Matthew as a DJ/MC was SUCH a pleasure to work with for our wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards this May! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and considerate of what we wanted. I highly recommend him as a wedding DJ/MC. He was very attentive throughout the whole process, ensuring that we walked through any questions my husband and I had and never feeling like he wasn't just a quick message away from an answer. As far as the wedding at Scribner Bend, he did such a fantastic job keeping the day on the rails! The music was fantastic and the vibes were amazing! Not to mention - the photobooth add-on (and attendant) was so fun and customizable!! Our guests had a blast using it and we highly recommend the add on as well!! Overall, highly recommend Cope Entertainment services if you are looking for a well-structured, stress-free, and fun wedding day! read more

Matthew was amazing! Very easy to work with and a super straightforward process with his website. We got married at High Hill Ranch in placerville. We didn't have a coordinator, Matthew was a blessing and helped the day run smoothly. He played all the music we wanted and kept the party going. Everyone was on the dance floor! Family and friends also gave a lot of compliments about him. 10/10! Thank you Matthew!! read more

We had Cope Entertainment DJ/MC for our wedding in July 2024 at Scribner Bend Vineyards and he was awesome! He definitely brought the vibes on the dance floor and fit the music to our style. I appreciated the many meetings we had beforehand to get a feel for what we wanted and special things to consider for the wedding day. His prices were also reasonable which was a huge plus; some DJs cost 10s of thousands which definitely did not fit our budget. The music and sound system also wasn't too loud or too soft, something I was a bit worried about since we had an outdoor ceremony. My one critique was that the names of our fathers were said incorrect during the reception, which was a bit awkward, but overall, we had a really good experience with Matthew! Would definitely recommend him and his services to other couples. read more

EVERYTHING WENT WELL! I have worked with many DJs for various events being in the party planning business. Matthew with Cope Entertainment DJs and MCs is hand down one of the best. His communication and willingness to assist in anything to help make your wedding the perfect day made him irreplaceable on our special day. Leading up to the big day, Matthew was hands-on and worked closely with my fiance and me to curate the perfect playlist, ensuring every song reflected our vision for our special day. When we were stuck on what songs to play at different parts of the night he stepped in with his expertise to make it less stressful for us. Matthew wore so many hats the day of and did it with grace. He was the DJ, host, lightman, day of coordinator, and guest. Our wedding would not have been the same without Matthew's energy, sense of humor, and professionalism. If you are looking to elevate and take your next event to the next level hire Matthew for your DJ and lighting needs. He transformed our space with his lights and his big personality. You will not regret it! Thank you Matthew for your dedication to what you do. My guest felt loved and danced the night away. I can't wait to have my next even just so I can hire you again. read more

Have had to plan dances at my high school for three years now and this is the FIRST DJ my students actually like!!! My students seriously had an amazing time!!! read more

Cope Entertainment DJs & MCs - DJs Near Me

Everyone I've talked to had a great time! I'm sure CopeEntertainment heard this hundreds of times, but their transitions are seamless and helped make our dream occasion much like a fairytale. A true professional and MC. My family loved how CopeEntertainment knew when to move on from a song that went too long ha. And I love how CopeEntertainment online event planner asked us what songs we wanted to play during certain parts of the occasion! Very specific! Hearing them play at the perfect time made it surreal and whimsical. And the dance lighting was fantastic!!! Absolutely stunning and remarkable. It elevated the occasion to a whole other level. We requested the upgraded lighting package and DJ/MC package. His example video of the lighting was awesome and the final result went above and beyond. Looking forward to recommending CopeEntertainment to friends and requesting their service for future events. read more

Matt's dj skills will bring the energy and he does a good job of taking our input and feeling out the crowd to figure out the right vibe to hit. He helped make our wedding at Le' Reve Estate and Vineyards an amazing success! read more

We got married at Scribner Bend Vineyard 3 weeks ago- Cope Entertainment was one of the preferred vendors for our venue, and we honestly could not have made a better decision. Pre-wedding prep: Aside from our venue coordinator, we probably interacted with Matt the most. He was extremely attentive, and would send us check-in emails to make sure things were moving in the right direction. We also had multiple webcam meetings with Matt to talk through the events of the big day and discuss the flow. Matt provided us with an online portal where we entered in song requests (as well as a do-not-play list). We gave him very broad suggestions (eg genres we liked, artists we enjoyed) and he nailed the playlist. Wedding day: Matt provided our officiant with a lapel mic as well as a handheld mic to hold up to our faces during vows, so we could be hands free. His emcee skills are also amazing- he kept the flow going, kept the energy up, and helped direct the guests after the ceremony. We had requested jazz music during cocktail hour and the playlist was exactly what we envisioned. When cocktail hour was winding down, he made sure to come round us up and give us a heads up for the grand entrance. He then went through the bridal party list to make sure names were pronounced correctly. His energy throughout the event was just amazing. I was especially impressed with his emcee skills during the toasts/speeches- he was so great on the fly, making transitions super smooth. We received several comments from guests afterwards about how terrific he was! We were both extremely happy that we booked Cope Entertainment, and would highly recommend Matt as a wedding DJ/emcee Edit: photo added read more

Cope Entertainment DJs & MCs - Matt in action - DJs Near Me

Matthew was our wedding DJ at Le Reve in Elk Grove, and he was absolutely amazing! He was one of the easiest vendors we worked with, which was no small feat since we were planning our wedding from overseas. My family is Cuban, and my husband's Aussie, so we were a little worried about blending both groups' music tastes to keep everyone on the dance floor. Matthew was so helpful. He encouraged us to be a part of the music selection process, and with his great ear, he mixed and blended different genres, from R&B and reggaeton to country rock, seamlessly. When it came to creating a playlist that was unique to us and everyone loved, he knocked it out of the park. He kept the dance floor packed all night, and everyone complimented the music the following day. In addition to his musical talents, Matthew is also a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer our questions and flexible in accommodating our requests. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! If you're looking for a DJ who will make your wedding day unforgettable, we highly recommend Matthew. read more

Five stars doesn't do Mathew & Cope Entertainment justice! From our first meeting we knew we made the right choice in having Mathew DJ & MC our wedding. Mathew had the perfect balance of listening to our preferences of music, and then building a set with what we chose with similar music that fit mine and my wife's personalities and styles. #1 favorite thing: Mathew does not only want to know a list of songs that you want to hear at your wedding. He spends the time and energy to ask WHY you like those songs/artists. He then uses that information to put together an amazing set. As for the MC side of things, Mathew knew how to keep the wedding moving smoothly while still keeping the mood light and the party going. I'll say it again, you will not be disappointed, Mathew/Cope Entertainment did an AMAZING job. read more

Matthew was the DJ for our wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards at the end of April 2023. To make this simple - BOOK. HIM. NOW! We would give him more stars if we could. Cope Entertainment was on the preferred list provided by our venue and after much research, it was clear to see why. He lives up to his amazing reviews and then some. Matthew was so helpful throughout the planning process with phone and video chats and put any anxieties at ease. He answered all questions quickly and was extremely professional. He helped us figure out which music was important to us and encouraged us to play what WE wanted. I was hesitant to choose our walk out song, as it was a little out of the norm, but he reminded us that this was OUR wedding and encouraged us to do what makes us happy - and the grand entrance turned out even more fun than we could have imagined! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and all our guests had such great things to say the next day. He really took all our suggestions and turned it into the best playlist. Also, the portal is so easy to use and makes planning simple. We used the monogram lighting, which turned out to be the perfect touch in the background, especially for photos. We also booked the photobooth - so much fun and looking at the album we got to take home was hilarious! A great keepsake. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Matthew for your wedding/next big event! Thank you again!! read more

We were very happy to work with Matthew for our wedding at Harmony Ridge Lodge in Nevada City. His system helped us easily choose songs and customize the event. A number of guests also commented on his professionalism. He was friendly and easy-going whenever we had Zoom meetings.

Cope Entertainment DJs & MCs - DJs Near Me

We are so glad we hired Matthew from Cope Entertainment to be our DJ and MC at our wedding! We got married at a beautiful newer venue called Le Rêve Estate in Elk Grove, CA on September 30th 2022. My fiancé and I had no idea what we were doing in terms of planning a wedding but Matthew made the process that much easier by answering all of our questions plus he has an online portal that helped guide us through what we needed for each segment of our wedding. He dressed professionally in a suite and most importantly, kept our whole evening running along smoothly from the reception to our exit. We were able to create a list of songs we liked and Matthew put together a great playlist but also changed up the music during dancing to fit the mood and what others wanted. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to everyone for weddings or any other event you may have! read more

We hired Matthew for our wedding at Haggin Oaks and he did not disappoint!! One of our biggest concerns when hiring a DJ for our wedding was to make sure we hired someone that would actually play the music we requested. We had been to many weddings in the past where the DJ didn't even play the music the bride and groom requested. However, this was not the case with Matthew! We had the best time at our wedding dancing all night and so did our guests, thanks to Matthew. We received many compliments throughout the night on the music. He is very professional and definitely knows what he is doing when it comes to weddings!! He even stepped in when needed when there were some hiccups with our venue coordinator. He made sure everything ran smoothly the entire night and made us feel comfortable/confident. Would highly recommend Cope Entertainment for your next wedding/event 10/10!! read more

After having issues with our initial DJ we were referred to Matt and I'm so glad we went with him as our wedding DJ. He came in and saved the day literally two days before wedding. From the outside ceremony to the inside reception, he made the transition so smooth. He was very friendly and helpful especially to me, the bride, he really helped with timelines and keeping people on the dance floor. He maintained communication with my husband and I throughout our wedding to make sure everything was going perfect. He was a perfect MC and DJ for our wedding night. He will be our go to for any future events, and we will definitely highly recommend him to all our friends and family! read more

Posting for my wife: We got married this past July at Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove and Matthew was our DJ. We really enjoyed the process for music selection - Matthew has this online selection tool where clients can add songs to different categories such as "must play", "do not play", etc. I particularly wanted to play this Chinese song during our cake cutting so to represent a bit of where my family comes from and he found the song for me. He was very supportive of us having the wedding we wanted and we love that about him! Matthew is also great with communication. Perhaps this isn't a quality couples necessarily look for when looking for a DJ, but leading up to the wedding with a lot of loose ends to tie up there is a difference between vendors who take a few business days to respond to emails (still totally understandable) and someone who always gets back to you the day of. You know that feeling where you start to question whether or not to send a follow-up email? With Matthew, we've never once felt like we had to track him down and it gave us peace of mind knowing that he was just a text/phone call away. Find someone who is professional and consistent! We couldn't be happier on our wedding day. Matthew played every single song we asked for. I wasn't aware but my husband later told me that at one point the flower at our table got too close to the candles and was beginning to catch on fire. Matthew noticed it and put it out. So, in a way, he saved our wedding! We can't recommend him enough. read more

Matthew Cope with Cope Entertainment truly exceeded our expectations. He is clearly a professional and did an outstanding job as our wedding DJ. Matthew didn't just crank out tunes on a speaker, he paid attention and did his homework to ensure every detail was accounted for. And when I say detail, I'm talking pronunciation of peoples names, knowing who our vendors were, names of special guests and shout outs, and the list goes on. Matthew made sure that we stayed on schedule without ever seeming pushy or hectic; he has a smooth and charismatic way of working the crowd and directing guests. His humor was spot on and he respected and executed on all of our requests. I would absolutely recommend Cope Entertainment to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ experience. Thank you Cope Entertainment and 2121 Ranch for making our special day so perfect!! read more

Matthew was an excellent DJ! Due to our venue's (Grand Island Mansion) comprehensive packages, we only needed to hire a few key vendors. We're so glad Cope Entertainment was one of them. Matthew was responsive, a helpful emcee and brought the energy out of our guests - a tall order for a morning wedding! read more

Cope Entertainment was a fantastic partner in our wedding journey. Matthew made the process easy (and fun) for us. His website is well-organized and made it simple for my wife and me to plan all DJing/MCing activities. He played all of our favorite songs and made sure our final, private dance was one to remember. We would highly recommend his services for any wedding or party! read more

So professional and kind. Matthew was so amazing to work with, all of our other vendors made a point of letting us know how incredible, flexible and responsive he was. read more

Matt was as good as can be. He has a portal to login to, so you can add music requests whenever something comes to mind. He setup initial meeting and then a follow up to ensure everything was settled and all of our decisions were made. Come wedding day we had absolutely nothing to worry about, everything was so perfect. Entrances and dancing and Mics for speeches along with introductions. We didn't have to think about anything and It was such an amazing time. The photo booth add on also gave our guests some fun pics. Can't recommend enough for your events. read more

We are so glad we chose Cope Entertainment to be our wedding DJ/MC. From the beginning, Matthew was kind, responsive, and professional. During our meetings, he explained everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions. The music selection page was very straightforward to use, and the event planning page essentially served as a ceremony/reception timeline. We also utilized his uplighting services, which added an extra pop to our venue (Pavilion at Haggin Oaks). It goes without saying that he did a wonderful job as DJ/MC on wedding day. Wedding planning is hectic. Hire Cope Entertainment, and you'll have a vendor that you never have to worry about. read more

I have worked many weddings alongside Matt as a Vendor but this last April I had the joy of being a Bridesmaid for a wedding he was the DJ/Emcee for, not just any wedding but my Sister's wedding. It all started in 2020 when she had her full list of vendors and venue booked - then hit the pandemic. Fast forward a few months and 2 new wedding dates later and she had to rebook all of her vendors, unfortunately where she was getting married there weren't many to choose from so I had her reach out to some of the vendors I have worked alongside in Sacramento and see if they would be willing to travel/had the date available. Lucky us Matt Cope with Cope Entertainment had the date free and was willing/excited to travel with us for her wedding! Matt did a phenomenal job keeping the party going, our families could not say enough amazing praises for Matt and his professionalism. Being in the industry I truly have to say that Matt far exceeded my expectations and the many weddings we have worked together after my sister's wedding have proven to be the same praise: incredibly professional, smooth in his transitions and sure to keep the party going. I cannot thank him enough for stepping in to help my sister in a pinch and drive a few hours out of his way, on his own dime, to ensure their wedding was perfect. I am looking forward to a year ahead of working alongside Matt on many more phenomenal weddings. read more

Matthew was our DJ/emcee for our wedding a few weeks ago. He did an outstanding job keeping the party on schedule and alternating between hosting duties and music. Matthew is with you the entire way from when you choose to book him up all the way through your special day. He helps organize everything you need and coordinates well with the rest of your vendors. We couldn't be happier with the job he did and at a very fair price at that! We couldn't recommend him more. read more

Matt did an amazing job at our wedding as the MC and DJ. He was flexible with his schedule and able to execute everything perfectly having only met twice to go over wedding details. My family had a great time and he played all the songs we requested. We even had live music and worked his magic to make things happen. My wife and I had a blast and can't wait to hire him for our future events. read more

Cope Entertainment was a godsend! Made all the transitions smooth and was flexible with all my ever changing requests in the schedule! He even worked with a family friend to mic him up while he sang acoustic. So fun and easy to work with! read more

Matt went above and beyond the entire time we were preparing for the wedding. He spent hours curating multiple playlists for the ceremony and reception that I now get to go back and listen to. He DJed the open dance part of the reception perfectly and allowed for the more unique song choices we had. After the reception, several guests stated it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and that was largely thanks to Matt's services. He kept the night going smoothly and kept us on time as an MC. I highly recommend him for any event. read more

Matthew was our DJ for our wedding this passed weekend at Elegance Banquets in Lodi, CA. He was very organized and professional, he made sure we had everything in order with a timeline he created for us using his online planner! He was the absolute best and had everything flow so perfectly. He provided the best MC and DJ services! Great with last minute changes as well. We could have not chosen a better DJ than him! I am so happy we had him be a part of our special day! If you are thinking about having Matthew be your DJ, do it!!! You will not regret it read more

Thank you to Matthew who made all the big and little details of DJing our wedding a breeze! From the phone calls before the big day, adding songs to our list, to the actual Wedding, he was professional, friendly, communicative and most importantly made the whole experience fun and our party a blast! We highly recommend Cope Entertainment, thank you Matthew! read more

I gave my husband an 80th birthday party with a 1950's theme. I did not know a DJ in the area and no one I knew could recommend one; therefore, I Googled local DJ's and Cope Entertainment came up as specializing in weddings. I figured a DJ that can work with a wedding party full of stressful people was the guy for me. Matt Cope did not disappoint. He was very professional as well as made us feel he'd known us forever. My guests loved him and the music he choose was the best of the era. I highly recommend Matt if you are looking for a great DJ for any occassion!!! read more

During the initial planning of the wedding I said these words: "Why would you pay for dj for a wedding?" Well, I understand now... I was just married last weekend and had Matt from Cope Entertainment as my DJ. Not to sell too hard but a wedding dj is more than a playlist, they are someone who deals with a whole mess of things. They satisfy family, provide necessary distraction, keep the positivity up and they really are, in a sense, a master of ceremonies. Matt was great at all of those things and thats why I am giving him 5 stars. read more

Yes, Matthew is super talented and very personable. Yes, we highly recommend him for weddings. Yes, there were a couple mistakes. The client portal was so easy to use and we gathered a list of 100 songs for our reception, he was even able to find a Filipino song for my father/daughter dance. He recovered well after the confusion when our money dance was suddenly changed to a couples open floor. Unfortunately, he accidentally called my mother-in-law by my father-in-law's name. Other than that, we thoroughly appreciated his services. Especially, when he offered to make an appointment to check out our venue and test shades of uplighting. You definitely want that kind of initiative when it comes to a wedding. I've been to many weddings with technical difficulties and I feel biased to say that ours had the best sound. read more

You know it's a good wedding when the dance floor is packed and Matt delivered! Everyone was dancing and having a great time thanks to his excellent music choices and smooth transitions. He also did a great job mc-ing so I didn't have to worry about a thing and could just sit back and enjoy the night knowing our guests were having a great time. On top of all this, Matt was kind enough to accommodate our friend's live performance for our first dance, which was very meaningful to us. The whole night was perfect thanks to Matt (and Scribner Bend Vineyards). read more

We can't say enough about how much we loved having Cope Entertainment/Matthew as our DJ for our wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi,CA! He made the whole process such a breeze. We had zoom meetings multiple times before our wedding. We spoke about what we needed and what we expected during that day. The portal we were given made adding songs and comments about different parts of the wedding easy. He was incredibly kind and professional. He was probably better about communicating than we were, which is definitely not the case when it comes to other vendors! He worked with us when we wanted specific songs during the ceremony and added personal touches to both the cocktail hour and dinner music. When we say we danced the entire reception, we truly mean it. He navigated the mood of the crowd perfectly. Our day wouldn't have been the same without Matthew and we would recommend him for absolutely anybody! read more

Matthew is so much more than a DJ - he's an emcee, an entertainer and the life of the party. We had such a great time with him at our wedding in September, and would choose him a thousand times over if we could! We picked Cope Entertainment off of Wedding Wire about a year in advance of our big day. My husband is very picky when it comes to music and lighting, but was comfortable when reading through past reviews. We had an introductory call with Matthew and knew right away he was just the DJ we needed. His online tool made planning so simple leading up to the wedding. We were a little difficult when it came to music, with my roots in country, his in oldies and the need for some pop crowd pleasers - but Matthew got it just right. People of all ages were dancing and having a great time. We had folks coming up to us throughout the night to ask who he was and if they could get his card. Everything was timed perfectly, there were no mic issues and he did a beautiful job lighting the space. Matthew also surprised is with lighting a 100+ year-old oak tree, which we had talked about, but decided against. It was such a great add to the atmosphere (see photo!) He also set up and broke down without us ever knowing it was happening. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Matthew was so helpful when it came to creating the ceremony and reception we wanted! We were really unprepared for how to structure our ceremony in particular, and he brought his expertise and skills to help us do that well. He was enthusiastic about all our ideas, getting to know us, and making sure the reception was what we wanted it to be. On the day, he was so responsive to our guests and their requests, and even included my nephew by letting him help with some DJ stuff which he just loved! He really made our reception so much fun and all our guests had a great time. The dance floor was never empty! read more

My family and I had such a positive experience with Matthew. I highly recommend him as your MC. He is detail oriented, warm, professional and a pleasure to have in leading and organizing an event. We feel grateful and truly satisfied with the service that Matthew provided for our family. Our loved ones were impressed with his music organization, pacing and smooth direction. I personally hope to have Matthew lead another special occasion for either myself or my friends and family. Thank you, Matthew, for all your hard work, diligence and dedication! We will recommend you to our loved ones! read more

Matt was such an amazing DJ! He offered so much more than just the music! My husband and I got married in the forest on our family property and he was open to making the drive out there and hanging out until everyone was done dancing! His personality is awesome and he had everyone smiling between the big events of the day! Plus my hubby and I are pretty picky about our music and only like genuine old country so he did an awesome job keeping us in mind first and making sure everyone still had a great time! thanks Matt!!! I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Best dj we could have asked for our wedding. Matthew is outstanding at what he does. He was with us every step of the way and checked in regularly thru the planning phase reminding us of steps we may have forgotten as we did not hire a wedding planner. The day of event he was prompt, pleasant, and on top of it. He kept us not only entertained, but very comfortable throughout the ceremony and reception. Thank you Matthew for a wonderful day! Mike and Kaira read more

The party doesn't stop with DJ Matthew Cope! Let's admit that choosing a DJ can be difficult. Whereas anything else with a wedding, you can look at pictures of flowers, cakes, venues etc. but with a DJ, it could be paying a $1,500 ticket to a concert for a band you've never heard of. So let's take the guessing out of it entirely and enter DJ Matthew Cope. For the super organized bride like myself, his song selection data base system was a dream. It is a web-based system where you can fill out every song on the MUST PLAY as well as the DO NOT play lists and all the details for the day. But don't worry if you're aren't particular as I am because Matthew knows how to read a crowd better than anyone else. Not only does he keep the party going all night with the best music, but he has a "radio voice" that naturally commands a room. He knows how to direct a wedding party and guests to make sure everyone is on time, having fun, and even makes sure the bride doesn't trip in that random crack on the ground. If you want to have the best wedding with an experienced, detailed, professional, DJ Matthew Cope is your best bet. read more
