Pete Chambers Entertainment Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
Planning your wedding & looking for the best DJ to help you host the best day of your life? Pete Chambers is certainly the DJ to help you do so! My husband & I got married at Searles Castle on 6/19/11. Pete was the first DJ we met with while p...
lanning & we were immidiately convinced that he was the DJ we had to have. Pete has a very modern sound system, so you won't have those big huge black speakers in the background of all of your pictures. He also has a very pleasant voice, & is able to get everyone out on the dance floor & keep them there without obnoxiously yelling into the microphone! His voice is very clear, fun, & got eveyone excited for the events that night! Pete is also EXTREMELY flexible. I wanted the wedding party & us to be introduced coming out of the castle instead of the usual way that Searles Castle does their intros (into the tent where he was already set up). This meant that after our ceremony Pete had to move a sound system out to the courtyard so we would have music for the intros & our first dance, which also took place in the courtyard in front of the castle! When I asked him if this could be done he said absolutely. Also, the week of the wedding I made some changes to the playlist for both the ceremony & the reception. Pete let me change things at the last minute & didn't mind at all, & the day of the wedding everything was perfect!!! ALL of our guests have commented on what a wonderful DJ we had. From the little kids that were there to my grandparents, everyone was satisfied with the music he played.our guests were thrilled when they would make a request & he was able to play it. (He has EVERYTHING! And if he doesn't have it, he will do everything he can to find it for you!)
Pete certainly went above & beyond our expectations the day of our wedding. Our wedding was scheduled to end around 10:30pm, but at 10 we decided we would keep the castle an hour later because not only were we still having the time of our lives, but so were our guests. Everyone was still out on the dance floor having a blast! Throughout our entire wedding Pete was taking pictures that he emailed me within days of the wedding (which was a very pleasant suprise!) In the pictures you can see a lot of empty tables & a dance floor filled with happy guests, & a VERY, VERY happy Bride & Groom, all dancing the night away & celebrating!! Pete, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us host one of the most fun & amazing nights of our lives! Not only were we extremely thrilled that we chose you to be our DJ for our wedding, but so were all of our guests. Throughout the evening our guests came up to us to let us know what a wonderful DJ we had. Everyone had a great time. Thank you for providing music to suit everyone at our wedding, and keeping our wedding going longer than expected! You're the best! Keep up the good work, & to anyone considering Pete for their wedding know that you are hiring a friendly, energetic DJ who has a lot of knowledge about what he does, is flexible & wants you to be happy with everything at your wedding, and has a very pleasant voice! No yelling, no corny dances/jokes/accessories (glasses, blow up stuff, etc.), just a DJ whose great at what he does & will go above & beyond for you! THANK YOU, PETE CHAMBERS!!! Paul & Alex Josloff
Response from the Vendor on 07/12/2011
WOW! That's the longest, most flattering review I've ever received...I'm blushing! ;-) I am pleased that you and Paul are so happy! Thanks for the wonderful comments and for choosing me over the other DJs you met with. It was a great party!...
Photos of the day at Searles Castle of Windham, NH may be seen on my website in the New Hampshire section of this page: http://www.petechambers.com/new-england-wedding-locations.htm
Pete was very professional. He did our ceremony and reception. He hosted the whole evening and got everyone dancing. We had a small wedding, but people were on the dance floor the whole time. He was not over the top, and blended in well. He did...
a great job!! He also took a couple of very nice pictures throughout the night!
DJ Pete did an amazing job! We loved all the music that was played and the dance floor was full pretty much all night long! I had so many of my guests tell me that this was the best wedding they have ever been too! I highly recommend DJ Pete fo...
r your wedding!
Everything was perfect! Jimi was amazing to work with! He was punctual, reliable and very personable. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and Jimi had many people out on the dance floor most of the evening. I couldn’t have asked for...
a better entertainment group. I would highly recommend Pete Chambers Entertainment for anyones event, you won’t be disappointed!
On our wedding day, Pete gave my wife unwanted contact and I felt very uncomfortable with the situation.
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2022
I apologize for the hug. It was certainly no bear hug and truth be known, very little contact was made. At most of my events, hot and sweaty brides and grooms, fresh from the dance floor, hug me first, so I saw nothing wrong with this wedding...
custom. Again, I am sorry for making you uncomfortable. It was not my intention.
Pete was great!! What a sense of humor! We worked well together and he put our dream wedding entertainment together just like we imagined. We’ve received compliments on the wide genre of songs and the additional packages he offers (like the ...
photo booth)!!
Pete was very attentive and had many helpful suggestions regarding timing of songs and events. He checked in with us multiple times to ensure things were to our satisfaction which was very nice considering how crazy weddings tend to be.
We esp...
ecially enjoyed the photo booth. Many guests utilized it throughout the evening and the pictures printed instantly, which was a bit amongst the kids at the wedding.
Both the bride and groom had specific covers of songs, and Pete went the extra mile to help us find them. We would recommend him for any event.
Pete was awesome at our son's bar mitzvah party! We were concerned that we needed dancers/motivators to get the kids on the dance floor but Pete managed to get them out there having fun for the whole party on his own. The selfie photo booth he ...
provided was a big hit as well. I will be calling him again when it is my daughter's turn!
Pete was a great DJ for our wedding. He played everything we asked and kept people on the dance floor. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the reception to make sure we liked the music and if we had any requests. He also provided up...
lighting for our reception and we can't imagine it without it, especially when it was time for dancing! He took pictures throughout the night and sent them to us the next day! I would definitely recommend Pete to anyone who is looking for an upbeat DJ who knows what he's doing!
Pete was our DJ for my September wedding, that had been moved twice due to covid. He was so accommodating and attentive through out the whole ordeal. Answered any and all questions almost as soon as they were asked. Not only was his service ama...
zing but he also added on a full serviced photo booth for a great price! On top not that the was taking professional grade quality photos of us, so it was such a pleasant surprise when we received so many great photos way before our wedding album was done!
We were so delighted to have had Pete DJ our wedding venue. Our guests danced all night , the dance floor was never without people dancing. Our guests told us that they had the very best time , the selection of music, the interaction with the...
guests the DJ had them playing games just have so much fun ! He made our evening ! From the couples dance , the toast , the ceremony everything went smoothly !
We cannot say enough great things about working with Pete Chambers! Pete was incredibly friendly on our initial phone call - he explained the whole process and matched us up with Greg - who was amazing! Calm, cool, collected, Greg had so many g...
reat insights for us on our big day, from giving timeline recommendations to little moments during our reception that made the night feel special. His music choices were perfect. He absolutely understood the vibe we were going for. He was flexible throughout the process (this was a DIY wedding). As we were putting out fires with other vendors we knew we could always rely on Greg. They have a great online interface that allows you to pick must plays and do-not-plays and upload timelines + other pertinent information. Can’t recommend enough! We feel very lucky!
Pete was our DJ for our August 22, 2021 wedding at the Margate Resort. He was very responsive to my emails (within 24 hours) and very organized. I loved the online forms that you fill in for the days schedule, wedding party details, must play s...
ongs, etc. He has a very extensive song list, but the couple that I wanted played as my wedding party and I walked down the aisle he found and downloaded for us. Our wedding reception was unusually long, but he kept the party going until the end! My only complaint was the venue's AC not working well enough so I could dance the whole time! Thanks Pete!
Pete was very professional and a amazing DJ. Everyone loved him and the way he kept everyone dancing and kept all the events rolling along flawlessly. Thank you so much for making our special day amazing. I’d give 10 stars if it were possible.
Pete Chambers DJ’d our June 5th wedding
and did an amazing job! He was there early and had everything ready to go. He was very entertaining and full of energy. The music was fantastic and a great time was had by all! The napkin game was super f...
un and the circle dance was a huge hit! several of our friends and family members told us ours’ was one of the most fun and best weddings they’ve ever been to! Thank you Pete Chambers for a perfect Wedding night!
The DJ was on time, experienced, chipper and played all the music the entire wedsing guest loved!!! She had all the timings perfect for the ceremony and she even got on the dance floor with my younger guests and danced with them. She was a ple...
asure to have there and we could not have asked for a better DJ.
We would highly recommend Pete Chambers for anyone starting their wedding planning search. From the planning process to the day of the wedding, Pete is a true professional who thinks through all the details to make sure you have a great day. He...
curated the perfect night for us from ceremony to cocktail hour and a reception where no one left the dance floor. Our ceremony was in a park with no electric outlets but Pete made it easy with his wireless setup, everyone could hear our music selections and the ceremony clearly. He helped us plan a fun entrance to the reception and made sure to add our first dance song to his library. Pete incorporated all our must play songs and kept the night running smoothly so we did not have to worry about a thing. I love dancing at weddings and he did a perfect job keeping everyone entertained, dancing and having a good time.
Courtney & Sam, Hooksett, NH
Pete was an amazing DJ! Everyone was dancing the entire night and as the bride I didn't leave the dance floor at all.
Pete did a great job taking our "must play" music list which included music for my grandparents (Frank Sinatra) and music fo...
r the bridal party (top music) and integrated the different songs so everyone could dance and it didn't feel disjointed.
We also did the photobooth which was a huge hit of the night!
DJ Jay did an outstanding job. He listened to our requests and made sure everything thing was perfect. He worked the crowd perfectly and and knew exactly how to get everyone up onto the dance floor. He made everything fun!! Definitely not your ...
typical stuffy boring wedding reception with all the same boring stuff!! DJ Jay had everyone laughing and having a good time!! I will definitely be requesting him for our next function!!
Pete was so personable and made our wedding amazing. He was upbeat and kept the party going. He was amazing!!
I highly recommend Pete!
Pete was great and kept everyone dancing all night! He was great to work with prior to our wedding, a very smooth set up. I highly recommend the uplighting, it was a great addition to our room!
In need of a DJ?...I...
highly recommend Pete!
Pete was my DJ for my 50th Birthday! He was absolutely awesome!! Played all the music i requested, kept everyone on the dance floor the whole time. I also had the Photo Booth he brought, what a hit that was as well and the other guy he had with...
him to help with that was super nice. Everything was perfect and i would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ!!!
Pete was fantastic at our wedding last weekend! Due to the pandemic, we ended up having a very small amount of guests and were worried about what that would look like. Pete exceeded our expectations by creating a fun, safe, and lively time! All...
of our guests had a blast and we couldn't thank Pete enough for that!
In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Pete was so helpful with planning dinner music, intros, and the timeline. He was so easy to work with and we were very impressed.
In addition, we had amazing lighting and a spotlight of our names and date which was so cool.
Without hesitation, we would hire Pete again. Thank you!
DJ Matt was great, the sound quality was perfect, and he handled the intros, speeches, and dancing like a pro. Great mix of music, and he played everything Collette and I wanted him to play.
I would definitely recommend Pete Chambers DJs to fri...
ends who are getting married in the future.
The music and MCing was great, and everyone danced a lot and had a great time. I even danced, which is quite rare for me.
Thank you for being so accommodating and flexible and helping our wedding run so smoothly and work out so well. Consider...
ing all the crap going on with the virus and family and everything else, I am still pleasantly surprised and thrilled that the entire wedding went almost perfectly and hardly could have gone better in my dreams.
We are very happy that we decided to do the dance floor lighting and the photo booth. We and our guests had a blast with the pictures.
Kate and I appreciate you being such a critical part in our beautiful wedding. Thank you so much!
Met with Pete a few times to discuss what my husband and I wanted for our music for our wedding. Had such a great vibe from him up untill the last meeting. We decided to hire pete because we thought it was a great idea but it wasnt. My husband ...
and I gave Pete a do not play list and he did play a few of the songs I absolutely did not want to hear. He also asked my husband and I if we wanted to offer taking requests for songs and my husband and I both said absolutely not. Pete wound up letting taking quests multiple times at our wedding and when asking him why and to not allow it anymore his response was "I couldn't say no to your family". One thing my husband and I liked about Pete at first was that he had a huge sign in his office that said "No cheese zone". We had asked him what it meant and he simply explained to us that he doesnt like to play cheesy songs at weddings for example the cha cha slide. My husband and I did not want any of those songs played at our wedding as we and Pete both agreed. Guess what? cha cha slide was played. Do not let Pete fool you. I absolutely would never use him again for any event or reccomend him to anyone. This was a really big let down.
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2020
I’m sorry and surprised to hear that you're not doing cartwheels over my performance, but I did my job. The dance floor was at near capacity at all times. Most clients would be thrilled! This tells me that the music selection was spot on! I p...
layed every song on your list…Whitney Houston, Don Omar, Justin Timberlake, Sean Paul, Queen, 6 songs from Pitbull, Rihanna, etc. and yes, also the "Cha Cha Slide", but in fact that tune WAS NOT on the Do Not Play list. I have a bunch of photos showing the newlyweds having fun. It was actually a great party! (For some reason this client was trying awfully hard to come up with something to complain about...Very unusual...)
My husband and I got married during the middle of the COVID pandemic in NH and we could not be happier that we chose Pete! We are both very particular and knew what we wanted. Pete took our ideas, ran with them, and made them into a reality. Fr...
om organization to energy to vibe, Pete has it all! He made the entire process extremely stress free and made sure our day was exactly what we wanted.
We are STILL hearing about how much fun everyone had...including us! Thank you so much for being so accommodating, understanding, and such a professional, especially during these uncertain times. If you want your day to be perfect then I highly recommend Pete and Pete Chambers Entertainment!
Very easy to work with!! We loved the music and that we were able to have a list of songs that we absolutely wanted to have played. My husband and I along with all of our guests loved the music and dancing all night! I would recommend Pete to...
anyone who wants a wonderful time!
Pete was fantastic, making our night come alive! He really helped keep the night moving along and was very attentive. I received many compliments on the photo booth and music as the night progressed. If you are looking for a DJ for any event, P...

We had such a wonderful time at the wedding, you had people laughing and entertained the entire evening. Guests are still talking about the centerpiece raffle game and how much fun they had. Even in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, excessive...
humidity and a few last minute bridal party adjustments you got people up on the dance floor and actively enjoying themselves. I have had several guests tell me how the lights (uplighting) really made the space "pop" . The music was loved by guests of all ages, even my 88 year old grandmother was shaking her tail feathers throughout the night!! 10/10 I would hire Pete Chambers Entertainment to be the DJ for any event without hesitation.
Pete was great! Cannot recommend enough. I received so many comments after the wedding from people saying they didn't sit down once during the reception!
DJ Peter was recommended to me, and as a result, I need to pay it forward and HIGHLY recommend him to you! He is knowledgeable, helpful and charismatic. He had my daughter's Bat Mitzvah rockin' from beginning to end, and it was flawless -- the ...
music selection, the introductions, the games, the table calling for the buffet. My 88 year old grandma keeps raving about the music and the flow of the party -- that was all DJ Pete! Our 2 hour meeting just a few weeks before the event was more necessary than I realized, but DJ Pete obviously took the lead to make sure he would do everything to make the night perfect . . . and . . . it was!
Pete!!! On behalf of Heather and myself, we wanted to say thank you for throwing a great Thursday night party for our wedding. We got rave reviews and the music was spot on. Greatly appreciate your creativity, allowing us to be us and for not p...

We worked with Pete Chambers entertainment, specifically DJ Ken, for our lakes region NH wedding and he hit it out of the park. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ken contacted us a few times leading up to the reception to tailor the e...
xperience to exactly what we wanted. He executed perfectly and effortlessly incorporated all our requests. We are still getting rave reviews from friends and family of ALL ages about how great the music was. Barely anyone sitting the entire reception. Would highly recommend working with Pete and his team.
Pete is absolutely amazing! We got married in New Hampshire on Sept. 21 and he was the best DJ ever. He played ever single song we asked for, including some rare ones for the Finnish and Irish family members. He was wonderful to work with leadi...
ng up the wedding and day of he really made it the best day ever. We received many compliments throughout the evening and the day after on Pete. The reception was everything we hoped for and everyone was dancing all night. I cannot recommend him enough - Pete is an awesome DJ.

Thank you again,

From the get go, we knew we were in good hands with Pete Chambers. A total professional. As a former DJ myself, I was very picky on who we hired for our wedding. I wanted to eliminate the "cheese" factor encountered by many of the "less profes...
sional" options. From the intuitive online portal to the last dance at the wedding. Complete satisfaction. We definitely got what we paid for. No need for further searches. For any and all future event entertainment we only have one name on our list - Pete Chambers!!
Pete was flexible and professional with my husband and me throughout the entire process. We booked him on the later side. The music selection process was done partially and home and partially one-on-one with Pete, who is a delight to work with....
He had us laughing and in good spirits. Pete was always available eth by cell or email and made us feel special. Our guests could not stop dancing. e brings expertise from the radio industry and a knack for weaving songs together seamless to complement the night. He was fun when announcing different reception event. We could not recommend this company more highly!
Pete did an incredible job at our wedding! He got the whole crowd up and dancing right away and kept our guests on the dance floor literally all night long. We had a mixed crowd from teenagers to grandparents and he did a great job playing musi...
c that everyone knew and enjoyed. Pete kept things moving smoothly throughout the night and he was funny without ever being corny or goofy. Leading up to the wedding Pete was laid back and very accommodating to our budget and all of our specific requests. He was very easy to work with and really went the extra mile to coordinate with our venue and make sure everything went the way we wanted it to. He made suggestions while keeping in mind what we wanted and was never pushy. He's extremely personable and professional, and we can't recommend him enough!
Pete is a terrific DJ. He ensured that my son's event -which I should clarify was a Bar Mitzvah and not a wedding - was lots of fun for everyone. He provided suggestions to keep the party going, from trivia questions during the meal to fun game...
s to get people on the dance floor like golf putting, the limbo and more. Prior to the event the online planning tools he offers to customers were very useful. Also, the photo booth (which is extra) was a blast. The guests really loved it. If you can add it to your affair it is well worth it.
Really pleasant experience
Pete Chambers is very professional and DJ Joe was a real pleasure to work with. Joe helped find some really esoteric songs for us, he was on top of things and overall great to work with!
Words can't express how valuable Pete Chambers was too our wedding day. He was so flexible, understanding, and played what we requested. He did an incredible job getting our guests on the dance floor. Most importantly Pete was always there w...

Pete was amazing! He helped keep all the kids engaged and entertained at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and the adults as well! The photo booth was a hit and we had some great games. He helped me with the planning and timeline and is very organize...
d with song choices to help customize the music you enjoy. I would highly recommend him and plan on having him DJ at my son's Bar Mitzvah in a few years!
Pete is amazing!! He was able to accommodate our special requests on Chinese songs and really understood our needs. He also gave great suggestions on the processional songs and guided us through the planning phase. We loved his choice of music ...
during the dinner time as well as the dancing and we got many compliments from our musician guests, which spoke a lot of it. In addition, he was very fun to work with which helped ease our stress during the wedding planning! On our wedding day, he kept communicating with us to make sure the wedding went smoothly. He also helped set up a projector so we were able to play a video on the wedding day, which I personally felt was a big add to the wedding. We are very happy that we hired Pete to be our DJ and would highly recommend him to anyone who is planning their special event!
Book Pete Chambers as your wedding DJ! He is worth every penny! Our wedding reception flowed beautifully thanks to Pete's talent and years of experience. Every single guest enjoyed the way he kept the evening going and the party alive. More imp...
ortantly, my husband and I appreciated how professional and trustworthy Pete is. He kept everything under control. Pete checked in with us through the night to keep us on schedule.

Pete was out dj for our wedding October 6 and he went above and beyond for us! We couldn’t have been happier! I told him what we liked for music and some that had to be played and he put together the best playlist! We would recommend him to any...
one looking for an amazing dj!
Pete provided ceremony and reception DJ services, UpLighting and a photo booth for our wedding, and it was one of the smartest decisions we could have made. I would advise anyone that is considering him to BOOK. The convenience of the one stop...
shop for all of the services was a big draw, but Pete’s organization, charisma and friendly/not in your face personality are what took a lot of stress off of our plate.
From the beginning, the planning stage, he was extremely organized and professional, while cracking jokes to make us enjoy the stressful time that is wedding planning. He is extrenely well versed in weddings, and asked us questions that we hadn’t even thought about for our day of itinerary. He was a big help in us creating our day of itinerary.
His online portal was extremely easy to use, and he followed up with us leading up to the event to make sure the day of was perfectly outlined and planned out. He turkey wants to get to know the couple to make it specified to you. He treats you like you’re his only wedding going onz He made us feel very comfortable knowing everything was thoroughly planned out.
Then get to the day of, where he blew away expectations. We knew we had hired a professional, but our dance floor was packed the entire night. Everyone raved about the music choices and the charismatic DJ with the old school radio voice, Pete. He was also great about keeping us on time, and making sure we enjoyed the photo booth ourselves amongst the craziness. He checked in with us without trying to get in our way to make sure everything was going according to plan.
We cannot day enough great things about Pete. He made wedding planning a lot less stressful, and made our wedding day go smoothly and incredibly.
Going with Pete was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. His experience was extremely helpful in planning and even more so in flawless execution on the day of the wedding. Multiple guests commented on how great a job he did in run...
ning a smooth reception with great music selection that kept people on the dance floor the whole night. Could not be more pleased with his services.

ire process. He helped us plan the perfect timeline line for the most important day of our lives. Pete was beyond professional and personable. The Music was so good that the Marjority of our guests never left the dance floor, including ourselves! We also got a photo booth that was a ton of fun and great memories to have forever. The whole day exceeded our expectations and we owe a lot of that to Pete. I would highly recommend him and his business and we hope we get to use him in the future for another event!

Thank You Rae Ann for the kind words. I'm happy to hear that I was successful in creating a memorable event for you and Jerry. I realized how important it was for you that I avoid songs with suggestive lyrics, so I was happy to "Keep It Clean...
". I was also more than willing to take a few extra photos for the two of you. You know what they say, if you didn't get a photo, it never happened! Thanks again for hiring Pete Chambers Entertainment for your most special of days. It was a lot of fun for me too!
Pete Chambers is far and away the best DJ my husband and I could have picked for our wedding! He was professional and definitely had what he calls the "no cheese factor". His years of experience working both radio as well as the wedding circuit...
was apparent from the get-go and all his suggestions were very helpful. Pete was quick to move things around when the reception entrance didn't exactly go to plan, got everyone on the dance floor right away, and kept them there all night long. Pete really went the extra mile when he put together a father-daughter compilation dance song at my request (even though it never got used - sorry). If you're looking for a great time without all the outdated wedding dance songs, book Pete Chambers and you WILL NOT be disappointed!!

Thank you Christina & Christopher for finding me all the way from Saugerties, NY. Your wedding at the Margate Resort in Laconia was one of the liveliest I've had so far this year! The weather was perfect and your caterer (Hart's Turkey Farm)...
put out quite a spread! I'm very happy to hear that you liked my presentation...this is the "No Cheese Zone" after all. I'll be putting photos of your event up online soon and they will appear on my website right here: http://www.petechambers.com/nh-wedding-djs/margate-laconia-nh-wedding-djs.htm
There is a reason Pete Chambers is so highly reviewed. Pete allowed us to customize the music selection to our liking and the rest of the music that he filled the time with was as if he knew exactly what we wanted. From the set-up of the sound ...
system and the DJ's booth (everything is covered by the way you won't see advertisements anywhere), to the satellite speakers he set-up throughout the venue outdoors and indoors, everything Pete did was perfect. We had an extended wedding which began at 4PM and ended at 11PM and not only was the timing of everything executed to perfection, he managed to keep everyone inside on the dance floor for 3 hours even though the weather was perfect outside. Worth every penny. Also, if you are on the fence about uplighting, the set-up that Pete put out there for us really made the venue look great at night. Thanks for everything Pete! Your role in the wedding was critical and you came through better than we could have ever imagined.

Thank you thank you thank you! Our wedding went so smoothly right from the ceremony through the last dance at the reception.
Pete went above and beyond to get music in two locations for our wedding; on a beach for our ceremony and a big set u...

Meeting with Pete before the wedding was key to getting all the start and stop times for each event throughout the day down perfectly. Even if you feel you don’t have time while trying to cram everything in last minute, this is time worth taking!
Our favorite part was when Pete got all of our guests out on the dance floor at the same time for a few dances. He made the evening very interactive while keeping it classy.
Thank you again for helping to make our special day so perfect.

Thanks for inviting me to your wedding Justine & Justin! I'm glad that I was able to contribute my talents toward an event that you'll always remember fondly. And I also thank you for taking the time to come and talk with me before the weddin...
g. I find that there's nothing like meeting in person to go over all of the details and music. I don't want to sound like a cliche...but this was indeed a perfect day! The weather was just right for your wedding ceremony on the lake. Back at the Woodbound Inn of Rindge, NH, the social hour, dinner and dancing was exactly as expected, with the guests having a blast!
Pete Chambers DJs was great from the start. They have planning tools and experience that made the process easy and make you feel at ease. DJ Matt handled our reception and was great. Plenty of people were dancing young and old and the approp...
riate music was played during other times. The flow of the night great.
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2018
Thank you Chris and Laura! It was a pleasure to work with both of you during the planning stages. DJ Matt told me the same about your wedding at Ashworth By The Sea. Our specialty is catering to events with a wide range of ages like yours, ...
and I'm pleased to hear that our "mass appeal" approach hit the mark. Good luck to the two of you, and be sure to keep us in mind for any future family celebrations!
We never dreamed of a wedding as beautiful as what Pete Chambers Entertainment created for us. And they were so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. Their online planning system along with quick answers from Pete (he was a...
lways available to take
my calls) to all of my questions was really helpful. All of my guests told me that my wedding was the best they had ever been to, because it was the most fun. And I couldn't have pulled it off without this amazing company. (We had DJ, wedding ceremony coverage, uplighting,
dance floor lighting & photo booth) They executed everything perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They were just a little higher in cost than the others…but now I know why. I shopped around central New England and met with several of the big companies and I
guarantee you will find no one better in the area.
Thanks so much!

big day. he left a exciting and thrilling impersonation on us that we were making the right choice. His ideas were greatly appreciated, my wife and I felt as if he was our guiding light walking us through every step of the way down the isle. Flexible, extremely accommodating, engaging, and paid attention to our every minor detail when walking through our wedding day timeline, song selections, etc. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day possible, he even allowed one of my family members that also is a DJ to perform. We were truly impressed, and happy.We had high expectations, and Pete met every single one. My wife, our guest were extremely happy with Peter, we would recommend him to every and anyone looking for a great DJ.

our entertainer, he suggested that we go with DJ Joe. What a great suggestion! Joe kept the banter to a minimum, ran all of our events properly and most importantly, played the types of music we enjoy. He worked in audience requests, while respecting our fairly short, but very important 'Do Not Play List'. Thank you Pete and Joe for adding the right touch to our event.

Pete Chambers was an amazing MC/DJ for our wedding. Music is something that is very meaningful to us and knew we wanted a DJ that would understand that. From the very beginning of meeting with him, we could see that he was very easy to talk to,...
very organized and professional. During the planning process Pete was very responsive in answering any questions we had. He was also quick to offer suggestions to help make our day even better. We gave Pete very little direction with the music and he took our ideas and made it as though we picked every single song. After our wedding we got a ton of compliments about his stage presence as our MC and the music and how there was so much variety to please all guests of all ages. If you're looking for someone that truly cares about you and your event, and is very passionate about his profession he's your man!

I chose to book the DJ, Photo Booth and Up-lighting package. Pete was somewhat helpful in the planning process. The day of the wedding, Pete inturrupted my photos to ask me questions instead of speaking to my bridal party. Ignored my JP's reque...
sts to lower the volume so that she could address the guests as the ceremony was starting. He also hounded my groom and I to use the photo booth throughout the better part of the reception, despite repeatedly turning him down. The photo booth was there to entertain our guests. I did a prize drawing which took place after the cake cutting. I was rushed to do that, and wasn't even given a chance to clean the cake off of my hands. The photo booth attendant left something to be desired. He seemed bored and unhappy the entire night, barely or not at all acknowledging any sort of thank you, etc, he also had a tip jar out, which I found to be tacky and was not made aware would be there, for $1500 I would think it wouldn't be costing my guests a dime! My ring bearer was really enjoying a particular prop, his parents were told to return it or pay or it. Rude.
I would suggest you set some very strict guidelines instead of expecting them to help you through the process.
Response from the Vendor on 11/12/2017

y, I was not able to form a similar bond on this occasion, which is quite unusual. We invested a tremendous amount of time and effort, and after all that we did, (it was a very long day) I am surprised to hear that there were any issues worthy of complaint. If the worst thing one can say is that the booth attendant accepted tips (so did the bartender) then we must have done a pretty good job after all. Good luck to the two of you, and I hope you find happiness together.
Pete is the owner and he was our DJ for our wedding day from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, and the reception, and he was perfect! When we met him the week before the wedding, he was extremely helpful when walking through our timeline. He gave...
his opinion and suggestions which were greatly appreciated and helped in the long run, it was refreshing that he didn't hold anything back! When we asked for a specific song for the processional and recessional he accommodated it and went above and beyond to recreate it specific for what I wanted!
The day of the wedding he was beyond helpful, constantly coming up to us while we were saying thank you to our tables/guests and letting us know what time it was and what was next on the agenda. He read the crowd the entire night and played songs he knew would work with the crowd as well as mixed in our request list at the same time. We got a ton of compliments from our guests saying how great he was and we couldn't agree more with them! Pete was great to work with from day #1 when we talked to him on the phone before booking him, to making the booking process as easy and simple as possible, to day of. Top DJ in the NE region!

We loved having DJ Matt at our wedding! He was very easy to work with and made sure to accommodate all of our music requests. We had a few must plays but otherwise gave genre/style direction, which we felt he really got right with his song sel...
ections. We had told Matt absolutely no cheesy wedding songs, so when a guest requested it during the wedding, he actually made sure to check with us before playing it! We also didn't want any cheesy MC'ing and Matt had just the right amount of crowd interaction. We worked with Pete throughout the contract and planning discussions, who was responsive and flexible. We'd recommend Pete Chambers Entertainment for any wedding that wants more low key MC'ing and DJs that know their music well.

DJ Matt & I thank you Shan & Gian for being such delightful clients! Helping you plan your event was enjoyable on my end, and performing for you was a pleasure says DJ Matt. I'm happy to hear that we were able to "Hit The Spot" as it were and...
give your event the right degree of microphone presence. Congratulations on your nuptials and good luck in the future!
We were lucky enough to book Pete Chambers himself for our September nuptials! Pete was great, very easy to connect with on the phone or email. My husband and I loved the user friendly website to provide him with the songs we wanted for each ...
part of the wedding, and to select some must plays for our reception. We felt he had a nice balance of getting our guests on the dance floor without being pushy or over the top.
Pricing was very fair, he had top notch equipment and we also opted to have him provide uplighting, which made our venue really come to life once the sun set.
It’s easy to get a little frazzled during your reception - it feels like you have a million things to do and a short window to do them in (introductions, speeches, dances, cake cutting, etc). Pete was calm and friendly and kept us on schedule throughout this, which was so lovely and needed!
Thank you, Pete!

s Entertainment and DJ Gary -- they came to the rescue mere weeks before the event and made the whole thing happen. I really can't stress enough how much music really contributed to our wedding. We only had about 35 guests but the dance floor was hopping all night long. It was also amazing that we had DJ Gary announcing what was happening next so people weren't confused or not around for the big events. Thank you so much for taking those stressors off our plates and letting us enjoy our special day even more! - Jackie and Elliott
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2017
Thank You Jackie! I'm glad that we could come through for you at the last minute and pull all of the loose ends together so quickly. Gary is the most organized DJ I've ever worked with, so this does not surprise me. Being a Radio Personality...
by trade, you got the whole package too, as Gary can play the tunes and MC the show all at the same time.
Pete was great to work with and made the planning process smooth and low-stress. The kids had a great time at the party...and the photo booth was a huge hit. Thanks, Pete, for helping us make Jesse's bar mitzvah celebration a success!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2017
Jesse's Bar Mitzvah at the Easton Country Club was a great time! The kids had lots of energy and really enjoyed all of the activities. The photo booth broke the record for photos. There were so many, we had to give the client two USB drives ...

We used Pete Chambers for our wedding in Northern NH in August, and we very pleased with the entire experience. Throughout the entire process Pete was readily available, very responsive, well organized and professional, and happy to accommodat...
e our requests.
At his request, we sat down together about a week before the wedding to make sure that he had all the right versions of the songs we had requested - which was SO helpful and probably something that we wouldn't have even thought about. His schedule was flexible, and he met with us at night after work and gave us the opportunity to walk through all the songs, gave us recommendations, prepped us for what to expect (he's seen far more weddings than we had so his knowledge was on point)
On the day of the wedding, Pete was punctual, well-prepared, and most importantly kept the party on the dance floor! He was definitely one of the vendors that we didn't have to worry about at all, and didn't need to pay any extra attention to to make sure everything was as we wanted it (which is all you can ask for on your big day!). On a day full of chaos we very much appreciated Pete's professionalism, and would recommend his services to anyone asking.

We used Pete Chambers for my husband’s 70th birthday party. Pete is the absolute best! From the moment we connected, he was professional and knowledgeable, proactive, organized, and enthusiastic. On the day of the party, he took our music pref...
erences and had the perfect soundtrack throughout the evening. In addition to the music, he brought energy, humor and life to the party. He introduced the family and friends who would be “roasting” my husband with humor and panache! He kept me on track in getting the cake with sparklers sent out at the appropriate time, and got the guests going with a boisterous rendition of happy birthday. Pete also directed everyone to the photo booth, which was a huge hit at the party. People were laughing and silly and posing with props, and at the end of the evening we got a great photo album as a keepsake. I would definitely use Pete again!

Pete did a great job at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah party . It was for 45 teens. He did a great job of reading the crowd and balancing playing games and just letting the kids hang out.
My daughter also had a couple of very non standard last...
minute song requests and he found them quickly and played them. This really made her party a little different than others.
Also, the photo booth was a blast for the kids. The kids even made a scrap booth (Pete suggested this) for her with the photo which is a great keepsake.

Thank you for the kind words Emily. Glad to hear that Kate & Zoey had such fun! Your venue, an old warehouse up in Portland, Maine, was a unique and memorable setting for the event.
Pete Chambers who is the owner and a DJ himself was very helpful when I was contacting him over the phone when choosing DJs. He was very honest and knowledgeable in what he could provide, at what cost, etc. We got DJ Jay who was extremely helpf...
ul when I met him with choosing music, helping coordinate and rearrange some events so the day flowed more smoothly and planning out the events; cocktail hour and reception. He made our wedding day memorable. I fully recommend using this Pete Chambers Entertainment.

Hello! Brian & Brianna...DJ Jay told me to thank you for inviting him to Ragged Mountain for your wedding. Jay said that things could not have gone better! Nice to hear.
We were thrilled to work with Matt from Pete Chambers Entertainment!! Emailing with Pete at the beginning of the planning stages was fast and easy. We also enjoyed using the online planning tools to request songs and make a timeline for our r...
eception. Matt was extremely accommodating and professional. I learned after the reception that he overheard the bartender telling my family during the set up that we needed more lime juice for the bar, and Matt volunteered to run to the grocery store and pick some up, no questions asked. And the store was about 15 minutes away. How amazing is that! I've never heard of a DJ going so above and beyond for his clients. Matt was also kind and patient with me and my husband during the reception when we asked for 10 more minutes here and there before moving on to things like the cake cutting or bouquet toss. He came up to me before these moments, gave me a time check, and asked if I wanted a few more minutes. He did all of this in the gentlest, kindest way without any pressure. He played a great variety of music and kept the party going up until our last dance. I highly recommend any bride and groom to work with this DJ, we had a great experience. Thank you Pete and Matt!

Hi Colleen & Seth...Glad you had such a great experience with us at Stone Brook Hill Farm in Gilford, NH. We don't mind going that extra mile (literally) for our clients. I'm happy to hear that you're so pleased with our services and especial...
ly with DJ Matt! I know how much your satisfaction means to him.
Pete was fantastic! He made sure to take care of all of our requests and also brought some of his own ideas and experience to fill in any downtime in our schedule. He really helped to make our wedding experience a dream come true.

Thanks for the complement Allen & Ellen. Your wedding reception at the Indian Pond Country Club was fabulous! I'm just happy to have been a small part of your day's success.
Pete Chambers made our wedding in Puerto Rico a HIT! Since we didn’t know anyone from the island and because of our distinct music selections, my fiance and I were nervous about hiring a DJ from there. When we were searching for a DJ, the fir...
st issue was would they be able and willing to travel for a destination wedding? Pete was up for the challenge and agreed to travel from NH to La Concha Resort in San Juan Puerto Rico to provide entertainment for our special night.
Early on we discussed at length the type of music we wanted from soft jazz ballads, top 40, Haitian, a little old school and the list goes on. We met with him several times to go over the music for the ceremony and reception.
Pete arrived to Puerto Rico 2 days before the wedding to familiarize himself with the resort. The day before the wedding Pete came to our wedding rehearsal and met with the officiant, wedding planner and bridal party. We had a large bridal party about 20 people and he got to know everyone by first and and last name. He made sure he reviewed the ceremony and reception with resort wedding coordinator. In short, he knew what needed to be done.
On the wedding day I was told he arrived early to set up the audio gear along with the sound company I had contracted. As the ceremony began with our beautiful music I knew that rest of the night would be magical. Everything went on without a hitch! Everything was perfect, from his unique style of MCing and audience interaction to the music played all throughout the night! Our guests left wanting more!!!! Thank you Pete!
When we began the process of selecting a DJ for our wedding, we were feeling a little overwhelmed. However, the first time I spoke with Pete Chambers, I knew his company would be the one to hire. Pete was courteous and always quick to answer a...
ll of my one-off questions leading up to our big day. When I told him that I was a big fan of “oldies”, Pete recommended Gary without hesitation. He couldn’t have been more spot-on in his recommendation!! When we met with Gary, I hardly had to give him any direction at all; he knew exactly what we were looking for. We did not do a lot of the “traditional” things at our wedding that the DJ would normally be part of (no first dance, no cake cutting, no introductions, etc.) and Gary was incredibly accommodating. DJs and their music have a big impact on a wedding (sometimes a negative one, unfortunately) and Gary played a huge role in our perfect wedding day. While we can’t speak for any of the other DJs, Pete made the perfect choice in recommending Gary for us. We highly recommend him!

Proceed with caution with using Pete Chambers. It's a hit or miss...and unfortunately it was a miss for me.
My friends had an amazing DJ at their wedding, and they told me they used Pete Chambers....but not all DJs at the same.
Our DJ was gre...
at to talk to on the phone, but the service he provided was just awful.
Below are some of the complaints that I sent to them a few days after my big day along with his rude responses back to me:
- Our first dance song started way before we got to the dance floor, and we missed about 30 seconds of our first dance (Yes, I talked over the intro music of the song, as that’s the way it’s supposed to be done. Maybe the first 10 seconds were played as I said their names. Is this a foul? )
- He said the bride's man name wrong. He said a completely different name. The name he said was for my dude of honor, who could not make it to the wedding due to a family emergency, and I informed him of this a little over a week before the wedding. He acknowledged my email, but I guess he forgot to update his notes. So that was embarrassing for one of my best friends to get up and get completely introduced as someone else, while the rest of us are screaming at the DJ with the correct name. (That happened. The name was on another piece of paper that I didn't realize. He was introduced correctly during the introductions. Sorry, I made a mistake. Is this a fireable offense?)
- For the groom's thank you speech, he played a MIDI version of the song, instead of the actual song. He and I confirmed over the phone he had all of the songs on my requested list (which I told him he didn't have to play all), but I did not expect him to play a horrible MIDI version of the song. (He claims it was not a MIDI version, but it sounded like it was a song you would have put as a ringtone back in 2000...)
- He played more than once slow songs in a row (Once in a while we DJs do play 2 slow in a row and I don’t recall being told not to do this. So...is this a bad thing? People danced.)
- A lot of the songs had the music cut out, so people would pause due to confusion, and the music would start up again.(Again, whomever is complaining must have been hearing something I didn’t, as this did not happen.)
Pete's response to my complaint was "that you should take the guest’s opinions with a grain of salt. Most of them are drinking and not really paying attention, and a lot of times they think they hear something that they really didn’t. They don’t know what’s going on, again, that’s been my experience."
So if people danced, or have been drinking, we can only assume that the DJ was awesome.
Also, if you plan to post a negative response...this was Pete's response: "As far as negative reviews are concerned; usually, for a person to justify ‘revenge’ they would need to be intentionally harmed by another. " So if you plan to post an honest post, it is considered revenge against them.
We did asked for a partial refund, but because our DJ did stay for an extra hour, we decided not to pursue the matter. People should get paid for their services, even if bad.
Pay the extra money and go with a better DJ or hope you didn't get the same DJ I did.

(THE DJ WRITTEN ABOUT IN THIS REVIEW NO LONGER WORKS WITH US. SO THIS REVIEW IS NOW IRRELEVANT.)................................................................
We’re really sorry that this client wasn’t pleased with our services. This is NO...
T typical. The DJ this client received is one of our best and most experienced, and has a ton of 5 Star reviews. When I followed up on this, I was told by several people who were at the event, including the function manager, that things went very well. (Certainly better than 1 Star would indicate.) _________________________________________________________________________
The DJ went beyond the call of duty and actually began playing music when guests started arriving AN HOUR earlier than scheduled. He did this for FREE! This act of going the extra mile for a client should have earned him 5 Stars all by itself...but was unappreciated by this client. This client had a long list of minor complaints. So many in fact, that it raises red flags, because as trusted as this DJ is, it seems quite unlikely that he could get so many things wrong.
_________________________________________________________________________
At the end of this wedding, the client told the DJ that he had done a great job. The DJ's assistant also witnessed this comment. The DJ was completely unaware of any issues, as the day following this event and before any review had been posted, the DJ emailed me to say this: "Pete, Everything went well at the wedding. Even had them doing the limbo!"
Pete was amazing to work with throughout the planning process. Not only was he extremely responsive and delightful to work with, it was clear that he has a breadth of experience in this space and took the time to understand all of our personal...
preferences for finding the perfect DJ for our wedding. Pete appropriately paired us up with DJ Joe who was very professional and absolutely wonderful to work with! We highly recommend Pete Chambers DJ Entertainment for anyone planning their special day!
These guys are great! We had a lot of changes from the time we signed the contract to the actual wedding day (including changing our date entirely!) and Pete was amazing. The music was awesome, and our DJ Matt was able to really read the room. ...
We hear all the time about how great of a day it was for everyone involved.
Thank you so much for all of your attentiveness during our planning process and doing such a great job on the big day! You were absolutely right about the wedding CD, it's very special to have that record of the day! You were professional thr...
ough and through and helped us to make the music at our wedding truly reflect us as a couple!
Thank you for all of your hard work and vision!
We've received such amazing feedback about how great the wedding was and even more about how awesome the DJ was. We were a little concerned since we had a wide variety of ages and a smaller wedding that people wouldn't be inclined to dance. Bo...
y were we wrong, no one wanted to get off the dance floor! Also the photobooth seemed to be quite a success. My mom commented how she thought there was a line for the bar, but she later found out it was a line for the photobooth. We had such a blast! Pete was absolutely wonderful even accomodating my time changes and sitting down with us the week before the wedding to go through everything. He truly made our wedding a flawless success and we can't thank Pete enough.
We worked with Pete in the beginning but had Matt for our actual wedding. He was so attentative and catered to all of my last minute changes. What a pleasure it was to work with the both of them. Just wish I had known we were going to be workin...
g with Matt from the beginning since I didn't know I needed to "request" him. Besides that, everything was great. The outside music sounded amazing. That was probably what I was most surprised with, the sound quality in general. Thanks guys!!
DJ Matt was awesome - he kept the party going and was a lot of fun! Everyone was on the dance floor all night! He interacted really well and we truly enjoyed him as our DJ! Thank you for everything!!!
