Keith Christopher Entertainment Group

is when Keith played "Sweet Caroline" and ALL of our guests circled around us!! That was a lot of fun! We could not be happier with our choice of Keith Christopher Entertainment for our wedding! Thanks again Keith for such a memorable night!!

estions quickly. Great customer service. KC (the owner) was our DJ for the big day and he kept everyone dancing all night! We are still hearing great compliments on our wedding almost 5 months later and our DJ played a big part in that!

sonalities of the DJs could make or break how you work together. We went with Marty, who was great. The coordinator at the venue praised him as well, marveling at how good he was to work with. He read the crowd well and announced everything so people heard it (unlike some jumbled sounds you get at some events). He was great and came up a few times to make sure me and the groom had everything we needed and that we were enjoying the night. We have gotten great feedback from the wedding (it was pretty awesome overall) and everyone loved the music. Definitely a great find.

ut on the dance floor. They ask you how much DJ interaction you would like. Do you want little to no interaction, just play the music or do you want all out party atmosphere? I chose to let the DJ "feel out the crowd" and he was amazing! It was a great night!! I would definitely recommend them!

use it is true. "WE HAD THE BEST WEDDING." The dance floor was packed fromt the first song of the night to the last song of the night. People I have seen at the other weddings that didn't dance, danced all night long. All I can say is THANK YOU.

ry quickly. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed. We gave him our timeline, a list of some songs we wanted played (some we did not want played) as well as genres we liked and trusted him to do the rest on our big day. He did a great job. During the reception he kept us on track with timing, announcements, things like cutting the cake, etc. He was so polite and professional to both us and our guests. His coordinating the reception allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy ourselves without worrying about the flow of the evening. We also had the photo booth and uplights part of our package. These too were great add-ons and our guests loved them. I know the reason the dance floor was packaged all night is because of the music played by Keith. If you are looking for impeccable service – you found the right DJ for your upcoming event.

m out. Ten minutes into our first meeting we knew that we had found the right people. Day of - everything flowed smooth, they were very professional, THEY GOT EVERYBODY'S NAMES CORRECT. The people who generally do not dance... Danced, I couldn't believe it. All around a very good company, I highly recommend.

excited about what he does. We were contacted a couple days after the show and invited to a meet and greet. Michael was there along with several other DJs and the owner KC. Everyone seemed friendly and we had some good food and drinks. The meeting was at their showroom in Schaumburg and I must say I was really impressed. They showed us a photobooth, uplighting, and a really nice DJ system that sounded great. After talking to several DJs we met with Daryle and booked a Premier DJ Package along with a photobooth and selected Michael to be our DJ. Michael assisted us with every phase of our planning including helping us use their online planner. We were able to contact him whenever we wanted and he always responded within 24 hours. He helped us with our timeline and in selecting songs for introductions and for our garter and bouquet. He also made some great suggestions for cocktail and dinner music. After we completed our forms we came in for a final meeting to go over details and felt totally confident that we were going to have a great reception. We had Michael's phone number's and his email in case we needed to contact him about anything last minute. We did not need to talk to him about anything in that last 5 days but it was sure nice knowing that we could call or text him if we needed to contact him. When we arrived at our reception all of the DJ equipment and lights and the photobooth were set up. Music was already playing and Michael immediately came up and congratulated us. It was like seeing an old friend. He said he would stay in touch throughout the night to keep things on schedule and to enjoy the cocktail hour and pictures and that he would get everyone lined up just before 7:00 for introductions. Once we finished taking pictures and having a drink we were ready to be introduced. Michael lined us up and went over everyone's names as he put them in place and we could tell how many times he had done this before. He gave us some brief instructions and then went inside to begin announcing us. His introductions were amazing. As our parents and each couple were introduced it was really cool hearing everyone cheer. He built up the energy so much that by the time were introduced it was awesome. When the doors opened and we walked in it was amazing. It was the best feeling ever. We cut our cake and then it was time for our first dance. We had provided some information about us like how we met and where I proposed to my fiancee to Michael ahead of time. Before our first dance he did not just introduce us...he told the most romantic love story about us. It was really cool and then we danced to our song. Between the toasts and dances with our parents that we did during dinner Michael's skills as an MC really shined. He makes every feel special. After dinner we kicked off the dancing and the party rocked from the get go. We heard our requests and our guests were able to make requests and the dancefloor was packed all night. The photobooth was so fun and our friends loved it especially the fun sunglasses and hats. We could not have asked for a better night and I would recommend Michael as a DJ and Keith Christopher Entertainment for anyone's wedding.

choosing a DJ, as it is the one vendor you can't easily "see" their work. We could not have made a better choice! KCE provided the sound system for our outdoor wedding ceremony and the sound was awesome! The emceeing during the reception was great, and the dance floor was PACKED the entire time...we were even able to extend the dancing an extra half hour at no charge. You will not regret choosing Keith Christopher Entertainment!

ional, accommodating and super enjoyable to work with. They really made planning this portion of our wedding seem effortless. KC was extremely helpful in working with us to ensure our wedding day would be perfect--and he was VERY successful!!! His MC skills are phenomenal, especially with how he personalizes all the little details which makes a world of difference. And Daryl, his DJ, kept our guests dancing ALL night! We are beyond happy with KC and his crew. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. Also, I have attended quite a few of his Windy City Wedding Shows (Bridal expo & fashion show), and they are fantastic!! This is a great way to be introduced to him, his company and other vendors to plan the big day or any other event! Absolutely wonderful!!! No way you'll be disappointed.

ng. Our guests couldn't stop saying how great they thought the DJ was. He also listened to requests made by some of our guests and it was so fun. People were on the dance floor all night long! We are so happy with our choice to have Keith Christopher Entertainment Group DJ at our wedding, and I would recommend them to EVERYONE who hasn't booked their DJ yet!! They were great! - Newly Married

ay, they ensure that the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. For us, we had many foreign names in our wedding party, but they worked with us so they would correctly pronounce everyone's names. We were very happy! Our DJ and MC were professional and kept our guests happy. My uncles kept raving about how the DJ had an extensive selection of music - they were able to request all their favorite 70s and 80s songs! The DJ kept the guests dancing, and played the songs we requested. It was a blast! KC Entertainment is an excellent DJ business, and I cannot recommend them enough. They are professional, easy-going, polite, and fun!

a part of the higher package), since we had booked uplighting with them as well. We chose Daryle because we wanted a DJ who knew Spanish music. A couple weeks before the wedding as I was looking at our planning form online (which is set up very nicely) and it said our DJ had changed to Mario. I emailed and called Keith Christopher a few times and finally got clarification as to why that changed. Another couple had gotten a higher package and wanted to choose Daryle, so they were able to have him instead of us. I explained why I had been able to choose our DJ, but no comments were ever written down in our file about this and the person who had helped us had retired. Honestly, it was not a big deal because they found a DJ who also knew Spanish music, but I just wish I had been notified of the change instead of just coming across it on the planning website. I guess that was just some mix-up in communication. As for the actual services on our wedding day, the uplighting looked really nice (we had purple uplights) and our DJ did a fantastic job. Mario played slower and older songs at the beginning to get people dancing who might leave early. He also included quite a few Spanish songs and knew when to play them during the night. The last few hours really picked up with the music and a lot more people were on the dance floor. He also coordinated things very well with us for our dances, cake cutting, bouquet/garter tosses, etc. and always took cues from us. He played almost every song on our play list and read the crowd very well! He also helped me in the days before in coming up with songs to have for our slideshow and various parts of the reception, which helped me out a lot! I truly appreciate his hard work and felt that he really made our wedding that much more enjoyable! Bottom line: Great services for a very reasonable price, just make sure to get things in writing =P

DJ and he was phenomenal. He played everything on our must play list plus many more. He really read the crowd and the dance floor was filled the whole time. When he surprised us by having everyone serenade us with Sweet Caroline it was one of the best moments of the night. He was such a wonderful person to work with and we could not have asked for a better DJ.

rst dance song. We sat down to meet him at the Lincoln Park location and he went through all of the packages with us in detail and offered up suggestions. We used Keith Christopher Entertainment Group for their dj services as well as lighting. I'm very happy we took his recommendations on lighting especially since our event was held at a white loft space. Also, with the venue being a loft we had to highlight where the dance floor was so our guests knew and he did a great job with the lighting. It was a great night - we had people doing the worm and high jump splits. The dance floor was consistently packed and KC did a great job mixing up the songs for the older generation of guests and Kev and my more modern tastes that include some techno. :) He also makes it very easy with his online planner to add your favorite songs so those are played throughout the evening. The DJ was an easy part of the wedding planning and we couldn't have been happier.

t remember names, honestly, but the man with whom we spoke on the phone was very professional, very knowledgable, and answered all of our questions. It seemed like the best vendor to go with. Generally, the service was okay. The dance floor generally stayed packed, which was a good thing. I wasn't happy that they did not cover the songs we wanted covered on our list. The song that was truly important to me, "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood, was meant as a tribute to my mother who passed away 7 years ago. He completely forgot about it. Many members of my wedding party had to go and ask for him to play it, and by then, most of the guests had thinned out. I couldn't put into words how upset I was. In general, I would encourage you to do some digging before you commit to a DJ for your wedding.

ic that didn't fit the situation & the DJ's didn't seem to have any personality. We knew we wanted to use this DJ when we met with KC a few weeks later. He presented his ideas & we told him what we liked & didn't like. Larry called us a few days before the wedding & went over everything. We explained that we didn't want to spread out the speeches like they tend to do & he said he would just delay it until the first course came out so the guests could eat and listen. We used AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" for our walk in song. We wanted to let the music play for a little & get the guests pumped, because, let's face it, that song is perfect for it! He did such a good job of that on the day of, and we had so much fun walking in to the combination of people clapping & pumping their fists in the air. It was just what we wanted. I loved that they played the perfect combination of music at our wedding and, just as they said they would, played based on the mood of the crowd. We never had an empty dance floor & that is all credited to Larry & his assistant for the night. My parents presented us with Hawaiian wedding lei's as is our family tradition, and he found the song we needed. It was a very emotional presentation & having that song playing in the background made it even more special. My husband used to do some DJing himself so the quality of the music & the diversity was really important to him. They never played the music too loud throughout dinner & it never felt like being in a nightclub where everyone had to shout to hear each other. Music has always been an important part of my husband's & my lives. That's why Keith Christopher Entertainment was the perfect fit for us. We could not have been happier with them. Thank you again Larry!

Despite all of this, there were some major issues when dealing with this company. My wedding was in August this year and the issues began to arise a few months out. Our package included some kind of voice overs during our first dance. This was one of the reasons I booked this package. This request was not fulfilled. I emailed KC several times around May-ish to ask when this had to be done by and it was impossible to receive a response back. I was also trying to add a slide show and gobo projection at this point. I decided to give them a call. Larry was great and helped me book the extra things that I wanted. Around July, I noticed they never asked for the pictures for my slide show, so I had to CALL THEM AGAIN. Larry advised me to bring the pictures in. When I did, I asked KC if there was anything else I needed to do with the gobo projection (monogram, which I had my heart set on). He said no and "we were good to go". The day of my wedding arrived. My husband and I were never given a timeline of when things would be so after our entrance, we kind of just stood on the dance floor. We didn't know what to do; go sit down? cut the cake? have our first dance? KC motioned to cut the cake. I didn't know when speeches or special dances were coming so that was pretty annoying. I was told about 5 minutes before each different thing occurred. Every other vendor gave me a timeline. This was a definite negative. The real problem I had with this company was when I realized there was no gobo projection. I was a little bummed at the wedding but told myself I would deal with it after the wedding. I checked back and made sure it was in my contract, it sure was and I paid the $250 it cost. I emailed Larry and KC about this issue about 3 days after the wedding (while on my honeymoon). At first it was difficult to get a response but then Larry assured me that "KC would take care of it". I know credit card companies can take a few weeks to credit your card so I patiently waited for a little over a month and no refund. I emailed Larry and CC'ed KC on the emails asking about the refund. No response. No acknowledgement. Finally, I emailed again and informed them that if I did not receive a refund by September 25th, I would be forced to write a poor review. I was BEYOND ANNOYED AND FRUSTRATED with the lack of communication and carelessness of this company. Sure enough, September 24th at 8:30 PM, KC leaves a voicemail saying he received the email (that I sent 2 weeks ago) and said he had "no idea" about this issue. WHAT A LIE!!! How can you respond to emails when I am trying to book your service or make an appointment but when a refund needs to be given you magically don't see my email? Anyway, his voicemail said "please call me tomorrow morning, so we can talk about this. I will put the refund through first thing in the morning." 1. I am done going around and around, REFUND MY MONEY. 2. I really don't care to hear that KC "wasn't aware" of the issue so I chose to not return the call. SO AGAIN, I patiently waited for the money. Another month has now passed and NO REFUND. I AM BEGINNING TO REALIZE THAT I WILL NEVER SEE THE $250 THAT I PAID FOR THE GOBO PROJECTION THAT WAS LISTED ON MY CONTRACT AND NOT FULFILLED.

dances we requested. I had to remind them to do the bridal bouquet and garter toss! They also were rude to guests about taking requests however on the form we said that would be fine. Very disappointed. However, their mixes were good and guests didn't realize things weren't as planned.

ices. Thank you, from Judy and John

ompt as I should have been and Michael was great at reminding me, always staying positive and professional. The day of the wedding, Michael came early and was ready to help out with all aspects of the wedding since he was set up ahead of schedule... he was really great. We had a band after the ceremony and another guest paid the band (without out consent) to play an extra hour... this would have been a HUGE glitch if Michael didn't step in and make sure we were aware of the situation (we weren't) and he resolved everything, again, very professionally. I can personally recommend Keith Christopher entertainment, they made my special day perfect!! Thanks KC and Michael!!!

s for the DJ. The night of our wedding was so much fun! All our guests had a great time and the dance floor was packed the entire night! Thank you to Keith Christopher Entertainment for helping make our wedding night so memorable!

never expected to see out there as well as keeping people out there the entire reception. If you are in need of a DJ that is professional but knows how to have fun... Keith Christopher Entertainment the company to go with!!!

e, everything was prepared and went smoothly. As for time management, KCE is way ahead of the game! After the announcements were made, we cut the cake and had our first dance. By doing this, my guest had "an extra" 35 minutes on the open dance floor. I mentioned to Keith one time my dad had passed away years before but I was still going to do the Father-Daughter dance with my step-dad. When the time came for this dance KC made an announcement about "how my dad was looking down on me" that made my night. I would recommend KCE to anyone in need of any kind of DJ services. The professionalism of this group is among the BEST I've seen in this industry.

do a good job of communicating. I am so happy we shopped around for DJ's and found him. He will single-handedly make your wedding SO MUCH FUN!

fit 4 people into the shot even though the booth itself was a good size. The people running our booth seemed very uninterested in being there and the "keepsake album" only had 10 pages in it so we ended up getting a stack of about 30 pictures that were not included in it and people couldn't sign in our book

sic "sucked". The night for us went by so quickly and the only thing we can go by are guests comments. I did not hear one good thing about Keith. Guests are there to have fun and dance so it would be wise to take their requests. Music was so soft during dinner too you couldn't tell there was any playing.

ons with Larry were what sold us on them! Larry was great his voice as our DJ was just a great DJ voice he made sure he got everyone's names rights and took all the requests! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and having a great time because of Larry!!!

keeping everything on time and everyone entertained. I dd not want the typical DJ and he was not. Keith Christopher Entertainment was short of a perfect rating only because during the pre-planning I did have to follow up a few extra times then I would have liked. But that is looked past because the important stuff, the wedding was a hit.

hoto booth and lighting. He was able to answer all my questions for me and do book everything over the phone with email invoices to seal the contract which I thought was nice. I actually bought magnetic photo frames as my guest favors for the photo booth pictures which I loved. All in all they did a good job for me, they brought a TON of props and I do get a DVD of messeges from my guests which I have not seen as of yet they say two weeks after the wedding it will be mailed.

, etc. We would have been overwhelmed without his help. He kept the party moving all night long. So many people told me that they were worn out from dancing all night long. That is exactly what we wanted! Definitely ask for Daryl! Keith Christopher also has a really cool online planning tool to use as you get ready for the wedding.

when I emailed Larry to see when we could met with the person who was going to DJ our event he explained to me that he was sick and would have someone contact me soon. Another couple months went by and no communication. I finally emailed Larry again about month before our wedding to see if we could meet with our DJ and he told me I had to fill out their online planning wedding forum and then someone will contact me. So I filled out there online planner which was also time consuming. On my wedding invitations my guests had the option to request songs. So I requested most of my guests songs on the online planner which I figured for sure these songs would be played. Well someone finally called me two days before our wedding which I was not happy about. It was the owner and he reviewed all the information I requested on the online planner. I did explain to him the importance of playing those requested songs. Also as part of our contract, he was suppose to bring microphones for our ceremony. Well the day of our wedding, when I got to the venue, I was told the DJ did not set up the microphones because they were not the right ones. There was no call to me to let me know just found out when I got there. This was unexceptable. I was told they have done weddings at our venue before so I did not understand why he wasn't prepared! Keith stated he would not charge us for microphones but he did anyways! Also when annoucing our wedding party there were uncomfortable pauses like he didn't know who he was announcing. So much for the online wedding planning because he barely played any of the songs we requested. I know the bride isn't in the reception room at all times to hear all the songs but I have a video from our wedding and when I watched it I was so upset. There we times only a few people were on the dance floor. Thats not good entertainment! I had numerous guest tell me they we not impressed with the DJ. I had to call Keith Christopher Entertainment to request a refund for the microphones and expressed how I felt. The women who took my information said she would have Keith call me. This was over a week ago and no one has called back. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything more. Overall I was extremely disappointed with Keith Christopher Entertainment and will not recommend them to anyone!

to express my disappointment they were not apologetic and almost acted like it was my fault. I wouldn’t recommend them for a DJ.

a for me to walk down the aisle with my dad. Daryle was given free reign for most of the reception after the obligatory introductions and dances were complete. He kept the dance floor full while playing our requests and those of our guests. His assistant worked with the props that we brought along (safari hats and glow in the dark necklaces)and made sure everyone at the reception had one or both to enhance the party atmosphere. Additionally, KCE provided 6 uplights that added to the mood of the room.

t. We got some add on packages and they gave us 'special deals' - they might give them to everyone eho adds them, but it brought the price down none-the-less. It was hard to get in touch with them at times, but they were always very nice when we did connect. Our DJ was actually KC himself. He was great! My only complaint is that he didn't follow the schedule exactly as I had sent it over and there was a period of about 2 minutes where the music completely stopped during dinner, but the guests didn't notice at all. The dance floor was packed the whole night and he did a great job incorporating some cultural music of ours (my mom is Puerto Rican and my husband's mom is Armenian). All-in-all it was a great night full of great music and dancing!

ggestions to heart. He saw what we liked and continued to play those types of songs. He had a good sound quality (not too loud or too soft). He was fabulous. As for the photobooth I was very disappointed. The boy running the photobooth was probably 16 and was not at all interested in running the booth. He took 20 minutes to change the paper roll in the machine, so the machine itself was down for about 30 minutes and our guests were unable to use it. He also did not tell guests to only take one copy of the photos because the other set was to be for our photobooth guest book. He did not pull out the book until I asked him to and complained about it. I had to ask for copies of our photos, otherwise I am not sure we would have gotten them. We were lucky to have visited a few different DJ/photobooth places before and were offered some good deals through those places. Keith Christopher was willing to beat the price quotes we had gotten from other DJ services.

realativly on schedule and was able to change at that drop of the hat. We had a huge bridal party (25) and right before introductions we discovered that one of the bridesmaids had gone MIA so we had to reorganize everyone and eliminate her from the introductions so that it wouldn't be obvious to our guests that we were missing somone. He kept me calm and the introductions went off perfectly. He was extremely entertaining and knew when to stand back and when to interact with our guests. We did run into a few technical issues durring the planning process... as I had said we had booked with them way in advance, so we had started to work on the little details way in advance. Well sometime within about a month of our wedding they changed their planning website and some of our information got lost, I didn't discover this until 2 weeks before the wedding and scrambled to get all the information to him within a week of the wedding, now something that took over a year to put together and only having a week to remember and document obviously somethings got lost. For example we were supposed to raffle off the centerpieces, that didn't happen and by the time I had realized it the banquet hall had already packed them up and I came home with 24 centerpieces. Not the worst thing in the world, but it was a little disapointing because I had planned on the raffle. So my advice to all future brides no matter what vendor you are dealing with, document all the details that you want for your day and make sure you review every single detail with your vendors 1-2 weeks prior to your event

to montage video froze about 3-4 times, even after I made a special trip to see them, per their request, to make sure the DVD of our photo video worked on their system.

we didn't even fill in the whole sheet). They didn't make the personal announcements about our wedding party. They didn't make any personal statements during the father/daughter and mother/son dances. They didn't keep to the schedule we supplied. The list goes on...

st but I think he did it to get more people on the dance floor, so I actually didn't mind. He knew what he was doing.

of the wedding went perfectly smooth, Larry did the music for our ceremony as well as our reception and I've heard nothing but good things from our guests about the music. This really was one of the best vendors we worked with. And the price was really great also, we worked with the photography studio they have deals with so we got an additional discount for booking with both Keith Christopher and Modern Image Studios.

tic. As a musician myself (and having lots of musician friends), I was apprehensive about hiring someone like this, but the trio really was wonderful. After dinner, our DJ, Troy, took over. I don't think he works for KC anymore (moved possibly?) but he was awesome. When we talked to him in our meetings, he knew exactly the type of party we wanted to have. He got everyone's names right during introductions, played all the right songs for special moments, and best of all, KEPT EVERYONE DANCING all night! I hardly left the dance floor. Our friends raved about our wonderful DJ for days. Thanks KC Entertainment for making our wedding night the best party of our lives!

that no detail would be left unnoticed—including numerous aspects of the evening that would never have came to our minds. Organizing the pieces of our large wedding (270 guests) was overwhelming, to say the least, and the planning forms and step-by-step consultation meeting with Keith, were amazing assets. Keith was not only knowledgeable, but also extremely helpful in suggesting relevant musical selections and in setting an agenda/timeline for our reception. He communicated with staff at our reception facility to ensure that the evening ran exactly as we had planned and worked fluidly with our other vendors—professional at all times. We truly did not have to think twice about anything! Most importantly, the dance floor was literally packed the ENTIRE evening. Our Keith Christopher Entertainment team blended our personal requests with the needs and desires of our guests. From the young children to our elderly family members, EVERYONE was up dancing throughout the evening. Months later, family and friends are still complimenting our phenomenal reception—specifically noting how much fun it was to be up and having fun all night. Time and time again, we’ve heard, “Your DJ kept everyone involved—I cannot remember a wedding where so many people were up dancing all night long!” Another aspect we especially appreciated was the ways through which the evening was personalized. Keith Christopher Entertainment’s story-like introductions were a unique touch that engaged all guests and created even more anticipation for our early reception formalities. While watching our reception DVD, we still get chills to hear Keith Christopher’s portrayal of our first date and the progression of our love. Our wedding day was simply amazing! Keith Christopher Entertainment went above and beyond to ensure that the beauty and fun of the evening were enjoyed by ALL guests, ALL night long! If you are looking for entertainment that is personalized to fit your wedding day vision, staff who are responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and entertainment that will guarantee everyone raves about the fun of your reception months and months later, working with Keith Christopher Entertainment is an easy choice to make!

ing date, Larry made sure that I would have a DJ, even though "it'd be tight". He even stepped up to DJ for me himself which we were so excited about! He has the best personality of a DJ. About a week before our wedding, we had some tragic news; Larry was very sick and in the hospital. Unfortunately, he couldn't DJ at our wedding and we were devastated. We were assigned a new DJ. When I met this new DJ, I knew that it wasn't right. After meeting him, my dad and I did not like him and did not want him to be at my wedding. We spoke to Keith Christopher (KC) about this right away. He was very understanding and told us that his goal was to make us happy. He ended up switching around his own schedule and DJing for my wedding himself. Although we were sad that Larry was not able to be at our wedding, KC and his assistant did an amazing job and we were very pleased with their performance!

ll phone. He said he didn't know we had an appointment. He asked us to come back another time. As any bride, especially those working a full time job, knows, the last month before your wedding, is jammed packed with details and appointments. To reschedule an appointment that an owner of the company messed up, is very frustrating and next to impossible. He then told us to come back in an 1.5-2 hours and he'd meet with us. That was after sitting there over an hour waiting and trying to get ahold of anyone from the company. In the appointment he stressed to complete the online information on how we know each of the wedding party members so that he can make it more personable during the introductions. That was completed for all 14 people and none of it was used. He didn't even have the line up correct, so I ended up lining everyone up. He announced the bridal party, just as any other deejay would, simply with names, very impersonal. Also, beyond frustrating considering, it was time consuming typing it all in on his online form. At that meeting we added the GOBO. We were ensured it would be crisp and clear for $250. Photos prove that it was blurry. Also, in the appointment he asked of what important photos we wanted taken. He asked for specific names and my groom and I both gave him the mother's families names. He said he would announce that during dancing so that the photographer can take them. That was not done. We missed the opportunity to have our family pictures done because believe it or not, that's not what the bride/groom are thinking of the night of their reception with everything else going on. If this is not convincing enough of the disappointment that was felt through this entire process with Keith Christopher, this should...His incompetence was evident to our guests when our first dance song was stopped right in the middle. Complete silence. It was then restarted with a completely different first dance song. I'm sure I heard gasps in the room. He was an awesome emcee when I saw him at a bridal show, fashion show. He is very personable. I can not believe everything that went wrong with him. However, I can't speak any more highly of all my other vendors.

h Christopher's on-line availability for picking the music and outlining the reception program really worked out well for me. On the negative side, Keith Christopher stated how my husband and I would meet the DJ prior to the wedding. Well, we had to call obsessively (without return calls for about six weeks) in order to get this meeting to happen and even though Keith Christopher knew that we were out-of-state, no meeting was professionally arranged at any of the times (within one month) prior to the wedding when we were in town because our calls were not returned. In fact, a few weeks before the wedding we were told that it would be Keith who would perform the wedding and we ended up talking to Keith on the phone, instead of personally meeting him as promised, three days before the wedding for about ten minutes. The meeting seemed like Keith reviewing our on-line requests for the first time and simply stating that he had the music we were requesting and he would keep the guest dancing and the program moving. This was another thing promised but poorly delivered. We trusted in Keith Christopher to keep the program moving as we had put on the on-line program and discussed during the brief meeting. However, most of the time, Keith kept his head down looking at his computer without paying much attention to us or the guests. My husband and I had to walk over to his DJ area several times and request if he could announce that this was happening or that was happening. The music during the eating portion was boring and sleep-inducive and only a few of our requested tunes were played. Then for the garter toss, we particularly did not want one of those men-being-shackled-by-the-relationship songs and requested "Whatta Man" by Salt N Pepa with EnVogue. That was not played - a men-being-shackled-by-relationships song was played. On another positive note, Keith has a perfect voice for announcing us and the bridal party into the reception hall. Overall, I expected a smoother time leading up to the wedding and not having actual fears that my hired DJ may not call me back or show up for the wedding. I expected better interaction with the guests and keeping the program moving. I expected an experienced DJ that would keep an eye on the dance floor and when music is not working to change it up. Anyway, my last point is a recommendation for brides and grooms: if your DJ is going to control the reception program, put in the contract that he or she is supposed to eat the vendor-provided meal in the hour and a half set-up time before the reception begins because it is hard to entertain guests during the meal when you are eating yourself.

e up for this later in the evening with the music.

ugh out our reception. The photo booth was also a huge success with our guests..it was an awesome time!

eption came and I was not impressed AT ALL. I had to to remind him to do the garter dance (he was waiting so that people didn't leave early, but garters are not comfortable to wear!), I asked him to bring the songs back up to the 2000's at one point, he didn't play all of my songs on my request list and made some of them the techno version. If I wanted the techno version, I would have specified that on the request list. We had 2 speakers, not the 4 we were suposed to have and they had the wrong father daughter dance song. I had changed it on the website weeks before and they didn't have the right one. I was a bit annoyed. That being said, the website is really great and the deals were too. The DJ that night though was disappointing. I would not hire them again.

estions and was helpful. He made our wedding a hit! I would recommend this entertainment group for your event. Thanks for making our day memorable, Larry, julian and Mickey!!!! The photo booth was a HIT!!!!!!

to change some of our vendors last minute which was very frustrating especially two weeks before the wedding. It was great to work with a company that had so much experience which allowed us to not worry about a thing. We explained to KC in weeks prior that we wanted a fun and energetic wedding and that is exactly what he did. The day of our wedding KC and his staff was set up long before any guests arrived. Because of the rain the day off, our ceremony had to be moved inside into the reception area, everyone was very accomodating. Once again we were very fortunate to have KC as our emcee, he walked us through everything that day. From organizing our entire bridal party for introductions to personalizing our first dance. Our DJ Darrel had everyone dancing all night. We had such a great wedding. Kc and his entire staff really went above and beyond for us. Thank you. Tom and Melissa

onal, and will keep your party and dance floor packed Keith Christopher entertainment is it..

d interactive throughout the entire process, Keith Christopher Entertainment is second to none. I wish he provided more services or those other service providers were as thorough and competent.

l way that had everyone pumped up for the night to begin. He had the dance floor packed from the time it opened until even after the last song was played, people didn’t want to leave! My legs are still sore from all the dancing! Also, at the last minute we decided we wanted to have uplighting since our wedding reception was in a tent. Not only was he able to do this for us but it added an whimsical elegance that just wrapped everything we put together for the night together. It was gorgeous.

ing our entertainment packages, and KC offered many suggestions regarding how to create an atmosphere of comfort and excitement at our reception. It was evident that he knew exactly what it took to engage all of our guests- ranging from teenagers to those in their 80s. We received nothing but compliments from our guests, and in fact, many "complaints" that our hall wouldn't let us stay any later. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long. KC's expertise was visible throughout the entire evening. Unlike at many weddings we've attended, where a song changes and the floor suddenly clears out, ruining the entire rhythm of the evening, KC was able to read the crowd and kept everyone satisfied all evening. We highly, highly recommend using Keith Christopher Entertainment for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

problem was that our family doesn't fit well into the categories they provided. Both my husband and I had recently lost one of our parents. We needed help figuring out how to manage our family dynamics without offending anyone and causing drama the day of the wedding. The rep was our contact. He was not good about getting back to us by phone or email. The day of our wedding, the DJ was missing a lot of information from their online tool. Some of our special request songs were missed and we had to talk to him during the reception. KC was really cool about it all. He really got the crowd going and played a good amount of different music to include all age groups.

ing so they could book Keith Christopher for their wedding as well! The whole night was flawless because of our DJ. He rocked the introductions and had the dance floor packed all night long. As a matter of fact, some of my favorite photos from the wedding are all our guests out on the dance floor having a blast! I would recommend Keith Christopher Entertainment to everyone!

ess manner that minimized the downtime for our guests and allowed us to keep the spirits high was superb. We had no trouble keeping the dance floor busy, and his ability to mix things up, try and get those who weren't up and dancing out there, but maintaining a sense of decorum and elegance at the event was also without match. Contrary to some reviews here, we had zero trouble setting up time prior to the wedding to meet with and talk to KC. He was responsive and helpful, had great suggestions from his many years in the industry, and helped keep the event organized and our multiple vendors working together.

I spent hours and hours filling-out their online planning information. My DJ did not even follow what I had completed on their forms. He did not play over half of the songs that we had requested, and he was asking me question about the first dances during dinner. During my ceremony, the microphone was horrible and kept breaking-up. It was VERY distracting. The most shocking part of the whole evening happened after dinner. We had given the DJ a timeline for the evening, and it was getting close to the time for our first dances to start. I sent my sister to find the DJ to start our first dances. I knew something was VERY wrong when she returned without the DJ. This is because the DJ LEFT OUR WEDDING RECEPTION!!!!! He LEFT to help another DJ who was having “technical” difficulties at another location somewhere. He left a helper in charge who COULD NOT even run the boards. My wedding planner had to run the boards (she didn’t have any experience with this either). We think the DJ was gone for at least 30 minutes, but probably longer. We don’t know for sure, because he did NOT tell anyone he was leaving!!!!! I hope this review will make your decision a little easier!

an hour before the start of our wedding. Very professional. I would recommend him to everyone. Great job

else.

have ever experienced at any wedding. It was all the little things that Jason did that made our wedding so special. Jason made sure that our photographer was ready to capture all the special moments (cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc) before starting. We had several "non-traditional" wedding songs that we had requested and Jason made sure that they were all played! Jason kept the dance floor packed all night long with all of our guests, both young and old! If anybody is wanting an outstanding DJ/Entertainment company, Keith Christopher Entertainment is the way to go!

y played the wrong song at one point in the ceremony and even said the wrong name when introducing my new husband and I! Not to mention they couldn't keep people on the dance floor. I really wanted to like these guys, but they did not do what they said they would and we paid way too much!
