I feel rather bad about dragging my feet for over 2 months to write this review for Ron, especially…read moresince my praise for him is to the ceiling. I hired Ron to bring his karaoke setup to a private residence in April for my best friend's bachelor party, and all I can say is that it was ONE OF THE GREATEST PARTIES I'VE EVER THROWN. Ron was expertly adept at gauging the vibe and energy of all the guys, and the party was electric from pretty much the first song choice. My buddy Matt - the (then) groom-to-be - has, for a long time, been ardently opposed to doing karaoke; and not so much because he didn't like to sing, but more because he's fairly self-conscious and thinks his singing abilities aren't up to snuff. Well, by the end of the night, Matt had but all lost his voice, having easily belted out 10-15 tunes with ever-increasing enthusiasm. Like some sort of musical clairvoyant, Ron seemingly had nearly every song we could think of loaded in the chamber and ready to go, and the blast had by all couldn't miss a beat. The sound and lights setup were absolutely top notch, and he had zero problems quickly hooking up the lyrics to display additionally on the big screen TV, too. His price for doing the private party was extremely reasonable, and if I still lived in St. Louis, I would NO DOUBT be having at least 3-4 By-Ron Entertainment "catered" parties a year. All told, I, and every single one of the guys in attendance, give Ron 5 stars PLUS for helping host what turned out to be one hell of a great night. I STRONGLY recommend having Ron turn your next party into one that won't be soon forgotten.

We had an amazing experience with Porta Party DJs for our wedding! 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.

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.

**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!

I WANT TO SHOUT MY REVIEW FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS (aka: every preview platform possible )…read more Where do I begin?! I cannot say enough wonderful things about PSQ. Something that I really wanted for our brunch reception was a pop quartet. When we decided on having our wedding reception in St. Louis, I was so surprised to find that there was one based there. PSQ's vast song selection and their ability to learn new songs that we requested was a huge bonus for us. So many of our guests commented on how fun the vibe was with them playing. People also loved trying to guess the songs. I wish I had more events to be able to hire them for. If you are looking for a quartet, do not look any further than PSQ!

Certainly one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process for us, it was truly a no brainer. I love string music at weddings but I wanted something a little less traditional than your typical string quartet.

Rebecca was extremely responsive and organized throughout the planning and booking process. Their song list is incredible, they sound amazing, and all of our guests loved them. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Thank you!
