Premier Entertainment & Events

ryone was on the dance floor at all times, and there was not one song we hated!! She also got song request approval from me or the groom prior to playing it, which was really appreciative. 5/5 stars - would definitely recommend and book for any other event I may have in the future!!

not ask for a better vendor. Thank you Talena and Patrick!

t job of following our playlists and taking requests, and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. Thank you Patrick and Talena!

were very prescriptive with the music and gave a very long must play list which she was super accommodating to. We also really did not want an overpowering MC personality but rather someone who would keep the night moving in a subtle / understated way, and she totally delivered. My dad is hard of hearing and we had an outdoor ceremony, so audibility was a major concern and she totally took care of it - there were no technical issues during our technically complicated event. We were also totally delighted by how attentive she was throughout the event itself, she kept refilling our drinks and bringing us cocktails, asking if there was anything we needed, and even made sure we got some of the dessert. She went totally above and beyond the DJ call of duty and helped to make sure so many aspects of our wedding day went smoothly.

expected from a DJ, even acting as a wedding planner during several beats of the day. She included every weird song that my fiancé and I insisted upon and the flow of the songs were appropriate and measured. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were taken care of and to ensure the flow of the reception. But what was most impressive was when the generator ran out of gas, cutting the power to the reception tent. It was only off for a couple minutes because she managed to find help to fix this problem so quickly, that some guests thought it was an intentional intermission. Talena is the very model of professionalism, a perfect blend of firm and kind, capable of commanding guests without disrespect and understanding fundamentally how an event is supposed to run smoothly. She was absolutely perfect and if I were getting married agin, I'd hire her again.

im, he absolutely nailed it! He somehow created the perfect playlist that every generation could enjoy. There was not a single moment when someone wasn't on the dance floor. We loved the app that they used to help create our timeline and even allowed us to attach a "do not playlist" which Jim diligently abided to! This is your sign to book!

ur decision to choose them!

weddings in the last couple years, and she was by far the best one (so we knew we had to book her!).

nd to emails, and so easy to work with. Every time I got off the phone with Talena I knew exactly what she needed from me and what my next steps were. She did an amazing job on the day of our wedding. We had a few last-minute crises and changes because one of my family members got ill the day before the wedding, but Talena was so helpful and she very gracefully ensured everything went smoothly. Our officiant had great sound through a lapel mic, and everyone could hear the ceremony perfectly with no hiccups. Talena ensured our entire reception moved so smoothly and according to our timeline. When my husband and I did our first dance, we tripped over my dress and dissolved into giggles after about a minute, but Talena was right there for us, and she immediately transitioned from our first-dance song to regular dance music. It was a hilarious moment and she did a great job. For the dance music, most of our family and friends are not very big dancers, but Talena made a valiant effort and played so many bangers that almost everybody danced at least a little bit. We had an amazing time at our wedding and reception, and Talena was a huge part of making it happen. She does great work, and anyone would be lucky to have her as a DJ.

y. We were even behind a bit in our wedding planning and the calls we had with Talena helped us fill the gaps in our own schedule. I can't recommend this team enough.

our wedding day. She makes sure that no stone is left unturned, and helps to create a smooth & enjoyable experience for the big day. Talena not only helped guide us through the timing for every aspect of the wedding ceremony through the last song on the dance floor, but also made sure to give us amazing advice and pointers we needed. Kevin was our DJ for the wedding and did an incredible job throughout the day into the late evening. He reached out to us a few times beforehand to get to know us as a couple & to establish a rapport before meeting in person. Highly recommended! In hindsight, there’s nothing we would change. Everything was fantastic. We can’t thank Talena, Kevin & Premier Entertainment & Events enough for making it a day/night we will always remember!

our wedding, and he was great. He took all of our requests/do not plays into consideration. Spending $ on a quality DJ without a doubt helped make our wedding day a little bit less stressful!

izes and streamlines the whole day. It was such a relief to have everything organized and knowing my DJ was going to handle it. Thank you!

J that fit our vibe for our wedding day as well and even talked to me the day before to help us decide where to put the photo booth in our venue. She made sure to keep us assured that everything would be perfect and it was. Patrick was amazing! He made sure the entire night ran smoothly and took the time to talk to us a few days before to make sure he had every detail down. Patrick really made sure everything on our day was perfect with the music. We gave him a general direction of what we wanted for the reception and he kept the dance floor filled. I as the bride had one regret and that was that once dancing started, I did not leave the dance floor, I was having so much fun!! We cannot thank Premier Entertainment enough for all their hard work to make our day perfect.

on of what we wanted our wedding to look/feel like. We all had such a great time and really enjoyed ourselves. They will not disappoint. Book them.

songs we had on our must-play list (and even one I forgot to add but mentioned off-hand in our phone meeting) and balanced them out with hit songs that got people dancing. We had a small party and I was worried that people wouldn't dance but she kept people moving all night.

r overplayed that it ends up catering to nobody and there's minimal dancing and I just could not have that. I wanted a dance party from beginning to end. I spoke to multiple DJ's but friends of mine who were guests at a VT wedding actually suggested calling Premier because they had such a good time at that wedding. As soon as I talked with Talena from Premier she was so easy to get along with and I could tell she just gets it and my god what a fantastic decision to hire her. She was so responsive and wonderful to work with. She helped coordinate the timing of the speeches and entrances etc. so effortlessly I didn't have to worry about any of it. From beginning to end people were dancing and were going crazy over the song selections. Talena manages to hit everyones "This is my jam!" song and still had all ages on their feet all night long. She even touched base with me towards the end of the night to make sure she didn't miss any songs I really wanted to hear before closing. I've never even written a review before but I just know how much I relied on these reviews when I was planning my wedding and I wanted to pay it forward and assure you, Premier is absolutely the way to go!!

ation. I felt assured throughout our planning process and Talena continued to check in throughout our wedding day, during transition of events, in a very helpful and non-intrusive way. Talena is a fun DJ who is skilled at both announcing and playing to the crowd, making it a great night!

extended) planning process, Talena provided helpful insight and opinions especially as we were contemplating postponement during the onset of COVID. She is professional, knowledgeable, and a super awesome DJ. We discussed what type of music we liked and how we wanted the night to go, and she listened and executed everything perfectly! We didn't want a DJ that was over chatty, and Talena completely respected that. She made the announcements we requested, and besides that played amazing tunes that had our guests and us dancing the night away. I cannot recommend Talena enough!!

ssional and easy to work with via email to help set up the perfect experience. We used a projector that Talena hooked into to throw a massive display on the wall of a barn so that everyone could see the lyrics as we drunkenly ripped through all manner of songs at her direction. Talena worked with us to find any songs that she didn’t already have in her catalogue on the web so that we could enjoy even the most obscure songs throughout the night. She did a wonderful job of managing the slew of requests that were thrown at her and did a great of job of making sure everyone got a chance at the mic as we all sang the night away (some from the top of the bar)! It truly was a night to remember, and we would recommend Talena’s services to anyone looking to pack a dance floor at their next event!

eive a call from our DJ in the week leading up to our wedding date, but we never got a call from him. On the day of the wedding, despite a previous 20 minute consultation with the company, our DJ had a string of questions that easily could have been answered if that phone call leading up to the date had taken place. It was a really frustrating thing as the groom having to be interupted from enjoying my wedding to answer questions about the timeline and having to remind the DJ to make important announcements (such as, guests are welcome to go up and get food...30 minutes after the announcement was supposed to have been made.). Aside from this headache, the music was great. Our important songs were all played, and the reception was still a lot of fun.

vent to work out all the details and the song list, and that made the biggest difference on the day of. Our DJ, Patrick, was amazing. He kept our guests on the dance floor from start to finish! There was never a lull in the excitement of the night, and he fielded requests while also making sure to play our "must play" songs. If you want to have a fun, seamless wedding day from ceremony to reception, book with Premier! They are truly the best!

everything and made several accommodations after we finalized the music to make sure we had the songs we felt really fit the wedding. Her husband Jim was our DJ and he was amazing! Not only was he early, but he made sure to introduce himself to me before the day truly began and he checked in with me and my husband during the evening to make sure we were on schedule and also that things were flowing as we wanted them to. We had him do our ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception and each transition was completely seamless and worked perfectly. He played all our must-play songs and just kept the party going the whole evening! I was so so happy with how everything turned out and Jim was a huge part of that equation! I'm forever grateful to Jim and Talena for making our wedding so much fun!

e. She and her team really took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, and they even have an extremely helpful questionnaire. If youre unsure of what youre looking for, they will help you figure it out. She ROCKED IT and so far 3 couples from our wedding have asked for her info and are planning on booking her. We asked for fun and dancy and literally our dancefloor was packed all night - even our shyer guests couldn't resist. The flow was amazing. She did a fabulous job incorporating all of our must-plays and just made everything SO easy. We're recommending her to everyone we know who is/gets engaged in the area too. She are the absolute best.

ry understanding and responsive. She helped us tremendously to pick out the songs we needed to hear and also how to arrange our dances and big moments to make the most of the evening! Of course we had to keep her an extra hour because us and our guests were having too much fun! She took requests when appropriate, she read the room very well and knew what music vibes were needed at the right time. We were also so impressed with our personalized photo booth! Our guests couldn't get enough of the laughs and I cannot wait to see our guest book she's making for us with all of these amazing moments! We will be buzzing about this day for a long time and owe so much of it to Talena and her company. My brother in law already wants to hire her for his wedding!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Talena!

hat we wanted from our wedding but also coordinated so much of the evening. From the ceremony through cocktail hour to the final song, she handled everything expertly, professionally, and absolutely seamlessly. I did not even appreciate the magnitude of her work until we went to another wedding with a band a week later. At this wedding, there were many awkward pauses throughout the night and lack of coordination made dinner cold, etc. Talena never would have allowed that to happen. She was running the show, and I could not have been happier with her as our DJ! 5 stars! 10/10 recommend!

ere super easy to work with, extremely communicative, and SO NICELY DRESSED the day of the event!! I did not stop dancing all night. Huge thank you to Talena and her husband for making my wedding such a blast!!

all of the little things from checking in with us throughout the reception, to walking us through cake cutting. Talena even got us our first drinks!

entive and organized, which reduced all the stress we had during our wedding day. Our guests loved all the music she played and kept the dance floor full all night! I highly recommend anyone looking for a great DJ who will take care of you during the night to book with Talena!

r a reason: Talena spent more than an hour on the phone with us prior to our event to be sure she was completely in sync with us and our wants and needs. She seamlessly navigated three music setups at our large venue, and didn’t bat an eye when we changed plans days before the event. During the night, she refilled our drinks, checked in with us, and tended to our needs. Her music choices were appropriate at every point in the night. And when the party started, she beautifully blended our must-plays with music that kept our guests (and us!) on the dance floor all night. I have never seen such an energetic dance party at a wedding, and multiple guests commented that Talena’s DJing was the best they had ever seen. Plus, Jim kept our friends and family smiling and entertained at the photo booth for hours! Do not miss booking Premier—they are INCREDIBLE!

nted to hear at the end of the evening so she could ensure we were happy. If you choose Premier Entertainment and Events you will be in great hands!!!

rds for production and execution. Would absolutely use again and highly recommend.

ding, Talena was my bright spot in the dark! She was always positive and ready to work with our other vendors to help implement safe practices in this new and challenging time. Her husband Jim DJed at our wedding, including a whole separate set up for our ceremony. He was funny and personable and read the crowd well. The music and everything the entire night was perfect! Thanks Talena and Jim!!

ic all night. We got many compliments from our guests and we would highly recommend this DJ to anyone with an upcoming event or wedding. Both Jim and Talena were professional and so very wonderful to work with. We thank them for contributing to such an awesome day!

sband is a musician, so we thought a lot about live music vs a DJ, and in the end decided that a DJ made the most sense because we didn’t want any of our guests (or my husband!) to feel any pressure to play- not to mention the cost of all of the live bands we looked into was very high. Premier entertainment was so reasonably priced, and throughout the whole process Talena was so patient with us and helped guide us in our decision-making. I forgot that most people get shy when it comes to dancing at weddings, and I credit Talena fully for getting the party started- I saw friends and family dancing their hearts out who normally I could have never imagined dancing! We had some last-minute changes to the schedule and speeches, and she rolled with it like no problem. She truly observed our crowd and helped steer the music direction to keep everyone on the dance floor. We also had her mic our ceremony and play our recessional music, and I’m so happy that she was there for that as well! The lapel mic on our JP was perfect and was barely noticeable in photos while projecting perfectly so that the whole crowd could hear. It happened to turn out that Talena and our photographer were friends, and they helped me bustle my dress when those who originally were supposed to help me were having a bit too much fun and forgot! Thank you to Talena and her team for helping to make our wedding day so memorable and for being such a wonderful person to work with. We are so grateful for getting the chance to work with you!

ork they put in for us. Our initial contact point was Talena who made sure our needs would be met and laid out a timeline for contact leading up to the actual day. A few weeks before the wedding I sent Talena our responses to their thorough (and I'm glad it was!) questionnaire and she went over questions and made sure everything was going to be exactly as we wanted it. On the day of the event I met Jim, her husband, who was our DJ. He was professional and very engaging. We went over some final details and then basically handed the night over to him! So many people came up to and remarked on how great the music was and how fun Jim was. Overall I could not have been more happy. Hire these guys! You won't find a better group!

Premier Entertainment after reading online reviews and scheduling a phone call with Talena. Both Talena and Jim, who was our DJ the night of the wedding, were professional, responsive, easy to work with, and easily got a sense of what we wanted and what they could offer over the phone. Jim even called one last time the night before the wedding to see if we had any last minute changes, concerns, or questions for him. We provided some guidance in terms of our music selection and the music was definitely on point, fun, and kept the dance floor full all night. We got lots of positive feedback on the DJ, even from the groom's 95 year old grandmother! The uplighting looked great in the all white walls of the Essex! You can't go wrong with Jim and Talena!

to carry out our wishes.

ver the phone and in person a few weeks before the wedding just to make sure everything was set in place. They really took the time and went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly and he played all the songs I had asked for. Jim really did a fantastic job helping host the night and keeping the party going! If your looking for a great DJ and photo booth I would highly recommend premier! Thank you so much Talena and Jim for all your hard work!

y made our day even more special with their upbeat personality and music delivery that kept everyone one dancing til the last song. you can not go wrong with Talena and Premiere Entertainment.

mmunicative and fast to respond. Wedding planning was not my forte and Talena was very honest, helpful and felt like a friend answering all of my questions. She could not have done a better job on the wedding day. Everyone was on the dance floor and had so much fun. We told her our music choices but gave her a lot of free range and am so glad we did. She created an extremely fun and energetic atmosphere and read the crowd so well. You will not regret going with Premier.

ot disappoint. Talena was super responsive and helpful during the entire lead-up, offering great advice on everything from our playlist to our entire day-of schedule, and Jim was an amazing wedding day DJ who picked the perfect moment for every song and kept the night moving seamlessly. We and our guests had a blast, and it was in no small part thanks to the expert services of Jim and Talena at Premier Entertainment!

and Jim! From the moment we booked them we knew we were in good hands. They checked in just the right amount, never overbearing, and the wedding questionnaire was so helpful to fill them in on what we were looking for on our big day. They addressed every concern with such patience, and had so many great ideas for us, many of which we utilized. Jim was our DJ/event coordinator the night of the wedding. I can't rave enough about his skills. He read the crowd so well, and got my family out on the floor even though many of us aren't dancers! He made sure the night went without any snafus, and was incredibly polite/aware of the schedule when it came to checking in with us whether we were ready for each transition. He just made the night flow so smoothly and it was without a single regret that we paid him to stay extra - everyone was just having so much fun! THANK YOU again for your help in making our wedding the one we dreamed!

ful job and played everything we wanted (and nothing we didn’t). Both were great and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

they worked to ensure that everything went smoothly from the ceremony to speeches at cocktail hour and, of course, the reception. The music was killer! We got many complements on the selection, featuring classics through the decades that everyone from our grandparents to young children enjoyed dancing to! I would recommend Premier to anyone who needs a wedding DJ in the area!
