About This Vendor

DJs, Musicians, Lighting, & Photo Booths

The Keith Christopher Entertainment Group is a wedding DJ based in Schaumburg, IL, that has been making wedding day dreams come true since 1988. Our DJs, emcees, bands and musicians, and event and lighting staff will make your wedding reception truly memorable. We can start by having live musicians or a DJ playing the music for your wedding ceremony if it is held at the same location as your wedding reception. Our DJs know how to get a wedding going and keep it going all night long, making it elegant, memorable, and fun. Our audio / visual / lighting decor division can make your wedding look amazing. We offer lighting decor to color your room to the desired hue. Have us project a custom monogram on the dance floor or designated wall. Have a video montage shown on 50, 60, or 70" flat-screen monitors. Add an LED video wall, DJ booth, or LED dance floor to give your wedding an over-the-top feel if that is what you are looking for.

Keith and his team did a PHENOMENAL job. Our dance floor was full the entire night which is exactly what we wanted. We heard so many positive feedback comments. We would recommend Keith and his team again in a heart beat. Thank you all so much ...
for making our reception a great and memorable night.
Any questions?
Reviewed On 6/25/2019 by A M
I don't normally leave negative reviews..or any reviews for that matter BUT I'm REALLY disappointed in how this all turned out. We were so excited to book KC as he did a friend of mines wedding. We requested to have the same DJ that she had..s...
o when we showed up and it was a completely different person we were a bit confused right off the bat. I was also just informed that my mother had to go up to him to remind him to have us do our first dance..even tho in our meeting we wanted to do it right after the cake cutting. We stood around and looked at the DJ booth after the cake cutting and when we couldn't get his attention we sat down and figured we'd do it after dinner. No big deal. We didn't wind up doing our dances until about 930-945. Again, let it slide. But then as the night progressed he was playing some off the wall music..don't get me wrong we requested oldies..but we specifically sent him over a list of 15 songs we wanted played and I think only 3 of them were actually played. One was a traditional Italian song that we do at every wedding and by the time I realized he didn't play it, it was already too late. Also, he completely forgot about the bouquet and garter toss..the photographer was all packed up ready to leave at around 1145ish and came running over to ask if we were going to do it. I was so upset as this is another thing that the DJ is supposed to coordinate. I do know this because I have been in probably 15 weddings and even after I spoke to everyone about it and they informed me he should have made an announcement. Or at least coordinated it. I went over to the booth when I was walking out to take a picture and he was sitting back playing on his phone and casually asked "oh do you wanna do the garter toss and the bouquet toss" like? It's almost midnight. Half of the guests already left. It should have been done much earlier in the night. And as a bride you're not really thinking about it and you rely on the people who are supposed to take care of this to actually take care of it. I also told him to switch up the music cause it sucked..and of course..he didn't. I also would just like to point out the fact that this guy showed up wearing sandals. SANDALS to a pretty classy place with his fricking toes hanging out. As a professional I just think that is crazy. You're working a wedding for God's sake. I just feel like he didn't give a s**t. He would have rather have been anywhere else. But at the end of the day it's your job. We paid you. It's one of the most important nights of our life and you took our hard earned money and treated it like an annoyance. We even told him we would like him to interact with the crowd and get people up and to the dance floor and he didn't do ANYTHING until it was the last dance of the night. ALSO please do not pay $500 for cool sparks cause he used them once when we walked in. Just ridiculous. Everyone who I/my parents/husband even the guy who owned the banquet hall said it was beautiful and everything was wonderful except for the DJ. Which breaks my heart because we really were SO excited about booking him. I am actually embarrassed with how things went and how bad it turned out. This was the worst mistake of the whole wedding. People remember the food and the DJ. Our food was amazing and the DJ was terrible. I've literally been sick over how bad it was because it was such a HUGE deal for us to get a great DJ..and this is what we ended up with.

KC was one of the first vendors we booked because we felt like we just clicked well with Darryle and Chris. We were super excited and just knew they would be great for our wedding! A couple weeks before the wedding we filled out the questionn...
aire and sent it, then met with Darryle to go over it. He confirmed all of our song selections and our do not play list, and went over how to pronounce our bridal party's names. He indicated everything was "good to go." When we arrived at our reception, the first thing I was told was that Chris couldn't make it that night so he brought a different assistant. Ok, no problem, these things happen. As I was greeting guests and getting in line for introductions, his assistant came to me and asked me if I could go back in and watch some YouTube videos to see which one had the right intro music for our Blues Brothers intro. This is something he really should have clarified with us when we met with him weeks before, and clearly he didn't do anything until the very last minute. My day of coordinator took care of it and I thought all was well, but then just before intros Darryle came out and asked me what other song I wanted played since our song was too short (again, something we should have known weeks ago). I told him to play Sinatra or Dean Martin. Instead, he played Pharrell Williams' Happy. Seriously? When we watched our wedding video, we also noticed that he had mispronounced several bridal party names. Not even complicated names. For example, he prounced "Yetter" as "Yooter." Throughout dinner we were very happy with the music. He played a lot of rat pack which our guests loved. Our toasts, first dance, garter and bouquet also went well. The next hitch came during the first dance for everyone, when he decided to play Ed Sheeran (who was on the do not play list). As dancing continued, we noticed our dance floor was pretty empty a lot of the time. Mostly because he kept playing A LOT of Michael Jackson. We danced to a couple of them, but it was just too much. At that point Darryle came to me and said he didn't know why people weren't dancing and thought he should play some merengue. I said no and suggested he play more of the music he played during dinner. So he switched to a slow rat pack song, and guess what, the dance floor was full! Which was great, except he immediately followed it with Thriller. Overall, we had a pretty amazing wedding day, but the DJ was honestly one of the things that we would have gone back and changed. We just wish they had done more preparation and had a better ability to "feel the room."

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.

We decided to go with Keith Christopher Entertainment after talking with a few DJ companies. We got the Basic Package because it was reasonably priced and added uplighting to it. We were told that we would be able to choose our own DJ (normally...
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

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.

Our wedding was July 20, and because we are out of state, we had to find DJ's by viewing their websites and talking on the phone. This vendor has awesome reviews, so we thought we'd call them and talk to them to see what they had to say. I don'...
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!

I gave 4 stars for quality because KC really did a fantastic job keeping everyone on the dance floor and entertained. We booked the photo booth as well and my guests really enjoyed it and I love looking at the book that was made by my guests. ...
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.

happy to take all requests and was happy to play all of the tango and cha cha that your mother asked for. If it was up to her she would have had tango and cha cha all night but 99% of your guests simply didn’t enjoy it the way that she did and her requests emptied the dance floor every time I played them for her. When it comes to your requests and that of your guests, I was happy to play them. Your reception is a celebration for you and your guests to enjoy so playing their requests only makes any dj’s job easier. At the end of the night your guests even wanted me to continue djing but the Sheraton had told me that you had not extended the ballroom past your contracted time and that I had to end which I did. Unfortunately, I do feel that your wedding reception was lacking due to situations beyond my control. You had almost 60 guests not attend your wedding because you cancelled it on the Monday before your scheduled wedding day due to family issues. You then called the office on Wednesday to tell us that your wedding was back on again. I was told that your missing guests were primarily from out of town and they had cancelled their flights and hotel rooms. Having a third to half of your guests not show up to your wedding changes the mood of any reception. Unlike your wedding planner and several other wedding vendors that chose not to extend you any professional courtesy since you cancelled your contracts, we were happy to help you even though our contract with you was also cancelled and were under no contractual obligation to entertain at your wedding. I was set up and ready to go over an hour before your wedding reception, emceed all of your wedding traditions perfectly, guided you smoothly through your reception coordinating with all of your other wedding vendors. I did an excellent job of djing the night of your wedding and I was happy to play any and all of the requests that your guests requested from me. The night of your wedding you gave me a hug and a kiss and said I did a great job when I said good bye to you and your husband. What concerns me the most is that if you had any issues with me is why you never emailed or called me directly?

I didn't know what to expect from a dj except that I wanted everyone dancing. Daryl did an awesome job! He coordinated everything with my hudband and me before the reception started. He helped us plan when to cut the cake, do the special dances...
, 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.

In Feburary 2012 I met with Larry Brooks at Keith Christopher Enterainment for our wedding. He had wonderful ideas and suggestions and I felt pretty good about choosing them as our DJ. As time went along I didn't hear from anyone for months and...
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!

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

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!

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.

Kristina and Chris, Words cannot express how horrible I feel about what happened at your wedding reception. It is true that we had a technical problem and your first dance froze during the dance. It was not our fault however it was our respon...
sibility. We test all of our specialty dances during our set up to make sure that nothing like this ever happens and in 25 years of djing this has never happened. During the set up your first dance played with no problems at all. Since your wedding, we now make a back up of all of the specialty songs so that if anything like this that happens again we have the exact same song ready to start immediately. As I told you I cannot ever give you that once in a lifetime moment back again, I downloaded a new copy of the song as quickly as possible and we did redo your first dance. The reason that I was not at your scheduled detail meeting because according to our planner there was no meeting scheduled. When we set up any meeting with a client we send an email confirmation to the client to have the client confirm their meeting with us. I got in the car immediately after getting your phone call and drove as quickly as possible to meet with the two of you and we discussed the details of your wedding. We provide our personal cell phone numbers in all of our company email signatures so clients can reach us at all times. During the detail meeting I went through all of the bridal party introductions with the two of you. When I was at your wedding, I discovered that you had changed the order of bridal party members, changed people who were standing up with one another and we even needed to add some names. Due to the amount of changes I had to make I didn’t have the time to re-write the introductions with personalized explanations of who each person standing up is to both you and your husband as the guests were seated waiting for the introductions to begin. I did however deliver the introductions perfectly with regard to style and annunciations. During our detail meeting I also asked you to provide me with any large family portraits that you would like to have done so that I can make those announcements “before” the dancing begins and people start to spread out everywhere. I was never given any names and when I spoke to the photographer Jeff that evening about them, he told me all family portraits were done. At no point in the evening did the two of you ever make mention of GOBO not being clear or that you had any issue with it. The gobo was focused prefectly but may look diferently since it was focussed on the curtained tent liner. I can’t give you back your first dance and for the rest of the evening I worked harder for you and your families then I have ever worked in the 25 years I have been djing. I knew that I had to make the rest of your wedding night amazing to attempt to make up for what happened during your first dance. Your dance floor was packed the entire night and I played everyone’s requests all evening long. Through this I also dealt with an incredibly rude gentleman screaming at me all night long that I “F$%^&ed” up your wedding and that I was to get on the microphone and tell everyone that I was djing for free that night.” I emailed you the Monday after your wedding as well as left you a voice mail to discuss your wedding and never heard back from you again until three weeks later when I received this review. I wish you love and happiness in your new life together.

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.

with a full time staff and both Larry and I have our personal cell phone numbers on our email signatures so that our customers can get ahold of us at all hours. I worked in conjunction with Sara at the Crowne Plaza and followed their lead for dinner service and felt that everything went very smoothly. I also ate the staff meal given to me by the hotel when they had the time to serve it. I wish that you would have said something to me about the music during dinner so that I could have changed it to something that you felt was more desirable to your tastes. If a client doesn’t say anything to us we certainly can’t fix it. I did play all of the requests on the request list that you provided. I looked over the online planner and in my emails for your Whatta Man request and it is not on the planner or on any emails. You may have intended to put it on the planner and thought that you did but it was never done. There are so many things on a bride’s mind while planning a wedding that this may have simply fallen through the cracks. I personally and professionally love the song and feel that it is a perfect fit for the garter toss and have used it based on your idea at weddings since your wedding day. Your guests were wonderful but challenging to dj for. They loved the group involved line dances like The Electric Slide, The Wobble, etc. but never seemed to enjoy simply dancing to great music. I felt I tried every possible type of music to please your guests and get them dancing and consistently kept changing the music when it wasn’t working but it was indeed a thin dance floor with regard to dancing. Perhaps it may have been due to it being a very hot Sunday night wedding. At the end of the night, you and your husband thanked me for a wonderful evening. You never reached out to me after your wedding so I am disappointed to have received this review from you. I wish you the absolute best in the future.

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

I feel the most important aspect of Keith Christopher Entertainment is the simple, yet much overlooked ability to listen to the customer. I wouldn't recommend any other DJing Service; he is the perfect fit for any occasion. Easy to deal with an...
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.

We had the pleasure of having Keith Christopher himself MC our wedding. His excitement and passion what he does really made everyone so excited to get ready to party! He started off the night by introducing our wedding party in a fun and playfu...
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.

From the very first time we met KC and Larry, our wedding planning nerves were set at ease. Not only were they friendly and accommodating, but both men were clearly experienced and knowledgeable professionals. We had no reservations when select...
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!

KC is the best DJ! We had a great time with him! We met with a rep from the company about 8 months before the wedding. Once we booked with them, they gave us an online account to set up our wedding details online. The tool was a nice guide. The...
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.
