Great vendor I plan to buy again.
He played many different songs for my event and was one of the best vendors I have hired for it.
Amazing songs played and was very nice. Excellent delivery and pickup. I believe this is one of the best DJ services right now.
I thought the lights were and everything were very cool. They were going on the roof and walls and everyone loved it. I will recommend this to people who love to have a fun party.
I am mind blown at his service. We used him for my daughter’s wedding and he did not disappoint.
It took a minute to find a place to setup but when it was finished it was really nice. It provided really great entertainment to my wedding. I will recommend it to my friends.
Great price for the provided service. Excellent delivery and pickup time.
One of the most professional people I have worked with in a while. From the fast response time and quick setup time.
Jeff did an amazing job at my daughter’s wedding. Not only did he keep the party going with great music, but he also kept our guests informed of the schedule, which was a huge help!!
Best dj around. Always goes above and beyond for his couples.
Super professional and exactly what I imagined! So glad I booked them to do my cold sparks! Would recommend!
Jeff was quick to reply and easy to communicate with. He initiated multiple conversations to ensure we got what we wanted. Josh was a blast at the wedding, he played from our list, took requests, and engaged in the party with us.
Jeff and Josh were amazing. They made the wedding process smoother and our guest had such an amazing time. We have been told several times by guest it’s one of the best weddings they have been too and we can’t thank shockwave entertainment enough for being a HUGE part in that!
I would strongly advise against ever using this DJ service. We had a destination wedding in Savannah, GA and the owner, Jeff Wells was recommended by someone online. I had asked him if he would be the DJ specifically at our wedding and he said yes, although the contract states that there is no guarantee. Sure enough, his son was there instead which would not have been a big deal if he was at least half way decent. We literally had to tell him what to do all night, he didn't want to talk or interact at all with anyone, he was texting the whole time and had a scowl look on his face as though he clearly did not want to be there. He played the music I had requested for the most part but instead of playing music from the top 200 list he started playing weird music that wasn't even danceable. We had a small wedding and my guests noticed it as well, it was super embarrassing. We had asked him to give a shout out to my parents thanking them as they paid for everything and he just said in the mic "the bride and groom would like to thank everyone for being here." Also, he cut my father/daughter dance song short, like he was trying to rush things. Then to top everything, I had gone downstairs for about 20 minutes and when I came back up my cousin told me he played "closing time" to end the night and it was only 9pm and he was suppose to stay until 10pm. I said something to him and he stayed but by then it was too late because everyone had already dispersed. The next day I said something to the owner, Jeff Wells, about how awful the DJ was and instead of apologizes he blamed me. He had asked me for a timeline of the cake cutting and dinner a couple days before the wedding so I sent him a timeline that my photographer/makeup artist had made and I specifically stated this is the timeline from my photographer in the text. She was suppose to leave at 9:15 so that was his excuse, even though our contract stated 5-10. He was unapologetic and just was constantly coming up with cowardly excuses for the way his son acted.
Jeff was very friendly, helpful and communicative about my daughter’s recent wedding. He was very detailed about wanting to know an approximate time schedule and the schedule of events we developed was followed and flowed very well. We we very pleased with his performance.
Amazing! They were so sweet and regularly checking in maki g sure that the music is exactly what we wanted. They also were willing to change things up, as well as communicate with you as much as you’d like.
Jeff & Josh did amazing being our DJs. Super nice guys and did everything we asked. Highly recommend! Thank you guys. 💖
We had an absolutely horrible experience with Jeff and Jacob. Our entire wedding weekend was fantastic except the DJ, which is an important part! We used the online portal to list out all songs and even had a call to go over the what to play and when. Jacob was a disaster. He did not follow any of our instructions. He played our first dance song right when we entered, so we had NO time to greet guests. This was not what we asked for in our chat with Jeff. He proceeded to play the same song twice in a row (?), play all of our music for later in night at the beginning, and completely fumble our dedication songs. It was SO bad that our guests were asking about it. He also left the booth for long periods of time to enjoy our food and drink, and he just hit shuffle (I guess?). We wrote to Jeff with our concerns after the wedding, and he couldn’t even signify us with a response. Absolutely horrific experience and completely ruined our vision for the reception! DO NOT RECOMMEND!
I would NOT recommend. Getting a response from Jeff was always an adventure. Nice guy when we did speak, and we thought we'd found a great DJ for our wedding. Then, on the day of our event, a random guy from another company introduced himself as our DJ. No phone call or email from Jeff to let us know. Zero communication with our wedding coordinator. The replacement DJ went on to make several big mistakes (played the wrong intro song, mispronounced our name, bad microphone during the reception). Overall, it turned out ok, but if Jeff had let us know what was going on we could have prevented some of these issues.
Excellent! Clear communication months in advance, had a nice setup with the lights and our monogram. The DJ read the crowd and got everyone going, would definitely use again for any future events!
Shockwave entertainment was timely, energetic, and super helpful. They worked quickly with last minute changes and were happy to do anything we asked. Shannon kept the energy up the whole time and made sure everyone was having a blast! Would definitely recommend for any event you have!!!
Jeff was an awesome DJ at our wedding! He made it so much fun with all of the music, and getting our guest involved with different songs and dances! He was great to work with as we chose our music for our wedding and reception . It was an incredible day!
Such a great experience! Jacob was so fun and kept everyone dancing! Thank y’all so much for making our night so fun!!!
Dj Josh was great! Highly recommend Shockwave Entertainment!
We used shockwave for our small reception & Jacob made us forget that it was a intimate reception. The energy was great! We had a few children there and he was patient with their music requests (we gave them permission to take requests).
Absolutely loved this service!! Would recommend them a million times over!
Best Dj in the savannah area!! Jeff was incredible! Our guest were raving about the song selections and involvement with everyone! He even surprised me with a song that he let me dj myself! What an experience! Jeff is your go to for all events! So much fun!
I highly recommend Shockwave for DJ services at your wedding! Their pricing is super affordable, great value for the cost. They have an online portal where the couple can designate the songs they want to hear, and a place to enter the planned schedule and the songs to play for each part of the timeline (cake cutting, first dance, etc). Jeff personally called me to talk through the schedule and gave me some really great suggestions for timing and logistics of the reception. He had played at our venue before which was very helpful. The DJ that actually played our wedding was not Jeff, but he still did a great job. Our guests were dancing the whole time!
So much fun and had the dance floor full all night
10/10 recommend! We just used Shockwave Entertainment for our wedding on April 1st and I have nothing but good things to say about this company! We hired them kinda last minute but they were sooooo easy to work with and the communication was great too! They were even willing to add/change uplighting like the day before! Super sweet people that provide an excellent service! So glad we got to meet Josh & Jeff!
Jeff was our dj and I can’t say enough good things .. he was on time very professional and kept us on the dance floor all night .. I will suggest him to everyone ..
Jeff and his team are amazing! Jeff was great with being in contact and getting everything organized prior to our wedding date. His crew did an amazing job the day of! On time and kept the night going! Highly recommend!!!
They were awesome! Kept everyone dancing all night long!!
Jeff was amazing to work with. Him and his team took into account all the information I gave them and they did a great job with announcements to reorganize people and keeping the dance floor alive. We were very happy with our music at our wedding and the customer service!
We hired Shockwave to DJ our wedding and they performed above and beyond our expectations! They respected all requests we made, checked on us throughout the evening, and made sure our guests had an amazing time! Jeff and Jacob were very personable and fast to respond to any questions we had! They were sure to ask any questions they had prior to our wedding to make sure they were fully prepared to deliver music and sound mastery as soon as they arrived!
Hired Shockwave for my daughter’s wedding. Jeff was so easy to work with and his attention to detail from the beginning through to the wedding day was impeccable. Our DJ Donny kept the party hopping all night long with fantastic music selections. They did not miss a “beat” at all. I would highly highly recommend Shockwave Entertainment for any event.
Jeff was amazing. He was easy to work with, prompt, and everything went very smoothly. His communication is on point when I had any last minute questions. Thanks Jeff!
Our DJ Josh was amazing! We had so much fun. He was very organized and on top of everything!
Jeff was fantastic! I wouldn't change a thing. He was professional, prompt, responsive but most of all fun!!! Thank you Jeff!!
Perfect DJ!! Easy to organize in advance, their emails kept us on schedule and allowed us to get requests, do not plays and the order of events all done online when it was convenient! They even played a mashup song! Loved that they understood we didn’t want the “full song” to play for father daughter/ first/ mother son, etc and found the perfect places to cut them! Day of event we’re set up and ready as scheduled. Knew the venue and provided valuable insights. Arrived looking professional and did a great job keeping the event on time. Even made a suggestion to keep us on time when the bride and groom’s photos ran late!
The only draw back was that there were times the music was a bit loud, but it was fixed when we brought to their attention. Would hire again!
The best Dj team I could dream for our wedding. Always on too of everything even before the event. We danced the whole night. Lights were amazing and the exit sparkulars were the best of the best. I am glad that I hired Jeff and his team for our wedding.
The absolute best DJ was a 10 out of 10 experience! Jeff was amazing throughout the whole experience and helped made our wedding reception absolutely amazing!
There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe my opinion of Jeff and Shockwave. When my wedding planner didn’t show for the rehearsal or for the wedding, Jeff jumped right up and took charge. Because of him, MacKenzie and Drew’s wedding was perfect. At the reception, Jeff kept the party flowing and everyone from 2 y/o kids to an 80 y/o clogger (truth) were having a blast. Even when we had to end things a little early because we were outside and it was lightning bad, Jeff had that covered as well. Because of the lightning and rain we were unable to light the sparklers to send the couple off. Jeff had a sparkler machine for our emergency. It is rare when you get the chance to meet and work with God’s Angels but I believe in my heart I did. I have already recommended Jeff and Shockwave to a friend for their daughter’s wedding next year. If you can use them for any event, you will not be disappointed.

Jeff was absolutely amazing! He was attentive to every detail throughout the rehearsal, ceremony as well as reception. He was very knowledgeable and helped make decisions as needed! He kept the dance floor busy while still attending to my needs! He was the best DJ and a wonderful friend! I would highly recommend Shockwave Entertainment! Thank you for making this a very memorable and EPIC weekend!
Jeff and his team were amazing! Josh was so helpful and flexible with making sure our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch--despite having to change locations for ceremony due to rain.
Josh provided music for both our ceremony and reception. Knowing that the music was in great hands took away a lot of stress on a day that can be very stressful. The music for the reception kept everyone moving from all age groups!
Jeff and his team were everything my husband and I dreamed of. What I love about them the most is how interactive they are with the crowd. They get people involved. They are so easy to work with and know how to make the whole process very smooth.
Jeff and his team were amazing! Jeff was reaching out to ask all the right questions in order to make my wedding exactly what I wanted. He came to my rehearsal to make sure that everything went smoothly.
Thank you shockwave for making my guests dance all night!!
Jeff did exactly what I asked for, and he exceeded all of my expectations! He got the guest very involved and everyone had such a great time!!! The dance floor was crowded the whole night (which is just what we wanted!). I am SO glad that we went with Shockwave Entertainment! Jeff was always willing to meet up to discuss anything that I wanted to. So professional! If you decide to use Shockwave, definitely get the sparkler machines! I am so glad that we did :)
Jacob made our 50th anniversary celebration so much fun for all ages!! From our grandchildren to our friends, Jacob was able to get us all dancing and having a wonderful time!!! Thanks Josh for providing an exceptional Shockwave DJ!!!
Jeff did an amazing job with the music for my ceremony and reception. Could not have asked for a better team to work with for my big day! I love the website where you can choose the music you want, it also helped me to organize the night before my planner did!
Josh was awesome!! He helped the day go so smooth! He was so nice and helpful. Music is my biggest passion and I couldn't have been happier! It was a perfect day! Thank you!!
Josh was absolutely the best on my daughters special night! He was on top of everything and the night was PERFECT! Thanks Josh!
Josh was wonderful! Very professional and attune to the guests. Very punctual and requested our feedback throughout the evening. Would HIGHLY recommend!
Only negative is that our venue requested we have no songs with profanity but a couple of songs were played anyway. I'm sure it was just a simple oversight and it was nothing major (venue owner didn't even notice), so it was all good.
Very professional and well prepared!
Very professional, followed timeline which was very helpful in making sure event flowed smoothly! Very pleased ! Great job …
Jeff was amazing!!! He did everything just like we asked and did a great job at getting everyone out to the dance floor. In fact he did such a good job, we decided to hire him for my cousins wedding this coming September. Don’t waste time with anyone else, I promise you will NOT be disappointed.
Jeff was amazing! He was so energetic and kept the party going. The guests raved about him for days after. He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and made sure he knew everything we wanted. Can’t recommend him enough.
Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! Jeff was so awesome. So helpful and kept everything on track. Even before the wedding he met with me to make sure he understood everything I wanted. He even text me the night before the wedding to make sure the song for the bride (me) walking down the isle was the correct one I wanted and I really appreciated that. Have already recommended Shockwave to several people.
Highly recommend! To start off he wasn’t always calling to get information. He called twice to get my songs and my timeline, the second time was to confirm those details and get anything I didn’t have the call prior. As a bride that’s nice because you have so many other venders always calling you. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to do anything. Jeff and josh came in and set everything up and just started running with it. They were very interactive with the guests from the time they got there until they were walking out the door. Jeff did all of the formal stuff for us and Josh did all of our reception songs and dancing. At one point he was even out on the dance floor dancing with my guests! I loved that. I will def be using them again in the future for my big events.
Jeff worked with us first with the booking and planning and he was great! Easy to get in touch with. Gave a lot of information. We then got in touch with Donny (our dj) and he was ready to jump on top of everything. He called us and made sure he had everything right. He showed up for rehearsal to make sure he had everything correct. He did great during the ceremony and reception! Everyone loved him!
If you want the owner (Jeff Wells) to scream at your wedding coordinator and try to fight the brides father, then hire them. So unprofessional and honestly ruined the whole wedding. I wish there was an option for 0 stars. Still in shock at the level of disrespect shown.
My DJ backed out on us 2 weeks before the wedding and that was the best thing that could’ve happened! Josh with Shockwave Entertainment made our wedding dreams come true!! He arrived early and had everything ready to go before the guests started showing up. He played off my playlist but also was great at reading the crowd and played music based on what had us dancing and having a good time. My sister was having a breakdown before giving her speech and Josh talked with her personally and made accommodations to make her feel more comfortable. He wasn’t only a great DJ, he became a friend. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Thank you Josh for everything!!!!
On behalf of my husband and I we would like to thank, Josh at shockwave entertainment. He did an exceptional job at our wedding and went above and beyond to meet every need that we had. He was such a breeze to work with. If anyone is looking for a DJ for your wedding or any event I would most definitely go with Josh if possible. At times I’m sure I was a headache to work with because of my work schedule but he was very patient and understanding. We cannot be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thanks again, Josh!
Shockwave Entertainment was amazing! We booked them for the ceremony and reception, and they did not disappoint! Jeff worked great with me in making sure we had the perfect timeline, as well as, the best photo booth and crew ( it was a hit!). With approximately 15 songs provided the DJ made sure to keep the dance floor alive! I 100% recommend them!
Shockwave (we had Jeff) Entertainment handle our wedding with music pre-wedding thru Reception. Jeff made for a secure and comfortable event as he made sure all things were moving to plan..He made the activities fun and enjoyable. Even greater was working with Jeff before and suring the event... he is absolutely awesome to work with! Kind, polite, professional and very helpful..Could not have asked or gotten better! I was very satisfied and impressed!
Jeff with shockwave was amazing. Not only was he fantastic at making sure everything happened according to the time line but he kept everyone on the dance floor all night, he was very professional, kind and understanding, he also provided great advice on how to make my wedding perfect!
We had the best time with Shockwave at our reception. Book for your next event!!
Jeff was very professional and accommodating. Eager to please! It was a pleasure working with him and his son Joshua during our wedding event.
Jeff was amazing! He played all the songs we wanted, kept a great party vibe going the entire time and was a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend him!
Shockwave Entertainment played such a special role in our wedding day. From early morning hair and make up, to prelude and wedding ceremony music and sound support, to appetizer hour, reception meal and dance, and the ADPi solo and acoustic guitar support, Jeff used our wedding inspiration to create the most magical wedding day possible! This support was so impressive as it occurred in 2020, during one of the most uncertain years ever. We are so very thankful for Jeff at Shockwave and the positive energy, creativity, and high quality music, sound, and monogram display presentation that he provided!!!
Jeff Wells at Shockwave was so great to us!!! He was patient through all of my wedding forgetfulness. Our wedding was postponed from its original date due to Covid, and Jeff was so great with working with us on a new date, new times, etc. He is also a wonderful emcee and helped keep our timeline moving as I wanted it to. I will absolutely use them for any other event we have as we move forward in our married lives :)
Shockwave did such an amazing job at my wedding! They were easy to work with and so entertaining at the wedding reception. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s planning a wedding or event!
DJ Wells was great! He was very interactive, played the requested songs for ceremony and reception, and overall the music/ dancing time was fun.
Jeff and Josh DJ'd our wedding. I can not Express in words how awesome they were, but I am certainly going to try! First of all, i could not have made it through the day without them!!! They did so much more than play music, they pretty much orchestrated the whole ceremony and reception. I gave them my timeline and they ensured things ran smoothly. It took such a burden off me because they kept in contact with the caterer, pastor, photographer, etc. They seriously were like my day of coordinator. When i went inside to get dressed, i handed the reins over and they flawlessly handled it all for me. Our caterer was late, but they didnt miss a beat, and we just adjusted the events to compensate. I dont even think the guests noticed. And let's talk about the garter toss!!! They had a nice little surprise for us and actually made everyone line up and my man had to dance to me. They had the whole crowd going wild and cheering him on, it was fantastic!! Neither of us knew that was coming. But my god can they get the crowd going. And they even played all the corny dances I asked for, like cupid shuffle and casper slide etc.
They were absolutely fantastic!! And you will not be disappointed. Not to mention their sound system had my backyard popping!
Shannon with ShockWave did an awesome job at my daughter's wedding. He engaged the crowd, was a lot of fun, organized and very professional. He was able to get all of the songs we wanted and helped make it a perfect reception!
Shockwave did an outstanding job at our wedding. Brian kept the part going and made sure everyone knew what was going on. I didn't have to worry one bit about music or announcements. He had it handled. I would highly recomend Shockwave for anyone looking for a DJ. Jeff was super helpful and professional setting up the plan and making sure it was all together. They were great!
Jeff and Shockwave Entertainment did an awesome job at our wedding. They were fun, professional, and kept the energy moving all night. They were very easy to work with if you are from out of town or have a busy schedule.
Jeff did an amazing job at my daughter's wedding. He kept the guests on the dance floor and everyone enjoyed the music! Shockwave Entertainment is amazing to work with. They were always there for any questions or concerns.
Jeff did a great job with the music for our wedding. We met with him multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it and he made great suggestions along the way. The day of, Jeff was on time and played all music perfectly. He even played a few extra songs at the end of the night just for us.
Jeff and Josh were Amazing to work with! Jeff worked with us when I had to changed my date. He was there with us to set up beach ceremony and to set venue as well. Always willing to lend a helping hand and bring in fresh ideas to make our day special and be to remember. To my surprise Jeff can also Officiate as well ! So we reached out to him to do our ceremony as well. It was wonderful he didn't miss a detail ! Kudos to Jeff and Shockwave Entertainment !! Definitely would use them again!
These guys are great! I had. A lot of unexpected changes on the wedding day and the DJ rolled with all the punches and even brought the groom out of his shell!!! Thanks so much!
Shockwave Entertainment was awesome! Jeff responded to me right away and kept in touch throughout the whole process. Jeff did an amazing job keeping everyone dancing throughout the night and keeping to our timeline. It was nice to just enjoy our reception and now have to worry about what was coming next, Jeff had that part covered! The music was a great mix of the songs we wanted and upbeat songs to keep the party going. This company is fun and professional, and I would recommend them for any wedding or event!
Shockwave did an amazing job for our wedding. Jeff was quick to reply to my inquiry and stayed in touch throughout the planning process to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. On the day of, Josh did a great job!! He made sure the order of events flowed smoothly, the music was perfect and everyone had a blast dancing! Thank you Shockwave for an awesome party!
Super fun!! Great song choices and kept us going!!
Shockwaves Entertainment did an amazing job. They were very professional and interactive with the quest. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for an awesome job couldn't have asked for anything more.
Jeff was so awesome to work with. I had no idea what songs to play, and he was so helpful and patient with me. All of the music the entire night was fun and family friendly. Loved how interactive they were with all of the guests. At one point they were even doing the worm on the dance floor with us! Could not have asked for better music the entire night!
They were very interactive and fun - just what we wanted. Had some great impromptu moments that really helped the flow of the evening and they kept the dance floor going. The photo booth was great as well!
Hands down the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! Jeff was incredibly professional from the moment we first spoke. He responds quickly and thoroughly. Jeff made me feel like his only priority every time we spoke even when my wedding was nearly a year away! Shockwave Entertainment goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that the wedding day runs smoothly and is exactly how the bride envisions. Jeff was well prepared and allowed us to customize as little or as much as we wanted to when it came to music. Jeff kept us on schedule (as I requested) and was incredible at "reading the room". He knew exactly what songs to play to get our guests up and dancing. Jeff was fun, caring, professional, engaging, and entertaining. I could list great things about Shockwave Entertainment FOREVER. You WILL NOT regret using Jeff and his team for your DJ services!!!
Shockwave was amazing to work with. On the day of our wedding we had to make a last minute decision to move the ceremony due to the rain or rather massive thunderstorm. They were quick, efficient, and happily accommodating to the changes. They also were willing to change the schedule and continued to check in with me to make sure I was happy and didn't need anything. He even got me my drink for dinner. Shannon went above and beyond and I would recommend them for any event not just weddings.
Absolutely wonderful! Our DJ Josh understood exactly the feel we were aiming for our big night and nailed it! I would recommend him to anyone!
Jeff and his team were great to work with! Jeff worked with me when I changed my date. He even came out to the venue and helped me work on the layout for the reception! Shannon was very professional and kept a fun environment all night. Definitely would use them again!
Shockwave is a great family owned entertainment business!! Jeff was such a pleasure to work with during the planning process and was super responsive to my last minute questions/changes. He was very accommodating and I never felt like I was bothering him. He took the time to meet with us and be sure he knew exactly what we wanted and the vibe we were aiming for.
As for the wedding itself - The wedding day was absolutely perfect! Josh was so personable and made sure he checked with me and my husband throughout the night. He even prevented a problem before it became an issue by guiding us right into our father/daughter & mother/son dances because he knew the caterer was running behind. We were so appreciative that he made that call instead of having our guests wait even longer (already had an hour cocktail hour) for their dinner.
We especially loved Josh’s breakout dance when he came out to the dance floor and did the worm! It really got the crowd excited!!
Thank you so much Shockwave and I hope any bride out there that is undecided takes my word for it - choose Shockwave!
Jeff Wells and his team was absolutely the best ! I have no complaints. They did everything like I wanted and went above and beyond my expectations !!
