Client Testimonials

"Essence Entertainment is AMAZING!!!! Tom was our emcee and DJ. We heard about all of their awards in Chicago, so we couldn't wait to have them be the DJ for our special day. (They traveled all the way to metro Detroit to help us! --And the pricing was competitive with local DJs.) Rich and Tom met with us beforehand to understand exactly what we wanted --the feel, the vibe, the music-- and then delivered above and beyond, accommodating all of our requests from a photo booth to ceremony audio. Big events can be stressful... but Essence Entertainment took care of all of the worrying for us. Once the reception started, they took over the wedding and it was like we were guests at our own event. More than a week later, we’re still hearing from all of our guests about how much they loved the music, the flow of the night. We really couldn’t have imagined a more magical experience. Thank you!!"

"Essence Entertainment was absolutely fantastic! Tom and Jack truly made our wedding something special. I was completely stress free on the big day. Jack made sure every detail was covered and coordinated with the other vendors to make sure the day ran smooth. He stuck to the timeline we put together and let us know when we needed to do the cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss, etc. This made the night so simple and I wasn't worried about what needed to be done next. We also got the photo booth which came with an attendant and our guests said it was the best photo booth they had seen at a wedding. I would 100% recommend Essence Entertainment to anyone!"

"Tom was fantastic – lots of great energy that the crowd loved! Thanks for keeping the party going and the dance floor full all night!"

"The dance floor was packed all night. Whenever I wanted a specific song played, Rich immediately made it happen. I had the time of my life thanks to the blue lighting and perfect tunes....I wish we could've started the party even earlier so that the fun would have lasted longer. Rich spun during our cocktail hour from 5:30-6:30, then played classy music during dinner until 8:30 and then go the party going nonstop until 12:30 when the bar and reception ended. It was perfect."

"Rich did a spectacular job DJing the wedding. He brought so much energy and managed to keep the dance floor packed all night! The uplighting was a great touch and really brightened the room beautifully! The montage was incredible! All of our guests loved it. Thank you so much for all of the effort you and Rich put in to help Mark and I have our dream wedding! Words cannot adequately express how thankful we are."

"We were recommended to Essence by a co worker and are very happy with our decision. We initially were referred to Rich but he was unavailable on our special day and worked with Scott instead. Scott was great. He was involved in the wedding without being too involved. Spoke but not too much and you could tell he had an outgoing personality. Rich was the go to person and was very responsive and even met with us at our venue to confirm the color and placement of our uplighting. Scott made an effort to pronounce all of the names correctly and he did a great job. He dressed professionally too. We have no complaints! Thanks guys!"

"Rich was extremely well organized and brought lots of good ideas, suggestions, and feedback..... From beginning to end, every guest I talked to only had great things to say about Rich. When the power went out, Rich immediately came to the rescue and was solutions oriented; he was never flustered. Also, he was aligned with our time table throughout the wedding and was always ready for the next thing.....The DJ/Music aspect of the wedding felt like the easiest part because we trusted Rich with our vision and he made it happen."

"Thank you again, from both Ariel and I. We felt there was a great mix of Polish and American music and hey, even the Americans were dancing to the Polish music-no one seemed to care (at least I didn’t notice) We had such a great time, I felt bad afterward b/c we danced the whole night and didn’t get to talk to a lot of people-but we did, just on the dance floor. But hey, we had a blast and you guys were such an amazing part of that. I am trying to figure out when I will need a dj next, haha, because it was just soo much fun!"
