seamlessly, and from the very first song, our dance floor was poppin’. We have a very “lively” crew of friends who were ready to party, and Wayne made sure to set the party level at 10 all night long. He is talented at keeping the party going, reading the room, taking requests, and creating an overall amazing atmosphere. We could not imagine our day without Rockout, and we know the party would not be half as perfect without them!

was a huge hit! We are still receiving compliments on the music for our wedding day from guests of all ages saying things like "For once, I danced at a wedding!" "The dance floor was never empty!" The music was high energy and really kept the crowd engaged from start to finish. Wayne's attention to detail was unmatched. He helped us edit our first dance song to be a little shorter but still have all of the important parts of the song. He truly knows what he is doing and cares about the work he does. He knows just what to play to get the party started! He respected and followed our robust "do not play" list. His energy is contagious and everyone around him is always smiling! I would recommend Rock Out Entertainment to anyone looking for good vibes for their event!

What an amazing night!

ent. From the very beginning, I knew I was in good hands. Wayne is a pleasure to work with and beyond professional. He was on top of everything, even the tiny details, and things couldn’t have run smoother. He makes your vision come to life and throws one fantastic party. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received about Wayne and his professionalism and overall presence. THANK YOU!
Wayne and Tone from Rock Out Entertainment were amazing to work with from start to end. We knew we were in excellent hands from the first phone conversation with Wayne and when fil...
ling out the detailed questionnaire. Rock Out Entertainment did not leave anything to question, which completely kept our minds at ease throughout the whole Wedding day.
One thing that will forever stay with us about this amazing duo was when the Bride wanted to do a special surprise for the Groom at the ceremony and Rock Out Entertainment executed this flawlessly. It was truly an unforgettable moment and we will forever be grateful to Rock Out Entertainment for this.
Another thing that made our day so special was having Tone there with his arabic drum. He is an outstanding drummer and really highlighted our Lebanese heritage! This was an AWESOME surprise for our guests and they are still talking about it!
Rock Out Entertainment truly delivered on our Wedding day and we can’t thank them enough!
We unfortunately had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19 related issues, so we unfortunately did not get to experience Rock Out Entertainment's DJ services. However, I wanted to ...
write a review for the professionalism and kindness we experienced from DJ Wanye and Rock Out Entertainment. Wayne was incredibly kind and accommodating during this time and it made a huge difference to us. With all of the vendor horror stories we have been hearing, we wanted to highlight one vendor who made the process easier on us. We can see the high recommendations Rock Out Entertainment has received based on their services, and we would like to recommend them for their professionalism and character as well.
We were so pleased with Rock Out Entertainment! D.J. Richard was so amazing! He was very on top of the timeline throughout the reception and kept my husband and I informed about wh...
at was coming up next (e.g., cake cutting, speeches, first dance). This was so helpful and really let us relax and enjoy all the moments. He also pronounced all the names of our bridal party perfectly! He made sure to check with each member of the party before our entrance so that the pronunciation was correct. My husband and I also have a pretty difficult last name to pronounce so we were very relieved that he took the time to get it right.
All our guests are still talking about what an amazing job D.J. Richard did in terms of music selection throughout the night. We gave him a general idea of what we liked before the big day but really let him decide what was best based on the crowd. We are so glad we let him do his thing because he was able to feel the crowd and keep everyone out on the dance floor as soon as it opened up. We are so happy with the service Rock Out Entertainment provided and cannot recommend them enough!
Seriously could not have asked for a better DJ. Wayne Kinney and Rock Out Entertainment were the best we could have ever hoped for. They made our day absolutely unforgettable. Ever...
ything went very smoothly and they took the last second curveballs we threw at them completely in stride. We will definitely be recommending these guys to everyone and we will continue to use them for all of our events in the future!

sband Kyle and I had our ceremony and reception at Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club on September 7th in Clarkston, MI. From the ceremony music, cocktail hour and dinner music, to playing great music for dancing, Wayne did an amazing job throughout the entire night. Not only did he keep the entire dance floor packed all night, he was also so great with keeping events of the evening rolling.
We had our dance floor outside our venue on the back patio. He set up purple (my favorite color) spotlights on the trees surrounding the dance floor, which was simply breathtaking. Everyone danced the night away under the trees, stars, and bistro lights. It was truly magical.
Wayne also surprised us by providing giant glow sticks, which were a HUGE hit! He interacted with everyone on the dance floor well and had us change the color of the glow sticks to different songs. Guests came up to us throughout the night, raving about how great the DJ and music was.
Wayne- Thank you so much for being apart of our wedding day. I honestly never left the dance floor and burned my shoes black from dancing so hard. It was the best day of our lives!
"That was the most fun I've had at a wedding in years!" This was a common sentiment among our guests, and Wayne played a huge role in making our party amazing. We can't say enough...
good things about Rock Out Entertainment -- not only did Wayne keep the party moving and provide great music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, but he really hit it out of the park for dancing. He "read the room" extremely well and kept the crowd-pleasers coming... the dance floor was packed all night long. Also, the giant glow sticks were a big hit. :) We really appreciate that Wayne took the time before wedding day to meet with us, get to know our style, and solidify a detailed plan. We had a complete blast with our friends and family, and that's thanks to his talent!
Really enjoyed working with Matt from RockOut Entertainment for our wedding! For full disclosure, we did have an issue with the ceremony music being completely missed because there...
was a miscommunication about the time of the ceremony, but Matt was extremely apologetic and up front with us about the mistake, and he busted his a** to make sure the rest of the night went off without a hitch. He is a phenomenal reception DJ - the music choices, volume, and flow were absolutely perfect, and our guests (and we!) had an amazing time dancing the entire night. Matt is exceptionally talented, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for your DJ needs, just make sure you go over the timeline!
I just had DJ Justin and he was beyond amazing. From the very first email this company has been extremely helpful, kind, professional, and fun!! From the start of planning to the e...
nd of the evening they rocked everything out! Everyone was asking where are dj came from and how much they loved him. I absolutely recommend him to anyone!!
Wayne was the DJ at my daughter's wedding he did the ceremony music as well as the reception. I can't express what a great addition he was. We had so many compliments on the music ...
and the DJ. Wayne had great recommendations on what songs to use for the ceremony. He was told what types of music they wanted and Wayne took it from there. He really is an expert at reading the crowd. Our guest were up dancing all night. Prior to dancing he kept the night running smoothly, he was prompt and so easy to work with. My daughter did not want a "cheesy" DJ. Once she and her fiance met with Wayne they were completely confident he would do a great job. I highly recommend Rock Out Entertainment for a seamless evening of fun!
DJ Ric and Nabil were great and very professional. We loved everything about the service they provided. We loved the look of the DJ area as they brought decor to cover the speakers...
and dj table... Plus they played music that we asked for. We were very happy to have them be a part of the wedding. We are so grateful to have found you guys!
Thank you Rock Out Entertainment for making our wedding amazing! Your team was wonderful to work with. I appreciate your responsiveness and thoughtfulness. DJ Justin took time to ...
get to know us. He made sure to know what we wanted on our wedding day... and what we didn't want! DJ Justin and MC Sean were the best duo! We had dozens of guests come up to us during the wedding telling us that our DJ was incredible. We also had multiple guests tell us that our DJ was the best they had ever seen! A testament to their skills was the fact that the dance floor was full the entire night. My husband and I danced the entire night with our guests! We didn't have any other entertainment (i.e. photo booth) so I was hoping and praying that people would want to dance! With DJ Justin and MC Sean you have to dance (well they don't force you, but you want to)! My 90-year old grandmother was on the dance floor! Rock Out also did our up-lighting... it was stunning! We could never thank Rock Out Entertainment enough. We have so many wonderful memories from our wedding day... and a lot of them are on the dance floor with our family and friends!
Rock Out Entertainment was one of our highlights of our wedding. It was extremely important to us to have an amazing dance party, and Justin Forella created that for us. The planni...
ng process was incredibly easy--there was a questionnaire that was comprehensive and easy to use, and Justin was easy to reach on the phone during the planning process (we were out of state). I totally trusted Justin to implement our wedding vision of a dance party, and he did not disappoint. He did an incredible job of reading the crowd, and playing music that would get everybody on the dance floor. I could not recommend Justin and Rock Out Entertainment enough!
DJ Seth Michaels did an amazing job for our wedding. He was very professional and made sure in the planning he knew exactly what we were looking for. He made sure to play the songs...
and vibe I was looking for the entire time. He kept the dance floor packed until the very end. I received a lot of compliments on him. Highly recommend!
People came up to my husband and I all night talking about how awesome Wayne was! He kept us at ease through out the whole night and definitely kept the party going. So professiona...
l and fun! Best ever!
Hiring Wayne was hands-down one of the best things we did for our wedding. Throughout our planning process he was great - very easy to communicate with, listened carefully to what ...
we wanted, and provided excellent guidance in creating the perfect plan for our evening. He even pushed back a little bit with our no-play-list and we are SO glad we trusted him. At our wedding he carried himself with extreme professionalism, was gracious in all interactions with guests, and showed great balance using the mic without being overbearing. Additionally he was extremely patient and flexible when the weather delayed our ceremony setup. He artfully checked off all of our song requests throughout the evening, and even brought out surprise glowsticks that were a huge hit with all of our guests! He was excellent at reading the room, changing songs as needed to keep the dance floor full the whole evening. He showed amazing attention to detail, even subtly managing our large family to better distribute/balance the dance floor. We heard several our guests saying he was the best wedding DJ that they had ever experienced and we couldn't agree more. Don't hesitate, book him now!!
Rock Out Entertainment was amazing! Wayne kept our cocktail hour and reception flowing with great music, and stuck to the itinerary throughout the night. He was kind and considerat...
e of our wishes, and would respond in a timely manner via email or phone. His services were reasonably priced, and the online survey was easy and made things straightforward. Wayne got the party started after all the formalities and kept everyone on the dance floor until the end of the reception! Everyone loved the glow sticks he offers and it added an awesome element to the party!
Thank you Rock Out Entertainment!!
Wayne did an fantastic job at our wedding not only with the music but the up-lighting was amazing! I could not believe how beautiful a room could become simply by lighting pillars ...
and walls the right way. It was breathtaking walking in.
Wayne had all our requested "special" dance songs and kept all our guests motivated all night long. Wayne & Rockout Entertainment is definitely more than just a DJ!
Best DJ Ever! Simply put my guests did not leave the dance floor from start to finish. Wayne is very organized and accommodating. He gives great advice and is just a music wiz. He...
does a great job getting to know you and understanding your vision for your big day . I cannot thank him enough for making my wedding the best night of my life!
I can never thank Rockout Entertainment enough for making our big day absolutely perfect in every way possible. You all have incredible talent for throwing a party and all of my gu...
ests raved about how much fun they had on the dance floor. We had a blast! Seriously, stop searching for wedding DJs and hire Rockout Entertainment as soon as possible! They're the BEST!
Wayne was a perfect fit for our wedding, and was so great to work with. He met with us twice before the wedding to get a feel for our musical preferences and get to know each other...
. He helped us organize the night in terms of the timeline and how the flow would work. His music was perfect, not too many slow dances and so many fun dances! He was able to easily judge the mood of the crowd and adjust the music. He took requests , but made sure that our music preferences were kept in mind. The best part of the night was when Wayne brought out the glow sticks, it seemed like all the wedding guests got on the dance floor! We had so much fun dancing the whole night!
Wayne from Rock-Out Entertainement is an incredible DJ. He is professional, friendly, fun, and had the dance floor at our wedding packed for the entire evening! His mix of music ...
was incredible! He took the time to get to know my family throughout the evening and added some personal touches to our playlist for us! He even surprised us with light sticks which were such a hit! Everyone had a blast, and I'm SO thankful we hired Rock-Out Entertainment. SO many friends and family complimented Wayne to us since our wedding! We're so thankful for how he turned our wedding reception into such a fun night.
Wayne is hands down the greatest DJ! We had met a few times leading up to the big day, and we explained to him how we wanted it to be a fun, great party, and make sure everyone is ...
on the dance floor the entire night...he exceeded that by far!!! I don't think anyone left the dance floor the entire night. I told him I wanted our wedding to be the greatest party of 2017, and it was...I'd like to thank Wayne for making that possible!
We hired Wayne to be our DJ for our wedding on 9/16/17 and he did not disappoint! From the beginning, he was kind and prompt with his communication. We met prior to hire and discus...
sed our vision for our wedding day. The week prior to the wedding, we reviewed the timeline together. We did use our own MC (a family friend) and Wayne was totally cool with it all! We also needed to play some traditional Greek music from a home Apple laptop, and this was not an issue at all! I provided a list of "to play" songs, and heard many of them played throughout the night and my "do not play" list was honored. Above all, the dance floor was PACKED from the moment the first dance started - it was amazing and exactly what we wanted for our wedding - people dancing all night long!!! It was wonderful, and over exceeded my expectations. Wayne was able to read the crowd and keep the dance floor moving - 110% recommend! Plus, he referred us to our photobooth (Memory Box), who was able to give us some extra discounts because of the referral. Additionally, Wayne set up the sound system for our outdoor ceremony last minute, with no additional charge - very sweet and much appreciated. Thank you so much Wayne!!!
Wayne was the absolute best wedding DJ! He not only was incredibly responsive to all steps of my planning process, including making a special trip out to my venue (my parent's cou...
ntry farm) to make sure every detail was planned in advance. On the day of the wedding Wayne was timely, professional, and so kind in helping get things set up for our homegrown wedding. Once the event started he was a blast and did a great job reading the crowd to keep the party going. He was so charming and fun to be with. He was even a great help to our photographer by adding extra lights on the dance floor to help her pictures turn out better. My photographer even mentioned to me that he was especially kind, he rescued her suitcase of equipment by pulling it inside the tent when it began to sprinkle. Wayne really made my special day that much more special! I cannot recommend him and Rockout enough!
We found Wayne from a recommendation from my wedding planner, Ana at TwoFoot Creative. We had a little bit of a non-traditional wedding—I’m Polish and my husband is Peruvian and J...
apanese, so the music was something we really wanted to reflect our blended family and friends. Wayne nailed it. We envisioned a music full of latino music and culture, but with pops of traditional fun dance songs for my family. We provided him with a list of our favorite songs beforehand in case he didn’t have the type of music we wanted. Surprisingly, he already had a lot of the songs and created the exact atmosphere we hoped for, and maybe even better! Our friends and family made a number of requests, including a polka and a lot of latin party music, and he (after checking with us) played everything requested. Our goal was for people to want to get up and dance, and the dance floor was full for the entire evening. He wasn’t one of the annoying DJs that is always on the microphone, and we are still getting compliments from guests about how great he was.
Rock out did an amazing job at our wedding this past Friday. They made sure everything went according to plan and executed it perfectly. They played all of the right hits, and kept...
our guests entertained at all times. It's so important to have a DJ that is engaged, and they even got out on the dance floor themselves at one point. Love the energy that they had. Thank you Rock Out & Seth for making our night a blast.
This DJ is awesome! We had Nabil, and we had the absolute best time at our wedding! My mother in law was impressed that at most wedding half the guests leave when things got loud a...
nd that was NOT THE CASE AT OUR WEDDING!! He kept 260 people entertained and happy, the glow sticks were awesome! It's been 4 months and people are still playing with them and talking to me about them! Our lighting was amazing and their set up will not ruin your wedding decor! If you want people to talk an about how much about about how much fun they had at your reception this is your DJ!
Wayne is absolutely the best! If you're looking for a DJ who will take the time to get to know you and your fiance, find out exactly what you want, and then somehow execute it even...
better than what you asked for, he's your guy. He went above and beyond to make our day special, and I am so glad that we worked with him. I couldn't recommend him more.
Wayne and his team were unbelievable! He was so flexible and comforting in the planning period up to the day and on the day he took the feel we wanted to achieve and ran with it! T...
he dance floor was packed every second of the night. All of our guests kept telling us how great the music was and how awesome the DJ team was.
If my husband or I went up to make a suggestion it was the next song that was played. He was laughing and smiling the whole time, which may not seem like a big deal but I found that since he's front and center people really fed off their energetic vibes.
To top if all off my Mom wanted to plan a surprise sing along for my husband and I before dinner. I wasn't a part of the planning but the fact that Wayne kept it a secret and pulled it off seamlessly was pretty amazing! I can't say enough good things about his team. If you have a chance to book him - take it, he will make your day amazing.
Wayne is the best! he took our music tastes and ran with it! everyone kept telling us how much they loved the music! He was very friendly and professional. He came to our rehearsal...
and made sure he knew when we wanted certain songs to start and how we wanted everything to be so the day of everything was already figured out and I did not have to worry. Wayne brought foam glow sticks and they were a huge success! everyone was super excited when he passed them out! He talked to us throughout the night to make sure everything was going perfect! I highly recommend him! He is very personable, easy to get in touch with and an entertainer not just a guy who plays music. Hire Wayne and your wedding/party will be awesome!
We were so happy that we booked Rock Out for our wedding! Wayne, the owner, was our main contact for most of the planning. He was quick to respond, easy to work with, and even ma...
de suggestions for other vendors that would fit our needs. We didn't really want to have to dictate what music was played at our wedding, so we really put our trust in the DJ. We filled out a request form and went over it with our DJ (DJ Matt), and then after that we left it all in his hands. I'll admit, we were pretty vague - we basically told him no explicit lyrics, and please make sure everyone has fun. Matt did such an amazing job!! The music matched the mood of each event through the reception perfectly (cocktail hour, dinner, cake cutting, etc). And Matt knew how to get people out on the dance floor and pumped up!! Our dance floor was full the entire night and everyone had a blast! DJ Matt even passed out these crazy light-up glow sticks that everyone went crazy over - it was so much fun! If you're looking for an awesome DJ who really knows how to keep the party going, definitely talk to these guys!
DJ Wayne was AMAZING! Everyone from my grandmother to my maid of honor was on the dance floor! His selection of music is fantastic and he used our taste to play songs that we loved...
and that kept everyone moving. Each and every guest has complimented our entertainment and has said that they have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. He kept the night going smootly as our MC and dressed up the room with gorgeous lighting. He made me feel so calm! I recommend Rock Out Entertainment to any bride that wants to have fun and enjoy their night.
