We can't thank Rick enough for everything he did for our wedding, from answering constant questions, to helping us with the timeline, to just being a great DJ and person on our wedding day. Rick asked us what type of music we wanted and we wer...
e lost, but he guided us along the way, and he delivered a great up-beat party that kept the dance floor as full as it could be during a pandemic. He was very open about where he would set up and still did an amazing job while be stuck behind the bar due to spacing limitations. He even helped in ways we never expected a DJ to help, from making sure everything was moving well to simply making sure our glasses were always full and even carrying Kelsey's food to the table so she didn't accidentally get anything on herself. We couldn't have picked a better DJ or person for our day. Rick is awesome and I couldn't recommend him enough.
We had the pleasure of working with Grant which was fantastic! He let us pretty much lay out our entire playlist and then added in some really fun songs that kept everybody out on the dance floor! We can't thank him enough!
DJ Dixon was beyond amazing! From the planning to the day of coordination down to the last song he played, he was nothing short of fantastic. He made the process so easy for us and exceeded our expectations. The ceremony was flawless and the re...

lly helped us personalize our wedding and make it the wedding of our dreams. He really incorporated our non traditional wedding reception songs at the perfect times and even gave one of our guests a mic to sing to a song (at our request) .
We were married at Cincinnati Museum Center and we hired Horizon Entertainment to do our wedding. When we were vetting DJs for our event, we originally talked with the owner, Rick, about our event and he provided us with a great deal of confide...
nce that his team would be perfect for our event. For the actual event, Noah, was our DJ.
We got married in the Grand Rotunda of Cincinnati Museum Center, which is a large, domed room which can be a problem for sound projection and echo. We were aware of this before our event and in talking with Rick during the vetting process, he assured us that he did not see this as a concern and he would be able to handle any space like this with the equipment that his company has and would be able to direct the sound appropriately to eliminate any potential issues. We even discussed with Noah in the weeks before the wedding the fact that we were concerned with the potential for echo or poor sound quality and we wanted to make sure that he was prepared for the space, since it is definitely not the same as a basic reception hall. Noah did not seem overly concerned, but he didn't project much confidence either.
On the day of our event, we found that it was virtually impossible to hear people speaking during speeches, or any announcements from the DJ, unless they were seated directly in-line with his speakers. We didn't realize this, however, until it was too late. Probably only about half of our guests were able to hear the toasts from the best man and maid of honor, or anything else that was said over the microphone after the ceremony. Additionally, we created a list of "Must Play" (probably about 8 songs) and "Do Not Play" songs through Horizon's website, but we found as the night was winding down that a bunch of our must play songs had never been played. We went up to Noah and specifically asked to play a handful of these songs, which he did, but it was disappointing that we had to go up and request them after putting them in the "Must Play" list ahead of the wedding.
We were a little disappointed overall with Horizon for our wedding. We stressed on numerous occasions, almost to the point that I felt like I was being overbearing, about our concerns for the sound quality in the room we were in. We received plenty of assurances that there wouldn't be a problem, but at the end of the day, it was a problem still.
Taking away the unique design of the room and the fact that it would be more difficult to project sound effectively in the space, it was disappointing to have to go up and request songs to be played that were added to a "Must Play" list.
There are plenty of glowing reviews of Horizon online, which is part of the reason why we chose them, so maybe we just got unlucky and you'll have a better experience with a different DJ from their team, or in a different venue, but we left a little bummed out with how things went.
Rick was the best DJ we could have asked for. He worked with us very well in organizing what we needed due to all the restrictions. He was incredibly considerate of what we wanted and gave us exactly what we wanted.
What a great night with Rick! He adapted very well to our crowd and a couple of odd requests. We had such a blast and he was a huge asset to such a memorable night. I would recommend him for any wedding or event!
I'm a Cincinnati wedding coordinator and I had the pleasure of working with Rick at a wedding this past weekend on 10/17/20. Not only was he very professional and helpful, he was extremely organized which helped to keep everything on track. Ric...

Horizon Entertainment was absolutely amazing to work with during hectic wedding planning and a global pandemic. Rick was the utmost professional who made everything flow smoothly from the start of the planning process to the very last dance. C...
hoosing music off of Horizon’s website was fun. It was easy to create our request list and the special details of our day when it was convenient for us. From the moment Rick met us at the reception door, I was able to relax and enjoy our guests. Rick had food ready for us upon arrival, carried my plate, and kept the day moving smoothly. I am sure a million questions came up, but he handled them all and I was able to fully enjoy our big day. Even with COVID regulations, Rick came up with fun and innovative ways to keep our guests in the spirit. We had a Battle of the College Fight Songs instead of a dollar dance and raised $350 for charity. Brian and I truly felt taken care of and had a worry free reception with Rick in charge.
Rick was amazing from before the wedding all the way through the reception. Really took control of things with the photographer and everyone involved to make sure it was perfect. He even offered to wrangle my bride who was working the room whil...
e I ate. Made sure our drinks were full and we had everything we needed. Really took a lot of our plate and helped make the day perfect.
Grant Anderson was our DJ, and he did an incredible job! He was professional, punctual, personable, entertaining, and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking through Horizon Entertainment.
We were so thankful for how Dustin helped us plan, execute and most importantly ENJOY the reception. All our guests repeated how great he was at keeping the flow of the event on track and getting everyone out on the dance floor to have FUN! Loo...
king back now, selecting Horizon Entertainment turned out to be one of our favorite wedding planning choices. I highly recommend them!
Rick was an outstanding mc/ dj for my daughter’s wedding!!!! He was extremely courteous but kept the process moving and, speaking of moving, I’ve never been to a reception that had so many happy people on the dance floor! From start to finish ...
Rick was on top of the event and helped make our family’s special night spectacular!
Rick was absolutely hands down one of the best parts of our wedding day on October 12th. From the moment we met him, my husband, Will, and I knew that we needed him to DJ our wedding. Rick was so professional and very responsive throughout the ...
whole wedding planning process. At our finalization meeting, he asked all the right questions and made sure everything was covered so that he could help to bring our vision to life. The day of the wedding, he was amazing. He checked in on me, my husband, and our bridal party and made sure that we were having the best time. Our dance floor was packed all night thanks to him and the way that he was able to read the room. Seriously, hire these guys! You will not regret it!!
Grant was extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. He made planning for my daughter’s wedding easy and stress-free. The ceremony and reception were simply perfect. We would not change a thing. Thank you Horizon Entertainment for making...
our daughter’s wedding unforgettable and truly magnificent.
Rick at Horizon Entertainment was absolutely amazing. He was extremely nice, informative and helpful throughout the whole planning process. He did everything he said he would do and more! We never felt like we had a need for anything because he...
was right there to assist with things from helping the wedding planner to refilling our glasses without us even having to ask and everything in between. He really wanted us to feel like it was our day and he did everything in his power to make that a reality. Even saving the day to fix the bistro lights in the tent! We would recommend his services to anyone who asks!
Rick Pate is an excellent choice for music at an event. I've been to events where he has chosen the music and ones where a couple has chosen the music. He has a great personality so he makes the event serious and/or fun. I love his personali...
ty and enthusiasm. He will be out there if that is needed or behind the scenes. He's a great choice and I've enjoyed listening to him and his music.
As a wedding coordinator I work with many different DJs around the tri-state. However, every single client that uses this DJ ALWAYS remembers & talks about what an amazing time they had and how fun the music was that night. Rick goes out of his...
way to not only customize a package for each individual client, but to also put a personal touch on each experience as well. I've even seen him getting his clients their drinks. At the last wedding that Rick and I worked together on, the client had purchased Bistro lights that unfortunately stopped working right before the cocktail hour. With Rick's quick thinking and ingenuity we were able to get these lights up and running just before the reception began. He saved the day and the clients were incredibly & blissfully happy. I highly recommend this DJ
Rick was amazing! He was very professional every time we met prior to the wedding. He is extremely passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. He did a fantastic job at our wedding and catered to everything that we needed and we cou...
ldn't be happier to have him be our DJ.
Everyone should have Rick as their DJ!
Rick did an amazing job! He is an excellent DJ! He did exactly what we wanted, and made sure everything ran smoothly! Would definitely recommend!!
We used Horizon Entertainment for our day of coordinator and we could not be happier! Narnia is absolutely amazing! She met with us multiple times prior to the wedding to make sure our vision was perfectly executed. She responds to emails and t...

Rick did an amazing job at our wedding! He coordinated the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner perfectly even though he had to switch locations within the venue to accommodate our cocktail hour and room flip. He certainly kept the...
dance floor packed all night and made sure to play all of our favorite songs. Rick is more than a DJ, as he goes above and beyond, helping with pictures, wedding flow, and even making sure we had drinks in our hands the entire night. He is extremely attentive to detail and ended up meeting with us twice prior to the wedding to ensure our wishes were met. We would absolutely recommend him to our closest friends!
Grant was wonderful to work with. From our planning meeting to the reception, Grant made everything easy for us. We were very lucky to have him as part of our reception.
Grant from Horizon Entertainment was a pleasure to work with! He was very easy to communicate with in the planning stages and made sure everything went well on the big day. We pretty much gave him full reign on the music and he knew exactly how...
to get people out on the dance floor and keep them going! He also helped us pull off a surprise birthday song and cake for the Best Woman!
I have used Horizon Entertainment for several events. The DJ's have done a great job accommodating the groups interest and needs. They are prompt and friendly. I heartily recommend them for any event.
Dustin was professional, friendly, organized and dependable. He helped make my my big day absolutely perfect and also helped keep my rehearsal running smoothly. Highly recommend!
Rick was fantastic! Knowing he was there to help make the day better put us at ease. He definitely knocked the party out of the park!
Grant did a wonderful job with setup and reading our ceremony and reception! My husband and I are a little picky with those typical wedding songs and Horizon’s song select process allowed us to choose which songs we absolutely had to hear and t...
hose we could do without.
We are still having friends and family compliment us on our entertainment pick for the wedding and Horizon was perfect for us.
Rick was so professional, and so much more than a DJ! He made sure we never went without drinks and kept the ball rolling with the music to ensure we kept our time frame. Great price and outstanding service!!
Grant was so great to work with! He kept the energy up and got our guests out on the dance floor. The whole reception went smoothly. So glad we had such a knowledgeable, personable DJ for our wedding ☺️
My husband and I are so glad to have trusted Horizon Entertainment with our wedding day! They went above and beyond our expectations- from the first meeting we had with Rick to the day of our wedding with Grant. Any questions that we had along ...
the way were answered quickly. When we met with Grant to plan out our ceremony and reception he made everything so easy. He was accommodating when we decided to add uplighting within the last couple weeks and arrived in a timely manner to be prepared! We are grateful that the entire day went so smoothly and that Horizon made that possible! My husband and I were most interested in having a great time at our reception and Grant exceeded our expectations. I will be recommending Horizon to all of my family and friends!! Thank you Rick and Grant for being so great!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rick with Horizon Entertainment. From my first interaction with him, he was professional, accommodating, and very pleasant. Over the course of the wedding planning process, he was very responsive with ...
questions and was flexible in happily allowing us to add lighting to our package on short notice. We knew we were in good hands after our meeting with Rick prior to our wedding, and this took a huge weight off of our shoulders. At the wedding, Rick was much more than "just a DJ." He made sure the night went smoothly, from refilling our drinks, checking on guests, keeping us on schedule with our itinerary (and making adjustments as necessary) and much more. He was also an amazing DJ! Rick kept everyone on the dance floor, and so many of our guests specifically commented on how great he was. We would not hesitate to recommend Horizon Entertainment to our friends and family. To all those considering- you will not regret having them be a part of your special day!
Rick is just awesome! From the planning meeting until the last dance, Rick poured his heart into making our wedding reception and dance far exceed our expectations
I highly recommend Horizon Entertainment. We had Grant as our DJ this last weekend and he did a great job making sure the night went smoothly. He went above and beyond the typical DJ role. He met with us twice prior to the wedding day to explai...
n services and get an idea of what we wanted for the big day. On the day of the wedding he frequently checked on the bridal party, walked us through what to do, coordinated with other vendors, and helped to ease some of my stress by taking care of things that needed to be done. This was a valuable aspect that I do not think a lot of DJs would take the time or make the effort to do! We also heard several compliments from our guests!
BEST DJ!!! From our first planning meeting with Rick, we knew we made the right decision hiring him! Rick went above and beyond for us and was so friendly and professional! All of our guests have made compliments on how great the dance floor wa...
s all night! From a bride and groom aspect, Rick went the extra mile to make the ceremony and reception run smoothly!
The ceremony was in a garden with no outlets and Rick worked with us so music could play for our processional and recessional. There were multiple songs that we had incorporated to the ceremony and all cues were met and the sound volume was perfect.
Our reception was at Rhinegeist Brewery and from the beginning of the dancing to the end (3.5 hours) it was filled!!! We had a 28 person head table and, throughout the entire dinner, Rick was making sure everyone had drinks and made sure everyone was doing well! He didn’t just make us feel very special but made the whole bridal party feel special which we loved! He made sure to keep on eye on us and get us back on the dance floor throughout the night too! We had brought glow sticks that we didn’t realize needed to be assembled so Rick and my husband put together about 200 glow sticks! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
We promise hiring Horizon Entertainment will be one of the best decisions for your wedding day! Thank you for everything Rick!!!!
Grant was our DJ for our wedding and i couldn't have chosen any better. He made our wedding day so special and made everything flow so smoothly. I highly recommend using horizon entertainment. You will be so happy you did!
Grant did an amazing job at our wedding this summer. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a DJ that is professional and hardworking, Grant is your guy
Rick was so amazing to work with! As soon as we sat down for our first meeting, I was certain we met the perfect DJ. He was always so quick to respond to any questions we had and was extremely flexible throughout the entire process. The online ...
system made planning our reception music a breeze. It allowed us to put in song requests, which made us certain our reception music with reflect my husband and I as a couple. Rick was able to get everyone out on the dance floor and make them stay there. I am so glad we went with Horizon Entertainment for our wedding!
We had Grant as our DJ and we had an absolutely amazing time. He made sure that we felt comfortable from the planning process all the way to the day of the wedding. We entrusted Grant with everything at the reception and he went above and beyon...
d that. He kept us informed of what was going on, he played great dance songs, and even helped with little reception details along the way. I could not have asked for a better reception and I feel like I owe a lot of that to Grant and the Horizon team. Thanks for going above and beyond!
Grant was AWESOME! The music was amazing and all of our guests were out on the dance floor all night. Grant also did a great job making sure my husband and I were on schedule and also having a perfect time. We met with him a few weeks before an...
d laid out some songs that were a must for us and others that we definitely did not want played. Overall, Grant was great and I would recommend him to anyone for any event!
We are so happy we picked Horizon Entertainment for our reception! The company is super affordable and we were very impressed with the entire experience! From the very first meeting with Rick, we knew he was extremely knowledgeable in music and...
ready to help make our night the most special time. He made us feel so comfortable and he was so easy to work with. He listened to all our requests and made sure any concerns we had were taken care of. He reviewed our songs beforehand and helped us talk through any we may be missing for the age ranges of our guests. Throughout the night, he made sure both me and my husband had everything we needed (food and drinks) and kept the reception light and fun. I would highly recommend Horizon Entertainment & Rick as the DJ!!
My husband and I loved Horizon Entertainment! The pricing was reasonable and straightforward. From the start, Rick was personable, professional, and knowledgeable. On the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor full all night long, graciou...
sly offered to grab food and drinks for my husband and I throughout the night, and worked splendidly alongside our event coordinator and other vendors to create an unforgettable evening. We received several compliments after the wedding regarding the DJ. Overall, we could not have been more pleased with our experience.
We loved working with Grant! We met about two weeks before our wedding to go over a lot of details, and the day of was perfection. He played prelude and introduction music for our ceremony, and then kept the music going all night long through o...
ur reception and dance party! A special touch was the anniversary dance, where we had 3 couples with over 50 years of marriage left on the dance floor! They all gave us advice on having a long and happy marriage. The Horizon website is easy to use and made it simple to request songs and share the wedding day timeline. Would hire again!
Rick was awesome! He made sure that all of our questions were answered quickly throughout the planning process, and he was so helpful the night of our wedding. He made sure our special dances went off without a hitch, and always made sure we ...
were taken care of. He even brought us drinks when they were empty, and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. I would definitely recommend again and again!
Grant was THE BEST!! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He made everything so easy and we got so many compliments from our guests about how good the music was. During our consultation with Grant...
, one thing we made clear was that it was important that our music wasn't too loud so that the people who don't dance were able to have conversation. The volume was perfect and we didn't have to ask him to adjust at all. Our grandparents all made comments about how nice it was that the music was not too loud. Grant kept the party going and cleared it with us if our friends had ridiculous requests. He checked in with us throughout the night and even got us drinks several times, which was so thoughtful and not something we would expect a DJ to even worry about! Other than being great at his job, Grant is so friendly and down to earth. You would be crazy not to go with Horizon Entertainment for your event. The quality you get for the value is unbelievable! Thank you for making our wedding day so fun Grant!
Rick and his team did such a great job helping my husband out through the entire process of planning our wedding to the final day! Rick was always available to answer any of our questions and the online form made it easy for our requests to be ...

Grant was our DJ - who we were able to skype with prior to the wedding to work out details - He did a great job the day of by keeping things moving and playing great music to keep everyone moving.

Rick was AMAZING!! He definitely made our day magical. From the first time we met with him, we knew Horizon Entertainment would be the finishing touch to our perfect day. There was a chance of rain on our wedding day. When Rick came to check on...
the decision to keep the ceremony outside or move it in, he was very sweet. He reassured us, either way it would be beautiful! He brought our bridal party a drink before the ceremony and the awesome service continued through out the night. The music was amazing and he kept us on track to have the night of our lives. Thank you so much!
Dave was fantastic! From our first meeting, he was so personable and wonderful to work with. Horizon Entertainment has a great online request system that we and our guests were able to use, and Dave accommodated the requests and kept our gues...

Corey was a fantastic DJ, but not just that, he was so helpful in planning our perfect reception! Both my husband and I were clueless about planning a reception, but Corey gave us a lot of ideas, direction, and support in putting together a gre...
at timeline. The flow of the night was perfect. Corey played all of the songs we requested and kept everyone on the dance floor. He even carried my plate as I walked through the buffet! We could not have had such a seamless, perfect night without his support. Very professional, responsive, and a GREAT price. Definitely recommend using him!
Grant was a pleasure to work with! He made it easy to enjoy our day and relax about the timeline. He was very professional and attentive. We really couldn't have expected anything better than what Horizon provided us with. Highly recommend!!
Corey did a fantastic job. I thought the DJ would show up and play music, but he did so much more than that. He made sure our reception stayed on track with our schedule, ensuring everything (bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc.) occurred before ou...
r photographer left. He would come find us and let us know how much time until the next event was happening. He walked through the dinner line with me (bride) and made my plate to ensure I wouldn't spill anything on my dress (I didn't ask him to do this). He got us drinks throughout the night. He suggested we get sunset pictures outside, which turned out great. Corey went well above my expectations for a DJ service. I would highly recommend Horizon Entertainment for a wedding reception.
Horizon entertainment and my DJ Grant were awesome! We met with Grant about 2 weeks before the wedding and we were at ease from the moment we met. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and really cares about making your day perfect! Also...
, their wedding planning website is amazing!! You can allow guests to submit requests, make your playlist, and write a schedule of events. So easy to use! Wonderful company!
Corey from Horizon Entertainment was the DJ for our wedding, and he could not have done a better job. The music was perfect, and our dance floor was always full. He took all of our input leading up to the wedding, using the playlist we had made...
, and incorporating similar style songs. Although we had laid out a time line before the wedding, he still quietly appeared by our sides when we had a free moment to double check if we were okay with proceeding as planned. He went above and beyond the expected role of a DJ. He brought us drinks when we were too caught up in the day's activities to make it over to the bar, and he encouraged us to take the time to enjoy our dinner. He communicated well with the other vendors to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. We would absolutely use Horizon Entertainment again and highly recommend them. Thanks Corey!
We had the best experience! Our reception was amazing the music was great and the dance floor was packed the whole time! They also did an amazing job throughout the night making sure everything ran extremely smoothly ! Awesome awesome !!!
Horizon Entertainment was great to work with. We were able to request songs that we wanted to play beforehand as well as letting our guests request certain songs, and the audio sounded great. Rick was a pleasure to work with, he was willing to ...
help us out with anything we needed whether it was keeping us informed of what we should be doing at what time so we didn’t have to worry about it, or helping me (the bride) get food. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Our guests had a great time, and were on the dance floor until the last song.
Horizon Entertainment was a great company to work with for our wedding, both ceremony and reception. I met with Corey who was friendly and really sold me on going with them as our DJ. Horizon Entertainment doesn't have any of those added charge...
s to "upgrade" your DJ and they don't charge you per hour. Ultimately, Rick ended up DJing our ceremony and wedding. He was great. He met with us before the wedding to go over everything and talk about any concerns. He was fantastic during the reception and made sure the whole evening stayed on track which was awesome because the big day can be a bit chaotic to say the least. I would highly recommend Horizon Entertainment. They are awesome DJs/guys for half the price of other companies out there - other companies that just seem to want to nickel and dime you to a ridiculous level. I would hire Horizon again in a heartbeat.
My husband and I chose to go with Horizon Entertainment after doing some thorough research in the Cincinnati/Dayton area. They already had the best reviews and we decided they also had the best pricing. They were worth every penny. David was ou...
r DJ and he did his job superbly. We lived out of town from where we were getting married and David did a face time meeting with us since we couldn't go to him. He asked us all the right questions and went above and beyond my expectations. We had a lot of family and family friends at our wedding that were close to my parents age and he had them out on the dance floor the WHOLE time! My dad even asked him to extend the music for another half hour just so we could party a little longer. David was on time, played the right music we had requested, and kept the reception activities flowing smoothly. I have zero complaints.
Corey was fantastic! He kept our reception moving from beginning to end. His online software is so easy to use to help build your dream reception. Not only is he one of the most affordable DJs in the area, but one of the very best! We will keep...
Horizon in mind for all our DJ needs in the future!
Rick from Horizon Entertainment DJ'ed our wedding ceremony and reception for us and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! I loved their online planning website, especially since I was planning our wedding from out of sta...
te. I was able to pick all the music for the ceremony and reception with ease and my guests were able to submit requests beforehand. Everything went smoothly and Rick kept the reception events on time and going strong, he played music that kept our guests on the dance floor until the very end of the reception. Everyone told us they had a fantastic time. I would definitely refer them to anyone planning a wedding who wants a fantastic DJ service! Also, they were extremely affordable and noticeably good at what they do. They made us feel important and not like we were just another wedding. Thanks Horizon Entertainment!!
Long review, I know, but consider the time it takes to read this as research. ANYONE who cares about music should read on...
From the start, my wife and I knew that the music was the most important thing about the reception, maybe even the ...
entire wedding. We were on a budget and didn't want to have to shell out top dollar for a few hours of music. We narrowed the field and interviewed several companies on The Knot website, including recommended and non-recommended. One of whom was Rick at Horizon Entertainment.
From the start he was nothing but professional, personable, and truly understood what we, the customer, required. Nothing but class, a great impression from the very beginning. You can tell he is someone who truly loves his job. We were torn between two companies, but one thing Rick said stood out to us: While he was just a DJ, he saw himself as a reception coordinator, because the last thing we would want to worry about is all the fuss the day of. This tipped the scales, we committed, and we never looked back. We followed up a few times as we had a lengthy engagement, and we met with him in person a second time about a month away from the event, just to tie up loose ends.
The website works well, and is set up similar to other companies, a must play, play if time, and do not play. Pretty self-explanatory. You specify which songs are "special", ie first dance, last dance, cutting cake, etc.
Rick stayed true to his promise. The reception coordinator seemed to drop the ball several times with little things, and Rick would frequently test the water to make sure A) We weren't freaking out and B) there wasn't anything he could do to make the night better. He would entertain the crowd, get us drinks, it was great. While we didn't want to take advantage of it too much, it was a nice option to have.
Oh, and then the music. We were left with about half the time available to play all of our must-play songs, but Rick planned ahead, seeing this dilemma, and did a great job transitioning between songs. To make up for time, he wouldn't play the song in its entirety. This gave a much more diverse song selection than it would otherwise, and kept things fresh. The last ten minutes felt like a frenzy, everyone was on the dance floor, and you could tell that Rick wanted to get as many songs in as possible! We must've flown through 8 songs! It was a great way to end it!
We received nothing but compliments about the DJ. The dance floor was packed all night long (not an exaggeration, believe me), the music flowed very well, and we got to hear nearly all of the songs on our list. He took every opportunity to let us enjoy the night by taking some stress away, and nothing but professional from start to end. A great last impression for our wedding guests.
I could not be happier with our choice in Horizon Entertainment. I received several quotes from various DJ's and I have to admit that I was skeptical because of the low price. I was blown away. The guys were so nice and answered any and all q...
uestions we had. They gave great suggestions and helped guide us through a reception timeline. Grant was our DJ and he was awesome and had everyone dancing! He played a great mix of something for everyone! Seriously this is a great choice!!
Corey was the best part of our reception! If you are looking for a professional and knowledgable DJ, consider Horizon Entertainment. He was very helpful with all of our questions and guided us through the planning and executing of the schedule ...
for our reception. My mom is still raving about him!
Truly, if you are looking for a great, budget friendly DJ, consider Horizon Entertainment. I would choose this vendor every time.
We would like to thank Horizon Entertainment for the excellent job they did for us as part of our 50th wedding anniversary celebration on October 25, 2014.
The company’s website proved to be a handy tool through which we were able to select...
the songs we wished to have played at our event and dedicate some to certain guests. We had picked several tunes that were not in their inventory, but our DJ was able to get them for us. The site also allows customers to plan the timeline of their event and indicate what activities should take place at certain times.
Kudos to Horizon Entertainment also on their staff. Our DJ met with us prior to our event, went over our song list and equipment needs, and on the night of our party came through on all the promises he made to us.
We rate Horizon Entertainment as excellent and recommend them to others who want great music at their event overseen by a dependable DJ team member. Thank you to Horizon for helping make our event enjoyable for all.

My fiance and I had Rick as our DJ from Horizon Entertainment. He was excellent. He was so comfortable on the microphone, kept the event moving, and did a great job with the music!
We left it up to Rick to choose music for the dancing porti...
on, and allowed guests to make requests, and he did a great job. He also did a great job interpreting our music taste during the dinner portion - all of our friends noted how great the music was. We love local music, and he took the time to find music from those lesser known artists - that type of personal attention was really great.
Rick was excellent, and we really enjoyed working with him!!
Corey was our DJ and he was excellent! We met once before the wedding and gave great suggestions. He met us as soon as we got out of the limo as kept everyone coordinated and timely to enter the reception. He was professional and provided jut t...
he right type of music for the atmosphere. There wasn't as much dancing as I expected and he adapted well and played more group dance songs to keep people on the dance floor. I could not be more happy with Corey and Horizon entertainment! Thanks so much guys!
We loved Horizon Entertainment! We were looking for a local down-to-earth DJ who we could trust with our wedding, and Rick and Corey were both great! We immediately hired Horizon after meeting Corey, who very professionally presented all of the...
options for our wedding and everything was so much more reasonably priced than all of the larger wedding DJ companies in the area. It was important to us to meet the DJ that would cover our wedding before the big day, and Rick met us at our convenience to discuss our song selection and to plan out the night. Rick did an amazing job helping us plan out the flow of the reception and keeping everything on schedule that night – we didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day! Rick did a great job keeping people on the dance floor with music that was loved by everyone! My husband and I highly recommend Horizon!
We were very impressed by Horizon Entertainments professional services for our daughters wedding.
Rick was fun, easy to work with, the wedding reception ran smoothly, Rick is adorable.

ad a blast thanks to Rick's great choice of music.
We have booked Rick again for our daughters wedding in Nov. 2015
We highly recommend Horizon Entertainment
Horizon Entertainment was extremely easy to work with. Our DJ, Grant, made our day so easy and fun! We were planning our wedding from out of town so we waited to have our meeting until 2 days before the wedding. Prior to this Grant emailed with...
Dan and talked to him on the phone. Dan's flight was delayed the day of our meeting and Grant was so patient with me walking me through our play lists and timeline and then even talking with Dan on the phone after he landed. We were able to make small changes up until the morning of the wedding through email and Grant made sure the day of that everything was exactly the way we wanted it! He was so flexible and laid back that it helped to relax us both. He really paid close attention to the crowd to keep the party going! We really enjoyed working with Horizon and Grant! We would definitely recommend them to anyone!
I am extremely happy with the professionalism, attitude, flexibility, responsiveness and overall experience working with Horizon Entertainment. I met with Corey in the initial meetings for DJ, MC and lighting services for my August 29th wedding...
and worked with Rick for our actual event and both immediately put me and my finacé at ease. Both Corey and Rick are very calm and supportive and throughout the process made sure that every question I had was answered quickly, all of my options were clear and that we were able to truly customize our event down to the littlest song or announcement. Also, Horizon uses an interactive client portal that allows you to add, request or avoid any song under the sun -- and if, like our event, you have a lot of specialized songs that are not in their huge library of track, Horizon will download or source them expressly for you. Rick served as our day-of coordinator and I could not be more grateful for his attentiveness and calming personality especially on what can be a stressful day. Prior to the start of the ceremony he shared the run of events and confirmed that every detail was to my liking and encouraged me to relax and enjoy myself; reassuring me that no matter what was to occur for the next few hours, he would take care of it. After having been so involved in the planning of my own wedding it meant the world to me for someone to execute every detail, be flexible with the changes in the day and allow me to actually experience my own event as a participant and not a planner. We reviewed several other DJs and MCs in the Cincinnati/Dayton Area and I can say that Horizon is absolutely the top choice for couples or planners who want attentive, professional, flexible partners that help make your ideas become a reality.
Grant was an awesome DJ to work with from Horizon Entertainment! I felt completely stress free when it came to working with him and during the time of my wedding when he was playing the music. He was extremely easy to work with and was very l...
aid back. I got several comments from guests at our wedding saying how much they liked him and there were even a few people that plan on booking him for their wedding. I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or needing a DJ for any event!!
Corey was amazing as a DJ. He went above and beyond his normal role as a DJ. Not only did he play amazing music and allow us to choose music, but he helped us create a timeline and was there to help with every step in the wedding. He walked ...
to every table calling them to the buffet, did a great job announcing the wedding party, showed us how to cut our cake, and helped in so many other ways. He truly made our wedding very special and organized. I would recommend him to anyone wanting an outstanding DJ.
I used Corey Wagonfield and Horizon Entertainment for my wedding on July 26, 2014. Both my husband and I were blown away by the caring nature and special touches Corey helped us add to the party!
He was very cooperative and anytime througho...
ut the night we needed a change, he just ran with the punches.
I always worried that the DJs would be pushy in that they would want to do things their way, but Corey was very flexible and added suggestions when he saw fit which were very helpful but for the most part let us do our thing.
On top of this, it wasn't expensive at all. Most other DJ's I interviewed in the Dayton/Cinci area were OVER THE TOP expensive. Corey and his gang seem to do this for the love of it and charge accordingly. You can tell they enjoy what they do.
It was the best night of my life and Horizon Entertainment most definitely was a huge part of that!
My husband and I were thrilled with the service we received from Horizon Entertainment. They are reasonably priced and were able to provide the music for both our ceremony and reception.
Their online event planning form and music request fo...
rm made planning our event so much easier. We could also submit requests for music if it was not on their extensive list of song choices.
Rick was our DJ and met with us a few weeks before our wedding to finalize all of our details. The event was perfect, and Rick was able to not only keep our wedding on schedule, but also keep our guests dancing all night. I cannot recommend Horizon Entertainment enough!
Corey took amazing care of us! He explained everything and was patient with us. He played all the music we wanted and took requests. I recommend Horizone for any bride and groom looking for a great dj at a great price!!!
Corey did an amazing job at our wedding. He did both our ceremony and reception music. His website made finding music for the ceremony so easy by showing the top songs people select and having a clip to listen to it. Most important was his p...
ersonal touch. He met with us several times and really helped make our wedding day personal. It was really important to us to include the songs that were meaningful to us into our day. We played these songs during cocktail and dinner hour but they are not your typical Top 40 songs. Corey played everything from Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra to The Airborne Toxic Event and Dashboard Confessional in seamless fashion and even went a step further by making the most perfect CD of those songs as our wedding favor. He kept the night moving at a great pace and helped us every step of the way. Even when we didn’t realize our first dance song was as long as it was and I gave him a look of “Help us- we’re done dancing!” He subtly faded out and moved things right along. Corey really made our night fantastic.
Very nice guys to work with and very helpful in the planning process. There was a technical glitch during one of our big dances, but on the other hand they were extremely flexible when we had some glitches of our own. They really were dedicated...
to making sure you enjoyed the night
Rick was our dj for our winter wedding. He was very professional and made sure everything ran smoothly. He also played a great variety of music for our guests and avoided songs we asked him not to play.
We really cannot say enough great things about our experience with Horizon. Rick was fantastic. He made the process stress free and easy. He understood what we wanted during our reception and performed excellently. Everyone that attended our re...
ception commented on our DJ. They loved the music and the experience. I would definitely recommend Horizon, and specifically Rick, for any occasion!
Rick from Horizon Entertainment was amazing! My husband and I could not have asked for better service. We had a lighting package included in our services. The music was fabulous and kept the party going all night! The service was very personal ...
and I felt like I had known Rick forever by then end of the reception! I recommend this DJ service to anyone!
Rick and Corey are very professional, polite, and friendly! They were extremely helpful in making our reception fun and energetic the whole night to keep our guests out on the dance floor. The planning process was easy with their website we use...
d to create our playlist for the night. We also had several songs that were not in their online database, but Horizons bought the songs and were able to incorporate them as we had planned. Rick, who was our DJ for the night, was able to be the host for the evening, make sure the "program" for the night ran soothly, and on time. He also made us feel very comfortable and made the night personable to us. My husband and I would highly recommend Horizon Entertainment to anyone and everyone because they are easy to work with and you definitely get your money's worth from these guys! Thank you Horizon Entertainment for making our night special and unique for us on the best night of our lives!
