My husband and I renewed our vows at the end of 2025 and reached out to several vendors for DJ services. Choosing SKM was one of the best decisions we made! We were paired with Gar...
y Jenkins, and he was absolutely phenomenal.
What stood out most was his willingness to meet with us beforehand and truly get to know our story. He incorporated those personal details into the day in such a thoughtful way, which made everything feel even more special and meaningful.
We didn’t have a specific song list, just a general vibe we were going for — and Gary nailed it. The music was perfect, the energy was right, and the flow of the event couldn’t have been better.
Hands down, we recommend SKM — and especially Gary. He helped make our day unforgettable! 🌟
I could not be happier with SKM Entertainment! They were amazing to work with, very professional, organized and truly invested in making my son's wedding unforgettable.
Our cons...
ultant made some recommendations that I was apprehensive about - the uplighting, which made the venue look absolutely stunning, and I am so glad we decided to do them. The photo booth with the garden backdrop and twinkling lights were so charming that the pictures came out beautiful and made our guest look even more amazing than they already were.
The best surprise was the cold sparks - they were a spectacular addition and completely surprised our guests during the grand entrance and the first dance...it was such a magical moment.
The music, energy and overall experience was so incredible I highly recommend SKM to anyone looking to make your wedding day memorable!
I was at a wedding of a friend in Arizona and SKM Entertainment was the DJ company that hosted her wedding. What was impressive is the details that they focused on! The up lighti...
ng around the room, the dance floor lighting, the 360 degree photo booth, everything was a blast! I’ve been to several weddings and none of them were as fun and engaging like this. SKM uses an MC and a DJ, and the combo was fun to watch. I don’t remember their names, but the two worked amazingly as a team! I will be using them for my wedding.
I met with SKM to plan an anniversary party and worked with Rylan and Gary. They were recommended to us by a co-worker. We chose to go with one of their female dj’s which was rea...

We couldn’t be happier that we hired SKM! Kelsey was fantastic with communication and so kind throughout the process. I wasn’t sure if additional lighting was necessary for our ven...
ue, but Kelsey went above and beyond to research and share what they had done there previously for me to review. Gary was absolutely incredible—his energy, professionalism and seamless coordination put our nerves at ease and got us so excited for the big day. He brought so much life to our celebration, and everyone loved him. The DJ also kept the dance floor packed all night with great music. Highly recommend!
SKM is absolutely the best! They've down my sister's wedding, a friend's wedding and now mine. It was a blast! They did such a wonderful, fun job and made the day go by so smoothly...
! I high recommend them and the MC, Gary Jenkins for any upcoming weddings or big events!
On time. Kept the crowd going! Played music we enjoyed. Everything you can ask for from a DJ and Emcee.
As a preferred vendor for our venue - SKM is wonderful to work with!!
We used SKM for the uplighting and photobooth for our wedding and I could not be happier that we did! I didn't realize I could be blown away by a photobooth but I was! The design o...
n the printouts was perfect and our guests had an absolute blast and it was the perfect favor. Our photobooth attendant (I'm so sad I didn't get his name) was INCREDIBLE. He was such a great hype man and had amazing energy. So many people complimented him and had fun with him!
I also want to give a shout out to Kelsey for being incredible to work with. She always answered me so quickly and was so kind and thoughtful throughout. I am confident if I used them for more services I would not have regretted it based on what I saw. Thank you!!!
If you are a worried and busy bride, please give yourself the gift of hiring Kelsey Burbey and SKM Entertainment! Kelsey and her team of experts managed to ease my mind, make me ...
smile, and leave me feeling confident when I thought that would be impossible! This team created an outstanding event for us, every guest was laughing and happy and made a point to tell us how awesome it was. Such a relief at this important time and at this party to know I could relax, I am eternally grateful for the experts and team at SKM!
Used SKM for our wedding and was so happy we did! The entire wedding went extremely smoothly and a lot of that was thanks to SKM.
We were planning the wedding from overseas in a ...
complete different time zone, but SKM worked with us to make it happen and make it comfortable. The emcee took meetings with us at odd hours of the night and even gave us some great ideas to use at the wedding. We also had a bit of a different wedding because we hosted some games and did some Chinese cultural things. I was shocked to find out that our emcee actually knew quite a bit of Chinese!
What really stood out was how the staff went above and beyond even on the little things. I remember seeing someone spill a drink on the dance floor and the emcee quietly went over with a rag and wiped it up.
The music was great, the lighting and set up was spectacular, but most of all the people involved were amazing. I couldn't ask for more.
Communication was excellent, very easy to work with and made the night something we will never forget. Thank you SKM!
SKM made my wedding a BLAST! Highly recommend!
Overall, a very good experience. We wanted to put emphasis on a party atmosphere so we got the package with a DJ, MC, and light engineer. We had a meeting with Gary (MC). He was ve...
ry personable and got a good understanding of our vision.
During the wedding, Gary and the team did a great job of trying to get the crowd engaged and dancing.
My only frustration with them was that during the 2 minute pictures and another activity, they did not play the specific songs we had requested on their forms and discussed during our meeting. It’s a small thing which is why I gave 4 stars.
I would still very much recommend them to friends who need DJ services.
Very professional, extremely friends and went above and beyond to make sure my event was a hit!
Brendan was the best DJ we ever had! He kept the lines of communication open at all times during the planning process.
We were exhausted from dancing, every time we tried to leave...
the dancefloor, he would play another irresistible song, and we ‘had’ to keep dancing!
He was very professional, knew exactly how to read the crowd so he played all the right music to keep everyone in a party mood.
We will definitely ask for him specifically when we plan our next event!
Thank you, Brendan!

We had an excellent experience with SKM for our wedding on June 6th, 2023. We met with our DJ (Peter) about a week before the wedding, and he was perfect for us. We were complicate...
d even so much as having 4 different songs during the ceremony alone! He was wonderful. He got there 2 hours early to set up the reception space and ceremony space. He led the night's events in a seamless fun way and ensured that everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for being a part of our day!
We had Gary as our DJ/MC for our wedding in Scottsdale and he was so good and such a joy to be around that we wanted to write him a quick 5 star review.
Gary set the tone from the...
beginning with his professionalism, presence and fun attitude. He got to know my fiancé and I on a call he prearranged a week before our wedding that way he knew what to expect and tailored the experience to the wedding party and guests.
I highly recommend Gary for your wedding if you would like the ultimate experience. He was terrific!
Our wedding coordinator suggested this company and they were very easy to work with. Our DJ made our day even more special by always being there at the right moment and played mus...

Music is everything to me. The vibe and energy in the room was important to me. An DJ & MC are so much more than just playing a song. The moment I saw SKM's set up at the bridal...
show I knew they were the ones for the job.
Gary was so amazing. He exceeded my expectations and gave us so much more than what we could have imagined. Best decision I ever made was making Gary a part of our big day. He made all the difference in the world. There's no words I can say other than, wow and thank you so much for going above and beyond for us.
SKM did a fabulous job! Our MC, Brendon was a great fit for our ceremony and reception. He and the DJ executed my music timing requests perfectly the day of and Brendon was the per...
fect amount of guest involvement with guest entertainment. The guests had a great time thanks to the team and had nothing but positive comments for our DJs. Thank you, both!!
SKM did a great job at my wedding & reception. I highly recommend requesting Gary Jenkins as your MC - he was outstanding!
I honestly couldn't have expected a better entertainment company than SKM. Not only were they all incredibly kind, but they were very flexible with any accommodations we requested ...
during the usual craze of a party, whether it be changing the mood lighting for one of our Indian fusion dances or incorporating more Hindi music in our DJ playlist. Gary was especially a vibe on the dance floor with his killer dance moves to "Moves Like Jagger". I am so grateful they could help us host my parent's 25th anniversary and make it all the more special. I highly recommend SKM because they are more than just a company you hire for one day: they are family.
SKM Entertainment truly encompassed the most wonderful, professional, exciting, compassionate, and enthusiastic people we could have had for my parents' 25th anniversary party!!! O...
ur MC for the night was none other than Gary, who blew us all away with his warmth, energy, and insaneeee dancing skills that he brought to our dance floor. I would recommend him and this company for any and every single event you could think of. Moreover, every single step of the way, everyone at SKM made us feel like family, rather than clients. It made planning the music and lighting that much more fun and not stressful. My sister and I also needed high quality mics for our performances/speeches for our parents and their sound mixing/quality were just top-notch! The joy they exuded with all of our guests made all of our guests telling us repeatedly how much they enjoyed the energy of our DJ/MC at our party. I cannot commend this company enough for how beautiful they made our parents' and family's much anticipated night. We adore everyone at SKM and are so so grateful to have met them for our party. :)
Our MC Dave and our DJ were absolutely fantastic! The level of service and professionalism were amazing! Dave was very helpful and made sure we got exactly what we asked for. We wo...

I don’t even know where to start! If we could give 10 stars, we would!! From the moment we called SKM, they were great! We hired Gary and he was perfect!! He definitely doesn’t tre...
at this like a job, he was super interactive with our guests, danced with the kiddos and listened to/ executed any request with a smile on his face. He even had his own phone out recording some of the moments on the dance floor and sent them to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Thank you all so much for everything!!
We have used SKM for many years for all of our Corporate events. We have used them for photo booths, DJ and many other things. They are amazing to work with. We have a favorite ...
DJ that we request and as much as I don't want to share him with all of you he is to AMAZING to not share....if you want smiles for days and energy that you can't stop, DJ Gary is your guy. He never stops moving, always has a smile on his face and will do whatever he can to find a song if he doesn't have it. (which is not usual). SKM is the way to go for any of your entertainment needs. Thanks SKM! Look forward to the next event!!! Thanks again DJ Gary for an amazing night! Enterprise Loves ya!!

We had a wonderful experience with SKM. From a user friendly online profile, where we could layout a timeline and specific requests, to day of execution everything was amazing. Our...
personal DJ, Dave, was everything we could have asked for and more. He went out of his way to accommodate us, and really made the entire event a special memory. We highly recommend them to anyone planning an event in the area.
Skm and Leslie were great to work with. Out of everyone though, Dave really stood out and helped make everything special.
Phenomenal experience with SKM and DJ Dave. Incredibly thorough, politely assertive and always fun! Thank you for exceptional service!
