We cannot say enough great things about Albert and the Ready Entertainment team—they were simply the best decision we made for our wedding! From start to finish, Albert’s expertise and seamless planning system made organizing every detail for our music, ceremony, and reception a breeze. He thought of things we hadn’t even considered and offered creative suggestions to enhance our special day.
The DJ, MC, and photobooth attendant were nothing short of phenomenal. They delivered incredible music mixing, kept our diverse group of guests fully engaged, and ensured everyone was having a fantastic time. Whether it was holding the room’s attention during pivotal moments or keeping the dance floor packed, they made the experience unforgettable for all.
Albert offers unbeatable value with customizable packages that truly deliver more than what you pay for. After attending several wedding expos, we knew we struck gold with Ready Entertainment. We booked their DJ, MC, photobooth, music for the entire day, cold sparks, uplighting, dancing on the clouds, and more—it was the ultimate package for our dream wedding. Everything Albert recommended was a hit.
Albert’s attention to detail and planning expertise stood out the most. He helped us coordinate key moments like dances, speeches, and special effects with our guests’ enjoyment, as well as the quality of our photos and videos, in mind. His team was incredibly easy to work with, even at our venue, which had strict guidelines. They provided prompt communication, all necessary insurance documents, and were professional every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a stress-free experience with vendors who truly go above and beyond, Ready Entertainment is the way to go. Albert and his team helped make our wedding magical, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We hired Ready Entertainment for our wedding, and they exceeded all expectations. Albert, DJ Khoa, and their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. They use websites and apps to gather all the necessary details of your wedding. Photobooth was a great deal for quality pictures and an enthusiastic booth attendant. Their lighting and sound setup set up a great venue, and they were flexible with last-minute changes. Guests are still telling us how much fun they had.

We were thrilled when we found out Ready Entertainment had a DJ available to accommodate our wedding on such short notice. DJ Khoa represented Ready Entertainment exceptionally well. His professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. Our DJ went above and beyond, even asking about our theme colors to ensure the lighting fit perfectly. DJ Khoa was incredibly collaborative, coordinating seamlessly with our host, photographer, and event coordinator. The music kept everyone on their feet all night. I'd highly recommend DJ Khoa as well as Ready Entertainment for any event.

Words cannot describe how thankful we are for finding ready entertainment. Throughout the processing of wedding planning, Albert was always responsive to our wants and needs and made sure to cover everything necessary leading up to our big day. We were assigned DJ Khoa for our wedding and he was THE BEST! We created a playlist of music we wanted to have played, and Khoa did such a great job of reading the crowd and building off of our playlist. We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family regarding our DJ and our music. Ready Entertainment was everything we could've wanted and more!

We had a wonderful experience with Ready Entertainment. From the pre-wedding planning, to the DJ, to the lighting and atmosphere, everything was just as we planned. Albert was very helpful in the planning process and returned emails well within 24 hours. DJ Steven was great - he was on point with all of the music and he took requests from our guests. We had a few guests who asked who our DJ was because they thought he was great! The photo booth was a really nice addition and the attendant was very nice. He printed out an extra copy of everyone's photos to give to me at the end of the night. Lastly, the lighting really made everything look perfect! It was the best night! Thank you!

We got married this past weekend and had the best experience with Ready Entertainment. They kept everyone on the dance floor ALL. NIGHT. I had so many guests tell me our DJ was incredible. He was so professional and communications with Albert leading up made the night seamless. We had the best night of our lives thanks to the energy DJ Khoa brought to our reception. Their pricing is so reasonable for everything you get. We love how client-focused and how dedicated the team was to making our vision come to life. Albert makes it super easy to input everything into your own portal and schedules a touch point with you a few weeks before to make sure no stone is left unturned. If you’re on the fence on whether you should book with Ready Entertainment or not, DO IT. I cannot tell you how beyond satisfied we were!

Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away, and we know that Ready Entertainment played a significant role in creating that unforgettable atmosphere.

Music was THE most important factor for my husband and I and were over the moon with Ready Entertainment and their level of service. Albert was so responsive and overly accommodating with our requests along the entire planning process. Knowing our music preferences and how important this was for us, we were paired with Julius (DJ Jrip) for the night and it was the perfect fit. Julius really went over the top in making sure the vibe was right the whole time. We had 3 separate playlists with a different vibe for the cocktail hour, dinner and reception and he was able to match the vibe of each. Our groomsmen even changed up their entrance song last minute and Julius was able to accommodate without hesitation. We got so much feedback from our guests about how much fun they had dancing and how great the DJ was. It was truly the highlight of our night. They book up fast so don’t hesitate.

Ready Entertainment was great!! I only had them for the phot booth - but they were so accommodating. They allowed me to have either a single photo print out or a small strip of three photos with a custom logo and design. I've also attended two other weddings with them present - and their other features like the cold sparks and the Co2 gun was EPIC - my wedding venue just didn't let me use them. highly recommend. A normal, communicative and great team over there!

Ready Entertainment is a top notch DJ service. From start to finish, we loved every second working with them. Albert was incredibly responsive and efficient with all the prep work. Our day-of DJ (Lenny) and MC (Jonathan) were phenomenal! They were so nice and helped make the night run smoothly and when it was time to party, they knew what to do. All we wanted for our reception was good music that kept our guests on their feet and they did exactly that. The dance floor was packed the entire night. No one wanted to leave! We cannot recommend Ready Entertainment enough! We could tell they love what they do, which reflected in the quality of their work. Thank you to the whole team for making our wedding an unforgettable night!

Hired Ready Entertainment to provide 2 cold sparklers FOUR days before my wedding and it was the most fire decision we could’ve made! The sparklers really added to the vibe and energy of the reception, especially when everyone was on the dance floor, for a cost that was competitive with other vendors we reached out to. Trevor was our contact on the day-of and although we had little communication with him, everything went smoothly. 100% recommend!

We had a very low key wedding at a rustic style venue, speaking with Albert, he was very attentive to the vibe we wanted for the ceremony and happy hour, then gradually picked things up during the ceremony. We were able to collaborate with a Spotify playlist which the DJ used as a jumping off point to build on as a basis for our taste. The DJ timed our specified music perfectly during the ceremony, dances, and speeches. I definitely recommend Ready Entertainment, let them know what you are looking for and they will knock it out of the park.

Their photobooth was a big hit with the guests as well. High-quality photos and fast printout. They provided clear guidance to the guests.
For the music, we created a Spotify playlist with english, cantonese and mandarin songs for them to play during cocktail hour and reception. They delivered them well.
The whole process was seamless. I 100% recommend them. #supportAAPI

There was an attendant directing guests and printing the photos all night. We also utilized the uplights, ceremony audio set-up, cold sparks and CO2 guns.

We used Ready Entertainment for both our wedding photobooth and cold sparks. The photobooth utilized one of the highest-quality cameras I've seen as part of a photobooth - I was so so happy with it! In addition, the photobooth attendant was kind and patient in giving instructions. Lastly, the cold sparks were going off all night, which was just want we wanted.

There's a lot to touch on and I want to be very fair. First some context: We did not have budget to hire a coordinator. The reception venue did not provide us information regarding wifi and we assumed the DJ would be ready to go with or without internet connection. I also had my own preconceptions that the DJ would have a table/booth, turn-tables, etc. placed right on/near the dance floor for better crowd engagement and communication.
The DJ and assistant(?) who met us at the reception venue then (1) did not have wifi access and (2) had poor cellular data reception, but (3) and I feel most importantly, did not have the set lists downloaded prior to arrival. This caused a lot of issues with their sound system, announcements, playing assigned songs for dances, and keeping an even mix of cocktail and dinner music. We basically heard the same six songs on repeat with little variety while feeling very confused and frustrated.
I'll say this, the DJ and assistant were not taking these issues sitting down and clearly in word and body language felt awful. Thankfully, we had several savvy guests who were good with both technology and PR who took the reigns for my wife and I to worked with the DJ to get things back up and running. I still don't know all of what happened, but they fixed the problems and music for the rest of the night flowed much smoother and everyone was able to breathe easier. However, this also meant they were physically restricted to one spot rather than an ideal space near the dance floor.
As far as the DJ's crowd work goes, I expressed a few things in my booking. I wanted the DJ to work through and get creative with the set lists I provided in hopes they would read the room well to keep a steady vibe. During cocktail hour and dinner, there was the aforementioned tech issues, but we also provided a general idea of music to play from some of our favorite movie soundtracks. We hoped they would look through the playlists in advance to choose songs fitting for the atmosphere, but instead it seemed like they hit "shuffle all" and let things go, which let songs play that didn't always fit the low-key atmosphere we were hoping for during cocktails and dinner. This remained true during the dance time, and I had to at times prompt the DJ to switch up songs. The DJ and the assistant didn't lower music volume while making announcements, choked up on the microphone and sounded muffled, and really did not engage with the crowd during dancing.
Booking and communication prior to the event were great. Albert was prompt and clear and professional. But there seemed to be some communication lacking between Albert and his team with certain details (the length of parent/child dances, which songs belonged to which set, etc). Now, we have to give the team credit where it's due: they seriously turned it around and by the end of the night, everyone was having a great time and spirits were high. But it took a lot of stress to get there that we wish we didn't have to deal with or have our guests intercede for us to make the music happen.

Hi Kyle,
Thank you for your thorough review. There is a lot to unpack but bottom line is ...
that our service for your wedding was not up to standards and that is unacceptable on our part. Our DJ's are trained to always have the playlists downloaded to avoid any connectivity issues. They are also given a very detailed agenda (the one you and I walked through together on our calls) that is given to them at least one week in advance. Unfortunately it seems as though the DJ failed to review and meet our requirements and was unprepared for your event.
We wanted to let you know that this DJ is no longer a part of our team as their performance did not meet our standards. We always strive to give our clients the best service and experience and unfortunately, we fell short in this case. Once again thank you for your detailed review. We will take every step to make sure this does not occur in any of our future events.
We are happy to hear that by the end of the night, you and your guests had a great time. It was truly a pleasure working with you and your wife.
Best,
Albert Lee

Albert and his team, were simply, the best. I wish I had a more descript way of saying this, but in reality, they were just amazing. As many may know (and will find out), wedding planning can be extremely stressful and complicated, but Albert held our hands through the whole process, and NEVER ONCE did we ever feel like the DJ/MC/Photobooth portion of our wedding was questionnable. He and his team are the all in one package, and I have gotten rave reviews from our guests about the classy quality of the photobooth/backdrop, the seamless and entertaining music provided for not only the rehearsal, but the ceremony as well, and lastly, the AMAZING MC service Albert provided. The timing, agenda, EVERYTHING was on point. If we can give this 10+ stars, we would. HIGHLY recommend.

1000/10 recommend!!!
Look no further, you need to hire ReadyEnt Weddings ASAP for your upcoming wedding! My husband and I agree that this is was one of the best vendor decisions we’ve made. When we were searching, we didn’t want the typical lame wedding music but instead, EDM-influence b/c we are ravers. Albert has experience in music production in this space so he understood the assignment!
I feel so silly to even think + fear that no one would dance lol. It was the most dancing I’ve seen and our friends can’t stop talking about how fun the reception was. We got the WOW factor package which includes cold sparks, clouds, and photo booth. ReadyEnt Weddings truly delivered the entertainment! We can’t thank you enough :)

We cannot say enough good things about the staff at Ready Entertainment. Albert is extremely professional, always fast to respond, and easy to work with. The MC and DJ at our wedding were a blast - they totally got the preferences of our guests and the playlist was on point. I honestly think I danced for 7 straight hours, they were perfect. Would highly recommend!

Albert and his team were awesome to work with! We used their mid tier package and it was exactly what we needed and a little bit more for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Albert provided me with a Spotify playlist for me to add songs to so I could customize my reception as much or as little as I wanted. In addition, they did a great job mixing all the songs I provided so the flow of the music made sense and it gave everybody a chance to dance to something they enjoyed (they did an amazing job to avoid what I like to call "musical whiplash", when songs don't transition well). Overall I highly recommend hiring Albert and his team for any event.

ReadyEntertainment's set-up was GORGEOUS. For our wedding we had their video board, cold sparks and DJ booth and they did not disappoint. For our first dances and speeches we had slideshows projected on the massive video board and it was stunning. The music kept people going all night. I would just recommend triple checking with the DJ Team prior to ensure they are playing songs you requested. We did have a few songs that we did not want played, played so communication is key on both sides and making sure they are paying attention to the details you requested. Other than that, Albert is a DREAM to work with you would definitely recommend to anyone seeking an amazing set-up and amazing team!!!

Our DJ cancelled two days before our wedding, and Ready Entertainment came to the rescue! Albert was very responsive and communicative in setting up the details, and Devin was great as the onsite DJ. I would highly recommend you hire Ready Entertainment for your event!

We had DJ Drip (Julius) and he was on point with what music we wanted. Albert was super receptive and pretty much laid out everything for us in a really great and informative manner. Can't recommend them enough.

The Ready Entertainment team was absolutely phenomenal on the day of our wedding! Albert & Devin were the two team members we worked with and they were so easy to talk to and plan our wedding playlist. We made a few changes the week prior to the wedding and even on the day of the wedding and they were very open and flexible in changing things around for us. They were also great about taking song requests on the day of the wedding. Above everything, they were very nice and truly passionate about what they do! Our wedding incorporated two different cultures and the Ready Entertainment team did an excellent job mixing together songs we requested that highlighted both cultures and did it expertly. Our wedding guests enjoyed the compilation of songs and had a blast. My husband and I definitely recommend this fabulous team for your big day!

We hired Albert and his team at Ready Entertainment with their "Party Starter" package and it really was perfect for our wedding! The lighting and music were top notch and the DJ was very experienced and brought the right energy to our wedding. DJ Khoa worked with us before the event to coordinate exactly what we wanted for the ceremony/reception music and really got everyone on the dance floor and having a great time!

Ready Entertainment truly exceeded our expectations! The DJ was more than prepared and they turned our venue into something magical. The lights and the music were perfect and they made everything so easy for us. We had to deal with many vendors but Albert and his team were the easiest and most seamless. Book Ready Entertainment and they will do the rest!
