I used to think a DJ is just a DJ, they play your music, and most of that music is premixed or downloaded anyways so why spend much on a DJ. Since Revolution Entertainment provided reasonable pricing (and they are the DJ for the Spartan race) I figured I'd give them a try. Leading up to the wedding, and for the wedding, Chris from revolution entertainment couldn't have been more helpful. He was very responsive to every question that we had, was knowledgeable, and such a pleasure to deal with. He helped us out with every decision that we needed help with. What type of music, where and when we needed music to be played, what type of lighting for the DJ, suggestions for lighting at the venue... The list goes on. He even came and sat with us as we went through the checklist with our venue and I was thinking "isn't this a waste of his time?". But the day of our wedding was what really set him apart. We could not have asked for a better DJ. His music choices, his ability to read the mood of the event and to play music that was appropriate, him MCing some of the wedding games for us, Chris truly was awesome and went above and beyond what we had expected! Even my best man at my wedding (who's wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks) regretted not going with revolution entertainment for his wedding. Don't be that guy (even though he is a great guy), go with revolution entertainment. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Chris for making the night so unforgettable! My group of friends are moderate partiers at best (many of us are accountants...), but still there was a good crowd of us that stayed till 1am! We closed the place down, and it was all thanks to Revolution Entertainment. Oh last but not least, we also went with Revolution Entertainment for the photobooth. Everyone had a blast with it, and Revolution Entertainment provided us with a digital copy of every photo for our memories. This too was greatly appreciated and helps because we can now share them! read more

Well I was just looking for the number to Revolution to give to a friend who needs a DJ, and I noticed the one review on this site and it's a 1/5. Which completely disagrees with my experience, Having booked with Chris at Revolution entertainment for years and recommended them as a reliable source of party engineering excellence(they call themselves party engineers!) often times with photo booth, I have never encountered the problems that were described, just to be sure I checked an old USB from an event we hosted and there are a few fuzzy pictures which like Chris responded are probably due to (often inebriated merry makers moving too much during the shot) but overall the pictures look great, people seem to love dressing silly and capturing the moment and their DJs are the most fun I have ever seen! There you go Chris I hope you read this! You guys are awesome read more

If the mic hadn't cut out 2 minutes into our wedding ceremony there would have been five stars. Great DJ! Aaron even had my parents out on the floor. read more

We rented a photo booth for our company Christmas party. We have used other photo booths in the past and loved the high end quality however our regular company doubled their prices. We used Revolution Entertainment this time and were incredibly disappointed. The pictures came out blurry and distorted not to mention the color. The tech spent half of our use time trying to rectify the issues and essentially said nothing else I can do its a poor camera. We contacted Chris at Revolution Entertainment and his response was we can't satisfy everyone. read more

We hired this company to provide A/V for our professional corporate event after we were assured by them that they could provide everything we wanted. It turns out they were very amateur, didn't provide most of what we requested, had to rent equipment but not what we wanted, provided a technician who had very little knowledge of our requests and then they charged us way too much. We could have rented two speakers for 1/10th of what we paid because basically that was the only thing that was good. We went over our specification list three times to confirm that they could provide everything and spoke with Chris, their manager (?) to confirm it all again. After my conversation with him, I felt assured all would be great. The lapel mics failed three times, we handled our own video requirements because they couldn't and we had to prepay for their service. When confronted with the shortcomings they put the blame on us and refused to offer any kind of discount or refund. If you want a wedding DJ they might be good but if you need a professional A/V company, DO NOT use these guys. They are an expensive joke! read more

My company had a contract with Revolution Entertainment for their open air photobooth for 2 hours for our Christmas party in November of 2015. They were scheduled to arrive at 6pm for set up with service to run from 8-10pm. No one arrived at 6pm. 7pm rolled around and still no one had arrived, I left a voicemail with my contact at Revolution Entertainment but I never heard back from anyone. Someone finally showed up at our venue a little after 7:30pm....more than an hour and half late!!! He started setting up and then realized when he was almost finished set up that he did not have a key that he needed to get the booth functioning. He offered to drive back to the shop to grab the key and come back to our venue but that it would take some time since the shop is all the way in NE Calgary and he needed to drive there and back to our venue downtown. By this time it was already passed 8pm which was supposed to be our START time. There was no way he would be able to return until 9:30pm earliest and 10pm was our scheduled END time and also the time people started leaving the event. So we asked him if we could get our money back since clearly we were not going to get a 8-10pm photobooth service as outlined in our contract! He stepped away for a few minutes to make a call to someone (I assumed it was a manager), and when he returned he said that a refund would be provided. NO mention of a cancelation fee. Since we didn't have a functioning photobooth and were offered a full refund we agreed that he could leave. So he packed up his things and left. It was very diappointing for both myelf (as the event planner) and our guests. For the remainder of the weekend I never once received a phone call from anyone providing an apology or an explanation. The following Monday at work, I emailed my point of contact at Revolution Entertainment to inquire about how to get our refund. I received an email back saying that since we canceled the service, we would have to pay a cancelation fee and they would refund us our deposit minus the cancelation fee. This was quite annoying since we DID NOT cancel!! First of all, they showed up LATE and did not show up with a functioning photobooth. How could we cancel a service that never could've happened?! And to top it all, they had the nerve to say we were going to get charged a cancelation fee! The guy who showed up at our venue never once mentioned a cancelation fee. He just told us we would get a full refund. I emailed back and told them that our company should not be on the hook for paying a cancelation fee and that we were told we would be given a full refund. The email response I received was telling me that you could drive to Airdrie and back in less than an hour and that at no time were they unable to fulfill their contract and that there was a photo booth sitting in our venue, a key on-route, and another sitting in the office not 10 minutes away. I found this response to be very RUDE and inaccurate...they were NOT able to fulfill their contract because they DID NOT have a funcitoning photobooth at our venue!! And never once did the guy who showed up at our venue that night mention anything about another key being on route!! If we would've known that another key was on-route, we would've been able to possibly get the booth up and running for at least 45 mins to an hour or so (but still not the agreed upon 2 hours outlined in our contract). After some emails back and forth, we were finally able to get a full refund. It should NOT have taken that much negotiating because we were told that night we would get a refund! Although we are thankful we received a refund, we would never, ever book with Revolution Entertainment again and would never recommend them to anyone else. First they show up late, they didn't have a functioning photobooth when they finally arrived, no one returned my call, they somehow made it seem like it was OUR fault the contract wasn't fulfilled and also tried to slap us with a cancelation fee. read more
