Mysteries
I Was Thrilled
Eric hosted a Mystery Party for a pre-wedding get together for my sister, her fiancee, and friends. We had such a great time.
We chose to do one of the pre-written mysteries, and Eric customized it to our setting. I was thrilled when the participants got into their characters, bringing with them props and costumes. Eric made this easy, by preparing the invites describing each character for each participant. The game was well organized, and Eric kept the mystery solving moving with questions, answers, and hints. He set the mood with props and music, transforming our rental house into the scene of the mystery.
I highly recommend Eric for a party. He is easy to work with, communicates effectively, and follows up. Thanks, Eric, for making our girls and guys weekend a success!

Solving The Whodunnit!
We absolutely loved the experience and had a wonderful time trying to figure out whodunnit! I planned this event for my sister's 31st birthday party and she was astounded! This made for a great party, and I will definitely keep you in mind for future events.

Company Mystereee Dinner Party
"I cannot express how happy we were with this event. It was AMAZING! Eric is hands down the best person for the job. He send us an incredible list of options, tailored it for our event, and FLEW IN to host it for the night. He was there throughout the entire planning and guided every step. It was truly a night no one will forget! I don't want to spoil anything, but "Never Go To A Dinner Party On An Island” was super fun. We are all crime podcast enthusiasts and this was a great time! BEST MURDER MYSTERY dinner ever! Thank you again for everything!”

Halloween Murder Mystereee!
Awesome Halloween party by Zowie Entertainment! We chose to do a Murder Mystery and it was so fun! Our group was really into the story and everyone stayed engaged the entire time. The story was easy to follow and everything was well explained. Working with Eric was a real pleasure. The planning was easy and he was available to have a call anytime I had questions. I look forward to using him again for a future party!

Birthday Mystereee Success!
I used Mystereee for my daughters 17th birthday party. She and her friends really enjoyed dressing up and acting out the scenes. The game held their attention for about 1 ½ hours while they solved the crime! I enjoyed how organized the game instructions were as well as each characters folders. I didn’t have any issues understanding what I needed to do as a host. Eric was very responsive to my questions and followed up to make sure I understood how to host. I highly recommend Mystereee!

Mystery DIY
Eric was SO helpful in coordinating the murder mystery party that I threw for my sister’s 40th. I chose the DIY mail package , which included ALL of the mystery materials so nicely organized for easy use . Instructions to host the game came as well . There are plenty of plots to chose from . We chose one with a nod to the 80’s . We had the best time playing the game , lots of laughs . Thanks Eric and thanks Zowie !

One That She Will Never Forget
Eric was a great entertainer and all those who attended my daughters party were buzzing at school about how much fun the murder mystery was. It kept their minds busy and held their attention, while frustrating them at the same time. Thanks again Eric for a wonderful experience and for helping make my daughters 16th birthday party one that she will never forget.

A Rousing Success
Mystery and Spy Parties were a rousing success at our event! We had requested a specific theme involving DNA and Eric was more than accommodating, incorporating everything we needed into our Mystery! He had all the tools to get everyone engaged, involved, competing, laughing, interacting, and acting! Fun was had by all - and boy, were we stumped on many occasions! I would highly recommend Eric!

A Great Mystery Dinner and Scavenger Hunt
It was a great time!! I hired Zowie Entertainment to lead a mystery dinner and scavenger hunt following dinner for our adolescent hematology/oncology summer camp. The teens loved solving the mystery and really enjoyed the competition of completing the scavenger hunt. They ran from clue to clue to try to be the first group to complete the hunt.
Eric led this event for our group. He was enthusiastic and energetic. I recommend using Zowie Entertainment for any group event.

Everyone Had So Much Fun In The Murder Mystery Party
Zeta Tau Alpha at Winthrop University had a fantastic experience with Zowie Entertainment. Everyone had so much fun in the murder mystery party, and Eric was willing to work with us in any way that we needed. He made my job so much easier because I knew that my sisters were having fun and I even got to sit back and participate in the mystery myself!

Everyone Loved It!
What a guy - we had 240 people for my sorority function and this guy nailed it. Not only did he entertain our guests with his wonderfully thought out script, but he continued the night allowing everyone to dance to all of their favorite songs. With that many college students excited to be at the event, he showed an immense amount of patience while trying to get the mystery started. Everyone loved it! Eric - it was great working with you! Such a wonderful person and a great party idea!

Eric Ran a Great Murder Mystery
We hired Eric to run a Murder Mystery for our annual staff retreat (approximately 80 people). He tailored the story line to our field of work, was easy to work / coordinate with in setting up the event, and ran a great murder mystery the day of! We would definitely consider hiring him again should the opportunity arise.

Party Videos
The Mini-Movie is the Icing on the Birthday Cake
When Max came up with a Clone Wars theme for his party, I could find plates and cups easily enough but got stuck at the party entertainment itself for ages. When I saw Eric’s website, I knew we had our little problem solved.
It’s been great – Eric was very ‘can do’, flexible enough to take on board our ‘movie plot’ and made the actual running of the party itself incredibly smooth as well. We actually had reinforcements to help organize the predicted chaos at the party, but very happily, we were all totally redundant and we got to sit back and enjoy watching it all play out instead!
Of course, the mini-movie itself is the icing on the birthday cake, so to speak – it makes for fun watching now but I have this feeling that years from now we’ll be going back to it for our laughs too! We’ve had so many compliments on such a different party we’re thinking ahead already, so see you next year Eric!

We had a great time with the hunt!

5 Gold Stars Aren’t Enough
Eric and Zowie Entertainment are an absolute joy to work with!! Throwing a party for 200+ people wearing costumes (Halloween) can be challenging, not to mention stressful, hectic, and nightmarish; but Eric shows up beyond prepared and just makes everything flow!
5 gold stars aren't enough....more like he deserves 20! If you are looking for someone to provide you with the ability to actually sit down and enjoy your own party, look no further than Zowie Entertainment!!!

The Perfect Entertainment for a Fundraiser
The Perfect Entertainment for a Fundraiser. I hired Eric for a luau fundraising event at a local restaurant. He was incredibly friendly, professional and his musical talents were perfection!
He was on time for every meeting and went out of his way to make things easy for me Eric had our crowd up on their feet dancing and singing–even hula hooping! He played the guitar and sang early in the evening, and switched to DJ later on. Thanks Eric, for making our event a huge success.

Excellent Musician and Singer
My wife and I hired Eric to play guitar for our wedding, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Not only does he offer a tremendous catalog of songs available to perform (and he's an excellent musician and singer), but he's terrific to work with as well. Very reasonable rates, quick to respond to emails and inquiries, flexible personality, and his performance was superb. Deadheads especially will appreciate his song list! I highly recommend Eric and am grateful we were able to have him play at our wedding! A sincere thank you, you were outstanding, and everyone kept telling me afterwards how much they enjoyed the music.

What a Joy to Work With an Entertainer Like Eric
Eric is a talented musician with a great singing voice. He somehow manages to be supremely laid back and easygoing while at the same time being incredibly organized and hyper alert to every nuance in the flow of the party.
What a joy to work with an entertainer like that–although there is not really any “work” involved, since Eric pretty much takes care of everything and the host is free to enjoy the wonderful party mood he creates.
Eric did live entertaining, karaoke, DJ and dance lighting for us–all top notch. He can shift on a dime between relating flawlessly with adolescents and relating with adults. Highly recommended!
Mark G. Darien, CT April 2, 2015
You Will Definitely Be My Choice for the Closing Act
I am glad you had a good time. You are definitely invited back next year. You will definitely be my choice for the closing act. The DJ we had there that night was Kacey Morabito from the Kacey and Mike show in the mornings on WHUD. She thought you were outstanding.

Entertainment For My 50th Wedding Anniversary
When I first approached Eric about the possibility of providing some sort of entertainment for my 50th wedding anniversary, he was more than eager to take on the task. I had some vague ideas but he came up with a number of suggestions, things that hadn’t occurred to me.
This was to be an outside event, and he knew how to tailor the sound and lighting to fully complement the setting. I knew that I wanted “vintage” music, and he had the resources to provide all the oldies I could have wanted. Eric is a pleasure to work with, creative and imaginative.

Eric emceed for my husband’s 30th surprise birthday party and the party was fantastic! He helped me put together a trivia and a “movie scenes charades” type game. He interacted with my guests and played great dance music (as well as played most any song request). Eric was fun and easy to work with, always quick to respond, and had great ideas to keep the party going. And, I heard nothing but great things from my friends and family. If I have another party I would work with Eric again in a heartbeat!

His Equipment Is Top Notch
Habitat for Humanity held it's first statewide conference and Eric entertained us for our "Corn Hole and Karaoke" night and did a FANTASTIC job! He is skilled at reading the crowd and matching up the music to the audience.
When the crowd started to thin down, instead of asking if he could start packing up, he kept right on going and stayed as entertaining for 5 as he did for 50! His attitude was up beat and he was fun to be with! His equipment is top notch and he was very attentive to all details and presented with professionalism mixed with FUN! He came early and stayed late and was great to work with!
Christine O. President, Habitat for Humanity NC January 26, 2015
You Went Above and Beyond
You went above and beyond ensuring everyone got some of their songs on the playlist and I so appreciate that. They all noticed and were excited when it was one of “theirs”. That was a nice touch and I know it took effort on your part to coordinate. Thank you so much! We had fun. Finally got them out there for Karaoke and it paid off. I think everyone had a blast.
Jodi D. Montreat, NC January 2, 2015
He Is Always a Huge Hit and Gets the Crowd Involved
Eric has helped us at Biltmore Forest Country Club on numerous occasions – for adult cocktail parties, pool parties, children’s events, and most recently our employee holiday party. He is always a huge hit and gets the crowd involved.

Thank you so much. We had so much fun. You did a fantastic job. I loved that you took our suggestions for both Karaoke and DJ songs while inserting your selections (which were perfect) based on the genres we requested.
You played a good mix of music that got everyone on the dance floor from disco to “droppin it like its hot”. This is the first time I actually enjoyed Karaoke! We will definitely hire you again for our next event.

Kids Parties
Your Work is Truly Making a Difference
Thank you so much for a terrific “Animal Party” last weekend. It was the perfect combination of fun and education, and you made it easy for all the kids (ages 5-9) to get into the action. Andrew says he really liked the story, and the singing and games were just what we had hoped for.
You inspired us all to get in touch with our planet and to do what we can to help. Andrew raised more than $600 for Trees for the Future, (we needed about $500 to adopt a village). Please keep in touch about your movie. Andrew would be thrilled to hear how everything goes and I am sure he’d like to be involved in any way he can. Eric, your work is truly making a difference.

80s/90s Dance Party Delight!
"I am so happy that I choose Zowie Entertainment to DJ my 50th birthday party. The theme was an 80s/90s Dance Party. Eric compiled a high-energy, fun playlist that kept all our guests dancing and singing for hours! The "1972 Crew" would recommend Eric for any event. He knows how to throw a great party! Plus he is so easy to work with. He is responsive and accommodating. You can't go wrong with Zowie Entertainment."
Heather Brevard, NC September 30, 2022
A Memorable Reception!
What an absolutely phenomenal reception Eric provided us with at the Kanuga Conference Center. Eric was the first one to congratulate us before we even selected him...he reached out, listened to our needs and wants and helped us thru much of our planning. We had no idea what we were doing, we knew there would be some challenges in bringing such a diverse crowd together in an atmosphere of love, celebration, delight, dancing and games. In the offerings, Eric knew of the balance needed to create the perfect environment and he made it happen in such a grand manner....Everyone had a memorable evening! Eric, you went over and beyond our expectations!

A Fantastic Game Show
A fantastic event!
Eric was a fantastic host and made our night so much fun. He was very communicative leading up to the event and very flexible. He did a great job of keeping everyone engaged and included and we learned a lot! Would 100% recommend for your event.Megan Burch Asheville NC September 27, 2022
One That She Will Never Forget
Eric was a great entertainer and all those who attended my daughters party were buzzing at school about how much fun the murder mystery was. It kept their minds busy and held their attention, while frustrating them at the same time. Thanks again Eric for a wonderful experience and for helping make my daughters 16th birthday party one that she will never forget.
Debbie McClain Waxhaw, NC September 19, 2019
He is great at working the crowd!
Eric is absolutely fantastic! I've been fortunate to book him for several family-focused events at my work and he has been a joy to work with. The kids really respond well to him and he is great at working the crowd! You won't be disappointed!

The Girls Had a Wonderful Time
Just wanted to brag a little on Mr. Eric at Asheville Party. He handled a group of excited 8 year old girls great and kept them entertained the whole time. The girls had a wonderful time, so much in fact that, a couple of them want to "have a party just like it!”
Heather P. Hendersonville, NC January 5, 2017
Greatest Recess Proctor I Have Ever Seen
He was the greatest recess proctor I have ever seen. Instead of sitting on the bench with the other teachers, Eric would become part of the fun - not in a directive manner as teachers often do but as an organic part of the free and unstructured play as imagined by the students.
Jon R. Teacher, Rye Country Day School December 16, 2015
Kids Really Enjoyed Singing and Dancing to His Music
We have used Eric for several of our mall events. This year we had an animal themed event and Eric's Animal Party Show was perfect. The kids really enjoyed singing and dancing to his music. Eric was a pleasure to work with. He always responded immediately to our questions and was always very professional. We will definitely use him again.
Nancie C. Carolina Place Mall, Charlotte, NC May 5, 2015
You Were So Great
I am with the St. Luke’s Preschool Parent/Teacher committee. Last year you performed at our end of year party in Darien. You were so great and we would love to book you again this year.

Everyone LOVED You
Thank you for entertaining us at Jack’s party – everyone LOVED you and we are still talking about it! I will definitely keep you in mind for future events and will highly recommend you to friends!

I Plan to Recommend You Every Chance I Get
You were a hit! I have received nothing but positive feedback regarding your wonderful performance. Your dance tunes and live show kept the crowd of ninety 2 to 5 year olds dancing and happy. I plan to recommend you every chance I get. Thank you for helping to make our school’s event so special.
Lindsay O. Riverside, CT April 2, 2015
Eric Was a Huge Hit
Eric was a huge hit at our Woodstock themed 9th Birthday Party. Not only did he engage the kids with fun and games he covered all the basics and more within our 60′s requests. He was awesome! He was delightful!
Emily S. Los Angeles, CA April 2, 2015
A Wonderful Way to Learn
When Eric Everett asked me to write a letter of reference for him I was thrilled, as this act allowed me to give a little back to a person who has given so much himself.
Eric is a grade A performer – not only is he a talented musician but, perhaps more importantly, he has the gift of performance. What I mean by this is his ability to read a crowd as he puts on a show so he can make any necessary adjustments needed to maximize the pleasure of the audience and the message that he conveys. I’m guessing that his unique gift is derived from the time he has spent as a teacher.
My own children absolutely adore his performance of Triple E. They know practically every word of his CD. He involves kids so they are having fun, but they are still listening. The message does not get lost. He offers a wonderful way to learn.
Ken L. Exec. Director Urban Ecology Center, Milwaukee, WI March 31, 2015
Perfect Combination of Entertainment and Education!
Recently my students and I had the privilege of attending a fantastic performance given by Eric E. Everett. Triple E, as he calls himself, entertained us with upbeat and catchy songs from his musical entitled ‘Animal Party’. My 3rd graders (and the 2nd, 4th and 5th graders also in attendance ) were completely enthralled by this show. Since this was our last day of school before Christmas break, keeping 180 children focused was no easy feat. However, Eric did just that with great finesse.
In addition to the lively songs (many of which involved audience participation) the children were provided with with excellent messages about taking care of animals and caring for the environment in general. What a perfect combination of entertainment and education! A class act!

The Teachers Thought It Was Great
I just wanted to let you know that your show at Nature’s Nursery yesterday was a HUGE success. When I picked up my son, everyone was very excited! The teachers thought it was great. My son was so cute on the way home. He was telling me every detail of the songs, your guitar, etc., etc. Finally he said, “Wow, I’ll have a lot to talk about after I eat my dinner tonight!” (we “talk about our day” after eating).
Bryce was so excited that you sang the songs on “his tape”. Well, anyway, thanks so much for doing this and for supporting the PTO of MHHS! I want my older daughter to look into one of your Mystery Parties for her 11th birthday in December … sounds SO cool.
Darlene A. Brewster, NY March 31, 2015

We Absolutely Loved Your Show
We absolutely loved your show and our son, Matt, has been talking about you non-stop. I have caught him frequently over the past two weeks singing, “Animal Party” to himself while he’s been playing and we have your flier posted on our refrigerator that he reads every day to his sister. He is an official groupie!
Mark L. Hamden CT March 31, 2015
A Very Talented Performer
We had a blast at the party, thank you for making it so memorable. Dylan had a great time!!! The parents of the other children thought that it was a great idea to have you and I am so glad that we extended your time to continue the party for the adults!
Every one really enjoyed themselves and came up to me afterwards and complimented you. I think that you are a very talented performer and it isn’t easy being able to perform for both kids and adults… you do it well! I look forward to having you again.

Russell Still Talks About His Animal Party
To this date, Russell still talks about his animal party and your CD is among his favorites – if not his favorite. You made his birthday such a memorable one just by your entertainment alone!!!! He asks about you weekly – we might have to secure you for next year as well!!

We Love Your Songs!
We very much enjoyed having you play at Alyssa’s party! You are great with the kids, getting them going, etc. Plus we love your songs! It was extra special that we already knew the songs from the CD. When you were getting ready for them to jump the river and sing the Vine-to-Vine song, I saw Alyssa so excited standing in front of you with her hands kind of clasped, sort of jumping with excitement!
It was very special for both of my kids and they have talked about it since. We were very pleased to give the CD’s out as the party favors! My kids have really got a lot out of the songs (through repeated listening) about the environmental/animal issues. Hopefully, the songs will sink-in to a few of the 14 other kids who were there! Good luck with all your plans for the cause! I have to tell you, the weekend following Alyssa’s party we made a trip to New Paltz, NY. I think all the way up and all the way back we listened to Animal Party!
Janel G. New Canaan, CT March 31, 2015
A Great Gift for Your Child
As the owner of a toy store I highly recommend this for kids of all ages. I have played Eric’s CD in my store and have gotten many great responses to it.
I have also had the pleasure of hearing Eric sing live and was very impressed as were the customers in my store. A great gift for your child or another.

Your creativity, warmth and sense of fun truly made the party one that all the kids enjoyed – I overheard one of the kids thanking my daughter for having been born and making the party possible! You provide something very special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you HIGHLY to everyone I know. I am sure we’ll see you again – my son is already plotting his next birthday party! 😉

We were really impressed by the imagination you put into planning the activities, the skillful way you engaged the kids and maintained their enthusiasm, and your excellent good humor and professionalism throughout — including your gracious charm in joining us for birthday pizza and cake.
Our only regret is that we have to wait a year for the next birthday and another opportunity to explore your repertoire of wonderful party ideas.

Best Part Of The Block Party

Trivia, Charades, and DJ….Oh My!
Eric emceed for my husband’s 30th surprise birthday party and the party was fantastic! He helped me put together a trivia and a “movie scenes charades” type game. He interacted with my guests and played great dance music (as well as played most any song request). Eric was fun and easy to work with, always quick to respond, and had great ideas to keep the party going. And, I heard nothing but great things from my friends and family. If I have another party I would work with Eric again in a heartbeat!

Zowie Entertainment was an amazing choice for our annual work party. We chose DJ as well as the Karaoke option and had a blast!

Eric was amazing to work with and I'd definitely work with him again for future events!!
Meredith Fletcher, NC September 27, 2022
Excellent Musician and Singer
My wife and I hired Eric to play guitar for our wedding, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Not only does he offer a tremendous catalog of songs available to perform (and he's an excellent musician and singer), but he's terrific to work with as well. Very reasonable rates, quick to respond to emails and inquiries, flexible personality, and his performance was superb. Deadheads especially will appreciate his song list! I highly recommend Eric and am grateful we were able to have him play at our wedding! A sincere thank you, you were outstanding, and everyone kept telling me afterwards how much they enjoyed the music.

What a Joy to Work With an Entertainer Like Eric
Eric is a talented musician with a great singing voice. He somehow manages to be supremely laid back and easygoing while at the same time being incredibly organized and hyper alert to every nuance in the flow of the party.
What a joy to work with an entertainer like that–although there is not really any “work” involved, since Eric pretty much takes care of everything and the host is free to enjoy the wonderful party mood he creates.
Eric did live entertaining, karaoke, DJ and dance lighting for us–all top notch. He can shift on a dime between relating flawlessly with adolescents and relating with adults. Highly recommended!
Mark G. Darien, CT April 2, 2015
You Will Definitely Be My Choice for the Closing Act
I am glad you had a good time. You are definitely invited back next year. You will definitely be my choice for the closing act. The DJ we had there that night was Kacey Morabito from the Kacey and Mike show in the mornings on WHUD. She thought you were outstanding.

An EXTENSIVE Karaoke list
Eric was wonderful! I hired him for my husband’s 40th birthday party to sing and run karaoke. He has a wonderful singing voice and plays guitar well too. He has an EXTENSIVE Karaoke list and the equipment was good. Eric was upbeat but not at all “in your face.” He was flexible, polite and fun. I would absolutely recommend him.
Jennifer T. Glastonbury, CT February 12, 2015

His Equipment Is Top Notch
Habitat for Humanity held it's first statewide conference and Eric entertained us for our "Corn Hole and Karaoke" night and did a FANTASTIC job! He is skilled at reading the crowd and matching up the music to the audience.
When the crowd started to thin down, instead of asking if he could start packing up, he kept right on going and stayed as entertaining for 5 as he did for 50! His attitude was up beat and he was fun to be with! His equipment is top notch and he was very attentive to all details and presented with professionalism mixed with FUN! He came early and stayed late and was great to work with!
Christine O. President, Habitat for Humanity NC January 26, 2015
Entertainment For My 50th Wedding Anniversary
When I first approached Eric about the possibility of providing some sort of entertainment for my 50th wedding anniversary, he was more than eager to take on the task. I had some vague ideas but he came up with a number of suggestions, things that hadn’t occurred to me.
This was to be an outside event, and he knew how to tailor the sound and lighting to fully complement the setting. I knew that I wanted “vintage” music, and he had the resources to provide all the oldies I could have wanted. Eric is a pleasure to work with, creative and imaginative.
Lois B. Round Hill, VA January 26, 2015
You Went Above and Beyond
You went above and beyond ensuring everyone got some of their songs on the playlist and I so appreciate that. They all noticed and were excited when it was one of “theirs”. That was a nice touch and I know it took effort on your part to coordinate. Thank you so much! We had fun. Finally got them out there for Karaoke and it paid off. I think everyone had a blast.

He Is Always a Huge Hit and Gets the Crowd Involved
Eric has helped us at Biltmore Forest Country Club on numerous occasions – for adult cocktail parties, pool parties, children’s events, and most recently our employee holiday party. He is always a huge hit and gets the crowd involved.
His Karaoke is always a ton of fun, and his “box of fun” will liven up the party. Eric is very easy to work with, he is interactive during the party, and always willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend him for any event.

Eric Was A Pleasure To Work With
We recently booked Eric for our corporate children's holiday gathering. Eric was a pleasure to work with. He always responded immediately and was always very professional. It was evident from the beginning that he had the confidence and experience to pull off our event.
I have received lots of positive feedback from everyone who attended. Fun for the kids, professional/reliable for working with the adults. I would definitely recommend Eric to a friend.

Eric is So Professional, But Fun at the Same Time!
Eric is AMAZING! He was the DJ for our Holiday Party last week and everyone loved him! Eric is so professional, but fun at the same time! He arrives in time to set up and gets the party going! I highly recommend Asheville Party for any occasion!

The Perfect Entertainment for a Fundraiser
The Perfect Entertainment for a Fundraiser. I hired Eric for a luau fundraising event at a local restaurant. He was incredibly friendly, professional and his musical talents were perfection!
He was on time for every meeting and went out of his way to make things easy for me Eric had our crowd up on their feet dancing and singing–even hula hooping! He played the guitar and sang early in the evening, and switched to DJ later on. Thanks Eric, for making our event a huge success.
Margaret Ann S. Irene Wortham Center, Asheville, NC December 30, 2014
Highly Recommended
The Sunny Point Staff Party was too much fun with Karaoke in the mix! Eric had a song to suit every guest and kept the crowd moving right along. He helped with special announcements and prizes for best singer categories. I would highly recommend his services for your next event.
Brigett B. Sunny Point Cafe, Asheville, NC December 30, 2014
We Will Definitely Hire You Again for Our Next Event
Thank you so much. We had so much fun. You did a fantastic job. I loved that you took our suggestions for both Karaoke and DJ songs while inserting your selections (which were perfect) based on the genres we requested.
You played a good mix of music that got everyone on the dance floor from disco to “droppin it like its hot”. This is the first time I actually enjoyed Karaoke! We will definitely hire you again for our next event.

Weddings
A Wonderful Time
Eric was a wonderful DJ for our event; he was flexible with our event requests and made sure our guests had a wonderful time!
Ashley Biltmore Estate December 31, 2016
Wedding Bliss!
Emma and I wanted to say a final huge thank you for everything you did for our wedding last weekend! We could not have imagined the music any better, and have gotten numerous compliments about everything. You were easy to work with, and it was wonderful knowing you could be counted on for so much throughout the evening. Thank you especially for being so flexible and in-tune with our music preferences, the dance party was so incredibly fun and we love how naturally you found songs that went together while following the ebb and flow of our guests’ dancing.
David Williams NC October 21, 2022
Zowie Entertainment Was Awesome!
Eric offered karaoke during the cocktail hour. My guests had so much fun. He sent us pictures from it as well. Leading up to the event he was very detailed and attentive. He was always just a phone call away. You'll love him too!

Wedding Music, Guitar, and Brews
Eric Everett was a delight to have as the Guitarist and DJ at our wedding in Asheville, NC. Not only was his ability to play guitar amazing, he also added a great deal of entertainment to his duties as the DJ. He got right into our theme, adding jokes and songs that played right along with it. I would highly suggest hiring him as your DJ or Guitarist, it was fantastic. The lead up to the event was also seamless and he was readily available whenever we needed him. Thank you for everything!

Music, Dancing, and Matrimony!
Eric was so incredible!! He was great at communicating and super well prepared for the day. He was a huge help for getting set up for the ceremony, speeches and of course dancing music!
Maggie Highland Brew Asheville, NC October 18, 2022
Could Not Have Asked For a Better DJ!
My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day, we just love Eric! The months and weeks leading up to the big day he was so thorough, patient, and understanding. When the timeline was disrupted during the reception, he was fantastic on his feet and rolled with all the punches. He is just the nicest guy and we got so many compliments from guests! We are forever grateful to Eric for the services he providing and going above and beyond for us on our big day!
Bailey Harper Asheville NC September 30, 2022
A Memorable Reception!
What an absolutely phenomenal reception Eric provided us with at the Kanuga Conference Center. Eric was the first one to congratulate us before we even selected him...he reached out, listened to our needs and wants and helped us thru much of our planning. We had no idea what we were doing, we knew there would be some challenges in bringing such a diverse crowd together in an atmosphere of love, celebration, delight, dancing and games. In the offerings, Eric knew of the balance needed to create the perfect environment and he made it happen in such a grand manner....Everyone had a memorable evening! Eric, you went over and beyond our expectations!
Kathleen and Debb- Ellen Alger Brown Kanuga Converence Center-Hendersonville September 30, 2022
A Family Affair!
Eric has now been part of three family events- my sister-in-laws wedding, my sisters, and now mine! He was BEYOND wonderful to work with, and made our day so special. He even learned one of my favorite songs so that I could walk down the aisle to it. Thank you, Eric, for everything!!!
Savannah G. September 30, 2022
Excellent Musician and Singer
My wife and I hired Eric to play guitar for our wedding, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Not only does he offer a tremendous catalog of songs available to perform (and he's an excellent musician and singer), but he's terrific to work with as well. Very reasonable rates, quick to respond to emails and inquiries, flexible personality, and his performance was superb. Deadheads especially will appreciate his song list! I highly recommend Eric and am grateful we were able to have him play at our wedding! A sincere thank you, you were outstanding, and everyone kept telling me afterwards how much they enjoyed the music.
Rick Stavig Guitarist July 15, 2019
It was perfect
We hired Eric as a guitarist for our ceremony & cocktail hour and to DJ during our reception. He was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We gave him a couple songs that we wanted played during the reception and he figured out the rest based on our taste! It was perfect. We even had a few people ask for the playlist for their wedding! Highly recommend!
Ashley Reluzco Guitarist & DJ July 15, 2019
Fantastic musician!
Eric was wonderful to work with! We hired him for both our ceremony and reception. He is fantastic with communication! He called us right after we mentioned we would be interested and explained all about his company and what he could provide for our wedding. We felt very confident in our decision! He was always available to answer our questions and a great person to work with! Book Eric! He has many skills and services to offer anyone with their wedding music needs!
Amy Holtzapple Guitarist & DJ June 27, 2019
Eric Did a Fantastic Job with Our Wedding
Eric did a fantastic job with our wedding. We traded many emails and phone calls in preparation for the event and his thoroughness and professionalism was impressive. He provided organizational forms to help us form a timeline of the event details. He was on time, had a professional sound system, and knew how to keep the crowd dancing throughout the evening. We would confidently recommend Eric to anyone needing musical entertainment.
Thanks Eric!
Nate & Amy Homewood January 5, 2017
Highly Recommended!!!
Eric was wonderful to work with from the time we started planning through the end of our event. He was great when it came to interacting with our guests and had a fantastic selection of music to keep things flowing throughout the day. Highly recommended!!!
Adam Brown Farm, Weaverville, NC January 5, 2017
He is a Great DJ, Entertainer and All-Around Guy
When we are all booked for a date, Eric from Asheville Wedding Entertainment is always one of the first companies we refer a bride too. He is a great DJ, entertainer and all-around guy. You will be pleased if you pick Eric!
Robby C. A Bride's DJ January 5, 2017
There Was Never a Dull Moment
Eric communicated with us very well! He was very pleasant and always had a great attitude even with our last minute requests. He was on cue with our ceremony and he provided great entertainment all night. There was never a dull moment.
Mike Biltmore Estate January 5, 2017
I Am So Glad that We Hired Eric for Our Wedding!
I am so glad that we hired Asheville Wedding Entertainment for our wedding! Eric was very professional and responded extremely quickly to all our questions. He listened to our requests and did a great job of sticking to the style of music that we preferred. He managed to include many of the guests' song requests (we asked him to allow requests).
He also provided our ceremony music, which was perfect! He had the schedule we gave him for the order of events, but was very flexible when I wanted to adjust the timing of things during the reception. He managed to get our stubborn crowd out onto the dance floor. We highly recommend his services!
Christina Fields of Blackberry Cove January 4, 2017
Outstanding and Far Exceeded Our Expectations
Eric Everett provided DJ services for our wedding on July 2, 2016. He was outstanding and far exceeded our expectations! He was pleasant, easy to work with, organized, answered many questions, and provided suggestions when asked. He met with us in person several weeks before our wedding and made us feel very comfortable.
He also created an acoustic version of a song of our choice and worked with our selected singer - it was wonderful! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and many told us how impressed they were with Eric. What a gifted musician and entertainer and an all around great person! I highly recommend Eric for your wedding or any event!
Maria Inn at Tranquility Farm December 31, 2016
So Easy to Work With
Asheville Wedding Entertainment was absolutely amazing!! Eric was so easy to work with from start to finish. He provided me with a planning guide, which helped me figure out how I wanted everything to flow from the start of our ceremony to our grand entrance, the first dance and the very last song.
He was flexible when I changed my mind and patient when it took me right up to the very last minute to make decisions. He read my crowd perfectly and had everyone dancing all night long. One of my guests even asked him to stay an extra hour (which he did) and complimented on how awesome he was. I'm so glad we chose him to be our DJ and highly recommend him!
Doretta Brahma Ridge Event Center December 31, 2016
A Wonderful Time
Eric was a wonderful DJ for our event; he was flexible with our event requests and made sure our guests had a wonderful time!
Ashley Biltmore Estate December 31, 2016
Not only Special, but Spectacular!
We are so thankful for Eric's talent and expertise as both a DJ, and master of ceremonies! He met and exceeded our expectations as he shared his talent with us for both cocktail hour and the reception. There was never a lull in the dancing, as he kept the repertoire of songs in perfect order......without a pause. His professional demeanor and ability to provide even more that we expected is tremendously appreciated!
Thanks so much for all you did to make our evening not only special, but spectacular! We thought everything was perfect, and I so appreciate all your expertise at making it so! Thanks also for working with Maddie and bringing about that solo! (song on guitar) We felt like you truly "made" the reception a huge hit! And GREAT photos.....we so appreciate you sending them!
Leslie B. Burlingame Country Club December 31, 2016
Engaging, Professional, Flexible, and Intentional
Eric was fabulous to work with! My husband and I wanted to have a destination wedding, so booking vendors without being able to meet with them face to face can be risky. After one phone call with Eric I knew he would be a great DJ for us and was exactly what we were looking for! His personality is very engaging and professional. We hired him to provide ceremony music as well as cocktail hour and reception music and he was so flexible and willing to make it all happen.
The church we booked for the ceremony was older and did not have a sound system available for us to use but Eric went above and beyond to make sure all the details were sorted out. He was able to coordinate with my wedding planner and alleviate some of the wedding coordination stress that a bride can feel when it gets down to the little details.
During the reception he kept the party moving and was able to feel out the crowd. We had included on our RSVPs a spot for guests to include a song request and Eric was very intentional about playing all the songs we submitted, which was fun to see our guests get excited when their request was played. Our guests were dancing all night long! We had a great experience with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!
Jessica A. Century Room and Boyd Chapel December 31, 2016
There Was No Other DJ for Us
Eric was our DJ for our VERY laid back & whimsical wedding. We had our ceremony + reception in the backyard of a house we rented. The hustle & bustle preceding the ceremony would have made some vendors want to run in fear, as there was so much to be done, so much that was last minute, so much that had to have room for last minute changes, and Eric immersed himself in it all with a smile.
By the time I finally saw Eric, I was walking down the aisle toward my groom, and Eric was accompanying my best friend with “Harvest Moon” on the guitar. I couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect moment to kick our day off. Having Eric be a part of that launched an immediate connection & he continued to entertain us & our guests ALL night with funky tunes radiating in those mountains.
There was no other DJ for us. I HIGHLY recommend Eric for your event. He is very easy to work with, and brings his own personality & happiness to your day that you will always cherish.
Lauren B. Fairview, NC January 6, 2016
Eric Everett = Life Saver!
Eric Everett = life saver! We are so thankful for his contribution to our wedding!
He is very professional and walks you through each step necessary to help keep guests entertained throughout the evening. His organization skills helped keep us calm and collected. Our guests loved him, and so did we! Eric took a great evening and made it better! I may be biased but you will not find anybody better 😉 Eric is the best!
I'm so thankful for everything he did for us! He helped me pick great songs and listened to all of our requests through the night with a level of energy that helped us keep the party going even as exhaustion crept in. He has a contagious personality! Hire him! You won't regret it!
Samantha K. Lake Lure Inn, NC January 6, 2016
Some of the Best Talent I’ve seen
Eric was an integral part of our wedding in every way. From playing the guitar/singing during the ceremony to creating an incredibly fun atmosphere during the reception, Eric truly is some of the best talent I’ve seen.
I also think Eric was an incredible value–you get a singer/guitarist and a DJ all in one. If you had to hire two separate people for that, you would easily pay twice as much as he charges. He can also provide extra sound equipment, lighting, and some other services too, I think.
Even before the wedding day, he was super helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns, and stayed in close contact with me about planning all the details. I really believe our wedding was a success in large part because Eric really listened to what we wanted and really cared. You won’t get that kind of service from one of the larger entertainment companies. I can’t recommend this guy highly enough!
Sasha M. Fontaine Vineyards, Asheville, NC January 5, 2016
Dance Floor was Full All Night
Eric was perfect to work with as our wedding DJ. Music was a high priority for us, and we are so glad we hired him. He was prompt, courteous, friendly, and had great ideas for little ways to enhance the evening.
During our planning, he offered us a wide variety of packages that we could adjust to our budget, and was so helpful in helping us determine the best package choice. At the wedding, he had an excellent sense for how to allow the music to drive the flow of the evening, and everything moved seamlessly. His ability to read the crowd meant that the dance floor was full all night.
Hiring Eric was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!
Kari & Nathan Mountain Magnolia Inn, Hot Springs, NC January 5, 2016
Eric Made Everyone feel Welcome and Relaxed
Eric was the DJ for a wedding I attended. I watched Eric masterfully work a crowd of difficult people. Some of the people in the crowd despised each other, some had strong beliefs against dancing or other traditional wedding reception activities that they viewed as secular and inappropriate, some wanted to just have a good time, others simply wanted to survive the event.
I watched Eric set up, secretly holding my breath knowing how badly this could end up going for him. By the end of the night I was astounded. Eric seamlessly and intuitively attended to everyone’s needs. He got people moving and involved in a way that did not offend the others, he adapted to some surprises and practical jokes from the attendees, and he made everyone feel welcome and relaxed.
Eric exceeded my hopes and expectations. He read the crowd brilliantly and adapted to a complicated situation creating a seamless and memorable experience for the bride and groom. I highly recommend Eric Everett.
Clive P. Grove Park Inn, Asheville, NC January 4, 2016
Professional and Upbeat
Eric was great to work with! There were a handful of issues with the venue, but he was flexible and extremely helpful. Despite several last minute changes, he remained professional and upbeat. He transformed our small wedding into a memorable party!
I don’t think I could ever properly express my gratitude. He’s simply an awesome guy and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment for their party.
Angela V. Boone, NC January 4, 2016
A Joy to Work With!
Eric was the most wonderful DJ we could ever ask for! We have very eclectic tastes and didn’t want any run-of-the-mill DJ and definitely didn't want someone who only played line dances. So we turned to Eric and couldn’t be happier for it.
His guitar playing and singing was absolutely beautiful (and my fiance is a guitar player and singer himself, so we are usually pretty critical). He was flexible and played all of our requests (even though most of them weren’t standard DJ fare).
But best of all he was a joy to work with! He was kind and prompt with his correspondence. He was easy-going on the wedding day and made us laugh many a time 🙂 Plus he had the best prices of any DJ I found in the area. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone in need of good music.
Brittany L. Greenville, SC January 3, 2016
They Were Really Impressed With Him!
Eric was awesome! I chose Eric as our DJ after meeting him at the wedding festival in Asheville. I really liked him as soon as I met him - he's really genuine and down to earth. I also LOVED that he's a musician as well and can provide tons of other services too. At our wedding he played acoustic guitar and sang at our ceremony and tons of people told us they were really impressed with him!
Then at the reception he DJ'd. He was great at feeling out what songs would keep people dancing and really open to requests. Throughout the entire process before and during he was super flexible, friendly, helpful and laid back - but still professional and prepared. Don't hesitate to book him!
Jessica W. Fletcher, NC January 3, 2016
He Even Helped Me do a Special Song for My Bride on His Guitar
We'd read great reviews about Eric and it all lived up to our expectations. We used both an outdoor and indoor component for our wedding and this worked out perfectly given Eric's background.
He was able to do great guitar covers during our outdoor cocktail hour and transitioned perfectly to a DJ that kept people dancing once dinner was over. He even helped me do a special song for my Bride on his guitar. He was courteous and provided suggestions and options but wasn't at all pushy. We don't think we could have done any better especially for the money.
Andrew G. Addison Farms Vineyard, Leicester, NC January 3, 2016
Your Energy Encouraged Everyone!
Jon and I wanted to take the time to thank you for doing such a wonderful job. You were so professional. You really helped make the entire evening a memorable event. You played all of the songs that we wanted to hear and kept the right mood and atmosphere all night long.
The karaoke was a hit! I was kind of worried that maybe only a few will only come up and do karaoke, but your energy encouraged everyone! Again, thanks so much for a great job and for keeping the party upbeat and everyone moving!
Jon & Kathy Inn at Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC January 2, 2016
Guitar for the Ceremony Was Beautiful
Eric was wonderful!! He is so easy to work with and helped us have the perfect music for our wedding day! The acoustic guitar for the ceremony was beautiful, and then we got so many compliments on the DJ music at the reception! He simply does it all!!
Sara G. Arboretum, Asheville, NC January 2, 2016
The Girls Went Nuts!
Eric was amazing! He played a whole list of songs my husband and I had put together but worked some other nice songs in as well to help our music list flow. Our group of friends is very silly and Eric did a great job just playing along with our wackiness (he picked really funny songs for the bouquet and garter toss and he even played along with the guys when they decided to kick the girls off the dance floor so they could dance to "girls just wanna have fun").
He did a really good job of reading our group to decide which songs he should play (like when he busted out some Backstreet Boys and the girls went nuts!) We were originally planning to not have a DJ but changed our minds at the last minute and Eric was very accommodating and responsive even though we were already down to the wire when we hired him. He really helped to make the night a blast and we have had so many friends mention that they've never had more fun at a wedding before. We couldn't have been happier!
Wendy C. Lake Lure Inn, NC January 2, 2016
Eric Made My Night a Whole Lot Less Stressful
Thank you for the great job you did at our wedding! Eric made my night a whole lot less stressful and of course so much fun! It was a night to remember. He did an amazing job! He was on time, set up quickly, and was very nice and professional through the whole wedding.
Even with being professional he was fun and made the mood for the crowd. I got so many comments about how great you were from the guests. He fed off of the vibe of the group and played all the right songs at the right time. He was great with any changes I made last minute. The music was perfect and everyone had a blast. He did a wonderful job!!!
Emma S. Fields of Blackberry Cove, Weaverville, NC January 2, 2016
A Fantastic Musician and DJ!
Eric Everett is a fantastic musician and DJ! From the very beginning, he was great to communicate with! He always responded to my emails in a timely manner. His acoustic guitar playing was very beautiful and he was able to accommodate my request for a song that wasn't on his list. He also did a fabulous job at our reception as DJ! Our venue owner was very impressed with his professionalism, his communication, and his knowledge of the flow of a typical wedding reception.
My guests had a blast and almost all were out on the dance floor at some point! He did an excellent job of incorporating the songs we requested and reading the crowd! Many people commented it was the most fun they had had at a wedding. If you choose him to be your DJ and/or your wedding musician, you will not be disappointed!
Amber R. Fields of Blackberry Cove, Weaverville, NC January 1, 2016
Eric Helped Turn a Situation Into an Awesome Night.
Eric and I started talking about the wedding several months prior (per my now wife's instructions to find a DJ). I believe I enjoy an eclectic assortment of music anything from county, to rock, to bluegrass, to I don't know what. As far as putting together a song list additional to what I created, Eric did a great job.
In addition to this we had some unpredictable circumstances come up. We lost power (this was an outside event). This was in no way Eric's fault. We lost power right at the beginning of the reception. Eric helped turn what could have been a very bad situation into an awesome night. He handled everything very well.
Everyone was dancing, (and many people that probably shouldn't have been) thanks to Eric.
He is very professional, flexible, and great to work with. I would recommend to someone with any background or preference. Also great as a DJ or Performer.Everyone was extremely pleased with everything about your performance/ evening. Heather and I were just talking about what a good job we thought you did. We will definitely go onto to post reviews because that is why we chose you. the night turned out perfect! Thank you Eric!
Thad C. Hendersonville, NC January 1, 2016
One Company That Takes Care of Everything
We hired Zowie Entertainment for our wedding and it was a big success. Everything went smoothly, we didn't spend any time worrying about any of it!
One big plus of Zowie Entertainment is that you can hire one company that takes care of everything from lighting and decor to live music and DJ/Karaoke dance party and even the wedding video! We had them do it all.
What is more is that Eric asked us about our rain plans for our outdoor wedding. Well, we didn't have any, lucky for us he had a whole plan B setup and of course it did rain!
Aneliese P. Crowne Plaza, Asheville, NC December 31, 2015
Always Available to Talk To
Eric was such a wonderful DJ. He worked so well with us, and was incredibly flexible. We had to reserve pretty last minute, the timing of the event was a bit of a mess, but he worked with me on everything.
He was always available to talk to, fulfilled all our requests, and knew how to play the best type of music. My guests all had such a wonderful time, I would definitely work with him again.
Nicole B. On Broadway, Asheville, NC December 31, 2015
We Had a Blast With Eric
Eric was wonderful to work with throughout our entire wedding process. When it came to planning our music for our reception, he was very accommodating and always upbeat and excited to answer our questions.
When the big day came, he was the perfect DJ! He played songs from our suggested list, as well as included requests from the crowd. Our guests complimented several times on how much fun they had dancing due to the excellent flow of the songs. There was never a lull in the excitement. We had a blast with Eric and we would recommend him to any newly engaged couples!
Leah and Tim The Venue, Asheville, NC December 31, 2015
Great to Talk To and Has Great Taste in Music!
Eric was amazing! He was fun, very receptive to our 'must play' list and he was a delight to work with! A true professional! We are all 'music snobs' for all intents and purposes and many of my guests commented about what an amazing job he did! He's also a super kind and super warm person- great to talk to and has great taste in music!
Emily & Zack Crest Center, Asheville, NC December 30, 2015
Great Suggestions That I Wasn’t Even Thinking Of
Eric was fantastic for our wedding at Rumbling Bald Resort in August. He accommodated MANY requests and kept the party going! He is fun, professional, and flexible. He also had some great ideas and suggestions that I wasn't even thinking of during the planning process. Thank you Eric!!
Mariza Rumbling Bald Resort, Lake Lure, NC December 29, 2015
Eric Took the Lead in Really Listening To The Crowd
Eric was a great DJ for our wedding this year! Having not been to many weddings in the past, I wasn't sure of what kind of music to play. With Eric's help he allowed me to choose songs I like as well as incorporate requests from guests.
Eric took the lead in really listening to the crowd's wants and everyone came back to me saying what great entertainment we had! He was so helpful in the planning process as well, with suggestions about first dances, entrances, and timing. Overall the reception would not have been nearly as fun without entertainment from Eric!
Stefanie J. Rumbling Bald Resort, Lake Lure, NC December 29, 2015
Enthusiastically Recommend Him for Any Event!
Eric was fantastic! From start to finish, he kept the crowd entertained with his singing/guitar playing and spinning excellent dance tunes! He is so talented, I would definitely hire him again and enthusiastically recommend him for any event!
Shari B. Rock Hill, SC December 28, 2015
Performed the Most Beautiful Vocals
Wow! If you want a fun, professional musician/DJ, hire Eric Everett to perform beautiful vocals, instrumentals, and handle all your dancing requests! He is truly a one-man-show and performed the most beautiful vocals accompanied by his guitar and background music. He even performed a duet with a professional vocalist of the Chicago chorus -BEAUTIFUL!- and they practiced together ONCE!
He has a voice and style perfect for any setting -especially our outdoor Smoky Mountain/lakeside wedding. Eric is also a fun DJ! If you want a song played he'll find it! His light show was pretty amazing too! He rocked our private dance floor until the wee hours! We LOVE Eric - you will love working with the nicest musician out there!
Cheryl L. Wedding Planner, Atlanta, GA December 27, 2015
Everything Was Beyond Perfect
The reception was perfect! The music you played was great, and I know everyone had a blast! I’ve had several people come with feedback about how great the party was. You read the mood very well! I’m sad I didn’t get to hear all of your music before the ceremony, but what I did get to hear walking down the aisle and then during the sand ceremony was beautiful!
I am so glad we ran into you at that bridal show! Seriously – everything was beyond perfect. Thank you so much for everything you did for our special day!
Bobbi and John G. Atlanta, GA December 27, 2015
He Made Our Wedding Wonderful and Seamless
Eric was fantastic. We hired him only a couple months before our wedding and he was extremely accommodating and patient with us. He made our wedding wonderful and seamless. I would definitely recommend him!
Hilary H. Arboretum, Asheville, NC December 26, 2015
A Fantastic Value For The Services He Provided
Eric was a great choice to be our DJ for our wedding reception. He was extremely professional, flexible, easy to communicate with, great with music and announcements, and a fantastic value for the services he provided. He made sure that everything ran smoothly and on time. I would highly recommend him for any event with music, dancing, and/or announcements. he is apparently a great acoustic guitarist as well.
Billy C. Altamont Theater, Asheville, NC December 26, 2015
Everything Was So Thoughtful and Genuine
Eric needs 6 stars for all of these! He really was amazing. He worked with us financially to make sure our day was exactly what I wanted. He was so professional in every aspect of our big day. Our guests really enjoyed his music and he had the perfect tone for everything. I am so grateful I snatched him up for our June wedding. He will make sure that everything that you need is what you get and then some. He even surprised me with some extra pictures from our big day. Everything was so thoughtful and genuine. I can not rave about him enough!
Elizabeth N. Laurel Ridge Country Club, Waynesville, NC December 25, 2015
Guests Complimented on How Personable & Helpful He Was
It was an absolute joy working with Eric for our wedding reception! He was quick to respond to all emails, kind, professional & on point. Many of our guests complimented on how personable & helpful he was. His flexibility & willingness to do what he could to help make that day special for us was beyond wonderful! We are extremely appreciative & grateful to have had Eric be a part of our special day & memories! Thank you Eric!
Katarina V. Bedford, TX December 25, 2015
One of the best choices we made for our wedding!
Eric was so easy to work with. He was very flexible and relaxed, which helped make our wedding day less stressful. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He made every effort to have every obscure song we wanted on our playlist :), and also took in many of our bridal party's requests at the drop of a dime. He truly worked with us to make sure that not only the music, but his set-up, was something that we wanted. He was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!
Heidi V. Sourwood Inn, Asheville, NC December 17, 2015
A Great Job Reading The Crowd
Eric did a wonderful job with everything. Before the event I emailed him multiple times updating and changing songs and even services that Eric was providing. I added services about a week or two out to what Eric was already providing and he was willing to work with me and made all the changes that I requested.
Eric played guitar for the seating of guests at the ceremony, played recorded music for the ceremony, provided a sound recording of the ceremony, provided uplights at the reception, played music on separate speakers during the cocktail hour, and most importantly Eric got guests out on the dance floor and kept them out there. I have been told over and over by guests how wonderful of a job Eric did with the music. I left all the music up to Eric during the dancing at the reception and he did a great job reading the crowd.

Eric Has an Eye For Putting The Right Lighting
I would highly recommend Zowie Entertainment. I have used them for several events for many years. Eric has an eye for putting the right lighting up for your event. As an MC Eric is the best. Courteous, professional and fun. We will be using Zowie Entertainment at our next event.

We had a great time with the hunt!
We had a great time with the hunt! Some of them were really tricky but the bride still had a great time. She especially loved how the story ended with dog adoption and the Zowie bucks were really cute! She said, "Eagles and dogs - perfect!!" Thank you for putting it together.

It Was My Favorite and Most Memorable Team Day Yet
What a night! We had Asheville Party host a dinner mystery for our team building event, and it was my favorite and most memorable team day yet. The storyline, delivery and improv was spot on... highly recommended!

Eric’s Even Temperament Is An Outstanding Quality
Eric’s even temperament is an outstanding quality. When the times of our dramatic life are most stressful, he remains calm and professional with his responsibilities.

Impressive to Watch
It is impressive to watch his work come to fruition in the hands of youthful, enthusiastic amateurs, especially in work with sound and lighting, where he is particularly adept.
Cary F. Drama Dept Head, Rye Country Day School December 16, 2015
He Could Solve Almost Any Dramatic Problem
It seemed as though he could solve almost any dramatic problem through the deft manipulation of simple lighting, blocking, and staging techniques, usually with the absolute minimum of set design when our program had almost no budget or resources for sets.
Jonathan R. Principal, Buckley School, New York City December 16, 2015
He Has Enormous Patience
He is very good working with students, as he has enormous patience for their non-expertise, and he allows them the opportunity to be creative within his already set definition.
Cary F. Drama Dept Head, Rye Country Day School, NY December 15, 2015
Best Example Of His Genius:
I think this is the best example of his genius: his ability to add to the quality of any program with which he comes into contact, from a professional production in a New York City theater festival to a middle school production of Julius Caesar to the most basic skit that a handful of less than totally cooperative 8-year old boys and girls will put on for a camp talent night (with all of an hour to prepare).

Director-Playwright-Producer-Designer-Technician
Mr. Everett is one of the most valuable multi-talented students in the history of our Drama Studies program: a director-playwright-producer-designer-technician, often simultaneously.

Most Amazing About Eric is the Lack of Ego
Perhaps most amazing about Eric is the lack of ego and the lack of personal drama that he brings to his work. In a field rife with big personalities yearning for the recognition of center stage, Eric does his work behind the scenes, for the good of the actors, actresses and students involved.
Jonathan R. Principal, Buckley School, New York City December 11, 2015
He Gave Us The Vision
Due to his presence and his professionalism, he gave us the vision to take our program to the next level not only through his drama coaching but also in his expert reevaluation of our stage and theater needs.

It Was The First Time I Laughed Like That
Thank you so much... really - we're STILL talking about that.(singing telegram) I forget if I mentioned it to you at all but right before you came in the room, they had sent in a holistic nurse to see me. He does Reiki (which I knew nothing about before this hospital visit!) and he was talking with me about positive energy and intuition.
I was telling him how scared I was that some of the doctors didn't seem to believe just how much pain I've been in and he was saying I just needed to focus my energy on healing and on positive, happy things...that if I focus hard enough, they will happen. About 30 seconds later, my fiancé came in the room and said "You're not going to believe what's about to happen." because the nurse had told him you were a singing telegram headed my way.
And seriously..15 seconds later there you were with your guitar singing the lyrics "I saw her face, now I'm a believer". Is that crazy or what?! The holistic guy heard you singing in the hallway and he said he just burst out laughing because of how ironic the whole thing was! I had goosebumps! I just had to tell you that It was amazing. You really have a gift and your energy was so contagious, it was the first time I laughed like that all month. I can't thank you enough for that!

A Wonderful Way to Learn
When Eric Everett asked me to write a letter of reference for him I was thrilled, as this act allowed me to give a little back to a person who has given so much himself.
Eric is a grade A performer – not only is he a talented musician but, perhaps more importantly, he has the gift of performance. What I mean by this is his ability to read a crowd as he puts on a show so he can make any necessary adjustments needed to maximize the pleasure of the audience and the message that he conveys. I’m guessing that his unique gift is derived from the time he has spent as a teacher.
My own children absolutely adore his performance of Triple E. They know practically every word of his CD. He involves kids so they are having fun, but they are still listening. The message does not get lost. He offers a wonderful way to learn.

We Love Your Songs!
We very much enjoyed having you play at Alyssa’s party! You are great with the kids, getting them going, etc. Plus we love your songs! It was extra special that we already knew the songs from the CD. When you were getting ready for them to jump the river and sing the Vine-to-Vine song, I saw Alyssa so excited standing in front of you with her hands kind of clasped, sort of jumping with excitement!
It was very special for both of my kids and they have talked about it since. We were very pleased to give the CD’s out as the party favors! My kids have really got a lot out of the songs (through repeated listening) about the environmental/animal issues. Hopefully, the songs will sink-in to a few of the 14 other kids who were there! Good luck with all your plans for the cause! I have to tell you, the weekend following Alyssa’s party we made a trip to New Paltz, NY. I think all the way up and all the way back we listened to Animal Party!

A Great Gift for Your Child
As the owner of a toy store I highly recommend this for kids of all ages. I have played Eric’s CD in my store and have gotten many great responses to it.
I have also had the pleasure of hearing Eric sing live and was very impressed as were the customers in my store. A great gift for your child or another.

She Was THRILLED
Just a note to say you were WONDERFUL Friday night, and helped make Katie’s (17th birthday) party such a big success. Thank you SO very much.
Just to let you know that the video arrived on Christmas Eve, so I was able to wrap it and put it under the tree for Katie. And she was THRILLED when she opened it up on Christmas morning. So, again, thank you VERY, very much for all your help.

Working With Eric Was A Dream!
Working with Eric was a dream! We met a few weeks before the event and walked through each room and talked through the vision, then he went back through and took measurements. He stayed in touch with me along the way, checking in to see which fabrics I liked and so on. I felt very much a part of the creative process.
The set up went smoothly and the night of the event…amazing! Everything came together exactly as I had envisioned. I could not have been more pleased. Eric was fun and professional and was able to work within my budget. I can’t wait to work with him again and again!

Singing Telegram Sensation!!! (5 stars)
Eric you were Epic!! I've watched the video a hundred times and cannot stop laughing!
To the readers: I hired Eric to create a unique singing telegram for my daughter's 21st birthday and deliver it to her within a 15 minute "window of opportunity" at her college cafeteria. I gave Eric a short list of my daughter's interests, activities, and "embarrassing moments" for him to exploit - all in clean fun - and allowed him and his creativity to run with it. On the big day, Eric arrived ahead of time and fully prepared. In costume, carrying balloons and guitar, and unaffected by a cafeteria full of my daughter's peers, golf teammates, college staff, professors and even the President of the College ... Eric delivered flawlessly ... engaging friends and onlookers to clap and sing along. My daughter's red-faced expressions of shock and horror while desperately trying to maintain some semblance of composure during "her telegram" were proof positive of a well pulled off prank! She will NEVER forget that day!!
About Eric: He was always friendly and easy to communicate with during the planning stage. He was easily accessible by phone, text, or email. He always listened well to my wishes and responded quickly to all my questions.
When all was "sung and done" - I could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish! Thank You, Triple E! 😉Linda B. Orange County, CA January 2, 2015
It Reminded Me of the New School House Rock Sound.
Animal Party clearly demonstrates your commitment to creating interesting and educational content for children. In particular, your approach to music is fresh and clearly distinguishable from the vast canon of saccharine music for this age group. The music reminded us of children's media, and it reminded me of the new School House Rock sound.

The Sword Fight With 4 Preschoolers Was So Entertaining!
Awesome performance as Red Ranger! We hired Eric for our son’s 4th birthday party. He was fabulous and the sword fight with 4 preschoolers was so entertaining! It made me tired just watching! Thanks for your quick responses in planning and execution as well! Best birthday party ever!

Your Video Was Better Than We Even Hoped It Would Be!
Thanks, Eric, your video of Ava’s party was better than we even hoped it would be! It was so easy to work with you, and you brought such a friendly and upbeat vibe to the party.
Your confidence in bringing 25 little kids into some kind of order and then persuading them with patience and humor to make a story — that really helped me to relax and enjoy my daughter’s birthday. When we looked back at the DVD I realized what an awesome time they were having. I’ll recommend you to my friends!
Robin N. Waccabuc, NY December 18, 2014

We LOVE The Movie
I just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. Amelia and all of her friends had a wonderful time. Your rapport and order with the girls was amazing. We can’t wait to see the movie!
(2 weeks later)
We LOVE the movie. It is such a wonderful memory of Amelia’s 8th birthday. I can’t tell you how excited the expressions of all their little faces were when I handed them the movie. They couldn’t wait to go home and watch. I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from all of the families. They love knowing and watching exactly what we did at the party. Amelia loves her movie and watches it all the time. Thanks again for organizing such a great party and providing us with a movie that captures the creative spirit of our girl. You certainly exceeded my expectations!
