My husband and I just married a few weeks ago, and throughout our entire planning process, we were so thrilled to have Laurel to help us build our dream wedding day! Her services were phenomenal, and she helped us understand every detail that comes with orchestrating a wedding from start to finish. Every wedding needs good music for a good party, and Keystone Entertainment was absolutely perfect! One hundred percent recommend for all soon-to-be couples!

I'm SO happy to know that you were pleased with everything! Thanks again, and Congratulations! I wish you both many years of happiness!!!

Great dj to work with! She was responsive to any questions i had, and the planning process was easy with the app they have you use. She checked in a few days before my wedding to make sure we were on the same page and the whole wedding went smoothly. She set up early so we could have time to practice timings walking down the aisle, which was very helpful. She was familiar with my venue (North Park Lodge) and able to give tips on good places to set up to make everything run smoothly. Even with a medical issue causing delays at one point she was able to extend dinner music seamlessly until that was resolved and we went upstairs to start dancing. The lighting she set up added to the experience and everyone enjoyed themselves dancing throughout the night!

We used Keystone Entertainment for our wedding on 09/28/24. Laurel was our DJ and was very involved in the planning process. There is an app that she has you use to select your own songs and it makes it very easy to plan out your ceremony and reception music. Laurel was very responsive when we had questions and she was an excellent communicator. On our wedding day, the music for both the ceremony and reception turned out perfectly. We are very grateful to have found Laurel and her team.

Hi Danielle! Wow, thank you for this glowing review! I really appreciate it!
We consider ...
it our duty and privilege to provide precisely the music and other details that our clients ask of us; we wouldn't have it any other way! It was our pleasure to follow through with all your requests, to give you the wedding you envisioned.
Thanks so much for all the kind words! I wish you and Jonathan all the best!!!

Keystone Entertainment was wonderful and reasonably priced! I compared what they offered and pricing compared to other DJ services. Laurel handled all of the logistics for us and the customer service was so great, she answers any questions you have. They have an app to organize all your song picks with timelines and details, etc. I am a control-freak so this was a Godsend. Loved the app. Brian was our DJ and he was so awesome. Everyone loved his energy and attitude, it just matched our group and he fit right in and made it more fun. 10/10 recommend and I would use Keystone again in the future.

Very professional and detail oriented. Made it a priority to make the day exactly how we wanted it. We absolutely loved the app questionaire/timeline to make it easy to upload details and specific songs we wanted played and at what time. Being able to personalize our own day when ever we wanted to as we made decisions leading up to our wedding made the whole process a lot more stress free. Our DJ was also extremely nice and accommodating to any changes that needed made on the fly. Would highly recommend them and we would use them again in any future events.

I would highly recommend Keystone Entertainment for wedding DJ and lighting services. Laurel was super nice and helpful with everything from selecting the right lighting, setting up on the day of the wedding and especially with communicating and answering any question I had about the process. They have very clearly outlined combination packages for selecting exactly how many speakers and lights you need for your venue. There is also an app they use where you can customize your whole itinerary for the day as well as creating a playlist for the night. Also the DJs were super knowledgeable and did a great job for the duration. 10/10 in every category!

Keystone Entertainment and Laurel were absolutely fabulous to work with. From the beginning, Laurel was in depth with emails and what to expect. Leading up to the wedding she spent over 2 hours on the phone with me to finalize things to make sure our day was perfect. Our day turned out perfect and we have Laurel to help thank for that! She did all of the dances we wanted, played the music we asked for and had everyone enjoying themselves all night. She worked with me to make sure we had exactly enough uplighting we wanted/needed. The end product turned out absolutely beautiful. All in all, working with Laurel was great and I would 100% recommend Keystone Entertainment to anyone!

Laurel was very thorough in everything she wanted us to answer and she had to explain. Ken was our dj for our wedding, everything went by smooth with only a few hiccups that we all got to laugh about. My best friend now continues to call herself my now husbands sister. 😆 overall our guests had so much fun dancing throughout the night. Thank you keystone!

ng with the two of you throughout the planning process, I'm glad that you found my planning style to be thorough; I do like to make certain that we get every small detail correct for you, to ensure that nothing is overlooked or left to chance. Ken also really enjoyed meeting you and your guests and playing for all of you. I'm glad he was able to keep the dance floor hopping all evening for everyone! I'm not entirely sure what the small "hiccup" entailed, only that it sounds like it may have been the way something came out. It doesn't sound like anything that was on our grand entrance script, so perhaps it was just the way something was said spontaneously. Anyway, I'm glad to learn that there was no harm done and that everyone had a good laugh about it! Thank you again for choosing Keystone, and we wish the two of you all the best! Congratulations!!

We chose Keystone Entertainment for our wedding because they fit our budget perfectly and seemed very friendly and communicative. We were able to be as specific or as general as we wanted with the music. We gave them a basic genre and a few examples of our favorite songs and the selection that was chosen was great! So many guests were saying how nice the song choices were (even the instrumentals chosen pre ceremony). I also requested a custom made song medley to be made for my father/daughter dance and they offered a great price for that and got it down to the exact notes we wanted! Definitely worth the money and very happy with them!

Thank you again for inviting us to be a part of your event!! I wish the two of you all the best! :)

Both DJs were so attentive to everything the day of the wedding. They picked up the slack that was dropped by our wedding planner. Also, we still talk about how they helped to clean up the floor when a guest dropped their wine glass and when there was cake on the floor from the cake cutting. We couldn’t be more pleased with this company. The guests were entertained and the music was very suiting to the audience during each part of the reception.

My event was on May 14. They were very responsive to all my requests and even last minute requests. Last minute included announcing our families and they accommodated. Dj services were provided for my wedding ceremony/cocktail hour/reception. They played all of my requests and played for the crowd. When I went around to the tables to talk to everyone, every table indicated they loved the music and were having a blast. I highly recommend Keystone Entertainment for any event where music is required.
