Select Entertainment

ce. From the beginning he stood out as a top vendor because he has a well thought out process and timeline to plan for the wedding day. Also, anytime we discussed changes over the phone or email he adjusted our contract timely and sent us the revisions. I quickly began to trust that Andy would do what he said he would do! An important item not to gloss over was that we had to postpone our wedding from our original wedding date in June because of COVID. Andy spent extra time with us as we decided on our new wedding date and helped me feel more relaxed about moving our wedding date. The planning tools on Andy's website are easy to follow and cover every situation where music or emceeing may be needed for the wedding ceremony and reception. We filled out these planning documents first on our own and then had a meeting with Andy to go through everything in detail to make sure nothing was missed. Andy went above and beyond to work with our best man who could not attend the wedding but still wanted to give a speech. Our best man pre-recorded his speech and then worked with Andy to play the recording at our reception. Another surprise for us was that the matron of honor worked with Andy as well to add some musical elements to her speech. I was very happy that we chose Andy to be our DJ as we led up to our wedding day. Then on our wedding day he completely BLEW US AWAY! Andy literally treated us like royalty. He managed to dismiss tables for dinner while taking our drink orders, dessert orders and clearing our plates. He took away our worries before we could even think about them. He checked in with us often to see if there was anything we needed. The music was perfect during each part of our day. We gave him an idea of what we were looking for and then he ran with it. It's funny to me that I barely mentioned the music in this review. I think it is because when you are looking to hire a DJ you expect them to have the song you want to hear and be able to jump from one song to the next smoothly. With Andy you will get that and SO much more. Andy is professional, fun and experienced. You will not regret having Andy DJ your wedding!! In fact, you will probably have many people ask how they can book Andy for their event. We sure did!

first to last dance. He came up with so many different things to keep our guests entertained. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved him! He made the planning process completely stress free and made sure that we were able to have our perfect wedding! Select Entertainment is the absolute best!

nd he was so accommodating and really made us feel at ease with our decision. Highly recommend!!

control of the reception and hosted the perfect evening. From the moment we arrived at the reception we knew we were in good hands; Andy was there to greet us and go over the entrances in detail with our bridal party. From there, he did a fantastic job of getting the reception started. He is a captivating person who is able to get the attention of guests but direct the attention towards speeches, first dances, and welcomes. He made the whole transition seemless from dinner to dessert to dancing- there were no hiccups. Andy was incredibly attentive to the bride and groom; he was able to get us water, drinks, carried our dinners for us, and anticipated everything we could've needed the entire night. When I wanted to change certain things during the evening he was able to go with our requests. I have always dreamed of a wedding reception with tons of dancing, Andy made that happen. Our dance floor was packed and filled with energy until we ended the night. I couldn't write enough great things about Andy (DJ Cubbie). I would book him again in a heartbeat, and will be sure to recommend him to every other bride. Thanks for making our night SO memorable... we love you guys!

the big day. I can’t say enough great things!

r until they shut off the lights. He's the best

ollar dance that went over awesome!

ce all night long and even into the next week about Andy helping them carry their food, Get them a drink, guide them to the restroom, cleaned off the tables, and kept the night going with all the events my daughter had requested. Andy was way more than a DJ as he made the night go smooth, kept this mom calm, and went way above and beyond. My understanding is that this is not something he did for just our daughter but he does for everyone. You will never be disappointed with his services.

e day. He ensured the day ran smoothly starting with our pre-wedding meeting with his advice on how to structure the day and ceremony all the way to ensuring nobody clinked glasses too much during dinner so we could get a bite to eat. Our venue manager stopped by to tell me that she "has never seen a DJ so attentive and supportive to the bride and groom". Not only this, he kept the dance floor going all night and we had most of our guest remaining at the end of the wedding because the dance floor was going all night.

I cannot recommend him and everyone that works for Select Entertainment enough. They are all so lovely and will make memories for you and all your guests. With me not knowing much, it was nice to have someone so experienced in what to do when but he always made it what WE wanted which was most important. The photo booth was an added plus that they offer and with the music, the entertainment and the photo booth we now have memories to last a lifetime!

social anxiety and Bret really helped put him at ease. Anytime we wanted to make changes he was really cool about it and would tell us ‘it’s whatever you want, it’s YOUR special day’. We don’t like to rock the boat and he didn’t make us feel bad or guilt about changing our minds about anything. He helped us come up with vows (which was a struggle for us) and he had great ideas and suggestions. He was flexible and accommodating and he drove to Marshalltown to attend our rehearsal. He played the music we requested and the other music he played was in tune with our taste. He was well dressed and fit in well with our wedding party. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Bret and Select Entertainment to anyone without hesitation. Bret went above and beyond our expectations!

ure our day was everything we dreamed of! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

the time. His set up looked nice and there were no glitches, microphone issues, and music sounded very high quality. Loved it!

He made the whole reception run so smoothly and was even checking in with me to see if I needed anything throughout the night. If I could rate a hundred stars I would!

awless service made this one of our best choices in vendors for the wedding. Book select entertainment for your event as soon as you can!

tion going the whole night. The dance floor was pretty much full the whole time. We didn’t have to worry about anything!

hankful to have him.

nd to our ceremony in which was all awesome. He helped pick out the songs, coordinated with the wedding party about timing of everything, and really went over and above on his DJ services. He did such a good job that our best friends are using him for their wedding in April and we can’t wait to see what he will do for their wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend Cubbie for any event!

always full during dinner and made sure all our special songs were played. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Selfie dance was a huge hit and a wonderful idea that he gave us and helped us implement! He even helped us get our 2nd wedding license to the venue after I messed up the first one. Seriously above and beyond and we could never thank him enough! He will make sure your day is a blast, great music, even better person!

day everything you have ever imagined and more!

Select Entertainment to anyone who wants to work with a very organized and fun DJ! Everything was perfect, totally stress-free!

aying songs on our "do not play" list. He arrived early to set up and accommodated our last-minute request to have a handheld mic at the ceremony for our bridesmaids and groomsmen to use when they did some readings. Bret was professional, played all of our requests, and made the night go smoothly. We told him he could start shutting down when guests really thinned out, and at that time, he told us that he had a family member in the ER since 7 pm that night! If I'd known, I'd have told him to go home, but he did not even mention this to us and continued to DJ our wedding all night. Talk about someone dedicated to the profession! I cannot thank him enough for his sacrifice and service to us. Look no further than Bret at Select for your DJing needs. He will deliver!

ith our very large wedding party being in all different places he would make sure they were all there for the special events. If your trying to find a DJ for your wedding you will be very happy with Andy, he’s the best DJ to chat with, easy to work with and makes your special day come alive!!

g planning process and made our experience perfect. Our guests were not your typical wedding reception group and wanted more fast-paced party music rather than adding in slow songs, without hesitation he pivoted for our crowd and we had the best reception ever!

throughout the night, cleared our dinner plates, and checked in with us during the dance to see if there was any changes that need to be made. We had the best dance party - all thanks to Andy! He was also the DJ for our ceremony since we didn't get married in a church and it went off without a hitch, even with some night before changes. Would highly recommend!

-dance"and they are some of our favorite memories from our reception!! THANK YOU!!!!

r too! A few have since booked him for their up coming weddings!!

n July about our reception, "That was the most fun reception I had been to in 15 years!" During the planning process Andy always kept us up to date with what we should be doing to plan for our reception as far as music and entrances go, and he had several tools on their website to help us do just that. Mitch and I had picked a unique song for our first dance and it didn't phase him that it was not in their library; he got it anyway! He also had some of the best ideas for our grand entrance, timeline to make things run smoothly, and new, fun things to make our reception our own. On the day of the wedding, our wedding party arrived to reception a little early, but we were already to eat! Andy gave us time to freshen up, and had us all lined up for the grant entrance and my wedding planner wanted us to wait ANOTHER TWENTY MINUTES, because it would fit her timeline better. I did not want to do that, and Andy handled everything for me. He went and talked to her, and got us into the reception when we wanted to. He was very attentive throughout the night and even brought me my slice of cake, because we were so busy talking to guests, which was definitely not on his list of duties! We could not have asked for better DJ (and beyond) service.

from selecting songs to coordinating dances and timing as the day progresses. John did an excellent job with the sound played at both the ceremony, during cocktail hour, and at the reception, with many compliments from our guests on the music throughout the night. I can't think John and Andy (Cubbie!) enough for their excellent partnership and the important role they played in our best day ever!

ion, the dance floor was NEVER empty! He was also very friendly and professional, doing everything he could to help the night go smoothly. We are very grateful to Bret for making our wedding night so fun for everyone!

e planning. Thank you so much Andy! Out of all of our vendors, you were easily the one who was 1) most in our corner (Thank you for talking to Bonnie about not having us wait in the hall 15 minutes before the grand entrance), 2) read the vibe of the guests the best, and 3) just made the night so fun. Our dance floor was packed all night!

e we had all the essentials taken care of. He kept the dance going the ENTIRE evening, and catered to our crazy huge family and wild group of friends. We have nothing but fabulous things to say about John - thanks so much to Cubbie and the team at Select Entertainment!

is eyes. What an amazing, thoughtful thing to think of. Besides that, so many of our guests commented on how fun it was, the great music, and that they hadn't danced so much in ages. GO WITH SELECT!!

d a couple of meetings with DJ Cubbie prior to our wedding so we could go over the information he would need for that day and our preferences. DJ Cubbie really got to know us and our tastes, so he could make the wedding and reception what we wanted it to be. The planning guides he uses are extremely helpful and he was very responsive on any questions we had. The day of the event he checked on us several times to see if there was anything he could help with or do for us (including grabbing me a glass of champagne from the bar!). DJ Cubbie truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day memorable. If you're looking for a wedding DJ, don't look any further. This is the company to go with.

to our guests. He kicked the party off with a bang and it didn't stop all night. His playlist was perfect, I truly couldn't believe how many people were on the dance floor all night, even at midnight. He helped us execute some special surprises and fun ideas at the wedding so willingly and perfectly. Leading up to the wedding, he was so easy to get a hold of. He responded to emails very quickly, gave great ideas and suggestions to keep the night running smoothly and on schedule. If you are looking to have an awesome dance party and super fun, special touches at your reception, we highly recommend John from Select Entertainment!

new Select was a great organization but they still went above and beyond. He ran our rehearsal for us and asked really great questions to help us think about our big day. His pacing of the party was incredible too. It was a complete blast the entire time and that's because he read the crowd and kept the party moving. Wedding planning can be really difficult as there are so many moving pieces but Select Entertainment was a great mix of fun and professionalism. I could go on and on but my main point is that Select Entertainment played a key role in making this one of the best days of our lives.

eception was. I couldn't be any happier with the way everything turned out. Best Dj EVER!

r my dad. Bret suggested a voice over and he was able to put it with our song for the Father/Bride dance. There was not a dry eye in the house! It was the best present I could have given my dad. Bret keep the dance floor going all night! We had to change a few things during the wedding last minute and his professional suggestions helped make things go smoothly. I had also lost my tossing bouquet and he took it upon himself to find it! He went above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend Bret to anyone!

y doubled as a wedding coordinator, making sure the wedding party was where they needed to be and that all of our vendors were set up and ready to go. It was extremely important for us to have a DJ that kept the wedding fun and organized, and Bret went above and beyond. I highly recommend him.

ertain things like cake cutting, games, etc to make everything go as smooth as possible. He has worked with tons of other vendors and was even able to give me tips and recommendations for who to contact for photographers, venues and catering. He was very professional professional during the ceremony and my guests had a blast with him at the reception. Anyone looking to have an awesome time at their wedding check out Andy Powell. Remember the entertainment you choose for your wedding is responsible for 80% of the events success and the memories you will have for the rest of your life.

around that worked splendidly. He also DJ'd our ceremony (as well as the reception) and even on a cold rainy day, he made the sun shine! We did a trivia dismissal and it went perfectly. Everyone got their food fast, he pretty much let family win first and then friends! One of the biggest things I have to say about Andy is that he did a phenomenal job keeping everyone on the dance floor. Everybody, every age, had an amazing time at our wedding and I give a huge kudos to Andy and Select Entertainment for that. DJ's can make or break your wedding. He made ours.

d it was hilarious how our guests got into it.

e was great leading up to the day with changes we wanted to make and even some last minute changes the night of!

en him to be our DJ for our wedding. Thank you DJ cubby for making our wedding personalized, detailed, and so much fun!

ing charts or ideas for a wedding day emergency kit which was very impressive as it made me feel like he truly wanted our wedding day to be the best possible. A few days before the wedding he called me and went over our plans and double-checked song requests and timing of the day. He arrived early to set up, checked in on us to see how we were doing and helped with microphones for our ceremony. He even stepped in to help during our reception when another vendor had an issue with moving our cake. He played songs to get all people dancing, but kept in mind our specific requests for the younger crowd, too. Bret was amazing and I wouldn't hesitate recommending his services to anyone!

ainment helped keep the stress off of us throughout the whole process, even when mother nature decided to ruin our plans Bret was able to quickly move everything inside and set up a spontaneous ceremony space. We had a great experience interacting with Select Entertainment and would highly recommend them to anyone. Select Entertainment is more than just a DJ company, they want to make sure your day goes as close to perfection as possible and are there for you.

ather than the ushers doing it themselves, do a couples dance after the first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son dance was over, candy toss before the bouquet and garter toss to get the kids out on the dance floor, etc.). I was worried no one would want to dance, but Bret did a fantastic job of keeping the dance floor full all night! Seriously, there are not enough good things to say about him! We will definitely be recommending Select Entertainment to our friends and family :)

ighly recommend him!

r and we ended the night on a high! Thanks for being the best "quarterback" Cubbie!

helped us out tremendously with picking the perfect songs and just making the entire day about us!! Our wedding party and our guests just loved him!! Bret is very accommodating and easy going. Bret did an amazing job and made sure our day went smoothly and perfect!! We definitely made the best choice ever by choosing Bret!!!

they had ever been to. Andy kept the party flowing from one segment to the next with no dull moments and played the perfect variation and styles of music to keep guest, young AND old, on the dance floor all night. He had great communication in the months leading up to the wedding and always professional. The schedule of the day he planned was perfect and we as the bride and groom never had to worry about a thing. We does a TON of weddings, has great experience/ideas and we are so grateful to have had him!

en begin to tell you how much help he was. Leading up into the wedding he was very professional and responsive to any emails, questions, concerns, or payments. He basically wrote a timeline for our day and made sure we stuck to it. Last but not least, he can read a crowd and knows how to get people out on your dance floor and keep people out on the dance floor. BOOK HIM ASAP.

rehearsal and wedding, very accommodating and easy going. He did a great job really making the ceremony and the whole day about us. Best choice ever!

t think our ceremony would have gone the way it did. He brought another DJ to help out, John, and both were beyond great. Very professional, made sure our guests made it through the buffet lines and kept the music playing through the night. Andy had some really great ideas for the reception I had never seen before, all went over well! I would definitely recommend Andy Powell and really appreciate everything he did for us!

me job at our wedding, from the start of the planning all the way to the end of our wedding night. Our guests loved Andy and John, as they were very interactive. They made our big day everything we had envisioned. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend their services.

x in between. Had a small hiccup with our first initial visit and another again with one of our payments but everything worked out and we were pleased with the service he provided. Would reccommend.

l worth it, and was very professional yet fun during the whole process. I would highly recommend Select Entertainment!

to make recommendations!

as we were so impressed with his organization and innovative ideas! And he killed it at the wedding reception- people danced all night!!! I absolutely loved that he kicked the dance off with a slow song immediately following our first dance and invited all couples to join us- everyone got up and joined and then as soon as the slow song ended he went right into a fast song that kept everyone on the dance floor! Towards the end of the night he played some awesome 90's beats and once he saw the crowd loving it- he kept 'em coming! He was phenomenal! I highly recommend him!

lowing and the dance floor was packed ALL night. His did AWESOME job and was very attentative to all our needs.

we wanted in our reception and Cubbie was so helpful and had a lot of good ideas for us. He was always so kind, polite and super funny! Everyone had a blast at our reception and loved the song selections! He kept everyone out on the dance floor having fun and that is exactly what we wanted! We are so pleased how everything turned out and would definitely recommend him to everyone! Thank you for an unforgettable night Cubbie!!

e date was set for January 2nd, 2016. After contacting him, we found out he was still available, and had no issues at all working with us on our strict timeline. He had wonderful ideas that we hadn't seen before (And after attending 5 weddings last year, I wanted something fresh for mine). He was wonderful to work with, and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. The wedding day rolled around and everything was taken care of and he was ready to go. The guests loved him and we laughed the whole time. Cubbie truly made our day special, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ.

not feel like our DJ was advertising for himself or trying to MC the night too much. I thought Bret handled this magnificently, kept us on track and gave gentle reminders, helped keep things flowing, but held back when appropriate. He made sure I was having a good time, and felt like guests were, too. I was so pleased with our experience, I highly recommend Bret; he seemed very adaptive and very responsive to our wishes, and kept everyone dancing all night. Thanks!

ny and/or reception!

us to make our day even more special!

e dance floor and accommodated our specific song requests wonderfully throughout the night. Thank you Select Entertainment!
