Kirk was initially really great to work with. We were very straightforward about having curated playlists with specific vibes and confirmed that it was important to have these songs played. He advertises himself as being Spotify friendly and we gave him playlists as such. Quick communicator and easy going. Kirk interrupted us multiple times throughout the night, following us (the couple) around as we re-entered to talk to us, take photos, and taking photos and videos of us and our guests. He was directed to step to the side for the dinner and instead was seated at a guest table with our friends. When it came time to do dances, he turned the music off and left to take a brief break - not a problem if the music had continued, but he left us without sound. During the reception songs lagged between playing, songs by the same artist were stacked instead of spread apart, and a song would start for a second, then stop and he would play something else. He was often wandered away from his station to socialize, which affected the music flow. He followed us and our guests around all night, asking what we wanted to hear, and would solicit requests from the crowd between songs despite my MULTIPLE prompts to continue with the playlist I made for this event. Many of our songs were missed which I ended up disappointed by but I didn't feel I should have to pull up the list to tell him what to play when I already made one. His wife arrived to pick him up at the end of the night, flashing her lights and shouting for him which my guests noticed. To top it off, after being irritated by the way services went, we had to pay him and he gave me the final total at the end of my wedding night since he didn't plan ahead for travel fees after multiple requests to get it finalized prior to. Overall disappointed and I wish I could let it go, but it did affect my night unfortunately and was a huge cost for a disappointing service. read more

Kirk is a really great guy and really nice to be around. I was a bit disappointed with the music at our wedding, however. I had a list of 'must plays' that I spent months and months putting together. Each song was really important to me and my husband, and something I couldn't imagine not having play at our wedding. During the dancing, however I was hearing lots of songs not on the list, which is fine, but most of the songs on our list did not get played. This was really disappointing. He played a couple songs twice, at which point I realized I needed to be reminding him of the songs on our list one-by-one, which was difficult to do in the moment because I didn't have the list on me and I really just wanted to be out on the dance floor not having to worry about anything. We also had put together some artists/genre guidelines for music to be played during dinner, and the music that end up getting played was not what we had suggested. He emailed us 2 days before the wedding asking for songs to be played during dinner, which was a little frustrating because I had already put together a list months before and sent to him with plenty of time. I didn't want to have to be worrying about this 2 days before the wedding when we were traveling and seeing family. Overall, if your music is really important to you and you are really excited about particular longs being played, I would have your list printed out so that there is no ambiguity on the day-of. If you just want some wedding classics played and aren't too particular about the selection, he will absolutely show up and do a great job and is great to be around. He is a great guy, just didn't seem to remember our list, and to be honest it will always disappoint me that those songs didn't get played. read more

We began our wedding planning very far in advance to ensure that we could book the best vendors possible. Kirk and Monika at Yosemite Entertainment were hands down our first choice for our master of ceremonies (MC) and DJ. The two of them are such wonderful people--such a pleasure to work with--very professional and easygoing. They started out by giving us a printout of the timeline/rundown of how most weddings flow, which we were able to easily adapt to our specific needs. Then we chose music to go with those special moments (music prior to the ceremony, walking down the aisle, reception/introductions, first/family/final dance, etc.). I gave the two of them just a few songs that I wanted thrown in here and there but for the most part I just let them do their thing and OMG I could not have been happier!!! The entire event just flowed so well. We had originally hired just Kirk but then decided that we really wanted them both to be there. Kirk & Monika work in sync so well together! I can honestly say that our family and friends are not much of a dancing crowd but somehow the music that they played was getting EVERYONE up there on the dancefloor (the champagne may have helped too lol). But seriously--everyone had an amazing time and we had a large group out on that dancefloor well past midnight. We couldn't have chosen a better MC/DJ for such a momentous occasion. We got so much good feedback from guests about these two as a dynamic duo for making the event flow so well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOSEMITE ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Look no further, your answer to great party entertainment is right here! If it's DJ services or live band, they can do it all and they do it so well. My husband and I hired them for our wedding this June and they were truly amazing. They didn't miss a single beat from start to finish and they included every small detail/request we asked for. Very professional! They offer great tips for execution during your entire event; toasts, first dance, etc., and are great at inviting your guests to get up on their feet. The live band is a talented group and their sound is infectious. You'll love their interactive approach and your guests will have wonderful memories of your party for years to come. Yosemite Entertainment is a staple for a great wedding/event! read more

Kirk just DJ'ed our wedding last weekend. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and seemed genuinely excited for our wedding weekend. He worked with us on songs and on selecting live musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dj or live musicians. read more

Call these folks if you need music at an event near Oakhurst or Yosemite! We needed some music for an event but we had less than two weeks to arrange it. The owners of Yosemite Entertainment worked hard to find us an appropriate style of music and they put together a great trio of jazz musicians. We asked that the music be in the background and that they feel out the crowd a bit to adjust the volume and choices and they were perfect. They set up early, played under the stars during an event attended by 150 people, and tore down without disturbing the guests or the venue owners. Thank you for making the evening even more memorable and for putting it together with such short notice. Compliments are still coming in. read more

Monika Moulin and Yosemite Entertainment ROCK!! Monika was the DJ/mistress of ceremonies at my wedding on Saturday, June 6, 2009, at the Cottages at Tenaya Lodge near Yosemite, and she could not have been better! It was terrific working with Monika and her husband Kirk in planning the music for the ceremony and reception, and Monika played keyboard for the ceremony as well as being our DJ. We live in Southern California and had to plan the ceremony long-distance; our ceremony was originally planned for out of doors, and was moved at the last minute due to rain. Through it all, Monika was incredibly professional, poised, and positive, and made both the planning and realization of our wedding trouble-free, with great results. Their music selection is comprehensive and fun, and their prices are competitive. I highly recommend Monika and Kirk Moulin and Yosemite Entertainment! read more

Kirk, Monika and the Larkspur Band were top notch! We hired them for our wedding at The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley. They were very professional and the music was great! Our guests were very impressed and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend them. read more

Although many people thought the wedding of Prince William and Kate was the wedding of the century, guests who attended the wedding of Tristan and Keith at Paradise Springs 7.7.11 know theirs was the real Wedding of the Century! Yosemite Entertainment was a HUGE part of this success. They were extremely professional, well organized, and spot-on for the genre of music needed throughout the entire event from rehearsal party to walking down the aisle to reception. Their upbeat personalities and music choices kept the dancing high energy til late in the night. Music choices appealed to the guests aged two to ninety-three! Guests were having so much fun we had to hire them for extra time...they were so adaptable. Guests had the highest compliments for them asking where we found such highly professional people. We really credit them with putting the enthusiasm into the event that breathed exhilaration, joyfulness, and passion to the already existing happiness and made it a wedding that will always be remembered. It could not have been better thanks to Yosemite Entertainment. read more

Kirk Moulin was in charge of all the music for my daughter's wedding at the Yosemite Valley Chapel, through the reception at the Ahwahnee, on 1/7/12. Kirk played guitar and Leslie played the flute for the ceremony and the social hour at the beginning of the reception. They set the tone for a tasteful and elegant experience. Then Kirk got the party really going as he D.J.'d after dinner. I don't think there was a single person who did not dance. He understands the space he works in, senses the mood of the people, and adjusts accordingly. At one point he approached me and suggested moving cake cutting to much earlier than planned. His goal was to get people up from their table where they had already finished dinner and into the solarium for the cake cutting in the underlounge, which then transitioned perfectly into the first dance in the winter room. It worked wonderfully. He was delightful to work with, adjusted easily to some changes we threw in, and worked with my daughter and fiancee to get music that truly reflected who they are. I highly recommend Kirk Moulin. read more
