Wedding Receptions
Make E & J Entertainment part of your special day!
Our Philosophy
E&J Entertainment DJs (left to right): Jason, Adam and Edward. We are a small company who books only one wedding per night, so your reception gets our full focus and attention!
Our Philosophy At E&J Entertainment, we hold the belief that your wedding reception will be the biggest party that you'll ever host. The importance of advance planning to coordinate the night's events and music is instrumental to have a successful reception. When you book a wedding reception with E&J, we don't just show up for your reception and play music, we work with you from day one in order to help make your vision of a perfect wedding reception come to fruition. We will sit down with you in person to go over important details to help make this not just another wedding reception, but one that reflects your own personal tastes that people will remember for years to come! Since we have helped facilitate so many weddings, we are able to make suggestions to help guide and enhance your reception. We will walk you through the reception from start to finish so we can all be on the same page and have the same vision for your once-in-a-lifetime event. With careful attention to detail, good communication and plenty of advance planning, E&J Entertainment is the only choice for your wedding reception!
Why Choose E&J Entertainment?
E&J Entertainment is a first-rate mobile DJ service that specializes in wedding receptions. When it comes to your event, Ed and Jason will take the time to personally plan your event so that your guests will leave your party thoroughly entertained and dazzled by the song selection that kept them moving all night long! When you book an event with E&J, you can look forward to the following features:
*Unrivaled customer service, professionalism and attention to detail from the first phone call to the post-event follow-up. We are a small business, so you are dealing directly with the DJs who will be attending your event--not a booking agent who farms out your wedding reception to any Johnny-come-lately with a few CDs and fancies himself a DJ.
FACT: After their reception, 78% of brides say they would have made entertainment their number ONE priority if they had to plan their wedding over again. We make YOU our number one priority from the minute you hire us!
*Two DJs for the price of one! Both Edward and Jason will be DJing your event, dressed to the nines in matching tuxedo suits and ready to entertain! With two DJs, one can act as the disc jockey while the other handles the Master of Ceremonies duties (grand introductions, bridal dances, garter toss, cake cutting, etc.). One of us is free to interact with the bride, groom and guests, while the other handles the musical cues. Furthermore, having two DJs allows us to help facilitate the events of the evening (Where is the photographer for the cake cutting? We'll find her! Where is dad for the father/daughter dance? We'll track him down! Where is the bouquet for the bouquet toss? We'll get it from the car!)
FACT: A recent survey found that 91% of brides, if they were to plan their reception over again, would choose a company that sends a two-person team to handle entertainment. With E&J Entertainment, you are following the advice of 91% of all brides!
*In-person consultations and detailed planning sheets will help guide you through the unfamiliar and sometimes confusing task of planning your reception. We lend to you our years of experience helping facilitate wedding receptions to make sure that yours is planned and executed flawlessly. We don't just show up and play music--we help make the night a success!
FACT: 72% of brides say that they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment. When you choose E&J Entertainment, you will be part of the 28% who are perfectly satisfied that you made the right choice.
*We provide top-of-the-line audio equipment (full set of back-up equipment included), dazzling dance floor lighting, and wireless microphones for speeches and announcements at no additional cost. We are sure to bring the right size equipment that will neither overwhelm the room nor be undersized for a large event. The bride and groom should be the main focus of the evening--not the DJ setup.
FACT: 94% of brides say that they would have devoted more of their wedding budget to the entertainment. With E&J Entertainment, you are getting two top-tier DJs and all of the trimmings for a fantastic price! But can you really put a price on the peace of mind that allows you to do nothing except enjoy your wedding day the way it should be enjoyed? We've got it handled so YOU don't have to worry about a thing. Priceless.
*Jason will put his past experience as a radio DJ to act as emcee throughout the evening and will help move along the event as planned. He has a very nice speaking voice and an outgoing personality that will immediately put your guests at ease.
FACT: 84% of brides surveyed said that having a Master of Ceremonies who provides guidance throughout their event was a very important feature when booking a DJ. We will work closely with the banquet manager, photographer and videographer to facilitate the events of the evening so you don't have to worry about anything! We will provide copies of the Reception Planning Document to them so they can follow along with the events throughout the evening and be in the right place at the right time.
*We LOVE to take requests! Who knows best what music you want to hear than...YOU AND YOUR GUESTS? When asked, 81% of wedding guests stated that the number one thing they remembered about a wedding was the entertainment and whether they had a good time! Our business is to make sure that your guests leave your reception talking about what a GREAT time they had! Part of our wedding reception planning sheet is a section dedicated to song requests so we can come prepared with all the right music. We are DJs without egos, and will not try to force our own personal music tastes on your guests.
*We will be completely set up well before your first guest arrives for the appetizer hour. Nobody likes to show up to an empty reception hall. We are there to greet them with a smile and some cheery music that will help facilitate the social hour before the bride and groom arrive.
*We have a digital and CD music library with well over 10,000 songs at the touch of our fingertips. Having everything digital allows us to keep our DJ station free from clutter and visually appealing. It also allows us to have a lot more music at your event to accomodate requests.
FACT: Did you know that 65% of brides who hired a live band for their reception said that if they could do it over again, they would hire a DJ?
*We take no break during dinner or any other time, and we will actually tailor your dinner music to your personal tastes. Tell us a few artists that you like, and we will hand select the songs that will play in the background during dinner and appetizer hour to lend your personal touch to every aspect of the largest party you will ever host!
*We will NOT play the music too loud during appetizer hour and dinner. People want to talk and eat, not stare at each other while they eat and listen to Barry White. That's just awkward.
*We WILL make sure that your guests have a good time. If you want us to teach the Hustle or the Boot Scoot Boogie, we can do it! That is why there are two DJs. One can help keep the dance floor moving while the other takes care of the musical selections.

"Dear Jason and Ed,
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at Emily and Brett's reception. We had so many positive comments about how you emceed the whole evening...our whole family said it was the most fun reception they had ever been to! When my other two daughters get married--if I paid for your hotel rooms--would you consider coming to Indiana? I couldn't be more pleased--thank you so very much!"
