We loved working with Mike this past weekend! When I reached out, he was thoughtful and responsive…read moreand helped work with me to find a package that fit within my budget. He kept communication open in the months prior to the wedding, helping us plan the reception and timing of each event, working with our reception to coordinate, and providing recommendations that fit our style as needed. He was organized, prepared, and had excellent communication throughout the planning process and wedding night. He helped us stay on time throughout the reception (and as the bride, that was SO helpful because I had no idea what time it was all night). I couldn't have imagined a more perfect evening, and that was in huge part because of DJ Mike. I received many compliments from wedding guests on Mike - we would highly recommend him!!

Mike was the exact person/professional/DJ we needed for our 6/17/17 wedding. If we could give him…read more10 out of 5 stars, we would! From the first contact, Mike was always professional, prompt, and it was clear he knew his stuff. Not only is he great at what he does, but he is also always trying to re-innovate and stay on top of the newest trends without getting distracted from making your event the best possible. Mike is a maven of his skill, and it would be easy to see his business expanding into a full service wedding company. He kept everyone engaged, tailored the music to our exact taste, and fit seamlessly into our wedding incorporating culturally traditional pieces, and fun engaging games. He also coordinated the music in a super complicated set up without a single hiccup (3 floors plus outdoor ceremony space). Mike collaborated well with the other vendors, and even gave us some great recommendations for other vendors we had not booked yet. He was available if needed before and day of, and was honestly, the reason the bride didn't stress the day of. Certainly worth every penny and more and we could not imagine having anyone else in his place!!! Thank you so much for going above and beyond, making our day absolutely perfect!

Chris and his team were absolutely incredible to work with throughout our entire wedding planning…read moreprocess in Ithaca! I'm a detail-oriented person myself so deeply appreciated Chris' professional, highly organized, and fun presence throughout our wedding process. Chris handled so many components of our wedding - from the amplification for our ceremony, to cocktail hour music, to being our MC for the night, to the lighting, to the reception with live musicians. Everything ran so well and the dance floor was packed the entire night with guests from all walks of life and ages - family, friends, aunts and uncles alike. Before planning a wedding, I didn't realize just how critical a DJ is to making a wedding run smoothly. That person ends up being the key coordinator for the night - handling introductions, announcing and facilitating key components like first dances and speeches, and making sure the flow of the music engages all guests. Thanks to Chris, my husband and I were confident that each aspect of our wedding would be covered seamlessly. Chris also went above and beyond to make our wedding special. When we asked if he could help us find live musicians to perform alongside him, he sourced a drummer and several saxophonists for us. It made our wedding so unique, and afterwards, many guests specifically said how amazing they thought Washburn Entertainments was. Thanks SO much Chris for everything you did to make our wedding possible, you're the best! (The photos included with this review are by Chris Szulwach at The Story Photography)

Settle in for a long one, although the other previous 23 5-star ratings speak for themselves, I…read moremust add. Chris and his staff went utterly above and beyond for my wedding. Not only at the wedding itself but from the moment I inquired about him almost two years ago. During that long process, he always knew who I was, knew exactly when my wedding was and what we had talked about, and never forgot any detail at all. When I told him I wanted to make a slideshow for my mother and grandfather instead of a dance he said, "you've got a lot on your plate, would you like for me to make it instead?" OF COURSE I jumped all over it - all I had to do was give him the song and it was absolutely perfect and all three of us - my mother, grandfather, and myself were crying on the dance floor watching it. I changed first dance songs on him last minute - no problem. Needed our new song cut down and processional edited - he was on it! Then sent them to me on the agreed upon date to listen and review and, they were exactly what I had asked him to do! In fact, I wanted a fade out instead of a cut off and he was on it and on the day of we got our perfect fade out! He was perfect and spot on with our music tastes - an eclectic, strange range - playing disney instrumental before the ceremony, bluegrass and blues, elvis and michael buble and then almost entirely Rupaul for our reception (at least from what I remember!) there was enough for everyone! He was incredible at reading the crowd, spoke when necessary, and mostly just hung in the background making sure people stayed engaged and present. The highlight, BY FAR, is his use of TVs. He had taken footage of us leaving our ceremony, posing for pictures alone and with our party, and a little during our first dance which was so essential for me to have some concrete memories of the day. It all goes by so quickly, and I had a bit of wedding amnesia, and his video and pictures were essential to commit the day to memory. But OF COURSE we got all the raw footage he took in a Dropbox for us to review and use as we'd like. His staff were friendly, professional, Tori was just the right amount of professional and fun - I dare say she upstaged me at my own wedding with her sweet, sweet dance moves and I loved every second of it! THANK YOU CHRIS & TEAM! I just wish we had more family events that we could hire you for more often!!

During dinner the music was at the perfect level so people could enjoy the music, but it wasn't to loud so you had to yell across the table to talk to someone. He was also very good at incorporating the music we wanted played along with music he knew would work for getting everyone up and dancing on the floor. We also decided to use the photo booth from them and everyone loved it we quickly learned that if we couldn't find someone dancing they were using the photo booth. This is what he does for a living and is very good at making sure you feel comfortable about what is going to happen the day of your wedding music wise. I highly recommend him, but also suggest to book him as soon as you know your date he books fast. We got lucky with our date. Photo Credit - Nicole Gatto Photography Buffalo, NY

Numerous people have asked us for recommendations and we thought it might be helpful to showcase how amazing he is with a Q&A someone asked us to fill out: Please continue to read on... Q - What kind of DJ was he? A - He was polite and extremely professional. He listened to our ideas and preferences and performed accordingly. He did nothing we did not like. Q - Did he talk to the crowd a lot or not? A - He talked to the crowd as appropriate. Enough to keep them involved but not so much that he bothered the guests all night (we requested he be more on the quite side, my husband and I hate it when DJ's are extremely vocal - to us that feels cheesy). I am sure if you tell him you would like him to be more involved he would be happy to do that. Q - Was he corny or more laid back? A - I don't think Paul has a corny bone in his body. He was very confident and laid back for the entire reception. He has an air of calm, confidence about him that we really loved and so did our guests! Q - How comfortable did he feel with the microphone? A - He seemed completely at home with the microphone, and all of his equipment. Again, he has a confidence that radiates and his experience is resoundingly evident. Q - How was his song selection? A - His song selection was great - we gave him a list of songs to play, to NOT play, and other examples of what we like and he became our own "pandora radio" we couldn't have been happier. He was extraordinarily in tune with what my wife and I were looking for. Q - Did he work with you beforehand to understand your likes/dislikes, and did he incorporate those into the reception? A - Yes, absolutely, he met with us a few times before the wedding and gave us forms to fill out, explained everything he could/would do and then let us pick what we wanted and did not want and made other adjustments as we wanted. It was completely customized to our taste, needs and wants. I hope this review was informative. Paul made the most important day of our lives an unbelievable experience with as little stress as humanly possible. He was the advocate and stability our amazing day needed and we couldn't fathom it going any other way. Truly amazing.

I had a few odd song selections they found without a problem, and they filled in the gaps when I wasn't sure what to play. They did both outdoor sound for the ceremony and indoor sound for the reception. Ray also did the emceeing and graciously stepped in to send guests to the buffet when the caterer slacked on us. The only thing I wish they had done was visit the location beforehand to work out some kinks making sure the sound was audible everywhere and some other logistical things were a bit smoother. I'd highly recommend them however and they were very reasonably priced!
