If you are looking for a DJ, do yourself a favor and contact This Is It... you will be so glad you did! We cannot more highly recommend them. We had done extensive research before booking a meeting and so we were already fairly confident we wanted to work with them, but to us, the in person meeting would make or break the deal. This was the only DJ company we ended up meeting with because we immediately knew that this was the DJ company we wanted to for our wedding. I even canceled another appointment we had with another company a few days later. The personality and vibe we got from our vendors was extremely important to my husband and I and as soon as we met with JP, we knew we didn't need to look any further because we already felt like old friends. Going to the studio felt more like going to a friend's house... with couches and really great sound systems. Every time we were there, people were always hanging out. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be at their studio, you can tell they all really love what they do... and who can blame them, it looks like so much fun! I wanted to come back and hang out with them as well JP did the lighting for our wedding, Davey was the MC, and Mikey was the DJ and all three were fantastic! We met with each of them separately leading up to the wedding and I felt like I could have been friends with any one of them. Actually, it turned out that Davey actually knew a few of our groomsmen from high school. Leading up to the wedding, they were all easy to work with, flexible, professional, and extremely organized. I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing. The night of the wedding was a blast! As the bride... I felt like the whole night was a blur and flew by in the blink of an eye... and at the end of the night I even complained to my maid of honor that there wasn't much dancing at my wedding... she then looked at me like I was crazy and told me that she typically never leaves the dance floor at weddings, but she actually had to go take a break at mine because she was dancing so much and having so much fun. If you are looking for fun, personable, talented, and professional DJ company, This Is It is your DJ! Thanks for everything guys! read more

My wife and I were very particular when we began our search for our wedding entertainment and we could not have been happier with the service that we got from This Is It Entertainment. From the moment we first met James, we had a feeling that it was the right choice. The entire staff was so immensely hospitable in helping us down the path of designing our package and our expectations for the big day. They helped to ease how overwhelmed we felt when tasked with deciding how each moment of the reception would pan out, from the introduction songs, to the timing of the speeches, to the last dances. Our MC, David, was really incredible and I mean that to the fullest extent of the word. He was so good at making a crowd of 150 people feel comfortable and welcome, which really made a huge difference to my wife and I as we simply wanted everyone to enjoy themselves at our reception, as all couples do. He helped to keep the whole crowd feeling involved, and the pacing of the reception was spot on. James was our DJ, and he made us feel like every dollar was well spent. We specifically predicated our search based on our desire to have a DJ who can mash up songs to keep the energy high. We've been to weddings before where a song finishes and the music just stops, everyone waits for 3-5 seconds, and it drove us crazy. James is a master of seamlessly transitioning from one song to another, through different genres, and increasing the beats per minute. He had my 92 year old grandmother dancing for 2 hours, and I have literally never seen her dance in my entire life. We were concerned for her health at a certain point, it was kind of jarring. Finally, the forgotten hero of the night, the lighting that This Is It brought with them was outstanding and without it, the event would not have been so spectacular. I cannot understate how much of a difference the lighting made to cement the atmosphere during our reception. This Is It are professionals through and through, they made my wedding day spectacular, and I can't recommend them enough. read more

My wife and I had a great experience with This Is It Entertainment. We felt right at home from the start as the organization took the time to schedule a consultation to better understand us as a couple before even discussing music, logistics, and miscellaneous details. Not only were they timely with responses, but their true character stood out when our original wedding date was postponed due to COVID-19. This Is It was over-the-top accommodating to the situation and made us feel at ease during a stressful time. This Is It scheduled various meeting with us and the DJ/MC in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding. These meetings gave us all a chance to align with music selection and wedding logistics. James Schumacher (aka Jimmy Shoez) covered every aspect of what was needed while making it fun. Jimmy nailed every detail of the wedding MC role - you can tell he had prepared accordingly and followed through on every feature we requested for our special day. He brought an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm. Our DJ, Dan Tranquil, was the musical magician behind the scenes. Before the wedding, he gave us a better understanding of how songs transitioned during the first dances and whatnot - really giving us a technical perspective of how it all comes together. We only pre-requested a few songs going into the wedding, and let Dan and Jimmy do the rest. Due to their work, the majority of the wedding was on the dance floor throughout the entirety of the wedding ranging from 4 years of age to 84. It's been weeks since our reception and we keep hearing comments on how amazing the music was from our friends and family. If you are seeking out vendors for your wedding, my recommendation is to book This Is It Entertainment first - requesting Jimmy and Dan. The experience we had with them goes unmatched. We will forever look back on our special day with a ton of gratitude for the time, effort and skill this group put forth for us - thanks for everything! read more

We all know the DJ makes the party and let me tell you, we could not have asked for a better DJ, MC and Lighting Specialist than This Is It Entertainment. James, Andrew and JP were incredible. I will say it again, incredible. My wife and I are sticklers over our music and we have been to weddings where it is great and where it is pretty bad. To use the word fantastic for these guys and this company would be an understatement. James and his company are professional, easy to work with, always available and most importantly, provided the most amazing DJ experience we have ever experienced at any wedding. We gave James a list of our music, so he knew what we were looking for, and he turned it into a wedding set we could not have been more impressed with. The dance floor was full, from the first song to the last. Andrew, our MC...again...simply incredible. We have never seen someone MC a wedding like he did ours, while still making the event about us and our guests...never about him. The wedding party introductions alone were out of this world. Thank you Andrew! And JP, who handled all out lighting and even did some remixing of songs we were using was awesome. The lights, which he said would be awesome...were 10 times that. Another amazing aspect, we did all our booking, meetings etc. leading up to the wedding over skype/facetime, because we live about 2 hours from their office. Met them the day of the event and they were everything in person they were online. Having gotten married on Sept. 16, our family and friends are still talking about the best wedding DJ, MC and lighting they have ever seen. My wife and I will always consider James and his company family for making our day what it was! Our only regret right now, is we don't have another event to book these guys for in the near future. But trust me, as soon as we do, they will be the only ones we go to. Book them now...It will be the best wedding decision you make! Thank you James, Andrew and JP! read more

My wife and I were married in September of 2018. We decided on This Is It Entertainment based on all the amazing reviews we read. I really enjoyed how they scheduled a few meetings for us leading up to the wedding. We were living out of state at the time, so all these meetings were conducted over FaceTime, which was very convenient. This allowed us to get to know Davey (our host) and Rob (our DJ), so that we didn't feel like strangers by the time the wedding came around. It also gave them a better understanding of what we were expecting on our wedding day. Months later, I still have friends and family telling me how great Davey and Rob were. They had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night, which is exactly what we wanted! I was so impressed with how Rob was able to mix older songs, that everyone loves, with newer music seamlessly. He had everyone from the youngest attendees to my oldest relatives enjoying the music. Davey was able to command the crowd and shift the attention throughout the night like a conductor leading his orchestra. Not a single thing the whole night felt forced, out of place, or dull. As a team, they were able to draw our guests back to the dance floor after the formalities with ease, making it feel like we never even stopped dancing in the first place. The way this company caters to your every need/want will truly make you feel like a celebrity for the night. I wanted to mention as a side note that my wife and I opted for the upgrade of having a lighting specialist. I could not recommend this enough. It definitely adds a different level of entertainment that I initially didn't even know was missing from other weddings. I would recommend This Is It to anyone and everyone looking for the greatest night of their life. read more

Look no further than This Is It Entertainment for your wedding services. If you're planning on making the right decision to go with a DJ for your wedding, you're in the right place. They're MUCH more than a DJ though, they're a fully baked operational entertainment juggernaut. From jump street you'll speak with most likely James who is THE most passionate person I've met about their profession. He and Davey will walk you through all aspects of the selection process, educate you about what you should be thinking of and point you in the right direction. Don't be fooled by other vendors who claim to provide an experience. This Is It delivers! Their lighting scheme alone would impress even noteworthy professional performers. This isn't a massive contractual add on either folks. It's simply what they do! It's an entire room transformed. Week of your wedding you'll be stressing about a million things. Wondering if your entertainment company has your back will not be one of them. They have multiple check-in points reassuring you that you're in good hands. This will be appreciated later I promise you. Day of they arrived at the venue several hours earlier than anticipated to being their domination on the venue. As mentioned they enabled my venue to be the most epic dance party I've witnessed. Davey walks you through each aspect on the day as your MC. Audibles and last moment changes do not phase the team. We had a couple, Davey delivered. Truly a showman and personality you'll absolutely want at your wedding! Can't say enough great things about the team, their performance, and most importantly the VALUE of having a great squad like This Is It in your corner, thank you for all you did for us! Our wedding was most certainly a jammer! Mike & Lauren read more

This Is It team was truly an amazing company to work with from start to finish. From our first meeting with Keli and James we immediately had that "family" feeling. We felt like we had known them forever just from their excitement ! They really understood the vibe the the vision for our big day !  They set us up with the dream team, Davie and Rob Beats who absolutely killed it. Davie is a beast at what he does ! He kept the crowed hyped the entire nigh from start to finish and was there checking in on both of us all night making sure we were happy-- although he could see from us not getting off the dance floor the entire night ! Rob also another beast and a key piece to our night-- the way he can read the crowd and see what working took so much off of our plates for making a whole song list. We gave him a few top songs we definitely wanted and he brought in exactly what he felt was working with the crowd to keep everyone dancing the whole night ! James and the lighting crew at This Is It made the ballroom feel like a club, and the dance floor was never empty -- that was exactly what we wanted !! The whole team genuinely cares about your entire day from the beginning to the end. We really look forward to continuing to use This Is It for any other big events we have in the future because we know they will absolutely deliver and make any event an amazing one!!  Thank you again to the TII team for everything we truly loved every single moment, and we could not have done it without you !!  Lindsay and Jay Choma read more

This Is It was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day! They played a huge part in making sure the day ran smoothly and seamlessly, and so much of that is due to the hard work that's put in "behind the scenes". We worked with Jimmy Shoez and DJ Rob Beats, and couldn't have asked for a better team! We had a total of 4 meetings (FaceTime/phone calls) between the two of them in order to make sure every detail was addressed. The calls were thorough but to-the-point, so we felt well taken care of, but NOT overwhelmed. Jimmy was incredibly genuine in every interaction we had with him. He made sure every part of the schedule was taken care of, is present and attentive during both the prep and special day, and his demeanor and approach puts you at ease. He is truly invested in making the day special for you, and looking back we couldn't imagine the process without him. DJ Rob is an incredible talent!! He gains a sense of what you want and don't want for your party and guests, and puts it all together in a way that many DJs cannot do. I cannot tell you how many comments we got specifically about our DJ! Overall, This Is It made this incredibly important part of our night much less stressful, and helped deliver the kind of party we wanted to throw to celebrate our marriage! We have amazing memories to look back on with our family and friends, and this wonderful company played a huge role in making that happen for us. This is not your average vendor for entertainment - they truly went above and beyond!! read more

I have known Davey basically all my life. After we got engaged I reached out on Facebook for a good, recommendable DJ. ALL of my the feedback was "This Is It Entertainment" and what an amazing MC Davey was. After meeting with James, our DJ, who was so professional but yet down to earth, we knew that we were going with them. We had multiple meetings with them, and they always made us feel so confident that it was going to all go smoothly. It was more like hanging out with a bunch of friends whenever we would go there. Each time we left, we wished our wedding was that night, because of how excited they got us. The wedding went awesome!! They did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They had everyone out on the dance floor, from my 5 year old nephew to my 98 year old grandfather.. And everyone in between!! It's been a little over a week, and we're still getting told what an amazing time our wedding was, and how great the music and entertainment was. Davey was an amazing MC, he has such an awesome personality and got everyone excited. He kept the night going at the perfect pace. He let me know when and where I needed to be, and never once did I feel overwhelmed. The lighting was amazing, which was done by JP. James knew exactly what songs to play and when to keep everyone out on the dance floor all night. I honestly can't say a bad thing about our entertainment that night. This Is It Entertainment is nothing short of amazing, and I wish I could relive that night over and over!! read more

My husband and I got married a little over two weeks ago and we used This is It Entertainment as our DJ/ MC. We had already had an awesome experience with James and Davie when we were a part of my sister-in-law's wedding in 2016 so we knew we were in good hands from the start. Davie and James took time with us to find out exactly the type of vibe we were looking for. They helped us hand pick songs for special moments throughout the night that really helped add our personal touch to the evening. I naturally tend to micromanage and ask a ton of "what if's" but these guys were already on top of everything before I could even go there. It is almost like they knew what I was thinking before I even had to say anything. They helped us work out the timeline of the day and they made sure our event was running smoothly at all times. Between the music selections, energetic MC and lighting crew these guys kept our guests dancing all night long. They were able to accommodate the live acoustic guitar player that we had for our ceremony and ensure that everything sounded beautiful. One moment I wont ever forget was before the ceremony, I was having a minor freak out just from being so overwhelmed and nervous. Davie (the MC) was super comforting and made me feel so much better prior to walking down the aisle. I can't thank him enough for this! If you are looking for a team who will go the extra mile for you, treat you like family AND throw a KICK ASS PARTY - these are your guys! read more

From the beginning of our experience with This Is It, we felt accommodated constantly. We had Davey as our emcee, James as the DJ, and JP as the light technician. I felt no concern for what we would receive the day of our wedding because the staff showed that they were there for us in every way. Not only that, but the team was legitimately excited to perform for us; I did not feel like we were just another paycheck for them. The website also allowed for us to easily note down songs that we wanted to be played the night of, as well as songs not to be played. We had very specific tastes when it came to the music that we wanted played at our wedding. To be specific, we wanted a club-like feel with a lot of electronic dance music. The This Is It team completely met our standard in music choices and our wedding really felt like it was tailored specifically for us. Aside from music choice, another important criteria was the lighting, which was phenomenal. The light system, lasers, and haze was amazing when combined with the music. From both sides of the family, just about everyone was on the dance floor. Most surprising, the bride's father, who does NOT dance, was dancing. This Is It gave us a night that we will never forget and we are all waiting for our video of the night so we can watch the dancing and hear the music again. I would recommend This Is It to anyone who wants to have a great time at their wedding. read more

This Is It came at the recommendation of a good friend of mine who used them for his wedding, and enjoyed their production so much that he joined on with them as an MC. We had James (DJ), Will (MC) and JP (tech) come to do our reception as well as provide speakers for a string duet at our ceremony. They were thorough and meticulous in their preparation, but kept the atmosphere light and fun. At our reception, the dance floor was NEVER empty. They helped fill in some of those awkward lulls in our reception, like while food was being served, or the cake was being cut, etc. People from all generations came up to us in the days after the event to tell us how much fun they had. We had a perfect mix of music to keep the older crowd into it towards the beginning, and cranked up the intensity towards the end of the night as they faded. Most importantly, my bride and I always - and I mean ALWAYS - felt like This Is It had our event totally under control. This is an incredibly valuable feeling, especially at a time where you are dealing with dozens of vendors, different personalities, random unexpected issues and conflicts, etc etc. These guys have their ducks in a row, and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

This is It Entertainment was by far the best and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! From the moment you meet the amazing crew to the very end, you feel confident that everything is going to be perfect for your special day. I am very Type A personality with specific lists for everything, but James and Davey exceeded my expectations! They are quick to respond, and make sure they check up on you to get needed appointments done in a timely matter! James even went out of his way to make a "timeline of the day" for me! My husband didn't want just a "DJ" he wanted entertainment and This Is It provided just that! Weeks later we are STILL having friends and family come up to us telling us they never left that dance floor! (Some never even sat down to eat dinner!) My husbands one cousin even said "I feel like your Dj was Bluetoothed into my brain for every song I wanted to hear that night!" We also had a percussionist which I HIGHLY recommend! He was so fun! He allowed not only my husband and I, but our guests to bang on the drums! Davey even gave our groomsman the microphone at one time to sing piano man! I can't thank them enough for all they did for us!! read more

Considering how much time and effort brides put into planning the perfect day, most details often get overlooked; all but the entertainment. For all wedding guests, the most memorable part of any wedding is the actual party and the DJ plays a pivotal part in that experience. This Is It Entertainment have outdone themselves and I can't stop raving about them! The moment we met with James and Will, we knew instantaneously they were the one! Considering we weren't as elaborate as other couples when it came to what we wanted, they made us feel so comfortable and it felt like they were reading our minds. They were able to translate what it was we were looking for with ease and it resulted with our ceremony and reception being the talk of the town! It was phenomenal! James and Will read the crowd perfectly and knew exactly what music to play. They kept the whole party engaged the whole duration and everyone had an absolute blast! Their love and passion for what they do is evident and it was so worth what we paid for! I will definitely be calling them for any future parties and will not skip a beat in referring them to anyone looking for a DJ/Emcee. read more

I cannot even express how much I love This Is It Entertainment. From our first conversation with James, I knew that we found the right people... we ended up being on the phone for 2 hours just chatting and having a blast...like what!? James listened to the type of wedding we wanted and hooked us up with our DJ Rob and MC/Host Will ....and boy were they a perfect fit for us!!! We had multiple meetings with Rob and Will, and grew to love them as friends before our big day...and you know when you party with your friends it's WAY more fun!! It's been two weeks since our wedding...and let me tell you, people are STILL talking about how much fun our wedding was, and on multiple occasions we've heard "Literally best DJ and MC at a wedding EVER".......we even had people tell us they wished they booked them at their weddings coming up! I cannot thank Rob and Will enough for playing all the music we love, and for literally inciting the most epic metal dance party I've ever seen!! If you want a rockin' party that you and your guests will love, don't walk...RUN to This Is It!!! Also - they do some seriously epic lighting ....our tent looked AWESOME!!! read more

We had seen their work at two other friends' weddings and we knew when our time came, we needed to have This Is It for our special day! James, our DJ, and Davey our MC, were personable, passionate, experienced and helped us have a blast all throughout the planning process. They offered up advice throughout our time planning with them, answered all of our crazy questions, and made sure that our wedding music showcased who we both were. They knew how important that was to us. The planning process was laidback and so much fun. Every time we walked out of their office, we were more amped up than ever! They are so incredibly professional, they worked with the other vendors including our venue to maintain a schedule and ensured that everything flowed seamlessly. We knew that we were in good hands the entire time and did not have to worry about a thing. Their photo booth was a blast and the lighting that they brought created a warm, visually stunning tone to the entire event that really made it stand out! We love these guys and can't recommend them enough! If we can post pics, let us know! read more

We hired This Is It Entertainment for our wedding at The Mill Lakeside Manor on August 26th, and could not be more satisfied with them. From our introductory call with Kelli to working with Jimmy and DJ Dan Tranquil, the entire team was fantastic to work with. Jimmy took extensive time to get to know us personally, as well as learn about our family and wedding party, so that he could be the best possible emcee on site. He was incredibly personable throughout the process, and really put as at ease in the run-up to the event. On-site, he did such a great job that one of my guests just assumed that he was a family friend based on how well he seemed to know us and run the evening. DJ Dan was also terrific to work with. He helped us through the crafting of our playlists, made fantastic suggestions on how to best structure the evening, and then compiled a playlist that kept guests dancing all night. We received a ton of positive feedback from friends and family saying how much fun the wedding was, and we know that wouldn't have been possible without the This Is It team that we worked with. read more

I just finished hosting my gym's 4th annual award ceremony and we couldn't have been more pleased with choosing This Is It Entertainment!! JP Kinney was our event specialist and made the entire booking process easy. He listened to our needs and was very helpful and professional with all of our questions. We went with a "Static Up-Lighting" enhancement (TOTALLY worth it for the overall ambience of the main ballroom) and DJ Dan was our DJ for the event. DJ Dan was everything we had in mind for our special event. He checked in with us prior to our event (even took time to Facetime us from our dress rehearsal from the venue) to make sure we were on the same page with everything. Our event was on Saturday, January 7th, 2017 and that day we got hit with a huge snow storm! Luckily, we still had an amazing turnout for our event and DJ Dan arrived on time, and ran the entire show exactly how we wanted it to go. His music selection was great and everyone was on the dance floor! Thank you so much This Is It Entertainment! See you guys next year for our 5th Annual Ezey Awards :) read more

The team at This is It did an amazing job at our wedding. Everyone we spoke to was so professional, nice, and caring. They are incredibly organized and ensure that everything is exactly how you envisioned it. They truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. We felt so comfortable and did not need to worry about a thing. They did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was the music fantastic, they did a great job keeping the timeline, getting attention from guests, and making sure we were comfortable. The lighting was beautiful and fun as well. Guests were dancing and having a great time. Willy (emcee) was even jumping in and out of the crowd to engage all the guests. We met with them several times on zoom and facetime throughout the entire process and they were always engaged, willing to provide advice, and extremely caring. You can tell they have such great experience and a great relationship to each other and their clients. We recommend them so highly and would hire them again without a doubt. We wish them all the best! read more
