Will was our DJ and he made our…read moreday the fun celebration we were hoping for During the lead up to the wedding Will was helpful with making sure we had all of our important songs picked out - their online planning forms made it so simple. We switched our ceremony to be inside instead of outside the morning of the wedding and he was super flexible and made it work with no problems. Will coordinated with my brother who played the saxophone during our first dance which made that moment extra special! Our dance floor was packed all night, and he did a great job of feeling out what types of songs would keep the dance floor going. He did the perfect balance of emceeing key moments but for the most part letting the music do the talking. We would recommend Porta Party DJs and Will to anyone needing a DJ for their event!

His song selection matched our vibe and tastes perfectly! He even made sure the song we wanted for our recession was included even though he said it might be difficult to do and it was PERFECT! That is a moment I personally will never forget. He was so nice and so much fun to work with and he honestly made it super easy and stress free for us. Many of our guests commented on how good he was as well. I danced the night away because of all the songs he played that I asked for and some he chose for us but they were perfect. Our friends said it was easy to make requests and it sounds like he played all the songs people requested. He even got out on the dance floor and interacted with us! Andy gave us the EXACT experience we were hoping to have when we decided to hire a DJ for our wedding and we would use him again in a heartbeat! We've also already recommended your company and Andy to others and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for matching us up with him!! He made our special day absolutely perfect musically. We appreciate him so much. It was truly unforgettable.

We used this company for our high school's prom for the last two years. The first year, the DJ…read moredidn't have any of our music downloaded and couldn't connect to the venue's wifi, so he didn't play anything that we wanted (and couldn't accommodate requests... but he asked for them anyway). What happened this year is reprehensible. During our dance, this DJ asked multiple high school-age girls for their phone numbers. He showed up to a kid's house party after the dance ended. That night, some students found a bio online that he had written saying proms were his favorite events to work, but, in our call weeks before, he told me that this was his first prom. This detail has now been removed. We reported this incident to Millennium Productions. Their excuse for a solution is to restrict this DJ from working proms in the future. We are extremely disappointed in the company's failure to fully hold its employees accountable for inexcusable predatory behavior. Do not work with them.

We felt we were very organized and direct in what we…read morewanted and including following their website details, plus a detailed list of songs & specific request. However, our confidence dropped after emails were delayed in being answered and not taken seriously. Wrong song was played for the processional, music we did not request, music we did request was not played after working on it for over 6 hours and giving the dj plenty of specific songs. DJ had to be reminded about the Father of the bride dance, he forgot the wedding party dance, and had never heard of the song "celebrate". After being charged another extra $100, we were totally dissatisfied when the DJ totally FORGOT and didn't do the dollar dance; not because of the money, but because of the time we wanted to spend with individuals and picture opportunities. Customer service very lacking - for an area only 60 miles south of St. Louis & the cost; we feel we definitely did not get our money's worth. Could have had a 5 piece band with better entertainment. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED - DJ needs to remember people remember the music and fun times - look elsewhere for more professionalism & someone who can keep up with personal requests.

He met with us several times to ensure that he knew us as a couple, the type of wedding party and guests we would have, and the genres of music we wanted to hear.

DeAndre got our party started as soon as the wedding party arrived, approached us with such a positive energy and kept it going until closing time! Our favorite memory of the night was dancing with our family and friends, and we have DeAndre to thank for that! We have heard nothing but raving reviews from our guests about the the music and energy of our DJ! We highly recommend DeAndre for any event!

I love going out to sing karaoke, or even listen. It's way more fun when you have someone managing…read morewhat is going on. For years Shaggy was at Cotters, which was our dive of choice, not under new managment.. well lets just say it sucks, due to new managment and new karaoke company. I'm excited that Shaggy will now be at Melvin's Brewing in Eureka MO every Wednesday from 6-9pm.. those are hours I can get behind!! Shaggy is also available to hire for private events.

**Main location - Cotter's Sports Bar & Karaoke Lounge**…read more There are several factors involved in good public-forum karaoke: 1) Large and diverse music selection 2) Great sound system 3) Logical order of singers (no random cuts, no skipping, no forgetting) 4) Focus on karaoke (low downtime between singers, low filler songs) 5) Solid stage set-up 6) Energetic crowd and singers 7) X-Factors (day of the week, event type, etc.) Of these factors, the Karaoke DJ (aka KJ) has a direct control over numbers 1-4. The others are frankly the product of location, marketing, and hype. The best part about Shaggy Sounds is that no matter what location (my favorite is Cotter's), no matter what type of crowd, no matter how energetic or mellow of a night it is, you are guaranteed a fantastic experience with those things directly in the KJ's control: Massive library of music? CHECK. The biggest books of anyone and that's literally LESS THAN HALF of the songs. Don't see a song you want to sing in the book? Just go up and ask and there is a good chance it's in the computer system. Shaggy is very accommodating and willing to search through his library. Don't be shy! Great sound system? CHECK. Depending on the bar's vibe, the karaoke can be front-and-center (which is the case with all the locations Shaggy hosts at) or background filler (*cough* Double D's *cough*). If you like bars where karaoke is background noise, maybe Shaggy-hosted events aren't for you. But if you like to actually sing and listen to others sing, you'll love it! High-quality speakers, high-quality mics, solid sound checks to balance volumes and make adjustments from singer to singer if needed... you get the picture. Logical order of singers? CHECK. The most annoying thing (at least for me) that can happen at karaoke is watching an unorganized KJ forget the order, lose song selections, and randomly let people skip in the order because of connections/friendship. This is not an issue with Shaggy KJs as their song-selection set-up is done on computer. They enter in your name with a song title within the order, and that's your placement in the rotation for the rest of the night. No shuffling of little pieces of paper, no losing them to the floor, no priority passing (unless you tip, which of course make sense and I would never fault a KJ for letting someone jump in line in those situations...you gotta make that money). Focus on karaoke? CHECK CHECK CHECK. Shaggy events are all about having fun singing. Songs are literally back-to-back as they are totally focused and not dilly-dallying. The only time you hear filler songs is if there aren't that many singers and sign-ups, and it's usually only at the beginning of the night. If there are a lot of sign-ups, there won't even be filler songs at the end of the rotation. It will be straight into the next round. True end-to-end karaoke! There are a lot of options for karaoke in St. Louis. You'd be remiss if you didn't try one of Shaggy's weekly nights. Go and have fun!

Also known as the Festival of Colors, Holi is a celebration of the arrival of spring and includes throwing color, dancing and food. I had never been to one of these color festivals before and I was so happy I went! What an experience! It was so much fun throwing color on each other and dancing to great music. DJ Anna really kept the crowd dancing and jumping around the entire time - it was very high energy and just the best time ever! She would also countdown for everyone to throw color in the air and was very interactive with the crowd and was instrumental in making the event as much fun as it was. I highly recommend her!

We had a good time playing pool and there was a male bartender making our first drinks that was very friendly and conversational. The female bartender made our second round of drinks and was more standoffish as if we didn't fit the "dive bar scene" since we were dressed up a bit. We enjoyed a couple rounds of pool and watching the World Cup game then we left before karaoke was about to start. Bar itself has plenty of seating and nice lighting for the bottles. After learning the story about the owner and the bar, I'm very happy this place is still open but I don't think we'll be back.

We visited The Fireplace Bar for Friday night karaoke. This is a dive bar, in a good way. There are…read morepool tables and darts. It was very loud when we visited, not because of the karaoke, so it was a bit difficult to speak with the bartenders. I guess people were having a good time! There are lots of drink choices at reasonable prices. There is also food, which I didn't try. For the karaoke, you go up to the KJ get into the queue, and then add your songs across the evening for each of your turns. There was quite a variety being sung. You sing in front of the fireplace. There is a little bit of room to dance around the edges but not much. Despite being a "nonsmoking" bar, there were patrons vaping indoors and there was a cigarette smell inside (perhaps wafting in from the smokers outside?). The ladies bathroom was very clean. There is free parking outside in their attached lot, but you might have to get creative if you get there later in the night, as the lot gets crowded. This bar has a fun vibe for your friend group to go blow off some steam, but probably not a good place to take a first date.
