I regretted getting this DJ. I heard Chris was great, but I ended up getting another Chris who worked for the same company. I filled out every song on the app they gave me, but Chr...
is played all kinds of random music that didn’t match the event. He did “mash-ups” and other things you would hear at college night clubs. For example, we are a white and Asian family and Chris was playing popular Latin music. Not many of the guest danced, and when we would finally start dancing to a song, he would randomly interrupt the song and start playing another one. A few of my guests spoke with me afterwards mentioning the strange music remixes. I felt sad about my dj experience. My husband and I really love music, but this was not good. He also forgot to announce the champagne toast and the best man speech.
I will say he nailed the ceremony music and did exactly what was on the list!
We hired Footloose Entertainment for both DJ and photo booth services for our wedding in St. Augustine, and they exceeded every expectation. From our first call, it was clear they ...
were true professionals — organized, responsive, and genuinely excited to help us plan the perfect reception.
The DJ read the room perfectly all night, keeping the dance floor packed from our first dance straight through the last song. The sound quality was crisp and clear during both the ceremony and reception, and every announcement and transition was seamless.
The photo booth was the surprise hit of the night! Our guests are still talking about it — the photos came out so much fun and gave everyone a keepsake they actually use. The setup looked sleek and modern, not like a typical photo booth, and it fit right into our reception decor.
If you're getting married in Northeast Florida and looking for a wedding DJ and photo booth combo that actually delivers, look no further than Footloose Entertainment. Worth every penny — we couldn't have asked for a better entertainment team for our big day!

We had a great time at our wedding with Chris Yambo! He was professional and personable throughout the entire process and had a wonderful night. He really helped take everything to...
gether and keep things going smoothly. The platform we used to submit our plan and request songs was really easy to navigate. We had several conversations with Kris and Chris to try to convey what we liked and Chris somehow pulled it all off (a mix of pop, hip hop, emo, reggaetón, and salsa?) absolutely amazing. I highly recommend reaching out to Kris at footloose to schedule your next event, but also specifically requesting Chris as your DJ!
Kris was amazing to work with. He definitely kept up with the energy of the dance floor and everyone had so much fun, they didn’t want the night to end. We also rented a photo boo...

I cannot write enough GREAT things about Kris and Footloose. They were beyond accommodating, and listened to everything we wanted. We trusted him with keeping the dance floor busy ...

I HIGHLY recommend them for your venue!

process was a breeze and he did a phenomenal job playing our processional and recessional songs right on cue. Once the reception started, the dance floor was packed allll night long! I got multiple compliments from people during the wedding, and after on how good the music was. I had mentioned in one of our video chats that I love One Direction and he made sure to play a bunch of their hits. It absolutely made my night! Kris, you rock! Thank you for being apart of our special day.
Kris is awesome! 10/10 would recommend him. He was very easy to work with and was very accommodating with all of our requests. His music selection was superb and fit the vibe perfe...
ctly. He did a great job MCing the event and helped us get through all of the activities. Additionally, as a side note, we accidentally left some items with him and he was very accommodating with getting those things back to us.
Don't go with a different DJ unless Kris is completely booked up. He is the go to for your event!
Was easy to get ahold of. Fair pricing and did a military discount. Played music we liked and even found songs he didn’t have to play at the venue. Kris was super nice and helpful ...
and anytime there was a problem was more than happy to fix it for us. Can’t recommend this DJ enough if you’re wedding is the St. Augustine area

He was the best!
Jason with Footloose Entertainment is so great! He was able to take our "must play" playlist and incorporate it into the evening to keep the party going the whole night. You can te...

ption of giving must plays / do not plays but we decided to let Kris play what he thought people would dance to. And it was a great decision. People danced until the very end of the night. The photobooth was also great! We used the photobook as our guest book and had people sign next to their pictures. It was a hit!

Highly recommend Kris and Footloose!
We had not originally booked with Footloose entertainment, but some unfortunate circumstances led us to needing a last minute DJ. Our wedding planner reached out and we had a DJ bo...
oked within days. We could NOT have been happier with footloose entertainment and DJ Jason. He was cool, confident, relaxed and pumped up our entire wedding party and family!

Could not be more grateful for this company and DJ Jason who saved our wedding day! BOOK THEM NOW!!
We are so happy we booked Footloose Entertainment!
We were lucky enough to have the owner, Kris, as our DJ. I had *very* specific requests when it came to music for both the cere...
mony and reception. Kris absolutely nailed all of my requests. We had several comments from our guests about how great the DJ was. The dance floor was packed all night! All of this for a very reasonable price.
Definitely recommend Footloose Entertainment!
Chris with Footloose Entertainment was a BLAST! Working with him was so easy. We told him we were some good old 90's babies and our guests grew up with 80's music from our parents,...
90's music from our childhood, and 2000's for high school. He took it and ran with it, every single song he played got people out on the dance floor and singing our hearts out! He gave us great recommendations for timeline and worked with our wedding coordinator to help everything move along smoothly. I can't recommend him enough!
I hired Footloose Entertainment for my 12/19/20 wedding. They did a great job with running the timeline of the day and announcing the events at the wedding. The sound quality was g...
reat and I had no issues getting the songs I wanted (I had some specific instrumentals I wanted for my ceremony). They also played the music at my reception exactly how I wanted. My music taste isn’t unusual in any way, but I was very specific about what I did and didn’t want to hear the “vibe” I was going for. The music was exactly what I wanted! The DJs were also always very pleasant to talk to and work with. I also rented uplighting through Footloose as a last minute decision and loved it for my space! I definitely recommending using Footloose for your wedding DJ!
Jason at Footloose Entertainment was fun and professional! He truly listened to our requests, as well as our guests, and was able to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long...
. From our ceremony to our first dance, Jason kept the music and announcements flawless. I highly recommend Jason at Footloose Entertainment and would definitely hire them again!
Absolutely amazing! My husband and I did the DJ package and photobooth. Kris was our DJ and he did such an amazing job, he took the time to understand our music tastes and the whol...
e night we danced away to great music. The photobooth was perfect, our guests loved it! The pictures were absolutely amazing, and we received a book that prints were inserted into and our family and friends were able to write us sweet messages. I would highly recommend this company for any weddings or events in the future!!!!
Jason was an amazing DJ! He kept the party going for our special day. His experience was apparent as he read the crowd and kept everyone engaged and moving and having a great time!...

The BEST!!!!! I work in the event industry so I was honestly pretty picky when it came to my own vendors. Footloose was perfect, my day of DJ was Jason and he was awesome. I couldn...

went perfect and Kris was awesome at giving direction and making changes at the last minute when we had to switch things around.

e dancing! I would recommend Kris to anyone!
We knew from the time we met Kris at a tasting event at our venue that he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding. After talking to him we knew he would be able to keep the night m...
oving with our diverse crowd (we knew some people would be difficult to get on the dance floor). Footloose's online planner was so easy to use. On top of that, the other songs Kris played were perfect for the group. As I said, he kept the night moving well from dinner to first dance to cake cutting. He even helped re-bustle my dress when it came out of its bustle.
We also utilized Footloose for their photobooth services, and loved the results! I feel the value for the money was very reasonable, and would highly recommend Kris and Footloose Entertainment to anyone!
We were so happy to have Kris help us with our wedding day. From the time we started communicating with him we knew we were working with an industry professional. The questionnaire...
s he had us work through made sure every facet was thought of making the day of flow perfectly. We ended up also using them for our light rentals and also a tv rental. All of their equipment was top of the line and we were so glad we had them help us with our wedding day.
We used Footloose Entertainment for our April 2019 wedding and are so glad we chose them!! The day went perfectly and our DJ Dennis was amazing. We met with Dennis a few weeks befo...
re the wedding to go over everything and it felt like we were talking to an old friend. For things we were not sure on he had great suggestions and he thought of things that hadn't even crossed our mind. When it came to the wedding day, Dennis pulled everything off perfectly! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and he made the evening so much fun. We would highly recommend Footloose and Dennis for any of your DJ needs, we are hoping we have an excuse to use them again in the future!
Kris played all the best music! All of our guests had a fantastic time and gave lots of compliments!
The team at Footloose Entertainment is absolutely incredible! From the moment I inquired about them for our wedding day to the very end of the night, the quality of service was imp...
eccable. Everyone who attended my wedding said that the music was a highlight. It was really important to me that everyone was dancing, and our DJ Kris made sure this was the case! I will recommend them to everyone I know!
Thank you Footloose!!
