Entertainment Excellence

ing on the Chesapeake, and he has since stayed communicative, and also sent us promotions and deals we could take advantage of for add-ons such as uplighting, cold sparks, party lights, etc. Not only was Entertainment Excellence the best bang for our buck, but now that our wedding is over, we cannot stop talking about how incredible CJ was. He mixes songs incredibly well so that there's no mismatch in beats/rhythms - this was the biggest deal for me. There's been a lot of DJs I've encountered where they'll have clunky transitions, or they'll play the beginning parts of songs where there's no beat, which makes people leave the dance floor because of the 'downtime.' CJ made sure that did not happen! In the early stages of planning, he will send you a spreadsheet template that has everything he needs from you. I gave him Spotify playlists that I had compiled myself for cocktail hour, for dinner, and for the reception dancing. (Note: he does use non-explicit versions of songs, so if you happen to have explicit versions, he'll find the clean version for you, or do the mixing well enough that expletives are not heard!). I did not hire a wedding planner and did all the planning myself, and CJ was actually instrumental in helping me with the event flow. He made the effort to track me down to make sure my husband and I were ready for the next thing in the event before he announced them, from party entrances to special dances (e.g. father/daughter or mother/son dances) to speeches. Our wedding was 5:30pm-10pm, and though we only booked him for cocktail hour (6-7pm) and reception (7-10:30pm), he let us use his mics for the ceremony beforehand. His mics were high quality - NO feedback, static, or poor volume balance, which was critical during our vows and the speeches. Our cocktail hour was outdoors on a rooftop, and the reception was indoors, and he was able to set up for both areas for a seamless transition. The two vendors we could not stop raving about were our photographer/videographer and our DJ. They will make or break your wedding experience, in my opinion. Hire CJ & Entertainment Excellence for your DJ/emcee services! Everyone was impressed with how smoothly our wedding went, and although I'd like to take credit for having planned the wedding myself, I know that a lot of it had to do with CJ and his event pacing. I'm extremely happy with Entertainment Excellence and CJ's services.

ded expectations and multiple guests said he was great. Couldn’t recommend enough.

nd the music he curated made our guests stay on the dance floor! Our guests were genuinely enjoying the entertainment throughout the entire evening and complimented CJs choices, style, mixing and his approach of handling requests. CJ was there through the whole process and we totally trusted him and felt like he was right there with us to make it the best day ever! Thank you CJ, see you at our 25 year anniversary!

ommodate our unique music/ entertainment need, including a belly dancer and Balinese dancers for our multi- cultural wedding! Thank you so much CJ for making our wedding day so fun and memorable!!

amazing the dj was. I can’t recommend him enough. I had a lot of requests when it came to music and the little details, and he executed everything perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about the flow of the reception because he had it under control. If you’re considering booking him- do it!!

the most magical experience. Guests were raving about the music and the good vibes all night long. We cannot recommend Entertainment Excellence (especially DJ CJ) enough!

some of our older family members that couldn’t make it and he used his own phone to FaceTime them and make sure they could see not only the ceremony but also the toasts! He was professional, fun, and kept the party going by getting everyone on the dance floor! I truly couldn’t recommend CJ enough to anyone looking in the area for a DJ.

dule, he was able to adjust to whatever was happening, and most importantly he kept the party going all night. Our guests are still talking about him. He played all of our requests and filled in the rest of the time with great song choices. CJ has so many five star reviews for a reason! Book him for all of your events, he’s the best DJ in the DMV. Thank you, CJ!!

it's a suggestion/ remix for music or a change of plans for any announcements needed while being the MC. I highly recommend.

playlist with natural transitions and thoughtful ordering. We also had several specific requests (including a custom, five minute mashup of our do-not-play list) that he absolutely crushed! Everyone at the wedding had something great to say about CJ and I've already passed his information along to several friends. I could not recommend CJ highly enough!

was the whole night. I could not recommend him enough - he was quite possibly our favorite vendor to work with. 10/10!

t comment to us after the wedding how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed DJ Kenny and his song picks. I was very nervous when choosing the DJ for our wedding as the dancing is my favorite part of a reception. DJ Kenny was very easy going, understood my vision and was easy to collaborate with. And any details I forgot (there were a few – sorry Kenny!) DJ Kenny was able to roll with the punches and get the job done! Our wedding would not have been the success it was without DJ Kenny!

veryone young and old have a great time!

r dance floor was poppin all night. We had guests of all ages dancing away. He was very communicative, happy to offer advice and just overall so easy to work with. We knew we were in good hands and got comments from our other vendors on how fun our wedding was. We actually went to another wedding a few months before ours where he was the DJ and he rocked it there also. I can’t recommend him enough!

running with some of your favorite genres, or playing a curated list of your favorites. We went the curated route and he incorporated all of our requests, with an impeccable flair for mixing and mashing songs. CJ also was not at all intrusive- he made event-related announcements, but was not constantly chatting/promoting. We got so many compliments about how it was the best, most constant dance party ever, which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you, CJ!

it was. Throughout the whole process he was very professional- setting aside time to call, answer all questions, and was very accommodating with the acoustic music performer I had for cocktail hour offering him equipment and whatever else he may need. When the day of comes he is dressed very professionally. He knows when to change the music over to keep everyone on the dance floor and helps keep the night moving at the perfect pace. Along with is awesome DJ skills, I had always wanted to rent cold sparks for our grand entrance but could not find anyone with them until I book DJ CJ. His entertainment add-ons were the perfect touch for our fairy tail wedding.

through the entire wedding planning process. He was a vendor I didn’t worry about for one second! He navigated our unconventional venue like a pro and kept the dance floor busy all night. He went above and beyond to make our vision come to life! Thank you, CJ!

r us on our big day. The ceremony ran so smoothly (even with last minute weather related ceremony changes), his MC skills were perfect, and the dance floor stayed packed and lively. He was sure to play all of our requests at the exact right moments and his sets in between were always bangers. I couldn't have had a better experience with CJ and his communication along the way made the wedding planning process just a little less stressful. I may be bias but our dance floor may have been the most fun of any wedding ever!

d, professional, and helpful in making sure everything was ready for the big day. On the day of the wedding he was flexible in making announcements and really worked with the flow of the event. The music itself was fantastic. His mixes got everyone on the dance floor, and . The cold sparks were an awesome touch that our guests really appreciated and the lighting was spot on. CJ was the ultimate wedding DJ

ly an amazing DJ. Would recommend him to anyone that needs a DJ for any event.
