    If you're looking for an amazing, professional, and fun DJ I highly recommend DJMusic…read moreEntertainment! Edvin is extremely professional and did a consultation with me and my fiancé for our wedding night. We sat down and talked about what kind of music we wanted and explained his services in detailed. He did our ceremony AND reception, with the slide show and uplights which I encourage you to get for your venue because it adds to the party. Edvin hyped our wedding and played all the good songs that kept the crowd dancing. Comments from our friends and family were nothing but good things about the DJ, the music, the lighting, EVERYTHING! Thank you so much for making our night fun and memorable! I will definitely use your services again in the future.

    As a couple who deeply cherishes music we could not have been more disappointed in the services we…read morereceived from DJ Music Entertainment. Prior to our event that occurred on 9/6/26 we had great communication with Edvin, the owner. On our wedding day Edvin did not attend our event; another DJ was sent in his place. I was not notified of this change and was unable to speak to the DJ about our expectations prior to our event beginning. As cocktail hour began there was supposed to be a speaker placed outside included in our package, this did not occur and we had no music in the cocktail hour space and people outside were not able to hear any announcements from what was occurring inside the venue. I, the bride, asked her where the speaker was outside and she informed me she did not have a speaker outside. As dinner service began we informed her she could start calling tables. After calling a few tables she began playing on her phone to where no guests were being called for dinner, or in line, and my husband had to notify her to continue calling more tables. While eating dinner break up ballads were being played, "such as dancing on my own". My coordinator informed her that we did not want to listen to sad breakup songs and her response was "that was dinner music". As the reception began the first few songs were not our expected vibe at all. After a couple of 70's cheesy pop wedding songs we went over to her and asked if she had our information about playlists and the vibe we were going for. She stated that she did. Afterwards a few songs were played of our vibe. We had previously sent a 20 song playlist to Edvin for our event, and he requested to know what style we would like. There were probably only 5 songs played from this list. Throughout the night I had to request songs, inform her to skip songs that she had already played multiple times like "Get Low" and other songs of that genre. They did not play the vast majority of country songs we requested and only played neon moon which we did not even request or want played. We also purchased the platinum package from edvin which included two enhancements. The two that we decided on were an extra speaker and a bubble machine for our exit. We received neither of these enhancements and were not offered any other items to replace the enhancement. After our event I reached out to Edvin to hope he was doing okay as he did not attend our event and inform him of the issues that we had. Edvin basically stated sorry but there was not really anything he could do and offered us $50 after I informed him I expected a refund for the enhancements we did not receive. I am concerned that moving forward Edvin will not address these issues for couples and they will have the exact experience we had. My husband and I spent the entire night micromanaging the DJ because she was not properly informed of the expectations of our event that we did not even dance with each other other than our first dance and the very last song. Our guests enjoyed themselves because we have extraordinary friends who celebrate all of life's moments with us even when they do not meet expectations. We are extremely grateful that the rest of our vendors and day was absolutely extraordinary but DJ Edvin's services left a bad stain of a lackluster experience that could have easily been avoided and alleviated had more communication occurred. I would honestly provide even more detail of this incident if I had the space to.

    I generally don't write reviews but for Johnell I think she definitely needs an appreciation!…read more We reached out to Johnell for my 3 year old's birthday party recently. We hardly had two weeks for the event day and Johnell worked day and night to get everything planned and coordinated according to the theme of the party. She provided great suggestions like the claw machine, face painting and a magician. It was tough to get a magician in that short time period but she did her magic to find the best one for the event and it was great! All our 50+ guests who attended the party raved about how well the planning and coordination was done for a 3 year old's birthday. It wouldn't have happened without her! She also helped with my baby shower back in early 2020 when Covid didn't hit us yet. My husband worked with her to throw me a baby shower and it was amazingly done. That baby shower event has made us reach out to her again because we knew she will do an excellent job and can trust her because she puts her heart in every event that she takes up. Thank you so much Johnell for all the efforts and an outstanding work even with such short time that you had.

    I write this in case it's helpful for others. I sincerely wish I'd have known what I was getting…read moreinto before I entered into a contract with Johnell. If you're not inclined to read the entirety of this lengthy review, I sum my experience up in the last two paragraphs. My wedding was only 1.5 months away. I chose the full package option. As a full-time professional & graduate student, the idea of a wedding planner sounded like heaven. Her reviews were phenomenal. I thought we'd get timelines, help with our vision, several vendor options with differing price points. Instead we got snarky eye rolls when we'd ask about details, sarcastic jokes about us needing to book marriage counseling, disinterest in getting us what we actually wanted, and extremely abbreviated access to her at her convenience. Honestly, it was devastating. The most stressful part of our wedding planning became my interactions, and oftentimes lack of interactions, with Johnell. Price points and vision would continuously get lost in translation. The pattern: Time would pass despite our requests for input on selecting vendors (for example, 3 weeks for florals) and then we'd get an almost finalized contract from a single vendor we hadn't vetted. In the case of florals, at a price of $11K when we'd explained our floral budget was $3K. She was extremely dismissive. Even requests for a quick 15 minute check in call could go ignored. Her preference most of the time was to send emails during peak work hours. And her emails, most times, left things unclear. We explained several times that a weekly 15 minute call was what we needed. But she was extremely resistant. We had, at max, 2 to 3 such calls and then she refused to participate in any others. It was maddening with our 6 week timeline as we felt like our hands were tied about really understanding the status of and options for things. My fiancé and I defaulted to doing the legwork ourselves. When we did, vendors were LOVELY. Bending over backwards to assist us. Supplying us with multiple options and ideas. They took the time to hear us and ask about what we did and didn't want for our day. I was overwhelmingly grateful for their support and availability. I was stunned when Johnell sent an angry email chastising my fiancé for calling a vendor. She reminded us that we'd have to pay her even if we were doing the work. I reiterated to her that this had nothing to do with payment. We'd started doing the work ourselves because we felt handcuffed and limited w/ her at the helm. Over and over we'd discover her "no, that's not possible" would become "sure, we can do that, and here are several other options too" once we'd finally talk to a vendor. The most important thing for me: the wedding to have our unique imprint and flair- were in direct odds with Johnell's priorities. Her priority was the path of least resistance, what's easiest & most convenient for her. Things came together beautifully. But it really was in spite of and not because of our planner. With the vast majority of vendors, we elected to go with others that we'd vetted. This brought on its own drama as we then witnessed Johnell being cold and dismissive with these individuals when they'd attempt to ask questions or share options. I made several attempts to explain to her how poorly we felt we were being treated - via several emails and voicemail when she wouldn't answer or return my call. She would eventually respond in an email days later with a dismissive, "everything will be fine" one-liner. The last straw was her denying us a 15 minute phone call the week of the wedding. Four days after we requested the brief call with her, she emailed, "No, I've done my job already. See you at the wedding on Saturday. Email me a list if there's changes." This transpired despite her contracted description of "unlimited phone calls and emails" and us only having had at most three direct phone calls with her. At that point, we decided to cut ties with her completely. It was an extremely high sunk cost. One that benefitted her (she was paid in full despite not working the week of or day of the wedding) & would cost us greatly. It was worth it though as the thought of this, in our experience, truly unprofessional coordinator running our special day was too disheartening. In sum, I felt trapped in this working relationship. I wound up having to expend more time and energy on fixing things vs had I not had a planner to begin with. All the while being made to feel like a huge annoyance during the brief times when we would have access to her. Her communication style is one tailored to meet her needs and convenience rather than the client's. In hindsight, I never should have hired her. It was the poorest decision of my wedding planning process.
