and kindness made our day go perfectly. Thanks so much, Derek!

We saw what a great job Sue and don did at my sister in laws wedding so we knew we had to have them for ours. As DJs they far exceeded our expectations and really kept our guests engaged. They 100% kept the party going until the very end. In ad...
dition to fulfilling all of the duties on their contract above and beyond our level of expectations, here are the things they did that were crucially important to our day running seamlessly: 1. during our ceremony Sue saw a sign about blowing bubbles for the new Mr & mrs but realized no bubbles were out on the table. So she ran around and found the box of bubble wands & quietly handed them out to the guests (during the vows we almost didn’t have bubbles for our ceremony exit!) 2. Our toddler flower girl got nervous & didn’t want to walk down the aisle, & Sue jumped in & coached her down the aisle while showing her how to throw the petals until our 3 year old was comfortable enough to finish on her own. 3. They threw together a complete wedding playlist several days before our wedding even though we were supposed to have sent them weeks before (we have 4 kids and work crazy hours & it was hard to get everything together, but Sue and don were incredibly patient with us & helped make our dreams a reality anyways). 4. Sue was the first person to bring my husband and I a snack & a drink from cocktail hour while we were taking portraits. 5. They were instrumental in keeping us on schedule or making up time after starting the ceremony 30+ min late 6. Sue realized the sand ceremony wasn’t set up during the ceremony so while we took our portraits she had set it up herself at the bride and groom table so we could still do it. 7. Regardless of all of the amazing things that they did as our DJs, they were just wonderful people in general. They were incredibly kind, patient, genuine & fun! They now have an open invitation to any family event we have. So much fun to be around them and they just exude warmth and love. I cannot say enough good things about them specifically as human beings. Like not only are they hands down the best DJs in the world, they’re also the most wonderful people.
I can assure you that hiring them will be the best thing you can do to ensure a flawlessly executed and fun wedding. Love love love Sue and don!

sy with other things in the lead up to our wedding. For the price we paid, we truly got a great deal. Sue and Don were very accommodative to us as we modified what we wanted. As the wedding got closer, we were glad we got the chance to meet virtually with our DJ, Derek. He was very friendly and helpful and made sure we were set for the big day. At the reception itself, he did a great job of keeping the party going. The music was good, it wasn't too loud or too quiet, and the extra lights really added to the night in a great way. Throughout the night, Derek made sure we were having a great time and made sure things went along smoothly as we went through the cocktail hour, introductions, dinner, and dancing.

CONGRATULATION Jesse and Megan ! Thank you so much for the GREAT review for Dance Masters, and DJ Derek! We truly enjoyed working with you to create such a PERFECT Day! Keep in touch with us on Face book.
Dance Masters Entertainment did an EXCELLENT job at our recent wedding reception at Turf Valley Resort. From the lighting to the music to the hype and energy level - everything went above and beyond our expectations.
They have a very organized...
process - 2-3 months prior to the wedding, they will reach out with an online planner, where you can submit your reception details (wedding party, dances, toasts, etc.) and your music preferences (genres, specific songs, must-plays, do-not-plays, etc.). Then 1 month prior to the wedding, they schedule a video call to discuss everything in more detail and get to know the DJ better.
Our DJ - Derek Heckler - did an outstanding job. He worked in all of our preferences during cocktail hour, dinner, and the dancing session. He also “read the room” very well and made several ad-hoc selections in the moment. And, while we had our own emcees (family members), Derek made sure they were comfortable and still chimed in with important announcements and hyping up the crowd. On top of that, Derek went out of his way to check in on us (the bride & groom) throughout the evening, including offering to get us drinks. Overall, Derek is very nice and personable, and that went a long way for us.
The lighting and visuals were also excellent - we added some uplighting, a custom monogram, and some light wands, all of which added to the atmosphere and created some extra fun for our guests.
It’s clear to us how experienced Derek is and that Dance Masters Entertainment is a great company to work with. We’d HIGHLY recommend their services for anyone hosting a wedding.

Congratulations to you both! Gigi, Thank you so much for this great review for DJ Derek. We truly enjoyed working with you both to create such a PERFECT Day! Please keep in touch with us on Face book.
Dance Masters live up to there name! Sue and Don where AMAZING! Being a former DJ myself I was a bit worried but with Don on the music he KILLED it! I gave him very little directions for the music and gave him complete freedom to read the room...
to make the music selections and so glad I did. He had the dance floor packed the whole night. Now Sue is an absolute amazing MC and Coordinator. She has a very powerful voice that is amazing! She kept the timelines going with a skipping a beat and she made sure me and my lovely wife where always taken care of and 1st priority. They are both absolute professional’s and where worth every penny! My guest are still raving about the music! 5 stars isn’t enough for them the are a 10 star show! Thank you all every much!

THANK YOU so much for this wonderful review. We truly enjoyed working with you all to create such a PERFECT day. Congrats to everyone and please keep in touch with us on fb.
Dance masters deejayed a few of our family members’ weddings over the years, so we were very excited to book them for our wedding! Don and Sue were responsive through email and always answered our questions. They were very thoughtful and kind w...
hen helping us build our schedule for the evening. You can tell they are passionate about making weddings special and memorable😊
DJ Mike was OUTSTANDING! He went above and beyond to make our night memorable. It meant so much to us that he took time out of his busy schedule to meet with us and coordinate all the special details. Our guests loved the shoe game questions and last songs! He interacted with the crowd and kept things running smoothly. His positive energy made the night so much fun. We are so happy we booked Dance Masters for our wedding and will surely recommend you to family and friends!!
DON and SUE were AWESOME!! The energy they bring to your wedding is AMAZING. We met them at at wedding convention and we hit it off immediately. Sue has such a warming personality and is very upbeat which is what you look for in a DJ. You don't...
want someone who won't dance with you. Don and Sue outdid our expectations of a DJ and you will not regret having them at your wedding. They kept everything running smoothly at the reception and Sue kept coming up to check on my and my husband to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. I really loved having them there for our day.
Stop looking for a DJ and book Don and Sue now! They are the best at what they do. Don and Sue were the dj and mc at my sisters wedding and when I announced my engagement, all of our relatives asked if Don and Sue would be at our wedding. The m...
usic made the night and they know how to get the crowd dancing. At one point there was a beautiful sunset so many people went outside. Sue danced on her own on the dance floor to entice people to come back. She also pulled a clothespin out of her belt to bustle my dress when it kept getting in the way while dancing. Sue kept the schedule and timeline going all night. Don played all of my acoustic ceremony music perfectly and chose great dancing songs. Since our wedding, multiple guests have commented on how much they loved Don and Sue. We loved them too and appreciated everything they did for us!
Derek was AMAZING!!!! Very friendly and truly wanted to make sure we were happy from the start. We are still getting compliments from our guests. He had everyone dancing all night long! Loved his personality and energy. Thank you Derek for bein...

I would not recommend Dance masters entertainment to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding.
-They are horrible with communication! Their emails are unprofessional-each one was riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, from the beginning...
. They also send numerous automated emails (also riddled with errors) that are sent regardless of previous communication, causing for more confusion. For example, they asked several times in automated emails for the song list, even though it had already been submitted. Lastly, they would ask for information over email, which we would promptly provide, then weeks later they would ask for the same information. They emailed my mother 3-4 times for the same information, then did the same with us! I would end up forwarding them the same email that I had already on multiple occasions, just because I was tired of repeating myself.
-They lacked the social awareness and adaptability to move with the flow of the weddding. At one point, Sue announced that the food stations were open, even though she was standing right next to one and it was clearly not open. When I confronted her about it, she pointed to the timeline and said that this is the timeline that she was provided-true, Sue, this was the timeline, however I would expect an MC to be able to flex with the ebbs and flows of a wedding and be aware enough to realize sometimes things are just a few minutes off.
-The PhotoBooth pictures come with a white bride and groom cartoon at the bottom of it-totally not a big deal if you’re a white, heterosexual couple……..
-Their forms are outdated-all of the forms we filled out for them had “bride” and “groom”. When I confronted them about it (because it seemed up until the final phone call they believed that this was a wedding between a man and a woman) they responded with apologies that their forms were outdated. Of all the vendors we worked with, they are the only ones who have not updated their forms to language acceptable for gay couples. If you manage your own company, why not put in the minimal effort it takes to update your forms?
-The worst thing that they did was announce us as the “bride and groom” not once, but twice during our reception. This came just a few hours after our vows mentioned the weariness of coming out as gay-only to be embarrassed by our MC, who we paid good money to work the event. It was so disrespectful and not once was there any apology for doing so from Sue or Don.
Overall, I would not recommend them to anyone, especially an LGBTQ couple

Sue and Don did an amazing job at our wedding on 7/9/22! They were wonderful to work with, went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly, and really kept the party going! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
Sue and Don were both extremely responsive, organized, and easy to work with. They were also flexible and modified the proposal to fit my event. My DJ was Derek. He’s also extremely professional and experienced, gave us excellent suggestions on...

A contagiously fun duo that acts within your requests autonomously. Really the bottom line here is will your guests have fun and talk about your event when its over. If you are looking beyond knowing your DJ will show up and come prepared, go w...
ith Dance Masters. We had Don and Sue as our DJ/MC. I will admit we started early and felt like there was nothing left to do as the date approached which was exactly what we wanted. We had everything organized in the system they provided and felt absolutely comfortable knowing they knew our schedule, they were excited to work with our officiant for ceremony music, they knew our announcements and were happy to work to our schedule/flow even though it was unique. What we didn't know was the efforts they would go to above and beyond to get people out of their seats and having a good time. Dances were taught, the whole hotel heard our guests singing along and it seemed like our DJ's were having as much fun or more than our guests which isn't something you set out for in a DJ but you certainly don't want a grumpy DJ. Feel free and encouraged to let them pick some music and have some time to improv, they will stick to a strict schedule if that is your thing (its usually mine) but we let them have some time to deviate and pick music that only experience could have lead them to the perfect hits to get our guests up and out of their seats and conversations.
We cannot thank Don & Sue enough for the music, energy and vibes they brought to our wedding. EVERYONE has been talking about how awesome they were!! They far exceeded our expectations and were a HUGE element in making our day perfect. They are...
organized, responsive and they nailed down every detail that was discussed before the wedding. We could not be happier with Don and Sue and we wish them all the best.
Don and Sue helped us to create such an amazing wedding experience for ourselves and our guests at our wedding. We weren't surprised, considering the photos and reviews of other weddings they had done in the past, but we can't express enough ho...
w much we appreciated their expertise, excitement, and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure that our day went smoothly.
I talked to a good friend of mine the following day, and he mentioned that Don really knew the songs that the crowd wanted to hear, especially as the night went on. I can appreciate how it takes a lot of thought to cater each song towards what will keep the party going. Our guests had a blast with all of the photo booth options and the ease of use, thanks to Michelle. My family has also said that Sue made every announcement feel very special, and a lot of the most important moments would've been far more difficult to pull off without her.
Working with Dance Masters was a great experience. They were professional, thorough, and concise during the planning, and DJ Tim made sure everybody was having a great time the day of!

Very professional and so nice! Derek was beyond amazing!
Dance Masters Entertainment were wonderful. Don & Sue were so great about answering any questions and finding the best package to meet our needs. Derek was a great DJ. He met with us before the wedding to understand our goals and planned flow. ...
On the day of the wedding, Derek arrived when expected and was set up well before the wedding. During the event, he fixed multiple issues not related to his job role, which helped make our day that much more special. Derek kept checking in on us, making sure we got some food as well as making sure we were having a good time. His wife, Jen, ran the photobooth for the event. We had so many guests compliment how wonderful she was & how fun she made the photobooth! Words do not describe how thankful we are for Dance Masters; our day would not have been so amazing without Derek and Jen. We highly recommend Dance Masters Entertainment.

in, he setup for the ceremony outside and Mother Nature had a different plan so he quickly switched gears and setup inside.
While our family can dance! Tim jumped in the crowd and danced! We loved the extra entertainment! He was quick with reading the crowd and played the right music to keep the party going.
Hands down Tim is the best! If we ever need a DJ again we know who we are going to call!

We were so fortunate to have Don and Sue for our wedding on 4/3/2022. To call them just DJs would be a huge understatement! They were our DJ, MC, photo booth managers, and so much more!
The planning process was so smooth. They went above and b...
eyond to make sure our love of Disney was incorporated into the music for our big day. They were even able to play a snippet of Disney magic that is not considered a song for the dance with my father and the last song of the night.
Sue was definitely our fairy godmother, making sure we were where we were supposed to be, making sure we got drinks, helping bustle my dress, getting the dance party started, and making sure all of the reception activities we wanted happened. It was such a huge burden to take off our shoulders and our bridal party so we could just enjoy ourselves and celebrate with our loved ones. Thank you so much Don and Sue! You both are amazing!

ing dance and jazz music playing at our cocktail hour, so I ended up sending Don a list of songs that weren’t in their online system - he was able to play everything we wanted and during the reception he did a great job transitioning between modern music and swing dance songs to keep everyone dancing. Don and Sue are professional as well as fun. They had a mic for our officiant and family speeches, and were prepared to have music playing both inside and outside the venue (although our entire event ended up being moved indoors due to weather). The sound quality was great and the volume and transitions were perfect. Sue is a great MC and used her experience to help us keep the day running smoothly. We loved working with them and would highly recommend them to anyone else!

months before we had to re-plan the whole thing (Thank you CVD) well as stressful as that was, connecting with Sue and Don was a GODSEND!!! These two were amazing right out of the gate, unbelievably great communication and helping us to answer questions we didn't even know we had! From our first call my stress started to subside. We had a brunch style wedding to still accommodate those who planned travel and planned to still cruise with us despite the wedding now being on land. Sue and Don had people dancing and with mics in hand singing at noon! Now that is talent! Our guests have continued to rave about how wonderful they were and how much fun they helped make our wedding, and honestly we couldn't agree more! We were so so lucky to find these two! Book them!!! I promise you will not regret it!! Thank you both so much! We LOVED you!!!!

DANCE LESSON REVIEW: We came to Sue in a panic, worried about looking like two middle schoolers slow dancing for our first dance at our wedding. Sue spoke with us on the phone while we were in the scheduling process, and her other great reviews...
, as well as reassuring words started to make our first dance seem doable. Sue was communicative and flexible which made scheduling with her very easy. Sue took our first dance song, typed out the lyrics, and choreographed a whole dance in sync with the lyrics and gave us a packet to review and study for our dance, along with a CD of our song. Our first lesson, we felt a little clumsy and embarrassed, but by our second lesson, we felt pretty confident. We practiced at home, and by week three, we knew we had our dance down, and that Sue’s lessons had worked! Neither of us had any background in dance, and Sue took us from two pretty uncoordinated people to two people floating to the music on our wedding day. Sue is so sweet and encouraging and was such a huge help in making our big day a success. My only regret was not having Sue as our DJ- I found her dance service after I booked another DJ. I would not hesitate to book Sue for any service she offers and will gladly recommend!

We worked with Dance Masters for our November wedding, with Don as our DJ and Sue as our MC. We could not have been happier with how the evening went! It was wonderful to have Sue helping out the venue staff to keep things organized and flow...
ing, and she made sure we stayed relaxed and "in our moment" throughout the whole night. Don did a wonderful job with the music selection, and he had people out on the dance floor all night long!
We are a diverse couple, with myself from the US and my husband from west Africa. As such, we really wanted a very wide variety of music that ranged from American oldies, to country, to pop, to current afrobeats. Don was up to this challenge and was very open to conversation and suggestion about what we wanted and needed from our DJ.
Finally, as a COVID couple, I cannot say enough about how wonderful Don and Sue were when we had to reschedule our big day twice! They were responsive and moved our contracts without question. I would definitely recommend Dance Masters to other brides, without question!

OMG!!
Our original DJ backed out at the last minute, and Sue and Don swept in to literally save our wedding day!! We had about a week until the wedding when we found Dance Masters Entertainment. Sue was fantastic!! She kept the evening running...
smoothly, made sure my new husband and I didn't have to think about anything but having an awesome time at our reception. Think DJs just stand up there and play music?? NOPE!! There's so much more to it than that. From the moment we arrived, we were in fabulous hands! Sue organized our entrance for introductions, got the guests in a party/ dancing mood, helped me with my bustle on my dress when it was stepped on and a button was lost, helped me remove my veil without messing up my hair... she was on top of everything! My Dad was ill and needed to leave before the reception (he's fine now, thank goodness!), and Sue made sure that there was NOTHING to cause any stress during the evening. Don knows exactly what music to play to keep your guests dancing and enjoying their evening! Don and Sue are a fantastic team that truly enjoy what they do, and are experts at it!! If you're looking for an expert team that will be there for everything you need in a DJ team, and are both on top of everything schedule- wise, but also flexible when it comes to unexpected issues handled with the utmost professionalism and smiles, then congratulations! Your search is over!! You've found the best in Don and Sue and Dance Masters Entertainment!!! 10 out of 5 stars!!
Thank you, Don and Sue for stepping in at the last minute and giving us the fantastic celebration we were dreaming of!!!

eryone in check. Sue made sure everyone knew when they were walking down the isle and when. They made everything flow so well and made everything stress free. After the ceremony Sue went to pin up my train but the piece that holds it together was missing so Sue pinned it up with safety pins that she had with her. She made sure I was good all night. She even made sure I didn’t run out of water or alcohol. She let me know when it was time for speeches, cake cutting , garter toss, bouquet toss. She made sure I was prepared for everything and knew what to say and when. They had everyone on the dance floor all night long. There was never one moment that the dance floor was empty. They were so much fun and had so much energy! Sue would dance with us and started a dancing train and everyone joined in. They took photos all day and posted them all to Facebook so you can see/have them. Everyone kept raving on how awesome they were. Gosh there is so much I could go on forever. I could not have found a better DJ. If you are looking for a DJ your search is over. Sue & Don are the best!!!

We also bought the photobooth package and his wife, Jennifer, ran the booth which kept people highly entertained all night. We're still going through all the digital/printed copies we got and they're hilarious!
Highly recommend DJ Derek with Dance Masters!

We had Derek as our DJ, along with doing dance lessons (choregraphed first dance!) with Sue. I can't say enough amazing things about them. Sue was so nice, took us at our pace and made the experience truly special. We've gotten never-ending com...
plements about our dance, and I wish I had gotten more time just to hang out with Sue! We super procrastinated the timeline and music, but Derek took it in stride and worked with our weird requests extremely well. The day of - Derek kept us on time and went above & beyond to avoid awkward moments with unplanned speeches from extended family we didn't want haha! I loved all the music played - we saw most of the guests dancing at some point or other which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks so much for helping with our special day - I will always recommend your company to any family or friends from now on!

Dance Masters was absolutely amazing! We used their DJ services as well as a photo booth and dance choreography and lessons. Derek was our DJ and did a fabulous job. He was our DJ, MC and even made sure we got drinks and food when necessary. Hi...
s wife ran the Photo booth and our guests loved that. They even made sure we had copies of all of the photos take. We had Sue choreograph our first dance and she taught us (non-dancers) in just 3 lessons how to do the dance. We got so many compliments on our dance and people couldn't believe we had only just started dancing a few months earlier. Absolutely would use and recommend them to anyone.

Don and Sue are amazing! Our oldest daughter got married 2 years ago and I was lucky enough to find them. When our youngest daughter got engaged they were the first people I contacted. Sue is amazing and I don't know how we would have survived ...
without her. She keeps everyone and everything on track and moving. For the wedding she keeps the line up and the timing straight for when everyone should start walking, she watches the timing for the whole evening to make sure everything stays on track, and she keeps things fun. She helps so much I can't even describe it. Don is equally as amazing and keeps the music going and the timing perfect for everything. Even the catering staff commented on how amazing they were, and told me that they see a lot of weddings but never one to run so smoothly because of how awsome the DJ and MC were. Thank you Don & Sue for another amazing wedding!

We found Dance Masters Entertainment here on the knot and were very pleased with how the whole process and the big day went. We received emails throughout the planning process with tips and steps. We were able to fill out our "must play," "play...
if time," and "do not play" playlists at our leisure along with songs for our ceremony and reception events. We spoke with Mike the week of to review everything. He set-up very early and was ready-to-go while we were running around taking pictures. We had a seamless outdoor ceremony and inside reception. Mike was very professional and adapted to fit the exact vibe and energy we were looking for.

If you’re looking for an amazing DJ, MC, and photobooth, look no further than Dance Masters Entertainment! Don and Sue were recommended by several friends and family members and they did not disappoint. They are both so personable, friendly, he...
lpful- and know how to keep a party going. It was apparent they have been doing this a long time, and they are wonderful at what they do. We were originally supposed to get married in 2020, but covid.. and when I reached out they were able to reschedule to our new 2021 date with no extra cost or any issue. We had several custom song requests and Don did a great job with getting them together and ensuring they were played at the right times. We also told Don and Sue we wanted a less traditional rock n roll wedding (not a bunch of dance music/country music) and Don nailed it! We had a delayed ceremony start thanks to Mother Nature, but Sue kept us on track with our modified timeline, kept the night flowing, and kept the guests engaged- and helped me feel calm when I was stressing about the weather and moving the ceremony indoors. Vivian was great at the photobooth- the photobooth had great lighting and there were so many fun props for everyone to use. I highly recommend getting the photobooth add on- its so nice to look back at our guestbook and see pics of everyone having fun. Not a bad thing to say about Dance Masters, and I’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation ☺️

Angie and Jerry what a great review. Thank you so much for this. We truly enjoyed working with you both. What a great day we had. Congrats to you both and keep in touch with us on FB.
We highly recommend Dance Masters for your DJ needs. When looking for entertainment, there are so many options out there. It can seem overwhelming because everyone has unique tastes and there is a degree of not knowing what to expect. Our exper...
ience with Dance Masters was overwhelmingly positive.
First, cost. We shopped around by comparing prices for DJs in the Baltimore area. At the time we were searching (… pre-pandemic 2019), Dance Masters came in at a significantly lower cost and offered various tiers or packages for our entertainment. I don’t want to throw the other companies under the bus, but Dance Masters was very reasonably priced for what we needed.
Second, pandemic flexibility. We postponed our celebration multiple times due to the pandemic. There was never any pushback or extra charges. They were understanding and flexible and our deposit and contract secured their services throughout the prolonged waiting period.
Finally, the DJ we were assigned. Derek Heckler was great to work work with. He was very organized and preplanned all the details with us (music, toasts, speeches, etc) in a spreadsheet and was prepared on our reception date. He was great during the reception and checked in with us regularly to make sure all the songs we wanted were being played. He kept the party going and everything on schedule without being overbearing. He helped put together a video toast from the best man (who lives in Europe and could not make it to the reception due to pandemic travel restrictions) which was one of the most memorable and emotional points in our day. He took some pictures and videos during the dancing part of the party as well to help us remember the day as well.
Overall, we only have just a few words of caution. First, the online platform Dance Masters uses is not great. A few times, our song choices were deleted and the process for saving was not good. We suggest keeping a Google Form or Excel Sheet and sharing that with them in case the platform they use gives you trouble. Second, save your emails and receipts with them. We did this and it came in handy because we sometimes asked to resubmit forms they forgot we had. These issues should by no means influence your choice. Just passing along what we learned.
Great work Dance Masters!

If you want the best wedding ever, you need Don and Sue!
Eight years ago my daughter got engaged. She was the first of her friends to get married and we had not been to a wedding in years. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Luckily, we met Don ...
and Sue at a wedding show and contracted with them for the wedding. They knew it all and handled it all! We felt like guests at the wedding and we had a ball! Don took care of the music and Sue took care of everything else, she did things I didn’t even know she did. Fast forward eight years and my other daughter got engaged. This time I knew… and what I knew was that we needed Don and Sue! They did not disappoint! Don keeps the music going and the guests dancing and Sue, well Sue just does it all! She got drinks for the bridal party, she helped bustle the bride’s dress, she made sure everyone was happy, she kept the night moving with the toasts, dances, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss. She led the guests in line dances. I am sure there are a million other things that she did that I don’t even know about that made the night a success. My daughter and her husband had the wedding of their dreams. Thank you Don and Sue!

As mother-of-the-groom, I felt confident that Sue would give me the support and direction I needed to perform my part in the ceremony and the reception. A side note: Kudos to Dance Masters' selection of music genres as it was just the right mix of tunes that covered all the age groups in attendance. You'll thank yourself forever for choosing this DJ service for your event!

e honed in on all the names of the bridal party and greeted them by name!! Referring to them throughout the night! She was darling with her announcements, perfectly engaging with guests and keeping everything flowing without effort noticed. She kept in mind the timeline and would make announcements ! She made sure to remind guests about signing the guest book to write special sentiments (something that will be cherished later by the bride and groom , that could of been easily forgotten to do). We felt like she an invited guest herself -part of the family! When it came to music and dancing , wow! She knew words to songs , encouraging in a fun way all to join in leading in dance moves and keeping the groove going, allowing guests to sing into the microphone at times! Her DJ was so delightful! He enjoyed the evening as well! Even great grandma on the brides side got to be front in center on the dance floor in her wheelchair with everyone dancing around her! No one left the dance floor till the very end of the night!! It was so special! I as the grooms mother’s twin sister was surprised to find out that she has hired and trains 11 other Dj’s! I can see why! She’s got all the right stuff to make your night memorable , engaging , fantastically fun from start to finish! We definitely are interested in hiring her for our next big event and you should too!!!

Don and Sue were the absolute best DJ and day-of coordinators/MC we could ask for. They helped us throw the most incredible reception and brought our ceremony to life with the music, mics and sound (all battery generated because our ceremony si...
te did not have electricity).
Don and Sue are the most professional and enthusiastic team you can get for your wedding day. They were open to our less-than-wedding-traditional style of music for dinner and kept things flowing, exciting and just perfect for the whole evening.
Sue acted as our day-of coordinator and MC for the day as well and she was the best. Making sure my husband and I were well fed, had drinks and just having a great time the whole night.
They also shared the stage with my Father's band and let them use their mics for their 30 minute set during our reception. It was great to have both a band and the DJ combination and we are so grateful they were excited about it too.
The week following our wedding, Don and Sue continued to make sure we were still living in our wedding day bliss. By sending us videos and photos they took and sharing them on their Facebook page for our friends and guests who could not attend in person - they really made everyone feel involved and happy.
Thank you Don and Sue! We are so grateful for you and for the work that you do.
