Absolute Entertainment

Booking Absolute Entertainment for our wedding was a great choice. We requested a meeting way too late in the process and the DJ recommendations from our friends were already booked. But with Absolute Entertainment, they have a group of highly capable DJ’s to interview. One of the DJ we interviewed and signed with, Adi, was great. Adi went through dozens of songs asking questions in the first meeting to get a feel for our style, nailed down some important songs (cake, processional, mother/​son dances, etc), then did a 15 minute demo mixing on professional equipment in a dedicated room based on the style we had narrowed in on. It was incredibly fast and thorough. We signed immediately. Through the lead up to the wedding he was available for questions, offered musical suggestions when we were stuck, on request did some audio editing to our processional song, and was ready to roll with anything we threw his way. The day of he was setup, professionally dressed, brought an assistant so he was not distracted, did a great job as MC, and our guests loved the music.
Use Absolute Entertainment. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolute Entertainment is the best. Throughout all the mayhem of planning my wedding, they were accommodating and one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with. We had Ken as our DJ and he is fantastic at mixing a wide variety of music genres. It literally felt like we were in a club. Everyone at my wedding reception had a fabulous time!
I also attended a wedding back in March where Jason from Absolute Entertainment was the DJ. Again, the bride, the groom and their guests had a wonderful time because the DJ kept the party going!
Great music. Great party. Awesome DJ. Fantastic service!

Absolute Entertainment did a wonderful job at my daughter’s wedding, my mother who is a very picky person even said how great they were. Everyone was up on the dance floor enjoying the music Ken played. My daughter loves country music and I love dance music, when I went to request some dance/​club music Ken even went to check with my daughter to make sure it was okay with her. We had numerous things go wrong during the wedding but booking this company and Ken was one of the things we can say did not go wrong!

Like Jessica S., we hired JP for our wedding. He was nice and very friendly. He listened to our requests during our meetings and was very opened to suggestions. He also gave us three CDs at the end of our wedding so we could listen to the songs we had selected. We found that to be a very nice touch. However, because he’s very popular, he is hired at a premium (i.e., more expensive than the other DJs from the same company). Our guests told us later that they couldn’t hear anything during the ceremony or during the toasts and the music during the reception was fairly loud. To be fair though, I did realize the music was fairly loud during the reception and upon request, JP turned the volume down a bit so that was nice. Overall, it was a nice experience.

jamie (the salesperson was great) and though gavin would be a good resource for our wedding given our requirements. it turns out gavin gavin has a formula he uses for wedding and was defensive and downright angry when he learned we had other musical interests.
we provided a detailed excel spreadsheet with every song we wanted to hear at the wedding for ceremony, dinner, early dancing and later dancing. gavin followed the list through dinner and then went off list repeatedly after dinner. he cleared the dancefloor every time he went off our list and started with heavy loud music that the older folks hated right after dinner when the older folks should have danced to the big band and gentle music we listed.
not only did gavin go off our list, he could not match a beat to save his life and the speakers kept squealing loudly. he unplugged the tents lights for his equipment and lied about doing it. he also showed up unprepared for the outdoor wedding and needed to change in the off limits house.
we had 3 different people on dj duty as he was very defensive every time we reminded him to stay on the list to told him the speakers sounded terrible.
somehow we still enjoyed the wedding in spite of him.

We had Chris Uhl DJ our Nov. 11^th wedding– seriously, he’s as good as DJs get. He had DJ’d a wedding we attended last year, and we knew we just had to have him at ours (we prepared to be teased that we were sweating our friends’ style :-)
My husband and I have a pretty ecclectic taste in music. We wanted to transition from jazz to modern lounge music at dinner (ala Thievery Corporation), which isn’t really all that common at weddings. We also wanted a DJ who could seamlessly transition from typical Top-​40s to Colombian music while keeping the dance floor packed, given my husband’s many Colombian relatives who were there. I have NEVER been to a wedding where the dance floor remained so packed all night long, and I don’t think I’m being biased. Chris took a lot of time to get a feel for our tastes, and more importantly, took note of what we did NOT want (cheesy slow songs and line dances were a no-​no for us). He also provided some great suggestions, all of which wound up being hits with the crowd.
Chris really kept the party going. He knew just what songs to play, and happened to find a way to interrupt the dancing (for cake cutting, etc) without killing the mood. I can honestly say that none of our friends wanted the night to end– and so many people (friends and family alike) commented that Chris was the best DJ they had ever seen/​heard!
Chris, if you’re reading this, THANK YOU. We are your #1 fans!

Beware of this DJ company. Used them to DJ our wedding in June and posted a subsequent review with a rating of ³⁄₅ stars on wedding wire and a full review of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Overall, we were content with our DJ’s service but there were areas for improvement which we fully discussed on the review. Received an email from the company, not asking to discuss the issues, but telling us we needed to change our score. When we refused to change the score, they disputed the review and had it removed from the website. Makes me wonder how many other negative reviews have been flagged for this company that can do 50 events a weekend, leaving them conveniently with all 5 star ratings from a customer or two per week. My only reason for giving 2 stars is that the DJ service wasn’t completely hopeless… just immature business practices surrounded it.

Booking Absolute Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Chris took my husband and my suggestions for music — probably 200 song options! — and created a dinner + party playlist that absolutely rocked the house. Our guests are still talking about his spinning skills and song choices weeks after the wedding. JP was also amazing to work with and took a lot of time to make sure everything was set and perfect before our wedding day. Truly, this company is a class act and really know their stuff — I would 100% book them again if I had it all to do over again!
