Wedding Testimonials

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.

Music, Dancing, and Matrimony!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Katarina V. Bedford, TX

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

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.

Ashley L. Kenmure Country Club, Flat Rock, NC

Eric Was An Awesome DJ

Eric was an awesome DJ. He got a great feel for what kind of music the guests and I liked. People were dancing for almost every song, including people I never expected would dance.

We Had So Much Fun!

Thanks so much!  You really did a great job (at the wedding) and we had so much fun!  We really appreciated it.  And I did get a few comments on what a great job you did, so way to go!

People Danced Until We Had To Shut It Down

Eric was a good communicator before the event and was very helpful to work with. Our wedding reception was at the Highland Brewery and people danced until we had to shut it down. I'm usually not fond of DJ's at receptions, but Eric did a nice job and the song selection was good (it kept people on the floor). I'd recommend him for a wedding event.

Daniel Highland Brewery, Asheville, NC

He Maintained High Energy

Eric is easy to work with and he has a great personality. He maintained high energy through a late night reception. We were totally satisfied with his performance as a disc jockey.

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!

The Reception Was A Hit!

We were very happy with Eric! Not only did he keep our party going but he adjusted the playlist according to what our guests were requesting... The reception was a hit! Thank you again Eric for all of your hard work!!!

Morgan Homewood, Asheville, NC

It Was Perfect!

AWESOME. We hired Eric to do our ceremony and reception. He played acoustic for the ceremony and set up his sound system for the reception. It was perfect! He did an amazing job! Very professional and very adaptable. It rained the day of our wedding so everything had to be changed around a little. I would def. recommend Eric to anyone looking for an affordable, reliable DJ.

Katie W. Maggie Valley, NC

He Kept Our Wedding On Track

Eric was everything we hoped for before and during our wedding. He kept our wedding on track and played every song we had our song list. He seems to always be in a great mood and pleasant to be around. We can't thank him enough!
