I have never posted a review before, but Keith left such a bad taste in our mouths that I felt like…read moreI had to share our experience. The contracted DJ, photographer, and videographer all hired by KCE did a fantastic job on the night of our wedding. Afterwards, however, the process of getting the video and photos from Keith has prompted me to leave a 1-star review. When meeting with Keith in person for our initial consultation, it seemed like he truly knew the ins and outs of the wedding entertainment business. His professional communication and customer service skills, however, were horrendous. Every time we reached our to Keith regarding our photos or video he would respond with "I will check and get back to you tomorrow". He never kept on his word and we would ALWAYS have to reach back out to him to follow up. The response to our follow up emails would often be more excuses, lies, and empty promises. All of this terrible communication left my wife stressed and worried that maybe something happened to the items we paid for and potentially would not get them. We were very excited to use Keith Christopher Entertainment as he came highly recommended from a family member that is in the wedding industry. After our experience, she will no longer be recommending this company and will be sharing our experience with her colleagues as well. Looking back at the reviews for this company, it seems like this company has gone downhill since 2014. In the end, we did get what we paid for, but I can confidently say that it was only in a timely manner because I was persistent in contacting him and eventually brought a lawyer into the conversation. We are happy to have our photos and videos and be done with the Keith Christopher Entertainment group, but we are sharing our experience because no couple should have to go through such a stressful and upsetting experience especially during what is supposed to be such a happy time in your life. Sorry for the long post, but I feel like people should know the experience we had.

I can't express how satisfied I am with Keith Christopher Entertainment. Let me tell you putting…read more together a company party is not as easy as it sounds especially when I had so many different ages and genre's to please. I really appreciate Deana for helping me out with my music selection asks opening up my variety of music. Otherwise we would have probably be jamming to Tiesto or David Guetta if it was up to me. Thank you also for having patients with my crazy schedule l. I really never thought of the little things and if you guys didn't ask if I needed all the extras I would have left out a lot. You guys are definitely the one stop shop for music and entertainment. I know I kept adding things to my contract and making changes but Deana pulled through 110%. The night of we all had a blast everyone was dancing I have all the pictures from the photo booth that I am hoping to have posted on my Facebook along with pictures of the event. I felt like I was at a concert with the quality of the system and lighting. Thank you !!!!! I can't express how much fun we had and I swear my feet hurt for days! Great service, amazing people and over all LOVED THE EXPERIENCE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Ps I will be calling you to book our Xmas event soon!

He…read morewas great with getting as many details as possible to keep the reception on track and accurate. He came early to ensure everything was set up perfectly. He kept everyone on track with the timeline even when we were not ready or very organized about it. I am Indian and we have hard names to pronounce. He absolutely nailed it all without skipping a beat. He went along with some of our crazy requests. He took charge of things that I had not planned for. Everyone told me that the Dj was awesome and they were having a blast the whole time. He really cares about making the event exactly how people want them. I Highly recommend Dj Derek and Extreme Sounds Entertainment and Lighting

As a drummer the way the drums sound in the room is extremely important and I can tell that Brad, the owner as a fellow drummer, knows the importance that that offers a record.

Rich and John thank you for all your hard work! You have a great company and I was VERY pleased…read morewith your service!! John was very pleasant, up-lighting and truss system were AMAZING; a total wedding must! They even stayed 30min pass 12 for my guests who still wanted to DANCE!! We packed the floor all night long! I feel that my feedback & comment sections for the company survey really encompasses what others should know about the service rendered and the company as a whole. I added a little here and there to make it more complete and voice some of my personal preferences and explanations for some dislikes. 1) Quality of Customer Service before your wedding? (initial meeting, phone and Internet communication) They were Excellent; they were very attentive to the details of my vision, they met with us at our chosen location, instead of making us drive to downers. Huge plus since we lived in the city and had 4 other wedding vendor appointments that day!! 2) Friendliness/Promptness/Appearance of your DJ? (DJ John) Excellent! My wedding was more formal and my DJ had a tux/suit and his assistant was presentable as well. John was very nice and always had a smile on his face, even when reminding me that we deviating from our timeline. ( we had a few hiccups in our day..) 3) Your DJs overall performance? (Professionalism, Music selection,Cooperation, etc.) Good :D. I would have said excellent, but John did not play some really important songs requested by me for my family/culture :( I strongly believe that this may have been a direct result because the music selection was not All English. However, we did let Rich and John know what genre/styles of music and special cultural dance music we wanted. It just came down to getting the music file itself. Further, we would have liked the DJ to follow up with us before the week of the wedding, when we were occupied everyday with wedding appointments. Had we met sooner we could have potentially avoided the music selection miscommunication ( did not play important songs or confused the meaning of a song e.g. La Vibora de la Mar, El Muerto and no Rancheras..etc.). When everything is top priority, often enough people don't react, remember, or re-prioritize tasks until its made known that you may run out of time.. We were so Stressed that we never felt like we had any time to do anything.. everything was a priority and had to be done right away. My husband and I tried to load the songs onto the website and sometimes we'd make it all the way to the bottom and it turned out that it didn't save! Needless to say ,since we were under a severe time crunch, due to the short engagement (6mo from "yes" to "I do"), we got to as much as we could done on the website and moved on... It would have been nicer had the site been more user-friendly or if the DJ's could get some of the work out of the way based on genre input we had initially given them and only left us to tweak up the details. For example. it would have been nice, if I did not feel like I had to pick every song I wanted played at my wedding. I know they meant well, by trying to assure that they played all of our favorite songs when we were in the room; I just felt that the level of detail they wanted from us was too much ( this is a general statement for some of the industry vendors). I know a lot of the things i just mentioned sound harsh, but since they deal with weddings, they should expect chaos and rushed schedules and should plan to follow up or aid more. Still was very happy with the service, and had I been able to clone myself 4Xs it would have not been a problem, but since that was not the case.. I could have used a little more sanity when planning the wedding and less demand from all the vendors to micromanage the job. 4) Sound and lighting equipment - sound quality, sound system appearance, lighting effects appearance. Excellent! They had great lighting effects. I would have liked a little more, but the effect was great anyways and everyone liked it! There was rain during the lighting setup so it was decided that no out outdoor lighting could be set up - I was really sad to have not been able to complete my vision because the rain stopped just before guests were to arrive and after the setup had left :'( ! 5) Overall performance rating of our services? I still say Excellent, because they were really nice and tried really HARD to make everything wonderful. My guests were very pleased and no one knew about these little details, except me and you now. 6) Is there anything we can improve upon? Communication with the future bride and groom, more flexible hours to plan the event ahead of time. Make every attempt to fully understand bride and groom's requests and deliver on them. Follow-up more frequently, unless requested not to and try to minimize the work a couple has to do to have good music and setup. 7) Would you recommend our service to others? I highly recommend Essence Entertainment :D !!

We couldn't have been happier with Spinnin' Discs! They DJ'd our wedding in Chicago last month…read more Starting with the intro call with Ron, they were super friendly and easy to work with. They had helpful organizational tools leading up to the event that kept us on track with which songs we needed and gave us an easy place to log them. We had a prep call with our DJ, Chris, who asked us questions about our musical taste, level of DJ interaction we wanted at the wedding, etc. And on the day-of, he delivered: the dance floor was packed and everyone had a fantastic time. My biggest fear in hiring a DJ is that they would be cheesy, or not be able to read the room, and Chris was neither of those things. He knew his stuff and what we wanted, and was a valuable addition to our day. I would highly recommend Spinnin' Discs (and Chris in particular!) to anyone planning a wedding!

Spinnin Discs is a great DJ choice for a good value. I hired them for my wedding in March. They…read moremake sure that you vibe well with your DJ and meet him before hand. Spinnin Discs did both my ceremony music and the reception - so they assigned us 2 DJs for the entire day. We worked with Anthony and he was great. They make it really easy for you to select songs on their website - listing out all the specific portions of the ceremony processional and reception that you need to select songs for. The need to select a list of songs for cocktail hour, dinner, etc. was a little overwhelming for me - I would have preferred if they would have gotten an idea of what kind of music we liked and went with that. Overall, I think the DJs did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor. I loved when he threw in some old school Blink 182 for everyone to dance to. My only complaint is that he played all of my "Must Plays" in a row more toward the end of the night instead of spreading them out. I also like that they do a good job of coordinating and practicing with you for introductions to make sure they get all the names pronounced right.
