We recently had our microwedding at Padua Hills Theatre and Entertainment Express was their preferred DJ/MC. Brett, Evan, and the Entertainment Express staff did a great job with music the day off the wedding. Brett helped us with the planning ...
process, timeline of the ceremony and reception, and of course the music. The music played were followed according to what we have decided during the planning stages. Everyone complimented how great the music progressed during the ceremony and the reception. Brett was out MC, and he did a wonderful job with the timeline. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ/MC/Music and timeline coordinator than Entertainment Express! Thank you very much! Till our next event!

He walked me through the schedule and told me where I needed to be at what time, which really added to me and my husband being able to really enjoy the night. The DJ Ryan was also great!!

Initially I was concerned that I was required to use Entertainment Express if we were going to have a DJ, rather than live band, at our wedding at Padua Hills. Those concerns went away as soon as we met Evan. Months before the wedding, my (...
now) husband and I completed a thorough questionnaire so Entertainment Express understood what vibe we wanted during our ceremony and reception. The questionnaire covered everything-- from what music to play when guests arrived to what songs would encourage guests to get on the dance floor. Evan was patient with us, and offered helpful suggestions when we needed them. Evan and the Entertainment Express team were easy to communicate with by phone and e-mail, and handled some of our last minute requests effortlessly. This was especially helpful to me because I was planning this wedding from 3,000 miles away. Evan assisted with our ceremony and reception, and was proactive in finding solutions to some small problems that arose. Multiple guests approached me directly to say how great Evan was throughout the entire wedding. Entertainment Express is a team of true professionals. Our wedding was fun and stress-free largely because of them. I can't recommend them enough.

Evan jumped right in to try and help me put it back on but the wind had other plans :) So I just laughed and told him to take it & made my way down the aisle.

I also love the way that they guided Joel and I throughout the entire night, letting us know where to be and when we needed to do certain things, it really took the pressure off Joel and I, as we were able to just be present and enjoy interacting with others, as Evan would just get us when we needed to do something.

During our initial planning meeting, he was very patient with us, and helped us to pick out ceremony music when we were severely struggling with what we wanted. It really took the pressure off of us, which was so nice. He was also able to shed a lot of light on their style of DJ-ing, so we could rest assured that they wouldn't be playing any songs we didn't like. They also were great at not letting things drag on too long. I've been to weddings before where there are giant lulls in the activities or there are awkward pauses while you're waiting for something like the bouquet toss, but not with these guys! They are truly professionals, and their experience definitely shows. Overall, they just made us feel very comfortable, which is no easy task, considering I'm usually a giant ball of stress.

Absolutely the best experience! My husband and I got married in October of 2016 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Claremont. Everything went so smoothly and on time. I was so pleased with the whole process from start to finish. Entertainment express ...
helped with so many of the little details, from our timeline to helping us pick the perfect songs and keeping everything exactly as I envisioned it. Our reception was sooo fun and memorable due our emcee, Brett. It ran precisely how we planned it, they were in my opinion the wedding planner/director and it was perfect! We received a ton of complements on how amazing and perfect our wedding was. Hiring Entertainment Express was and is the best decision you can make when it comes to hiring a DJ/Entertainment Company.

When my husband and I got married at Padua Hills Theatre on 7.25.15 it was a no-brainer to go with their preferred entertainment vendor - Entertainment Express - since their equipment is built into the venue itself. Although we originally booke...
d them for convenience, they were so fantastic, we couldn't have done it without them. Sure they have excellent DJs and work with you to personalize the soundtrack to your special day. But what impressed us the most was the following: - They had such great suggestions for ways for us to incorporate both of our styles into the ceremony and reception music. - They built our wedding day itinerary and scheduled everything down to the minute so we never had to worry about what was happening next. When it was time to make our grand entrance, cut the cake, or toss the bouquet, they would come grab us and our bridal party. They even made sure we ate!! - Their MCs are also great. We worked with Brett who we absolutely loved. More importantly, our guests loved him. Several people came up to me just to compliment our MC. He was able to move guests around and ensure the flow went smoothly while making sure everyone was having a great time. We cannot recommend Entertainment Express enough. Whether you're the type of couple who has everything figured out or the couple like us (who didn't even know there was a cake cutting song) they will work with you to make your day and/or night the best ever!

Please keep in mind, this is for the DJ ONLY and not for Entertainment Express as a whole. Unfortunately, we weren't thrilled by our DJ. I did not even meet him. I don't know what his name is. He never spoke to us once. When choosing our gran...
d entrance song, we were told we had to have a longer song, and I asked if the DJ could just loop it himself. We were told he could not. I thought that was the job of a DJ, but maybe our generation is just too used to DJs like Avicii and Kaskade who can mix music on the spot. The light effects were okay. He played requested songs when people were not even in the reception hall (due to over-popularity of the photo booth). He forgot to play a song requested as a slow dance specifically for my husband to dance with his mom. (We didn't do a traditional mother-son dance. The explanation is way too long for this.) We also did a special performance, and during the last portion, all the spot lights turned off and no one could see what was going on. The DJ took a good 20 seconds to turn them back on, which doesn't seem like much. But during a performance, 20 seconds is a decent chunk of time. Overall, not too impressed. But the music selection was fine. And people had fun dancing in the end. ---------------------- Now onto the MC and owners. We initially met with Scott, one of the owners, and he sold us on Entertainment Express immediately. We loved him, we loved his demo, and we did not look at anyone else. He is wonderful. Scott's nephew Brett was our MC. Our planning meeting with him went very well. We were able to smooth out kinks quickly, and he answered all of our questions. On our wedding day, we did run into a few unforeseen problems, but Brett handled everything well and made me feel comfortable. I don't remember panicking at all about the fire on the freeway that delayed all of our guests. Everything ran so smoothly that I didn't even realize how big that was until the next day. Brett was wonderful with our friends and family. And he was a great MC. He kept everything running on time, but we didn't feel rushed at all. We had time to enjoy everything. Five stars to Brett!!

We went with Entertainment Express because we had our wedding at Padua and you pretty much have to go with them since all their equipment is already set up in the reception area. Anyway, we had a couple of pretty good meetings with our DJ (or s...
o we thought it would be our DJ), and we really had a connection with him and he understood what we were going for. A couple of weeks before our wedding, we found out he wasn't going to be our DJ and told us Heather would be doing our wedding. We were very disappointed and asked to meet with her so she understands what kind of music we wanted to play. We showed up to the meeting and Heather was not there and one of the other associates was like, "So, what can I do for you?" As if they didn't even know we were going to be there that day to meet with Heather. He assured us she had years and years of experience and that we were in good hands. On the wedding day, the MC was great, but the DJ seemed amateur. She played some Spanish music, which we liked, but she then started playing reggaeton which we checked that we did not want played. It was already halfway through the dance time and she hadn't even started playing any of our songs from our PLAY LIST. That's when my husband (the groom) had to go up to her and tell her to start playing our songs. She didn't know how to make transitions and would play the songs almost in it's entirety. Aren't DJ's supposed to mix it up just a little bit ?? If I would have known, I would have made a c.d. ahead of time to give to her and had her push play. Anyway, we were really disappointed with that and emailed Entertainment Express to give them our feedback and they said they'd talk to their manager, but we never received a response...

Music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. Both my husband and I believe music is a way of expression and it truly is a big part of our lives. So we chose Entertainment Express because we knew they could customize our day to so...
und like no one else's wedding. We sat down for a few hours with my parents and husband and hand picked the entire soundtrack to our wedding day. From the music that played for guest arrival, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour, and of course the reception. They are not just Dj's but wedding coordinators. A few weeks before the big day, I received the massive timeline of every second during the wedding. The MC was so professional and knew how to handle families and keep everyone (photographers, photobooth, etc.) on time. We did not have to worry about a single thing at the wedding, because Brett (our MC) knew exactly how we wanted things to go. He knew the time breakdowns of when each event took place, knew the names of family members who were to give speeches and knew who not to give the microphone too as well! We wanted to portray different emotions through the various events at the wedding with the music choices we made, and we ended up getting so many compliments on the music throughout the entire night. It made us proud that all of our time and careful choices really impacted the guests. We had wanted the reception to be like a club with the dance floor packed, and boy was it packed the entire night. The Dj was playing non-stop hits that everyone could dance to, the lasers, and lights, and haze machine added to the awesome night. So, if you are looking for a stress-free, worry-free, awesome musical experience, I recommend Entertainment Express. They are very professional have high quality very cutting edge technology and can customize your wedding or event to reflect who you truly are. They are wonderful DJ's and coordinators who schedule your event minute by minute for you.

We met with Brett a month prior to the wedding and went over all the music and songs we picked to be played during our ceremony and reception. He broke our whole wedding day down second by second. We were very impressed! He was funny and a great MC. The guests all heard his announcements and I didn't hear any complaints that people could not hear what was going on. Their lighting was exceptional as well! When we hired Entertainment Express they asked what we wanted our wedding to be like and our response was fun.

It was really great to have an efficient DJ and MC to help direct the wedding ceremony and reception in a timely manner. My only critique is that a some parts were maybe a little "cheesy". Despite that, Shawn was exceptional in his MC skills and really helped everyone feel welcome and informed as to what was taking place. He also did a great job assisting the bridal party with their reception grand entrances. Anthony did a great job with cueing music as I had specified as well as getting the crowd pumped on the dance floor with the music! Entertainment Express is a great choice for your wedding! They helped custom-tailor a perfectly scheduled event that reflected our personal style and music taste.
