His instrumental performance during our ceremony created the perfect environment, and his live performance during the reception dinner was unique and created the perfect ambiance.

We wanted this event to be an absolute RAGER, i.e. only adults 21+, open bar, taco stand, churros, and of course, dancing the night away! We hired DJ Chris Freeman and he was the absolute BEST for our entertainment. Contacting him was easy and he sent out a quote right away for what we were requesting. After booking him, he answered many questions throughout the planning process which was so appreciated. On the day of the event, he arrived early, set everything up super quickly, and then even offered to help us set up the rest of our event! You can really tell he has years of experience under his belt as a DJ as throughout the night, he knew exactly what songs to play as people were eating, and seamlessly transitioned into getting the party started after we took our group tequila shot consisting of 130 people! From then on, the night was absolute LIT!!!! See photos (they are so blurry but that just means you KNOW we had a good time). If you need a DJ (for ANY event) who brings good vibes, and knows how to start and keep the party going, book Freeman ENT! Thanks for everything, Chris!!!!

If I could give DJ Abel 100 stars, I genuinely would…read more DJ Abel quite literally SAVED our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with him to the very last song of the night, he made us feel seen, cared for, and like our wedding was just as important to him as it was to us. We actually booked Abel as our very first vendor because we had seen him DJ my mom's retirement party, and we knew immediately that he was someone we wanted to be part of our wedding day. After working with him, I can confidently say we made one of the best decisions of our entire wedding. Abel showed up early, set up flawlessly at a venue he had never worked at before, and immediately connected with our coordinator and the entire venue team. He was professional, warm, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. Every call leading up to our wedding made us feel reassured that we were in the best hands. But what truly sets Abel apart is that he understands that the day belongs to the couple. He never made the wedding about himself. He listened to what we wanted, played every single one of our must-plays, was perfectly on time for every cue, and somehow made everything feel effortless. And his transitions? SMOOTH AF. He also surprised us with little touches throughout the night that we weren't expecting, and those moments made us feel so incredibly loved. He didn't just show up and play music. He paid attention to us, our personalities, our guests, and the experience we wanted to create. His setup and overall presence made the entire reception feel absolutely magical. And then came the moment that truly showed us who Abel is. Our city experienced a massive power outage during our wedding. The power was out for an ENTIRE HOUR. Most people would have understandably been scrambling, waiting for the venue to figure things out. Not Abel. Abel RAN to his car, got his own backup generator, and did everything he could to keep our party going. Because of him, our wedding did not come to a standstill. He kept the energy alive, kept our guests engaged, and made sure our celebration continued. He went completely above and beyond. Not because he had to, but because he genuinely cared about us having the wedding we had dreamed of. And that is exactly who Abel is. He greeted me on our wedding day with a hug like we had known each other for years. He made us feel like family. He was an incredible DJ, an amazing MC, and honestly, the heart of our reception. He knew exactly when to hype the crowd, when to let a moment breathe, and how to keep the energy going all night long. Our guests are STILL talking about how amazing the music and energy were. If you're looking for a DJ who will simply show up, play music, and leave? That's not Abel. If you're looking for someone who will listen to you, protect your vision, take ownership of your experience, make your wedding feel personal, keep your guests on the dance floor, execute every cue flawlessly, and go above and beyond when things don't go according to plan... BOOK ABEL. We will forever be grateful that he was part of our wedding day. We didn't just get an incredible DJ. We got someone who genuinely cared about us. Abel, thank you for making our wedding feel magical, for keeping our party alive when the entire city lost power, and for making us feel so loved from beginning to end. We will never forget it.

They even prompted me as to when I needed to thank everyone, kept me on track with timelines, and really made me and my husband feel SUPER SPECIAL!

Surprised to see Melody sing such a great Selena song! :) Can't wait to have them perform at our wedding this summer!

We started talking with Erik about logistics over email and then when it came closer we ended up meeting with Chris the band leader for dinner. He got to know us and our music preferences, but we gave them total creative control of the event. We chose the classic songs, but they took care of the rest. They are so professional, they do this weekend after weekend. Trust them! We did not worry about a thing and the whole crowd was moving. Our wedding was early September 2017 and we are still hearing our guests rave about them. We have even had other friends ask for their contact info who are getting married in the future. They performed a Louis Armstrong song that everyone thought was recorded. But it was LIVE. The cocktail hour keyboardist/pianist was great too. We went with a 9 piece band plus cocktail at La Valencia hotel and have no regrets. Everyone had a private concert at our wedding and LOVED Calphonics. Trust them and hire them! We love them and will hire them again if we host another party or event! We will also recommend them to all of of our friends getting married or in need of an awesome band!

When I…read morefound out that they donate a portion to 3rd world music programs and donate playing time to different organizations, it swayed me to contact them. While watching my wedding video I thought that the videographer had used a CD because the sound quality was exceptional. They showed up early and prepared to my client consultation meeting and the day of my wedding. I wanted my wedding vendors to match the style of my wedding, and they showed up looking classy, professional, and youthful. (Unlike most white hired aged string ensembles). As my situation continued to change and develop they were sweet, flexible and extremely accommodating. They were willing to travel to my out of the way location.. I asked for several non-traditional pieces and they took the time to arrange the songs to fit for my wedding entrance and exit. Pricing wise, they gave me the best deal I could find, and I loved how they opened the door for negotiating the price down stating "We want to fit with your budget needs." I highly recommend Sensational Strings for their music services. Having just graduated with my MBA, I was impressed with their business setup, pricing, marketing availability, and cooperation with our needs. These ladies knocked it out of the ball park through their quality sound in performance, excellent customer intimacy, and their focus for a better world through music.
