Weddings

Your celebration, not a template.

Congratulations on your engagement — and thank you for considering us. Selecting your entertainment is one of the most consequential decisions you'll make for the day, and we don't take that lightly.

Planning a wedding is genuinely overwhelming. There are so many moving parts, and entertainment is the one that quietly holds the rest together — it sets the pace of the ceremony, the temperature of cocktail hour, and whether anyone actually dances after dinner.

We believe in total event personalization. Our approach is boutique-style: we build the night around your vision rather than dropping you into a package, and we do it without the cheesy, outdated DJ techniques that make you cringe at somebody else’s reception.

From the format of your ceremony and cocktail hour, to your grand entrance, through dinner, the cake cutting and every dance segment of the reception — we work directly with you to make your vision concrete. Every celebration is different and every couple is different, so nothing here is cookie-cutter.

Reviews

What people have said.

“Eric at Entertainment Essentials was phenomenal for our wedding. He followed the schedule we had made while still allowing for breathing room, and had such a cool, calm, and collected energy that was majorly necessary on such a high stress day! Highly recommend booking with EE for your wedding day. They kept the schedule flowing and the dance floor bumping! We were super satisfied with the entire evening.”

“DJ Woody (Eric) did a PHENOMENAL job at our wedding. He was professional, extremely organized, and very easy to work with! I have been given so many compliments from guests and my Dad agrees that he’s the best DJ we’ve heard. Couldn’t recommend him more! The set up was also awesome & the Photo Booth was a huge hit!”
