DJ MAX'S REVIEWS
Lisa L. - One of the reasons why I chose Essen Entertainment is because they communicated very well and quickly from the start. I was so impressed with their timely response. They made me feel like I’m their only client. DJ Max is very thoughtful. He reviewed my playlist, made suggestions, worked through the timeline with me, mashed the music effortlessly which invited our large diverse guests to dance and stayed on the floor (even the older Vietnamese family who I didn’t expect to dance!). DJ Max also knew that my husband was a bit nervous for our first dance together and gave him some options to when to dip and finish the dance at the right time. My husband now does not have any regrets about doing the first dance. My guests had a lot of fun with the photobooth as well. My Vietnamese mother and other family is not very tech savvy. So I appreciate the attendants helping them use the iPad and get their pictures on their phones. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!
Barret G. - Great experience with Essen entertainment. Very good comminication prior to and during the event. Our venue had some complications with AV equipment, but they did really well adapting to it. Max was really good to work with and knew how to match the energy in the room pretty well. Was a great wedding with great music!
Adam L. - My wife and I got married this year. It was no question we wanted Essen Entertainment and specifically DJ Max to take care of our music and entertainment and boy did they. I am pretty sure it was the smoothest part of our wedding day lol. All 3 of us got together about a week or 2 before the wedding. And he knew exactly what we wanted. I barely got to talk to him from all the mingling my wife and I were doing. I couldn't tell you how many people came up or called us the next day asking about him. I appreciate his hard work and professionalism he gave everyone. We recommend him 100 times over. Any time someone asks if anyone knows a DJ I ALWAYS tell them Max.
Clare C. - JJ and Max were awesome to work with. We were not jiving with our original DJ. JJ took care of us and immediately switched us to a different DJ that totally understood what we were wanting with our wedding and reception. Max and JJ were both proactive communicators and we felt well taken care of. Max is also detailed oriented and left nothing left to chance in terms of our details. He worked great with the other vendors and everything was absolutely perfect for our special day! Highly recommend Essen Entertainment and would definitely use them again!
Noah J. - Essen Entertainment was a fantastic vendor to work with on our big day! DJ Max was very thorough in his communication and planning with us for each part of the wedding to ensure our guests and were having a wonderful time.
Eric W. - DJ Max of Essen Entertainment helped make our wedding special. He was very personable, considerate and responsive leading up to the wedding day. We had a call with him a couple days prior to finalize everything which made us feel very comfortable. He stuck with much of the playlists we provided for cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception dancing. He ordered and grouped the songs in an orderly fashion and kept the dance floor lively. His help facilitating the wedding timeline was flawless - ceremony music, intros, first dances, speeches, etc. Highly recommend
Alyssa W. - This team was absolutely awesome! From JJ setting up times to speak when I was in England to Max helping me with figuring out the best songs, games and the Photo Booth! Max kept the party going all night without missing a beat! The shoe game was an absolute blast and I couldn’t have done it without this team. Highly recommend!"
Kara S. - Max did a great job of keeping everyone on the dance floor. He made sure to play our "must plays" and had the party going until the very end. JJ had everyone engaged in our photobooth and everyone left with some photo memoribilia of our wedding day, and we got a whole file of fun shots!
Matt V. - Max went above and beyond for our wedding. His energy levels matched ours perfectly, he was able to read the room and keep the party going with a great lineup of tracks and transitions, announcements and first dance were flawless, and he nailed the pronunciation of my difficult last name! Couldn't have been more pleased with how things went - we really, really appreciate it. Wanted to make sure everyone heard that from the source!
Jamal K.. - Thank you J.J.! Max did impressingly well with the Indian songs. We had him play some orchestral music and he pivoted effortlessly. That pivot would have been difficult for a purely south another DJ. The speaker quality was fabulous. The speeches were audible in a crisp sound. Thanks to Max for agreeing to setup camp at the back of the hall. I know it must have been challenging to him. But he has a very professional and accommodating approach.
Abigail W. - Everything was perfect, you were amazing! And I couldn't be more thankful to Essen Entertainment an DJ Max👏🏼👏🏼 it was definitely a success and we are still on cloud 9! If we ever need anything we won't hesitate and I will definitely be recommending you, you are the best! Wishing you nothing but the best always! 🙏🏼

Laura G. - JJ and his team were incredible. They are so organized and communicative. They have experience playing many venues around town so understand set up, how the music carries, and what equipment is needed to ensure your event is perfect. Special Shout out to DJ Max who was a wonderful EmCee and made our wedding perfect!
Stephanie R. - I cannot recommend Essen Entertainment enough! The owner, J.J. and our DJ Max exceeded my expectations. Everyone at our wedding danced and made comments about how impressed they were. J.J. communicated with me and asked for clarifications to ensure everything went smoothly. Max took song requests at our wedding and my husband said that while Max didn't have a specific song, he bought it just to be able to play it. . I know I will recommend them to anyone I know having an event! Thank you for a great time, we couldn't have asked for a better entertainment service
Lauren W. - Max did a great job as the DJ of our wedding. He is very nice and very professional. My husband was impressed at how every time he wanted to make an (unplanned) announcement to our guests, Max was right there ready to pass him a mic or make an announcement that he was about to speak. In addition to that, Max worked closely with my coordinator and gave us 50 sparklers that we needed. The sparklers were a last minute idea and Max pulled through for us! Thank you, Max for a great night! -Lauren and Stephen
Connor V. - I don’t even know how to begin other than to say that Essen Entertainment and DJ Max were an absolute blessing. He is an absolutely amazing DJ who puts so much care into what he does. He really came through for us at very short notice when our original DJ fell through. He cared so much about us and bringing our wedding to life and really pulled out the stops. He made everything so easy on us, and we got so many compliments on the music from our guests. People were dancing in their seats to the music. It was so incredible! He was a fantastic emcee as well and kept everyone enthused. I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat. Words really don’t cover what an amazing person and DJ this guy is!! 💜 perfect!!!
Laura G. - JJ and his team are absolutely wonderful. Communicative, responsive and on time they made our wedding day perfect.They’ve played many venues around Houston and know the spaces. Special shout out to DJ Max—he’s an amazing emcee and made our wedding a blast!

He played great songs, helped make sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, and during the planning phase of the wedding, Max was SO supportive and encouraging. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ that went above and beyond to help make our day special.
Jason P. - Max was so easy to work with! He did a great job! We had a lot of older family members and young friends at the wedding but Max was able to find music where everyone had such a great time!
John G. - DJ Max was awesome! He was communicative leading up to the wedding date, to make sure we shared the same vision. He was helpful with timeline suggestions. He was fantastic at the wedding, playing all the songs we requested and none of the ones we didn't. He made sure we and our guests had an awesome time, and went above and beyond his duties. I am so happy with our choice of Essen Entertainment and especially DJ Max. I highly recommend to anyone needing music services!
Amanda H. - DJ Max did a really great job and was very easy to work with. He made our reception really fun and I liked how nice he was to our guests about music requests. He was prepared and made sure to ask us many detailed questions well in advance. He was willing to make any changes we needed and was a great sport the whole event. He was very reasonably priced and we are very grateful for his contribution to our special day. He set up his microphone for our ceremony and knew everything he needed to do for the whole event. We are very glad we chose him and I would definitely recommend him as a DJ for anyone's event or wedding. Thank you so much Max!!!

Definitely hire Max for your next event! You will not regret it!
Taylor M. - My husband and I hired Essen Entertainment and DJ Max to do our wedding earlier this March and he was a true gem!! We loved that he already knew the venue (Miller's Creek Rustic Events), and he knew exactly what to do and where to go. He showed up early, set up was quick, and he played exactly what we wanted. He even took requests from the audience on what they would like. 😊 I will definitely be using Max again in the future for any event! Highly recommend him and is a very sweet man!
Katie S. - DJ Max played every song we wanted at our wedding and avoiding the ones we dont , along with those that got our guest out of their seats and onto the dance floor.

Jenn H. - I would recommend Essen Entertainment and DJ Max to anyone looking for a DJ. Very professional, perfect song selections and kept the dancefloor moving.

Thank you again for everything.
Laura A. - JJ and his team were incredible. They are so organized and communicative.

Codi S. - First of all I must say how professional and honest Max is! I was super nervous about booking a DJ because I have heard some horror stories. Well let me tell you that Max did an amazing job and he was so friendly and organized. He made sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it right down to the last detail. He even bent over we backwards to mix my father daughter dance song literally the night before our wedding that way it was just the way I wanted it. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone that needs a DJ for a wedding, birthday or any event really. Max, thank you again for making our wedding perfect!
Madison S. - Max was the DJ for our wedding and he really helped contribute to making it the BEST day of our lives! We told him all along we wanted to make sure our guests are having so much fun that they don’t want to leave the dance floor - and he delivered! He was also super easy to talk to and reach throughout the process. He patiently answered all my questions , gave us good recommendations, and made all our special requests happen with traditional Greek and Hungarian songs mixed in. Unlike other some horror stories we had heard about other companies, we never had a worry that we would get ripped off or not get what we expected. Highly recommend Essen Entertainment and DJ Max!
Tony M. - DJ MAX is a great person! Words can't explain what a great person he is.! The best DJ in Houston....I would definitely recommend him for every event that ya'll need. you well not go wrong with him trust me".

His karaoke is A1 and his music playlist is endless, he's very professional, and keeps up with all the new music. His set up is awesome. I recommend him for all you parties, weddings, bars, & just all around music DJ needs. Max Sullivan is a beast when it comes to the best DJs I've heard.
Robyn R. - PERFECT CHOICE!! J.J. and MAX were amazing to work with and were everything we were hoping for in a DJ. Choosing them was our big splurge for our wedding and we are so glad we did.

The day of MAX was able to handle all the unscripted changes the night brought and created an amazing dance party. Thanks again guys!
Jeremy G. - 5 stars is just not enough! Max was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting, to the day of the wedding he took care of any and every detail, to ensure that I had nothing to worry about. With everything going on with the wedding, Max made sure that the planning process regarding the music couldn't be easier. On the day of our actual wedding, he made sure that everyone was up and having a great time at our reception. Our day would have not been nearly as memorable without Max and Essen Entertainment there.. so a million times THANK YOU

DJ BRIAN'S REVIEWS
Rylie H. - We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Essen Entertainment and DJ Brian for our wedding! From the very first conversation, they were professional, enthusiastic, and incredibly attentive to our needs. DJ Brian was not only a master at reading the crowd but also had impeccable timing with every song. They kept the dance floor packed all night long, creating the perfect energy for every moment—from our first dance to the high-energy party vibes later in the evening. Their playlist was exactly what we envisioned, and they seamlessly blended our requests with their own creative choices, making sure every guest, young and old, had a great time. On top of their incredible music skills, Dj Brian was also a phenomenal emcee—keeping the night flowing smoothly with clear, fun, and engaging announcements. I wanted a way that I could get a picture with all my guests without me and my husband having to run around table to table(sweaty bride over here) and DJ Brian had the idea of doing a "photo dash". We sat in chairs on the dance floor and had each table come up one by one. What made it the dash was we were trying to get a picture with all the tables before the song was over. It was SO fun and the pictures were so fun to look back on while getting a picture with everyone that was there! We received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was, and we truly felt like our wedding was elevated to the next level because of their talent. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, personable, and knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, Essen Entertainment and DJ Brian are the ones! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable—you were absolutely amazing!

He did anything we asked and gave us lots of instruction with what was going to happen. He truly was the best!

J.J. was a great resource to customize every detail. DJ BEN WAS AWESOME! His expertise during the reassured us we were in good hands. Highly recommend for a top-tier wedding DJ service!
David G. - We made the choice to go with Dj Ben because they had worked at the venue before and, more importantly, had a bilingual DJ/MC. Our Venue (Villa Antonia) had multiple spaces that were being used and they made sure every area was taken care of so that there was music for each part of the day, from Ceremony, to Cocktail hour/Dinner, and of course the Reception, all of which were in different areas. DJ Ben was absolutely incredible. He met with us before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page with what music we wanted and what to avoid, what to play for the reception and each of the dances. DJ Ben knew how to feel the crowd out, played music that would get everyone going and get people dancing. Him being bilingual was also very important to us because we had a lot of guests that only spoke spanish, so he was sure to make every announcement in both English and Spanish so no one felt left out. I would recommend DJ Ben to anyone.

DJ Ben is not only talented but also incredibly professional. He was punctual and arrived well-prepared for both events. His attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. We appreciated his reliability and how he went above and beyond to make sure our special days were unforgettable. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a quinceañera, or any other event, we highly recommend DJ Ben. His exceptional skills and dedication truly set him apart. Thank you, DJ Ben, for making our celebrations so memorable!

Thank you for bringing our vision to life and making our day!

We had the time of our lives and could not have been happier with hiring DJ Ben. On top of that he is so nice and easy to work with. We highly highly recommend hiring him for your wedding!!!

DJ LUIS'S REVIEWS
Gabrielle C. - Luis was an amazing DJ , very easy to work with and overall was such a great DJ! He was so nice and knew exactly what to do! EVERYONE was on the dance floor & didn’t want the night to end. Essen entertainment is the company to go with!! Book now!
Angela L. - We found Essen Entertainment by Google searching "best DJ in Houston Texas" They were three first to pop up. We checked out the website and JJ's Facebook and decided immediately to go with them. JJ was extremely nice and helpful, he was booked the day of my wedding so he booked us with Luis. First impression, I knew he'd be awesome. He played great music, interacted with the guests (they loved him), and even helped serve food lol (catering misunderstanding, my fault) The dance floor was never empty! We had a blast. I highly recommend Essen Entertainment!!!!
Gabrielle C. - Luis was an amazing DJ , very easy to work with and overall was such a great DJ! He was so nice and knew exactly what to do! EVERYONE was on the dance floor & didn’t want the night to end. Essen entertainment is the company to go with!! Book now!
Erica M. - Luis was out of this world fabulous for our wedding reception!! From the start of my planning experience, through to the final dance at the reception, we were just ecstatic! He helped us plan not only a wedding reception, but a true professional event! He greeted us at the door of the venue and made the evening flow wonderfully! The sound system was amazing, and dramatic uplighting was just over the top dazzling! He kept the party going with his DJ style and vast catalogue of music. People did not want the evening to end! If you want the perfect DJ for any of your events, Luis is the man for you!
Luke L. - DJ Luis was an absolute gentleman, very professional, and did a fantastic job working with our multicultural music requests and moving with the flow of the evening. Having a truly bilingual DJ was such a blessing for our crowd. JJ was endlessly positive and set us at ease from start to finish.
Sharon V. - WOW! As a bride, I was very uneasy about contracting a DJ I had never met before. However, DJ Luis blew it out of the water. We requested a bilingual DJ (English/Spanish) as we have a mixed family. He played the perfect mix of English music and Spanish music. The dancefloor was packed all night, which was exactly what we wanted. I literally told my photographer I had enough pictures and wanted to go back to the dancefloor. DJ Luis was on time, knew what was going on and knew how to keep the dancefloor poppin'! We feel so lucky to have had him at our wedding, as the DJ/music truly can make or break a wedding. The Vincents are so thankful for DJ Luis and Essen Entertainment. JJ (owner) was always quick to respond and I appreciated that about the company.
Nikki L. - Omg I love this company and DJ Luis did such a great job on our wedding. Owner was super nice and helpful and DJ Luis picked such a good songs and our guest had great time. I will hire them again for any other party event.
Catherine F. - Luis with Essen Entertainment was an excellent DJ and Master of Ceremonies! He worked with us to select our perfect playlist, including several "must-plays" that were a bit unconventional but nevertheless fun! The crowd had an incredible time and our dance floor was always packed. Luis was clearly intuitive, as he could read the crowd and determine when it was time to pick things up or slow things down. We had a spectacular experience with him and we highly recommend him and the other DJs of Essen Entertainment!
Lauren M. - JJ entertainment was great to work with and did an amazing job for my wedding day. From the first talks with JJ he was very professional and listened to what you need and never pushed for the higher packages. We got paired with DJ Luis and he did an amazing job Mcing, keeping the dance floor alive, and the cold sparks made everything more magical. Highly recommend.
Stephanie T. - We had Luis as our DJ for the wedding and he was great! He made sure that we were dancing the whole night. We had a couple phone calls to make sure I was happy with the playlist. He was your professional. I would highly recommend him!
Alegna P. - I can imagine the joy and excitement of our quinceañera! DJ Luis truly delivered an outstanding performance, making our celebration so memorable. We are incredibly grateful for his fantastic work, and we cannot thank him enough for making our celebration so amazing and enjoyable. Additionally, having a photo booth was a wonderful addition to our party, and it brought so much joy to everyone.
LoriAnne S. - Essen Entertainment was incredibly diligent and consistently maintained open lines of communication throughout the entire process. They thoroughly understood our vision for our quinceañera, and the result was truly amazing. Regarding the entertainment and MC services, DJ Luis delivered an exceptional performance. His professionalism, understanding of our musical preferences, and excellent communication skills truly set him apart. We cannot praise his fantastic work enough. Our quinceañera turned out amazing and fun. Thank you!
Olivia B. - We had DJ Luis for our reception and he could not have been more wonderful!! My wedding was the weekend after Harvey hit Houston and he was incontact the whole time keeping me updated!! With the tragedy of the flood, his
skills were exactly what we needed and had everyone on the dance floor having so much fun! JJ was always available and super easy to work with. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a DJ!
Stephanie S. - I just recently had Luis DJ our wedding. 6 months prior he had done my sister's wedding and I could not be more thrilled with everything! He was so incredible with the music and knew exactly what to play and when to keep the party going! We had everyone on their feet! Luis was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule He even stopped to make sure we had a full glass of champagne :) J.J. I spoke with initially and he was fantastic and so helpful! I was very nervous and worried about how to plan the flow of the evening. J.J. took time to talk me through how the evening was going to go and assured me that they would take care of it and they did! I highly recommend Essen Entertainment for your wedding!!
Kaitlyn W. - We were looking all over for a quality service that wasn't going to break the bank. Essen Entertainment is the answer.. you can stop your hunt here. My wife and I had Luis do our wedding, and the guy absolutely crushed it! Showed up early, made sure everything was ready to go with plenty of time before the ceremony started, and was one step ahead of the entire night. I can not say enough great things about our experience with Luis. We gave him a list of some songs we wanted, then he knew our taste and played what he thought we would like and he delivered. He kept the dancing crowd engaged all night, and helped create a night we will never forget. Again, cant say enough positive things about this company and Luis.
Lauren G. - Luis was amazing! He was professional, organized, and most of all... fun! He made people want to get out on the dance floor and have fun! We did not mind paying a little extra for the services as compared to some of the other dj's out there, and would gladly pay it again! Thank you Luis and Essen Entertainment for helping to make our day even better!
Rafael R. - Luis was the DJ for my daughter's wedding. He did a wonderful job handling the different parts of the ceremony and reception. My daughter requested special music for the ceremony that Luis obtained rapidly. He also put together a play list that matched my daughter's requests and also had a very good sound system. He also handled the announcements and events very well. I would highly recommend Luis as a DJ for any event.
Chelsea F. - Luis with Essen Entertainment was absolutely amazing and made my wedding so much fun! He got the whole wedding party hyped before our grand entrance and kept the energy going all night long. He kept to our schedule and played the best music! If you want a great dj and photo booth that is at a reasonable cost , you have to go with Essen Entertainment :)
Sara W. - I don't ever post reviews on anything, but these guys deserve all the praise in the world. From beginning communications, all the way until the wedding was over... Essen Entertainment hit it out of the park! Our wedding was perfect. Going through the planning process we didn't realize how involved the DJ really is throughout the entire night, from introducing the bridal party, to announcing special dances, to announcing who eats first etc. There was just a lot that he was involved in, and he was the most prepared and personable DJ ever! Our DJ was Luis, and I have already been contacted twice about "Who was that DJ at your wedding? Can I have his contact info". That pretty much says it all about Essen Entertainment and Luis. Well done guys, and I can't thank you enough for the work and effort you put in to make our day perfect!
Bryce S. - Essen Entertainment paired us with Luis for our wedding and we could not possibly put into words how satisfied and thankful we are for choosing them. Luis was more than accommodating to our requests and ran the entire
evening beautifully. If you're looking for a wedding DJ there is not better choice!
Julia B. - DJ Luis was an absolute gentleman, very professional, and did a fantastic job working with our multicultural music requests and moving with the flow of the evening. Having a truly bilingual DJ was such a blessing for our crowd. JJ was endlessly positive and set us at ease from start to finish.

DJ VICTOR'S REVIEWS
Rachel R. - We had DJ Victor DJ our wedding and he did a fantastic job. Everyone complimented the cocktail hour and dinner music and they all never left the dance floor. It was a wonderful dance party and he was a pleasure to work with! I also communicated with JJ and he was an incredible communicator and was so helpful and accommodating. He sent over music lists, and timelines, and really helped a stressed bride organize the music and figure out what we wanted. We had the best time at the wedding and DJ Victor was a hit! Highly recommend Essen Entertainment!
Sarah G. - Victor did an AWESOME job at our wedding. He listened to the type of music we were interested in our guests hearing and really delivered! All of his cues were on point and his suggestion of the "Anniversary Game" was so fun for the older couples in the crowd. He also provided lighting and uplighting for the venue which really turned out to be absolutely beautiful. I suggest DEFINITELY getting the photo booth if you can. They provide a guest book with all of the photos your guests take and it's such a great keepsake since you'll be running around talking to everyone the day of. I would highly recommend Essen Entertainment to anyone getting married.
MacKenzie T. - LOVED Essen entertainment!!!! Nothing but great things to say about them. Victor drove all the way from Houston to make our day extra special. We also ordered the photobooth and the cold sparks that was above and beyond. They even gave us a book to put the photos in which was unexpected and the best gift to receive. Highly recommend using them for your wedding:) The Thompsons
Laura S. - Best communication award goes to Essen Entertainment! A big pet peeve of mine is the lack of communication (especially when you are spending A LOT of money), but you won’t have to worry about that with this company.Our DJ services were provided by Victor and he did a great job. Thanks for helping our guest dance the night away during our wedding!! Thank you!
Rachel N. - We have been using Victor and Essen Entertainment for several years now and he always does a great job!!! He's always on time to setup and even offers to help with anything we may need help with. His lights really gave my party that extra touch of awesome! Thanks so much!
Thomas Z. - Victor hosted my wedding - amazing music! He played a little bit of everything, his lighting was absolutely beautiful and he ensured that everyone sign his sheet of music request. I think our entire party danced from the moment he began playing until he left. I will highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Christina E. - DJ Victor did an awesome job at our wedding! He was so great to work with through rescheduling due to COVID and was still able to DJ our wedding after a change in date. His music selection was perfect- everyone was on the dance floor at some point and we loved the variety of songs he played!! Thanks for making our wedding so much fun.
Ashley M. - Great choice! I was having hard time finding someone comfortable with the type of music we wanted and man did DJ Victor deliver! So many people asked how we found him and thanks to Essen Entertainment, we got Victor. The music was talked about a lot and he was on top of everything. You will not regret going with Essen Entertainment and Dj Victor

Teresa L. - We booked Essen Entertainment for our August 2021 Wedding and I’m glad we did. Our DJ, Victor, was responsible for the entire flow of the evening and made sure our timeline went according to plan. He paid attention to the type of music we liked and what music kept our guests out on the dance floor - everyone had a blast! The entire team was so helpful through out the planning process, especially while everything was changing because of Covid. Essen is well worth the investment if you care about having an evening that flows well and keeps your guests entertained. Thank you Victor and JJ and the entire Essen team!
Brooke U. - We used Essen as our DJ service for our wedding and I am so glad that we did! We picked Victor as our DJ and he was so helpful during the planning process in giving us advise and providing his own ideas for some of the music. On the day of the wedding he was extremely flexible and helpful.
Grace V. - DJ Victor was the perfect fit for us!! He made some great suggestions during our meeting and was very friendly and thorough. He made our wedding sooo much fun and guests were dancing all night long!
Heather O. - Victor was absolutely awesome at our wedding! He knows what to do to get people on the dance floor and keep the party going until the end. He and J.J., the owner, were very professional and easy to work with. Victor was also very receptive to our sequence of events and song requests. We did one of the higher tier packages and don't regret it for a moment. The guests loved the photobooth! I would highly recommend these guys for your DJ needs!

Morgan C. - We used Essen Entertainment for our wedding day and could not be happier. JJ Essen was easy to contact, very responsive, and made our day so much fun! I had no idea where to start when I thought about music at our wedding and became pretty overwhelmed. When I reached out to JJ, he quickly reassured me that they, him and DJ Victor , had everything under control and he was right! They sent me a list that my husband and I could go through and pick songs were liked and disliked.

DJ VICTOR'S REVIEWS
Rachel R. - We had DJ Victor DJ our wedding and he did a fantastic job. Everyone complimented the cocktail hour and dinner music and they all never left the dance floor. It was a wonderful dance party and he was a pleasure to work with! I also communicated with JJ and he was an incredible communicator and was so helpful and accommodating. He sent over music lists, and timelines, and really helped a stressed bride organize the music and figure out what we wanted. We had the best time at the wedding and DJ Victor was a hit! Highly recommend Essen Entertainment!
Sarah G. - Victor did an AWESOME job at our wedding. He listened to the type of music we were interested in our guests hearing and really delivered! All of his cues were on point and his suggestion of the "Anniversary Game" was so fun for the older couples in the crowd. He also provided lighting and uplighting for the venue which really turned out to be absolutely beautiful. I suggest DEFINITELY getting the photo booth if you can. They provide a guest book with all of the photos your guests take and it's such a great keepsake since you'll be running around talking to everyone the day of. I would highly recommend Essen Entertainment to anyone getting married.
MacKenzie T. - LOVED Essen entertainment!!!! Nothing but great things to say about them. Victor drove all the way from Houston to make our day extra special. We also ordered the photobooth and the cold sparks that was above and beyond. They even gave us a book to put the photos in which was unexpected and the best gift to receive. Highly recommend using them for your wedding:) The Thompsons
Laura S. - Best communication award goes to Essen Entertainment! A big pet peeve of mine is the lack of communication (especially when you are spending A LOT of money), but you won’t have to worry about that with this company.Our DJ services were provided by Victor and he did a great job. Thanks for helping our guest dance the night away during our wedding!! Thank you!
Rachel N. - We have been using Victor and Essen Entertainment for several years now and he always does a great job!!! He's always on time to setup and even offers to help with anything we may need help with. His lights really gave my party that extra touch of awesome! Thanks so much!
Thomas Z. - Victor hosted my wedding - amazing music! He played a little bit of everything, his lighting was absolutely beautiful and he ensured that everyone sign his sheet of music request. I think our entire party danced from the moment he began playing until he left. I will highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Christina E. - DJ Victor did an awesome job at our wedding! He was so great to work with through rescheduling due to COVID and was still able to DJ our wedding after a change in date.

Ashley M. - Great choice! I was having hard time finding someone comfortable with the type of music we wanted and man did DJ Victor deliver!

They sent me a list that my husband and I could go through and pick songs were liked and disliked. DJ Victor followed up to review the songs and then continued to follow up to make sure we were comfortable with everything.

Every guest I talked to the next day told me how much their feet hurt from partying and I call that a huge success!

DJ FILY'S REVIEWS
Allison G. - Essen Entertainment's DJ Fily was awesome. We spoke with him a few days before the wedding to go over everything and he made some great suggestions for some things to do during the reception. We left it up to him to decide what music to play during cocktail hour and dinner and we couldn’t have been happier with his choices. We had a multicultural (Mexican and American) wedding and Fily did an awesome job of playing music that accommodated both sides and he kept the party going all night. I would recommend Essen Entertainment to anyone looking for a high-quality and professional DJ service at an affordable price. I wish I could have another wedding just so I could hire them again
Chelsea Y. - Essen Entertainment and DJ Fily were absolutely the best and at a very reasonable rate! Professional, Timely, and Experienced. Thank you Fili for the amazing night. My guests and husband absolutely loved the music and had nothing but good things to say about the night!
Brooke F. - Fily was an amazing MC at my wedding. He has a great voice, is funny, and kept my guests entertained throughout the night. We had several activities that he introduced and he did a great job of sticking to the agenda and working with our coordinator and band on-site as well. He also played a variety of music that we enjoy! He made sure to have all the information he needed from us in terms of music selection before the day of the wedding and was also able to provide me with recommendations if I wasn’t sure. Fily was very helpful throughout the process and I am so happy that I had him as a vendor for my wedding. I would always recommend! Thank you for everything Fily!
Garrett H. - I just had my wedding yesterday September 12,2021 and Fily did an awesome job never a dull moment i would most def hire him again for any event.
Stephen B. - I highly Recommend Essen Entertainment for all of your entertainment needs. Fily made the process of choosing a dj easy. He was easy to get in touch with the entire eight months before my wedding. He even came up with a day of schedule for us to follow along with and give to my Day of Coordinator. Fily went above and beyond for our wedding. He showed up hours before the reception so that we would have a microphone for our ceremony. Fily was interactive and fun. The music selection was entertaining and tasteful. We danced the night away. I highly recommend choosing Essen Entertainment.
Dallas P. - DJ Fily was Super knowledgeable company and DJ. Everything went as planned - was very helpful in selecting music for dinner and dancing. I would absolutely hire them again!

Francis P. - JJ was super so easy to work with and extremely responsive. Never waited long to hear back and that was so nice compared to some of the other vendors we hire. Our DJ, Fily , did an awesome job with our mixed Spanish-English crowd. He was upbeat without being annoying and he did a great job with our playlist. We talked to him a couple of times before the wedding and he was quick to respond as well and followed our guidance to the letter! Highly recommended!

DJ ANDY'S REVIEWS
Crystal L - Essen Entertainment and his team were great!! They knew exactly how to fit our needs and fit our budget. They communicated quickly and kept in touch throughout the entire process. DJ Andy was our chosen DJ, and he did amazing!! He played the mixture of songs we requested (we have a very diverse family) and kept up such great energy throughout the entire night. Thanks again for making our wedding day such a memorable one.
Amber S - If you’re looking to have a good time at your reception, Andy is your guy! He keeps the dance floor jumping and knows how to hype up the crowd. He is also very professional, which is essential for your big day.
Jasmine V - Essen Entertainment was amazing! Andy from Essen Entertainment was fantastic! When we were looking for a DJ, we asked for someone who was bilingual and could play different types of Spanish music. We also mentioned that my husband’s family is Colombian—Andy is also Colombian, which worked out even better! He was great when it came to all parts of the wedding—playing the right music, introductions, getting people on the dance floor. Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this company (and of course Andy) to take care of your music needs!
Cynthia H - DJ Andy was extremely kind and professional throughout our wedding day. The reception went absolutely great! Our families are very boring, and when DJ Andy saw they weren’t dancing, he’d say things on the mic to get them out to dance. We’re so grateful for that! Thank you for being a part of our special day!
Christina S -Our Rockstar DJ was DJ Andy, and we cannot thank him & the team at Essen Entertainment enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams. The team was always responsive to our requests and respectful of our time during meetings (while also keeping them fun, this is a party after all!). We provided a few examples of music we enjoy, and DJ Andy made us very happy with the playlist! We had a wedding with English and Spanish speakers, and all were able to follow what was going on through the night thanks to our great MC. We had a wonderful time, and it couldn’t have happened without the music and those involved. We would strongly recommend Essen Entertainment and DJ Andy for your wedding or any event that you want to be a fun, memorable experience. We are also grateful that DJ Andy did such a wonderful job capturing our private last dance. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have this intimate moment captured that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Maria D - Thank You Andy and Essen Entertainment! Laz and I would like to express how thankful we are for making our wedding a fairytale come true. We were very particular about music and people in general. When we started planning our wedding, I shared a few DJ names, and he said no within five minutes. He said he already had someone in mind. When he reached out to you guys, Essen Entertainment! Our wedding was perfect! All we wanted to do was dance all night long, and we did!! Andy helped us incorporate traditional songs and made it an amazing party. Our guests still keep telling us how much fun they had at the wedding, especially on the dance floor!!! To sum it up, by the end of the party, our guests were tossing Laz and me up in the air on the dance floor. Andy and Essen Entertainment, thank you for making us feel like family. Thank you for making our wedding a one-of-a-kind event!
Kt W -Danced all night long……The whole team at Essen Entertainment is on a different level. They are very personable, easy to talk to, and definitely very experienced. They were in constant communication with us. They called us in for a meeting where they were extremely helpful with our vision of how we wanted our wedding to go. They even provided suggestions as to how to arrange certain things in order for the night to flow. This was much appreciated, as our night was definitely memorable, our dance floor was never empty, and this is all due to DJ Andy understanding the crowd.Once again, thank you Essen Entertainment and DJ Andy for giving us a night that we will never forget.
Samantha M - Andy was amazing, and everyone loved the music variety! Every age range was dancing and having a good time. We have gotten so many compliments on the entertainment! He was very fun and even pronounced our name perfectly! Thank you, Andy!! - The Marris's
Denise P- Essen Entertainment and their phenomenal team, DJ Andy completely made our wedding one to remember. They continuously reach out to make sure they have all the information needed to ensure you have the wedding of a lifetime. I will forever remember my special day thanks to these gentlemen. The world needs more businesses like this one—a business that genuinely cares about their customers, not just about making money. Essen Entertainment and Andy, I can’t thank y’all enough. Andy, your professionalism is admirable, and I commend you. Thank you for making my wedding one for the books and for taking everything I suggested into consideration. You’re awesome.
Adriana M - DJ Andy and Essen Entertainment were absolutely amazing. My wedding could not have been any more perfect. Thank you, guys!
Ashley T -We had an AMAZING wedding, and a lot was attributed to the vibes set by DJ Andy! Everything from his MC skills to his choice & set list of songs was on point. My guests all commented on how friendly he was when making requests, and he fit them all in seamlessly. I personally am so pleased with the overall vibe that was set. The music was perfect, and our guests stayed on that dance floor until the very last song. Thank you to Essen Entertainment for pairing us together with him by asking simple questions in the beginning to make this as easy for my husband and me. Thank you for everything, y’all are great & keep up the great work!

DJ CARL
DJ Carl found his love for music at the very young age of ten years old when he saw a DJ not only live mixing but doing it with cassette tapes. The young Carl was captivated on how the DJ was able to keep a continuous flow of music without missing a beat and from that moment on he knew that he wanted to DJ. Carl has been a staple in the wedding and private event understry since the early 2000's and goes above and beyond for all his couples! Request him today!
DJ CARL'S REVIEWS
Brian F. - I’m so glad that I hired Carl!!! It was the best decision I made! I hired Carl to DJ and my wedding and he did it all at an expert level. He is an AMAZING DJ! He kept everybody dancing for the entire night. He was flexible and collaborated with us with the playlist which was nice. He was also a great MC, very personable, and very easy to work with. Carl can do it all! You will not regret hiring him!
Caroline H. - Can't recommend this company enough. We initially wanted to go with a different option but one conversation with JJ flipped our perspectives. The DJ is such a crucial part of the wedding from ceremony to the finish and I did not realize that one bit going into my own wedding. JJ happily talked on the phone with me for over an hour when I was just meeting with DJ vendors. He was personable and very informative. We had Carl as Our DJ and he was fantastic. We got tons of compliments on the entire night's music (not just the dancing) from so many of our guests. He also handled MC duties with finesse. It's easy to look back at your wedding and think about what items you think you overspent or underspent on and your regrets about it. We spent more than we initially thought we might for a DJ but wouldn't trade it for the world. Worth every penny and definitely played a huge part in making our night as special as it was
Teresa S. - I wish I could choose more than three things I loved about working with Carl. He was absolutely amazing. He communicated the entire time, gave suggestions and helped work our timeline. He was very accommodating and was able to quickly adjust to our delayed schedule. My entire family loved his smooth skills and gave so many compliments on both the DJ and MC quality. He also played while my family was cleaning up. He is absolutely amazing and if I ever have another event, I will be reaching out to Essen Entertainment and to him. THANK YOU JJ and CARL!
Meghan D. - Essen Entertainment was the first official vendor I booked and was hands down the easiest decision of my wedding (other than the groom)! JJ was fun to chat with, eager to help, and extremely professional. From the jump, I knew we were in great hands. Our DJ, Carl was fantastic! He was very communicative and did a great job. He was well organized and worked with us to create the vibes we wanted for our wedding. Our guests loved Carl and he was truly outstanding. I would choose him 100x over!
Susan R. - Carl was our DJ and I cannot express how grateful we are for his DJ services at our wedding. He was so thorough and wanted to understand everything that we wanted from start to end at our reception. He made the reception seemless and all we had to do is sit back and wait for him to cue us on everything. I would 100% recommend him-you’ll be so happy that you did!!
Angela P. - We hired Essen Entertainment and DJ Carl for our wedding and he was amazing!! Every single guest came by to tell us that they enjoyed the music so much and it was a favorite part of their day. He lived up to our expectations and then some. He is so skilled and is such a friendly person. I would not hesitate to hire him again if I’m in Texas for another event. I’d give him 10 stars if this rating allowed me to. You won’t be sorry if you hire him.
Daniel W. - HIRE THIS GUY Y’ALL!!! I'm not only a mom, I'm a details person. I wanted the perfect touch to make my baby girls wedding extra special...and Carl made that happen!Of course he showed up early and prepared but more than that, he was very accommodating. He learned a special song my daughter and her fiance picked out and played as her isle walk song...IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! A thousand thanks to you Sir for your talent!
Justine H. - Carl, without a doubt, understood the assignment and fulfilled what we asked for. He went above and beyond with music for the ceremony (mixed perfectly), cocktail hour , and keeping the party going with the reception. I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again.
Keeley W. - Our company has had the pleasure of having Essen Entertainment and Carl perform/DJ at our casual awards ceremony twice. He is professional, very easy to work with in the planning process, and a true talent. Our on-site team noted how his excellent performance kept the energy in the space high for the duration of the program (for a group of attendees that had spent their entire day in challenging workshops…no small feat!). If you’re considering Carl, go ahead and book him! You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend.
Sarah P. - Carl DJ'ed at my wedding and it was the best decision I made! His skills are NEXT LEVEL, and he kept everyone entertained the entire time. Once the dancing started, he kept everyone on the dance floor. Hire this man!!!
Kristy S. - I can’t say enough good things about Carl. He is an amazing musician/DJ. Customized the playlist to our style. Best part is that he was great with the kids. He had them playing percussion instruments and entertained throughout the night. I highly recommend Carl.
Hannah H. - Carl did a phenomenal job setting the mood for a wonderful evening! We were very pleased with his professionalism, great communication and really listened to our “vision” for the ceremony and reception. He had a some ideas to add as well. We also used Essen Entertainment for our photo booth. We are very pleased with our experience with Essen and Carl!"

DJ CHARLES' REVIEWS
Cristina V. - JJ and Charles lived up to their amazing reviews. JJ responded to my inquiry almost immediately and set up a phone call with me by the next day. He answered all my questions and made me feel confident that he would provide great entertainment. He also provided us with a lot of guidance on timeline and song selection. JJ paired us with DJ Charles, who was absolutely amazing. About a month out, Charles had a phone call with us to go over our song selections. He played each one to make sure it was correct, and reviewed fade-outs with us to make sure he ended the song at the correct part. He did not mess up anything during our wedding, and did a great job choosing songs based off the general suggestions we gave and guest requests. We’ve heard multiple times that our wedding was one of the most fun weddings our guests had been too, and JJ and Charles deserve a lot of the credit for that. Thank you so much, Essen Entertainment!
Sam E. - We hired Essen Entertainment for our outdoor wedding, From start to finish a 10/10 fantastic experience. Essen entertainment was super user friendly. They contact you immediately after an inquiry, the price is great, the service is even better. Our DJ was DJ Charles, he was so kind, great at keeping in contact with us, very flexible on any changes or requests we had and most of all he was an outstanding DJ. We will be using DJ Charles for all of our events from now on. Highly recommend this company.
Misty G. - I hired Essen Entertainment for DJ and Photobooth for my daughter's wedding. Let me tell you the did not disappoint. First off, communication with JJ and DJ Charles was top notch. They definitely do not leave you waiting. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Charles. We ran into a few miscommunications with our coordinator and he was right there to save the day. He did not miss a step. Very flawless. He played the best lineup we could have asked for. I love how how he kept our guests attention by being lively and interactive with them. He definitely was my saving grace.I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He truly cares about what he does and giving you the best experience. If you aren't happy neither is he. Our Photobooth attendant, Ivan was amazing as well. So many props. The guests loved that they could get live prints as well as email or text too. The Photobooth was a huge hit. Let's not forget about the Dance on a Cloud. Spectacular!! I can't wait for all our pictures to be ready. They truly were dancing in a cloud. Thank you so much Essen Entertainment for making my daughter and new son-in-laws dream come true! I have one more daughter to go. I'm sure I will be in touch. She caught the bouquet!
Alyssa S. - We had DJ Charles for our wedding and he was awesome! He made the event flow so smooth and kept guests on the dance floor all night. I am so happy we went with Essen Entertainment. From the first call with JJ I could tell they were going to be a great choice for our wedding! Pricing was reasonable as well! I would definitely use them again for another event!
Brandy H. - Soo very glad we went with Essen Entertainment to DJ our wedding! From the beginning the owner, JJ, was very attentive. Charles was our DJ the night or our wedding he was just as great. The From first song he played to the last song our dance floor was packed at the reception, which is exactly what we wanted. Prior to our wedding, we had a phone call with Charles & went over everything we wanted (special songs, entrances, type of music, etc.) & he fulfilled it all. Even after the wedding JJ reached out to make sure everything went well and thanked us again. Very well run business with great staff!
Lori J. - You cannot go wrong booking Essen Entertainment! Charles DJ'ed our wedding and he was honestly amazing. He reached out to me about a month before the big day to discuss our special songs and "must plays." If I didn't have an answer to a question yet, he made sure to follow up with me a couple weeks later to make sure we were on the same page. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long and I almost cried when he called last song because I was not ready for the fun to be over. If you are thinking about booking Essen Entertainment for your wedding or event, just do it and thank me later!
Terri H. - DJ Charles was THE BEST! He was very personable and attentive, and checked in with us throughout the night, to make sure that everything was meeting our needs. Javier managed the photo booth, and he also did a great job! The photo booth was very popular.

Sam M. - Essen Entertainment along with DJ Charles provided the entertainment at our daughter’s wedding reception. What an awesome job DJ Charles did!

From the youngsters to the “still young at heart”, everyone had a great time. They complimented the entertainment many times throughout the night.
I highly recommend Essen Entertainment for your next event. Ask for DJ Charles. You won’t be disappointed!
Lauren B. - Outstanding communication throughout the lead-up to the wedding. Very impressed especially by DJ Charles’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances—like when the flower girl and ring bearer jumped their cue and he had the next song (the bride’s entrance) ready to go. Intuitive about what music would get our crowd on the floor and tuned into changes in the schedule. Really polished and professional!

We worked both with JJ and DJ Charles leading up to our wedding day and both were responsive and receptive to our requests. We really wanted Latin music at our wedding and DJ Charles brought that party to our dance floor! He was also a great MC during dinner and introductions. DJ Charles did a great job of setting up calls prior to our wedding to be sure he understood our vision for the night, and we could tell that he was taking notes, so we weren’t repeating the same conversation each time. As two brides, we were conscious of hiring LGBT-friendly vendors and we can vouch that Essen Entertainment was just that! We were always treated with kindness and excitement about our upcoming wedding. We highly recommend hiring Essen Entertainment and working with DJ Charles for your DJ needs!

DJ CHARLES' REVIEWS
Cristina V. - JJ and Charles lived up to their amazing reviews. JJ responded to my inquiry almost immediately and set up a phone call with me by the next day. He answered all my questions and made me feel confident that he would provide great entertainment. He also provided us with a lot of guidance on timeline and song selection. JJ paired us with DJ Charles, who was absolutely amazing. About a month out, Charles had a phone call with us to go over our song selections. He played each one to make sure it was correct, and reviewed fade-outs with us to make sure he ended the song at the correct part. He did not mess up anything during our wedding, and did a great job choosing songs based off the general suggestions we gave and guest requests. We’ve heard multiple times that our wedding was one of the most fun weddings our guests had been too, and JJ and Charles deserve a lot of the credit for that. Thank you so much, Essen Entertainment!
Sam E. - We hired Essen Entertainment for our outdoor wedding, From start to finish a 10/10 fantastic experience. Essen entertainment was super user friendly.

They definitely do not leave you waiting. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Charles. We ran into a few miscommunications with our coordinator and he was right there to save the day. He did not miss a step. Very flawless. He played the best lineup we could have asked for. I love how how he kept our guests attention by being lively and interactive with them. He definitely was my saving grace.I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He truly cares about what he does and giving you the best experience. If you aren't happy neither is he. Our Photobooth attendant, Ivan was amazing as well. So many props. The guests loved that they could get live prints as well as email or text too. The Photobooth was a huge hit. Let's not forget about the Dance on a Cloud. Spectacular!! I can't wait for all our pictures to be ready. They truly were dancing in a cloud.

DJ CODY's REVIEWS
Randi R. - DJ Cody was AMAZING! We hired him for our wedding from Essen Entertainment and he was so great! When we first talked I told him the “vibe” we wanted for our wedding and told him some genres of music we both liked and he put the entire playlist together! From the pre-ceremony to the ceremony to the cocktail hour and the reception he did it all and got everything and the vibe and music exactly what I was thinking without knowing what I wanted exactly! Thank you so much Cody! I had a few songs for the ceremony and our special dances picked out but he did the rest and it was perfect! He had everyone up and dancing all night long! The pictures were great because everyone was up and on the dance floor even our older family members were out there dancing! It was great everyone had such a blast and is a night we will never forget thanks a lot to DJ Cody! He had the whole place moving and shaking! It was great! He is definitely THE DJ to hire for your wedding… he knows what he’s doing and how to get the whole crowd, every individual, up and having the time of their lives! 5 stars for sure, if you haven’t chosen your DJ yet, or even if you have, switch and get DJ Cody! You will not be disappointed, he truly is so fun and great!
Stephanie C. - We booked DJ Cody through Essen for our November 11th wedding - It was the perfect day and DJ Cody was a huge piece of that! From the very start, he was super in-tune with the vibe and energy we wanted for the reception. He was attentive, friendly, and took in every detail. The flow of the evening through cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance party was absolute perfection. The dance party was AMAZING! The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone said it was the most fun wedding and best dance party they had been to! That was exactly what we had told him we wanted! We can't say enough about Cody and how he helped make our daughter's wedding truly the best day ever!!! We will recommend him and Essen to everyone we know. Thank you for everything
Sarah M. - We cannot express how absolutely perfect Cody was last night!!!! He exceeded every expectation!! That dance door NEVER slowed down!

They are so friendly and easy to work with, making the experience that much more enjoyable. DJ CODY was awesome on th night of and couldn't have asked for more. Do not hesitate to hire them for your event!!
Michael L. - Can't recommend this company enough. We initially wanted to try to save money on our DJ and go with a cheap option but one conversation with JJ flipped our perspectives. The DJ is such a crucial part of the wedding from ceremony to the finish and I did not realize that one bit going into my own wedding. JJ happily talked on the phone with me for over an hour when I was just meeting with DJ vendors. He was personable and very informative. DJ CODY was fantastic. We got tons of compliments on the entire night's music (not just the dancing) from so many of our guests. He also handled MC duties with finesse. It's easy to look back at your wedding and think about what items you think you overspent or underspent on and your regrets about it. We spent more than we initially thought we might for a DJ but wouldn't trade it for the world. Worth every penny and definitely played a huge part in making our night as special as it was

DJ DEAN'S REVIEWS
Amanda H. - Essen Entertainment was absolutely AMAZING to work with!!! They had everything from the perfect uplighting to coordinate with our wedding colors, to photo booths with so many background options!!! I called him just a few months before our wedding. Not being from, or living in Texas, I could only go on the recommendations from our venue. They were HIGHLY recommended! J.J. was very thorough in explaining everything with me from the beginning , and even helped me explain what I wanted! I wanted to be sure that I had paid for a dance floor that was going to be used (not to watch my guests sit at tables and hear crickets in between songs) and DJ DEAN DID NOT DISAPPOINT! . At the end of the night, most of our guests were still there, and wanted more! My husband and I had a great time, and our special day could not have been more memorable!!!! Thank you so much Essen Entertainment (all of you!!!), for making every minute so memorable and worth every penny!!!! You guys were absolutely incredible and I would very highly recommend you to anyone!
Rachel T. - I was very impressed! We used Essen Ent. for the DJ and photo booth. We did not have a lot of specific songs we wanted to play and based off of a list we provided DJ DEAN played perfect music! I would highly recommend the photo booth! I love that unlike most others that only email pictures to you, this one gave two print outs right away! My guests loved it and we all had a lot of fun!
Nicole P. - DJ DEAN of Essen Entertainment kept the vibe of our wedding going all night . We also had the Photo Booth through their services and that was a hit for all of our guest. We enjoyed looking at the photos and seeing all the happy faces of our family and friends. We like it that there is client song portal and we can start planning our timeline ahead of time. We couldn’t really decide what songs we wanted to play for our wedding and their TOP WEDDING song selections helped a lot. We loved doing business with them. Very Professional and flexible. Highly recommended to anyone that is looking for a fun and awesome DJ.
Christina Q. - I could not have dreamed of a better DJ experience than what we got with Essen Entertainment and DJ Dean! They were very helpful during the planning process and very responsive to emails and phone calls. They were very professional of course and prepared. What I couldn't anticipate was how well Dean could read the room and select the perfect songs with almost no input from us. The lighting gave a great party atmosphere. His announcements were easy to hear and follow. The sound levels were just right. I definitely didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't say enough positive things about our DJ experience. Please choose Dean and Essen Entertainment for your wedding! You won't regret it!!!
Brian H. - We had our wedding a few weeks ago. Leading up to the even there are so many things to plan, with Essen Entertainment this was one thing I did not have to even worry about. I love how J.J. walked us through everything from the very beginning and was super easy to communcatte with. During our wedding, DJ Dean did a great job with making sure everything ran smoothly and even checked in with us on some small details. He was so attentive to what my wife and I wanted during our wedding. We had a groomsman and bridesmaid sing our first dance song and Dean was able to help coordinate this so it went smoothly. He even arrived early so they could do a sound check. Everything was exactly how I wanted it and I would recommend to everyone to use Essen Entertainment for their event. Dean really was awesome and made the whole event run smoothly and seamlessly.
Teri L. - Dean was amazing and made my wedding experience beautiful. He made sure I had everything. He is really flexible and works with you to make your day special.

Veronica V. - Dean handled the music, announcements, and photobooth for our wedding.

The photobooth experience was really fun as well. I'd highly recommend him.
Jessica S. - Highly recommend! Dean did a great job working with us on pricing, setting up the music list by activities, and selecting layouts for photo booth.

Sara B. - Essen Entertainment knocked it out of the park with our wedding. We had Dj Dean and he had a great feel for the environment of the people in attendance for filling in the music to fit the mood as well as getting every single one of the obscure songs we wanted and queuing them up to the exact point in the song thay we wanted. Best of all they tossed a few suggestions at us for very small add on that adding magnifying effect. They're wonderful and I couldn't recommend them more.
Brooke R. - Dean was great to work with! He took our vision and ran with it better than we knew how to describe. Great mix of songs if you're not sure what direction to go in and easy to work with.
Hillary G. - Dean went above and beyond for our wedding. The music was great sound quality and was the perfect volume. His equipment is awesome. We highly recommend using Dean. He is super relaxed and made the whole wedding great. He was very professional. He introduced the wedding party and we all felt so comfortable when we entered the reception. Everything was so organized. The systems he uses are great. He has a program where you pick all of your music and can even add songs you don't want to hear. The photo booth and props he had were so much fun. 5 stars all around!
Ashely W. - Dean was awesome! He did a great job announcing the traditional wedding reception things like the bouquet toss, garter toss, shoe game, etc, and even accommodated impromptu karaoke by the groom. He was able to get all of the songs we requested for use during the wedding ceremony and the special songs for the reception.
Brian T. - We used Essen Entertainment for our wedding and they were amazing! Dean was very helpful with the planning and made sure all the right music was played. I was worried the reception might get a little boring if people wouldn't dance, but they kept the party going all night! The photo booth was a great touch and everyone had fun with it. Essen Entertainment definitely helped make our wedding perfect!
Lauren F. - Essen Entertainment was awesome as our wedding DJ! We provided a custom made playlist and Dean mixed in similar songs I hadn’t even thought of that really got the dance floor hopping! The set up of the DJ booth, lights, mics during the vows were all included in the extremely reasonable price. We loved working with Essen Entertainment, who came highly recommended by our wedding venue and we couldn’t agree more!

Brooke R. - Dean was great to work with! He took our vision and ran with it better than we knew how to describe. Great mix of songs if you're not sure what direction to go in and easy to work with.
Hillary G. - Dean went above and beyond for our wedding. The music was great sound quality and was the perfect volume. His equipment is awesome. We highly recommend using Dean. He is super relaxed and made the whole wedding great. He was very professional. He introduced the wedding party and we all felt so comfortable when we entered the reception. Everything was so organized. The systems he uses are great. He has a program where you pick all of your music and can even add songs you don't want to hear. The photo booth and props he had were so much fun. 5 stars all around!
Ashely W. - Dean was awesome! He did a great job announcing the traditional wedding reception things like the bouquet toss, garter toss, shoe game, etc, and even accommodated impromptu karaoke by the groom. He was able to get all of the songs we requested for use during the wedding ceremony and the special songs for the reception.
Brian T. - We used Essen Entertainment for our wedding and they were amazing! Dean was very helpful with the planning and made sure all the right music was played. I was worried the reception might get a little boring if people wouldn't dance, but they kept the party going all night! The photo booth was a great touch and everyone had fun with it. Essen Entertainment definitely helped make our wedding perfect!
Lauren F. - Essen Entertainment was awesome as our wedding DJ! We provided a custom made playlist and Dean mixed in similar songs I hadn’t even thought of that really got the dance floor hopping! The set up of the DJ booth, lights, mics during the vows were all included in the extremely reasonable price. We loved working with Essen Entertainment, who came highly recommended by our wedding venue and we couldn’t agree more!

DJ ADRIAN'S REVIEWS
Tami M. - We had the fortunate opportunity to work with JJ Essen Entertainment and DJ Adrian Molina for the sound, music, and lighting experience at our wedding. JJ Essen Entertainment is a one-stop shop for everything you would need for an enjoyable ceremony and a great party atmosphere for your reception. We chose a set-up from their ala carte menu of services that worked for us and our budget, and were pleased with how everything worked out. We were especially delighted to work with DJ Adrian Molina. He started working with us a week or so before the wedding to help us finalize our music and sound for our special day; from the time guests arrived, through the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, all the way to the last moments at the reception. He was willing to work with us for our special sound requests and even came early to the venue the day of the wedding to set up and do sound checks to make sure everything went smoothly later in the day. Most importantly, DJ Adrian listened to our requests for specific music selections and understood our guest demographics to keep everyone on the dance floor and having a great time! We couldn’t believe how crowded the dance floor stayed throughout the reception and that was because DJ Adrian intuitively knew what this crowd wanted to hear. Guests are still talking about what a great party our reception was. Please call JJ Essen Entertainment and ask for DJ Adrian Molina. He will make your event extraordinary and ensure everyone has a great time.
Jordan L. - Holy moly, DJ Adrian absolutely rocked our world at our wedding. One of my “must haves” at the wedding was a PACKED dance floor, and my goodness Adrian delivered. Multiple guests told me that they’ve never seen a wedding dance floor that packed all night long. He even let me karaoke to my favorite song at one point! Adrian was so accommodating to our guests when they would request a song, which they really appreciated. This is the cherry on top; he recorded several different moments throughout the night and posted the videos the next morning for us! I had no idea he was planning to do this, but I spent HOURS watching the clips reliving my favorite day. I would HIGHLY recommend Essen entertainment and specifically Adrian. They are a team of absolute rockstars!
Myriam J. - I used Essen Entertainment for our DJ services and photo booth. DJ Adrian hosted our night and was phenomenal. From the start until the end- the dance floor was packed all night. We had him follow my Spotify account playlist so that he had an idea of the style we wanted and he did an amazing job! All my guests were impressed and had such a great time. Thank you so much. The photo booth experience for my guests was 10/10. I was too busy and really didn’t utilize the photo booth but they provided copies and a book for us to keep for memories. You went above and beyond and thank you so much!

Richard T. - Now that things have settled down a little bit I wanted to let everyone know that we were beyond happy with DJ Adrian's performance at our wedding. We thought the song selection was great, and even had others compliment us on his work. All out little special requests were met with stride, and throwing that curveball of the chicken dance in there was a hit with all. Our coordinator was being a little testy with some of the vendors at times but he avoided that, but regardless of that we were grateful for your work! Thanks JJ for all your help leading up to the event and Adrian again for playing a big part in our big day and making it perfect!
Jenna B. - Adrian did an Absolutely fabulous job!! He was an amazing job!! We are so incredibly happy that he was our DJ and we will certainly recommend him and Essen Entertainment in the future!

Judith H. - Adrian was an awesome DJ! My guests all loved him! This was one of my biggest worries before the wedding because my family is Hispanic and my husband is white and we wanted both sides to have fun. My parents also kept asking if we were having a good DJ and if he would play the right kind of music, etc. because my side of the family is very picky/judgey when it comes to music because they like to dance. Well, they were all extremely satisfied with him! He was very attentive and if he saw me coming towards him he would run to meet me half way to ask what I needed. He had songs on there to go with our Mexican traditions which I didn’t request before hand because it was a spur of the moment request from my family. He hadn’t done it before I believe but it was done just right! We’re just upbeat types of people who and everything he did was perfect!

The day of the wedding itself our DJ, Adrian showed up ready to make our night one to remember. He was easy to work with and definitely had a role in making our wedding reception FUN! If you're even considering a DJ, I would highly highly recommend Essen Entertainment. They're professional, fun and well versed in wedding receptions!
