Professional and communicative, going above and beyond in the pre-planning. We were excited to have such a highly recommended DJ. Unfortunately, he did not play our âmust playsâ and we were disappointed.
We also received a variety of complaints about sound quality and the speaker locations.
Shaun was so great to work with. We were matched with him through Nicholas Thomas Entertainment DJ services and he made the planning process so easy. We had a couple of phone calls leading up to the big day where we were able to talk through all of my wants and needs regarding music and announcements. After our final phone call before the wedding day, I felt more than confident that everything would work out great - and Shaun definitely executed! Me and my wedding guests hardly left the dance floor. I was pretty particular about not wanting "basic wedding music" and Shaun made sure to keep our party going all evening. I'd definitely recommend him (and NTE services) to anyone looking for a fun DJ that can read the room well.
Shaun did a great job keeping the energy up and getting people excited. We had a packed dance floor the whole night which is what we wanted!
Shaun was very responsive to us after reaching out to him very close to our wedding date. Music was one of the last things we needed to book. He was professional, funny and patient during the planning process. Our wedding reception was wonderful and he made the planning process easy. He's affordable and did an amazing job, I highly recommend his services. I am so glad we booked with him. Thank you, Shaun.
We couldnât recommend DJ Shaun enough!! He was a thorough planner and paid close attention to each detail. He brought his expert opinions to our ideas and worked with us to make our dreams a reality. His music and attention to our guests kept people on the dance floor all night long. His partner, Randa, helped keep the night running smoothly and efficiently. It was extra fun when she joined the dance floor and taught our enthusiastic guests line dances. Definitely book with Shaun for a super fun, unforgettable night!!
I cannot say enough good things about Shaun - and neither could our friends & family! The dance floor was packed all night - people said they tried to leave but the music was too good to sit down. On top of a great party, Shaun was extremely communicative leading up to our wedding and had great suggestions for songs/dances/flow/etc.
Shaun is super focused on getting all the details just right for your wedding and he kept the party going on the dance floor!
Shaun was awesome! He made the process so incredibly easy and stress free! He also knew just how to keep the dance floor bumping with the younger crowd and parents alike. You definitely won't regret booking Shaun for your wedding! Thanks so much for everything Shaun!
We had DJ Shaun do the music for our cocktail hour and reception. Simply put, he was fantastic! From our first meeting all the way to our wedding day, Shaun was very responsive, professional and wonderful to work with. During the reception Shaun absolutely killed it with the music selection, the dance floor was packed all night long. I would highly recommend Shaun, he helped make our wedding day spectacular and I guarantee he will do the same for you!
Shaun did such a good job working with us to make sure all our ideas were just the way we wanted, and help with ideas of his own as needed. So happy with the way he engaged the crowd and got people on their feet!!
Shaun was the DJ for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in September 2022. From the start, he was attentive to our questions. We had a call with him several months before the big day to chat about our music styles and our overall wishes for the wedding. He was so friendly and quickly built our trust. We were able to load lots of favorite songs into a portal he could see to select from. He was exceptional at transitioning songs, reading the room, creating a fun vibe. So professional and kind. We highly recommend Shaun!!
Stop searching for DJs and call Shaun! He was amazing! Our Wedding was not an easy setup. Liz and I had chosen to have our wedding on an island in Birchwood, Wisconsin. Shaun came over from Minnesota and then took a ferry to the island with all his equipment. He was the best sport about the whole setup. Shaun was very thorough about scheduling and music. He was very helpful with the ceremony and setup a mic and speaker outside for us. We had our reception inside (because of the heat) which was a much smaller space to work with. And Shaun did an amazing job setting up the speakers and booth which were decorated so you wouldnât even know their were speakers there. The lighting was a perfect addition to our reception and choreographed 1st dance. I am so happy to have had Shaun Lois as a Wedding DJ for our wedding and would highly recommend him. Shaun kept everyone on the dance floor old and young. We gave him free range and it was amazing. Been to a few weddings in the last couple years and our dance floor was the fullest.
Shaun Lois Thank You so much for a perfect wedding. Julian&Elizabeth
Absolutely amazing! Shaun knows how to read the crowd and put on an amazing show which had the dance floor busy all night. All of our quests commented on how impressed they were with the DJ. The planning process was a breeze and Shaun was able to answer all of our questions. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a DJ!
DJ Shaun was so easy to work with, he did an over the top job! Our ceremony and reception were at different locations and he did the music for both of them with no problems. Our wedding dance was so fun, couldnât get our friends to leave, they loved the music! Shaun did a great job playing songs to keep people dancing
We had Shaun DJ at our wedding and working with him was a wonderful experience! As the bride I can say that he actually helped me to manage some of the stress of the day that was inherent and created by other vendors. I highly recommend Shaun and his services for your wedding event!
I had DJ Shaun do the music during the dinner and reception at my wedding. He was excellent. I've never seen so many people stick around until the end of the evening. The dance floor was packed in large part to DJ Shaun. Just make sure to double check the last dance song with him ahead of time!
We loved having Shaun swoop in and save the day for our wedding. Our original DJ double booked us and was absolutely horrible. We reached out to Shaun and he helped us and made us feel so much better after being in a horrible situation. We had so many compliments from our guests and even had a few people ask for his information to book him for their wedding in the future. He made us feel like we didn't have to worry about anything throughout the day and knew he had it all handled. We can't thank him enough and would hire him again without hesitation.
Shaun crushed the music for our wedding!
Shaun made everything so easy and made us comfortable with the music and DJ services for our wedding. Shaun provided the music for our ceremony, social hour, and reception dance and things went off without a hitch.
From our first phone call, Shaun made selecting the music that we wanted so easy and made sure that everything was just right. He even went out of his way to make sure our first dance(that was played on guitar and sang live) was just right.
I cannot give a higher recommendation for Shaun Louis. You wonât regret booking him.
I canât say enough good about Shaun. In the stressful process of planning a wedding in about 100 days it was always a treat to hear from Shaun. He was so much fun and brought everyone close during the slow songs and the high energy songs hit twice as hard with his talents. I would recommend him to all my friends getting married in the twin cities area. Reasonably priced and wants to work with you. His services are completely customizable. The more effort and variety of music you recommend for him the better he will perform. He even did a WWE/WWF style intro for our walkouts which Shaun himself MCâd. 10/10 could not have asked for better.
Shaun was great through the whole wedding process from start to finish. He set up super fast and in multiple locations! He had great interaction with our friends and family and kept the energy fun and high. We had so many people tell us he was the best DJ they had seen at a wedding, and other friends asking for his info. He was super fun and kind. We would highly recommend him for any event!!
At every step of the way, Shaun did an amazing job. The meeting before the event was simple and easy, and we could tell right away he was going to do a great job. He played music at our ceremony and handled the microphone. He balanced sound levels perfectly throughout, making it all really seamless.
His enthusiasm for the job showed through as he announced us at the reception, and the dinner music selection was perfect. Once the dance started, he was able to get people out on the floor, and keep people there the whole time. You can tell Shaun knows exactly what he is doing, as he successfully creates a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. We could not have made a better choice!
Super impressed with Shaun! Our guests had an amazing time and he was great throughout the whole planning process! The music and lighting was great, as was his commentary! The only thing that I would say is if youâre a bride who doesnât want the attention on them- let him know⌠because I forgot and was embarrassed by all the attention he gave me đ.
We had a different DJ who unexpectedly couldnât do our wedding just a few weeks before our wedding. Fortunately, out of the unfortunate situation, we found Shaun. I was worried with only a few weeks before our wedding, but I was worried over nothing as Shaun turned out to be the biggest blessing! Our guests were blown away and we have had numerous people grab his contact info for their future events. He played a wide range of music and adapted to the scene. He went over the time scheduled as people didnât want to stop dancing! Iâm forever grateful we found him just in time to make our night amazing! If you have any hesitations booking with him, I assure you, you wonât be disappointed! My only regret is that we didnât start out with him! Thank you again Shaun!
DJ Shaun is INCREDIBLE! I give him my highest recommendation to any bride and groom. I discovered Shaun at a wedding convention and he was nothing but kind and genuine from the beginning. We met him early on in our planning and we knew he'd be perfect for us. He was very well priced and was willing to listen and work with us to make our dream come true. We had a pretty challenging wedding for a DJ, all being outdoor on my family's property - an all day event with three different main locations. He came up with a great plan for the equipment and logistics of the day. He was even willing to try things he'd never done before, like play our vinyl record collection during the 3 hour social hours. People could look through our collection and place a request and he'd play them all. It was so fun to look back at the book and see what people requested!! We are so appreciative of the logistics that he thought through tho make our vision a reality. We gave him a list of songs hundreds of songs for the dancing and the ones he narrowed it down to were absolutely perfect and the timing of when he played them what was spot on. He even added in a few that were not on the list but totally added to the night! We heard rave reviews the entire night of how awesome the music was! Everyone was dancing the entire time - I've never seen a dance floor like that!! It was such a blast and will go down as a dancing experience I will never forget and a lot of guests have told me the same thing! He even surprised us with an incredible entrance to the tent - he had all of the guests take their napkin and wave them in the air, all standing up screaming as we entered - it was so magical and unexpected! He really made our night what it was and we couldn't be more happy with how it all turned out! Shaun really deserves a 5 star but I do have to comment on the one star off. This is for communication during the year. There was one stretch of time where we just couldn't get a hold of him and I was at the point where I thought he maybe no longer wanted to be our DJ. This was three months before the wedding. It was very stressful but we eventually connected and talked through it - he had a good reason and was extremely sorry. At times even after that and closer to the wedding it would take him more than a few days to get back to me via email. This was something I found out was true for a lot of vendors in the industry, so its more a warning for future brides to just relax and trust in the amazing Shaun, if he is taking a while to get back to you. I should have given him my full trust, and wish I had seen a comment like this when I felt stressed about the situation. I hope this message can help someone out there who has hired Abbey Road but might be stressing out about communication. He's a busy guy....and for a good reason! Just be patient and trust him. He is well worth it. Thanks for everything Shaun! We were very lucky to have you as our DJ! Wising you all the best! CHEERS!
Joe and I were apprehensive about choosing a DJ sight unseen from the Internet. We stumbled across Abbey Road Events and loved the photos and the fact that they had a DJ that was experienced. We met with Shaun and we were immediately impressed with how many questions he asked, in fact he asked things we hadn't really thought about. We were married a few months ago and worked with Abbey Road from the start. Everything went smoothly and our guests were so happy with the selection of music and Shaun's "style". His British accent charmed everyone and they didn't stop dancing. Thank you Abbey Roads for making our reception the time of our life!
When Rich and I got engaged, I immediately began searching for a DJ. I heard about Abbey Road Events from a friend. Even though it was a fairly new service I thought I would give them a try. My first impression was fantastic! The owner/DJ Shaun, was the person who answered the phone. He was very thorough as he asked about music preferences, type of event, budget, etc. He was very helpful in giving me some ideas and making sure that I knew of all of the many options for lighting, etc., that they had available. I was pretty blown away by the amount of time he spent with me. He went through a schedule of events and put together an agenda to make sure that nothing was missed. I can tell you that the time spent with preparation, etc., really paid off. My reception was so much fun and the music and lighting made the reception even that much more fun and beautiful! Shaun never missed a beat and our guests all told me how much fun they had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shaun and Abbey Road for any type of event.
Shaun, did an amazing job for my wedding. Did everything I requested. Played the variety of music I wanted. Played the music family requested. Very friendly and respectful! I highly recommend this DJ! He knew how to get the party started, had great ideas I wouldn't of even thought of. Very helpful when you are a stressed out bride. They made my wedding night a blast and I had some family members say they wish he was there DJ at there wedding reception. Proves he did a great job and made everyone happy! The lights were awesome, the set up made the place pop and everything looked amazing. If you want a fabulous night with fun for everyone choose this DJ!!! Thank you for everything you did Shaun!
Thank you Shaun and Abbey Road Events for the amazing job you did at my wedding in May! My guests are still talking about you! You calmed my fears and did such an amazing job! Can't thank you enough!!!!!
Abbey Road Events made our wedding reception a complete success!
Shaun was amazing & extremely talented.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional yet fun DJ!
