DJ CHARLES' REVIEWS

​
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!

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!

Dustin T. - JJ was receptive to our wishes and requests in the initial consult phone call, and had some good pointers as well. DJ Charles was very professional as we planned the event, and put on quite the show for us! Many of our friends and family told us that it’s the most fun wedding reception they’ve been to!

Nicole M. - Essen Entertainment was assigned to us as our DJ in our inclusive package at The Carriage House in Conroe, and boy are we so happy they did! JJ has an extremely organized and easy approach on planning the entertainment for your wedding. Communication was excellent and we never once felt in the dark while getting ready for our big day! DJ Charles absolutely nailed it! He showed up and made sure our music for our ceremony was all set up and so perfect! He then took the party over to cocktail hour where he set up an additional speaker for our guests to be inside and outside. We also had a list for him for dinner and the reception. He did an exceptional job at blending our music as well as guests requested music. He made it an absolute blast! We had many guests come up to us saying it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, we thank DJ Charles for that!! Thank you Essen Entertainment for bringing extreme professionalism and fun to our wedding!

Breanna G. - From start to finish, it has been the most pleasant experience working with Essen Entertainment. JJ was extremely helpful and accommodating from our first interaction and made sure that we had what we wanted for our wedding day. We were lucky enough to have DJ Charles as the DJ for our wedding and he made sure he knew exactly what we were looking for and he sure delivered! We even pulled some last minute changes on him (sorry!) and he rolled right with the punches. Can't recommend Essen Entertainment enough!

Michael I. - JJ Essen was very clear and responsive during our initial meetings and helped guide us through the process. DJ Charles was organized when managing our song requests and was able to make suggestions when we were unsure. He managed the evening well and accommodated several last-minute requests. All our guests loved the music and had a terrific time. Overall, an extremely easy company with which to work. We would definitely hire them again
Mikayla F. - We had DJ Charles at our wedding. He was incredibly easy to work with, so flexible and soo kind. He kept the party going the entire night. Arrived on time and did everything that was promised. He was by far the easiest vendor to work with the entire day. He even took a bunch of sweet videos of our day and sent them to us the next day! He kept our whole day on track and took every little change in stride. I highly recommend him!!

Katherine M. - Charles was awesome! There was always constant communication regarding our timeline, music selection and just what we expected out of our DJ. I gave him all the songs my fiancé and I wanted and he made it happen. This was one part of the wedding process that was stress free! I appreciate him and JJ so much for everything they did! HIGHLY

Savanna G. -Charles was a very receptive and professional DJ. He was great at communication, and was very adaptable to different songs on the phone or on the dance floor. He knew how to read the audience, and was well worth the price.

​Marcela V. - We had a wonderful time hiring Essen Entertainment for our music needs! 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!

Juan N-. I am so thankful I found Essen Entertainment through our venue's Website! From the start JJ was so kind and extremely fast in getting our DJ booked for the wedding. Since my wife and I are bilingual we really wanted a bilingual DJ and JJ recommended DJ Charles! He was amazing all night and was so easy to work with. We are originally from Colombia so we danced all night and DJ Charles kept on playing the best songs! Highly recommend working with Essen Entertainment and if you get DJ Charles you are going to have a blast! Lastly, DJ Charles was also kind enough to take a bunch of awesome videos of all our guests dancing!

Heather H. We knew from the beginning that DJ Charles and Essen Entertainment would not disappoint! First, and an important factor, was the fact that JJ, the owner, called us, instead of sending an email, to talk about what we wanted, to help us think about a timeline and also to find the perfect DJ for our night. We have a very diverse group of friends and Charles did an excellent job making everyone happy and out on the dance floor all night! The energy from him and the music will always be unforgettable and our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had that night. Thank you DJ Charles for an amazing party!

Jessi T. - My husband and I had DJ Charles as our DJ for the night, he was so personable, listened to exactly what kind of music we wanted throughout the night to set the atmosphere.

Sarah H. - DJ Charles was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! The weeks coming up to the wedding he was very helpful. He had brought up things for the wedding that I hadn’t thought about like the cake cutting song, the bouquet toss, and others. I was caught up with all the other details while planning that I hadn’t thought about the smaller ones! I was able to put together some playlists of my own and he was more than willing to work with them. He played all the hits we had asked for and kept the dance floor going the whole night! He even was kind of enough to video tape my ceremony walk down for me and sent it to me. I truly appreciated that because we didn’t hire a videographer. 10/10! Thank you so much!

Liya O. - DJ Charles and JJ Essen were amazing during the wedding planning and on the day of! JJ knew that Charles would be perfect for us from the first conversation and he was absolutely right! Both JJ and Charles were very professional, accommodating of our Indian customs and requirements, and made our wedding day extremely stress free. He took the time to get the pronunciations correct for our wedding party and was very flexible the day of! I highly recommend Essen Entertainment for all your future events.

DJ ADRIAN'S REVIEWS


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!

Rachel S - JJ was so easy to communicate with and answered all my questions. DJ Adrian was my DJ for the wedding. DJ Adrian was amazing!! I was so worried about the day running smoothly because I didn’t have a day of coordinator but he made things so easy. He answered all my questions and made changes last minute.

Thank you so much for making my day special!

Jenna S. - Adrian was the most amazing DJ! His timing was perfect, song choice and when to play the song was amazing and he was able to get all our guests continuously dancing on the dance floor!

Kaylee B. - Our DJ (Adrian) did an amazing job keeping the dance floor alive! He helped us so much since we did not hire a wedding coordinator - he made sure the night flowed perfectly! When I threw a random request or idea he took it immediately with a smile. Extremely professional, extremely responsive. Very pleased!!!!

Lindsey L. - JJ and his team, including our wedding night DJ, DJ Adrian we’re all so amazing to work with! There was one night I had emailed Adrian with about 10 questions, I’ll never forget he instantly called me and we hashed out all my questions for answers in 10 minutes! They are truly the experts you need for your event. They bring all their own equipment and you can even do a Go-Bo light with your initials or some type of design for your wedding or event!

Dalio O. - Such a good experience with Essen Entertainment. They are great at communicating and answering any questions you have. Adrian did such a good job testing out the room and seeing which songs to play next.

​

Natalie F. -Oh my goodness! Where do I even start?! Adrian was AWESOME! I have been to quite a few weddings, but ours was absolutely amazing. He is extremely easy to work with, he is organized and he is always smiling! Adrian listened to everything we asked of him. He played all the best songs and when I, the bride, didn't know one of the dances, he got down on the dance floor and taught us all! I can't say enough about how thankful I am for his services. Highly highly recommend booking with him! 10 out of 10!


Josaphine H. - Essen Entertainment was amazing. JJ answered any question I had and DJ Adrian was fantastic. He read the room and knew just what to play when to keep things moving. I had unique requests for my processional and bridal march and they executed perfectly at exactly the time I wanted. Everyone had a great time - thank you so very much!

Richard T. - You may have planned out the perfect venue, decorations, etc, but the outcome of the actual event is at the hands of your DJ. Beyond glad we chose the Essen Team. DJ Adrian did a phenomenal job at keeping the party going, making the event all we could have hoped for and more! Would highly recommend trusting these guys on your big day.

Melissa S. - DJ Adrian was amazing!! He was very easy to work with, communicated with us throughout our wedding planning, and ensured we had the best experience throughout the night. He was able to keep the party going and helped make our night so fun and memorable!

Baylee N. - Dj Adrian was 100% the best guy for the job! He kept every single person dancing all night long. Our dance floor was never empty and I got endless compliments from people of all ages about how wonderful our music was. He even got out on the dance floor himself! Amazing person to work with.

Danielle P. - DJ Adrian kept the party going last night at my wedding! Very attentive and make sure that he gets it right and he does!! Didn’t disappoint! Thank you Adrian

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!

Jennifer H - Adrian was awesome! He played everything that was asked and filled in the blanks with the perfect music to compliment our tastes. He also graciously put up with our "shenanigans". If you're in need of a great, personable dj, he's your guy!

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! My guests had a ton of fun with him and he was dancing and having fun as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone! He is super friendly and helpful!

Louisa S. - Nothing but good things to say how our night went with DJ Adrain. A great mix between English and Spanish music had people on their feet. Thanks for everything and helping our day be that more special.

DJ KOERT REVIEWS

Jennifer C. – DJ Koert did a fantastic job at our wedding! We want to thank JJ and Essen Entertainment for such a great experience and Korea for guiding our reception so smoothly and making all of our visions a reality. The garter toss was perfect!!!! It was a real pleasure meeting them and I will certainly be recommending you to the future brides in need of a great DJ!

 Amy J. – We hired a DJ to be part of our bar mitzvah to entertain our kids. We need someone who was not too loud and listened to what we wanted. Koert listened and followed my son’s desires. He got into the spirit by dressing up for our Chicago Cubs baseball theme. He had the music we wanted.

Jessica H. – We felt the decision to hire Essen Entertainement was easy after our first call with JJ. We would get the most variety that we wanted rather than a band. My only concerns were that by hiring a DJ they would just play what they liked and talk too much and be cheesy. DJ Koert completely eased that concern!, We loved his flexibility he has and we heard all the songs we wanted. If you want a worry free experience then Essen Entertainemnt and DJ Koert is the man for the job.

​Sandra D. – Koert entertained for the 50th anniversary of my parents. We wanted a DJ that plays a variety of music everyone would enjoy. He was setup and ready on time. Dressed perfectly. very friendly, and right on que. Announced the parents arrival, start of the buffet, the parents special dance and give us a surprise CD of music I he made for us to give the parents as a remembrance! We we’re very happy with him. He’s great. Make it clear what you want for your dancing pleasure, he can do a wide variety.

Jessica L. – We are so thankful for DJ Koert! The music was wonderful and everyone had a great time. The ladies dance at the beginning was a perfect way to start the evening.

Matt & Shelly M. – What a job well done by DJ Koert at our wedding! Our reception on July 30th went great and a big part of that was Essen Entertainment services and Koert as the DJ. We’ve heard back from a bunch of the guests and they all had positive things to say about the music and overall flow of the day

Sheila H. – I was concerned if a DJ could keep guests engaged and provide variety and be worth the money but that worry was put aside once we hired Essen Entertainment. We liked how DJ Korea kept people dancing, kept the schedule moving and did great mixing of great music. Hire DJ Koert, you will not find anyone better!

Fran B.  -  Before hiring a DJ we had hear horror stories of them not show up or be late. That they wouldn’t keep the party lively and the kids happy. We had never hired a DJ before but J.J. at Essen Entertainment made this process SO EASY!  Turns out, I worried for nothing!. Our wedding was perfect and that was in large part bc of JJ and Koert! 

Grace L. – A wedding is a big celebration that needed good music to dance to.  Koert played all of our great music, lots of interaction, and made it an amazing time for our family and friends. He made everyone dance and no one had a bad time. Everyone was tired from dancing all night.

Candy R. – We took great comfort in knowing DJ Koert was our DJ because we saw him at another wedding reception. He was very good at keeping the reception flowing. We had a mix of age groups and you played something for everyone. He has a talent for mixing it up.! He plays the type of music you recommend and has a talent to keep people on the dance floor.

Dan R. – Essen Entertainment came recommended by one of my friends and we are so happy we chose them!.

I can honestly recommend his services, great personality and guaranteed fun time!

 Wyatt J. – Before we hired anyone we wanted to get a DJ  who was not too goofy. J.J. at Essen Entertainment was so helpful and put us with DJ Koert! He got everyone dancing and was perfect. He played the chicken dance at my Dad’s request and got everyone dancing with him. DJ Koert is very good and even gave us a cd of all our favorite songs we pre-requested.

DJ MAX'S REVIEWS

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.

Joe M. - Absolutely enjoy having DJ MAX !.  The music is always crowd pleasing and never too loud. He always has whatever karaoke song anyone asks for. He always involves the whole crowd. It's always a great time. Look forward to seeing you everytime youre booked with us. Looking forward to seeing again at The Park soon. I think i may have over used the word always. Lol. But you get my point...

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


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!!!

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!!!

Daniel H. - DJ MAX WAS AWESOME! Thank you so much! You made our wedding a huge party and it was a night we will never forget! All the extra work and attention you gave us was truly appreciated and we cannot thank you enough! Thanks also to JJ at Essen Entertainment for always being there for us for anything we needed during the planning process. Over all amazing experience and Highly recommended!
​

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. He made our day absolutely 💯  perfect i couldn't imagine anyone else being our DJ. Thank you for being our DJ and making our New Year's Eve wedding memorable.


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. The Dancing on Cloud Effect was the best. I have asthma and fog machines kill me. I cant thank them enough for driving 4 hours to DJ my wedding. They are so much more than a DJ!!! Thank you again for everything.

Anais S. - Max was absolutely amazing. He was very attentive and worked with us every step of the way and ALWAYS had our guests out on the dance floor. Truly was an amazing time with him.

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".

Jenny P. -DJ Max  has come out to Wallisville, Texas for a year now and has been our #1 DJ for The Park Bar & Grill. 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. They made the process easy and fun, even though we were planning from across the country. They handled everything professionally yet were light hearted and funny. 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 SCOTT'S REVIEWS

Matthew W. - Scott from Essen Entertainment was a wonderful DJ and made our night really special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ for their wedding. Everyone commented on how great they thought the music was. We really liked his thoroughness before our wedding in helping us choose songs, sorting out our timeline, and making us feel comfortable throughout the whole thing. He worked with us on music cue's throughout the night, so we knew where we needed to be, which made our day flow seamlessly. We were so glad to be paired with Scott and we can't recommend him enough!

Velarie J. - I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! Literally the best & easiest vendors to work with. Not only do they reach out ‘ let you know when you have payments coming up but they are incredible at communicating. We hired the string trio & DJ Scott! Both absolutely incredible! The string trio sounded so beautiful & added a beautiful touch. Scott was such an amazing person to work with! Brought the energy and knew how to get every single person at our wedding dance! Hire them if they are not booked already!!
​

Jason Y. - Oh man, where do I begin. So easy to work with and such a fun group! Scott. If I could give him 20/10 I would! He was amazing in every aspect! He took all of the music ideas we wanted and executed them perfectly! The dance floor was never empty and the night went on and on! He was the extra pair of hands he promised he’d be and so much more! Always checking in and making sure we were taken care of and having fun! I cannot thank him enough for the perfect night!

Cheryl T.- Hiring Scott for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He is professional, organized and very talented at what he does. He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night which was exactly what we wanted! He definitely took our party to the next level and catered to all ages and musical tastes without playing anything we hated. We truly can not recommend Scott and Essen Entertainment enough!

Melissa M. - Hands down can not say enough great things about this company! Scott was our DJ and he made sure to go over all the key points and the songs that we truly wanted to hear! He kept the dance floor going and the energy flowing! He coordinated with our wedding planner and it was all so seamless! Everyone who attended asked when our next party was so we could relive the night! To say our guests including ourselves had a blast is an understatement! Thank you JJ for pairing us with the best DJ for our wants and needs!!

Sandra T. - We had Scott as our DJ for our wedding, and he did an exceptional job. He listened to our concerns and requests and pulled them off without missing a beat. He set the exact right tone that we were looking for and we had an amazing time. We even had a specific style and genre of music that we wanted to have played during the cocktail hour and dinner, and with only my minimal description he nailed it on the head. He did exactly what we wanted and the day would not have been the same without him. I would recommend him and Essen Entertainment to anyone.


Aaron G. - Essen Entertainment was wonderful! Each contact was personal and not a form email, we really felt in control, yet guided by experts. DJ Scott was a blast at our wedding and really got the night going! Our wedding had a few semi-last minute changes and I never felt as if we were putting DJ Scott out, he was excited to make our evening work. I wholeheartedly recommend Both Essen Entertainment and DJ Jerry to ANYONE looking to make their wedding perfect.

Drea D. - What a fun night. DJ Scott was awesome. He kept our crowd dancing all night long. He interacted very well with our guest and never missed a beat when it came to announcements or toasts or anything of that sort. My little cousin was there and at some point during the night, he had let him get up behind the Dj booth and let him do some scratches. Which he thinks was the most awesome thing ever and now wants a Dj booth set up for Christmas so he can pursue his new dream of being a Dj when he grows up. Thank you so much for keeping our party crowd going and making our night fun and filled with music. Javier, the Photo Booth ROCKED. We now have sooo many incredibly funny and awesome pictures that we got to look at in our scrap book the next morning. They're priceless and something that we will cherish forever. If you are considering whether or not to have a Photo Booth for your wedding, DO IT. It was entirely worth it. JJ, thank you for taking the time out and having an initial consultation with me when I had found y'alls info on the Knot. I had made my mind up before we had ended our conversation that Essen Entertainment was going to be our pick.

Gwen G. - Fantastic upfront planning! J.J. was so helpful!  DJ Scott was awesome and he had great communication through the whole process. Not to mention getting my guests up and dancing all night!!! I can’t say enough good things about Essen Entertainment, they helped make my dream wedding a reality!

Lisa D. - Scott was absolutely amazing!!!! He kept our guests on the dance floor and nobody wanted to leave at the end of the night! Jerry accommodated all of our requests and was completely flexible on timing when we were running behind. One month after the wedding and I'm still hearing compliments on our DJ. Highly recommend - you wont go wrong

Denise S. - DJ Scott was very professional and delighted us with the music, mood , and atmosphere that we desired. He was easy and pleasant to work with and helped make our wedding day memorable and fun!

Bryce S. - 
DJ Scott did an amazing job to help celebrate our special day. Had the guests on their feet dancing the night away from start to finish.

Stephanie R. - We hired Scott from Essen Entertainment for our wedding and He was a joy to work with, and helped make our day a great success. He was incredibly organized and professional: handled all the A/V logistics on all three floors of the venue, ensured that we had a backup mic during the ceremony, and kept the entire evening running on time from cocktail hour to cake cutting to last dance. His music selection was superb, reflecting our personality but also adjusted to the energy in the crowd. He kept the whole party on the dance floor until the venue closed at midnight We would recommend Shaun to anyone who wants an unforgettable, fun, and flawless wedding

Trish F. - We had Scott as the DJ for our wedding, and he did a wonderful job! He worked with the other vendors well to make sure everything ran smoothly, and was able to adapt to the last minute schedule changes we ended up having throughout the night. He played a great mix of music that got everyone dancing, making sure to pass any strange requests by us before they were played and was professional to all he encountered. Before the wedding, we had filled out a form with all of our song/genre/event requests, and the week of the wedding, I had a phone call with Jerry where he ran through all the details of the wedding so that everything would be perfect for the day of. Thanks Essen Entertainment for making our wedding day amazing!

Carrie Z .- We had Scott as our DJ and he was fantastic! I didn't realize how much I would need him until he was there problem solving and making sure things went smoothly. I always thought that DJs just played music and make corny jokes to entertain the crowd, but Jerry was so much better than that. He was alway touching base making sure we were happy and helping us keep our wedding day on schedule, playing all the music we liked, pumping up the party but also bringing it down smoothly when it was time for the night to end. I could not be happier. 

Sarah N. - I used DJ Scott, and I am so happy I found him. I had been to a couple weddings with horrible DJs so I was really picky when I was selecting my DJ. You can tell he's been in the business for quite a while, and his experience is very comforting, he led us through everything so smoothly. He really helped make the wedding and reception flow very well, and everyone was responding to the music he played. All of our guests kept saying how wonderful he is! I couldn't be happier with the services he provided us!

Rachel I. - Scott was great to work with! We didn’t have much of a crowd that enjoys to dance but he really interacted well with everyone and was a blast. All the guests commented on how fun he was. Essen Entertainment was awesome to work with and if you can book them…DO IT!

Ashley P. - Scott was our DJ and he did AMAZING! The DJ is so so important and music choices for a reception can really make or break the party. Jerry totally made our party! He was spot on with every song and with no exaggeration at all, I can say he had EVERY guest on the dance floor for most of the night. It addition to his amazing DJ'ing, Scott also MC'd to help keep the night moving along and transition from one event to the next. He never missed a beat and had everything moving smoothly from the moment we said "I do" to our very last "goodbye"

Stephanie D. - DJ Scott is a fantastic, professional, and fun DJ. He was super organized and easy to work with during the planning process. On the day of my wedding, he handled everything from the music, to the mics, to the announcements. Multiple guests complimented his music selections and I LOVED the music. He took the suggestions we put together and created a wonderful musical backdrop to our evening. My family isn't big on dancing but I saw them get up a few times to dance and everyone had a great time. Thank you, Scott!

Henry P. - My wife and I had heard great things about Essen Entertainment Events so we decided to give them a try. I will say everything we heard was spot on, and they were even better than we expected. Essen was very professional with everything they did, and if we ever had any questions they were very quick to get back to us with helpful answers. The day of our wedding was seamless. DJ SCOTT helped organize and make sure everything was moving along the way it should have. When it came time to dancing the music was amazing and exactly what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Essen Entertainment for any party or wedding you have coming up.

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!

Yolanda P. - DJ Fily did an amazing job at our wedding! He is extremely professional by following the set schedule and playing the requested genres. His team was able to read the crowd and play songs tailored to our guests. His expertise allowed him to combine our two cultures so that everyone could enjoy.

Erica M. - Brian Ring 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, Brian Ring is the man for you!

Catherine F. - Brian 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. Brian 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!

Stephanie T. - We had Brian 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!

Olivia B. - We had DJ Brian 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 Brian Ring 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! Brian 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 Brian Ring 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 Brian. 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 Brian Ring.

Chelsea F. - Brian 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 :)

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 Brian. 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!!!!

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 DJwas Brian, 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 Brian Ring. 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 DJ Brian for our wedding and we could not possibly put into words how satisfied and thankful we are for choosing them. Brian 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!

Lauren G. - Brian 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 Brian and Essen Entertainment for helping to make our day even better!

Rafael R. - Brian 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 Brian 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 Brian as a DJ for any event.

Lauren S. - Brian Djed our wedding and it couldn’t have gone better. His attention to detail was second to none and he kept the dance floor full all night. I couldn’t recommend a better professional! He’s awesome!

Jennifer M. - Brian has DJed 8 events for us over the past four years. Everyone always compliments him on the music he plays and how he is always positive and energetic. When you need a DJ, Brian is your guy!

Amy D. - The kids had a blast! Brian made sure to play the songs the kids requested and he was always respectful by playing edited versions of the songs. The kids were entertained and they all had a great time! Thanks Brian!

Jose A.-Brian’s attention to detail helped the event go smoothly. His event planning helped us plan the perfect evening. He played music for everyone to make sure everyone had a great time. The energy of the night was perfect in everyway.

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 Brian, 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 Brian followed up to review the songs and then continued to follow up to make sure we were comfortable with everything. This type of service is rare to find and that is why I HIGHLY recommend Essen Entertainment!

Danielle B. -Brian did an amazing job at our wedding! It couldn't have gone more perfect. He made sure the sound was just right. Had everything together. Called us 2+ times weeks in advance to make sure he had all the information to make it the best night possible. I can't say enough good things about them! If you're wanting someone to make sure y'all have a good time that night, definitely consider them!!

DJ VICTOR's REVIEWS

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.

I would highly recommend Essen Entertainment to anyone getting married

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

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.

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 Ivan. The music was talked about a lot and he was on top of everything. You will not regret going with Essen Entertainment and Dj Ivan

Jessica S.- Victor is Great DJ! He recently DJ’d at my wedding in February and the entire night he had people out on the dance floor. He had a great mix of music and he was very professional! Look no further for a great DJ

Hillary W. - DJ Victor the absolute best!! He checked in with us throughout the wedding, helped us organize the ceremony, and made sure we were all having an amazing time! We could not have asked for anything better. You need him at your wedding!!!

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 Scott 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!

Nick R. - Working with Essen Entertainment was great! They set us up with our DJ Victor who was great! He made sure we stuck to the timeline that I set with him during our meeting. He was professional and made sure to play songs that got people on the dance floor. He set up and was ready to go before my guests arrived for the reception. I would recommend that anyone in the Texas are looking for a DJ, book with Essen Entertainment!

Ashley P
. - DJ London was AMAZING!!! She really knows how to throw a party! Everyone at the wedding could not stop raving about her! I am so very happy we choose Essen Entertainment for out DJ/ Coordinator/ Photo-booth needs. Everyone at the company was very helpful the whole way through, they really do care and want you to have the best day!

Alecia S.  - DJ LONDON was absolutely AMAZING. Every guest was on the dance floor having a great time. She jumped on the dance floor with the kids and made sure our family friendly wedding was enjoyable by everyone. All of my guests were complementing her and how well she did. From the planning phase, to the music choices, announcements during the event and her overall enthusiasm, she definitely made our wedding one to remember. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

 Jordan C. - Two weeks before my wedding I had to find a new DJ since the one I had originally hired was not following through on commitments. We found Essen Entertainment and were set up with the most wonderful DJ- DJ London!! Both the owner, J.J., and DJ London were so responsive and accommodating from the beginning. My husband and I immediately loved DJ London’s energy and just had a great feeling she would make our wedding a blast. And she was very focused on making sure our wedding atmosphere reflected our personalities. Come wedding time, she did not disappoint!! She far exceeded our expectations. She had everyone engaged and having fun from the beginning. She was out in the dance floor getting everyone involved, dancing, making jokes. She created the fun and exciting atmosphere I have always pictured for our wedding. We had at least 50 percent of our guests mention what a great DJ we had. I cannot day enough good things about her!! Definitely hire DJ London for your event!!

Chelsea S. - The.Best.Ever! Words cannot express the gratitude I have for J.J. and DJ London.. our DJ for our wedding reception. From first phone call, J.J. was so kind and expressed interest and excitement for our wedding even though they've  done hundreds before. It may be common to find a DJ to get a crowd excited to dance the night away but that is not what made London exceptional!  I owe London a huge debt of gratitude for making my evening evening even more special than it already was! People were calling it the best reception they’d ever attended! Highly Recommended!

Sarah G. - We had the true pleasure of working with DJ London with Essen Entertainment for our wedding. She was so easy to work with and was great with communication. One of my biggest worries was making sure the music was on point the whole night and with London, you need not worry! She can read the room better than any DJ I've seen and kept us going all night long. Our guests to this day say we had the best wedding DJ and we couldn't agree more. I would work with her again in heartbeat!


Michelle D. - For my wedding, we had DJ London as our DJ and she was awesome. Did everything we asked and even when guest were begging her to play things we had asked not to be played she stood her ground haha. She was so easy to work with and I heard no complaints regarding the music. She also was on time and set up in the for the ceremony (we used just audio) and was very professional throughout everything. Essen Entertainment as a whole was awesome to work with, very accommodating and reasonable in price. I’d recommend them (and London) to anyone look for their wedding!

Steven E. - We absolutely loved working with DJ London and Essen Entertainment. The music played and how much fun you have at a wedding is something we always remember - and we wanted to have a DJ that played our taste of music and kept everyone having a great time. DJ London was amazing - played great music and kept everything stress free. She was very organized, and even helped us make changes to our wedding timeline to make everything go as smoothly as possible. She was great to work with and very highly recommend!


Sarah O.- DJ London was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was not only fun, but progressed smoothly. The company was entirely accommodating of our requests and prompt with their communication. We loved working with Essen Entertainment!

Alexis P.-  We used Essen Entertainment to DJ my wedding in November and they were phenomenal! JJ was really good at communicating and DJ London was great!! She was energetic, tailored the music to our requests and helped us build out a timeline. I would highly recommend them!


Shirley T. - From start to finish, Essen Entertainment was extremely professional and absolutely amazing. After our first talk, we instantly knew we wanted to work with them. We were then assigned DJ London as our DJ and we definitely lucked out! She was amazing from start to finish. We had an initial phone call, met in person and a phone call right before the big day. She made us feel at ease and had the best attitude (and knew how to handle a crazy bride like myself. :) ). She was fantastic and all my guests were super impressed with her. We never had a dead dance floor and in fact, we had too many people on the dance floor that there was overflow around the dance floor because everyone couldn't fit on it. We can't say thank you enough to her  for making our day the best day we've ever had. We HIGHLY recommend them if you go the DJ route!! They are the absolute best!

DJ IVAN'S REVIEWS

Sarah B. - I just wanted to reach out and say thank you guys for helping us put together the entertainment for our wedding. Everything turned out wonderful! JJ, we really appreciated the way you called us the first day and went through the timeline and what to expect. It made us feel very comfortable with the whole set-up and took an important part of the event off our plate and gave us a sense of relief that we could pull it off with so little time.Ivan, you were absolutely fantastic. We are so grateful that you were available for that night. You did a really great job managing the timeline and our guests so everything could flow smoothly. We are super appreciative of the way you would check in with us constantly so we could do all the little events we wanted in a timely manner, and we really appreciate all the advice you gave us. The playlist you put together was absolute fire. Everything was perfect! All of our guests had so much fun. We have received nothing but compliments about everything, but we know we couldn’t have done it without you guys. We will definitely recommend you guys any chance we get in the future. Thank you so much for making it one of the most memorable nights of our lives.

Kelcey L. - From day one, JJ was easy to reach and extremely helpful in all aspects of our wedding/planning. He was more than happy to answer all our questions and walk us through each step. He gave us a layout on how to pick songs for each portion of the wedding; ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing. Our DJ for the wedding day was Ivan. He was there for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. When we started talking to the DJ, they mentioned that they are the vendor that's going to set the mood for the whole wedding which was absolutely right. Ivan brought life to our wedding! He was on top of announcements, had all the songs we requested, and even asked permission before playing requested songs that were on our "no play" list. He stayed in constant communication with the wedding planner and the venue management to make sure everything went smoothly. We loved working with JJ ESSEN and were so thankful for DJ Ivan

Carlos A. - We reached out to JJ based on the great reviews on theknot.com. Let me just stay they lived up to every great review!!! JJ contacted us to make sure we had all our questions answered. Having never planned a wedding before, we were clueless as to timelines, music vibes, etc. He gave us so much knowledge while getting to know our vision as a couple. After getting to know our vision, he realized we would be a better match for a DJ who he contracted. He had us get in touch with him and made sure we meshed well before completely handing us off to DJ Ivan. I would recommend JJ to anyone! Ivan was a godsend! He was available for any concerns or questions. HE BROUGHT THE PARTY!! And he made sure it lasted till the last minute. During our wedding, Ivan adjusted our timeline based on how we were feeling in that moment. When the garter toss came, my wife hadn’t eaten and Ivan made sure to hold off on the toss until we were ready. He made sure we were taken care of and enjoying every moment of our wedding. We danced all night and even had glow sticks/party hats/LED glasses for him to toss during the reception. The DJ makes all the difference in your wedding and I could not be more happier at the company we chose. 10000% recommend.

Marion G. - Essen Entertainment was an amazing DJ vendor for our wedding! DJ Ivan was our DJ for the wedding and he did a great job!! The one thing I wanted out of a DJ was to make sure that everyone was always dancing and he did just that! I had guests tell me they never left the dance floor and we also received so many compliments about the music he played. Everyone loved the mix of genres and classics! From the beginning, JJ was extremely helpful and gave us very detailed information about their services and what to expect. They also did a great job at communicating whenever we would text or email them. I definitely recommend Essen Entertainment

Chelsea M. - DJ Ivan did such a great job with our wedding!! We went with a new orelans style reception which a bit of our guests were not familiar with but Ivan did fantastic with casually making the necessary announcements to guide those who werent used to the flow of that style! Then once the dancing started it never stopped! We also used the photobooth which was a huge hit for our guests to add an extra layer of fun!!

Lezlee  M. - The communication with JJ was great during the planning process. DJ Ivan was able to make special requests happen and edited together our first dance songs. DJ Ivan did an amazing job during the wedding and kept everything running smoothly! I would highly recommend Essen Entertainment!

Heather T. - DJ Ivan did a wonderful job! He was accepting when we sent a very last minute reception intro song and did a good job of keeping the party going. He was also helpful with the photobooth. JJ was also such a great contact and so helpful in the beginning of the process.

Melinda L. - JJ introduced us to our DJ very early on in our planning process. This allowed us to get started right away in discussing the music and suggestions. DJ Ivan was not only a breeze to work with but he was great at entertaining our guests. I’ve heard from multiple people that our wedding was the best they had ever been to and I credit DJ Ivan for that! In hiring a DJ, it’s important to hire someone who is collaborative in working with other vendors and your event coordinator. For this reason I strongly urge anyone and everyone to hire DJ Ivan for their event.

Allie P. - We worked alongside DJ Ivan for a wedding in 2021 and had Ana amazing experience. He was professional, fun and great at giving directions on the mic and helping the wedding flow. Highly recommend!

Marcus M. - We had an amazing time at our wedding and owe a great deal to Essen Entertainment for that. Essen Entertainment listened to our needs and provided us with the excellent DJ Ivan. DJ Ivan was incredible and responsive and so professional. We could not have had a better experience. DJ Ivan was extremely punctual and set up an incredible wireless system before any guests arrived. He put our needs above all else during the reception, allowing us to change gears in music when we asked and stuck to our playlist as requested. He was extremely knowledgeable of all kinds of music and played appropriate music for all parts of our wedding. DJ Ivan was also incredibly flexible. Our wedding experienced some rain and he was able to arrange his equipment in the limited space we had without intruding on our guest's space; he was also ready with an alternate microphone that worked better in the rain. He was truly prepared for everything.
We highly recommend Essen Entertainment!


Jessica S. - DJ Ivan and J.J.! Thank you for doing an amazing job on our wedding! Not only did you both have a positive and professional attitude throughout the few days we had to quickly plan out our music selection, but you went above and beyond for me (the very busy and overwhelmed bride, lol) to help figure out all the little details that made our wedding reception an absolutely fantastic evening! We received compliments from all of our guest on what a fantastic job you did and on the perfect selection of music. Ivan, you also did a fantastic job as DJ, coordinating the evening and making sure things moved along smoothly without a hitch. We can't say enough good things about our entire experience and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a quality DJ.  Thank you again and God bless.
The Sterling Family​


​Brandi R. - JJ was so great to work with, it was definitely an easy sell from our first conversation with him. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and easy to communicate with. He gave us such great resources to help aid in figuring out what music we wanted and asked us great questions about things we hadn't thought about. DJ Ivan was hyping us up since the first call we had with him. He was offering any help he could and had a great playlist for our wedding. He was also a great MC keeping the night flowing. Everyone had a great time dancing! I would definitely recommend JJ and his team for a successful night!

Lizbeth C. - When things go wrong, and I mean they will at the wedding, especially with the COVID 19 situation, details and initiative are important. Lets just say that the morning of my wedding things went wrong. Fortunately for me,  DJ Ivan showed up even earlier and noticed the situation and took the initiative to take over the timeline and make it happen! He made sure details were covered and important moments were not missed! The experience and motivation was seen through out. Many compliments were given because of my DJ. Definitely worth your money! Especially with a difficult crowd and the pandemic in the mist. My wedding was amazing! Everyone had a great time too! Thank you for the tremendous work!!! I rate Essen Entertainment and DJ Ivan 5 stars! Not just because he did a great job at my wedding; but because I compared other DJ's weddings and noticed the difference! I was just glad that the investment was worth it!!!!

Emily D. - Dj Ivan was amazing! Both JJ and Ivan were very professional and made my night extremely stress free. I can’t brag on DJ Ivan enough. He took the time to talk with me to make sure my reception was absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to use them for future events

Kristen T - DJ Ivan was absolutely amazing, he couldn’t have done a better job at making our wedding everything we wanted it to be. Both me and my now husband have such a wide variety of music taste and he truly was able to play all kinds and make it flow perfectly! So impressed. The photo booth also was a perfect addition to our wedding! I can’t say enough great things about DJ Ivan and this company in general. Save yourself the stress and book them!❣️

Will H. - DJ Ivan was very professional and easy to work with. He didn't miss a single cue and read the room perfectly - the music was perfect. 100% would recommend Essen Entertainment and DJ Ivan.

Domini D - DJ Ivan was awesome!!! We highly recommend him. Essen entertainment had great communication throughout the planning process, arrived on time and delivered every song we requested. DJ Ivan was very professional and accommodating to each request. He are so impressed with his ability to ensure that we had all the reggae songs (most of which he didn't know) required for our wedding. He even went as far as googling our names to ensure he pronounced them right (the only one out of all of vendors to do so ahead of time).Thank you so much for making our reception very memorable!

Sandra G. - From my first conversation with JJ at Essen Entertainment, I knew we would be in good hands. JJ is so professional and always quick to respond. My daughter’s wedding was postponed twice due to the pandemic, and JJ was very flexible in rescheduling. Our DJ for the wedding was Ivan. Ivan made certain to find out not only what my daughter and her (now) husband wanted him to play, but also anything they specifically did not want. When Ivan was setting up for the wedding, something shorted in the sound board, and fried his laptop. Ever the professional, Ivan had a backup computer with him. Essen Entertainment also provided a photo booth operated by Javier. That turned out to be a huge hit! I highly recommend JJ and Essen Entertainment, DJ Ivan, and Javier for your wedding or other event!

Christ W. - Wow!!  DJ Ivan was my DJ for my wedding on Friday and he did an incredible job!! Got a very eclectic group of people out on the dance floor in record time!  He listened and did everything I asked for, played all of the songs that we requested, and did a great job with the whole thing!!  He showed up early, was set up and ready to go in plenty of time. He was awesome at our shoe game and all the announcements. The very next time I need a DJ, I’m calling him!! You should too, you won’t regret it!! 5 STARS!!

Marla P - Ivan really did an excellent job playing for our wedding!! Not a dull moment... on time, respectful, and knows how to keep the party moving! You cannot go wrong with DJ Ivan! We had over 300 people at our wedding and it ran smoothly. Thank you Ivan and Essen Entertainment!

Mark R. - Our wedding was perfect thanks to all of our vendors especially Ivan our DJ. He fulfilled all of our needs and did a fantastic job. I thoroughly enjoyed the music he played (off the hip) so to speak throughout the evening. I recommend Ivan to anyone!

Valery C. - DJ Ivan was AMAZING!!! He kept ALLLLLL of our guests on the dancefloor the entire time. Not to brag or anything lol,... but tons (literally the majority) of our guests told us it was the funnest wedding they have ever been to!!! And I know for a FACT that is all thanks to Ivan!! I will definitely keep him at the top of my list for any future events. You will not regret booking him! :)

Michael G. - When I first submitted an inquiry for our DJ, I was contacted that same day. JJ was unbelievably helpful and was able to help us coordinate a timeline for our wedding. It was reassuring to know that he's done this a thousand times before. Our DJ was Ivan and he was awesome. Kept in touch with my wife and I throughout the whole process. Was on time, helped us with our playlist and any of our other needs. I'd recommend these guys to everyone's wedding! I'm grateful to JJ and Ivan for making our special day fun and stress free! 

Jennifer S. -DJ Ivan Is the absolute BEST! We had music picked out for every part of our wedding and he executed it all!!! He was very great at getting the audience up and participating! We also had the dance on a cloud, up lights, our logo and he did amazing at making that all look perfect!! Our photo booth was bomb too! He gave us a book with every picture that someone took @ the photo booth!! You need to hire DJ Ivan!!!!!

Stacy F. - If you're looking for a packed dance floor all night and having guests talk about your wedding for days after...don't look further. DJ IVAN is your man. We booked him a year and half in advance through Essen Entertainment and he worked with me from the beginning to the end. I loved how helpful, flexible and knowledgeable he was about the music and timeline. He worked so well with all of my vendors. Ivan even made custom music mixes for the father & daughter dance. Make sure to get the grand package that includes all uplights, glow foam sticks and the large LOVE letters. My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more because of Ivan keeping the party going all night. We are so happy we chose Ivan to make our wedding magical! Thank you!

Danielle H. - Ivan kept up with the schedule all night. He also knew how to get the party going! You could tell he can read the crowd well and played song types they responded to! He did a great job and was very nice!

Lena P. - There is no words to explain how awesome DJ Ivan did for our special day! I found Ivan through Essen Entertainment and it was important for us to have a diverse DJ as we had a mix crowd. He drove to meet us and he was extremely professional and informative. The day of he guided Us as we had a family member sing for us live and had bad winds but it still came out awesome. Cocktail hour and reception were a blast. The dance floor was never empty so that should say A LOT. I have everyone still asking for his contact information to book him for events. It was truly one of the best vendors to work With. Not to mention every other vendors said he was was great to work with as well. My advice is BOOK him. Worth every penny!!! Thank you Ivan for the memories and giving everyone the time of their life.

Samantha R. - DJ Ivan with Essen Entertainment was am awesome DJ for our mixed Spanish and English speaking crowd at our wedding. DJ Ivan was communicative leading up to the event and was a true professional. He ensured the event ran smoothly, entertaining our guests and made sure everyone had a blast. What a great hire, we can’t wait to hire him for other events in the future.
​

Thomas B. - DJ Ivan made my wedding the event of the century. We had some last minute additions and he willingly accommodated. He went FAR ABOVE and beyond what was expected and my wife and I couldn't be more thankful!!

Hillary S. - DJ Ivan was amazing! Not only did he have to drive 8 hrs to set up, but the dance floor rocked and the up lighting he provided really added a wonderful ambiance to our reception. Ivan went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time out on the dance floor; including the kids! The services of Essen Entertainment are amazing!

Stacy L.- I can't say enough good things about DJ Ivan. He was in contact with us weeks before our wedding to get a good song list down for key dances. On the big day he showed up super early to setup his equipment. Clean cut and professional appearance. Afterwards he took initiative upon himself to coordinate with the photographer, pastor, and others to make sure everything transitioned smoothly. He made special announcements in both English and Spanish. Music wise he catered to both families (1 Spanish and 1 English speaking) evenly. At the end of the night he packed up his equipment and then even walked around and told everyone thank you and goodbye. He even helped us get a few heavy things in the truck. There is a reason this guy has nothing but 5 star reviews.

Rafael R.- I think finding a Dj that we liked was the hardest thing! I went through some really rude DJ's but I was so happy and relieved after we contacted Essen Entertainment! J.J. told us about DJ Ivan and we were sold. Ivan is such a nice person and a great DJ. He did more than enough for us. They added the final touch to our venue and cake with really cool up lighting. Thank you for everything! We'll be recommending you all to everyone we can!

Alyssa T. -Ivan provided his DJ and lighting services for our wedding in October. Everything was flawless. Ivan is a professional and our guests were very pleased with the music choices. Thank you for making our event a memorable one.

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!

Kimberley C. - The Essen Entertainment team goes above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect evening. They plan thoroughly for each event, making sure that you will be 100% satisfied with the service that you have hired. 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

Marcy O. - We were going to have a friend DJ at our wedding and I am so glad we ended up going with Essen Entertainment instead. DJ Cody kept everything running smoothly making announcements and transitioning our songs perfectly. DJ Cody did a great job the entire day and was very friendly and easy to work with

Hillary T. - DJ Cody WAS AWESOME at our wedding  this November and did an outstanding job! He worked the whole day, providing 5 start entertainment! He is very professional and plays awesome music! I would happily recommend him and plan to continue using his services in the future! 

Donna W. - Cody was the perfect DJ for my wedding. Very professional and friendly! The other guests were so impressed as well. Essen Entertainments customer service was fantastic the entire time also! Highly recommend!


Jennifer R.- DJ Cody with Essen Entertainment was INCREDIBLE for my recent wedding. He kept the party going and had such good vibes the entire time. Even before the wedding itself, he listened to our suggestions and truly created a relationship with us, while figuring out the flow and atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. JJ Essen, as well, kept great communication and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I would 1000% recommend Cody as well as Essen entertainment for anyone with an upcoming event! They truly made it a night to remember!
