Our photographer recommended DJ Entertainment to us. Doug is very easy to work with. His goal is to make your day effortless; seamless & fun! We had an outdoor ceremony & cocktail hour with an indoor dinner/reception. Doug made sure everyone had the microphones so our guests could hear us; the music was immediately ready to go for the cocktail hour and as soon as the dinner was ready to begin, he was there. Simply put, Doug was our emcee and “glue” for the evening. I also highly recommend his dancing on a cloud for your first dance. Our guests collectively make a gasp of “ ooh” when it began. With his expertise & professionalism he quickly read the crowd to keep the party/dancing going right until the end. We never had an empty dance floor. Look no further and hire DJ Entertainment! It will be the easiest decision you have to make

Hands down the best DJ. Our guests loved him and they never left the dance floor very professional and was always updating us before the wedding. He didn’t just play music he made an experience for our daughter’s special day. Our guests kept coming up and asking who we picked. Would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a DJ. His pricing was spot on.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Doug! He is the real deal. I would recommend him to anyone! He is super professional and knew just what to do to keep people on the dance floor.
Our positive experience with Doug started with his responsiveness to emails early on. The week of the wedding we had a call with him to go over the details and it helped to ease a ton of my concerns. We had some specific versions of songs requested and Doug was so accommodating!
On the day of the wedding, Doug went above and beyond the duties of a DJ. He communicated with the catering team about releasing tables for dinner and ensuring they were on the same page as well as communicating with the baker about when to come in and where to set up. Doug was the all in one DJ and wedding coordinator! He played a huge role in making our wedding run perfectly.
When it came to the dance floor - everyone was raving about how good he was. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. It is clear he does not just hit play on a playlist - it was careful curated. 10000/10 recommend!

Doug was an absolute delight to work with. We had a small wedding at our home on the 4th of July. We wanted to create a simple relaxed backyard BBQ vibe instead of the formal wedding atmosphere. We asked for a variety of styles and genres of music from 90’s grunge to early Motown, country and the great crooners of the 50’s. Doug seamlessly blended all these styles together and created the perfect backdrop for our gathering. Doug is very professional and super accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about him or how pleased we were with the service he provided for us. I would recommend him to anyone for any type of gathering or event because I have no doubt we would be superb.

From the moment we first spoke with Doug Nacker at Shattered Sound DJ Entertainment, we knew we were in great hands. He was super responsive and offered a lot of services for the price. Doug was easy to talk to, professional yet casual, which made the whole planning process feel low-pressure.
Before the wedding, Doug was incredibly organized with the wedding planner he provided but flexible enough to let us share our playlists and music vibes through Spotify instead of typing them all out. He connected directly with a friend who was playing saxophone during our grand entrance and made sure everything went smoothly. He reassured us not to stress about the music - we gave him a few ideas and he took care of the rest, which was one big thing off our to-do list.
On the big day, Doug absolutely nailed the ceremony cues - our recessional song started at the exact moment of our first kiss - PERFECTION. He kept the dance floor packed all night, transitioning songs seamlessly like a true club DJ. While we didn’t have many announcements, he handled each one with ease, helping the photographer wrangle guests for a group photo, cueing the bouquet toss, announcing late-night pizza, and letting everyone know when the shuttle buses arrived.
The music was exactly what we envisioned, Doug read the crowd beautifully, honored all our requests, and was even a great sport when the crowd demanded “one more song” after the last song. He also complimented us on our music taste, which felt like a huge win! For couples who don’t want to curate pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, or dinner music, Doug has a huge library ready to go, though he was happy to work with the specific songs we requested.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, and the full dance floor all night spoke for itself, people were literally running to catch the last bus because they didn’t want to leave! Doug created a perfect party atmosphere while keeping everything stress-free. We hardly had to check in with him at all during the day (aside from one quick timeline adjustment during dinner), because he had everything under control.
If you want a DJ who keeps the party alive, takes care of every detail, and lets you fully enjoy your wedding day, Doug Nacker is the one to book.

Doug was an amazing DJ. Any requests we had, he ensured they happened. He also worked with our other vendors to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. The dance floor was constantly bumpin & if it wasn’t he ensured to change the tunes to ensure it was! Also highly recommend the “dancing on a cloud effect” for your first dance - we truly felt magical! We also recommend the additional added features, including up lighting and the added screens. We decided to have a pictures on a slideshow on the screens and the guests loved it!! Highly recommend Doug & Shattered Sound DJ for all of your music needs on your big day! 💕

Had him as our dj and he was amazing. He was very flexible and really stressed how much he wanted our day to be stress free as it could be. We gave him a playlist to get the vibe we wanted and he made that vibe happen and had people dancing all night. He also did our ceremony and made the music transitions for that seamless. Would recommend him again 10/10

We are so incredibly grateful we chose Doug as our DJ for our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, easy to work with, and genuinely invested in making our day special.
Doug was unbelievably flexible—even when it poured rain the entire day and we had to shift our reception times around last-minute, he rolled with it all without missing a beat. His calm, can-do attitude made a stressful situation feel totally manageable, and we’ll always be thankful for that.
He followed our play list and do-not-play list exactly as we hoped, and he nailed every music cue for our ceremony perfectly—those little moments meant so much to us. Once the dance floor opened up, he kept the energy high with the perfect mix of songs that had all our guests dancing all night long.
We especially appreciated how organized and calm he was—handling transitions and announcements, while still feeling warm and approachable. It honestly felt like he was just as invested in our day as we were. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor!
Doug truly helped make our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is reliable, talented, and truly cares about your day, we can’t recommend him enough!

Doug was fantastic from the moment I first reached out for DJ services. He was prompt, effective, and responsive in all our communications, showing incredible flexibility throughout the planning process. At the reception, Doug perfectly tailored the music for each part of the event, including cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He incorporated songs from our playlist while also selecting music that perfectly matched the atmosphere at any given music. Even when I requested a very last-minute change for the "dancing on the cloud" effect, Doug adapted without hesitation, ensuring everything went smoothly.

Doug was absolutely PERFECT! He did our ceremony and reception—and everything could not have turned out better. He provides a very detailed and informative guide when “organizing” the music, is great to communicate with, and even came to rehearsal to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. The night of our wedding we didn’t have any guests sitting down during the dance—everyone was on the dance floor having the best time!! We received sooo many compliments from our guests. Doug is such a great person to work with, and an AMAZING DJ!

Doug is an outstanding DJ! I have been to multiple events where he is providing the entertainment & the dance floor was packed the entire night for each event. So when it came to booking our DJ - we planned our wedding date around when he was available. He is great with communicating ahead of time how things will work so that your big day is stress free for you & making sure all of your requests get fulfilled. His set up is amazing with all of his lighting and video screens - with the package we chose! We also chose to use his ‘dancing on the cloud’ special effects for our first dance and the pictures turned out so beautiful! A special touch to our day that was unique to other weddings. Doug had our guests on the dance floor ranging from ages 1-85. He knows what songs get the guests to the floor & KEEP them out dancing. He made our night so much fun and we have had so many guests ask us for his name for their future events. If you’re looking to have a stress free day & the funnest night of your life - you have to book Shattered Sound DJ Entertainment.

Doug was electric at our wedding. The dance floor was bumping from the first song all the way to the last. We received so many compliments from guests that he did an amazing job. Our venue coordinator even asked for his information to recommend to future couples because she said she’s never seen a dance floor so full all night. I was impressed by his ability to read the crowd and play music that appealed to all ages. He also helped keep us on schedule. I would recommend Shattered Sound DJ Entertainment to anyone planning a wedding.

Doug did and an absolutely outstanding job. He is very easy to work with and in our experience took an incredible amount of stress away from our day. We had no issues with mics or any parts with sound. If you are having recordings done he's more than happy to work with those vendors, to insure less stress and an easier day for you. Made sure all song request/dances are in, checks how you want the grand march, annouments, speeches, or prayers on how you'd want them and in what order. His set up and transition from ceremony to reception was seemless, allowing you to spend time with family, do pictures or anything else you'd want to do while celebrating. I can go on and on but I don't think we could've found a better DJ for our evening!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding DJ! From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and truly made our wedding day unforgettable. The music selection was perfect, keeping the dance floor packed all night long.
One of the highlights was definitely the "dancing on the cloud" effect they provided during our first dance. It was absolutely magical and added such a special touch to the moment. Our guests were in awe, and it created the most beautiful atmosphere for our dance.
Their attention to detail and ability to read the crowd were exceptional. They knew exactly how to keep the energy up and everyone engaged. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was!
If you're looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect, look no further. Thank you for everything!

Doug was very communicative during the entire thing. He made sure that he was certain about all the events, the timing, and the music. We were going to do the dancing on the cloud, but he was unable to find a place in time the morning of that had it in stock, so he communicated that right away and refunded us that right at the wedding.
He got the vibes of the music down perfectly. We had some non traditional music requests and vibes, and it was totally nailed. Honestly, 10/10 couldn’t recommend anyone better. Plus it was an extremely good price.

We recently had DOUG from SHATTERED SOUND DJ our wedding at the Stevens Point Country Club and his value and level of professionalism was unsurpassed. From the moment we initially contacted Doug he did such a great job connecting with us and giving us options and things to consider about our big day. He reached out to follow-up regarding questions and offer his services! We hired him for both our ceremony and reception and had him place up lighting throughout our venue. I would HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding or event! He was SO attentive to our needs and checked in throughout the evening to ensure things were going as planned! He played my list of suggested songs from the DJ Event Planner and ensured he played songs to keep the crowd on the dance floor. He deserves 5 stars forsure!!! I received positive feedback from wedding guests regarding the songs and entertainment. Thanks Doug for engaging the crowd and making our wedding a great time for all.
