Kelli Burns Entertainment was so easy to work with. Kelli helped me book exactly what I wanted and came to my rescue last minute when my ceremony musician cancelled. The process was so easy and Kelli was great to work with!
We booked the "Dynamic Duo," John Hohman and Jonny Hartwell and we could not have asked for better DJs! They kept everyone dancing all night! Jonny made sure that everything was perfect and accomplished everything we had on our list! He made sure we did not have to worry about anything at all. They both just wanted us to have fun and enjoy the best day of our lives!
We still have family and friends raving about our reception and how much fun it was and it was all thanks to these guys! I cannot recommend this company enough!

I highly recommend Kelli Burns Entertainment and DJs Jonny Hartwell and John Hohman. From the moment I reached out to Kelli, she was in instant communication and we set up a meeting to discuss DJs. She listened to the type of wedding my husband and I wanted - which was a big party where guests had a great time. We wanted an energetic and lively DJ to get guests up on the dance floor. Kelli recommended Jonny Hartwell and John Hohman. Jonny and John were spot on! They were professional, organized and provided top quality service. We had two meetings with Jonny to discuss the music and the type of event we wanted which ensured that we had a well organized event and we had the music we wanted. Jonny and Kelli were always available to discuss any questions or thoughts. Our wedding was wonderful - our guests were up on the dance floor and we had a great time! Jonny was a favorite of our guests - he is professional, personable, lively and an entertaining MC. The up lights they offer added a nice touch, too. I am grateful we found Kelli Burns Entertainment and Jonny and John were our DJs. You will not be disappointed!

Kelli was great to work with and kept us constantly updated and in the know about our wedding and upcoming tasks. Jonny was the best DJ and I would absolutely work with him again in the future! He was laid back, extremely responsive, and helped make our wedding day an absolute dream that we’ll never forget. We thank you times a million!!

Jeremy was our DJ for the reception, & also gave us a few first dance lessons in the month or so leading up to our wedding, & we loved working with him! He did have some trouble remembering my wife’s pronouns, but other than that, he did a great job & really nailed the vibe of what we wanted for our reception.
I was a little less impressed by Kelli, who owns the company; she was very communicative, but despite me asking multiple times for her to include both my wife & I in the planning process, all the emails were sent only to me. 5/5 for Jeremy, 4.5/5 for Kelli Burns Entertainment overall.

My husband I got married in June and had DJ Lance as our DJ. Lance not only did a great job the day of the wedding, but made us feel at ease during the planning process. We met with Lance multiple times before the wedding so he could make sure we had the wedding we always wanted. Lance did a great job at communicating with the other vendors as well as my husband and I the night of the wedding. Lance kept everyone engaged by playing music that fit everybody’s taste. I would recommend DJ Lance to anyone that is looking for a fun filled and unforgettable wedding!

10/10 stars! Kelli and her team were awesome. Due to no fault of anyone, one of our DJs was not able to make it, but Kelli was great with communicating and seamlessly transitioning us to another additional DJ. We also had Jonny Hartwell as our MC and he was an absolute blast! He was so funny and we had so much fun during the planning process and day of. Jonny was great with planning and communication, with helping us develop our timeline for the ceremony, and keeping everyone on task and where we all needed to be. He really calmed my nerves the day of, as I knew he had everything under control. The music was great, everyone danced all night, and we can't say enough good things about Kelli, Jonny, and PJ the DJ :) We honestly feel as if we made a true friend in Jonny as well. Kelli's team will keep your guests dancing, help the bridal party stay calm, and just deliver an all around fun and easy experience! Highly recommend!!

DJ Lance was incredible!! He knew just how to keep the guests dancing and having fun all night long. Not only that, but his announcements were awesome - he has a great voice and talent for it! He was so helpful and accommodating through the planning process and during the wedding. He even came out of the DJ booth to demonstrate how to do the Wobble! The guests LOVED that! All around, we were extremely impressed with Lance’s service and professionalism, and so were our guests. I highly recommend DJ Lance for your wedding or event!
We also booked the magical mirror Photo Booth through Kelli Burns Entertainment. It was a huge hit with our guests! Kelli’s team designed a custom photo template to match our wedding theme. We even got a book with Photo Booth pictures from our guests. It was awesome to look through them and see how much fun our guests were having at the booth!

The entire process with Kelli Burns Entertainment was very thorough and in depth. It consisted of flexible meetings leading up to the week of the wedding and also assisting in the timeline of the reception including the first dance, the speeches/toasts, and overall music selection throughout the night.
Additionally I would recommend booking with DJ Lance. He was a pleasure to work with and he made great selections for music during the cocktail hour, background dinner music, and kept the dance floor full. My friends and family were on the dance floor all night because of DJ Lance and they said it was the best wedding they’ve been to because of the music selections throughout the night.

I don't even think I could imagine our wedding without Kelli. Our wedding felt doomed after all day rain made us completely re-plan our whole outdoor wedding ceremony the day before. Not only was Kelli present throughout our whole planning process, but she showed up ready to save the day! In 5 minutes she helped us redesign an indoor ceremony that didn't feel any less special than we had planned when we had intended for it to be outside. She even helped my dad hang the sides of the tent when we were all running around before the rehearsal dinner.
Kelli has extensive knowledge of both the music and wedding world. She even went so far as to come out for a site visit to my parents farm, and provided excellent insight as to how our ceremony and reception should play out.
She is extremely approachable and knowledgeable, and without a doubt, the best DJ our guests have ever had. The rain and cold may have spoiled some aspects of the wedding, but having Kelli involved made the day so fun and memorable.

We worked with Kelli & Jeremy for our wedding and they were amazing! From the moment we got in touch with Kelli she really helped to guide our wedding planning process. We really appreciated how consistent she was in helping us plan our timeline of events from the phone calls, to the video meetings, as well as taking the time to meet us in-person. Her website was one of the tools we had access to during our planning process and it allowed us to collaborate easily on wedding details.
Kelli was always helpful through the process which helped to put our mind at ease. She provided us with ideas for our wedding music and how to set the tone for different events through the day. We could always reach out to her & Jeremy for suggestions. They were also really great with collaborating with other vendors for our wedding and coordinating events with us.
Kelli was amazing as our DJ, she was engaging, she had a great sense of humor and everyone loved her! Jeremy was wonderful as our MC, we made a special request for him to tell our love story during our grand entrance and he did a fantastic job! We really enjoyed getting to know Kelli & Jeremy, and from watching their videos beforehand, we loved their energy! Kelli & Jeremy really made our wedding day extremely special for us, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Lance with Kelli Burns Entertainment was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about him. He has high energy and kept the night so much fun. There was a huge change of plans (dinner took MUCH longer than expected) in the middle of the reception and Lance didn’t even bat an eye. He pivoted like it was no big deal and kept the evening moving. He even stayed an extra hour past the original end time of the wedding to make sure we got to do everything we wanted despite the issue with dinner (father/daughter dance, mother/son, etc.). Lance worked with us consistently up until the day of our wedding and went above and beyond to make our night special. We gave him a lot of liberty to choose many of the songs (because we didn’t want to take the time to put together a playlist) and he chose music that exactly went with the vibe we were going for. Even though we didn’t create a full playlist, their online tool gives you the opportunity to put every song you want or just a couple. It was very helpful and gave suggestions too. Lance did our ceremony and our reception and he hauled all of his gear to both places, one being up this hill to set up for the ceremony. By the time I sent the guys over who were going to help him carry everything, he was done and testing all of the audio. Overall, I couldn’t have been more impressed. He really was the kindest and most prepared vendor to work with and I can’t recommend him enough. If you want high energy and a seamless night, he is your guy.

The Dynamic Duo - Jonny and John were the BEST EVER. Working with Jonny leading up to the wedding was so much fun and his energy and excitement is contagious. We really felt seen and heard regarding our music choices, which weren't exactly the "classic" wedding vibes. They took our requests and ideas and made our wedding the most fun day ever. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests on how great they were and how much fun the music was. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!

Recommend 1000%! We booked the event with Kelli, and she provided us helpful wedding planning over the next year, sending us an email each month & willing to help answer any wedding-related questions we had (not just DJ). We had the Jonny & John Duo for our wedding. Jonny Hartwell was the emcee, and John Hohman was the DJ. They CRUSHED it. Everyone said it was the most fun wedding they've been to in a long time. Jonny has some tricks up his sleeve to get and keep the party going, and you will not be disappointed! John has a nice DJ booth setup and has a light machine for dance party lights.
They have an online portal where you fill out all of your wedding information for the timeline, and must play/don't play songs which was really helpful. Jonny even treated my fiance and I to dinner about a month before the wedding to get to know us and learn more about us which was so nice!!
The one thing I did that I think worked really well for us was on the RSVPs (through theknot.com), I asked a question to the guests of "what song will get you on the dance floor?". We got about 3/4 of guests answering that, and then I took that list and made sure to pick songs from there or similar style for our "must-play" songs, and I think that also really helped keep the party going.

All we can say is HIRE KELLI! We had our wedding last Friday and she killed it- seriously!!! All of our guests kept coming up to us the whole night raving about her and also she listened to us with our recommendations and also picked some great songs that really mixed in well. She started with great songs (some of my favorites!) and I was worried it couldn’t get better than that- but it did. We had a constant dance party for 2 hours and everyone was having the best time. She is professional, she listens, follows through and made the whole process so seamless. We are so so happy that Kelli was our Dj and I can’t stop watching all of the dance party videos because it was such a great time, thanks to her!

We used Kelli Burns Entertainment for our wedding and are thrilled that we did. We were so lucky to have Jonny and John as our emcee and DJ respectively. This team did such an outstanding job throughout the planning process and the reception itself. Our reception included a 2 hour sit down dinner and Jonny did a phenomenal job keeping our guests engaged and entertained, and also kept the evening flowing seamlessly. He helped create a timeline of events for the evening and made sure he incorporated all of our "must dos" into the reception. Our DJ, John, did a fantastic job with the music and setup. Our venue had two floors and he had different music playing on each level to accommodate all of our guests' tastes and interests. One of our biggest worries was having an empty dance floor as many of our guests are not usually wedding dancers - the dance floor was packed all night! There was never a lull. He read the room so well. So many of our guests commented on how fun our wedding was and how smoothly the evening ran, and we owe so much of that to Jonny and John! Thank you for everything!!

Jeremy was our DJ. He was fantastic. He met with us personally five months before our wedding and that set the stage for success. We created a list of our favorite songs and asked our guests for theirs. As we got closer to the day we met more frequently. Jeremy managed the right mix of music for background, cocktails, dinner and then dancing. The dancing was wonderful. The wedding was a great success and this was in no small part due to Jeremy’s skilled DJing and MCing.

If I could give more stars I would. Kelli and Johnny Hartwell are AMAZING! The are organized and will talk you through the whole process. They made us so relaxed (actually me relaxed because my fiancé was very calm during the whole process) and we had so much fun planning and customizing our wedding with them. The listened to all of our likes and dislikes and kept our wedding what we like!
My family and friends LOVED THEM!! And had nothing but compliments for the both of them!
We added the photo mirror and our guests had so much fun with it and we got so many funny pictures to keep forever! I recommend keeping the photo mirror close to the dance floor so people can jump in get a picture and jump back on the dance floor. 10/10 would totally get again!
If you are trying to plan a perfect wedding kelli and Johnny are your people! Seriously! Don’t even look anywhere else!

My wife and I recently had Kelli for our wedding reception and we could not have been happier with our choice. She was incredibly professional in her multiple meetings helping us plan our song list. When you first book with Kelli, she gives you plenty of ideas and options as to what you could want at your wedding. I was really impressed by her website, which was a brilliant tool to help us pick out exactly what songs we want played and when she will play them. You can have as little or as much control over your wedding day as you want.
Kelli was also able to accommodate various special requests from my wife and I. As we are a Ukrainian family, we had many traditional Ukrainian song choices as well as unique wedding traditions. Kelli took the time to prepare these songs just for us as well as learned about the Ukrainian traditions so she could present them to our guests.
Kelli is more than just a DJ. She helped us to plan the order of our reception, took our ideas and made them even better, and on the wedding day acted almost as a sort of MC. Her personality at the microphone really elevated the reception beyond what a normal DJ would do. She put in A LOT of work to our wedding, and we could not be more grateful to her for it.

Kelli was great.
She helped us stay in budget, got us a fantastic DJ, Jeremy, who matched our personalities, and was patient with a few small snafoos.
Jeremy was fantastic, everyone was impressed with his outfit and every guest said they had never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding.

We had the best experience with our Dj that we hired. Jonny Hartwell was amazing. He helped us so much through the planning process. He got everyone on the dance floor. Kelli was also great about checking in with us during the planning process to make sure we had everything we needed. We are so happy we booked them for our wedding.

Kelli is a true professional. She helped make our wedding everything we wanted. Not only is she efficient and organized, but she is a great entertainer with a big personality. Kelli worked with us from the very beginning of our planning process, making suggestions and keeping us on point as we navigated thru both the ceremony and the reception. Her lighting suggestions created the perfect ambiance. In addition, she worked with our vocalist to find the perfect accompanying music. On the day before the wedding, she arrived the another DJ, John, at the venue early to set up and make sure everything was in place as well as to do a rehearsal with our vocalist and the rest of the wedding party. On wedding day, again, she and John arrived early to double check everything. During the ceremony she was engaging and helped get the guests out on the dance floor. Kelli is your professional DJ choice. Don’t settle for the guy who someone knows who can play music for you. Hire a pro - Kelli Burns.

We had to find an MC/DJ for our wedding reception on a short notice, and Kelli was able to get in touch with us so quickly. She met with me and my husband, and recommended DJ Jeremy for our reception. DJ Jeremy was very helpful, professional, and was very fun and easy to work with.
We wanted to keep our guests engaged throughout the reception by including a trivia game and a scavenger hunt in between dance songs. DJ Jeremy was so accommodating, and he was able to make the smooth and fun transition between games and dancing. He even went and got a line dance going, which was super awesome! We have guests telling us the following days that our DJ was such a great dancer!
It was such a pleasure working with Kelli and DJ Jeremy, and I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic to work with. Instrumental in a fantastic wedding. Guests were extremely complimentary of the DJ and ambiance created. Phenomenal to work with leading up to the wedding.

Kelli managed the flow or vibe of our event perfectly.
She kept things moving on time. When it was necessary to have a more reflective atmosphere (like during the Blessing and toasts) she kept our guests in a more serene mood. Then, she gradually pushed the party to a more festive atmosphere, and included plenty of dancing and fun. She started off like the Master of Ceremonies for a of a high-class gala, and ended the night like a club DJ.
She also solicited remarks from our parents and elderly guests who have been married for decades. She did a great job of initiating participation without embarrassing anyone. One guest said, "She's like a talk-show host."
Finally, she was very professional, well-prepared and easy to work with during the weeks leading up to the wedding. I would recommend her to a friend or family-member.

If we could give 100 stars we would! Kelli Burns and DJ Jonny made our wedding everything we wanted and more! From Kelli checking in and giving us tips and advice along the way, to Jonny adding personal touches to include our family, it was absolutely perfect. They were our favorite vendors to work with, definitely the best of the best!

DJ Jonny was amazing! He took the time to help us prepare for our special day, and it was amazing. I got a ton of compliments from guests about our DJ - he kept the party alive and everyone was on the dance floor for majority of the reception (which was important to me)! Kelli Burns was very communicative the entire process and I felt confident in the services provided. Would highly recommend!!

Kelli’s team went above and beyond for our wedding. Everyone was amazed that we had The Jonny Hartwell as our DJ. He was so personable and accommodating. He told us that we could contact him at any time before the wedding. He encouraged us to be creative while making sure the timeline worked for all the vendors. We also had musicians from Kassia Ensemble for the ceremony, they were amazing!!!!! Kelli helped us design the photo booth backdrop, photo layout. They also provided someone from the photo booth company to run the booth.
Kelli and her team stuck with us when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. They answered all our questions and work with us on everything. I would recommend hiring this vendor 10/10. It was also nice to have one main vendor in charge for the three/four vendors. Love love loved everything 😍

So happy we decided to use Kelli Burns Entertainment for our wedding - not only were they really accommodating when our date changed multiple times due to covid, they made everything go so smoothly. They helped with everything from music choice to the the timeline of the wedding (which was super helpful because neither of us knew what we were doing!) I will definitely recommend them to anyone needing a DJ for any event.

Kelli Burnes was really prompt and great to work with, and the DJ who was matched with us, Jeremy C., was fantastic as well. We had a small post-covid wedding of about 50 people, and he completely understood our needs, offered advice when we needed it, and took all of our thoughts and ideas into consideration. He was awesome to work with and put us right at ease.

We had Kelli as our DJ for our 7/10/21 Wedding. We knew from the moment we talked to her via Skype how great of a fit she was for us. She had so many good ideas and little surprises for our guests that we had never even thought about. We met a few times to go over specifics and timeline, she was very accommodating and responsive. Kelli was able to keep the night moving along our timeline and kept the party going all night with people not leaving the dance floor. We also had the Magic Mirror photo booth add-on that our guests loved.
Would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Kelli as your wedding DJ.

Jonny made the evening go so smoothly. I've been to some wedding receptions that don't have a DJ who can provide upbeat and slow songs at the right points in the evening, don't choose the appropriate volume, aren't reading the room, etc. Our wedding reception was not that. Everyone complimented the music choices, all age groups were out on the dance floor, and the evening went pretty much seamlessly.

Kelli Burns entertainment was a pleasure to work with from pre-wedding to post-wedding. We had a wedding planned and booked in February 2020 for May of 2021. Once COVID hit, we stopped contacting vendors until we know that our wedding would go on. When restrictions started to ease (and after another DJ we were in contact had went radio silent) we reached out to Kelli only a few months before our wedding. Kelli initially met with us via Zoom to give a presentation on her company and why investing our money into a professional DJ really mattered and what we could expect as potential clients. By the end of the presentation – we were sold. As Kelli herself had already been booked – we chose to work with DJ Jonny Hartwell. Jonny was AMAZING from start to finish. Every time we were on the phone with him we could tell that his attention was solely focused on us and our big day. The day of the wedding was GREAT. Jonny was high energy and kept the night moving exactly as we had envisioned - we heard the music we requested and some popular songs that we gave him the creative freedom with. We also had a photo booth - the magic mirror - and people are STILL talking about it a few months later. The attendant, Bill, was great and explained everything to some of the older crowd that wanted to use it. It was so great to have a copy of each photo taken and a USB drive full of them too.
In short, we 100% recommend Kelli Burns Entertainment, DJ Johnny, and Bill the Photobooth Attendant. If you go with Kelli Burns Entertainment you will NOT be disappointed.
