My husband and I had our wedding at Padua Hills Theater in June last year, and were lucky enough to work with the team at Entertainment Express as part of the process. Padua Hill's only required vendor is Entertainment Express because the venue was fitted with a sound system specifically for Entertainment, and the quality of the experience was one of the main reasons we ended up hosting our wedding at Padua. The team was so thoughtful and thorough during our planning process, helping us consider different options for lighting, timeline, and songs for the processional, first dance, etc. One of the key things we wanted to include during our wedding was having a song our friend wrote and recorded be a song that played during our cocktail hour as an Easter egg for our friend to experience. Getting to share that moment with him when he realized his song was playing was a highlight to our wedding Entertainment Express brought to life. The team was also really helpful in helping us transition through the different points of our wedding, and made the day feel super cohesive. While our experience was specific to Padua, there's no doubt EE wouldn't be able to make events at other venues feel just as special. read more

I cannot recommend Entertainment Express enough! We used them for our wedding and their team was extremely organized, helpful, and polite. They provided us with a ton of insight that required us to make thoughtful decisions about the order of our ceremony, events, and music choices. We had in-depth meetings that never left us with any questions or concerns. The team was always thoughtful and helpful in their approach. On our wedding day the team was professional, calm, and helpful. They were happy to assist with any issues we were having and had a calm approach to us. We never felt stressed or nervous as their team was organized. Lastly, the team was just genuinely nice and down to earth individuals. They were happy to provide insight to other wedding vendors, wedding choices and ideas that proved to be helpful, and left us having a hard time saying goodbye. Thank you team! You were the absolute best! read more

We had the privilege of using Entertainment Express for our wedding on 2.23.25. Yes they are expensive but what part of a wedding isnt these days in 2025? They are very well organized. We worked with Brett thru the entire process. From when we first came to Padua, to our initial meeting to our second meeting to our actual wedding day. They are very organized, professional and super friendly. Patiently answering all of our questions. They even answered all of out emails in a timely fashion. When the actual big day came everything was ready to go. Everything was taken care of. The volume was great. They took care of the time line so we didnt have to worry about what was next to be done. The GOBO on the wall in the dance hall was amazing. Lighting was on point. Music was great too with the transitioning of songs. The energy was amazing which translated to no awkward silences, so everyone had a good time. My only small critique though was the amount of bubbles made for the first dance. It was only a couple of them, as suppose to what I imagined it to be. It was very anticlimactic. But fortunately our photographer was able to capture some of the bubbles in the frame of our first dance which was amazing!! And there were a couple times either the wrong song was played or the music didnt come on (cake cutting). But it just added yo thr memorableness of the day. And at the end of the night we were very satisfied with their work. Overall we had a great experience with them at Padua Theater. They are the only DJ you can use here. But they dont take it for granted or lightly. They do a great job. And a special shout out to Brett for doing a great job from beginning to end. And making our night even more memorable and as stress free as possible!!! read more

Brett and Entertainment Express were F***ING AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure our day ran perfectly. I have worked with dozens of DJs and executed hundreds of weddings as a former wedding coordinator, and this team is extremely talented. Every transition was smooth, every moment was perfectly timed, and the flow of the whole night was seamless. I understand the whole team worked together to produce a perfect wedding, but Brett specifically was an absolute joy to work with. Just trust him and let his experience lead the way. Everything was SO EASY. We truly couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out. Our guests are still talking about how great the night was. I truly believe the DJ/ Production team is the most important part of planning a modern wedding and this team will ensure EVERYTHING else will naturally fall into place. Thank you guys so much for our beautiful wedding! -- Devin & Sarah read more

Tl;dr: Hire these guys if you want to ensure you and all your guests have an awesome time that will be talked about for weeks after. We hired Entertainment Express for our wedding at Padua Hills and, although you must use them for Padua's venue, I would've still hired them in a heartbeat. The main thing is that they listen to you. From our initial consultation, all of it was about what we wanted, what vibes we were looking for, never offering unsolicited suggestions if we already had something in mind, and their advice only served to enhance what we were thinking. Their main goal is to give you the event experience you always wanted. Even though some of our choices were a little unorthodox, they wholeheartedly embraced it and made us feel good about everything we were doing. Plus their experience really shone when they asked us the right questions so that every detail was accounted for, down to the minute (but still allowing for flexibility). Their questionnaire is amazingly thorough. Evan was a true showman who knew the vibe we were hoping for and executed flawlessly. From welcoming the guests to prepping us before our walk-in, to moving the night along, Evan is a master at his craft. He kept things fun and light, the dollar centerpiece giveaway game had the reception roaring with laughter, and my husband and I were able to relax and focus on enjoying ourselves because he had our backs. Thank you Evan, our awesome DJ Scott who spun tunes that kept everyone on the dance floor, and Entertainment Express for helping create a night that people are still talking about. read more

Entertainment Express were so awesome and beyond THOROUGH and METICULOUS for our wedding, ensuring that no stone was left unturned with not only music and presentation, but also run of show, flow, backup plans, and helping us to think outside the box. More important, as a same-sex couple, they were very conscientious of all formalities and non-gender specific paperwork and planning. They truly made our night magical, embraced us and our guests, and made the planning process a bonus fond memory of our wedding. Thank you to Brett, Evan, Bree, and their team, I cannot rave enough about them all. Cheers! read more

Entertainment Express provided the emcee and dj for our wedding at Garner House and we couldn't have been happier with their service. They made sure that everything went smoothly and that everyone had fun. They were so easy to work with. We gave them a few dozen songs we enjoyed and they put together a great play list that all of our guests enjoyed. read more

We loved everything about working with Entertainment express. Every staff member we interacted with was super knowledgable and offered great advice, and we had no technical issues with the mics, or with the playlists. Our favorite part was the in depth package they have you fill out so that every detail is covered- from the songs you want played at exact moments, to any potential tension with family members. We felt that they really "got" the vibe and tone we wanted for the wedding, and they made sure to help us execute it. And if you're getting married at Padua where are the in-house DJ's, be sure to get the low lying fog or bubbles, as they were both all people could talk about. read more

We could not say enough positive things about Entertainment Express and how flawless they made the whole wedding planning process and the day itself. The entire team is absolutely incredible. There was no need for a wedding planner or coordinator. They did such a fantastic job being in charge of the timeline and making sure there were smooth transitions and also letting all of our guests know what was going on at all times and where to be. We attended a few bridal shows at Padua Hills Theatre and got to meet and interact with Brett and Evan on multiple occasions and they are just such a delight to be around. Brett was our MC and he was just the absolute BEST!!! Regardless of if we booked our wedding at Padua or not, we would have absolutely booked with Entertainment Express and I would again and again for any other events. I wish we could get married every weekend to spend time with them! We even had such a great time at our planning meeting with Evan and he was so helpful with the song picking process. I thought it was going to be overwhelming and difficult but it really wasn't. We had a wonderful time and laughed and cried. If I could give them 100 stars I would!!! Thank you Brett, Evan, Bree and the rest of your team for being so amazing and making our day the most magical day of our lives!! read more

At first I was kinda apprehensive about Padua's mandatory policy to utilize Entertainment Express as our MCs and DJ. However, in the end they more than exceeded our expectations!

Our guests were so pleased with the production with many telling us that our wedding was so fun and well planned! Listen, don't think just book. You will not regret the unforgettable experience these guys will provide. read more

From beginning to end, Entertainment Express played a huge roll in making our wedding night one that we will never forget. Evan was our amazing MC for the evening and kept our guests happy and entertained. Scott kept the party going as our DJ and played all the songs we had on our request list, which made me want to dance the rest of the night! This night was 14 months in the making. They guided us before and during the wedding. We had no idea how much work would be involved. Evan made it easy with a little bit of homework to help us pick the songs we wanted for all the memorable moments of the night. We definitely recommend Entertainment Express for any event especially for weddings! read more

We hired Entertainment Express for our wedding, and they truly exceeded our expectations. From the ceremony to the last song of the evening, they handled all of the audio setup flawlessly. The MC was incredibly well organized, ensuring that the transitions from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, dinner, and beyond went smoothly and in line with our timeline. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just how we envisioned it. After dinner, the MC hosted a couple of games--musical chairs and a scavenger hunt--that were a huge hit. We've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about how much fun they had. Then when the dance floor opened The DJ was phenomenal! The music selection was spot-on, and the blending of songs kept the dance floor absolutely packed for the entire night. Our guests couldn't stop dancing!

We had so many moving parts and surprises (including my sister's proposal!), and they hit it out of the park. Our guests continued to express how much fun they had for weeks--it was literally the best day. Their experience and equipment combined makes them stand out from the rest. One guest even told us that they felt they were at a Vegas nightclub during the late night open dancing! Entertainment Express is the real deal. We love them!! read more

[Please note: Our MC was Evan with Entertainment Express] Of all our vendors, services, and wedding day coordinators - Entertainment Express deserves the crowning recognition of MVP, without a doubt. Prior to the day itself, we met several times with EE to review music choices, timeframe of the days events and to be supported through the many entertainment options they provide. EE was not only able to include any music selections we could dream of, but they were also able to connect us with additional vendors such as our Italian Espresso machine, a Craps table with professional dealer and on-site cigar rollers. It was important to us that our guests had a variety of choices when it came to entertainment at our wedding and EE certainly delivered. There was also time and care given to the colors and coordinating lighting that would best suit the atmosphere we hoped to create for our day. In the days following our wedding we reflected on who had the most impact on ensuring our special day felt like a success. We couldn't stop talking about how impressive EE's organization of our day, positive energy when interacting with our guests and overall professionalism was in providing us with an incredible wedding experience. In addition to how impressed we felt, we also received a multitude of compliments from guests on how smooth the day progressed, the mix and flow of music and the variety of provided entertainment. Evan's joyful energy and genuine interactions with guests were highly noted. As the bride, I appreciated how often EE checked in with me - particularly when I first arrived. EE's guidance of our scheduled events and overall attentiveness in ensuring I was informed and supported with any questions or concerns I might have had throughout the evening put me at ease. Looking back, we both acknowledge Evan and the Entertainment Express team with providing us with the stability and assurance we needed on such an important day. Entertainment Express are an absolute credit to the Padua Weddings family and my husband and I could not be happier with their services. Thank you Evan and Entertainment Express! read more

I have to say I am critical of service companies that support life events. Weddings, special parties, etc are events that leave memories( good and bad) with hosts and guests. Scott, Brett, Evan and Ben CREATED long lastly wonderful memories over 2 nights of Holiday Parties for us! They are not your normal DJ company. They take service and unique to another level. Pre planning, great equipment, showing up early, working with all teams involved all were fantastic. Once our parties started and they had already set the stage for a great night they read the guests to keep them dancing, celebrating and creating memories. EE Team thanks for creating an Experience that ended in life memories! The HARGRAVES read more

Anyone who has been involved in planning a wedding knows how difficult and stressful the event can be. Brett and Evan from Entertainment Express helped alleviate those worries with their thorough and detailed oriented intake process. One thing I truly appreciated about working with them both was their positive attitudes and attentiveness. They were both very helpful in every step of the planning. From picking the music to figuring out what package was right for us, everything went smoothly. One invaluable service that they offer is the creation of a timeline of the event, which kept things well-organized and appropriately paced. They also worked with our other vendors, especially our wedding coordinator, exceptionally well. I felt like they listened to what we wanted and made useful suggestions. Brett did a great job as the emcee and made sure everything sounded very good. Overall, everyone including ourselves had a great time and that was in no small part due to the hard work of the staff from Entertainment Express. A huge thank you to all of the whole Entertainment Express team for making our special day that much more special. read more

For anyone and everyone planning a wedding! My now husband and I had such a wonderful experience with Entertainment Express. When we decided to get married at Padua Hills Theatre, we were recommended to Entertainment Express by the venue. We were PLEASANTLY SURPRISED that this was not going to be another average DJ experience. When we signed our initial contract, we were given a homework packet that allowed us to pick the music and plan our wedding minute by minute! As a bride, this is an absolute dream. It was the perfect way to organize everything for the wedding, which allowed us to feel confident and calm knowing they were going to handle the evening. During the actual night of our wedding, Brett was our MC and we could not have had a better night because of him! My husband and I were so grateful for his kindness, humor, positive attitude and ability to charismatically keep the crowd fun. He did such a great job communicating and announcing to our guests what was next on the agenda for the evening, allowing my husband and I to enjoy the night, knowing everything was going smoothly.

Brett, Evan and the EE team are all gems. We felt an immediate kinship with Brett, who also had a Halloween wedding, and he went above and beyond in planning sessions and as our MC to give us a magical and enchantingly spooky special day. They came up with great suggestions and incorporated our ideas beautifully. Guests told us the pacing of the wedding was perfect, and that was all EE. The lighting, fog, and bubble package really gave us a wedding friends are still talking about. One co-worker shared that the bubbles and fog got him on the dance floor and he hadn't danced in a decade! That was the magical and alluring vibe that EE created. We're so thankful to them for realizing our dreams and making them even better! Their suggestion to incorporate themed music (a Disney haunted mansion moment during the cake cutting, for example) kept guests laughing and having a great time. They are the best and we're so grateful!! read more
