I would not recommend hiring Doc Vincent Entertainment. Doc was the DJ for my wedding in Princeton, WV this past Saturday, and while I had been so excited to work with him after re...ading his glowing reviews and seeing his impressive experience, what we received was far from professional. From rehearsal to the end of the reception, he overpromised and underdelivered.
At the rehearsal, the microphone he provided for the officiant (my sister’s husband) died halfway through rehearsal, and he did not have spare batteries. Thankfully, we did and were able to keep things moving. He also did not assist with any direction or coordination of the wedding party, despite advertising this as part of his DJ and “event coordinator” service. I even paid for him to stay in a cabin the night before to ensure he would be fully prepared and on time for the wedding.
On the wedding day, Doc brought his son as an unapproved assistant and had him present for the entire evening. The ceremony and reception both included multiple mistakes that caused unnecessary stress. During the ceremony, he restarted the bridal party processional song about 30 seconds in, then left me standing and waiting for over a minute before finally playing my entrance song. It was disorganized, uncomfortable, and completely avoidable — especially after attending rehearsal.
At the reception, Doc mixed up the cocktail hour and dinner playlists, playing the wrong music for each portion of the evening. When it came time for the first dances, I personally told him five minutes beforehand that I wanted our first dance cut halfway through, but he played the entire song anyway. During the father-daughter dance, we had discussed cutting the song at a specific point because my dad and I didn’t like the ending, but Doc let it play about 30–45 seconds longer than planned. He also told me he would make sure I had champagne ready for the toasts, but he never checked in, and everyone else had champagne except for us. Thankfully, the venue owner noticed and quickly brought us some so we could participate.
Once it was time for open dancing, the energy on the dance floor was inconsistent. He would have the floor full one moment, then play a slow song immediately after, completely killing the vibe. He also wasn’t smooth when transitioning between songs — instead of clean fades or mixes, he often played the next song while the current one was still going, making the music sound jumbled with two tracks overlapping. It felt uncoordinated and disrupted the flow of the night.
For someone who claims to have done over 3,000 weddings and to be a Hall of Fame vendor on The Knot and WeddingWire, these mistakes and lack of professionalism are unacceptable — especially after attending rehearsal and being paid for overnight accommodations.
Overall, our experience with Doc Vincent Entertainment was disappointing, stressful, and far below what was promised. What should have been seamless and joyful became a series of preventable mistakes. I cannot recommend his services and hope this feedback helps other couples make an informed decision.
