We hired DJ Alan and he was incredible! DJ Alan helped stage me surprising my husband with a song, and had our dance floor full all night long!! Would highly recommend to anyone!
Hilton Head Entertainment does not disappoint! I had heard one of their musicians while on vacation in July 2024 for dinner on the island. We were hoping to plan a small wedding in the Fall 2024 on Hilton Head Island and I made sure before leaving the restaurant to take a picture of the musicians' information.
Once it was definite that we were getting married on Hilton Head Island I immediately contacted Hilton Head Entertainment. Mind you, 8 weeks until our wedding date.
Alan was my first and only point of contact from the administrative side and he couldn't have been more delightful, professional and easy to work with. He stayed in constant contact with me and followed up almost immediately after our wedding.
Oir musician Reid is an amazing acoustic guitarist and ukulele player. Once I booked Reid he contacted me and we had fun panning out the details. I didn't hesitate on any of Reids suggestions, they made sense and that's why I hired him...he is the professional!. His experience and love for music put us at ease and his genuine nature and calmness was greatly appreciated. Reid's demeanor and calmness during some inclement weather was impressive, but then again he is a pro, and his willingness to wait while we all regrouped to finish the ceremony was extremely kind.
Cant wait till I'm back on the Island and get to hear Reid lay again!
Alan was fantastic to work with. Incredibly helpful in the whole process and knowledgable about what works best. Definitely recommend!

Any questions?
Hilton Head Entertainment is a professional business that knows how to execute their client's vision. Throughout the process of planning our wedding details they were responsive and very communicative about making sure what we were looking for was executed the day of. EVERYTHING they did was perfect! We had DJ Alan keeping our guests on the dance floor. We ALSO used them for our photo booth / guest book. It was all perfect!! Our wedding was at Hewitt Oaks. I highly recommend using them.
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2024
Congratulations again to you and Dylan! We are so happy to hear that DJ Alan and our photo booth were enjoyed by you and your guests.
We had a GREAT experience with Hilton Head Entertainment and DJ Bill West. They were super easy to work with, open to what we wanted, and on the day of the event, when we had some last minute/on the spot tweaks to the timeline DJ Bill adjusted flawlessly with minimal need for direction. He had the party rocking and everyone could hear our ceremony easily over the sound of post-storm waves and wind on the beach! Reasonable pricing. Truly a great experience and would absolutely recommend.

Congratulations again Taylor! It was a pleasure being a part of your planning process, and I am so happy to hear that DJ Andy was able to meet your expectations and enhance this special day!
We are so glad to have chosen DJ Alan for our wedding. Not only was he incredibly responsive and helpful ahead of the event, he provided all the music as requested from the ceremony to the reception. Our guests loved the selection and helped keep the energy flowing all night long! My husband and I would definitely recommend using Alan and the Hilton Head Entertainment group for your wedding MC and DJ needs.

Congratulations to you and Robert, Emily! We are always pleased to hear that we were able to help streamline and simplify the planning process.
Wonderful and professional!!
We had DJ Bill West at our wedding and he did an amazing job. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a great time. He also did perfectly with keeping the schedule on track for things like announcing the party and the first dance, ect.
We also used Hilton Head Entertainment for our photobooth and that also worked well. People had a great time and we got a copy of all the photos after the wedding. They also designed a lovely decoration for the printed photo sheet.
10/10 would recommend!

Congratulations on your wedding Mimi! We are so happy that Bill West and our Photo Booth were an enhancement to your special day!
Bill West was the DJ at our wedding and he was excellent! He was super communicative, friendly, energetic, and delivered on everything we asked for! David Kimbell played the violin during our ceremony and it was beautiful. I sent him about 10 specific songs I hoped he could play, and he was able to play all of them!
Alan was excellent !!! He really made everything perfect !! Made our small wedding very fun and kept everyone involved from young to old !!! I highly recommend him !!!
The best !!!
AMAZING!!! It is hard to put into words the wonderful experience we had with Hilton Head Entertainment and DJ Alan specifically. The business is well organized, professional, flexible, and totally worth it! DJ Alan worked with us throughout the entirety of our planning. He is extremely knowledgeable on what he does and was able to give us the best advice in order to make our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception audio, entertainment, and music the best it could possibly be. He was very well organized and was great at working with our musician and wedding coordinator. He is friendly, accommodating, and respectful towards all of our wishes for the wedding. We had no doubt that he would help make our wedding day a dream! With that being said he certainly did!!! Everything was so well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guest could hear everything at our beach ceremony, our musician was well hooked up to play on the beach and at the venue, and our reception was to die for!! He played all of our favorites and was so nice in playing request from our guest. He truly helped make the party come to life! We are forever grateful for our experience with Hilton Head Entertainment!! They are a MUST for your wedding, you won't regret it!

Hilton Head Entertainment brought my event to a next level and truly elevated the experience. We had a violinist and a cellist playing for the guest arrival, the ceremony and cocktail hour and they did not disappoint. They made my wedding extra memorable and were extremely professional, highly recommend. They also have an extensive selection of sheet music both classic and modern.

Hello Hayley, congratulations on your recent wedding. I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed David Kimbell's string performance as much as he enjoyed being a part of your special day.
Alan was fantastic! He was on top of everything -- we used his services for both our ceremony and our reception. All was wonderful! I can't think of anything that could have been better. Thank you, Alan!

Hello Sydney, congratulations on your recent wedding. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed working with DJ Alan, and that he was able to contribute to a seamless wedding day!
We had three different musicians as part of our wedding weekend - the John Brackett trio for our Welcome Party, David Kimbell for our ceremony, and DJ Jeff Crane for our reception and all were fantastic. DJ Crane picked exactly the right songs throughout the dinner and dancing to keep everyone having a great time - we just sent some 'must plays' and an idea of the kind of music we liked. He also checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with the song choices (which we were!). David Kimbell and John Brackett (and their fellow musicians) were all fantastically talented and did a great job. It was especially wonderful that David learned two new songs for our ceremony, which sounded beautiful.
The Hilton Head Entertainment company made it easy for us to find the right musicians for what we wanted and everything was seamless from there. Thanks to all involved!

Hello and congratulations! We consistently hear wonderful reviews from couples about David Kimbell, and we are so pleased to hear that you and your guests enjoyed his performance.
Craig Edelson of Hilton Head Entertainment was the DJ for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. What a great job he did. From the planning to the actual wedding and reception, he was superb. He was so helpful during the planning - making great recommendations. Craig definately helped make the wedding and reception perfect. I highly recommend Hilton Head Enteretainment and Craig Edelson!

Congratulations Laura! We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful wedding day and that DJ Alan was able to help make your vision come to life!
We worked with Craig with Hilton Head Entertainment and he was amazing! We hired him for our beach wedding and he throughly exceed our expectations. My biggest hope was that our friends and family would be dancing on the dance floor and Craig helped curate a playlist that had our guest dancing the night away. He truly went above and beyond to make our day special and was very accommodating through out the process. Craig provided helpful insight when asked and was patient with requests. You won't regret working with him. He was responsive, flexible, fun, and professional. A big thank you always to you Craig for helping make our day memorable! Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a DJ.
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2022

Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2022
We are so happy that you and your guests enjoyed David Kimbell's performance and that you had a great time at your event!
Alan did an amazing job at our wedding in May! We had a small wedding so I was worried we wouldn't have many people on the dance floor, but Alan had such a great mix of songs, the dance floor was packed the entire night. Everyone had the best time dancing the night away!
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2022
Congratulations Samantha, we are so pleased to hear that DJ Alan helped to make your intimate wedding so much fun!
HHE was flexible and worked well! When rain started right before my ceremony, they worked with the crazy schedule and got the equipment ready to go for the new ceremony time.
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Christina, and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day.
DJ Craig Edelson was the best DJ! He worked closely with us to discover our unique preferences and was so kind and professional. Our dance floor was full the entire time, yet he kept it classy, fun, and wholesome as we requested. Several of our guests complimented us on our wonderful DJ and people are still telling me how much fun the dancing was!
He really read the room well and picked just the right songs at the right time. I've been to so many weddings over the past few years and most of them either felt like a prom or a nightclub. DJ Craig created the best dance floor and wedding experience yet still kept it classy. DJ Craig was worth every penny!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Chloe. We are delighted to hear that you and your guests enjoyed DJ Craig Edelson's performance so much.
Alan Palchack was absolutely extraordinary to work with for our wedding. We presented him with a list of music styles, and he was on point with the music selection for the reception. Cathy K. was the violinist we had for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and I received numerous compliments about her musical talent. If you are looking for a team to meet all your wedding entertainment dreams, I would highly recommend you start with Hilton Head Entertainment!! They helped make our wedding a magical memory!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Josh. We are thrilled to hear that DJ Alan Palchak was so wonderful to work with, and that you received such positive comments from guests about violinist Cathy Klimoff-Hardy.
DJ Alan was amazing! He had my 90 year old grandparents dancing. We didn't have the smoothest day with our venue but Alan really made up for it. The entire team was great to work with and Reid killed it for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests still tell us how great the music was all day.
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Gabrielle, we love hearing that DJ Alan had your grandparents dancing, and that Reid Richmond's performance was enjoyed!
We had a blast with Alan as our DJ at our Wedding! Could not recommend more!
We also had a photo booth that our guests truly loved as well that was added on last minute. Thank you to Alan and James!
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Bailey. We are so happy to hear that DJ Alan made your special day so much fun, and that your guests loved the photo booth as well.
DJ Allan is a true professional. We had a lot of really specific music requests, and he incorporated all of it perfectly. He can also roll with the punches -- when we had an unplanned change on the day and needed a friend to officiate our wedding ceremony instead of the planned officiant, he got his mic all set up and our guests were none the wiser. The twinkle lights for the reception also came out beautifully. Thank you Allan for helping us throw an awesome party!
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Congratulations Krissy. Thank you for trusting us to accommodate your requests successfully and for giving DJ Alan an opportunity to help you "throw an awesome party!"
Alan was easy to work with and ensured our wedding event was magical!

Congratulations Joe, we are so pleased to hear that DJ Alan helped to make your special day magical!
We contacted Hilton Head Entertainment for our wedding. Our wedding planner recommended DJ Craig Edelson and David Kimbell. We had received a list of songs for David Kimbell to perform on a violin for our ceremony and he played what we picked out beautifully. DJ Craig sat with us ahead of time to coordinate our reception from start to finish. We picked out specific songs and things we wanted him to help us carry out during the reception. Throughout the reception, he was in tune with us and our guests. The music was so upbeat that even the venue staff were dancing along with us.
I hired Hilton Head Entertainment for DJ services, and Alan emailed me immediately with various information and a quote. He was so helpful, and he created the best package for me while making sure I had everything I needed for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
Beyond words, Alan is a great communicator. We emailed throughout the year, and during the summer, and I asked a huge favor from him. My favorite wedding scene is from the movie, "Crazy Rich Asians. I asked him if he could not only play that exact song ("Can't Help Falling in Love" by Kina Grannis) while everyone walked down the aisle (including myself) but also make sure that the song played the exact way as the movie. This meant him adding extra music at the beginning to make sure that the big moment in the song, in which I would walk down the aisle, played perfectly. It was a big ask! I wanted my moment to be just like the movies, and he did just that for me. The ceremony was perfect, and I could not have asked for anything more perfect.
All of my guests loved Alan. He played a really fun set of music and was so kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
At the recommendation of our planner, we worked with Hilton Head Entertainment. They provided us with a string duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I wondered if maybe I was springing for an additional expense I didn't really need, but I am SO GLAD we chose to have the string and I am equally glad that we went with Hilton Head Entertainment. They made the booking process easy and we selected the songs we liked best. They were always responsive to emails and questions. But most importantly, the music on the day of was such a nice touch and it made our eventful feel even more magical. I cant recommend HHE and Cathy Klimoff enough!
Beyond thankful for DJ Craig! There was not one person sitting down. Everyone was on the dance floor! He truly made my wedding vision come to life. My husband doesn’t like to dance much and he was out on the dance floor. Look no further for a DJ. thank you so much for all that you do. It was amazing!
We had an absolute blast and our DJ was incredible! We honestly couldn't have asked for anything better. Andy was amazing and truly set up the dancing perfectly, he was incredibly easy to work with and would recommend him to anyone. He had the perfect vibe we were looking for and our whole wedding couldn't stop dancing. The whole process was very easy to work with and made it easy to get set up even with living 12 hours away. Andy truly understood what we wanted for the day and completely put us at ease throughout the whole event!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2021
Thank you for this wonderful review. I have shared it with Andy. Wishing you and Cody the very best in your new life together.
Incredibly pleased with the services and support provided by HHE! DJ Alan was outstanding and Jackie was a pleasure to work with in the planning stages.
Definitely the best DJ we have ever had! Great combination of Professionalism, fun, flexibility, reading the crowd and reasonable fees. You won’t find better. Just book him, someone else will
Response from the Vendor on 06/18/2021
Thank you for taking the time to review DJ Alan. It was a pleasure to be part of this very special occasion. Best wished to Samantha and Greg!
Hilton Head Entertainment was easy and GREAT to work with! We were very pleased with our choice of violinist for our wedding ceremony and it was a seamless process. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Excellent job by Hilton Head Entertainment!! An experience DJ who is familiar with the venue we selected was a must and Hilton Head Entertainment delivered!!!
DJ Alan was the exact type of DJ my husband and I were hoping for and we actually got compliments the whole night about how good the music was. He played everything we wanted to hear, nothing we didn't, and, no lie, the only time the dance floor wasn't full was when they announced the cake was ready to eat. Alan had a great sense of humor and professionalism and we couldn't have had a more fun music experience! Would definitely recommend.
Hilton Head Entertainment & Craig Edelson were phenomenal to work with. We planned our wedding 11.5 hours away and they made the planning process seamless. From prompt email replies to zoom calls, we were always on the same page. It made everything stress-free. Now onto the wedding with Craig. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received for our cocktail hour and dinner music. He absolutely nailed our vision and the vibe we were going for. For dancing, he played an array of music that catered to our guests, we had a smaller wedding and I was worried about no one being on the dance floor, but guests were dancing all night, they didn't want to leave! Craig even pulled me up to be a guest DJ on a song, what a surprise and the guests LOVED IT! We cannot thank HH Entertainment & Craig enough for being part of our special day

Good Afternoon Kelsi,
Thank you so much for taking time to review HHE and Craig Edelson. It was a pleasure and we greatly appreciate this awesome review. Best wishes always!
We cannot recommend Hilton Head Entertainment enough! DJ Alan and Brad Swanson (guitarist) were knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. They made our wedding so memorable and fun. They listened to every request we had along with taking the time to create a mashup of songs for my father daughter dance. We are so blessed to have found Hilton Head Entertainment and will be reaching out to them for future parties and gatherings.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a pleasure to be part of your special day.
DJ Alan and Hilton Head Entertainment were amazing at our wedding! We were looking for a DJ that played great music, was an awesome MC, and had a photo booth available, and DJ Alan fit the bill exactly! Before the wedding, Alan worked with us to figure out which songs and types of music we loved and also what we didn’t want played. Alan had great suggestions for all of our song choices, and also confirmed versions of important songs with us prior to the big day, so that we were all on the same page. We also did an anniversary dance, which Alan helped us plan and overall ended up being a big hit! The dance floor was full all night long! My dad especially loved the mix of music that Alan helped us curate, he and other guests were talking about how good the music/dancing was all night long!
We also hired James and the photo booth available from Hilton Head Entertainment. James and Alan helped make the photo booth more COVID appropriate by making it a photo station instead of a booth, and choosing props that could be wiped down between guests. The photo booth/station was a HUGE hit, our guests were talking about it all night and even the day after! It also served as a guest book, as extra copies of each photo strip were glued into a scrapbook and signed by all the guests; the Groom and I love it! James also went out of his way to print out 4x6 copies of all the photos the Groom and I took, as well as making us two photo magnets of our photostrip! He also gave us all the electronic copies of all the photos, which we and our guests also love!
Overall, you cannot go wrong with hiring DJ Alan and Hilton Head Entertainment for your event!
Response from the Vendor on 01/21/2021
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. HHE, Alan and James were so very happy we could be part of your special day. Best wishes!
Don Scott was the DJ for my wedding. He did a great job and I would review him to anyone. He listens to your wants and needs and really works with you. He made sure the volume was what I wanted. (I hate loud weddings) and he made sure to keep the guests entertained!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2021
Thank you Morgan for taking the time to review Don. Wishing you and Matt all the best. Happy 2021! May it be a great year for all.
Jackie Brino was absolutely amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. She was able to organize things in a way that helped us really picture what was going to be needed to create our dream wedding. Jackie was always available to speak when we needed her, and we really appreciated how amazing she was with all of the other vendors. There are so many moving parts to a wedding, and there are so many things that could be missed or overlooked, but Jackie did not let anything slip through the cracks. We truly appreciate all her help and guidance through this process. She made all the stresses of planning a wedding easy!
Absolutely wonderful to work with, and kept the dance party going all night. People from all age groups loved the music selection and had a great time dancing. Many guests complimented DJ Alan after the wedding, saying that it was the best wedding music they had heard! Not only was the wedding great, but he was a pleasure to work with. He thought of the extra details that we had missed and really helped us enjoy the planning process. Highly recommend.

Good Morning Alexis, Thank you so much for taking the time to review HHE and Alan. Wishing you and Sean only the very best.
DJ Alan did a phenomenal job in making our special day even better! He and Jackie made sure they knew the type of music to play at our reception and arranged some special callouts and songs during the night. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about DJ Alan and we would highly recommend him for any event!
Thanks to HH Entertainment with supplying us with extraordinary musicians and sound equipment for our daughters wedding in Sea Pines in Hilton Head. Cathy Klimoff and David Kimbell performed at the ceremony and the reception happy hour. They were both very talented and professional! The mics and sound equipment were provided at the ceremony. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They work wonderfully with the staff at Sea Pines and everything was carried out perfectly! Thanks so much for a great day!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2020
Thank you so much for your kind words Arlene. It was a pleasure to be able to assist with your daughters special day. Wising them all the best!
DJ Alan was an awesome entertainer! He was in tune with the crowd and noticed when the music needed to be sped up or slowed down. The wedding was a BLAST & I had multiple family members comment on how good the music was!
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2020
Thank you Tori and Kyle for taking the time to review DJ Alan. He was thrilled by your kind words.
We absolutely loved having Craig as our wedding DJ. From the very first phone call to the end of our reception, he was very accommodating and truly cared about us as a couple and not just as a client. Craig is very talented, we enjoyed his music selection from the ceremony all the way through the reception. My favorite thing about Craig is that he kept our guests engaged and no one ever wanted to leave the dance floor!
We used Hilton Head Entertainment to provide advice and booking for musicians for a wedding - both ceremony/cocktail hour and reception. They were very professional. We were very pleased with their service to us, and the musicians we booked were excellent. I would use them again and recommend them to friends.
We hired DJ Alan for our wedding that was supposed to take place in April 2020. Due to the circumstances with Covid-19 we unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to July 2020. Although Covid still impacted our new date we were still able to celebrate with family and friends! DJ Alan and his team were super accommodating with the date change and made sure every detail was covered. We are not local to the Hilton Head area so we met with Alan a few times over the phone to iron out last minute details and song choices. Alan was definitely an expert and gave great advice on song choices for every aspect of our wedding (cocktail hour and reception), while still allowing us to pick our songs and honored our no-play list. He met our expectations and more! Our guests commented several times on how great the music was, and for all ages! We would highly recommend using DJ Alan for your event!
Response from the Vendor on 08/21/2020
Thank you so much Chelsea. We were honored to be a small part of your special day.
My husband and I worked with Bill West and he was WONDERFUL. Super easy to work with, completely understood the vibe of our wedding and made sure the crowd was dancing ALL NIGHT LONG. Highly recommend!
We had DJ Bill West and his wife, MJ, ran our photo booth. Both were incredibly sweet, detailed and had smiles on all night. They were very kind to all of my guests, arrived on time, and stayed a little after hours and chatted. Almost every song I wanted was played and all of my important song requests were accurate and smooth. The sound system was right on point and the photo booth was a hit with my crowd. Overall, incredible duo and working with Hilton Head to coordinate was pretty easy!
We hired the band, OCD, through Hilton Head Entertainment. They were a highlight of the night! So much energy and amazing hits- we (and our guests) loved it. Would highly recommend. HHE was also very responsive and easy to work with, which was key for us, as we were having a destination wedding. Thank you to Todd, HHE, and OCD.
Alan with Hilton Head Entertainment (HHE) did a fantastic job for my wedding and reception! My Dad is a DJ and he knew what to look for in a DJ. Alan did a professional job because was very organized, used top quality DJ equipment and lights, and played the all of music that was requested. He is highly recommended by the local venues in Hilton Head. I want to mention his staff member, Jessica, who is very friendly and helpful also. I also wanted a photo booth and which HHE provided he did a great job too! My parents wanted nothing but the best for my fiancé and I and that is what we got! HHE deserves 5 stars!! I highly recommend hiring using Hilton Head Entertainment!
Hilton Head Entertainment made it so easy to book our DJ and ceremony music! We had DJ Alan for the reception and it was the best decision! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He listened to what I did not want played but also took requests from the guests! Our ceremony violinist was Cathy and although I did not get to meet her personally, the music was beautiful for our outdoor ceremony! Would highly recommend!
It was a pleasure working with Hilton Head Entertainment. They helped our wedding run smoothly and honestly, everything was PERFECT. We chose to work with Don Scott, and were very happy with him!
We had Alan as our DJ and he was wonderful! Very friendly and professional and he listened to all of our ideas and made them into a reality. He kept everyone entertained the whole night! We also had a harpist from Hilton Head Entertainment, Leslie, perform for our ceremony. The music was beautiful and charming and everyone really loved it.
I would highly recommend this company if you are getting married in the Beaufort County area!
Hilton Head Entertainment is amazing!! Our DJ, Alan, was so incredibly helpful from the moment we booked through our wedding weekend! He helped us pick out all our music and the entire day was perfect!! We will always book with HH Entertainment in the future!

Thank you for your kind words Kristin! It was a pleasure assisting you and we would love the opportunity to do so again in the future. All the best to Alex and yourself!
Jessica with HH Entertainment was great! She was very helpful in accommodating our needs and making the process painless. Jessica was always fast to respond to questions we emailed and I would highly recommend working with her and this company.
DJ Alan was FANTASTIC! He did our ceremony and reception music for our wedding at Honey Horn and he did a phenomenal job! We filled out a questionnaire and a week prior to the wedding went over all details on the phone. He gave us great advice for some timing of events during the reception and was beyond helpful! His style of DJ was perfect for us and by the end of the night with 150 people attending 95% of the people were dancing out on the dance floor!! Best night ever and best DJ!!!! Highly Recommend!
Hiring Craig to DJ our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our planning. Blindly hiring any vendor without seeing them in action first is a bit nerve wracking, but all doubts were off after the first phone call. He had such a good energy, helped me pull off a couple surprises for my husband, knew exactly the kind of vibe we were looking for, and let us DJ for a bit! Highly recommended, 200%!! Thanks Craig for an awesome time!!
We worked with DJ Alan and he did a great job! He was recommended to us by the Marriott Resort and Spa. We worked with Alan over the phone and through email leading up to the day of our wedding. He was extremely accommodating to everyone and really made the day about us. You could really tell he was there to make our wedding the best day of our lives and he did an excellent job to make that happen!!
Our experience with Hilton Head Entertainment was wonderful. Jessica was so professional, prompt, and helpful. We met her early on during wedding planning and she helped us pick the perfect DJ for our wedding reception. DJ Bill was a huge hit at our wedding in Beaufort, SC. He played a wide variety of music and got everyone out on the dance floor. Everyone kept raving about how much fun we had dancing and how amazing the DJ was! Highly recommend Hilton Head entertainment and DJ Bill!!!!
Wow, everyone from Hilton Head Entertainment made our day so easy. They helped created an awesome party too! We hired a violinist and cello for our beach ceremony and cocktail hour. Unfortunately I spent much of that time really focused on getting married and then taking pictures, but our guests said they were wonderful and really enjoyed the music. We hired DJ Alan for remainder of the night. He kept the party alive, and he even taught my group how to do the electric slide. Our guests, old and young, gave us handfuls of compliments about the music.
We started the process about 6-8 months out from the wedding for a Saturday Fall wedding. I filled out a questionnaire for both the classical musicians and DJ Alan, and had 2 phone appointments with DJ Alan prior to our wedding. The whole process was very easy. They did not try to up sell us on additional lighting, etc. and respected our budget. I would highly recommend DJ Alan and Hilton Head Entertainment!
Andy was great! He was able to keep our guests on the dance floor all night. We all had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better DJ.
Outstanding. Don did a great job playing the music everyone wanted to hear and entertaining our family and friends
Highly recommend
DJ Craig Edelson and Jessica Jameson at Hilton Head Entertainment were absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding day music and entertainment! Jessica Jameson was very informative throughout the entire planning process, always promptly answered any emails, and the website made everything easy to plan out.
DJ Craig thanks for everything on the wedding day, the song selection from Cocktail Hour throughout the Reception was excellent and everything we asked for, you really got our friends and family up and dancing. Thank you again for providing great entertainment to help make our wedding day an unforgettable one!
Additionally, we hired Reid Richmond and honestly, we don't know where to start with your review... you were outstanding and provided such a great atmosphere for our wedding weekend welcome party! You were the perfect complement for our party and our guest had so many compliments about your song selection! He was at the venue early, set up and started without me even directing him and played throughout the entirety of the party, it was amazing! Reid was great to work with and we highly recommend him! Thanks again for providing nonstop great music for our party!
Overall, Hilton Head Entertainment is an A++ and we would highly recommend working with them!
We absolutely LOVED David Kimbell and his string trio for our wedding! They were beyond what we could have ever imagined and created such beautiful ambiance for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you for everything you've done to make our day so special.
I booked 3 different artists through HHE and would recommend 2 of the 3. I will review each of them separately. However, given that one of my artists did not show up on the wedding day, I would not recommend HHE. I would recommend contacting and booking the artists directly.

Hilton Head Entertainment is deeply sorry and saddened that you did not receive the violin music that you had contracted for your special day. When the violinist did not arrive (the musician mistakenly went to the wrong venue), we were thankfu...
l that the cocktail hour musician was there and able to play for your ceremony. At Hilton Head Entertainment, it is our goal to only book the most reliable musicians for weddings, and we are so very sorry that this happened on your wedding day. We have taken extra steps to ensure that this will not happen to any future events.
Although we know it does not change what happened on your wedding day, we hope that you will accept the return that was mailed to you and your family last week, along with our sincerest apologies.
A huge thank you to both Jessica and DJ Bill West from Hilton Head Entertainment! Jessica was my initial contact with Hilton Head and answered every inquiry I had timely and was absolutely great to work with. She connected me with DJ Bill West for my wedding ceremony and reception music and we couldn't be happier with the end result. We were sent questionnaires for both the ceremony and reception, and we were very detailed with our responses. We had pretty particular music choices/styles we wanted played for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and DJ Bill West delivered exactly what we asked for. Guests were up and dancing immediately, and stayed on the dance floor all night! Our venue is unique in that the dance floor and eating area are separate, so DJ Bill West provided extra speakers so that music could be heard in both areas. We highly recommend Hilton Head Entertainment!
We met with Alan about a month prior to the wedding to go over what we wanted and he was amazing. We told him we just wanted people on the dance floor and whatever it took to make that happen we were ok with. We are so glad we let Alan do his thing! Within two songs he was orchestrating a dance off that got the last few seated guests up on their feet and on the dance floor. He did an outstanding job of blending songs together to keep the night moving. Alan also helped edit our dance songs to about 2:30 minutes. We highly recommend him! We can see why he is the best on the island!!!
Cathy and Jamie were both amazing. Cathy played through another venues music without hesitation And Jamie nailed our reception music choices without question. Jessica was amazing with getting all contracts together. All in all an amazing experience.
Thank you so much to DJ Alan and Violinist Cathy! You really made our wedding amazing! I am SO happy we went with Hilton Head Entertainment. Alan took so much time to get to know us and learn what we like. It really paid off on the day of our wedding! All of our guests danced all night and didn't want the party to stop. Thank you for all of your thoughtful suggestions and ideas. You were both wonderful! We wish we could do it all over again with you!
DJ Alan was wonderful! He did the music for our ceremony and reception...everything was seamless! He was attentive, easy to work with, his detail he put into the music picks was spot on. He got the crowd out there dancing and played music for everyone! I would highly recommend him to everyone for your wedding!
We worked with David Kimbell for our ceremony and DJ Alan for our reception, and both were amazing! The ceremony music was exactly what we requested and it blended nicely with the overall theme of our wedding. Alan did an excellent job as DJ and MC, making sure our selection of songs during the reception flowed, and was very accommodating to all of our last-minute requests. Jessica is very easy to work with and was very quick to respond to our emails. We would definitely recommend Hilton Head Entertainment and both David Kimbell and DJ Alan for musical entertainment for a wedding or any other event!
DJ Alan and our violinist (Na) did an amazing job.
DJ Alan was just downright fantastic. He was super personable and a great MC for the wedding. I would recommend Alan to anyone.
I don't even know what to say.. DJ Alan was the absolute best.
We are from St. Louis, MO. and had to do most of the planning from out of state for our wedding on May 13th 2017. Alan worked with us every step of the way to make sure that our ceremony and reception went exactly as we planned. Even in the face of inclement weather, Alan was extremely professional and tweaked his setup to fit perfectly..
If you're in the market for a Master of Ceremonies, and DJ Alan truly is a master of his craft, I can assure you there is no one better suited for the job. Thank you Alan, and thank you Hilton Head Entertainment for your help making our wedding perfect!
DJ Alan and this company were wonderful and I highly recommend them. Jessica, the coordinator behind the scenes of the company, made sure everything was organized, certain songs were in the line up etc. The day of the wedding DJ Alan provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Everyone was dancing and there was a spectacular mix of music. He is definitely the DJ you want!
I would highly recommend working with Hilton Head Entertainment. We worked with DJ Jamie Rosen and he did not disappoint! Jamie was very thorough in making sure all of our song requests were met and making sure the timeline was on schedule. We had so much fun, we even extended the evening an extra hour and Jamie was able to accommodate us. If you are looking for a fun and professional DJ, Jamie is a must!
DJ Alan definitely lived up to the hyped reviews. He was wonderful at our wedding ceremony and reception. I gave him a list of "must plays" and he filled in the songs perfectly. Thanks for a great experience!
We worked with Jessica to hire ceremony musicians and a reception DJ. She was so helpful and her suggestions for each were great! We used Cathy Klimoff for a violin/cello duo during the ceremony, and I wish I could've personally thanked her, but I wasn't able to immediately before or after the ceremony. They were lovely!
For the cocktail hour and reception, we hired DJ Alan. He did a great job with transitions, and a few last-minute changes to the order of events (i.e., someone else wanted to speak, and a special announcement for my grandmother). He was very flexible, and able to keep people on the dance floor!
We used Hilton Head Entertainment for a harp during our wedding ceremony. I felt like the price was right and the sound was amazing. Leslie was our harpist and did an excellent job. Unfortunately I never spoke with her because she was already set up and playing when I arrived at the venue and by the time pictures were over, she had left. She did an excellent job and I would recommend her to anyone. I cannot say enough about the sound of the ocean mixed with the lovely sound of the harp. It was beautiful.
Hilton Head Entertainment was wonderful! We worked with Jessica to book a DJ and ceremony musicians for our April 2017 wedding.
Bill West, the DJ, was fantastic! Very nice, and he played a wide selection of music that got everyone onto the dance floor.
Our ceremony musicians were also wonderful- I have to give a special mention to Dave Kimbell, who played the cello/violin and ukulele - he worked closely with me to ensure that our favorite songs could be played during the ceremony, and he also accompanied a soloist who sang for us.
We asked DJ Alan Palchak to provide both ceremony and reception music and he did a fantastic job!!! All the music and transitioning was done seamlessly and he was also a great MC. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night as well. We heard nothing but great things about DJ Alan before booking him and it was absolutely true! Both DJ Alan and Jessica from Hilton Head Entertainment were prompt to answering any questions and made sure everything was in order prior to the big day!
Working with Hilton Head Entertainment and DJ Andy was fabulous. DJ Andy made sure that our wedding day ran seamlessly. He was in communication with us constantly; checking in during the wedding day to make sure things were going as planned and ensuring that everyone was having a great time on the dance floor all night long. DJ Andy made our wedding day entertainment perfect - from beach wedding music to the last dance. We'd highly recommend him!
Our entertainment included Cathy Klimoff violin duo for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by Jamie Rosen as our DJ for the reception. The violin duo was soothing and elegant, the guests loved them. Jamie Rosen was flexible and patient with my likes and dislikes of music and put together a playlist for guests of all ages to enjoy. Thank you to Jessica of HHE for connecting us with Cathy & Jamie as they were a stellar part of our wedding day!
Thanks DJ Alan! You rocked our wedding. - Danyelle Barrow :)
DJ Alan, was perfect. He made our wedding day more special then we could have imaged. We had several calls with DJ Alan prior to our wedding to make sure everything was in order. He guided us with some of our song choices. We are still getting compliments about music. We would highly recommend hiring DJ Alan for your next event!!
A string duo was booked through Hilton Head Entertainment to play at this outdoor wedding. The music was soft and beautiful. The ceremony would not have been as memorable without Cathy Klimoff & company's talent.
DJ Alan was the best DJ I have ever seen.
We spoke a few weeks before the wedding and went through all the details and special requests that we had. Alan made sure to have all of the songs that we wanted (even a completely random Wrestling Theme Song!). Throughout the night he played great music - even the staff couldn't resist from dancing! At any point if there were special requests they would immediately be the next song. I cannot say enough great things - book him for your wedding!!!
The art of being a DJ is often underestimated, but Alan Palchak is a master. From a great job blending the ceremony music with the our tastes, to knowing exactly how to progress the night to keep our guests happy and dancing... On top of all that, he was an excellent MC. If you're looking for somebody to play music, hire your cousin with an iPod, if you want perfection on your big day, get DJ Alan.
