Kelli Burns Entertainment was absolutely incredible for my wedding! Working with John & Jonny was so seamless, fun & exciting! The prioritized communication, making sure everything stayed in order the day of & leading up to the day, and made sure the bride and groom with happy as can be! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
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!!

It's good to know, 'dreams do come true'. Jonny Hartwell and John Hohman said your reception was a blast. I even saw pictures. It is our pleasure to create memorable memories on your wedding day, in fact, it's our job. We wish all the best!
Any questions?
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.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2024
Thank you Olivia for the opportunity to be a part of your wedding day! We are happy to serve you both. We also find it very helpful to see how we can always do a little better. Jeremy and I wish you all the best!
Kelli and Lance were both great! Very responsive during planning, and Lance really understood the vibe we were going for. They also helped us find a saxophonist to accompany the DJ set.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2024
Great to hear Emily! With Lance being a singer and music teacher, he knows how music can move people and we are happy to facilitate the vibe! Best to you and Drew.
AMAZING! Not only is the owner so nice to work with, the DJ Team of John and Jonnny Hartwell were spectacular at our wedding! Jonny Hartwell took the time to get to know us to make sure our wedding was extra special!!
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!
Working with Kelli & Jeremy was extremely easy and they helped us build the perfect playlist for our reception and ceremony
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!
Kelli Burns was fantastic to work with. Communication was great and DJ Lance did a wonderul job help us celebrate the night!
Very professional and easy to work with. Truly cares about bringing your vision to life.
Kelli was so professional and was in constant contact with us from the moment we booked her through the day of our wedding. The word thorough would be an understatement. She was so organized and friendly! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2023
Thank you for letting us know Katelyn! Customer service is a must here at Kelli Burns Entertainment! DJ lance and I wish you all the best!
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.
DJ Lance Hahn was amazing! He was professional from beginning to end! He was receptive to what we wanted and made sure to incorporate all of our priorities for our reception. The whole evening flowed and he dance floor was packed! We cannot recommended Kelli Burns Entertainment and DJ Lance enough!
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!!
DJ Lance was amazing! Best decision we could have made!
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 6/3/23 wedding. We booked Lance Hahn as our DJ and he did an amazing job! He was attentive during the planning process, attended our rehearsal, and was prepared for our wedding. During the reception, he made the dance floor the place to be! We received many compliments on the DJ after the wedding. I highly recommend Lance!
Jonny Hartwell and John Hohman were incredible! Jonny was so readily available while we were planning and made sure he had every detail down perfectly. I don’t know how many times he told me - it’s YOUR day, we’ll do what you want! John kept the music going all night and we received so many compliments on how much fun our wedding was. We also got to speak with Kelli in the early stages, and she was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure our needs were met. We love you guys!
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!!
Overall a great experience. We hired them and received Dj Lance Hahn. Overall the entire process went very smooth. They have a website that let's you customize every bit of your Playlist. The customer service was second to none
Response from the Vendor on 04/19/2023
We are so happy we made your experience smooth. It is important to take care of our clients! We wish you all the best!
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.
Kelli was great throughout the entire process. She made communication easy and was so organized. The DJ for the day of, John, also did a nice job of communicating with us throughout the whole process.
Kelli was responsive, professional and friendly.
She made sure to listen to the preferences and was great on the dance floor. She is a great MC, and you feel taken care of and calm knowing Kelli is near.
I approached Kelli after I saw her as a DJ on another wedding.
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!
Lance was fabulous!! He made sure to provide all of our announcements and kept the energy alive the entire night. We were thankful to have him there on our special day!
Jonny Hartwell is amazingly talented. He kept the fun going all night long. Jonny kept the dance floor alive until 10pm on a Sunday which I think is probably no small task!! People are still talking, weeks later, about how good our music was.
I would book Jonny again if I could
They were incredibly helpful with the details and logistics and also gave us so many helpful tips and tricks throughout the process!
Kelli was absolutely amazing. She is very knowledgeable and professional he did an awesome job ensuring everybody at our wedding had a great time. We received many compliments from guess about how great the music selection was and everybody seem to dance all the way until the end of the wedding. Would highly recommend Kelli!
We also had a great experience with Jeremy who choreographed our first dance. He was able to accommodate a time and location that worked best for us at our first dance was very special. We had so much fun during the dance instruction sessions!
Response from the Vendor on 09/29/2022
Your family and friends we a lot of fun! I had lots of fun with the guy who took his shirt off! I wish you and Mason the best!
PS: Great job on the first dance
Seriously. When you contact Kelli Burns, ask for Jonny Hartwell and John and you WONT Be disappointed!!! Jonny went above and beyond and more for our wedding!! And is worth every penny!! I promise YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! #JonnyAlways!!!
Kelli Burns Entertainment was so easy to work with. We originally got everything set up will Kelli and she walked us through their whole process. For our wedding day we had DJ Jeremy who was fantastic. We met with Jeremy multiple times before the wedding and he's super easy to work with. Jeremy was there for our rehearsal and he was early to get set up on the day of. We can't thank you enough!
Jeremy was great! He met with us a few times before the wedding to understand our music tastes. He worked with our pianist and wedding coordinator make sure everything ran smoothly. He also worked with our bartender and played the music during the flair bartending show.
Jeremy Czarniak was our DJ. He helped us come up with some ideas for our wedding ceremony songs. He was easy to work with, professional, and really put us at ease with him as our wedding DJ. 5 Stars!
Kelli Burns was a great choice for our wedding. We really enjoyed our planning meeting with her and ended up getting two great Djs at our wedding reception. Although the planning sessions with our dj were not great and some details were left to the last minute, they were wonderful at our reception. Johnny Hartwell and John Hohman had high energy, kept everyone engaged and on the dance floor. I would highly recommend them.
Lance did an amazing job. He played all the best tunes for our guests and our wedding. Kelli Burns entertainment is highly recommended! All of our guests enjoyed the music!
Lance Hahn was a great DJ for our wedding reception, who was personable, helpful, and kept people on the dance floor!
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.
We had a magical, blissful day. The cornerstone of making this occur, was Kelli!
We are grateful for her footprint, planning and recommendations that made our special day such a success. She was able to take our ideas and created an immersive experience for all.
Thank you Kelli for your professional insight as well being someone who delivers ease, joy and sheer connectivity on our wedding day.
-- Dani + Anne
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 Burns did a great job selecting the music and lighting.
Also she had a great enthusiasm going, there were a lot of young people and everyone was dancing and had lots of fun 😊
Thank you!!
Kelli is incredibly timely with all of their updates as well as advice for planning. She is well versed in the industry and employees personable and dedicated people as DJs, Dance Couches, etc to help couples feel confident in the special day that they are creating.
Response from the Vendor on 04/20/2022
We were so happy to be a part of another wedding in your family! Thank you for your kind words and we wish you all the best!
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.
I booked DJ Kelli after my October 2020 wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 and my original DJ was unavailable for our new date—and in retrospect finding DJ Kelli was a blessing. My original DJ literally just asked for our names and our wedding date prior to accepting our deposit. DJ Kelli scheduled an initial Zoom meeting where she got to know us, our love story and how exactly we imagined our day. She is meticulous, personable, professional and kept our guests engaged from start to finish. Even after an entire month, everyone is still raving about how wonderful she was (so much so that my parents want to book her for my sister’s 2022 wedding). She accommodated all of my requests (i.e. do not play the macarena or cha cha slide) and worked with my maid of honor to make sure everything was perfect. Also, if you’re like me and love convenience, DJ Kelli really has it all in terms of wedding entertainment—DJs, officiants, photo booths, lighting, dance lessons, etc—which means you won’t have to shop around for a bunch of different vendors. (Side note: Jeremy choreographed an entire first dance for us. We messed it up but it was STILL magical. Highly recommend.)
At the end of the day, many have said that our rehearsal would’ve been “chaos” and our reception would’ve been “lame” without DJ Kelli. Trust me, just schedule the consultation.

Katrina, I truly appreciate your kind words. It was my first wedding in a while. It was nice to work with people like you and your families. Everyone was so nice and it was great to get "back in the saddle" here's to you and Teddy!
Jeremy was on time and set up quickly. He kept everyone on the dance floor with his great song choices. He spent hours working with us to make sure the evening went smoothly. I highly recommend Kelli Burns Entertainment for you DJ needs.
DJ Lance was so awesome to work with! Kelli Burns was super helpful since we moved our wedding date (due to covid) . We look back on our night and couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Kelli was our wedding DJ for our October 2020 wedding. Kelli was a pleasure to work with, especially while planning our wedding during the 2020 pandemic. She remained flexible with us throughout the process, even when we were concerned we might have to postpone our wedding. She was very organized and had a nice website set up to help us select songs that we wanted to play at the wedding (as well as songs that we did not want played). She personalized our reception by adding in various tidbits of fun facts about the bride and groom, as well as various fun extras like having other couples kiss in addition to the bride and groom when the glasses were clanked. She coordinated with our day of planner, who was also our caterer, and they worked together to come up with a wedding reception timeline. When the wedding day came and our ceremony was behind schedule due to an unexpected rain shower, she even worked with our caterer on the fly to rearrange various activities in the timeline such as the cake cutting, etc to ensure that our videographer, who we had only scheduled through a specific time, would be there to capture the moment.

It was a pleasure to be with you, your family and friends this day. I wish you all the best and so glad everything worked out.

We really enjoyed working with Kelli. We had done a few video chats (due to covid restrictions) with her and felt her personality clicked with ours and that she could make our evening very special. Kelli was very helpful and resourceful with ideas during our planning, she has a vast knowledge of music, and was right there with us navigating and adjusting to multiple venue changes. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding, she kept the guest dancing and having a great time! Thank you Kelli!

Thank you Kristi! I really enjoyed working with you two as well. It was so nice to see you and your friends on the dance floor. I wish you two the best. Kelli
Kelli Burns Entertainment far exceeded our expectations for our big day. Jonny Hartwell was our DJ for the evening, and we couldn't of asked for a better one. Kelli was very helpful leading up to the big day by providing us with monthly countdowns/ timelines to follow. We would highly recommend Kelli Burns Entertainment for any upcoming event that you may have!

Thanks Dan, I heard it was one great celebration! wish wish you all the best!
DJ Jonny Hartwell was the perfect fit for us from the start! From the "hug" intro instead of the typical "handshake" it made us feel right at home! Jonny is very out going and easy to communicate with whenever any questions should arise he responds right away!! He took every request we had and incorporated it into our special night making the wedding we dreamed for come true! Jonny is highly recommended if you want a professional DJ to read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor!! I have to admit our families don't dance much from other family members weddings but Jonny kept them all out on the floor having a blast! Thanks again Jonny!!
My husband and I chose Jeremy as our DJ at Armstrong Farms on 08/24/2019. I may be biased, but I have never been to a wedding with a better DJ! A lot of our family loves 80s music and Jeremy was able to continually pick songs that brought people to the dance floor. Any song that we requested was played. At one point, Jeremy even got out on the floor and did a split. Who else can say that about their DJ?? Throughout the whole process, Kelli helped us with any questions or concerns we had with planning. She was so on top of everything, we couldn’t have asked for a better duo. I would recommend Jeremy and Kelli to anyone looking for professional, fun and dedicated DJs. Thanks for helping make our wedding the best day ever!
Kelli is INCREDIBLE!! We gave her an idea of what we'd like and she nailed it! She's very professional and talented. I received so many compliments from my guests on the music and lighting. If you're considering Kelli to be your DJ, don't think twice. She's the one!
Response from the Vendor on 08/13/2019
Hi N and E!
I am thrilled with your compliments. It's like we were made for each other (kinda like you two) I loved entertaining your family and friends, they were a lot of fun!
From start to finish, Kelli Burns Entertainment was amazing. I'm a physician and my now husband works for the local library so it was difficult to find a time to meet up for the initial meeting. Kelli was very accommodating to both of our schedules. The information she took at the beginning was very relevant and comprehensive and was entirely meant to make the experience suited for the client. I never felt pressured into adding or taking out something. For instance, I didn't want to do a father/daughter dance because my father hates dancing. That was no problem whatsoever and the reception flowed on without a hitch.
We selected the Dynamic Duo to DJ our wedding and it was fabulous. Every detail was accounted for and there was a bit of improvisation thrown in for some unexpected turns (as are wont to occur for weddings!). We were able to select all the music for our ceremony that reflected our nerdy and unique tastes (let's just say there were a few video game and fantasy film themes).
My niece was our flower girl and Jonny Hartwell presented her with a trophy at the reception! It was a beautiful and heartwarming touch.
My guests are still raving about what a wonderful time they had, which was the most important thing for me and my husband. I was once told that the least fun I would ever have at a wedding was at my own. Well, that turned out to be completely untrue and I feel like a large part of the reason is Kelli Burns Entertainment. You will not regret choosing them for your wedding!
Kelli was the epitome of wonderful. From our first meeting to our wedding day, she exceeded all of our expectations. She is pleasant, hardworking, and overall just a lovely person. She is sensitive to any family dynamics that might come in to play. She listens to you and creates playlists that keep the party going. She was the backbone of our wedding keeping the pace throughout the night. I cannot recommend Kelli enough. We hired a photobooth through her, too, that was fantastic!
We worked with Kelli to match us up with our Officiant, Tara, through My Happy Day. Tara was amazing. She was super easy to work with and created a beautiful customized ceremony for us that was very touching and thoughtful. She provided the right amount of guidance to help us decide how we wanted everything to go. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and were so pleased with how it went. We really enjoyed working with Tara.
Kelli was fantastic the entire process, very attentive and always available, she set us up with Jonny our Dj and he was amazing he helped us with our music during our ceremony and he was super attentive to our requests for the entire night, couldn’t have asked for a better experience start to finish for our wedding. I would say you couldn’t pick a better company

Hey Naomi...Jonny here! Thank you for the 5 star review! I really loved working with you guys! Everything about your "big day" was amazing. And sweet as hell! LOL Seriously, you and your families were amazing! I still have your pebble, b...

We loved working with Kelli for a number of reasons. She is organized and detail oriented, fun and thoughtful.
Throughout the process we really felt as thought she listened to our preferences and our vision but also had great ideas to take the event to the next level.
We received many compliments on the entertainment at our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the way our day went. It was well-organized and high energy!
In addition we felt that Kelli really went above and beyond with her time and effort in coordinating the flow of the event.
We highly recommend Kelli Burns. Working with her was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process.
From start to finish of the planning process, Kelli kept us on track, organized, and provided us with great suggestions for making our day amazing! We met with Kelli more than any other vendor of our wedding and each time, Kelli helped us along with the overall flow of the event and little details along the way. We used their ceremony service, as well as cocktail, dinner, and dancing entertainment. It was not an easy task as it was in a challenging venue with multiple rooms to make sure sound was distributed. Even when there was a hiccup with our singer, Kelli took the reins for plan B without a hitch! Being in the industry, I have a lot of vendor choices but I knew I just had to have Kelli there with me on my wedding day! We highly recommend Kelli Burns Entertainment for a smooth wedding that is an absolute blast!
DJ Harold was amazing at our wedding! He was extremely professional and we had complete faith in him. He worked very well with our MC and was able to relate to the crowd. Our guests were packed on the dance floor all night! Having him as our DJ was the best, and easiest, decision we made!
They are incredibly responsive and really knew how to get people on the dance floor

Fantastic K, glad all had fun and we wish you the best!
Kelli Burns was hands down THE BEST DJ!!!!!! She was so kind, professional, thoughtful and knocked our expectations out of the park! She had so many unique ideas to incorporate into our big day to make our wedding stand out, and executed them to the fullest! We still have guests telling us how fabulous she was! The entire planning process was flawless as well, and she had so many helpful tools for us to use to ease the planning. If you really want someone who can keep the party going, is awesome to work with, and who truly listens to what you want Kelli is it! She definitely gave us the platform to have the time of our lives and we did just that! My husband and I highly recommend Kelli, trust me you will not be disappointed!!!!
Kelli is the best! She added a lot of personal touches to our wedding and particularly excels at reading the energy of the room — our dance floor was rocking all night long! All of our guests loved the music and her easy-to-use software to upload requests in advance of the big day worked out really well. We especially loved the fun backlighting and freedom stick lights — they added a lot of atmosphere to our outdoor tent. Highly recommended!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/30/2018
I'm so glad you liked the FREEDOM STICKS! That was a little surprise for you both. The energy of your crowd that night was great and your music selections for me to play were fun too! I wish you two the best!
Kelli was great when trying to figure out who was best for us! She helped us figure out a package that worked for our budget and was great at our first meeting! We had Jonny Hartwell for both our ceremony and wedding reception and he did a great job at entertaining the guests. He worked well with our vision for the day. He did miss one of our songs when going through the rehearsal but had it fixed for the day of the ceremony. Nothing but great reviews from all our guests!
DJ Jonny Hartwell was amazing! He was so easy to work with, friendly with all of our guests, and kept the party going! Definitely use him for your upcoming event you won't regret it!
Kelli made sure that our event was well planned as well as lots of fun. The flow of the even went very well. I really enjoyed Kelli's communication style- she is very flexible, knowledgeable and understanding.

Thanks for being such a great couple to work with and I enjoyed creating your reception. I loved your music selections...especially "Electric Love" for your grand entrance! I wish you and Pat the best! Kelli
Kelli Burns Entertainment did an amazing job at my wedding. From my first contact with Kelli, I could tell that this company was special. She and the DJs (we had Jonny Hartwell and Harold Purdy, a dream team duo) obviously care very much about all details -- they are professional, and helped keep me on track, reminding me of "deadlines" and checking in just the right amount. Jonny and Harold responded very quickly to calls, texts, and emails, and made the wedding planning process as painless as possible.
The energy the night of the wedding was incredible. I was amazed that the majority of people stayed on the dance floor the entire night. Jonny and Harold did a great job running the show, leaving me free to just hang out and have fun with my guests. I'm very glad we booked Jonny and Harold through Kelli, and wouldn't have changed a thing!
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2017
WOW...this is one wedding I'll never forget! From start to finish...it was just about the most perfect wedding reception I've ever witnessed! It's funny that you said "wouldn't have changed a thing", both Harold and I said the same thing! Pe...

My wife and I married in September after a two-year engagement. We talked about our ideal wedding and worked with vendors who helped us realize that ideal. Kelli Burns was among that group, and my wife and I were beyond satisfied and grateful for her work.
We live in Boston currently, but hail from and got married in Pittsburgh. We quickly realized that it was hard and exhausting to plan a wedding from afar. During the months leading up to our wedding, Kelli was amenable to reaching through any available avenue (be it email, phone, video chat, or in person). She spent a great deal of time getting to know my wife and me individually and as a couple. Kelli’s craft was truly artistic, and we could tell that she wanted to tailor everything specifically to our needs, what we wanted, and our cultural background (We tossed Kelli the idea for a New Orleanian second line and everyone loved it!). We loved and greatly appreciated the effort she made to work closely with our other vendors as well. From start to finish, Kelli’s work was fantastic, and she inspired confidence from the start.
Kelli was both our DJ and our event coordinator, so we worked closely regarding the cocktail hour, the ceremony, and the reception. She was incredibly amenable to suggestions and last-minute changes and did everything she could to accommodate us from so far away. She had everything: from an itinerary of the ceremony and reception to a thorough list of billboard hits and popular songs in other weddings. At the end of our wedding day, our guests were singing her praises. Kelli didn’t disappoint.
We cannot praise Kelli enough.

Thank you so much Seth and Jennifer! I LOVED your second line, it got everyone up and in a festive mood. I wish we could do that at every wedding. I really enjoyed being a part of your ceremony and reception. Your families were kind and gra...
cious. I wish you two the best!
Johnny was fantastic, he had everyone on the dance floor all night. He was very easy to deal with and very energetic which got everyone moving.
