great customer service, quality deliverance and overall, very attentive to our wants/needs. SUPER grateful that we had him for our class reunion this year! :)
True work speaks for itself. The best around.
The last two reviews about the Dj are fake.
I had the pleasure of attending a wedding where DJ Papa Rooster was the DJ. He came with ALL of the bells and whistles and absolutely did not disappoint. He kept the crowd engaged and the party going. He offered a wide variety of music for EVERYONE to enjoy. I kept hearing side conversations about how the DJ was doing an amazing job. The wedding was very memorable for me and I know for a fact the bride and groom had a blast.
Honestly, I didn’t really want to make this review simply because I hate putting a bad light on people but after speaking to multiple of my guest/friends that attended my wedding it seems like it’ll be the best thing to do principal wise. I met DJ Papa Rooster at a bridal expo in Birmingham, AL and he sold us so well. He was nice, engaging, and said he would do all these things but when the day came for our wedding he was nothing that he sold us on. I want to start off saying that this review isn’t about his skillset — I think he is a great DJ when it comes to his craft but when it comes to catering to his clientele he dropped the ball bad. He told us that he would not only be a DJ but a MC; never once left the DJ booth to entertain the crowd, when it came to our garter toss and other wedding activities — he almost forgot to do it to the point my husband had to remind him, I also bought shirts off Etsy that I wanted to get thrown in the crowd that was given to him before his set and he totally forgot to throw them out — that was about $70 thrown into the trash BUT the thing that really made me and my husband upset was the wedding playlist… I had a range of kids starting at the age of 5-11 to grandparents and multiple of my friends parents and inlaws at my wedding reception and he had us make a do playlist for our wedding and not once did I hear any song that was on my playlist, instead I heard the opposite. It was to the point I had to go up and suggest songs from my playlist for it to be heard and when I did some of those weren’t played. Me and my husband love music; and although I wasn’t expecting to hear every single song on the playlist I atleast was wanting to hear one of the songs because we were sent a spreadsheet to fill out months beforehand. He was someone we bragged on and was excited for and for him to end up playing sexy redd, other extremely provocative music, and music to where it sounded like a frat party wasn’t the type of environment we were wanting to create. When I confronted him the next day about the issue he had said that our playlist suggested this type of music but when I look back at playlist we had songs by Marvin Gaye, The Foundations, Bee Gees, Whitney Houston, Micheal Jackson, Beyonce and NONE of them were played. The point is, he won’t receive the flack for this because it’s going to seem like we wanted things like that he played when ideally we didn’t at all. I want to lastly end on what made me feel validated is that I had a wedding planner actually attend the wedding and reach out to me without me saying anything to her and asked what my experience was with him and she disclosed to me that she has worked with him before and she told me that he has done this before and the brides were too passive to leave a review. I am going to provide screenshots of it as well.
Overall, I hope this is helpful for someone and please make sure when you book entertainment for your wedding please, please, please ask around about that person.
D.J Papa Rooster keep the party going at our wedding. He was very active with the crowd and played a great variety of music, including our favorite songs. We had a great time and so did our guest. Keep um clucking !

We met DJ Papa Rooster at a wedding expo back in August of 2019, shortly after getting engaged. It took less than a minute for him to draw us in with his charisma, stage presence, and OF COURSE - his dog Bear. We hired him for our October 2020 wedding, and like most couples last year, decided to postpone our large wedding to the following summer. About 6 weeks ago on June 11th, we had the BEST night of our lives -- thanks to DJ Papa Rooster. Our family and friends could not stop raving about him! What is most impressive is that he got great reviews not only from our young, fun friends who wanted to tear up the dance floor, but ALSO our older, quieter relatives who expected a classy evening. Our wedding was the perfect balance of elegance and fun!
2020 was not easy on the wedding industry or engaged couples, but DJ Papa Rooster was so incredibly flexible, responsive, and patient with us through all the postponement craziness. We are so thankful for him!
This DJ was so much fun. He did uplighting and the music for both our ceremony and reception. He read the crowd well, and made sure everyone had a good time.
Darius was absolutely amazing! My wedding was in December, and I am still getting messages with the hashtag #keepthemclucking! lol He included everyone in each song and dance and kept guests on the dance floor all night. I, being the bride, didn't even want to finish the formalities of the reception for having to leave the dance floor. Communication was never a problem and the template given before the ceremony/reception was super helpful! He is very professional and was great to work with!
DJ PaPaRooster provided an memorable for our wedding by delivering professional customer service and a wonderful musical vibe throughout the entire ceremony. PaPaRooster spent time with us before the wedding going over plans to ensure he had everything we would need to have a great experience. PapaRooster provided all of the musical selections we requested and also added additional songs that matched the atmosphere of the reception. Overall, DJ PapaRooster was the best money we spent for the wedding, and we will definitely request his services for any future events.

Rooster did an excellent job of reading the crowd at our reception and everyone had an amazing time. He was cooperative and always available throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding and was a true professional. Would highly recommend that you use his services.
P.A.P.A. Entertainment was the perfect entertainment for my wedding and reception. He was timely, organized, and an overall joy to have. He kept everyone off of their feet and ensured that everybody was able to hear the type of music they wanted to hear. I will most definitely be using him the very near future, as he has become family.
I was given the recommendation by a friend of the family to hire P.A.P.A entertainment and it was one of the best things I could have done! Planning a wedding in two months was hard but getting setup with our dj and customizing our playlist was easy. He was very professional and also fun to work with. He took the ease off of my mind and the crowd love him! I will definitely recommend him to others!
My wife and I were nothing short of amazed, thankful, and satisfied at DJ Rooster’s performance on both audio and visuals. Will definitely use his services again for any event that he’s available to do so!
Darius is absolutely amazing. I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the GA Aquarium. He's really good with the crowd (especially quiet crowd LOL). Without him, I dont think I could get all people come out and dance. He helped guide and organized most of my music through out the whole day. :-) Really appreciated his professionalism and would recommend him to my friends... :-)
The Best! Very professional and amazing at what he does.
He was great and very personable. He played great music that got everyone up dancing. I would recommend this dj to anyone.
Darius was absolutely wonderful! He was easy to work with beforehand as we planned the playlist. He always kept in contact and was available for any questions. He had great templates for us to work with. Everyone at our reception had a blast, all because of Darius. He knew exactly what to play to get the party going. Definitely do the train song that he suggests. That got everyone out. Darius added so much to our wedding. I can’t recommend him enough!
