We are so happy that we chose Premier Entertainment to DJ our wedding a couple weeks ago! Chris was amazing from the very beginning. He has the greatest personality and made planning things super fun. He was quick to respond when I had last minute requests, and above all kept everyone on the dance floor ALL night! I highly recommend booking Chris for your next event and do yourself a favor and add the Love Story, it was so special!
Ethan was awesome for our wedding. He kept the schedule of the day flowing and the dance floor bopping! His funny wit and nerdy personality was a perfect fit for us. In fact, we met him at a wedding show and knew immediately he was the perfect DJ and we booked him 18 months before the wedding. He was helpful with pre planning and song selections as well in the lead up to the big day. Their online planning tool was also very helpful, kept things organized, and was a good way to get important information to the DJ. Ethan was also prepared for any wedding day emergencies and had Shout stain remover on hand when there was a dinner mishap. During the party he took requests and learned we were also a group of theater nerds and adapted quickly. He had the whole room singing show tunes at the end of the night. It was an absolute perfect way to end the night for us. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect DJ.
Chis was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was an absolute blast and we could not have asked for anything better. Very easy communication, planning, and not one detail was missed.
We were referred to the owner of Premier Entertainment, Chris, by one of our groomsmen and dear friend. We were immediately hooked after our first meeting with Chris and secured our booking. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely quick to respond, organized, and professional. More importantly, he has become our friend too. I can’t say enough to convey how wonderful he was the day of, but I will leave it by noting I received endless compliments about our wedding having the “best dance party ever!” I highly recommend booking him for your wedding or event needs. You won’t be disappointed!
Chris DJed our wedding this weekend, and I cannot recommend him enough! We only gave him a few songs to play and then just requested it felt like a nightclub. He delivered this and more. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long, and we never wanted to the night to end. He also was a great host & made all announcements at the right time and helped us to determine a schedule that worked for everyone! I couldn’t recommend enough!
We can't recommend Premiere Entertainment and Chris enough! Not only was he an awesome DJ, but he also acted as a fantastic host, seamlessly guiding us through the evening. The music he played kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. The dance party was epic. Every song choice was spot-on, and he mixed in some of our personal favorites perfectly. We still have people commenting about the playlist. Chris provided all the music, microphones, and sound for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we received many compliments on the quality. Guests noted how fantastic the sound was, saying they could hear every moment of the ceremony and all the speeches clearly. We couldn't be happier with our choice!
I was extremely impressed with Premier Entertainment!! I had spoke with Mitch. He told me he could work with my budget, I told him what I was wanting and he made it happen!!
I can honestly say I wasn't sure what to expect but this father/ son team were very professional and kind. Their lighting was wonderful! It really helped put the space together. They stepped us through our timeline on what to expect each step of the way from ceremony to reception. I did not hire a wedding planner of any sort and I'm glad I didn't. It wasn't needed! These men pretty much help run my wedding....I was blown away and very impressed!
They made our evening entertaining even though we weren't much of the dancing type people. They kept it alive and fun!!
I highly recommend these guys! It was worth every dollar and if I ever need a DJ again I know who I'm calling. 🙂
Chris did an incredible job at our wedding! He listened to every request my husband and I had. By the end of the night everyone was asking how we found our DJ! The dance floor was packed ALL night long, just as we wanted!
Shope, with Premier Entertainment was a rockstar to work with. From our initial meeting until the reception, every interaction with her was a blast. She made recommendations for the flow of the evening and for a couple fun things to help entertain the guests while they were waiting to be called to the buffet. Towards the end of the night she even got on the dance floor for a quick turn in a dance battle with the rest of the wedding party and remaining guests. Throughout the night she kept the guests entertained and did her best to keep the dance floor full!
Hands down, the best DJ we could have had for our wedding! From planning the day to completion, Chris acted with great professionalism and friendliness. He treated us with kindness, and we felt like he really got to know us through the process! He delivered a superb playlist, and his efforts extended the happiness of the day! If you’re looking for a great DJ and an all around great guy, you’ve found him in Chris!
If you’re looking for a DJ that is professional, thorough and best of all can keep a party popping, I can assure you, you will find that with Chris. Premier Entertainment and Chris Ortleib exceeded all our expectations for our wedding day. Chris's professionalism and attention to detail, and adaptability were impeccable. From the initial consultation to the last dance, he ensured every moment was perfect. He ensured he knew the established timeline, got to know our party, and provided thoughtful recommendations when we were finding it difficult to make a decision. During our wedding, Chris’s ability to read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor and singing along to our favorite bops was remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend Chris and Premier Entertainment for any event! Maybe he’ll even let you take over the DJ booth and make YOUR DJ dreams come true. Our wedding was so, so fun and much of that was all thanks to our master of music and events, Chris.
Ethan was AMAZING. He was funny, interacted with our guests and was hype the whole time. We got so many compliments on how awesome and friendly he was. I would 10/10 recommend.
Ethan was absolutely fantastic! He brought such good vibes. Scale of 1-5 he was a 10 in all categories! We will highly recommend him to everyone!
Our night wouldn’t have been the same without Chris Ortleib! Premier Entertainment was our choice instantly after meeting Chris. He has such an easy going personality and is 1000% dedicated in making your musical plans come to life. Our night was a hit thanks to him! At one point everyone and I mean everyone was on the dance floor having a blast.
Chris took such great care of my partner and I for our wedding. He was so easy to talk to and connect with and really understood our vision for our special day. We purchased the Love Story add on and he did an AMAZING job with writing a really funny, entertaining, and heart felt story with the answers we gave him on the questionnaire. He was quick to respond and the website interface made organizing information really easy.
Our music choice was a mix of goth, emo, and pop-punk and Chris pulled out all the stops and delivered. Over a month and a half later, we still have friends and family members tell us how great he was and how much fun the dance floor was.
Ethan was absolutely fantastic and kept the crowd going all night. He was super helpful in the planning process and was able to make sure there was never a dull moment.
Chris and Premier Entertainment did a fantastic job at our wedding! Chris was very helpful during the planning stages, extremely organized, professional, and communicated well throughout the entire process. He was very easy to work with and helped make our wedding day special and fun! Highly recommend!
Ethan Rivera is absolutely fantastic! I discovered Premiere Entertainment at a local wedding expo and I immediately knew he was the one for our wedding. His high energy is unmatched and is exactly what is needed to get your guests up and moving towards the dance floor! Not only was Ethan professional, he was flexible with working through some last minute adjustments and answering a bunch of questions. He truly kept our wedding reception on track and helped it go as smoothly as possible despite some concerns with other vendors present. He even joined us on the dancefloor towards the end of the night!!
One thing to keep in mind is that Premiere Entertainment has multiple DJs working under the umbrella so if you want a particular DJ for your wedding date, make sure to specifically request that person and ensure they are available for your day. The contract doesn’t specifically state which DJ will be assigned to your contract due to liability concerns which is totally understandable BUT keep this in mind so you don’t expect a particular person and may be assigned to someone else due to availability .
Chris and his assistant were absolutely AMAZING! From our first meeting with Chris, we knew we were going to hire him. He genuinely cares about us and our needs as people. He did not try to push the sale on us either. One of the most laid back, kind, and relatable people I have ever met. As far as pricing, Premier Entertainment is extremely affordable, for the value and service you’re getting - no one can compare. He kept the dance floor moving and we are lucky he was available to DJ our wedding. Also Ryan Williamson says Hi! 😂
Ethan DJ’d our wedding reception and did an exceptional job! Leading up to the event, he spoke with us several times to discuss details and learn about our music preferences for the reception. At the wedding, Ethan exhibited high energy and an engaging personality that had our guests impressed. In fact, several guests requested his contact information so they could possibly use his services in the future! Ethan was great to work with and helped make our wedding day a hit!
Absolutely amazing! Chris and his assistant did an AMAZING job at our wedding. Chris is extremely personable and honest. He truly makes the experience about YOU. He was also our officiant. So, I can truly say that from the ceremony to the dance floor he kept the party going. Compliments all night long from our guests about how good the DJs were. Don’t walk, RUN to get him booked for your wedding!
If I could give Chris 10 stars I would! He is the best out there. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and is solely focused on what YOU want. He was the DJ for my wedding & he did a phenomenal job. I would hire premier entertainment again and again! HIGHLY recommend, 10/10!!!!!
Chris did an amazing job at our wedding in October of '22. He helped with mics through our outdoor ceremony and absolutely nailed the music selections through cocktail hour, dinner, and, of course, dancing! He worked with us a head of time to make selections for the various events throughout the evening and created a very memorable "love story" introduction for us that was a huge hit. Thanks so much, Chris, for a wonderful wedding celebration!
Chris was the most perfect DJ I could have ever asked for or imagined! He helped me with my timeline, which was amazing. He kept the dance floor full all night! My favorite thing and something that everyone loved was the voiceover he made for our first dance. It had everyone in tears (happy tears) and everyone commented that it was something they had never seen- which we all know is rare!! He was so nice and professional throughout the whole process. I can't say enough! You won't be disappointed!
Chris and the whole team at Premier Entertainment were fantastic to work with. Everyone was very professional but also so much fun for the planning process, rehearsal, ceremony, and reception for our wedding. Chris is very responsive and a huge help in making everything go smoothly! Excellent as a ceremony officiant and he made sure that the dance floor was full the entire night!! We did the Love Story and it was such a great way for guests to hear all about both of us, and led perfectly into our first dance. Hiring Chris was one of our easiest and best decisions!
I can not put into words how pleased we are with our experience hiring Premier Entertainment. From start to finish, Chris and Ethan were attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Ethan truly seemed excited about hosting our wedding and it showed in his work. We couldn't be happier with our choice and our guests are still talking about the trivia questions to release tables to eat and the music. I highly recommend Premier Entertainment!
Really liked working with Chris for our wedding!
An experienced DJ is going to make an enormous difference in the execution and the atmosphere of your day! This is why Chris was our most complimented vendor, by a landslide. He was extremely invested in our day from the start. He had our timeline, learned our family, asked our worries, and reassured them. He does an excellent job at drawing the room’s focus back to moments of high importance, and he does it with grace and professionalism. He checked in and queued us as a couple before each agenda to ensure we were ready, and not caught off guard, which is very easy thing to be on such a big day. We just adored him. He’s the liaison, co-host, well rounded person we needed for our sanity AND not to mention, our dance floor was packed the entire night! He took our taste and read the room, and kept the entire reception on their feet. Thank you, truly!
Quality of Service:
10/10
Chris was extraordinarily accommodating, especially with the groom and his pre-wedding anxiety. The specific line I remember is "Whatever happens I will be there for you". His process, especially the love story, feels hand crafted, intentional and extremely well done.
Responsiveness:
10/10
Never had any issues getting in touch.
Professionalism:
10/10
Chris exudes professionalism, every conversation you have you know you're talking to someone who's been in the business for years. We sought his advice for what to do with announcements for my divorced parents and he nailed it. We asked if he would be cool being somewhat away from the dance floor originally and he said "I'd like to be closer if possible" and he's totally right. He should be front and center, leading the action.
Value:
10/10
After seeing what Chris did for a friend's wedding we chose him without even knowing the price knowing that no matter what it was, it was worth it. And, after our wedding, I can say we were 100% correct in choosing him.
Flexibility:
10/10
Since we had a non-traditional wedding party we weren't sure how to announce them and chris had the best ideas and executed it flawlessly.
We are so glad we went with Premier Entertainment and especially with Chris. He played every song we requested and even sprinkled in other dancey/disco songs that were right up our alley. He rolled with all of the punches that my family and friends threw at him and was super friendly and fun! Also during the planning process, he really took the time to get to know us as well as know our unique style of musical tastes. I would recommend him to any of my friends!
Chris was absolutely incredible!! Extremely responsive, considerate, easy going and very fun. His attention to detail was impressive and the day of my wedding he rocked the show! He did a wonderful job at keeping everyone happy and contributed to making my wedding day perfect. Thank you Chris! 10/10 recommend!
Chris was amazing from the day we first spoke to the big day itself. He is super fun and extremely easy to talk to, which made our planning sessions some of the most enjoyable parts of the wedding planning process. We never really knew what a “master of ceremonies” was, until we had the pleasure of having Chris DJ our wedding. The way the evening flowed from the ceremony to the dance floor was seamless and all thanks to him. We had a handful of songs we wanted played, and he took that list and crafted the perfect night of music which kept our guests dancing all night long. And to add to his awesomeness, he would constantly be checking on us throughout the evening just in case we needed ANYTHING – food, drink, song request, anything. It was just super thoughtful and goes to show the care that Chris puts in to make your event as special as possible. Highly highly highly recommend Chris, he is the absolute best.
Ethan was the BEST DJ! We were so impressed with the time that he took to get to know us as a couple, our music preferences, our bridal party, and our venue set-up. He nailed the type of music that we wanted (tops hits + folk/country), even though he said it was not one of his typical music preferences. We loved how he engaged with our guests during slower portions of the day, like the buffet dinner, and joined on the dance floor for songs like The Wobble. We wish we could throw another party for Ethan to DJ!
Hi everyone! We had Chris for both my husband and I’s wedding and he also did my sister in laws. When I say stop and give him a call right now I mean it. Chris made our wedding the best day of our lives. I only want the same for whomever is reading this, he is an unreal person and an unreal DJ. He made our wedding so special and intimate, he is the absolute BEST. He gave us the most perfect wedding I could have ever imagined.
If you're planning a wedding, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Chris. My wife and I just got married on 7/20/2019 and I cannot tell you how amazing Chris was. He is incredibly talented. He knew all of the right things to say, knew the right music to play and was an absolute blast to be around. So many people at our wedding asked if we had known our DJ prior to our wedding because of how well he got to know us and such a personal touch he added to that night. He provides a service called a "Love Story" where he gathers information about your relationship with your significant other and then tells a captivating story at your reception, which was awesome! If you can't tell, my wife and I loved Chris. Chris, thank you for making our night perfect! We will definitely be using you again in the future!
Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!
Chris absolutely nailed our wedding. The way he worked with us when planning the big day made it feel like we were his only clients for the summer. His attention to detail was outstanding and delivered on all fronts, from helping plan, running the rehearsal, MC'ing our big day, to playing as many bangers as possible; he killed it. I recall one of my friends referring to him as "Zedd" lol. I've also had multiple friends ask me who he was after the wedding so they could get him for their wedding. I can't say enough nice things about Chris.
Chris was amazing to work with and made our wedding SO MUCH FUN. From the day we met him, my husband and I knew that he was the right person for our big day. He is funny, thoughtful, thorough, and easy to work with. We always looked forward to our meetings with him. We knew for our reception that we could trust him to "do his thing," and when he told our Love Story, I knew that was the right decision! He told our story beautifully but with enough humor to make it authentically ours. I would recommend Chris without any hesitation.
Chris was our wedding DJ on June 23, 2018. He was so attentive to our wants and needs leading up the wedding. We were married about 2 1/2 hours away from where we live so meeting was difficult but he worked with us on that and we had a skype meeting! He really thinks about every detail to make sure everything goes smoothly. I was so impressed by his attention to detail. It really helped calm my nerves about things going the way we have planned. The day of went perfect, every song we wanted to play was played, and every song I didn't want played wasn't! Chris is professional, but fun and understanding of each individuals needs. He made the day so special by creating out 'love story.' It was directly after we were introduced to the reception, we were led to the dance floor, then Chris told our love story. It was amazing. A real memory! Thank you for all of your hard work, Chris, I truly appreciate it!
Chris is amazing! He was not only very professional (quick to respond to emails/ texts/ phone calls/ schedule meetings), but he was also very personable and friendly. He made it a point to get to know me and my husband so that he could understand our vision for our wedding day. He put in so many personal touches. And importantly, he's great at reading the crowd so our dance floor was packed the entire night. I would 100% recommend using Chris. He made this part of wedding planning super fun and easy!
“I waited for the DJ to play a crappy song so that I could go pee, but he never did.. so I held it in the whole time and just couldn’t stop dancing!” -maid of honor.
From the beginning planning stages to the actual night, everything went smoothly and perfectly with Premier. Would highly recommend going with Premier for any event!
Chris was absolutely AMAZING! He was one of the best investments we made in our wedding. He was the first and only DJ we met with because once we met with him, there was no need to look further. Throughout the planning process, he was quick to respond and answer any questions we had and provide suggestions and recommendations for things he thought would work for our day. We had a friend officiate the wedding, and Chris ran the entire rehearsal which put everyone at ease. The day of the wedding, he ran the timeline so we didn't need to worry about keeping track of time or really worry about anything. Best of all, he had our dance floor packed the entire reception! We couldn't have been more pleased with Chris and would recommend him to anyone we know!
Ricardo was awesome, from our meeting to get to know each other,to song advice, to special mixes, he helped make everything go smoothly and everyone entertained!
Chris at Premier Entertainment provided an unforgettable night of entertainment at our wedding! Since we did not have a wedding planner, Chris gladly took on the role of Master of Ceremonies. During a few meetings with him prior to the wedding, he helped us plan out the entire night, from music before/after the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Not only did he control the music, but his help with the timeline and flow of the night was so helpful. He allowed us to pick the music that we wanted to hear and blacklisted songs we really didn't like. He paid so much attention to the details like how to pronounce each bridal party member's last name, the cadence of the night, and even found a way to create a custom version of the song Melissa walked down the aisle to. All of our guests kept telling us how awesome the DJ was and we can't thank Chris enough for making the best night of our lives truly memorable, for us and everyone else who attended!! Highly recommend using Chris for any event!!
I am an Event Coordinator with Fantastic Event Direction and have hired Chris with Premier Entertainment for a few of my client's events. He is always on time, meticulous, fun, outgoing and can read a crowd to get them on the dance floor. He follows the timeline of events, and has the skills to "roll with it" if the timeline strays. I will hire him for many more events.
Chris was wonderful to work with. He was meticulous and very organized and involved. I felt bad that most of our guests left early so it wasn't a big dance party that I would've showed off his great skills. But he did an awesome job for our little group. He was great and I will recommend him to everyone!
First of all, I would like to say that our special day would not have been the same without Chris. He assured that all our wishes were fulfilled. He is highly organized and sits down with the couple to hash out all the little details. He is very experienced and makes helpful suggestions. He was a perfect master of ceremonies. He kept the night moving and on time. He played a great mix of music. The guests loved him! I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Chris was an absolute blast!! We got SO many compliments on him on our wedding night. He knew just what to play from our playlist to keep the party moving, and we had a wide range of ages with our guests. I had a special request....no Michael Jackson...and he did an AWESOME job explaining that to guests. Even more importantly, Chris was great to work with before the wedding. He was always very responsive and quick when I would email him questions or changes. He was very thorough in our pre-wedding meeting and to my surprise he called the day before the rehearsal to go over everything one more time to make sure we were on the same page, which really reassured me that the day would go smooth. He went above and beyond the roles of a DJ on our wedding day....asking my husband and I if we needed anything to drink, ran to get things for me from the bridal room, anything and everything we needed. Our wedding wouldn't have been half as great if it wasn't for him!!!
My husband and I are so glad we used Premier Entertainment for our wedding. We received so many complements on our wedding DJ. One of our friends told us she has been to a lot of weddings, and we had the best DJ by far! Chris made the process so easy for us. He took a lot of his time to sit down with us and go through every detail of our wedding to make sure it was everything we wanted. He coordinated the whole event, he put together a schedule of events for all of the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, and he even poured our champagne before the toasts! He is truly the whole package!
On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Chris made sure the cocktail hour and reception went smooth. When the guests were dancing, he knew exactly what song to play to keep everybody happy! We would 100% recommend Premier Entertainment for a couple looking for a DJ!
I met with Chris 3 times before our wedding day and he was awesome to work with every single time! He helped us bring the vision for our reception to life and was a vital part of the decision making process with our music and order of events for our reception. He is great with interacting with everyone, especially the bride and groom; he asked us so many times throughout the night if we liked what he was playing, if there was anything we wanted to change, even if we wanted another drink! He worked with our photographers and our reception venue to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. He calls himself a Master of Ceremonies and he certainly is one! He had everyone up dancing from the first song until the last song of the night. Everyone raved about him the weeks after the wedding and I HIGHLY suggest him! We could not have found a better DJ for our wedding!
UPDATE: My best friend used Chris for her wedding this past weekend, and of course proved again how awesome he truly is! Towards the end of the night, Chris played my my husband and I's first song....How Chris remembered our first song from almost a year ago (especially because we used a discrete cover) is beyond me, and absolutely amazes me! Love, love, love Chris. He's amazing at what he does, no one comes close to him in his field, and he is an amazing guy to work with!
