My husband and I hired Quain (Rockstar DJ) to do our wedding and it was the best decision we made…read more We set our entire playlists to how we wanted them to be played, the specific order and no requests. He followed everything and played every song on a remix to keep the music at a constant flow with no down time. Literally the best DJ in the area/city and would recommend him to anyone. We also requested "make the wedding feel like a club" and he added on lights, speakers, and a display screen with our logo. He did both locations (ceremony and reception) and was on top of everything. Quain is the best and highly recommend him.

We had non traditional first dances and requests, and it was all executed beautifully. It was clear that Jeff truly cared about making our day special, not just about doing the job.

Brian helped every step of the way and was on top of all of it.

We'll be recommending them to anyone who needs an entertainment company in the future. 15/10

He set up on time and provided the microphones for the officiant and readers. He arranged her reception playlist and took requests to get the whole place crazy on the dance floor. So many people complimented us on "the most fun wedding I've been to in a long time." My only "complaint" is when it was time to cut the cake, Brian announced it and then played some great dance music so lots of people ignored the cake!

DJ Anna DJ'd the Holi festival in Chesterfield, MO on March 23, 2019, which I attended with some…read morefriends. 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 met Josh at a wedding expo and were immediately drawn to TKO DJ's after speaking to him. What…read moreimpressed us the most about TKO was their level of professionalism. So many of the other DJ's were insisting we sign up that same day and/or offered DJ services and photo-booth and photography, etc. We like that TKO was not pushy and also focused on doing one thing right...DJ'ing. We met with them at their office prior to our wedding and were again impressed at their level of professionalism. Andrew was the DJ at our wedding and reception and he was AMAZZZING. The processional song ended up running out because my flower girl took too long to walk down the aisle. Andrew was so quick to catch on and seamlessly extended the processional song so that no one would find out. We were requesting many international songs (Persian) to be played at our wedding...Andrew did an AMAZING job with mixing them in with the English songs and at the right times. Our dance floor was crowded ALL NIGHT!!! We were so happy that we decided to go with TKO and we felt incredibly happy with our DJ Andrew. There are many DJ services out there. If you are looking for a DJ who knows what they are doing and will be on time, professional, and fun then TKO is the DJ for you. All the other DJ companies appear to be jack of all trades but master of none. TKO is the master of DJ'ing! They run a professional business and will give you excellent quality service. Thank you TKO for making our wedding fun and memorable!!!

His joyful attitude carried over to the wedding reception vibe we had going. I highly recommend TKO DJs. Also, what I remember about the night was that as the mother of the bride, I had enough time for conversations with guests before the dance music started, unlike some wedding receptions where it seems like I am shouting across a table and have a sore throat the next day. Good job, Drew!

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!

I have been where they have used this DJ service both at wedding receptions and casual events and…read morethe DJ are very nice about taking requests. The music selection is both broad ranged and deep. (They usually have the original version, but if you want a specific remix they can get it with advanced notice) The DJs have the ability to keep all events flowing even when the wedding bouquet gets stuck in the ceiling fan... (I have even seen him have karaoke during a wedding reception) Overall, I trust they have the ability to keep events moving and make 99 percent of the people happy.

We also love that she participated in the group dances as well and it was just a great experience. Dino was our photographer and he was fantastic. Although we were running a bit late to start pictures (that was on me) he was so easy to work with and was very helpful with poses and everything since me and my partner are not photogenic people. He was very efficient and quick when taking pictures and worked well with my nephew kinda doing his own thing as the ring bearer. Thank you for making our wedding a night we will never forget!

Applause Productions was awesome to work with for our Labadie, MO wedding. We were planning to just…read moreuse an iPod to self DJ our DIY wedding, but in the end we broke down and began looking for a DJ a few months before our date. Applause Productions provided ceremony, cocktail/dinner and dancing DJ services (5 hours total and set up two hours before) at a great price. They have an online PayPal payment system which made it easy pay our deposit and then final total. They arrived on time (two hours before our ceremony start time) to set up with sound, lights and a disco ball. Cole, our DJ, was nicely dressed, professional and very friendly to work with. I was able to chat with him about what I wanted and he accommodated our request to play straight from our pre-provided song list, which isn't their norm as they usually go off of a genre/style of your choosing and pick the songs themselves. If you are doing DIY and choosing between iPod playlists versus a DJ, one thing I will say is that the DJ almost acts as a wedding coordinator to make sure the ceremony songs go smoothly and play at the right time and that announcements are made like dinner, last call for food, first dances, cutting the cake, etc. For us this was a huge plus. At the end of the night Cole and his helper even helped us move a few things as we were cleaning up and made sure to ask if we needed anything else, how the day was for us, etc. I would highly recommend Cole and Applause Productions.

We shed a tear every time we watch the highlight reel! Applause was respectful, flexible, responsive, and on top of every detail. I can't thank them enough for what that wonderful team did for us.
