Could not have asked for a better wedding 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 provided and going above and beyond for us on our big day!

So Glad 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!

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!

The Most Fun and Uniquely Interactive Wedding

Really enthusiastic and creative, Eric took our plans and made a night of it! He has developed a skillset and instinct with facilitating group events and we were glad we hired him. We enjoyed working with him and liked his confidence in our plans. He even produced a personal version of “Tandem (Gangum) Style” song that made for a super fun entry of the bridal party.

During the karaoke portion of our night, he was prepared with pre-picked songs but also flexible to changes and developments. In fact, people said it was the funnest, most uniquely interactive wedding and wedding reception they’ve ever been to. Some said most special wedding experience they’ve ever had! Eric was a big part of that happening and took a lot of the burden of facilitating off our shoulders.

Thanks, Eric!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
