Joe knows how to throw a party! Our wedding was unforgettable and exactly what we wanted and huge part of that is thanks to Joe. We wanted to throw a dance party for our wedding so we needed a DJ who could play the hits and keep people on the dance floor all night long. We also wanted to ensure that our musical tastes were reflected in the music selected. We wanted this gay wedding to have a gay dance party! That's exactly what Joe did for us. During the planning process Joe was very hands on and collaborative. He helped us plan the evening and identify different moments we wanted to have. There were a few songs that we wanted to play and he ensured that he had them all for the night. He even made custom edits to a few songs for us like for our entrances or dances. The night of he was extremely attentive and got the party started immediately once the dance floor opened. People were dancing the whole night long. One moment that stood out was when he played a Portuguese song "Bate of Pé" which got everyone doing this Portuguese line dance. That was of course a requested song by us for the night, but then he transitioned out of it seamlessly into "Dança Kuduro" which was not a song we ever discussed but one I love to dance to that just worked perfectly right after. I was in shock at how perfect that was. Transitions were something we were really particular about and Joe nailed ALL OF THEM! His lighting also helped set the mood and vibe on the dance floor. It synced up perfectly to the music. During a really special moment of "Let It Go", the lights were all set to blue which really elevated that whole song and experience. The videos we have with that blue lighting is truly magical. He recorded our ceremony and speeches so that we have clear audio of those special moments. These will be great keepsakes! Joe did an exceptional job, more than we could have ever asked for. He understood the assignment and delivered! read more

Having Joe Nagan as our wedding DJ was nothing short of amazing!! As big music people, this was one of the most important parts of our day and he easily 10/10 nailed it. From day one, Joe was so easy to work with. He responded quickly, hopped on calls with us, and really took time to understand the vibe we were going for. He asked the best questions, gave us ideas we didn't even think of, and made sure every detail was covered. He also provided timeline recommendations to ensure a smooth flow between events of the night and was more than happy to provide recs that didn't always pertain to DJing (like helping us find the perfect afterparty spot since we weren't familiar with the area). Come our wedding day, Joe exceeded all expectations and multiple guests shared that it was the best wedding DJ they've experienced. The timing, the energy, the way he kept everyone on the floor for every second of our reception. It felt like he truly got us and knew exactly what to play next. You could feel the room's energy build with every song and it was simply SO much fun. Every song felt perfectly placed, every transition hit, and the flow of the night was seamless. He also had such a clean & modern setup that can easily compliment and look good with any wedding day aesthetic. We've been to enough weddings to know that the DJ's energy can make or break the night as guests totally feed off it and Joe looked like he was having the time of his life. He never once let the energy dip and definitely didn't let our guests down. You could tell that he genuinely loves what he does and we couldn't be happier with having Joe & the Exceptional Entertainment team as our DJ. We feel tremendously grateful to have had him as part of our day! If you want your guests to dance until the lights come on, this is your guy - Haley & Matt 7.27.2025 read more

We are beyond grateful to have had Joe as our wedding DJ -- he truly made our day unforgettable. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Joe was dedicated to making our wedding day as special as possible. He took the time to get to know us, our story, and the atmosphere we wanted to create. On the big day, he exceeded all our expectations. From the moment our ceremony began to the last song of the night, the music was flawless. The dance floor was packed all night -- people of all ages were up dancing, and we could tell he had a special way of reading the room and knowing just what to play next. Every transition felt smooth, and every moment felt perfectly timed. The DJ is such an important part of every wedding- they are kind of like a coach to a team. They are navigating your entire day from playing your ceremony music to transitioning between dinner, speeches and dancing. And having someone that knows what he's doing and is so kind truly made it the best experience it could have been. What really stood out to us, was how Joe went above and beyond. His warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine care for making our day perfect were felt by everyone. It's rare to find someone who not only knows how to play great music but also puts so much heart into creating an unforgettable experience. Joe didn't just play songs -- he helped craft memories that we will treasure forever. People were telling us all night and even the following days how great our DJ was! Looking back, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. If you want someone who will bring joy, professionalism, and passion to your celebration, we wholeheartedly recommend Joe. We're so happy we chose him, and we'll always remember how he made our wedding day special. read more

Five stars hardly do justice to how amazing our wedding DJ, Joe, truly was! From our very first email exchange to the last dance of the night, Joe went above and beyond every expectation we had. He didn't just play music; he had an incredible talent for reading the room, crafting the perfect atmosphere for every moment, and making our celebration truly unforgettable. Joe coordinated flawlessly with our venue, keeping everything on track without making us feel rushed. He adapted seamlessly to changes, handling everything with grace and professionalism. Whether it was the emotional depth of our ceremony music or the lively dance floor that stayed packed, every aspect of his work showcased not only his skill but also his genuine care for our special day. We are genuinely thankful for the energy, joy, and love he infused into our celebration. He helped us create something magical that we--and our guests--will cherish forever. If you're searching for a DJ who really knows how to set the mood and create an incredible atmosphere, look no further than Joe. We also want to give a shout-out to the photo booth attendant from Exceptional Entertainment. He was fantastic! At the end of the night, while most vendors were already packing up, he remained calm, friendly, and genuinely engaged as we took a few last photos. Even as the evening wound down and everyone was feeling a bit tired, he never rushed us or made us feel like we were in the way. Instead, he encouraged us to take our time, capturing those final joyful moments that now hold so much meaning for us. His patience and warmth were the perfect finishing touch to an already remarkable celebration. - Andrew & Kendra (June 28, 2025) read more

This is your DJ. Without a doubt one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding was hiring Exceptional Entertainment. We worked with Joe, and he was very communicative. He was the vendor we met with the most, and even though that may sound excessive for a DJ, it really isn't. The DJ is the life of the party for a wedding, so it's 100% worth it to invest the time & money into it if you and your guests want to have a great night. Joe did a phenomenal job with the transitions and kept people out on the dance floor. We also had their Photo Booth services and it was a hit with the guests. The picture quality was great and guests could get a copy sent to their phones immediately after. Another cool add-on they offer are their cold spark machines. If you're looking for an alternative to the sparkler exit, these have the same affect in wedding photos but less of the chaos of having to organize and manage all of your guests with sparklers. They were beautiful and definitely added a "wow factor" to the night. Overall, it truly was the best night of my life and I have Joe to thank for playing such a vital part to that. (P.S. if this wasn't enough to help convince you, three of my wedding guests actually booked with Exceptional Entertainment soon after for their own weddings because of how much fun they had!) read more

We hired Exceptional Entertainment for our Prom. The kids were hesitant to hire another DJ after having the same one the past few years that didn't have any of their song suggestions. After doing research and finding a service that has all the bells and whistles, the narrative about having a DJ changed. Promoting all Exceptional Entertainment's services, definitely brought in a bigger crowd than anticipated. The reviews from my sophomore students after Prom was "can we get that DJ next year" and "that DJ was awesome." It was great seeing so many kids up and dancing, it was even more of a pleasure to see them go crazy over the co2 cannons during an especially liked songs. The line for the photo booth was packed all night. Finally, the ground sparklers for the announcement of the court members made the moment so special. read more

I've worked with Joe for many years in my role as a wedding planner and have referred him to countless couples, but experiencing him as my own wedding DJ completely blew me away. From start to finish, Joe was phenomenal. His planning app made it so easy for us to add our must-play songs, and he turned that list into the most seamless, high-energy mix that kept the dance floor packed all night long. Every transition was flawless, the vibe was spot-on, and he somehow knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the momentum going. Our guests are still talking are how much fun they had! Joe is professional, personable, and an absolute master of his craft. I couldn't imagine our wedding without him and would recommend him a thousand times over. I can't thank him enough for making our reception better than I ever imagined. read more

We had such a great experience working with Joe at Exceptional Entertainment. He was very organized and laid things out for us so clearly when we first met, and he responded very quickly. We hired him pretty shortly after that. From then on, he was there to answer questions and provide resources throughout our wedding planning process. When the wedding got closer, we met a few times to go over everything for the wedding so I didn't have anything to worry about. The online portal he uses made things simple and organized. Our guests and ourselves were on the dance floor the entire night. People had so much fun and every time I looked at Joe, he was engaged in his work with a smile on his face the whole time, having a great time. I highly recommend and can't say enough great things! read more

From the beginning process of wedding planning, through our ceremony, to the best part (THE PARTY) Joe absolutely nailed it. If you're looking for a DJ that does so much more than play music, look no further.

Joe was wonderful! I knew right away we were in good hands with the organization of the music/timeline website. It really helped us envision what we wanted for our day. Joe was professional and on time with meetings and on site, and kept updating us throughout the night to let us know what was next or what was going on. He even snuck in one last song for us! He played a lot of what was on our song list but also chose songs that better suit the mood for what people were dancing to. I highly recommend exceptional entertainment. I promise you will not be disappointed! We can't thank him enough! read more
