Take The Leap Entertainment

rst time we met it was like we had known him forever! Corey was very helpful on answering any questions we had on creating a playlist of even on the wedding in general- I say he should just be a wedding planner cause my goodness! On our big day Corey made sure everybody’s nerves were calmed and even talked some family into giving a speech which made the day even more beautiful. Corey knew just what to say to get a crowd going and was a huge part of our favorite day; Without him it wouldn’t have been perfect. Thank you for being you and nobody else!! I still have people reaching out to book him for their weddings this upcoming year and we 1000/10 recommend!

ime, he kept in touch with all the vendors, he checked in on us and our wedding party, and he made sure he played all of our favorite songs! He is SO organized with his planning forms and really will go above and beyond for his clients! The CO cannon was a huge hit at our wedding also! People still talk about it to this day! We are so beyond thankful to have had him at our wedding! 🤍

incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our vision for the day. He took the time to understand our music tastes, our guests’ preferences, and even helped guide us through creating the perfect playlist for each part of the celebration. On the big day, Corey kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. The transitions between songs were seamless, and he perfectly read the crowd, adjusting the music to keep the momentum going. What really stood out was his ability to create a fun, engaging atmosphere without being overbearing — he knew exactly when to step in and when to let the music speak for itself. We also appreciated how smoothly everything went behind the scenes. The sound and lighting were flawless, and Corey worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure everything ran on time. We got so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music and how great the vibe was throughout the night. If you’re looking for a DJ who not only knows how to get the party started but also truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable, we highly recommend Corey. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack to our special day! -The Bergstroms

would. When it came to our wedding we were stressed about checking all our vendors off the list and as a young couple with limited funds became skeptical of each vendor. I personally wanted to “vet” them and make sure they truly cared about us and our big day. So upon our first meeting with Corey I came with my “guard up” but after just a few moments his personality, thoughtfulness, & ample energy made both my wife & I feel like we were on the right track. Corey was able to talk with us through our entire night on what we wanted when it came to walk out songs, playlists, timeline, & overall mood of the wedding. As someone who always wants the aux cord at parties or meet ups we knew how important it was that our “big party” to have the music rocking and the people dancing. Corey 1000% delivered on the atmosphere and music. He made a custom one of a kind playlist for our big day and was able to seamlessly blend our taste of country, pop, 2000’s hits, rap, & dance centric. As I told our wedding guests in my thank you, “The drinks aren’t free, but the dance floor is!”. Which in turned put the pressure on Corey to deliver and he stepped up like Tom Brady in the 4th quarter! Even outside of the overall DJ experience, Corey was able to time my wife’s ceremony entrance with her favorite song to the second, which resulted in a jaw dropping I will never forget. He emceed our first dances and grand entrance with a powerful flare which I could only put on scale with the Michael & Bruce Buffers of the world. We felt like the moment was truly ours and were standing at the top of the hill. I’m glad we took the leap with Take the Leap Entertainment on 7/12/24 as Corey made our best day the greatest day with his enthusiastic voice, the heart pounding jams, & empathetic attitude to every single detail Thank you so much Corey,

depth to make sure your day is perfect, to the open communication, to the seamless work on our wedding day, I cannot recommend him enough! Our dance floor was packed literally all night and I couldn’t have imagined anyone else to play the best music, and especially keeping our guests informed and entertained during dinner as well! So thankful that we had Corey there to make our day so perfect!

a DJ. 1. Someone who was a strong emcee and could run the reception with ease and keep everyone entertained. 2. Integrate my husband’s culture by playing Arab music throughout the reception and for the grand entrance as a dabke group performed. 3. Keep the dance floor alive!! Corey took on all of these challenges and more and absolutely blew us away. We had the most fun and packed dance floor all night long, and Corey took all requests with grace and incorporated them with ease into his set. He took on the challenge of playing music he had maybe never heard before, and had so much fun with it! We got so many comments from guests on how fun our dance was and how great our DJ was. From the moment we booked until the final song, Corey was on his A-game and we knew we were in amazing hands. So organized, fun, and energetic. He also had so many amazing touches, with custom lighting throughout the venue and a CO2 cannon all included. We truly could go on and on. THANK YOU COREY!!!

ure we were doing good & if we needed anything. He is a phenomenal entertainer, kept our guests laughing, & had us all on the dance floor past midnight. We are beyond happy to have chosen Take the Leap Entertainment for our DJ.

information. We decided to meet with him and after that we would we make our decision. We knew IMMEDIATELY that we wanted to work with Corey and have him be a part of our day! You can tell how passionate he is with his work and that shined through the whole time we worked with him. Corey made the process fun and enjoyable which was important to us because wedding planning can be SO stressful! He went above and beyond at every meeting and between meetings--texting us to make sure everything was going well and just to check in! Then the big day came...We truly do not know what we would have done if we didn't have Corey there that day! He helped coordinate the whole day and made sure not only that we had timelines, but our parents did too! The place looked amazing with his setup and the uplighting he did! The music sounded FANTASTIC and if you are thinking of doing a vow voiceover--100% DO IT!!! It was one of the best parts of the day! Corey is SO professional, funny, caring, talented, and all around a great guy! He even made sure to check in on me and reminded me to take breaks and elevate my feet when I could. (I'm 7 months pregnant, so this meant SO much to us!) We cannot recommend him enough! We truly feel like we gained another great friend through this process and we can never thank him enough! We will never stop recommending him to family and friends! Thank you again Corey! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

u knew how to keep us on schedule and limit the rare, if any chaos that there could be! Thank you thank you thank you!! We will recommend you over and over in the future and hope to see you in the future. You’re the best and sweetest human and we appreciate all of the time and work you put in to help make our day SO FUN!! And SO SPECIAL!! We will never forget this day, it was truly the best day ever. You timed everything so perfectly and knew how to nail everything perfectly, the music during the ceremony making it so emotional and intimate!! The dance floor was full till the last song and his sound booth is sooo clean looking and aesthetic!! He even got Kaleb the groom absolutely bawling 😭😭😭 and the music during dinner and grand march THANK YOU! And the voiceovers !!?? So good 😭😭 kaleb and I are going to have these forever and it is SO special to us what a great idea!! Our day went perfectly and we know you had a huge part of it. So on behalf on all of my family and friends kaleb and I thank you a million because man did we throw a party!!!! THANK YOU COREY you’re worth it a million times over. Not only did we love everything but so did everyone who shared our day with us ❤️❤️❤️ we love you!!!!!!!

en suggested to us by my MOH and after some research we decided that we wanted to meet with him. We weren’t but 10 minutes into the conversation when both of us knew we had to have him. Not only is he the most genuine, relatable, and FUN guy; but you can also feel the passion he has for the job. His professionalism, attention to detail, and care for making sure you have the perfect day as a couple is totally unmatched. He made us feel so important; personalized everything to us, and made sure we had nothing to worry about. He also makes it an absolute blast for guests in keeping them entertained and included throughout the entire evening. We got many compliments on our day; one of the biggest being Corey as our DJ. We would hire him 1000x over again to help us throw a party! Again Corey, thank you! You truly are the best at what you do! ♥️ -The Gansers

about, and I second guessed myself. Thank goodness I did! I told my fiance, and he reluctantly agreed to meet Corey because he also said we should just go cheap on the DJ. Well, one meeting was all it took. We got up to leave and in the middle of my sentence telling Corey we'd get back to him, my fiance interrupted and said just "sign the papers babe, the whole deal, he's it." My fiance couldn't stop talking about this meeting during the rest of our wedding planning. It was what he was most excited about, our DJ and the games he had planned. Corey did not disappoint. He's organized, thorough, thoughtful, helpful, and hest of all, loves his job, and that shows. Corey, you were truly amazing at our wedding. We can't thank you enough for all you did. Thank you for being a part of our day and making it one we won't ever forget. If you still need a DJ, this is your guy!

ged he was our first vendor booked once we determined our wedding date. He makes you feel like his only clients and that his attention is always only on you. Corey walks you through what to expect throughout the days leading up to your wedding day, the wedding day itself and is willing to answer any questions you might have. He put together a schedule of our entire wedding day and gave it out to our family and wedding party to make sure everyone was on the same page. Corey made sure everything we wanted to happen at our wedding, happened. We can truly say we don’t think our wedding would have turned out how it did without him. We have and will continue to recommend Corey to everyone who is getting married. He is truly the best!

en he is your guy!! Everything Corey did for us was SO personalized from the wedding trivia, to the love story, to our personal vow voiceovers. We had many, many people come up to us saying they had never been to a wedding that was so personal and had never been so entertained! The shoe game with our parents and the garter dance off were a HUGE hit! Corey is a type A planner, such as myself, and really goes above and beyond to make sure everything will run smoothly from discussing how to hold the microphone with speakers to calling and working with other vendors to confirm a day of timeline. I would recommend Corey over and over!!! We cannot thank him enough for all the work he put in to make our wedding a success!!

You can easily tell he cares so much about what he does, and it shows. We received numerous compliments for Corey during and after the reception and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great host!

and and I both agree and can confidently say that he is far more than just a DJ. Corey goes above and beyond to incorporate such special moments throughout the night to make it so memorable. Though we didn't opt for it, he offers an extremely special vow voice-over that plays over/during the First Dance. He writes a unique love story that he reads with such passion and excitement right before the first dance. Many of our guests are still talking about our Love story weeks later! That was one of my favorite moments as well! Before the dance even begins, Corey helped us with organizing who gave speeches and when, where to stand, had a super fun trivia game to keep people engaged during dinner, and gave us a lot of options/alternatives to the glass clinking for kisses! We had guests come up and tell a story. This option brought lots of laughs and "awwww"s through the room! My mom thought he was amazing - and she is one tough critic for anything and everything! ALSO Corey had my 71 year-old grandma on the dance floor all night long... no joke. I think that says everything and more

k further for your wedding day, this is who you want!!!!!

calls about how great he was and what an amazing time he made it. Before we even finalized a wedding date I messaged Corey to make sure he was available for the day we were hoping. (We were not getting married without him!) We based our wedding off of his availability, thats how great he is!! I have had the honor of knowing Corey since highschool and couldnt stop talking to my fiance about how wonderful he is. We didn't even make it through our first initial meeting with him and my fiance was sold. We booked and paid right then and there. This is Corey's passion and it shows. He is one of a kind. He puts his heart and soul into every single wedding and event he does. He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and individually and personalizes your day to fit you perfectly. One of the things that makes him stand out from the rest is the weight he takes off of your shoulders. We knew we had nothing to worry about and we were in great hands. We filled out our forms, attended several meetings both over zoom and in person and he handled the rest. He even coordinates with the church, venue, photographer, wedding party, host couple, parents and wedding coordinator the day of to make sure everything runs smoothly. He made a timeline for us, the wedding party and our parents to make sure everyone was on the same page. His attention to detail and organization is impeccable. He ran the entire reception and did so perfectly. My absolute favorite part was the vow voice over! My now husband and I recorded our vows individually with him at our final meeting before the wedding and he mashed them together and played it as the intro to our first dance. It couldn't have been more perfect. We can now replay it every year for our anniversary and that is a gift that is priceless. He kept every person who attended our reception entertained from the very second they arrived to the last dance of the night. The games, trivia and love story made the guests giggle and stay active all night. We cannot thank Corey enough for all the hard work he put into our night to make it extra special. He is so great. It was perfect and we are forever grateful. He is a Godsend.

was so passionate and knowledgeable about his work and would make our wedding day perfect! Corey was very descriptive in explaining his pricing and services that come with each individual package. He knew what we wanted for our wedding even before we even did! Corey was also very helpful in the months leading up to our wedding. He was proactive in setting up follow up meetings, provided accessible and editable online forms and created a detailed day of schedule to coordinate with the other vendors and our families. On the wedding day, he delivered everything and more! In the morning, he was able to set up the up-lighting and a video monogram to fit our venue and vision perfectly! He also personally provided, Nick and I and our parents the schedule and was available for questions and flexible with modifications. He also made sure to check in with us and our parents throughout the reception which was truly appreciated! During the meal portion, the trivia and copycat kiss game were a hit! He also made sure that the bridal party and parents knew the order of speech, so everything went smoothly. During the dance portion of the reception, the love story and vow voiceover were amazing! We also cannot stop laughing about the musical chair game and dance off. The music he played had people dancing all night long! We have received so many compliments how organized and fun our wedding day was. We promise that you will have no regrets if you book Corey! We cannot thank him enough for making our wedding day AMAZING! 😊

"we need to book him right now before someone else does." Corey got to know us as a couple and personalized every detail for us. He had everything organized and we never had to worry about making sure something got done because he already had it taken care of. He stayed in contact with us through the night to make sure we didn't need anything else and the dance floor was literally packed the entire night. I think my family would've danced all the way into the next night with Corey if they had the chance. We got so many compliments on our amazing DJ, everyone had a great time. If you want a wedding to remember, no stress, and a DJ who doesn't just play music but becomes a good friend Corey is the guy for you!

type of person and entertainer that he is. From his infectious personality to his organization, our wedding ceremony and reception went by without a single problem and Corey is a large part of why it went so smooth! My now husband and I met Corey a couple weeks after getting engaged to inquire on pricing and what he could offer and during that meeting Corey was so informative and also took time to get to know us from our careers and individual personalities to our lives as a couple. We walked away from the meeting in absolute awe of him and decided that same day that we wouldn’t want anyone else to be the DJ at our wedding. After that day Corey kept in touch for the months following until approximately three months prior to our wedding we began the ceremony and reception planning forms and meetings. Corey’s forms are detailed and allowed for us as a couple to choose what we want. When meeting with him before the wedding we were able to ask questions and get suggestions from Corey. Each meeting went so great! Our wedding ceremony and reception music, games, trivia, etc was ALL PERFECT! Corey provided us with a timeline and talked to us throughout the reception so we knew what was going to happen throughout the night. Our guests were actively involved and we had multiple people at our reception tell us how wonderful Corey was. He made our wedding something that we will never forget and our guests will never forget and for that we are forever grateful to have had Corey as our DJ and as a friend. Thank you thank you thank you Corey. Love, Ben & Karlea Field

a DJ. He took the worry and stress away from me on the biggest day of mine and my fiance's life. He is so accommodating and is willing to throw in different ideas. All I kept hearing during my reception was your dj is amazing . Corey not only planned mine and my fiance's ceremony and helped with the music for it. But he made our reception worry free. Corey is amazing at entertaining the guests . He was up on his feet the entire wedding reception helping my guests choose songs and keeping the games up beat and fun. The best part was at our first meeting he set the tone for how the entire wedding would go. At our second meeting we got to personalize the entire wedding day from the beginning of the day to the reception at the end of the night. We even had Corey come to our rehearsal dinner to help set up. When we booked with Corey we gained a great friend and an amazing dj. Trust me when I say he truly was spectacular . I was so very pleased with how he interacted with each and every guest. My favorite part was when we got to personalize everything from the music to our vow voice over for the first dance and the love story. When you hire Corey you gain a trusted friend and Dj. I would recommend him time and time again.

or the head table. He really helped eliminate a lot of the stress. Corey is very personable and just all around a great guy! We had Corey for both our ceremony and reception. Truly, made every moment special. We even had to deal with on and off rain the day of our wedding and our ceremony was outside! For the reception, He gets the crowd going from the being to the end! The entrance for the wedding party was so fun and they all love it too! Honestly, I think I only left the dance floor to use the ladies room and my sister offered to pay him more to keep the party going! And not only was the dance just a blast, but all the wedding games were fun too. Matt and I loved the “love story”, shoe game, kissing trivia, and the hoot of a dance off we had for the garter! He helped make every moment special. We’ve also been hearing a lot comments from guest about how amazing of a DJ Corey is and how much fun they had. We would recommend Corey again and again!!

told my wife I wanted - “You give me Corey and the rest if the day is yours.” We met with Corey in January and luckily got him booked the same day. The most important thing that both of us didn’t realize is that we also booked a wedding coordinator. Not a single aspect of our day was overlooked and every second went down flawlessly. We don’t even want to imagine how our day would have went without his amazing help. We received so many compliments after the wedding that they’ve never been to a wedding reception like ours! Thank you again Corey for keeping our dance floor occupied all night! You truly are the best - thank you!!

rtainment, relieve stress and worries from your big day, and keep your guests entertained and involved. I can honestly say, 2 days after the wedding, that we are still receiving compliments about him! He made the whole experience so easy for us and our guests had a blast. You know you've hired a great DJ when your guests recognize him (and the energy/enthusiasm he brings) from a wedding 2 years ago! We really enjoyed the Trivia kissing game and the Shoe game! If you haven't heard of either you should look into it. So fun! My hubby and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Corey Hansen/Take The Leap Entertainment!

ng with our wedding party, and just being an amazingly fun guy to work with!!! Family and friends were also blown away with Corey’s enthusiasm and how he kept the party going all night; it’s been a week since our wedding and still have people asking daily for Corey’s contact information! We would recommend Corey to anyone and everyone knowing he will not disappoint!

ations or the speeches or the food, but they do remember the party and how much fun they had. We wanted our day to be memorable and fun for all our family and friends who were traveling from both near and far to celebrate with us. Knowing this, we knew that the most important vendor to book (aside from the venue and date) was the DJ. I met Corey at the very first wedding show I ever attended and knew immediately that he was the person I wanted to DJ my wedding. As I visited with other DJ’s, I never had the connection that I did with Corey. Corey was energetic and you could tell that he was really excited about his business and what he does and would be that person who would care about you not only as a client, but as a friend as well. I set up a meeting between myself, my husband to be, and Corey to make sure he wasn’t a fluke. At that meeting, Corey was every bit as energetic and excited as he was that first time I met with him. At one point during that meeting, Corey stepped out of the room to allow us time to talk privately. We both looked at each other and said “he’s the one”. From that point on, we both got even more excited for the wedding day, especially the reception, and Corey did not disappoint! He kept the evening moving, organized, and best of all exciting for all of our guests! Corey wasn’t just a DJ, but he was an MC, game show host, dance instructor, event organizer, and so much more! From the comedic grand march that he helped put together, the fun games we played, teaching everyone to wobble, the love story, and not to mention the beautiful uplighting and monogram, Corey made our wedding reception one that we will never forget! All I heard from our guests was how fun our wedding was and how impressed they were with the DJ! So from us to you, Corey…thank you for helping us meet our goal in making our reception more than we ever thought possible and keeping not only us, but all our friends and Family entertained to the very end! To all of you reading this post, if you re looking for a fun and energetic reception, then we can honestly say that there is no other choice that Take the Leap entertainment! W. and Stefanie Ostapina

lite, fun, and personable. He shared his own experiences from his wedding and it was almost like we were there just from the passion and detail he described it in. We could see he cares deeply and really has a passion for what he does. We had a few more meetings with Corey and he laid everything out in detail and helped us along the way. He added special touches to our wedding that made the night so memorable. These memories included the kiss lip synching game to the vow voiceovers. We are more than impressed and couldn't be happier with how Corey handled everything. He was present in the moment and was there to help with anything that we needed. Corey's energy filled the room and we can't thank him enough for the outstanding job that he did to make our night so special and memorable.

s not good and people were leaving by 9pm. When my wife and I found Corey at Take The Leap I was immediately put at ease. From the very beginning of the planning process once we book Corey I was very impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. He was very thorough in gather information on the age and demographic of our guests and what type of reception and dance we were looking for. When it came to the big day Corey did not disappoint. His games and trivia during dinner were a big hit. He got the dance started at the perfect time and kept the dance floor packed all night. I have received compliments from everyone that attended and have had many tell me that it was the best wedding dance they had ever been to. I can say without a doubt that Corey at Take The Leap is worth every penny. Anyone reading this should take my advice if you want a night to remember book Corey at Take The Leap. Thank you Corey for making our night epic and one to remember we could not be more happy with how the night went you are a true master of your craft. Thank you!

married to my cousin and their wedding was the BEST wedding I had ever been to - until my own of course! But I knew that if this guy's own wedding was amazing, his standards for the weddings he DJ's would be just as high) Honestly though, Corey is not just a DJ. He is an organizer, time manager, scheduler, mc, entertainer, public speaker---he is everything you need him to be from the second you meet with him for the first time to the second your cocktail hour starts. Corey is an all-around professional and has so much knowledge and advice to offer, trust me he is your guy! Kody and I have received SO many compliments on our wedding and we owe so much of it to Corey. He is so passionate about making your wedding the most epic party all the while being completely stress-free for you, your spouse and your family. At last I just want to share a little story for some insight into how amazing Corey truly is. In one of our sessions with Corey, we discussed the music and if there was anything special we wanted played, specifically if Kody wanted to do a groomsman set. Kody briefly mentioned how in every one of his family's weddings, some one would alwasy request Dragula and similar requests would follow and his family would just go nuts. Well Kody never actually got around to making an exact groomsman set for Corey to play, but when it came time for our wedding dance, someone did in fact request Dragula. And Corey, remembering that 5 minute discussion several months ago, played it and without hesitation went into a complete set of "heavier" songs for Kody and his family. It's something he pieced together completely on the fly, just because he knew the type of music that Kody normally listened to. So I will say it again, Corey is the only choice when it comes to picking a DJ.

ing your planning process easier. With his unique ideas and skill set, he goes above and beyond to make your wedding day more memorable than you can imagine. He keeps people on the dance floor all night long. Your guests will want to stay longer just to see what he is going to do next. We locked down Corey early in our planning process and we are so grateful that we did. He has and maintains relationships with other wedding vendors that he has worked with in the past. So, if you are having trouble finding caterers, photographers, or even venues, he has your back with a solid recommendation that will match your style. On a personal note: Corey, thank you. Thank you for helping make our wedding unforgettable. We had so many family members and friends come up to us during and after the reception singing your praises. I had high expectations, you blew them out of the water. Thank you again.

us! He was the very first vendor I called after I got engaged! Starting the day we booked him, he was an extremely huge help to us throughout each step of the wedding planning process. He not only gave us advice about the dance, but also advised us on aspects of the whole wedding day—he knows his stuff!!! He reminded us a number of times that he would do his best to make our reception run smoothly so that we didn’t have to stress about any of it. He did so much planning and organizing with us in the months leading up to the wedding that when the wedding day came, we sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed our reception to the fullest! Many of our wedding guests expressed that our reception was the best, most fun, most personable wedding reception they had ever been to—what a huge testimony to the quality of work Corey does! He is a natural and I would recommend him to anyone who wants an awesome wedding reception!

music taste, and hobbies. He took our vision and made it come true. Our reception was one of kind, thanks to Corey. We heard so many compliments from our guests about how entertaining and fun our DJ was. Our dinner & reception was smooth sailing because of him and very entertaining for our guests. Our first dances were perfect and moments we'll remember forever. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night. During our planning sessions, we met and discussed the events we wanted throughout the evening. The garter dance off was the greatest! He is genuine, charismatic, and professional. We are so thrilled with Corey and Take The Leap Entertainment.

e fun and we had fun until the last dance. It will be a night we will never forget.
